Former General Is Undead Knight

Lesson 1 Undead Night ①

In the western part of the Warrimian continent, wars had been waged for more than four hundred years.

This war is later described as the War of Eight Unities.

The war dramatically changed the situation with the Kingdom of Legions placing the two countries under its control, the fact of which drove the battle to something more harsh.

And with that, we were rapidly on our way to an end.

Eventually the western part of the Warrimian continent, which consisted of eight small nations, was only two countries left, including the Kingdom of Legions.

One day at the end of the war, General Lambert of the Kingdom of Legions had left the camp alone and was looking up at the night sky.

"It's Lambert. What's wrong with walking out in the middle of the night like this?

If Lambert looked back, there was the figure of Griff, a general of the Legious country as well.

Lambert is now the great hero loved from all over the Kingdom of Legions, but he used to be just a peasant.

Griff has been a great good friend of Lambert's who has sheltered and encouraged each other since Lambert was neglected by the famous family with an unusual birth from the peasants.

Griff raised his hand gently instead of greeting him.

Following the glyph, eight men show themselves.

"A little, I was thinking back in time. Before Aurelia picked me up, when I was just a thug."

It was not until the former king of the Kingdom of Legions, worried about the constant strife in the western part of the Warrimian continent, dropped his neighbor in an attempt to unify the West in order to create a time of peace, and his son, Aurelia, succeeded his father's will to further expand his territory and finally put his reach on the unification of the eight western nations.

Aurelia is a child, not a son, to be precise, but that was a secret only known to some of her close relatives.

Lambert and Griff, close to Aurelia, knew what was going on with her, but were nevertheless thorough enough not to inadvertently divulge it during the conversation.

After the death of the former king, Grand Duke, the brother of the former king, attempted to seize the throne and assassinate Aurelia's brother, who was still young.

To stop the Grand Duke's ambitions, the newborn Aurelia had to fake her gender as a man.

Even now that he executed the Grand Duke, the matter still draws its tail, and Aurelia falsely assumes that she is a man herself.

"But why is Griff here? It'll be a little far."

"Again, I want to see the terrain with my own eyes."

Saying so, Griff walks a little and stops in front of the cliff.

"... Lambert, what do you think of this fight?

"I'm not willing to let you down... but clearly, you'll be able to afford it. Half the power would be enough. It's something that made me struggle so far, but at the end of the day, I don't feel comfortable. If we push this place through and show a full offense, we'll have to surrender the other fool king, too."

"Well, actually, I agree. I'm relieved to hear it from you."

"Griff......?

Griff looked over the cliff, but as he looked back, he pulled out his sword and slashed it to Lambert.

Lambert rushes to set up his sword to prevent it.

Kin and I heard a tall metal bump.

"Hey, what imitation is this..."

Behind Lambert, eight of Griff's men pulled out their swords and struck Lambert simultaneously.

"Holy shit!

Lambert bowed himself and rolled to the side, dodging the eight swords.

Get up as quickly as you can, roar like a beast and wave your sword to the sideburn.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

One leg broke and danced to the universe, the other was sprayed with a sword on his hips and sprayed with blood.

But Lambert's sword did not stop the momentum, crushing and slashing the torso part of the third man's armor, causing his upper body to dance into the universe.

Just one swing slashed the three men in the armor.

But while Lambert was watching his men, Griff entered Lambert's complete blind spot.

Nine to one over the original.

It wasn't such a sweet situation that you could fight while capturing the entire enemy.

Not to mention the armor helmet has a narrow vision.

Gathari.

The joint part of the metal armor was heard meshing, and Lambert finally figured out the exact position of the glyph.

"Don't feel bad, Lambert!

Griff, who was jumping from a blind spot, waves his sword down with a rambal hanging.

It was supposed to be wrapped in heavy demonic gold (organ) armor, but it was like a mild leap that didn't make you feel gravity.

He is good at glyphs, "Moon Feathers".

I also knew that this move was Lambert, but I never thought that it could be released to take my own life.

It's like pressure isn't the same as when you're looking at it as an archery or as a third party.

Lambert bent to the ground aggressively, angled and flushed, but was struck hard by the shoulder bone over the armor.

Since the armor of the upper soldiers is dominated by full plates, the sword is also dull and heavy to go with it, specializing in blows.

Besides, the sword is ridden with the outrageous gravity of the Magic Gold (Organ) armor intact.

Glyph's sword blade, which struck Lambert's shoulder, is slammed straight to the ground.

With the roar entered the ground, and the earth and dust fell.

"Well done, buddy! But now you won't be up in arms anymore!

The glyph jumps up again and waves the sword.

It is the second 'moon feather'.

"Don't lick me! Whoa, whoa!

Lambert raised his injured shoulder forcefully and waved his sword down with both arms at the mercy of his strength.

Griff rushed to put his sword back together to prevent it, but was bounced off to the ground by the heavy pressure slammed from the top.

He landed well in the form of crouching into the ground, but Lambert's power-tasked blow is not in line.

Griff and the hero who dived through the fierce battle several times, losing the shock and never letting go of his sword.

But with the shock of the sword, his hands and legs were paralyzed.

It's not just a paralysis, it's a paralysis with severe pain that burns out the joints of the hands and feet.

Griff was in front of the lambale where he was aiming for his life, and he was to unnecessarily give himself up and stop moving.

"Then it's stupid... not supposed to be like this..."

On Griff's face, I'm finally starting to see a rush.

From left to right, Griff's men popped up on two assistant swords.

"General Griff!

Lambert wielded the sword in his hand like a stick, crushing the heads of both of them with each armor helmet.

Griff's men remained three more, but he dropped the sword in his hand and just rattled and trembled.

"Oh, no... General Lambert... not so far..."

Griff's men had already lost their will to fight.

We believed we could do enough to distract Lambert and support Griff.

For that matter, I was prepared to lose my life.

But we weren't prepared to die a senseless and tragic death.

Griff's men were never cowardly.

However, if I were to put my life at risk, I would have liked the corresponding meaning.

Lambert was a much more powerful opponent than they expected.

"La, Lambert......"

Griff blues his face and stares at Lambert.

A Lambert's sword was accompanied beside Griff's neck for a moment earlier than Griff's hips raised to stand up.

"... I can't die until His Majesty Aurelia unifies the West."

"Phew, phew... that's the order of His Majesty the Aurelia"

"Hey, what?!?

The words also upset just about Lambert.

Looking at the wolf, Griff slightly distorted the end of his mouth, keeping his cheeks cramped.

"You have an overwhelming power and charisma. This war... would have lasted until our grandchildren's generation without you. To the habit of being a peasant, now there is no one among the nobles who stands out and neglects you. He is the best hero in the Kingdom of Legions. No matter, popularity from civilians is deeply ingrained."

"Hey, what are you trying to say!

"If you accuse His Majesty Aurelia of a secret at the time of the end of the war... the throne will undoubtedly flow to you. There are many hard-headed people in the castle, and thanks to the foolish Grand Duke for killing them all, there are no close relatives. It's the only way to avoid creating extra sparks."

For a moment, I didn't know what they were talking about.

But I immediately understood.

In short, Aurelia saw the popularity of Lambert and became scared that her position would be taken away where the battle against the outside world had settled.

But even if I could understand, I wasn't convinced.

"Oh, that's stupid! Your Majesty Aurelia suspected me of conspiracy!?

I knew that rumors like that had flown once.

It was flushed by a jealous nobleman at the birth of Lambert.

Nor did Aurelia seem to care at all.

And Lambert and Aurelia herself, great best friends.

It is an encouraging and dream-talking companion.

As far as Lambert was concerned, he even had a crush on Aurelia.

But he defended his position, and never put it on the table.

For Lambert, Aurelia was a benefactor, master, best friend, and thinker.

"No... that should be..."

But it's hard to think of anything like Griff coming for his own life, except Aurelia's life, the master.

It is true that Aurelia, as a royalty, is obliged to pick as soon as possible if there are disturbing buds.

Even if you thought 90% must be a lie, if you're willing to doubt the remaining 10%, you can't bet there.

At any rate, it is the throne that is on the balance, and the future of the country.

But Lambert couldn't have been convinced either.

"Your Majesty... why... I have never been so..."

Lambert gets to his knees.

A grip falls out of your hand and your sword falls to the ground.

At that moment when the sword made a raging noise, Griff stood up vigorously and poked Lambert's torso armor vigorously with his sword.

Lambert has no power to resist, and flutters back.

Griff then tackles Lambert, releasing his sword moves from zero distance to fly away.

Lambert's body floated in the universe.

"... ah"

Lambert stepped off to the cliff.

He rushed to grab something with his hand and his hand touched Griff's sword.

"I'll give you that. Hero Lambert."

Griff let go of his sword as it was.

Lambert's body fell to the bottom of the cliff.

Two months later, the Kingdom of Legions achieved the reunification of the western countries of the Warrimian continent and finally put an end to the period of war that spanned more than four hundred years.

The name of the hero Griff will be known for a long time as a loyal minister of Aurelia, king of unity in the western part of the continent.
