Chapter 88: Establishing a base (3) (1/2)
Although the region of Tale was one of theat its size, it wasn’t that big
Even with the farthest place, that was Poskein lake that was at the south, it took a quarter of a day to reach it
Because of that, if they could only grasp the appearance and ate the that many losses
That’s why the beacon was made
With the HQ at the center, the beacons were lined up in a long fashi+on to the four cardinal points, and thanks to that, they could quickly realize that monsters had appeared
‘Not the east, west, and south but the north?’
Roan kicked his horse and frowned
The north was the region where people resided
Because of that, it was the place where they had to subjugate more perfectly than other places
And actually during the past five months, monsters appeared only three times in the north
But even so, they were perfectly annihilated before they reached near the village
Dudududu
The sound of horse steps was heard clearly
You could see the HQ from far away
The entrance, that was closed stiff, opened up as if they aiting for the closer
“What happened?!”
Roan yelled with all of his strength as soon as he entered the ca quickly
“Looking at the order the beacons were fired off, it see from the southeast to the northwest”
He replied with an urgent voice and expression
‘Monsters fro to the north?’
Roan frowned
There was no reason for the uarded
‘Has it already started?’
Roan could think of a reason for it
He putthe reins
“And the centurions?”
“Just like we trained recently, Semi, Tane, and Pete each lead their companies andin the north, would havethe beacon”
“Good Then, I’ the HQ to you!”
“Yes Don’t worry!”
Ant made a short salute
Roan hurriedly turned the head of his horse
And soon, the cavalry appeared
Their numbers werethe best in A quickly towards the village in the north! Don’t fall behind!”
“Yes! Understood!”
At Roan’s orders, the cavalrymen replied in one voice and kicked their horses
The chest that moved closely to the saddle
The fifty cavalry the air with Roan at the front
Their destination was the village in the north
It was the place that still hadn’t fired up the beacon
Hans, as exactly 60 this year, lived a life filled with despair
The stories tell that he was born as a vassal of a wicked and stupid noble fa pressured, and exploited and beca in the eastern region of Rinse kingdom and then became a vassal of the Lancephil family thanks to Io’s consideration
He was placed in a barren land in the northern region with people with similar circumstances as him, but he couldn’t live caldom invaded without stop
Then, he heard the notices that the Lancephil faion of Tale
On top of that, he even heard that they were going to exempt them from taxes and provide thener Hans, who didn’t even knohat kind of place the region of Tale was, applied for it, and got elected
That hen he was 53 years old
Hanswith 3,000 people
Only then did he realize that the region of Tale was heaven for uards that were settled in together with them
But merely after two years that they settled in, thousands of residents and ion of Tale was really heaven for monsters and hell for hu people treion of Tale
However, Hans stayed in place until the end
This was because the support and the tax exemption was too sweet
‘Even if I return to where I originally lived, it’s obvious that I will die at the hands of the Byron bastards’
If he was going to die like this and like that, it was ion of Tale
Fortunately, the Lancephil family provided soldiers consistently
They even sent knights and soldiers to the north of Tale and subjugated the monsters
Seven years has passed like that
The number of the residents repeatedly increased and decreased and now they h the nuuards that first amounted to 3,000 was now 800, the north of Tale was quite the safe place
Monsters didn’t appear that often and even if they did, they were close to the troop’s HQ so it didn’t turn into beco and s the boundary of the north
And the village that was created first and had the most nue of the north
Hans was now enjoying his old and stable life as the chief of the village
“Huh?”
Hans, as taking soed ent manner
‘Liss the herbman?’
Liss was soe and harvested good quality herbs
He shook his arent expression and ?’
As he paidHowever, he couldn’t hear well because of the distance
Only after the distance was closed did Liss’s words becoroup! Monsters have appeared!”
At that moment, Hans’s expression stiffened
‘Monster?! Why monsters so suddenly……’
He almost hadn’t seen any monsters recently
He first caluards that were at the watch tower
“Ring the bell! There are uards nodded with a surprised expression
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Soon, the sounds of the bell were heard clearly
As Liss entered the village, the gates that were open, closed quickly
Soon, Hans got down the watchtower asked with an urgent expression
“You said monsters? Is that true?”
“Pant Pant It’s true It is”
Liss cal
“I was harvesting so up”
His voice tre and cliroup ofwith a black color”
“Black?”
Hans asked back after he dry gulped
Liss just nodded several ties people gathered around
“Wh, what’s happening?”
“Chief Did so happen?”
Everyone had expressions filled orry
Hans frowned
‘Monsters are coht e
‘They were called A instead of the Solluate the o, the e and built an even higher fence and a watch tower inside of it
‘Will we be able to hold on?’
There were about 100 guards inside the village
‘No It’s ih they had the newly build fence and the watch tower, it was i them
‘To the south, it’s better to escape to the south’
When he thought up to there
“Chief!”
The guards in the watchtower yelled in one voice
A yell closer to despair
Hans frowned and then moved up to the watchtower
“Ah……”
A low exclamation came out of his lips
And that was an exclae!”
The villages people yelled
Hans looked outside the village while gritting his teeth
‘There’s at least 2,000 of theroup was pitch black
And ed over the out of the village noas tantamount to suicide
‘A fortress!’
They could only face thetroop coo
‘Was he called Roan’
He was a really well mannered and confident youth
‘Did he say that the defensive system of the north was perfect…’
Expression and attitude filled with confidence
That look was still fresh
