Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 83

Chapter 24 Tayburn (5)

I returned to the waiting room with Robert.

Selena was sent to the mansion. It seemed like there would be arguments here and there if Selena was around.

They told me to hide, whether it was Mangot or the mansion, so I guess I went somewhere on my own.

After all the drivers, including me, had gathered in the waiting room, a man came in.

“nice to meet. My name is Sanders, the leader of the Knights of the Shroud. Starting today, I will take command at Tavern. I’m counting on you.”

A solid physique with a solemn face. The looks in the eyes of the drivers who heard Sanders’ introduction made Lee Chae look younger for a moment. It was because of the introduction of the Knights of the Shroud rather than Sanders’ name.

The Order of the Shroud is one of the oldest knightly orders on the continent.

To put it simply, the Knights themselves existed even before Constell’s Chief Ospreet was at his peak, and were the Knights who stood by the other ‘Zodiacs’ when they established the boundary between humans and monsters.

Now, a lot of time has passed and he has lost his place as the best on the continent, but he is still the object of envy among many knights due to his nature as a knight who values tradition and discipline.

“There may be some who are dissatisfied with leaving the Order and staying in an unfamiliar place, but at least while you are in Tavern, you must follow my words.”

It was a natural story. A knight without a chain of command is not a knight. Everyone in the waiting room silently nodded.

Sanders looked at me.

“Frondier, you are not a knight, but it is the same. “Be prepared.”

“yes.”

“I don’t care whether you are a nobleman or a student. This is Tavern. “As long as you said you would come, there will be no special treatment.”

“yes.”

I answered twice with the same high and low pitch. Sanders looked at me for a moment. There was worry and anxiety in that gaze.

It was as if he was looking at a child thrown into the water. Although the situation is worse than that.

“…And today, Princess Aten decided to personally inspect the troops and facilities here.”

This time, the knights let out cheers.

I secretly sighed.

Wow, that guy really came here.

“He will be here soon, so you guys don’t relax and be disciplined—”

Knock.

Before Sanders could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.

“This is Aten. may I come in?”

It was a familiar voice. A clean and neat voice, yet comfortable and without any sense of authority.

“Oh yes. “I’ll open it right away.”

A pure white woman slowly walked through the door that Sanders hastily opened.

The knights were amazed. I was a little surprised on the inside too.

Aten is already pure white, but today he is wearing silver armor to match. Even when I was wearing my school uniform, it was as clear as snow, but now it’s as bright as winter sunlight.

“This is Aten. “I am here to provide even a small amount of help to all of you, even though it is too much for you.”

Aten was Aten everywhere. Just as polite and calm as I first encountered at Constel.

Aten, who was looking around at the knights, looked at me. But soon, my gaze naturally shifted elsewhere. It was natural.

“Let’s take a look at the barrier first.”

* * *

Time passed and it was late at night.

Ridwi felt his head throbbing as he looked at Cybel standing proudly in front of him.

“…Where do you come from again?”

“and! “Isn’t the difference in treatment from Aten too drastic?”

“Then will I treat the princess the same way as the princess, who I don’t even know where she came from?”

It was such a valid statement that Cybel pursed her lips before responding.

But Ridwi was being polite in his own way. If it had been any other girl, she would have been kicked out at the door.

‘The princess said we were friends.’

Lidwi looked at Saibel quietly.

The facial expressions and gestures are strangely coquettish. Plus, she was so good-looking that most of the boys in Constel would be captivated by her.

…I think I saw a similar guy recently.

Squeak –

At that time, the door to the mansion opened.

It was Aten who came in. It had already been snowing, and Aten brushed off the snow that had accumulated on his head outside and came in.

Even if it’s not winter, it snows in Tavern. In Tavern, the concept of ‘winter’ is simply another name for the rampage of monsters outside due to food shortages.

“Matriarch, the walls are not in good condition.”

“Well, I know.”

Actually, it’s not that bad. Very serious. The outer edges were already cracking, and the parts with holes were being soldered by gathering whatever materials were available.

The monsters outside were particularly intelligent, so it was only a matter of time before the weakness of the barrier was discovered.

“Wouldn’t it be right to come up with something?”

“of course. However, princess, I would be presumptuous to ask you something.”

“yes? “What is it?”

One of Reidwi’s eyes was deeply bent.

“I’m just asking, do you have any relationship with the Frontier guy who came first?”

“That can’t be right.”

Aten responded immediately. As if it made no sense. There was no emotion in that expression.

“Hmm, I see. This was rude. “As I get older, it seems like my rules also grow with me.”

“no. First of all, the barrier is a problem. “Shouldn’t we hurry and reinforce it?”

Aten brushed it aside and brought up the topic.

Ridwi stroked his chin.

“That’s right. But this is not easy.”

“What if I say it’s not easy?”

“The monster’s attack cycle has begun to shorten. Therefore, there is no room for reinforcement. However, the amount of monsters that come in at a time has decreased.”

Aten’s eyes narrowed at Ridwi’s answer.

“In other words, the monsters are intentionally interfering with the restoration of the wall?”

“That’s how it looks to me. But no matter how smart the monsters are, their lives are precious to them, so how can they commit such wasteful actions…”

Frequent attacks from monsters.

As a result, there is no room to repair the wall, but from the perspective of each monster, such an attack is just a disaster. Since his intelligence is high, he would know it better.

But how is this possible?

“There is a leader.”

Ridwi’s concerns were heard elsewhere.

It was Frontier coming down the central stairs of the mansion. Selena was also next to him.

“leader?”

“yes. Just like us, monsters also have someone in command. “Whether you are a monster or a human, ‘dog death’ can only be done if you receive an order.”

Hoo.

Ridwi, intrigued by Frontier’s hypothesis, asked.

“Then who is that? Is there someone stronger who can gather the monsters outside? “I’ve never seen a guy like that before.”

“There is no need to subjugate the monsters outside with force. for example.”

While Frontier and Ridwi were having a serious conversation, Aten and Cybel had their eyes fixed on one place.

It was Selena next to Frontier.

“….”

“….”

Aten and Cybel were looking at Selena expressionlessly.

Literally without any facial expression. Like people who don’t know what facial expressions are.

It was so scary to a third party that even Selena, who was maintaining her composure, glanced at the two for just a moment.

“…Oh, I guess I didn’t know the situation and didn’t say hello to the princess. sorry.”

Frontier noticed Aten and greeted him.

No, I knew it was there from the beginning, but the expression on his face was unusual, so I spoke to him. Because it was awkward to suddenly treat the student I met at Constel as a princess.

I thought that the reason Aten didn’t say anything was because he was offended, but Aten responded without even a millimeter change in his expression.

“…yes. nice to meet you. Frontier.”

Is it a machine or something?

Frontier also greeted Cybel next to him.

“Hello, Cybel. “I really didn’t know you would come here too.”

“…huh. me too. nice to meet you.”

Exactly the same expression as Aten.

At this point, Frontier was starting to get quite scary as well. It feels like watching a horror movie.

At that time, Aten raised his hand.

“this person is?”

After confirming that the pointing hand was towards Selena, Frondier spoke.

“Oh, I hired an escort. This is Tavern. “I feel a bit anxious and dangerous alone.”

Frondier brought out an excuse he had prepared in advance.

“I see. escort. huh. I see.”

Saibel muttered as if thinking about it.

He was clearly muttering exactly what he heard, but it didn’t seem like he was listening.

“…Then I’ll go. “I need to check the watch number and guard duty number.”

Frondier felt somewhat uncomfortable and left. Selena followed suit.

Until the moment Frontier left the mansion, Aten and Cybel did not say a word or even flinch an eye.

And after Frontier was completely gone.

Cybel took a deep breath.

“What is he? What is that girl? “What is that maid wearing that needlessly obscene maid uniform?”

“I know exactly who you are talking about.”

“Is that an escort? How can you have an escort like that? What kind of clothes is the escort wearing like that? “What kind of body and face does the escort have?”

“I know what you want to say.”

Looking at the two chatting enthusiastically, Lidyu made a bewildered expression.

Just one thing.

All I knew was that Aten’s claim that he had nothing to do with Frontier was a complete lie.

* * *

As Ridwi said, the monsters will frequently attack in small groups over the next few days.

Instead of giving them life, they don’t even give them time to fix the wall. The plan is to find a clear weak spot in the wall and destroy it all at once. However, until then, the strategy is to discard monsters as expendable items.

There is a commander who focuses on highly intelligent and powerful monsters from outside.

But for me, it was a good thing first.

I needed to adapt after coming to Tavern, and there was still a lot of training I needed to do.

Thump, thump, thump!

A loud bell rings. A dark atmosphere boils in the distance beyond the barrier.

The prison door opens and prisoners crawl out one by one through the narrow alley leading to the exit of the barrier.

The soldiers stood behind it and the knights lined up on the walls.

“Hey you crazy guy.”

A knight called me from next to me. It seemed like my title had already become ‘crazy’ among the knights.

“Cheer up. Because I bet on ‘today’.”

He grins and taps my shoulder.

Previous bet. How many days will I die?

Anyway, you bet on the first day of battle. It’s not that he’s ignoring me, he’s just addicted to gambling.

“You shouldn’t feel safe just because you’re on the wall. Anyway, it’s our turn after the prisoners and soldiers. There are a lot of people who climb the castle wall, people who knock on the door, people who fly, people who jump up to here in the air. “Do you understand the situation now?”

The driver was talking incessantly, annoyingly.

Meanwhile, monsters appeared. They all came out of the distant fog and were running towards this place like crazy.

“Don’t let your guard down just because it’s not winter! “Just one monster outside can cause numerous casualties!”

Sanders shouted loudly.

All the humans gathered to block the barrier took their stances. Most of them probably prepared to die.

Particularly dangerous are those with wings. Those who ignore the defenses are the main culprits that take the lives of knights.

What I’m saying is that the driver who was muttering next to me didn’t say anything wrong. I also looked straight ahead and looked for things flying around.

“Ready for battle! aiming!”

Sanders’ command was heard. I could see the number of winged monsters in my field of vision.

…Hmm, if the number is that high.

“Menosorpo.”

“…ok? what?”

The guy talking next to me stupidly asked back.

Simultaneous replication of

Menosorpo air weaving

. By leveling up

from the 1st to the 10th system of Changjong in the

Imperial Palace Armory , the number of simultaneous weavings possible has increased to 10.

Different windows floating in the air around me. All of them were targeting the fearless monsters that were approaching.

The knight next to me stopped talking and looked at them blankly. There were some knights I hadn’t seen yet, but the knights around me were slowly paying attention to the sight.

“launch!!”

Sanders said.

It clearly said fire.

I fired all 10 spears, and

each one struck down the winged monsters one by one.

I’m not sure what the monsters I killed looked like, just by looking at them roughly.
