Running Away From The Hero!

There was a forerunner.

Since Astor started training, Leah has also spent more time training.

Leah, my escort, left me alone and focused on the battle against Ast.

What did Ast do?

What does Leah look like... or does she train so hard because she cheated?

I could tell if I wanted to, but I endured it again for later enjoyment.

But I couldn't stand it now. I could have said something like that.

“What's going on here? ”

I had no choice but to watch Ast and Leah's battle.

“Die!”

“Oh, my God! ”

You can see Ast's soldiers rushing like a storm.

Leah's minions have also defended themselves with skillful advancements, but their basic abilities begin to be pushed back, as Ast's soldiers become stronger.

“What is it?”

I tilt my head.

I knew Ast's soldiers were fundamentally stronger. Ast's soldiers were the only ones with the best talent in the whole army.

But a soldier is a soldier.

It was not a tactical value for a single army alone.

No matter how strong they are, the soldiers who act freely without taking orders are nothing but chaos.

And all of Ast's soldiers were misfits.

Individuals who can't die because of their circumstances.

Those who realize that you have to kill your opponent and bleed out to be alive.

These are usually disconnected.

The battlefield is hard to survive even if you struggle to survive. How often do fireflies run to die?

But they survived.

Once, twice…. It's been a year and a decade since I survived.

The chances of surviving are miraculous.

Some people realized Mana for themselves and became knight-class.

That's why I thought Leah and Ast's battle would be a good thing to watch.

I really excelled at individual skills.

Soldiers who do not listen to the commander's orders and those who are not as good as the former, but guard the commander's orders as life.

What happens if they stick together?

“I wanted that.... ”

The scene in front of him was a battle for a perfectly dominated force.

Change their formation as they move along with the command of each commander.

A blunt spear strikes, and the wounded and the condemned are spreading.

Yes, a spear. Ast's soldiers were also using spears!

Ordinary soldiers are commonly used weapons, but most of the soldiers of Ast didn't use spears.

Individually battled with their favorite bottle or items from the battlefield.

Unified weapons play an important role in war.

Each weapon has a role to play and the force with it has a role to play.

No matter how stupid the commander is, he doesn't tell us to stop the cavalry with an infantry with a sword.

As if you did not order the archers to stop the archers' arrows with only the Lancers who are not holding their shields.

Soldiers were ideal for carrying their own weapons and moving according to their roles.

But the soldiers of Ast were not like that.

That's why they were called the Five Musketeers, and even if it was my request, the commanders sent soldiers who could be called skilled during the war.

“What have you done.... ”

I heard there are commanders who have tried to heal their wounds.

I heard there was also a commander who tried to appease them.

Some of the strict commanders have threatened them by referring to the execution.

Yet they do not surrender.

Such soldiers lay down their lives at the behest of Ast.

“March!”

The soldier next to you wags the flag as Ast raises his wooden staff.

But do you think it's because of your feelings?

The soldiers feel like they're looking at a stick in Ast's hand, not a flag.

“My death to Caran! ”

“To Caran! ”

Soldiers known to have no sense of patriotism charge in the name of the empire.

Their charge, which had crossed many lines, was different, even compared to skilled elites.

“Hehe!”

Leah lets out a groan at the detained troops, even though she has prepared a defensive formation in advance.

After a slight bite, she gives you an assault order in response, but her skill difference is too great.

Leah's soldiers were obviously skilled soldiers.

Basically, they were top-notch soldiers, and they were thought to have been brutally trained by Leah.

The Princess of the Sword trained all over the Empire with recognized soldiers and such.

Compared to all Imperial troops, there was definitely an elite unit that would never be pushed back.

Still, at least five casualties have emerged to defeat one of Ast's forces.

This is the only training, so there are special rules that will result in this. If it were real, Ast would have won with a bigger difference.

“I lost……. ”

Realizing that, Leah admitted her defeat.

I felt really angry as I shook my hand biting my lip a little.

“Rest.”

The moment I put down the stick I was holding, the soldiers of Ast begin to lie down.

“I was a little surprised. ”

Ast smiles at Leah, who has not even spoken a word of encouragement.

“Are you mocking me? ”

Unlike usual, Leah said with a puffy expression. I felt really angry.

“No, I'm a little surprised that you're stronger than I expected. ”

“ ……. ”

I don't know if it was meant to be, but Leah's expression became more firm.

I thought we saw each other's first troops.

Leah's soldiers, a skilled elite force, and Ast's soldiers, a complete mess.

Nevertheless, it was stronger than expected that Ast would win more easily.

“What the hell……. ”

“What have you done? ”

Cut Leah's words out and ask Ast.

“Your Majesty……. ”

Leah looks frustrated, but grabs her hand a little and it goes away. It seemed a little excited, unlike Leah.

That must mean you have that kind of pride.

“I just beat him. ”

Do they not know Leah's condition, or are they just pretending not to see her?

“Is that all? ”

Leah answered hollow as she thought it was nothing.

“That's right.”

You stare at Ast, who nods.

I wouldn't need so many commanders banging my head if I could.

“How did you hit him? ”

Leah seemed curious, too.

“You just have to hit it with this. ”

Ast pulls out his wooden stick again and says,

“With that?”

“That's right.”

Leah stares blankly at Ast, nodding her head.

It was just a simple wooden stick.

A wooden stick that seems well-processed, but not that thick. It seemed like it wouldn't hurt more than a flogging stick.

“That's it? ”

Leah seemed to have the same idea.

“Would you like to take a shot? ”

“Yes?”

Leah looks like she doesn't understand, and Ast raises his wooden pole.

“You're gonna hit me?”

“Yes.”

Leah looks embarrassed, but soon nods.

“Go ahead. ”

A Leado knight.

I've been called the greatest genius in the empire, but I've done more than that.

Leah, who endured so much pain to become a knight, could not have fallen on just a stick of wood.

“Ugh!”

“Huh?"

I fell to the ground as soon as I said.

“What the heck! ”

After being hit by one, Leah falls to the ground after being hit by two. And the moment I got hit by three generations, I started crying.

“Leah?"

I stare down dazed.

“As expected, Lord Leah. Soldiers stretched out three ways. ”

Ast looks at Leah with satisfaction and raises the stick.

“Ha! Sir Ast! I think that's enough now... Shhh! ”

Ast slaps Leah mercilessly, with his pronunciation.

“Shhh! Shhh? Huh?”

“As expected, Lord Leah! Brilliant!”

“S-stop……. ”

I turned my gaze behind my back on that miserable look.

“What the hell, that's.... ”

“A falcon of love made from the last wooden stick I received. ”

On the floor, "Stop! Khh!" Leah's yelling seems to have nothing to do with love...

“Ast, don't you think it would be a good idea to end there? ”

I didn't want to see Leah's miserable face anymore.

“Is that so?”

Leah closes her eyes, watching the astronaut put the stick back in.

“Leah, she's dead...? ”

“Don't die, don't die. I couldn't have done such a horrible thing, could I? ”

“I'd rather kill you if I saw that look. ”

I was just sad to see him so miserable that I couldn't explain.

“I'm a non-murderer. ”

It looks like someone else is going to die socially....

“What the hell did you make from the tree branches of the world...? ”

The goddess who saved the world made a weaponable mourn.

“The hawk of love. As a teacher, I tried to help my opponent realize my pain without getting hurt. ”

“What should I try to do? The sorcerer's drooling. ”

But I understood.

If Leah had a weapon like that, she would have had enough control over the soldiers.

There is no guarantee that you will be able to listen to him like that even if you hand him over to another commander, but Ast alone has created the best troops.

“Another triumph. ”

The situation on the continent is complicated.

For a small kingdom, there was a warring nation, and the great kingdoms began to shake quite a bit.

Eventually, even the heavy-ass empire starts to move slowly.

As the Karean Empire moves, so does the Fernez Empire.

There are only two countries that can use the name Empire on a large continent.

The moment the Karean Empire and the Fernez Empire face each other, the entire continent will be a battlefield.

In a situation like this, it's hard to say, but wouldn't a military-aided astronaut go to the military, write a new history of the empire, and become a great man?

“No way...? ”

Well, if Astra hates her legacy so much, it might be better to stay under me.

“I'm afraid I won't be promoted. The Earl is that hard. ”

It may be a waste of unexpected talents in the military, but in the end, Astor will not be involved in the war.

I will never leave the Empire.

If I am in the Imperial Court, Ast must remain in the Imperial Court.

I'm not good enough to let go of what's in my hands.

So I wanted to continue to enjoy these crazy situations.

“I'm sorry.”

“No, I'm not.”

“I'm so sorry. ”

The emperor repeated his words of apology with his head bowed down to me... Seeing my father's appearance, the day seemed to have ended, too.

# 41 Their Reason: A Villain's Reason

I can walk lightly.I feel so good.

“How should I bully Lord Leah? ”

The moment I thought about it, I could even feel the thrill.

I haven't had much fun since Lord Leah's boyfriend's death, but it's been a while.

Apparently, the winner of this battle can punish the loser.

Even Lord Leah cannot refuse your words.

How painful it has been!

I can't believe I lost all the fun to tease Lord Leah in this barren Imperial life!

I felt like I'd lost my oasis in the desert.

So I decided to visit the king at home to enjoy the pleasure of this long journey.

Perhaps our king is looking forward to it. I should...

“Huh?"

There are no soldiers, no maids.

Thinking about it, I didn't seem to have met anyone walking around the hallway.

“What is it?”

I'm pretty sure he got jacked after he fooled me. Who else fooled him into retreating?

“That's not going to happen. ”

I have heard that all the maidens and soldiers who serve you have robbed their souls before their eyes.

The thieves, as well as those who alternate with them, would have been thoroughly instructed not to vacate your gates.

“Do humans always repeat the same mistake? ”

Knock on the door a few times. Tell them I'm here.

But there is no response.

“Could it be a trap? ”

That damn charge might have anticipated me coming and set enough traps.

“We're going in. ”

Normally, a paladin's room would have nothing to say if he was executed as soon as he entered it without permission, but the opposing team relays.

Well, I wouldn't kill you if I were you.

“I'll go in.”

Slightly open the visit and enter.

It's dark. It's terribly dark.

It's too dark at night.

“The royal chambers, indeed. ”

I think I can make it as dark as night even during the day.

“Ugh... ”

Suddenly, I heard a groan.

“Your Grace?"

This is a fantasy world where ghosts can be killed even if they are frightened for a moment.

So that voice is the voice of the king, the master of the room.

“Ah... st? ”

As if it were true, the king called out my name as he gained it.

“Your Majesty, you don't need to summon me as you go. ”

Answer as usual.

The moment I realized that I was a little scared, I became ridiculed.

I must mock Lord Leah, but I cannot be mocked!

... when I think about it.

“Okay, Ast. ”

“Your Grace?"

Something was not as usual, and he said in a high-pitched voice.

“Come with me. ”

To where?
