0.01 Second Sword Master

Episode 35.

“Stand straight up the point of your sword!!”

“You are the knights of the proud Eli Kingdom!”

“Yes!!”

The knights lined up today, wielding their swords diligently, and devoted themselves to training.

It was Aaron who was leading the training today.

“You shouldn’t swing the sword so lightly. Stronger, faster!”

“Yes!”

As far as I know, Aaron has a characteristic that increases the morale of the army and increases the training effect at the same time.

It’s not that he’s chosen as one of the scammers for nothing.

When you play this game, you can see what kind of character is good by looking at the guide, but Aaron was always included among the good longevity to acquire.

‘But what if I raise the knights well?’

It is important to fight and win against enemies with strategic tactics and armed force using spears, but this is not the Middle Ages where you fight only with swords.

It is a fantasy world with wizards and a magic corps created by gathering them.

Of course, the knights would be strong in melee, but there was no way to beat the magic corps from a distance. If that’s the case, our kingdom should be able to raise a magic corps in the same way, but

‘Ugh. How come this stupid kingdom doesn’t even have a proper wizard?’

I don’t even want a name.

Still, shouldn’t there be at least one magician with at least 75 magic power?

However, the stat of the magician with the highest magical power in the Kingdom of Eli was only 62.

‘It would be difficult if the magic corps were not properly equipped when fighting the enemy.’

I needed a wizard.

A wizard who can raise our kingdom’s magic troops!

‘Should I recognize the wandering wizards and bring them to our kingdom?’

There are wizards who leave the world and wander the continent.

In the yard where there is a sword master called a wanderer right now, is there no wizard whose stats are compliant?

The problem was that they changed their location so often that it was difficult to find them.

‘Even so, I can’t leave it unattended.’

For the growth of the Magic Corps, at least one skilled wizard was essential.

“Aren’t the knights much stronger than before?”

Someone said it was Horace.

“Thanks to the majesty of the grand commander, talented people are gathering from all directions. There are overflowing people who volunteer to become knights of our kingdom and fight next to the Grand Master.”

Horace was bursting with a very pleasant laugh.

“Not only that. As the door to trade with the Kingdom of Omer is wide open, the economic situation is also very good.”

That meant, at least not yet, that the money hadn’t run out.

“Several merchants are visiting our kingdom, and the taxes coming in have increased accordingly. With that money, we are slowly raising our armaments and accepting new recruits, so our kingdom’s army will be much bigger than before.”

At the place Horeth pointed out, there were new recruits who had just entered the Kingdom of Eli and were receiving training.

They were on their way walking, following the drill instructor’s orders.

“I know that the commander of the Great Knights emphasizes the dignity and dignity of knights on the outside, so I am focusing on ceremonial training.”

So, like a trainee who went to the division training center, he was walking hard and hard, keeping pace.

It seemed that this happened not to me, but to Aslan before me, who was pathologically obsessed with bravado.

I was going to say that I don’t think it’s necessary to do that, but seeing it here, it was really nice to see it because it was definitely walking in accordance with the ceremony.

yes. If you’re weak, you should be good at things like that.

“Are you watching the training today?”

“I plan to look around for a while. There is an initiation ceremony later.”

The reason I check the training situation every now and then is because of the characteristics of this game.

If a person named the commander of the Grand Division is not interested in training and leaves everything to the knights, at some point the guys goof around and don’t do their job properly.

That’s why it was important to come out once in a while and keep the reins tight. More than anything,

‘I have to make good use of Aslan’s characteristics.’

If you make good use of the [Dominion] and [Cheat] characteristics, you can extract and eat the training effect more deliciously.

In particular, if you use those characteristics at today’s initiation ceremony, it is possible to keep the morale of the army high for a while.

“Isn’t that the only voice!? The Kingdom of Eli doesn’t need people with rotten minds like you!”

“sorry!”

“Bigger!!”

“sorry!!”

It was like military PTSD coming on all of a sudden.

I watched the new recruits, sweating profusely in this hot weather, being teased by their fiendish drill sergeant.

‘Is there anyone who can be useful?’

I checked the information floating on the recruits, but like ordinary people, there were many cases where only the name appeared without stats.

Even when he floated occasionally, his strength stat was below 30.

‘Maybe it’s because I haven’t grown up yet.’

It was greedy to want a lump of gold to come out of ordinary soldiers.

They may be weak as individuals, but when they gather as an organization called the military, their strength cannot be determined simply by military force.

‘Still, I thought it would be nice to get something.’

If I pick up a few guys with cotyledons and train them as escort knights, they will be useful in the future…

[Alexander]

“…?”

My, what did I see wrong?

I blinked and checked again.

[Alexander]

Power: 65

Intellect: 65

mana: 65

I didn’t see it wrong.

For a moment, I felt my heart thump and sink.

‘crazy. Why is he here?’

Alexander.

The main character of this game.

A hero to save the continent in crisis!

And,

‘A scammer with all sorts of S-class traits!’

That was the main character, Alexander.

It is a character created by the developers to break the game unconditionally.

Such a great person is out there right now.

“Trainee No. 26. That’s all I can do!”

“sorry!”

“Get down!”

“yep!”

That too, while listening to the cackles of the drill instructor, being fooled around in the dust.

* * *

Let’s stay calm.

I took a deep breath and calmed my agitated mind.

But,

“no. No matter how you think about it, isn’t it strange?”

Alexander isn’t anywhere else, why the hell is he in Eli Kingdom?

When the player proceeds through the game without selecting Alexander, they are divided into three routes.

The first is that Alexander travels around the continent as an adventurer,

The second route is to enter the kingdom magic corps and become a wizard to save the continent.

The third and last step is to enter as an ordinary soldier in a powerful country, become a knight there, and become a commander of a large division in recognition of his ability.

“If you look at the route now, it’s the third.”

The problem was that the kingdom that Alexander would enter was fixed.

‘Kala’ kingdom with Karman and ‘Man’ called the kingdom of knights.

It was normal to enter one of the two when taking the third route.

Surprisingly, however, he entered the kingdom of Eli, which had nothing to do with the story at all.

“Is this a good thing… or a bad thing…”

Originally, according to the storyline, he had to enter the kingdom of Kala, gain Karman’s recognition, become the next Grand Knight Commander, and spread his influence throughout the continent.

Alexander’s role is to resolve conflicts between different races and bring them together while uniting them!

“If this is the case, even if the story is different, it will be very different.”

what about this

Shall I kick you out?

not.

If I kick him out for no reason, Alexander might hold a grudge and get his revenge later. But to leave it as it is…

“Should I rather stand by my side and watch?”

Right now, his stats are only 65, but due to his nature, it is obvious that he will grow up in an instant.

If I had him as an escort knight and kept him by my side, it would have been tantamount to gaining an enormous means of defense.

“I’m probably the only one who wants to make the main character an escort knight.”

It was a foolish imagination, but if I could help the main character safely save the continent according to the route…

“I live, this continent also lives, then everyone has a happy ending, right?”

Then I’ll get out of this fucking game.

As I reached that point, I applauded! hit

Right then.

“Standby division commander. Everything is ready. The knights are waiting.”

At the words heard from outside, his expression, which had been clouded with happy imagination, hardened and his voice gained strength.

“I’ll be leaving soon.”

“Yes.”

It seems that all preparations for the initiation ceremony are complete.

I got up and got ready to leave.

He tidied up his disheveled hair and tidied up the armor he was wearing.

And the cloak, which can never be removed, was stiffened so that there was no mess.

‘Even though it’s annoying.’

Read at readwn.com

Just as you must always keep an eye on the public sentiment of the kingdom and keep it high, the morale of the military is also the same.

That way, in the event of a war, it is possible to respond more quickly and to suppress rebellion. So even if it was annoying, it was something I had to do.

“Everyone salutes the Grand Knight Commander!”

“insect!”

When I appeared, thousands of knights gathered for the initiation ceremony held their swords high.

under-. yes.

it tastes like this

When I asked why army division commanders had to gather people in a parade ground and train mutts, it seemed to be because of the taste of mulberry.

If thousands of soldiers gather only for me and salute for me, the memory will never be forgotten.

“…”

I looked down at the knights filling the space for a moment.

Almost all the knights in the kingdom gathered to congratulate the new soldiers who had completed basic training and now officially became knights in training in the Kingdom of Eli.

A normal person would come down without being able to say a single word properly because his heart was shaking.

“I sincerely congratulate you on becoming a knight of the proud kingdom of Eli.”

There was no sense of tension in front of their eyes and Aslan’s morbid bravado and infatuation, which took for granted that he reigned over them.

Rather, they looked more nervous when they saw me.

“You will do great things in the future for the infinite glory of this kingdom and continent.”

Therefore, all I had to do was accept the bravado that was running through my veins without trying to resist.

“But the process will never be smooth. Someone could die in the process.”

The new soldiers put on a slightly stiff expression.

Death is a scary thing for everyone.

But I wasn’t trying to scare them.

“But the death is not meaningless. As long as someone remembers your noble sacrifice, you will remain as an eternal star. Just like the heroes who died for our kingdom.”

I just had something I wanted to tell them.

“And I, Aslan, will be the one who remembers you to the end.”

I closed my eyes for a moment and then opened them.

Then, the information of everyone gathered here appeared above their heads.

“Rahman, Riffel, Jedin, Ruos.”

I made eye contact with each one and called out the names above them.

Then they shook their bodies, stared at me with surprised eyes, and answered.

“Yes, four!!”

Besides that, I continued to call everyone I saw by name.

“Ali, Logan, Lumine.”

“Eh, yep!!”

All of them were busy answering in surprised voices.

After calling a few more names, I looked around at the knights again and said,

“I know the names of all of you here.”

“!?”

Because I see their names in my eyes.

“I keep all of your names in my head, in order that I may one day remember the name of one of you when he made a noble sacrifice for this kingdom.”

I captured the shameless bravado that rose along my straight back in a voice that resounded solemnly.

“Even if no one in the world remembers you, I, Aslan, will forever remember your names and your bravery.”

I could feel the heat in their eyes looking at me.

It further stimulated my bravado and made it boil.

“You are my alter ego and my sword. Don’t be afraid to face any enemy. I am with you guys. I remember you guys.”

So you, to protect me, Aslan,

“For the future of this kingdom and this continent.”

For my safety and the end of this game,

“Do not be afraid, fight.”

I added the final word with a bluff that peaked.

“My brothers.”

At the same time, as if he had been waiting, the strong wind blowing from somewhere made his cloak flutter.

“Wow!!”

With the fluttering of the cloak, all the soldiers raised their swords high and shouted.

* * *

“Standby Division Commander!!”

“Wowaaa-!!”

The trembling of the body does not stop.

That uncontrollable trembling became a voice, and Alexander was shouting with his companions.

Aslan, the great name.

“Uh huh. The training was really hard, but I did well to come in.”

“That kind of person is our grand division commander.”

“Now then, does he even know my name?”

“of course! Now we are also knights of Eli Kingdom!”

It was such a tremendous roar that the ground shook.

It sounded like it could defeat a large army of enemies with just its voice.

that much,

“Wow, that’s great.”

How can you light a fire in a person’s heart with just a few words?

Alexander’s wobbly legs did not calm down.

Indeed, Aslan is a great person, no.

“You are a hero.”

That was the true hero he had been dreaming of so much.
