58 Toward the Fragments (2)

Frondier safely broke through the monster’s wall and headed beyond.

As we made our way through the trees and bushes, we soon found a path that was easy to pass. It was the same path that the previous Roach Knights had taken to track down their base.

“…Mr. Frontier.”

Selena opened her mouth while walking down a road that looked like a wide furrow with slightly higher slopes on both sides of the road.

“Even though there were fragments of Helheim beyond the walls of Jeranhes from the beginning, it doesn’t seem like a coincidence that a black monster appeared when Frondier came here. Not only that, I can feel the monster’s army having a strange intention during this wall battle.”

“….”

“I think Frontier predicted that and gave me instructions.”

Selena’s sharp words. Frondier did not answer him. No matter what answer you give, Selena seems to have already noticed.

“The power to create black monsters from fragments and control all of that enormous army of monsters.”

also.

Selena spoke in a deep, calm tone behind Frondier’s back.

“…God intervened.”

“Yes.”

“Now we are heading towards the fragments of Helheim, where God must have intervened.”

“that’s right.”

Frontier’s answer is as calm as Selena’s. After hearing those words, Selena fell silent for a moment.

Frondier asked.

“Are you scared?”

“yes?”

“It was around the same time that I came here and the black monster came out of the debris. This is no coincidence. God clearly took notice of me and intervened in the fragments of Helheim. “My coming here may have all been a trap of God.”

Frontier thought that although it had been difficult to get this far, it had turned out well.

That’s why I was so concerned about how far God had prepared.

‘It’s definitely not a complete advent.’

No matter what god he was, if he had truly succeeded in manifesting using fragments and the worship of monsters, his movements would not have been this complicated. If you don’t like Frontier, just kill him right away.

However, it is not possible to do so. In other words, although they intervene, they cannot move freely.

So the important thing is after arriving at the fragment. There must have been some kind of device installed there.

“If I fall into a trap, there is a possibility that you too will be caught in it. No, at the point where you are helping me, God may be planning to kill us both. “That would be scary.”

Even as Frondier said that, he could not clearly understand his own intentions. Why are you saying this to Selena?

In order to safely reach the fragments, Selena’s near-perfect close combat response ability is essential. So, it would have been better to keep quiet and not cause unnecessary fear.

…Still, you still want to say it.

I’m putting you in danger. Still, will you help me?

Do you want to hear ‘yes’ to a question like that, Frontier? There is a level of shamelessness.

“…Howie,”

Selena, who seemed to be thinking at that time, opened her mouth.

“I’m not worried about being ‘embroiled in’ the danger of the people I’m supposed to protect. “Being involved is work.”

At those words, Frondier lowered his head. It was because I felt something similar to admiration for Selena.

It’s okay to say it now, but Selena is not an escort from the Frontier. Escort is merely a formal title that Frontier presents when introducing Selena.

Of course Selena hasn’t forgotten that either. Selena just decided to answer that way now.

“And my concerns lie elsewhere.”

“different place?”

“Have you forgotten? Frontier said he would let me meet my family. “I will let my family know who I am.”

Selena didn’t know who she was until she met Frontier. I had completely lost my memory.

Selena de Vanier. As the daughter of the Vanier family, the name still gave her a sense of deja vu. That’s why I trust Frontier.

“It did.”

Frondier nodded. I have never forgotten or forgotten my promise to Selena.

However, I couldn’t let Selena meet the Vanier family right now. As the character Selena was important to Mangot, there was a high possibility that the Vanier family also had some kind of trick in store for Mangot. I can never let Selena meet her family.

In other words, the only time Selena can meet her family is after Mangot is finished.

Of course, I couldn’t say this to Selena. She is from Cape Bay and has not completely decided to be on Frontier’s side.

“So, if you die, it will be difficult. Until you keep your promise to me. Why would I protect Frontier?”

“yes.”

“Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you yourself are important to me.”

Something I once said to Frontier. The somewhat cold voice was still the same as then, but Selena added one more word.

“You must not die.”

“okay.”

As Frondier answered, he felt his mind becoming clearer.

This level of relationship is appropriate with Selena. Now that we each have something we want from each other, there is no need for useless thoughts or feelings to cooperate.

…just.

‘When will I be able to say that?’

There is something Frontier is not telling Selena.

The fact that Mangot killed her father.

Will the day come when those words will be delivered from Frondier’s mouth? That was the only thing left on Frontier’s mind.

* * *

Frondier and Selena left the forest on a narrow path.

But soon they had no choice but to stop.

There was a sheer cliff in front.

“It really was a good road for an ambush.”

“yes. “If the enemy escapes due to the ambush, that’s it. If they try to force their way through, we will lure them to this cliff.”

Frondier and Selena came all the way here riding only one horse, but normally there would be a large number of cavalry like the Knights of Roach. It is not easy for people on horseback to spot a cliff and stop immediately.

Even if the leader stops in front of the cliff, they cannot stop behind it, so they are pushed all at once and fall into the cliff.

Even if that’s not the case, since there is a cliff behind you, you must be prepared to face death if you confront the ambushed monsters.

“But that doesn’t mean we took the wrong path. Look over there.”

Frondier looked beyond the cliff and saw the great plain where the forest ended.

The two hardened their expressions. Cassian, who was riding the two, also seemed nervous and tapped the rough ground with his hoof.

they discovered

Something black filled the huge glacier floating on the plain.

“That is a fragment of Helheim.”

Even though it is a plain, this place is further north than Jeranhes. The ground is completely frozen and the forest is full of thorn trees that can survive the winter.

And a horde of gigantic monsters filling both eyes.

“It’s huge. “There are monsters gathered on that glacier that are superior not only in number but also in quality.”

“They said they worshiped it, but it really seems that way.”

Surprisingly, all the monsters gathered around the glacier and knelt down and bowed their heads. It was the same whether they stood on two legs or four.

“It would have been dangerous if all of those monsters had participated in the barrier battle.”

“To put it another way, in order for a god to exert power in this world, he needs the worship of that level of monsters.”

If worship is weakened by having those monsters participate in the barrier battle, God’s commands will not be able to reach them. That’s why I’m telling the truth.

Perhaps that huge group is the ‘minimum’ number of people that allows God to use his power.

“But the monsters don’t come this way. “Actually, I was a little prepared.”

“I was worried about that too, but maybe I can’t even if I want to. “This road is suitable for an ambush, but it is not a place where large-scale monsters can move.”

Moreover, since you have to climb this cliff, the difficulty is doubled. There is no such thing as terrain where everything is only advantageous to one’s side. When the situation changes and the war situation changes, the terrain that seemed to be an ally changes at some point.

Unless an ambush is prepared in advance, this is a location that is difficult for monsters to easily reach.

“Then what should we do? Even if they are obsessed with worship, the number is enormous. “Can we get through that group and reach the fragments?”

“This is a cliff and our position is high, so it’s better. All you have to do is activate Menosorpho and quickly reach the fragments by flying.”

“I can see some flying things. “There will be some that can attack from a distance.”

“The flight of monsters inevitably requires wings. To deal with a sudden attack, you have to flap your wings and secure enough preparation time. “It may be a bit risky, but we have to take it.”

Frondier took a deep breath. He seemed nervous and kept his mouth shut. Selena looked at this with a puzzled expression for a moment, then grabbed Frontier’s sleeve as he was about to move.

“What is it, Selena?”

“…no way.”

“What?”

“You don’t want to go alone, do you?”

At those words, Frontier looked at Selena.

Selena quietly glared at Frondier as if she was truly angry.

“…You’re too heavy to carry and fly, Selena.”

“It’s difficult to think that you can get away with saying things like that. “It’s really obvious that you’re trying to go alone at all costs.”

Frondier tried to remove the sleeve that was caught, but he had no help. Selena’s strength was already much stronger, but she was holding on so tightly that her clothes were about to tear.

“I’m an escort, but you don’t trust me at the most dangerous moment.”

“….”

“Whether it’s a flying guy or a guy attacking from afar, I’ll clean up the little things until it reaches the fragments.”

Selena’s tone is neat and firm at the same time. Frondier looked at it quietly and closed his eyes.

Of course, Selena will be a huge help until we reach the fragments. Frontier is not doubting Selena’s abilities. I didn’t even think that Selena would be attacked by a monster.

However, Frontier feels uneasy about the fragment itself. I felt very dirty when absorbing the black monsters, but that huge glacier was so tightly packed together.

Moreover, I was close to 100% certain that God had done something there.

At that point, Frontier cannot guarantee Selena’s safety. It was only natural that she, who was right next to him, would get caught up in it.

What should I do? Should I trust Selena and fly with her? Should I somehow get it off and go in alone?

At that time, Frontier’s worries deepened.

Doo doo doo doo!

Frontier and Selena perked up their ears at the familiar sound.

In a different direction from them, a group on horseback could be seen heading towards the debris.

They were all hidden behind pitch black robes, but they were clearly humans. A group of humans on horseback were moving eagerly towards the fragments of Helheim.

There is no way the Sylvain or Roach Knights, who have confirmed the advance of the Frontier and are busy fighting the barrier battle, will be here.

The same goes for Ampere. There won’t be enough time for their staff to devote even a single person to this.

In other words, it is not Yeranhes’s troops.

‘…that woman.’

Frondier identified a familiar face among the gray faces visible through the robes.

A woman with whom he had a deep conversation not long ago caught his eye.

Laurier. It was too difficult to cover up that brilliant blonde hair and facial features with a robe.

In other words,

“It’s the imperial secretariat.”

I don’t know what information Laurier relayed to the Ambu, but a part of the Ambu was dispatched and decided to rush into the fragments.

Selena, who was watching it quietly, asked.

“…Are you going to help me?”

I don’t know how good the shadow’s skills are, but with that number of people, it won’t be easy to get through the monsters and reach the fragments.

From the beginning, Ambu was trained to give up his life for the good of the empire.

The people who are rushing in now probably know that the purpose of destroying the debris is that they will die at most 30% of the time. Their lives are treated so lightly.

Knowing that, Frontier answered.

“why me?”

“….”

Frondier glanced at the path toward the fragments of the Empire’s shadow and the entire battlefield before speaking again.

“You won’t know if you use it and eat it.”
