◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (116)

Time passed quickly like an arrow.

It’s already been three years since Ethan ascended to the throne.

During that time, Ethan devoted all his efforts to maintaining the stability of the turbulent kingdom and its people.

Is that why?

Now, three years later, the people’s lives, although not perfect, have become incomparably more stable than before.

Internally, things seemed to have stabilized, but external events were still dizzying and confusing.

“So where should we send our troops first now?”

Although he looked a bit thinner than three years ago, his intelligent eyes were still there.

Ethan held regular meetings with the kingdom’s governing ministers.

Over the past three years, there have been many changes, not only among the elders of the elders, but also among the military leaders.

It took quite some time to get rid of the bad ones and fill them with new people.

In response to Ethan’s question, one of the military elders, Derockidian, spoke.

He had a fairly large physique, but his eyes were sharp and slitted, unlike his physique.

He looked at Ethan and said.

“As of now, the entire region, from Bieltona in the northwest to the northeast, is in danger. Fortunately, Bieltona has fewer invading tribes due to the Porhen Valley being blocked, but you can consider the entire northeast region centered around Bieltona to be in danger.”

One of the reasons is that he has been focusing on internal stability within the kingdom and has not been able to pay much attention to the outside world.

Of course, if you compare the pros and cons, the pros are incomparably greater, but that doesn’t mean there are no cons.

Ethan looked at the elders present and asked.

“What about Halvoint? I heard that the thugs have been showing up again recently.”

A middle-aged elder with bald head answered him.

“It’s been quiet for the past three years because we’ve been doing internal maintenance, but I hear that some of the guys who were kicked out are showing up every now and then because of internal issues.”

“Well… what about the damage?”

“They say there were no major casualties, but the newly renovated walls collapsed in this attack, making the next attack dangerous.”

“Then we need to repair the wall quickly, or we need soldiers to guard it until it is repaired?”

“Don’t worry about that, Your Majesty.”

Then Saila intervened.

As Ethan looked at Seila, Seila continued.

“We recently sent new reinforcements to Halvont.”

The elder who had spoken slightly frowned at Seyla’s blunt answer.

“How many troops did you send to be so confident, Count Ceyla?”

“A thousand people.”

“under?”

He looked dumbfounded at Seyla’s words.

Are you saying that your opinion was ignored by a mere thousand support troops?

His face flushed. But Cela spoke as if she could read his thoughts.

“You don’t have to worry about numbers. We sent the best of the best.”

“Let’s hear the names of the elite units among the elite. How fiercely did Halvoint fight, and with only a thousand men…….”

“This is the Arrowhead Unit.”

* * *

Phew-!

The spear extended straight out and pierced the chest warrior’s neck exactly below.

The savage warrior fell backwards, his life cut short by the clean attack.

At that moment,

“Florent, watch your back!”

At the words of one of the soldiers, Florent, who was holding a spear, quickly bowed and lowered his posture.

Boohoo-!

A thick axe swung over Florent’s head, chopping through the air.

The leader of the failed attacking faction looked at Florent with a frown.

“Hey, you bastard-!”

He avoided the attack by crouching, but Florent’s gaze did not leave the vicious leader.

“This is not the place for you guys.”

“Die!”

He raised the axe high and swung it again at Florent.

It was an axe that was swung with the intention of splitting the spearhead in one stroke, but crunch-!

For a moment, a faint light flashed from Florent’s window, and in an instant, the head of the evil chieftain soared into the sky along with the blade of an axe.

Puaaaaaaak-!

His headless body staggered, spraying blood like a fountain, and soon fell powerlessly to the floor.

And at that moment when they lost their leader, the remaining Hulk warriors began to flinch and take steps back.

The one the guy just used when the thug leader died.

“Oh, it’s an Auror user!”

“Retreat! Run away!”

The aura was manifested, albeit only for a moment.

And at that sight, the monsters began to run away without looking back.

How can you win against a guy who uses Aura?

Florent raised his spear and spoke as he watched the fleeing bandits.

“Kill them all, don’t leave a single one behind!”

“”yes-!””

At Florent’s words, dozens of Arrowhead troops began to storm the battlefield, chasing after the thugs.

* * *

“Hmm…….”

Even though it was late at night, the lamps inside the barracks were not turned off.

It’s already been three months since I came here as a support unit.

We managed to reclaim Halvoint, which was almost captured, and push the guys back.

But contrary to expectations that the war would end completely soon, time was running out.

Druk.

At that moment, someone came inside, pulling back the curtain at the entrance to the barracks.

It was a man with an eye patch over one eye.

“Captain Barus.”

“Are you still awake, Captain?”

Varus entered the barracks and sat down in front of Captain Arrowhead.

Raymond.

It’s already been three years since he took over as the Arrowhead Commander.

In the meantime, the Arrowhead unit has become much stronger than before, and there are now a few members who can wield Auror, albeit in a very minor way.

Raymond turned his gaze from the map he was looking at to Varus.

“I can’t sleep.”

“Well, it’s getting longer than I thought.”

“……Phew.”

Raymond let out a small sigh at Varus’ words.

I thought I would be back in Kurtain by now, but there was a huge variable.

Varus said.

“There is no easy way to capture the enemy commander.”

“yes.”

There is only one reason why the battle in Halvoint is dragging on right now.

That’s because we failed to take down the enemy commander.

In every battle, big and small, they were winning. However, they were losing every time the enemy commander indirectly intervened.

The reason was very simple.

“……A high-level Aura user.”

This is because the enemy’s horde commander was a high-level Aura user.

Although there are those within the Arrowhead Unit who can handle Auras, there is no one who can fight head-on against a high-level Aura user.

Moreover, even though they were losing most of the battles, they completely disappeared at crucial moments.

Because of this, although Seung-gi had completely seized power, he was unable to completely drive them out.

“So they’re saying they’re sending reinforcements from above again.”

“Even if reinforcements come, it won’t mean much. Unless there’s someone who can definitely kill that monster.”

“They say they’ll send that ‘person’.”

“……yes?”

Raymond shook his head at Varus’ question.

“Actually, I don’t know either. But I think they’ll take action since I’ve clearly conveyed the situation here.”

Raymond’s face was still filled with worry.

All you need is someone who can deal with the opposing commander, who is a high-level Aura user, but that isn’t easy.

Is that why?

Today, more than ever, I’m thinking of those guys’ faces.

As the night deepened, Raymond was talking with Varus about the battlefield.

* * *

Puuuuuuuuuuuu-!

As the sound of the horn signaling battle spread, Janiel, who was on his horse, looked at the barbarians ahead.

“What kind of undead are those? Why do they keep appearing no matter how many times I kill them?”

“That must mean the number is huge.”

The answer was Theron, who was next to him.

He looked down from a hill with a clear view of the battlefield and strengthened his resolve.

Because today, we absolutely must kill the enemy commander.

As Theron clenched his fist, Elina suddenly came up to him.

“Relax. Are you sure you can fight properly with all that tension in your body?”

“Don’t be nervous. I saved you from death last time. Don’t you remember?”

“Shouldn’t you quickly erase those useless memories?”

Janiel just burst into laughter at the sight of Teronga Elina grumbling.

And soon after, Varus slowly approached them from behind.

Everyone looked at Varus, who had been serving as the ‘temporary’ cavalry captain for the past three years, with a tense expression on his face.

Varus glanced at the horde of thugs visible below the hill and spoke quietly.

“I think there were several opportunities to end this war.”

The atmosphere becomes calm at Barus’s words.

“But it was a series of battles that left deep regrets. However, I do not blame you. If there is anyone lacking in our unit, it is me.”

“”no!””

The men in the unit loudly responded to Varus’ words. They were not saying this for him.

In reality, even though Varus’s personal fighting prowess may be a bit lacking, his insight to quickly grasp the situation and strike at the enemy’s weak points was amazing.

But despite that, the opponent was extremely strong.

However, Varus himself considered it his own shortcomings that he had not yet captured the enemy commander, despite commanding a cavalry force comprised of elites from the Silver Knights.

Of course, it may be that such humility made all the cavalrymen fight more diligently.

At their answer, Varus forced a smile. Then, looking at the thugs with one sharp eye, he said:

“Today, we must definitely end this battle.”

“”yes-!””

The cavalrymen responded loudly to Varus’ words.

Now, it seemed as if the evil tribesmen had nowhere else to retreat and were ready to fight head-on.

The only variable was that their remaining forces were much larger than expected.

‘In numbers… … they’re almost on par.’

Even after so many victories in small battles, we are still at an even level in numbers.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo-!

But it doesn’t matter.

Because I just need to win this battle for sure.

Varus began to check the timing by watching the soldiers moving on the plain.

The moment the thugs completely broke away from their formation, I planned to run straight to where the commander was, striking the guys’ side.

And the sound of battle rang out.

Puuuuuuuuuuuu-!

The first to move were the cavalry units.

Even at a glance, the number is at least over three thousand.

As a large swarm of horde warriors began to pour towards the friendly formation, friendly troops also began to move towards them, raising their shields.

It looked like sharp spears and strong shields clashing, and as expected, the battle began to get fierce.

Boom! Boom!

“Kkaaaaaaah!”

“Kill me!”

The sound of clashing weapons, someone’s scream, and even an evil cry. The heat of the battlefield began to rise.

Even in that situation, Varus was looking at the enemy commander calmly.

And soon after, the enemy commander began to rush into the battlefield carrying a huge axe.

Timing faster than expected.

You could tell that they were risking their lives in this battle.

But this side also wants an end.

Varus looked at the men next to him.

Even though his absence is huge, I still can’t help but look bad.

“Cavalry, sortie!”

With Varus’ shout, a hundred or so cavalrymen began to charge towards the Hulks.
