Episode 1045. You can’t learn.
Among the Escatos Kingdom army, the units with high pride – standing at the forefront of rift surveillance – are the Alpha Company, the Diva Company, and the Goliath Company.
However, the most favored unit of the knights and soldiers was the Bellatos Company, the Equus Company, and the Hero Company – escorting the magicians.
Alpha Company, Diva Company, Goliath Company are praised by everyone as the most elite troops of the Kingdom Army, but their mortality rate is overwhelmingly high.
Because it was such a dangerous place, from knights to soldiers, their pride was as strong as that of the Empire’s Corvo Magic Corps.
The commanders also did not seek outside help, believing that ‘we are the best’.
In fact, there was also a practical reason that other units were not very helpful.
When a group of white wolves came out of the crack, the musketeers of Alpha Company fired magic bullets at once.
pop! pop! pop-!
The White Wolf belongs to the weak among the monsters.
However, it is not so weak that it can be killed by a magic bullet.
Each time you get hit directly by a magic bullet, the White Wolf’s signature ‘Kaeng!’ He twisted his body with a scream.
However, not a single one of them collapsed while bleeding profusely after being hit by magic bullets.
The white wolf usually turned around and ran away when magic bullets rained down on it, but this time it was different.
Stretched ‘Kgae-gang!’ While screaming, the White Wolves ran forward.
After that, two gigantic ice ogres quickly jumped out from inside the rift.
thud! thud! thud! thud!
The footsteps of the Ice Ogres echoed across the snowfield.
The appearance of the Ice Ogre threw Alpha Company into confusion.
Surprised, the gunmen turned their guns at the Ice Ogre.
During that time, the White Wolves penetrated Alpha Company’s gaps, but Alpha Company did not respond.
It was because he had to face the ice ogre that was charging him now.
Baron Dennis Robin, commander of Alpha Company, drew his longsword and shouted to his staff.
“Victor! Call for support!”
After speaking, he walked straight ahead.
A single Ice Ogre would be enough for Alpha Company to handle.
But if it’s two, there’s nothing to think about.
If you don’t want to be annihilated, you must retreat from the forefront of the rift.
However, I didn’t want to do it against a monster, not a monster.
‘I’ll block it somehow.’
At the command of the company commander, Victor Aster ran to the nearby 1st platoon gunmen.
“A call for support! Fire up the red smoke grenade!”
Before long, on the top of Alpha Company, a ‘Boom!’ Red smoke rose with the sound.
Fabian, who was looking over Alpha Company with Judy, hurriedly returned to the company commander.
“Squadron commander! Alpha…”
said Elio, who jumped up before Fabian could finish his words.
“I’ll take the guy in the back! You command the company and stop the white wolves from escaping!”
Missing the White Wolf would cost the residents nearby Hirhera, so it had to be dealt with here.
After giving instructions, Elio ran forward like the wind.
Fabian, like a prepared staff member, blocked all roads with three platoons.
Soon after, Rufus Company and the White Wolves collided head-on.
Elio kicked off the snowfield with the same momentum as he was running and soared into the sky.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time, so I feel like my heart is open.
The stuffy feeling that had been suppressed since coming to this world exploded in an instant.
At that moment, he thought involuntarily, “Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” and exclaimed the sense of place.
A deafening roar shook the area around the rift.
It was to the extent that the Ice Ogres, who had been running amok with that tremendous cry, flinched and stopped for a moment.
Before long, Elio fell from the sky holding his sword.
Everything happened in an instant.
Elio’s Thunder Sword cleanly cut the Ice Ogre, who was said to be the most powerful land magician, from head to crotch.
Chow ah-!
The ice ogre split in two with a cracking sound that followed.
After fighting the Ice Ogre, Baron Dennis Robin, Alpha Company Commander, looked back carelessly, his mouth gaping.
The Ice Ogre, who was fighting Alpha Company, paused as if he was shocked.
Baron Dennis Robin, who quickly came to his senses, cut the heel of the ice ogre standing blankly with his longsword loaded with mana force.
‘Kwajik!’ With a sound, the Ice Ogre’s heel cracked.
“Big!”
With a scream, the Ice Ogre limped back.
Following the gruesome death of his comrade, the Ice Ogre, whose heel tendon was severed, seemed to have lost his fighting spirit and continued to walk backwards.
Alpha Company then shouted ‘Wow!’ It roared and clung to the Ice Ogre like a swarm of bees.
As the cornered Ice Ogres counterattacked, Baron Dennis Robin shouted at the gunmen.
“Shoot me in the eyes! Eyes!”
pop! pop! pop! pop-!
As the magic bullets focused on his eyes, the Ice Ogre covered his face with both hands.
In the meantime, the swords of the Alpha company commander and the knights ripped through the ice ogre’s body little by little.
“Ooooh!”
At one point, the ice ogre’s body, which had been white as snow, began to heat up red.
Baron Dennis Robin gritted his teeth as the Ice Ogre showed signs of going berserk.
I thought it would run away if pushed to the limit, but Ice Ogre, who lost his comrades, is holding on to the end.
‘It shouldn’t go berserk here.’
At this point, there is no difference.
A berserk ice ogre is too much for a sword beginner.
Somehow I have to stop breathing before that happens.
Baron Dennis Robin pushed mana to the limit.
Swoouuuuuuuuuuuuu
A faint light shone on his blade.
It fell short of the Sword Expert’s mana aura, but it was sharper than the Sword Beginner’s mana force.
Ice Ogre couldn’t take his hands off his face as the magic bullets relentlessly aimed at his face.
Seeing an opportunity, Baron Dennis Robin stepped on the Ice Ogre’s knees and soared upward.
When something fluttered in front of his face, the Ice Ogre removed the hand he was covering.
In an instant, Baron Dennis Robin’s longsword pierced the thick neckline.
Kwajik-!
Red blood gushed from the ice ogre’s throat, which had been deeply cut by the longsword.
“Kuok!”
The Ice Ogre’s knees bent as if he was holding onto his neck like a human and didn’t know what to do.
Magic bullets rained down on the ice ogre’s open face.
pop! pop! pop-!
Eyeballs burst and nose blown out.
The body of the ice ogre, which had been red hot, regained its original color.
But that’s only for a moment.
The ice ogre’s body was stained bright red with the blood that flowed from it.
Soon after, the Ice Ogre’s body fell backwards.
Baron Dennis Robin approached Elio after confirming the Ice Ogre’s death.
“thank you. I am glad that Sir Elio is here. White Wolf is sorry.”
“It’s not like that on purpose. What? are you okay. Enough then.”
After speaking, Elio turned to Rufus’ company.
Rufus Company also seems to have started cleaning up to see if the fighting is over.
When Elio trudged back, the members of Rufus Company quickly returned to their seats like a group of killifish.
Uncharacteristically for a unit that won a great victory without much damage in the first real battle they encountered, Rufus Company was quiet.
Now, the members of Rufus Company were concentrating on their commander, Company Captain Elio’s every move.
Unbelievable leaping power that suddenly soared into the sky, and a swordsmanship that cut the Ice Ogre in two with one sword.
They belatedly realized what kind of person their company commander was.
A sword expert, not a sword beginner!
No, the company commander was such an excellent swordsman that it was embarrassing to call him a sword expert.
1st Platoon Leader 2nd Lieutenant Dornan whispered to 2nd Lieutenant Ray Morgan, the rider nearby.
“ray. Did you see the company commander earlier?”
“I saw it.”
“Of course you heard that too, right?”
“How could I not hear that?”
“Then did you see the ice ogre stiffen after hearing that sound?”
“Is it? You didn’t hesitate for a moment, did you?”
“Because I saw it clearly. As soon as I heard the sound, it hardened. The company commander threw the two of them away before the stiffness went away.”
“Is that possible with the sound of spirit?”
“How can it be! If that was the case, everyone would have started screaming when fighting?”
“Then what is rigidity?”
“I don’t know. It’s full of strange things. I’ve never seen a knight soar into the sky like a bird. what leap is that? it’s a flight Where is the man who leaps a hundred meters high?”
“It is. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone like our company commander. That’s enough to honestly believe it’s fly magic.”
“Are you a magic swordsman?”
“Please. If it was a magic swordsman, rumors would have already spread. Didn’t you just hear that he was a knight of savage origin?”
“Yeah, that’s right. But it’s really high enough to be called a fly. Like the strange screaming sound that stiffened the Ice Ogre.”
“The screaming was really shocking enough to give goosebumps. Even the demons won’t be able to make such a sound.”
Lieutenant Judy approached them.
“What are you whispering about?”
“Sir Judy. Have you heard anything more from Chief Fabian?”
Judy answered Platoon Leader Dornan’s question.
“As you can see, everyone says I am a sword expert. And again… I came back from scouting across the rift for three days with Fabian.”
“Tameion?”
“Yes, so the garrison calls our company commander and staff ‘Knights of the Rift’?”
“To think that no one entered Tameion, but they did reconnaissance for three days! He was a really ignorant person.”
Lieutenant Ray Morgan, the rider, shook his head.
“If this is the case, what am I going to do after saying that the company commander doesn’t have a back seat? My mouth is resentful.”
“You have to be careful from now on. Indeed, our company commander’s ears are so bright. So even whispering is useless. I want you to know.”
Lieutenant Ray Morgan looked at Judy nervously.
“How bright is it?”
“He even heard the sound of a rabbit digging in the snow from 300 meters away.”
“ha! I’m going crazy.”
If his ears were really that sharp, he would have heard what he said in the garrison.
It was dark before my eyes to think that I had been filmed by the company commander.
Until evening, two more monsters appeared near the rift, but since they were all low-level species, Rufus Company did not move.
And darkness fell.
It was the first night that Rufus Company had been put into actual combat.
There is no tent at the forefront of Rift Watch.
A roof and a windbreak to block the snow are all that is allowed.
The soldiers built a windbreak under the leadership of the december and took turns resting inside it.
It was the same for Elio and Fabian.
The two squatted in front of the fire stone and rubbed their palms as usual.
“Squadron commander.”
“why?”
“When the ice ogre showed up during the day.”
“uh.”
“You flew up into the sky… Is it magic like a fly?”
“no. It’s just a technique to lighten up and run.”
“You ran?”
“uh.”
“Do you have any skills to jump that high?”
“You can’t learn.”
“why? Teach me that too.”
“It’s a technique based on aura. Can you give up mana?”
Elio stared at Fabian.
Since his own teachings were based on the Nine Heavens and One True Sutra, it was a piece of cake for Fabian.
