chapter 40
40 – 11. The inevitable (2)
“Keep it off! Knock!”
“Caek! Kack!”
why did i say that
why the hell did we do that
While screaming, with deep regret inside.
The attendants were urging their steps to live.
Most of them were driven to the brink of exhaustion.
It wouldn’t be strange if he collapsed on the spot right away.
Even so, most of them are running with all their might.
The reason they gritted their teeth and came on was very simple.
“Wait a minute! for a moment!”
After being pushed back and forth, an attendant finally got away from the main unit.
Adele slowly approaches from behind with a club.
“I will not speak at length. Wake up quickly.”
It’s not just a threat, it’s actually beaten.
Not only the attendants who saw it, but also the knights were horrified.
Training is important, but power loss should be avoided.
But they beat me with a stick just because I was hit from behind.
It was bound to be seen as too much for anyone to see.
But both Brenda and Rascal tacitly agreed.
Adele is strong, and there must be a reason for that strength.
One of the reasons must be his steel-like stamina.
It would be beneficial if the attendants could follow even half of that stamina.
“If it doesn’t happen on the count of five, it’s considered agreed.”
“all right. All right, Adele. wait, wait… .”
“five.”
Counting to five was just five, not one to five!
As Adele approached with a club, the attendant hurriedly stood up.
Even Adele skillfully tapped only the fleshy areas.
To prevent damage to bones, muscles and organs.
Instead, it hurts so much that you wake up.
He swung his stick as if this was a daily occurrence.
“Go, go! I’m going!”
“There is no second one.”
Runs forward like crazy again.
But it didn’t take long before I sat down again.
This time it wasn’t because it was difficult, it was for a different reason.
“Aww!”
I thought I was confident in terms of physical strength.
If you play with your body more than that, you will get a rat.
I can no longer run because of muscle spasms.
This cannot be resolved through willpower or perseverance.
Even a knight can’t do anything about it.
“Turn off… .”
The attendant thought of Adele, who was running from behind.
I don’t want to be treated with a stick again. I have to stand up.
Thinking so, he suddenly realizes that he is the only one who has collapsed.
All the other colleagues were breathing heavily.
He managed to keep running without collapsing like himself.
Forward, forward, that’s how everyone runs forward.
‘… Am I the only one left behind?’
At some point, the fear of Adele approaching from behind disappeared.
Instead, only the disappearing colleagues came to mind.
I felt very sorry for myself for not being able to run together.
It was clear that if I continued like this, I would be hit alone in the back.
“Keuk… .”
I try to stand up by forcibly moving my stiff legs.
i can do more No, we have to do more.
I want to be with my colleagues, I want to be next to them too.
There’s no reason not to say that I can’t do what they all do!
“Keep it!”
But the muscle spasm did not let him go so easily.
The moment when my body, which does not follow my will, is just savage.
All my colleagues are gritting their teeth and doing it, but I’m going to collapse alone.
I was so pathetic to myself that I couldn’t stand it.
However, I suddenly felt my body floating upwards.
And I always heard that calm tone in my ears.
“There is no second one.”
With an attendant slung over one shoulder, Adele accelerated.
It’s hard to just run barefoot, but with a strong man on the back.
After a while, another attendant was placed on the other shoulder.
“Huh! omg!”
Others who were running in full swing also confirmed the appearance.
Adele, who was surrounded by two people, gradually increased her speed.
In the end, it meant overtaking all the leaders.
Seeing that, I get a bit of a chill.
That guy is faster than them even with two people.
what the hell are they doing!
What would you do if you were later than Adele!
“Big! aaa!!”
Each of the attendants screamed and increased their speed.
Even if your heart feels like it’s about to explode, even if it feels like your muscles are about to tear.
don’t stop, don’t rest, don’t give up
I want to catch up with Adele, who is running ahead of me.
Even if I can’t overtake it, I want to stick closely behind it.
“Cheuk! omg! Whoops!”
The servants who finally reach the destination collapse.
Adele was the first to arrive, looking at the two rat-infested attendants.
After confirming that everyone has entered, up to the last person.
It is Adele who quietly bends down and takes up her posture.
“It is still.”
“Hey?”
“You must not rest yet. It is of no use if you are already cold.”
For Adele, this is just the beginning.
When you are asked to do something, you must do your best.
So, as requested by my fellow servants, about leading them.
Adele decided to do the best she could.
“… What is this?”
Meanwhile, the instructors sensed a louder noise than usual.
He was looking at the attendants who were running like crazy.
At first, I thought it was voluntary training.
But when I looked at the situation, Adele was training them.
‘It might get a little difficult.’
They say her skills are excellent, but Adele is, after all, a servant like them.
Teaching attendants is the job of a knight, not an attendant.
It is an act that can be regarded as an act of excess of authority if done wrong.
The outstanding part is recognized by everyone at Lichtenau.
However, should we move in the direction of raising self-confidence?
The instructors couldn’t help but worry about that part.
But no one is stopping him.
He only looked at the attendants and Adele with strange eyes.
The leader, Brender, and the senior, Rascal, agreed.
It is Adele who fought Sir Geon of Fiore and Sir Derry, who was an imperial knight.
It is a servant who wins, but it is a level where a genius or a monster should stick in front of him.
Originally, it should be restrained, but I really can’t.
“It’s a sudden thought, gentlemen. Shouldn’t we also train harder?”
Rather, it reached a level of concern.
If Adele becomes a kind of leader and assists the attendants.
If their level grows even one step higher than now.
Aren’t they, seniors, no longer able to feel at ease?
“surely… It might hurt your pride a little.”
Not the senior instructors, but the same colleague, the attendant, for a favor.
The other attendant was none other than Adele, even though the other attendants understood.
Also, for some reason, I wonder if I am lacking as a senior.
‘I’ll have to double the amount of training starting today.’
‘I feel like my sword path is getting a bit clogged these days, but I’ll find a way within this month.’
It was the moment when an untimely training frenzy came to Lichtenau.
* * *
“… This time, let’s take a look at the situation with the reserve team.”
“Even if it’s 5th grade, don’t let your guard down. Prepare thoroughly.”
“Only wounded soldiers came out? Fortunately, the. I am very fortunate.”
While working diligently on the paperwork.
Shien paid attention to the most important demonic realm.
And has her efforts paid off?
In the course of a month, not a single casualty was reported.
Serious injuries inevitably occurred in several cases.
In any case, precious lives were not lost.
“This time we block with soldiers, not knights. I need more experience.”
“The knights wait and push from the side.”
As success piled up, he grew more confident than Ciendo.
A little more certain, and boldly judged and acted.
Although they do not always stay on the front line and fight together.
He did his best to help the battle.
To lose no one, to let no one die.
You’ve done well so far, so you’ll do better in the future.
With that in mind, I did my job as the head of the family.
“My lord.”
Then one day, a slightly different report came up.
“My lord. We report. A magic spectacle has occurred. However, it is said that two demonic realms occurred at the same time, not too far apart.”
“Are they happening at the same time? Are you sure?”
“yes. Sightings have been confirmed to have occurred at the same time.”
Sean’s face frowned slightly.
Originally, only one demon appears once it appears.
However, on very rare occasions, two Demonic Views appear.
In this case, troop deployment was really important.
Occasionally, monsters that cause synergistic effects appear at the same time.
From a human point of view, it was because a situation that was not dangerous.
“I guess I should go see this one myself.”
So when Cien made that decision.
Neither Brenda nor Rascal had any objection.
When we arrived at the scene, the soldiers were already under the command of the knights.
Almost perfect battles that lasted for a month.
Because of that, not everyone seemed to be too concerned.
“My lord. Are you here?”
“What’s the situation, what’s the level of the Magician?”
“One side is level 5, the other side is level 4. However, the situation was a little strange, so we prepared twice as much as usual.”
Shien nodded as if he liked it.
If you thoroughly prepare and prepare, you can win this time too.
Everyone is alive and can go see their families again.
“Fight the battle as you always do, but always be alert for contingencies.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Those in command return to their seats.
Shien and the knights under his direct command go to the highest place and prepare to monitor the situation.
“Shin-nim.”
Meanwhile, Adele sneaks up to her.
“I think it would be better to move the reserve unit to the rear.”
“Place the reserve in the rear?”
Adele nodded.
It seemed that Shien did not understand him well.
Reserves should stand by at the front, so they can prepare for an emergency.
If your formation collapses and your allies are chased, you will have to save them right away.
However, Adele was telling me to pull back the reserve completely.
“I have seen cases like this before.”
“In this case… You mean when the Demonic Realm is created at the same time?”
“yes. In cases like this, it rarely ends with two.”
Shien looked at Adele for a moment.
If someone else had said that, it would have been long.
But since Adele says so, it could very well be.
After thinking about it, Shien hurriedly called a messenger.
“Immediately place the reserve in the rear.”
“yes? Lord. I’ll check again. Are you moving the reserve to the rear?”
“yes. Deliver it right now.”
The messenger said for a moment, ‘Can I do that?’ made a face.
What if the reserve forces protecting their backs suddenly retreated to the rear?
There may be agitation among soldiers preparing for battle.
And that agitation often works fatally in battles with demons.
“… All right. move to the rear of the reserve. I will pass on the name.”
However, the command and decision were always up to Shien.
His job was simply to deliver orders clearly.
Thinking so, the messenger quickly ran.
“… .”
Adele stared at one place.
Perhaps, this time he felt like he had to step in on his own.
