Chapter 24 Tayburn (5)

I went back to the waiting room with Robert.

Selena was sent to the mansion. Because it seemed like Selena would get into fights here and there.

Whether it was Mangot or the mansion, I told you to hide, so you must have gone anywhere.

After all the knights, including myself, had gathered in the waiting room, a man entered.

“nice to meet. The commander of the Knights of Shroud is called Sanders. Starting today, I will be conducting at Tayburn. I’m counting on you.”

A solid physique with a stern face. Hearing the introduction of Sanders, the knights’ eyes lit up for a moment. It was because of the introduction of the Knights of Shroud rather than the name of Sanders.

The Shroud Knights are one of the oldest knights on the continent.

Simply put, the Knights Templar itself existed even before Constell’s Chancellor Osprit was at his heyday, and was also the Knights Templar that stood by when other ‘Zodiacs’ drew the line between humans and monsters.

Now, a lot of time has passed and he gave up the top spot on the continent, but he was still the object of envy of many knights due to the nature of the knight who values tradition and discipline.

“There will be some who are dissatisfied with staying away from the Knights Templar and staying in unfamiliar places, but at least as long as you are in Tayburn, you must obey me.”

It was a natural story. A knight without a system of command is not a knight. Everyone in the waiting room silently nodded.

Sanders looked at me.

“Frondier, you are not a knight, but you are. to be prepared.”

“Yes.”

“I don’t care whether you are a nobleman or a student. This is tavern There will be no special treatment as long as you say you will come.”

“Yes.”

I answered twice, with the same high and low, no high and low. Sanders looked at me for a moment. His gaze was filled with worry and anxiety.

It was like looking at a child who had been put on the shore. It’s worse than that though.

“… … And today, Princess Aten herself decided to inspect the troops and facilities here.”

This time, the knights spit out cheers.

I secretly sighed.

Oh man, you really came here.

“You’ll be here soon, so don’t relax and practice discipline—”

smart.

Before Sanders could finish speaking, a knock was heard at the door.

“This is Aten. may I come in?”

It was a familiar voice. A clean, neat, yet comfortable voice that doesn’t feel like authority.

“Uh, yes. I will open it right away.”

Sanders hurriedly opened the door, and a white woman slowly walked in.

Heh, the knights admired it. I was also a little surprised inside.

He is still pure white Aten, but today, he was wearing silver armor to match him. Even when I was wearing a school uniform, it was as clear as snow, but now it is as bright as the winter sunlight.

“This is Aten. I’m here to give even a little help to you and your undeserved body.”

Aten was Aten everywhere. Just like the polite and calm image I first met in Constell.

Aten, who was looking around the knights, saw me. However, he soon shifted his gaze to another place. It was natural.

“First, let’s take a look at the barrier.”

* * *

Time passes, late at night.

Reidwe felt his head pounding as he saw Cybel standing proudly in front of him.

“… … Where are you from again?”

“Wow! Isn’t the difference in treatment with Aten too severe?”

“Then, shall I treat the princess and Erla the same, who doesn’t even know where I came from?”

It was a very reasonable statement, so Cybel pulled her lips together without answering.

But Reidwee was being polite in his own way. Had it been another girl, I would have kicked him out of the door.

‘It’s because the princess said they were friends.’

Reidwee looked at Cybel silently.

His facial expressions and gestures are bizarre. Besides, his looks are outstanding, so he must have been attracted to all the boys in Constell.

… … I think I saw a guy like him recently.

quiver-

Then the door to the mansion opened.

It was Aten who came in. As if it was already snowing, Aten brushed off the snow on his head once outside and entered.

Even if it’s not winter, it snows in Tayburn. The concept of ‘winter’ in Tayburn is just another name for the rampage of monsters outside due to food shortages.

“Lord, the condition of the wall is not good.”

“Um, I know.”

It’s actually not that bad. Very serious. The outer edge was already cracking, and the parts with holes were gathering materials as much as possible and tinkering.

Since the outer monsters have particularly high intelligence, it was only a matter of time before the barrier’s weakness was discovered.

“Isn’t it right to come up with something to do?”

“of course. However, Princess, there is something I am asking too much about.”

“yes? What?”

One of the corners of the eye above the lead was deeply curved.

“Just by any chance, what kind of relationship do you have with the frontier who came first?”

“Is it possible?”

Aten answered immediately. like it doesn’t make sense. There was no emotion on his face.

“Um, that’s right. Excuse me for this. As I get older, it seems to me that the main book grows along with it.”

“no. First of all, barriers are a problem. Shouldn’t we be reinforcing?”

Aten lightly skipped it and brought up this topic.

Reid patted his chin.

“That’s right. But this is not easy.”

“What if you said it wasn’t easy?”

“The attack period of the monster has begun to shorten. So there is no room for reinforcement. Instead, the amount of monsters that come in once has decreased.”

Aten’s eyes narrowed at Reidwe’s answer.

“In other words, are the demons intentionally obstructing the restoration of the wall?”

“It looks that way to me. However, no matter how smart monsters are, my life is precious, how can I do such a wasteful action… … .”

The frequent attacks of monsters.

Because of that, there is no room to restore the wall, but from the point of view of a single monster, such an offensive is just death. The higher your intelligence, the more likely you are to know it.

But how is this possible?

“There is a leader.”

Reidwee’s concerns came from other places.

It was the frontier coming down the central staircase of the mansion. Selena was by her side.

“leader?”

“yes. Even the demons must have someone who is in charge like us. Whether it’s a monster or a human, ‘death of a dog’ is something that can only be done when you receive an order.”

hoo.

Reidwee, who was interested in Frontier’s hypothesis, asked.

“Well, who is that? Are you saying there is a stronger person who can gather the demons from the outside? I’ve never seen a guy like that.”

“It is not necessary to subdue the outside demons by force. for example.”

While Frontier and Reidwe were having a serious conversation, Aten and Cybel’s eyes were fixed on one place.

It was Selena next to Frontier.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Aten and Cybel were looking at Selena expressionlessly.

Absolutely no expression at all. Like people who don’t know their facial expressions.

It was so eerie to a third person that even Selena, who was keeping her composure, glanced at them for a brief moment.

“… … Oh, I didn’t know the circumstances and didn’t greet the princess. sorry.”

Frontier noticed Aten and greeted him.

No, I knew it was there from the beginning, but the expression on his face was unusual, so he spoke to me. Because it was awkward to suddenly treat a student I met at Constell as a princess.

I thought Aten was offended by his lack of words, but Aten responded without even a 1mm change in his expression.

“… … Yes. Nice to meet you. Frontier.”

machine or what.

Frontier also greeted Cybel next to him.

“Hello, Cybel. I really didn’t expect you to come here.”

“… … yes. me too. nice to meet you.”

Exactly the same expression as Aten.

At this point, Frontier also started to get quite scared. It’s like watching a horror movie.

Then Aten raised her hand.

“this person is?”

Confirming that the pointing hand was on Selena, said Frontier.

“Oh, I hired an escort. this is tavern It’s probably because I’m a little insecure and dangerous by myself.”

Frontier brought out an excuse he had prepared in advance.

“I see. escort. yes. I see.”

Cybel murmured as if pondering.

He was muttering exactly what he had heard, but he didn’t seem to be listening.

“… … Then, I’ll go. I have to check the non-visit number and the border duty number.”

Frontier left the place with a somewhat embarrassed heart. Selena followed.

Until the moment Frontier left the mansion, Aten and Cybel didn’t say a word, and didn’t even move an eyebrow.

And after Frontier completely left.

Cybel sighed and inhaled.

“What is he? what is that girl What is the maid wearing that needlessly lewd maid outfit?”

“I know exactly who I am talking about.”

“Is that an escort? How do you have such an escort? What kind of clothes is the escort wearing? What kind of body and face is an escort?”

“I know what you want to say.”

Seeing the two of them chatting hard, Reidwe made an absurd expression on his face.

Just one thing.

I only knew that Aten’s claim that he had nothing to do with Frontier was a complete lie.

* * *

As Reidwee said, for a few days, the monsters will charge in small groups and often.

Instead of giving them their lives, they don’t even give them time to fix the walls. We plan to find the obvious weakness of the wall and destroy it at once. However, until then, the strategy is to discard monsters as consumables.

There is a commander who has high intelligence and focuses on powerful external monsters.

But first of all, it was good for me.

After coming to Tayburn, I needed to get used to it, and there was still a lot of lack of training.

pounding pounding pounding–!

loud bells are ringing A gloomy energy seeps from afar beyond the barrier.

The prison door opens, and prisoners crawl out one by one down the narrow path leading to the barrier exit.

The soldiers stood behind him, and the knights lined up on the wall.

“Hey, you crazy.”

A certain knight called me from the side. It seemed that my title among the knights had already been hardened as ‘crazy’.

“Be strong. Because I walked ‘today’.”

He grinned and patted my shoulder.

previous bets. On what day will I die?

Read at readwn.com

No matter what, you bet on the first day of the battle. He’s not ignoring me, he’s just gambled.

“I’m not relieved that I’m on the wall right now. After all, it’s our turn after the prisoners and soldiers. There are many people who climb the wall, knock on the door, fly, and leap from the air to here. Can you understand the situation now?”

The article was annoyingly chattering every now and then.

Meanwhile, the demons appeared. They came out through the distant fog and were all running madly towards this place.

“Don’t be vigilant that it’s not winter! Even just one monster outside can inflict numerous casualties!”

Sanders exclaimed loudly.

All the humans who had gathered to block the barrier took a stance. Most likely, most of them were prepared to die.

Especially dangerous are those with wings. Those who ignore the barrier are the main culprits taking the knight’s life.

It’s not that the knight who was arguing next to you said something wrong. I also looked straight ahead and looked for things that were flying.

“Ready for battle! aiming!”

Sanders’ orders were heard. I could see the number of winged monsters in my sight.

… … Hmm, with that number.

“Menosorphos.”

“… … ok? What?”

The guy who was talking next to me asked stupidly.

Menosorph

Air weaving, simultaneous replication

Imperial Palace Armory

Changjong, from No. 1 to No. 10

Through leveling up, the number of simultaneous weaving has increased to 10.

Various windows floating in the air around me. All of them were aiming at the monsters approaching without fear.

The knight next to him stopped talking and looked at them blankly. There are some articles I haven’t seen yet, but the knights around me were slowly paying attention to the sight.

“launch!!”

said Sanders.

Obviously, it said firing.

I shot all ten spears woven,

Each of them killed the winged monsters one by one.

I don’t know what the appearance of the monsters I killed was like, just looking at it.
