◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (104)

Thud-thud-thud.

With every step he takes, the armor he is wearing creaks.

Raymond glanced back at the long line of soldiers.

I am just grateful that everyone is following along without showing any sign of difficulty even though it is a very difficult situation.

“How long has it been since you came?”

“I think we’re about halfway there.”

“Half…….”

At Brian’s answer, Raymond immediately raised his fist and stopped the unit.

I’ve been walking for two days now without any proper rest.

‘Assassination… … ‘

An attack on Seyla by Prince Byron a few days ago.

It was unexpected that they would attack using a group of assassins who were hiding in the shadows.

No matter how important a cause is, there are things that must not be done.

“If we get to this location, I think we’ll probably encounter enemies.”

“But if they pass the Tadial, no matter how fast they go, they will be late.”

Holun, who had come closer, spoke to Raymond.

The troops belonging to the Third Prince’s side were moving towards the capital in a hurry, but no matter how fast they moved, time was running out.

‘I never thought they would target the palace… … .’

It is reprehensible to just join hands with assassins, but to advance straight to the palace.

Even though the king was dead, what Byron was doing now was virtually treason.

Of course, all of this was the responsibility of the king who had not clearly designated a successor, but it was also meant to be a fair competition to secure one’s position.

The elders who were neutral were also watching the fight between Byron and Ethan and waiting for the outcome.

‘It’s gone too far.’

But Byron ignored all that and chose the quickest route.

Since there were more elders and soldiers on his side anyway, he planned to occupy the royal palace and purge all the powerful figures of the opposing faction.

If that’s the case, then the rest can be adjusted by throwing out carrots appropriately.

That’s why Raymond’s heart couldn’t help but burn.

If we don’t stop them, everything will go down the drain before it even starts.

That’s when the guy popped into Raymond’s head.

‘… Where is the Arrowhead unit moving to?’

The Arrowhead unit, which received independent operational authority from Seyla, moves according to Lian’s intentions.

In retrospect, Lian and the Arrowhead unit found a way out of an absurd crisis.

Maybe this time we can turn this crisis around… …?

Sigh.

“Why are you doing that?”

Brian asked, looking at Raymond, who suddenly smiled with the corners of his lips raised.

Raymond shook his head.

“No, even I think it’s such an absurd wish.”

“……yes?”

“Let’s rest as much as we can while we can. We’ll have to leave again in an hour.”

Why does he come to mind in situations like this?

Raymond closed his eyes, trying to think.

Shouldn’t the priority now be to do your best at what you can do?

Under the star-filled night sky, Eagle Company was doing the best they could.

“That’s quite a quick move.”

A letter was arriving from the Watcher who had been attached to Prince Ethan.

Their main force is said to be moving quickly towards the capital.

‘Have you figured out the intention?’

Marquis Dwayne’s eyes narrowed as he received the report.

Unless some information is leaked, there’s no way they could move in such a hurry.

“One, it doesn’t matter.”

Although the first operation was a failure, it did not affect the overall situation.

It just got a little annoying after I took over the palace.

However, the moment he takes over the palace and strikes down the opposition elders, Prince Ethan’s power will inevitably be weakened.

In any politics, there must be a good balance of power inside and outside.

Even if the military is overwhelmingly strong, isn’t it weaker than them?

Besides, if you take over the palace, you can just defend it from that moment on using the capital as a base.

“Still, it would be better to block variables completely.”

Dwayne muttered and looked at the man in front of him.

A man wearing a deep gray robe.

The murderous intent flowing from his two eyes alone had such an intense power that it made his heart stop.

Master-level warlock, Kaen.

Dwayne said with a smirk, oblivious to the man’s murderous gaze.

“You must become the cornerstone of a new kingdom.”

“Kuuuuuuuu, the cornerstone for a new kingdom? To my ears, it sounds like you’re just going to use it as a shield and throw it away.”

Caen grumbled at Dwayne’s words. Dwayne shrugged at Caen’s words.

“That depends on your abilities. Whether it will be used as a shield and then discarded… or whether it will be used for a long time as a secret blade for the leader of the new kingdom.”

“Seeing you speak so bluntly and with such a straight tongue, I think it’s time for you to die.”

Sigh.

“You can kill me, even right now. But……”

Swish.

Dwayne took something out of his bosom.

It was a small, golden bead that sparkled, and Kaen’s expression distorted when he saw it.

Dwayne said with a laugh.

“Hehehe, don’t you need this?”

Ugh.

In that moment, an incredible amount of murderous energy gushed out from Kaen’s body.

The black light rippling around his body was so intense that even Dwayne took a step back for a moment.

Dwayne said urgently.

“Yes, have you forgotten that I am the only one who can suppress the filthy power flowing within you?!”

It was a tremendous amount of pressure, even if it was only for a moment, to the point where it took my breath away.

The explosive murderous intent at Dwayne’s shouting slightly subsided.

Within a moment, Caen slowly walked towards Dwayne.

Dwayne flinched and took a step back, but Kaen approached him without hesitation and put his face right in front of Dwayne’s nose.

Suaaaaaaah-.

An eerie feeling, as if looking into the eyes of a demon rather than a human being.

Kaen slowly reached out and picked up the divine ring that Dwayne was holding.

And then she looked straight at him and spoke softly.

“You should know this. The day I find that method… will be the most painful death you’ve ever seen in your life.”

Gulp.

And Kaen, who had swallowed Shinsunghwan, stepped back. At that, Dwayne tried to raise the corners of his lips and said.

“Huh, huhu. Don’t wait. Then, until that day comes… you will have to obey my orders, right?”

At Dwayne’s words, Kaen just left his room with a cold expression.

Lian, who was moving quickly up the hill, saw the mansion below.

This is where Count Bansern’s family was being held hostage.

Most people don’t even know that this mansion exists, as it is covered in thick fog 365 days a year and is surrounded by high hills.

‘This is… … .’

It was a place where Marquis Dwayne secretly carried out important work.

Most of the time, it was used to plot dirty plots or to kidnap and imprison people in this way.

Woohoo-.

Lian drew up his magical power and poured it into the ring.

As his senses became more active, Lian immediately focused his magic into his eyes.

Through the thick fog, you can vaguely see the guards moving about.

‘You haven’t moved yet?’

Or maybe you had no intention of moving?

Lian’s expression hardened at the sight of the border guard.

But I thought that would at least bring the tilted balance back to the middle… … .

‘Was my expectation too high… … .’

I don’t mean to blame him, but I felt a bit bitter for no reason.

In this situation, we cannot avoid fighting here.

“Phew…….”

Lian took a small breath and stepped back.

‘If it drags on for too long, the kidnapped people could get seriously injured.’

There are some Arrowhead troops nearby, but we can’t take them all out to attack.

If we do that, we will definitely be able to subdue them all, but we may not be able to save Count Bansern’s family.

Of course, if they die, it might backfire on Byron.

Because they killed the families of the royal family who were neutral.

‘Absolutely not.’

But Lian had no intention of profiting from the lives of those who did not matter to him.

Even if it is a war that determines a very important situation.

Your best option is to sneak in with the quick and stealthy guys from Arrowhead.

Lian immediately turned around. At that moment,

“What are you doing like a thief in the middle of the night?”

“100 million……!”

Lian quickly covered her mouth with one hand.

Because I was so surprised that I couldn’t stop myself from screaming out loud.

My heart honestly almost burst.

‘Wh, what is that sound…?’

Lian looked at the man in front of her with surprised rabbit eyes.

Duke of Gaiel Pitt.

He looked relaxed, as if he had just gone for a walk, but soon he burst into laughter at the sight of Lian.

“You’re a noisy kid. Come this way.”

And going a little further away with him, there was a middle-aged woman and a girl a little younger than Lian.

At first glance, it was Countess Bansern and Youngae.

Gaiel said to Lian.

“You don’t trust me?”

“I apologize if I offended you. But… it was important, so I had to see it with my own eyes.”

“Kekekekeke, you’re a cheeky guy. But you should know how to say no in front of others.”

“I thought about that too, but it seemed like such an obvious lie, so I answered honestly.”

Gaiel let out a low laugh at Lian’s words.

“Then you are responsible for these two people.”

“I will take care of all three of you. Come with me.”

Gaiel shook his head at Lian’s words.

“I have something else to do. Please leave these two to me.”

After saying that, Gaiel immediately turned around and walked away.

And looking at the remaining two, Lian bowed her head politely and said.

“I am Captain Lian, the deputy commander of the Arrowhead Unit of the 6th Corps. As of now, I will be escorting you both to safety.”

“thank you.”

“Oh, thank you. But is the Count okay?”

Lian nodded at the countess’ question.

“Don’t worry. He will never make a wrong choice because of you two.”

“……Thank you.”

After the Countess’s answer, Lian took the two of them to the nearby Arrowhead Unit.

Lian immediately called Brandt.

“Brant, you take the two of them to Repel immediately.”

Repel is one of the territories belonging to the 6th Army Corps.

It was quite far from where the battle would take place, and it was within Seyla’s sphere of influence, so it could be considered a relatively safe place.

Brant nodded at Lian’s words.

“All right.”

“We must keep it safe until the war is over.”

“yes!”

With those words, Brandt led his platoon-sized men and quickly began to leave the area.

Although I am somewhat disappointed that I cannot participate in the upcoming battles, I also know that this is an important matter.

That’s why there was no hesitation in Brandt’s movements.

“……Phew.”

As soon as Brandt left, Lian let out a small breath and looked at her men.

The Arrowhead unit is not yet a complete unit.

Isn’t this the first battle for most of the people here as Arrowheads?

“Everyone may be afraid, or they may be expecting something.”

Just a barren plain with only the moon floating in the sky.

In the middle of it all, Lian looked at his men and spoke softly.

Although his voice was small, it was filled with magical power and was clearly conveyed to the ears of the six hundred soldiers.

As Lian spoke, the expressions of the unit members watching him became serious.

“People with different goals have come together as one unit, so there may be some confusion. However, the purpose of our gathering here is the same.”

Swish.

Lian stretched out her index finger and pointed towards the sky.

“For a better tomorrow, and to reach higher.”

Those who were just lowly soldiers with no meaning.

Those who had to fight to protect themselves in hell day after day.

And those who grew up in a greenhouse but wanted to be confined to their own limitations.

What they all wanted was the same.

Lian said.

“If we win this fight, we will move one step further than we are now.”

And Lian picked up the bow he was holding in his right hand.

“When the war is over, the Arrowhead Unit will be at the forefront and we will achieve the most brilliant victory.”

There was no cheering.

However, everyone’s eyes were burning hotter than ever.

That’s how much Lian’s words created a spark deep in their hearts.

At that sight, Lian got on his horse and looked somewhere.

The place I need to go right now is… … .

Within seconds, the Arrowhead force began to move quickly.
