The Immortal Genius Spearman (145)
The night sea has a strange charm.

A dizzying feeling as if you’ll be swallowed just by looking at it.

The deep, unfathomable darkness stimulated the primal fears of humans.

And above the warships that were roughly advancing above it, there stood a being with red hair and eyes that were darker than the color of his hair, with a blunt expression.

A man standing firm and looking straight ahead even on a deck that is shaking quite a bit.

The Empire’s Second Auror Master.

It was Calon Xanthos.

He saw the northern coast of the Artian Kingdom slowly coming into view.

Along with that, the sound of a bell ringing from the coast guard direction.

At that sound, other adjutants approached and said.

“It seems they noticed us.”

“I guess I’ll be able to take a look at the Ballista of the Artian Kingdom.”

The Artian Kingdom, surrounded on three sides by the sea, is thoroughly prepared for enemies coming through the sea.

One of those countermeasures, ‘Balista’, was one of Artian’s prides.

An anti-aircraft weapon that fires giant arrows that are over 5 meters long.

No matter how large the ship was, it would not be able to withstand a few arrows from a ballista without sinking.

However, the soldiers of the empire were looking at the coast of the Artian Kingdom with quite relaxed expressions.

The Artian Kingdom soldiers were already busy moving, and it seemed like a ballista would fly in any minute.

and.

“Lord Calon.”

His subordinate, who had confirmed that the anti-siege weapon, the ballista, was ready from afar, looked at Calon and said.

Calon then approached the deck with a blank expression and looked at it.

A ballista that is clearly visible even from this great distance.

It seemed to directly show how large the scale was.

Calon looked at Ballista without saying a word. And then.

Boom!

With a huge explosion, the ballista’s arrows flew towards the warship.

It was the lead captain’s ship that Calon was riding on.

“… … I’ll go to the shore first, so follow me as fast as you can.”

“All right.”

Adjutant Breman gave a short answer. And at the same time.

Pavat!

Calon, who was standing at the front of the warship, flew towards the incoming ballista’s arrows.

and.

chin!

Let’s strike down the flying arrow with our feet.

Kwajik!

The thick arrow broke in half in an instant and sank into the sea.

Calon used the momentum from kicking Ballista’s arrows to fly into the air.

Suaaaaaaah!

It flew straight towards the shore.

It was a distance of at least tens of meters, but with just two jumps, he landed at the edge of the beach.

Bam.

“Hey, what is that?”

“A bird? Or a wizard? What?!”

“Hey, the enemy has fallen onto the shore!”

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Artian could not hide their bewilderment at the sudden appearance of the enemy army alone.

Isn’t that obvious?

The warships are still far away, so how come only one enemy has reached here?

Moreover, they did not come by swimming or by taking a small boat.

‘… … You flew in?’

And stepping on an arrow from a ballista that’s been shot away?

At that moment, the eyes of the Coast Guard Captain, Homunt, shook greatly.

Although they were very small clues, they helped me figure out what kind of person he was.

‘Physical abilities that surpass humans… … .’

“Oh, it’s the Auror Master! Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow!”

Then Homun shouted urgently.

And at the same time with that command.

Jajajajajajajajajak!

The archers, who had been preparing to draw their bows, poured concentrated fire on Calon, who had come up to the shore.

Suaaaaaaah!

Hundreds of arrows were fired, focused solely on Calon.

An attack so dense that you can’t even think about leaving any room to escape.

A dizzying number of arrows flew out, but Calon simply drew his sword and raised his aura.

Puaaaaaaah!

A huge flame began to wrap around Calon’s body, flickering like a snake’s tongue.

The flames of hell that burn everything.

The heat was so intense that even the sand around them was melting and burning.

and.

Boohoo!

Calon swung his sword lightly towards the front. However, the power contained within was by no means light.

Puaaaaaaaaaah!

The flames stretched forward, consuming and burning all the incoming arrows.

Whoosh whoosh!

The arrow that was swallowed by Calon’s aura evaporated into thin air without leaving even a trace.

The remaining arrows were stuck in the sand far away from Calon.

“Uh, that’s coming… … ?”

The Coast Guard was left speechless by the aura unleashed by the enemy Aura Master.

How can that be something that one human being can do?

Has a legendary dragon descended?

“Shoot, shoot! The Aura can’t be used continuously anyway! If you use it a few more times, the author will no longer be able to use the Aura!”

An aura with the appearance of blood-red flames piercing through the darkness.

The author is the famous Second Auror Master of the Empire, Calon Xanthos.

In terms of cool-headedness, isn’t he the best of the four Auror Masters and the one who is called a murder weapon?

At Homun’s urgent command, the archers took up arms again and aimed at Calon.

But no more time was given to them.

Pfft!

The sand rose high above where Calon had been.

“… … !”

“Oh, it’s gone!”

In an instant, Calon’s figure disappeared.

It was especially difficult to track his movements as the darkness had fallen on the coast.

But soon I was able to figure out Calon’s location.

Crunch!

“Kuaaaah!”

Right side of the Coast Guard.

Kalon, who had dug in there without realizing it, quickly and accurately began slaughtering the coast guard soldiers of the Artian Kingdom.

The sword was so fast that it was swung right before my eyes, but I couldn’t see it.

Chomp!

The soldiers of the Artian Kingdom are being treated mercilessly.

Homunt quickly gave orders to his soldiers and surrounded Calon.

No matter how much of an Auror Master he is, he is still human.

The limits of your physical strength will come, and the sword you swing will become heavier and heavier.

“Even if I lose all my soldiers, if I can kill you… …!”

The surrounding soldiers all finished preparing their javelins and looked at Calon.

A look in his eyes that clearly shows his determination to kill the guy here.

Everyone looked at Calon with the same thought. But then.

“… … It’s a little late.”

“what?”

Homunt frowned as Calon muttered.

What the… … all of a sudden.

Suaaaaaaah!

Then, with a piercing sound that pierced the eardrums, Homunculus turned his head to the side.

And at that moment.

Phew!

With a dull sound, a spear plunged into the chest of the adjutant next to Homun.

dump.

Homun’s gaze turned to the shore at the sight of the adjutant dying without even being able to scream once.

Before we knew it, enemy warships had anchored off the coast, and countless imperial soldiers had disembarked from their ships and taken control of the coast.

“……crazy.”

The moment when a nightmare-like reality unfolds before your eyes.

“Let’s clean this place up completely before the sun rises.”

“yes!”

At Calon’s command, the Empire’s soldiers began to rush towards the Artian Kingdom’s soldiers like a tidal wave.

And that day.

As Calon had said, by the time the sun rose, there was not a single soldier of the Artian Kingdom still alive on the coast.

* * *

It was a sudden, devastating news.

The conference room of the Baroque kingdom.

The Prime Minister of the Baroque Kingdom, Mathurz Jankov, who was sitting at the center of the table while the emergency meeting was called, spoke with a stern expression.

“I think everyone knows about the disaster that occurred in the Kingdom of Artian without me having to tell you.”

“… … .”

An empire that had previously only moved soldiers by land suddenly launched an invasion by sea.

Previously, warships had moved west of the Baroque Kingdom, but this was completely different from the usual actions of making threats and then turning back.

“Besides, the one who attacked the Artian Kingdom was none other than Calon Xanthos.”

“What did you say?”

“Kalon Xanthos? Are you referring to the Second Auror Master of the Empire?”

To the ministers’ questions, Matheus nodded with a heavy expression.

Up until now, Galberon, including Fiaren, had been on the battlefield, but the situation was very different from that.

Because the weight that Alexander and Calon carry in the empire is arguably on par with that of the Emperor.

It means that Calon has come forward.

“It is safe to say that all preparations are now complete.”

So far, it’s just been a quick taste.

There were a few failures, but the Empire didn’t pay much attention to them because the attacks weren’t that powerful.

It was simply a battle to test how much resistance the other kingdoms could put up against them.

But the fact that Calon had come forward meant that all of that preparation was now complete.

“The main force of the empire will move. Just like 19 years ago… … back then.”

“… … .”

“… …Fuck.”

Those present remembered the great war the empire had waged 19 years ago.

How can I not know?

That war caused the entire continent to become a sea of ​​fire.

And now… … .

“And that war is about to start again.”

“We have to stop it.”

“We must join hands with all the surrounding kingdoms to block the Empire’s advance. We cannot afford to go through the same hell any longer.”

The ministers spoke in unison.

Now is not the time to be picky about means and methods.

At that, Mateus nodded.

“I have to figure out a way.”

As fast as possible.

The ministers present nodded at those words.

* * *

Upon arriving at Balfate, Damian went straight to find Leonhark.

Damien, who had been worrying about the direction of the unit even while coming from Miltobern to Balpate,

“Instructor, I have something to tell you.”

“Oh, that’s good, I had something to say. Let’s go to my office.”

Arriving at his office with Leonhark, Damian looked at Leonhark with a serious expression.

Then Leonhark asked Damian.

“What do you want to say?”

“I have something to discuss with you regarding the training of the Kaion Unit. Training that will enable the Kaion Unit to accurately perform its role on the battlefield in the future.”

“… … It seems like you’ve definitely made up your mind about something.”

“yes.”

“Tell me. I will listen.”

Leonhark listened to Damian’s story with respect.

Of all the operations the Kaion unit has used so far, the most reliable one is the hit and run.

A method of quickly dispersing the enemy formation with attacks and escaping.

And now we needed a strong enough force to block the narrow passages and fight large numbers of enemies.

This thought also had to do with the assault team created by Leonhark.

The Kaion unit, which had a greater than expected breakthrough power thanks to the assault force, also played a large role in this battle against the Empire.

Leonhark, who had been listening to Damian’s story, slowly nodded his head.

“That makes sense. After all, continuing to reinforce troops isn’t the only solution.”

“Yes, so for the time being, I plan to focus on making the unit stronger rather than increasing the number of personnel by establishing merits.”

Along with that, Damian also explained to Leonhark about the equipment of the Kaion unit that was in progress in Miltobern.

This is because if he used the shields and spears he was thinking of, it would be an incredible unit with both penetrative power and defensive power.

Leonhark nodded to him.

“I understand. From now on, I will focus on training my troops in this direction.”

It seemed like a lot of training methods would change, but it didn’t matter.

After all, isn’t their goal to create a stronger unit?

Damian smiled slightly at Leonhark’s answer.

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“No, that’s a good enough idea. No, it’s even better than I thought. Honestly… … I’m a little surprised.”

After going through several battles, Damian created a unit with characteristics that were optimized for him.

It seemed simple, but Leonhark knew that it was by no means an easy task.

“I will prepare well.”

“Yes, but… …what do you mean you have something to tell me?”

“Ah, that’s… … .”

Leonhark quickly took something out of the drawer.

It was something I had seen before.

“This is… … .”

“Henel is looking for you.”

It was an invitation to Heinel’s forest cottage.
