Haroon

Marts Plain

Harun's group reaches the closest terrace city to Mats Plain through the warp, with considerable numbers. There were four figures from the Imperial Palace, including twenty Aka warriors and four wizards from the Horse Tower.

Through unwinding ahead of the training, Illum, who overcame the aftermath of the warp, hangover and dizziness, approached Harun.

"Commander Harun, how will you get to Mats Plain?"

Illum's attitude has changed a lot since the last demonstration. Born a knight, he acknowledged the force of Harun and the storm troopers, and as a result he was not as rude as before.

"We should walk."

"Won't that take a while?"

This is Illum, concerned about the loss of maneuverability, but he did not know that Harun could not ride.

"The Dar River, the gateway to Matsu Plain, is just over that low mountain. It doesn't seem easy to travel on horseback, although it's not that hectic. And there are things to look at along the way."

First, it was to carry out the quest for the Tower. It was built along the Dar River in the old days.

After Matsu Plain became a land of horseshoes, logistics distributed from the Pyrin Empire to the Shin Theron Empire have still been distributed through the old highway, which was built a day or two or three away from the Dar River.

If it is as expected, you will be able to arrive on the third day. We should investigate there first and then follow the course. Harun, the leader of this group, has something to do with it anyway. As a room, I'm a little frustrated with walking, but I can't help it.

I had already greeted him in Demo City, but the wizard who was walking the same path had face-to-face or heard his name, so I was gathering and talking to him. Only the Knights, including Illum, gathered separately and were having a conversation in a low voice.

After some time, Harun confirms that people have escaped from the aftermath of the warp and shares their roles.

"Commander Tino should talk to Remi, set a course for him, and look at his spine. Durbone takes the lead, Dion takes the lead. Let's get going."

"Yes, commander."

The three of them immediately replied and went to their seats. The four wizards in the client tower, the knights and wizards in the imperial palace, were placed at the center of the advance, and the crew and warriors were all wrapped to the right and to the left. To minimize the damage they would suffer, even under the circumstances.

"Commander, let's head northwest for now."

Remi, who knows the geography of the area, sets off toward a faded head down one of the long stretched ridges.

Da-da-da!

Tino's little statue rises away with a few foot clouds of dust.

"Whoa! That was fast."

"I see. It's like you put haystack magic on a bridge."

The wizards dispatched from the Horse Tower were amazed. Every time he dug up the ground, his new brother rushed forward like a bird. The Imperial people, including Illum, were very surprised.

I knew it!

It's only been a few days since I transferred my messenger working skills, but it was very quick to accept that I had trained my lower skill, the messenger moving skill, for more than decades.

Tino used to move much lighter and faster than others even when Mana could not be used, but now he has to use Mana, so his speed was tremendous.

Harun, who had already seen Tino's back to the ridge far away, was able to draw a smile on his face without even looking.

He will feel the Mana coming in through the soles of his feet and thighs towards the Mana Ocean. And the moment that Mana is compressed and released outside, she will feel a joy that cannot be expressed in words as if her body were shot like an arrow. You did, too.

The instant messenger walking skill, just before mastering advanced stages, made me feel really good about taking the dark Mana the earth holds through my feet into my body.

"You have to cross the Dar River and enter Mats Plain today."

As Remi approaches, Harun nods.

With the exception of a couple of long hills bounded by Matsu Plain, the overall elevation and slopes were not so high that crossing within Harun did not seem to be too difficult.

"Do you remember the place I told you about yesterday?"

"Yes, I know where it is. because it was one of those resting places."

"You did?"

"Yes, I know it's one of the buildings that used to run the canals connected to the Dar River."

"The canal?"

"The canal control station used hundreds of years ago, but there are still traces of it."

If it was a plains that produced food that could feed the entire empire, water would be essential.

Harun makes a light mockery of Lemi and Mats Plain by talking about the approximate topography.

Whether it was just a departure or an excitement about an event waiting for them, the wizards' feet were also full of strength.

I moved to a pattern where I took a short break once every two hours. It may have been a bit of a parade for the wizards, but they were more than five circles long, so they followed it with proper magic.

After lunch, the group heads up between the crescent ridges and sees distant views of Mats Plain.

"Oh!"

"Fantastic!"

Admirations poured out of people's mouths. Rather than the spectacular appearance of the david mountain range, it was a token of the great earth in between.

The Devil Mountains seemed to feel as if they were a blurry plains where adult men would walk for a full day.

"That kind of land is abandoned like that."

"That's all because of the horses."

Hearing people's stories, Harun also has a sad feeling. It was a shame that the vast expanse of land and large quantities of Dar River allowed many people to be fed and left to flourish.

The strange thing is that Mats Plain beyond the Dar River looks gloomy. Although it didn't look like rain clouds above the plains, there were a lot of dark clouds, so it looked dark and dark overall.

"That's weird."

In essence, clouds had to move according to the flow of the atmosphere, but not the clouds that were staying above Matsu Plain. Harun looks around, but no one feels what he observed.

Is that a big deal? '

Since I'm not originally a resident of this world, Harun is too vague to ask about this natural phenomenon.

Those who took a short rest on the ridge sped up their way down.

He had to cross the Dar River before the sun went down. It took about half a day to get up because everyone was united, but it only took me four hours to get down to the river.

The large quantities of Dar River were wide and flowing calmly. In the rainy season, the river bank was about four meters higher than the river. Occasionally, it was peaceful to see the Dar River jumping up and down.

A long time ago, there would have been dozens of bridges on this Dar River.

Through the bridge, crops, including wheat produced on Matsu Plain, would have spread to the world, but Zig could not find a trace of it.

The group's eyes are dazed by the silver scales of the river breaking in the sunlight, and the group is briefly distracted by the Dar River's past and present, but soon return to reality.

"Captain, how do I get across?"

Auxerre frowns, looking at the 50 metres of strength and the river below. On either side of the river, trees were growing quite large, just like the others. The upstream side where they had crossed was only five metres of strength, so they knocked down the trees, but this was not the way to do it.

"If you go along the river, there's a bridge upstream where people go."

Remi says Harun rolls his head for a moment.

The merchants and those heading toward the Shin Theron Empire also moved along the old highway and laid their log bridges upstream to the narrow, but it took them two days to get up from here.

Harun pulls the rope out of his backpack as he looks embarrassed in people's faces.

I didn't think about this situation beforehand, but I could think of a way to cross the river quickly.

It was the same way as it used to be when crossing the Valley of Wind. It was a way of connecting the trees on either side of the river with a rope.

Harun pulls out the rope, and the people's eyes widen.

They could also see how they wanted to leap. It was a good way because there was no talk anyway and no volume or weight bearing.

Bernhard's face is a little stiff.

"Commander, can't you just magically fly across the rope? As you know, the weight of the rope will be greater than the weight of this street."

If the rope of a child's wrist is more than 50 meters thick, like Bernhard said, it weighs enormous.

It's easy to fly over to Fly, a 5-circle magic, but the story changes with a rope that weighs heavier than you.

"You're right. The Fly Magic limit is the weight of the Casting Wizard, and that's a dangerous way to do it."

Serpa, who was dispatched from Pacochu Horse Tower, was also a worried face.

Fly magic defying gravity and floating in the air requires delicate manipulation. Moving in the air is not an easy task. Although the magical field produced by Fly Magic controls the flow of the atmosphere to some extent, it is not so easily disrupted when the strong wind blows.

At the words of the two Madosas, the leaders of the dispatched figures, the atmosphere on the left sank again.

The wizards will make it through, but knights and warriors must swim across, and no one knows what kind of monsters are swarming in that peaceful river.

'Then why are they looking so peaceful?'

Frost, Serpa's apprentice, is strangely unaware of the faces of the thundering mercenaries. Worried about only those who were dispatched from the tower and those dispatched from the Imperial Court.

"Don't worry."

Harun asked Tino to make some boards with wide floors. He cut down a relatively small piece of wood and quickly made a plank. Harun securely ties a rope around his waist and holds ten planks handed to him by Tino.

"What are you going to do……?"

"I'm going to run."

"Eek! Jump?"

Serpa and the people's eyes widen when they hear Harun's words. When they see Harun getting ready to take a step back about 10 meters, they are overwhelmed and embarrassed.

"No way!"

Harun starts running as soon as his friendly knight Millthread screams. People breathed in what happened without stopping them.

'You can't mean to jump over this vast river at once?'

Harun, the leader of the heavenly storm troopers, didn't think anyone would do such a crazy thing, but he started running without stopping.

Serpa's eyes immediately turned to Taniella and Myrus.

"Curiosity, not anxiety or worry? What?"

Serpa's mind was even more perplexed to see the light of strong curiosity rising in their eyes instead of expected emotions. A crew like this. Serpa turns his gaze to Harun, who swallows dry water and flies like a bird.

"Whoa!"

Someone vomited elasticity. It was flying like a bird. That distance was so close to 20 meters that his body, drawn in a parabola, was falling down at about a third of the strength.

No matter how much I tried to help, flying this far was almost impossible, so elasticity burst out.

Then Harun throws the plank in his hand toward the river in front of him. As soon as the plank touches the river and is submerged for a moment, Harun's feet jump back up the plank. Then again, Harun flies forward, throwing a plank and stepping on it, preventing the viewers from shutting up.

Harun's new brother, who stepped on the platform like that and moved five or six times, was suddenly standing on the other side of the river.

"Oh, my God!"

"Is that even possible?"

"Bird, not man! Bird!"

As elasticity erupts, Tino quickly grabs the rope and securely ties it to the tree. Having made proper knots to prevent Tino from loosening, Harun across the street started loosening the rope and tying it to a tree.

Once the rope was firmly connected to the trees on either side of the river, Tino distributed the various items made after making the planks to the people.

It was a kind of rope made of smooth, tough wood lining. It was just too big and too thick to see it with a simple rope.

"How do you use this?"

"You can just tuck it between your palms and hang it on a rope."

Tino demonstrates. He ties a rope over the rope, puts his hands on it, and clasps.

"Wow! That's amazing."

Auxer gives you an interesting look, and instead of Tino, he grabs the rope and chips. There was a gap of two or three meters between the tree and the bank of the river, and he started rolling his feet with his clasps.

"Gas!"

Along with the suppressed elasticity, Auxer's strong body begins to shoot down toward the other side of the river, which is lower.

"Whoa!"

In an instant, Auxerre came to the middle of the lecture, shouting for excitement and joy. It felt really great to fly in the cool breeze. Flying over a silver glowing river was very special and enjoyable. His body was able to land safely by Harun as soon as he crossed the river.

An Auxerre lets go of the rope, staggering for a moment, then yells out to this side of the pose.

"Get over here! I feel great!"

In Auxer's words, the warriors struggle to get the rope from Tino's hand like a wooden shell and head for the rope.

Then Dar River began to fly across like a bird. They can't be found unless they're terrified.

"Commander, is this safe?"

Serpa looks at the abrupt rope and gives you a slightly uneasy look.

"Don't worry. It doesn't matter if you cross it once."

"I'd like to try it, too."

Serpa considers crossing the river with his Fly magic, but seems to feel a strong temptation to Harun and his warriors. I don't know when he's had this experience. It was Serpa who dared to challenge after some hesitation because he was a challenging wizard.

"Woohoo!"

Unlike magic, the feeling of flying over a river of silver breaking through the air at a faster rate was much more exquisite than I expected. Unlike Fly's spell, I felt like a bird. Exciting excitement that has never been experienced has spread throughout the body.

"Oh my! Already?"

Serpa quickly crossed the river and tasted it with the face described above.

"Hahaha! I guess that was fun."

"Haha! This tastes even more exciting than I thought. Commander."

Harun smiles brightly, looking at Serpa's excited face like a child. I liked this pretentious face.

The others crossed the river one by one. Some people had their faces whitened, but after crossing the river, they had a sad face without exception. I was fascinated by the tension of falling into the river and the excitement of cutting through the air.

"That was brilliant. Where the hell did you learn to do that?"

The town asks Henny as he sets off into the plains. Unlike the wizards, his face, which had never flown above this height, was still recalled. The same was true of Milthread's reaction beside him.

"Haha! This is how we mercenaries use it sometimes."

"Excellent. Mercenaries actually had some prejudice, but at least for the commander and the storm troopers, I'll give that up." "

Taut thanked Henny for answering with a nod, thinking that the life of the mercenary might not be worse than he thought.

Unlike when we started out, it seemed like the atmosphere had gotten better because everyone was experiencing exciting and enjoyable entertainment together. There was still a lot of sun when I arrived at the scheduled place, thanks to the quick crossing in a clever way.

"This is it."

Remi led them to the edge of a canal where the Dar River flows into Mats Plain. The ruins of a magnificent building were scattered, as they were shown hundreds of years ago. Particularly baked bricks have been visible for many years.

The waterway was almost filling up because it was not managed, but the stream was still thin. The gateway that draws in and blocks the water is the only sign that disappears.

Tino and his crew lead the warriors and begin to build a camp. This time, Tino, who took out a large, versatile shovel from Demo City, dug a ditch and leveled the ground with familiar skill. The Aka warriors were unfamiliar with this, but they teased the multi-purpose shovels that Tino had worked hard for.

In the Tarim Workshop, a cozy dragonfly was completed by hitting the tent made of water-resistant Orc leather, and placing a carpet made of wall-to-the-wall leather inside.

The bristles of the horse hide are so warm and supple that the wizards and imperial staff of the horse tower who have been lying down for a while also smiled satisfactorily.

Donnes and Marie were in charge of the meal. Influenced by Harun, who liked stew, Donnes boiled the stew using pre-prepared meat flour, vegetables, and seasonings, as well as prepared bread and fruit.

"It's really good."

"This stew is boiling properly."

This stew was boiled from a recipe Donnes learned from Mrs. Ypran in Calpran. The wizards of the tower and the knights of the imperial palace ate three bowls in awe of the stew. The academic warriors were satisfied with Stu's spiciness and rich broth as well.

"Sis, how do you make this?"

Lemi and even Durbon, who didn't seem to be interested in cooking at all, fell in love with the stew and followed Donnes around asking for recipes. The first people I met this morning with a different purpose were opening their minds to each other, sharing such a joyful experience and delicious food.

It was the second afternoon I came to Matsu Plain.

"I think the air is rising."

"Yeah. It's a place that's suddenly starting to feel bad."

Millthreads and towns sweat in the middle of a procession. The Mats Plain they experienced was a vast meadow, with the exception of some forests, but somehow it felt bad. It was good because the sun was not hot because of the clouds covered with dark clouds, but I didn't like the air.

It's a meadow, but it's low rainfall, so the dust is quite heavy and the grass is parched. Moreover, the soil was poor, and the trees did not grow well, and the grass was mostly scarce to come to the ankles.

"It's a strange place, as I've heard."

"That's right. Of course, a plains like this should make you feel better as if your heart is breaking open, but somehow the air and the energy of the earth and plants feel dark." "

The wizards were moving together in small voices. Their faces hardened even more unknowingly. The more I headed towards the plain, I felt like I was walking towards the trench.

"It's good to have good food and a comfortable bed, though."

In Serpa's words, the wizards praised the caring of the gale mercenaries for their movements. Despite being homeless because of them, it felt like a picnic. The maestros were on a massive journey, thanks to the well-rested and well-functioning camping equipment.

"That commander guy is amazing."

With someone's amazement, people's gaze was cast from afar into the dust winds. In about two kilometers ahead, the dust is caused by Tino, who is in charge of the spine. Tino's posterior radius was quite wide. He was scouting all the 90-degree angles in sections around the direction in which the group would move.

"The fame of the storm wasn't nonsense."

"I've never seen anyone move that fast in my life."

The wizards, as well as the knights, stick their tongues out at Tino's pace. It was moving fast enough to compare with running on a horse. The more time he spent counting, the faster he was moving, rather than tiring.

I can't be amazed when I go running around like that all day long, but when I get used to it, I don't get tired at all. It was the same with the Marina warriors who became the latest members.

"Sis, is my commander going to be okay?"

"Hehe! It's okay. I'm still practicing. The commander must have told you something. Look! It's rushing."

Donneis smiles brightly and replies to Marie's concerns. Her husband Tino was completely different now. Unlike before, I was overconfident because I became Exporter, and after I learned something from the commander not long ago, I felt much more energetic.

He's been running and running all day, but instead of tiring, he's getting stronger every day. She knew it better than anyone, because the two of them had loved each other late at night and were enjoying each other's little tents with the commander's attention.

Donnes' eyes were so warm and strong that he could see his husband Tino moving in the dust and the commander walking silently in the lead.

There were some strong Aka men behind the wheel, but they deliberately made me watch the backbone for Tino's training. Whether Tino mastered messenger moving or his messenger walking skills were improving differently every day.

Suddenly, the dust he created disappeared. Tino's appearance disappears with the dust. At that moment, Harun's right hand rises high.]

"Stop!"

The people stopped and the men and warriors made rounds. Harun and Dylan were the only ones out there, and the rest made easy progress on the defenses just in case.

"Lord Dylan will take over. Looks like something's going on down that hill."

"Very well. Be careful."

After Dylan's escort, Harun's body stirs up a cloud of dust, rushing toward Tino's stop. After Harun's appearance disappears from the people's eyes, Serpa sticks out his tongue.

"You're not human."

The last time I crossed the river, I was surprised, but Harun's fast disappearing was really great.

"Havest magic wouldn't be so fast. Blink magic."

"That's right. That's not why it's so great. I can see why King Aggresia was so impressed with Captain Harun and the storm troopers."

The three wizards nod at Serpa's words. The Imperial Knights beside them were also surprised. I never imagined a man with such speed.

"If you meet someone like that on the battlefield… Whew! It's horrible just thinking about it. '

Millthread, who imagined a battle with Commander Harun that surpassed the horse at full speed, trembled without his knowledge. It was something I could never face. Like that, most knights were so used to dealing with heavy armor and heavy soldiers that it was very difficult to deal with a prosecutor with such speed.

Those who waited for a moment saw two dust winds rushing towards them. The dust winds were Harun and Tino. Harun's eyes were filled with strange radiance.

"A lot of skeletons are attacking a group of people at the bottom of the hill ahead."

"Skeleton? Then?"

"Yes, perhaps there is a Black Wizard."

If there is a Skeleton, there must be a Black Wizard. Of course, the Necromancer was able to move the skeleton even though the Necromancer was born with a strong affinity for the negative dimension, but the Necromancer had not shown it for more than a thousand years.

"Well, let's go now."

The faces of the wizards dispatched from Pacochu Horse tower are fluttering. I didn't expect to find any Dark Magic traces so soon.

"But those under attack seem to be priests and paladins."

"The High Septon?"

It was a really sudden situation. Why is there a priest and a paladin here?

"What would you do?"

"What's the situation?"

"The synagogues seem weary that the battle has gone on for quite some time."

"Then I'll help you."

Harun wanted to find the Black Wizard controlling the Skeleton Soldiers in the cancer and attack them, but he didn't take it out. With these brightly drilled plains, you will soon find your origins.

"Let's keep the noise down and move as fast as we can."

The group, as Harun has said, begins to move toward the hills, each with a minimum reduction.

Serpa looks at his disciple as he makes his move.

"Frost, get ready to save the footage."

"Yes, Master."

I didn't expect to find traces of dark magic so early. This journey seemed luckier than I expected.

Frost, the youngest of the wizards, quickly took out his magical armor at the words of Serpa. It was a mediator that stored and showed images with a crystal ball the size of a child's fist.
