Chapter 73 (1/2)

“Ahm! No news as of yet?”

Early dawn, on the gates of the north of Lamer City.

Soldiers, guarding in the front, yawned in tears and asked his colleague next to him,

“I heard the knights talking about it yesterday, however, it is still out of our region.”

“Yeah? I thought that since it was Cain who was leading the army, they would have already moved into the Rakan territories.”

The city of Lamer didn’t have the news about what had happened in the Yottern canyon.

The iron mage who was in charge of communicating the news was taken captive, and the other surviving knights didn’t return yet as they were scared of the punishment that they would be given.

“Whatever, they just need to come back after winning as fast as possible.”

“I think so too. If they take too much time, I’ll probably end up forgetting how my wife’s naked body looks like.”

As the other soldiers were all away for the war, the work on the leftover soldiers increased.

The gate guards, who currently stationed, it was their fourth shift by then, and they were alternating every two shifts.

The soldiers were beginning to chat with nonsense just to drive away their drowsiness.

“But the war won’t come here right?”

“Don’t talk with that stuff and just look straight ahead. It is a war that we can never lose even if we want to. To put it simply, our Gigant riders can win the war even while sleeping, it’s like eating cold soup right away.”

“I guess so.”

At the very same moment, a group of people was coming towards the gate from the thick fog.

At first, they wanted it to be the next shift that arrived in the morning, but it wasn’t.

“Open the door! We have come to support the city of Lamer at the orders of the Count!”

The two startled men went and brought a dozing officer from his post, he looked over from the gate.

The officer, who tried to wake his eyes up, looked at them with a bewildered face.

“What kind of nonsense is this? I never heard anything about reinforcements coming in.”

“I haven’t heard of any castle orders either. But look at their clothes and the symbol on the Gigants, it looks sure.”

“Sure?”

The officer climbed down from the gate and looked down.

The soldiers’ clothes, the flags, and the crest on the chest of the Gigants were obviously the ones which belonged to their Count.

“Where did you come from?”

“There is no need for you to know, open the gates! It is 1 o’clock now, we are in a hurry!”

As the officer was thinking, a man dressed in a colorful armor, like a higher ranked knight came out and asked,

“You in a hurry? What the hell are you even doing here?”

“What? You haven’t heard about the report yet? Our army has lost in the Yottern Canyon! The enemy is coming this way!”

At those words, the guards could feel their drowsiness sink away.

“Lose, lost?! How in the hell…?”

“The nobles have supported the Rakan Viscount! So quickly open the damn gates! The enemy might have already come a long way!”

At those words, the officer replied,

“Wait a minute. After contacting the residence of the Count and confirming…”

“Are you really going to do that now?! Don’t bother! If you can’t open then I’ll have to do it myself!”

The knight leading the group gestured to the back.

Gigants which were in the trailer got up and moved.

“Uh? Uhuh?”

The Gigants who got up from the trailer ran straight to the gate and began to hit it with their bodies.
