Dragon Poor

“I'm going to Mansk. ”

Perhaps as soon as I turn back, I'll regret this rash decision. But if I don't go to Mansk now, I feel like I'll spend the rest of my life living in greater regret. So, Kim Sun-hyuk decided to join the war.

Clark and the surviving veterans nod at his decision. Seeing the sunken eyes, they seemed to have already made up their minds. But so far, the majority of survivors have not made a decision.

It wasn't hard to do. It was too harsh for the troops to wage such a terrible battle and then join the war. So Kim Sun-hyuk gave them an excuse to stay instead of being trees.

“The rest of you stay here and take care of the wounded. Someone has to do it anyway. It would be nice to have someone you can trust. ”

In his words, there was a man who breathed a sigh of relief, and a man who clenched his fist in self-immolation. He didn't discriminate against them in any way, and grabbed them by the shoulders.

“Good work. And ask the wounded. ”

“You fought well. ”

“I hope to recover quickly so we can ride together again. ”

The men couldn't lift their heads and apologized with their faces lowered.

“I'm sorry."

However, Kim Sun-hyuk only smiled at them.

“I can leave with peace of mind because of you. Thank you. And I'm sorry for leaving such a big burden. ”

Perhaps the burden left to bear is much heavier than those heading to the battlefield. The only thing that can help the wounded, who will never be able to grab the spear again, will be the ones left behind, not the ones who are leaving for war.

* *

The decision was made, but I couldn't leave the garrison now. It's because Clark and the veterans needed some time to fully recover. Of course, it was the same with Kim Sun-hyuk. The Goldrake has not yet awakened.

- Sleeping. Hungry.

But he wasn't in a hurry. He had already checked the status window to see that the Goldrake's injuries had healed. Nevertheless, there was only one reason why Goldrake would not wake up.

Exfoliation.

The Goldrake once again entered the surface for growth, just as it had once become more massive after stripping away its faults. Knowing that better than anyone, he did not force the monster to wake up, even if he could occasionally find the ground Goldrake had buried.

Now I just hope the Goldrake doesn't wake up too late.

How many days have passed. In the intensive treatment of the priests, the bodies of the elderly, including Clark, were completely restored. Kim Sun-hyuk also returned almost as exhausted as before, so he was able to leave the camp at any time.

And Goldrake wakes up as if he had timed it.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

The scales that had endured the fierceness of the Gentiles and proved their sturdiness were now raised in triplicates, not in one layer, so that no gaps could be found. The scar on your chest, which had been heavily attacked in the past battle and turned ragged, was no longer visible due to the thick scales raised above it. There was something truly remarkable about how perfectly he recovered.

The horn protruding from the center of the headache seemed to hang a huge spear, and the crude spur that protruded along the neck seemed to see the lions' mane.

The goldrake rises from the pile of dirt, not as big as you expected. It was just a much more aggressive appearance that looked hard. But that alone made me feel a few times more powerful and threatening than before.

“Wow…. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk was amazed at his appearance. If the previous Goldrake was a solid armored car, the current Goldrake would look like a chariot with horns instead of a cane and crush the enemy.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Goldrake lets out a low neck, as if boasting of his changes. At that moment, the protuberance of the neck, which was lying at an angle, was completely raised.

“Uh, um... ”

Other than me, it was a flattering act, but Kim Sun-hyuk looked like a invincible scarf lizard. So he became obscure.

It looks strong, but it sure looks strong, but it's strangely ridiculous. It seems that Goldrake has made quite a sacrifice in return for his powerful power.

“Let's not put up the rocks, if possible. ”

In his words, Goldrake quickly turned the spur back and became a gloomy face.

* *

As soon as Goldrake woke up, Kim Sun-hyuk left the camp with the volunteers. Nearly all the soldiers and civilians from the garrison are gathering to hear that he's headed back. They do not succumb to the majesty of the giant beast, but try to speak a word.

“Please be careful. ”

“One day I will repay you for your kindness. ”

The soldiers expressed their feelings of reverence, raising their manners with their unholy bodies, and the civilians bowed their heads and prayed for his safe return without a word.

“Let's go!”

As Kim Sun-hyuk sped up the Goldrake, Clark and his cavalry followed behind him as they kicked him. So they head for Mansk Fortress.

* *

The importance of Mansk Fortress, which is the strategic center of the west and the command post of the western army, has always kept close to three regiments stationed. With the addition of two militia forces from the Central Army, the fortress was literally torn apart by soldiers.

But the fortress was quiet despite the crowds of soldiers. It looked just like the night before the storm.

Those fortresses become noisy in no time.

“Drake Knight is here! ”

“Announce the arrival of Earl Drahn, and quickly open the gates of the keep! ”

There was no confirmation procedure. The soldiers of the fortress opened the door trembling as soon as they found Kim Sun-hyuk. It wasn't weird to do that. There was no knight in a giant drake anywhere else in the world, and the golden monster himself was like his identity.

“That's comforting, but too eye-catching. ”

I never thought I'd be able to enter the fort quietly from the beginning, but seeing the endless crowds of soldiers was already choking me. The sound of Kim Sun-hyuk's suffering made Clark laugh.

“Well, that's a good thing. Think carefully. You didn't make me suffer with my eyes open. ”

“However, this is a bit... ”

I ran into the wilderness in the snowy west, and the frozen cavalry looked like nothing.

“That's a lot of work, don't you think? Accept it now. ”

No one has built a ball as revolutionary as Kim Sun-hyuk in the recent war, according to Clark. You annihilated the Sarstein Cavalry, the arch-enemies of the Adenberg cavalry, and led the defense of the 22nd Army Garrison, where absolute defeat was confirmed.

In an age when knights and wizards were no longer on the battlefield, no one walked as visually.

“Still, that's impressive. Perhaps the king will come himself. Are there any soldiers with this much hospitality other than you, Commander? ”

But given all that, the hospitality of the soldiers in Mansk Fortress was overwhelming. And they soon remembered why.

There was no ally more reliable than a foreigner on a drake on a battlefield where superhumans like knights and wizards did not take up arms. The existence of powerful allies meant that they were likely to increase their chances of survival, and it was worth the enthusiasm of the soldiers ahead of them to join him.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck.

The cheerful soldiers are suddenly silent. I asked why, and I saw the late Earl Reinhardt and the Princess Ofelia who had put Commander Mansk in the back. The soldiers watched, breathlessly, the meeting of the young prince and the new hero with an anticipated face.

“I didn't believe Lord Trail and Earl Reinhardt had said so, but here you are. ”

It was usually the word of a princess that was hard to understand by putting all kinds of modifiers on, but today it was that bad. He lowers his head, looking at the princess who cuts off all the front and back and says, "Groaning and admiration."

“I have so much to ask, so much to say, but I can't stand you running all the way to your body just now. ”

Fortunately, the princess did not intend to keep him for long.

“Welcome. Spear of the Realm. Mansk welcomes you. ”

The soldiers who were silent in her short greeting suddenly cheered. The soldiers were completely excited about what they saw in this conversation. Kim Sun-hyuk and the princess who had no way of knowing the reason looked confused.

Perhaps they will never know. You never know what the soldiers expected, what they saw and cheered for.

The appearance of the young princess and Drake Knight in the winter fortress and scattered showers was quite impressive to others.

The princess in white fur, though young, was virtuous and beautiful, and the knight who knelt before her and the beast who bowed her head was magnificent. The appearance of two men and women talking directly to each other was like a picture, and there was something that reminded me of the beginning of a hero who had been scolding the continent a long time ago.

The meeting of the princess and the brave soldier in the snowy fortress in the middle of winter stimulated their imagination. And finally, they made the illusion that they were watching the beginning of heroism, and it all made them go crazy.

The Young Princess and the Brave Vigilante were a perfect match for the beginning of such a heroic tale.

The princess, who had no way of knowing, simply thought that the soldiers' trust in Drake Knight was more than she had imagined, and Kim Sun-hyuk, on the other hand, thought that the princess' popularity was much greater than she thought.

“I knew you'd come. ”

Due to the excitement of the soldiers, the escort knights who were concerned about the princess' comfort disappeared with the young prince, and the late Lord Reinhardt greeted him.

“The erl had no choice but to make you come. ”

“But you look a little human today. It looks much better than the day before. ”

It was a dark face, but I suddenly felt a sense of anxiety in my speech. That's amazing. He asked me a question I didn't know.

“Don't I look like a person? ”

“It was like all the burdens of the world were on their own. I could have drunk it off. I was stubborn enough to hold the cup. I drank on purpose. Now you know my deep meaning. ”

“Ah…. ”

It seems that the attitude of Earl Reinhardt that day was not just due to revenge.

“Thank you. I feel better now. ”

In fact, since the great masterpiece of the late Reinhardt, it was a little bit open, as if a big stone had landed in my heart. I couldn't help but appreciate the fact that it was all the concern of the Marquis.

“Enough with the irritating talk. I'm getting hives all over me. ”

Now, Sun Hyuk Kim smiled and nodded, knowing that his attitude on this day was simply due to his personality.

“Commander, it's good to see you again. ”

Until then, Commander Mansk, who remained on one side and didn't say anything, has been pretending to know what he was saying. However, his gaze was toward the other side, not him.

“I'm sorry. I was so stubborn that I couldn't break it. ”

He bows his head and apologizes, not hard to see that the old commander was looking at my granddaughter. The Commander gives you a smile and shakes his hand.

“I'm sure it's time for me to retire. I can't stop feeling sorry for myself.... ”

The Commander has grown old recently. The previous correction was nowhere to be found.

“Get some rest and come to the command post at any time. We'll talk about it then. ”

As soon as the Mansk Commander took his place, Earl Reinhardt had a taste for it.

“He hasn't been like that before, but he's been like that lately. ”

“Are you sure you're okay? I think you're feeling guilty. ”

A Commander who thinks the damage of the last war is because of his incompetence. I was worried that such personal emotions might interfere with the operation, and when I said that, the Marquis looked confused.

“Who cares who now? ”

His experience on the battlefield was still poor, worrying about the Bold Commander. As he looks embarrassed, Earl Reinhardt shakes his head and quickly looks back.

“Coming all this way means I'm ready. ”

“Yes. You've done enough. ”

He replies, smiling coolly, as if to say, "When did the erl do that?"

“Good. I have nothing more to be reluctant about. ”

But the smile was unusual. He frowns without even knowing it, and the Marquis follows coldly.

“You're in charge of the Central Army. ”

“Yes?”

Suddenly, the Marquis adds a slow note as he looks dumbfounded.

“You will take care of all the foreigners in the Central Army. ”
