The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 366

10.
The barbarians blocking the front gate of the academy.
Hubert made a puzzled expression at the appearance of a completely unexpected existence, Ulan..
At that time, Jade, the mage, the representative of the Mage Tower, who lent the monocle, spoke to me..
“what would you like?”
“I should try to talk.”
It's not like they blocked the front door for no reason. If you have something to say, you must do it..
After guessing the situation.
Jade used magic to increase her voice for smooth conversation. After a while, a loud voice came out of Hubert's mouth..
“I am a nobleman of the Ruben Empire, Marquis Hubert Dune Agnes. Can you tell me your names, identities and affiliations??”
Rigid but somewhat soft tone.
It had to be. Arsene Academy was Hubert's alma mater. In other words, they could be Hubert's distant juniors..
“Arsene Academy's Ulan Batoryo.”
Then came the cry from Ulan.
A very short introduction. Judging by his appearance and voice, he was presumed to be a cadet, not a professor. Either both or an outsider.
‘Wait, it's Ulan.?’
Then Hubert's eyebrows twitched..
It was because the name Ulan was somehow familiar. Where did you hear it? I thought about it for a while, but couldn't remember exactly..
So, after stopping the flashback, I started talking to Ulan again..
“We are currently carrying out our mission according to the Huang Ming. If you have no other business, I advise you to leave without blocking the entrance..”
As long as the word "Hwangmyeong" is mentioned, there is only one action they must take..
to walk away smoothly. If you don't, it means turning the Empire into an enemy..
So Hubert leisurely waited for them to back off. However, the answer that came back was quite different from what he expected..
“I will refuse.”
“······what?”
“You can't pass through here. Wait here until the work is done..”
He went beyond not leaving his seat even after hearing the word imperial, this time he even gave orders to Hubert and the imperial army to wait..
An answer far beyond expectations.
Hubert looked at Ulan, unable to erase his blank expression. Then, suddenly, Jade came to her side..
“Marquis, please look at this.”
“what is this?”
“This is a list of people involved in the monster commotion that came down with Hwangmyeong..”
To be precise, the document that came down from the Mage Tower.
There was a list of the beings who supposedly summoned the monster from the fountain of magic..
eight names in total.
The appearance and characteristics of each existence are also described so that it is easy to recognize at a glance. And the moment he confirmed this, Hubert nodded his head..
‘Where did you see the name?······.’
I must have seen it here.
Hubert picked out of the eight lists the ones who matched the three men and women in front of him the most. What was written there was:.
[Red-Haired Barbarians, Ulaanbaatar.]
[The black-haired girl, Noah Darschen.]
[Cat Man Hunter, Sven Isaac.]
Appearance and features that match the document at a glance.
Hubert's eyes narrowed. Then Jade, who was watching the documents together, spoke up..
“Wouldn't it be nice to suppress?”
“Well, I guess I should..”
I don't mind using force against the cadets, but if they're the ones who summoned the monsters, it's best to subdue them with force..
Having made a decision, Hubert gestured toward the knights. The knights who recognized the signal immediately moved to carry out their mission..
“It is the Marquis' order.!”
“to capture them alive!”
Knights kicking the ground and rushing.
But at that moment, an angry arrow flew through the wind. As if anticipating this situation, the knights raised their shields to block the arrows..
I originally thought so.
but it didn't turn out the way i thought.
“······!?”
The moment I blocked the arrow with my shield.
An intense shock wave was generated and at the same time, an enormous force pressed them down. Indeed, the knights were knocked down by the considerable power..
“Heck!”
“wow, what kind of arrow······.”
The power was strong enough to be said to have been hit by a log rather than an arrow. Around the time when the faces of the knights had a look of bewilderment.
“what is this now!”
Angry cries reverberated through the hall..
It was Hubert's voice. He crumpled his face and shouted at the shooter..
“Don't you know what it means to touch the knights who accompany the emperor? Your actions are tantamount to turning the Empire into an enemy.······.”
But he couldn't even speak.
It was because when I was about to continue my anger, the scenery suddenly changed in the blink of an eye..
──────!
The cutting sound that followed).
With the sound of cutting something with a blade, a loud noise soon followed..
thud! Whoops! thud!
The identity of the sound that accompanied the vibration of the ground was the sound of nearby trees falling to the floor. Trees cut down neatly. The number reached dozens of trees..
“what, what······.”
what just happened?
Hubert looked around as if he was dumbfounded. Soon, he couldn't help but be startled..
It was because Ulan, who had been in front of the main gate of the academy just a little while ago, had already come close to the imperial army..
and one more.
There was a reason I couldn't help but be surprised.
“······!”
Two axes in Ulan's hands.
It was because of the red aura that wrapped around it..
Hubert and the knights, who realized this belatedly, widened their eyes without anyone saying anything first..
“Oh come! come!”
“······master's realm!”
Techniques that close the gap in the blink of an eye.
Furthermore, an aura that cuts even a thick log in one blow. All are symbols of Master. This means that Ulan's true identity is the Master..
and at that moment.
Hubert's eyes widened..
‘Wait, if it's Ulaanbaatar······!’
because I just remembered.
Where did you hear the name Ulan?.
It's a name I heard by chance about half a year ago in the military department of the Empire. With the word that a monster appeared in the academy.
‘0class management target.’
A monstrous existence that reached the level of a master at the age of seventeen. As a result, a person who was naturally designated as a level 0 management target.
That existence was Ulaanbaatar.
When I was reminded of the memories I had forgotten, Ulan pursed his closed lips..
“This is the only warning.”
“uh, what do you say······.”
“I can't guarantee my life next time.”
bright red eyes.
Hubert and Jade swallowed dry saliva. It's because I was overwhelmed by Ulan's spirit..
After a while, Jade, who had slowly distanced herself from Ulan, said with a pale face..
“Marquis, what to do with the master now······.”
“you know close to crazy.”
thousands of soldiers.
There were dozens of knights and wizards, but this number could not match the Master..
Besides, Ulan isn't the only one blocking the front door. From the Myoin tribe that shoots arrows of tremendous power to the girl whose powers have not yet been grasped..
It's too risky to act rashly.
“······I can't help it. have to wait for support.”
“Are you referring to Oh Gum??”
“exactly. Now that Sir Lapidis is coming soon, you just have to wait a little bit. Until then, we'll have to focus on keeping an eye on them..”
“yeah that would be for the best.”
Jade silently nodded..
Immediately after finishing the conversation, Hubert walked towards Ulan's location. Even so, I thought that I couldn't stay still like this..
“We'll give you one last warning.”
“······?”
“The Empire's five swords are about to arrive here soon. If you surrender by then, I promise to forget the rudeness you just showed me..”
After Hubert's warning.
Suddenly, a small laugh was heard from behind Ulan. The voice of the black-haired girl. At this, Hubert asked with his eyebrows twitching..
“Are my words funny??”
“Ahaha, I'm sorry. But maybe the support the Marquis said won't come..”
“what's up?”
Hubert frowned..
It was because the girl's rude words and actions pushed her anger gently. But then, suddenly, someone snatched his arm..
“Marquis! back off!”
It was Mage Jade..
Soon after, he pointed to the amulet hanging from Noah's belt. An amulet that emits bright blue light. Hubert, who discovered this belatedly, shouted with a wary face..
“Dude, what tricks are you playing??!”
“You don't have to be that surprised.”
On the other hand, Noah reacted calmly..
Gently taking out the amulet, she smiled brightly with her blue eyes sparkling..
“It just means that my insurance policy worked..”
Immediately, Noah turned his head..
Her gaze was directed to the north. It was the direction where Ulan and Noah's hometowns were..
11.
Same time, northern part of the empire.
One of the five swords, the Beast Sword (凶劍), Barca Jan Arcadon's manor was in full swing with busy preparations..
It is to dispatch troops to the center according to the mobilization order that came down with the emperor..
“everyone hurry up!”
“If you don't want to sleep on the road, don't procrastinate and move! The sun has already risen in mid-heaven!”
Is it because of hard whipping??
Soon after, the troops were fully prepared. After that, the moment I was about to go up the road to the center after a simple ceremony.
I heard a sound blocking the way of the knights..
“Urgency! It's urgent!”
A soldier who came running in a hurry.
Judging by the clothes, it was presumed that they belonged to the gate guards guarding the north gate..
At this, Bern, the eldest son of Count Arcadon, who was in charge of the expeditionary force's representative, frowned..
“what the heck.”
The ceremony was over, but the candles weren't even lit. Vern, who crumpled his face as if to say that, continued his words with a cold expression..
“From now on, we must move south according to the mobilization order. If it's not important business, tell the other guys······.”
“It's an attack by barbarians.!”
Before Vern could finish his words, the soldier shouted with a pale face. Vern, on the other hand, clicked his tongue as if he had heard an inappropriate comment..
“tsk, what else am I saying.”
I thought it was a large group of monsters, but.
To make a fuss with mere savages. Bern said with a wrinkled face still..
“The number of barbarians is small, so you can solve it with only the troops left in the castle..”
“no! uh, that's a lot. It is an army so large that it cannot be counted.!”
“Hey, what nonsense have you been talking about?······.”
The barbarians are divided into dozens of tribes, making it difficult to unite. Wouldn't it be unknown if the Warchief, who was briefly present hundreds of years ago, returns?.
But at that moment, the complexion of the knights guarding Bern's side hardened one by one..
“Sir, I think you should go..”
“The ground tremor is not serious.”
This is due to the significant vibration felt on the floor..
Bern also noticed this belatedly and followed the soldier to the north gate. After that, the moment he climbed on top of the castle wall and looked in the direction of the snowy mountain.
“······!?”
Bern's eyes widened..
What came into his field of vision was the army of savages who filled the area near the snowy mountains. It was also a large army of tens of thousands..
“me, what is that······.”
An army that is dozens of times larger than the expeditionary force.
Even if all the northern barbarians had gathered, it was a believable sight. Bern, who was watching this blankly, quickly realized the current situation..
“Tell the Count! And the Templars! Block all gates, including the North Gate, right now.!”
“yes, lord!”
The knights moved in perfect order, forgetting even the original purpose of advancing to the center in the face of the barbarian army that appeared out of nowhere..
It was the messenger dispatched from the capital that was embarrassed by this situation. Looking at his eyes, he cautiously spoke to Bern..
“Well, then the mobilization order······.”
“That's fine now!”
Bern shouted harshly. Crumpling his face, he pushed his messenger away in frustration..
“If the northern part is breached, an unprecedented situation will occur in which the barbarians advance all the way to the center! So for the time being, I can't follow the mobilization order.!”
After finishing his work, Bern hurriedly moved to prepare for the savages. The messenger, who lost his words, just stared blankly at Bern..
and around that time.
In front of the snowy mountain, countless savages continued to call their numbers. Like the pouring rain filling up a jar, it continues endlessly.
