◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (96)

It seemed like everything was just passing by without incident, but each day was sharp as if I was standing on a knife’s edge.

“Prince Byron is making moves?”

“It seemed like they were already gathering forces.”

“I heard that the King’s condition was getting worse… but I didn’t expect him to move this quickly. Does that mean he’s not even going to pay attention?”

Seyla’s brow furrowed at the adjutant’s words.

Although there were already constant battles taking place due to the power struggles between the princes, it was necessary to remain hidden in the shadows.

This is because if we reveal our opinions too much, the forces that are maintaining neutrality may move in the opposite direction.

“Could it be that the First Prince is crossing over to Byron……?”

Until now, it was the 3rd Army that balanced the fierce power struggle between the princes.

A force that is directly subordinate to the royal family and is loyal only to the current king.

And if there is another force, it is the 4th Legion led by the 1st Prince.

The forces currently absorbed by Prince Byron are three legions in total: the 1st, 2nd, and 5th Legions.

Considering that the 3rd Prince was in the 6th and 7th Legions, it could be said that he was ahead, but he had to be mindful of the other forces.

Because the situation can change depending on their movements.

“But if they’re moving so openly… I guess it’s safe to say that the 3rd Corps doesn’t care anymore?”

That means the power of the 4th Army Corps led by the 1st Prince is leaning towards the 2nd Prince.

“What are the movements of the 1st prince?”

“There has been no special movement yet. Prince Byron has not met with the First Prince either.”

Since we can’t go to war yet, we’ve put as many observers as possible on the ground, but even that doesn’t seem to be able to detect all of their secret movements.

Ceyla quickly got up from her seat as if everything was okay.

“It might actually be a good thing. We needed some time to distract ourselves from those guys anyway.”

Lian and Isaac.

It is important for the 2nd Prince to find out the whereabouts of the two guys as late as possible while they are moving separately.

Of course, in Isaac’s case, he is taking the Silver Knight promotion test, which is of interest within the kingdom, so news may spread quickly.

Fortunately, the Second Prince’s side was gathering soldiers boldly, so it seemed that they were unable to focus on other things yet.

“Why do I think of that guy even in this situation?”

He was just a mere soldier with nothing to show for it.

That must mean that the situation is not good from their perspective.

Ceyla tried to erase her bitter smile as she spoke to her adjutant.

“I’m going to Ethan.”

If you come out boldly, we have no intention of avoiding it either.

Rather, if we could use this opportunity to reduce their numbers in reverse… … .

“I think we’ll need Count Gilbert’s help.”

“Count Gilbert…?”

“okay.”

The strongest card that Prince Ethan has.

It’s most important to save as much as possible, but right now it’s a tactical necessity.

“I guess I’ll have to destroy it like this in the beginning to save my body.”

From the guys’ point of view, Gilbert would be considered the last bastion of the Third Prince’s side.

But if such a person appears at the forefront, you can’t help but feel embarrassed. And,

“It’s almost time for the guy to make his promise.”

“……Do you think Lian can do it?”

“Well, I can’t guarantee that. But…….”

Seyla trailed off and turned her gaze out the window.

I don’t know much about the guy, but I think I can say one thing for sure.

“I don’t think he’s ever broken his word.”

A guy who always does ridiculous things.

I was a little excited about what would happen this time. But there was one thing,

‘We’ll have to hurry up a bit this time, Lian.’

* * *

puck-!

That dull sound that I’ve become accustomed to now.

Even though he was watching with his own two eyes, Sechster was at a loss as to how to understand the situation.

“T, does this make sense…?”

“That dog … …!”

Rolf cursed at Jekaline’s question.

Because there was really no way to express my feelings without swearing.

Ugh!

Sechster is also getting angry.

It happened in an instant.

In a short period of time, the number of dead exceeded fifty at a glance.

Even those who managed to avoid the arrows and climb up to the fortress were eventually killed by arrows fired by that monster before they could climb over the wall.

In this absurd situation, the men who had been climbing the hill were crouching behind bushes or low rocks, shivering.

Because I know that the moment I raise my head, I die.

The fear of not knowing when one might die paralyzed people’s reason.

Even if it is a battlefield where reason is lost.

“Don’t give him time. Spread out as much as possible and climb up quickly.”

“Is that all?”

“Yeah. We have to get over that wall somehow and get inside. Otherwise, we’ll just be wasting time here.”

“How about just killing those guys? There won’t be much food left.”

Jekalin suggested a rather plausible strategy.

It’s not like the guys can hold out inside for months.

“Looking at Jekaline, Jekster said.

“Can you handle that guy when darkness falls?”

Creepy.

Because just imagining it for a moment gave me goosebumps all over my body.

“Rather, it would be better to deal with it while it is still inside. If such a monster melts into the darkness and targets us, time will not be on our side.”

“……okay.”

Jekalin nodded in agreement.

The best time to catch them is right before the sun sets today.

“……Fuck.”

Rolf swallowed hard and cursed.

Even though Rolf was a maniac who liked to act out, he instinctively felt fear at the arrows that guy shot.

But the more it is like that, the more we have to push forward.

Because I already know that if I hesitate, I will die.

“……That’s ridiculous.”

There were others who were just as surprised as the Black Ogres below.

It was Herilda and Hwajeonmin who were right around Lian.

‘The bow… was such a scary weapon?’

How many seconds would it take them to run at full speed from the bottom of the hill to where they are?

Even considering that it is a fairly steep uphill road, it will probably take about a minute.

But then about a hundred guys came running up, and before they could even get here, about thirty of them were dead.

And twenty died before they could even scale the wall, which was barely as tall as an adult.

“……I win.”

“I can win……!”

How can you lose a fight with someone like that?

No matter how much I worry, I can’t get tired.

And in the meantime,

“Waaa …

The Black Ogres began to spread out over a fairly wide area and simultaneously began to jump up.

“……!”

The difference was that they came up spread out, but they all came up without their armor and holding it up like a shield.

They figured that if they could somehow climb up the hill and get over the wall, they could win.

“Waaa …

People flinched at the momentum of the guys running towards them like bulls, their cheers erupting loudly.

This is because the previous thought of unconditional victory completely disappeared because of the intimidating appearance.

It was a natural thing.

If you’re not afraid when four or five hundred guys are rushing at you like berserkers, then you’re a human who has lost all emotions.

But only one.

Only Lian still held his bow with a calm expression. And there was something a little different about Lian too.

“……I guess I should shoot a little faster.”

Lian picked up three arrows at once.

Although they were spread out, their movements were bold, perhaps because they were running with their armor as a shield.

There were no guys coming up in a zigzag pattern like at first.

“I am rather grateful.”

With her eyes settling down calmly, Lian’s magic was imbued into the ring. At the same time, Lian felt as if her vision had widened, and she could see the expressions of the guys running towards her vividly.

And one more thing.

Woohoo.

The bow that Lian was holding vibrated slightly.

Before he knew it, a blue current was rippling from his bow, and the arrow he was holding was imbued with an aura of the same color.

‘If you try to stop it, just break through.’

That extreme-!

Lian drew his bow, drawing his arrows. His fingers supporting the three arrows pointed straight at the enemy.

ping!

And the moment the protest is lifted and the arrows fly out,

Suaaaaaaah!

The wind blew as if a gust of wind was rushing towards the rushing bandits.

Puppupupupupuk-!

“……!”

The arrow that pierced through the armor he was holding in an instant did not stop there, but went through the thief’s torso and aimed for the guy behind him.

Although only three arrows were fired, a total of eight people were killed.

Two legs, three each, one leg, two each.

“Kkaaaaaaah!”

One of the guys survived, but Lian’s arrow hit him in the left shoulder, completely blowing off his arm from the shoulder area.

The guy rolled on the ground screaming with a fatal wound, as if a huge beast had bitten his shoulder and ripped his entire arm off.

“Herald, prepare for battle. It’s impossible to stop everything.”

“yes!”

At Lian’s words, Herilda answered loudly and ran towards the people standing against the wall, shouting.

“Everyone, prepare for battle! The moment they get over the wall, skewer them!”

“Okay, I understand!”

“Don’t worry!”

The people responded to Herilda’s words with a loud shout.

Before they knew it, their will was embedded in the weapons they were tightly holding.

But apart from that, the moment he saw the blue light in Lian’s arrow, Sechster’s eyes shook greatly.

“Oh, come on……!”

“Oh, you want to come?!”

Rolf, who was running forward, suddenly stopped and shouted.

That ridiculous destructive power.

And that soft blue color that can be seen with the naked eye.

Because it was an aura.

Have you ever seen anyone using an aura while using a bow?

“What the hell is this-!”

I feel like I’m losing my sense of reality as absurd things keep happening right before my eyes.

He killed more than fifty of his men in an instant with just one bow.

I thought that alone was a ridiculous situation that would make me explode with anger.

But come on.

‘It was a fight where we weren’t even worthy of each other from the start… ‘

Besides, if you’re alone, you can try pressing the numbers somehow.

Even if you are an Auror user, you are still a human after all.

Not only can they not use Aura indefinitely, but their stamina is also limited.

But things are not so good right now.

That monster with the aura surrounding the arrows was a problem, but he had troops with him to protect him while having the geographical advantage.

Although they are just a small group of slash-and-burn farmers, it is no exaggeration to say that their fighting power is at least that of a major troop.

‘I, I have to run away… …!’

Let’s live for now.

I thought I should just retreat, but it was obvious that the moment I ran away, the guy would start hunting me.

Running away with your back turned to an Auror user who uses a bow is like asking to be killed.

furthermore,

‘With this number of people, we might be able to break through.’

If you include the merged thieves, the number exceeds five hundred.

He can’t possibly handle this crowd on his own. And his arrows aren’t infinite, either.

“Push! Kill him! He’s the only one who can fight properly anyway!”

Sechster, who had been shouting at his subordinates, slowly stepped back.

And then he nodded to Rolf, who was nearby.

‘Shall we run away?’

‘Then you’re going to lose to that monster?’

The two ended their conversation in a brief moment of eye contact.

Rolf nodded.

I also don’t want to die here.

‘You can rebuild the power, but if you lose, it’s all over.’

That was the moment when Sechster and Rolf slowly retreated.

“……Is that guy the leader?”

Lian, standing on the fortress wall, had sparkling eyes.

Because of the enhanced vision from the ring, I could see the guys at a glance.

The guy who gives orders there and then falls back.

“Those guys.”

Lian, who saw Zexter and Rolf turning around, trying to hide their frightened eyes, stared at the guy and pulled the trigger.

That’s right.

A protest that went on until the end, unlike any other before.

The two arrows on the sword trembled, but their tips were aimed squarely at Sechster’s back. And then, ping-!

The arrows that left the demonstration flew fiercely toward Sechster.

Phew-!

As Jekalin was running up the hill, her whole body froze as arrows suddenly passed by her on both sides.

Because the speed was so great that he couldn’t even react.

And Jekalin turned his head without realizing it and looked at where the arrow had flown.

Phew!

Rolf, whose body was hit with a dull thud, had a hole the size of a fist punched through it.

“Rolf!”

The guy next to him shouted, but,

Phew!

He was no different.

“……uh?”

Sechster stopped in his tracks and slowly lowered his head to look at his left chest.

Because I felt a strange, cool and hot feeling on my left chest.

And soon, at the hole he had seen with his own two eyes, Sechster burst into laughter as if it was absurd.

“Haha… This is ridiculous.”

An arrow shot from that distance penetrates a person’s body… … No, this is not a penetration level.

Is this something that can’t happen?

“……crazy.”

dump.

With those words, Sechster collapsed to the floor.

Seeing him already a corpse and not even moving, Jekalin dropped her shield without realizing it.

Clang.

And at that moment,

“Naneue …

A voice so loud it makes your whole body tingle.

The roar of Lian’s lion, imbued with magical power, reverberated as if it would engulf the entire hill.

At that voice, those climbing the hill flinched and stood still, looking at Lian.

“Captain Arrowhead, this is Lian.”

Sharp eyes.

Although he had a young-looking face, his presence overwhelmed the entire place, causing the thieves to just stand there and swallow their saliva.

“Your leader is dead.”

Lian said, pointing with her finger to Sechster and Rolf, who were lying in the distance.

The thieves looked at where Lian’s fingertips were pointing, then soon took on a look of despair.

It wasn’t because of anything else.

The direction their dead bodies are facing.

Because it was in the exact opposite direction to them.

“I don’t want any more killing. Put down your weapons and surrender. Then I will spare your lives. And this promise is……”

After taking a deep breath, Lian spoke again.

“I pledge on the honor of the Arrowhead Unit.”

And the moment Lian finished speaking,

Crunch! Crunch-.

They dropped all the weapons they were holding and knelt on the floor.

It means that you have no intention of fighting anymore.

And Herilda, who was watching the scene, looked at the thieves and Lian with an expression of confusion and surprise.

“……It’s over?”

Herilda muttering to herself.

Lian glanced at her and said.

“It’s over.”

The promise was kept.

At Lian’s words, tears of joy began to well up in Herilda’s eyes for the first time.
