Chapter 129 – Electric Wire
Episode 129 – Frontline
Shake! Shake!
A train running fast.
Outside the window, you can finally see the Beltiod fortress, which is in charge of the Western Front.
The defensive magic formations engraved on the endless castle walls and the magic weapons placed here and there give an idea of the majesty of the fortress and how dangerous this place is.
A total of 10 squads were dispatched to the Western Front.
The rest of the squad will also spend the week dispersed appropriately in each direction.
For reference, all the major characters in the Abel Chronicle came to the Western Front.
Not only heroines like Yuna and Alyssa, but also Yasu and the apostle Ethan Gloucester.
The leading professors were Sarah and Professor Serlin.
The only saint is lonely guarding the academy.
“Now, get ready to get off. It’s arrived!”
While I was thinking about this and that, the train had already arrived right in front of me.
I slowly got ready.
“Luan. “Did you forget anything?”
“Yes. No. Am I a child? “Forget that.”
“… Actually, that’s right. “You’re all grown up too.”
Isis showed a strange reaction to the playful tackle. He glances toward my crotch and looks away, his cheeks turning red.
Then I pretended to pack my luggage, but it was awkward because I had already stuffed everything into my subspace pocket.
I narrowed my eyes.
‘It is revealed secretly.’
Isis must have remembered my dick that she saw 100% in the snowy mountain just a moment ago.
Otherwise, there is no way you would be so embarrassed.
The memory of that time was very impressive to me, so I understand that I can’t forget it, but I think there was a little bit of context just now.
If you think about unrelated words, it means that you are conscious of them on a daily basis.
Something is suspicious.
‘Even so, it won’t be much.’
If you look at Isis’s usual behavior or personality, you will only occasionally recall it at most, but you won’t even dare to do anything with it.
To begin with, we are also siblings.
‘It’s a shame.’
At that moment, when I secretly clicked my tongue, the train, which had been slowing down little by little, came to a complete stop.
“Arrived! Everyone get down!”
The students moved in unison according to the instructions.
It flows out like an ebb from the front and vacates the place in an instant.
We were able to get off the train quickly.
As soon as everyone stepped on the ground, a red-haired woman armed with armor who was waiting and shouted.
“Gentlemen! Welcome! Welcome! This is the Beltiod fortress on the Western Front! My name is Leona Solias, second-in-command. Please take care of me!”
Leona Solias.
As can be seen from her unusual appearance and name, this woman was the first princess, who could be said to be Regina’s older sister.
As soon as she graduated from the academy, she renounced most of her rights as a member of the royal family, freed herself from her shackles, and joined her military as she was pleased.
The reason this was possible is because she was a genius who reached level 300 when she was not even 30.
It’s hard to let go of her easily, even in the empire.
After all, she is now stationed on the Western Front with her husband, whom she married three years ago.
“Nice to meet you. Deputy Commander. A total of 80 academy members. Everyone arrived safely.”
“Good. Confirmed. Rather, Sarah Kaiman! It’s been a while. How have you been?”
When Sarah was active as a mercenary, the area she mainly worked in was the Western Front.
At level 250, she was close to the top level among mercenaries, so she was bound to remain in the princess’s memories of her.
“Yes. That’s okay. “What about the second-in-command?”
“I’m always the same! Rather, just call it comfortably. It’s not really an employment relationship anymore. Aren’t we the same age?”
“… All right. Then, I will call you Leona.”
“Great! It’s refreshing.”
Leona tapped Sarah on the shoulder and immediately fixed her gaze on Regina.
Leona, who was silent for a moment, smiled brightly and hugged Regina.
“Little brother. “It’s been a while!”
“Hey, let go of this!”
“Haha! You’ve grown a lot. “My personality hasn’t changed from before.”
Leona, who easily suppressed Regina’s resistance her, let her go after enjoying her to her heart her’s content her.
Then, looking at her face, she tilts her head.
“But something has changed.”
“… “It’s different?”
“Have you found a man?”
“I’m a man? There is no such thing!”
Regina, confused by Leona’s question her, looked at her and shook her head in disgust.
The problem is that Leona noticed it.
She glanced at me, following Regina’s eyes, and she smiled with interest.
“Ohh… It was something like that. I understand first. “If that’s you, then that’s probably it.”
“It’s not like that, it’s true.”
“I get it. Don’t let this go. Then let’s go to the fortress! I’ll guide you to your accommodation. “The commander is busy right now, so I’ll see you later.”
Leona, easily ignoring Regina’s resistance her, turned her back and took the lead.
Only then did we properly face the fortress.
“As expected, it’s amazing.”
“I know. “Is it just one year?”
Isis and Regina each expressed admiration after looking at the fortress up close.
They must have already visited in first grade.
Even if it wasn’t the same Western Front as this time.
‘It’s exactly the same as the game.’
It is no different from what you see through the monitor screen. I don’t know who it is, but the person who brought us seems to have great programming skills.
Of course, it’s a joke, and I probably made up for it all with magic or powers.
Following Leona’s guidance, we entered the interior of the fortress and witnessed a busy scene.
Leona’s explanation continues.
“Now that it is harvest season, monsters are appearing one after another. We are fully prepared to respond at any time.”
The West is famous as a granary.
Beltiod Fortress is a place to fight against monsters pouring in from the Demon World, but it could not ignore ordinary monsters.
Because all the people who were harmed by them were the families of the soldiers of this Beltiod Fortress.
“That is exactly your role. Each squad will be responsible for setting up an area and stopping the monsters. They will be deployed starting tomorrow. Everyone be nervous.”
With a grin, Leona looked back at all of us and continued her steps.
She gave a concise description of the fortress as she headed to her quarters.
‘There’s nothing to really worry about.’
As I was only an academy student, the explanations were only at a level that could be easily found.
So much so that there was no need for Leona, the second-in-command, to come forward and tell us.
However, the reason she went out of her way was to have a conversation with her younger brother, whom she had reunited with after a long time.
It was in the meantime.
The blue-haired man, who was crossing his arms in front of the magic weapon and inspecting the weapon’s magic circuit, looked at Leona and his eyes widened hers.
“You… “What are you doing here, Deputy Commander?”
“Didn’t I tell you yesterday? They say they’re sending a dispatch from the academy. I’m guiding you to your accommodation. What happened to the wizard leader? Is there a problem?”
“No. I just stopped by for an inspection. “Don’t worry about me and just go.”
“Hmm… I understand. Good luck.”
Leona pretends not to care and passes by.
However, the affection in her eyes tells us what their relationship is like.
‘Was his name Ike?’
This man is Leona’s husband.
They usually say that Geumsul is very good, but since I’m at work, it seems like I’m deliberately being more business-like.
Afterwards, she quickly arrived at her accommodation.
“Then the guidance ends here. Let’s all take a break until lunch. See you later.”
In Leona’s eyes, she was still full of determination to be with her younger brother her a little longer.
Although she distanced herself from her royal family, it was not because there was no affection between her family members, but because she simply wanted to pursue her own freedom.
However, as her second-in-command her, it would be unacceptable for her to remain absent any longer.
In the end, it was the moment when Leona was about to turn her back.
Dang, dang, dang—!
The warning bell rang loudly.
At a time when the expressions of the soldiers around her hardened, Leona’s lips actually drew a smile.
“It looks like a monster has invaded! It just worked out well. Everyone at the Academy, pay attention! From now on, put your bags down and follow me! Do you understand?”
[Yes! I understand!]
As expected, they are students from a prestigious academy.
Despite her sudden order, she chose to move in moderation rather than express doubts.
You wouldn’t know it in normal times, but this is a battlefield. In a place where people’s lives are at stake, disobeying a superior’s orders is the same as throwing away not only your life but also the lives of others.
I was worried that her hands would get bored, so I put down the luggage I was carrying and followed Leona.
Following Sarah’s instructions, everyone moves in line with their respective squads.
Before long, we were able to climb up to the castle wall and get a panoramic view of the battlefield.
─Keeeeek!
─Kwoaaaaa!
Monsters are coming from the black forest.
There were so many of them that they were like black dots, rolling around like waves.
The monsters were very diverse, ranging from small monsters such as gremlins and goblins to orcs, trolls, ogres, and cyclops.
Those whose skin is also stained black are much more powerful than ordinary individuals due to the influence of demon energy.
That momentum has spread here.
Gulp!
The first-year students could be heard swallowing softly as if they were nervous at the majesty.
At the same time, attention is focused on Leona.
You don’t mean to fight them rather than us, right? At those signs, Leona burst into laughter.
“Puhahahaha! Maybe it’s because they’re still new chicks, but they’re very scared! Don’t worry. I won’t tell you guys to fight. “I’m going to organize everything by myself anyway.”
“… Alone?”
Someone’s small question.
In response to the question that represented everyone’s feelings, Leona pointed to the castle gate with a gesture of her chin.
Kugu Goong!
Then, with good timing, the gate opened and a large man walked out.
He had left his jacket somewhere, so he was wearing only pants and confidently walked towards the waves of monsters with his bare body.
“Okay. “This is Commander Bruno Custis, in charge of the Western Front.”
At the same time that Leona revealed her identity her, her commander her stretched out her hand towards the sky.
Then, a dazzling thunderbolt erupted from his entire body, and an ax made of thunderbolts took shape in his hand.
Immediately after the shape is completely stabilized.
[These guys! Let’s have some fun!]
Commander Bruno roared and swung his ax forward.
Crumbling!
The next moment, lightning struck.
A huge amount of electric current radiated from the area where the ax hit, sweeping away all the monsters in the vicinity.
Large monsters the size of a house fly in the sky like toys.
Dozens of monsters were destroyed in those days.
But what is even more shocking is the fact that the attack was not full force, but merely a light greeting.
[Come on, you guys! If you run away, I will kill you all!]
Bang! Quang! Kwagwagwagwang!
Every time the ax is swung, the ground splits and the sky shakes.
─Queeeeek!
─Chooooo!
A group of monsters ran away screaming in the face of a natural disaster.
Their cries only sounded like this.
I have no intention of saving you anyway. You crazy guy!
What they said is true. In fact, the commander’s survival instinct broke down due to panic, and he was unconsciously killing all the attacking monsters without any mercy.
After that, before even three minutes had passed, all the monsters’ lives came to an end.
