9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 252
Episode 252
Episode 93. Restoring Seruka (2)
Cog and Igor shook their heads as if they couldn’t do that. But Yuma was stubborn.
“Kantai could be targeted again. And when Igor’s War begins, the Ruscan Principality will be in chaos. Rugal. Put some troops on that nasty bastard. Enough to protect Princess Sebra.”
“Yuma-sama, I want to be with Yuma-sama.”
“I promised to go back when I became a better man! Aang! Not enough yet!”
“You should only take people who can ride in a tulka. I can’t pull the wagon and move as leisurely as I used to.
Cog More than anything else, I am terrified of what Kantai will do if you do something wrong. know? The dog is taller than me.”
Yuma joked, but Cog showed only a sullen expression.
‘In my heart, I want to send everyone to the West and work alone… but
I needed Natalie’s powerlessness, Barlinen’s Artifact, and Sheryl’s healing ability.
Even for Yuma, it was burdensome to move without a colleague in the current situation.
Especially Natalie and Ballinan will never try to separate themselves.
In addition, Yuma was planning to take Randall.
It seemed that five of them, including himself, could travel by tulka. That is, if it is somehow tight.
‘It would be perfect if I could organize a party like Marlon Zecca.’
It was Yuma that reminded me of my friends in the west.
“But Yuma-sama, I…
“Why are you like this? It’s not even the last one. I’m doing well with Kan Tai. I’ll cut Amanjo’s neck right away and go play.”
Even with its huge hull, Kantra’s heart cut through the water faster than most high-speed boats.
Upon arriving in Sylmar, Yuma explained the current situation to Catherine in detail and asked her to return to the West.
“Although I have already sent you a letter, it would be good for you to meet and talk to Master and Your Majesty. We need to find a warlock. Not only Kyle, but the entire West needs to prepare.”
Catherine blinked and stared at Yuma.
“Go back? Are you saying I’m not helpful?”
“Ka1 Seorin and 71■. The mixture itself is of great help to me.”
“Then why are you telling me to go?”
“Because you are the person I cherish the most in the world. It’s too risky. In fact, except for Lord Randell, no one wants to take it.”
“bad guy.”
“yes?”
Katherine waved her hand in amazement. The words that I thought in my heart came out of my mouth without even realizing it.
“no. Are you leaving today?”
“Yes, I plan to move to the central region right away.”
“It feels like the West is solving all the demonic depravity that took place in the East.”
“Now is the time to cooperate regardless of East or West.”
“Haha, I will go back and tell Your Majesty and Father well.
The news of the invasion of demons… the West will be confused for a while.”
“Please.”
Even at this moment, Amanjo’s army would be slaughtering civilians. After confirming Amanzo’s strength and military strength, he had to move as quickly as possible.
“Don’t get hurt and come back. I will be waiting for you.”
“Thank you, ma’am.”
Rugal ordered the two White Swords of the Royal Guard to escort Catherine to the west. Cog took care of the new party’s luggage.
Unlike Cog, who had food and camping gear in his leather bag with an almost weeping look on his face, Igor seemed to have already dispelled his melancholy in that short amount of time.
Anyway, he was the owner of a bright and positive personality.
“Aang! Princess Sebra! I’m coming!”
Katherine slapped Igor on the back and silently helped Cog. It was because he wanted to take care of Yuma’s things himself.
As soon as the bag was ready, Yuma started loading the group into the tool car one by one.
From the back, Randall Seryl Ballinan sat down, and Yuma and Natalie rode in the front.
“Give my regards to Kantai. Igor, go and don’t be fooled and take good care of Princess Sebra.”
“Yes, Yuma. Always be careful.”
“After we kill Lady Catherine and return to the West, Jacques will have dinner at the mansion.”
Tulka left the city in an instant.
‘It always seems like you’re only looking at the back.’
Catherine thought with a bitter smile.
But she was not going to go back and sit still. As Yuma said, he intended to make sure the West was prepared and to seek various ways to support Yuma.
‘I’ll have my father gather the heads of state first and then tell them the seriousness of the situation.’
You don’t have to stay close to Yuma to help.
Katherine thought so and patted the drooping Cog on the shoulder.
* * * Yuma and the others ran down the ten halls toward the center. Tulka looked brisk without a sign of tiredness even after burning five.
“friend. Can we really decapitate Aman Jo with just this number of people?”
“I have to go first, Sir Randall. I guess the key will be how far the Eastern army can push them away.”
“Seeing that they were pushed to the central region in an instant, I think it would be better not to expect it there.”
The best picture was the one-on-one situation between Yuma and Amanzo. However, this was very unlikely.
The party’s destination was Seruka. The small country, famous for its Serucian steel, was situated at the beginning of the Middle East.
Yuma planned to start moving again after grasping the general situation in Seruka. Seruca must have heard the rumors of Lagatino Rollmandi and entered a state of war.
“Since Seruka will be sharing information in connection with neighboring countries, it will be very helpful in understanding the situation in the west and central areas.”
Seruca was historically a country frequently invaded by foreign powers because of Seruca steel. It has the best minerals on earth, but it was a typical small country.
However, no one other than the artisans of Seruca could handle the steel from Seruca. There were many cases in which the invading countries were unable to use Seruca Steel even after obtaining it.
The artisans chose to commit suicide rather than cooperate with the aggressor and make Serukaze weapons.
Each time an artisan dies, the number of Serukase weapons produced each year is noticeably reduced. It was a worldwide loss.
In the end, the neighboring countries recognized Seruca’s independence under mutual agreement, and after Cantra seized power, they could not put even subtle pressure on it. It was the result that the emperors of Cantra cared for Seruka much more than the neighboring countries.
The roads used in the invasion were transformed into trade routes for merchants, and Seruka became the only country in the vicinity that could directly request military support from Cantra.
“You mean we’ll be arriving in Seruka within three days?”
Natalie asked.
“Yeah, that’s right. No matter how fast Amanzo’s forces move, they won’t be able to reach Seruca before Tulka.”
The party was using Igmeseus, the spirit king, as a guide to the East.
The troops led by Ragatino Rollmandi said that they had just entered the central region around the time Yuma and his party departed, so it took at least a month to reach Ser Luca.
The same was true of the reinforcements that Rugal had sent to Seruca.
As soon as Yuma’s party left, Rugal announced the massive invasion of the demons and continued to send reinforcements to the western and central countries.
“Let’s stay here for today and start again at dawn.”
Yuma said as she pulled out the cloth from the bag tied to the tulka. Seryl and Ballinan did the cooking, and Yuma and Natalie set up the tent.
Randell was to flirt with Cheryl. Whenever the party saw Randall like that, they felt very sorry for Catherine’s absence.
After the meal, Yuma learned dual swordsmanship from Randel for three hours every day.
Sleep was made up on the tulka while traveling. Randall stuck out his tongue and said this whenever he taught Yuma.
“I am not a genius! I’m not doing it!”
Yuma understood and mastered the essence of the dual swordsmanship that Randel had studied all his life.
Of course, building up proficiency is a matter that will eventually require time, but Randel felt unfair about that alone.
On the other hand, he was very satisfied with the fact that his adversary was such a monster.
However, Yuma’s mastery of dual swordsmanship wasn’t for the sake of using it against Amanzo right away.
No matter how genius he was, it was impossible to handle twin swords as well as the traditional orthodox swordsmanship in such a short amount of time.
It was a level of training that raised the senses to the last.
“uh? Isn’t that the troop barracks?”
The next afternoon, the group rode a tulka and ran across an open field and encountered an unfamiliar camp. It was a garrison where Seruka’s flag was raised.
“Seruca flag? Something is strange.”
As Yuma’s group approached, the guards at the garrison aimed their bows at them.
“Who are you!”
It was a voice that shrank from the majesty of the ancient wolf. But it wasn’t just Tulka that scared the soldiers.
At a glance, Yuma and Randel could figure out that they were defeated soldiers.
The eyes of the soldiers were full of despair, and the inside of the barracks at first glance was not in good order.
“This is the Yuma Drake of the West. He is carrying out a special mission at the request of Emperor Rugal. Here is Rugal’s seal. Check it out.”
The soldiers whispered among themselves and then called a commander-level article. It was to check the seal.
As soon as the knight saw Rugal’s seal, he brought Yuma and his party into the barracks.
The inside of the barracks was much more miserable than what it looked like from the outside. All the skinny soldiers were lifeless, and the knights only looked disappointed when they saw Yuma and the others.
“I thought you were a reinforcement and liked it…but I’ve heard your name, Yuma Drake. I don’t know why the western baron is carrying out His Majesty’s special mission.”
“Reinforcements will arrive in about a month. But why is Seruka’s barracks here? Could it be that Serucado has already been defeated by Ragatino’s army?”
“It is one month. I don’t know if we can hold out until then. We did not fall for La Gatineau’s army.
They must be just passing through the central region.”
“Then why…?”
“You got hit by an ally. I was attacked by dog puppies who were allies. Chaylan Amell hit us in the back of the head trying to stick to the Lagatineau side.”
Chailan and Amel were neighboring countries of Seruka.
“her. In other words, you were scared and betrayed your allies?”
“Exactly. I’m afraid of Ragatino Rollmandi, who will attack right away, rather than Cantra, who is far away.”
“That is a disgusting story.”
On the other hand, it was a scene where we could see how formidable La Gatineau’s army was perceived as we got closer to the west.
It was understandable, since it started with Hi-Mac and quickly reached the middle section.
As soon as Yuma heard his answer, he remembered the Dragon Horse War before returning.
It was like this even then. As soon as the invasion of the demons began, news of the tribes claiming to be the pawns of the demons and betraying the same humans was heard frequently.
“While we were sending out our troops to build a fence, we were attacked by our allies behind us.
In the first place, they were only placed under Cantra’s control and couldn’t be considered a proper alliance… We were too complacent.”
From the beginning, you will learn humans first, not demons.
Yuma felt bitter and bit the pipe.
