The Immortal Genius Spearman (146)
“… … this.”

The moment he saw the invitation, Damien burst into laughter at the absurdity.

I was thinking of asking Leonhark again to let me meet Heinel.

Because that’s the best Damien can do.

‘I couldn’t just go to where Heinel was without asking permission, even though I knew the location.’

Not only was it impossible for him to commit such a rude act, but he would also not be able to achieve his goal if he did.

But before I could even say anything, I got an invitation like this first.

Even Leonhark, who had handed out the invitation, spoke with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Because he never expected that Heinel would call Damian back so soon.

Even if we just returned from the same battlefield.

‘… … Did you see potential in this boy?’

No, Damian was now too big to be called a boy.

Leonhark spoke to Damian, who was looking bewildered after receiving the invitation.

“It seems like you have something important to talk about, so why don’t you hurry and leave? As you said, I will prepare the training well, so don’t worry.”

“… … Mr. Heinel.”

What are you thinking?

It was a situation that was hard to predict, but it seemed important to leave quickly, just like Leonhark said.

“Then I will ask you to take care of the unit while I am back.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll completely transform you into the unit you want, hehehehehe.”

A deep smile spread across Leonhark’s lips, as if his motivation had been welling up for the first time in a long while.

“… … .”

Damian could be sure of that smile.

‘Rest in peace, you little shits… … .’

All members of the Kaion unit will now walk the path to hell.

But it will also grow significantly.

Because Leonhark won’t just leave them alone.

“This… … seems like there’s more out there than in the unit.”

“It’s okay, because there’s a good reason for it.”

Then Leonhark stood up and extended his hand to Damian.

Damian tilted his head at his offer to shake hands.

Then Leonhark spoke.

“I thought that maybe the work there would be more difficult than training here. Anyway, cheer up.”

“……thank you.”

Hot.

Damian grabbed Leonhark’s hand and stood up.

This invitation could be a golden opportunity.

And before leaving, Damian immediately called together all the squad leader-level officers.

Because I had to tell them about the new and changed Kaion unit.

“……yes?”

“Isn’t that a unit specifically designed for guerrilla warfare?”

Terka asked Damian cautiously.

Isn’t what Damien calls hit and run ultimately referring to guerrilla warfare?

Damien nodded to him.

“That’s right, we have a small number. But we don’t plan on increasing the number indiscriminately.”

In order for Damien to move the unit the way he wants, those present here must be able to handle advanced magical powers.

But they were still guys who had a long way to go.

Damien told them.

“So work hard enough to die. So that our three hundred men can fight ten thousand of the Empire’s men.”

“Yes? Ten thousand people?”

Kyle made a bewildered expression, though.

“……All right.”

“Yes, Captain.”

The squad leaders all nodded at Damien’s serious expression.

Damien then lightly patted Diana’s shoulder in front of him.

“I will come back stronger, so you too must become stronger. Remember that only then can we go together.”

I was sincere.

Because those who can’t keep up will end up falling behind.

Everyone nodded with serious looks on their faces at Damien’s words.

“Have a nice trip.”

“I don’t know why you’re going, but have a safe trip. We’ll be working so hard that we could die.”

Damian nodded at Kyle’s answer.

“I’ll go and come back.”

With those words, Damien quickly rode his horse towards the forest where Heinel’s villa was.

“What is the current status?”

Prime Minister of the Cartelia Empire.

Benuit Julianos checked how far Kalon’s army had advanced into the Artian kingdom.

His scribe, Talaud Beikun, answered him.

“We have now passed the northern coast and captured the first city, Srenckanal. After that, we have continued straight south without stopping and are currently advancing towards Driont.”

“When was Srenckanal captured?”

“Two days ago, we received a call through the magic communication port. We expect that they have almost reached Driont by now.”

“Driontra… … Even the people of the Artian Kingdom must be feeling chills right now.”

It could be said that it was a truly explosive advance.

It fell on the shore five days ago.

Doesn’t that mean that they managed to break through the coast guard and take Srenckanal in just three days?

Indeed, how many people within the empire would be capable of such a violent advance?

No, it was such an extraordinary feat that it made one doubt whether anyone could do it.

“Tell General Calon to do what he wants, but make sure to look after the safety of his soldiers. He may be strong, but not all of the soldiers who follow him are as strong.”

“All right.”

Sending Calon to the Kingdom of Artian meant that the Empire was showing its will.

This battle should at least make the Artians realize that they too are not safe from this war.

That’s why I sent Calon.

“Then… …let’s see how Artian turns out.”

Benuit raised the corners of his lips slightly and looked closely at the Kingdom of Artian among the continental maps spread out on the table.

The forest of Heinel that I found again.

It was still emitting sufficient magical power without any changes.

As Damien dismounted, Philip slowly walked towards him from inside.

“I’m sure you haven’t completely recovered from the fatigue of the battlefield, but thank you for coming.”

“No, it’s actually an honor that you invited me first, Heinel.”

Damien said as he handed the invitation he had to Philip.

Philip also smiled slightly and soon guided Damian inside.

Swish.

I didn’t realize it before, but this forest… … .

‘Was there a barrier…?’

Damian looked around, feeling strangely different from before.

Philip, who was walking ahead of him, said:

“you’re right.”

“yes?”

“A magic barrier has been formed. Therefore, those who have not received an invitation cannot easily enter here.”

“ah…….”

Even if I knew the location, I wouldn’t have been able to get in in the first place.

Damien simply nodded to Philip’s words and followed him in.

And as we went inside along the familiar forest path, the villa we had seen before came into view.

“Oh, you came!”

Heinel, who was out in the garden of the villa, greeted Damien happily.

Damien bowed politely to him.

“Nice to see you again, Your Highness.”

“Haha, you don’t know how long I’ve waited for you.”

“Can I ask why?”

It was something I had been wondering the whole time I was coming here.

Why did Duke Heinel send him an invitation?

Heinel let out a small laugh at Damien’s direct question.

“Would you like to take a walk?”

Heinel turned around and started walking through the garden. Damian followed him.

“What did you feel during this fight?”

“……yes?”

“I’m curious about your honest feelings.”

Preemptive strike on the imperial forces.

The implications of this were enormous. After all, wasn’t it Damien who first voiced his opinion on the attack?

“that…….”

Damian was troubled by Heinel’s question.

I couldn’t figure out why he was asking this question.

“… … It was worth doing.”

Damien spoke his mind honestly.

“Is it worth it?”

But wasn’t Damien’s answer quite unexpected?

Heinel stopped walking and looked at Damian, asking. Damian nodded.

“Yes. Even though they are the most powerful empire on the continent, our power is more than enough to defeat them.”

“Hmm… … I see.”

“But at the same time, my personal thoughts are… … that it is too weak.”

“What?”

Heinel’s eyes sharpened for a moment. He focused on Damian’s words, as if he was trying to find an answer in them.

Damien said to him.

“No matter how powerful our power was against the Empire, if it weren’t for Heinel on that battlefield, not only I, but also the Kingdom’s reinforcements… … and the Spanish Kingdom would have completely disappeared from the map.”

Just one person.

The fact that one person with Aura intervened on the battlefield changed a lot.

“Ultimately, in order to achieve complete victory on this battlefield, you must be stronger than your opponent. And the way to do that is to awaken the Aura.”

The overwhelming difference I felt when I fought Calon before.

This time it was no different.

It was certainly less stressful than when he was in Calon, but Galberon was still on a level that was far beyond Damian’s reach.

“Ultimately, I think that in order to fight them, you have to reach the same level as them. As for other things… … you have to think about them after that.”

Damian knew how powerful the Auror Master’s power was.

So when I was given a new life, I set my sights solely on that goal and have been running towards it ever since.

And the empire that led himself and his men to death.

I wanted to get revenge on those guys and completely repay the old sorrow.

Of course, I know that the road is difficult. But Damien has continued on without turning his head to the side even once.

‘but…….’

Nevertheless, time was running out and he was still weak.

Although he was struggling to become stronger, there was a limit to the methods Damian knew.

“So actually… … I wanted to contact Mr. Heinel again.”

“You mean?”

“Yes. I’m just grateful that Heinel-sama called me first.”

“Hmm… …Why did you want to see me?”

Heinel asked. Then Damian answered his question without a single second of hesitation.

“I want to become stronger. Stronger than I am now… … much stronger. No, I want to become strong enough to surpass the Auror Masters of the Empire.”

“… … .”

“I know it’s difficult. No, maybe it’s impossible.”

But I still don’t plan on giving up.

Because I think this is why I was resurrected and given another chance.

“… … It looks like you’re serious.”

Heinel spoke softly at Damian’s gaze.

If you look into the eyes of this young man, you can tell that this is not a lie.

Then Heinel asked.

“You might die. But would you still walk that path?”

“… … There is one thing Your Highness does not know.”

“what?”

At those words, Damien spoke softly.

“I’ve already died once.”
