Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 320
320angry memory (5)
Rattling, rattling.
On top of a 10-seater carriage moving quickly and shaking, there was a strange presence among adult men with solemn expressions..
A 14-year-old girl staring into space with expressionless eyes.
At first glance, her face was so calm that no one could tell that Amelia Lane Wales was nervous right now..
Except for her sister, Laura Lane Wales..
Sigh.
Amelia, who had been maintaining a rigid posture with her hands on her knees, flinched..
It's because my sister's hands were folded upwards..
“why? Are you very worried??”
Amelia, who has an introverted personality, nodded..
Not only is it meaningless to tell lies to your sister, who knows you intimately like your parents.…….
I'm sure my sister would have noticed.
No matter how shaken the carriage is, how much your body is shaking right now..
“……It's okay, nothing will happen.”
As she felt her sister's body temperature on her skin, Amelia felt her tension dissipate little by little..
Even though the situation is no different from being dragged into a battlefield,.
Soon I closed my eyes and began to hear the conversation between adult men..
“Iron Mask and Emily?”
“I heard that Seongju is sending someone to the accommodation, but I don't know if the communication will be properly communicated during this time..”
“Phew, I'm going crazy. If you were planning something like this, please tell me in advance. What is this in the middle of the night??”
“That doesn't mean it was top secret. Could it be that the lord of the castle joined hands with the royal family to attack Orculis?.”
The sisters were working at their stepfather's tavern like any other day when they were summoned by Felix Barker..
He seemed impatient, but did not explain anything and told us to prepare to fight, but before he could pack up his equipment, he put him in a military carriage with the clan members who had arrived..
“Wait a minute, you're hitting Orculis? I didn't hear that? I'm just saying they're sending support because there's a riot in the east... … . And a royal family? What kind of bullshit is that? How did Seongju join hands with the royal family??”
“From what I heard, it turns out that the royal family had some contact with Seongju some time ago. I don't know what was discussed there... … . Won't there be an estimate at this point?.”
“Well, even from the royal family's point of view, the Orculis guys must have been a thorn in the side. I guess we had the same interests as Seongju..”
“Well, otherwise, why would the knights supported by the royal family be fighting Orculis??”
“……That's probably why Seongju didn't tell us until that day..”
“That's right. They will be the core force anyway. We just have to go and focus on surviving..”
“Ha, if I had known this would happen, I would have been sleeping outside the castle like Iron Mask, but I ended up being dragged inside the castle for no reason..”
“Durbon, be careful what you say..”
“ah… slip of the tongue.”
“And you guys, don't complain too much. Once this matter is resolved, due to the nature of the castle lord, he will be able to receive compensation properly..”
Clan leader Felik Barker quelled the overheated atmosphere..
And how long has it passed?.
Soon the carriage, which had been running for a while, stopped at the eastern entrance of Noark..
“I guess I'll have to walk from here..”
The eastern part, where several battles had already taken place, was filled with a bloody smell right from the border..
Remnants of collapsed buildings and tattered corpses.
Exploding sounds were heard here and there, and human screams were more desperate than those of the banshee..
“What are you doing! How long are you going to block the road? Get down quickly! I don't see any more carriages coming behind me.?”
Amelia followed them out..
My body, which had calmed down while I was coming, was shaking again..
Her older sister warmly held her hand..
“Don't worry too much. Because my sister will definitely protect me…….”
Words from a trustworthy sister who has never once broken a promise.
Still, it wasn't easy to calm down..
No, rather…….
Wow.
The more strength she had in her sister's hand, the more ominous Amelia felt..
***
After finishing reminiscing, Amelia slowly opened her eyes..
It was clear where to go.
The eastern part of Noark gradually became independent from the influence of the castle lord after Orculis made it its base..
“Boo, it's fire!!”
Nowadays, people simply think that a fire broke out there, but in reality, a war is going on there..
And my past self…….
‘He must be traveling east by carriage right now..’
20It was a memory from a year ago, and at the time, it was her first large-scale battle, so she was out of her mind, but Amelia vaguely remembered the direction she moved during that time..
Because it wasn't a memory I could forget even if I wanted to forget it..
It would not be an exaggeration to say that her life over the past 20 years was a day she looked back on today countless times and ruminates with regret..
Tadat.
Amelia accelerated her steps and moved toward her destination..
In the eastern region, where we arrived after a long journey, hundreds of explorers who had been summoned that day by Seongju without knowing anything were encamped..
She looked around and soon found the person she was looking for..
“You were here.”
“who… Uh, Emily?”
Soon, Amelia approached and spoke to him, and Felix Barker, who was waiting for battle, opened his eyes wide..
“how come you here?”
It was nice to see him here, but he seemed a little suspicious..
“There was a lot of commotion so I went to the castle and they sent me here. On the way, I heard the situation from others..”
“Oh, I see... . But where is the iron mask??”
“I was drunk and was sleeping so I just left it there..”
“Hmm, anyway... You left behind such precious resources.…….”
“So what should I do? She was so drunk she couldn't even come to her senses..”
Felix Barker only expressed regret at her words, but did not find the content itself strange..
When the barbarian was late, it was because he often made the excuse that he had drank too much the night before..
“Well, that friend probably didn't know something like this would happen today. Then you'd better assume he's not coming..”
Afterwards, Amelia stood by her younger self and her older sister. Then her sister greeted her awkwardly..
“hello…….”
Unlike the outcast barbarian, Amelia hasn't interacted with either of them beyond necessary conversations for over several months..
Because for some reason, I couldn't say anything when I stood in front of it..
But this time, I forced myself to open my mouth..
“Stick around.”
“……yes?”
“Because that way I can protect you.”
“Ah yes……!”
The sisters, who were not close but knew of Amelia's outstanding skills, brightened their faces at her words..
I didn't seem to know why he was suddenly being nice to me.
“ready for battle!”
Anyway, once the formation was established, it wasn't long before it was her group's turn to go to the front lines..
Divided into dozens of groups, each team took turns taking the front line and taking turns taking breaks.…….
There was nothing very dangerous right now..
The battle for extermination is being carried out by the troops sent by the royal family and the castle lord's elite who were informed of today's plan in advance..
“They are trying to escape! kill it!”
The goal of the troops gathered here is not clearing but encirclement..
How strong will the remnants who escape the burning city be?.
A one-sided massacre continued..
“It seems that the Lord of Seong has made up his mind..”
“Looking at it, it seems like about 70% are ordinary citizens, so it's really okay to kill them all like this.?”
“Wow, that's stupid. You can't distinguish them one by one. What would you do if an Orculis member pretended to be a citizen and got away??”
“That's right.…….”
There were some who expressed skepticism about the one-sided battle, but they were only a minority. They are all people who are good at killing people..
“Does anyone remember what the commander said earlier? How much was it for two parties??”
“I don't remember very well, but at the current rate, I think it would be better than going on an expedition at least once.?”
“hey! Did you hear? Chaser! Don't fight, just listen! Oh, if there’s anything you’re wearing that looks expensive, take it off.!”
Most people were delighted that they could earn a high income by doing easy work..
However, the more Amelia said, the more her expression hardened..
Even though she was born in this city and grew up with these people, this way of thinking still bothered her.…….
At least she knew.
This festive atmosphere is only temporary, and hell is about to unfold..
“What, there's someone walking alone over there??”
Even in the midst of all the noise, someone's mumbling could be heard particularly loudly..
Amelia quickly turned her head..
“……Is this guy out of his mind??”
I saw a man walking alone from the front..
Considering that the numerous escape attempts that had been made so far began with at least a few hundred people, it was a very strange scene..
however…….
plod.
As the man got closer, those watching felt a sense of discomfort..
plod.
Black uniform drenched in blood.
However, it is only wet and there is no scratch on the clothes..
If you look at the red blood, it means you haven't been lucky enough to have encountered anything on your way here..
plod.
What's unusual is the sword worn at the waist as well..
Like looters who know the value of items like a ghost, as the distance got closer, everyone realized that the sword was no ordinary item..
The sword itself is very ordinary, but…….
The name of a man wearing an ordinary sword is very famous in this city..
“……Hey, that's what I'm thinking right now, isn't it? Please tell me I'm wrong.”
“…….”
“Does anyone know your face??”
There was a stir among the waiting explorers..
Some people trusted their instincts and took a step back, while others were busy denying it, saying it just wasn't right..
but.
plod-.
When the man narrowed the distance to 50m.
Hehehey profit-!
The flames spewed out by a fire-type expert were extinguished before they could reach the man, and silence came for a moment..
Because it was such a famous ability..
“Wealth, unspoken command…….”
[unspoken order].
5The power of the ruler of the floor, the Lord of Silence.
This incomprehensible power that nullifies the natural ability of explorers has been achieved by less than ten people in the long history of history.…….
As far as is known, there is only one in modern times..
“Oh, you're a traitor…….”
‘The only criminal with the nickname 'traitor'.
He is the person who created the group called Orculis with his own hands.…….
An undefeated swordsman who was once called ‘the swordsman’..
Ricardo RuchenPrague.
The man's appearance caused confusion..
“why is this guy here…….”
“The royal family! They say you'll be fighting with the guys sent by the royal family.!”
The man didn't answer any of their questions..
I just quietly raised my sword as if I wasn't interested..
“Also, run away!”
From this point on, the gathered explorers turned their backs and began to run away..
However, the moment the man's sword was swung.
flash-!
A flash of light flashed for just a moment..
and…….
Stand up and go-!
20Old memories that I had looked at countless times over the years began to reappear once again..
