Winter in the capital
- Pa!
As soon as I got in, I was staring at me.
"..."
At the same time, the static sits down.
No, it's not a fucking audience. It's a little overwhelming when you look at it like this. In any case, it was quite a spacious room. Such a meeting room with a rectangular long desk. It was a cup on my desk, a map, something like chess was in the middle of it.
Anyway, the hard-looking men and women were sitting there armed and staring at my face.
The commanding officers of the Kingdom Knights sent here seemed to be all gathered. Master Knight, the division commander, brought one regiment directly, so it must be them.
I'm sure from the armor.
There were also three paladins of the Bronze Society in the glowing armor of Saint Angel in brass, and I remember seeing them. I've seen it several times as I come and go. They recognized me with a bright face, and I only greeted them with a short eye.
Master Knight told me to come in, so I'll say hello after a while. That's when you do it right.
I shifted my gaze forward.
"..."
Sitting in front of him was a man in his late twenties. The height is large and the body size is considerable. Is it similar to me?
Anyways, someone who looks that young is sitting at the table? I don't know exactly because there are a lot of people in the room right now, but that man must be the Master Knight.
- Strong.
"Oh, I'm sure. It's that paladin from the moot competition."
"Ho... you're pretty young when you look close."
"You are under 30 years of age to participate in the Musketeer Competition, but of course you are not young."
"Oh, I see."
"The paladin you paddled with Harun."
"I can't imagine the energy coming from it."
"Talent, talent."
After a brief pause, the sitting knights began to open their mouths as if they had recognized me. Looks like you've been observing all the martial arts competitions at the Knights level. That was enough to accommodate only a few of the Hadassah Arena, but I'm sure you've seen the finish line.
Those sitting were seventeen in the plenary.
Including the three Crusaders, the rest are all Kingdom Knights, one Master Knight and one Soldier General. And if you put the three chieftains together, they're five. Eight people at this rate, and the other nine are Elders who are squad members?
Then the number is correct.
- Mate.
At that time, Master Knight, who was sitting at the table, clapped. As the commotion calmed, the gaze converged toward him again.
After gathering his gaze, he looked at me and opened his mouth.
"Indeed. The same young man I saw in the finals. I've heard you're here. Thank you so much for coming. Oh, I'm a Kelvin Rendwitter. If you call me Master Knight of the Knights of the Kingdom, do you understand?"
As expected.
I immediately greeted him with a sermon.
"Nice to meet you. This is Paladin Gimkatt, the Saint of the Bronze Society. It is an honor to meet you, Master Knight."
"What an honor. Hey, there's Elder. Can you make me a seat?"
"Old!!! I'll make it right away!!!"
The man closest to me stood up and answered loudly and approached the chair in the back. It was like the mid-30s, and it was very armed.
In fact, it's natural that the commander of the two-star private division commands the captain.
"We can't have Paladin. Wait a minute. I think we should sit down and talk a little longer."
"Thank you for your consideration."
"Hahaha, thank you for something. I called, but of course I have to. Isn't he a skilled man who destroyed Harun so simply?"
Elder Knight immediately brought me a chair, and the people who were seated moved to the side a little bit to make my seat.
"Please sit over here."
"Thank you, Elder Knight."
I greeted him and then sat down.
I sat down and looked around. The people sitting next to Master Knight are the regimental commanders and commanders. And there are five women out of the seventeen in the total.
"So can I turn to the story and ask you why you came here?"
When I sat down, Master Knight asked.
"I'm here to see what's going on. I was also killing monsters in the ice maze."
"Yeah, I guess so. Well, now that Paladin is here, let me explain the story to you again."
He seems quite friendly.
"Then who should I order... Yarnna."
A little twitchy, he identified a blonde woman.
"Let me briefly explain the situation."
"Got it."
I woke up in her place.
"This is the Night Chieftain Yarna. Let's start by explaining the situation."
Everyone seems to have stopped meeting because they don't want to hear me right now, but it feels a little awkward... I need to listen to the situation properly.
That way, Mr. Seapearl, I can decide how to rob the Agary here.
The existence of the Spirit King is just as ambiguous. The two keywords` Spirit King `and` Spirit System `are not common sense at all. Didn't Risha say there was no official record?
It is almost a legend or an oral narrative.
If I catch the supreme spiritual king in that situation, this son of a bitch is an asshole, right? I will only get this look. A spiritual king in a shitty yard with a superior spirit? This is too hard to say.
"We are now advancing to the front yard of the Ice Palace, but we are facing an unexpected situation that has caused significant damage and retreat."
"It was horrible."
"I didn't expect such a thing to exist...!"
"I had to bring more defensive wizards."
The moment the word retreat came out, the conference room became noisy.
"Uh-huh, these guys. Yarnna's explaining, isn't she? Quiet down. What kind of children are you? Is there so much you want to say yesterday?"
Kelvin calmed down right away.
"... I'm sorry."
"Got it."
"Yes."
This isn't as intense as I thought.
Is that because Mr. Kelvin has a good personality?
"Hmmm, I'll explain later. The advance to the previous one was very smooth. Nias and ice knights and ice monsters have been attacking the army, but it wasn't that hard to deal with. It was just so demanding. Large monsters were also able to hunt without difficulty because of the concentration of firepower and troops."
Empathetic ocean.
"But when we were in front of the palace, what appeared before us were very powerful beings. It was the High Spirit Arquina. But surprisingly, it's not one, it's two."
"..."
Two.
As expected, Arquina and the Spirit King came down to the front yard of the palace and destroyed the knights. In fact, two of them are enough. He's a tough guy.
Now the knights also know about the presence of the Spirit King.
So how am I supposed to rob Agari? You're just saying you got him? Once you sell Karin's name, it'll be convincing.
"There was another type of higher spirit that specialized in melee fighting. We've named it" Eltron "for identification. It's officially named after the Knights."
"What? What?"
Hey.
What did you say?
"Oh, yes. It was a situation where there were two superior spirits."
Wait a minute.
"You must be surprised at Paladin. Yes, it's a situation where there are two superior spirits. After reviewing the records, Superior Spirits are so proud that they travel alone, but I can't believe the old records."
Kelvin made a supplementary explanation.
Are you saying that you are a superior spirit to the Spirit King? You didn't tell me your name when you were dealing with those knights?
Oh, yeah.
Then you may not know enough.
The knights now think of it as a superior spirit. Superior Spirit Eltron who came out with Arquina. It is reasonable to think so.
"... as Arquina and Eltron join forces to lead the ice knights, damage begins to occur. The combination of the two is so strong that there are currently only seven Warnites in the Knights of the Kingdom. We've lost two Ace Knights."
Yarna said he was confident of the damage.
Moments later, the atmosphere became obsessed with the meeting room.
"Even though we had a retreat immediately, we had such damage. There was a lot of damage in the other forces, not the Knights. But thanks to the Crusaders, we were able to save the wounded."
Her voice also became a little smaller.
"..."
The three crusaders who were sitting down, as if they were breaking in with their arms.
"We have failed to appraise the corpses of the warriors. Above all..."
"I dealt with it myself, but I couldn't win the joint and I was pushed."
"Don't worry, Master Knight?"
"It's okay."
Kelvin said in a bold tone.
"It's very embarrassing. Admit it. I was pushed. I didn't get to join Eltron and Arquina.
"..."
Yes... We almost got pushed too, but can we call it Master Knight? But if you acknowledge the facts, it's an extraordinary character.
"... yes. Yes, Master Knight was pushed. It's a very big factor in the retreat. As Arquina performs the magic of the Ice family, Eltron rushes with the Ice Knights, and the ranks collapse in an instant. End of situation description."
Yarna sits down.
"..."
The silence came down again.
The Punitive War itself was smooth. At the end of the day, two superior spirits joined forces and were just fucked. So we're having a meeting because of this.
Requesting support to minimize troop consumption? Or do you break through again because Master Knight doesn't live in the backyard with a single regiment? Perhaps such a meeting went in and out.
"... as I've just heard, it's a pity now that one hand is missing."
Master Knight opens his mouth again.
"It would be nice if a skilled person like Paladin could help you at this point. Hmm. I keep feeling it, but I have really good skills. You must be the best of the young people in the kingdom. Because you destroyed that Harun."
He was staring at me.
"No, objectively, I don't kneel much compared to this fellow sitting next to me."
Next to him, a man with brown hair was sitting.
He must be the Night General.
Does that mean that you know me as well as the underserved Solidarity Leader? Honestly, I don't know what these people are capable of because they haven't fought.
"Paladin. I ask you to join me."
"Joining us," he said. "
And he asked me to do the same.
You want me to join you? Does that mean I'm going to hit you again? I don't know if it's okay to borrow one.
"Almost all of their troops are destroyed. All that's left is a handful of ice knights and two of their superior spirits. I intend to gather skilled people and deal with them myself. If Paladin joins in there, he'll be able to handle it more easily."
Well, that's true.
But, mister.
It's a high-ranking spirit, and I've already searched it all.
We killed them all.
"..."
Serious gazes started coming at me.
Oh, fuck. What am I supposed to do?
How to rob an agary here.
"If you help me, I will reward you. I know my skills in martial arts, but I'm very confident. Me and the general here. And with three chieftains and a paladin, the odds are very high. The wizards are there, too."
He told me in a very confident tone.
It's fucking vague, really.
Why don't you just shut your mouth and come with me?
No, I can't do that for many reasons.
I opened my heart.
"Eltron... A chunk of ice with that piece of muscle was also a fine spirit. It was definitely strong."
"What?"
The moment I opened my mouth, they opened their eyes wide and saw each other.
"Bo, have you seen this? Paladin?"
One of the knights sitting in front asked me that, and my gaze was again focused on me.
"Yes, I've seen it."
I also answered as I got up from my seat.
"And I caught him and killed him."
