Academy Light Attribute Vampire - Academy Light Attribute Vampire chapter 118

118 – An Unexpected Guest

-Parr.

“…What’s wrong, Lai? Is it cold?”

“No… I’m getting chills all of a sudden.”

Is it because it rained last night?

The body temperature may have gone down because of the dew that fell from the tree.

“Is this enough?”

Because there is a possibility that patrol personnel may come,

Get out of the barracks as quickly as possible.

Of course, documents in the barracks were randomly photographed.

“Then let’s take a look at the documents we each took pictures of. Let me know if you find any useful information.”

“Okay! …Huh?”

“Why?”

“…Was in selfie mode.”

-Tak.

“…Wow.”

Looking at Elena’s smart watch,

It was full of pictures of Elena staring at the screen with a serious expression.

“Hey…You.”

“Yeah… But I still remember the contents! Hmm. That’s right! It was a food budget document!

I think there was a list of food movement lines and… Items?”

If it’s related to food, there’s a good chance it wasn’t that important.

“… Fortunately out of misfortune.”

At that time.

“… Guys. This sounds like something important.”

Grade, who was looking at the photo Seong Jin-ha sent, came this way.

“What is it?”

“This. The contents are strange.”

-Sueuk.

-A, B gate charge: Unit 17-1~17-5.

Above the document where the items are divided,

‘10.500. 2’ Is written.

Looking at the paper being torn here and there,

It seemed that Seong Jin-ha had torn up important documents and put them back together.

In charge of gates A and B.

“How many gates did we pass through?”

“Three.”

“…But why are there only two in charge?”

“Yeah…”

There were two possibilities.

There are 3 gates,

They were not listed in the document because I opened one later in a hurry.

And another one.

The ‘A’ gate meant the three gates we passed through.

“…There are more B’s.”

Two gates.

According to the number 10.500.2,

Unless that force was multiplied by 10, it was difficult to break through the front gate of Merveus.

Still, secretly on the outskirts of Merveus,

The reason for trying to move a small number of troops.

“…”

Come to think of it, there was something strange.

In the description in the novel, the situation of the war was expressed as a ‘siege war’.

Because the focus is on the Merveus royal family,

From noble mtl dot com

Because I had to deal with enemies coming from all directions.

At first, I thought it collapsed from the inside due to the infighting of the new hardline vampires.

-Ah…! Isn’t it the day the House of Minerva moves tonight?

If you look at the conversation with Charlie,

The New Ganggyeong faction vampires within Merveus didn’t seem to move with that level of resolution.

Even if you look only at the level of the mercenaries you dealt with at Charlie’s Mansion in the first place,

The level of armed forces possessed by the new hardliners was not that high.

All of the talented mercenaries, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, have all been under the umbrella of Dimension.

Then why?

Merveus, even though he knew of the enemy’s raid, did he helplessly occupy all the places except the royal palace?

The moment Dimension’s intervention was confirmed,

There must have been a joining of the neutral forces, the guild and the academy.

Of course, it might have been a little slow because the academy and guild didn’t notice the third force like now, but

Even so, it’s hard to believe that the entire outskirts were occupied in less than a day…

“Wait.”

Hidden barracks and gates on the outskirts.

The ambiguous number of troops to break through the center.

“… Grade.”

“Huh?”

“Do you know who guards the perimeter of Merveus?”

The Richerti family was located close to the royal family,

Among these, Grade who has been living in Merveus for the longest would know.

“…That’s right. They’re retired knights and guards. Just a simple ID check or a report on the occurrence of a gate, and the guild will come running.”

Unlike the previous war against vampires,

Humans do not own land in the dimension ‘Merhem’.

As a result, the Merveus side must be in a tense situation, strengthening only the internal borders.

“… There were 6 checkpoint locations in Merveus, right?”

“That’s right. There are 3 borders between the Academy and Elbheim. There are 3 checkpoints within the country.”

The checkpoints within the country were the checkpoints connecting the capital of Merveus and the provinces.

Excluding the central checkpoint where the royal family is located, there are only two places left.

A gate and B gate.

Tonight.

While neo-hardline families within the border rebelled and turned their attention to the royal family,

The human army was scheduled to ambush two locations except for the central checkpoint in Merveus.

By taking advantage of what they don’t know that they can pop up inside the country using ‘gates’.

Of course, with this amount of troops, the belatedly dispatched knights and guards would be enough to subdue them, but

If checkpoints are breached and civilians are taken hostage…

“…So. You mean there’s another gate?”

“That’s right. And the fact that the unit in charge is the same is likely to be in a nearby location.”

I couldn’t kill the fantasy eye here.

“Elena, is there anything suspicious around you?”

There was also a way to go back to the gate, return to Merveus, and then head to the checkpoint on the other side,

Since I organized my thoughts and shared opinions with the children, a lot of time has already passed.

‘If you run, you’ll be late.’

Even if I tell Queen Adelana from now on,

It will take time to get support from the royal family to the outskirts.

In addition, the royal family also had to deal with the dimension army that was about to attack the center.

“Hey…Hey! I think it’s over there!”

When Elena turned her head in the direction she was pointing at,

A mountain peak that was quite far away caught my eye.

“We have to split into two teams.”

“…Can we do it?”

Elena looked at me anxiously.

“It’s just about passing the time. In front of the checkpoints, all of them are huge bridges across the river.

The fact that more than 500 people were assigned to a small checkpoint means that each person’s skills are not high.”

“… What about the team?”

It’s a team…

First of all, where Elena is stuck, the force is inevitably low.

She wasn’t brought here expecting something like that from Elena in the first place.

Then…

“Elena, who can fly with Eris in her arms, flies to that mountain with Jinha and settles down first.”

In the first place, the team’s balance is weakened and they ask for support.

No matter how much the royal family has no troops to dispatch,

If reinforcements arrive while Sung Jin-ha and Elena hold out, it will be a success.

“Then what about grade and lie?”

And Grade and I,

Breaking the footsteps of the army without receiving support.

It will be quite difficult, but

If the grade is 1:1 against the named, and I deal with the majority, it’s worth it.

“We’ll go back the way we came. If we move to the shadows, we won’t be caught on CCTV.”

“… Ok.”

All of this happened because of the broken power balance after forming an alliance.

‘Even when I’m complacent, I’m too complacent.’

As a result of pouring talent into the guild, a neutral force, to deal with the gate,

At a time when the armed forces of each country have become ambiguous.

Suddenly, anti-government forces such as Dimension appear, and this division rises immediately.

Even in the case of Merveus, due to the recent civil war, they dispersed their armed forces even more thoroughly.

Now that I have reached this point,

I think I know why Merveus became the first target of Dimension.

“Shall we start right away?”

“Uh…Yes. Everyone should be careful.”

“I’m a little nervous… Jinha. Are you okay?”

“…Don’t worry.”

There is no time to complain.

In the afternoon, when the sun is starting to go down,

I had to go ahead and get ready before nightfall.

“…I need to go soon.”

“I’ll look for the location of the checkpoint.”

By the time we get back to the gate,

I started to hear the footsteps of many people in the distance.

Perhaps sooner or later they will gather to come over the gate after maintenance.

‘… I don’t know if Elena and Seongjin-ha went over well.’

About 500 humans armed with modern weapons.

The guild has about 500 C-class members…

“…It’s not a big deal when you think like this?”

I didn’t think it would be too bad to make an ambush while hiding here.

Even if it’s impossible to deal with all of them,

Because even if we succeeded in slowing down our advance and running away, it would be beneficial.

In that case, a surprise attack from Merhem’s side was more effective.

Anyway, I can’t use Leah’s power here.

**

-Ugh!

Go back to the barracks and cross the gate to Merhem.

-…Rye!! Careful…!

Right away, Leah, who was waiting in front of the gate, screamed.

I was startled by the sudden shout and tried to backtrack.

Chin.

I was blocked by something.

The moment I turned my head to check what was behind my back.

– A smirk.

Over my right shoulder,

Something that shouldn’t be there has been shown.

-Teouk.

“Brother…”

A slightly stiff pink hair touches the skin.

“…”

“I found it.”

As soon as you feel the hot breath coming into your ear,

In a situation where time seemed to stop, my head started spinning like crazy.

And the conclusion we reached…

‘It’s dead.’

Something happened,

I thought that something was going wrong.

“Rye…!”

Belatedly, Grade, who found the guy clinging to me behind me, takes out his dagger and listens, but…

“…Do not disturb.”

-Jeowoong!!

Pu-wook!

The girl flew deep into the forest in one volume.

“… Awesome!”

Just before hitting a tree,

I escaped being harmed by going into the shadows on the trunk.

-Sueuk.

For Grade, it was still impossible to deal with this guy.

“…Grade. Stay still.”

“Ahahahaha. Friends are very precious, don’t they?”

“What’s the matter?”

“Yonggeon…?”

I innocently tilt my head as if asking what that means,

If my life had been the purpose in the first place, I could have been ambushed from behind enough the moment I came out of the gate.

There,

Knowing I was here…

“It must have been on the way back from Reflecaine.”

-Ssik.

“Correct answer!”

Dimension executive.

The ‘Black Dragon’ Frederica was a hedonist to the point of being terrible.

Perhaps that’s what keeps me alive and not killing me now.

I wonder if my thoughts were right,

Fredrica gestured to me and started walking into the woods.

“…If you don’t follow me, my friend might die?”

I made eye contact with the eyes of a raptor twisted in madness.

‘… It might be better.’

If you got caught by another Dimension executive,

The situation could have gotten even worse by now.

But when it comes to Frederica…

While having such a glimmer of hope,

I had no choice but to follow Frederica deep into the woods.
