Red, yellow, white, blue. Aurora, who surrounded the whole world with all kinds of colors, mingled with the dark night sky and revolted with ominous magic.
Looking at Aurora quietly made me feel like I was going crazy and dizzy.
Fourteen years have passed since the killing of the Soumcharite. Whatever he said, it was short if the world was to take its place again, and long if it was long for Albrecht, a human being.
Albrecht could not take his eyes off the overflowing curtains of the universe. Not just Albrecht, but 100,000 people in the garrison as well.
For some reason, everyone was overwhelmed with the feeling of anxiety that the end was coming. Albrecht immediately summoned the nobles.
Albrecht wasn't particularly modest, but he didn't like the unnecessary glamour, so the Emperor's tent wasn't much bigger than he thought.
It was larger than King Leopold's tent, but much smaller than Amazon's. Suddenly, hundreds of nobles filled up quickly.
Albrecht looks down at them on the ledge. A thick voice embedded in the ears of the nobles.
“From now on, listen carefully to me. I've heard of this day from the dragon when I used to hunt dragons. ”
Albrecht had the skull in Castle Halberk as evidence of the dragon's capture, but it was not publicly available, so it was true that many people considered it half false.
However, I just witnessed a ridiculous phenomenon in the night sky, and for some reason, I believed it because of Albrecht's characteristic charisma.
“From this day forward, monsters from myths and myths will appear in the world. Don't panic and follow my instructions. I will leave for De Velez tomorrow. Secure Sigmund's supply lines. And unravel the fighters and report to me all the strange things around the world. With Lewis and Reynolds' help, Richard should avoid the forest and follow the road to stabilize eastern and southern Veles. When the weaponers flee from the monsters into your arms, do not reject them, but embrace them with mercy. ”
Albrecht's words felt like a prophet or a seer conveying the will of heaven.
With orders beyond common sense, everyone looks at Albrecht with a blank expression.
Randolph was not so surprised when he traveled to Penbach in the past because he received a comment about this after killing vampires.
He frowned, thinking he was just following Albrecht.
Albrecht sweeps the nobles gathered in the tent for a moment, and as he asks, he says.
“Zairex said, there is nothing we cannot achieve when we become one. I will be your lamp and your torch, and I will lead you through the night of nightmares. Believe in me and be one with one another, through adversity with courage and wisdom. ”
The nobles didn't get to Albrecht's words quickly, but it seemed to resonate. Several people stared at the emperor as they painted the sign.
Albrecht walked around the throne made of liver and touched the axe on one side. It seemed to cross my senses.
What I was worried about suddenly calmed me down. I thought it would be a good thing to leave the rest without mustering all the troops while caring about Eastern Taranthus.
How many monsters come from the other side of time? Is the world really going to end violently? Or is it just living with them as a unit? It was unknown at this time.
As the world was united, technology and goods moved, and human lives were enriched as a whole. That is, man's ability has become stronger than ever before.
An Imperial Knight - formerly an Imperial Knight – who created the Adventurer's Guild and represented the judiciary. Now, I thought I was just doing my best to survive.
Albrecht speaks quietly, wielding his axe.
“Back off, people. ”
The nobles felt solemn, though they were conquered by the Great Beat not long ago. And it felt like Albrecht was beyond man and beyond.
They leaned back from their hearts, bowed or bowed, showing their respects, and quietly left the Emperor's tent.
Albrecht doesn't even look at them. He just stares at the axe and falls into his mind.
All the nobles left, and in their intestines remained Landolf, Erbin, Richard, Wilhelm, Prince Alfred, Einhart, Sigmund, and Louis.
Everyone looks confused except Randolph. Even that cold-hearted Zigmunt was not quickly accepted.
In fact, Zigmunt didn't care about any of this because Albrecht was not a Sadoni. And I didn't really believe it. I was just thinking about the benefits derived from it.
I just thought that virtues such as burning courage, self-expression, manhood, and sometimes compassion that delicately surround people made Albrecht shine.
However, the supernatural phenomenon that shifted in the night sky also dulled the sharp intellect of Zigmunt. Truly, is the emperor the one God sent to save humanity?
Albrecht shifts his gaze toward the axe to his side. The eyes were bold, but it seemed to transcend the human race somewhere.
“You go out there, too. And remember what I said before. Be brave enough to face any hideous creature. If we keep an eye on their behavior and habits, we should be able to get through this nightmare. ”
Then people duck deep into Albrecht and leave the barracks. But Randolph kept his place on the ledge.
“Why? Do you have something to say? ”
Randolph looks back at Albrecht, not immediately answering, then smiles a little.
“How long have we been seeing each other? ”
Then Albrecht smiled.
“Fifteenth time, 19 years. It's been 20 years.”
“So you've been preparing for today since then? Are you really from God? ”
Albrecht smiles joyfully.
“Hahaha! What's the matter with you?" I'm a human being. Every time I encountered adversity, I just went through it with my whole body. Come to think of it, yes, Penbach is the beginning of everything. What if Erik kills the lord's son, the massacre takes place, I kill him, again I save lives...... and change human nature? How did I get here? What is destiny? It's all unknown. Now I feel like the old suffering and anguish are falling like fog. I just live thinking about what's right in front of me. ”
Randolph, born in Penbach, has no words. Sitting in a chair nearby, you place your arms on your knees and head down. Then he turns to Albrecht and says,
“Isn't it regrettable to change human nature? I wonder if it was all because of his deep regret that he suffered so much the other day. And it certainly meant something. ”
“Meaning......”
“Yes. Meaning. It doesn't mean anything, but it seems to be everything. What would be different from animals if they had no meaning to live? But what that means is that rather than forcibly injecting it into a parent or into a surrounding environment, I think it's important to make it on your own in life. You were born a king when you saw a young king or Henri, but you never had the courage to be a king. ”
Albrecht only listens to Randolph. You take your gaze off the axe and smile at Randolph.
“You were ignorant, and now you're teaching me. ”
Then Randolph smiles with a pleasant smile.
“Of course. You haven't forgotten that you and I are allies, have you? ”
“Hahahaha!”
Albrecht once again smiles joyfully, and Randolph smiles joyfully.
They stayed up all night talking about it. ‘You are from the Middle Kingdom, and why do you dislike the Middle Kingdom?', ‘It has been brought to His Majesty's attention that he has been a Northerner for a long time,’ etc., Randolph continued the conversation joyfully as a loyal knight and friend of Albrecht.
The colorful ominous curtain shook in the night sky, and everyone could not sleep with anxiety looking at it. However, cheerful laughter continues to flow from the Emperor's tent.
Aurora, who was tossing around in the sky all night, slowly disappeared from the dawn and hid her trail when morning came.
Albrecht breaks up with his soldiers for breakfast, then breaks up with Richard, Zigmunt and Louis and heads to Ile de Velez.
The precious soil of Veles becomes muddy because of the rain that came the other day, grabbing the soldiers' feet and stretching them out.
I'm taking the supplies with me, Sigmund, and Lewis, with me, they're heavier, in other words. The soldiers' march is more difficult.
In fact, there were more loot than supplies, so the soldiers were not too hard on their part, but light on their minds.
Albrecht said he was going to pick out some hardened ground, but it didn't really make a difference.
As 12,000 troops died and marched, the procession was a kilometer long.
The wheels of the wagon or donkey in the middle fall into the mud, and Albrecht pulls them out of the horse each time.
The boots of golden armor were quickly covered in clay, but the soldiers marched harder for the noble actions of the emperor.
Then, a short distance to the side, I felt someone's gaze as I was walking along a dense forest road. The soldiers turn their heads and look at the forest quietly. It was a Goblin, I think.
“What the fuck is that? ”
“Why? Wam! What the fuck is that? ”
Albrecht, who was passing by, turned his head and looked toward the forest. Obviously, a number of Goblins are staring at the soldiers marching. Nevertheless, Albrecht was somewhat different from the Goblins he had seen in the North.
At that time, I was wearing a red eye that was filled with frenzy, but now I was just looking at people and animals alike.
I don't know if they're rational or not, but I don't see the explosive frenzy.
The soldiers were shocked when they forgot what they wanted to say in front of their eyes, such as Bibles, myths, or myths.
Even the best and bravest of Lysen's soldiers were left behind, and the march was delayed.
“Wilhelm! Where are you?" Wilhelm! ”
Albrecht shouts aloud, and Wilhelm in the rear rushes to you. However, after Albrecht's loud shout, the Goblins fled in a frenzy.
“You summoned me, Your Majesty. ”
“Well, I tried to catch him, but he ran away. ”
“Shall we lead the rangers around the forest? ”
“Yes, but don't overdo it. Just keep an eye on everything, and when you do, grab one or two of them. ”
“I understand.”
Wilhelm answers and pushes back. He was a knight and lord, but he was wearing a hunter's clothing made of leather just now.
He was wearing a green hunter's hat decorated with a favorite falcon's tail since he was in Anglia.
Soon, Wilhelm took about a dozen people in similar outfits and fled the procession into the woods.
At that time, the sound of the forest trembling from the forward procession echoes.
“Kwaaaahhhh!”
The soldiers turn their heads forward in unison. And then, bang, bang! There's a sound, a twirl! You hear the sound of a tree breaking and falling. Birds in the forest fly up in surprise.
Albrecht hurriedly turns his horse to the lead of the procession. Bang while Albrecht moves ahead of the procession! I keep hearing the sound of a rush.
Soon, two or three Orcs emerged from the forest. The knights and soldiers freeze wide open.
The bottom molar grows long and comes out of your mouth, and the two tall, rugged people seem to come together. And above all, his skin was green. It looked just like what the Bible said.
The Orcs seemed to be running away from something. The heavy body was faster than I expected.
They sneak a glimpse at the soldiers, but first, they turn their attention off and keep on running.
Then the sound of thumping in the forest was revealed. He was twice as tall as the tall Northmen and covered with fur. He was having long, voluptuous teeth, caries, and long noses that were protruding from nightmares.
You hold the lower half of the Orc in one hand, staring at the soldiers marching like an animal, or literally a shiny animal.
It was an urgent moment, because it was far from Albrecht.
Surprisingly, or impressively, one infantry commander gave a bold command, and the soldiers formed a row of lightning strikes to form a wall of windows.
“Kwaaaahhhh!”
The sound itself echoes through the whole world, overwhelming the living. A massive gatherer approaches the soldiers in slow motion.
The soldiers hold the spear tighter with their trembling hands. The infantry commander gives the order when it becomes a distance.
“Stab!”
“Whoa!”
A spear or two doesn't seem to reach the creature's liver, but as dozens of spears pierce together, the giant's strength seems to be lifted.
The creature turns into a beehive with unexpected power and is pushed back. Then, unlike the beast who had the first good breath, he groaned in agony.
“Huff! Huff! Glug!”
The soldier's chest is filled with confidence as he shows the monster's weakness. Orcs have been watching this from afar.
The infantry commander courageously commands again, holding trembling breasts, pulling out his spear again.
“Five moves forward! ”
Soldiers march forward restoring their strength.
“Stab!”
“Whoa!”
Once more, the creature flinches back, startled. The creature is draining thick blood through a hole in its body, but it rapidly heals.
The soldiers open their eyes wide. A furious monster shakes his hand on the bottom half of an Orc, spreading Orc guts, filth and red blood all over the place.
Then, with a huge arm, he broke several spears at once, and the soldiers holding the spear were struck on the sides of their spears. Then the line shifted.
The soldiers rush back into formation, but the creature approaches momentarily and is struck down.
Albrecht, in his golden armor, leaps up toward the beast like a tiger, flying a red cloak.
Albrecht wields his axe with all his might, but as he floats through the air, the point of impact is clearly cut off.
“Rrrrgh!”
The creature thumps, but Albrecht quickly climbs up into the creature and grabs its hair and hangs back.
Once more, you slap the axe with all your might, but the shaking winds do not allow you to strike the crown. This time, the axe is stuck in the mouth of the beast.
“Let's play this again! ”
As you pull out the beast's axe, its long, sharp teeth are chipped or broken.
“Growl!”
The creature struggles madly, in agony. Albrecht holds the creature's hair and doesn't expect it to fall.
“Hahahaha! That was fun! ”
You swing your axe again, dangling behind the beast. This time, I hit the monster in the neck. A thick neck is cut at once, and the head and body are separated.
Albrecht lands lightly away from the collapsing monster. Then he threw his head to the ground.
But, surprisingly, the monster is still alive, and his body twitches and his head rolls over his eyes.
Albrecht stomps on the big head. Eyes protruded and bribes splattered across the ground.
The knights and soldiers around you are silent, staring blankly at Albrecht.
Albrecht smiles and looks at the soldiers, his blood splattered all over the gold armor.
“I'll give ten gold coins for each of the infantry that just fought the monster. The infantry commander will be knighted and a knight will be appointed. Good job, everyone."
The soldiers who fought the monsters were distracted even under Albrecht's rule. It was something he just went through that was untouchable because he was fighting against something so unreasonable.
Albrecht just saw hope in the courage of his soldiers. I thought that the great upheaval of the world might not drive humanity as desperately as I thought it would.
Albrecht looks up at the sky. After the rain, the sky was clearer than ever, so there was a blue light without any clouds.
