73. Surprise Visit (2)

A 20-year-old female swordsman with red mana blooming from her body. Thanks to

, Her golden hair began to look red.

Moreover, her bloody scarlet eyes.

She was in a state of madness, just like me when I killed a warlock in the north.

But.

She hasn’t reached the point where she can hide her presence yet.

In other words, this is the state at the beginning of the Sword Master.

This means that she is a young swordsman who has difficulty guessing how strong she is or the level of her opponent.

“Yes, I am Veil. “Vice-captain Camilla.”

I bowed lightly and said hello.

“You look like you knew I was coming, Bale Mikhail.”

Camilla was alone, crossing her arms and tilting her head.

Just looking at them, their eyes are very wary.

If you make even one mistake, they are ready to bite you.

“How could I not recognize you when you come radiating such strong mana?”

I held both of her hands together.

And, she said, smiling like a sly merchant.

“Come on in, I’ll take you to my office.”

He extended his palm gracefully to guide her into her office.

However, the female swordsman, burning with her ambition, firmly shook her head.

“No, let’s start by inspecting the exterior of the office.”

‘Look at this guy…’ .’

She appears to have no response to her compliments about herself.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been on the battlefield for a long time, but I don’t feel any humanity at all.

Let’s think about it carefully.

Camilla, what kind of person was this child?

Find the right level of sympathy between you and her.

You should take advantage of that and send it back without any comment.

“Hmm.”

Camilla looked closely at the exterior wall of her office.

As if checking a wire.

‘It’s just an office…. ‘It’s not a barrier on the battlefield.’

I was truly astonished to see her swordsmanship, wanting to show off her abilities.

“It looks relatively clean on the outside. However, there are many cracks in the building, so it would be a safety hazard.”

“Because Subangsa’s finances are not good….”

I said with a very sad expression.

Then, Camilla nodded her head as if she agreed.

“I understand, because I also lived in a shabby building like this.”

“You mean the vice-captain too?”

“Yes, when we left the battlefield for a while, we hid together in the refuge of the refugees.”

She made a bitter expression as if her memories of that time came to mind.

“Maybe because I was already injured, the wind blowing through the shabby building was really cold.”

“I see….”

I placed my hand on her chest, expressing my deepest condolences.

“I will report this to the higher-ups and send them support, so be sure to make repairs.”

“I understand.”

Camilla with a white imperial jacket draped over her shoulders.

She walked to the back of her office with a solemn expression.

“….”

I stopped for a moment and silently looked at the back of the vice-captain.

Is it because in the past we only risked our lives fighting?

Looking at it this way, it seems that there is a more human side to it than I thought.

But.

That thought disappeared like the wind.

The moment Camilla saw the Thorman family dressed as farmers.

Because she frowned grimly.

“Bail Mikhail. “What on earth is this?”

The clumsy men also looked nervous as they looked at the female knight’s bloody eyes.

They all looked at me with expressions asking for help.

I gave them a relaxed smile and told them to be at ease.

And then he came next to Camilla and spoke kindly.

“Ah, it is exactly as you see it. “They are gardeners and farmers.”

“So, why are they in the office of the Holy Empire?”

The look in his eyes as if he would be taken to a disciplinary committee right away.

I responded to those eyes with the most pitiful voice possible.

“They are immigrants from the North.”

Just like a little while ago, when she was talking about refugees.

“We hired those who were wandering around with nowhere to go and turned the garbage dump into a vegetable garden.”

Immigrants with nowhere to go.

Camilla cleared her throat because they were also victims of the war of conquest.

“No matter how many immigrants they are, they probably weren’t hired without permission, right?”

Of course it is unauthorized.

The Thorman family, who knew this, swallowed deeply all at once.

However.

I continued speaking with a still faint and sad look on my face.

“Actually, it is true that there is no permission. “Currently, they are illegal immigrants.”

Camilla raised the corner of her mouth at my obedient acknowledgment.

And, she tried to interrogate me in order to immediately improve her performance.

But….

She immediately saw it.

“But I couldn’t just pretend not to know them. I, too, had received help from immigrants before.”

Like her, her eyes became empty after going through hardships on the battlefield.

“In the war, I barely escaped through the siege, but eventually I was injured and collapsed in a village of refugees.”

And, she had the same expression as herself, looking at the refugees and victims with pity and pity.

“However, the refugees from the enemy country took me in and even took care of me until I recovered.”

Camilla looked up at me.

I thought all the Subangsa knights were trash who sat down with parachutes.

It was surprising that she came from the same battlefield as herself and that she received help from the same refugees.

I placed my hand on her chest as if I was going to delve into her emotions.

And with her humble heart, she spoke confidently.

“To repay my debt, I took care of those foreigners by teaching them farming skills until they were allowed to stay in the empire… !”

Camila took a deep breath.

She seemed to understand my feelings and calmly nodded her head.

Together we looked at the Thorman family with pity.

Then, their leader Ornn stared at me with a shocked gaze.

I quietly put my finger to my lips and answered with a cold expression.

‘Shut up, look sad.’

Ornn immediately realized what was happening and burst into tears.

Then, he tapped the waist of his subordinates standing next to him and ordered them to do the same.

“I am always grateful to Veil.”

“If he wasn’t there, we would have been…”

Camilla took a deep breath.

She then looked up at me and said.

“It’s a touching story, but if all of this is unauthorized, I have no choice but to discipline you.”

It is a resolute attitude.

However, it was not without results.

“You can’t give that many people a place to live or settle down on your own, right?”

A somewhat softened voice.

Because at this point, your guard against me has eased.

Now all you have to do is deliver the final blow and it’s over.

And, the final blow I have prepared is….

“I have already reported this matter to superiors. But then someone came who wanted to solve the problem.”

I leisurely turned around.

Then, the name of the second most powerful royal family in the current empire was mentioned.

“The first princess of the empire, Lea Andalusia.”

Camilla’s lips parted at the familiar name.

The person who allowed all of this was the younger sister of the crown prince she served.

“He himself bestowed his territory for her people. So, he was scheduled to be transported to the western part of the empire today.”

The vice-captain cleared his throat when he heard that the first princess of the empire had given permission.

Because she was involved in something outside of her authority.

“Hmm…. If Leah said that….”

In the end, the vice-captain decided to let this matter go for now.

However, the men with healthy tanned skin could not easily get over it.

She looked strangely at the presence of Eastern knights in the northern part of her capital.

“What is the author? “Why is the Eastern Knight here?”

Tau sits down and stands up repeatedly with a puddle full of water on both sides.

He was working out hard in his training clothes, ignoring Camilla.

I proudly introduced him.

“Ah, that friend is the vanguard captain whom the 3rd Princess, Her Highness Lydia, entrusted to me for training.”

“You entrusted the direction of the eastern vanguard to a defense engineer?”

Camilla looked up at me with suspicious eyes.

I responded with a shameless expression.

“Yes, although I am not as strong as the vice-captain. “They are good at training.”

The presence of Mana is completely hidden.

Thanks to this, Camilla had no idea of the measure of her strength.

“Ha, the first place winner at the appointment ceremony had poor performance. “I was tutoring in the office.”

She seems to think that I receive compensation for my training separately from Lydia.

“Did you get paid to teach other technicians during working hours?”

Camilla calmly approached Tau.

And then, she looked down at him training.

“Besides, teaching with such primitive training. “This is practically an act of extortion!”

I didn’t say anything and just listened in silence.

However, the Tau who respected me were different.

Thump-!!

He carelessly placed all the huge puddles of water on the floor.

Then, he got up and took long strides towards Camilla.

“Did you just say primitive training?”

Overwhelming height difference.

Tau tilted his neck to the side and relaxed his body.

“Yes, if it were me, I would rather participate in the front line than do something stupid like this in the garden.”

Camilla placed her hands on her waist.

She said, and she exhaled an intense red air current.

“You know one thing, but you don’t know two.”

However, Tau was not easy.

He also grew to the level of a sword master through farming and mana management, which he briefly taught me.

“My teacher’s training has never been wrong.”

It gushed out solid, dark blue mana.

“If you insult my teacher any further with your prejudices, I will not let you.”

To begin with, Tau and Camilla are not from the same organization.

Furthermore, since the Eastern and Imperial Knights were not on good terms, he responded with informal language.

“Really? Then, shall we check for ourselves whether it is a prejudice or not?”

Camilla took off her uniform jacket draped over her shoulders.

“Hey, Bale Mikhail. “It’s training time, so I’ll join in on your excellent training system for a while.”

Then, I threw it against the fence in the garden and started to warm up.

“You won’t be dissatisfied with this, right?”

I answered her question with a smile.

And then, I sat on the fence and leisurely watched the two people sparring.

“No problem, I hope you do as you wish.”

Because I also wanted to check out the skills of these two people.

Camilla, with her wealth of practical experience, gestured leisurely.

As if responding to her response, Tau also approached her with long strides.

“I will allow you to attack first, so come in and see. “Insolent eastern bastard.”

Tau gradually speeds up.

The guy momentarily concentrated his mana on his arm and aimed at Camilla’s head at high speed.

Then, the female knight quickly bowed down.

‘They’re probably thinking of digging in and subduing them at a moment’s notice.’

But….

This is a tactic I have already used against Tau many times.

As she snuggled into her side, Tau immediately focused his mana on his knees.

And he caught her fist by raising his knee.

“… !”

With her fist blocked, Camilla stepped back straight away.

Tau rushes in without missing the timing.

From Noble mtl dot com

In essence, it is a good strategy to put pressure on an opponent who is being chased.

However, Camilla soon regained her composure.

She, who had a higher level than Tau, dodged his fist so quickly that a red afterimage remained.

And, when Tau throws his left fist, his right thigh.

When he threw his right fist, it hit his left side and began to accumulate damage little by little.

“Ugh… !”

Tau gradually shakes.

He finally backed away, taking a deep breath.

But now Camilla is ready to fight back.

She struck the Tau without hesitation at lightning speed.

The knight of the East began to grow increasingly tired.

To finish him off, Camilla concentrated her mana on her arm.

I hit the center of the chest when the guard was released.

“… !!”

Tau’s face is distorted.

He eventually stumbled and fell to his knees.

“Damn….”

I looked at him silently.

Just standing up to that point against the Sword Master was enough to do well.

Besides….

“How can an ordinary knight have such skills…? .”

Camilla’s expression is quite displeasing even though she clearly won.

I could defeat most enemies with just one or two punches.

It seems quite unpleasant for an ordinary member of the East to have endured his fist for so long.

‘If this were the case, even Camilla would have approved it. ‘My training worked.’

“You are amazing as expected, Camilla.”

I smiled cheerfully and approached her.

And then, once I decided to deal with her little sister and soothe her.

“He even adjusts his pace and speed to teach his student. “I was really honored!”

Her hand reached out to hand over her uniform jacket.

“Now, I will take you to a warm office. “You have already seen the results of your training.”

Next, the moment when I wanted to convey it politely.

Camilla slapped my hand away with her scarlet eyes flashing.

“No, there’s still something left to check.”

And then, she looked at me coldly and said.

“This time, I will stick with you.”

She realized that Tau was just before her sword master.

He appears to have quite a bit of pride.

“I am a defense engineer. “How can I spar with the vice-captain and win?”

She smiled sheepishly and shrugged her shoulders.

Then, a 20-year-old female knight approached me with strides.

She grabbed my uniform and shirt and pulled it towards her own face.

And she said with an angry expression.

“Stop talking nonsense and take off your outer clothes!”

The eyes of a young woman burning like flames.

He was quite angry at me for growing the general unit to a level comparable to his own.
