“Let me introduce you on the way. ”
The sun was setting and I had to hurry back to the castle. Hartmann's mansion, which used to be a public office, had already been bought and expanded, but there was no room for the knights to stay because more than 50 bankers were using it as a place for Northern Warriors.
Albrecht saw the knights behind Randolph. They were all riding the finest horses in the East Continent, but they were all young and unfamiliar.
The knights only looked in awe at the legendary headmaster of the early knights. It's only been a year since Albrecht left, but they were a second generation of knights.
Albrecht seems to have a young but experienced impression. I guess I'll just have to ask.
“Master, aren't you going to introduce me? ”
“Huh? Oh, yeah, you should introduce me. ”
Albrecht and Rosamund, Randolph, Herman, Carpen, Hroelf and Gunnar walk side by side, and the knights follow.
A force of over 100 knights came down to the city, but the citizens stared at the city as Albrecht was leading them, without much tension. Carpen was impressed by it. Hermann looks at Hrrolf with a dislike.
“This is my wife, Rosamund. And Hrrolf, Gunnar. We went together to hunt dragons. And this is Randolph, uh... my knight. Those are Herman and Carpen. All the kids who helped me in the Crusades. ”
They were lifelong heroes, so there was no end to putting the modifier together. Albrecht himself did not care about such things and introduced them roughly by name because he was annoyed.
But when I introduced Randolph, it was a bit like that, a knight I personally taught and appointed. I was just ashamed of the word ’my knights’.
Hallstadt suddenly lit a torch and revealed two jewel-like stars in the night sky. There were stars on the ground just like him.
“Nice to meet you. Madam, I didn't expect the Master to marry you, but someone as beautiful as you couldn't be more. I am Randolph of Wittenheim, the Licence Knights Leader. ”
‘Why is he so agitated? But can the director leave like this? ’
I remember Albrecht telling Randolph to do whatever he wanted when he left. Are you really doing what you want? Once we got to the castle, we had to ask.
Rosamund said in a complimentary introduction to himself, with a soft smile.
“Nice to meet you, too. I'm Rosamund Westskad, Anglia, Albert, or Albrecht's wife. ”
Rosamund finished his introduction, but the others were silent. Albrecht glances at Hermann, staring closely at Herald next to him.
Hermann looks up and down through his eyes, and he sees the old albrehite gauntlet worn on his back. And he holds Albrecht's axe. That was originally mine.
The Gauntlet was given to Herolf by Albrecht after he made his Oricon body armor. Griv gave me Gunnar.
Hermann wasn't looking hard enough, but he was staring hard. Carpen looked around the city as if he wasn't interested.
Albrecht turns his head and looks at Hroulf. He and Gunnar are also staring at Hermann. All three are male and female, and without Albrecht's confidence, they would have been in trouble. I wasn't supposed to say hello just now.
“Once the sun sets, let's hurry to the castle. ”
All the knights, including Albrecht, were on horseback, so if we hurry, we should be able to reach the castle before it gets completely dark.
Not when, more than 100 of Phil's words quadrupled and echoed the earth. Some knights were carrying flags, and a horde of more than 100 riders graciously crossed the bridge of the Valder River, circling the outskirts of the city. The straw piles are piled up and this year's harvest is over and we're headed for the castle.
You can see the bank guards dressed neatly in Northwestern style on the walls of the gates. When I saw Albrecht, I opened the gate without a word, even though I saw more than 100 strange armed groups.
“Oh, my God, that's amazing. Master.”
“What did you do while I was gone? ”
Randolph and Carpen were overwhelmed by an unprecedented number of acidity and the castle of Halberk at the foot of the mountain.
As I stepped inside, I saw more surprising things unfolding before my eyes. Many torches were illuminating inside the fortress. It was a systematic and solid fortress that could not be in this time, including forges, stables, warriors' houses built with angles, and secondary defense lines.
And most of all, Randolph and Carpen are increasingly fascinated by the magnificent, majestic and even more artistic appearance of Halberk Castle. Hermann, however, is still fighting the snow of Hrrolf.
"Did he keep doing that while he was running all the way here? She's still here. '
Albrecht sticks his tongue out. But as before, I didn't want to try to get people to stay close to me.
“Gunnar, show the knights where to stay. You guys follow me. ”
There were more than 50 guards staying in the city hall and more than 50 in the castle. The castle was full of space compared to the number of people. It was a big thing to think about the future.
Albrecht and Rosamund, Randolph, Herman, Carpen and Hroelf all walked down the horse and up to Castle Halberk. It was a structure that had to go back up the mountain even after entering the acidic castle.
Halberk Castle could attack an enemy attacking the acidic stronghold and serve as its last bastion as a fortress. It was truly an impregnable fortress.
I spent too much money because I thought people could trust me to do this. Without the Dwarf's skill, it was impossible to build such an architecture in this age, no matter how much money you spent.
As Albrecht approaches Halberk Castle, the gate automatically lowers and bridges the moat, even though no one has opened the gate. Randolph and Carpen are finally out of the picture.
Once again, there were several forges, towering towers all over the walls, and in the center was a huge subjugation like a mansion.
As I walked through the courtyard and entered the castle, I noticed a bright hall lit by many candles. On the bottom was a top-notch red Eastern Continent carpet, and a staircase leading up to the second floor on both sides, with the dragon's skull on a low hemisphere in the middle.
Fangs the size of a human body, eyeholes that give you a sense of how big the eyes were, and two big horns that came out from behind. It was clearly the skull of a dragon.
I was originally in the municipality, but not for trading purposes, I just moved to the castle in a crowd to watch. At this point, even Hermann took his eyes off of Hrrolf and stared at the skull of a dazed dragon.
“Hey, I heard about this…… but did you catch a real dragon? ”
Randolph says he can't take his eyes off the dragon skull. He knew better than anyone how powerful Albrecht was.
But when I heard rumors that Albrecht was a dragon slayer, I never imagined he would have gained a reputation in battle again.
“It's nothing. Well, almost died. Harold here saved my life. Now it's just bones. Let's start with the costumes. Rose needs something simple to eat in the reception room. I'll show you the way. ”
The Great Ascension was controlled by Dwarves. But they were not servants. Albrecht and Rosamund were called kings and queens in Halstadt, but they were shamefully doing their own laundry and preparations.
Dwarves live in the castle, but are invisible. They are getting farther and farther away from people, almost hiding their tracks. Albrecht used to appear when he called, but even Albrecht was hard to see.
Nevertheless, the banking business went well. Strange thing. Now I can't get out of Albrecht's hands, but I feel like the banking company has gone rogue.
If humans were banking, it would be aimed at profit, but even the Dwarves were unclear. At first, he was trying to solve the problem of eating and living, but no matter who saw it, he had been away from it for a long time.
Legends and myths have only led to the banking business of the human world. This could have made a huge difference to the world, far beyond just the banking dimension.
Since it was still early, Albrecht did not know what would happen later. I worked and succeeded, but now I don't know if I did a good job.
Albrecht takes people upstairs to their rooms. I thought I had to get some water for the bath, but when I opened the door of the sliding tree on the side of the room, I saw a bathtub full of clean and warm water.
It seemed like the dwarves had done it. Albrecht used to feel like he was often possessed by a ghost while living in the castle.
The invisible Dwarves cleaned the castle, cleaned the room, sometimes washed the laundry, and they helped the couple move a little bit more than just the castle.
I appreciate it, but I was wondering if I could live with myself. But they only shake their heads to see if their words have abated.
Albrecht told me to come to the reception after washing and changing, and he helped Rosamund prepare a meal. Outside of Ascent, she looks beautiful and beautiful in the moonlight, and she is skillfully twisting and plucking the hair off the chicken's head.
Albrecht also pulled the chicken out of the chicken coop, twisting the chicken's head with his wife and plucking out its fur. Since all the guests had been macrophages together for a long time, I didn't think we should catch one or two.
After a long time, Randolph and his men came and prepared the food. I only brought spices without bothering to go to the kitchen. I lit a campfire in the inner court of the castle and skewered the gutless chicken, spiced and baked.
The beetles in the mountains are crying comfortably. Stars stare down at the stars on the ground as they grill the chicken.
Albrecht had a lot of questions and a lot to say, but he didn't know what to say first. Oh, right. I wonder what the Knight Leader is doing here.
“Randolph, I told you to do whatever you wanted the other day, but you really think it's okay for a knight commander to leave the shrine? ”
Randolph glances at Albrecht with a smile, then looks back at the campfire and says, The Karpen next to him is still looking up at the castle, and Herman is staring back at Hrolf. It was a strange gathering.
“There are countless knights in the coastal city of Leight right now. Most of them are crude organizations that cannot be considered knights. Anyway, after hearing the master's news, I didn't want it to be me, so I got Franz's permission to rebuild the Knights. No, actually, the old Licensing Knights were separated. I'm still the Second Licence Knight Leader, and the Knights guarding the Shrine are now the Holy Spirit Guard Knights. ”
It's no big deal, but Albrecht was a little curious. Is it true that Randolph, who's been separated, is still using the name Risen? For example, the main house fell apart and the guard was still on duty.
Perhaps it was appointed by the commander himself and Randolph himself did not want it to be so. Albrecht seemed like a nice name or format, but it was more like it.
Albrecht nods. Then I threw the firewood into a campfire. When the thick firewood covers the fire, the fire dies briefly.
“You weren't familiar with them, were you? These are my new recruits. ”
Albrecht glances at the campfire and takes another peek at Randolph, revealing something bitter in his smile. Something must have happened. But I didn't insist on an answer.
“Once upon a time, when the Master was being beaten by archers, I didn't understand it either. But soon after the master left, the nomads came in on a massive scale. ”
Franz summons the army as the nomads enter. And as a knight commander, Randolph, of course, led the knights into battle. The nomads pack up as archers, and Randolph finds himself chasing them.
He looks like he's winning, but he doesn't feel like he's got a big rap sheet, so he continues to pursue. Then, when the knights were tired, I looked around and I was very far from what I had seen without my knowledge.
As I hurriedly looked at it, I noticed that the ambushed heavyweight troops had turned it into a wasteland. Randolph is shocked. Then I realized why Albrecht had stopped the attack.
The Sanctuary Army retreated for a long time to gather and reconvene its troops. Since then, Randolph has been making sure to scout the surrounding terrain and carry out his assault, as his master did.
Ambush is easy to say, but it was a very difficult operation. It was not easy to raid the enemy outpost without turning on the torch without being spotted.
Your allies were tangled, excited, and not in a frenzy, but you managed to raid a small group of enemy encampments. I've succeeded in repairing and defeating the nomads with the following Knights.
Randolph realized a lot there. Among them, the most frustrating realization was that he was still lacking. Randolph was a swordsmanship genius, but commanding an army was something else entirely.
Of course, when Albrecht attacked, it was an accident, not a ploy. Moreover, the torches lit in both camps were close to the enemy, causing the clock to be caught around it somewhat.
“I won, but there were many warriors among the Knights. The kids I brought in are the ones I picked out for myself to fill in the losses. Of course, there was no problem recruiting and training kids with hands-on experience. ”
Albrecht takes another peek at Randolph. He was blond and blue-eyed, with a handsome face. There was a campfire in his eyes. Now, even his hairstyle was similar, someone might think he was really his younger brother.
It was Randolph who had a lot of hands-on experience following Albrecht, but it was a completely different matter for him to lead the army himself.
It seemed like it was very painful to lose in the book. In addition to the shadows created by the campfire, it seems that Randolph's face was filled with a shadow of guilt.
I felt like I had left the shrine to meet myself because I didn't just want to see it. I felt like I had stepped down as a director with some kind of responsibility.
“Well, it's common to win and lose wars. We'll win later. I hope you don't feel too bad. ”
Randolph smiles and looks at Albrecht. I always knew I wasn't a very good person to say things like that. It was a clumsy consolation, but thank you for saying that for yourself.
“But the master never loses, right? It was mostly a disadvantage. ”
Albrecht rolls his eyes for no reason. I don't know what to say. He has always fought on his instincts. Of course, he also rolled his head to do a meticulous operation, but his head was mostly based on intuition.
Albrecht can't find anything to say, but Hermann jumps up and walks to him. Hrrolf stood up immediately and looked at Hermann.
Together, Hermann looks down at Hrrolf, looking up at him with a dull gaze.
“The axe. That's what I used to hold. Give it to me."
Hrrolf does not answer.
Albrecht is furious and intervenes between the two. Hermann and Hrrolf are pushed to Albrecht a little further.
Randolph, Carpen and Rosamund stand up. Carpen looked at it like it was fun.
“What are you doing? What, like a knife fight? Stay apart, both of you. ”
Herman spits out a loud word.
“But that's what I was holding. ”
Albrecht is speechless. What kind of childish talk is this?
“The axe is just an axe. Why does it matter? ”
“It's important to me. ”
Albrecht turned into a poop face. I looked at Hrrolf, and I just stood there. It didn't seem like a friendly personality.
“Just give me the axe. ”
However, I allowed Hrrolf to concede because he was an adult. Hrrolf handed the axe over to Albrecht without a word, and did not give it to Herman himself.
Albrecht gave the axe to Herman. Then Herman smiles like a child.
Albrecht is in trouble. Perhaps you should reap Randolph, Herman, Carpen, and the Knights, but they don't match up with the old Northern Warriors.
I remembered great people who were not close to each other in Earth's history, but who used to work well together to produce good results.
Albrecht didn't even want to spend time with each other. I only wanted to cooperate with each other as much as in the work.
To do so, he needed to set clear limits on the responsibilities of his escorts, cavalry commanders, infantry commanders, and money-making positions.
Then, someone shouted outside the gate.
“Mercenary! Warriors and knights are fighting! ”
Albrecht thought he had to do something about it. The knights and warriors seemed similar but secretly polar. Please, I just wanted it to be an early fight.
Albrecht steps out of Halberg Castle after stepping on a campfire. Stars converge to watch knights and warriors crumble, both infantile and violent.
