Episode 129 Chase of the Crazy Guys (2)
Shhhhh!
A sharp blast split the sky. Hundreds of red lines were drawn in the deep blue late autumn sky rising toward noon.
The line becomes a melody. Become a flame. stuck in the ground.
It finally blossomed into a flame.
Grumble!
The effect of the fire arrow was perfect. It was a dry late fall to begin with. It is said that there was fog in the early morning, but even that had completely dried up in the morning sunlight.
Moreover, as it was the season before winter, the ground was full of dry yellow grass and reeds.
Flames bloomed wherever the fiery arrow landed. There were hundreds and thousands of such flaming arrows.
Hundreds and thousands of fires spread and grew in size. Gradually? No, rapidly. So much so that I can’t even think of stopping it. Without knowing the limits. So much so that I can’t handle it.
Kuwaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“…crazy.”
Rachiel muttered without realizing it. Before we knew it, fires were breaking out all over the plains.
The fire grew rapidly as it met the dry season’s grass and wind and ate each other, growing exponentially. It was threatening to engulf the entire plain in an instant.
Of course, the area near the pile of rocks where the group was hiding was no exception.
‘crazy! Seriously, that guy is crazy!’
Rakiel swallowed a curse. It wasn’t difficult to understand the situation. It was easy to predict what would happen in the future.
What if I stay here like this?
‘You win the stone pot grill!’
The more I thought about it, the faster my heart beat. In fact, my heart and five organs were going crazy.
Ding dong!
[Your five internal organs are very surprised by the situation you are in.]
[The worry and worry in your heart deepens.]
[Your heart is pounding harder as your worry deepens.]
[The remaining five internal organs are suffering from the noise between floors. [There is.]
[We all need to have lifestyle habits that are considerate of our neighbors and reduce noise between floors. Please wear slippers indoors and place mats on the floor to prevent inter-floor noise. Engrave in your mind the concept that this is a space where we all live together, not alone. When you refute, everything you say is correct.]
“….”
What is the message I just saw?
But it was not a situation to worry about such things(?). Rakiel shook his head vigorously.
I guessed the intention of the Javilon who set fire to the entire plain.
‘It’s obvious. He must have guessed that I was hiding somewhere in the plains. However, I was concerned about keeping the kingdom’s army in check, so I resorted to this tactic.’
What if you set it on fire?
This person won’t be able to stand it anymore and will run away. That’s what they’re aiming for.
Just like when you catch a raccoon, you light smoke in the cave to make the prey jump out. As if only then did the hunting begin. That’s how they try to hunt this side.
So, we need to hold out here as much as possible. It’s a loss if you move. But… the problem is that it is impossible to endure.
“majesty! “If I stay here any longer, it’s over!”
Damian’s urgent voice was heard. Sir Gardin’s trembling cry also came.
“Huh! “Your Majesty!”
Actually, the fire was already spreading to nearby areas. The speed was much faster than expected.
The wind direction was not good. What if I stay here like this? It is truly a situation where we will face the ending of five people being roasted in stone pots in a pile of stones.
‘…shit.’
Crack!
I had no idea that Javilon would do such crazy things. Rakiel gritted his teeth and admitted his mistake. It was a mistake to see the other person as less crazy.
He made a decision.
“Let’s go north.”
“You mean the North, Your Majesty? “Not in the east?”
Sir Gardin widened his eyes. The fire was spreading from the west. The eastern side, where the Valois fort was located, was still clean.
So Sir Gardin did not understand. Using common sense, I thought it would be safer to run east.
Rachiel, guessing his thoughts, shook his head.
“The fire is spreading from west to east due to the wind direction. It would be suicidal to keep running away from such fire. “The fire will spread faster than our steps.”
“Ah…”
“So, if possible, at a right angle to the direction the fire is spreading. Let’s move quickly. “Because I don’t have time.”
There was really no time to hesitate.
Rakiel took the lead and ran out of the gap between the rocks. Afterwards, Sir Gardin, who was the last to hold Damien’s cucumber, ran hurriedly.
And across the west side of the plain, a few hundred steps away. There, Javilon’s eyes were sparkling as he looked at the group.
?
“I found it….”
Javilon felt joy. At the same time, I felt terrible pain.
It hurt.
My head hurt every time I took a breath. It wasn’t just sick. It felt like my head was being split by an ax while I was sober.
It felt like a skewer was being stabbed into both temples and swung around. I thought my eyeballs would pop out at any moment.
It was even more so because it was a pain that only lasted a few days.
It wasn’t like this when the saintly military doctor stroked my head every morning. After listening to his strange song and feeling his touch, I didn’t feel sick all day. I was happy back then.
‘But you abandoned me and ran away?’
I lied to myself.
I lied.
And ran away. dare. You don’t know how grateful I am. Throw it away. He left cruelly. I tried to throw it away like a devoted person.
…Crack!
My teeth were ground.
It was a shame.
A saintly military doctor is currently running away from the fire on the other side of the plain. Military doctor Lee Han, whom he once thought he would like to have as a lifelong friend. It was hateful.
I felt resentful. At the same time, it was so precious. I didn’t want to let you go. I didn’t want to lose it to anyone.
‘You are my limbs.’
That’s how it should be. That will make it happen. So I set it on fire. Just in case of suspicion. With the confidence that I hope so. They shouted towards the plains and set fire to it.
Thanks to you, I found it. I was happy. My heart trembled. I couldn’t stop glee at the thought of holding onto the author for the rest of my life from now on.
Slurp!
Javilon’s sword was drawn. He aimed his sword at Rachiel and the others.
“The SS marches in!”
With a shout, he spurred on. The huge black horse carrying him let out a heavy breath.
The 300 SS units that followed him wore helmets. The shouts of elite cavalry followed him across the plain.
Doo doo doo doo…!
The scene of a blazing fire blocked the path ahead of Javilon and the SS. However, Javilon did not hesitate at all.
Rather, he urged his horse even more. Realizing the owner’s will, the muscles of the black horse’s entire body gave out explosive power. Speeded up.
At the same time, Javilon drew his sword back. I aimed. The moment when a maddening brilliance appears in those eyes.
Tsufit!
stabbed
The point where the sword pointed was empty space.
What the sword split was fire.
Tukkuk-kuhwareuk!
It was an explosive stab full of the Sword Master’s aura. The fire in the direction the sword pierced went out in an instant, as if it had encountered a vacuum storm.
An instantaneous tunnel several meters wide was created through the flames. Javilon jumped into it. The SS followed.
“under! Hey! under!”
Encouraging your pet.
Making a path through the flames.
Javilon smiled with cruel glee. A saintly military doctor running away from afar. I couldn’t hide my joy at the thought of getting closer to him by the minute.
I couldn’t help but feel happy at the thought that they would soon capture him and cut off his legs, making it impossible for him to escape forever.
So just a little more now.
Just wait a little longer.
Just run a little more.
This hellish headache is over.
“…under!”
Two hit!
Javilon’s mad spirit split the flames. He and the 300 bodyguards that followed him continued their relentless charge toward Rakiel and his group in the center of the plain.
And on the eastern side of the distant plains. There, at the Valois fortress, the kingdom’s army was in a state of turmoil, watching the chaos on the plains.
?
“How is this… happening?”
Merovanger, King of Amboise, felt perplexed. At the same time, I also felt that my headache was starting to hurt.
I was embarrassed.
I couldn’t believe it when I witnessed the situation. It wasn’t just absurd. I felt like I was being stabbed in the back by someone while I was still sober.
I never thought something like this would happen. I wanted to rub my eyelids roughly at least once.
This was even more so because the rebels moved out of nowhere. It was even more embarrassing because a fire had suddenly started across the plains.
‘But you’re causing such a fuss and even sending out cavalry to chase after just three people?’
King Merovanger’s gaze was directed to the center of the plain. There were three people running away from the fire.
Because of the distance, it was impossible to identify them. However, judging from the fact that he is not riding a horse…
“It appears that he is not a high-ranking noble or a wealthy merchant.”
A deep voice came from beside me. It was Sir Idris, an elder and sword master who assisted the throne throughout his life. His words continued.
“The smoke is so thick that I can’t make out the details even with my vision, but they appear to be three young men.”
“Three men?”
“That is so, Your Majesty. Judging by their plain attire, I guess…”
“They must be ordinary people.”
“It seems so, Your Highness.”
“Hmm…”
King Merobanger swallowed his sleep.
Rebels who suddenly set fire to the plains. Three commoners hiding in the plains and hurriedly running away from the fire. The rebel cavalry chased after the commoners as if they were going to kill them.
How should we interpret this situation?
‘I’m confused.’
Could it be that the three commoners being chased are unexpectedly important people? However, even after careful consideration, no particularly plausible person came to mind.
In this situation, I couldn’t think of anyone in shabby, ordinary clothes who would be worthy of being chased by the rebel cavalry.
The King asked Sir Idris.
“But right before I shot the fire arrow. It seems like Javilon is shouting something. “Did you hear that?”
“I’m sorry, but I haven’t heard anything.”
“Even with your hearing as a sword master?”
“That is so, Your Majesty. Javilon is also someone who has reached the level of a sword master. In all likelihood, the mana contained in the voice must have been carefully controlled to prevent the contents of the shout from reaching this area.”
“…Right.”
The king’s eyes narrowed.
His worries deepened.
Sudden action by an unknown rebel group. How should I interpret this situation? The king’s thoughts became busy. In the end, I finally came to my own conclusion.
“I guess that traitor from Javilon is trying to lower our morale.”
“The director thinks the same, Your Majesty.”
“Did you see it that way too?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Sir Idris nodded. There was a subtle anger in his nod.
“Javilon, the intentions of that blasphemy traitor are clear. “They probably want to draw the attention of our kingdom’s army by setting fire to the plains and then brutally massacre innocent commoners as if they were hunting them.”
“…I guess so. By doing so, they are trying to lower the morale of our kingdom’s army.”
“That is so, Your Highness. This may be a ploy to make us feel helpless and lower our morale by making us watch our people being hunted. In other words, this is a clear and base fight, Your Majesty.”
“If I do that, I won’t be pushed into a fight, right?”
“Of course, Your Highness.”
Sir Idris answered firmly. King Merobanger nodded.
“good. My thoughts are the same as yours. So let us rescue our weak and pitiful people who are being chased by traitors.”
“Can the director go in person?”
“no.”
The King shook his head.
“You will always be by my side. Instead, let’s send the child and Jim’s guards.”
“yes? Even so… are you okay with that?”
“of course.”
The king gives a clear answer.
A Royal Guard would be sufficient. It would be possible to crush a single cavalry unit of the rebel army head on.
The King was confident and confident. Of course, it was a misjudgment as he did not know that Swordmaster Javilon was directly leading the rebel cavalry.
In fact, the king’s misjudgment was due to the thick smoke that enveloped the entire plain.
What if it was normal? Sir Idris, who was nearby, would have recognized the appearance of Javilon at the head of the royal cavalry with the sword master’s unique vision.
But that wasn’t the case now. Because of the fire, visibility was very poor.
A confident smile appeared on the lips of King Melobanger, who was completely unaware of this fact.
“If the SS is running to rescue our poor people being chased by the rebels, and the child is the one leading the SS, it will also be quite a symbolic figure. “Wouldn’t this be a great help in boosting the morale of our kingdom’s army?”
“If it is your will, I will follow your orders.”
Sir Idris bowed his head.
The order was issued.
After a while, the gates of the kingdom’s Valois fortress opened. A total of 500 King’s Guards marched out, their silver barding flashing.
They advanced west without hesitation. The goal was to rescue three poor people(?) who were being chased.
At the head of the king’s personal guard was Princess Adeline.
“under! Hey! under!”
A galloping assault horse.
The roar from above.
Even so, Adeline’s whole body was itching to see people being chased by the rebels.
I wanted to run right away and save the poor people. Then, Abamama’s name fell. I was happy. I was thrilled.
At the same time, she made a promise.
I will definitely save my people.
He said that he would save the people from the rebels’ clutches in front of everyone and boost the morale of the kingdom’s army. I will destroy the enemy and bring them severe frustration. I will definitely succeed. I made a promise, encouraged myself, and made up my mind.
“under! ha!”
The assault horses were further encouraged. I ran through the acrid smoke. Fortunately, this side was closer to the people than the rebels. I was happy. It seemed like this would be the first to reach the people.
‘little bit more! fast!’
ran.
I got closer to the people. I could also catch a glimpse of a line of rebels running behind them in pursuit. My heart was pounding.
‘good. you can do it.’
Her grip on the reins tightened. I encouraged myself. On the other hand, I suddenly thought of a person who was like a benefactor.
‘Is the crown prince looking at you?’
Thanks to you, I have been completely cured of gallstones and am now proudly fighting against the rebels to save my poor people.
So please support me wherever you are. I will always try my best to never forget my gratitude to you.
‘therefore…!’
Heart pounding.
A horse’s hoof hitting the ground.
The sight of the people rapidly approaching. However, the back of the head felt like a chestnut that was somehow familiar. Eventually, that chubby red-haired man turned around and gave me an uncomfortable expression…
‘Huh?’
Princess Adeline was shocked. Her eyes widened in astonishment.
‘…Prince?’
Didn’t you say you were going back to your country? Are you sure you didn’t write to me like that? So, I also shipped the cask of queen bee liquor you soaked in to the Imperial Capital. Even with the most expensive express carriage delivery, it was completely worthwhile.
‘Then why are you here?’
Princess Adeline ground her molars without realizing it, enjoying(?) the strangely creeping sense of disappointment and betrayal.
