Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid - Chapter 111



111 – 27. rise (2)

After leaving defense personnel in case of emergency.

Shien led and moved to the reinforcements from the nearby territory in the north.

Since the situation was so serious, there were several family heads who directly participated in the war like Shien.

Or, even if they could not directly participate in the war, they sent a corresponding person.

One’s successor, or a knight who is said to be the strongest in the territory.

Or as a person who is respected by people as much as the lord.

“Welcome, Lord Derry.”

“Nogisa sees the Lichtenauer family.”

Lord Derry, who had led the knights and soldiers this time, was a good example.

“I didn’t know you would go there yourself.”

“ha ha ha. Even though it is old, it can cut a few monsters.”

“I guess so. He was the one who was the sword of His Majesty the Emperor.”

Lord Derry burst out laughing at Shien’s joke.

However, he smiles soon and focuses on the immediate situation.

“How much is the Northern Union?”

“Some parts were summoned in a hurry, and since the defense personnel were also removed, it will only be 5,000 in total.”

“That’s enough. Rather, there are soldiers in an ambiguous state. Packing with regular bottles is the most important thing. This is especially the case with the 2nd-class Demonic Realm.”

Sir Derry’s face was full of tension as he said that.

A veteran who must have gone through many battles while staying by the emperor’s side for a long time.

It was certainly a big deal that even Lord Derry was so nervous.

“Well, I feel a little relieved.”

Lord Derry looked at Adele, who was standing next to Shien.

Those eyes said, ‘Thank you again this time.’ seemed to say

“I will stand by Shien-sama.”

Adele, however, gave an answer that Lord Derry had not expected.

That Adele, the first wolf of Wolfheddin, would stand in the back with the Witchbeast in front?

I almost thought about how to stop him from rushing because my eyes were turned upside down right away.

Conversely, he says he will never leave his family.

If this is not a huge thing, what is it?

‘If His Majesty had seen this scene right now, she would have jumped up and liked it.’

Thinking so, Lord Derry led his subordinates and went under Shien.

Thanks to the selection of each skilled soldier from the northern territory, the advance was very fast.

In addition to that, the Northern Road led by Shien played a big role.

Bondi army is not a group that can go on any road randomly.

In order to avoid losing power during the march, you must move on a clear ‘road’.

In addition, if you think about the movement of the carts that will follow you.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this road was truly a divine move.

“I didn’t foresee this situation, but… Lord Lichtenau. Thanks to that, the march is very smooth.”

“That is what I mean. Originally, at this time, there are concussions here and there, so it gets really difficult.”

At the words of various nobles, Shien just smiled.

Hearing the compliment made me feel a little embarrassed.

Also, it felt good to know that the work he had pushed hard for had benefited him.

Thanks to this, the Northern Allies arrived at a much faster time than expected.

Even the Imperial Army, which had built a defensive line, arrived at an unexpected time.

Shien and several northern lords entered the commander’s barracks.

And after a while, three commanders appeared, each accompanied by a lieutenant.

“Welcome, Lord Lichtenauer. This is Marcas, commander of the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army.”

“This is Terot, commander of the 15th Army.”

Among them, there was a face I hadn’t seen in a long time.

“I’ll see you again, my lord. This is Runstadt, commander of the 7th Army.”

“Nice to meet you, Commander Markas, Commander Therot. And I can’t see Commander Runenstadt for the first time in a while. How have you been?”

I have no intention of showing off my personal connections or forming a clique.

However, I can be a little more happy because I have been with him for a short time before.

“yes. We had a good time.”

“I never thought I would see you here again.”

“The Imperial Army that can move the fastest in the vicinity was the 7th Army under my command. So I hurriedly led my troops and came all the way here. I am not very old either.”

Having said that, Runnstadt stepped aside.

It was time to say goodbye and do our part.

His position was originally filled by Derot, commander of the 15th Army, which was in charge of the area.

“Sit down, Lord Lichtenauer. I will explain the current situation.”

Shien and each lord take their seats.

Afterwards, Commander Derot opened a map of the area and went into a briefing.

“As everyone knows, the current seven second-class Demonic Landscapes and one unconfirmed Demonic Realm are right here. It is seated here. Demonic beasts are gathered around this place. It happened too suddenly, and since several Demonic Scenes occurred, I expected that the Demonic Beasts would spread all over the place. So I searched the whole area, but there was not even a trace of it.”

“I heard about him. You all seem to have suffered a lot.”

“Thank you for your words, but in fact the Imperial Army didn’t have much of an impact.”

Then Shien and the other lords widened their eyes.

In response to the sudden response of what kind of nonsense this is, Commander Derot continued.

“Of course, the performance of our Imperial forces helped us build a defense line and form a siege to prevent them from escaping. But, crucially, it was possible because the monsters didn’t spread out in all directions in search of prey, but because they didn’t move from there.”

“Are you saying that the monsters didn’t scatter everywhere?”

“yes. Lord Lichtenau. Reports have even come in that they’ve been fighting each other for a while now. It’s not just one or two fights, it’s like a group from one demon scene and a group from another demon scene fighting each other to death.”

Commander Therot’s words further stunned the people gathered at the table.

Occasionally, there are cases where demon beasts fight with each other to prey on their own kind.

However, it was limited to a fellow countryman who was seriously injured and could not do anything about it.

There had never been a fight between groups on such a large scale as now.

They should also know that there is no point in wasting energy on pointless quarrels.

It was even more strange to fight with humans right in front of them.

“This is incomprehensible.”

Cien took the lead and represented the hearts of the people in the prefecture.

“I am also very embarrassed. However, if you put together the incoming reports, they all agree without a single mistake. The movements of the monsters now are completely different from before.”

After talking with the commanders, Shien returned to the commander’s barracks on the Lichtenauer side.

“My lord.”

“How have you been?”

The Commander of the Knights of Brenda, the Captain of the Laskan Guards, and many other retainers who had followed him this far.

All of them approach Shien and ask about the situation.

From nob le mt l. co m

Maybe it’s worse than they thought.

They were worried that this hell would affect the north.

“Once the defense line collapsed, there was no attack.”

“I’m glad. I am very fortunate.”

“By the way, I have a little more to say about that part.”

Afterwards, Shien informed his vassals of the current situation.

Obviously, the magic beasts were able to move a little more actively by taking advantage of the darkness.

There’s not a single hint of that, and they’re even fighting each other.

“… Are you sure?”

Captain Rascal asked in disbelief.

He knew because he had dealt with many demons.

Demon beasts also have clear goals, so don’t commit fratricide.

It meant that I wouldn’t waste my energy before fighting.

“They say they’ve already checked several times.”

“That is strange. It’s so strange. It’s not the stupid 5th grade monsters that have appeared now, and the 2nd grade monsters are killing and killing each other.”

“Aren’t they unaware that the Imperial Army has arrived right in front of them?”

“That won’t be it. Even if they move secretly, they are aware of everything, and there’s no way the Imperial Army couldn’t have sensed the commotion while they were defending.”

Seeing Xien’s words, everyone gathered at the table became worried faces.

It was a natural reaction because something incomprehensible was happening.

“First of all, this is good news for the empire. If they had attacked, we would have had to fight right away, but we were doing that to buy time before other reinforcements arrived.”

“Do you think more reinforcements are coming?”

“I heard that the imperial armies in the vicinity are already on the move, and that His Majesty the Emperor has even declared his own government.”

The emperor, no one else, moves directly.

In other words, it meant that the Imperial Knights, the best force in the Empire, would come.

“First of all, let’s all go and rest for a while. You never know when the situation will change and you will have to fight right away. It would be good to arrange your stamina even a little bit.”

“I understand, my lord. If not, we will leave first.”

“May the lord get some rest soon. I’ll just go.”

The retainers left one by one, and now only Adele was left.

“Adele.”

“Yes, Shien.”

“How do you see it?”

Adele must be an expert on the Witchbeast more than anyone else.

So Shien asked, but the answer that came back was as expected.

“… I also can’t be certain yet.”

This situation was something that even Adele had never seen before.
