A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Chapter 49: (1)

“Then, why don’t you tell me what you want?”

“I…,”

Upon the senior knight’s words, Uncle Jeff and Uncle Max stated their desired requests.

What they wanted was the support of the old knight for the future of their children.

“I understand. I will definitely promise you. If your children wish for it, I will raise them as knights.”

To give their children a better future, the two uncles staked their lives.

It was a somewhat irresponsible acceptance, but there was no blame towards the uncles. In this place where even the survival of the knights is not guaranteed, there is no assurance that a single soldier will survive.

In a way, risking one’s life to obtain what one desires could be considered wise.

“Well then…”

“I will also lure the monsters along with the uncles.”

“Kaiyan!”

“You brat! There’s no need for you to do that!”

Since before entering the monsters’ dwelling, Kaiyan had made a vow. If he lives, they live together. If he dies, they die together.

The senior knight looked straight into Kaiyan’s eyes, filled with determination.

“I understand your heart, but aren’t you still young? You don’t have to do this.”

“No, I will go with the uncles. Isn’t it better for three people to lure the monsters from the knight’s perspective?”

“Phew… I understand.”

The senior knight seemed to have realized that my thoughts wouldn’t change, so he reluctantly accepted.

“Kaiyan! Why are you trying to die!”

“You brat, who told you to die? Why are you doing something I didn’t ask you to!”

Jeff Kallein and Max Poland.

Perhaps because they met on the intense battlefield for a short period, indescribable emotions surged within toward Kaiyan.

“It’s okay.”

‘I will definitely save the two of them.’

“Kaiyan…”

“Phew…”

Leaving behind the uncles who let out sighs of regret, Kaiyan quickly turned his head.

It’s too late to think about an effective and good method when the monster luring operation starts. They must come up with such a method during this brief respite.

“A method… What items should I buy from the shop?”

With 1207 G, likely from occasional hunting, it wasn’t a small amount. But since survival was not just for himself but for three people, they needed to find items that would be effective, even if only to a small extent.

“First, I need to confirm if the items also apply to other people.”

According to Rieka’s explanation, the effects of player-specific items apply only to the player. But what about regular items?

Do regular items also apply only to the player?

“Magic scrolls definitely worked on other people.”

One fortunate thing was that the magic scroll they used to escape from Panyveloon Fortress worked properly.

Based on that, there’s a high chance that other regular items will work properly too.

“Uncle Jeff, try using this.”

“Huh? Is this… a mask? Why is the color like this?”

“Yes, try wearing it once. Hurry.”

Due to being too busy, Kaiyan had been wearing the transparent mask even after diverging from the elf-orc’s path and taking a different path. He handed the sky-blue mask to Uncle Jeff.

“Uh… Kaiyan! The mask disappeared!”

“Well, that’s surprising.”

When Uncle Jeff put on the sky-blue mask with a slightly hesitant expression, it turned transparent again.

That means the item is functioning properly.

“Of course, it’s obvious, so keep it quiet.”

“That, right.”

Fortunately, the knights were taking a rest in a slightly distant place, perhaps to give them some time to talk.

There’s nothing good for the knights to hear from their conversation.

“Uncles.”

“Yeah?”

“What do you plan to do after luring the monsters?”

“That…”

“Hehe.”

Both uncles sighed while looking into the air, unable to answer Kaiyan’s question.

Clearly, they hadn’t thought of another method. Well, with thousands of monsters likely following them, there might not be anyway.

“Can you trust me once?”

‘As long as I’m alive, I’ll make sure both uncles can’t die, even if they want to.’

Three hours have passed since they hid on the outskirts of the harpies’ nest.

The sky had gradually darkened, and the noisy harpies that were flying in the sky had returned to their nest.

It’s an appropriate time to carry out the operation against these poor-sighted creatures.

“Well then, let’s begin.”

The senior knight spoke while avoiding Kaiyan’s gaze with his eyes. Perhaps he feels slightly apologetic.

To start the operation, Kaiyan stood up from where he was sitting with the uncles and prepared to run. We must attract the monsters’ attention as much as possible while running.

“Kaiyan, I’m truly sorry,”

Just as he was about to start running, he heard the senior knight’s somewhat melancholic voice from behind.

Or perhaps it’s what he wants to believe.

“…It’s fine. I don’t have any intention to die.”

“Right, I hope I can see you alive again.”

“I’m not particularly keen on that. Well then…”

Thunk!

As if expressing his unwillingness to continue the conversation, he forcefully kicked the ground and sprang forward.

This is the beginning. The crossroads of life and death.

“Uncles, you must never separate!”

“Don’t worry, we got it!”

“Just follow me!”

While it’s possible to quietly slip away using the concealment cloak or other items, he’ll lure the monsters as promised with the old knight.

They staked their lives to save Tarien, so they deserve compensation.

For the uncles to receive compensation, the old knight must survive. And for him to survive, they must lure the monsters as much as possible.

“Hey, harpy chicks, over here!”

“It’s not time to sleep!”

Clang! Clang!

Even while running, shouting loudly wasn’t enough, so he made a loud noise by using his sword and shield.

“Kiaaak?”josei

“Kkaaak!”

Only then did the harpies, who had finally left their nests in confusion, spot them and let out shrieks. They must have been quite surprised when they suddenly burst out of the nest.

“They’re chasing us!”

“Run faster!”

“Huhaak! Just how many of them are there?”

Glancing back, they saw that the dark sky had grown even darker. And that…

Kyaaahh—

Kkieeek!

Thousands, even tens of thousands of harpies covered the sky.

They completely blocked the light of Pwarlin, which used to illuminate the sky instead of the sun.

It’s incomparably inefficient. But this is possible precisely because they’re monsters.

“I have to make them follow for at least 30 minutes.”

Kyaaah—

However, seeing that the harpy chasing them so closely already made it seem difficult.

“Uncles! Do you remember what I told you earlier?”
