I Became The Academy Necromancer

6. Wolves Crossing the Northern Mountains

[Are you saying you’re waiting?]

At my words, Sk’Al let out a puzzled voice. I answered calmly to him who acted as if he hadn’t thought of it at all.

“If the leader of the alien peoples is the one I know, Darius will not last long and will come down the ridge and engage in a defensive battle in downtown Northweden.”

[But if that happens, the safety of the citizens… … .]

“You won’t have the energy to care.”

If you can’t stop the immigrants from coming over, the family itself will be shaken.

It is a family that has lived on force alone, but since that is a shaking situation, they will think of surviving while sucking the blood of the citizens.

“I will be back soon. If you want to know that the beast you thought was a ground dog is actually a wolf, you will have no choice but to bite it.”

I only saw him for a short period of three months, but the Darius I saw was not a very great general.

The type that might be able to become an excellent military commander, but not an outstanding commander.

Because that type of person could never defeat someone more powerful than themselves.

‘Obviously after defeat, he will return.’

Until then, I just waited quietly and prepared negotiation cards.

* * *

“Hold up the shield! If you pass here, the next one is downtown Northweden! Were the warriors of the north fools who couldn’t even protect their families!”

Darius’ angry cry bursts out. If it was normal times, the soldiers would have been very scared and followed his orders quickly.

I didn’t even have the strength to do that now.

The geographical advantage of the ridge of the mountain was fully utilized.

Even if there is a slight difference in weapon level due to the difference in technical skills, this side’s magic is not affected at all.

On this side, the road from the village to the ridge was well laid, so it was easy to supply.

There is no shortage of personnel, and it is not that the soldiers neglected training.

The giants of the north living on the outskirts have always trained their soldiers.

Even in fraud, I dare not compare. Because for the soldiers, if this is pierced, right behind is the hometown where the family lives.

I was trying to stop it by dying.

“Kuh!”

A thick, pungent smell of smoke.

Not the smell of gunpowder used by foreigners, but the strong smell of tobacco.

A woman who looks like a wolf, blowing cigarette smoke instead of breathing.

Her eyes were dyed a deep red, no matter how many deaths she had captured.

Pak!

The raised ax precisely splits Northweden’s soldiers in half like chopping wood. He slips down the mountain, unaware that he is dead.

“Come again, come again!”

“The white wolf is running!”

Kuduk.

“I’m out!”

Darius, who had bitten his teeth so hard that his veins popped out, eventually pushed forward.

I couldn’t be swayed by that woman again.

To the extent that only the strong smell of tobacco remained in the place where the hem of the coat fluttered. That woman climbed the mountain putting out all the fires of life.

Mana is loaded onto the toes of Darius as he runs downhill.

Every time I step forward with heavy steps, the surrounding trees shake as if screaming and shake off the accumulated snow.

“like?”

Findenai, an immigrant woman called the White Wolf, finds a man charging at her like a chariot and pulls back her hand holding the axe.

“You finally came! Marquis Darius!”

“It’s not a name you dare say, you vulgar man!”

Darius’ sword and Findeneye’s ax clash.

Darius had the upper hand in strength. Darius, who thought he would kill Findenai with a single sword, continued to push.

“Keuk keuk, were you talking about something that only had strength?”

“Four years!”

“Did you say it wasn’t long before you became the family head? sorry He is full of blood and has no skill.”

Findenai, who twists the ax to the side and changes the trajectory of the sword. At the same time, her body slipped through the snow and deflected Darius’ sword.

“Look at the blood rushing to my head. If you fight like that, it’s easy to fall behind in the Clark Republic.”

“Where do you carelessly discuss age and blood? Just by looking at it, you’re a girl in her twenties.”

“Hmm, twenty-seven to be precise. I am for a while.”

Findenai, who tapped the shoulder with the back of the axe, laughed while spitting tobacco smoke.

“But he must be much more experienced than you?”

“dog sound! Ever since I started holding a sword at the age of 10, I have followed my father and protected this mountain range. I dare not be a vessel to compare with strangers like you!”

Darius sighs and saves mana, saying that he will break Finden Eye in two right now, who ignored him.

Snow piled up under his feet began to flow violently.

“Yes, I guess. Since I was only 10 years old, I must have been hiding in a safe mountain ridge post and killing my compatriots who came over to live.”

“… … .”

“Bocchan pretending to be tough. It’s not called a battle. call it hunting What is the difference between catching rabbits and foxes? You’re not a warrior, you’re just a hunter.”

“I can’t stand any more insults.”

“insult? The insult is what you’re doing. You lukewarm bastard who mistakes a massacre for a battle.”

Took.

Findenai spit out the tobacco from his mouth on the floor. There was a hot flash of life in his bloody eyes.

“I’ve been desperately running around since I was born, and I’ve been killing people to survive since I was 3 years old.”

shred!

“Keuk!”

I couldn’t even follow the flying ax with my eyes. The shoulder armor shattered, and an ax was driven into Darius’ right shoulder.

“Turn it off!”

Mana, which had risen menacingly, disintegrates in an instant and disappears due to the chill.

In front of the suffering Darius’ eyes, Finden-Eye’s feet were touching before he knew it.

Wow!

A kick that flew right in and hit the face accurately.

Darius’ body begins to tumble backwards.

However, Finden Eye did not stop there.

In the air where he had fired his first blow, he turned around and put a back kick into his chest.

Wood deok!

With the sound of his ribs breaking through his armor, Darius collapsed onto the cold snow.

“Turn it off, oops!”

I can’t even scream properly because of the pain that I can’t even breathe properly.

“It suits you perfectly.”

Findeneye looks down at Darius and pulls out the ax stuck in his shoulder.

“Quaaagh!”

The mountain screamed to leave, but Finden-Eye giggled and wiped the blood from the axe with his eyes.

The other aliens who chased after her. Holding a hunting rifle, he saw Darius and immediately pushed the muzzle at him.

“Okay, let it go.”

“Yes? Leader, what is that?”

mercy?

Just these strangers showing mercy to me?

Those who lived like slaves in the Republic of Clark have mercy on themselves, Margrave of Griffin?

It felt like his intestines were twisting, but Finden-Ai had no intention of showing mercy.

“I have to keep him alive so that another competent guy won’t take the Marquess position.”

“ah.”

“… … !”

Darius’s pupils were bloodshot red. The blood seemed to rush to the top of his head, but instead the bleeding from his shoulder only intensified.

“Captain Marshal, can you report that it was breached? At that moment, will your family lose all the privileges they have enjoyed so far?”

“Rurruleuk!”

“I will give you to live. Where do you think about it? Will you ask for support for the kingdom or acquiesce for the sake of the family?”

Darius couldn’t help but tremble in shame as he watched Findenai’s back laughing as he continued to march towards the guard post.

The sky is pure white even without snow.

Only the thick tobacco scent remained by Darius’ side.

*

just two days later.

Housekeeper Darius returned to the mansion while lying in bed.

His soldiers trudged with heavy steps, bowed their heads and covered their faces with their helmets, just like the losers.

[You are indeed a great insight.]

“… … .”

Sk’Al exclaimed in admiration that my judgment was correct, but it was so natural to me that I was not very impressed.

The inside of the mansion was in a commotion, and the citizens of Northweden who saw the return of the defeated soldiers were trembling in fear that the aliens were coming to plunder, and were demanding answers from our family.

I paid taxes for this time, so it would be natural if it was natural.

I look out of the window and see the city of North Whedon in my eyes. There is a commotion inside, but I can’t see a carriage leaving outside.

“No one is leaving.”

[Because northerners have a strong attachment to their homeland since ancient times.]

Like icicles frozen on the ground, they did not think of leaving even in the face of the invasion of the foreign people, and only wanted to hold out on the spot.

Urgent footsteps could be heard outside. I looked out the window and put on my coat.

“Time to go.”

Skruar bowed deeply to see me off.

The door, which had never been open except during mealtimes for the past few days, was wide open.

As if seeking an answer, I urge you to come to me.
