Sword Master Who Leapt Through Time - Chapter 36

#36 Flowering

To make Operation Lightning a success, a total of three regiments were needed.

As the 1st Regiment led by Lansen advances deep into the center of the border,

The 2nd Regiment led by Katrina is guarding the route.

Katrina’s voice resonated through the changes.

“Listen carefully! If our 2nd Regiment is defeated, the 1st Regiment will wither away! Think of each of your lives as two lives on your shoulders! Defend this place! Secure the supply route to the 1st Regiment!”

“under!”

“First, second, third. Squadrons! Diagonal formation in front!”

“under!”

The enemy that is coming is Taraeok.

They were monsters with an average height of nearly 2 meters and muscles like gorillas.

From the hand, dense blood vessels sprouted and intertwined tightly to form weapons such as axes and hammers. It was called ‘Tara-oak’ because the thin blood vessels sprouted like threads.

There is a theory that in ancient times, the Orcs themselves were a civilized race, but now they are nothing more than a bunch of slaughter-crazed demons.

That’s why the tactics Lancen created worked so well.

“I can hold on!”

“Lighter than Katrina!”

“That’s right! During training, the regimental commander pushed me and made me roll over!”

The common soldiers who were taking on the attacks of the powerful demon Taraeok from the front could not hide their surprise at their accomplishment.

“What! Are you telling me I’m heavy right now?!”

“Oh, no!”

“You all remembered!”

“Eek!”

Katrina was a bit taken aback by the different angle, but she definitely read the situation.

“The enemies are scattered! Let’s go! Charge! Follow me!”

A group of Taraoks were annihilated after being caught in a diagonal formation. Katrina herself rode a horse and led the charge of the heavy cavalry, swinging her lance.

Doo doo doo doo doo-!

Originally, he was a Taraoke with incredible strength that could even block a horse’s charge with his bare body, but now that he has scattered everywhere, it is impossible.

Even Katrina was at the forefront of clearing the way.

As the cavalry charged, the Taraoks fell like fallen autumn leaves.

Meanwhile, the 3rd Regiment, led by Rivera, was assigned the role of defending the city and trade routes.

“Wow… … . This is a mess.”

As the 1st and 2nd Regiments led by Lancen and Katrina stirred up the border, small demons who were surprised by it poured out of the border.

“Shoot! Keep shooting! You trained for this day! Shoot with confidence!”

The main force of the 3rd Regiment is the archers.

The soldiers had to protest without any time to breathe.

“When are you going to fire all the arrows you have left after shooting like that? Don’t stop! Hey! I told you not to shoot far away?! Zero-range fire! Shoot directly at those who come within 40 paces! Quickly! The moment you slow down, we’ll all die!”

Wedge!

The sound of an arrow piercing the air rang in my ears.

A hand as big as a wild dog, a hand like a chimpanzee.

As they shot down the endless stream of small arrows one by one, the archers’ shots became faster and more precise little by little.

of course,

Whether it was Katrina’s 2nd Regiment or Rivera’s 3rd Regiment, they were engaged in fierce battles, but they could not compare to the 1st Regiment led by Lanzen.

Because they were in the middle of a change, fighting against demons coming from all directions.

“Left, a gluttonous mammoth approaches from the left!”

“Calceric!”

“Yes! I will remove it!”

“A group of cobras are approaching on the right!”

“Look Lancer!”

“Ha! Shinsaldae, let’s go!”

“Eek! There’s a magpie behind you! This is… …!”

“Okay! I’ll take care of that!”

Enemies keep coming.

Even different monsters attacked from all sides at the same time.

Even Lansen and Calceric handed over their command to the front lines and rushed into the battlefield, and the Shinsaldae (迅殺隊), a ‘fast killing unit’ consisting of six high-level experts, also went into action.

Yes. The Shinsaldae have been dispatched.

Catch Soroa, who was fighting hard in the middle of the battlefield, saw the sight.

Catch Soroah.

A 21-year-old youth who has lost his motivation.

He spent his days endlessly belittling himself and crawling into a deep cave of despair.

Honestly, I really didn’t want to go on this expedition.

But Lansen reluctantly followed his brother’s orders.

It was really hard to refuse Lansen’s words. Because he was there, I had endured that scary and painful childhood, because he was there, I had survived, and because I just liked him.

It wasn’t just Catchman, but the entire Lancun family was like that.

So the catch was even more desperate.

‘Salzland… … .’

Among the running Shinsaldae, he saw his younger brother, Salzlan, who was one year younger than him.

And then he saw himself. He was just a captain of 100 men.

His younger brother, Salzlan, is in the Shinsaltai, a group of only high-level experts, but he himself is not in the Sanmatai, but rather a group of 100 heavily armed soldiers.

‘In the end, even Brother Lansen… …doesn’t trust my strength?’

I wanted to help.

There was a time when I really wanted to be someone who could support that big, broad back with all their might.

At least I wanted to be a big brother who would protect my younger brother Geppetto like Lanzen does for everyone else… … .

I thought I had already given up, but I felt so sad all over again.

I want to fight well too… …!

Why don’t I have any talent… … !

I want to cut it.

me too.

Like Salzland, like Lansen.

I want to fight. I want to protect.

Woof-

yes-!

For some reason, the sword kept crying.

Even that was annoying.

“Huh! The central army is collapsing! 100 captains! Defend the formation!”

At the command of the squadron commander who happened to be hitting his ear, Catch stepped forward.

“Switch to the sword room! Push the Taraeoks back!”

Since the dense formation had already collapsed due to the brute force of the Taraeok, it was judged that a sword and shield would be better than a spear and shield.

But in any case, the soldiers alone could not push back Taraeok.

Here, Catch Soroa. His role was important.

He had to take the lead and turn the situation around.

Yeah, for now.

The moment when ‘I’ am needed, and no one else is needed.

Let’s fight.

“after……!”

Even though it was a small thing, Catch gripped his sword tightly, thinking that he could still do his part.

Catch Soroa, who always took training lightly.

The moment when he finally decided to ‘cut’ after a long time,

Woohoo-!

The sword roared loudly.

Why? At this moment, the conversation with Lansen hyung, who used to beat me up so relentlessly during training, comes to mind.

‘Why on earth are you being hit?’

‘… … It hits you when you hit it.’

‘No. Your sword is telling you how not to get hit.’

‘… … ?’

‘Fight a little. Stop running away. The sword is trying to fight, but you just keep running away, so you won’t listen.’

At that time, I wondered what that meant… …

Kwajik!

Swish!

Choaack!

Suddenly I felt like I knew.

My eyes brighten up.

Everything is visible.

It’s as if the sword tells you where to stab and how to cut.

Catch Soroa was completely absorbed.

It’s been a long time.

It was as if I completely forgot myself while swinging my sword.

I judged it as soon as I saw it and reached out my hand following the trembling of the sword.

Oh my god!

Bam!

The horde of Taraoqs that had been advancing without hesitation began to be torn apart.

Wow! Wow!

2.5 meters. Among the Taraeoks, a particularly large one appeared with a roar. An elite demon. A difficult opponent that even an expert intermediate level would have difficulty facing.

Chaechang! Crunch!

The catch was cut in just three shots.

The two swords extended elaborately, forcing Taraeok into a specific stance, and at that moment, the lightning-quick sword was sucked into the orc’s weak point.

“Don’t dig! It’s dangerous! Back off! Dig in… … Huh? Can I dig in?”

The dance that Catch was showing now was enough to make even the commander who had been shouting at him to step back lose his cool.

Catch heard nothing, was completely absorbed, and just kept moving forward, the stern horde of orcs cutting through him.

When the blood vessels of the Taraeok were entangled and the red axe or hammer was caught by the sword of the catch, it was easily cut like a fruit. This was despite the fact that it was originally a tough weapon that even an intermediate expert would have to hit three or four times to break.

“Sword Demon… … .”

“It’s a sword… … .”

The soldiers who had been following him stopped watching at some point.

A different taste from the fear brought by a strong aura.

A lightning-quick sword that cuts through gaps. A lightning-quick technique that tramples between enemies.

Movements that make it seem like every moment is a feat.

And the blade is ridiculously sharp.

How high can a human’s swordsmanship reach?

It was a wonderful sight.

Crunch. Crunch, crunch!

How much time has passed?

Catch, who was cutting down the tareok without any care, suddenly realized that there was no one around.

“ah……?”

All you can see are the corpses of the Tarai Orcs.

and,

“It’s over. Inma.”

“Brother Lansen?”

When did he come? Lansen, drenched in the monster’s blood, tapped Catch on the shoulder and winked.

“You did it. Congratulations.”

“huh?”

I followed the gaze and saw my own sword.

An unidentified aura was rising above the silver sword aura.

“It’s called the Sword. It’s a secret technique that I learned ten thousand years ago. As expected, you were the fastest?”

“ah…….”

Catch looking at his sword in a daze.

Lansen grabbed his shoulder and looked him in the eye.

“Catch. Listen carefully. You’re talented. And incredibly talented.

Those words made my throat feel tight.

“brother…….”

Lansen tousled Catch’s silver hair.

“You say you have no talent. That’s ridiculous. I knew it at first glance.”

At that time, Catch had this thought.

ah,

Me too… … I’m useful.

I guess I can protect someone.

The corners of his mouth were dizzy with tears and laughter.

So everyone,

Each one,

He developed his talents through fierce fighting.

* * *

One day, two days, three days… … .

Time passed steadily even in hell.

The center of change was terrifying day and night.

After fighting all day, we finally took turns going to sleep at dawn.

Whenever I had time, I exchanged messages with Sea, who remained in Kushan City.

Woohoo-!

Sea’s message floats in blue letters above the bracelet-shaped message artifact.

This is also a treasure of the Banroa royal family brought in with a subspace necklace.

– As I said before, I sent a letter to the Sea King Jafar and received a positive response. He also does not want the Gale King’s power to grow.

In conclusion, Jafar’s army will be training near Ailun every day. This will be enough to restrain the Gale King’s movements for a while. If we hurry as planned, it will be no problem to take control of Kushan and Kinalo first.

– The castle is doing fine today. Uncle Rivera is defending the small demons well, and Oppa Varen is taking care of the free fighters who sometimes act up in the castle without knowing what’s going on.

But Catch oppa caused the ancient sword? When I told Katrina and Varen oppa that news, they were in an uproar. Katrina oppa said to wait and see and that she would be there soon, and Varen oppa didn’t say anything but his eyes turned fierce. Well, in conclusion, I think it turned out well. They’ll both work harder.

– No problem today. The number of small demons flowing out has decreased significantly. I can feel that the subjugation is coming to an end. I’ll be back soon.

Everyone says that they’ve become more free with their swords these days. It looks like your training is having some effect.

– It seems like Baren Oppa has gotten used to swinging his sword without using his Aura. He patrols around the city all day long with his real sword drawn. He beats up warriors who cause trouble so savagely that he’s nicknamed ‘Baren the Night-Blooded’.

“Pfft.”

It’s the Baren of the Snowball.

I ended up laughing without any resistance.

Well, even though he seemed like he was annoyed by everything, he had that side to him.

Should I say that I am obsessed with the area?

He was so careful about the places he thought were his territory, like a ferocious cat. Now he thinks the entire Kushan City is his territory.

It seems like he also has some fun with ancient swordsmanship.

“Ha… … . I miss you.”

As I read the message, I felt like I wanted to go back quickly.

The past week has felt like a year, and I’ve been missing home.

okay.

It’s already been almost a week.

It was a short time, but it was long, long.

The last break was just about to end.

I stood up and shouted at the soldiers who had been tattered for the past six days.

He gave the order that everyone had been eagerly waiting for.

“Get up! It’s time to go home!”

“oh?”

“Ohhh!”

“Wow!”

Soldiers rejoicing that this hell is finally over.

“There might be an attack on the way back. Stay alert! I won’t let anyone get killed or injured here.”

“under!”

Operation Lightning.

We successfully completed that crazy operation to wipe out the demons and return in just one week.

Now I’m going home.

When I get back, I’ll have to make plans to conquer Kashish, and I’ll be incredibly busy.

Right now, I just like the fact itself.

Go back.

To the house where my family and siblings are waiting.
