Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 5. Earl Frost Army (1)

Two or two!

Lycaen glances back at you for a loud hoof.

“Hmm? What's wrong with him? ”

Anton tilts his head as he looks back along Lycaen.

“I don't know. ”

It was Caith, a friend of Lycaen and owner of Earl Gronst, who was running around with a pile of cloudy dust.

In an instant, Caith narrows his distance, hurrying to stop by Riyaen's side.

Hee-young!

When the horse stops screaming, all around Lycaen there is dust.

“Phew! What? ”

Lycaen frowns and asks, shaking dust with his hands.

In saying this, Caith said, making an impression even more than Lycaen.

“My friend, do you have a grudge against me? ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“You don't know? ”

“If you knew, would you ask? ”

“Dammit, his pranks……. Anyway, let's take it slow. ”

Lycaen tilts his head.

“What do you mean, slow down? So, are we going fast? ”

“Did you think I was going to be late? ”

The quickest way downstream from the Pollen River to the west was to travel from Earl Gronst to the Southern Acronian Mountains.

It was also the quickest path for Earl Frocus of Lycaen.

For this reason, the two of them promised to join and travel together from the porter, Leckdus Porto, at the very downstream of the Pollen River. But it was exactly two days after he joined and started moving in Lectus.

Earl Frost's march speed was imperceptible.

Lycaen said in a gruesome voice.

“Why? You followed me well. ”

To be precise, it wasn't that we couldn't keep pace. Earl Gronst was also a well-trained Marine, moving at the pace of Earl Frost's march.

But the next day, the excessive march of the previous day caused them to lose their stamina.

Caith wept and said as if to complain.

“Our children are spreading, you monsters. What's wrong with one day's marching distance to another army in two days? ”

“Phew, do I need to rest today? ”

Caith shakes his head at Lycaen's words.

“There's no need for that... but we'll take the lead. ”

“Then can you go? ”

“Don't underestimate our children. Not as well as you monsters, but they're pretty well trained Elite Soldiers. Because it's hard to keep up with your troop speeds, and if we keep up with our pace, we'll be able to move. ”

“Khh, got it. Then lead the way.”

With a nod, Caith sighs for an unknown amount of time.

“I never thought my children would spread in the march. ”

“Well, it depends on how much training you usually have. ”

“You... suck today. ”

“Well, maybe it's a little bad luck when you're good. But……. ”

Lycaen breathes air around Caith, blurring his words.

“But... what? ”

“Why did you follow your brother? ”

Lycaen asked with a serious look. When I was waiting at Lexus Pogu, when Caith and his brother Shylon appeared together, it was literally colourful.

“Well, he said he'd follow. ”

“I'm still not feeling well. What can I do? ”

“I followed him, arguing that he would be helpful, and it was weird.... He's got a good head. And with that chair, you can move a lot faster than a lot of crazy people, so it's not that dangerous. ”

“You don't know what's going to happen on the battlefield. ”

“Don't worry. He's still a natural magician. You have to protect my body. ”

Lycaen had no choice but to nod as if he didn't care much.

But it wasn't Shaylon he was really worried about. Rather, I was worried about my friend.

Although Caith didn't feel it himself, he felt something strange about him from the first time he saw him. Afterwards, the liver continued to feel that way.

The sudden change in behavior was due to a sudden change in the heart. And usually that kind of change in diameter was likely in a negative direction. That's why when I saw him, I always felt something strange and suspicious.

However, since they followed the fierce battlefield, they had no idea when or what was going to happen, their suspicions became thick.

But it was also vague to say in advance because there was still nothing to be sure about. First we have to keep an eye on him.

“Anyway, go ahead. ”

“Got it!”

In addition to Earl Gronst's forces, there is another man struggling with the march speed of Earl Frost's march. He was just on a cruise with Earl Frost.

“Huff, huff, huff! ”

I wasn't running, I was just walking, and I was out of breath. It was better to run and rest in a heartbeat. I literally felt like I was going to die because I was walking constantly.

“Ugh, ugh! ”

Screams erupted from my mouth every step of the way.

After training as a knight, I was used to riding horses, but I wasn't used to walking like this, so I was blistered on my feet in one day.

The blisters burst and the molten water flows out. The inside of the shoe is already worn out. And every time the blistered area was moving the foot, it was sweeping away and causing even more pain.

Did you do something wrong? ’

Rudy thought that way without me knowing the pain he faced before the war began. However, I hurriedly shook my head.

"If you want to meet Sena! ’

If he had not done so, he would not have seen Senna's face at all. That's why even though it was so painful, he could not regret his decision.

And one more thing. When this war is over and you return to your land, you will see Senna's face. With any luck, you'll be able to win the battle with Senna and win her heart.

“Heave, heave! ”

But the good thing about her is that she's good, and the pain is that she's sick. As I walked, the pain doubled. The blister seemed to have caught on the spot where it exploded.

But I had to walk to the end. If you give up here, you will be treated as worthless by Earl Frost. So I had to hold on.

At that moment, you hear Rudy's ears flash.

“Stop!”

The same shout was being conveyed back and forth from the front. Then the soldier in front of Rudy stops walking.

“Stop!" ”

Rudyl exclaims with all her heart what she said earlier. And I sat there slowly, crumbling, and quickly took off my shoes.

“Whew! ”

As soon as I took off my damp shoes, Rudy's mouth leaked out for a long sigh. I couldn't be so cool.

It was so hard to walk, and I had no idea that a short break would be so sweet. Pleasure I would never have known if I hadn't decided to be a soldier.

Then someone approaches Rudy.

“Are you okay?"

It was Hurley, a senior soldier in the same platoon.

“Oh, yeah. I got some blisters on my feet... ”

You reach out your hand, grab Rudy's foot, and lift it without explanation.

Bang!

“Unh!”

If you're sitting with your feet up, it's natural for your torso to fall behind you. A short scream erupts from Rudy's mouth, his back plate hanging out on the ground.

But I was just looking at Rudy's feet, whether they were or not.

“Turn it off, you haven't even run properly. ”

“Yes? What does that mean? I've been practicing swordplay so hard. ”

“Is it like running with a sword? ”

“Well, maybe not……. ”

“Hmm, how did this one end up in my platoon...? Tsk! It's old, use this. ”

All Hurley gave out was a fist made of wood.

“What is this? ”

“Apply it to the blisters. It's a pill for my family's vision. It's like a blister. ”

“Knng, knng, ugh! ”

Rudyl, who opened the barrel and smelled the scent reflectively, quickly lowers his head, swallowing a violent groan.

“What is that smell... ”

Hurley's fist was fierce behind Rudy's back.

Oh, shit!

“Aah! Don't hit me! ”

It was unimaginable if you knew who Rudy really was. But Rudy had a very natural reaction to his identity, making sure he had no thoughts about it.

It was because of what Lycaen said the day he was stationed on the base.

‘The day it turns out that you are Rudyl Poldenwein, you will return home. And the same is true of disobeying the order within the unit. ’

It was nothing to go home to. However, the less likely it was to occupy Sena, the less likely it was to be like lightning in the dry sky.

That's why Rudy brainwashed himself thoroughly for Senna. I tried hard to forget who I was and worked hard to adapt to the barracks with the rough soldiers.

And in just a few days, such a series of mindset became as natural as it had always been.

“I thought about it and you smelled it? Eerie, it smells so bad, you better get better! ”

“What nonsense is that? ”

At that time, the soldiers from the same platoon resting nearby shouted at Rudy one by one.

“Hey, the new guy's getting to Holly. ”

“Brother Holly, you died of anger. ”

“Oh, don't tell me. If I had done that, I would have buried him already. ”

“Kick, I'm going to bury you tonight. ”
