The Time Stop Breeding Uncle Wants To Retire

25 – Welcome to our family-like Knights! (2)

After crossing the tower guarding the entrance, the first thing I saw was a drawbridge and a moat full of water beneath it. The outer wall standing high in the sky surrounded the inner castle with the castle tower.

There was a wall that was firmly built through the gap. Although it was a very grand fortress, it was far from glamorous. This is Lionheart Fortress, where the Royal Knights were stationed.

No wonder I came to Lionheart Fortress. How did I even come here? As I was watching with a bitter heart, I heard a loud voice from behind.

“If you don’t go first, I’ll go first! Captain!”

“Yeah, I’ll go in… no way…”

“Let’s go! Let’s go inside quickly!”

The owners of the voice were the elf Clara and the dwarf girl Ruby. For two months, while riding in a carriage, we exchanged simple stories, including Tongseongmyeong.

Clara ran towards the drawbridge first. Conversely, Ruby slowly pushed my back as I hesitated outside. However, naturally, a girl intervened in the gap.

His hair, which at first was so short that he was mistaken for a boy, reached his back before he knew it. Thanks to washing off the dirty grime, her white and fair skin was showing off her beauty.

The girl was wearing clothes similar to those of knights’ squire. It was a garment that was easy to move, but far from glamorous. The girl’s mouth is smiling, but at the same time slightly stiff.

“I will personally serve the teacher.”

“Then I’m begging you!”

“Yes, leave it to me.”

That girl was Helya. Half a year after meeting me, Helya officially became my squire. Naturally, I was not interested in the exploitation of minors, so I tried to refuse it.

[Teacher, is there anything I lack?]

[Rather, it is excessive.]

[Oh, I see. You must have hated me.]

[There’s no way you don’t like it.]

[Then why?]

[Yeah, you’re so… … .]

[why? why? why?]

[uh… … .]

[why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why?]

Because Helya’s will was too stubborn. There was no choice but to accept it as a seed. Never was I pushed by Helya’s momentum. It’s not because I’m scared.

I rolled my eyes and looked at Helya. What’s so good about Helya, who clings to me like glutinous rice cake? He was laughing hysterically. he’s such a cute kid

What I saw before, what I saw wrong… … wouldn’t it?

It feels like I touched a beehive. I’ll try to slowly solve this problem later. Now we have to turn off the fire. Because we have to rebuild the Royal Knights somehow.

The current Royal Knights barely maintain their lives.

In fact, he had lost all of his prestige.

Even the inauguration ceremony for the leader, originally had to be held at the tribal union meeting. The other races in the Alliance refused for one reason or another. Thanks, I had to keep it simple.

Just by looking at this, you can see how much the name of the Royal Knights has fallen to the ground. Of course I like this better. If it wasn’t for that, we would still be staying in the castle.

At that time, the elf who was walking ahead suddenly turned his back. Her silver hair slowly followed her spinning body. Clara smiled and spread her hands.

“Captain! And Helya! We warmly welcome you to our home, Lionheart!”

“That’s what the captain and Helya have already heard and know.”

“But we still have to say hello! It’s our first time here!”

Watching them start bickering again, I shook my head. As we rode the wagon all the way here, we talked briefly, including Tong Seong-myeong.

The elf’s name was Clara, although she proudly said that she was 180 years old. At that level, he was very young for an elf. In terms of human age, it’s about 17 to 19 years old.

And Ruby, who often fights with Clara, is also 18 years old. From the outside, it just looks like a new chick. Still, they are talents who officially joined the Royal Knights.

“But why can’t I see a single person?”

Lionheart was both a fortress and a huge castle. It was also a house at the same time. Of course, a manager who manages such a large castle was also needed. At my words, Clara smiled bitterly.

“That’s… everyone quit.”

“You said you quit?”

“Yes, half of them. And the other half were taken away by their respective tribes or countries.”

I’ll go back, really. I heard it in words, but I felt it again with my skin. The fact that the relationship between the coalition is starting to crack. Well, that’s why it was so f*cked up in the original.

It is likely that they will come out conservatively to protect their territory rather than cooperate with each other for the time being. Because the current Royal Knights were toothless tigers.

Still, it’s better than the original. It was a small number, but at least three knights belonging to the Royal Knights survived. Thanks to that, somehow the name of the Royal Knights was maintained.

In addition, Lionheart Fortress was in a better situation than the original. Even though it was full of dust from not taking care of it for months. The Lionheart Fortress in the original work was completely ruined.

In fact, in the game, you can recapture Lionheart Fortress that was occupied by monsters in the middle. At this time, the protagonist’s reaction after recapturing Lionheart Fortress is a masterpiece.

[Is that a fortress? Not a ruin?]

[Yes, this is where the Royal Knights were stationed in the past.]

[There is only one castle left?]

[What’s left is completely destroyed by the monsters. Maybe that’s why he hated the Royal Knights that much.]

In the original work, Lionheart Fortress literally had only one outer wall left. Even that, in the original description, was used in the form of mocking demons wrapping excrement there.

And restoring it is, of course, up to the player. Not only stone and wood, but also the money that goes into various manpower. I had to get everything myself and build the castle myself.

“First of all, I’ll have to contact the kingdom to replenish the manpower.”

“Because there is a forest where elves live nearby. I’ll go and ask for it myself.”

“…”

In an instant, my PTSD almost exploded. Are you going to ask the service kamps for help? To those who give a damn if they touch even one tree? However, I shook my head. Is it time to pee?

All that is available should be used once. Anyway, while Helya and I were directly guided by them, we did a rough survey of what we needed right now.

Lionheart Fortress was a much larger and grander fortress than I had imagined. At least, rather than the Lionheart restored from the original. And we are all gathered in the restaurant now.

“As you may already know, let me formally greet you again. I am Hans, who will be the general manager of the Royal Knights.”

I really worried a lot. Will I be able to serve as the general manager of the Royal Knights? I thought about it countless times, and each time, the ending is always the same. I am also not the leader’s vessel.

I didn’t have the level of transcendental strength of the Royal Knights, but I didn’t have the strategic intelligence either. In the first place, I’m just a time stop breeder. what more do you want

“The problem we are facing right now is the reconstruction of the Royal Knights.

“Of course.”

“We will do our best to help.”

“If the teacher wants it.”

“In that sense… as soon as the manpower requested by the kingdom is dispatched here, we are going to retrieve the Royal Knights who have deserted.”

The three surviving Royal Knights, and one of them quit the Royal Knights and fled. But unfortunately, each of us is in a very precious situation.

So, catch the escaped guy and use it again. Punished by law for deserting? That should be enough too. In a situation where even dog poop is precious like now, it is inevitable.

Especially since it’s not just a regular soldier. Especially if you are a mid-level talent of the Royal Knights. Clara said that the guy who escaped this time was one of the key members of the Royal Knights.

“But Captain, is that really the right thing to do?”

“what?”

“Honestly, it makes sense. Not a single person could be protected, and all died in front of my eyes.”

“…”

“So it’s not unreasonable to run away.”

I had no idea that such a skeptical reaction would return. Now that you’ve experienced hell yourself, are you reluctant because you feel like you’re being dragged into hell again? But I couldn’t give up either.

“Because it is.”

“What does that mean?”

“I’ll ask the opposite. Why didn’t you guys run away?”

“Yeah…”

“……I don’t know.”

“It’s simple. It’s because you guys supported each other.”

It’s ironic. Elves and dwarves, who have the deepest ties between races, support each other. That must mean it was hell. And here comes this logic.

“But, what about him now?”

“That’s right, sister is now alone.”

“We are the only ones who have experienced that hell.”

“Yes, and it will break down little by little over time.”

Of course it’s bullsh*t. How do I know if he won’t break down? But either way, the answer is there. If it’s collapsing, I’ll try to convince them by talking about it somehow.

if it hadn’t collapsed.

Then get down on your knees and pray.

If that doesn’t work, I hold on to the crotch of my pants and hang down. Ugly? f*ck you! Is it time to f*ck up and cover up? In this situation where you don’t know when the demons will attack right away?!

There is something I thought about when I was inaugurated as the general manager. Somehow I ended up as the captain of the Royal Knights. I have no intention of continuing to do this for years. because my skills are lacking.

Too much is just not enough. If I covet a seat that is beyond my means, one day the limit will come. In that case, the situation could have been much worse than it is now.

However, there is something to be said. I couldn’t say I quit. The best thing is to kick me out of the Royal Knights directly, even if I don’t have to quit… … .

However, in this situation where the Royal Knights are ruined, it is impossible to be determined and troll. So, I thought Let’s do our best for a year, but let’s slowly lay the groundwork.

[Are we strangers? family! family!]

[I’m fine. I’m fine, but what will your seniors think when they see it?]

[Isn’t this supposed to be done by an adjunct shooter?]

There is such a person. He’s not incompetent, but he’s kind of intrusive and annoying. If it were a boss, I would be thrilled. But what if that boss suddenly quits the company one day?

Who would really stop that?

It is the same now. It was even said that the deserted knight was a mid-tier and a key member. What if that core member couldn’t stand it and asked me to resign? So what if I get kicked out?

“As long as we are in the same boat, we are a family. How can a family ignore the pain of a family?!”

But right now, mental care comes first. First of all, somehow catch the deserter and make him a mental support. And after that, you just have to behave subtly intrusive and embarrassing.

Of course, if the intrusive is too severe, he can hit you first. You have to keep the line in moderation. With a ‘subtle’ intrusive feeling, I know what that feeling is. I knew it so well that I hated it.

In one word.

I will be good.

I’ll show you what a family-like Knights are.
