From a terminal Soldier to Monarch

As soon as we entered the High Guard, the city's guard commander welcomed us.

“I'm familiar with your reputation. Squire Chris, you don't have a knight with you, do you? ”

“Yes. Luckily so. ”

The guard commander was a grubby man with a moderate beard. He smiled and led us to the largest inn in the city.

“Baron Cyan is out to greet Prince McDreamy, so he can stay here. Don't be too uncomfortable with the hundred soldiers at the Birch's Mansion because their hands are so complicated. ”

“Thank you for your consideration. ”

He could not take his place with a hundred armed men in a homeless house. The inn led by the Guard Commander there was also quite prestigious.

“When will the prince arrive? ”

“He'll be here when the sun stays over our heads. I think it's a little late. What happened? ”

“I met with a group of goblins on my way here and delayed it for a moment. ”

“Goblins?”

Inside the triangle is a troop that periodically communicates with the surrounding area to prevent monsters and bandits from entering. It was also natural for the guard commander to raise questions.

“It wasn't a big deal. I thought maybe he got kicked out. ”

“At least I'm glad. ”

“Yes. I'm glad I didn't see him while I was escorting him. ”

He nods and smiles.

“Have you ever been to the High Guard? ”

“This is my first time.”

“Then you have some time. Take a look around. It'll be fun because it's not like Dave. ”

Along with that, the guard commander leaves with a loving smile.

“Let's eat first. ”

I served every white soldier a meal and filled my stomach.

“Chief! ”

“Thank you for the meal! ”

As I took the prize, Mecoy glanced at me with his seat beside him.

“Where did such money...”

“You just have to collect your salary. ”

When I cut off my horse, he looked at me and opened his eyes again. Why are you sitting next to me? If you don't want to eat with the soldiers, the only place left is here. I ignored the mecois and tasted the prepared food.

‘That's good.’

The eggs fried around pig oil on a flat iron plate were sued, and the bacon was reasonably salty. I felt relieved after eating the bread and chicken stew I just baked there.

I looked outside for a while in my spare time. And I soon felt better about his stinking city.

“No, that's not enough. ”

“Oh, do me a favor. Three gold coins is not expensive. ”

When the stubborn merchant shakes his head and the bargain doesn't work, some people buy clothes with a rotten face.

“Try one of these! It's a recipe from the Northern Empire, far away. ”

There were some who sold street food in ridicule. Daved was a quiet and secluded urban landscape, but the High Guard was the opposite.

Earl Ludwig's largest trading city, the city between the royal archipelago and David, has been visited by a wide variety of people.

As the sun rises over my head, I take all my forces outside.

“Whew.”

You can see Mecoy breathing deeply by her side. I felt tense.

“You nervous?"

“It's not even close to diarrhea. ”

Oh, boy. People ask me because they're worried, and I get it annoyed. The High Guard had two gates, an eastern gate to David and an eastern gate to the Kingdom.

As you head out to the west gate, you see a group coming from a distance.

The guard commander follows you and opens his mouth at your side.

“I am the messenger of the Prince. ”

“Looks that way. ”

As I went out for a ride, I found a knight who brushed his hair flat in front of me.

“Let the prince march. ”

A white man makes his way to the side, and I go out in front and kneel on one knee.

“This is Esquire Chris with an escort troop under the command of Earl Ludwig. ”

As the knight on the horse stops walking, the luxurious wagon that was naturally following behind him also stops. Around that area are about thirty men who were followed for escort.

Good boy.

When the wagon stops and the door opens, everyone but the escort lowers position. Waiting in front of him, I began to wonder about the famous wretch, Prince Three.

“Raise your head. ”

It was an at voice. There you see a boy expressing tiredness and annoyance with his face. He seemed to be a few years younger than me.

A knight from the horse just said to the prince beside him,

“This is Squire Chris with the greatest achievement on the battlefield. ”

“What are you looking at? Can you pull out your eyes for blasphemy? ”

The prince went back to the wagon with the horse. Hmm. I guess I don't have a very good personality. I didn't even get a chance to say hello.

Whether this happened once or twice, the prince's neighbours did not go unnoticed.

“Wake up, Squire Chris. Fulfill your duties. ”

The knight said, I turned around and said,

“All escorts, form up. ”

As the soldiers scattered around the wagon, the man who walked out of the wagon came to me with a protruding boat.

“I am Seward Science, the head of the High Guard. ”

“It's an honor to meet you. ”

He nods his head as he greets you.

“I'm all set to leave immediately. Now that you've left the gate open and put down the bridge, you can go right away. ”

Baron Cyan seems eager to get that bomb-like prince out of his city. I had a straight answer from him.

“Then I'll head straight for David. ”

We just crossed the city. After that, there was no word in the wagon, and even the knight on the horse quietly opened the road in front of him.

As you pass by the city, the noise clears up and only those who lay flat on the road remain. As the children lifted their heads in curiosity, they could see the mother immediately next to them scolding without a sound.

“May I move on to breaking news? ”

“Granted."

When I asked the knight, he nodded. The sun shines over my head, but if I walk diligently, I will arrive at Daved in less than a day.

It was also a good time to be on the road just to be carefree, even though it stretched out smoothly inside the Triangle. If I'm going to ambush them, I'll be up this road. I expected that from the beginning.

Mecoy followed me around without opening his mouth once with a stiff face. And as I was moving away from the High Guard, what I was waiting for happened.

“Who are you?”

As the knight on the horse shouts, a shadow suddenly pops out of the forest next to him.

Puck! Puck!

“Grr!”

“Ambush!”

It was unpredictable for anyone but me.

“You!”

The knight on the horse draws a longsword from his waist and swings it.

Chang!

The sound of a lump of iron striking echoes through the air. There were two who stood in his way. There were advantages to being on the horse, but it didn't seem so dominant.

"A lot."

There were more than I expected At least twenty, most of them looked like apprentices.

Meanwhile, Meco and those who were after me rushed in.

“Don't die. ”

He cheers Mecoi on the hatred and raises his spear at me.

Kick!

My spear had a heavy weight made entirely of iron. The opposing Pokémon's sword bounces back emptyly. I look through the gap, but I step back without attacking, keeping my eye on things around me.

“Chug!”

“Ow!”

The escort has fallen to nothing. In addition to the knight on horseback, a few stopped the enemy's sword, but it was thirteen.

‘Different levels.'

More than half of the raiding party had the skills of an apprentice knight, but not the rest. At least seven were knights.

Hee-young!

“Profit! Protect the Prince! ”

While looking back for a moment, you can see if the horse's legs have been cut off or if the horse has fallen to the ground with blood sprinkled. The knight raises his sword and shouts, "Stop the enemy." I raise my spear against the opposing team and concentrate on the prince's wagon.

It was not time to move yet.

Get it, get it!

After stopping the attack a couple of times, the man who attacked me frowns.

“I can't do this alone. ”

Then one came running and stood in front of me. They were both apprentices. And that's when the moment I was waiting for came.

“We're through! Protect the prince! ”

“Stop him!”

A part of the prince's garrison of walled guards collapses dead.

I knew what was coming, and I kept my mouth shut. I knew this would happen. If I had told you there was a hostile horde, you could have stopped this raid from happening. But I didn't. I had to.

This escort mission was poison and a crisis. I was supposed to be in charge of the prince's escort even after that jackass arrived in David's steady state. I don't get tired of being a dwarf until now, but it will be different later. There were a lot of things that were hard to handle just hearing rumors.

So I waited for an opportunity. It was an opportunity in crisis.

Hold the other end of the window with your left hand in the middle of the spear and your right hand on the other end.

“Hot!”

You show the skill you learned from the two of you racing into battle. He said it was a spear resembling the tongue of a snake.

Strongly swings the right hand holding the tip of the spear based on the immense power made from training. The window shifted like crazy. At that moment, I empowered my left hand holding the middle of the window, and it reached out to the left and right as if it were two windows.

A spear swiftly swinging from side to side like a snake sticking out its tongue. It was a skill called Snake Tong.

Shutter! Shutter!

"Hic!"

"Ugh!"

The spear slits his left chest deep and halves his right belly to escape. It was fatal.

I turned my back on my enemies and ran. I threw away the running without a sound and hit the ground at full speed.

One of the brightest eyes was just tearing out the entrance of the wagon and pulling out the prince.

“Let go of me! ”

Around the time the man holding the prince was just hurting him, I wielded the tip of the spear with both hands.

Sheing!

The iron spear is strong enough to make it seem to bend at the moment.

“Avoid!”

His colleague shouts right next to him. It was too late for warnings.

I'm fine!

My spear punched him in the abdomen.

"Aah!"

His legs are shattered, screaming and flying to one side. In the middle, the prince rolls over the pavement. The prince, who rolled around in a dugout, stops at the enemy's feet.

The distance between the enemy and the prince was only two steps, and the distance between me and the prince was more than five steps.

“Damn it!”

The one right in front of you runs and points the sword at the prince. It's a crisis. Reflexively, I put my hand in my chest. The Throwing Dagger has been caught. But I didn't throw. Opportunity was at stake.

I left the base momentarily. You showed the second skill you learned from Technologies at the same time.

A charger that can charge off a horse. It's a mobile device. It was a skill called Dash.

Bend your knees halfway and gather all your strength on the ground. When the enemy took a step, I hit the ground.

Boom!

A loud bang erupts and the surrounding objects swoop by. I put my left forearm to the sword that he uncovered, instead of using my spear to block the enemy.

Avoid the presence of iron subgroups and hide them.

Spatula!

The bloodstream splashes into the air, accompanied by hot heat. It wasn't deep in Beijing, but the performance was great. Your body stopped the blade that was aiming for him in front of the prince.

“Are you all right?”

I stumbled in front of the prince and asked. He lowers himself down to see a bloody forearm in front of his eyes.

“Hak, off. Help me."

As a prince, he said in a boy who was not much older than dignity.

“Of course.”

And standing in front of him, I said in a confident young tone.

“As long as I'm here, I can't reach into the prince's prison. ”

The opportunity is in crisis, and there are two things I get out of this crisis. He admired the young prince and was famous for saving him by sacrificing himself.
