Chapter 39 Fortress on the Border
When I left the house the next morning with the letter, it was still dark.
When I got to the outskirts of the village, I used celestial magic to form an off-road vehicle and rode on it.
Since then, we've done a lot of test runs and gotten used to the controls, and we've made further improvements.
The production of wind system magic instruments increased by 50%, based on five pieces.
Adjust the output by increasing or decreasing the number of magic devices, so it's like you have an accelerator in your head.
"When I get used to it, I'm going to increase the number of magic tools."
When I slowed down, I decided to turn off the magic weapon once and shoot backwards in a different direction.
"With this, it's now possible to slow down quickly."
The top speed is around 75 km/h, which is less performing than the bikes I sold in Huaxia in my previous life, but in this world, it is by far the fastest.
If the horse sprints at full speed, it should be able to reach the same speed, but the distance it can run is limited.
"Zealous, Hubo... Kiiin,Hubooo... Kiiiiiiii
Shoot forward and backward in corners to slow down, tilt the bike to accelerate when turning, decelerate abruptly before a series of corners, and accelerate with five artifacts after a hairpin bend.
The high-pitched voice of the wind artifact lifted my spirits.
The road north from the village is a winding uphill road, so you can't run at full speed, but the feeling of leaning your car and running through corners can be addictive.
After walking for about half a day, and by the time the sun rose, I finally climbed to the place where I could see the border fort.
Like a dam holding back the valley, Bislesburg was the northernmost point of the Kingdom of Shrundol.
On the other side of the fortress is neighboring Estoré, which crosses a rocky valley.
At the moment, they have friendly relations with Estoré, but there were fierce wars, and even now the fortress is crowded with soldiers of the Viscount Ragut and the Knights of the Kingdom.
Horacio, who was discovered by the Knights of the Kingdom during the departure ceremony, may return in triumph in the future.
Most of the soldiers in the fortress are guarding the border, but if a ferocious monster appears near Recun like this one, they will also come to help.
As I got off my bike and rushed over from the fortress, a canine guard with a spear shouted at me.
"Stop, where did you come from early in the morning? Give me your ID! ”
"I'm from Rehe Village, and a bronze wolf appeared in the mountains near the village, so I received a letter from the village chief asking for help."
"Bronze wolf! Okay, come with me! ”
Hearing that it was the bronze wolf, the guards confirmed my guild card, and their faces changed dramatically and invited me to enter the fortress.
Sneak in through the side door, through the side of the office, and storm into the Knights' building.
"Captain! A request for support from the village of Azca. The bronze wolf appeared. "
"What, where is the messenger, are you the messenger?"
"Yes, can I give me the letter from the village chief?"
"Oh, I'm Warren, captain of the Seventh Squad of the Knights of Ragut. Show me the letter. "
"Yes, that's it."
Warren is a lion man in his early thirties with a heavy red hue that gives the impression of being wild.
He is nearly two meters tall and can easily break my neck with one hand.
"It is written in the letter that you, the messenger, are an eyewitness"
"Yes, it's time to confirm the village crusade that takes place every fall, to hunt down goblins, and to confirm the location of their lairs."
When I briefly explained how the three goblins were arrested at once, Warren nodded repeatedly.
"It's definitely a bronze wolf, and I was lucky enough to find it when I was out of the village. Squad 7, ready to go! [The expedition was scheduled for twenty days, and the Eighth Squad was also preparing. Hey, can you tell me? "Where did you encounter the Bronze Wolf on this map?"
Looking at the map that Warren had brought out, I looked up the location where I had encountered the bronze wolf, and after crossing the mountain, I was halfway up the road to the village of Kidai.
Depending on the direction of the wind, the direction of the prey's escape, and the mood of the bronze wolf, it would not be a strange thing for him to go to Kiband Village.
"It seems that it is better to prepare for Kiyo Village."
The bronze wolf has a wide range of movements, and it is not uncommon to go over mountains and mountains.
Warren told him to wait here for a while, and then went to the commander and suggested that he send reinforcements to the village of Kidai.
"Even so, the place called the Knights is a place full of rough bastards, making it feel like a huge country, and it feels more like a long trip than the Adventurers' Guild in Ibro."
"Because this is a group of selected talents, after further training, there should be no people with delicate physique."
After Warren gave the order to prepare for mobilization, the atmosphere in the building suddenly became lively, and if he stood by any longer, he would be kicked out.
Warren returned after about 30 minutes with a combination of chainmail and leather armor instead of full plate armor.
"I've kept you waiting, we should be ready to leave soon, so please get into the carriage with the soldiers."
"I understand"
As I walked out the back door after Warren, I saw members lining up on the racecourse.
There were about a hundred people in total, all wearing the same gear as Warren.
"From now on, the seventh and eighth squads will go to the village of Azca together, and the assumed enemy is the Bronze Wolf. Prepare for the mission. Zagat, who is the emissary of the village of Azca. ”
"Ha, I see."
"Alright, let's go!"
"Hah!"
A bear man, who seemed to be Warren's adjutant, took us in a covered carriage with the soldiers.
"I'm a messenger from the village of Azca, please let me ride with you."
"Excuse me"
"Don't worry, I won't get in your way."
Compared to a soldier, he is only about half his height, and a simple calculation of the volume ratio is one-eighth.
"Actually, there seems to be a bigger difference, and it's probably not big enough to get in the way."
As soon as everyone boarded the ship, they lined up and left the fortress.
Because it was a knight order, I thought it would move faster, but the formation progressed more slowly than I thought.
One soldier spoke to me, probably to relieve the boredom on the road.
"Boy, you came to the fortress alone?"
"Yes, that's right"
"Is it in such a desperate situation that Remura let such a child come alone?"
"No, the bronze wolf hasn't approached the village yet."
"Then why did you come alone as a child?"
"I just ran away fast."
"But it looks like you've been through a lot of pain."
"Yes, it's a kobold wound.
"I see, you are small, but you are an adventurer."
"On the way to Remura, I learned a lot about the Knights."
The Royal Knights are stationed in the fortress of Bisreus, but the knights and soldiers of the Viscount Ragat family seem to be mostly responsible for supporting the village of Azca, among other things.
That being said, the Kingdom Knights won't do anything, and if the Knights of Viscount Lagatre send them to help, they will increase the department in charge of the fortress, and if they need further support, they will also be sent themselves.
"Although they have different positions, they seem to respect each other, guard the same fortress, and work together to carry out the mission."
Maybe it's because I'm dragging on two thoughts from my previous life, fantasizing about schemes like the tyrannical knights of the kingdom and the oppressed knights of the viscount family, but I don't think I would do it if I continued to clash over such trivial matters. can't defend the country and is ridiculed.
By the way, the reason why they move slowly seems to be in order to be ready for battle at any time.
If your horse runs too fast, whether it's fighting or escaping, you won't be able to cope with unexpected situations.
Moreover, the bronze wolf has not yet descended near the village, which seems to be one of the reasons for the slow progress.
Since it was almost downhill from the fortress of Bisleus, we returned to the village of Atsuga just before noon after a short break on the way.
As of yesterday, the news of the bronze wolf had spread throughout the village, and the villagers who were working in the fields were waving to welcome the arrival of the knights.
The group walked into the village chief's residence.
It seems that the reason why the garden of the village chief's house is so wide is because of this situation.
The mayor seemed to have expected them to arrive as early as the evening, and although he was surprised, he greeted the knights with a smile on his face.
Mr. Zeor, who had come with the village chief to greet me, spotted me and walked towards me.
"Hua Wuming, are you back?"
"yes, I think it's better to hurry."
"Well, if you don't mind, let's go to Ichiro. You should also let Kiyo know. ”
"Ah, yes, I'm fine, let's go right away."
Although we didn't come back for long, we decided to go to Ibro with Mr. Zeor.
