Egret

At that time, Rooney, who had fallen silent without engaging in a conversation, stood up with his ears twitched.

Other spirits flinched their heads at the sound of a rumbling crab's throat.

This is…….

“Raid!”

Emergency bells burst into tears all over the city with the sound of someone's screams.

It was an ambush by the Ho Clan, who remained silent for days.

I heard an explosion somewhere outside the window that scared the spirits to react. There was no major confusion as to whether this was a frequent occurrence.

Magic guns and soldiers were deployed immediately, and Verdi citizens began to react to the raids by moving as fast as the army.

When the situation feels unusual, Edan opens the window and looks out.

Oh, shit!

Saint-Lourook!

The sound of birds was echoing in the middle of the night, not at night.

Baikal, standing behind the window, twirls his staff and jaws the sky.

“You tamed Griffon. ”

“…… An air raid force that has been determined and nurtured. ”

Edan's sharp eyes look over the city.

Thirteen Griffons stirring up the sky.

The intruders, skillfully seated on it, were using bows and magic bullets to attack the ground.

Griffons with eagle heads and wings on the lion's fuselage were relatively common flying monsters in meadows and forests.

Beyond mere predators, they are better at fighting as they are called monsters. He was also famous for not being able to touch people easily because he was very violent in temperament.

However, the Ho family has been taming Griffon and harnessing its power in warfare through a secret passed on to tribes from a distant time.

Unlike a cavalry that can only run fast on land, an air raid unit that can fly into the sky and bomb enemies boasts immense manoeuvrability and combat power.

It was completely different from a horse.

In many countries, efforts were made to create aerial warfare forces, but the results were largely failures.

It faced challenges in terms of the lack of flying objects that met the conditions for people to board, violent temperaments that were not easily tamed differently from gentle horses, and the enormous cost of entering breeding and training.

Even if all of these challenges were not curtailed, only a small number of flying units would be created.

The same was true of the Lubarzan Empire, which had great influence.

Stable operation was the only Pegasus training camp in Elijah, the flying city.

Training winged monsters was also a problem for training targets, but training and training pilots is also very difficult.

The Griffon aircraft that appeared this time, although there were not many, proved to be extremely good at performing operations without mistakes.

“Maybe they are. Don't you think these guys are lame? ”

“Don't blink, focus on the role. ”

“Yes, I do. Do it.”

Baikal stubbornly did what I was told.

The staff he was roughly hand-rolling attracted magical power to activate the protective wizard stationed in the listing.

A dark blue light flows from the staff, which is scarcely fixed at the end of the magic array.

The magicians activated and the entire building was covered with a blurry blue barrier.

It was a shield magic that absorbed the shock when a physical blow was inflicted.

The Guardians will not move unless directed by General Officer Judas and subject to escort.

So they watched the behavior of intruders who were brutally bombed with defenses only.

Fortunately, after a long conflict, Verdi's soldiers, accustomed to these raids, quickly evacuated the inhabitants without panicking and fired a magic cannon to shoot the Griffon.

“Eh! They're running away? ”

The airborne forces of the Ho 'di, who suddenly appeared and attacked Verdi, immediately pulled out their buttocks as the Empire army began to fight in proper ranks.

A few more explosions erupted between enemies fleeing the sky and the wizards chasing after them on horseback.

Edan stands by the window and watches a herd of Griffons fleeing toward the wall.

Finally, even on the side of the wall, I could see that the enemy had invaded the air, the ground, and both sides of the war.

“Retreat after a brutal bombing. ”

It was a perfect guerrilla raid.

Smoke rose from a burning building. The roar of people and the cry of a surprised child became a mess around.

Even those who were asleep as if they were dead by then could not wake up.

Judas, awake from sleep, immediately grasped the situation and sighed briefly.

“Edan.”

“…… Yes. ”

“Help those affected. ”

The directive was concise.

“I'll go to the wall. ”

“I'll follow you. ”

Edan immediately stated his intention to accompany him.

As long as Moshi was a strong spiritist, he could not be sent alone in a dangerous situation.

Judas nods without stopping his will.

The window was closed, but somewhere there was a wind gusting through the edge of the garment.

“No, so am I. ”

“You're in charge of helping the victims. ”

Baikal, who was about to follow him, flinched at Edan's decisive order to leave.

Soon two men disappeared from their seats, swamped by a swirling green wind.

Baikal, who remained alone and stood still, groaned, scratching his back.

“Oh, really! I'm the only one who does this all the time! ”

Contrary to the complaining words, the body was already running downstairs.

The safety of residents exposed to bombing was urgent.

* * *

It was at a time when Judas and Edan were moving outside the walls following the delivery of the wind that a fierce workshop took place between the guerrillas and the Verdi soldiers.

The guerrilla group that was accustomed to hitting and falling out did not retreat immediately, and when the battle escalated, the guerrillas escaped.

However, the Verdi soldiers against them were also accustomed to this ticklish fight.

Blind magic flies around and explodes everywhere.

Nevertheless, Verdi cannot stop chasing the enemy because they have taken prisoners.

Guerrilla didn't invade the city to fight for nothing.

While bombing, I grabbed the people who were there and dragged them away as soon as I could.

Prisoners who were dragged in that way were used as an example to deal with prisoners who were beheaded or asked for supplies.

The battle outside this city was like a battle between guerrillas trying to take as many prisoners as possible and soldiers trying to take them back.

At the same time, the two men who appeared defenseless in the middle of the battlefield were the perfect prey for the invaders to see.

Swoong

“What is it, gentlemen? Is this a leisurely tourist destination? ”

“ ……. ”

Judas stares straight down at the sword against my neck.

There was already some hot blood that seemed to have been cut off.

He was gently held by both hands.

Edan, who saw Judas with his hands tied to a rope, also flinched.

As usual, even now, I could blow the opponent's head off and save it safely, but Judas's actions were too grave.

Even the spirits were not taking any action.

When I saw him standing without knowing what to do, my colleague panicked, and the Ho Clan warrior shouted loudly.

“Drop the weapon! ”

Nod, Edan, who receives Judas' signal, throws the sword on the ground, holding it without hesitation.

Immediately the two of them were bound together in a cart carrying the other prisoners.

It was a sturdy cart with a lock on it.

In the aftermath of the explosion, there were more than twenty prisoners who were trembling in the ashes.

Fearful eyes head for the newly arrived prisoners.

Sniff!

The cart that last received the two prisoners began to move. Turning the cart off was a tamed griffon, not a cow or horse.

Unlike the wagon pulled by the horses, the Griffon cart flew up to the ground vigorously.

Suddenly, as my body collapsed, a scream burst out from among the people.

“It's Mom!"

“Hiik. I'm flying! ”

Ethan quietly asks about the gaps created by the shock and terror.

“…… Do you mind if I ask you a question? ”

Judas, leaning against an iron spear and looking down at the ground, replied with an apology instead.

“I'm sorry I put you through this with my own arbitrary judgment. ”

“I didn't mean to hear that. ”

“I know. I thought I'd go alone for a while, not like this. ”

“Th...! ”

Edan, who was too embarrassed to shout 'Your Majesty’, calmed himself down to a close.

He was always so stubborn in the Holy Spirit that he rarely agitated in his usual way. Except when his boss says something he never thought of.

Judas gives a clear view of the ground away from the iron window.

“What I'm trying to do right now may seem dangerous to you. ”

‘You are already dangerous enough……. ’

The words I couldn't tell you were again blocked at the bottom of my throat.

Edan just pointed at his forehead without a word.

The Griffon cart landed on the ground shortly after.

People who were trapped in the wind, squawking as if the wheels were breaking, had to scream again without even adapting.

Upon reaching the target point, the Ho Clan, who was driving the cart, stoops down on the floor.

Kung!

Rough double-edged axe, a hog warrior who swings a weapon in the form of a Bifennis and shoots it on the ground.

“Shut up! Dirty Empire bastards. ”

In an instant, the screams were cut off.

A man with a hard leather weave weaves light armor, but does not breathe. He glances more sharply than an axe at the prisoners who cling to the iron spear.

“From now on, you better not be bothered. If you're wrong, you can blow your brains out. ”

The prisoners looked down to the ground in unison.

The Ho Clan was famous for being impatient and cruel.

After all, killing some of them proves cruelty and bringing some of them into exchange for resources, it's not difficult to blow a few heads right away.

Even though he breathed in terror, he had not yet managed to hold on to all of the young women, from children to young women, without being discouraged or less shaken.

For them, these disputes were routine, because they were not a new situation, although I was afraid of them.

Judas, who read that color, filled his tongue with it.

‘Fear of crisis is already prevalent. I can't believe even young children understand and conform to this situation. ’

If it had been the way it used to be, it would have gone unnoticed.

‘Igret’ was only consistent with being thoroughly indifferent to the work of others, rather than a natural anomaly.

Despite the war orphans who lost their parents and died, they did not consider whether to avenge their child or why that happened.

When he began to take sides with someone with his own power, he thought it was a real disaster.

The misfortune that springs from the hand in good faith bites the tail endlessly. So I was deliberately reluctant to intervene.

But it was different now.

‘Saving someone makes someone else unhappy. In a way, I know it's a natural way of life. ’

Good faith is not a reason for neglect.

Sometimes, we need values that draw a clear line rather than let it go clumsily.

And now, after the blood of the ruler who ruled Lubarzan, there was clearly a hundred targets to be kept.

Judas began to distinguish his allies from his enemies, recognizing the differences between his positions.

My condolences to those classified as enemies... (..)

I'll see you tomorrow then. Heh.

The end of the week is back again! We wish you a pleasant payment ~ ^ ^
