Dear My Knight

4. Chersha Kalua – (15)

***

Deep in the north where the snow does not melt all year round due to the extreme cold. And in the space near the outskirts, there was a coexistence of the green and yellow colored vegetation in the fall.

The appearance of such a northern mountain range was directing a bizarre sight that seemed strange at first glance.

The bizarre scenery that even makes you feel as if you are going against the providence of nature.

“…”

Out of the walls of the city of Glia, in the distance, black dots that looked like a group of demons were occupying the huge mountain range in the north.

It was such a large group of monsters that even on the walls of Glia that were so far away, the existence of the beasts could be confirmed.

“…The situation is worse than expected.”

The Glia branch manager looking at the mountain range from the top of Glia’s castle wall. Harjan shook his head slightly.

“Still, I must say that I am lucky, aren’t there many monsters in the city now?”

And next to Harjan, Gallia, an A-class mercenary and shooter, spoke calmly.

“A monster, Gaul… Speak your words clearly.”

Harjan, frowning slightly, bruises Gallia lightly. You’re a monster They are now more than anyone else’s support force.

“But what is a 5th tier wizard at the age of 17, if that isn’t a monster? In terms of a mercenary, he just passed the A-class at the age of 17.”

“Anyway, be careful where they are. Anyway, a fifth-tier wizard visiting Glia just in time, doesn’t it seem like a divine arrangement?”

“Well, I guess… I mean. So instead of monsters, we call them God’s reinforcements. Then.”

As Gallia said, there were still quite strong reinforcements in the city of Glia.

A 5th tier magician, rarely seen in the north, was residing within the city of Glia, and the forces corresponding to the size of a considerable knights group, the envoys of the Marquis of Birbalche, were also staying within the city.

Even among them, the 5th tier wizard is the eldest daughter of one of the leading wizard families, the Kalua family, a woman who has already been widely rumored to be a genius among geniuses who is said to have marked a milestone in the history of the Mage Tower.

Isn’t that Chersha Kalua?

In addition, the envoys of Marquis Birbalce who came to Glead were also made up of elite knights.

His eldest son, Tolish Birbalce, was included in the envoys after Birbalche, so the size of the knights who escorted him was quite large.

I heard that the number of top-ranking knights was at least 10, so it was a level comparable to the total strength of famous knight families in their own way.

And all of them have revealed their will to participate in the city mobilization order to the messenger of the guild union.

A force equal to that of thousands of horses.

But… Even so, Harjan felt one regret.

“…If only they had been intact, Glead would have been an iron fortress.”

It was after rumors had already spread that Glead had suffered a serious blow due to one of the special mercenaries, ‘Rachel Cardia’, who had recently been rumored throughout the city of Glia. The public sentiment of the city of Glia was fluctuating.

As such, the status of the Glead family was not at all light in the city of Glia.

No, the name was too heavy, to the point where it became a problem.

Glead If they stumble, the entire city of Glia would stumble….

‘Rachel Cardia.’

Certainly, it was a mercenary that could not be easily dealt with even in the entire empire as a special mercenary, but Harjan now resented her.

Since the power of the knight family, which is the main axis of defense in a crisis situation, has been greatly reduced, if things go wrong, she alone could lead to massive suppression of the mercenaries. It was something that could develop.

Leaving behind Harzan, who was engrossed in complicated thoughts, Galia sighed as she looked at the woman nearby and spat out her words.

“Hey, relax.”

A woman on top of the castle wall with a very bloody look on her face.

“Yes…”

The woman gave a small answer to Gallia’s words, reducing the murderous look in her eyes.

But she just cut back on her life a little. That was the woman’s best. The dark flesh in her eyes could not be completely erased.

A woman clenched her fist with her nails as if they were digging into her palm, and with bloody eyes looked at the beast that existed in the distant mountains as if she would tear it apart with just her gaze.

She was Rien, the only survivor of the Kalos mercenary party. And as a B-class mercenary, her occupation is also a shooter.

Harjan went as far as saying ‘please’ and asked Gallia for a woman named Lien. She was a Gallia who accepted Harzan’s words as if she couldn’t help it, so now she was watching her to make sure she didn’t do anything unexpected.

‘…Whoa.’

Gallia looked at Rien for a moment, then turned her gaze away, shaking her head slightly.

And as Harjan looked at them blankly, he felt relieved.

If I hadn’t sent several parties to the unexplored lands earlier, I could have caused a huge crisis by making even the initial response awkward.

In addition, due to the actions of a woman named Lien, I was able to quickly get in touch with the facts about the annihilation and near destruction of the Kalos party, and it definitely gave me a sense of crisis like a big alarm bell.

That’s why the initial response was quick as it is now.

Kalos Party could have prevented countless tragedies from happening in the future because of them. It could have been seen that way.

‘Noble Sacrifice…’

I wonder if I can comfort them with those words.

Seeing the woman named Lien, who seemed to have been encroached on by her life, Harjan felt her heart grow heavier.

“It would be true that there is a demon of calamity in that group. The monster of an unknown giant is the problem.”

A cluster of abnormal monsters.

That was definitely the work of Vitria, who is called the witch of disaster.

From noble mtl dot com.

However, according to the information provided by the investigation team, there was a monster that reached a size of 4 to 5 meters.

That was a huge variable for now.

“Was it 4 meters… Or 5 meters? I heard you found it in the unexplored area 3, but hasn’t its name been revealed yet?”

Har Zan calmly accepted Galia’s words as if she was trying to remember her.

“Yes, at least it is a monster that has never been seen in the North. Vitria, I couldn’t even guess what kind of magic beast that f*cking thing brought. She sent messengers to collect information from mercenary guilds in other nearby cities. Will it arrive in time…”

In order to know the detailed characteristics or information about the monster corresponding to that giant, I had to at least approach it.

‘… I’ve already passed that stage.’

The banquet of the demon that seems to have covered the far northern mountain range with countless black dots. Who is going to pierce through that gap and gather information about that gigantic Demon Beast?

If you send them to investigate, it’s no different from telling them to die.

That’s why it was probably fortunate that the party investigating near the entrance of Area 3 heard a roar and just confirmed the giant.

A demonic beast whose body is made of black and is 4 to 5 meters tall.

Even though I read the investigation report countless times, that one line of information was the end.

And now, that group of black dots, the giant beast among the beasts, somehow managed to hide its appearance, and even though we continued to look at it using magic tools, we couldn’t see it.

“…Whoa.”

Frustration due to the unknown.

Unknown existence.

It just made my head throb just thinking about it.

***

Can the atmosphere of a city change like this overnight?

As Chersha and Plea walked out of the inn early in the morning, they felt the heavy atmosphere in the city of Glia.

“…This must be the tension of a city guarding the border.”

She murmured softly as Chersha moved her steps.

“Yes, I am quite nervous.”

Flea also received Chersha’s words with a calm expression, not her usual lively appearance.

Looking at the people in Glia’s city, she wasn’t in the mood to laugh easily.

A city that guards its borders.

Chersha and Plea They grew up in the East and spent most of their time in the East, but it wasn’t the city at the edge of the East. Strictly speaking, it was a city that could be considered close to Arbaltea, the capital of the Chaldean Empire.

That’s why the tension in the city that protects the actual border is the first time they’ve encountered it. Moreover, I heard that it was a level 2 crisis, so I shouldn’t have taken it lightly.

That’s why Chersha and Plea, who had reorganized themselves early in the morning, were moving forward.

The highest-ranking knight family that protects Glia.

‘Glead.’

I needed to talk to them earlier.

Not long after Chersha and Plea moved forward, they reached the entrance of the Gleard family mansion.

“I heard about your visit.”

The knight who greeted them with a light bow soon passed them through and into the mansion.

Because they had contacted the messenger who delivered the news of their visit in advance, they were able to enter Glaade without any special checks.

As they walked through the grounds of the Gleard Mansion, Chersha and Plea caught sight of the knights and family servants.

Everyone was moving around busily, and the Glead family knights who were seen here and there all looked armed with a firm expression on their faces, to the extent that it was hard to think of what they saw when they visited Glaad the day before.

I heard that a level 2 crisis hadn’t happened in Glia City for nearly 10 years, but now they don’t look like they’ve experienced it.

“I will guide you.”

It wasn’t long after they walked like that, the servant began to guide Chersha and Plea into the drawing room.

Actually Chersha. There was no reason for her to visit Glead so early in the morning.

It was true that Glead’s name was the highest in Glia, but it was not necessary to talk to them while talking to them.

There were other knight families, and to be honest, there was no need to talk to them.

It didn’t matter much if he just followed the mercenary guild’s suggestions and played an active role.

But, Ed.

Due to the existence of that one boy knight, Chersha was trying to talk to Glead.

The reason for the knight’s existence is that he is a knight of the Glaad family, not even another family. The meaning of it could be understood with a little thought.

And now, Chersha, as much as possible, Ed, she didn’t want to send him to the battlefield.

In fact, the biggest reason I came to Glead this early in the morning was because it was about Ed.

‘What the hell… How should I say it?’

Although he knew he had no business getting involved, he thought it would be better to talk than to just sit back and do nothing, so he moved on.

That doesn’t mean Chersha didn’t have a definite answer right now.

And first of all, it was necessary to confirm Ed’s will.

Smart.

With the sound of the servant knocking on the drawing room, Chersha finished her thoughts.
