Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

"... I'm surprised."

Grang shook his head as he saw the bones sinking into the frozen ground and unable to move.

Though I thought it would be a long time ago...

Shake your right hand like that, but the bones buried on the hard, frozen ground under your eyes don't scratch.

Hmm.

Raise your eyebrows with an unexpected look.

"Mercenary boy... for the magic of a child, this is..."

After murmuring like that, she nodded as soon as she noticed.

I see.

Grang distorted his mouth.

"Malus' Wand"

A coarse wooden stick held by Almark's hand.

"Even if you rot, you're the owner of the wand."

The magic of a boy less than a year after he started learning.

But that wand's power amplifies Almark's magic, multiplying his image.

"You know what Mr. Rhinel wants."

Almark and the others are continuing to treat the wounded.

Ooh.

Grang laughs.

"I wonder if you're alarmed.Maybe that's all the wreckage? "

That's it, slowly raise your left hand.

Come on, gather around, you new skeletons.

"Right now."

Almark glances at the cleared surroundings of the skeleton warriors.

"Thank you, Morgan. Can you do a little more?"

Yeah, I got it.

Morgan nodded immediately.But while saying that in his mouth, Morgan's face looked painful.

I can't help it. I've been using magic all this time, and I just prevented that kind of bone attack by myself.

We're almost there.

Almark slapped Morgan on the shoulder and looked back at Wendy.

"Wendy, your healing power."

"Yeah."

Wendy didn't let Almark tell anyone.

"Reido, I'll take your place."

That's how I slap Rado on the shoulder.

"Oh, you're faster. Please."

Raidow is not strong. Nod instantly without obsessing.

"Almark, I wonder if I can secure Wendy's vision."

That's right, Raidow is watching.

Almark is impressed.

Before Almark answered anything, Raidow had started the wind by flying a wildfire over the sky.

"Thank you. Please, Raido."

Almark nodded to Reido and saw Lilty.

Even though the bones poured down like rain and Norish, who sheltered herself, moaned in pain, Lilty did not stop singing.

At that time, the singing trembled.I kept singing. As if I strongly believe that's the only thing I can do for my people.

"Lilty, your song wins."

Almark said.

"Almost. Trust me."

Lilty nodded.

"Norish, I need Lilty."

"Yes, I'll take care of it."

Norish nodded with a pale face.

A moment of peace.

Lilty's voice.

Other than that, only the breath of the wounded and the sound of the wind raised by Raido resonate.

I want time to pass as it is.

Everyone thought so in their hearts.

But the end of peace came at once.

Unexpectedly, there was a hard sound.

The sound of bones stepping on the surrounding frozen soil.

It was the sound of the arrival of the new skeleton warriors.

How many are there?

Morgan screamed to the countless skeletons that emerged from the fog.

Skeleton warriors are slowly approaching.

"Almark, release the frozen soil and drag it back into the mud."

Reido said.

That way they won't be able to get anywhere near us.

"No."

Almark shook his head.

That's what they're after.

Huh?

"Raido, didn't you notice?"

As Almark said, he soon realized it was useless.

It was an intuition that Almark had cultivated while scraping his life on the battlefield.There's no way I can share that feeling.

It was only natural that Raidors born and raised outside the North should not have a battlefield conjecture.

"Just now, they tried to circle behind us.The movement of the ascending bones. "

Almark kept an eye on the approaching skeletons and said.

"Someone is manipulating them.They're watching us somewhere. "

Eh?

"When the frozen soil is melted, the sinking bones rise up again.Aiming for it. "

In Almark's words, Reido saw the surrounding ground.

Certainly, the bones caught in the ground trembled slightly.

"Besides, the mud grip I just did was just an ambush.It worked because I was surprised, but I already know what's in my hands. "

If Al Mark knew from the beginning that the surroundings would become muddy, there would be plenty of ways to deal with them.They should sink some skeletons and use their hands like other skeletons are advancing.

Well then, do you want to buy time here again and keep putting up with it?

"... no"

Almark caught his eye on the skeletal warriors' movements and determined that they were no longer showing signs of surrounding us.

"It's okay."

Almark whispered in a small voice.

"Rado, the one who controls them doesn't know how to fight."

"Oh, you're not going back to mud? You've noticed."

The glang distorts the mouth.

"I hurried back to the mud, and I was going to float your bones again."

Shake your left hand and slowly advance the wreckage warriors.

"It's time to compare patience."

Right now, Almark and the others are ready.

You're motivated.

Grang nodded.

"Great. You'll be crushed from the front, or you won't be able to stand it anymore, and then you'll be able to release the mud and hit the bone dance."

That's what I said and smiled.

"As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter.Only the lady at the gate and the mercenary boy will get you to the ship as promised. "

Finally, add it as if someone were listening.

"I didn't do anything directly.If they die on their own, we have no choice but to deliver the body. "

"Morgan, hold on. We're almost there."

That's what Almark said, and he jumped onto the hard frozen soil.

Smash Mars's wand with magic and blow the skeleton warrior away.

Then Morgan caught the wind.Morgan's wind strips the fallen skeleton.

The Skeleton Warriors' movements do not appear to be aimed at turning around yet, but they still needed to be prevented.

"This is the same as before."

Reido moans.

"How long do we have to buy time?"

"It's okay."

That's what Morgan said.

"If Almark says we're almost there, that's right, Raidow."

That's what Morgan said and smiled with a sweaty face.

"Almost there."

Raidow lost his words for a moment to the unwavering trust contained in the words.

But I immediately shook my head and said.

"If you say so."

It was back to its usual slender tone.

"I'll do my best."

Warriors of the wreckage gather against the desolate Almark.

Almark kicked the hard soil at his feet and jumped.

Shoot to the next enemy.Strike again to the next enemy.

Every time you step on your feet, the ice beneath your feet makes a snappy noise.

The feeling reminds Almark.

The battlefield of the north. The dynamic world of life.

He doesn't know how to fight.

Almark thought.

The one who manipulates these pathetic remains.I don't know who that is.

He won't step on the battlefield.

Around Almark is the end of the mercenaries of the past North.

These guys don't deserve to manipulate them in battle.

The two big backs that popped into Almark's head were the ones that I've seen.

“Black Wolf” Gerus.

Why is his Black Wolf Cavalry strong?

The reason for that strength is not just individual strength or command.

It was that tactic that made them the winners of the battlefield.

A vicious blow from a completely different direction as Jerus's main force catches and attracts the enemy's attack.A warrior who leads a powerful detachment that can't prevent an attack, even if he knows it, is called by both his enemies in awe.

The black wolf's “Shadow Fang."

The wreckage warrior's sword scratches Almark's cheek and red blood dances.

I wonder how many skeletons have been defeated.

Among the warriors in the wreckage who have concentrated on the front, Almark continues to struggle alone, relying on Morgan's wind and his vision to secure Reido.

But when it comes to Almark, there were a lot of them.Not to mention, it is not the Dagger that holds the hand now.It has magic in it, but after all, it is Mars's wand, which is equal to a stick of wood.It was extremely unfavourable to the White Army.

Rusty swords are blurring Almark's body more often.

The wreckage warriors almost surrounded Al Mark.

Almark!

Morgan screams.

"Too many enemies, come back."

"No."

Almark looked back at Morgan.

"That's it."

Almark's skin felt the air on the battlefield change.

We made it.

Morgan watches Almark's expression.Almark's mouth was filled with an eclectic smile.

"Lilty, Norish."

Almark screamed.

"You win."

It was at the same time as the word.

"Doon!!!"

Even the fog that absorbed the sound shook loudly from the side of the wreckage warriors.

The wind swept them away with a cutting force.

"Doon!!!"

The wind winds up with a pleasant voice in the wrong place.

Suddenly the ambushes failed to respond properly to the wreckage warriors.

The wind rolls up the vortex, knocking them down one after the other.

"Doon!!!"

Another squad knocks on the side of the enemy who is distracted by the main force.

Black Wolf Cavalry Must-Sees Tactics.

But it was another squad that was too bright to call it the Shadow Fang.

"You're late, Nelson!"

Almark screams.

I've been waiting a long time.

"Oh, I'm sorry!"

Three boys emerge from the fog.The boy's smile stands at the forefront.

It was as if the sun had risen on the spot.Light like hope itself.

"I heard a song."

The boy, who is always proud to be at the forefront, laughs relentlessly.

"Come on, let's get this over with, Almark!"
