The Immortal Genius Spearman (119)
“The Spanish Kingdom and the Baroque Kingdom have formed a powerful alliance… … But isn’t this too unbalanced?”
Galveron Maxkop.
The man who was named the fourth Auror Master of the Empire looked at Esteban, the commander of the Third Legion, and asked.
Esteban’s eyebrows twitched slightly at that.
“… … I think my words are a bit short, Count Galberon.”
“Oh, is that so? I was a little curious. The Spanish Kingdom would have nothing to give to the Baroque Kingdom, so how did the two kingdoms form an alliance?”
“The easy thing to think about is giving some of the land on the border to the Baroque Kingdom. But the question is not how they formed an alliance, but what we should do now that they have formed an alliance.”
Esteban said, trying to suppress his emotions.
How can all those who hold the title of Auror Master be so arrogant and self-willed?
‘I acknowledge its power, but… … .’
It’s not like you can achieve everything through your own efforts.
Esteban said, looking at the continental map hanging on the wall.
“So first, I will raise an army and attack the northwestern region of the Spanish Kingdom. Then, their attention will naturally turn there.”
“Then… … In the meantime, should I attack the Kingdom of Tirkan?”
“If we get hold of the Kingdom of Tirkan, we can then attack the eastern part of the Kingdom of Spanian, or even enter the Kingdom of Ceylonian directly.”
It was originally an operation that was intended to be centered around the Spanish Kingdom.
‘Considering the size of the Spanish kingdom, this resistance was quite predictable.’
But despite that, I was proud that I could press and hold it enough… … .
‘I never thought the Baroque Kingdom would counterattack so sharply.’
From the time he gathered soldiers from the Spanish Kingdom and attacked the border of the Baroque Kingdom, to the decisive battle with the Kingdom of Irene.
Moreover, didn’t they recently destroy the Rose Knights of Fiarren Tail who had entered the Spanish Kingdom?
And Esteban already knew the reason why it happened through the report.
That is to say, all three battles, which were most important to their advance, were fought by one unit.
“If the Count’s forces take another step after completely occupying the Kingdom of Tirkan, they may appear again.”
“Guys? Are you talking about the Baroque Kingdom unit that defeated the Rose Knights?
The name is clearly… … .
“I think it was called the Kaion Unit.”
“That’s right. Those are the guys.”
And obviously the guys are powering up for the next mission.
Esteban said, looking at Galveron.
“Your Majesty, you must annihilate that Kion force.”
That’s why the Auror Master took out the sword called Galberon.
Galberon raised the corners of his mouth at Esteban’s words.
“They’re not even knights who can handle Aura, they’re just regular troops. Then, let’s first take over the Kingdom of Tirkan and then meet again.”
With that, Galberon turned around.
The newly launched sword of the empire.
Esteban watched Galveron walk away and began to prepare for his future plans.

Now, it’s the final third test.
A considerable number of people were previously screened through basic archery and physical tests.
Those who failed to qualify in the first and second tests were all expelled according to Damien’s wishes.
“No, there are 3 tests left, how can you send them out like this!”
“Shouldn’t we all take the test?!”
And in the process, protests from applicants erupted loudly.
This is inevitable because more than half of the 150 people were expelled before the third test.
It was a protest that was incomparable to the uproar during the first archery test.
but.
“Come forward. If any of you can stay in this circle for 30 seconds without leaving, I will ignore the previous test and let you pass.”
The applicants who had been ordered to leave gulped at Damien’s words as he appeared with a window.
Even when I just looked at it, the momentum was considerable.
‘That little guy… … .’
‘What on earth have you done… …?’
Damien, who was holding the spear, was emitting an aura that was truly unbelievable.
But even in the midst of all this, he was unable to properly understand his own abilities.
“I will try.”
There were those who came forward on their own.
The diameter of the circle Damian drew was approximately 5 meters.
If it’s wide, it’s wide; if it’s narrow, it’s narrow.
And then, at that moment, a volunteer was about to enter the circle.
“I’m telling you straight, keep in mind that you could get seriously hurt. I’m not using training weapons, I’m using real weapons.”
Damien reached out towards the applicant, his sharp-edged spear in his hand.
At that, he gulped.
“… …Can I use a shield?”
“Anything is allowed.”
Damien answered shortly and entered the circle. Then he went to where the weapons and shields were displayed… … .
“Do I not have to use a bow?”
“It doesn’t matter what you do.”
In response to Damien, the man picked up a round shield and a short sword.
It looks like a tool that hunters would use.
The Kion unit members looked at him with expressions of interest.
Gulp.
The other applicants who had been discharged early looked at him, swallowing their saliva.
Soon, a volunteer carrying a shield and sword entered the circle.
Damian asked.
“What’s your name?”
“This is Alain.”
The moment he heard his name, Damian looked back.
Diana, who was standing behind, nodded.
“start!”
The start was signaled with a 30-second countdown.
And with that, Alain lowered his stance and raised his shield.
If the opponent’s weapon is a spear, the attack will definitely come from a distance.
‘Still, the size of the circle is quite large.’
If you just drop the window a few times from the end, you can somehow get about 30 seconds… … .
Damien then lifted the window and let out a small breath.
“Phew.”
With his sharp, sunken eyes.
Swish.
Alain looked at Damien with tensed eyes as the window began to move.
But at that moment.
bang!
“Cough!”
Alain screamed as the pressure of something flashing over her body felt like it was crushing her.
Because it felt like the arm holding the shield was breaking.
And that was just the beginning.
The moment Alain blocked Damian’s attack, Damian’s spear went down.
Whirl!
Wow!
I just slammed the guy’s shield upwards.
Alain bit his lip, coming to his senses.
In the blink of an eye, his attack caused his shield-holding arm to shoot up toward the sky.
His upper body was suddenly exposed without any protection.
Alain looked at Damien through gritted teeth.
Before he knew it, Damien’s spear was extended, aiming for his shoulder.
“Eww!”
Alain swung his sword hastily, making a strange noise.
The first priority was to block this attack. But just then, Alain deflected Damien’s spear.
Boohoo!
“… … !”
Suddenly, his spear turned at an incredible angle and stabbed Alain in the thigh.
Phew!
“Kkaaaaaaaaaah!”
Alain screamed as the spear stabbed her quite deeply.
Because I never thought I would actually fail a test like this.
puck!
Damien pulled out the spear, turned it over, and struck Alain in the chest with the end of the spear.
Damian looked at Diana as he was thrown out of the circle with a dull thud.
“… … 12 seconds have passed.”
“It’s over. Are there any more applicants? I’m telling you clearly, if you can hold out for 30 seconds, you’ll definitely be accepted.”
“… … .”
For a moment, the room became quiet.
The only sounds that could be heard were the swallowing of saliva by nameless applicants and the groans of Alain as he fell.
“Ugh… … Shit… … !”
The guy fell to the floor and ground his teeth as if he was being wronged.
Damien said there were no more applicants.
“Then let’s proceed with the third test. Everyone who has been ordered to leave should go back.”
Damian turned around, but then stopped and turned his head to look at the fallen Alain.
“Take that guy to the infirmary and treat him. And he’s the first one to pass.”
“… … !”
“What?!”
The applicants who had been turning around at Damien’s last words flinched and shouted.
yet.
“I, I will apply too!”
“me too!”
Later, other guys came into the circle and said they wanted to be tested.
“Turn around and get out of here right now!”
I had to turn around without even being able to make a sound because of Diana’s shouting.
“Oh, did I pass?”
Alain asked, looking surprised at the news of passing, despite the blood flowing from his legs.
Kyle said as he supported him and led him into the infirmary.
“It won’t be all good. It’s going to be hell.”
“……yes?”
Kyle just chuckled and wished him a happy future.

Although I’ve been here dozens of times, I don’t really like the atmosphere of the palace.
Because it always feels like something is artificial and pretentious.
“What brings you here?”
Chancellor of the Baroque kingdom.
Mateus Jankov.
He welcomed Kiaren, who had arrived unexpectedly, warmly.
However, Kiaren did not hide his uncomfortable expression as he greeted Mateus politely.
“What happened?”
“Are you talking about moving the 6th Corps’ troops for this operation?”
“Yes.”
At Kiaren’s words, Matheus sat down on the chair, offering it to her gently.
As if he already knew that Kiaren would come, Mateus spoke without hesitation.
“It has been revealed that the Empire has dispatched troops not only to the north of the Spanish Kingdom, but also to the Tyrcan Kingdom. And… … there is also talk of preparing a naval force toward the sea.”
“… … A navy?”
For a moment, Kiaren’s expression hardened.
The story that they suddenly moved their forces is… … .
“Just as General Kiaren expected. It probably means a direct attack on our kingdom, which is the obstacle.”
The Baroque Kingdom is located in the northwestern region, bordering a long diagonal sea.
When they said they would attack the kingdom through the sea, the scope was quite wide.
“Therefore, the 2nd and 3rd Corps are currently deployed to the west, and the 4th Corps will move to the northeast to cooperate with the Kingdom of Irene.”
Matheus was also well aware of the recent events and the hard work of the 6th Legion.
But I never expected that the empire would make such a big move.
And now that they had figured out the empire’s movements in the current situation, the Baroque Kingdom had no choice but to become quite busy.
“Perhaps… … a great war will soon break out across the continent. Perhaps something that has never been experienced before… … such things.”
An empire that already had four Auror Masters had the power to declare war on the Continent.
In order to somehow stop them in the midst of such a great disaster, the Baroque Kingdom also needed an Auror Master with outstanding skills.
“One, Auror Masters are those who possess the power of a god given by the heavens. It’s not something that can be obtained just by wishing for it… … .”
They just have to do their best in the current situation.
but.
“His Majesty has ordered me to reward the 6th Corps for their hard work, so please take good care of them, General Kiaren.”
Kiaren sighed at Mateurs’ words, who spoke while biting the carrot appropriately.
Isn’t he a great man who cannot be described in words?
‘Should I be satisfied with just getting one?’
but…….
‘Moving troops across the sea?’
Perhaps… … as Mateus said, a great war unlike any before will break out… … .
Kiaren simply anticipated what would happen next with a stern expression.
