【Chapter 199】
At that moment.
“Archers, formation!”
At the Knight Commander’s words, the archers lined up in formation and drew their bowstrings.
“Fire!”
Twang-! Twi, twang!
Hundreds of arrows flew up into the cold northern sky before plummeting straight down.
“Kraaak!”
“Kaaaak!”
The monsters charging toward the ice wall writhed in pain from the arrows raining down like precipitation.
But perhaps due to the Monster Wave’s influence, they continued to limp and repeatedly climb up the ice wall only to fall, even while pierced by arrows.
It was as if corpses were moving.
That’s when it happened.
The face of a knight waiting behind the archers froze like ice.
“N-no way…”
A cracking sound came from the ice wall’s railing, and suddenly a dark green hand with sharp claws grabbed the railing and pulled itself up.
It was an orc.
“Monsters have climbed up onto the ice wall!”
As several archers startled and lost their stance, the Knight Commander shouted sharply.
“Archers, don’t mind them and reform! Knights, guard the ice wall in front of the archers! Slice the throats of all monsters climbing up!”
“Yes!”
Arrows pouring down.
Knights’ swords piercing the hearts of endlessly climbing monsters.
The Croste knights, experienced in monster subjugation, moved as one body despite hundreds being deployed.
Lucas also stood at the very front, having delegated command to the Knight Commander, slicing monsters’ throats.
But they hadn’t anticipated this.
“Kiiiiik!”
That flying monsters also existed in those deep snowy plains.
A chillingly unpleasant, high-pitched roar cut through the sky, and simultaneously something black passed over the knights.
A winged monster had crossed over the ice wall.
“How could such a thing…!”
Several archers hastily shot arrows and hit them, but other monsters took advantage of that gap to climb the ice wall.
“Ahhh!”
“S-Section A, the ice wall has been breached!”
Suddenly a knight was bitten in the throat by a monster, and the person beside him screamed out the situation.
The emergency bell within the ducal palace began ringing again.
‘Damn it.’
Lucas whipped his head around to look at Section A.
Knights who had been fighting monsters were being pushed back and falling below the ice wall.
It was only a matter of time before monsters entered the duchy.
“You, run to the butler immediately and tell everyone in the ducal palace to evacuate to the nearby village. And you, lock all the iron gates after everyone has escaped. The monsters must all be dealt with inside the castle!”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
After giving orders, Lucas pushed through knights and monsters to stand before the railing.
‘Where is Kail?’
If monsters had charged toward the ice wall, Kail would surely have followed to stop them.
His blue eyes frantically searched here and there, but finding Kail among the massive monsters wasn’t easy.
‘Damn it.’
Veins bulged on the back of his hand gripping the railing.
* * *
Meanwhile, when the emergency bell rang, everyone in the ducal palace began packing simple belongings and evacuating.
Nox was no exception.
“We must evacuate the Lady first!”
“T-the Lady, Lord Sedric went to find her.”
“I see. Then you evacuate too, and I’ll go toward the Lady with the butler.”
“Yes!”
Black wings cut across the sky above the reddish rising sun.
At the monsters’ appearance, people screamed and fled, or hurriedly began leaving the ducal palace.
And if there was a living being excluded from this evacuation—
“What about me?”
The baby dragon, the only one unaffected by the Monster Wave.
He was still trapped inside the cage.
Even in this situation, his body continued growing larger.
His lips protruded like a duck’s beak, wanting to get out of the narrow cage.
Thud, thud.
When he struck the floor with his tail in displeasure, the entire basement shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
“Kraaaak!”
“Kyaak, kyaaak!”
This excited the Peris, who gnawed at their cages, but his gaze full of dissatisfaction was directed toward the window.
“Ah, so noisy. When is Aisha coming?”
From the situation, it seemed monsters had appeared outside.
Just then, a monster appeared through the window and violently destroyed buildings.
‘I don’t act like that! I would listen well to Aisha.’
It was so unfair.
Then the baby dragon looked around and tilted his head slightly, muttering.
“…Should I try going out too?”
Since various monsters were already roaming around, Aisha might come to let him out.
Since that would happen anyway, if I go find Aisha first, she’d be even happier, right?
Having finished his absurd self-rationalization, the baby dragon swished his tail with an excited expression.
When his massive tail, five times thicker than a whip, struck the cage, the bars broke helplessly like twigs, creating a gap.
“Aisha, chicken breast!”
The baby dragon, who had been restless trapped in the narrow cage, spread his wings and flew into the sky as soon as he emerged from the training grounds.
‘Where is Aisha?’
Sniff sniff.
Following Aisha’s scent scattered in the air, he turned his head—
‘Over there!’
He saw a particularly brightly lit window on the 3rd floor of the massive main castle.
‘Aisha!’
The baby dragon’s eyes sparkled as he flew up toward the window.
* * *
If hell existed, wouldn’t it be exactly like this place.
People’s screams. The emergency bell sound growing louder like a heartbeat.
The ceiling and walls shaking because monsters were destroying buildings.
But the two men and I in the room said nothing, as if standing in the eye of a typhoon.
This is a disaster.
‘…Shouldn’t we be getting out of here?’
I glanced at the two men.
‘Am I the only one hearing the chaos outside…?’
I wanted to say something, but if I stepped between their gazes that seemed to be crackling, I felt like I’d get electrocuted.
My mouth wouldn’t move easily, so I was just waiting for the right timing.
Sedric broke the silence and spoke.
“What orders did Doctia give?”
Coming out of the bedroom and finding Aebin, he drew his dagger without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, his dagger was aimed at Aebin’s throat.
Thanks to that, Aebin raised both hands and clicked his tongue regretfully while smiling brightly.
“What orders? I quit being a spy too, you know?”
“If you’re going to lie, you should do it sincerely. How do you expect me to believe that?”
“Shouldn’t we have those conversations in a safe place…”
I finally opened my mouth after reading the situation, but.
“Do you know who helped you when you pretended to be a bishop and spread false information?”
Unfortunately, it was drowned out by Aebin’s provocative question.
“…Don’t tell me. So back then you were…”
“That’s right. I deliberately pretended not to know. I hadn’t felt good about King Burley from before then.”
‘Gasp, really? That’s a bit surprising.’
My eyes sparkled, but I came to my senses and shook my head.
Now it really seemed like the castle would collapse at any moment.
And if monsters had broken through the ice wall-
There was a high possibility that Kail was also nearby.
‘…Kail should be okay, right?’
I looked out the window with an anxious heart.
I wanted to go toward the ice wall and join up with Lucas.
To do that, I first had to calm down these two men.
‘But how?’
I looked back and forth at the ice ability user and poison ability user glaring at each other in front of me.
Despite Aebin’s explanation, the atmosphere was ready to start a fight at any moment.
‘If only the baby dragon were here, I could have grabbed both of them and escaped the castle…’
However, since he was trapped in a cage and couldn’t come, I had to somehow stop them myself.
“Why did you come here?”
“I wanted to ask Aisha something. Sedric, I have no intention of fighting. Even before you came, we were sitting very quietly just talking…”
“You two, really stop it now!”
When I shouted, the two men who had been menacing like they were filming a noir movie suddenly looked up.
“If you want to fight, escape first and then fight! And Brother Sedric, you promised Lucas. You said you’d save the people here if monsters came rushing in!”
Then Sedric furrowed his brow in confusion.
“…Aisha. But my priority is you,”
“Ability users will take care of their own lives, so let’s save the civilians! And Aebin!”
“Yeah?”
“Same goes for you. Protect the people!”
When I pointed at Aebin with my finger, he stood up from his seat with a face happy to receive a task.
“Are you coming with us too, Aisha?”
“Of course, let’s quickly evacuate to a nearby village…”
Crash-!
My action of hurriedly trying to leave the room came to a stop.
It was because of a huge shadow that suddenly broke through the window and entered.
“Aisha!”
