201 – I’m going to see you now

Du-du-du!!-

A group of warriors galloping across the vast plain narrow their eyes.

It seems like they can’t see anything, but their eyesight is beyond imagination.

I made everything stop there, even the words, and then I lay flat on the floor and put my ears to it.

“… Not many. Two to three.”

“It must be a scout.”

“What are you going to do? You make the decision.”

The six-member raiding party leader ponders for a moment.

It is now known that they are shooting around and killing imperial patrols.

Even so, continuing to send scouting parties means one of two things.

The enemy’s large-scale offensive is just around the corner.

Otherwise, it’s a bait to draw them out.

“Make up your mind. Getting closer If you’re going to leave, you have to leave right away, and even if you’re going to ambush, you have to do it right away so you don’t get caught. Quickly. Captain.”

At the urging of the warrior who had his ear on the ground, the captain made a decision after thinking about it for a while.

“Catch.”

Enemy scouts must be caught and killed.

It is to ensure our side’s safety even a little, and at the same time accumulate damage to the enemies.

If you cut off the eyes and ears, you will eventually have no choice but to double the number of people in the reconnaissance team, and if that happens, the range you can move will naturally decrease.

And even if it’s a trap, it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, they are bait. Then just grab the bait and run away.

They know better about the path in this meadow.

It may look like a wide plain, but if you look closely, there are many obstacles everywhere, such as shallow hills, large puddles, and small waterways.

If you use them, you can grab the bait and run away before those who want to hunt them come.

After a few successes, even the Imperials won’t be able to fish like this anymore.

“Okay. Then let’s hide right away.”

The nomadic warriors, who had mastered their horses, moved to a place with a slight slope.

Then, with the horse, I lay flat on my stomach and looked at the situation.

“Coming.”

It wasn’t long before three cavalrymen appeared as scouts.

The great armed men did not. It is a very lightweight outfit.

Looking at it, it was clear that the scouts focused on speed and agility.

“Don’t forget. Kill them quickly and leave. If we cling to the enemy’s equipment or horses, we could be caught again. You know what I mean?”

“Don’t worry. We know that our lives are the most precious.”

“Okay. Then….”

After observing the situation a little longer, the leader raises his hand when he thinks he has reached the right distance.

The moment the five members of the team, who were in ambush at the same time, stand up.

Seureung-.

“… Uh?”

A silvery flash cut through their throats with precision.

*

“Oh. Is it okay?”

The princess pats Ian’s back as if she is proud.

She thought she would go, but she had some doubts when Ian said he would go.

But when she saw her sword skills, she understood why she went out.

I also knew why Baron John Nassen was craving and pecking so madly.

This young man named Ian turned out to be an amazing gemstone.

‘It’s not just swordsmanship or body movements. When you harm people, when you have the will to live and commit it. There was almost no hesitation that I was unaware of.’

No matter how strong you are, no matter how excellent your skills are, you can’t become a strong person unconditionally.

In order to rise to that rank, one must have a natural talent.

The wild. The roughness and incomparable nature of the original.

If you don’t have that, you’re just a person with strong martial arts skills.

Even if you have a genius talent for swords, even if you are good at martial arts enough to be called a god of war.

It’s useless if you can’t handle wildness and murderous intent that goes beyond that.

Because in the end, the battle between the strong will be divided by whose momentum is broken first.

‘In that sense, that guy Ian is definitely born.’

Kyle made her friends very well. He is also a man I admit!

In the end, it was the princess who came to the conclusion about Kyle.

“Um.”

Meanwhile, Kyle was taking a quick look at the headless ghosts.

Even though it is a very gruesome scene, it is strangely uninspiring.

There was no disgust, no fear, and at least no feeling of apology.

I only have one thought, but the weak guys tried to surprise me, so I deserve to die.

I wonder if this is because of Jon Nassen’s determination. If so, thank you.

If you vomit in front of the princess and Ian, you lose face.

Above all, this is the middle of an extremely simple battlefield where you die if you don’t kill.

“These guys, after all, they are not a simple scouting party.”

“Right? I knew it. The raiding party must be under the command of that bastard named Sochir.”

“If you repeat this a few more times, the ruler will inevitably move. It wouldn’t be particularly nice to see their forces being eaten away.”

This is the third raiding party we encountered today. And it was all handled by Ian.

In terms of numbers, it’s not that many. Even if you add up these six, you won’t be fifteen.

But they are all fighters with above-average training.

From the point of view of the enemy, it will be a concern because useful power keeps disappearing.

‘That’s why I’m deliberately not disposing of the body properly.’

It’s like, ‘If you want to attack the Imperial Army, try it. But before that, your warriors’ heads will run out first.’

If you stay still after seeing that, your fellow warriors will resent you for being cowardly.

Isn’t it said that the grace received is the same, and the enemy received is repaid tenfold.

“Ian. Let’s just pack our horses and go.”

The only thing Kyle and his party bring are words.

The horses that were already captured were hidden in an out of sight place.

So that they can change their horses whenever they get tired.

In fact, Kyle’s honest intention was that he would rather just run than ride.

It is said that riding a horse is also an exercise, but it is not as good as running.

Even if you don’t, you can’t exercise at all, so you get nervous and even a little angry.

I felt like Ian would be used as a stick if I didn’t meet someone who asked if it was Sochire or something.

However, it is not polite to use a little force in strange places in front of a really strong enemy.

I have to conserve my stamina even a little bit more now. And when you write, write.

The other party is a person who has even defeated the top 10 of the empire. It is right to treat them appropriately.

“Today alone, three times already. Two days together is seven times, Kyle.”

“So.”

“They don’t seem to be responding. Can you be this quiet?”

“No. On the contrary, it’s even weirder when you notice it right away.”

In response to Kyle’s answer, the princess agrees with her, saying that what she said is correct.

“Raid teams are forced to move independently for several days. Reporting is, of course, done by meeting. Even if you get attacked and die in the meantime, you won’t know for a few days. If we were supposed to meet on a set day and we don’t meet, then it’s only then that we think that something happened.”

“… Then the enemy captain still doesn’t know what happened to his men.”

“You might have known by now. And they will light up their eyes and try to find us.”

This side’s identity is neither a mere scouting party nor a decoy.

A specially selected and dispatched raiding squad. You can catch and kill everyone you meet.

If they found out about that, of course the commander on that side would also try to respond.

‘And the surest and quickest way is to fight on your own.’

Since he is confident in his skills, he must be so.

It seemed as if we would be able to face each other in one day if it was as short as this, or in three days if it was as long as it was.

“The Princess.”

Before that, you must first get rid of the competitor next to you.

“I said that Sochir or something, it was mine.”

“Yes. Okay. By the way, Kyle? If I find it first, won’t it be mine?”

“Please. This is why I wasn’t going to move with the princess.”

“Okay. It’s a joke, so don’t take it so seriously.”

At times like this, who else is John Nassen?

As the princess shakes her head, she mounts her horse again to find her nomadic warriors.

“By the way, Kyle?”

Are you saying something strange again?

Tell me Kyle on horseback. She makes a face

“I like fighting as much as you. But you are telling me to give up after seeing me like that.”

“So.”

“Shouldn’t there be something coming to me?”

“This isn’t a deal, is it a must?”

“It’s not a business, but we’re lovers. So if you give in, you have to get something back.”

Whoops, colog! Coke!-

Ian, who had been standing quietly, started coughing. Thanks to that, Kyle was taken aback.

‘This bastard has been on a relationship with me and the princess since when, and she’s surprised now?’

I thought lack of notice was limited to my relationship, but it seems it wasn’t.

Since I’m staring blankly at it, it’s obviously Ian. Don’t let go of expectations.

“What is it, Kyle? You really are the princess and….”

“Ian, who has just come to know, I sincerely respect you for your notice.”

I shake my head and prepare to lead the captured horses.

Then the princess said wait a minute and stopped Kyle.

“Are you okay? Their words are as ferocious as the eastern nomadic tribes.”

“Sure. Horses are also smart animals, so if someone other than their owner tries to lead them, they will rebel.”

After saying that, Kyle glanced at the horses.

Puhing-.

Then the horses secretly turn their heads elsewhere.

If these horses were human, they would probably be breaking out in a cold sweat.

“I heard the owner changed just before.”

“Eh….”

It was John Nassen’s will to show off his presence again this time.
