◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (160)

Snap!

Barus couldn’t hide his bewildered expression as he saw Lian suddenly grab him by the collar.

It wasn’t because he grabbed her by the collar.

Because it was the first time I saw Lian so angry.

“Is that… what you call talk?”

“…….”

To Lian’s question, Varus couldn’t even open his mouth like a mute who had eaten honey.

No, not just Barus, but everyone present.

I couldn’t even make excuses because I was overwhelmed by the tremendous momentum flowing out of Lian’s body.

It really looks like he’s going to kill someone.

Gulp.

Barus swallowed hard and waited for Lian’s response with his fist clenched.

Isaac couldn’t stand the thought of himself being bait for the Arrowhead main force.

“Captain Barus, Captain Raymond.”

“Yes, yes!”

“Yes, Captain!”

The two people are very alert at the sight of Lian’s unprecedented appearance.

Lian looked at the two and spoke softly.

“We have already lost precious soldiers because of me.”

There was deep sadness in Lian’s voice.

Lian’s hand, which was holding Barus’s collar, trembled slightly.

Finally, Lian continued speaking.

“I think everyone is mistaken… I am not the whole Arrowhead unit.”

Swish.

Lian’s sharp eyes turned to Raymond and Varus. Lian continued speaking.

“Arrowhead exists because of all of us, and I would do the same thing to Isaac or any of you in the same situation.”

A firm and confident voice.

Varus looked at Lian without saying a word.

Because it seemed as if he could see his true feelings in the eyes that were staring at him.

Varus said.

“……I’m sorry, Captain.”

“Phew…….”

Lian let go of Varus’ collar, letting out a small breath and controlling her emotions.

“I’m sorry.”

“No, our thinking was…short-sighted. I’m sorry, Commander.”

“sorry.”

At Varus’s words, Raymond also bowed his head to Lian and said.

Because I knew what was wrong.

At that sight, Lian said.

“Get your men ready right away. We’re going to rescue Isaac.”

“Sir, I know it may be presumptuous of me to say something, but may I?”

Raymond said, looking at Lian.

As Lian nodded, Raymond continued speaking with a stern expression.

“I understand what you’re saying, Captain, but if we go rescue Isaac now, nothing will change. It’s just a matter of us all dying together.”

I knew Lian’s true feelings about not being able to just abandon her comrades.

But that doesn’t mean we can jump into the fire pit together without any help.

“Captain Isaac also knows this fact, and that is why he made that choice. Not just to save the captain, but for the entire Arrowhead unit.”

Raymond continued.

“Besides, you don’t have any weapons right now, Commander.”

Everyone here knows better than anyone else that Lian is skilled in archery.

However, to overcome this worst situation, the power of an Aura user is needed, not just an ‘archer who is good at shooting arrows’.

“There is no bow in the unit that can withstand Lian-sama’s aura right now.”

It’s unfortunate, but it’s reality.

Even the bow made by Walter, who was now a renowned master in the Artian Kingdom, was unable to withstand Lian’s aura and broke.

Lian shook her head at the two people’s words.

“There is one way to try.”

“What is that?”

In response to Varus’ question, Lian took out a long stick from his waistband.

Raymond, who saw it, asked.

“What is that?”

“It’s a window.”

“……yes?”

That stick that’s barely 50cm long is a spear?

Lian took a couple of steps back from the two men, then began to use her magical powers and inject them into the stick she was holding.

Then at that moment,

visor-!

Suddenly, a spear blade shot out from inside the pole, and with a rough metallic friction sound, it grew to about 2 meters long.

The blade looked a bit rough, but judging by the engravings on the shaft and the subtle sheen, it seemed like the spear had been made using fairly high-quality materials.

Barus’s eyes trembled slightly.

“Do you know how to… do spearmanship?”

“A little.”

Although he spoke humbly, even Diana acknowledged that Lian’s spearmanship was excellent.

It’s just that his archery skills were so ridiculously good that there was no need to use them.

visor-!

Lian, who had transformed the spear into a small stick shape again, hung the stick on his waist.

Lian said.

“The guys don’t know I use a spear. And they probably don’t think a stick like this is a spear.”

“……Are you saying you’re looking for a moment of weakness?”

“If I’m exposed, they’ll definitely come after me. But unless they’re Marcel or at least a senior officer, I won’t be affected.”

Lian picked up a wooden bow for supply.

It may be just a standard wooden bow, but it would be different if it was in Lian’s hands.

Even if there were a dozen or so ordinary soldiers, they wouldn’t be able to touch even a single hair on Lian’s head.

In the end, either a high-ranking official will have to step in or Marcel will have to take action himself.

Just that one time,

“To block the aura, you have no choice but to use the aura. But you wouldn’t expect someone to use the aura with a spear.”

It is necessary to divert the opponent’s attention by inflicting mortal wounds rather than killing them.

At that very moment, when a brief opening is made, the plan is to use all the force of the unit to break through and escape.

That was Lian’s plan.

“……It may be a bit reckless, but I think it’s worth a try.”

“I really want to stop you, but I can’t.”

Raymond and Varus looked at Lian, seemingly resigned.

Suddenly, a small smile appeared on Lian’s face.

The usual Lian.

Lian said, looking at the two of them.

“I’m always sorry, and thank you.”

“Because this is the Arrowhead Unit.”

“Then let’s go, into the fire.”

The three people who had become one in mind quickly began to move, leading the unit.

* * *

“Umm…….”

Marcel sat up and wrapped the wound with a new bandage.

Although the injury to his left shoulder was still serious and he could not swing his sword freely, he was able to move after a few days of treatment.

“How are things going?”

“We’ve already cornered them completely. There’s nowhere they can run.”

Despite Felix’s words, Marcel’s expression remained dark.

Marcel asked Felix.

“How much damage is there now?”

The fact that the situation has continued to this day despite the favorable circumstances means that something unexpected is happening.

Felix’s expression darkened at Marcel’s question.

“About five hundred…… people were killed.”

“Is it because of the weapon that handles that aura?”

“yes.”

We already know that a small number of units are being used to attract the attention of the opposing forces.

Marcel’s unit continued to send in troops in an attempt to somehow destroy the guys first.

But it fails every time.

Even though we deployed twice as many troops as the enemy on several occasions.

However, it is not possible to just deploy a large number of people.

Geographically, it was not possible for so many men to attack at once, and since they could not find the enemy’s main force, they had to maintain a forest encirclement.

It’s clearly an advantageous position, but it feels like the brakes are constantly being applied.

Marcel wore his own armor, which had holes pierced by Lian’s arrows.

“I will go myself.”

“It’s too much for that body.”

“It’s okay. It’s not like the fight is impossible. Besides, there can be no more sacrifices.”

We’ve already lost too many men.

It was my own fault for not considering other situations because I was so determined to get rid of those guys.

‘Let’s finish this as quickly as possible, starting now.’

The four days of waiting were just to wait for my body to recover enough to be able to fight at least.

Felix let out a small sigh at Marcel’s words.

Because he knows better than anyone that he is not the type of person to go back on a decision he has already made.

Felix said to Marcel.

“Then I will go with you.”

“You’re supposed to command a unit.”

“That’s something the other guys, the ants, are doing very well. They’ve already built a siege net to prevent even a single ant from escaping.”

“Hmm… I see.”

Marcel took a step back at Felix’s hard-line stance.

That’s because the guy is also quite stubborn, just like you.

Marcel nodded.

“Then get ready right away. You don’t want to give your opponent time to rest.”

“All right.”

Marcel came out of the barracks and looked at the sky.

It is early morning, not long after the sun has risen.

This is probably the most tiring time for the enemies who fought all night.

‘I’ll finish it all today.’

Marcel’s eyes were staring straight ahead with a cold gaze, along with a strong will.

* * *

Sizzle.

Isaac, who had torn his shirt, bandaged the wounds of the soldier next to him.

I had gotten cut pretty deep by an enemy’s sword in the battle earlier, but thankfully there seemed to be no problem with my bone.

“……Ugh, I’m sorry.”

“Save your words. Rest as much as possible.”

Although he was already in such a miserable state that he looked like a rag, Isaac took care of his men first.

Isaac slowly straightened his back.

Among the corpses strewn across the floor, the figures of the unit members are visible.

The battle that lasted from dawn until daybreak was won, but it was only an honor that left deep scars.

“This is the last water, Captain.”

“You drink.”

“Master Isaac, you gave me all the supplies. Drink it. Then you will die.”

“……thanks.”

Isaac’s voice had become hoarse after not drinking water for over a day.

The blood that flowed from his burst mouth mixed with his saliva and moistened his dry throat.

Isaac carefully drank the water Janiel offered him.

I didn’t want to show it, but the hand holding the water bottle was shaking.

At that sight, Janiel said.

“Twelve people were killed. About twenty were seriously injured.”

“We leave the dead to the wounded and move on. Those who smell blood will surely come rushing in again.”

Isaac dropped his water bottle on the floor and exhaled deeply.

Even in this situation, he had to calmly assess the situation and make a judgment.

Janiel lowered his head silently, then looked at Isaac and said.

“Captain of the couple.”

“why?”

“Can we return alive?”

“…….”

For a moment, Isaac was speechless. Then, Isaac asked Janiel.

“Janiel, why did you become a knight?”

“Yes? Of course, it’s to protect the country and carry out the king’s orders.”

“It is an honorable path.”

“Are the couple leaders different?”

Isaac closed his mouth at Janiel’s question and recalled an old memory.

“I was a war orphan.”

He lost his parents at a very young age due to the war and had no choice but to grow up on the streets.

Despite having nothing, he was always taken advantage of due to his weak personality.

I enlisted in the military because they at least fed me three proper meals a day, but I didn’t do very well there.

The most he could do was to not cause any trouble.

“So I just worked hard. Because all I could do was just work hard.”

I trained a little more than others, and moved a little more than others.

That’s when we met.

“And after that, I realized why I became a soldier and what I wanted to do.”

“……What is that?”

“Protecting.”

“Protecting…… something?”

“Yes. I will protect it. My country, my comrades.”

Isaac chuckled and tapped Janiel on the shoulder.

“So don’t worry. I won’t leave you to die.”

Isaac finished speaking and turned his head to the other side.

Even though there was quite a distance, I felt the energy of the guys moving towards this place again.

“……I guess you’ve decided to end it this time.”

And the strong energy felt within it.

Isaac could tell that the feeling of strength was clearly different from before.

The guy who made Lian like that appeared in person.

Isaac said to Janiel.

“Janiel, gather the men. We’ll be moving to another location in ten minutes.”

Fortunately, the guys have become quite cautious after taking damage several times.

They don’t just blindly rush in and say they’re here.

Thanks to that, I can rest a little, but

‘… … This time it won’t be easy.’

Anxiety that this might be the last. Isaac shook his head and shook the thought away.

‘I will protect you, without fail.’

At this moment, I only think about what I can do.

Isaac, who had been staring at one spot, soon began moving towards the opposite mountain with his men.
