Chapter 946 – 946. Continental Congress (5)
The garrison commander looked up at the sky blankly.
Even above the castle gate, hundreds of blue flames floating high in the air filled the field of vision.
It reminded me of vivid starlight embroidered on the sky, but it was closer and more intense heat enveloped my entire body.
[Beat the soldiers right now.]
“…”
“Wow, boss! A voice from somewhere… !”
“Uh, uh… ?”
The garrison commander, who had been looking up at the sky in a daze, came to his senses belatedly when his subordinate called him.
It was then that I recognized the voice of someone I had never heard before.
“Da, you…” .”
[The situation is urgent. Hurry and make the soldiers retreat. Because it will fall soon.]
There was no need to ask what was falling.
They were blue flames that were still showing off their presence by emitting intense heat.
So, are these fireworks magic created by the man who is the owner of the voice coming from somewhere?
But those doubts quickly disappeared.
This is because other questions immediately filled the garrison commander’s mind.
“You are…”
It was a voice that evoked a strange sense of déjà vu, a voice I had heard somewhere before.
A voice he had definitely heard 20 years ago, when he was a rookie soldier who knew nothing.
“No. “No!”
The garrison commander, who had been lost in thought for a brief moment, hurriedly shook his head left and right to wake him up.
There is no point in worrying about who created the blue flames that covered the sky or who the unidentified familiar voice that spoke to you belonged to.
What the garrison commander should do now is to take his advice and make the soldiers retreat.
“Retreat! Retreat!”
The soldiers who heard the command of the garrison commander quickly blew their horns to signal a retreat.
Weeeee!
As soon as they heard the sound of the horn resounding in the cruel battlefield where many soldiers’ lives were lost, the soldiers suddenly started running towards the castle gate.
They also wanted to get away from this battlefield so much that their immediate reaction speed as soon as the horn sounded was extraordinary.
It also meant that I was desperate and wanted to live.
As the soldiers widened the distance between them and the undead and demonic beasts that were fighting, the blue flames floating in the sky began to move in unison.
“Erin. “Start.”
Eunhyeon, who was assessing the distance between the soldiers, undead, and demonic beasts from afar, finally gave an order to Erin.
“Great! “Go!”
Erin’s hands, which were stretched straight up, lowered them with all their might towards the large army of undead and demonic beasts in front, as if waiting.
The fox fires that were floating in the sky and fixing their positions fell all at once.
The moment when hundreds of fox fires falling down, like a heavy monsoon rain, hit the undead and demonic beasts.
Wow!
The wild screams of the undead who disappear into ashes without being able to utter even a single scream, and the wild screams of the demonic beasts that burn while complaining of the pain of their entire bodies being burned.
The situation changed in an instant.
The exact opposite situation occurred where the battlefield, which was filled with people’s screams, suddenly became filled with the screams of demonic beasts.
The retreating soldiers watched in a daze from the castle gate as the war situation ironically turned upside down.
“What is this…?” .”
Sea of fire.
That was the only expression that came to mind.
The forests that had been torn apart and uprooted and lost their vitality as the undead and demonic beasts passed by, and the vast plains that were pushing in on an endless scale, were filled with blue flames that fell from the sky.
I couldn’t help but stare in fascination.
“Miracle…”
“It’s a miracle…”
“A miracle has occurred!”
There was no other way to express it that way.
The hopeless situation that had become increasingly severe as many people were dying suddenly began to fill with a light of hope.
The soldiers cheered.
They cheered wildly, as if trying to erase and wash away the hopeless emotions and memories from before.
The 7th day before the border defense, a fierce battle with undead and demonic beasts.
The soldiers on the border experienced hope for the first time.
“Where, where…” ?”
The garrison commander urgently looked around.
In order to find the location of the man who spoke to him through some kind of means and who probably caused this miracle, he looked around the castle walls and searched for traces of the person.
◆ ◆ ◆
As soon as she finished the extensive magic that covered the entire battlefield, Erin sighed heavily and stumbled.
“Huh…”
On top of the castle wall, Eunhyeon supported Erin’s body from behind as she was about to sit down on the floor, as if her legs had lost strength.
Erin, who was sweating coldly, had a look of fatigue on her face.
“Are you okay?”
“Hehe, it’s okay. “I’m just a little tired.”
A magic spell was performed that covered a wide area with a radius of over 1km.
There was no way it was okay.
In fact, since she had poured all of her magic and mental power into her body, the pressure of helplessness and helplessness that came over her later was no joke.
Nevertheless, Erin smiled brightly and hugged Eunhyeon, who was supporting her.
“Hug me.”
“Are you hugging me?”
“Harder! “With lots of love!”
Eunhyun smiled slightly and lifted Erin up in her arms.
“Oh! Hi-Hi. Good. Very good!”
I was quite satisfied with Eunhyeon’s attitude of treating me with the utmost respect as if I were a princess.
Eventually, Erin looked up at the face of Eunhyun, who was holding her, and she asked.
“How was it? “I was amazing!”
It was like a puppy begging for praise.
As if to represent her emotions, the fox ears that appeared when she transformed into the nine-tailed fox state pricked up and her nine tails shook violently.
“Huh. “It was truly amazing.”
It was simple and concise, but it was Eunhyun’s unadorned sincerity.
It was surprising when she suddenly stepped forward to show off her performance, but when she saw the sight Erin had created of her, Eunhyun was truly impressed.
The level of magic she displayed was not at a level where it could be said that she had grown tremendously.
It must be said that she was able to use the Nine-Tailed Fox’s magic perfectly.
“It’s really amazing. “Our Erin.”
Smiling and pressing her lips to her cheek, Erin pulled Eunhyun in with a smile flowing from the corner of her relaxed mouth.
“Aaaaah! Okay! More! “Praise me more!”
Although her body was extremely tired and drowsy, she felt so good that she was hugged by Eunhyeon and stamped her feet in the air.
“Huh… But Hyuna. I’m so sleepy right now…”
Eventually, Erin’s mental fatigue must have reached its limit as she yawned and her eyes began to close.
It was a magic trick performed with all the concentration and magic power, so it was worth it.
“Great job. “I’ll do the next one.”
“Yes. Hyuna…”
“Huh?”
“When I wake up, I want to eat the hot dog that Hyun-i made. “With lots of sausage and meat.”
Eunhyeon chuckled and listened to Erin’s request.
“Okay. I’ll prepare it. “I’m resting.”
“Hi-Hi. Okay.”
Erin, who laughed heartily, fell into sleep with a cheerful expression.
It wasn’t long before she sat still, leaning against the castle wall, holding Erin in her arms.
“Omg! Omg! “Huh!”
A soldier who was running around on the castle wall found Eunhyeon and Erin and quickly ran over.
The man, who kept running while breathing heavily, looked at Eunhyeon and made a strange expression.
“Da, you…” .”
Eunhyeon lifted her body from the floor of the castle wall, holding Erin, whom she held dearly, in her arms.
He slowly approached the middle-aged soldier who was looking at him with a surprised expression.
As the distance got closer, the middle-aged soldier’s expression increasingly expressed his disbelief.
Eunhyeon left behind the expression of the middle-aged soldier and spoke to him.
“Are you in charge of guarding this gate?”
“Yes? Ah, yes! That’s right!”
“First of all, I apologize for unintentionally interfering with command. “The situation was so urgent that I had no choice but to do it.”
“Oh, no. Rather, from our side…”
The garrison commander waved his hand and declined Eunhyeon’s apology.
Rather than apologizing, isn’t it the garrison commander who should be expressing gratitude?
With just his intervention, the battle situation, which had reached its limit and was certain to be defeated, was instantly overturned.
Does he know how many lives were able to survive without being overrun by undead and demonic beasts because of that?
“I think there is some misunderstanding.”
“… Is it a misunderstanding?”
“I didn’t do those fireworks that covered the sky earlier.”
“… Yes?”
Eunhyeon smiled bitterly and corrected the reason for the respectful gaze the garrison commander was giving her.
“My wife did it.”
“…”
The garrison leader moved his gaze towards the delicate woman that Eunhyeon was holding dearly in his arms.
Seeing her breathing lightly in his arms, the garrison commander had a blank expression for a moment.
Beautiful.
It’s very attractive.
So much so that if I keep looking at her, I want to inadvertently extend my hand to her.
Even if she is someone’s wife.
Wife? What is a wife?
Does that matter?
If only I could embrace her…
A strange feeling that forcibly arouses even the desire for conquest that did not exist in one’s heart.
This is the stage that all men go through when they see Erin for the first time and are captivated by the pheromones she inadvertently releases.
However, the garrison commander had no choice but to come to his senses belatedly.
“Well, then… That woman… She reduced so many undead and magical beasts to ashes… ?”
“Yes.”
“Well, I see…”
The garrison commander was a wise man, to the point that her survival instinct to properly protect her own life took precedence over her desire to conquer and embrace an attractive woman.
Seeing him regain his senses that had been paralyzed for a moment and suddenly come to his senses, Eunhyeon was a little amazed inwardly.
I briefly wondered what I should do if the situation continued.
I didn’t want to step in and make the situation more complicated.
“First of all, my wife and I moved so quickly that we are very tired. “I would like to request a place to rest, but is that possible?”
“Yes… Yes! Of course!”
As the commander of the garrison, it was not that difficult to provide shelter for the benefactor who saved many soldiers and residents of the territory from the hordes of undead and demonic beasts invading the border.
“I will guide you first!”
The garrison commander took the lead by example and guided Eunhyeon, who was holding Erin in his arms.
It felt very strange, as if I was guiding a distinguished guest.
“… “Do you know me?”
“Yes?”
The garrison commander tilted his head at Eunhyeon’s unexpected question.
“I was surprised by how politely they treated me.”
“Ah.”
The garrison commander belatedly realized what Eunhyeon was suspicious of.
Finally, he scratched his head and cautiously opened his mouth.
“That… I have met the prosecutor before. Back then… “You haven’t changed at all.”
It hasn’t changed at all from 20 years ago.
As a young man at the time, he started out as a single soldier and, over a long period of time, rose to the position of garrison commander, but the man in front of him with silver feet and red eyes had not changed at all.
It was as if time had stopped in this world, and he had not aged one bit over the past 20 years.
“… No way.”
Eunhyeon’s expression became strange after hearing the guard leader’s story, and soon surprise began to spread.
He cautiously opened his mouth and called out his name.
“Is it ‘Malek’?”
Defense Captain Malek scratched his head in embarrassment and nodded.
“Haha, yes. I never thought we would see each other again like this. “Prosecutor.”
