Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 183

Chapter 58 Toward the Fragments (3)

Laurier advanced with a stern face.

When I posted the report, I had some idea that this would happen.

─Check whether the glacier is accessible or breakable.

This was the empire’s guideline. And they sent a member of the dark department to help.

In fact, it was the same as telling me to die.

“There’s no need to break it. “You just have to attack the glacier once and retreat straight away.”

Laurier spoke as if it were a simple matter to the people riding around him.

But she knew. Even if they succeed in breaking through that wall of monsters and attacking the glacier, all the monsters will attack them at once. You can’t go deep into the center and hope to get out safely.

“This is what it’s like to work in the dark. “You were prepared.”

The leader’s calm voice. Everyone, including Laurier and the leader, knew the meaning of this operation.

This is what life in the dark is like. Do anything for the good of the empire. That’s a rule that applies when dealing with enemies, but it also applies to allies.

Ambu judged the glacier discovered in the northwest of the continent to be extremely dangerous and sent them there.

If they, including Laurier, fail their mission, they just send the next person and the next person. So to speak, they are currently thrown in as prey to gauge the danger and strength of the enemy.

“All for the glory of the empire.”

“For the glory of the Empire.”

Everyone repeated the same thing as the leader chanted. The sound was not loud. Their words were not a shout to boost morale, but were closer to self-suggestion.

“Your abilities are important, Laurie. Hypnotize any dangerous monsters that discover us and approach us. I leave it to you to decide which monsters are dangerous. “It doesn’t necessarily have to be a black monster.”

“Yes, I understand.”

They ran in a circle outside the group of monsters. A few monsters spotted them, but most of them were busy worshiping the fragments.

The leader looked at the placement of monsters from outside, looking for the most likely opening.

“─From here, turn left. As you approach that glacier, it will split in three directions. “I give the signal.”

“yes.”

“let’s go!”

At the leader’s declaration, the horses’ reins were pulled at once. They turned sharply to the left and headed toward the glacier.

Crrr-

Wow!!

Several monsters noticed their approach. The monsters naturally moved to block the shadow’s approach.

Crash! First, the fast-moving ones gathered towards them. Personnel on the flanks of the unit moved to respond. They swung their swords and stabbed their spears at the monsters.

Meanwhile, Laurie was constantly checking her surroundings. The purpose was to find a target for hypnosis. Her ability is so outstanding that it can trap most monsters, but the stronger they are, the more it consumes her mental power. The same applies even if the number is large.

Therefore, it is better to use it when dealing with truly dangerous monsters rather than using it on just any monster.

No matter what, you can definitely hypnotize at least one animal. There have been no exceptions so far.

‘…Except for Frontier.’

Usually, when hypnotizing a strong opponent, Laurier can read the level of that strength. Because you have to put in that much mental power.

But Frontier felt nothing. So at first I thought I had it. I thought he was a sloppy guy who barely needed mental strength.

But in reality it was the opposite. It didn’t work at all. Laurier’s mental power was not consumed and Frondier was also fine. It’s as if the hypnosis had gone ‘astray’.

Could something like that happen again, even to monsters? Laurier was afraid of that.

“Now!”

The leader shouted, and with that, the members of the Ambu spread their wings in three directions and split.

Not all of them have to survive. Only one person remains who can check the strength of the glacier and survive.

Looking at it that way, Laurier, who could hypnotize, had the highest probability. That is why the leader and other personnel also desperately protect Laurier.

Laurier belongs to the leader’s group. As they raced towards the glacier, the wings on both sides split to the left and right, stealing the monsters’ attention.

However, there is something they do not know.

“What…?!”

It was only for a moment that they spread their wings and split in three directions, stealing the monsters’ attention. The monsters quickly realized their intentions.

Monsters flocked to Laurier and the others as they walked in a straight line.

The members of the dark department have only a very superficial knowledge of the monsters outside.

Even if they are the same monsters outside, they do not know the difference between the monsters just beyond the barrier and the monsters deeper inside.

If they use tactics against ordinary monsters like they have done so far, they will be the ones to fall for their trick. Unless you use tactics that are sufficient to deceive humans, you cannot deceive the monsters outside.

“Come back too! “Come back!”

The leader shouted hurriedly. Even without him saying anything, the scattered group changed their course again.

However, that was actually a mistake. The formation of both wings, which had changed course unreasonably, was already shaking.

At that moment, the monsters that were thought to attack only Laurie’s group attacked the troops split on both sides.

“Hehehe!”

“Aaaah!!”

The horses’ legs were cut off by the teeth of the monsters crawling on the ground. The human’s neck was torn off and the body torn off by the things that attacked from above.

The humans swung swords and blunt weapons, but they could not distinguish between the front and the back in the shadows of countless charging monsters.

If I had swung like crazy, thinking that I would live alone, I would have been able to kill at least a few people, but I was worried that the ally next to me would get hurt, so I couldn’t swing it properly and ended up on the ground along with that ally.

The monster’s feet and toothy club stepped on all sorts of places, breaking it and crushing its skull.

“Ugh…!”

Laurier’s eyes brightened. She couldn’t watch the devastation unfolding on both wings.

Among the things that attacked humans, he selected a powerful-looking monster and hypnotized it. Soon a strange picture of a monster eating a monster unfolded.

“Laurier! “Conserve your strength!”

After confirming it, the leader shouted. However, Laurie kept her mouth shut and did not answer.

“Laurier! Have you forgotten that we are all mortal! “If you follow the instructions given from above, that is enough!”

“…That’s right! “Not everyone wanted to die like this!”

“If you complete your mission and return, it won’t be a dog’s death! “Laurier!”

At that time when their opinions were sharply conflicting without any compromise.

“Leader Lee! “It’s coming from the right!”

The person to the leader’s right shouted.

This time, wild dog-like things approached them. They are faster than the previous monsters and make people’s eyes dizzy.

If we are attacked here and now, Laurier’s main unit will inevitably be swept away.

“Ugh!”

Laurier stretched out a hand. Her hypnosis even reached the dogs. However, everything was impossible.

Some of them bit the nearby wild dogs and ran away with them, but most of them came close without losing speed.

The leader stopped talking. So did others.

The leader shouted.

“Laurier! Just look ahead and run!”

Laurier, who was surprised, belatedly grabbed the reins and dragged him.

“leader!”

“If you stay here now, you’ll just die together! “If you don’t want to die that much, run away at all costs!”

Laurier looked around. Wings on both sides being devoured by monsters. This is where things like wild dogs are rushing in.

They die for sure. From the beginning, returning alive was a mere possibility, but he died without even being able to properly carry out his mission.

An insignificant death that is literally nothing more than being thrown as food to monsters.

In order to add even a few lines of meaning to their deaths, she must live. You must survive and check the glacier and escape. Of course, even that chance of survival is slim, but it’s better than being tied up here.

Run away, run away, Laurie.

I’m pulling the hand holding the reins. Come on.

“…no.”

Laurier stretched both arms forward. Along with that, the monsters around him collapsed. Both wings were free of breath, and the approaching dogs also fell in front of them, tripping over them. A

nosebleed

ran down Laurier’s lips.

Laurier could not abandon them.

She knew it herself. What should she do as an ambu? Now this is simply buying time.

And also knew. Her temperament doesn’t really suit Ambu’s.

An undercover who will do anything for the good of the empire. Laurier was able to continue his work until now because the profits were directly related to the lives of the empire’s citizens.

Laurier did dirty work to save people. Killed someone to save someone.

There was no such thing as a single survival, but running away to live alone for a few lines of information was not something that had been assumed in her from the beginning.

That is, she.

“I guess you want to save them all?”

“Hic?”

Laurier got goosebumps for a moment and spit out a sound.

It was a voice I felt like I had heard from somewhere, and ‘fear’ raised my head automatically.

Cooung──!!

Something crashed down on the wild dogs that were attacking them.

“?!”

For a moment, Laurier couldn’t figure out what it was that struck her. Because it wasn’t all in her eyes.

When I raised my head and widened my eyes, I could barely see.

A very huge building. A huge three-story building fell from the sky on a flat land where there was nothing until a moment ago. The wild dogs were crushed under the weight of the building.

“What is it?”

“Is that a monster too?”

Laurier looked around at the sound of normal human voices coming from both wings.

People who were subjected to a terrible massacre by monsters. But the monster actually disappeared.

Everyone around the field was lying dead. He died after being shot with an arrow in the head, chest, and neck.

‘You eliminated the monsters on both wings of the unit and the wild dogs approaching the main unit in an instant?’

And that without killing humans?

Laurier knew immediately who had done this. It was impossible not to notice that huge building. But I couldn’t believe it.

A torturer who locked up a person like that and gave them nothing to drink or eat for a month could do something like this—

“I’m not strong enough to save them all.”

A voice interrupted Laurier’s thoughts again.

I’m still angry and want to yell at him if I get the chance, but the voice is still just as scary.

“…Frondier.”

Laurier raised her head and glared at him.

Frondier, floating in the air in front of the building that fell from the sky, was smiling at Laurier.

“There is no time to talk. “Take your people and get in there.”

“…Go in there?”

Laurier looked at the building that Frondier pointed to with his thumb. Naturally, it is a place that Laurier has no good memories of.

“Do you all want to die here?”

“….”

Laurie bit her lower lip once and looked around. The monsters in the area were eliminated in an instant.

It’s surprising, but soon enough monsters will attack again. The horses were scared and the unit’s morale was miserable.

“Leader, let’s go into that building.”

“…is it okay?”

“It’s not okay, but that’s the only way.”

The leader saw Frontier floating in the sky.

Laurier forgets it for a moment, but in this world, the fact that a person is floating in the sky is enough to guess the power of the other person.

This place is too wide and flat to be standing on a thread or something, and floating that high, not just a few centimeters, is impossible even with the ‘floating’ magic.

Above all, looking at the situation, isn’t it because of that man that the surrounding monsters were wiped out and that building suddenly appeared?

“Everyone! Lead the horse and enter the mansion!”

Following the leader’s orders, the members of the dark department hurriedly headed into the building. They were walking on horseback in a daze, but then something occurred to them and they looked behind them.

A cruel scene of fighting monsters a while ago. There are many human corpses there, and some are still alive.

The injuries are serious, but there are medicines and healers here, so if you spend enough time, you might be able to survive.

…However, this is not a place where such idiots can communicate. The monsters will attack again soon, so we need to get into that building as soon as possible.

“Move all the injured.”

“?!”

Then Frontier spoke. Everyone looked at Frondier in disbelief at those words.

Frondier said, looking around.

“I’ll give you 3 minutes. Move everything by then. After that time, the door will close. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s alive or dead.”

3 minutes? The monsters will soon be pouring in again, so you can give us 3 minutes?

How on earth would they give that time

?

People looked at it at that time. Spears suddenly appeared around him as he hovered in the air, and the spears spread out and formed a circle around them.

Quang!

And when Frondier swung something like a hammer, lightning soared and flowed through the spear. The lightning connected all the spears with its stem.

It was the completion of a simple barrier to protect humans.

“It’s 3 minutes.”

Time limit imposed again. People came to their senses and moved quickly. They moved the wounded, lined up the horses, and quickly brought them inside.

And Laurier, who was trying to sneak into the workshop among the group,

“Laurier.”

I flinch.

Without a doubt, Frontier called.

Frontier looked at Laurier, who turned his neck like a rusty machine, with his usual smile.

“I think we should settle the price of their lives.”

…calculate?

Why do you do that to me?

I don’t have any money. Am I the only one who will pay for the lives of so many people?

“don’t worry. Because you can definitely pay it back. And only you can do this.”

Frondier spoke as if to reassure him, but Laurier did not feel reassured at all.

I didn’t know what or how I was being asked to repay him, but all I could think of was ominous.
