◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (118)

It was just a common stone, but it was a different story when it was in his hands.

Shaeeeeek-!

Lian saw the flying rocks and immediately kicked off the ground and jumped into the air.

Kwarrung-!

The rock wall behind Lian collapsed completely, causing the ground to shake violently.

Muyeong clicked his tongue as he watched Lian jump into the air.

“The public told me to only choose when I really had no choice.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay in this situation?”

“……hmm?”

As Muyeong tilted his head, a green magic circle suddenly began to form on the floor where he was standing. And at that very moment, Kkaaaaaaaaaang-!

Mooyoung jumped up, kicking the ground in a hurry as dozens of green arrows burst out through the floor.

Ting ting ting!

Muyeong, who blocked the attack with a self-defense weapon he had made in an instant, turned his gaze to look at Lian.

The corners of Muyeong’s mouth went up as he looked at his disciple who was now pulling a rope toward him.

“This kid…….”

“I don’t have the luxury of looking after you.”

Although he was speaking in a sarcastic tone, Lian’s eyes were more serious than ever.

No, whenever I was sparring with Muyeong, I had no choice but to be serious.

Because the sparring with him was on a level higher than the ‘real-life’ fights elsewhere.

Jiiiiiiiiiiiing-!

The magical power condensed into the tip of Lian’s arrow, releasing an even sharper momentum.

It’s not as wide-ranging as the attack just now, but since it focuses its power on a single arrow, it’s bound to be more destructive.

The corners of Muyeong’s mouth slightly went up at that sight.

“It’s pretty good.”

At the same time, he stretched out his left hand. And at that moment, the space in front of him shimmered, and a black bow was held in Muyeong’s hand.

He took out his bow that was in subspace.

At that sight, Lian’s eyes shook greatly.

“T, Master, this is against the rules!”

“Keep on going, what’s the big deal? The archer took out his bow and even fouled.”

“profit-!”

Lian bit her lip and let go of the protest she had been holding.

Phew!

At that moment, Lian’s arrow shot out towards Muyeong with tremendous momentum.

It was a tremendous destructive force, like a typhoon was coming,

“……No spirit city.”

A formless black arrow flashed at the empty protest that Muyeong had pulled. And then, bang-!

A black hole-like energy suddenly stretched out towards Lian’s arrow.

Gurrung-! Gurrururung!

The moment the two arrows collide, space distorts and the surrounding magical power begins to fluctuate.

Lian’s expression hardened under the overwhelming pressure and she turned to Muyeong.

And Muyeong was looking at Lian with a strange smile that was hard to read.

widely!

Both people landed on the floor at the same time,

“Cough!”

Lian, who had come down to the floor, knelt on one knee and vomited a handful of blood.

Because the pressure of collapsing and twisting sensations were pressing down on my whole body.

Swish.

Lian wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, got up from her seat, and looked at Muyeong.

“Are you planning to kill your only disciple?”

“Who said that I am your only disciple?”

“……Then do you have any more disciples?”

“Click click click click.”

At Lian’s words, Muyeong let out a small laugh and threw the arrow he was holding into the air.

Soon, the space began to shake, and Muyeong’s subspace opened its mouth and swallowed the arrow.

“Stop talking nonsense and just greet the guests.”

“……yes.”

At Muyeong’s words, Lian tried to suppress the throbbing pain in her chest and started walking.

Because I already knew he was coming to the area.

Lian saw a man hiding behind a large rock.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Bacon.”

“Haha, you guys are still on good terms. I almost got swept away.”

“……If things get a little better, you’ll probably see my dead body next time.”

Bacon shrugged at Lian’s words. Then he took a letter out of his pocket and handed it to Lian.

“This is a letter from Gaiel.”

“……Thank you every time.”

“No, I also use my mission as an excuse to see such a beautiful scenery.”

Bacon turned and looked down the mountain.

Today, the mountainside was covered in thick fog, making me feel like I was above the clouds.

At that sight, Lian said.

“To borrow the Master’s expression, it’s as if I’ve become a god.”

“Fresh? What is that?”

“Well, if we look at it from our perspective, it means something like transcendence, but it’s a little different.”

“It’s difficult.”

Lian simply smiled at Bacon’s words.

After completing his mission, Bacon went down the mountain. Then, Lian headed to Muyeong with the letter from Gaiel.

“Master, this is a letter for Duke Gaiel.”

“I thought you were gone for a while, but it looks like you’re still alive.”

Muyeong opened the letter that Lian had handed him and read it straight away. After reading the letter silently, Muyeong immediately handed the letter to Lian.

“Read it.”

“……yes?”

I’ve had several letters from Gaiel so far, but I’ve never shown them to him.

Lian read the letter Muyeong handed her with a puzzled expression.

“……This is.”

The contents of the letter were not detailed, but it gave a general idea of ​​the current state of the kingdom.

The efforts made so far have stabilized the internal structure of the kingdom, and the contents have been related to diplomacy between external enemies and other kingdoms to the east and west.

And accordingly, even within the kingdom, they are now trying to show movement toward expansion outward, not just strengthening internal stability.

After reading the letter to the end, Lian looked at Muyeong.

“Master.”

“Hehe, hehe, has it been about three years since you came here?”

To be exact, it’s been about 3 years and 4 months.

“good.”

“……Can’t we go together?”

“Nonsense. How can you breathe properly in such a crowded place?”

Muyeong got up from his seat and took out a necklace from the subspace.

It was a rough decoration with a dark color, and at first glance it looked like a water drop shape.

Muyeong threw the necklace to Lian.

“Take it. It’s nothing special, but it might be useful to you right now.”

“What is this used for?”

“You’ll know if you go and try it. Why do you keep asking questions?”

At those words, Lian smiled bitterly.

This is because we have developed a lot of affection for each other while spending time together.

As Lian stood there dumbfounded, Muyeong snickered and said.

“I don’t think you’ll go anywhere and burst, but always be humble and humble again. There are countless strong people in the world.”

“I will always keep the teachings that my teacher gave me in my heart.”

“Knock knock knock, get out of here.”

With those words, Muyeong turned around and walked away. Then, Lian, who bowed deeply while looking at his back, turned around in the opposite direction.

Now let’s go back again.

Back to where it was.

As Lian left, she felt sorry for Muyeong, but she continued to quickly descend the mountain without stopping.

The Artian Kingdom controlled the central region of the continent, but it was not a very advantageous location in terms of strategic terrain.

To the north, in the land of the barbarians, which was two-thirds of the size of the entire kingdom, there were as many barbarians as there were people of the kingdom, eyeing the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Also, to the west, the Kingdom of Meladion was close by, and to the east, the Kingdom of Baroque, the strongest on the continent, was still holding its ground.

It was a very unfavorable terrain as it was a sandwich shape with two enemy countries on either side, but it was somehow able to hold out until the previous king was there.

This is because the person Byron married was the daughter of Duke Heron of the Kingdom of Meladion in the west.

Thanks to this, the two kingdoms were able to maintain an alliance with each other, and as a result, the Artian Kingdom only had to block the attacks of the Baroque Kingdom located to the east.

That is why, from the moment Byron died and Ethan ascended to the throne, relations with the Kingdom of Meladion were bound to become strained.

During that time, we had been strengthening our internal structure by suppressing war through diplomacy, but now that three years had passed, there was no more room to relax.

The Kingdom of Meladion had no reason to care about the Kingdom of Artian any longer, and had no intention of doing so.

And somewhere, a heated debate was taking place about that situation.

“Who is leading the army at the border of Meladion right now?”

Tilburt, in the southern part of Artyia, was an unremarkable city, except for its proximity to the capital.

Even in such a city, Tilburt had a special institution to boast about, which was the Aperium Academy.

It may not be one of the three major academies of the Artian Kingdom, but if the scope were expanded to five, it would certainly be included within the five major academies.

Agnes was a professor teaching ‘Understanding Strategic Politics’ at the Aperium Academy.

The Academy cadets sitting in their seats were silent at her question.

That was when.

Swish.

Agnes nodded as a woman raised her hand.

“Tell me.”

“This is General Graden.”

“That’s right, General Graden, who is famous in Meladion for being an old-fashioned but excellent general.”

chuck.

Agnes pointed to a section of the map posted on the blackboard.

It was the border area where the boundaries of the Melidion and Artian kingdoms met.

“Currently, Meladion’s army is forming up along this border. There are about five thousand soldiers in total. However, additional reports say that five thousand more soldiers are deployed in the rear.”

Agnes asked the cadets again.

“Do you know what this means?”

“It means that it wouldn’t be strange if war started at any moment.”

It was the woman who answered just a moment ago.

Agnes looked at the woman and asked.

“So, do they want war?”

“You may want war, or you may not.”

“What does that mean? Such vague words are meaningless.”

“I think the Kingdom of Meladion is trying to see how our kingdom will react.”

“See the reaction?”

Agnes continued questioning the woman as if the other cadets did not exist.

“Can you be a little more specific?”

“Yes, the Kingdom of Meladion is currently making provocations on an unprecedented scale. Perhaps the reason they can do this is because of the Kingdom of Baroque.”

They can provoke because the Baroque Kingdom, which is on the opposite side of them, is holding out.

Because they were confident that they would not be able to invest a large amount of troops in themselves while leaving the Baroque Kingdom, which had the strongest military force on the continent, behind.

Agnes nodded.

“That’s right. If it weren’t for that reason, there would be no reason for the Kingdom of Meladion to make such a provocation. That was a good answer.”

Agnes nodded and turned around. Then,

“So I think it’s important now to make it clear who has the upper hand.”

“……what?”

Agnes, who was turning around, stopped and looked at the female student again.

Because it wasn’t an opinion that a normal cadet would express.

“Should we go to war?”

“I think this provocation is significant. If we respond in a vague manner, not only will these provocations continue, but they may even launch a preemptive strike across the border.”

“But as you said, our kingdom must keep a check on the Baroque Kingdom to the east. If we withdraw troops to the Meladion Kingdom, we will have to reduce the amount of blood loss.”

“So now I have to do two things at the same time.”

“Two things…?”

Agnes now straightened her posture and focused on the cadet’s words.

Because her words seemed to have something rough and yet penetrating to the core.

The female cadet nodded in response to Agnes’ question.

“The Baroque Kingdom is a kingdom that values ​​martial arts to the utmost. That’s why they send their best knights to the Baroque Kingdom to wage a Parcontium, while also sending troops to the western border.”

“Parcontium……?”

For a moment, Agnes’ expression hardened.

Because it wasn’t a word that could come out of a normal cadet’s mouth.

The Parcontium is one of the traditions unique to the Baroque kingdom.

It is to compete with young knights from other countries and exchange the strength of knights from each country.

In one sense, it could be seen as a comparison of the military power of each country, but the important point is that while this Partontium is taking place, a non-aggression pact is automatically concluded whereby the Baroque Kingdom cannot move its military.

Additionally, if you win in Parcontium, you can conduct diplomacy to continue the non-aggression pact between the two sides.

“……What is the student’s name?”

Agnes asked with a stern expression. The female student responded.

“This is DL.”
