Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 175 Chapter

56 Iron Wall (3)

Black Monster.

Sylvain has not fought against them yet, but just by touching them, the monsters outside have become noticeably stronger.

It’s easy to imagine how fierce they will be. Are they going to keep increasing and catch up with the monsters outside?

If the information is true.

“Then what should I do?”

Is it possible to block all that many enemies?

What if flying monsters and black monsters join the war, and more than five times the number of troops so far attack?

Tactics are meaningless given the overwhelming difference in troops. I don’t know if I can prepare for several days or months, but right now.

However, Frontier’s face as he delivered the shocking news was still calm. Or rather, his face even showed some worry.

I was worried about seeing how Sylvaine would feel upon hearing this news.

Sylvain: Since when did you become so weak that you have to worry about a boy like this?

“Frondier, do you have any thoughts? “Is there a solution to overcome this situation?”

Frondier quietly nods his head at those words. Sylvain could not understand this seemingly natural movement.

“…Is there a solution? how?”

“What I’m trying to do is not that different from what you’ve been doing so far.”

“What were you doing?”

“Yes, capturing the enemy commander.”

At those words, a glimmer of hope appeared in Sylvain’s eyes.

Yes. From the beginning, when so many troops were gathered, he predicted the presence of an enemy commander. And while heading back along the enemy’s path, they returned to the message ‘Beware of ambush’ sent by Frontier.

Such a large number cannot easily change places. They’ll still be at that rendezvous point.

“The reason they gather together is because they have a commander. No matter what means used, the reason why the monsters outside come together is because there is something that controls them. If so, the cause must be eliminated.”

“…if you can break it.”

“Even if they don’t gather and a large number of monsters attack the wall, they will be able to stop them. “It may take longer than last winter.”

Yes. The Roach Knights and soldiers can deal with monsters that have not been planned for. As long as all the monsters don’t attack the barrier at once, there is a chance of victory.

“You know its location? Their gathering place? What is the cause of the gathering?”

“That’s right.”

“Good! Then, me and the Knights of Roach will move there tomorrow.”

Sylvain blushed and said. It seemed like a very hopeless situation until a little while ago, but I thought that since Frontier had a lot of information, things might be resolved easily.

But this time Frondier shook his head.

“Captain, you cannot go there. The same goes for all knights.”

“Why can’t I go?”

“Because the enemy would have noticed. “Didn’t the leader and the knights try to head to the rendezvous point and then return?”

Ah, Sylvain remembered that time. The time when we cut off their tails and retraced their path.

“I don’t know if you will believe me, but there really was an ambush there.”

“…I see. “They say we didn’t get caught in an ambush, but does that mean their movements have already been detected?”

“yes. So, starting the next day, they will launch an all-out offensive. So that there is no room for us to act separately like the leader or the knights.”

Sylvain could not deny those words.

The reason Sylvain was able to move separately with the knights at that time was because he was able to properly estimate Ampere’s strength and the amount of monsters.

If the next enemy force is as enormous as Frondier said, the Roach Knights will also have to do their best to block the barrier. If the barrier is breached, the enemy will gather and it will be meaningless.

“I don’t know if you and the knights are an assassination unit specializing in hiding, but that’s not the case. “You are the pillars of this defense wall and an iron wall that must never be breached.”

“…Yes.”

Since they are heading to their gathering point, they are high-quality manpower that is indispensable to the defense wall, but even if you pack the right people, you will not be able to reach the gathering point.

There Sylvaine realized what Frondier was trying to say. Why even bring up the story in a place where no one is listening.

“I have to go there.”

“…!”

I knew Frontier would say this, but when I heard it myself, the reality it pointed to quickly became heavy.

Although he is said to be an incompetent slacker, it seems that Frondier’s laziness was caused by some kind of intervention, just as Ampere had predicted. There’s no way Frontier, who I heard rumors about, would say something like this.

“Are you asking me to help you get over the barrier?”

“Just being able to avoid surveillance at the accommodation is enough.”

Sylvain covered his eyes with his hands. The front became dark. That was true both in reality and in feeling.

“…Can not be done.”

Sylvain thought about it quite deeply, but this answer was already decided.

Sylvaine knows nothing about Frontier. Currently, he is neither a soldier nor a knight, but the only person capable of fighting without participating in the barrier battle. That’s what I think.

I thought it was because of that position that Frontier made this suggestion.

If Frontier heads to their gathering place alone, there are already numerous enemies there. Even if the cause of the gathering can be easily resolved, there is no way they will leave Frontier alone.

Besides, isn’t Frondier the son of the family head? Ampere had already asked him not to participate in the battle at the wall, and in Sylvaine’s eyes, Frondier had a talent for fighting, but he was still a rookie. I was not equipped to fight the monsters outside.

It would be impossible to attack a place with a large number of monsters alone.

But other than these little things, the biggest reason is

“You are too young.”

“….”

No matter how strong Frontier is, whether he is the head of the family or something.

In Sylvain’s eyes, Frondier is too young.

Are you pushing a child, who is not even an adult, against your back because of a glimmer of hope? This is something no sane knight would do.

“…if we succeed, we could save a lot more lives.”

“What does that mean?”

Sylvain’s voice sank deeply. I couldn’t ignore what Frontier said just now.

“One life saves many. Only the emperor makes such decisions. I didn’t become a knight to make calculations like that. “I didn’t become a knight commander and carry their lives on my shoulders just to make a child die.”

A cow is sacrificed for the greater good. If that had been possible a long time ago, Sylvaine would not have become a knight.

“I became a knight to save children like you. So I can’t let you go.”

“…many people will die.”

“I am the only one who dies.”

Sylvaine’s eyes brightened. The temperature of that light was cold.

“I will sacrifice my life and kill them all.”

That was not just a determination; it was truly a statement filled with life. Hearing those words, Frondier closed his eyes for a moment.

I thought it would be like this. Sylvain is too loyal as a knight.

What is scarier than anything else is that Sylvain, Ampere, and the Roach Knights might really be able to stop it.

──But they will die.

The lives of the Knights of Roach will be scattered over the walls to save the lives of citizens.

It will probably be difficult for Ampere to be safe as well.

‘It’s so difficult.’

Saving people.

The more solid a person’s beliefs are, the more difficult it is to persuade them.

So there is nothing we can do.

“Then I can’t help it.”

“okay. Thanks for the information. “I will inform the knights and the head of the family in advance so they can be thoroughly prepared.”

“I’ll just get over the barrier on my own.”

Frondier said that and laughed.

At those words, Sylvain opened his mouth and said, “Huh.”

“…What now…?”

“I asked you to help me sneak out, but you refused, so I have no choice. Even if I get caught, I will leave the dormitory and cross the barrier.”

“Do you think I’ll just wait and see?”

“You’ll have no choice but to wait and see. “At that time, the leader will be busy chopping up monsters.”

Sylvain looked at Frondier, who was smiling shamelessly.

As Frondier said, by the time he leaves the dormitory, Sylvain will already be at the wall. Of course, leaving would never be allowed, and Sylvain himself would have no intention of doing so.

“…Do you really want to die that much? Frontier.”

Sylvaine looked at Frondier with a truly strange feeling.

How can Frontier smile like that?

Despite Sylvain’s dissuasion, he smiles shamelessly and tries to cross the barrier and go to a dangerous place.

“You will not die.”

“…!”

Frondier said, hiding a little loneliness in that smile.

“I have too much homework left behind to die in a place like this.”

* * *

“…Whew.”

Sylvain was troubled in his private office.

-You need me to stop this situation.

Frontier said so. There was no confidence or anxiety in that voice. It was dull, as if I was reading passages from some book.

It is true that it unintentionally gave Sylvain some trust

– but how can you prevent this situation?

-I can’t tell you that.

In the end, since no detailed information is given about what to do, Sylvaine naturally gets a headache.

‘Just let it go.’

Now Frondier is stranded by Ampere. Even now, several employees are stationed at his lodgings under the watchful eye of Frondier in the name of taking care of him.

There are probably more people watching him than Frontier himself knows.

Of course, if Sylvaine is there, it will be easy for Frondier to leave the dorm. If you move Frondier’s ‘temporary residence’ in the name of personal training, the users will let Frondier go without any suspicion. Above all, it is an order from the knight commander.

However, Sylvain has no intention of doing so. That little child alone on the other side of the wall? How is this any different from just telling them to die?

But they say that if I don’t help them, they will attack me on their own, so what kind of embarrassing situation is this? Are you really crazy about wanting to die?

‘What on earth does that confidence mean?’

What Frontier showed was beyond confidence. ‘I’ll sit on the chair now.’ It was a tone that seemed to declare something like that. Do you even know what you’re talking about? Even if it doesn’t seem like it, is that another kind of ‘madness’?

But unless it’s madness.

There is a clear reason for that calm tone.

‘What is this guy?’

If you think about it, it’s a strange thing.

Even when I heard about Frontier from Ampere, I thought it was a rather strange fate. There might be divine intervention. What on earth could I do to make the gods hate me?

Plus that crow. It was an incredible timing skill. In addition to being able to scout and report from afar, he speaks fluently and is very smart. I’ll have to test many things to find out, but from what I’ve seen, it’s comparable to humans.

Based on my training, my sense in battle is not bad, and in addition, I have the judgment to gather information and come to a conclusion, and the resulting composure, and an uncanny level of calm even while risking death.

‘…yes.’

As I thought about it carefully, I remembered it. Frontier said he went to Tavern the previous summer. I heard that he also participated in the battle of the wall there. No matter how summer it is, fighting on the wall is a matter of risking one’s life.

Since I returned safely from a place like that, I’m sure I have something to show.

Sylvain took out his phone. I called my old colleague.

‘Do you want to go back to the center?’

It seems like just yesterday we were bragging about each other’s knights every day.

-…hello? Sylvaine?

Soon a longing voice was heard.

“Sanders.”

The person Silvain called was Sanders.

Sanders, commander of the Knights of the Shroud. It was he who took temporary command of the knights there when Frondier headed to Tavern.

-what’s the matter? It’s been a while.

“How are you?”

The two briefly asked each other about their current situation. Since we had not been in contact for a long time, it was a natural trend.

But that didn’t last long. Because Sylvain was in such a hurry right now.

“So, Sanders. “Did you ever meet a boy named ‘Frondier’ when you were at Tavern?”

Sylvain had no expectations as he spoke. Frontier must have been one of many people there at the time, and there’s no way Sanders would remember him

– of course! You mean Frontier de Roach?

Surprisingly, Sanders remembered correctly. Besides, I think I heard a name that was nice.

“…ah? hmm. okay. “I’m talking about that frontier.”

Silvain appropriately explained the situation to Sanders. I couldn’t explain too much, but simply conveyed the nuance that Frondier was trying to do something dangerous and that it was reckless.

Sanders, who was quietly listening, spoke.

-Do it. Whatever it is.

“…what?”

Sylvain wondered if he had heard wrong.

“You mean he’s a boy who isn’t even an adult yet? “He’s trying to walk into a limb!”

Sylvain now tried to persuade Sanders.

Is that something that should come out of the mouth of a knight? Sanders.

-ha ha ha.

But this time, Sanders even laughed.

-I don’t know what Frontier is going to do, but just leave it alone. No, it would be better if you actively help.

“her…?”

Have people changed? Did I dial the wrong number?

Sanders Sanders is correct.

There, Sanders said one more thing.

-In a little while, you will shed tears and be thankful to me and to Frondier.
