Chapter 202 – Ep.202 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
Lebellum Fortress – East Tower.
Shiron furrowed his eyebrows as he brushed his bangs that had become disheveled by the blowing hot air.
Kernax, who was standing next to him, sighed and said, gently pressing Siron’s wrinkled eyebrows with his index finger.
“Wrinkles appear.”
“… What.”
He swatted Kernax’s hand that had touched his forehead to the side, as if swatting away a bothersome fly.
“Fuck. When the hell are these bitches coming?”
“Shiron.”
Kernax glanced at the soldiers standing around and spoke softly.
“There must be something going on.”
“What are the circumstances?”
“I understand you’re angry. “Still, there are many ears listening, so be careful.”
“Under.”
Siron once again swept his bangs in a large motion.
While following Ardella and helping her spar with the knights, a sharp whistle sounded and all sparring stopped.
Without even having to ask what was going on, Siron figured out the situation just by the movements around him, so he immediately found Kernax and followed the quickly moving knights up the castle tower.
There was no hesitation in his move because he had promised to help her sisters at the eastern castle tower at Ardella’s request in advance.
The problem comes after arriving at the castle tower.
Contrary to what I had heard from Ardella beforehand, five knights were together, and the number of soldiers was so great that it filled the remaining empty space.
Strong castle walls.
A seasoned and experienced soldier.
Contrary to my expectation that I would have to run around the wide castle tower and work hard, I was in a somewhat good mood when I first climbed the castle tower because I had the conditions to act a little more leisurely.
However, as time passed little by little, Siron’s mood began to decline rapidly, and eventually he reached the point where he was frowning his forehead.
As Kernax said, it is true that you have to be careful about what you say and do because there are many ears to listen to, but soldiers listen with one ear and let it out with the other.
To put it simply, he responded that he had not heard anything.
Of course there is a reason.
The person in charge of communicating with the commanders of other castle towers and issuing orders has not been seen for more than an hour after the whistle blows, so the person who came to help will naturally be angry.
Not only the soldiers but also the five knights were unaware of such feelings, and this was the reason why they pretended not to notice even after hearing Siron’s swear words.
“A superior entity is approaching from ahead.”
Upon hearing the report from the soldier in charge of the observation plane, Siron jumped up and landed on the castle tower.
“Snake?”
Siron frowned as he noticed the entity approaching from afar.
At that time, a soldier behind him spoke.
“It is the parent entity of the Desert Naga. “I’ve been here for ten years, and this is the second time I’ve seen it in person.”
“Anyway, it’s a monster… Yo. This.”
“Oh, yes. That’s right.”
The soldier looked surprised at the unexpected respect, but quickly corrected his expression and nodded.
“Huh, really.”
Siron clicked his tongue, glaring at the other person who was becoming more and more clearly visible.
A monster with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake.
In her eyes, the entity approaching now did not look like a monster close to a human, but a human close to a monster.
“But why is that person crawling alone?”
Siron blinked as he saw the higher-ranking entity that had already entered the shooting range of the arrow.
“What are you going to do?”
Siron turned his head and asked the knights standing behind him.
The five knights secretly avoided Siron’s gaze, and Kernax, who was inferior, coughed briefly and spoke.
“It’s only one. “Let’s just watch for now.”
“The excuses are really long.”
“… “If you know, don’t ask.”
As Siron clicked his tongue, Cernax and his knights blushed slightly and lowered their visors.
Since there was no one in charge to give orders, they could not move quickly.
For that reason, they had no choice but to just blankly watch the higher entity approaching the castle wall alone.
“It looks like the monsters here make clothes.”
Clothing made of shiny metals and translucent fabric.
That time when Siron was purely amazed as she saw her higher entity draped over her body.
“…”
“…”
The gaze of the higher-ranking entity that stopped in front of the castle wall was directed directly at Siron, who was on the castle tower.
Siron did not avoid the gaze that was looking up at her as if it were staring at him, but instead glared at her.
‘Fuck… ‘That thing is a real monster?’
Although he did not show it on the outside, it was the moment when his eyes met the object stopped in front of the castle wall.
Siron had to experience the sensation of her massive presence making the hairs on her entire body stand on end.
If you think about it, there was definitely something strange about it.
The other person is clearly getting closer, but the sense of presence has not changed at all from when I first recognized the other person.
Why didn’t she think it was strange?
“Under…”
Siron’s mouth twisted crookedly.
“There’s a reason why I came out alone like a crazy bitch… “Is this it?”
Siron was sure.
Unless she descends from the walls and surrounds her opponent, she cannot simply use arrows to capture the being in front of her.
However, before Siron could boil over her fighting spirit, she withdrew the energy that the other party had been shooting at her.
“… What.”
I frown at the unknown person’s actions.
―I am Ra-Rosha, the great warrior of the Karakasha tribe!!
In contrast to its elegant appearance, a very loud voice burst from the mouth of the higher-ranking entity.
-I came here to make a suggestion to you.
La-Rosha pursed her lips for a moment.
But no one responded to her words.
As if La-Rosha had expected this, she looked up at the castle wall again and opened her mouth.
-I will deal with ten of you here alone. You choose the ten people who will compete with me. If I win, I will take back the ten people who lost to me. If that happens, nothing will happen to this fortress today.
La-Rosha glared at Siron again.
-If you do not accept it, I will return and this place will be painted with your blood.
Siron frowned at her.
“Are you crazy?”
I was very surprised that he spoke human language fluently while talking about monsters, but that was it.
Could it be that they came here thinking that such a cheap provocation would work?
Siron turned his head with a puzzled expression.
But when she looked back, her eyebrows gradually curved downward and eventually became a V.
“Cheeky… !!”
“I’m going out. “I will go out and cut off that arrogant bitch’s head in one fell swoop and hang it as a decoration on the castle gate.”
Siron couldn’t help but frown at the sight of the knights pouring out their anger with her face filled with anger.
Siron glared at Cernax, who was standing next to the knights, with her distorted face.
Kernax’s face was not much different from the knights talking next to him.
‘Okay… ‘I was a knight that year too.’
Siron wiped her face.
The good news is that, unlike the excited knights, the soldiers remain calm.
“You’re having a hard time.”
“Haha, no.”
The soldier who had first explained to Siron about her superior entity smiled indifferently.
―What a long thought!! Are you afraid of me coming alone?
At the sound of La-Rosha’s voice booming from behind her, Siron fluttered her eyebrows and turned her head towards her.
“Why is that bitch only talking to me?”
The huge energy that had died down was released again and put pressure on him.
He felt like swearing at him or giving him a quick bite, but since he was only an outsider, there was nothing he could do other than grit his teeth and accept the energy being fired at him.
―Is there really no one coming out?
The knights standing behind started to run wild even further as the voice was full of disappointment.
To the point where if you touch it even a little more, it will just jump away, no matter what the command.
‘I’m going to kick you before you jump.’
It is true that the shooting energy and presence sharpen one’s nerves, but apart from that, he did not try to underestimate his opponent’s skills.
‘Even if the idiots behind you, including me, attack you, you won’t be able to win.’
Because there are countless variables, it is impossible to know what the results will be if the bodies are actually mixed, but even that variable was a case of one-to-many rather than one-to-one, so the intention was to absolutely prevent the knights from jumping down.
-It looks like there really isn’t one.
La-Rosha opens her mouth with a face full of disappointment.
She looked up at her poetry once again.
‘Fuck. So why are you doing this to me?’
Siron glared at her opponent, who was continuously signaling her to come down.
In response to Siron’s reaction, La Rocha bit her lip slightly.
-Okay. Because they are so scared, they must be hiding behind something so big. I am really disappointed in you. I was foolish to have even the slightest expectations…
The energy that had been directed towards Siron was lost again.
However, Siron’s face was still crumpled.
The reason was that a dark shadow appeared on the face of the other person, who was standing proudly even in front of thousands of people.
La-Rosha did not shout anymore.
Instead, she just quietly turned around with a shaded face, the opposite of the confident one she came from.
The moment Siron clicked her tongue at the sight of the back looking somewhat listless.
“Wait!!”
A voice came from behind her, not as loud as La-Rosha, but loud enough for anyone on the castle walls to hear.
Siron remembered hearing that voice before, so she quickly turned her head.
Two knights running towards us at high speed.
However, what is inside is not a knight, but Ardella’s two younger brothers.
Siron came down from the castle tower because he felt like something bad was going to happen.
“I am sorry for being late.”
“I received the report late because I was on my way to apologize to a guest invited by the lord. Sorry.”
The two bowed their heads briefly towards those gathered for them.
Considering their status, they showed great sincerity.
However, regardless of the sincerity the two showed, Siron still asked the two with a wrinkled face.
“What did you mean by telling me to wait?”
“That word. “It is the same.”
“If you just send him away after hearing such insulting words, he will no longer be able to be called a knight.”
“That… Ha.”
I barely swallowed the nutmeg that stuck out to the end of my throat.
“Everyone on the other side is quiet, so I don’t think there’s any need to step forward.”
“The reason it’s quiet is because we’re the ones fighting it.”
“… “Who on earth do we include?”
The respect finally disappeared from the mouth of Siron, who could no longer bear it.
However, the two, who had already fully grasped the nature of the poem, continued talking regardless.
“From this castle to that point is our territory. In other words, handling it is solely up to us. “We here are talking about you and those who are here.”
Siron hit his forehead loudly with his palm.
“Therefore. “So you’re saying that each person only handles their own area?”
“That’s right.”
“I’m going to be amazed.”
I have traveled to quite a few cities as an adventurer, but this was the first time in my life that I had come across a place with such a strange command system.
Not knowing the speed of such a theory, the two spoke to the approaching knights.
“Because we were late, we were subject to unnecessary insults from the officers. Sorry.”
“I apologize. So, let us handle this.”
At the two’s apologies, the knights nodded and agreed with their decision, saying nonsense things like, “Please cut off that damn thing’s head,” And “I trusted you.”
Siron was shocked and blocked the two.
“Don’t be a jerk, just send me off quietly!!”
“Please pass by.”
“Ugh?!”
Before he knew it, Siron was running wild towards Kernax, who had come behind him and covered his mouth.
However, because they were ambushed and were wearing strong armor, they were unable to properly counterattack, so there was nothing they could do other than shout ‘Eup-eup!!’
Siron was pulled to the side by Kernax, and the two sisters followed the path opened by the soldiers and jumped down, holding on to the rampart.
“Puh-ha!! “You crazy bitches!!”
Siron, who belatedly escaped Kernax, hurriedly pushed the soldiers aside and ran to the fortress, but the two sisters were already confronting La-Rosha.
“I’m going crazy, damn it… !!”
“Uh huh. “Be quiet.”
“Aren’t you going to let this go?!”
Kernax stopped Siron, who was about to jump even belatedly, and Siron went on a rampage once again.
“I admit that your skills are better than both of them. But that doesn’t mean you two are weak enough to lose to that thing.”
“You lost!! Lose!! Fuck!! “That snake bastard is stronger than me?!”
“It’s a funny joke.”
“Ah…”
At Kernax’s resolute response, Siron’s anger went beyond his limits and sparks flew before his eyes.
I was so angry that I lost all my energy.
Only after confirming that the strength had drained from Siron’s body did Kernax gently let go of Siron’s arms that he had been holding on to.
Siron spoke to Kernax as he helplessly stepped on the castle tower.
“I stopped you… It was definitely stopped. “If anything goes wrong, you’re responsible.”
“That doesn’t happen. Why would you even make a bet?”
“Bet? Fuck. Yes, do it. Let’s do it.”
Siron growled at Cernax as he saw La-Rosha and her two sisters standing face to face in the hot sand wind.
“If you two are defeated by that, I will grant your one wish as much as I can.”
“Then, on the contrary, if those two win, I will grant you one wish.”
Kernax chuckled.
“It’s not as soft as last time.”
“Okay… “Laugh hard when you can.”
Siron knew he would win the bet, but he just sighed.
‘Fuck. I do not know.’
He didn’t even notice until the other person directly revealed his energy, so who is to blame?
Moreover, among adventurers, there is a saying that a fool who cheats is worse than a person who cheats.
That’s exactly the situation now.
‘How long are you going to keep glaring at me?’
Siron clicked his tongue as he looked at the three of them, facing each other for a long time and not moving.
“It’s starting.”
As Cernax said, La-Rosha put her hands behind her back and held a strangely shaped sword curved like a half moon in both of her hands.
Then one of her sisters, who I did not know was her older sister or her younger brother, stepped forward and drew her sword.
While everyone was looking at the bottom of the castle wall with eyes filled with anticipation, only Siron looked down with sad eyes.
Kernax chattered softly, not knowing the true intentions of such a theory.
“As I said yesterday, the lord’s blood flows through both of you. So, keep an eye on it.”
“… Ha.”
Siron was tired of responding, so he just shut his mouth.
And.
“Goes!!”
One of the sisters made the first move.
Closing the distance in an instant, she swung her sword at high speed towards La-Rosha.
Kagagak-
The sword that flew in her blue path was scraped away by La-Rosha’s strangely shaped blade.
The two exchanged swords several more times while standing in place.
The main attacking side was the Blue Trail Knight, and La-Rocha continued to show a defensive appearance.
At first glance, it seems like La-Rocha is being pushed unilaterally.
Siron’s eyes, as he watched this, became strangely crooked.
On the contrary, Kernax laughed softly.
In front of everyone, the knight pushed La-Rosha hard, and as she continued to block her sword, white frost had already settled on her body.
Siron’s head tilted crookedly.
‘… What?’
What? Is it a deception?
She shows herself being treated like that, but then says that it was actually nothing, completely breaking her opponent’s heart… ?
However, Siron’s thoughts did not last long.
―Waaaaa!!
The shouts of soldiers.
A sword filled with blue energy pierced La-Rosha’s abdomen, whose entire body was covered in pure white frost.
Stabbed by her sword, La-Rosha dropped the two swords in her hands to the floor.
As soon as the knight pulled out his sword, he collapsed helplessly like a doll whose strings had been cut.
Once again, loud cheers erupted from the surrounding area.
“Shiron.”
Siron’s head, which had been tilted crookedly, turned even more strangely at the sound of a voice coming from right next to him.
Kernax spoke calmly, holding the corner of his mouth that was about to turn up at Siron, who was glaring at him in a strange posture.
“Let’s call you sister.”
