Seven officers gathered in the command barracks.

Their mood was serious.

The Kairos tribe is a dangerous group that alerts Easton and Elf, as well as the entire South.

If they swallow even the elves here, the war situation could be at its worst.

“However, there is a problem. The elves are so proud that they may refuse to accept our help.”

“We may be attacked for helping. We have to think carefully.”

Executives spit out each other’s opinions and heated up.

Their opinions were almost identical.

We have to go to Elfre for support, but be careful.

None of the suggestions were practically useful.

All of them seemed to be floating in the air.

I have to go to help, but the risk is high to go to help again.

So what the hell are you supposed to do?

I hate this, I hate that too.

It’s a waste of time to fight like this.

“So what are we going to do?”

Unable to listen, Lanos pounded on the table and shouted.

When he asked for a proper answer on what to do, the executives fell silent.

They too were frustrated.

Anyway, there was only one way. To help the elves.

In particular, since the warrior chief had come forward, he couldn’t expect the elves to propagate it.

Even though I knew that, the reason I hesitated so much was because of only one thing.

Because of the Elf’s tendency.

‘The Elf extremely hates other races stepping on their land.’

Whether it be enemies or allies, they hated letting others into their territory.

Even if they were to die, they also had a strict personality that would not accept help from other races.

I went to help for no reason, and I could be attacked by them like the Kairos tribesmen.

“So, are you just going to watch them hit the elves?”

Lanos growled, saying he couldn’t do that.

He strongly asserted his opinion that the atrocities of the Kairos tribe should be stopped at any cost.

“I can’t. If everyone says no, I’ll go alone.”

Saying that, Lanos left the command barracks.

The place where Lanos disappeared became very quiet.

Everyone was silent.

Rather than being angry at Lanos’ rudeness, they trembled at their helpless thoughts.

It was strange to think so much about this.

It is certain that the kingdom will be in danger if the Kairos tribe swallows the elves.

Then there was only one thing Easton had to do to protect the South.

Resolving danger before it strikes.

Even if they could be attacked by elves, it was the same.

“Did you all hear that? Are you going to leave all our work to a kid like that?!”

“no!”

“Who are we!”

“Serion’s shield! Guardian of the South!”

“great! Then find a way right now!”

“insect!”

Although Lanos’ actions were radical, the effect was great.

The executives said they couldn’t leave everything to Lanos, and they burned hotly.

He no longer feared the elves’ retaliation.

Rather, he even brought out a method for when the elves retaliated.

seek, discuss, conceive.

In less than five minutes, executives quickly came up with a method.

“When the elves respond to the Kairos guys, we have to hit the backs of the Kairos guys. We’ll come out with just the warrior chief, the warrior chief’s neck. The key to this is quick hit-and-run mobility, which requires Lord Bane’s strength.”

The officers stare at Count Warrug.

The Marquis of Easton also looks at the Earl of Warrug.

I made a request to Count Warrug.

can you do it

If it was usual, he would have nodded without worrying too much, but strangely, he couldn’t answer right away.

Crossing his arms, he groaned.

“I know it’s dangerous. But… .”

One of the officers opened his mouth to persuade Count Warrug.

Towards him, Count Warrug raised his hand and made him shut his mouth.

Marquis Easton sent his eyes to the officers to be quiet, and for a while the command barracks were filled with silence.

‘Is it because of the elves?’

If it were Kairos alone, Count Warrug wouldn’t have worried so much.

The risk against the elves is too great.

too many variables,

It’s too hard to take the risk of attacking without distinction between enemy and ah.

“It is difficult.”

The faces of the officers darkened at his muttered words.

No matter what anyone said, the best force here was Earl Warrug.

There are no sword masters in the Marquis of Eastern.

The highest rank is the highest level of sword expert, between sword master and expert.

It was just that there were many advanced sword experts, but no sword masters.

He is also a sword master with excellent war experience.

That’s what he said was difficult.

Of course, the impact was bound to be enormous.

“Will it be really difficult?”

“I am alone.”

“Well?”

At his words that followed, a question mark appeared on Marquis Easton’s face.

Doesn’t it sound like you can do it if you attach someone to it?

“Please attach Lanos and Raymond to me. I guess that will work.”

“… !”

Marquis Easton looked back at me with a strange face.

I also looked back at Count Warrug, slightly surprised by his words.

No, at least you can ask for my opinion.

I was speechless at his words, as if I would do it if the Marquis allowed it.

Of course I will.

Dealing with the elves who command the spirits will be a great experience for me.

But still.

“Is that possible?”

The Marquis of Easton asks me.

Count Warrug looks at me and nods.

It can’t seem so nasty.

“I’ll do it. I have to.”

If I don’t do it, my safety will be in danger, but I have to stop it somehow.

‘But wouldn’t that be the same even if I went there?’

I don’t know.

If he said no in the current atmosphere, he would become a traitor, so how could he say no?

“great. Then let’s move right away.”

Marquis Easton slammed the table.

***

Rangers and knights gathered at the back door.

Surrounded by me, Earl Warrug, and Lanos, painted in black, were among them.

“Please take care of me.”

Marquis Easton spoke in front of the people.

we didn’t answer

I just nodded and exited the back door.

The reason we didn’t use the main gate is that traps are traps, but we don’t want the Cairos to find out we’re moving.

They were few in number because they had to move in secret, but that didn’t mean the three of us would move.

I thought I’d add another ranger though.

“I’ll run with all my might from now on, so don’t fall behind and catch up with me.”

Time was life, so Count Warug couldn’t be considerate of us.

Lanos shouted that he would catch up somehow, as if he was happy just doing the mission with him.

Earl Warrug started running, and I could see why he was so obedient.

I used an auror.

Perhaps it was the effect of enlightenment, the operation of the aura became easier than before.

got stronger Even so, I missed Count Warrug.

As soon as I thought I was running, Count Warrug disappeared from sight.

We had no choice but to follow the footprints he made as he ran.

After running for a long time, I was able to pass the mountain where I had gone hunting and arrive at a forest with exceptionally many trees.

Trees, bushes, flowers, vines, etc… .

I saw Earl Warrug stopping in front of a thicket of countless types of plants.

His face darkened as he surveyed the forest.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going in?”

Lanos approached him and asked.

Following him, I stood next to Count Warrug and looked at where Count Warrug was looking.

And I could see why he was taking a serious look.

“This is a fire, right?”

“hit. The Kairos guys are rampaging properly.”

Only one part of the lush vegetation was damaged.

It was a road that had been burned and turned to ashes.

I don’t know how the fire was able to burn just such a narrow road, but thanks to that, I can tell where it went, so it wasn’t such a bad thing.

“From now on, we must be vigilant in all directions. From this forest, it’s their territory, it’s not strange if any attack comes from anywhere at any time.”

“Yes.”

“I will keep that in mind!”

Lanos was still full of energy.

Earl Warrug sent a cold glance at him as he pounded his chest and shouted.

“And, never make a sound. We are not here to play.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Be alert. You must never let your guard down.”

“Yes.”

Lanos did not sulk despite Count Warrug’s reprimand.

Rather, he clenched his fists with a face impressed by his words.

As I was about to go inside, I decided to gamble.

“Lanos.”

“yes?”

His greatsword was exceptionally irritating.

“You know that what we have to do now is speed, right?”

“right.”

I decided to clean it up now to increase his power.

“It seems that the greatsword is unnecessary for the operation.”

“what?”

At my words, he wrinkled his brow.

I said calmly to his reaction as if that was bullsh*t.

“No matter how strong you are, beyond that, that greatsword is too heavy.”

“I can afford it.”

“You are. you are.”

“What do you mean? talk exactly Don’t spin around.”

At his ferocious words, I shrugged my shoulders and said.

“It’s simple. You yourself may be able to handle that greatsword, but not the ground. The weight of the greatsword makes the ground tremble, and the enemy may notice it. You wouldn’t deny that, would you?”

“Um… .”

“As I said before, stealth and speed are the key to this operation. It would be better not to use that greatsword that could reveal its location in the operation.”

“But, this is my weapon. If I don’t have this, what am I supposed to fight with?”

He looked at me stunned.

In response to his reaction, I smiled and said that I was almost done.

“Use your fist.”

“fist… ?”

“Yes. Your monstrous body would suffice without weapons.”

“No, what kind of madman is fighting enemies with his bare hands!”

“The mercenary king.”

“… .”

At my words, he closed his mouth as if speechless.

Lanos also knew the mercenary king.

As a mercenary by birth, there were times when he came down to the south from time to time.

The destructive fist he showed then must be attractive.

“I am a prosecutor. It’s different. He is Kwon Master.”

“What could be different about you? Rather, I think fists are better than using a greatsword.”

“Well… .”

Lanos didn’t want to agree easily with a face that remained attached to the greatsword.

Just when I thought it would be nice to have a final blow here, Count Warrug opened his mouth.

“I agree with Raymond’s opinion. There are many times when you feel like you’re wearing a black suit that doesn’t fit.”

“… !”

At his words, Lanos made a shocked face.
