69 – Barbarian Village

When I saw the 2m-tall barbarians wielding gigantic axes and bursting through the undead, I stopped fighting and watched. I had no choice but to.

“Urachacha!!!”

When I swung the huge ax once in the air, dozens of skeleton soldiers around me were shattered.

Some turned their bodies 360 degrees and cut the undead in half in an instant.

“Fire!!”

Pot! Papababat!!

As the barbarians advanced through the undead hordes, the regular troops behind them were approaching, shooting arrows.

“Gilbert?”

Irene shouted as she approached a man commanding a regular army behind the barbarians,

A man named Gilbert, who had the same silver hair as Irene, saw Irene and ran towards her with surprised eyes.

“Sister!!”

“Gilbert, how are you…?”

“I saw the undead of Kroll flocking to this place, so I came to see what was going on… I thought my sister would be here…”

As the barbarians appeared and my work diminished, I stopped the battle for a moment and approached Irene.

“Irene, who is that?”

“This is my younger brother. Warrior. Gilbert, hello. You are a warrior.”

When Irene introduced me and said that I was a warrior, Gilbert hurriedly stood up with a surprised face and greeted me politely.

“It is an honor to meet you. Warrior! My name is Gilbert Alsmeyer.”

“Ah… Yes…”

“First of all, I will finish the battle here and serve you properly.”

“Yes. I guess so.”

The barbarians were going through the undead almost like chopping them up with their axes, but they didn’t think of reducing the number because they were so numerous.

“Ice Block”

In place of me, who was unable to use wide-area magic due to the mixture of barbarians and undead, Irene summoned a huge block of ice that was easy to control and attacked.

“Ice Block”

Continuing, her younger brother, Gilbert, also summoned a huge block of ice to break through the undead.

And after a while…

The undead that had been flocking towards us stopped in place and began to scatter,

Some of the undead that approached us were rendered incapacitated by the regular army’s arrows.

“Hero~~~”

Kir, who came back after killing the necromancer, looked at the barbarians standing around and looked away, then came to me and embraced them as they were.

“Whoa~ Did I do well? Warrior?”

Kir is hanging on as if asking for praise.

Unlike usual, sweat was forming on her forehead and she was breathing hard… It seemed that she was quite overpowered today.

“Yes. Great job. Was it hard?”

“What is the power… hehehe… The necromancer is farther away than I thought.”

“Then did you go through there?”

“Yes.”

I don’t know how far away the necromancer was, but it seemed like the distance was significant enough for Kir to suffer this much.

This is a mission that can only be performed by Kir, who can move swiftly between enemies with quick attacks targeting vital points…

If I had gone to kill the necromancer, most of the places where the undead were standing would probably have been burned.

“Hero, since this place is being roughly finished, I will guide you to the village where we are stationed.”

Gilbert approached me while I was talking with Kir..

He took the lead with Irene, saying he was the guide, and we started walking through the blizzard following them.

*

The place where Gilbert went was in a mountain not far from the capital…

This was originally a village of one of the barbarian tribes, and is now used as a headquarters for the resistance to reclaim the Duchy of Alsmeyer.

“Oh my God… A place like this existed…”

On the other hand, Irene, who had been here for the first time, was looking around the town with wide eyes.

“I came here not long after my sister left.”

“How did you get the tribes here anyway? You wouldn’t have helped us outright?”

As far as I know, the barbarians are divided into their own tribes, and their fighting skills and bravery were comparable to those of the continent’s strongest,

The Dwarves hated being in harmony with others, so they were an original tribe enough to cause friction with the Principality of Alsmeyer several times.

Brave warriors, to put it mildly,

To put it badly, calling them barbarians might be the answer…

“Irene?”

At the time Irene wondered about the situation…

I heard the voice of a middle-aged woman coming from the entrance of a building, so I stopped talking and looked back.

“Uh… Mother…”

After confirming the identity of the person calling her, Irene ran and hugged her, and her mother also hugged Irene and did not speak for a while.

“Irene, how have you been? I heard that she joined the warrior party. Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Yes.”

Irene’s mother…

She must have been Queen Andrea, once the queen of this place ….

Now, the dignified figure of the queen was nowhere to be found, and the appearance of her wearing the same clothes as commoners did not match the way she spoke and behaved.

“Irene, let’s go inside. Her blizzard is getting worse. Please come inside, too.”

I hesitated, not knowing what to call her now, but I missed her timing to answer her, so I went in first.

I grabbed the hands of Lucia and Kir, who were standing next to me, and followed them into the building.

*****

On the highest terrace in the palace of the Duchy of Alsmeyer, there was someone watching the undead outside the castle…

“Balach, I withdrew the Necromancers as you said.”

Seir, the only one among the Demons who carries a spear rather than a sword, was standing behind Balak on the terrace when he came up.

“As expected.. Seir-sama, are you quick at running away?”

“What!? What’s up?”

“hahahahaha, just kidding. Joke. Get angry about something and that’s it. Ho Ho.”

“Unlucky bastard…”

Even when Ballack teases him with sarcasm, Sayr turns his face away and curses in a low voice.

He didn’t think to complain or talk to him.

In the Demon King’s Army, power meant rank, so even if they were the same Four Heavenly Kings, the ranks of the two were clearly lined up.

“Looking at it earlier, it looks like we lost some necromancers… why didn’t you retreat in time?”

“For not to retreat in time!! Do you know how fast that damn Kirr b*tch is? They beat the undead in an instant and come to the place where the necromancer is! Tell me what to do!”

Seir, feeling once again the speed at which Kir was breaking through enemy lines, shouted out loud to Balak as if he was unfair,

As if to ridicule him, Ballack raised one corner of his mouth and slowly opened his mouth.

“To be afraid of the lowly Dark Elves, not even the Four Heavenly Kings… Sir Seir? Are you the Four Heavenly Kings? hahahahaha, this is so… It’s embarrassing, so don’t tell me you’re a demon.”

“You…Really..!!”

Sayre, angry at Balach’s ridicule, eventually ran to him at once and grabbed him by the collar.

“Why? Do you want to hit it? Whoa… I can’t catch that lowly Dark Elf, so I must have the courage to deal with it?”

“That… that…”

Balak’s smiling face disappears at Seir’s actions, and his face gradually becomes hardened…

Sensing that he had made a mistake, Seir quickly cleared his face and lowered his voice to reply in a low voice.

“Saire-sama?”

“…..”

“Saire-sama?”

“Ugh… Yeah…”

“Would you like to search? Today?”

“Ah… No…”

“Why are you so proud to say that you are proud after losing a valuable necromancer…?”

“Mi… I’m sorry… Ballack… My… I was wrong…”

Balak, who was slowly approaching Seir, stopped walking, leaving about 10cm of his face with him.

Without blinking an eye, he glared at him with all his life force, and Seir was trembling in fear to the point of tingling in his hamstrings.

“Saire-sama?”

“Ugh… Yes.”

“If you can’t even bite, don’t bark. You have to take a look at your opponent.”

“Mi.. I’m sorry.. Ballack…”

Balak, who had certainly been subdued by Sayre, finally loosened his face and returned to the terrace with a smile on his face as before.

“By the way, our hero must have entered the barbarian village well~ Mr. Seir? Did you follow well?”

“Ugh… Yeah…”

Balach was sitting on the railing of the terrace, looking at the mountain that seemed to be where the hero entered, and forced himself to laugh.

“hahahaha, like an idiot… To bite the bait we threw… hahahaha. Isn’t it? Sir Seir?”

“Uh… Yes… That… Yes…”

“It won’t be long before we learn the location of the demonic sword with this. Ha ha ha ha ha,”

Balark waited for the party of warriors to leave the palace and partly sent necromancers and undead to attack…

His intention was to induce Gilbert and the barbarians to come out after seeing the scene, and then follow them back to the mountain to find their base.

Then, the only person in the principality who knows the dungeon where the sealed demonic sword is hidden,

It was to find former Queen Andrea, the eldest of the dukedom’s royal family, the mother of the Duke of Reggio and Gilbert, and the mother of the warrior party Irene.

“Saire? Now, let’s prepare for the next operation.”

“Huh? Yeah… But is it really okay to release all the prisoners?”

“Yes. Release them all. They are going to die sooner or later anyway… Leave them to enjoy their freedom for a while.”

“Yeah… Ok…”

“And release them all, then go after them right away. Then maybe a party of barbarians and warriors will come out of the mountain, and then I will go into the mountain and capture former Queen Andrea.”

“Yeah… I get it…”

Seir, who answered with his head bowed, gnashed his teeth so that Balak could not see him.

Balach couldn’t bear to hear the sound as he was thinking about the ancient magic sword that would soon come into his hand.
