The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 176

Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 176 Chapter

57 Sacrifice (1)

Selena is now standing in Constell’s stable.

As expected, there were quite a few different types of horses in Constel, where horseback riding took place. I was worried for a moment whether I would be able to find Cassian among them, but that turned out to be unfounded. Just as Frontier said, as soon as she lifted the cloth, a horse approached her. Looking at his appearance, it was clearly Cassian.

However, Selena has not yet been able to ride Cassian.

“Why on earth are you doing this!”

Selena looked at Cassian and shouted in frustration. But Cassian just turned his head away from Selena.

Cassian hasn’t let Selena have his back yet.

‘I’m under suspicion.’

Selena broke into a cold sweat. I understood Cassian’s feelings. She received this cloth and met Cassian according to Frondier’s orders, but there was no way Cassian knew about the circumstances.

Therefore, it is rather suspicious. ‘Why do you have that cloth?’ It seemed like he was looking at Selena with those eyes.

‘Kassian has a good sense of smell. Excellent intelligence means being able to judge information obtained through the sense of smell.’

Selena hid her hands behind her back without realizing it.

‘…Has the smell of blood not gone?’

Selena had a lot more blood on her hands than other students her age. It’s also human blood, not monster blood.

In particular, more people have been killed recently while dealing with Indus’ minions.

Selena didn’t particularly feel guilty about the murders she had committed so far.

Above all, Mangot is a group of revenge demons who dream of one day devouring the continent.

Selena, who was raised in such a place, also let go of feeling sentimental about killing people all in the past.

However, if that action now becomes a hindrance.

Selena would not be able to endure herself if, for some reason, she was unable to carry out her master’s orders, who were waiting for his return.

“I don’t know what you’re really thinking.”

Selena spoke and looked at Cassian. I saw those eyes. I met eyes that were shining too wisely as the subject of words seemed to be trying to read my identity.

“If you don’t hurry up, that person will be in danger.”

okay. Now Selena doesn’t know the situation over there. What happened to the fight at the wall? Did Frondier participate in the battle or had he already crossed the wall? I don’t know anything.

There’s only one thing she knows for sure now.

‘Frondier doesn’t have this cloth right now.’

Selena tightly held the blue cloth she was given.

Without this, Frontier cannot use its full power. Even if we don’t know the exact identity, looking at the fight so far, we can clearly see that this cloth is important to Frondier.

I received it. To bring this Cassian.

He was given a lifeline to protect Frontier.

“It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not. Actually, I like people like you. I don’t know why he gave me this and told me to bring you here. But I don’t ask that. There’s no need to ask. “I just follow orders.”

Selena gritted her teeth. Is Cassian understanding what I’m saying? Or was he even listening? It is impossible to tell what the horse is thinking from its eyes and face.

“Please help me.”

Nevertheless, Selena said.

All she can do to convince Cassian now is to use her voice.

I just believe that a sincere voice will work. Because that was all.

“That person is dangerous.”

Selena’s words recited softly. Cassian watched it quietly. You can’t read a horse’s thoughts. However, Cassian soon shook his head once and moved his legs to get closer to Selena and offer his side to her.

“…thank you.”

Selena climbed onto Cassian’s back. The cloth covered Cassian’s back. Cassian’s head tilted as if he was in a good mood.

‘When I had this cloth, I felt neither cold nor heat.’

So, at Tavern, Frontier looked fine even though he was lightly dressed. I thought it was some kind of bluff, but a small mystery was solved.

‘…Then it must be very cold now.’

And my worries increased.

“Let’s go, Cassian. “I have a place to stop by.”

Next, towards Malia de Roach.

Roach Mansion, that is.

‘No, wait. ‘Miss Malia said she doesn’t stay at Roach Manor.’

Malia is Frondier’s mother, but she is not at the mansion.

I don’t know if she has a disagreement with Ampere or is just as passionate about research as rumored, but it is said that Malia usually gets her lodging and food at Constel.

…Then what about vacation?

“Where can I meet Ms. Malia?”

Immediately after muttering that, Cassian made the first move.

“Do you know where Ms. Malia is?”

There is no answer from Cassian. Of course. But that quiet run was a sufficient answer for Selena.

“…good.”

Clutching the reins tightly, Selena followed Cassian’s direction.

* * *

The day after the First Battle of the Wall.

The monsters were quiet. There seemed to be no battle today.

The soldiers were relieved by that, but the knights actually stiffened their faces and became nervous. Because they also heard information about monsters from Sylvain.

If there is no continuous invasion, they are planning to gather a huge army and penetrate the barrier at once, as Frondier said.

Sylvain believed that Frondier’s prediction was correct. It was a very hopeless situation, but it also served as an opportunity for Frondier, who was reading it, to have a glimmer of hope.

one.

“It’s unexpected.”

In fact, Frontier himself muttered that.

[What do you mean?]

“I think they’ll attack tomorrow.”

In response to Gregory’s words, Frondier looked at the paper on the desk and spoke.

I saved the map I saw in the conference room last time in the workshop and drew a map of the war situation on paper while listening to Gregory’s report.

Seeing that, Frondier’s expression became even more serious.

“I knew there would be an all-out attack, but I didn’t expect it to be this fast. “I thought it would take a few more days.”

[It looks like they’re gathering troops in a hurry.]

It’s urgent. Yes, the current enemy replenishment speed actually felt like that. A movement that seems to slightly advance the launch of an all-out offensive.

If this happens, the monsters will invade faster than if Selena rode Cassian and brought Malia.

[When will Selena come?]

“Well, even if she comes without a problem, it will be after the sun sets tomorrow.”

Selena must convince both Cassian and Malia. Frontier thought it wouldn’t be easy for both sides.

Cassian is smart, but has a very strong pride, and Malia is reluctant to come to Ampere’s place.

Above all, neither of them would know much about Selena. Selena needs to appeal that she is a trustworthy person. There may not be much material to persuade her at Cape Mangot.

[Then I guess I’ll see some blood tomorrow.]

“….”

Gregory said, thinking that of course that would happen. A Frontier without Penelope’s Cloth would not be able to produce even 10% of the combat power it can produce now. Of course, it is right to wait for Selena.

But Frontier remained silent. That made Gregory uneasy.

[No way. You’re not trying to go, right?]

“…I have no intention of crossing the barrier.”

Gregory was somewhat relieved by Frondier’s answer. And at the same time, I was anxious. I have no intention of crossing the barrier. So do you have any other thoughts?

“Gregory.”

[Why do you call it that? Uneasy.]

“Sylvane said so. “Only the emperor makes the decision to save many with one life.”

[It did. [Whatever that is.]

“I listened to that and thought about it. Would I be able to make that judgment? I don’t know if that’s possible for me, sacrificing a few for the greater good. “Would you even be willing to do that, let alone whether such an option comes to mind or not?”

Frontier recalled the battle of the past. Especially the one at Tavern.

Most of the other fights were Frontier’s personal fights. Of course, there were clashes between the teachers of Constel and the leaders of Indus, but this was fully assumed and the teachers did not think they would lose. Actually, nothing happened.

However, I saw a lot of death at Tavern. It was the ‘knights’, not the ‘soldiers’, who declared that not a single person would die.

However, Frontier at the time was surprisingly calm. Was it because he was fully prepared for the possibility of someone dying, or was it because he had closed his mind towards that?

Either way, Frontier did well. Even after seeing someone’s death, he was not very shaken.

Then this time.

Can Frontier even allow someone to die with his own hands? Even if it is for the benefit of the whole?

‘I always thought I had to attack the game. Even before I came to this world and until now.’

I tried everything to clear the game Etius, but I failed.

I came to this world having failed.

At that time, Frontier was still in the mindset of a gamer. Obtain what you can get, give up what you cannot get without hesitation, find the best efficiency, and find the optimal route.

But looking back, in the end.

Frontier has never sacrificed anything. Like an immature child, I hoped that everything would work out as I wanted, and so far, I have been lucky.

But one day this luck will end.

If that happens, I wonder if human lives will be thrown away for the sake of efficiency.

[Frondier.]

Gregory called him.

The crow, like a bird, nodded its head without any expression and spoke.

[You’re not the emperor.]

“….”

The tone of voice is as if he doesn’t know why he’s worried like that. Because Gregory does not know Frondier’s situation, he cannot fully understand his concerns.

But that’s it.

“…Huh.”

What a comfort it was to Frontier.

“Huh heh heh. Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Frontier laughed. I opened my mouth wide and smiled. How long has it been since I laughed like that?

[Is this kid crazy?]

Despite Gregory’s scolding, Frondier’s laughter did not stop. Frondier shook his shoulders as if he was really happy and laughed with tears forming in his eyes.

“Yes, that’s right. Hehehe.”

Frondier looked at the window of the room. The sun bows its head and spreads out its long hair into the sunset. Outside the window, you can see villagers and knights moving in preparation for tomorrow.

Kitchen staff busy preparing tomorrow’s meal in advance, workers organizing clothes to end the day, knights preparing their weapons in preparation for tomorrow’s fight, or people praying.

Frondier said with all of this in his eyes.

“I am not the emperor.”

He is not a hero, let alone an emperor.

I am nothing.

‘Throw away something to save something.’

Sylvain is right.

Frontier was also not a great man capable of making such a choice.

* * *

And the next day.

It was around that time that the soldiers sighed as they saw the seemingly predestined army of monsters.

While giving instructions from the top of the wall, the knights looked somewhere, passed by, and then looked somewhere else again.

Sylvain was where the knights’ eyes were focused.

Sylvain was talking to another soldier, and he seemed to be talking about something so serious that other knights could not approach him.

“…You know, that guy next to the leader. “Aren’t you a soldier?”

“huh. “I think so?”

“When did the commander become so close to a soldier like that?”

“Well, it doesn’t seem like we’re talking because we’re close friends?”

“Oh yeah?”

“Captain, you looked very angry earlier. “Didn’t he cause an accident?”

They looked at the sight of a soldier talking to a Sylvain somewhat unfamiliarly, but thought it might be the case, so they passed by.

And the soldier.

“…It seems like a good idea, right?”

He muttered in a voice that only Sylvain could hear.

The soldier was Frontier. He participated in the Battle of the Wall, hiding his face behind a mask.

“…Where did you get the mask?”

“Because I also have quite a few connections.”

It’s been less than a week since I made this connection.

Rather than using my personal connections, I used threats to rip off the mask.

I can still see Laurier looking angry and scared at the same time.

“Didn’t you ask me to get over the barrier?”

“The plans have changed. “Because the enemy’s plans have changed.”

Sylvain’s eyes twitched at those words. As expected, their attack was faster than Frondier expected.

“Are you okay?”

“You have to make it okay. “I have to stay here for at least one day.”

Frontier looked beyond the barrier. The monsters had already filled that huge plain and overflowed.

There will now be more monsters pouring in than can be seen here now.

This time, unlike the first day’s battle, everything will rush at you, even the winged ones and the black ones.

“Originally, I was planning to secretly invade their base, but their numbers were increasing faster than I expected.”

“Then what do you plan to do? “It would be impossible to sneak away after coming this far.”

The moment Sylvain answered like that, one of the soldiers looking through the telescope shouted.

“They are starting to advance!”

Has everyone finally come together? The monsters’ steps were slowly approaching the barrier.

In particular, those that spread their wings and fly at high speed are noticeable.

Now the monsters don’t wait for anything. The ones flying at the forefront were proof of that.

After checking it, Frontier put on his helmet. It was a helmet that perfectly covered the face.

If you’re going to do something like that, do you need a mask? When Sylvain had a little doubt.

“Menosorpo.”

Frontier said something.

“…!”

Immediately after, Sylvaine felt that the air in the area had changed. The flow of mana has changed. This is

a ‘magic circle!’

When did you install this? If you think about the scope of something this large, you’ve already gone far beyond the barrier!

Before he could organize his thoughts, Frondier glanced at Sylvain and said.

“No matter what happens from now on, you shouldn’t look surprised. “All of this was accomplished under the leader’s plan.”

“…No way he was wearing a helmet.”

Yes. There is no way a single soldier could do something like this.

Frontier is with Sylvaine now. That’s why they completely hide their faces and make everything look like Sylvaine did it.

Weaving in the air Simultaneous replication

Imperial Armory

Long Spear 30 units in order from 1 to 30.

And dozens of spears rising above the barrier.

Frondier whispers once again to Sylvain, who is looking at this blankly.

“Remember, you should never be surprised.”
