Episode 221
Episode 221
The barbarian man became increasingly anxious after learning that Einhortaha had abandoned him.
His already cruel personality became even crueler.
Not long ago, he plucked out the head of a barbarian who complained and complained in front of him and fed it to wild animals.
He said he betrayed his brother.
There were people who laughed at it and said it was ugly, but on the other hand, people who were anxious appeared one by one.
These guys couldn’t believe that the barbarian whose head was pulled out had betrayed their brothers.
I could tell without having to hear it directly. The overall atmosphere was like that.
‘We have to find a way.’
The barbarians will increasingly be driven into a corner.
It was the result of a future that was confirmed the moment Einhortaha abandoned him.
Fortunately, the ‘Snake’s Den’ connected to the cursed land survived.
As long as either entrance is not destroyed, barbarians can continue to be brought in.
‘But I don’t have much time.’
The capital of the Tahorn Kingdom was not completely overthrown. Not only that, but Viscounty Powell could not be overthrown. As a result, the entire Northern Continent felt a crisis and moved. Even if the barbarians are excellent warriors, they cannot fight against tens of thousands of soldiers. Nor should we ignore the different climates of the cursed lands and continents, and the weapons and armor equipped with much more advanced civilizations and technologies.
‘We strike first before they have a perfect system.’
A barbarian man put a piece of bone in his mouth and chewed it.
Crackle-!

Count Schrombel’s plan was simple.
“We are attacking the Viscounty of Roynan, the base of the barbarians.”
“Only by ourselves?”
Jeanne asked, narrowing her eyes.
Didn’t Count Schrombel say that? There are 5 Auror Master level barbarians, 15 Expert levels, and 512 people consisting of upper, middle, and lower levels in the Viscounty of Roynan.
This side also had four master-level players, but the number of enemies was too many. Logan wasn’t even a combatant. Of course, the situation would be much different if the military force called Xeron was included, but not all barbarians were stationed in the Viscounty of Roynan.
“No way. “There are some guys who have already kissed.”
“who?”
“Dad’s friends.”
“… … ‘The Men of Bahel’?”
Jeanne asked with an expression of ‘No way?’
Count Schrombel smiled and nodded.
“okay. They have good skills and above all, they are trustworthy. They say everyone is having fun these days. So, I contacted everyone before I was imprisoned. “Are you planning on going on a rampage?”
“Hmm. “Dad’s old colleagues are those rugged uncles who came to visit us when we were young, right?”
“Oh oh! You remember! “I think they’ll be quite happy, right?”
“… … “I almost got scratched on my cheek because of my rough beard, but there’s no way I wouldn’t remember that.”
“ha ha ha! that’s right. I did. So when they told me they were coming, I went to my room and didn’t come out, and my mom scolded me a lot.”
“ha. I don’t really want to talk about the past. So is this the end for uncles?”
“The first holy sword of the Ionic Church will lead the Holy Knights.”
“The First Holy Sword?!”
Logan, who had been listening all along, shouted in surprise.
The First Holy Sword was a great paladin who possessed both sincere faith and the strongest skills. Just as everyone on the continent looks up to and respects an Auror Master, the same goes for the First Holy Sword. No, to those with faith, he was more revered than the Auror Master.
“Uh oh. That guy is somewhat acquainted with me. “It’s not that I know him as a bad person, but we fought against barbarians together a few times in the past.”
Even Count Schrombel could not treat Logan, the priest, carelessly.
“Anyway, I once saved that nobleman’s subordinates from a crisis, and I received a promise to help them later. “If not at times like this, when would I use it?”
“I heard that the Ionic Church has also dispatched troops. Will there be any problems?”
“There will probably be no problem. “I’ve even talked to the Pope.”
“The Count had a plan.”
Jeron gave a small exclamation.
Count Schrombel’s ability was as outstanding as an onion that can be peeled again and again.
His abilities were so outstanding that I became greedy.
“Do you ever plan on coming to the Kingdom of Orne in the future?”
“If it’s the Orun Kingdom, what about the Central Continent?”
“yes. “I’ll get you a good seat.”
“Hahaha! I appreciate the offer, but I will decline it because it is too hot in the Central Continent. “I’m such a hot guy that I can’t survive anything other than the cool climate of the Northern Continent.”
“That’s too bad.”
“… … “Are you only suggesting this once?”
“I asked because I knew you wouldn’t come.”
Count Schrombel was embarrassed and scratched the back of his head. The braids on the top of the head were clearly revealed.
When Logan and Erdin discovered it, they unconsciously raised their hands to their heads. The two people sighed in relief at the same time and then their eyes met. Smile awkwardly.
“Let’s take a seat nearby and rest.”
As the sun was about to set, we decided to look for a place to make camp. Plains with wide visibility have clear pros and cons. It’s good to spot an enemy approaching and prepare for it, but it’s also good to be surrounded.
I found a place where the trees grew appropriately and installed Mayen’s secret art and Xeron’s magic around it.
I also set a trap just in case.
If a being that cannot be detected by sense or presence crosses the boundary of the secret technique or enters the camp, it will be announced loudly.
“I’ll prepare a meal.”
“I will help.”
Erdin and Logan went first.

This is because the two people’s cooking skills were the best next to Jeroen.
While preparing the meal, the rest of the group set up the tent.
“It’s been a while since I pitched a tent.”
“… … .”
“It was my time. There has never been a better tent like this. All that was available was old military tents made from cloth or sold commercially. When the cold wind blows, it blows in through the holes, and every night, I feel a desire to slit the throats of those sleeping in the new, warm tent to themselves. Well, I really didn’t. How could a mere mercenary be so foolish? “I wasn’t alone, I had subordinates.”
Count Schrombel chattered excitedly.
Jeron, who was pitching a tent with me, covered his ears. May N also couldn’t hide her slightly tired expression. Jeanne, who could not hear her, kicked Count Schrombel’s shin to tell him to be quiet.
He whines like a scolded puppy and closes his mouth. Finally, everyone’s mind became calm. World peace has come.
As the sun completely set, the surroundings became dark. It was so cloudy that not even the moonlight shone through.
Jeron, who had been lying down and looking up at the sky through the tent, woke up.
widely.
climbed up the tree
I sat down on a thick tree branch and took a deep breath.
The cold northern air made my stomach feel refreshed.
‘Three days until the Viscounty of Roynan.’
If you move a little faster, you can reduce this to a day or two. However, the ‘Men of Bahel’ and the First Holy Sword did not arrive. You can fight the barbarians alone, but it takes a lot of time. It was a gamble to blindly choose Musou in a situation where I didn’t know what kind of trick they might have planned.
‘When this incident is over, I will have to return to the Central Continent through the Ionic Empire.’
It was planned to move quickly using the teleport gate.
He helped me a lot, and I think he will allow that much.
As I continued to think about this and that, Einhortaha suddenly came to mind.
‘What is that guy’s real purpose?’
This organization caused several incidents that brought great chaos to the continent. However, there was no specific goal in sight to achieve something. As a Jeron who had experience leading a force, he could not understand.
‘It’s like using consumables.’
The guy was strong.
Even Geron, who has become stronger since fighting Behemoth, has difficulty guaranteeing victory.
He wasn’t even an ordinary human being.
This is not a case where the lifespan is extended by overcoming the limitations of the body like an Auror Master.
‘leather. Yes, it was like putting on leather and pretending.’
If I had any lack of insight or sense of humor, I wouldn’t have noticed. A being covered in human skin. That was Einhortaha’s true identity.
Jeron shook his head and woke up from his deep thoughts.
This is because I felt a presence coming up the tree.
“sit down?”
“I can’t sleep.”
Jeanne said, poking her mouth out. Count Schrombel joined the party, and the time spent with Geron decreased. Now that we were alone, it was a golden opportunity to be alone together, even if only for a moment.
Jeanne naturally sat down next to Jeron.
The conversation didn’t continue, but it wasn’t awkward either.
In fact, it wasn’t a relationship that required exchanging words.
Not in a bad sense, but in a good sense.
“Are you going to the Central Continent after this job?”
“uh.”
Jeron nodded.
Jeanne felt sad for no reason. This was because he had told his father to come, saying he would provide a good place for him, but he had left himself out. Normally I wouldn’t have felt upset, but today I just wanted to complain.
“I see. “I did.”
“hmm? What’s going on?”
“no? why?”
“You’re reacting as if I’m not going with you.”
“ah?”
Jeanne opened her mouth slightly and looked at Geron. For a moment he didn’t understand what was being said. But soon she curled her lips so wide that they seemed to pierce the sky.
“babe.”
“huh?”
“Do you want to try a trick so the sound doesn’t escape?”
“… … no.”
Jeron sensed a sudden surge of anxiety and quickly responded before heading down. The sound of Jeanne clicking her tongue was heard from above her head.
‘Something. Something terrible was about to happen.’
I felt like I knew what that huge(?) thing was, but at least not here.
As I entered the tent, I made eye contact with Count Schrombel, who had a light on in his eyes.
“… … !”
Geron was startled, and Count Schrombel looked at Geron and said,
“If you did something, take responsibility.”
“You haven’t done anything yet?”
“Tsk. He must have been very embarrassed, seeing as how his words were twisted. “It’s all good, but I’m shy.”
Count Schrombel shook his head.
Jeron sighed and lay down.
And then I realized.
No one in the group was asleep.
‘I almost got into big trouble.’
Jeron thought.
‘Everything is according to God’s will.’
Logan offered a prayer of regret.
‘ha. It’s frustrating.’
Erdin sighed.
* * *
The Viscounty of Roynan was a granary.
The reason the barbarians used the Viscounty of Roinan as their base was because of the lack of food. However, when it was time to harvest, the barbarians attacked, and all the farmers either died or fled. As it was the time before harvest, all the stored food had been expelled and there was not much left.
Thanks to this, little by little, the barbarians began to starve.
* * *
“Knock.”
The barbarian warrior fell, screaming in death. There was a sharp spear blade stuck in his neck.
The spear blade was pulled from the neck and attacked another barbarian next to it.
“@#%&@#!”
The guy shouted something, but I couldn’t understand it.
