◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (87)

An unfamiliar training ground.

When Isaac arrived there, he saw the people inside the training grounds.

They all seemed like extraordinary guys.

‘Is this the Silver Knight Unit?’

Everyone here trains with the dream of becoming a knight.

I don’t know for sure, but the intensity of the training must be tremendous, and their skills seem excellent.

A few days ago, Isaac arrived in Allendrian, the capital of the Artian Kingdom, and came upon a Silver Knight unit on the outskirts.

Since all the talk had already been finished, it wasn’t difficult for Isaac to enter the Silver Knight.

And today is the first day of training.

I already know some of the things I need to know, but I still feel nervous.

Isaac was alone in a corner of the training ground, stretching lightly.

Then someone came and asked.

“Are you the outsider who is taking the promotion test with me this time?”

“……?”

A man with gray hair and a sad expression approached Isaac and spoke to him.

When Isaac turned around, he looked him up and down.

“Your build is on the small side. Then I guess you’re weak as well.”

Isaac frowned slightly as he watched him mutter as if he was judging him.

Then he said in surprise.

“Oh, sorry, sorry. It’s just that I have a habit of analyzing new people. Nice to meet you. I’m Janiel Roximack.”

“……This is Isaac.”

“Isaac? What’s your last name?”

“I am a commoner, so I have no last name.”

“Huh? A commoner?”

At those words, the guys nearby came over and started wandering around.

“What? A commoner?”

“How did a commoner get here?”

“No, since you said you were going to be judged together, I thought you were from a noble family, but you’re a commoner?”

In an instant, guys started making noise all around him. Janiel frowned as he looked at them.

“Get out, you idiots. I’m having a conversation, so don’t make me feel bad.”

The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

The guys spoke to Janiel with puzzled expressions.

“Oh, no. I just…….”

“Janiel, that’s not what I meant. It’s just because you’re a commoner…….”

“Does it make any difference that I’m a commoner? Training is coming up soon, so don’t dawdle around here and get out of here.”

“Uh, I’m sorry.”

“sorry.”

As soon as the guys disappear, Janiel looks at Isaac again.

“You don’t have to worry about those guys. I’m just a commoner, so I was just a little surprised.”

Then he patted Isaac on the back and said.

“Let’s go, training will start soon.”

As he followed him, Isaac had an expression on his face that suggested he couldn’t tell if this guy was a good guy or a bad guy.

The Silver Knight’s promotion test was simple.

There are about 500 members in the unit, and they basically take three tests.

Test your contribution to the kingdom, tactics, and sparring with the instructor.

If you pass all of that, you will have a tournament with those who passed, and only ten people will be promoted to knights.

Only ten people can become knights in the exam held once a year, and the top performers among them can join the most prestigious order in the kingdom, the Knights of Golden Glory.

So Isaac decided to train with the Silver Knights while his promotion review was in progress. However,

‘……what?’

Isaac doubted his eyes.

Because I was so curious about the guys collapsing as if they were dying after finishing their morning training.

As was the case everywhere, basic physical training was started, and then swordsmanship and tactics training were conducted. As it was morning training, the intensity was not high.

Janiel approached Isaac like that.

“It was pretty hard, right? That’s understandable since it’s your first day, but if you endure it for a few days, you’ll get used to it.”

“……?”

Is this training hard?

At most, I ran about fifty laps around the training grounds?

The training ground’s perimeter is only a little over five hundred meters.

Of course, it’s light armor, but it might be a little difficult to run while wearing armor.

‘It’s not like this… … .’

The same goes for the subsequent swordsmanship training.

Isaac was confused by the fact that no matter how much he thought about it, it didn’t seem that different from the Arrowhead unit members.

Isaac looked at Janiel and asked.

“Do you train like this every day?”

“No, from what I saw, it seemed like I ran a little more today because of you. I usually finish around twenty laps. And I think my swordsmanship training was a little more intense today.”

“……Oh, I see.”

Isaac nodded calmly, trying hard to hide his embarrassment.

Janiel chuckled and sat down next to Isaac.

“By the way, I saw you training in swordsmanship earlier, you were pretty good, right?”

“Thank you.”

“That’s true. Is it because you’re small? Your strength seems a bit lacking, but your special skill is speed. May I ask what kind of swordsmanship you use? The way you swing your sword seems a bit different from the kingdom’s swordsmanship. Since you’re a commoner, you probably don’t have your family’s secret swordsmanship, right?”

“……I just learned it on my own.”

“Hmm… isn’t it unusual?”

The guy who had been muttering to himself soon got up from his seat.

“The afternoon training is mainly about sparring, so recover sufficiently.”

Isaac looked at Janiel as he walked away, tapping him on the shoulder, as if he still couldn’t figure out whether the guy was a good guy or a bad guy.

“Kill me…… Kill me…… Kill me……!”

Rialkan, the second-in-command of the Black Ogres, kept muttering with bloodshot eyes.

As darkness fell, we quickly headed back towards the village.

‘How dare those bastards inflict such humiliation on me… …?’

Rialkan, who had received reinforcements from Sechster, was burning with anger greater than the terror he had felt that day.

‘Just watch out for that archer.’

There’s one weird girl wielding a big sword, but we can just suppress her with a single attack.

Rialkan ground his teeth, thinking that he would catch them all this time.

And Rialkan led his men and arrived near the village where the guys were.

The village was surrounded by dozens of shabby structures made of branches and grass, with a wooden wall as high as the village’s face.

I was planning to melt into the darkness and get closer to attack.

Swish.

Rialkan saw the village ahead.

Now the distance is only about 100m.

This is where the view slowly becomes brighter due to the torches the guys have hung on the wooden walls.

At Rialkan’s signal, the subordinates next to him nodded.

And just as the guys were about to scatter and move to the side, shhhhhhhh!

“……?”

When they heard the sharp sound of wind, the thieves raised their heads towards the source of the sound.

And at that very moment,

Puppupupupupuk-!

“Kkaaaaaaah-!”

“My, my eyes! Euaaaah!”

“Arrows! They’re shooting arrows!”

Several of his subordinates fell down and started screaming as a dozen or so arrows suddenly flew at them.

Rialkan gritted his teeth in desperation.

“These little bastards! Kill them all!”

“Eww!”

“How dare you bastards!”

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!

Nearly a hundred bandits began to run out at once.

Anyway, it takes time for an arrow to be shot again.

I was concerned about why a dozen arrows suddenly flew at me, but in the extremely excited state of the situation, I could no longer see anything like that.

“Kill them all!”

Just kill him quickly and that’ll be it. But,

“Everyone ready.”

Lian, who had been waiting inside the village, spoke softly as he quickly pushed the archers back.

Suddenly, there were people holding spears and shields around Lian.

The only unusual thing was that women who had not originally taken part in the battle were standing there holding large shields.

Lian said, looking at the women holding shields.

“If you fight, you may get stabbed or cut by your opponent’s weapon. However, if you leave the position or give up fighting because of that…….”

The moment Lian trailed off, the sound of someone swallowing was heard loudly.

Lian said with a faint smile.

“Look at the faces of the people around you.”

At those words, people looked at each other with trembling expressions.

Everyone was afraid, but they all looked prepared.

Lian said firmly.

“The moment I give up, the people next to me will die, for sure.”

“Po, I won’t give up!”

“We have to live!”

“You can do it!”

They shouted as if they were renewing their resolve.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!”

“Kill him!”

When the excited Rialkan and his men came closer, shouting, Rialkan suddenly felt something was strange.

‘……what?’

The guys who had always managed to hold out behind a crudely made wooden wall have now abandoned the wall and are huddled together far apart.

Besides, it felt like there were a lot more people than before.

The original number of guys fighting was around fifty, but now at first glance it looked like there were twice that many.

“What is that shield?”

“Even weapons?”

Moreover, Rialkan frowned at the sight of a proper spear and shield.

“What’s that! They’re all weak anyway!”

It was the moment when Rialkan and his men jumped over the wooden wall and entered the village.

“Now is the time!”

“Eww!”

“Yaaaaaaah!”

At Lian’s shout, the people who were preparing shouted and pulled the ropes they were holding.

Bang! Phew!

“……!”

The guys who were running ahead of the thick rope that suddenly rose up to their knees were unable to even think of avoiding it and just rolled on the ground.

“Huh?!”

“Eww!”

Naturally, the thieves who had been following behind also bumped into the ones who had fallen in front and rolled around on the ground together.

“Eww!”

And the battle began.

Groups of five began to run furiously towards the bandits who had fallen to the ground.

Two men held shields and the other three attacked with spears.

Phuuk! Phuuk! Phuuk!

“Kkaaaak!”

“Get up! Get up and kill!”

In an instant, the village became a battlefield and a tangled fight began.

“How dare these bastards!”

One of the bandits, who had not tripped over the rope, ran towards the group of men with twinkles in his eyes and swung his axe.

At that moment,

bang!

“……uh?”

A middle-aged woman lifted the shield she was holding and blocked the axe.

Her lips, visible beyond the shield, were trembling.

Although she had a terrified expression on her face, as if she were about to die at any moment, she did not put down the shield she was holding.

“What the hell is this dog…….”

Phew!

The thief tried to say something in the absurd situation, but before he could finish his words, the man standing behind the shield-wielding woman pierced his neck with a spear.

“Crunch!”

The thief whose throat was pierced by a spear was killed with a single swing of an axe.

Those who had killed one person in an instant could not believe what was happening now.

Because all those who held the spears were men of considerable age, and those who held the shields were women.

They were usually quick to run away and leave the fighting to the young people, but they changed in just a few days.

“Wow, we killed these thieves!”

“We can do it too!”

Killing one person gave me a surge of confidence.

While shooting his bow, Lian continued to check on the people around him.

The hundred or so people gathered here now are people who have never participated in combat before.

However, just by learning the basic tactics of the Arrowhead Unit, which consists of five people in a group and attacking and defending at the same time, he became a completely different person.

However, that doesn’t mean you can win a battle with them.

Hurrah!

Lian immediately lit the arrowhead wrapped in oilcloth and shot it into the sky.

Pee-!

As the fire arrow flew into the sky like a signal flare, Rialkan’s gaze turned to the sky.

“What are these little shits planning to do this time…!”

And Rialkan’s expression hardened.

“Kill them all!”

“Pay back all the sorrows I’ve suffered so far!”

Familiar faces appear with cheers.

All the guys who had fought against them to protect this village until now were lying in ambush behind them.

“What the… is this crazy?”

Then what on earth were the hundred or so guys fighting in front of here?

Are you saying that all the guys in the village suddenly became warriors?

Rialkan’s face was filled with bewilderment at the completely incomprehensible situation.

And the corners of Lian’s mouth went up as he watched that scene.

“You will all die here.”

With those words, Herilda’s greatsword began to swing over the guys’ heads.
