Episode 194 Maestro Volkan of Battle (1)
“Let’s see… … The first gathering point is in the forest to the northwest… … .”
Kiel, the third son of the Viscount Jackfield family, left the inn.
It was because of the first summons to the punitive force.
Whirick-.
I flipped over the paper with the summoning location written on it, but nothing changed.
Meeting place and time. That’s all it says.
‘I never thought they wouldn’t reveal any information… … .’
Usually, when a mission is given, information about it is also delivered.
What is the mission, how many people are there, who is the commander, and where is the destination?
However, in this mission, no such information was provided.
The only thing that was known was that it was a ‘subjugation’ mission. That’s all.
‘There is a good reason for keeping it secret until the day of the summons… … .’
Considering that they were gathering at the western end of the empire, it seemed certain that they were leaving the empire.
But this cannot be said to be information.
Missions that cross borders are more common than you might think.
‘Well, you’ll find out when you go.’
The first order to summon a punitive force full of questions.
I wasn’t afraid. Although he is a 7-star knight, he has not only completed one or two missions.
When they almost reached their destination, Kiel could feel the presence of people.
“Who are you?”
“It’s a gutter rat. “You must be Kiel.”
A seal fell from the tree.
“Please present your name plate.”
Kiel took out the nameplate from his pocket and threw it.
It was a nameplate given to me when I accepted this mission, and it was a nameplate with the emperor’s seal.
‘I expected it to be a big deal, but it’s a mission that even includes a sewage rat… … ‘It doesn’t feel good.’
Gutter rat.
They are not dirty people as their name suggests. However, they are beings that you don’t want to be associated with.
‘Because they even know the number of spoons in my family.’
It’s not a metaphor, it’s something that really happened.
A document that was accidentally leaked into the noble world. The number of spoons and utensils in each mansion was written there.
I knew that gutters collect all kinds of information, but why are they counting spoons?
The noble world did not understand and was filled with fear.
This is because the number of spoons in the person’s home and the number of spoons in the document match exactly.
“Your identity has been confirmed. “You can go in there.”
“Make it hard.”
Kiel knows full well that the rats are working for the empire.
It is also the duty of nobles to praise them.
Nod-.
The rat lowered its head and disappeared in an instant.
‘… … Five people. ‘No, is it more than that?’
This won’t be the only entrance. So, that means it was a mission that involved at least a dozen street rats.
Kiel became more and more curious about the details of the mission.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Inside the forest, there were several guests who arrived before him.
A table that doesn’t fit in the forest. Refreshments and food and drinks placed on it.
Kiel picked up a water bottle and glanced around to look around.
Red comet, blue reaper, white kite… … .
‘Even Ottone, the hero of Latra? This is beyond my imagination… … .’
What the people gathered here had in common was simple.
They are all just people living in the empire.
They were also people who had recently made a name for themselves.
‘Is it at least a 6-star knight level or higher? … It probably means that the people I don’t know are even more than that.’
The western edge of the empire.
There was only one reason why such powerful people gathered in this corner of the village.
‘I guess it’s to participate in the same punitive force as me.’
It’s definitely full of great guys. But Kiehl was not intimidated.
This is because he was confident that he was strong and that he was confident in his own abilities.
The fact that he was here supported that claim.
‘Let’s make a name for ourselves. ‘Everyone is under me!’
The red comet has been blocked by the 7-star wall for a long time, the blue reaper is low on mana, and the white kite is mystified!
Ottone, the hero of Latra… … .
There were no flaws. But he is no better than that.
It was a time when I was internally criticizing other people.
“What, it’s Kiehl’s? “Have you decided to participate in this punitive force?”
“… … Edwin. “It’s been a while.”
“nice to meet! Why are they so quiet here… … “I felt like I was really going crazy.”
‘I know. Kiehl, who was about to say, ‘I feel like I’m going crazy looking at you,’ shut her mouth tightly.
Violetta’s black shooter, Edwin.
Although his words and actions were somewhat fair, he was someone whose skill with a bow was something that we had no choice but to acknowledge.
The problem is that you talk too much and can’t understand the mood?
‘It’s hard to pretend to be friends just because we went on a mission or two together!’
He is also a nobleman, but if he hangs out with someone who does not seem like a nobleman, his value will drop.
“Oh, look at that white bow. Is this Sasha, the white kite I’ve only heard about through rumors? “I want to compete.”
“… … “I can hear everything.”
“What’s wrong with what you hear? “Isn’t it a nuisance to say you want to fight?”
It’s a nuisance! That’s also a huge nuisance!
It was a time when Kiel was desperately trying to distance himself from Edwin.
“Wow, wow! hey! Kiel! “Look over there!”
“Who on earth are you making such a fuss about?” … !”
But Kiel could not help but tremble.
Do something to yourself… … No, it is something that needs to be opened.
‘Lu, the eldest daughter of the Lucid family, Lucia!’
Dark blue hair that looks like stars in the night sky, a youthful appearance that makes it hard to believe she’s in her thirties, and an appearance that can only be described as beautiful.
Kiel’s heart began to pound.
A noble party held a few years ago.
I first saw Lucia from afar, that very day.
Kiel fell in love without realizing it.
‘You have become more beautiful. If Lucia and I can get married… … .’
Love is love, but not only will your family’s status rise, but your own position will also rise significantly.
‘I have to say hello somehow… … .’
It was a time when Kiel was worried.
“Are you the commander of this mission? “Let’s go say hello!”
“Bah, don’t be stupid, Edwin!”
But Edwin was busy running towards Lucia.
Kiel followed Edwin, shouting ‘Nice!’ in his mind.
He made an expression as if there was nothing he could do about it.
“Lucia! hello!”
“huh? Okay, hi. “What was your name?”
“This is Edwin. Was it about 3 years ago? “I saw him once.”
“Ah, I guess so. “I remember seeing the bow.”
Edwin casually greets Lucia.
Kiehl did not miss the opportunity. He said, putting his hand on Edwin’s shoulder.
“Edwin, it’s rude to run and shout like that.”
“huh? is it?”
“Anyway, you… … . Lucia, I’m sorry. “My friend was rude.”
“huh? Kiel, you once said we could never be friends… … .”
“We are friends. “It’s been like that from the beginning.”
“Kiel, you bastard… … !”
It even appeals to politeness, friendship, and gentleness(?).
Although it was unfortunate that he recognized Edwin as a friend, it would have been nice if he could form a relationship with Lucia.
“What is rudeness…?” … . it’s okay. Rather, who are you?”
“This is Kiel, the third son of the Jackfield family. “It’s a shame, but people call him ‘Kiel of the Balgum.’”
“… … “Balgum?”
“Yes, it’s my main skill. I think it’s comparable to the Leicester family’s ‘Ilsom’. ha ha ha!”
Wiggle-.
Lucia’s eyebrows twitched strangely.
‘To the boldness of lightly crushing a traitorous family. Wow, even Lucia can’t help but be interested.’
What if you fall in love with yourself?
It was when Kiehl was so self-absorbed.
“try.”
“yes?”
“Try it.”
Kiel was momentarily taken aback, but soon took a stance by placing his hand on the sword handle.
This was because it was a great opportunity to showcase the skills that had been independently honed in front of Lucia.
Kiehl’s first original Biggie.
One sword.
Kagagagak-!
Coogung-!
Several trees fell, raising dust.
All that remained on Kiel’s path with his sword was the base of a pure white tree.
“Hwiyu~ You’ve become stronger than then, right?”
Edwin wasn’t the only one who was impressed. Everyone in this place was looking at Kiel with admiration.
“It’s no big deal. “There is still a long way to go.”
“is it? In my eyes, it’s just amazing. “I heard Kiehl’s is amazing, right?”
Kiel smiled to himself. Edwin this guy. Now that I see it, I see that the skill of giving praise is really quite good.
That was when Kiehl was trying to control his facial expression as much as possible.
“Yeah, it was a long way. “I have to work hard.”
“yes?”
“too slow. “More than anyone I know.”
Kiel’s eyebrows fluttered.
Not just slow, but too slow?
I just couldn’t admit it.
“You seem dissatisfied. Then why don’t you try it with me?”
“Lucia, I am a 7-star knight. No matter how strong Lucia is… … .”
“Pull it out. “Stop talking nonsense.”
Noise?
At this point, Kiel couldn’t stand it anymore.
He took a stance towards Lucia.
‘Okay, just make them admit it. ‘It’s making you see me as a man!’
Although it contains minor emotions, Kiel is a 7-star knight. He never had his sword tremble due to emotion.
Kiel ran and drew his sword. but.
Tooung!
“W-what is it?”
“You didn’t cut anything?”
“You couldn’t draw your sword just now? “Are you scared?”
Amid people’s various conversations, Kiehl broke into a cold sweat.
What they said was wrong. I did draw my sword. however… … .
‘The half-drawn sword… … It’s back in its scabbard.’
But that was all Kiel knew. Why did the sword come back? I didn’t know why.
“I hit it and put it back.”
“yes?”
“I hit your sword with my fist and put it back.”
Only after a short silence did everyone realize.
Lucia struck the handle of the sword he was drawing with her fist, making it impossible to draw it.
Although the question ‘Is that possible?’ came to mind at the same time.
“The biggest weakness of Baldosul is its posture. “Everyone knows that you are going to perform a foot massage, but who is waiting for you?”
“Well, then what should I do?”
“You have to pull it out quickly.”
“yes?”
“You just have to pick it so quickly that the other person can’t react even if they know. “It’s simple, right?”
… … Is that simple?
But Kiel had no choice but to bow his head.
“Joe, thank you for the advice. I will do my best.”
“okay. Well, I commend you for practicing your swordsmanship. You said it was the Jackfield family, right? “I think there’s quite a bit I can take from my family’s swordsmanship.”
Kiel’s feelings after receiving Lucia’s guidance, albeit briefly, were mysterious.
It was nice to meet Lucia, but she ended up showing poor skills.
However, I felt like I could improve my swordsmanship shortcomings.
Instead, he failed to appear as a man. Isn’t this the relationship between teacher and student?
‘What kind of situation is this?’
It was a time when I could barely resist the urge to tear my hair out.
The surroundings became quiet. No, it went beyond being quiet and became tinged with silence.
“hmm?”
It was only then that Kiel raised his head and saw it.
A man with sinisterly shining eyes, a face covered in scars, and a size that seemed to be twice his size.
The face of Charon, the imperial rat.
“Ka, Karon? Why are you here… … .”
“You don’t know why people gathered here? “I didn’t think he was someone who couldn’t understand the situation.”
“Well, that’s not what I meant… … .”
Kiehl was not the only one in confusion.
Everyone here is in shock.
‘Well, I have to carry out a mission with that monster?’
‘Then the leader of this subjugation is Charon?’
‘Three, oh my!’
The ferocity of a man named Charon.
Adults knew better than students.
As well as the events on the battlefield, what happened behind the scenes.
This was because I was well aware of rumors and information about him.
Even Edwin, who spoke so much, had a gray face.
“Oh, hello uncle? long time no see.”
Lucia was the only one who could approach Charon.
“… … “It’s probably been a while.”
“Winning a pun is more important than keeping a secret? Anyway, it’s nasty.”
Lucia grunted.
Information that he stayed at Annwood Academy for a month.
Because there were so many eyes watching, it wasn’t classified information, but it was still information about the location of Lucia, one of the Empire’s most powerful forces.
‘But you’re revealing it so openly.’
There was no way Charon didn’t know this.
In other words, what Charon did now was simply grumpy.
It was natural for Lucia’s mouth to pout.
“I must have told you hundreds of times not to let others read your emotions.”
“I’ve told you a thousand times that I only act like this in front of people I don’t like.”
Puzzle-!
A spark flew between Lucia and Charon.
People who saw that thought.
Maybe this subjugation war.
Maybe we should worry more about our allies than our opponents.
