4. Rynella’s fate is decided by Rynella (71)

Storm and lightning were pouring down on the battlefield.

The main cause was Elsie.

She had already emptied several bottles of magic potion and was projecting all her power.

Ian, who allowed the corpse giant to take an unexpected blow, was in serious condition.

Those who ran to rescue Ian were bound to become desperate.

Of course, this was also true of Seria, who was engrossed in the distance.

She gave the order reflexively, without going through her brain.

“Sir Alex, let’s enter the battlefield immediately!”

Unlike his timid appearance before, his voice was fluent.

However, the response to Seria’s instructions did not return.

On the contrary, the knights of the Yurdina family were just staring at Seria.

The moment when Seria’s eyebrows, which had been uncomfortable even without doing so, narrowed.

Nogisa Alex asked on behalf of his vassals.

“… … Are you serious?”

Are you serious?

Seria was so moved by that question that she had no choice but to scream.

“Then it must be a lie?! Ji-seonbae Ian right there… … .”

“miss.”

However, Alex’s voice in response was calm.

A tone that is neither heavy nor light.

That’s why Seria had no choice but to send an even more puzzled look.

Alex’s face did not show the determination typical of a vassal who rebelled.

Nor was it the attitude of a soldier who silently carried out his superior’s orders.

He only asked back.

“… … Have you memorized all the names of the soldiers?”

Sarah bit her lip.

1:00 is urgent, what are you talking about?

However, Seria was still not recognized by his retainers.

The North follows only those who are worthy to follow.

So even if Alex dared to continue the conversation with Seria, no one would stop him. Rather, I was just watching as if it was interesting.

If it was a battle where the fate of the Yurdina family was staked, this place was just another place for Yurdina’s enlisted soldiers.

they had a spare

The only one who couldn’t afford it was Seria.

She was furious, but she had to keep talking as much as possible.

“If I have any deficiencies, I will definitely take the time to listen to the advice later. But now, senior Ian’s life is at stake… … .”

“Sam has only one sister in his family.”

Alex’s words left Seria speechless.

‘Sam’ was a common name. Among the thousands of soldiers, there must have been several with that name.

Even so, Alex did not bother to refer to the affiliation separately.

As if he was the only ‘Sam’ with these circumstances.

“And the sister is lame. So Sam said he did everything he could from a young age… The reason I became a private in my family was because of my stable income.”

Seria’s blue eyes carefully observed Alex’s expression.

But no matter how you look at it, Alex wasn’t lying.

At least it was clear that he had a good understanding of the soldier named ‘Sam’.

That wasn’t the only story that flowed out of Alex’s mouth.

“Have you talked to Hanson? He said he had left only his elderly mother and pregnant wife at home. I worry about who will support them both when he dies.”

“Aina is a bit of an odd friend. He was a hunter in the coniferous forest, but lost his younger brother to an elf and applied for revenge. He said that if it wasn’t her, who would take revenge?”

“Rex is said to be the eldest of eight siblings. No matter how much I earned, it was not enough, so I ended up volunteering as a soldier. Without him, some of them might have to starve.”

Each of those nonchalant explanations made Seria perplexed.

Seria had also heard about the traditions of the north.

Northerners value their comrades.

It has long been customary for newly appointed commanders to memorize soldiers’ names.

However, this was the first time an article had known such a detailed story.

Perhaps Alex is a particularly unusual commander.

The unfortunate fact was that the person testing Seria now was also Alex.

Do you get recognition from him or not?

Accordingly, the weight of the orders Seria gave would vary greatly.

“As much as Confucius Ian, the soldiers standing here are also irreplaceable and precious to someone. If you are a commander in the north, you should understand the weight of it.”

The strong soldiers of the north are famous for attacking without sparing their lives.

This was thanks to the influence of the northern culture of ‘loyalty’.

And the relationship wasn’t always one-sided.

As much as the soldiers trust and trust their commander, the commander also chooses only battlefields worth giving their lives to.

It was not a test that Seria, who seemed impatient at first glance, could pass.

It didn’t matter though.

Yurdina was from a family of lions, and tests always came when she wanted to avoid them the most.

Seria was not unaware of this either.

Biting her lips for a while, Seria thought.

whatever?

Whether it’s Sam, Hanson, or Aina, what does it matter how many of those humans die?

Ian sunbaenim is over there right now!

Compared to senior Ian, Seria felt that even her own life was insignificant.

In the first place, Alex’s persuasion was not an opponent that could work.

Only Seria thought.

If you were Ian, how would you have acted in a situation like this?

As soon as she was in trouble, Seria’s brain immediately came up with an answer.

and the next moment.

With a bang, Alex’s body floated in the air.

Alex, on the horse, didn’t even think to respond.

There was no choice but to allow Seria’s pommel to hit right after kicking off the saddle.

Alex’s body fell to the ground after receiving an unexpected blow to the chest.

The amount of shock must have been beyond imagination, but Alex was cool with a puzzled expression.

A chilly anticipation approached Alex’s neck.

“… … Sir Alex, I am a Northerner too.”

It was a tone that was colder than the blade of a knife.

The shadows in Seria’s blue eyes had already been erased.

“I came here at the command of Yurdina’s legitimate successor, my sister, and that order included support for senior Ian in case of emergency.”

The eyes of the stunned knights turned to Seria.

The same was true of the soldiers who watched the situation as if they had something interesting to see.

It was hard to find anyone who didn’t open their eyes.

“Sir Alex, do you want a life? Or, do any of the soldiers Sir Alex call out want a life? If so, run away immediately.”

Silence prevailed.

Northerners value honor above all else.

It was the shame of shame to run away like a coward.

“If not, do you want to win?”

“… … miss.”

Chilling, Alex staggered to his feet.

In the process, he gripped Seria’s blade tightly with the gauntlet.

If Seria could only cause an aura, she could have severed that finger, but fortunately, no misfortune occurred.

“It’s a tough situation to win by anyone.”

“So?”

It was just one word.

In response to the question that was spat out while staring at Alex, Alex slammed his chest and slowly raised his head.

He had a bloody smile.

A chuckle of laughter escaped from his mouth.

“I mean, it’s a great battleground for honor… That’s great, lady. Yurdina should be like that. Strength over logic, honor over compassion!”

Alex immediately drew his sword.

Then the rest of the knights fired their swords one after another, and the soldiers responded by stamping their feet.

The sharp friction and thumping noises made my head dizzy.

“… … I will show you the skill that was called ‘Yurdina’s idiot’ in the past.”

Hearing the old knight’s boiling voice, Seria internally let out a sigh of relief.

Anyway, northerners… … .

Still, I was fortunate to be able to support Ian senior.

I completely forgot my appearance, which was more northern than anyone else.

One thousand enlisted soldiers rushed into the battlefield like a wave.

Corpses and chunks of flesh that were aiming for Ian began to spurt blood.

The puzzles of war were being put together one by one.

It was not long before Ian regained consciousness.

**

The storm and the electric charge strike randomly.

All the chunks of flesh and corpses that were approaching Ian had already been burned. After the arrival of the Yurdina family soldiers, there were no additional reinforcements.

The situation was overwhelmingly in favor of Ian.

If it weren’t for that ‘corpse giant’.

The corpse giant was a little taken aback by the sudden thunderstorm.

However, even for a while, the monster that had finished restoring the head was glaring at Ian.

Ian was still unconscious.

Elsie frantically drank potions and cast spells over and over again.

Every time that happened, the bloodstream pulsated like crazy.

It felt like my blood vessels were drying up, and the blood vessels in my eyes had already burst.

sick.

The blood vessels in the arms that guide magic power were torn and bruised. The bruises that increased in real time gave Elsie terrible pain every moment of her birth.

Several times the chant was interrupted because I couldn’t hold back my moaning.

Have you ever been sicker than this in your life?

Elsie asked herself with a drowsy mind.

When you fought alone with hounds in the distant past?

It hurt even then, but only for a short time. It was the first time he had suffered so willingly.

The whole body ached, and the lungs were squeezed roughly.

My eyes had been dry for a long time, so every time the lightning struck, I felt a stabbing pain.

Tears flowed.

I want to collapse right now, I want to run away crying.

Elsie persevered.

I left my family and chose my own destiny for the first time in my life.

If so, you should have conformed to that fate.

Even if the end is dog death.

But the corpse giant raised his fist high as if mocking Elsie.

If you hit that thing down, Ian was dead.

So Elsie laughed.

“… … Judgment of Light!”

A roar of thunder shook the battlefield.

Originally, it would be right to have a thunderbolt after a thunderbolt, but the sound of thunder was only a precursor to the ensuing magic.

As it crackled and thunder struck, the corpse giant’s head lifted itself.

A high charge was gathering over his head.

and the next moment.

His Highness’s spear was thrust down with an electric shock that shook the atmosphere.

Its power was incomparable to the anti-army magic that had been used so far.

The corpse giant trembled and convulsed for a moment.

Even so, I couldn’t feed the corpse giant an effective hit.

The only thing Elsie wanted was a chance to catch the attention of the corpse giant.

The corpse giant’s head slowly began to turn toward Elsie.

Elsie already didn’t have the strength to move.

Lying on the ground, Elsie giggled.

“You ugly bastard… Don’t you close your eyes?”

She touched the ground with her trembling arms.

To stand out even a little more.

“Hey, you coward! Leaving Elsie behind, who are you going to touch first? Because I, I will deal with you… … .”

So, don’t touch the master.

Elsie gasped and begged.

Her blue eyes were blurry.

However, the girl’s wish did not reach the family of the evil spirit.

The monster glared at Elsie for a moment, then lost interest.

Rather than her, he seemed to regard Ian as a more threatening enemy, even though he only managed to get one effective hit.

Elsie opened her eyes in bewilderment.

“Hey, hey… Hey, what are you doing! I’m here! There’s a man here, you son of a gun!!!”

The corpse giant raised his fist again.

And the moment he was about to point that huge chunk of flesh toward Ian.

Suddenly, geometric patterns began to be engraved in the sky.

It was the foreshadowing of a powerful great magic.

Before the corpse giant could react, chains of light shot down from each vertex of the magic circle drawn in the air.

It was a thunderbolt.

Attribute magic that is no different from the symbol of the Rainella family.

It bound the corpse giant like a rope. The corpse giant tried to escape somehow, but the chains of light did not budge.

Ooh oh oh oh-!

A roar of fury rang through the battlefield.

Elsie, who watched the scene from start to finish, was dazed.

That magic circle, I’ve seen it before.

It was not a miracle that a singular wizard could create.

It was a great magic that only the Magic Corps that went through systematic training could achieve.

It was the sound of the potion bottle rolling on the ground that awakened Elsie’s spirit.

A pill bottle rolled over and stopped right next to Elsie.

The bottle was engraved with the pattern of two laurel trees intersecting.

Elsie’s eyes blankly turned to her back.

There was a very familiar figure standing there.

“… … Drink.”

It was Reynolds.
