Chapter 48 – Meanwhile, the Warrior Party
A royal knight who faced the defense line of the Dark Forest.
Hansen Drake sighed deeply.
Needless to say, the reason was that it was a warrior party that came to support us this time.
Originally, a hero would be welcomed as a being with overwhelming force, but…
‘Isn’t there a magician Hyunwoo Lee?’
Lee Hyun-woo is the core force of the current warrior party.
To put it bluntly, the person more important than Hero himself is Hyunwoo.
Even the sword-wielding knights trusted Hyunwoo more than Leon, the owner of the holy sword.
‘Well, if there is that much of a difference in skill and reputation, it can’t be helped.’
His skill and strength were such that even knights who secretly looked down on wizards acknowledged them.
How many people would be able to defeat Hyunwoo just by using swordsmanship?
If he could even strengthen his body with magic, it would be fine.
I remember being impressed by Han Sen’s swordsmanship and attitude toward the sword.
His efforts are such that I respect him not only as a knight, but as a human being.
The warrior party that expelled Lee Hyun-woo.
This cannot be viewed favorably not only by Hansen but also by the knights.
‘Is the hero sane?’
In order to maintain morale, the royal family is keeping the news of Hyunwoo’s expulsion a secret.
This was kept fairly well, and only the knight commanders and some nobles knew about it.
First of all, I told the other soldiers that Hyunwoo was in charge of another important mission.
I don’t know how long this temporary measure will last.
‘Whew, if I think about it like this, I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.’
Han Sen, who was seriously considering the possibility that the hero had joined hands with the demons behind the scenes, shook his head.
In any case, Leon was a hero chosen by the God of Heroes.
Until he loses that title, he needs to be treated like a warrior on the outside.
“Captain, the hero has arrived.”
“Okay, tell them to come in.”
When the warrior came in, the women followed him.
With Hyunwoo missing, all members except the warrior are made up of women.
There were whispers behind the scenes that it was a warrior’s harem, and there were many war stories that said that was actually the case.
Looking at it like this, it is clear that they are all beautiful women.
Beauty doesn’t kill monsters, so it wasn’t a matter of interest to Han Sen.
“Hmm?”
Han Sen, who was examining them, made a strange expression.
There were only three people who came in, including the warrior.
Even if Hyunwoo is missing, isn’t there only four people in the hero’s party?
Apparently there were elves.
“There’s one person…I can’t see you. What’s going on?”
“Ah, the road here is a bit rough, so I’m taking some time to recuperate.”
Han Sen closed his eyes tightly.
Does it make sense that the hero party fighting the demons lay down because the road to get there was difficult?
If you’ve always heard rumors about the hero, it wasn’t difficult to think about what happened that night.
‘Ah, I want to hit him.’
I understand that these men and women in their prime are full of strength.
But isn’t there such a thing as fidelity?
Even mercenaries rolling around on the roadside are well prepared before war.
But the hero party member was so exhausted from having sex that he couldn’t even come to the strategy meeting?
Should I listen to this now?
If it had been my subordinate, I would have thrown it out on the spot.
The lieutenants who tried to stop me will probably beat me up after hearing my explanation.
‘Whew, let’s hold on.’
Still, the opponent is a hero.
He is the only warrior in the world chosen by the goddess.
I don’t know why you made that choice, but you are a hero anyway.
“Hmm! Hmm! “Then, I will explain the outline of the current operation.”
Anyway, this is someone I will have to work with face-to-face for a while.
He didn’t even think anyone would listen even if he said it.
Well, if that was my subordinate, I would have done the damn thing anyway.
Isn’t this the person who will end up here anyway?
The mindset was to just do what needs to be done.
“As you know, the Dark Forest is a major stronghold for the demons. Basically, because there is demon energy, the magic on the demon side becomes stronger.”
It goes without saying that wizards are strong in attacks, but it is on Mercury that they demonstrate their real power.
This is because there is no way for an ordinary knight to break through a wizard who uses magic while keeping his defenses strong.
A similar wizard is needed to break through this.
“If it’s Magi, Claire here will be able to solve it.”
Saint Claire next to her smiled brightly.
Hansen nodded his head for now, but it wasn’t a very positive response.
“It is impossible for an individual to purify all the magical energy of the Dark Forest by himself. Of course, it will help you get through the first part.”
“Are you belittling the saint’s power? Joy! “That pout!”
“…I’m just talking about realistic things. Besides, wouldn’t the warrior be in trouble if there was no saint to heal him during the fight against the demons?”
“Hmm! Hmm! That’s right. I will definitely be by your side! “Because I need it.”
Han Sen, who passed the conversation with an awkward smile, continued his explanation.
“To put it bluntly, it is currently impossible to conquer the Dark Forest without a wizard. So I want to hold on while maintaining the front line. Since there are warriors here, we can minimize the damage to the soldiers.”
“Yes? “So you’re saying you’re just going to leave the dark forest alone?”
“If we go in now, the damage will only increase. “I have requested a wizard from the Magic Tower, so it is best to hold out until then.”
In fact, that was the reason why the attack was delayed.
Even though the hero party was expected to come, the hero party expelled the wizard and made a delay.
When Magic Tower heard that, he got angry and cut off support twice.
As a result, useless time was wasted and the attack became more difficult.
‘Actually, the problem is that we don’t know when the negotiations with the Magic Tower will end.’
With Hyunwoo’s banishment, the Magic Tower has grown stronger.
It means you’re mad.
They declared a boycott of the wizard’s dispatch to the royal family.
Wizards are essential and hard-to-find talents.
The means to secure it reliably have been cut off.
‘…Well, I can understand the feelings of the magic tower lord.’
The problem is that even those fighting on the front lines understand that.
Comparing it to the Knights, they assigned a sword master with a promising future to the Magic Tower, but they expelled them and even went missing.
However, the fireball does not fly from behind.
Just from that alone, I felt like I knew how hard the princess was working.
“Why on earth do we have to wait for the wizard?”
Do you know about that situation or not?
The warrior said, frowning his eyes.
“Didn’t we come? “I just need to force it through.”
It would have been a natural question for a warrior.
In the meantime, even if a warrior party came, there would never have been a time when they waited for the wizard’s support.
In fact, that was originally the role of the warrior party.
They were a kind of special forces for strategy.
Han Sen finally said what he had been holding back.
“There is no wizard in the hero’s party right now.”
For a moment, the warrior’s shoulders flinched.
I heard Han Sen mutter, ‘Is it him again…’, But he tried to ignore it.
“It’s true that our knights don’t have wizards either. A wizard is essential for this strategy. So we have no choice but to wait for help to arrive.”
Hansen’s words were used to persuade the warrior, but also to blame him.
It meant that things got to this point because you expelled Hyunwoo.
Han Sen was also a human being after all, so it would be a lie if he said he had no feelings of resentment towards the hero.
But unfortunately, this hero was a person who lacked the common sense and conscience to think such things.
“There is no need to do that. “We don’t have time.”
“Yes?”
“If we are not demon lords and are at the level of executives, we are enough. In fact, we even caught an executive. But there is even a knighthood here. “It’s more than enough power.”
…That must have been because there was a wizard Lee Hyeon-woo at that time.
Han Sen praised himself for holding back after speaking.
“Let us break through the forest and attack the executive called the wizard. “Even if you call them wizards, aren’t they the ones who can’t do anything if you get close to them and swing a sword?”
Hansen saw many young people while running the Order.
That’s why he was able to read from the warrior now.
The pride and vanity typical of children.
‘…I’m going to turn away.’
The strategy that the hero came up with as soon as he arrived was to just kill him in a team fight.
If that’s the case, why go through all this trouble?
Even with thorough strategy and preparation, the magician’s winning rate was not high.
Even if successful, it was obvious how large a loss of power would occur.
“Sir, that is too dangerous. Let’s wait a moment. Good news will come from the Magic Tower soon.”
“Honestly, I don’t like that magic tower either. I can’t believe you’re fighting a battle of pride in this dangerous situation. They have no chivalry.”
It’s all because of you, you bastard.
Han Sen endured these words.
It could truly be said to be an amazing patience tempered by time.
“If you are feeling uneasy, just provide support from the rear. “I will personally bring the head of the Demon Lord’s wizard.”
Han Sen sighed deeply.
It looks like he doesn’t plan on listening.
In fact, there was no reason to stop it.
This is because the warrior party had the right to independent action without having to follow any orders from the military.
This could be said to be a case where special authority created for previous warriors became poisonous.
‘My ancestor. Please watch over us.’
Hans lamented and muttered to himself.
The reason I couldn’t pray to God was because I was resentful of the person who had chosen this guy as a hero.
