Poseok!
The grasshopper fell.
Body up to 70 centimeters long.
The large body, which did not resemble an insect, was charred like black charcoal..
Of course, the grasshopper did not show any movement..
I was already dead and couldn't resist..
This was also the case in front of the slow raking of a farmer who moved while yawning as if he were tired..
“Hmm.”
Perseok, Perseok!
Three or four grasshoppers were caught in one rake..
Everyone was swept here and there, burnt like charcoal..
cleared away, gathered.
piled up like a mountain.
“Phew, that's huge..”
The Baron's senior knight, Lord Bavaria, who had been encouraging the cleanup work, was disgusted. He had also felt it yesterday when the locusts attacked, but the numbers were truly disgusting..
‘Still, I'm glad there were very few casualties..’
Lord Bayern suddenly remembered the events of yesterday morning..
It was just an ordinary morning.
woke up at the same time as usual.
I washed my face and hurried to morning training..
It was right after he left home that an eerie roar was heard in the eastern sky..
‘I've never seen such a sight before.’
A swarm of locusts covered the skies over the eastern mountains in pitch black..
The sun, clouds, and blue sky were all covered..
Did it become completely dark as if night had come?.
Even now, looking back, I get goosebumps..
‘It felt like the end of the world.’
I was embarrassed.
No, actually I was scared..
I just wanted to leave everything and go home..
I just wanted to lock myself in the deepest part of the warehouse and hide..
But who are you?.
He was a senior knight of the Barony of Frontera..
Although his swordsmanship skills were far behind that of his subordinate Javiel Asrahan, he had the responsibility of commanding the territory's engineers and guards..
I believed this to be especially true in disaster situations like yesterday..
So I ran.
Instead of hiding at home, I ran towards the baron's mansion..
They went there, gathered the engineers and guards, and attempted a counterattack..
But it wasn't easy.
‘I couldn't even run 200 meters and was surrounded by a swarm of locusts..’
Dozens of grasshoppers rushed in.
Inside, I swung my sword frantically..
It was the worst bloody fight he had ever experienced..
I gradually lost strength..
The sword felt heavy..
The movement of the legs also became slower..
I thought it would end like that.
I wondered if he would die in vain among the insects, unable to protect anyone, unable to fulfill his duties..
But then an unexpected resonance struck my ears..
‘It was Lloyd..’
Lord Bayern raised his head..
I looked up at the clearing river bank..
There was a man there supervising the clearing of the grasshopper carcasses..
It was Lloyd Frontera, the eldest son of the lord he served..
‘If it weren't for him I would have died yesterday.’
It is certainly.
It must have been like that..
If only the resonance sound had not rang at the right time.
If Master Lloyd hadn't made a sound with the pot lid,.
So, if the swarm of locusts didn't run as if they were fascinated by the sound,.
He would have been eaten alive by a swarm of locusts..
‘It's not just me.’
Many people in the territory were like that..
Almost all residents were like that..
There are also farmers in the clearing area collecting locust corpses over there..
Engineers looked tired from the all-day cleanup work..
And all of their families.
If it weren't for Lloyd, I wouldn't have escaped death..
Lord Bayern could be sure of one thing:.
But that was then..
“I think this will be enough for today..”
Suddenly a voice came from next to me.
Lord Bavaria was startled by the sound..
I looked to the side..
“why? I want to do more work?”
“…….”
Lloyd, who was on the riverbank earlier, was suddenly talking to me next to me..
Perhaps this person came to me while I was lost in my thoughts..
Lord Bayern thought so and cleared his voice..
“If Mr. Lloyd would like to extend the work, I would be happy to do so..”
“You want to do more? The sun is setting?”
“I just follow orders faithfully.”
“okay? good. So, shall we work all night until tomorrow morning? It would be better to finish the organizing as quickly as possible, even if it is done more rigorously..”
“All right.”
nodded.
I turned my head to call the senior soldiers of the engineering corps..
But he couldn't call his soldiers.
Because Lloyd quickly opened his mouth first..
“Whoa, whoa. Are you really going to do this? working all night?”
“Yes that's right.”
“No way I did it?”
“yes.”
“……I don't do things like that all night long..”
“So, are you canceling the order to carry out the all-night work??”
“of course.”
“All right.”
“…….”
Whoa. He seems like this sincere but full-of-sighted knight..
Lloyd smiled bitterly inwardly..
‘This is what Lord Bayern was like.’
In the novel, Iron Blooded Knight, the only two knights who did not betray the failing baron..
However, unlike the main character, Haviel, the article did not appear that much because he was an extra..
‘Sincere and loyal. That was all there was to describe these two personalities..’
But those two were enough.
Loyalty and not betraying your lord the Baron..
Sincerity in trying to complete one's assigned duties to the end.
In order to capitalize on his strengths, he was entrusted with command of the engineering corps from the time he started the ondol room business early on..
And Lord Bavaria faithfully completed all the work he had undertaken so far..
‘But if there's one downside, it's, well, being too serious..’
It's fun to tease someone if they have a moderate amount of resistance and bounce like Haviel..
Lloyd said, licking his lips with regret blooming like bone broth..
“I had a hard time today. Anyway, it's not something that will be resolved quickly if you leave it hanging for a day or two. It looks like I'm going to lose out now, so organize the work and disperse..”
“All right.”
Lord Bavaria signaled to his superior soldiers..
Soldiers of the Corps of Engineers cheered and organized their work tools..
It's probably because we're all exhausted from cleaning up the grasshopper carcasses all day long..
However, the engineers did not disperse immediately..
Before rushing back to the engineer barracks, I came over here..
I thought they were approaching, but they lined up in an orderly manner..
And I shouted loudly in this direction..
“Thank you Lloyd!”
“……haha? What are you doing??”
A group of black men gathered together and suddenly shouted thank you..
I was a little embarrassed.
However, I was able to feel a little bit of their sincerity by looking at the eyes of the engineers..
“Are you thinking that I saved you yesterday??”
“Yes that's right!”
“Wow. That's it. I just fought hard for my old age.?”
“…….”
“So, if you want to be thankful, do it. Instead, if you want to give thanks, next time, instead of shouting loudly, do it with a bag full of gold coins. Okay guys?”
“Yes, I understand!”
I felt a little embarrassed by their sincerity..
So I deliberately chose only nasty words and uttered them..
However, the sight of the engineers shouting loudly that they really knew and then dispersing was like this..
‘Did I do something too grand yesterday?.’
From the Marez Clearings to the Baron's House.
As I walk alone through the red sunset, I cannot stop the bitter smile that comes out of my mouth. This is especially true when I look back on what I did here yesterday..
Suddenly, yesterday's urgent moment came to mind..
It was the final moment of luring the swarms of locusts to the previously prepared extermination zone..
♣
“jump to the side!”
Butsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-!
The loud flapping sounds of a swarm of locusts running right behind me..
An eerie sound that makes you shiver just by hearing it..
cried out loud in it.
Javiel immediately responded to our cry..
Let’s carry him on our backs and let’s do it together.
flew sideways.
fell into the drain.
I immediately stretched out my hand..
I pressed down on the back of Javiel’s head..
At the same time, I put the lid on the pot..
Butsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-!
The eerie sound of wings coming from above.
I can't count the number. There are so many that the sound is all muffled. Like the sound of a TV channel that only shows a crackling gray screen..
However, the volume of the sound was as if 100 large concert speakers were bundled together and turned on at maximum output..
My heart is pounding.
My pulse was racing like crazy..
‘Drop, now is the time!’
I shouted inside.
At that moment, Bell’s response came back..
“Bell!”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Heavy drinking that covers the heavens and earth.
An explosion strikes a swarm of locusts..
Tuchem!
The volcanic eruption skill exploded.
A terrible shock wave hits.
A heat wave reaching 1,000 degrees erupted..
Magma debris rushed like a storm at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour..
swept away everything within range.
Radiant heat cooked the entire space within tens of meters..
There were only two people who could survive in it..
“Get down more! lower!”
Lloyd shouted..
I lowered myself into the drainage ditch of the field..
Most of the radiant heat coming from above was blocked by the pot lid..
The rest of the heat was absorbed and discharged with a simple mind technique..
That's how I endured one volcanic eruption storm..
And I got up.
“now! Hit it!”
Tadat!
The two of them got up together..
Lloyd lifted the lid of the pot..
Javiel raised his sword..
Daeeeeng-!
The sword hit the pot lid..
A low, clear resonant sound spread around the scene of destruction..
It spread quickly through the ground and heated air..
The sudden explosion stimulated the hearing of the remaining locusts who were startled and hesitant. tempted. dragged in.
Buzzzzzzzzzz!
The swarms of locusts that had been slowing down flocked in ravenously again..
“good! Once more!”
Daeeeeeng-!
It rings through the air once again.
Hundreds of thousands of pairs of wings fly, shaking with greed..
At that moment, I lower myself deep into the drainage ditch..
Volcanic eruption erupts again soon.
“Bell!”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
1,000 degrees, trillions of tiny pieces of glass, 400 kilometer per hour hot air.
And terrible radiant heat and fierce shock waves swept tens of meters in the direction of launch..
The second explosion turned more than 10,000 locusts into charcoal..
The bell immediately prepared for the third bombardment..
“Bell! Drop drops!”
I opened my big mouth wide..
Podongi, who was preparing, furiously dug up the ground..
The dirt that was scooped into the air while digging went straight into Baeulgi’s mouth..
Swallowed. digested.
Loading for the third explosion has been completed..
“preparation!”
Daeeeeng!
resonant sound.
A swarm of locusts gathering fiercely.
A powerful firing signal.
“now!”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Fire, eat dirt, sound the pot, gather, fire again..
It was a cog in the merciless storm of complete extermination..
Hamang also joined in and set a trap..
“Hamang, now!”
“Hamang!”
Kkukkukkuk, phuwaak!
Hamangi, who was waiting, jumped into the river beyond the riverbank..
I inhaled river water. I included it as much as possible.
I raised my head.
sprayed.
sky high.
as wide as possible.
More than 100,000 liters of water poured down like a torrential rain at once..
The successive explosions engulfed the swarms of locusts that were startled and trying to escape. I wet my wings. They crashed..
At that moment, Lloyd stood up..
Javiel also drew his sword..
A heavy earth rumbling came rushing from the west..
“here! Don't forget our spear knives too.!”
Too doo doo doo……!
500 cavalry equipped with pure white barding and armor appeared..
The White Lancers, the direct army that the king had promised support, had finally arrived..
They came like a tidal wave.
A lance shining in pure white was at the forefront..
swept away the swarms of locusts that fell to the ground.
Trampling with hooves, piercing with lances, and penetrating the ranks of the locusts all the way to the rear..
After that, Lloyd and Haviel's shovels and swords flashed..
Throwing a bet!
Lloyd's Triple Blast.
Javiel's precise continuous blasting.
A storm of destructive mana swept away the remaining locust swarms..
The pheromones of fear spread like an epidemic among the remaining locust swarms..
They spread their wet wings.
I kicked the ground to escape..
As if to welcome those guys, a volcanic eruption was once again shot into the sky like an aimed shot..
“Bell!”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The fierce blast of volcanic debris spread over the territory like a mushroom cloud..
♣
‘……It was a spectacular day..’
Moments of yesterday that were tense and filled with a sense of crisis..
It was probably an eradication operation that, if xSCO employees had seen it, they would have burst into tears and applauded with emotion..
‘I'm glad you succeeded.’
The plan he came up with.
The reckless attempts made to carry out the operation.
Thanks to everything coming together well, everyone was able to survive..
The territory was saved from crisis..
So I put my thoughts aside and kept walking..
We arrived at the baron's mansion just as the sunset was disappearing beyond the western horizon..
The baron's mansion is in disrepair, everywhere eaten by locusts..
It looked like jeans that had been deliberately torn by a fashion designer with a bad personality..
“Still, I'm glad it didn't collapse. If you had been a little late yesterday, I'm sure we wouldn't have been able to leave this mansion at all..”
As I was looking up at the mansion for a while, I heard a loud voice..
I looked around and saw that a maid was waiting in front of the front door to meet me..
I think I was about 6 years old.
She is a girl with impressive freckles..
A maid who mainly serves the baroness.…….
“Emily?”
“Yes, master. The lady sent me to take the master to the restaurant when he arrives..”
“Uh, yeah.”
What is so good about that maid?.
Am I happy with this situation that guides me?.
Even though he's leading the way, he looks like he's smiling the whole time..
So it was a little awkward.
‘I'm not used to being treated like this again and again..’
I was never welcomed anywhere in Korea..
At least it's been that way since my parents died..
But it's different here.
Wherever you go, they call you ‘young master’ or ‘young master’..
Everyone looks at me with respect and gratitude, saying that they survived thanks to this side, that this side saved the territory..
Like that girl who walks ahead and often looks back with a smile on her face..
“Hey, actually, master.?”
“uh?”
“I started embroidering today..”
“number? What can you do?”
“cross stitch.”
“Uh, yeah.”
“I plan to include great content..”
“Oh, is that so?.”
“yes. That looks really cool. It's the coolest thing I've ever seen..”
“Hmm, how cool does that look?.”
“This is how you took risks for everyone yesterday..”
“……gagging.”
I almost heard a joke..
But Emily, the maid walking ahead of me, didn't know whether she knew what was going on here or not, but she only kept talking about me..
“Actually, I was really scared yesterday..”
“Um, did you?.”
“yes. I thought I was going to die. Here, at the top of the stairs.”
“here?”
“yes. I was surrounded. To a swarm of locusts.”
“I must have wanted to pass out..”
“But then the master appeared..”
“……Ugh, I'm hungry. let's hurry.”
I'm dying of embarrassment.
Lloyd walked faster..
I tried to walk to the restaurant first, passing Emily..
But that was then..
“Hey, so, master..”
Emily's voice came from behind as if she was grabbing my sleeve..
And without any time to reply, I bowed my head..
“thank you.”
“…….”
“You saved me. Thank you. You saved my brother and my grandmother, too. She is a lifesaver, master.”
“Is that so?.”
“yes. Please enjoy your dinner..”
“okay. thanks.”
There is no solution in the face of sincerity expressed so honestly..
After finishing what she had to say, Emily runs away with a bright red face..
Lloyd smiled bitterly at that sight..
It was that moment.
Ding dong.
[You have shown heroic courage and determination in taking risks for all the people of the Barony of Frontera and the Vichy of Lacona..]
[The residents of both territories are deeply impressed by this and are praising you..]
[A new tribute has been created for you.]
