I examined the recruits as extras.
“You're crazy, right? Survive the plague! ”
The recruits protested.
Haman shakes his head and says,
“I told you, there's hardly ever going to be any deaths during training. You must cooperate and endure this ordeal. That's the drill. ”
“Almost? What does almost mean? I thought you said there could be casualties! ”
It's absurd.
They're all terrified.
Some said they would give up training.
“Pathetic.”
There were more failures than I expected.
But I don't intend to lower my training strength.
These exercises are fundamental.
It was part of training in the heavenly army.
Vampires have no guidance, and do not obstruct day and night.
It was natural to build stamina as a march.
The Vampire's nails and teeth are poisonous and spread disease.
Resistance to plague is a training to grow and adapt to it.
Of course, that's not all.
Cooperation is also included.
50 people with the first plague.
This is the Red Cross of the Holy See.
Evaluations are made as to whether recruits will take care of their colleagues or take responsibility for their colleagues.
Vampires are powerful.
One or two foolish soldiers cannot win.
That's why teamwork was important and required a sense of belonging.
A week from now.
In the meantime, I will keep an eye on them.
Time passed quickly.
The disease continued to spread.
If any of you have the plague, the recruits are colleagues, but they are distant.
They will be disqualified.
“Hey, I thought you said you were a drug dealer. ”
Late at night, I turned my head.
The new recruits approach me.
“Don't you have a cure? ”
“I'm afraid not. ”
“Shit, what about the mask you're wearing? I heard that masks like that can stop plague."
“There is actually such a function, but this is all I have. ”
The rookies stared at me.
One of the recruits reached out to me and grabbed my collar.
“If you had that mask, wouldn't you have medicine? Give me the pills, my colleague is dying! ”
Looks pretty nervous.
“You can give up. Surrender and the priests will heal you. ”
“Damn, because he won't give up! He came out screaming in the countryside. He's been bragging about knighthood ever since he was a kid. By the way..."
“Hey, soldier, what are you doing? ”
Haman approached and said.
The recruit swallows his groans and lets go of the hand that grabbed his collar.
“Unfortunately, there is no medicine, only medicine for the wounds you supplied. The rest of the stuff was confiscated. ”
“What about the mask? ”
“They say it's appropriate to use as a healer's mask. ”
The recruit kicks his tongue.
That's enough to pass.
I knew it was for my colleagues and acted rationally even though it was urgent.
I enter the tent with the Grill crew.
“Cough! Cough! ”
The grill coughs and suffers from high fever.
Yuria wiped the grill's forehead with a damp handkerchief.
Edolf's eyes melt the water he lacks.
These three are also acceptance points.
“Sir, just give up. I'm going to die.”
“Don't be ridiculous! Charlotte became a paladin through this difficult process. I had a daughter, but I don't think he could do it!"
“That's enough of your delusions. ”
“I'm not delusional! ”
The grill denied Yuria's words.
Edolf grabs the grill's wrist, checks the mac, and gives it a kick.
“Do you know medicine? ”
Edolf said to my question:
“As a mercenary, you're on first aid. It won't even give me a cold. ”
Edolf looks at me and says,
"Hey, do you have any treatment? They must have recovered everything but the supplies, but he's still a pharmacist, so you know how to see him. ”
I pulled the jar out of my chest.
Perfect timing.
I sent them a letter in the name of [Extra] and wanted to send Hans' elixir, but since you've met him like this, you'd better deliver it to him in person.
“If it's medicine, I have this. ”
“What is it?”
“Universal Potion. But it stinks. ”
I opened the lid.
There was a stench in the tent.
The recruits shout if they can smell it from outside.
“What's that smell? ”
“It smells like a corpse. ”
“Oh, my God, is he dead?! ”
A grill with a high fever.
I twisted my head to see if the smell was enough to make me puke on my bag.
Yuria's face became pale.
“... my bag! ”
Yuria slaps the grill on the back of the head.
And he's crying looking at his bag.
Edolf frowns, blocking his nose.
It looked like I was holding back my food.
“What's that? ”
“It's literally a potion. It's a mixture of plant sap and holy water. It's good for the disease and will lighten your body. You'll have an immune system for a few days. ”
Edolf has a meaningful expression.
“No poison, by the way. ”
“... I know that. ”
Edolf picks up the jar and gives it to Grill.
“Mr. Edolf, you're not going to feed it to me, are you? ”
“To stop the plague. Grill, eat up. ”
“Oh, my God! I'd rather be isolated. This tent is mine. If all three go out, there will be no problem...! ”
“It's too late. ”
Edolf puts the jar in Grill's mouth.
As Grill struggles, Yuria grunts, grabbing her hand and feet.
“For your information, it must be kept on drinking. ”
In my words, Edolf pushed the jar further in.
The grill flips its eyes as it struggles.
My body sagged.
“Is he dead? ”
“You must have fainted. But you look good. ”
Edolf puts his hand on the grill's forehead.
I sighed of relief as I watched the fever subside.
“The medicine is sure, and if it works right away, it's quite precious...."
I gave the jar to Edolf and Yuria as well.
“I'd like you two to have one, too. ”
“Drink that awful thing? No!”
Yuria shakes her head.
Edolf looked at me.
It's like watching.
“Okay, I'll drink to that. ”
“Yes? Drink? ”
Yuria is surprised, and Edolf delivers the jar to Yuria.
He also shook the jar as he received it.
“Surely we can prevent the plague? ”
“Of course.”
"... Yuria, drink. ”
“Ha, but…. ”
“You said you'd become a paladin and revive the monastery. If you get the plague here and get away with it, it'll be a horse-duck. ”
“Okay."
Yuria closed her eyes, opened her lid, and drank in one mouth.
Edolf drinks it all at once.
The two of them groaned in agony.
The blue complexion seems to be making me sick.
“Healthy medicine is bitter. ”
I smiled and said, coming out of the tent.
“Then rest well. ”
“Wait."
Edolf staggers to his feet.
He looked at me and said,
“I'd like to speak to you alone. ”
At that, I tilted my head.
“Everybody up! ”
Haman shouts.
The recruits wake up and look at Haman.
“Now I give you a chance! ”
Haman gives the recruits an unshakeable look.
“I'll give you a chance to give up, to go back to your normal life, so that you don't have any more horrible memories. If you want to give up, take it and get in the wagon. I'll send you home. ”
Haman says the recruits are all aware.
Abandon what?
The march, we survived the plague, and now we have to give up?
That's ridiculous.
When the recruits were silent, Haman said.
“Then I see you've all agreed to the next exercise. ”
Haman sighs briefly.
“Climb the wall, now to the next exercise. ”
“Next training? ”
Edolf asked curiously.
It must be amazing to train at a time when the plague isn't cured.
But it's not his concern.
The next training will be at their best.
I looked at Edolf and said,
“Let us hear your story, on the Wall. ”
* *
Edolf climbs the wall.
The grill sniffs and rubs its nose, while Yuria stomps the grill.
The morning sun rises above the Wall.
The surroundings lit up.,
Above the tall walls, more than 800 survivors look stunned.
They gaze at Aslan's land beyond the Wall in amazement.
“What kind of lunatic are you? Aslan called it the Land of the Dead! ”
Aslan, it was a wondrous land.
Half a desert, half a meadow.
I saw houses built using plants from afar, and settled in villages and ranches.
The land of the dead was transforming into the land of the living.
“Great land, isn't it? ”
Edolf turns his gaze and looks at the extra.
Extra turns to look at Edolf and asks.
“So, what's the story? ”
“I have a question. ”
“Questions? ”
“How many more exercises do we have left? ”
The extras tilt their heads.
“What are you talking about? ”
“I endured marches, plagues, and more. Now we're up the wall. This is what you would expect, a rapid fall from the Wall. But if you think about training robbers so far.... What is it this time? Is it going without safety? ”
“Sounds like I'm a trainer or a judge. ”
“Yes, it looks that way. ”
Edolf said without hiding.
“I came here to check on the people who were near me. ”
Edolf observed those who didn't have instructions during the march.
It's because he decided it would be good to be a colleague later and to have connections.
“And in the march, there were some strangely strong people. ”
Edolf prides himself on his work as a mercenary, but many endure it.
“Oh? So? ”
“I'm sure they'll be able to complete all the training. But suddenly you have the plague. ”
“Go on. ”
People who initially had the plague.
About 50 people complained of extreme pain and gave up training without lasting 5 days.
Even the marches gave up because they were sick.
In addition, the epidemic that spread since then was worse than those who had the first epidemic, even though it was horrible.
Edolf's idea that he was just a cheater.
“Finally, you're wearing a mask to prevent plague? ”
“... this is just a form. ”
Extras once again made a sound.
“Excellent! Yes, you guessed right, Edolf. ”
Edolf was impressed by the extras' gentle admission.
“But something's wrong. Climbing over the Wall is not just about training to climb down the Wall."
At that moment, there was a commotion on the wall.
“Holy Mother!”
“Holy Lady!"
Grill and Yuria stare down at the wall in surprise at the screams of the recruits.
A wagon arrives and Elise is getting off.
Elise waves to support the recruits on the wall.
Edolf's eyes are filled with confusion.
“Why is she here...? ”
“Why do you think? ”
Elise falls slightly off the wall.
Priests surround the walls around her.
On their knees, they pray, and Elise calls out to the choir.
“Edolf.”
Edolf stares at the extra, flawed.
The Extra steps back and away from Edolf.
“I'm a juror, like you said. And...”
In the mask, the extra smiles and raises a finger.
“I'm an observer of how much training you can endure. ”
I flicked my finger.
A golden rune, Aztalun, spreads like silk around the extra.
Reaches the shrine and Elise beneath the Wall and spits out their power.
“Declaration of Sanctuary. ”
Powerful spirit.
Edolf and the soldiers near the Extra stand back, overwhelmed by power.
Edolf opens his eyes, covering his face with his hands.
Oh my God, this power...!
“No way, Huang... ”
“What's that? ”
One of the recruits screams.
Everyone's gaze shifts away from the Extra, and heads for Aslan soil beyond the Wall.
In the morning, as the sun rises, a white army crawls out onto the bright land.
White bones, creatures wearing white armor and scattering light from eyeholes.
The recruits harden and unconsciously open their mouths.
“Holy.... Undead?”
A thousand sacred undead.
And there are those who lead them to the front.
Flashes a long white cloak.
A large cross shield and a paladin holding a sword stand out in a suit of armor.
Charlotte Heriz.
She leads the Holy Undead to the Wall.
It is not just the undead.
They even had siege weapons.
It's like we're about to take down a wall.
The dead point at the Muskets.
Skeleton Maze, carrying a Musket [Advanced] by Aztalun, glances at the newcomers on the Wall.
They put their finger on the trigger.
Edolf turns his gaze and looks at the extra.
“This is not the training I'm going to do...! ”
At that moment, Christmas pierces Edolf's arm and cuts him off.
“Huh...? ”
Edolf's eyes widen.
I can see his arm rising into the air.
“Next training. Edolf.”
Edolf's gaze returns.
Extra takes off the mask. His face is visible between the slightly twisted masks.
Curved eyes and curled lips like a crescent.
“Defend the Wall against the Holy Undead. One hour. Training subjects are siege wars."
To Edolf, his expression was truly cruel.
