◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (85)

“What the hell is this!”

A neutral zone just off the border.

Although it was a small area, it still had a lot of different terrains.

The Black Ogres were a bandit group operating in neutral areas.

They took control of the highest hill in the neutral zone and made their base there, carrying out various activities.

And the leader of the Black Ogres, Zexter.

He was originally the captain of the guard of the Siren Kingdom, but was kicked out with his life barely saved by bribery, and ended up committing robbery in the neutral zone.

However, he had considerably more skills than a simple thief, so he was able to unite surrounding thief groups and create a huge thief group with over 500 subordinates.

Because of this, the Black Ogres in this neutral zone possessed power that was truly untouchable.

however…….

“What kind of nonsense is this?”

Something unbelievable happened.

It is said that Rialkan, one of the sub-leaders of the Black Ogre Group, fled after losing his men in a small village with less than fifty men capable of fighting.

“Two, boss! That is…….”

At Sechster’s scolding, Rialkan made a sad expression as if he felt wronged.

“There was this guy who shot arrows like a ghost. Seriously! He killed two people in less than 10 seconds!”

Rialkan recalled the incident from that time.

Because the darkness was so thick, it felt like their own stage.

Because they have always been active when darkness falls.

But the moment that arrow flew, everything changed.

Rialkan recalled the scene from that time.

I’m talking about a subordinate who was running and got hit by an arrow and was thrown backwards.

“Oh, what a strong bow that was… The subordinate who was hit by the arrow flew at least three or four meters.”

“What is that…….”

“That’s nonsense!”

Then someone came into the mountain and shouted loudly.

Rialkan’s expression distorted at the sight of a man walking toward him with a long spear slung over his shoulder.

The man holding the spear spoke to Rialkan.

“You must have felt that way because you were scared. An arrow can send a person flying three or four meters? Even in the kingdom, there are only a handful of people who can shoot arrows like that.”

The guy who showed up while making a fuss was Rolf, a vice-leader who was quite promising to Sechster within the Black Ogre Group.

He was originally a mercenary, but he was branded as such in the mercenary world because he slaughtered all the merchants, including the owner of the shop.

Thanks to that, he brought his entire mercenary group to the Black Ogre Corps, and he is a guy who handles a spear amazingly.

However, his only flaw is that he has a cruel personality and is not good at controlling his anger.

Rialkan frowned at Rolf’s appearance.

“Stop talking nonsense. Do you think it would be any different if you were there? If you were there, there would be an arrow to the head…….”

Whirik-!

At that moment, the spear moved at incredible speed and aimed at Rialkan’s neck.

Rialkan looked at Rolf, frozen stiffly, as the spear fell just in front of his chin.

Rolf said, aiming his spear at Rialkan.

“Lialkan, I tell you this over and over again, but you better be careful what you say in front of me. That’s if you want that fucking face of yours to hang properly on your neck.”

Eyes filled with life.

He really is thinking of killing me.

Rialkan swallowed without realizing it.

‘This, this crazy guy… … This kid is seriously crazy.’

There’s nothing wrong with hearing the old saying that a madman should avoid harm.

When Rialkan said nothing more and just looked at Rolf, Sechster said:

“So far. How was everything going?”

“Well… I didn’t get many, but I did catch some pretty useful women. Before I hand them over to the kingdom’s slave traders, I’ll select the good ones and give them to you to taste first tonight. Hehehe.”

At the sight of the sinister guy, Sechster turned his gaze back to Rialkan.

“Rialkan, take your men and go back. If you show such a disgrace again, I will not forgive you.”

“Oh, I understand.”

“Sir, please leave it to me. Rather than wasting your time on such a idiot, I’ll finish it in one go.”

“Because this kid keeps telling me to listen!”

Rialkan, who had thought that he would just avoid the madman until a moment ago, eventually couldn’t hold it in any longer and drew his sword.

visor!

As Rialkan drew his sword, Rolf smirked and picked up his spear again.

“Today, I will taste your blood.”

Rolf’s eyes sparkled. But,

“stop.”

The moment the soft voice of the sectarian resonated through the mountain, Rolf clicked his tongue and put away his spear.

“This is something that Rialkan has to deal with. Rolf, wait until next time.”

“Tch, I understand.”

Without hesitation, Rolf placed the spear back on his shoulder and turned around.

Then Sechster said to Rialkan.

“There are no two mistakes.”

“……yes.”

Rialkan bit his lips tightly and left the mountain village with a solemn expression.

It was truly the emergence of a hero.

Everyone was able to survive thanks to the man who suddenly appeared.

“Thank you for your help.”

“Thank you so much, thank you.”

The townspeople kept thanking Lian.

Of course, there were those who were wary of Lian.

It was true that I was able to overcome the crisis thanks to his help, but I didn’t know his true identity.

“But who are you?”

“I am Captain Lian of the Artian Kingdom.”

“Wow, are you talking about the regular army of the kingdom?”

“yes.”

At that moment, the atmosphere became agitated.

Aren’t they all the ones who fled from the Artian Kingdom and came here?

But why did the royal army come here?

For a moment, anxiety appeared in people’s eyes.

Are they trying to capture you?

And then he began to carefully lift the weapon he was holding.

Lian shook her head at their reactions.

“You don’t have to be wary. I came because I need your strength.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

The sound that came from Lian’s words was from the other direction.

Suddenly, a group of people approached from the side, and among them was a woman who was dragging a large sword.

A face that looks young at first glance.

In comparison, his body seemed quite developed.

Lian asked, looking at the approaching woman.

“My name is Lian. What is your name?”

“Okay, what are you talking about saying we need your strength? I’m telling you straight, if you talk nonsense, you’ll get your head blown off right here.”

At her sharp tone, Lian looked at her closely.

She was quite tall for a woman.

It seemed like he was definitely over 170cm tall.

She had short, brown hair that fell just below her ears.

Although he was frowning, overall he had an innocent and gentle expression.

Long, slender arms and legs and a firm chest that is different from that of the average woman.

Although he didn’t have any large muscles, his muscles were quite thick and noticeable, and most importantly, blood was flowing slightly from the hand holding the sword.

A small line was drawn at the corner of Lian’s mouth.

“……Herald.”

“……!”

For a moment, her eyes shook slightly.

Soon she frowned.

“Who, who! Who said my name?”

Herilda shouted while looking at the people. But they all shook their heads with bewildered expressions.

Because no one told me.

Then Herilda looked at Lian and said.

“What? How come you don’t know my name?”

“I am Lian, the Heavenly General of the Artian Kingdom. I have come here to supplement the members of my unit.”

“……Are you saying that you came to select us as members of your unit?”

“That’s correct.”

“You crazy kid.”

Herilda raised the corners of her lips while grumbling. Then she pointed to the people behind her and spoke to Lian.

“There are only about fifty people here who can fight. So you’re taking us as your unit? What about the rest of them? Can you take responsibility for them as well?”

“If you become a member of the unit and achieve merit, you can get money and a house to support your family. Then……”

Lian answered calmly.

Of course, I moved with all those things in mind.

But before Lian could finish speaking, Herilda screamed as if in a fit of convulsion.

“That’s bullshit!”

Lian looked at Herilda, who was screaming.

Harilda started shouting at Lian like a crazy person.

“There’s no guarantee that we’ll be able to achieve great things just because we join your unit! What are you going to do with the people here before you achieve great things? Are you going to leave them here?”

Herilda, who had been shouting excitedly, raised the corners of her mouth as if she was laughing.

She spoke in a hushed tone.

“You kingdom people are always like this. Selfish. You don’t care what happens to other people.”

And then he looked at the people behind him and said.

“Why do you think we ran away here?”

Several people nodded in agreement with Herilda’s words.

Some people were already shedding tears.

Because that was their situation.

Herilda continued speaking.

“The moment we leave, everyone left here will die. The young women and children will be captured and sold into slavery, and the old people will all die.”

And then, as Herilda looked at Lian, a faint murderous glint flashed in her eyes.

“Do you think a guy like you, who eats well and lives well, would know our circumstances?”

“Of course, I know very well. That’s why I came here.”

Lian answered Herilda’s words calmly. Then she looked at the people behind her and said.

“Did you know there’s a bounty on the heads of the bandits here?”

“……what?”

“The most representative example is the Black Ogres. Their scope of activity is neutral territory, but they operate quite widely, reaching as far as the border between the Artian Kingdom and the Siren Kingdom. Furthermore, the country’s laws are being shaken by the human trafficking they commit by capturing people.”

That’s why both kingdoms put bounties on bandits in neutral territory.

Here’s a ridiculous fact.

Although they are offering a bounty in the hopes that the bandits will be brought down, neither kingdom has any intention of raising an army to take down the bandits.

The reason is simple.

Not only is the damage not enough to warrant military action, but they also believe that subduing the bandits will help the opposing kingdom.

“Considering the relationship between the Artian Kingdom and the Siren Kingdom… it’s actually an easily predictable problem.”

They are truly mortal enemies.

Because that was exactly the situation between the two kingdoms.

“That’s why we have a strong will to never do anything good to the other person, even if it means getting hurt.”

“……You call that talking?”

Herilda, who was listening to Lian’s story, had a look of bewilderment on her face.

“Is that the only reason those crazy guys can keep harassing us?”

“……okay.”

Perhaps it could be said that this was the ugly side of the kingdom, but from the kingdom’s standpoint, there was no reason to care for those who fled to the neutral zone.

However, Herilda and the people here are literally living in hell every day.

I can’t go anywhere else, and I don’t have the strength to fight them either.

Lian said, looking at Herilda, who was unable to hide her sad expression.

“But there is a way out of this situation.”
