81 – Journey to the West

The journey to the west was extremely monotonous.

Go, rest, go, rest, go, sleep. Other than that, there were no changes.

It was not an ordinary carriage trip, right next to the Grand Duke, his knights, and legion.

It is not at all a condition to meet someone new in a new place.

Perhaps, for change to occur, we will have to reach the western border at any cost.

‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have played against Captain Priscilla then… wow, i must be crazy really.’

I wonder if John Nassen’s blood can’t be faked even if it’s possessed?

I felt more sorry for not being able to exercise properly than the boredom of the unchanging journey.

I wonder if I had to stick closely with Priscilla whom I met last time.

Kyle shook his head vigorously as he slapped his cheek several times.

‘I have to calm down the John Nassen in me. Please calm down, damn it.’

Rely on Jon Nassen. Yo I remember what happened with a saint not too long ago.

And in that favorable situation, he suddenly thought of himself as to what effect it has on the body.

The atmosphere with the saintess was really good. It was so cute to see him shy.

It would have been perfect if we had just a little bit more, just a little bit more tickling conversation there.

The words that jumped out were the kind of nonsense that a typical male lead in romance would say.

There was no problem at all even if all sorts of profanity came out.

It was an opportunity to get closer to your favorite character and to check your feelings!

Why do you keep doing nonsense because your brain goes back to a sport you don’t even like?

“Kyle, you look frustrated too.”

Leah, who has no way of knowing Kyle’s intentions, seems to know that she is doing it because she just can’t do her exercises.

It was a bonus that the word “Absolutely not like that” Soared all the way down.

“I can’t. I should go out and run.”

Lear couldn’t stand it and eventually ran out of her wagon and began to work on her cardio.

After that, she runs with her brother, saying that even Leah should use as much as she ate.

Kyle was holding on because she hated her will, John Nassen, who interfered with herself and her saintess.

However, Kyle’s stubbornness did not last long.

“Kyle! Let’s run together!”

Leah, who opened the carriage door and came in, and Kyle’s inner thoughts, which were conflicted even if they were not.

In the meantime, she even received high-calorie combat rations for lunch, and she couldn’t stand it any longer.

‘aaa!! Shivaaal!!’

I hate exercise. I hate diet control. I hate everything! But what I hate the most!

She is already herself who can’t give up even though she hates it!

My God! Why the hell! How did you become possessed by this guy!

Why is there such a race in romance fantasy? The author is crazy!!

Is this a romance!? Is it a ropan! No matter how you think about it, it’s Eva!!

With a desperate scream, Kyle started running after his brother and sister.

“….”

And then, Archduke Schrelitz was watching from afar.

The wagon that was given to me to travel a little more comfortably. It was even given to me by the imperial family.

He said he couldn’t do anything like this, left the wagon behind, and ran.

According to the report, they took several pictures of the vanguard and scouting party’s location.

In preparation for an emergency, the lead and the main unit keep some distance.

How could it be possible to come and go to that location just by running?

‘I’ve heard rumors, but I thought it was exaggerated.’

No matter how hard-working knights are, they don’t train to that extent.

Because my body can’t stand it if I do it that way. Because it can harm your health again.

Even if you do high-intensity training, that’s beyond that level no matter how you look at it.

However, the three siblings from John Nassen seem to say that this is a big deal.

I was in the middle of going back and forth over a distance that other people would find difficult even on horseback.

‘That’s absurd. It’s ridiculous.’

Even the head of the Grand Duchess of Shurelitz, who is unconditionally ranked first in terms of samurai, shook his head.

The news of the arrival of the Imperial Legion reached the Union of the Western Kingdoms.

It’s not like they started secretly, and even if they did, it’s not long before you know.

And the coalition leaders who were gathering information received strange news.

“Only one Imperial legion is coming? Are you sure?”

“Yes. Several corps that were first mustered have returned to their positions, and it is said that only one corps is now heading west.”

The number is ridiculously smaller than originally expected.

No matter how much the western kingdoms say they don’t have as much power as before.

It is said to be a crumbling sandcastle, intoxicated with the glory of the past, but an empire is an empire.

I have never been caught off guard against any enemy under any circumstances.

Thanks to that formidable strength, he has risen to where he is today.

If we were arrogant because our national power had become a little stronger, it would not have been so.

However, the empire sent only one corps to their side.

It’s said to be a large army of 10,000, but that’s not enough.

There are tens of thousands of troops, numerous knights, and magicians on this side as well.

You won’t even be able to cross the border with just one legion.

What’s even more strange here is that one of the corps includes the Grand Duke of Shurelitz and the Knights of the Brotherhood of the Sword.

‘You appointed Archduke Schrelitz to lead a corps? No matter how I think about it, it’s strange.’

The Grand Duchess of Shrelitz. One of the three Grand Dukes in the Empire. Imperial Sword, Trumpet of War.

This is the place that has always taken the lead whenever a war broke out between the empire and other countries.

Since he participated in almost all the wars, it can be seen that he is leading the corps this time as well.

Still, there are only three grand dukes who have pride and face.

To think that the Archduke directly participated in the battle for one corps. Even if you can’t, there must be seven.

That much should be the reason for the Archduke to move.

However, the Empire has sent Archduke Shrelitz, and he is advancing without a word.

This is very disrespectful considering that the imperial family and the grand duchess are political partners of some sort.

Could there have been any friction between the royal family and the grand duchess?

Is that why I ordered them to join the army as a kind of punishment?

If you think so, the loyalty of the Grand Duchess of Shrelitz, or the time of patience?

“Check again. Is it true that only one Imperial Legion is coming, by any chance, are there any Legions waiting in advance? Otherwise, isn’t it that we have already deployed a large number of troops on the western border? Do a thorough investigation down to the smallest detail and report back.”

At the command of the coalition leadership, the intelligence procurement officer bowed his head and resigned.

After that, while the imperial army continued to approach, I looked around and looked at it several more times.

But no matter how much I look, all I see is a legion advancing right now.

There was only the Grand Duke of Shrelitz and his knights, the Knights of the Brotherhood of the Sword.

What was even more strange was that the empire didn’t seem to be hiding anything.

It’s like saying to Yeonhap, if you want to see it, look at it, and if you want to look at it, take a look.

Because of that, the leadership began to doubt even more.

“Does this make sense? It’s just one legion.”

“There are far more than 50,000 troops that our coalition can mobilize right away. Of course, the number excludes the defenders of each castle. Numbers aren’t everything in battle, but they definitely help a lot. There’s no way the Empire doesn’t know that. Aren’t they the ones who always had an advantage in battle?”

There is something. They are not targeting just one castle, they are aiming for the entire yeonchop.

The size of the army couldn’t be more than 10,000. Clearly there is something more.

Soon after, some other information reached the coalition leadership.

“… Baron John Nassen?”

“Yes. Even in the Empire, they are said to be extremely shy.”

“I’ve heard of John Nassen. Aren’t they barbarians who lived in the north?”

“I have heard of it. They say they held out against the Empire for several years.”

Those who had heard that far were able to roughly predict the situation.

It is said that instead of reducing the size of the army, they are bringing in people who can replace it.

If you are a person from a place where the Empire is uncomfortable, you can definitely say that it is a great force.

“Still, it is strange that the number of troops was reduced with only a few.”

“Isn’t it possible that there are 10 empires in it? It seems to mean that we will push forward with a small number of elites.”

However, I know relatively little about John Nassen.

It’s been almost 30 years since they haven’t been active in the Empire.

From the standpoint of the coalition’s leadership, they were more concerned about other things than Jon Nassen himself.

“You shouldn’t let go of your mind at all. I heard that John Nassen’s daughter destroyed the academy in half, but that may be true.”

“The level of the top 10 empire, or slightly below that level, it is certain that it is a tremendous force.”

Fortunately, some personnel expressed their concerns.

It seems that he decided not to hand over anything carelessly.

So the leadership decided to mobilize all the best forces on this side as well.

“Put a letter to Samgeol. Get ready to move to the front line right now.”

If the empire has 10 powers, the alliance has three.

It is true that the number is far less than that of the Empire right now.

No matter how strong the three legs were, it was impossible to greet the same level of strong people with a boat.

However, the Union did not worry too much.

Anyway, there is nothing more to lose, and there is no place to retreat anymore.

Even the three-legged beings know that if they are pushed back, it will be the end.

In preparation for such an occasion, the Alliance, which had prepared a trump number, decided to use ‘it’.

“The effect was confirmed several times.”

“Yes. After using it, you will experience extreme mana loss, but your body will not disintegrate like before.”

“We at least doubled or tripled the time. Enough against the top 10 Empire.”

An improved version of the mana runaway ritual that was previously handed out to the death squad.

Increased stability and increased effectiveness, finally making an effective booster.

The problem is that this is a very difficult job, and despite all the hardships, only three bottles are all.

It would be nice if all the knights were armed with that booster, but that plan was canceled.

To make the three bottles, all the wizards in the alliance had to work together, and the amount of money was astronomical.

The effect is good, but the cost to sacrifice for it is too high.

Even if it wasn’t so, the faltering union was even more shaken by those three bottles.

For this reason, the leadership instructed us to use the enhancer in the worst case scenario.

*

West, where the borders of the Empire and the Alliance meet.

All forces of the Alliance have gathered to greet the Imperial Legion.

And between them, the strongest members of the alliance, called the Three Girls, were seated.

“Whoa.”

Looking toward the border of the empire, both knights and soldiers, everyone shows tension.

It won’t be long before the legions of the Empire will appear from beyond, showing off their glittering majesty.

I will give out a shout that will shake the heavens and the earth to give psychological pressure!

Sabaksabak-.

“… Yes?”

However, that was not what the allied soldiers saw.

“What… ?”

The Imperial Corps went somewhere, and three men and women who did not know the identity appeared.
