All Warriors Are My Disciples

134. Disciples (2)

Kukkuk-.

Lily’s slender fingers pressed hard against Garam’s neck.

At first glance, it doesn’t seem to hurt no matter how hard you press.

While swinging her mace with that hand, Lily broke the head of the first Demon God Fragment.

Of course, just because someone is weak on the outside doesn’t mean they’re weak on the inside.

“… How are you?”

“Hey, can you not press too hard? It hurts to the extent that it doesn’t hurt when you press it like that.”

“It’s because Ambassador Garam had a criminal record that he kept trying to put up with.”

“Sorry, sorry. So you apologized Not anymore.”

“… Are you sure you’re not sick?”

“Really. I can breathe fine now. No matter how much of a fox I am, I have no intention of doing anything while going against Master’s words. If things go wrong, Master will be very disappointed in me.”

“I’m glad you think so.”

After that, Lily withdrew her hand with her divine power.

In response to the divine hero’s reaction, Garam looks at him with a look in his eyes, saying, ‘Is it done now?’

“You are completely healed. You can move now.”

“… Whoa. Finally, finally! Xenia, you are free from the nagging of that damn thing!”

“Are you liberated?”

“Of course!”

“This is strange. I had a strange feeling that you were enjoying it.”

“… It’s crazy? Why do I enjoy Xenia’s nagging?”

“You may not know it, but I and Sister Daisy felt it.”

“Such a terrible sound! No, that’s it! Why do you think I enjoy that nagging?!”

It’s Garam who screams like he’s really dumbfounded.

The ears are erect, the fur is stiff, and the tail is straight.

Should I say that I am in the middle of announcing ‘I feel bad!’ With all my heart.

At that, Lily shrugged her shoulders, saying, Let’s move on.

“You’d better be careful. It took more than two weeks to completely heal the wound.”

“Honestly, for the past week, you have been forcibly holding on to it.”

“Perfect physical condition is the way to bring out the best power. The enemies we faced were in a weakened state. Even so, it inflicted fatal wounds on the ambassador. If only you had been held a little longer. If Master hadn’t drawn the full moon, I believe you would know what it would have been like.”

“… Of course. It’s good if he’s seriously injured, and in the worst case, I wouldn’t be here.”

As he said that, Garam gently stroked his neck.

Now, the pain and discomfort have completely disappeared.

The time when the fragment of the Demon God grabbed his neck was a truly horrific experience.

At first, the heat as if it had been burned, followed immediately by the pain of being struck by lightning.

It wasn’t just the wounded area that was painful.

His strange aura penetrated inside and collided with his bet, causing an explosion.

At the same time, my airway was blocked and even breathing became difficult.

As Lily said, if he had been held a little longer, he would recuperate for a few months.

Otherwise it must have been buried and slowly decaying.

“To think there’s another vicious bastard like that. Even he will become stronger.”

“I’m glad it ended with just one. When another shard shows up, it’s the worst of the worst.”

“Okay. I don’t think that’s necessarily the case.”

“What do you mean?”

“The second enemy. He’s the one who bloomed from the blood of the capital and his life. That means he has to make a huge sacrifice to bring out one of his enemies. But Master said so. Enmity grows stronger by eating the fear and fear created in the world, as well as blood and life.”

“… Are you saying that to get one, you must give up the other?”

“Yes. If you’re going to bring out a new enmity, the second enmity needs to be delayed for a while. Conversely, if the second enmity wants to grow stronger, you should delay eliciting a new enmity.”

“… That is definitely a very likely prediction.”

“Master already agreed. The day before I left, I spoke to you once.”

Then Lily said, ‘If Master reacted that way, the chances are even higher.’

The wisdom of their teacher was such that even Taesabu admired it.

“Well, no matter what happens, we have to move quickly. Whether the hostility grows stronger, or whether the hostility increases. Whatever it is, it’s all bad for us, right?”

Clap-.

Garam said as he put the sword he had on his side around his waist.

A weapon bestowed from Namgoonghyeon with a red sheath decorated with a golden brush.

It was something Garam valued as much as his own life.

“I heard the news. They say they seem to be moving already.”

“Yes. I thought it would be quiet for about a month, but it seems not.”

“You got the direction very well. Now that I can’t gather any more pseudos, I’m just going to bite them. Whether you shake it with words or with force, in the end it shakes the same.”

“The first news came from the north.”

“Of course, this is where Gerard and Iris are headed.”

“Maybe there is hostility there?”

At Lily’s question, Garam seemed lost in thought for a moment.

After the hostility disappeared, a full-scale attack began again from the north.

Monsters attack the outlying villages without a single survivor.

It was said that they killed and ate everyone and turned the area into a mess.

So at first, I thought there was a chance that there would be hostility.

But thinking about it again, that wasn’t necessarily the case.

“From my point of view, I don’t think so.”

“Why?”

“Wouldn’t it be strange if there was really hostility there? If the attack started, the warriors would head there right away. It makes no sense to expose your location.”

“It could be an ulterior motive to lure the warriors away.”

“It could be. But already? When the second hostility appeared, he gave up the fight and departed. Even though there are two demons around him who can follow him.”

“… Are you saying he isn’t perfect yet?”

“It was then and it is now.”

“If it were not, it would be absurd to call a hero. Because he could be hurting himself.”

At that, Garam nodded his head in affirmation.

Rather than luring the warriors to himself.

On the contrary, there was a high possibility of dropping the warriors as far away from him as possible.

Even if it’s the blood flowing elsewhere and the dying lives anyway.

Because hostility can eat them up.

It’s enough because I’m not there.

“The wound must have healed now, me and Xenia should move quickly.”

“We should wait and get ready to go right away.”

“Yes. Other than that, is there any other news?”

Lily was almost a resident of her palace because of King Carlos II and her Princess Catherine.

Thanks to this, she was able to reach the news that reached the royal family very easily and naturally.

“Actually, it seems that there are some problems in the south as well.”

“… South?”

“Yes. Some villages disappear without a trace, and monsters are said to be sighted at night.”

“Wait a minute. Did you just say south? Are you sure?”

“Yes. It’s clear. It is very far south, very remote, though.”

“… Master is there.”

“Yes.”

“Master Tae is also there. Esther and Iris are there too.”

Lily slowly nodded at Garam’s words.

The hero of the sword, who blinked for a moment, let out a sigh.

“I hope there is no hostility there.”

Because you’ll have to deal with two of the most formidable enemies in history.

At the time the other warriors were still staying in the castle.

Gerard and Iris had already reached the north as Namgoonghyeon ordered.

It’s not like Garam was seriously injured.

There is nothing to do in the royal castle like Lily or Daisy.

Then, she suggested that it would be better to leave the castle quickly.

Thanks to that, the two suddenly and brutally attacked around the time.

I was able to reach the north at the right time.

“Death penalty. What are you going to do? Are you going to clear the outskirts right now?”

“… If you listen to the stories of the scouts here, they say that all the monsters have already dispersed.”

“Where else do you gather? Wow! They will attack more from town to town. Wouldn’t it be better to find it and catch it before that? If another village is passed over like this, the security will be at its worst.”

In spite of Iris’ opinion, Gerard remained silent.

Originally, Gerard would have said that he had to defend himself first.

However, the hero of the guardian was hesitant, so Iris had no choice but to be absurd.

“Death penalty? Are you listening to me? Kill Gerard!”

“Simple wasting time.”

“… To?”

“This is just a simple distraction. They’re trying to hold us here as much as possible with nothing but miscellaneous soldiers. It is clear that the main focus will be elsewhere.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“It’s Jung-gu heating. It’s too crude to be seen as their way. First of all, we go to work when word has come that we’re coming? It just keeps mixing low-level monsters with intermediate-level monsters and infesting the area. To make it look like there is a great power here.”

“… Then what shall we do? Will you leave it like this?”

Gerard shook his head, of course meaning no.

Then he watched the knights quietly waiting for the next order behind him.

“He has already explained to you. Even without me, you can do just fine.”

“Of course.”

“Things over there are just scraps of them. You can overpower them enough. Don’t be swayed, just stand firm and show it. Even if we don’t call a hero, we can do it.”

“… Execution?”

It was Iris who was surprised by the sudden situation.

The same goes for Gerard who does that to the knights who follow him.

The same goes for people who accept it very meekly.

“Wait a minute, the death penalty. They’re a group that follows the death penalty. However, if the death penalty is omitted, the central point will disappear, but will this be maintained?”

“I can’t rely on the real thing called a hero forever. You have to lean on something more important than that.”

“What is that?”

“To protect our world with our own hands.”

As Gerard said, he looked towards the city.

“It will be important for you to let your followers know that from now on. Now, instead of just hitting and fighting in front, we have to teach people how to protect themselves and fight.”

“You mean to train normal people? You want to teach me how to hold a weapon?”

“Yes.”

“Is that going to work? It’s not like we can teach for one or two years. It should be only one month. What are these people dealing with? At least a low-level monster? No matter how good you are, you are a mid-level monster.”

“Enough. That should be enough.”

“Death penalty? Are you joking with me now?”

Gerard shook his head at Iris’s words.

His face is full of seriousness.

Because of this, Iris couldn’t help but sigh.

“It is not only the power to fight that is important. The will must be followed as well. The heart that fighting is not the warrior, but everyone. Only with that will the world not collapse further. And that heart, of course, is the belief in oneself. It comes from the confidence that you can fight evil things.”
