Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 37. The Catastrophe of Death (3)

Near the west gate of Mullen.

Today, there was a unique landscape unfolding that could not be found anywhere else. Armored with spears and armor, they were all out of the castle, facing Mullen's direction.

Watching this, Serek frowns and mutters.

“I don't understand. Why outside the castle? ”

“Chief's orders. ”

“That's what the Forest Keeper said. ”

Before it was over with what Serik said.

Harmin and Niela replied at the same time. Serik looks somewhat baffled by the blind faith answer.

“You all have an idea. Have faith and wait.”

Even Robert, the state he serves, could not raise any more questions. Sherrick clapped his mouth with an unsuspecting face. That was when the strange landscape continued.

Suddenly, I felt a reversal beyond the wall.

Bang, bang!

Rough vibration that resonates with the ground. Harmin pulls out his axe in a reflexive fashion with an unusual technique. It was a danger to prepare for anything stupid that might be possible.

At that moment.

There was something that jumped over the high rising wall.

Kuang

Later, the wolf with gray hair appeared. In fact, it was too big to call it a wolf. Even Giant Behr was incredibly big.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

“Your Majesty! It's dangerous! ”

On the other hand, Jun hurriedly blocked Robert's presence. Then you stare at the wolf with an eye that blends tension and boundaries.

At the same time, the Sernerk warriors were nervous. That giant wolf felt the power of pretending to be strong.

[I'll ask.]

Then the wolf opens its mouth.

The bright eyes then turn to the warriors of Serek.

[Is there anyone here named Harmin?]

Suddenly, Harmin tilts his head.

But then there was someone who suddenly came to mind.

“I am Harmin. Did the chief send you? ”

[Sort of. It was actually done by a guy named Ferda.]

Hound grins, revealing his teeth.

Then he turned around and looked at the gate to Müllern.

[The refugees will be here soon. You told me to protect them.]

A refugee? Harmin's eyes glow with a strange sound.

But even for a moment, he nods happily.

“Well, I see. I'll do that. ”

Ferda is a warrior that he knows. He was also a teacher. Then it's better to follow the instructions first. Then I heard a voice filled with doubts between the stars.

“What are you talking about? Refugees?”

Robert's voice. He speaks with a puzzled face.

“Did you hear something wrong? The Archdut and the Magic Corps must be guarding the South Gate. They can't be that easy to penetrate. ”

Tons of Knights and Magic Legions.About 8,000 troops there.

I couldn't believe that his army was only breached in one day.

“And even if there are refugees, it is right to travel north to another land. This place is full of forests. ”

It is also a dangerous place where monsters appear. Without special circumstances, it would be safest for refugees to be scattered through the North Gate to other lands.

Robert stares at Harmin as if asking for an answer. However, there was no way to say Harmin. Harmin was just following orders.

Then you hear the voice of a scout near the Citadel.

“I see many humans in front of me. ”

“Harmin, what should we do? ”

In response, the group looks toward Mullan, including Harmin. It was hidden from the high walls, but at first glance, there were hundreds of people.

Robert's eyes widen in embarrassment.

“Chief's orders. Get everyone to safety. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

“Spirit! Open the door! ”

At the end of the warriors' shouts, a violent vibration clouds the ground.

Curr

With a loud noise, some dirt walls sink. Then I saw more crowds. People who can't look over a thousand.

The citizens of Mullen.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

A suit covered in dust and sweat, and a face filled with horror. When I postponed them, they looked like refugees without fail.

However, those who came near seemed to not be able to get out quickly. It was worth it. Out there, only Robert was with the humans.

Moreover, Hound's presence was enough to alert him.

While refugees were prowling.

“Listen!”

Harmin takes the lead, watching the situation.

He takes off his hood and shows his face, shouting in a loud voice.

“Chieftain Silvan Archdut, the great ruler of the Serenek Forest, has told me to protect you. So rest assured! With this very sight, our Sergei warriors will protect you! ”

The citizens opened their eyes.

After a while, a dramatic reaction erupted.

“Ha, ha, ha. You're alive. You're alive! ”

“Ugh! Mom. Ahhhh!”

Is it because I'm relaxed? Or are they relieved that the Sernerk warriors are allies? Fear was somewhat lifted from people's faces.

Soon after, the refugees were led by warriors to complete the evacuation behind a defensive advance.

At that moment, Robert watched it with a stiff face. He didn't understand why there were refugees and why he came here, not to the north.

Suddenly I heard Joon's voice.

“Your Grace, he has something to tell you. ”

The one who turned his head was a teenager in his late teens.

He kneels on his knees, frightened to the end of June's introduction.

“Hey, apprentice knight! Gilter Croven to see the Prince. ”

A face with a tense vibe. Robert pauses at the thought of seeing him. Then I opened my mouth with a fake smile.

“Nice to meet you, Sir Croven. ”

He naturally tapped the shoulder of the guitar and expressed his familiarity.

Then I asked as if I was curious.

“Yes, you have something you want to tell me? ”

“Yes! Yes. ”

Gilter opens his mouth with a resounding answer.

What came out of his mouth was about an incident at the South Gate just an hour ago. However, Gilter did not have a few words. It's because Robert yelled with a silly face.

“What? The Earl's running away? ”

“Well, yes. I also heard that I should call the Holy Nation urgently for assistance with the retreat order. The Knights all followed the Master to the north, but my family was in Mullen. ”

The word "sneaking out" continues a little.

The guitar joins the horses, head down. It is because of the guilt of disobeying the military. A few moments later, Robert's tightly closed mouth opens.

“I'm afraid your words are untrustworthy. ”

“· · · · · · · Yes? ”

“I don't know, sir, but the royal family promised to send more reinforcements at a later date. Then, why did the Earl abandon the castle and its people? ”

There is mistrust on Robert's face.

Guilty yells for a reason in a hurry.

“Because of the black smoke! ”

“What? Black smoke? ”

“Yes, because of the smoke, I've been ordered to retreat. ”

The condition of the horse's guitar has changed a bit.

I was bleeding on my face and my lips were blue. Seeing your hands and feet tremble as your pupils contract, you feel a slight fear.

Guilty then opens his mouth. And he confessed the unbelievable sight he witnessed. Just by touching the smoke, they report that their flesh rots, and if they drink smoke, the living will soon turn into undead.

But as he spoke, Robert's mistrust grew.

“Does the smoke turn you into an undead? You expect me to believe that? ”

“It's true! I saw it with my own eyes! ”

Guilder vomiting injustice. It didn't look like I was lying, but I also believed this story a little.

Then Joon, who was away for a while, gave his opinion with a somewhat serious face.

“· · · · · · · Electricity. It doesn't seem like an easy story to listen to. ”

“Joon, is that what you're saying? ”

“I find it hard to believe, but there are quite a lot of similar stories among refugees. They say they saw black smoke turn soldiers into undead. ”

Robert's eyesight narrows.

It was because I felt a bit serious about the fact that I was not alone. But then, the silent Serek gives a cautious comment.

“Could it be that there are three major disasters? ”

“The Three Catastrophes? ”

“Hmm? What's that? ”

June and Robert asked at the same time.

After fixing his glasses, Serik replies with a bold tone.

“This is the prophecy written in the first chapter of the Bible. because it says there's a disaster that we can never stop with just human power. ”

“Disaster · · · · · · · ·. ”

Robert's face darkens.

Suddenly appeared tens of thousands of undead. An army that quickly turns corpses into dead bodies and replenishes troops in no time. The phenomenon that makes even living smoke undead.

The word "disaster" fits perfectly.

Disasters that cannot be solved by human power. The group grows stiffer. Everyone's face darkened, not being able to say anything easily.

Strange voices knocked at my ears.

[It's okay!]

The lively voice of a child.

The group, including Robert, naturally hear voices.

Being there is no different, Hound. To be precise, it was a rabbit doll with a smudged face above Hound's head.

“Are you kidding me? ”

“Yi, does the doll talk? ”

Jun and Seric's eyes widen.

Radina smiles brightly, a rabbit doll watching this.

[My dad and uncle will fix everything. I've been doing it all this time. Heehee.]

A voice of strong faith.

Regrettably, the party is not notified. I was surprised by the fact that the doll spoke. When Hound realized Radina's appearance, Najjik sighed.

[Ha, Radina. Don't let me out.]

[I've been meaning to, but I think my dad's coming!]

[It can't be. You're probably fighting right now.]

When Hound sighed again.

Radina, who only had her face out, suddenly woke up. Looking beyond the ledge, Radina raises her hand in a flash, glinting at what looks like a checkered egg.

It's Daddy! Dad!]

Radina waving her hands towards the sky.

Soon as Hound's gaze settles on it, there is someone who quickly leaps over the wall.

A man with a big bow in a gray robe. It was Heron.

When he approached Radina first, he asked her with a light smile.

“Dear daughter, how are you? ”

[Yes! I wasn't bored because the puppy was with my brother.]

[So my name is Hound a few times.]

[No, Big Brother!]

Even though the faction is different, it really looks like a brother and sister. Heron smiles as he heads straight for Harmin. It was followed by a dry tone.

“The king has arrived. Open the door."

Along with that, the wall collapsed.

Harmin's eyes widened as he later appeared.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The reality in front of me was different than usual.

Even though the color of the eyes changed, the purity of the magic itself changed. Of course, I used to be a powerful sorcerer, but now I'm really different.

‘This is the true power of the chief! ’

When I was shaking with a shock.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth.

“What did Ferda tell you? ”

“Yes, I've done everything. ”

Harmin's conscious head bows. As soon as he tried to say something more, a loud scream came from behind him.

“Ahhhh!”

“Ah, the Undead! Run away!”

The sound of chaotic refugees spitting out. It is because I have seen thousands of undead forces behind me. Robert's group also faces the undead with a stiff face.

Harmin tapped his shield with his weapon to stop the chaos spreading like wildfire. However, it did not calm down easily.

As the commotion grows, the reality frowns slightly.

“· · · · · · Loud. ”

Not loud or small.

Strangely, the commotion subsided. The reason was simple. Suddenly, a mysterious figure wrapped around his body, and his voice did not come out.

“They're all my servants. ”

As soon as the words are finished, thousands of undead kneel. The astonishing scene opened people's eyes. In fact, he continued to speak, scattering his cold eyes.

“So shut up. If you continue to be noisy, you too. Town.”

Something threatening seemed to continue, but his words could not continue. It was because a large hand protruding from behind her back covered her mouth.

“These are all allies, as the chieftains have said. ”

A young man with military blue hair hanging down. It's Ferda. She speaks in a loud voice, sweeping through the silent refugees.

“Rest in peace. We'll take care of everything. ”

Ferda smiles.

Of course, there was no one to be relieved to say so.

However, the commotion quickly subsided. As the surroundings turn quiet again, Robert, who was watching the situation, approaches him.

“Ser Ferda. What do you mean, they're allies? ”

“I'm not wrong. The chief is a commander. Didn't I tell you before? ”

“· · · · · · I've never heard it before. ”

“Then I'll keep that in mind. ”

Ferda smirks. Then I turned the conversation elsewhere.

“I have one more favor to ask. ”

“Please?”

“Yes. You know the crystal ball that contacted the royal court? Tell me what's going on here. ”

Robert frowns.

It was because it was hard to see what Ferda was up to. As he pondered for a moment, he sighed and replied.

“I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm sorry. I wish I could do as much as you ask, but I'm all out of Crystal Ball magic. ”

“I think we can help with that. ”

There was someone who intervened in the conversation. It was Niela, the chief of Heindel.

He summons the other elves and starts filling up their exhausted magic. Perhaps due to the large number, the crystal sphere's magical power was filled in just over a decade.

Now it can run normally at any time.

Robert looks at Ferda and recalls his request.

“So this is all you have to do to show me the battlefield? ”

“That's right."

“What are you thinking? If you want to call for reinforcements, ”

“Just tell him. We don't need any reinforcements. ”

Ferda stops speaking to Robert.

Then he replied with a curious smile.

“We'll win anyway. ”

No doubt about it.

Robert stares at Ferda like that. After a while, I burst out a light smile.

“Hehe, what a surprise. ”

“ · · · · · ·? ”

“Without good reason, your words are strangely trustworthy. ”

As I spit out all the laughter, Robert's mouth smiles. It was a trusted smile. Robert then spoke with a heavy gaze.

“Isn't that strange? We've only just met. ”

“Ferda.”

But then, there was someone who interrupted the conversation. I just showed up. He tugs on Ferda's collar and says in a dry tunic.

“Take a look at this for a second. ”

Ferda turns around. After a short while, Robert glances over and raises his mouth slightly. As if the villain who took what he wanted laughed. Robert looks at this and smiles unconsciously.

At that moment.

Kuaaaaang!

You hear the tearing of your eardrums.

If the ground shakes violently like an earthquake. Suddenly, the refugees scream for no one.

“What, what? ”

“Aaaah! Help me! ”

At that moment, something burst through the ground and into the sky.

A Bone Dragon with a huge body. And the black smoke surrounding the area. Ferda smiles coldly when she finds it.

“You're finally here? ”

He unhesitates and draws his scabbard. Not only that, Heron gave the demonstration a magical arrow, and Rodenhag burned his eyes as well.

A bright view of the sky as a whole, with a view of reality.

Soon I was about to set foot on the battlefield.

“Come and win. I'm going to put on a good show for you. ”

Robert grins with a crystal ball.

I, Ferda, shake my hand as if to not do so.

“Enough about me. Focus on the chief. ”

“Haha, I see. Leave it to me.”

Ferda turns away, listening to a four-year-old laugh.

With that signal, the group turns the white mask over. Then you see all the deaths that are beginning to fly towards this place, fixing the weapon.

“Let's get this over with. ”

One last big mumble.

Ferda crashes the ground.
