The trees brought by the knights were trimmed and tied by wizards with magic.

The process was very quick.

The wizards used wind magic to remove the rugged parts of the tree, and used absorption magic to attach the tree so that it would not fall under any circumstances.

In the middle of the river, which is over 10m wide, a simple but very sturdy bridge was created.

Wizards didn’t use magic until the moment they put the tree in the river.

I put all sorts of buff magic on my legs and put them on again, making them harder than most walls.

“From now on, never let go of your guard! If you don’t want to die, be sure to be wary of your surroundings!”

Count Warrug shouted loudly at the knights as they moved the wagon.

Then he looked around and drew his sword.

The knights drew their swords and were wary of their surroundings.

I was very nervous and wondered at them looking around.

There was nothing around that could be dangerous.

It would be dangerous to be swept away by the swollen river, but that was not a reason to pull out the sword.

“Wizards come inside, knights stand outside! Never miss your luggage!”

The knight in the lead grabbed the horse by the bridle and slowly and carefully climbed onto the bridge.

His face filled with tension as he looked around with his sword in hand.

Even the carriage at the very back came up the bridge and moved in a very quiet state.

gnaw.

Then, somewhere, there was a sound like scratching something.

-There is something in the human water.

Hatchling, who had been sleeping over my head ever since I was a warlock, started talking to me.

– I’m sleepy. Human, do your best.

With those words, Hatchling got down from his head and flew away and got on top of the wagon.

I looked into the water leaving behind the hatchling, which had started to sleep again after finding the softest place to sleep.

“What is that?”

Only then could I see ‘it’ moving around in the water.

I could feel the presence in the water. It was just water and there were things like fish, so I ignored it thinking it wouldn’t be a big threat.

But it wasn’t.

The ‘those’ that roamed around in the water, and at some point clung to trees and began to gnaw at them, should not be ignored.

A snake-like monster with eight red eyes.

“It’s a lamp!”

A knight who discovered it shouted in all directions, and other knights and wizards hurriedly raised their weapons.

“Don’t get out of line! You must not leave the line at any moment! Keep in mind that once you break away, we cannot save you!”

Count Warrug shouted as he infused his sword with an aura.

The knights couldn’t even answer.

Knowing that they were busy concentrating, Count Warug didn’t blame them either.

Blue bum, blue bum!

“Stop it!”

Count Warrug shouted as he cut down the jumping lamprey.

“Move quickly!”

Count Warrug shouted as he approached me.

“Raymond, your job is to save those who are in danger from now on. can you do it?”

Hearing his words, he looked around.

As if he thought it was useless to gnaw trees, he saw one or two lampreys jumping on top of the water and rushing at him.

The knights swung their swords as calmly as possible and cut down the lampreys.

“It’s not whether you can do it, you have to.”

Since I came here, it wasn’t something that would happen just because I didn’t do it.

It wasn’t that the enemies wouldn’t kill me because I wouldn’t fight in the middle of the battlefield.

What about monsters without rationality?

On the contrary, the more he wandered, the more dangerous it became.

“yes. request.”

As if he liked my answer, he smiled and patted me on the back.

I lifted the nameless and moved.

Chow!

He fell to the right, cutting off the rising lamp in front of him.

Count Warrug is on the left, so I don’t have to worry about it.

I only have to care about the right side.

“Never stop!”

Count Warrug spat out words without pause.

“Damn it! I said it was okay this time!”

“Joseph, back!”

“aaa!”

The knights wield their swords wildly.

Unlike the knights who wielded their swords randomly, the wizards did not recklessly use magic.

It was because they could endanger themselves if they recklessly used magic in such a small space.

instead.

[Haste!]

[wait!]

[Slow!]

I applied buffs and debuffs to allies and monsters and used the most efficient method possible.

“It’s not a joke.”

Even after cutting the lamprey, the end could not be seen.

On the contrary, the smell of blood that emanated from each cut made the farther Lamprey run madly.

Before I knew it, the wooden bridge was surrounded by hundreds of lampreys.

Queueek!

Lamprey’s cries made his ears sting.

As they were cutting down Lampley without a break, the carriage was able to reach the end before anyone knew it.

It was when all the wagons, except for a few, were on land.

Kieeck!

A strange cry was heard from somewhere.

Just hearing that cry made my whole body goosebumps.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

The water started to rise up to our ankles, and we moved the wagon even more hurriedly.

“Damn it! It’s the Sea Serpent!”

what?

I felt my body stiffen at the knight’s cry.

The Sea Serpents were one of the predators of the sea and the children of the Serpent, the same number as the Kraken, who is called the plague of the sea.

Why are those who live only in the sea here?

Dangerous on land, there was no way to deal with them on water.

At least, even the sword master didn’t bet on them.

There are several reasons for this.

It’s like shooting a breath like a dragon, but the biggest reason I’m afraid of them more than anything.

“Crazy, how many of those are all!”

“Move quickly, quickly!”

Because they run in droves.

Something approached the river from afar, just over 10m long.

At first glance, it looked like a wave, and it was like watching a stream of water pouring out of a blocked dam all at once.

A monster with a color similar to that of water.

Dozens of sea serpents, 4 to 5 meters in size, resembling dragons without feet and wings, were pouring in and tangled here and there.

It had been a long time since even Lamprey was frightened by their appearance and disappeared.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

It was the time when the last wagon pulled up on land and a knight was about to get off the bridge.

“uh… ?”

His feet slipped, and he leaned toward the water.

While everyone was staring blankly at it, they hurriedly ran to him.

Kwak-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

As soon as he pulled his arm, a group of sea serpents rushed past where he was.

“Sa, live!”

The knight who was thrown into my hand breathed heavily and stared blankly at the sea serpents.

His face turned pale at the thought that he had almost fallen for that group.

“Well done.”

Count Warrug approached and tapped me on the shoulder.

“I don’t want to do this again.”

It was only for a moment that I crossed the bridge.

For only about 10 minutes, I felt like I was exhausted because I had run out of gin.

“ha ha ha. No wonder you’ve been through this. I’m a little embarrassed about this too.”

How could he understand until Lamprey?

They were monsters known for living in the river and attacking people, animals, and monsters that passed by the river.

But it wasn’t Sea Serpent.

It was very strange that people who should only be in the sea appeared in the river.

Sea serpents never leave the sea under any circumstances.

Even if it threatens my life.

‘Ah, there’s one thing.’

estrous period.

At that time, the Sea Serpent is out of the realm of the sea.

But that’s once a year, and only in winter.

And it’s not winter now.

“There’s still a long time left in estrus, so what happened?”

Even Earl Warrug hardened his face at the appearance of the Sea Serpent.

This was by no means something to be taken lightly.

It was clear that he would probably report back as soon as he returned.

“Then move slowly. They’ll be waiting for us in Easton, thirsty.”

Easton Marquis.

In the south, he is a ruler who exerts an influence similar to that of a king, and is the kingdom’s shield that blocks barbarians from attacking from below.

It was an important place in the kingdom in a different sense from the north.

The northern part is operated in common not only by the kingdom of Serion, but also by many other kingdoms and empires, but the barbarians in the south are only attached to Serion.

In other words, if Serion was pierced, even other kingdoms would not be safe from barbarians.

“Let’s go.”

The carriage, which had stopped for a moment, started moving again.

Even though there were obstacles, they couldn’t stop us from spreading supplies.

We must not stop absolutely under any circumstance.

Even if it meant dying, supplies had to be delivered.

The South was a very barren place.

Not only was it difficult to produce food individually, but it was also difficult to obtain weapons.

If it were not for the supplies that came once every three months, they would have no choice but to starve or become poorly armed.

In that case, the power in the south would inevitably decrease, and the defensive line could be breached if it went wrong.

You don’t know when the savages will attack, so you can’t be late.

Leaving behind the shock of the Sea Serpent, we moved swiftly.

***

After moving for a full day without rest, we were able to arrive at the Eastern Marquisate.

Numerous traps around the castle that could be seen from afar, flames burning corpses, and black smoke rising from the fire filled the sky.

“There is no such thing as hell.”

“There are more traps than the last time I came.”

The knights who had previously participated in the supply corps looked around and let out a small drool.

Carefully passing the traps and heading towards the castle, the rangers on the walls shouted with their bows pointed.

“To death!”

Even though they clearly knew that we were a supply unit, they were not hiding their guard.

It showed a will to never open the door under any circumstances unless it was decided.

“Pay back!”

Count Warrug came forward and shouted loudly.

“It’s a supply unit!”

“Open the door!”

Only then did the rangers burst into shouts of joy and hurriedly opened the gates.

“Why are you here so late!”

“You almost choked while waiting!”

The people in the castle shouted with one voice as they gathered for supplies.

The knights who knew what a hard life they had had were not offended by saying they were sorry.

“Where is the commander?”

“You are Lord Bane. You can follow me.”

“It is. Oh, and this guy will come with me too.”

“This must be him, Sir Raymond.”

“yes.”

“All right. Let’s go together.”

As if it had already been said, he glanced at me and turned to lead the way.

The place he walked like that was the office of the Marquis Easton.

“Commander. Lord Vane and his party have arrived.”

“Let it in.”

The door opened, and a tall man welcomed him inside.

“Welcome, Bane! I was waiting for you.”
