A few months have passed since Yurius' mourning ceremony in the North.

‘So far, so good. ’

What changed after the flagging ceremony was the change in the mood of the knights who treated him.

Of course, the Knights of the North are loyal to the order of the Wasteland.

However, it was a separate matter for Yurius to embrace it and follow it in his heart, but the relaxed appearance that Yurius showed throughout the ceremony left a strong enough impression on their hearts.

‘I don't think the Crown Prince is just here to raise the ball. ’

"Even the knights with you are adaptable, right? Especially Lord Haynes. He seems to be in good shape and working hard. ’

Beyond Yurius, it was Lord Haynes who stood out. He is a talented person who stepped on an elite course, but he also hit a wall of ordinary people.

Of course, there was a slaughter match with the Knights of the North, and I'm very frustrated, so I don't think it's a bad idea.

"Your Royal Highness, did you rest well last night? ’

Lord Haynes, why don't you join us today? ’

Unlike when they first entered Fort Valdes, they were welcomed with a rather mild atmosphere.

The same is true of the late Anderson. He was pleased to hear back from Lord Linfield today about Yurius.

“I see you've graduated from the Savior Academy very quickly. Soon you'll be able to serve as squad leader. ”

“Hmm……. ”

The Grand Heir reads the report several times with a satisfied expression and asks questions.

“Where should the Crown Prince's first mission be? ”

Lord Rinfield is momentarily distracted, and then gives his opinion.

“My personal opinion is that Rocky Forest is to the west of the mountains. If you've seen the Barbarians since your first mission, you won't be happy. ”

“That's exactly what I think. Good point. ”

The Valdes Fortress is located on the northern front and serves as a commander tower for the Knights.

There were two threats to the north: the first was the invasion of the Barbarians.

Since the road between the central and northern regions had been completed, several settlement villages have been entering, and Barbarians are the biggest threat to these villages as they invade with the aim of looting from time to time.

The second threat was monsters and receipts.

The north may be due to the nature of the mountain range, but there were a lot of monsters, and unusually, powerful individuals who stayed long and evolved into water.

Regular monsters were able to prevent the town from deploying heavy guards and barricades, but in the case of the receipts, the knights had to go.

Of course, the number of monsters was reduced by patrolling the area where the monsters appeared regularly to prevent such a thing from happening in the first place, and this was the task left to Yurius.

“His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, is on his way. Even Lord Haynes here is an orderly, and there are few enemies. ”

Lord Rinfield thinks there will be little threat to Yurius with the cleanup of the monsters.

“So it's settled then? ”

The late Anderson rubs his big hand like a cauldron and asks Lord Lynfield for one last time.

“There are circumstances, though. Please take good care of the Crown Prince. ”

“Are there any? ”

Thus, Yurius' first northern activities were decided.

‘Monster subjugation... ’

“I just got bored because I was stuck for months, so it's a good thing. ”

Yurius rises in a shimmering hue. In fact, I wanted to get in touch with the Northern immigrants immediately to find out what was going on with Nuada, but I couldn't get enough of my first drink.

If he slowly teaches you a lesson, you will be entrusted with a more important mission, no matter how much of an emperor you are.

“What's the status of your organization? ”

“I think I'll take command of about twenty knights around you. ”

Lord Rinfield scratches his head in shame here.

“Lord Haynes is superior to me, in fact, but I think the erl has elevated my position in the northern geography. ”

“What are you talking about? You don't have to worry about me or Lord Haynes or the Northern Sunchick. ”

Lord Haynes also nods gladly to see if he likes Lord Rinfield's modest attitude.

“I also felt that I couldn't help you on my own. Lord Rinfield can be trusted. ”

No matter how much I follow the command system, the knights are also unauthorized.

It wouldn't be a pleasant thing to get under an unmanned man with a lower rank than yourself in the identity of the same knight, but Lord Haynes doesn't care much.

“Thank you for your consideration, Lord Haynes. ”

‘As expected, Lord Rinfield is a necessary talent for me. We need to build more interest. ’

Hearing the warm conversation between the two, Yurius once again establishes his resolve.

As soon as the bias was settled, the preparations for departure took place.

“Your skills and accompanying knights shouldn't be dangerous, but you should be careful. ”

“Thank you for your consideration. ”

After a brief greeting, Yurius finally left on his first assignment in the North.

Twenty skillful knights picked by the Marquis himself and about 500 soldiers. In fact, considering the difficulty of the mission, this is a fairly safe choice.

Since it was his first mission, it was the late Earl's consideration to resolve it successfully and come.

Rocky Forest is a fairly wide open forest, roughly five miles from Fort Valdes.

“The main monsters are ice trolls. In addition, there are a few Goblins in the area or even a few Ogres around. Oops!"

The words of Lord Rinfield have ceased for a moment. After a day or so of traveling through the Rocky Forest, I finally encountered a horde of monsters.

“Grrr……. ”

‘Since the Crown Prince is a first-time practitioner, I will have to take command first. ’

“Slug!”

“Kieeek!! ”

But even before Linfield gives the order, Yurius' sword breaks the monster's arm from the lead.

Yurius then gives orders to the knights in a calm tone.

“Ice trolls? You're a renewable creature, so split your knights in two, draw attention and cut their throats or aim for their heads! ”

Appropriate response! ’

Rinfield shrugs his legs with his sword, avoiding the running ice troll attacks with a few surprises.

No matter how powerful the Trolls are at regeneration, it's impossible to do quick repairs deep down. Lord Haynes pierces his head with a sudden flick behind his back as his movements get a little dull.

Other knights are also veterans with a lot of hands-on experience.

After dividing the group among the ice trolls, the group of twenty fell to the ground in cold corpses.

“Your swift judgment is astonishing. ”

“I just remembered a feature I saw before in a monster sensation. ”

Yurius urges the way by responding with a hint that it is not bulky.

The squad led by Yurius in this way fought well until he arrived near Rocky Forest, but was able to arrive safely without one casualty.

"I heard you've never had much hands-on experience, but you're surprisingly good at command. ’

The knights, including Rinfield, were taken by surprise.

Of course, with the prince's escort duty, they were quite elite knights, but Yurius' command as a squadron commander was quick and reasonable every time a monster appeared.

Lord Rinfield, who served as squadron commander in the North, is impressive.

‘First of all, I need to appeal to my leadership skills. ’

Yurius intends not to reveal his helplessness in this first mission.

What he wanted was contact with the Northern immigrants, and in order to do that, he needed to go to a commander in a larger battle leading his troops and engaging in these little missions.

‘To do so, it's quicker to be recognized for your ability as a commander than for your personal strength. ’

Yurius' ability to command was a shame to think he was a master like Devan, but he was quite decent for the Emperor because he had wandered so far in his past life.

Particularly, activities with these small elites are quite familiar. It may not be long before the late Anderson reaches his desired threshold.

“This is Rocky Forest. ”

“Then we can camp here for the night. ”

Several tents were just installed.

Clear out a few thick hordes of monsters while circling this Rocky Forest to complete Yurius' first mission.

But Yurius' intention of directing this camp is far from resting.

‘It's about time I caught a rat's tail. ’

Yurius leaves the barracks in the dead of night and checks to see if any knights are sleeping, except for the mattress number.

“Huaaaam.”

It was Lord Rinfield who was on fire during that time.

“You look tired. ”

“Ah! Your Highness, you have shown me such shame. ”

“No. You've been through a lot to help me. ”

Urius rises to his feet, talking about Lord Rinfield and other things as an excuse for insomnia.

“I'm gonna go wash up on the lake before I go to sleep. ”

“You're in danger by yourself. I'm escorting……. ”

‘I'm sorry, just stay asleep for a while. ’

“Huh?"

Puck!

Yurius faints Lord Rinfield in an instant, then makes a swift leap, spreading his distance from the camp.

Lord Rinfield was stunned because he was concerned that no matter how distant the knight's senses were, his movements would be detected.

‘Regular soldiers are no problem. ’

It is impossible for a common soldier to notice Yurius moving around with an anti-prurigo.

In the meantime, he makes it easy for those he wants to find his trail.

‘At this rate, I can't hear you after a single fight. ’

Yurius stops in a clearing in the woods and shouts.

“How's it coming along? ”

Zec.

In the forest, black souls appeared little by little, as if awaiting the word.

The number is more than a minimum of 20. It should be a surprise that no one but Yurius knew this many were following behind him.

I'm an assassin! You look like you're shouting. ’

Yurius clenches his tongue and draws his sword.

All but the eyes were covered in dark masks and black capes!

They were a group that had suffered a lot in their past lives.

It is almost impossible to capture those who are determined and following, unless they are unmanned by superhumans at least.

“Is it the Duke or Wallace? ”

Despite Yurius' questions, the Black Goons approach him quietly, surrounded by no one but themselves.

"I don't suppose it's possible to ask again what you're digging up? ’

Srrrrrrrr.

A dozen goons surrounding him draw their swords first. It was the crescent of the crooked form that warriors in the Southern Desert liked to use.

Grab it.

Yurius' sword and the Crescent of the Goblins friction with the spark.

The ten consensus workshops immediately struck and sprinkled blood first. Three or four monsters lie on the ground sprinkled with blood.

The leader of the monsters, looking at the situation from afar, raises his hands without a word.

“ ……. ”

Every attack by the Goblins seems simple, but many of them are exquisitely engaged to squeeze a prime number.

Breaking it so easily means that the goal is better than expected.

‘Send in the second pair. ’

The chief raised his hand to mean that. Their real fear begins now.

There is a seething poison in the eyes of the gangsters who surround him. There is no retreat to them until the order is given.

Shhh!

Until just now, if it was still a pattern of confrontation against each other, this time he leaps without restraining his body to block his movements.

‘You have to understand persistence. ’

Yurius' sword moves at a dazzling speed.

In fact, it is suicide to run into a cannon in front of an opponent who is much superior to himself.

Every time his sword moves, there's no room for one more dead body.

But that's what the geeks were after.

Dozens of blue lines protrude out of the forest and surround him in an instant before he can recover the final assault on Yurius.

The trajectory of the line twists into a net at lightning speed, and quickly winds Yurius.

‘That's it. ’

The leader of the Goblin is convinced of victory inside.

That net is a specialty designed to deal with a certain level of unmanned people in his cult.

A net that is tougher than steel injected with force can hardly be cut at once, even if it is unmanned by a master class.

I've already counted how many outstanding unmanned people have taken this stunning step into the world!

‘Seeing that he's trying to entice us, he seems to be confident in his skills... …. ’

Phew!

“ ……!? ”

However, unlike the chief's expectations, the net shreds to pieces with a bang, rather than bending Yurius.

‘This should be the end of the search. ’

“Can we start World War II now? ”

Yurius draws his sword, smiling at the monsters.
