Black Badger - Chapter 392

392. Visitor (1)

Even if you didn’t grow up in a temple, it was a song that every citizen of the empire heard from a young age.

It is also the first hymn I learned.

A song that can be sung as a duet, a trio, or even alone.

When double glazing, the alto starts first.

He recited the lyrics slowly.

“Holy Branch.”

It wasn’t a difficult song to memorize.

“Praise be to you, O Almighty Tree.

Praise be to you.

The thin veins of the leaves praise you under your shade.

I praise you under your golden blessings.

Holy Branch.

O mighty tree, look down upon the most tender veins of your leaves.

The lowly leaves praise you under your blessings.

I praise you under your dazzling grace.

“Tree of the World… .”

Lyrics composed of ancient language among the imperial languages.

Before I knew it, Deltey’s round voice was singing along with the lyrics.

Divine power works in mysterious ways.

I watched the large insects grow increasingly stiff as I sang with my sword in my hand.

One of the few types of monsters that survived the pollution.

“Please look down on your tender branches… .”

As soon as I confirmed that it had stopped, I stopped singing.

As soon as I finished singing, I felt the surroundings become a little quieter.

Igor, who was watching from behind while she sang, smiled brightly.

“You still sing well.”

“thanks.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard you sing.”

Kairos also smiled softly and said a word.

“Every time you went out as a representative of the knights and sang, you received rave reviews. It’s a memory. You still sing well.”

“Chief…! Chief…!! Chief…, Chief…!”

“Calm down, kid.”

“Well. How many knights have received early education in the hymn? Let alone the song of the Knight Commander… Even the Archangel was always satisfied.”

“You have to breathe and send it far away.”

Unlike his other subordinates, Deltey was not easygoing.

I deliberately pretended not to hear what she said.

Regardless, the saintess of detection kept nagging at her.

“It’s a prayer chant. And the ending of “praise” should be drawn out longer. Don’t lose strength too abruptly in the last verse.”

“You always nag me whenever I sing.”

I swung my sword and cut down the creatures coming from the south.

I deliberately avoided looking toward the trenches.

“It’s been a while, so please cut me some slack.”

“That’s because you learned how to sing! You can do better!”

“Now let’s close them one by one.”

Ignoring Deltey’s nagging, I spoke to the men standing around me.

The creatures rushing in from the east were slowed down by the stopped objects.

I should take advantage of this gap to divide up my subordinates.

I turned my head, thinking it would be easier to cover the space movement from the west and north.

“hmm?”

And then he finds his seniors with astonished expressions.

These men, who were almost out of bullets, were preparing for close combat.

They were looking at me with wide eyes from inside the trench.

“…Why are you doing that?”

He asked in a trembling voice.

Were you surprised when a swarm of creatures suddenly started singing?

It was likely. It wasn’t a song that would boost morale. I guess they must have wondered what was going on when they suddenly sang a duet of a random hymn.

You must have thought it was a sudden change.

I smiled awkwardly as I swung my sword and cut the rushing monster in half.

“I’m sorry. Surprisingly, there are cases where a song-based chant works.”

If the pitch is off, the effect is halved.

Fortunately, even though it had been a long time since I sang, my pitch did not waver.

“It’s not much, it’s just a hymn.”

The astonished gaze did not go away, so I added more words for no reason.

It wasn’t a musical or an Indian film. I also felt that I had done something amazing to watch.

But thanks to you I was able to stop a tricky monster, so I hope you’ll just ignore it.

Even so, I felt embarrassed because even my shooter was blinking at me.

I felt uneasy when I saw Jonathan holding Ricardo, who showed no sign of waking up.

I need to sort this out quickly.

The situation is so urgent, so please just give it a go… .

“You sing well.”

Someone commented.

Surprisingly, the owner of the voice was Chen Koenig.

“What’s wrong with you? Were you a choir member?”

Your complexion really doesn’t look good.

I nodded my head vaguely, worried.

“yes.”

I split a rapidly descending flying creature in half, cutting my neck in half.

“Until puberty comes.”

“Oh? It suits you well.”

“Are you a Christian?”

Someone asked.

It was a bit absurd, but I answered honestly.

“no.”

“Then what?”

“Uh… It’s a different religion.”

“Roman Catholicism?”

“no….”

“Hmm? Then Islam?”

“no.”

“Then what the heck….”

Kwaaaaang!

A crash interrupted the conversation.

People’s heads turned to the east.

I also saw the source of the sound right away. The crash sound came from the headquarters building. To be exact, it came from the medical building further east than the headquarters building.

A faint smoke rises from the bottom of the medical building.

A herd of pigs was dying inside the collapsed gate of the medical ward.

A view seen between two-story-high bean worms.

“Scar!”

Ye-Hyeon urgently asked if there were any civilians left.

There won’t be any. We’ve searched thoroughly.

You may be worried about the building collapsing… .

Are pigs the type of monsters that act in groups like that?

The monsters that the Badgers called ‘pigs’ were not easy to work on several at the same time.

There are some monsters that are not difficult to work with individually, but are difficult to work with in groups, and that was one of them.

A monster that never acts in groups… .

“What the fuck! The building is going to collapse!”

Boom! Kwaang!

A herd of pigs kept appearing and throwing themselves into the hospital building.

Boom! Boom! Kwung!

“Have we gone crazy as a group?”

“It’s scary because I don’t think he’s crazy.”

Someone sighed and said,

“No matter how you look at it, it’s a movement with intention.”

right.

Someone was doing the work in a group.

I turned my body to the east and changed the direction of the sword.

Our kind have arrived.

I had to be conscious of the corners of my mouth that were about to go up and lower them.

A smile that adrenaline creates on its own.

If the opposing missionary is not caught by the sixth sense, it must mean that he is under a spell or that a wizard is also present.

In order not to miss the opportunity… .

“What is that?”

The seniors’ panicked voices were heard.

“Why are you guys acting like that all of a sudden?”

The monsters lined up.

I watched the horde of beasts forming battle formation, laughing hysterically.

Next to a herd of pigs rushing into the hospital ward.

As the hardened insects were cleared away, heavy, spear-wielding ape-like creatures appeared.

The sound of turrets firing at a herd of pigs is mixed with the heavy sound of footsteps.

There were dozens of them approaching, but it sounded like just one person making footsteps.

A formula that fits unrealistically well.

I knew what those monsters were called by the Badgers.

A concise and intuitive name.

Uruk-hai.

“Those guys aren’t moving around in a group either.”

Someone muttered quietly.

“Isn’t it a creature that values ​​its territory like a tiger?”

yes.

In the Empire, as it was otherwise called, it never swarmed.

Moreover, it was a monster that was not easy to fully employ just one. It was difficult to employ several of them and push them forward.

A skill that no ordinary minister can imitate.

“Hahahaha!”

Kairos burst into laughter.

“That kid from back then!”

Igor and You gave each other tired looks.

I wasn’t surprised though.

Kwaaang!

Instead, he pushed away the goats pouring in from the south with his sword and then looked at the missionary blankly.

The pupils of the orange eyes were greatly dilated.

Kairos made no effort to hide his adrenaline-fueled smile.

A body leaning towards the ranks of Uruk-hai.

“It’s time for someone with talent to show up.”

The missionary was genuinely delighted.

“You are the one who noticed my interference in ministry.”

Did you use the ministry interference?

when?

“What a dazzling talent.”

Kuung!

A water dragon suddenly rose from under the ground to the left of Kairos.

A poisonous bird descends on the right hand that has never missed a win.

A poisonous bird with large purple wings that covers the face of the one who served me.

The water dragon that rose up through the ground gently wrapped itself around the body of the messenger.

The screams of the seniors would not have been heard by Kairos.

Kairos laughed.

“Let’s have fun together.”

Adrenaline junkie bastard… .

“I missed you so much.”

Kwakwaang!

The water dragon swiftly slashed through the middle of the Uruk-hai ranks.

A herd of Uruk-hai rushing at a water dragon, letting out threatening cries.

The poisonous bird flew over the ranks and sprayed poisonous smoke.

Kraaaaak!

“Who’s here?”

Deltey’s quiet voice was heard.

“History? Who? Who of the Empire?”

It must be a newborn baby.

After hearing Kairos’s words and roughly guessing the situation, I let out a sigh.

And the eastern demons decided to leave it to the servants. They wouldn’t like it if you tried to help them.

Let them run wild.

I glanced over the situation on the battlefield and continued giving instructions in a tired voice.

“Igor. I’m cutting down anything that comes near the trenches.”

“As ordered.”

“You. Rose.”

“yes.”

“yes!”

“Go to the open space portals to the west and north. Rose, receive a bomb to close the space portal from Youhan. When you find it, throw it towards the space portal to cover it.”

The intention was to slightly reduce the number of monsters coming in from the west and north.

Those pouring in from the east will be held back by Kairos for a while.

The south is the problem.

The medical building, science building, and headquarters building located to the east are worrisome, but since there are buildings, each floor is equipped with a turret, so they provide some degree of defense.

Inside the headquarters, Skagar Martin will be busy recharging the turret’s ammunition.

But the south side where the main gate was located was literally a wasteland.

There is nothing that can stop the advance of the monsters that have risen from the southern moving area.

So I have to push south and close the southern space movement.

That was the moment I thought so.

pop!

There was a sound like something bursting.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

“Turret!”

A civilian in a trench screamed.

“Turret! Turret!!”

The turrets were exploding like firecrackers.

It was placed on each floor of the headquarters.

It oxidized in sequence, making a bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! sound.

It exploded one by one from the second floor up.

I let out a hollow laugh as I unleashed a sword strike that swept away the monsters rushing in from the south.

What a loud appearance.

No. It didn’t appear though… .

“Scar?”

Ye-Hyeon’s quiet voice was heard.

“Ska? Are you okay?”

I didn’t hear an answer.

But you don’t have to worry too much since Yehyun didn’t call Scar’s name again.

Instead, I heard You and Deltey snoring. Igor clicking his tongue. Rose’s small mutter of ‘Oh, my.’

The seniors also muttered, “Are there any invisible monsters?”

As I listened to those things, I watched as all the turrets on the building exploded.

I guess we’ll have to put off closing the Southern Space Movement for a while.

The opponent has arrived.

“Igor.”

I called out to him with my eyes fixed on the headquarters, and Igor walked towards where I was.

“You want me to take charge of the south?”

The skilled sword expert smiled at me.

“Don’t worry. I’ll keep pushing.”

“You. Rose. Don’t worry about it and do your job.”

“yes!”

“…yes.”

Unlike Rose, You answered reluctantly.

He was a little distant near me.

Then, before leaving for the west, he said:

“Be careful. You can never let your guard down.”

“Myrobald?”

I looked up at the building and smiled faintly.

“There’s no way I could let my guard down. He’s a great wizard.”

There are five Swordmasters in the Empire. Five outside the Empire.

There are nine archmages in the Empire and one outside the Empire.

Of the ten archmages, six died while performing dimensional movement.

One in ten people went missing while opening a dimensional portal.

It is said that one outside the empire died of old age.

The remaining two were brought to Earth in a state of mana feedback, and did not awaken until the end of the First War.

One of them is here now.

Myerbold.

The wizard of flame.

“Meet the Archmage.”

He greeted me with his sword in his hand.

“I didn’t know you’d wake up.”

“Hildebert.”

Only the answer came back.

“The traitorous knight commander.”
