The wise man returns

At that time, Duke Azan was sitting across from the escort who was performing the wagon.

The guards gathered together swallow and bite back at the duc.

“Th... what you just said, did we hear it wrong? ”

“No, you heard right. Ambush their inn before sunrise tomorrow and kill Earl Evelyn. ”

“... bam. ”

The escorts confirm your orders, groaning as if they weren't full.

They were the elite knights under Duke Bondi Azan.

If it wasn't for Duke Asan, he would have pulled out the sword by now.

“I understand your feelings. I don't feel good giving this order either. ”

“Why...!? ”

The duc sighs and replies to the rebellious escorts.

“Because this is war. We are at war. ”

“War...? ”

“What's that? ”

The wrong answer reminds me of the awkward look on the guards' faces for a moment.

Their kingdom has never made any special enemies at the moment. Suddenly, war? I couldn't understand what he was saying.

Duke Azan picks up the bucket of water next to him, choking on it, and opens his mouth.

“You must have seen the young wizard next to Earl Evelyn. ”

“Yes.”

The guards nod. It was frightening to see the Duke of Rudens defeating his knights with just one life.

“As far as I'm concerned, there is no such person in our kingdom. That's the same for the Kadim Empire. ”

“Well...”

Duke Azan gives his voice to the blurry escorts.

A powerful Mana, which possesses every fish like a wedge, digs into the minds of the guards.

Bang, bang! Bang!

“He is a talent in another kingdom. We don't know if it's Karshan, Pioneer, Arat, or somewhere else. The only thing I can tell you is that when he grows up like this, all the kingdoms will be devoured by his country! That's the only one."

“Ahh! Ahh! ”

“The whole world to him! ”

The escorts' faces felt the seriousness of the situation and were filled with a firm resolve.

Duke Azan's Mana evokes a common imagination in their heads.

The guards saw the defeat of the armies of the Kingdom of Noron.

The escorts who saw the Swordsman saw the boy's sword moving on the battlefield.

Every time the boy's sword moves, the knights in armor and spears fall down like thugs.

Meanwhile, the appearance of the wizard was not much different. No, it was more terrifying than the prosecutor's vision.

It was terror itself that brought down tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of armies in a single stroke.

“Did you see it?”

“Yes!”

The guards responded in unison to the duc's question.

I no longer hesitated on their faces.

As soon as the order is given, the guards are ready to make their move, but the duc says something unexpected instead of sending them right away.

“Then listen to me, and don't even think about going head-to-head with him. Your objective is Earl Evelyn. If you find out you've killed the Earl Young-Ae, step back immediately. ”

“Ha, but isn't that the boy who once took over the kingdom? Why Earl Evelyn?? ”

The duc sighs as the guards ask.

“Because he's too strong now. Don't you feel it? I wasn't sure if I could beat him even if I tried. ”

“Huff!”

“Duke, no way!! ”

A shocking confession made the escorts speak louder.

I was surprised by the Silence Magic in advance. I almost caught your eye.

As the duc was in a hurry, the escorts pressed down on the hood even deeper and pleaded guilty.

“I understand your surprise. But I felt it. My whole body struggled when I met that boy. He's never beneath me. ”

“I can't...”

“Duke, how can we be the only ones to...”

Duke Azan raises one mouth and says to the squirming escorts.

“So get rid of the Earl Evelyn and fall back immediately." ”

“Ah!! ”

Then the escorts open their eyes to realize the truth of the words.

Duke Azan is one of the top sovereign masters.

A man of similar skill could not guarantee a battle even if he had a thousand of them.

But what if he has a purpose?

“Don't worry. He's more of a wizard than a knight. Aim for the gap should be enough. Kill a boy if you can, but the first order is the assassination of Earl Evelyn. We can't let him go to the Emperor's campaign at any cost. Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

“Then let's go. Don't forget, Earl Evelyn is number one. ”

The knights set out with their swords in their hands.

Instead of silver armor, their appearance made the duc think a lot.

“I can't help it. ”

Duke Azan asks himself a question his henchmen haven't asked yet.

Why don't you stand up and face the boy yourself?

The reason for not doing so was simple.

because I was afraid.

It was unbearably scary to go one-on-one as a person.

‘That's strange. Not even a Gatherer-like mutant Ogre or a Black Drake with the venom to melt the missiles could bring fear out of me... I guess I didn't have enough training. ’

Duke Azan blames himself for the success of the mission.

By excluding him from a battle aiming for the pinnacle of the world, he prevents the world's leadership from passing over to him in the future.

In doing so, the country of boys and boys is at war with the world.

Individual vs Individual, not World vs Individual With such a gap, no matter how much the boy flew and crawled, it was nothing like turning the battle upside down.

‘It's all for the benefit of the country. I'm in the Caesar's War, and I just ordered an assassination. And... tolerate the Black Wizards. ’

Duke Azan closes his eyes.

We leave early tomorrow morning.

To do that, I had to rest early.

I fell asleep sooner than I expected.

The duc falls into a deep sleep that won't wake up if the explosion goes off right next to him.

* * *

Approximately 120 active assassins.

They were all elites looking up at the excellence of Expert.

“What do I do? ”

“With this much power, it's also possible to seal off the entire inn. Why don't you build a siege around the fire? ”

“That's good. All right, everybody out of the way. ”

A few guards walk among the squawking escorts with sticks.

Ten wizards were mixed up in the judgment that it was not good to just send all the articles.

Each of the direct wizards who followed Duke Asan was looking at more than five classes.

That's all. Adapting to the environment of the North Rhone Kingdom makes your body move no more than a warrior.

Ten 5-class masters who can cast at the same speed as your articles.

If they were properly escorted, it would be difficult to guarantee the battle even if only infantry troops would come.

Those were the people who were gathered here.

“Burn and destroy with ferocity. ”

“It's your food that exists in the world, so eat it all and get rid of it. ”

Three Fire Wizards chanting the incantation reached out together.

The rest of the crew form a siege net around the inn and draw their swords.

The residences of Balin and Evelyn are quite prestigious, so there were some nobles and escorts.

But not all of them were under the command of Balin, just a misfit escort.

“Go!”

As those in the lead signal, the fire from the wizards strikes the inn together.

Boom! Bloop!

The walls of the inn collapse with the explosion, and a wolf-shaped flame reveals its shape inside them.

“Ugh, ahhhh! ”

“Fire! Fire! ”

“Wizard! Wizard! ”

Escorts rush to the noisy inn in advance with firearms.

The waiters rushed out to put out the fire, but the escorts rushed in without guilt.

“Dammit! What the hell?! ”

The escorts at the inn guarding the guests stare at the assassins.

The mercenaries here were of similar skill level to the Knights of the Expert class, as they were regularly paid a lot of money.

However, at that rate, I could not see their trajectory, rather than dealing with the escorts.

“Hiya!”

“Chuckle! Chuckle! ”

A drop of blood protrudes from the guard's mouth as he draws his sword.

The guards, who stabbed the guard in the neck and heart with their daggers, cut their throats, exchange their eyes and move upward.

The guests in the lobby draw their swords to protect themselves.

However, the disorderly march was no different from the sheep for the raiders.

“Get rid of them all. As few witnesses as possible. ”

“Tsh, tsh!”

Between the exposed and wary flocks, black wolves rush in to reveal sharp teeth.

The guests who realized the heat of strength quickly flew outside, but each time the arrow holding Mana killed them.

“Keep the perimeter tight. Don't let your colleagues find out until they're done. ”

“Got it. I'll do it. ”

There was already a distortion in the hallucinations around the inn.

No one on the outside notices that the inn is being attacked because of the cloaking magic that deceives both the eyes, ears, nose and skin.

Internal work and external concealment were all in order.

The escorts never let their guard down and watch the inn.

Meanwhile, the escorts that went inside went to the second floor and then to the third floor.

I didn't know where Balin and Evelyn slept, so I was trying to overthrow them all.

“Careful. The opponent is of the Swordmaster class. You seem to be a wizard, so take care to see if the illusions are mixed up. ”

“I see.”

The escorts nod at the direction of the man who was in the lead.

Having the top senses of Expert, I was able to understand all the hallucinations on the crazy difficulty level.

But the opponent is the wizard who made Duke Azan nervous.

It was an illusion they did not realize, so they could overwrite it as much as they wanted.

201...

A guard breaks down the door in the first room and draws his sword.

In the room, my father was shining because his sword was blue, as if he had honed his sword.

“... I'm sorry. ”

A guard who left a brief summoning as a knight gives strength to his wielding hand.

"Gaaaah!!"

As the blade approaches, the child who looks like a daughter screams, and his father grips his teeth and rushes toward the knight's sword.

Chang Kang!

Of course, the results were clear. The level difference was too great to stop it with the will of the beginning.

"Huff!"

A middle-aged man slashed his head, and the guard aimed a bloody sword at his wife and child.

If we have to kill him, let's at least end it painlessly.

The graceful escort tries to make a move.

Bloop.

Something soft rests on the guard's head.

Immediately, an unbearable drowsiness struck the escort.

"Hmmm. Tsk... tsk...!"

No matter how hard I tried to endure it, I couldn't help it.

In the end, the guard falls to the floor, unable to hold his staggering body.

Balin, who was watching this from the top floor, kicked his tongue.

"Too late for that. You can't."

"What?"

Evelyn, who pulled out a knife from the side, asks.

Balin looks back at her and answers.

"An unrighteous life has just disappeared. because of these nocturnal thugs."

A blue flame flickers through his eyes.

"I won't let any of them live. You have to pay for your life."

Balin smiled as he said.

It was the same laugh as before when Castro, Cain Hoof, and the Three Kings were eliminated.

Thank you for reading. We're going to run this far today.

By the way... 100.

What should I do? I didn't prepare for an event.

You can't do that.

We will continue with normal events, with no events…

I look at things like Naver Webtoons, and I feel uncomfortable every time I don't have a script for 100 episodes or 200 episodes.

That's why

I run today and tomorrow.

I'd appreciate it if you'd drive with me.

Question 1. Regarding whether Duke Santos' territory is laundered.

The piece didn't fit because there was no room for it in the piece, and Duke Santos is currently accused of being a Horseman laborer, so he failed to pass the land on to his relatives.

It's a good thing it ended that way, because the three of them were about to split apart, so it's true that the duchess didn't know the subject.

Question 2. Intelligence...

I'm sorry, I should have defined the word sage in my work first, but everyone thought the protagonist was smart enough to be called a sage.

Sorry, the Grand Wizard is thinking of changing his title to regrets.

Question 3. Why do you learn swordsmanship?

Not because the D.A. is stronger...

This is because you can practice swordplay for a long time, and you have longer, more, and greater stamina to use magic in battle.

Besides, learning how to sharpen your Mana even more purely by using the Mana training technique on your sword would be a waste, right?

I'll see you guys tomorrow. I'll be waiting!
