Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 187 Chapter
59 Sloth (3)
The battle at the barrier continued for a long time.
When Frontier killed the Cyclops, a long gap opened up on the battlefield from the wall to the Cyclops.
The Roach Knights, who were protecting Frontier, did not miss the opportunity and cleverly lured the monsters that split to the left and right.
Sylvaine, who began holding the sword with his left hand, fought more comfortably than before the battle, and the movements of the knights using their mobility were similar to hunting.
Ampere’s sword and the magicians’ chants shined as they lured the monsters and sometimes made them collide with each other to form a single bunch of monsters.
And above all.
‘That Frontier guy meticulously killed all the black monsters.’
Sylvain clicked his tongue at Frondier’s thorough methods.
I don’t know the principle, but Frontier was the natural enemy of black monsters.
He almost eliminated the black monster early on before heading to the fragments alone.
Of course, it was because it was a valuable mana resource for Frontier, but Sylvain could not have known such a thing.
Monsters, like humans, have morale. Even though they are not affected as much as humans, monsters also flinch when the person next to them dies and even run away when defeat appears before their eyes.
However, Frondier showed the monster something worse than death. Only for black monsters, what was once a monster was absorbed into mana.
At some point in the process, death may have occurred, but monsters have no such fear.
Frondier killed Cyclops and ran beyond the North. The battlefield that followed seemed similar to the battles that always took place in Jeranhes.
Of course, there were a lot more monsters than usual, but the previous Frondier killed most of the flying monsters first, and after eliminating almost all of the black monsters, he even subdued the dangerous monster Cyclops.
While Frondier was running this way and that, Sylvain and Roach Knights and Ampère were alive and well, so it was a battle worth fighting rather than just starting.
For such a long time, the battle between monsters and humans was parallel for a long time.
But at some point.
“…Don’t they look a little strange?”
These were the words of a soldier. It was almost a muttering, but it definitely reached the ears of people who were thinking similarly.
“Suddenly, he looks somewhere else, stands still, and looks around.”
“Doesn’t it look like they just woke up?”
“I don’t think he knows why he’s here.”
There was a change in the monster’s movements.
Of course, they still rushed at humans as soon as they spotted them, but overall, the ordered flow of monsters was becoming disorganized.
Silvain and Ampere quickly checked the situation.
Sylvaine, who commanded the Roach Knights outside the wall. Riding on horseback, amidst the fast-flowing scenery, he saw Ampere in a split second.
As if he already knew, Ampere was already looking at Sylvain, and the two briefly exchanged glances.
─Frondier did it!
Convinced of that, Sylvaine took a deep breath.
“Shout! “Soldiers of Jeranhes!!”
Sylvain gathered all the remaining Aurors that had been slowly exhausted by the long battle. The same was true for the knights. After using up all of these auras, there would be trouble, but Sylvain was confident.
This ‘back’ no longer exists.
“Frighten them! “Make them realize where they are now amid the rain of arrows and fire!”
“Do not spare your arrows! The same goes for mana! “Pour everything you have at them!”
“It may be difficult, but you can get over it this time! This is the last one! It’s okay to give up all your strength and collapse! Even if you fall, you will return home safely!”
Understanding Sylvain’s intentions, the knights encouraged the soldiers. The soldiers gritted their teeth and screamed.
Without caring about the battle ahead, he shouted, shot arrows, swung his sword, and magic fell from the air to the ground.
“Haaaab-!!”
And Ampere’s long, horizontal blade seems to spur him on. The distant wall of monsters began to fall like dominoes.
The monsters behind were dumbfounded that they had suddenly become the leader. I made eye contact with Ampere, who was emitting a terrifying aura from afar.
-You guys will be cut down on the spot, too.
A death sentence that goes without saying. Ampere had already predicted their death with just his eyes.
Kieeee!!
The monsters were completely unconscious. They had just woken up and suddenly saw arrows raining down, fire and ice falling, men on horseback coming in with spears and swords, and other monsters dying in the distance.
The first thing that catches your eye is the barrier. The walls are still thick and high, and the humans are staring at them with murderous eyes.
It’s impossible. You can’t get over that barrier. No, why am I here in the first place? What do those countless corpses mean?
Monsters that were slow to judge died, monsters that were late to judge but were slow to act died, and monsters that took action but were slow to act also died.
The monsters that came to their senses began to disperse. Of course, the monsters that were already attacking the barrier did not know what was going on and attacked the humans ignorantly, but naturally their necks were pierced by the ends of the blades and spears.
“Ugh! Sigh! “Wow!”
One of the leading soldiers swung his sword frantically. Of course, it was because of Sylvain’s shouts and encouragement from the knights, but he was already half drunk with the smell of war.
People like this often appear in battles that determine life and death. It was a shame because he was at the front, but if he were not careful, he would have been able to swing his sword without distinguishing between friend and foe.
A soldier like this needs to be tackled from behind by several people and subdued, or a much stronger person must come to his senses by making him drop his weapon.
But this time there was no need for that.
“Ugh! Sigh! Ha… huh…?”
A man who was frantically destroying the monsters in front of him. He soon realized what was strange.
Whiing~
At some point, his sword clumsily cut through the air.
“Huh, huh, huh… huh…”
Only then did the soldier realize his own breathing and slowly lowered his shoulders.
“No…”
There are no monsters.
I frantically swung my sword at the seemingly endless waves of monsters, but since the last one died, the next one never came.
What you hear is your own pounding heart and your own breathing, like a strong wind passing through the trees.
What I see is monsters scattering in all directions and underneath the seemingly empty barrier.
Ears that only heard their own heart and breathing, and eyes that only saw what was in front of them. Drunk in battle, his five senses, which had only felt his surroundings, slowly opened to all directions.
After everything is opened.
thud!
“Waaaaaa!!!”
The huge roar of the battlefield struck his ears.
The soldier looked around blankly. People hugging each other and cheering. A man holding a sword, collapsing with a sigh of relief and trying to catch his breath. A wizard in robes kneeling and crying.
dump.
The man sat down after hearing the shouts and seeing people’s faces.
My entire body is wet with sweat, heavy, and covered in dirt and dust, and the blood and moisture mix and stick together unpleasantly. My body is wet, but my face is so dry that it feels like a piece of paper is crumpled every time the wind passes by.
What the man is looking at is just a clear sky. It was a bright afternoon with a lot of tilt but still a long way to go before sunset.
The day is this long. There are days that last for such a long time.
The man muttered briefly, taking in the clear sky and the sunlight shining as if he didn’t even know it was tilting.
“I won…”
It was an obvious fact.
“oh! “Look over there!”
The Roach Knights checked the condition of the soldiers and the wounded and dead. One of the knights found something and shouted.
“hmm…!”
Sylvaine followed the knight’s gaze to where he pointed with his finger and then his eyes lit up.
A horse slowly approached from the north beyond the multi-angled barrier. A pair of men and women sitting on it.
Sylvain, who checked this, felt something swelling from somewhere deep in his chest. He shouted so hard that his voice cracked slightly.
“Knights of Roach! Sort!”
In fact, such commands are rarely given. Alignment is usually done on your own when a situation arises, and even if you give instructions, it usually says what formation it will be in.
However, the knights gathered themselves together, split into two lines, and formed their own formation along the path to the wall. It is to welcome those who approach from far away to the greatest extent possible.
“We must treat a hero befitting his return! If you see someone making a mistake, know how to pull him off the horse right away!”
At Sylvain’s words, the knights bit their lips and held back their laughter. Meanwhile, the horse carrying Frontier and Selena slowly approached them.
“Everyone! salute!”
The swords of the knights rose high into the sky. The sunlight reflected the surface and sparkled, and the road they had made was beautifully decorated as a crossroads of swords.
“Frondier! “You did a great job!”
Sylvain approached Frondier. Cassian stopped in front of the road the knights had made. Cassian wanted to walk confidently and slowly along the middle of the road the knights had made, but he couldn’t. There was a reason.
“If it weren’t for you, this battle would have been really…”
Sylvain checked Frondier’s appearance. Frontier is far from being cheerful or lively, but he was quieter today.
It has to be that way.
“…what.”
Sylvaine let out a laugh. Among the knights lined up, the people at the front eventually burst into laughter when they saw Frondier’s appearance.
“You’re sleeping.”
Frondier was sleeping against Cassian’s neck, and Selena was sleeping against Frondier’s back.
It wasn’t that he was dozing off with his head down, but he was actually sleeping peacefully in the world.
Cassian knows what state his owner is in by feeling his back, so he usually does not drop him from his back.
Cassian closed his eyes and shook his head. The movements were so human-like that it was surprising, but in fact, the moment Cassian saw the sight of the knights lining up, he even sighed.
Cassian walked slowly along the path created by the knights, feeling like he had no choice.
If this has happened, I have to reveal the owner’s ugly face to the world.
“Foot fuhahahahaha!!”
“Ahahahahahahaha!!!”
As Cassian walked among the knights, the knights burst into laughter one after another when they saw Frondier’s appearance.
“Ha, this is it.”
Sylvaine sighed. When the returning Frondier walked up with a handsome face on his face, I wanted to rejoice with the knights at his return.
No matter what, he couldn’t suddenly wake up the hero who guarded the wall, so Sylvain quietly watched as laughter broke out every time Frontier passed among the knights.
And at the end of the ranks formed by the knights.
“…omg!”
“Hmm.”
The knights quickly shut their mouths. I held my breath and held back the laughter that was about to burst out. My neck muscles must have been a little shocked by that just now. It was a laugh that I had to force myself to hold back.
“…Frondier.”
At the end of the line was Ampere. He ran without even riding a horse and saw Frondier.
The knights looked at each other. Ampere’s expression was difficult to read. Is he relieved that Frondier is alive, is he proud, or is he angry that he forgot the time and place and was sleeping?
Ampere placed his hand on the hair of Frondier, who was sleeping face down.
Jet-black hair. It’s the same hair color as him.
When you sleep, the world is peaceful around your eyes. His eyes resemble those of his wife, Malia.
Unlike his docile face, he has broad shoulders and a strong lower body. It is a symbol of the Göranhes and Roach families.
-I know that I was a distrustful child to my father.
-I have to pay for my laziness.
“…Hehe. “They said there was a price to pay.”
Ampere laughed. The knights who saw it up close almost pulled their reins in surprise.
“You still have a lazy face. Frontier.”
He said with a smile. His hard and honest face brightened up.
I can’t even remember the last time I laughed like that.
Ampere with that smile on his face.
‘…I see.’
Sylvain was convinced.
I thought Frondier, unlike Ajie, was really unsuited to be the son of a family head.
I understood everything with that smile from just now.
