The wise man returns

“Duke.”

“What's the matter? ”

Duke Ketil, with his face spread open, receives a message.

It's time to get down to business. Before that, Balin did not forget to look around.

It wasn't a problem for others to hear, but I wanted to avoid any doubts.

Fortunately, all the knights were either surrounded by Leven or sipping their own alcohol.

“Can I ask you something? ”

“Oh, whatever you want. There's plenty of time.Your childhood friends are crowding the troublemakers. Are you okay, by the way? ”

“Yes?”

Suddenly, he asked the duc about his condition, and he glanced over my body for a moment.

The opposing Pokémon shows no significant injuries. Valine opens her mouth.

“I'm not hurt at all. ”

“No, about that. ”

The duc nods, and Reuben grins, surrounded by knights.

The duc spoke to Balin, who tilted her head.

“A childhood friend? I thought he was the reason you introduced him to the Red Flake. ”

“That's not it. ”

Balin's absence is due to the Dragon's magic and the work of the imperial palace.

It's been that way for a long time.

But the duc seems to have misunderstood the other way around. Balin smiles bloody and replies.

“Don't worry, I don't feel that way yet. ”

“Huh, I see. Don't wake up too late. ”

After a light joke passed, the static returned. I don't know if the Duke cut the horse on purpose.

But I had to say this. Balin asked me one thing lightly first.

“... Duke. What will you do if the Horsemen come to the Wall? ”

He said this, but he already knew the answer. Maybe you've already shown your body the answer in the past!

“That's how you stop it. It's that simple. ”

“No, I'm talking about the unstoppable. ”

The eyes of Balin said that were dazzling and glowing. If the duc had a different answer here, things would be a lot easier.

However, the duc's answer did not deviate from Balin's expectations.

“When it's unstoppable... I don't know if there's a time, maybe that'll stop them at all." ”

I knew it.

In his past life, the Duke followed this belief. The result was the annihilation of the barrier guards.

Thanks to this, the United Nations had to start a war with about 100,000 elite soldiers missing.

It was even more trembling because each one of them was the most elite, not just a recruit.

“Duke, you know we shouldn't do that, right? ”

Balin turns around and says,

The Duke of Ketil has seen so far is a great strategist.

He built a city on the Wall and raised funds, and both the Hunt and Forward Forts were unimaginable achievements.

He couldn't have known the basic strategy that Balin knew.

“... Yes, you do! ”

Duke Ketil unexpectedly accepted it.

I see. As soon as Balin opens her mouth, the duc sighs and inhales.

It was made using the body parts of a Horse, so it was quite strong.

It means that there is something in your heart that makes you sick.

“You can't do that. This Great Wall is the Citadel of Heaven. If we don't stop it here, the damage will grow exponentially. If the power is still intact and you retreat, you can also catch 20 if you hit 100 together here. Do you understand, Wizard? ”

“... ”

It's the Duke of Ketil, who prays for liquor, but you can't help but see the end of his spear shaking.

Balin secretly raises the firepower of the campfire. When the Mana of Fire goes in, it burns again vigorously.

“Amazing. It must have been a dying bonfire. Did you do this, too?" ”

“The Duke's head will never live again. Don't get your hopes up. ”

Surprisingly, as soon as I said that, I saw Duke Ketil's aura die.

It wasn't Manana's strength, but it strangely felt that way.

Balin chuckles and says:

“The citizens of the city behind the fortress are the same. That's not what I expected. In that situation.”

“... did I see it? Yeah, that's what I figured. ”

In my past life, I thought they were just too stubborn to bury my men together.

But after regretting and seeing the Great Wall, I changed my mind.

The fortress behind it, to be exact. The moment I saw it, I suddenly understood.

Why Duke Ketil did not flee with an extermination anticipated.

‘To be clear, it would be best to go to Duke Ketil himself at that time... but I can't right now. ’

He probably knows the correct answer.

But Balin was convinced it was the right answer.

I decided at the same time.

We must learn all the power we can before the Demon Prince reaches the Great Wall.

“They're the ones I dragged in. I can't just abandon them and run away. Maybe when the barrier is breached, they'll try to buy us a little more time. Not just me, but the soldiers here will. ”

“It seems so. ”

Balin reaches for the liquor and lightly shakes his hand to gather mana water.

In normal conditions, it didn't seem that there was much difference between drinking and water now that I was drunk.

“Drink. It's liquor. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

Duke Ketil, who had been drunken, laughed nonchalantly.

“By the way, you uncovered my secret for nothing. ”

“... in advance, please do not ask me to serve here. I'm gonna say no right now. ”

“That's it. Go away if you want to be alone. Right now.”

I'm tired of being offered recruitment every day since I came to the Wall.

I told him to cut it off early again, but unexpectedly Duke Ketil just shook his hand.

‘What is it? I like it. ’

Thank you for saving me the strength to refuse.

Balin leaves the duc's side and heads to the other side. Unfortunately, that's where Leven and the knights met.

“I'll run across the horizon with no love or obsession!" ”

The knight who just finished singing gave me a round of applause.

After going through the atmosphere, Balin calmly approached Leven.

“Let's go inside. It's time to go to sleep...”

“Just in time. Come here, sit down. ”

After finishing his speech, Leven pulls Valine back down. I felt like I was drunk because my face turned red.

At this rate, we'll continue to talk to the knights. It was the moment Balin felt it open.

‘Whatever it is, too much is harmful. ‘

Duke Ketil's words, which he had heard a few days ago, suddenly crossed my mind.

I didn't know why this moment was happening.

“Well, next up is our new Wizard Kid Showtime! Show me your organs! ”

“Whoa!”

“I'm looking forward to it! Kid!"

“Make a mistake and I'll eat you up! ”

Balin misses his movements as he pauses. He moves with all his might.

In front of the campfire, he takes a deep breath and gathers Mana.

You know it's magic anyway, so all you have to do is pretend.

Shhh!!

As Mana begins to move, the water moves like an aquarium, embroidering the air.

There was no need to cast magic to show this much.

“Wow!!... Oh!! ”

The silent campfire suddenly raises its spirits and bends the water.

Then the cheers from everywhere turned into horror.

A simple move made using fire and water Mana.

Knowing it was magic would have been a huge commotion, but there was nothing wrong with wearing a magic mask.

Balin's magic was highly regarded.

For knights who used to look at swords every day, this was like magic.

No, it was actually magic.

“Awesome! Inbar! ”

With Leben's compliments, numerous knights flock to him.

Each of them reached out with a compliment.

I wanted to refuse, but I had no choice but to accept their mood.

I wonder how much time has passed. Balin was knocked on the back several times, and was encouraged to drink.

“Ah?... move me. Mana...!"

Someone's voice buzzed in my ears. The horseman's intoxication seems to have made him well drunk.

Balin barely rises from his legs. You hear the sound of Moore, the man who raised him.

"Damn, I should have been more restrained when I heard it was horse-drawn liquor…! ’

He did not regret drinking too much while his eyes were dim.

Somehow, Balin stopped trying to lie still.

For some reason, I thought I wanted to touch the person in front of me.

Zec.

Balin reaches out his hand lightly, and reaches towards him like a kite blown by the wind.

I hear voices.

* * *

The next day, when the sun shines, Balin regained consciousness.

The duc smiled and said to him who was in a hurry to get up and prepare.

You don't have to worry because you're leaving early this afternoon anyway.

Then I was relieved. If I had been drunk and messed up and delayed the whole schedule, there would have been no more complaints.

Fortunately, Balin wasn't the only one who was drunk on horsepower. The majority of the knights who enjoyed playing yesterday were in the same condition.

Thanks to this, Valine was able to relieve hangovers with the time she had left.

During the day, the hunting ranks arriving at the forward fortress were greeted with a fierce welcome.

The arrival of the hunting ranks means we've cleared the way.

Then it's time for supplies.

The supplies were a gift from God to the soldiers of the Forward Fortress, which is a long day away.

“Hooray! Hooray! ”

“Long live the forge, light it, and bring me some arrows. I'll be right out with the weapons. We'll need all the supplies we can get. Oh, this time it's a week. I have to get back. ”

After giving the order, the soldiers in the forward fortress look odd to Duke Ketil.

“Why a week? Usually a month, two long months. ”

“I have something important to do. The new emperor is coming to scout the Great Wall. I can't just sit here and do nothing to prepare it. Let's sweep it up and get back to work. Do you understand?”

“Your Majesty!! ”

The soldiers' surprise has reached its limit.

The emperor of the Cadim Empire is the pinnacle of all power in the world.

Although he was elected by many nobles, once he became emperor, he was able to move the Kardim Empire as he wished.

But he personally scouts the Wall.

It was a great opportunity for Duke Ketil, who suffered from a 10,000 year budget shortage.

“Well, if we do well this time...”

“Yes, the armory wizard is a priest and may be full. Maybe there won't be any crying because there's no more supplies and support. So hang in there a little longer. I'll make sure to get more money. ”

“Khhhhh!! Cheer up!"

Soldiers who can't speak and raise their hands.

Everyone was cheering for Duke Kettle.

Balin scratches the back of his head every time.

Whenever I saw something like that, I felt embarrassed.

The procession that received the supplies went on a full-scale horse hunt.

Everyone fought hard, but Valine and Leven's balls were the biggest.

It's because of the Wizard and the disease of the High Septon.

Thanks to this, Valine had to see the contract guaranteed from Duke Ketil to the title of Earl.

Everything was fine. There was just one strange thing.

Strangely, when Leven saw himself, he unconsciously started covering his left cheek.

If I asked him if he was hurt, it wasn't like that either, but no matter how much I asked him, he couldn't understand.

Thank you for reading, the third and final chapter of the day.

Thank you, readers, so much for coming.

However, I think the curse of not eating a cider and eating sweet potatoes for the rest of my life is a little harsh.

Don't you think? I'm sorry?

In the meantime, I'm going in for tomorrow at 0: 00. Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy your articles and make a recommendation.

Well, have a good day.
