Episode 1044. It would be faster to see with your eyes.
Throughout the movement, the members of Rufus Company looked around the extension.
These are the faces who want to do something in the snowfield where there is nothing.
Seeing the company members like that, Fabian said, ‘Tsk tsk!’ and clicked his tongue.
“Squadron commander, is it okay to bring new recruits like that?”
“You were like that three months ago. Anyone who hears will know how many years I have been rolling in Hirrhera?”
“Do you say that when you know how difficult it is to survive in Hirhera?”
“Yes, great.”
Elio shook his head at Fabian’s shameless words.
There are people who look alike wherever you go. It seems that Simtong’s youth was just like that.
When the long forest road came to an end, Elio glanced back at the company members.
If you get out of here, you will see cracks from then on.
‘How will the company members react?’
He said he did it because he didn’t know what an ice wall was, but would the people of this world do that too?
Moments later, Rufus Company passed through an ice forest.
“What is that?”
“Why is the ice wall like that?”
“Look over there! There is a hole in the ice wall!”
“What’s going on with that! The power of the creator god is broken?”
“Nonsense!”
“iced coffee! Mana Phrass! Save us!”
It would have been shocking just to see the crack, but unfortunately, a giant Smilodon (the leader of the Geomchi Tiger area) protruded from the crack.
Soon after, the fight between the Goliath Company (Putokoa Territory Army) and the giant Smilodon, which were positioned in front of the rift, began.
The members of Rufus Company, who had been making a fuss a moment ago, focused on the fight between the beasts and humans without even breathing.
pop! pop! pop-!
The sound of magic bullets exploding, the roar of the giant Smilodon, and the shouts of humans mixed together.
Alpha Company in the lead did not intervene in the fight, probably deciding that Goliath Company was enough.
The fight between a giant Smilodon with a body length of 5 meters and a relatively small human ended in human victory.
When the giant Smilodon fell, Alpha Company moved forward without delay and switched missions with Goliath Company.
The Goliath Company dismantled the giant Smilodon, extracted what they needed, and retreated in front of the rift.
Rufus Company took up a position to the rear about two hundred paces from Alpha Company.
When Rufus Company was in the midst of building their positions, the Goliath Company—which had replaced Alpha Company—passed in front of Rufus Company.
The members of Rufus Company, who had just come up from the territory, looked in awe at the Goliath Company members stained with the beast’s blood.
There was a long procession of Goliath companies carrying casualties or carrying them on their shoulders.
The company commander, Baron Rolf Fritz, who was walking at the head of Goliath Company with a tired face, hesitated and then moved toward Rufus Company.
Eventually, Baron Rolf Fritz stopped in front of Elio and bowed his head politely.
“I’m late, Baron, but congratulations on your success.”
“What is congratulations? There is no face at all.”
“Oh no. It’s just that I’m a little tired.”
“How is the situation? deep sea? Or less?”
“The number of demons is increasing. I’m worried that the demons will appear again. I heard that the Corvo Magic Corps is withdrawing, is that true?”
“Why are you asking me that? I am also a minor aristocrat.”
“Ah, I was wondering if the baron would know…”
Baron Rolf Fritz clearly lowered his stance in front of Elio.
He had no choice but to do so because he was an outstanding person who even challenged the Count of Putokoa to a fight.
“Instead, the Baylem Kingdom army is coming to support. I heard they leave when they arrive.”
Elio generously provided high-quality information.
Only then did Baron Rolf Fritz’s face light up a little.
“Still, it is fortunate that Alpha Company is next to us. At least it’s as safe as shift days. By the way, did you decide the emblem of Rufus Company to be White Wolf? It seems like a good fit for the North.”
Elio shook his hands at Baron Rolf Fritz’s flattering comments.
it means stop
After Baron Rolf Fritz politely ignored Elio, he caught up with the Goliath Company’s rear.
Fabian said as he walked away.
“Aren’t you wagging your tail too much?”
“A tail. Don’t underestimate people’s sincerity too much.”
“Ay, anyone can see that it’s a tail. The baron didn’t make the company flag, but it seems to fit well in the north. Poop!”
“Stop nagging and go to Alpha Company and ask for an emergency signal. We can’t intervene at any time.”
“yes!”
Fabian diligently ran towards the Alpha Company ahead.
In the meantime, the second lieutenants of Rufus Company, who had finished their deployment, gathered together.
The eldest of the knights, 1st Platoon Commander Lieutenant Dornan, glanced at the distant company commander and said,
“Has everyone seen it? The Goliath company commander cringing at our company commander?”
Dornan talked to the younger knights because they had become friends while coming from Bernardo’s estate to Hirhera.
Among them, 2nd Platoon Leader Lieutenant Judy, the youngest of them, shook her head.
“Iknow, right. Don’t go, come back and say hello? I heard that our company commander has no background. What is the situation?”
At her words, the knights shrugged their shoulders.
Lieutenant Ray, the jockey, said to Judy.
“Since Sir Judy is a staff member and an academy classmate, why don’t we ask him a sneak peek?”
“oh! that’s fine Sir Judy, use your strength.”
“Yeah, it seems like you two are friends.”
“all right.”
At the recommendation of her fellow knights, Judy readily nodded.
He thought so even if his fellow knights didn’t push his back anyway.
Fabian, who went to Alpha Company, returned in less than 30 minutes.
“Squadron Commander, Alpha Company Commander will fire a magic bullet for a crisis signal according to Yeongji-gun regulations.”
“Are there any rules?”
“yes. In case of crisis, red smoke magic bullets are fired during the day and red flares are fired at night.”
“Are you asking for help then?”
“Yes, you said so.”
“Should we just stare at the sky from now on?”
“Not quite like that. You can tell right away by looking at Alpha Company.”
“okay? Did you receive such training at the academy?”
“Yes, the magic bullet signal is the basis of the tactic.”
“okay. I have experience, so take a good look.”
“Leave it to me. I’ll take care of it, so don’t mind the company commander.”
“I trust people well.”
Before long, Elio lay down on a wooden chair.
‘Feel so good!’
After all, people should raise their status and look at it.
Wasn’t the reason why he was able to enjoy such leisure in front of the crack because he had risen to the position of company commander?
When you stand, you want to sit, when you sit, you want to lie down, and when you lie down, you want to sleep.
Elio, who had his eyes closed, began to doze off.
Elio closed his eyes and Fabian cautiously backed away.
Rufus Company is a support unit.
As such, it was the only thing to be vigilant in all directions.
The members of Rufus Company were very nervous after seeing the fight between Goliath Company and the Beast, but that didn’t last long either.
The area around the rift was quiet enough to be boring.
Judy approached Fabian, who was constantly yawning.
“Fabian.”
“Ah yes. Are you here?”
“It was great in the morning, but now it’s quiet?”
“It must be because he is the chief of the smilodons around here. When the boss dies, it doesn’t move very well until a new boss appears.”
“I see. What kind of person is our company commander?”
“He is a wonderful person.”
“Please explain in an easy-to-understand way.”
“If you are put into rift monitoring, you have to stay here for three days. It will be faster to see with your eyes.”
“Sheesh! You don’t want to teach me?”
“Because it’s so obvious that it’s hard to believe.”
“Is that enough?”
“It’s more than what Sir Judy has in his head right now.”
“no way! That’s not it.”
“Look. That’s why I’m not telling you. No matter what you imagine, our company commander is more than that.”
“You must be a baron.”
“You are the only baron to have received a fief within fifty years.”
“oh! Did you get a fief?”
“Our company commander is the lord of Slash Land.”
“wow! So you’re saying he’s a hereditary baron? amazing.”
An exclamation escaped Judy’s mouth.
Wouldn’t it be a war hero?
In times of peace, barons are merely the lowest-ranking nobility.
But receiving a fief is different.
This is because the lord is no different from the king of a region.
“why? Are you just interested?”
“huh. How old is our company commander?”
“Twenty-seven.”
“uh? Are you the same age as me? Great. marriage?”
“Savage tribes marry early. you have a wife But I think you’ve been divorced. It’s not exact, but it’s probably right.”
“Bereavement? dead?”
Fabian explained the relationship between Elio and Count Putocoa.
“…At that time, if Duke Escatos hadn’t intervened, the Putokoa county would have been destroyed. If it wasn’t for the rift monitoring mission, the Heir of Putokoa would have had at least one arm cut off?”
“for a moment! So, our company commander is a sword expert?”
“Otherwise, would His Highness drop you off to the territory? Right now, the Empire is also scrambling to take her.”
“iced coffee! So you said you don’t need a back boat? Hey, if you’re a sword expert, you don’t need anything else.”
Fabian chuckled.
I wondered what kind of expression he would make if he said that the rank of company commander could be higher than that.
“how is it? Are you still interested in the company commander?”
At Fabian’s words, Judy pursed her lips.
This is because the company commander, the lord of Slash Land and a sword expert, is a wall he cannot dare to cross.
“it’s a shame. I was wondering what to do if it wasn’t for a sword expert.”
“Poop! There is a female knight named Baron Ashley Nelson in the Corvo Magic Corps, who is called ‘the jewel that the crow took away’? Her beauty is so outstanding that the garrison knights circle around her.”
“however?”
“That Baron Ashley Nelson follows our company commander around and doesn’t even look at him.”
“Oh no way.”
“Our company commander, his wife is the most beautiful in the world. It breaks my heart every time I hear something like that.”
“So what? Don’t drink in vain? Or, since you don’t have a wife, should you be brave and do your best? Which one? Don’t confuse people and tell me straight.”
At Judy’s insistence, Fabian covered his mouth with his index finger and glanced at Elio’s seat.
“Shh! The sound is too loud. Do you know how bright our company commander’s ears are? He is the one who can hear the rabbit digging in the snow from 300 meters away.”
“Sheesh! that’s not quite Do you know that being good at swordsmanship can brighten your ears?”
“Oh really. I saw it when I entered Tamion.”
“what? Are you entering Tamion? Did you go over the ice wall?”
“Oh, you don’t know that either. My company commander and I returned from scouting Tamion for three days. After that, the garrison calls us ‘Knights of the Rift’.”
“really?”
“yes.”
“really? really?”
“When you go to the garrison later, grab someone and ask them. real or not. Anyway, at that time, he found a rabbit digging in the snow 300 meters away. The sound of snow scraping is so annoying that I can’t sleep.”
“Isn’t that a joke?”
“I ate rabbit meat that day.”
“Wow…”
Judy’s mouth fell open.
You can hear a rabbit digging in the snow from 300 meters away!
that’s when
Dozens of white wolves jumped out of the cracks in the distance.
That’s not the end.
followed by ‘Kung! thud! Two ice ogres appeared with a heavy vibrating sound.
It was clear that the ice ogres chasing the white wolves had crossed the rift.
