History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 107

107fury. Captain Frontera (3)

Bzzzz!

“……!”

The sound of wild wings suddenly rushing from the front.

At that sound, Lloyd quickly lowered his head..

Pchut!

A grasshopper's leg passed by as if grazing the back of its head..

It was hot.

Did my skin get torn by my toenails?.

But I didn't have time to worry about such minor stings..

This was because hundreds or thousands of locusts flying in from the front came into view..

“shit.”

I thought I was handling it well..

An escape route was carefully set up to leave most of the locusts behind..

‘After all, the range is too wide. Because they are spread throughout the baronies and viscountries..’

As a result, no matter how well I planned my escape route, some grasshoppers were still running in front of me..

However, the problem is that ‘a little’ can amount to hundreds to thousands..

“Lloyd, be prepared..”

A swarm of locusts covering the sky.

The sound of their wings flapping, almost like a roar,.

Through the roar, Javiel's low voice was heard..

The corner of Lloyd's lip rose..

“Mr. Ha. I'm not mentally ready.”

It's real.

he is not a hero.

He is not a brave warrior from old storybooks..

Of course, I don't like the current situation, where we are rushing head-on into hundreds and thousands of giant locusts that are attacking us so viciously..

‘No, actually, I'm going crazy.!’

I hated bugs.

I hated it at first, but I hated it even more while living at the gosiwon..

This was because I stayed in a cheap, old-style gosiwon that was completely worn out, rather than a sleek gosiwon like the one-room hotel that is popular these days..

Cockroaches, grimas, sometimes even finger-sized centipedes.

I had to go through a very boring experience..

As a result, I developed a habit of becoming disgusted whenever I saw anything with six or more legs..

But now?

‘Isn't it crazy that you have to charge at hundreds and thousands of grasshoppers the size of Jindo dogs??’

Should I just get rid of everything and everything?.

Should I turn my head and run away like this?.

Should I run to the king and beg him to do some work?.

It was only for a moment, but I even had that thought..

But there was no time to think about anything else..

It's already too late to run away.

Before I knew it, a swarm of locusts in front of me was flying a short distance away..

But he was driving his horse towards the swarm of locusts.!

“Ugh, damn it! I'm crazy!”

Now everything happens.

The front was blocked with a pot lid..

Boom! Cark cutter tongue! Cutter tongue!

A huge shock hit the pot lid one after another..

It wasn't just that shocking..

‘Hehehehehehe!’

A shock that was incomparable to the time when Haviel hit the pot lid earlier came after dozens of consecutive blows..

It was obvious.

This is a situation where you are riding a courser with a galloping spell..

Even if you roughly calculate it, 100 kilometers per hour was more than enough speed..

However, a grasshopper weighing several kilograms was flying at a speed of tens of kilometers per hour and collided head-on..

‘At this time, find the amount of impact that Cheolsu receives from the pot lid... … Fuck you! help me!’

Cutter, cutter, cutter.!

The feeling in my arms gradually disappeared..

I felt like my entire shoulder would be ripped out..

My back was bent and my legs felt like they were going to be crushed..

If I hadn't held on to the triple circle with all my might, I would have definitely fallen off the horse..

‘What if you fall off your horse like that? I'll have to take just one bite from those guys thousands of times with my whole body.?’

creepy.

Even in the midst of difficult times, I barely held on while thinking about that..

Of course, Haviel was also a great help..

“Turn your head this way! Run alongside me, keeping your distance so you can stay on course without sight! And lift the pot lid at an angle! Rather than absorbing all the shock, we should let it go.!”

The sound of wings flapping as if hundreds of fans were turned on..

In the meantime, I could clearly hear Haviel's cry..

I followed what he said without even thinking about it..

The lid of the pot was slightly tilted in front..

Then, the impact on the pot lid slightly decreased..

Thanks to this, I had time to look away just a little bit..

‘That guy, Javiel?’

How are you holding on and breaking through without a lid?.

Judging by his voice, he seems to be safe..

Thinking like that, I turned my gaze in his direction..

Then it appeared.

Kiiiiing! Throw in! tukwahak!

Javiel running his course horse side by side.

The guy's entire body, including the courser, were all engulfed in the brilliant brilliance of Aura..

No, to be exact…….

‘How can a human swing a sword like that??’

Squeak! Throwing a bet!

A sword blazing with aura dances..

Playing around by cutting, dividing, and digging through space..

There is no material that cannot be cut before it..

Everything that rushes is cut away with the wind..

‘It feels like I'm swinging around 10 electric fly swatters..’

My tongue naturally stuck out.

Literally, Haviel was breaking through the swarm of locusts head-on, swinging his sword like an Auror storm at post-human speed. No, it was cut into pieces..

He even fired blasts at the front lines whenever he had time..

Throw in! Tutu check!

Each time I fired, I fired three or four shots in bundles..

It wasn't just about shooting a lot..

The angle and path of bundled blasting.

Their spacing was cleverly adjusted, crossed, and overlapped..

Long but narrow hitting range of blasting.

This would be a way to increase the range as efficiently as possible and shoot..

Tookkuk!

Even though it is just a blast, the hitting range is similar to this triple blast..

Rather, it seemed to be much more efficient than triple blasting in terms of use of force..

‘2+1 I guess you could call it blasting. Anyway, he's such a monster.’

Of course, there were still many swarms of locusts attacking from the front..

Lloyd bowed even further..

He encouraged the course horse that carried him..

“Hang in there just a little longer! cheer up!”

“Purr heh hing!”

I was grateful for the horse that ran faithfully even though I was out of breath..

If it weren't for this guy with the sprint spell, I probably wouldn't have been able to even attempt this strategy..

“let's go!”

I moved as if I was one with him..

Too doo doo doo!

Don't just run in a straight line.

Sometimes momentary deceleration and rotation.

It seemed to open to the left, but then broke to the right..

Break through, overcome, shake off, leap forward.

The rushing winds, sounds, and even murderous intent.

Read and react to all the flows.

Gradually, I got the hang of it..

“like this!”

Tukeng!

I swung the pot lid violently..

I killed the grasshopper that was attacking me from above..

The grasshopper bounced off and crashed into another one..

I trampled those who fell with my horse's hooves..

Just like that, we completely broke through the swarm of locusts that were charging in front of us..

Of course, the rest of the locusts were still chasing after them..

As a guess, the number seems to be more than hundreds of thousands..

Even Haviel's aura and blasting, or even our triple blasting, won't be able to handle that..

The back of my head got chills..

“Keep running! under!”

I took advantage of the momentum and sprinted..

You have left the boundaries of the Viscounty of Lacona..

ran towards the north.

I saw familiar roads and terrain..

A land once filled with wetlands and swamps.

However, the land created by everyone working together.

The Marez clearing area unfolded before my eyes..

“Beyond the mound to the river bank of the drainage field!”

There is an extermination zone prepared in advance there..

All you have to do is hold on and run until you get there..

But that was then..

Doo doo doo doo…….

“uh?”

The courser's gallop, which had been running well so far, began to slow down..

Surprised, Lloyd quickly checked the condition of the course horse..

“hey?”

“Purr! Hehehe! Hehehehe!”

The course horse was foaming at the mouth..

Nevertheless, he seemed to be running even harder, as if he didn't want to give up..

Lloyd realized.

‘You're tired..’

No matter how famous a horse is, there is always a limit..

Even sprint magic is not without limitations..

‘but. I ran early in the morning again today. I didn't rest even once on the way to the territory..’

Moreover, immediately after arriving in the Barony,?

I literally had to run with all my might to attract the swarm of locusts..

I took a walk along the outskirts of the wide Barony of Frontera..

I went over to Viscounty territory..

Even the Viscounty Territory took a turn..

Throughout the entire process, there was not a single moment of fluttering..

For a person, it was like running a 100-meter sprint over the distance that would take a marathon..

‘Did they overwork it so much that even sprint magic couldn't cover it? What do we do?’

I looked sideways.

Is what Habiel said okay?.

But what he said was no different from here..

As you can see, the running speed has slowed down..

The feeling of stretching my legs vigorously has largely disappeared..

If I kept running like this, I was sure to collapse..

‘Let’s get off before that..’

Now, hundreds of thousands of locusts are chasing after us..

However, if you force the horse to run away more comfortably for a while, the horse collapses..

If you do so, you may fall off the horse without even preparing for it, and you may suffer serious injury..

‘You'll only suffer a lot of losses. that's not good.’

Did you realize that kind of thinking on this side?.

Or did he understand the condition of the horse he was riding?.

Javiel gave me a similar look..

Lloyd exchanged glances with Haviel in an instant..

‘Let's send the word here.’

‘All right.’

terrestrial!

There was no reason to hesitate anymore.

Lloyd rested one hand on his horse's saddle..

I kicked the stirrups with both feet..

I lifted my body into the air.

“You run away carefully! Don't worry just because it's a little safer, be sure to stay away.!”

Wow!

“Puhi hing!”

To encourage the course horse who has worked hard so far, I gave him a hard slap on the buttocks..

The guy, who felt a little lighter now that he wasn't picking us up, gave a loud sigh and quickly ran forward. He walked away in an instant. By the time this one landed on the ground, it had already run more than twenty meters..

“…….”

Somehow, after that horse-headed guy got off, I suddenly felt like he came to life..

Lloyd had no doubt whatsoever..

Now is the time to keep running away..

Fortunately, the eradication zone established in the Marez clearing area is not far away.…….

“But what are you doing??”

Lloyd looked to the side and asked.

Javiel raised his sword and his solemn eyes flashed..

“Lloyd, go first. I will guard the retreat route here..”

Grumble!

An aura bloomed with fierce determination..

Haviel's sword was wrapped around the stem..

A brilliant determination that only a sword master who realizes the ultimate meaning of the sword can develop..

A knight's sword that shines only to protect the lord, his honor, and his oath..

As expected, Javiel showed a resolute appearance..

I proudly faced the procession of hundreds of thousands of beasts flying towards me..

So Lloyd's heart was pounding..

I waved my hand like a wildly beating heart..

I slapped Javiel on the back of the head..

“Are you crazy? Let's fight them here and now?”

“Lloyd? what now…….”

“Protecting the retreat route is a mess! Are you telling me to leave you to die and run away alone? Quickly get on my back!”

“You mean Lloyd??”

“hurry! No time, man!”

Now the remaining distance from the locust swarm is 30 meters..

I shouted loudly and scolded him..

Without listening to his answer, I jumped up and put him on his back..

“run!”

“…….”

Javiel's face crumpled for a moment..

However, he soon realized the will of the master he served..

‘You only made an extremely practical decision..’

percussion!

turned around.

kicked the ground.

I ran with Lloyd on my back..

Lloyd, who was on his back, hit the pot lid in one hand with his other fist..

Daeeeeng-!

With a loud noise, the chase of the locusts became more intense..

The remaining distance from the locust swarm is now 25 meters..

Javiel said while maintaining his sprint..

“Did Lloyd take all of this into account and give you a wink to get off the horse??”

“Calculation??”

“It means carrying me on my back..”

“of course.”

Lloyd's voice laughing behind his back.

“I don't run fast. Although I'm faster than an ordinary person, I'm not confident that I can run away from a swarm of locusts. But what about you? It's fast, isn't it?.”

“But if I run with Lloyd on my back like this, I won't be able to guarantee my escape. If I had stopped them from behind, you would have been able to run away on your own..”

“I'm doing this because I don't like it.?”

“…….”

“Do you have a hero fetish? Why do you keep making a fuss about not being able to die in a tragic way? It was like that in Cremo too..”

“…….”

“Let's say you stay behind and die in style. Let’s say I live thanks to you. But, will that make me feel at ease? ok?”

“Lloyd…….”

“I don't like that. So run more. Hey!”

slap!

“……Don't treat me like a horse..”

“It's revenge?”

“What do you mean by revenge?.”

“In the anthill. After causing an explosion. When to get out. Don't you remember??”

“…….”

“I carried you out. What did you do then??”

“I don't remember.”

“aha. Please? But what can I do? I remember everything.”

“…….”

“Anyway, for now, let's live together and move on. Some people stay and die, some run away. Isn’t this uncomfortable? It's shameful.”

“…….”

How much is a joke and how much is serious?.

Lloyd Frontera.

Sometimes, no, often, the superiors are difficult to understand..

But one thing is certain.

Let's live together and move out.

“I like that one..”

Taaaat!

I kicked the ground even more fiercely..

Now the remaining distance from the locust swarm is 20 meters..

But I didn't look back.

With that time and energy, I stepped on the ground even harder..

I concentrated all my mind so as not to fall or lose my balance..

It caused an endless cycle of Manahat..

The amplifying power of the triple circle was added to the cycle..

tukwahak!

Give your tired legs the last strength.

My persistent determination as my breathing becomes heavier..

I cut through the wind and climbed over the hill..

Now the remaining distance from the locust swarm is 10 meters..

The sound of loud wings flapping came from behind, eerily approaching..

On the other hand, the distance to the remaining eradication zone is 30 meters..

“Just five more steps!”

A shout from behind my back.

The last step is spurred while counting to five..

Five, carrying the master's son on his back.

Fourth, to keep the promise of living together.

Third, to never give up until the end.

Second, stay focused until the end..

one…….

“jump to the side!”

tahat!

responded immediately to calls.

kicked the ground.

threw myself to the side.

fell into the drain.

What happens now?.

At that time, Lloyd's hand reached out..

I grabbed the back of my head.

“Bow down!”

a pressing grip.

I lowered my body as if acknowledging its power..

Now the remaining distance from the locust swarm is 5 meters..

At that moment, Javiel saw.

“Bell!”

Jingling Jingling Jingling!

A bell's plump tail rising with a loud sound in the grass..

The destructive storm that soon erupts.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

The largest volcanic eruption skill ever seen swept away and engulfed a swarm of locusts..
