◈ 524. [Side Story] Discipline
Time flies and it’s the last day of February.
An event was held here to honor all those who lost their lives on the front lines.
The days passed again and it was March.
Troops and supplies from all over the world began to arrive at Crossroads, where the chilly air of early spring remained.
“I’ve never seen such a crowded crossroad in my life… .”
Looking down at the bustling city, Evangeline gave a small admiration.
As troops arrived in earnest and supplies began to pile up, the city was crowded like never before.
Looking towards the barracks crowded with wagons and soldiers, I nodded.
“You did well to build additional barracks.”
a few months ago. As the existing barracks were about to be full, they ordered new barracks to be built.
Just in time, the new barracks had just been completed, and just in time new troops began pouring in.
‘Come on, move in to the new construction~’
Lucas cautiously added that I was satisfied while receiving a report on the situation of the troops, which were quickly expanded and ample.
“Actually, the new barracks may not be enough… We need more space to accommodate additional troops.”
“I guess I’ll have to order additional construction.”
As we were contemplating where to locate the third barracks, Evangeline muttered next to us.
“By the way, after defeating all the monsters, what are those buildings going to be used for?”
Um sure.
It will be useful for a year right now, but after that, dealing with these many barracks will become a headache. it would be empty
Contemplating, I nodded towards Evangeline.
“Does reserve Marshal Evangeline Cross have any ideas?”
“Uh-huh?! Reserve Marquee?!”
Evangeline made a strange noise and jumped up. It seems that you are excited about the word reserve Marshal.
Evangeline crossed her arms and snorted in agony.
“That’s right. By then, I’ll be ruling this city as Marquis… … I also have to deal with the issue of disposing of the remaining military facilities. Whoops… … !”
“iced coffee… I will trust and entrust you to Margrave Heir.”
“Friendly clothes!”
Okay transfer success.
Behind Evangeline, who was seriously thinking, I laughed evilly. Lucas was looking at me with a bitter smile. what man
In addition to troops, various military supplies were brought into the Crossroads in a row.
As a result of the consultation, countries that had difficulty sending troops sometimes sent money or supplies instead.
The munitions warehouse had also been expanded in advance, so there was no problem in accommodating it.
‘I’ll just have to sort out the boulders.’
Whether it is the troops sent from various places or military supplies, the actual useful rate is highly unlikely to be that high.
I’m not in a position to be screened, but I’ll still have to sort things out.
‘I’m going to be busy… … .’
I’ve been busy enough so far, though. uh
***
The 3rd year’s monster front is about twice as harsh as the 12th year’s in terms of quantity.
In the last 2 years, I’ve done 25 defensive battles combined.
Year 3 must conduct 25 defensive battles in one year. In other words, from stage 26 to stage 50, it is rushed within one year.
Twice the number of waves of monsters that have come. Literally, it can be called a wave attack.
A very, very difficult year will unfold. But I can’t put my hands on it because it’s hard.
You have to be prepared.
‘So start restoring the forward base.’
Before the monsters pour in more earnestly.
The forward base must be reactivated. as complete as possible.
Fortunately, supplies and manpower are gathering from all over the world, and it was restored once before. The work itself shouldn’t be too difficult.
Yeongju’s office. I swung the pen holder in my hand and lost myself in thought.
‘The immediate task is to restore the forward base. Classification and redeployment of new troops and materiel. and… .’
It’s a low priority, but you also have to deal with the loot from the last battle.
‘What kind of equipment should I make with the midnight sun’s magic core and who should I give it to… … .’
Again, it became possible to create a new Nightmare Slayer.
As the White Night was a very powerful wizard, the Nightmare Slayer that can be produced must also be of extraordinary power.
What equipment to make? attack gear? defense equipment? artifact? If so, who are the users? Wizard? or not?
“… .”
But in fact, there were loot that was more troublesome than equipment.
The information obtained by looking into the head of the midnight sun.
‘Demon king foreign press destruction play… … .’
Stories from out of this world.
And the information I’ve gathered from various other places in the meantime.
Putting all of this together, it seems that we can finally see the overall outline.
‘… Anyway, this is not important to me.’
reality before your eyes.
Survive with everyone in the 3rd year’s monster front. This immediate problem was the real problem that I had to solve with all my heart.
So I’m going to put off the troublesome setting game and look at the pending issues again… … .
It was then.
bang!
“It’s a big deal, my lord!”
Suddenly, Lucas rushed into the office and shouted with an urgent face. I blinked my eyes.
“what. What is it?”
Isn’t it time for the monster to attack yet?
“That’s why some of the newly joined troops… … .”
Lucas reported in a cold sweat.
“You’re arguing with our soldiers!”
“Ah?”
I snorted and pushed the chair back. what else do i say
“Isn’t it a common thing to have fights? It’s basically getting to know each other by bumping into each other. Kids get close while fighting~”
It’s not like our kids are going to get hit and lose. I wonder if I don’t know.
“Tell it to our children. Don’t be beaten and show me when the other side gets into a fight. The Lord is in charge!”
“By the way, that… .”
Lucas, who was hesitant, looked at me.
“We cannot act strongly… .”
“huh? why?”
“Because the other person’s status is high.”
ah. Come to think of it, there are cases like that.
Unlike other mercenaries who have joined the monster front in the meantime, among those joining from all over the world, there are a lot of famous royal families and knights.
If you are not in the same class, it may be difficult to cope.
I groaned and got up from my seat.
“Do I have to sort out the order following the selection of the boulder… .”
What should I do? This is what happens naturally when organizations merge.
As I put on my coat and stepped out of the office, Lucas took the lead and guided me. I shouted vigorously.
“Okay let’s go! Let’s strengthen the discipline of the new Assei!”
***
Brand new barracks.
The troops on both sides are fighting fiercely at the entrance of this hectic place due to the new soldiers moving in. What are you doing blocking the road!
Standing on one side are our soldiers and heroes.
Even just looking at them, they were reassuring – Kuilan and Thorkel, the ill-tempered blind swordsman Nobody, and the warlock Chain, etc., crumpled their faces to the fullest and exhaled threatening air.
‘It’s trustworthy.’
It is a picture that can instill manners no matter who the opponent is.
I feel reassured that I can receive a refund in exchange for any goofy tricks.
And the one on the other side… … Knights wearing silver armor and scarlet cloaks.
Both the uniform armor and cloak were polished in real battles, so it was unusual to have minor scratches, but the creatures they dragged behind were even more threatening.
A creature with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion.
‘griffon!’
The griffons, saddled and even wearing armor, opened their beaks menacingly.
Our shoulders twitched each time, probably because we were embarrassed by the creature we saw for the first time.
‘If it’s an armed group fighting on a griffon… … .’
only one on this continent.
‘Heaven Knights!’
I lifted my head and looked for the opponent’s commander. Soon, a boy knight who stood out at the center of the knights caught my eye.
It was a boy with scarlet hair and a long braid on one side.
Like the knights around him, he wore silver armor and a scarlet cape, and a rapier with a scarlet jewel was also worn around his waist.
A kingdom built between the desert and snowy mountains in the northwestern part of the continent – Vermilion.
The country’s Crown Prince and Knight Commander Mikhail Vermillion!
‘It’s an SSR grade!’
Besides, Mikhail is not just a simple SSR class.
He is a magic swordsman character with a unique position as an aerial cavalryman who fights riding a griffon.
He is a crazy character who is highly favored by the worldview and is capable of aerial maneuvers, but also uses magic and is good at swordsmanship.
‘The only downside is… … It’s just that I’m young.’
He is 15 years old at the present time, in his third year.
I was 16 when Evangeline joined me in the first year, but I’m younger than Evangeline then.
The potential is MAX, but it is far from fully blooming.
In the game, the negative attribute ‘full of mistakes’ and even ‘recklessness’ were added. Should I say that the excellent performance was balanced by demerit of this or that… … .
Anyway, this is the character that was my number 0 recruiting target.
‘In the game, Fernandez destroyed the kingdom of Vermilion, so he became the crown prince of the ruined country, wandering around and joining at the last minute.’
This time, the decisive battle between me and Fernandez was hastened, and the domino effect saved the kingdom of Vermilion from destruction… … It seems that the development of the crown prince and the knights joining as members of the world defense front.
‘Anyway, it seems that Mikhail and the Blue Sky Knights are the main culprits of quarreling with our children.’
I strode toward it with Lucas. My kids discovered me first and loved it.
“Leader!”
“Are you here, Your Highness!”
A certain desperation was felt in the eyes of our stalwarts. ‘Please show these bastards what they saw!’ doing.
“Huh.”
As I stood in front, Mikhail looked up at me with his round scarlet eyes slightly squinting.
“Is that the famous boneheader?”
“Doesn’t it feel good that my name is known even to the Vermillion Kingdom?”
When I smiled, Mikhail narrowed his eyes and grumbled.
“Then it is very well known. A human being who promised to marry my older sister and broke it after 15 days.”
“… .”
I stiffened with a smile.
I could feel my subordinates all looking at me with angry eyes. Cold sweat ran down my back.
‘No, it’s not my fault! I don’t know!’
By the way, who the hell is this bastard Kim Ash from the past who didn’t touch her! How many times have you broken up your engagement worldwide!
I asked cautiously, wiping the sweat from my brow.
“Excuse me, but… How is your sister… … ?”
“Oh, you don’t have to worry. At that time, I was angry with you for breaking up my marriage, so after that, I took only five husbands. I live well.”
Are you living well?! Didn’t the taste go away because of me?!
“The breakup of marriage with my older sister was a political issue between the two countries, so it is not something to discuss now.”
The boy knight standing in front of me opened his small chin menacingly.
“What I want to discuss now is the wire itself here.”
“The wire itself?”
“Abama fell for their threats and dispatched our Sky Knights, the kingdom’s most powerful force, with the momentum to drain the liver and gallbladder like this. I am not fooled by that.”
Mikhail, with his back straight and short stature, crossed his arms.
“Tell me honestly. I can’t understand the current situation itself, where we are gathering troops from all over the world for something as trivial as killing a monster.”
“… .”
The faces of our soldiers hardened. I also narrowed my brows and narrowed my eyes.
What did you say now, kid?
Just kill the monster?
nothing… … say?
