Running Away From The Hero!

26. Why me? (1)

The leg muscles that have been working for a long time are screaming.

But I can't help it. If you can save your life with the bruising of your leg muscles, of course you can!

“Dad!"

She smiles, waving her hands from afar.

“My brother, it's so peaceful! ”

That tranquility is one of your daughter's charms.

I run hard to wave my hand over the Drake I prepared.

“Bracelet.”

- Yep.

If the iron pickax misfires and that drake falls, there will be no escape.

I have a history of kicking a horse from time to time, so I changed it to an accessory to follow iron.

After a long time, I quickly climbed onto the Drake's saddle and grabbed onto the reins.

Wagons can be used, but the speed of wagons and drakes is as different as the sky and the earth. They really are skywalkers and earthrunners.

“Come on, fly! ”

Get out of here!

Even though I look like this, I have all kinds of experience in evil organizations and have been a butler in the imperial court.

I pride myself on leading a wagon better than anyone else.

- Owner?

Yes. Wagons are well handled. But Drake isn't a horse, he's a drake.

“Are we screwed?”

I whipped him hard, but he was unresponsive.

What do we do?

That's when the dust started flying from afar. It was evidence that someone was running at an incredible speed.

Already?

Even the Demon King could not defeat the most powerful men in the world so quickly!

“Damn it! Let's go to the horse..." ”

“Instructor!"

As I try to get off the Drake, I stop acting on the voices I hear from afar.

“Myrrh?”

“Safe!”

A single jump wipes away the sweat from Mira's massive drake.

“Let's bounce! ”

Mira, who so naturally grabs the top of the drake, knocks on the drake a few times.

Kuooooooooo!

As he looks up at the sky, his roar begins to rise.

“Oh!”

“With a master, you can ride a drake! ”

Ahem!

Mira looked at me with a confident expression.

“Did you learn that to catch me? ”

“Eh……. ”

The answer seemed to be to avoid subtle gaze.

“You're going crazy. ”

Very few of the soldiers are aware of their magic.

It takes a long time to realize the magic of a knight, a spirit, and a very small number of people to become Madosa.

But that's a really minority number.

One in a hundred soldiers who are usually trained in witchcraft. If you have no training, one in a thousand or ten thousand will be able to understand magic.

The path of the chosen.

Other than that, the best position a regular soldier can receive is to become a cavalry man.

Once the cavalry is open to all soldiers.

Horsemen are the best soldiers in the battlefield, even Flowers!

However, this is an illness that requires considerable training and cannot be easily replenished, and the cost of horse care and maintenance is immense.

And some of the articles are like that.

Knights who are basically learning to ride horses, but more importantly, the Wyvern, the Griphon, the Drake!

It's hard to tame the monsters because of their predicament. How hard can it be to tame the monsters themselves?

Maintenance costs go to a decent knighthood there.

And the cost of that training will be inexpensive.

There is also a risk of camels when learning horseback riding, but compared to flying creatures, it is literally the difference between heaven and earth.

Falling at less than a meter above ground is dangerous, but falling from thousands of altitudes!

Every time you train, you'll need to have a lot of wizards standing by, as well as a team of knights who can handle the Wyvern perfectly for control.

Every time you train, you lose a lot of money.

training at such a high cost,

“Tell me the truth. How many people have you trained? ”

“Everyone who wants to catch the instructor? ”

He taught me everything I know.

“How many are there? ”

“Mmmm... ”

For a moment, she closes her eyes and grunts. She starts to fold her fingers hard. But instead of folding one finger at a time, five fingers are folded and unfolded.

“This……. ”

“Two thousand?”

If only there were monsters that could ride, they would have complete control of the continent's power.

“No, 20,000. ”

“Huh?"

… but I thought she was a princess.

It showed tremendous dignity in destroying common sense.

“Excuse me? ”

The Empire had so much money? That much training is possible?

“Yep. Most of the money from Howling was used to catch you. ”

Howling reigned as the most evil organization in the world's greatest empire.

Due to the nature of the malicious organization, we had no choice but to trade with the tangible, not the document.

Having robbed Howling means you can have all of it.

“That must have been a lot of money. ”

Honestly, even if it was my secret wealth that I couldn't keep, a village was worth 100 years' worth of food.

I can't even imagine how much Howling's wealth has collected for a thousand years.

“Unlike other places out there, we were easy to train. ”

“Dammit! Summoners……. ”

Since the Yugrasian summoners have all gone under the Empress, if they are willing to participate in the training, there is no need to call the Wizard or any other knights.

There were some strong men in the air around the woman who was vice president when I was there.

If they lecture and the other summoners below apply, there is no need for wizards or other knights to come.

“The salary is the same anyway, so it's a perfect savings. ”

“It's easy to get a Wyvern. ”

“How?”

“Beat it till I hear you say it! ”

Guoooo!

Drake howls at Mira's gesture.

“If you hit me a little with these feelings, I can hear you! ”

“I didn't ask you to do that.... ”

It seems that handing it over to Lane was the worst judgment.

According to Lia, he raised students separately in Eugracia, but the military raised Wyvern.

I will give you the worst weapon in my hand.

- Self-inflicted.

Shit! You tried to catch me the way I used to.

It was also a less copyright-recognized fantasy world.

“Is there anything else? ”

“Do you want to hear it? ”

I feel like I can handle it, and I feel drowsy.

“Yes."

I thought about it for a while, but there is a saying that knowledge is power.

It would be better to know and deal with it than not knowing.

“The situation is that the entire army has an AST, your bounty……. ”

It was hard to let go of from the first speech.

“All troops? All troops now? ”

“Yes.”

It is the world's strongest country, with the most troops in the Karean Empire.

For someone like me who remembers rolling in the military in the past, an army is a place he never wants to go again, but he treats it fundamentally well at a high salary, so many civilians want to be soldiers.

“Let's see, roughly 20,000 for one army……. ”

There will be more troops with regular infantry leaders, but wizards, Madosas, and summoners are small from the platoon, so it should be around 20,000.

“There are 20 Imperial troops when I'm around.... ”

That means at least 400,000 people know me.

“Are you crazy?”

It is a populated Karean Empire with 400,000 people. In the case of small countries, it is known that there are less than one million people.

No, I've heard that since the Empire became the world's greatest empire, there may be more than half a million volunteers.

“Next.”

“Diplomacy is underway to catch you on a state-level basis.... ”

“Country?”

“Yes.”

Mira just used the word diplomacy.

If I knew the Empress, I would put pressure on it and name it Diplomacy, but if the word "diplomacy" came out of Mira's mouth....

“Did you have a deal? ”

“Yes.”

It was because they really needed each other's cooperation to catch me, it seemed that the princess had allied herself with other countries through transactions, not power.

“Bastard. ”

And recently allied with the Kingdom of Nathan, the subject of the deal was a warrior who turned her against the Princess.

If he hadn't made her fall for him, she might not have been an ally!

“And…. ”

“Another one? ”

I can only say two things, but the scale is unimaginable.

A minimum of 500,000 + a minimum of 1 million.

At a minimum, 1.5 million people are trying to find and catch me.

“Yes. This is really important... ”

“Yes."

Important.

The weight of the horse came too heavy.

I didn't say 500,000 troops are important in alliances with several countries, but what does it matter?

“More than 100 sorcerers. ”

“Huh?"

“More than 50 new spirits and their equivalents. ”

“Hmmm?”

“More than 10 Grand Wizards, more than 100 Madosan Platoons. ”

“Wait?”

“And it's all under you.... ”

“Turn around! I'll just fight the Demon King! ”

What did I just hear? You've heard the entire human side combining forces to hunt down the Demon King?

There's no way that kind of power could have come out otherwise.

“You're lying, right?”

I said Mira quietly pulled out a dagger from her waist and showed it to me.

“Ah……. ”

I see a glowing sword.

As I spit out my elasticity, Mira, who put the dagger in, points out the empty air this time.

“Flash!”

It was not a no-man 's-law, but it was a very short language with perfect magic.

The magic of lightning, it was also perfectly formed in the shape of a window.

Seeing that power doesn't seem weak, he's not even the Great Wizard, but he's close to it.

“This is what I do, too. ”

“ ……. ”

I have nothing to say.

It's too strong, even for a master class.

What kind of a master knows how to control a sorcerer, a high magician, and a drake?

What are the members who have been trained like this?

“Maybe... you can't win if you run to the continent!" ”

I had no choice but to accept Mira's words.

Although it is said to make the continent strong, the size of the enemy is too great.

They're not prime people.They 're quantity elites.

I'm just saying it's elite because there aren't a lot of elite numbers, but something's wrong!

“So it's convenient to go as far as you are!”

I decided to think for a moment about what Mira said, murmuring with a loud snort.

Next to the princess, it can be the safest place to be.

I used to be afraid of screaming in the Imperial Court, but I can't deny it's the safest place to be given the power and power of the Empress now.

With this kind of military power, even an emperor can be replaced if he doesn't like it!

“But I refuse! ”

But there is a greater danger that we must live together with the princess for the rest of our lives.

No, I have to give up just right.

They're doing this to get me, and you know what they're gonna do to me!

“Is that so…? ”

It's easy to give up.

I sneak up on Mira, grumbling and saying it.

“Bridge, sir? ”

Convert the metal that was on one arm into a short club and bring it to Mira.

“Man, if you steer this wrong, you could get us all killed! ”

Surprised, Mira raises her voice and shouts.

Yeah, we're already at maximum altitude.

But I can't help it.

A princess in the front and a Demon King in the back.

I needed Mira's help to survive in between.

“How's Imperial cuisine? ”

“Yes?”

To do that, we needed the best bait.

“Here's a story from an imperial kitchen legend. ”

“Stop, really? ”

After you captured Mira, you pulled out the weaponized spleen you worked so hard for. Thinking about the time of Eugracia, the one I worked hard for was....

“Legendary Book of Secret Imperial Cooking Secrets! Cooking Secrets!”

“Well, the legendary book! ”

A book that draws back memories of ancient times and information about cooking, recording Imperial chefs and dishes made!

I said to Mira, looking at it with a glittering eye, with a sinister smile.

“I'll give this to you……. ”

I want you to be a double spy between me and the Empress.
