I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist

Episode 127. Siege Technique (3)

[Quest: Enter the 4th Southern Castle.]

[Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆]

[Reward: 3 Shop Coins]

A quest came to mind.

The condition is to enter the 4th castle.

There were no other conditions.

It was said that you could just dip your feet and come.

‘Would you like to come and see Iris’ face?’

The urge to break the quest quickly arose.

If you use ‘Choice and Focus’, it wouldn’t be too difficult to get in and out without being detected by the rebels.

oh sh*t.

You’ve used up all of ‘selection and concentration’ today…

The bone hurts.

It’s not because I’m worried about Iris who will never be alone in there.

I just want to finish the quest quickly.

okay. That was the only reason.

‘Are you here as a messenger at all?’

At least the rebels were the ones with common sense.

Like the Troud Kingdom Army, they were messengers and Nabals, and they were fighting desperately by killing everyone, but they were fighting with a fair amount of spare time and keeping all the moral laws.

oh Come to think of it, I must have lost all that leeway in the battle this morning.

In that situation, if a giant like me entered the castle as a messenger, it was obvious that he would immediately capture him.

Without ‘selection and concentration’, the probability of getting out of there is considered to be converging to 0…

sh*t. Now, the only thing left to do is take the castle.

“Eat quickly! You may have to leave soon!”

When I came out, Pellin was looking around the knights and urging them.

When you eat rice, leave it alone…

“Ah. You guys can eat slowly. There’s enough food, so if it’s not enough, take it all and eat it.”

“············”.

Meanwhile, prisoner management was also loose.

The prisoners, who were eating in a hurry, looked at the Pellin and became dazed, then looked at them and ate slowly.

I must have been very confused

Suin is standing on the side of the suppression forces and fighting, and even serving as the commander-in-chief.

That must have been of great help to castrate their will of resistance.

“Can I ask a question to the commander-in-chief of the suppression force?”

“Try it. Depending on the question, you may or may not answer.”

“Where are you from, Commander?”

“············”.

It was a sensitive question.

After pondering for a moment, Pellaine approached the prisoners, sat on a stump and parted their lips.

“If I go back to my ancestors, I would come from the Great Forest… but I was born and raised in the Empire.”

In the case of Pellain, they are descendants of beasts who immigrated to the Empire early without being able to withstand the great famine of the Great Forest.

Although he was not a slave, he was subjected to discrimination and contempt to the extent that slaves would be better off, and he could not escape from the life of the lower class for a long time.

It was Pellain who cut the line.

After learning martial arts through street fighting, he proudly enlisted in the Imperial Army and proved his ability in the Freyja-Trud War.

However, the superiors never gave Pellain the qualifications to take the knight exam, and Pellain, disillusioned with this, slaughtered the Imperial Army.

In the meantime, he met Taylor, a retired knight who taught swordsmanship to several orphans, and established a private knighthood.

The process, Pellin briefly and calmly explained.

“Wow…”

If it’s long, it’s long, if it’s short, it’s the story of a short life, so the prisoners started applauding.

Even the fact that he came from the bottom of his life to the head of a private knight would be enough legendary story for beasts.

But no one would believe me if I told her that she would later rise to the rank of First Swordsman.

It was obvious that even Pellin himself would deny that it was nonsense.

I thought there was no need for spoilers.

‘Well?’

At that moment, I felt a wave of magical power flying towards me.

Is it Iris’s communication magic?

I immediately received it, put the password in, and decrypted the signal.

– No evacuation order. Only the army is leaving. All that remains now is the minimum number of guards.

“her.”

That was pretty shocking news.

It’s been over 12 hours since the ceremony started, but you haven’t issued an evacuation order yet?

It should have been seen as leaving the villagers to die.

Besides, the location where the communication magic flew from is the 4th star.

In other words, Iris is still located in the 4th castle, and they were running away even leaving Saint Iris.

My head was dizzy at the unexpected response.

I wonder if I’m plotting something I don’t know.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a joke amongst the odds.

No, I didn’t have time to think like that.

The operation had to be executed immediately.

“Erica. Are you ready to start the ceremony?”

“Yeah! I can start it right now!”

“Okay. Then let’s run now.”

“Huh? What? Wasn’t this not going to work?”

“For what reason would you have drawn a recipe that would not even be executed. Start it right away.”

“No, Schulus. You know what this is. Are you kidding me?”

“I do the backseat.”

“No one can afford this!”

“Trust me, Erica.”

“············”.

Erica shut her mouth.

He pursed his lips as if to say something, then lowered his head.

“Is there anything else you can’t tell me?”

“············”.

“I’m afraid that if I find out, the operation will be disrupted. That’s why you don’t tell me on purpose? Is that so?”

“············”.

It was correct.

Fortress Erica’s eyes grew sharply.

“I believe in Schulus. I believe in not only your abilities, but also your personality.

“············”.

It was a painful word.

To be honest, if I asked if I had absolute trust in Erica, Einz, and Emilia, the answer would be no.

Except for Iris and Trie, everyone had subconsciously thought that one day they might betray me, or that I might betray them.

However, I thought that it would be difficult to bring about proper harmony with that kind of mental brain.

In the original work, Hurt Locker brought the empire and kingdom to union because of his ‘justice’, not because of his immense power.

Leadership by force is bound to cause resistance in the end.

“I trust you. I believe, so I’ll start it up without asking questions…”

The core of the ceremony moved in a jiffy.

With him, the clogged circuit was opened, and enormous magical power escaped from the vessel and spread throughout the rite.

No one would be unaware of the existence of the magic formula above the 4th star.

No matter how insensitive to mana, looking up at the sky could tell.

Because the density of mana was so high that the enormous energy was emitting visible light.

The unintentionally visualized technique was showing off its majesty.

“Commander-in-Chief. We must sortie now.”

“Okay, Schulus-sama. Everyone! It’s dispatch!”

At Pellain’s command, the knights who had brought their horses in an instant began to run out through the open front door.

I quickly grabbed Tree’s hand and climbed on the back.

The goal is 4 stars.

Suddenly, the gigantic rite took on a terrifying red light, and a blazing haze was drawn in the sky.

“Oh My God······.”

Cheers came from all over the place.

The sun was coming out from the ceremony.

no it wasn’t the sun

It was a red fireball.

For those who see it for the first time, it may be difficult to even understand that the shape is a sphere.

It would look as if a red plate was coming down from the appearance alone.

How would you react if you found out that it was part of a giant sphere?

It was true that there was a little bit of expectation, but it shouldn’t have happened to see the reaction.

“Charge! We’re going to do it as planned!”

as per operation.

Knights must be known as a strategy to infiltrate the castle before the fireballs fall and rescue Saint Iris.

It was dangerous to tell the whole operation.

Because you never know where the spy might be hiding…

‘It would be good.’

If this morning’s great victory was a meticulous operation made in anticipation of the enemy’s rational and rational judgment, this one was the opposite.

It means that, in reality, it is no different than a gambler, who sees this tremendous magic with their own eyes and expects that the enemy’s reason will be paralyzed.

And the effect seems to have been enough.

Now, looking up at it from afar, you could see the souls on the faces of the knights.

How would it feel to look up from the vertical as the sun-like fireballs are falling more and more?

You’ll be terribly shocked and terrified.

As long as the courage of the people of this world was not ten times that of the people of the Earth, it was judged that no one would be able to deal with it calmly even after seeing it.

“Don’t slow down! Full speed!”

The proof was this peaceful run.

If you approach this far, arrows should already be flying from the wall.

Not a single soldier could be seen on the wall.

Now the whole castle looks like it’s been shattered, but if there’s a guy who shoots an arrow to stop some knights from rushing into the wall, he’d be a real madman.

“Everyone, stick to the wall!”

“Yes!”

They arrived right in front of the castle gate without any resistance.

tightly closed gates.

There was no way to get through this by ordinary means.

It would require Sergei-class physical strength, or equivalent magical power, to destroy it…

There was another way to break through without it.

“Stand out.”

“···········?”

As the knights were making their way, I approached the gate and laid my hand on it.

It was quite quiet beyond that.

If the guards confirmed that we were approaching, they would build a barricade from the other side or reinforce the gate.

I didn’t feel any movement like that.

It looked like it could work like this.

“Everyone, let’s forget the sight that will unfold for 10 seconds from now.”

“Yes? What is that…”

“It was said that those who speak recklessly will be punished severely.”

First of all, since all the knights here have their origins and identities clear, you won’t have to worry about spies.

Still, the more people you know, the greater the risk of information getting into the spy’s ears.

So I put my thumb down.

never tell me

They die by orders and live by orders, so they won’t disobey my words as a knight directly under the emperor.

Wei Yiying…!

When I turned on the internal circuit, I felt my whole body suddenly become hot.

Magical energy was circulating and overheating the body.

Then he stretched his right hand to the side.

Now it was time to release this magical energy.

Geeing…!

“Uh…!”

A blue light beam slowly erupted from his palm.

It was pulled out endlessly and stopped at a length that exceeded the length of a human arm.

Pot!

As they clenched their fists, the pillar of light took on the shape of a greatsword in an instant.

Bape. It was the moment when the weapons of the demons lost in the ancient war were presented outside the Imperial University.

“············”.

I passed the knights with bewildered expressions and inserted the barpe into the gate.

The flash pierced the wooden gate without much resistance.

In that state, he swung his arms wide and split the gates.

It didn’t need that much power.

Because Bape’s incredible cutting power shredded this tough wood as softly as if it were cutting a cake.

When the bape was pulled out, a large, semicircular, scorched mark was left on the gate.

You kick it with your feet…

Koo!

There was a hole in the gate that was large enough for a person to enter and exit.

As expected, there were no spearmen or barricades waiting behind the gates.

When I looked back, everyone was confused and couldn’t take their feet off it.

It’s a situation where we fight for every second.

It seemed that I had to take the lead.

“I’ll rush in first. Follow me.”
