I can see emperor stats-Chapter 34

first mission

A few months had passed since Julius' declaration ceremony in the northern part of the country, which had a lot of talk and no mask.

'It's going well so far.'

First of all, what changed after the ceremony was the change in the atmosphere of the articles dealing with him.

Of course, the northern knights are loyal to the imperial family's orders.

However, admiring it and following it in the heart was a different matter, but the relaxed appearance that Julius showed throughout the ceremony left a strong enough impression on them.

'I don't think His Highness the Prince came simply to make a mark.'

'Are the knights who came with you adapting well? Sir Haines, in particular, seems like a good person and a hard worker.'

Besides Julius, the one who stood out was, of course, Sir Haines. He is a person who took an elite course with his talent, but he is also a talented person who bumped into the wall of being a commoner.

Of course, there was a part where he got along with the northern knights, and he himself has a very sad personality, so there is no way the evaluation is bad.

'Your Highness, did you rest well last night?'

'Sir Haynes, shall we sparring together today?'

Unlike the first time they entered Valdes Fort, they were greeted with a fairly mild atmosphere.

So is Marquis Andersson. He was satisfied with the report on Julius from Lord Linfield today as well.

“As expected of someone who completed military studies at the Savior Academy, he was very quick to understand. You will soon be able to carry out your duties as a squad leader.”

"hmm… … .”

The Marquis reads the report several times with a satisfied expression before asking a question.

“Where would be the best place for His Highness's first mission?”

Lord Linfield ponders for a moment as if pondering, and then expresses his opinion.

“In my personal opinion, the Rocky Forest on the west side of the mountain range is a good choice. If you see barbarians from the first mission, you won't be in a very good mood.”

"That's exactly what I thought, you pointed it out."

Fort Valdes is located on the northern front line and serves as the commander's tower for the Knights.

There were two threats lurking in the north, and the first was the invasion of barbarians.

Since the completion of the road linking the central and northern parts of the country, several pioneering villages have been entering, and barbarians, who frequently invade for the purpose of plunder, were seen as the biggest threat to these villages.

The second threat was monsters and spirits.

I don't know if it's because the northern part is surrounded by mountains, but there are a lot of monsters, and unusually, powerful individuals that have stayed for a long time and evolved into spirit beasts often appear.

Invasion of normal monsters could be managed by placing thick fences and guards in the village, but in Yeongsu's case, knights had to be dispatched.

Of course, to prevent such a thing from happening in the first place, he periodically patrolled the places where monsters appeared and reduced the number of monsters, but this was the mission he was entrusted to Julius.

“His Highness's martial arts are outstanding. Even in the case of Lord Haines, who accompanied me, he had few opponents here as he was a Royal Guard knight.”

In Lord Linfield's opinion, there would be little threat to Julius as long as the monsters were cleaned up.

“Then, is it my decision?”

Marquis Andersson gives a final request to Lord Linfield while rubbing his large hands like the lid of a pot.

“Anyway, there are what-ifs. Please take good care of His Highness the Prince.”

“Is it possible?”

Thus, Julius' first northern activity was decided.

'It's a monster subjugation... … .'

“I was bored because I had been shut up for a few months and was only getting education, but it turned out well.”

Julius got up while pretending to be happy. In fact, he wanted to get in touch with the northern immigrants and find out what Nuada was up to, but he couldn't get enough of the first drink.

As he slowly builds meritorious deeds, the Marquis, no matter how princely he may be, will gradually entrust him with more important tasks.

“How is the organization going?”

“It seems that I will be in charge of the divisional commander of the twenty or so knights centered around Her Highness.”

Lord Linfield is scratching his head shyly here.

“In fact, in terms of skills, Lord Haines is superior to me, but the Marquis seems to have given me a high regard for the fact that I am knowledgeable in geography in the north.”

“What do you mean? You don't have to worry about me or Sir Haines, since the northern part is still nothing short of a new chick.”

Lord Haynes also nodded his head willingly, as if he liked Lord Linfield's humble attitude.

“I also felt that I could not assist Your Highness on my own. I can trust Lord Linfield.”

No matter how much they follow the chain of command, the knights are also completely unmanned.

It wouldn't be very pleasant to go under the rank of a soldier lower than himself as a knight, but Sir Haines didn't care too much.

“Thank you Lord Haynes for your consideration.”

'As expected, Sir Linfield is a necessary talent for me. He should gradually build up more likes.'

Listening to the heartwarming conversation between the two, Julius also made up his mind once again.

Once the formation was decided, preparations for departure were made in an instant.

"Looking at Your Highness' skills and the knights accompanying you, there's no danger, but you still have to be careful."

“Thank you for the consideration of the Marquis.”

After a brief greeting, Julius finally left with his first mission in the North.

The organization consisted of 20 talented knights selected after careful consideration by the marquis, and about 500 soldiers. In fact, compared to the difficulty of the mission, it can be said to be a fairly safe choice.

As it was his first mission, it was the Marquis' consideration to solve it successfully and come.

Rocky Forest is a fairly wide forest located approximately four to five days away from Fort Valdes.

“The monsters that appear most often are ice trolls. Other than that, there are goblin colonies and occasionally a small number of ogres roaming around. oh!"

Lord Linfield's words cut off momentarily. After a day or so of her journey to the Rocky Forest, she finally encountered a group of monsters.

“Kreur… … .”

'Since it's the first time for the prince to actually fight, I'll have to take command.'

“Wedges!”

“Kieek!!”

However, before Linfield could even give an order, Julius's sword cut off the arm of the monster that was attacking from the front.

Julius then gave orders to the knights in a calm tone.

“Are you an ice troll? Since he has excellent regenerative power, divide the knights into two and draw attention, then cut his neck with a single knife or aim for his head!”

'This is an appropriate response!'

Linfield, quite surprised inside, dodges the ice troll's attack and cuts off his leg with his sword.

No matter how great a troll's regenerative power is, if it cuts deeply, quick recovery is impossible. While his movements slowed down a bit, Sir Haines pierced his head from behind at once.

Other knights are also veterans who have gone through a lot of practical experience.

As they divided into groups, the group of ice trolls, which numbered 20, became cold corpses and lay on the ground before they knew it.

“I was really surprised by Your Highness' quick judgment.”

“I just remembered the characteristics I saw before in the monster encyclopedia.”

Julius answered with an insignificant expression and hurried on his way.

In this way, the squad led by Julius fought quite a bit before arriving near the Loki Forest, but arrived safely without a single casualty.

'I heard that Your Highness has no experience in actual combat, but his commanding ability is surprisingly excellent.'

The knights, including Linfield, couldn't help but be quite surprised.

Of course, as they were entrusted with escorting the prince, they were quite elite knights, but whenever a monster appeared, Julius' command as the squad leader was quick and reasonable.

Is it shocking that Lord Linfield, who has been active as a squad leader in the North for several years, is so admirable?

'Here, first of all, I have to appeal to my commanding ability.'

In this first mission, Julius did not intend to reveal his powerless part too much.

What he wanted was contact with the northern immigrants, and in order to do so, he had to go as a commander in a larger battle leading his troops than participating in such a small mission.

'In order to do that, it's faster to be recognized for your ability as a commander rather than personal military force.'

It's a pity that Julius's commanding ability was a great general like Devan, but it was quite good for an emperor because he had been in the field so much in his previous life.

In particular, activities with these small elites are quite familiar. It probably won't take long for Marquis Andersson to reach the standards he wants.

“This is Rocky Forest.”

“Today, then, we can camp here.”

A few tents were quickly set up.

If you go around the Loki Forest and clear up a few large groups of monsters, Julius' first mission will be completed.

However, the intention of Julius, who ordered the camp this time, was far from rest.

'It's about time to grab the tails of the rats.'

Julius sneaks out of the barracks in the middle of the night and checks to see if all the knights except for the watchman are sleeping.

“Whoa.”

Coincidentally, the watchman at that time was Lord Linfield.

“You look tired.”

"oh! Your Highness the Prince, you showed a shameful side of yourself.”

"no. It's a lot of hard work to assist me.”

Julius, who had been talking with Lord Linfield on the excuse of not being able to sleep, got up.

“Before I go to sleep, I should go over to the lake and wash myself for a while.”

“Alone is dangerous. I escort... … .”

'I'm sorry, but I'm going to sleep for a while.'

"huh?"

puck!

Julius stuns Lord Linfield in an instant, then begins to distance himself from the camp with a rapid leap.

The reason why he had to faint Lord Linfield was that, if he had the sense of a knight, there was a fear that his actions would be discovered no matter how far he spread his distance.

'It's no problem if it's a regular soldier.'

It is impossible for ordinary soldiers to notice that Julius is moving while using Counter-Return.

In the meantime, he spreads his signs appropriately, making it easier for those he wants to find his traces.

'At this level, I won't be able to hear even if I fight.'

Julius shouts after stopping in a clearing in the forest where there is nothing.

“How about coming out soon?”

Skip.

As if waiting for those words, black figures were gradually appearing in the forest.

The number seems to exceed twenty at least. The fact that no one except him knew that this amount of people were following Julius and the others, it was an amazing concealment.

'I'm an assassin no matter what! You look like you're walking around shouting.'

Julius clicked his tongue and drew his sword.

Monsters covered in pitch-black masks and black cloaks except for their eyes!

They were a group that suffered greatly in his previous life.

At least it is almost impossible to catch them as they are determined and tailing them, unless it is a superhuman level drone.

“Is it the Archduke? Or Wallace?”

Despite Julius' question, the black monsters silently surround him and approach him without saying a word.

'I don't think it's possible to dig out something by asking again?'

Srrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Dozens of monsters surrounding him draw their swords first. It was a curved half-moon sword that warriors in the southern desert enjoyed using.

Chae Chaeng.

The sword of Julius and the half-moon sword of the monsters sparked and made a friction sound.

In an instant, dozens of battles collided, and it was the monster's side that shed blood first. Three or four monsters lay on the ground spraying blood.

The head of the monsters, who was watching the situation from afar, raises his hand in silence.

“… … .”

Each of the monsters' attacks seemed simple at first glance, but they were elaborately interlocked attacks by the majority to pressure the minority.

Breaking it so easily means that the target's skill is beyond expectations.

'Insert the second group.'

The fact that the chief raised his hand meant that. Their true fear begins now.

The eyes of the monsters who surround him are filled with a blue miasma. There is no retreat for them as long as orders are given.

Hey profit!

If it had been a weapon-to-arms confrontation until just now, this time I jumped in without hesitation to block his movements.

'I have to know that it's persistent.'

Julius's sword moves with dazzling speed.

No matter how many, it is actually a suicide act to run at an opponent with a stage gun in front of an opponent with a much higher level than oneself.

Every time his sword moves, the monster's corpse increases one by one.

However, that was exactly what the monsters were aiming for.

Dozens of blue lines protruding from the forest surround him in an instant before Julius can even retrieve the sword that took care of the last attacking monster.

The trajectory of the line was twisted into a net at lightning speed, and then wrapped around Julius in an instant.

'This is the end.'

The leader of the monsters is confident of victory in his heart.

That net is a special product prepared by his church to deal with unmanned people above a certain level.

The force-injected net, which is tougher than most steel, is difficult to cut off at once, even if you are a master-class soldier.

I can't even count how many outstanding warriors have been caught in this surprise trick and gone to the other world!

'Seeing that he lured us in on purpose, he seems quite confident in his skills, but with this... … .'

Whoops!

“… … !?”

However, completely contrary to the leader's expectations, the net does not entwine around Julius and is torn apart with an explosion of alcohol.
