Chapter 470
As expected, Siegfried was younger than me.
what more needs to be said The age of the guy and I proved that there was a perfect hierarchical relationship, so the result was obvious.
“Brother, let’s do well in the future?”
“Nue… hee…”
Like a person who made the wrong choice of entrusting his hair to a local hairdresser, he gritted his teeth and patted Siegfried on the shoulder as he answered, escaping from the tent. greeted
It wasn’t because I had any specific requirements, but because I was in a situation where I had no choice but to stand out, it was more like Princess Eselua’s consideration so that I could properly distance myself from the people around me. Afterwards, after explaining the situation as agreed with Siegfried and expressing her intention to accompany her to tomorrow’s battle, Princess Eselua, unlike the knights who briefly expressed admiration and goodwill, expressed her doubts.
“Are you okay? There will be people in the kingdom who will look at you with an unpleasant gaze.”
“You don’t have to worry. It’s already an agreement with Messina and Princess.”
Those who are dissatisfied with the fact that as soon as the knight of Isthel’s flute moves to the battlefield without any agreement with the commander, he moves with the warriors of the empire, everyone will be ruled by the king’s order. In the first place, my purpose itself was to prevent the shoveling of the Demon King’s army and Siegfried, who can speak Korean, so there is no reason to associate with the military.
“My brother will be able to explain the details, right?”
“…Neue. Mureunijieu…”
This is really fun. If you show it in front of Esmuer later, it will be very good and you will surely want to die.
“Zeke…?”
Apart from my sentiments, it was Princess Eselua who couldn’t accept the sudden change in situation and collected hooks over her head, but Siegfried had to make excuses for this. I decided to make a very embarrassing claim that I had decided to serve him as my older brother out of gratitude for saving Entyre’s life.
Welcome to the world of sibling reversal, Eselua.
“…Oh dear. Excuse me, Asilier led me to the pre-prepared abode. I have an attendant and an escort and have already told them, so feel free to instruct them if you need anything.”
Realizing belatedly that I had been bruised, I thanked Princess Esselua for her consideration and headed to the tent where Asillie was resting with a guide, an imperial knight.
Siegfried promised to deliver it when tomorrow’s work was decided, so I didn’t have to worry about anything after that.
Rather than beating up troublesome things, it was to respect Siegfried’s judgment and the soldiers who had been rolling on this battlefield for months or years, so he didn’t complain either.
“Then rest in peace.”
As soon as I arrived at the tent, I responded to the courteous greetings of the knights in the escort and polite imperial knights with moderation, as if taking over, and entered the tent. Sitting on the bed with the two ladies-in-waiting, Asilie could be seen stroking the elongated Leica, clearly expressing her displeasure with the ladies-in-waiting.
“What are you so uncomfortable with, older sister? Think of her as a housekeeper like Tie.”
When I said a word because it was funny, Asillie looked at me as if she was dumbfounded and protested.
“Tier doesn’t just stand still and wait for my instructions…!”
The ladies-in-waiting laughed very lightly, as if they were unfamiliar with such a reaction, and I laughed because I was surprised that Asilie had not had such an experience even though she had lived for over a hundred years, so I was slapped on the shoulder for shame.
“Rather than that, did the story end well?”
With Asilie inflating her cheeks at my reaction, she quickly took off her gear with the help of the ladies-in-waiting, then Asilie, who put down her Leica and brewed tea in a luxurious teapot that had been placed in advance, spoke first.
“Yes. It was sorted out without any major problems. Now, I think it will be finished if we join the next operation and capture only the phantom wizard.”
“I’ve been following you, but I can’t stand with you on the battlefield… it’s a pity.”
Asilier’s skill with a bow is obviously close to art, but it is limited to the bow skill, and close combat is definitely weak, so you can’t play together on the battlefield like Entire.
It was for that reason that he only aimed for sniping when fighting the Demon King’s Special Forces, so he would know better than anyone else that there was nothing new, but the face of Asilie, who handed him the teacup, was sincerely full of regret.
But I’m rather thinking that it’s a relief that Asilie can’t fight melee.
“Even if my sister was good at close combat, I would have been reluctant this time.”
According to what we talked about for a while, the weapon that pierced Entire’s shoulder was a spear.
Considering that Siegfried’s skills are by no means easy, it is said that he is either a spearman skilled enough to launch a surprise attack after aiming for his back, or a mass offensive, but he pierced Entire’s shield with his shoulder. So, of course, it’s closer to the former.
“The axeman brought out the secondary armament with the feeling that it was a last resort, but this side is likely to be the main armament at all.”
A strong man who fights with a weapon that is tetanic just by brushing against him. It is said that it is the military policy to start bombing the area with high-ranking magic when a similar-looking person appears after Entyre was attacked, but what more explanation is needed?
After the explanation, Asilier’s gaze at me began to fill with worries and concerns, but he only accepted a promise to be careful, and did not try to dissuade him.
The first day I arrived at the front went like that.
Even though there was an unknown threat lurking on the battlefield, I was able to sleep comfortably even in the bustling atmosphere because the signs were good, such as treating Entire and solving Siegfried’s problems upon arrival.
◈
I woke up to the sound of the trumpet on the battlefield, which I hadn’t heard in a while, after the winter sky, when the sun rose late, became clearer.
Even though it was a front line, it was not that they steadfastly blew the weather trumpet. I was just woken up by the signal that rang out in the midst of a battle on the battlefield far away. However, the fact that I was awakened by the sound of the trumpet made me feel bad for no reason, which was an unavoidable racial characteristic of a veteran of the Republic of Korea.
It felt like black humor to be able to sleep peacefully while people were dying on the battlefield… but since I was going to run around with Siegfried today anyway, I didn’t feel particularly sorry or notice. The hard-working soldiers only glanced at me for a moment as they passed by, and when they expressed awe, they showed no swearing or dissatisfaction with their eyes.
Honestly, it might have been more comfortable to curse with my eyes. I don’t know how the rumor about the flute knight spread, but thanks to the soldiers passing by, even saluting as if they had met a national savior, it was more noticeable that I woke up late than getting up late.
“No matter how much I hear the damn trumpet, I can’t get used to it.”
We would have slipped back into the tent had it not been for our little brother Siegfried from far away grumbling. Maybe it was early, but I met the eyes of the guy who was walking with his gear already full, and I greeted him with a smile.
“Welcome my brother.”
“Ah, wash it. I can’t adapt to this any more.”
“Why are you so dead in the morning?”
“I’ll turn around, really. Did you think we’d have a conversation like this here?”
I don’t think I hate it when I see him shaking his head and splitting the threads. Even though there are escorts, they can even playfully pretend to bow and say hello.
“Have you eaten, brother?”
“I just woke up.”
“That’s great. Let’s go out to eat together.”
“Damn, that expression sounds like shit.”
My feet went out without my knowledge. Siegfried still split the room and naturally blocked my kick with the shin protector, but as if he was not joking, he nodded his head and said to the escort guarding the entrance.
“Later, tell the ladies-in-waiting to bring Asili-nim’s share.”
“I can’t digest the soldiers, warrior.”
“I’m playing. I wonder if those who can’t digest it will try to steal my bread and eat it.”
I wondered if it was because he was an imperial knight, so he could have a comfortable conversation, but listening to him speak, it seems that he just maintains a consistent attitude and lives without a sense of distance. As he sent Laika, who was trying to sneak out, back inside and followed him, Siegfried, who had maintained an awkward attitude until just now, corrected his posture and expression and opened his mouth quietly.
“I heard a story just now, but the demon king’s movements have changed a bit, as if he had noticed that his brother was coming.”
I knew there would be a serious story, but the content felt a bit out of the blue, so I tilted my head. Defense magic that counters observation magic is the basis of the basics on the battlefield, so it won’t be that way, can you hit the surveillance with a 24-hour telescope?
“By what number?”
“You were attacked by monsters on your way here, right? They’re not naturally occurring.”
Ah, living, breathing noise pollution. I thought he showed crazy aggression, but there was something.
“Monster trainer? Or mind control?”
“I haven’t figured out that far. Since the amount is the goal, I only maximize the aggression. It’s hard to catch the tail because only one or two of them are used like surveillance drones.”
“Aren’t we like that?”
“There is, but the scale and utilization are different.
In this case, the magic power is a thug. Seeing Siegfried glaring at me with his nose wrinkled in dissatisfaction, I kicked the shin guard once more.
“Anyway. How did you bring up the story?”
“He seems to be nervous that he will repeat what his brother did during the Battle of Levien.”
“…A surprise attack from the rear?”
With a short nod, a smile spread across Siegfried’s lips.
“It wasn’t just that I was nervous, I was very nervous. To the point where the wires were slightly pushed out.”
It is rather poisonous to have excellent intelligence. Understanding what Siegfried meant, I smiled equally at the unexpected income.
“I’m not going to surprise you.”
“I know yeah.”
Obviously, from a distance, it would have looked like two villains laughing, not two warriors.
