Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 321

Since we had to keep a certain distance from those who moved on the ground, our movement speed was not very fast even though we rode the flying dragon.

I wanted to go out and scout at all, but if I tried to stimulate the orcs in a state where I was not as prepared as I had intended, it would only go wrong and nothing good would happen. I just moved with caution.

And the process involved a flight that lasted much longer than I expected. I can assure you that if it wasn’t for the Spirit’s protection, I would have just jumped off the flying dragon.

But right now Gaho is with you, right? There is no shaking and shock like a horse, so the feeling of a test ride is no joke, but since Gis receives most of the wind blowing from the front, there is no more comfortable trip in the world. Originally, Geese, who had to keep warm only with his clothes, was able to stay warm thanks to me, so it can be said that it is a win-win for both of them.

It must have been half a day since they moved in a big circle over the heads of ground troops like crows hunting for dead bodies. Finding a plausible clearing in the woods, we decided to stop for a meal and rest.

Of course, it was a break, but the commanders had to gather again and have a meeting here. I was really good at it and it wasn’t particularly difficult, but the other four people looked a little tired, probably because of the cold. At least Visquente and Ekatrina, who moved on horseback, were in good condition, but Carl Guls began to melt his hands and feet as soon as he approached the fire.

Hey Lee? She didn’t show it, but she was just as busy warming herself by the bonfire as Carl Gooles. Even the custom-made armor of the flying dragon knight couldn’t block the bloody cold.

Visquente, who had been waiting quietly for the two of them to find some composure and the tremors to subside, naturally looked around and spoke to Heyri.

“The mercenaries still move uniformly because they have experience on the battlefield and on the march, but it is difficult for adventurers to catch up. Rather than a lack of ability, it seems to be a difference in experience.”

“Hmm… I’m sure there are few adventurers who are accustomed to marching. Still, looking at the terrain from above, I don’t think I’ll see a resting place like this for a while. It’s a bit early, but today I set up a camp here and scouted the area with only the dragon knights. I think it will be better.”

Her fingertips trembled slightly from the cold, but her voice was calm. Even her judgment was correct. With two well-intentioned knights taking command, the job became so comfortable that it was impossible to hold back admiration.

There was no problem while coming here and there was no change in the future policy, so the meeting was over. Later, after we finished our meal, we were finally told to gather again to set a night watch, and we dispersed on our own. After I delivered the contents of the meeting to the adventurers, I gathered Asilie, Geith, and Ekatrina to settle down and set up a tent.

Fortunately, the atmosphere didn’t become awkward from the start because we knew each other.

It was because Ekatrina, who heard that Gis and my relationship had been connected from Ogwen, actively began to ask me if I knew anything about my eccentricity.

“Actually, I don’t know much about it, but I did share a feat that would be nice to hear that I’m out of my mind wherever I put it!”

Of course, the only story to come out is skydiving. Of course, I had cut down Delt’s men in my first encounter with Gis, but what elicited a dramatic reaction from Ekatrina was when I jumped from dragon to dragon without any safety device to slit Delt’s head.

“Dae, what kind of mentality…?”

Even while eating the food prepared with Asilie, Ekatrina showed an incredulous reaction, and the more she did, the more Geiss, who witnessed the scene, only raised her nose.

As it was an incident that I consider to be one of my life’s achievements, it didn’t matter until there, but the problem came next.

“Who said no. I’d believe it even if the dangerous things in the world went to Eldmia-sama on their own.”

“In the empire, in order to save the princess…” ” …everyone was surprised to see that he was mentally controlled by a demonic sword. But

suddenly, the face of a demonic sword in the shape of a beast…”

After moving on to the evaluation of Eldmia’s reckless eccentricity after losing the , they joined Asilie and began to grind me to powder.

Suddenly, when I was in the empire, I was in the same position as Siegfried, who became a scapegoat for the friendship between me and Esmue. I had to become Eldmia while stroking Laika for a while without being able to refute.

The eternity-like jolting ended after Ekaterina’s expression suddenly became serious and Asilie’s ears twitched.

“Wait, I’m feeling something strange.”

“Something… I can hear it running.”

I haven’t seen it once or twice, but it’s amazing. How could your senses be as sensitive to earth rumble as an elf’s hearing? Except for the two of them, no one even noticed anything strange… Oh no. Suddenly, the drakes were wriggling as if feeling some anxiety.

“Something’s running… Not even a horse… A wild boar?”

“It’s quite a lot to say…”

First of all, the senses of the two were unconditionally trustworthy, so I reacted this time to the explanation that gradually gained weight while getting up from the seat and gathering equipment.

To be precise, the one thousand and one Eldmia that awakened my fantasy brain reacted simultaneously by triggering a game.

“What the fuck, all swords! Hide behind cover! Orc cavalry!”

If you’re on your way to meet the orc cubs and suddenly hear a sound like a wild boar running, it’s obvious that it’s going to be connected!

Even though I haven’t seen orcs riding anything in this world, I can’t believe that the cubs who call the steppe ran around relying on their own two legs without any mounts.

“Orc cavalryman? What are you saying all of a sudden…”

It’s too much to hope that no one will come out saying something like that. However, there was no reason to get angry because there were an absolute majority of those who reacted almost reflexively to my shouts and moved in search of cover. Above all, the most important flying dragon knights and Gis immediately got on the flying dragon and started preparing to fly away, and the mercenaries began to move in perfect order and form squares.

I asked Asilie and Ekatrina while confirming that the guys who had not responded properly to my shouts were moving hurriedly due to the urgent atmosphere around them.

“Direction?”

“We’re heading in the right direction. But Orc cavalry? This?”

As I was contemplating how to explain to Asilie, who was puzzled and scratching her ears, Yekatrina, who fixed the War Hammer, explained instead of me.

“It’s a wolf, not a horse. I don’t know if it’s fair to call it a wolf, but I’ve seen it a few times in the Westlands.”

“Are you saying that orcs raise demons?”

“The prairie on the other side is rather wide, so even ignorant orcs say that their two feet are limited. After hearing Eldmia’s words, I remember it. ”

Ekatrina didn’t stop explaining, but moved quickly and started hammering at suitable trees around her. Every time she swung a blow that even shattered the iron gate of the castle, trees that were not very tall were smashed and fell, and a barricade was improvised just by running around for a short time.

“It’s so reassuring that I’m about to burst into tears.”

“That’s a funny expression. More than that, Eldmia, how the hell did you know? They’re the ones you wouldn’t see in this neighborhood, right?”

She may have asked a question to satisfy her curiosity, but to me it was a basis for me to be convinced that those orcs really were the ones who jumped from a distance worth several months to the gate.

Cavalry, even for humans, is an expensive class of soldiers. No matter how disorganized the orcs are, you have to be able to raise them. Of course, those guys don’t exist around here, just like Ekatrina said.

“Let’s say it’s knowledge gained from others.”

You can’t say you saw it in a novel. By the time the ground tremor grew loud enough to be felt through the soles of their feet, everyone in the campsite was very nervous as they watched the fully prepared flying dragon knights take off one after another. At the same time as the ground tremor increased, there was also a small resounding sound of rough breathing and growling, obviously of the beast. I could tell that it was running very fast just by hearing the sound. A horse would never run like that through this forest.

“Cavalry fire…! I… eject…!”

Everyone looked up at the cry that echoed faintly from the sky, without saying who was the first. The sight of the fire rising from the top of the four flying dragons falling into the forest like a meteor was a spectacle that could be said to be majestic, but unfortunately, there was no time to enjoy it leisurely right now.

Even the gigantic flames falling across the sky were not enough to dispel the anxiety I felt beneath my feet.

The magic that landed at a little distance created an explosion with an even bigger ground tremor, burning the forest and instantly raising the temperature around it. What followed was the now familiar screams of the orcs, the cries of the beasts, and…

“War!!”

…It was a number of Orc cavalry who appeared through the flames at the end of a non-stop run.
