Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 220:

The Red Hawks’ recovery speed was fast.

Proper food and plenty of rest.

With just those two things, they quickly returned to their prime.

Although it took some time, two days of rest was enough for them to go to war.

“All of them expressed their intention to participate in the war.”

Their resentment against the barbarians is so great that they say they will participate in the war without any special requirements.

The Marquis of Easton readily accepted them.

Easton is always starving for talent as it already has no manpower.

The red hawks are masters of the bow.

Moreover, with their outstanding talent as Aurors, their power was such that they had to ask for favors from here.

The Marquess of Easton opened a new unit comprised entirely of Red Hawks.

And they asked Arjuna to become their commander.

Arjuna did not allow me to reject what he wanted to reject.

No one knows the red hawk better than Arjuna.

Although they were defeated by the barbarians, there is no one better than her to lead them.

At least she had been their matriarch for many years.

“I know you feel guilty about them, but how long are you going to keep doing that? “Are you planning on not having a conversation until you die?”

“….”

She was speechless.

I gave up talking to her any more.

You have to realize this yourself, otherwise it is meaningless no matter what people around you say.

Still, I had orders and was the commander of the unit leading them, so I had to deal with them whether I liked it or not.

Whether intentionally or not, I had to talk to them.

“…There was definitely a harvest, but as expected, they didn’t seem to be affected much.”

The harvest from this mission to attack the supply detachment was neither great nor small.

Even though all their food was stolen, they were unfazed.

He seemed familiar, or acted as if it didn’t matter whether there was food or not.

“It seems like this great chief is trying to end everything with this war. And that goes for us too.”

The current situation of the barbarians that I heard about through Daejeonsa was miserable and cruel even if I tried to look at it in a positive way.

It is said that all non-combat personnel who are even slightly injured or unable to participate in the war become ‘food’.

What was even funnier was that the savages destined to become ‘food’ did not resist.

To that extent, they feared and respected the chieftain.

“You know what will happen if we lose this war, right?”

“Hmm….”

“Hmm….”

The retainers are drooling.

The unit commanders who commanded the units kept their mouths shut, unsure of what they were thinking.

The Marquis of Easton looked around at them and said:

“In other words, we must win this war. And we can win.”

The Marquis of Easton speaks confidently. His eyes turn to the tent entrance.

Vane and Arjuna were watching the meeting with their arms crossed.

“There are two masters with us and the elves are on our side. And now there is also a unit made up of the new and haunted Red Hawks.”

Wouldn’t it be strange to lose?

The faces of the vassals and unit commanders brighten at the words of the Marquis of Easton.

That’s right. It may be difficult if only Easton is there, but now that the powers of the Elves and the Red Hawk have been combined, losing now that the two Masters are together is even more strange.

However, there are always variables, so we must not let down our guard.

“They say they are still advancing. “I guess they knew that sending out reconnaissance was pointless.”

They found out too late that we had annihilated the scouting party.

Originally, one would have been careful at that point, but the barbarians had no word for caution.

Rather, they were approaching with their main force, knowing that sending them off in small amounts would be of no use.

“Miss Beatrice is reinforcing the castle walls with the elves, and the red hawks will be using their strength on the castle walls.”

The barbarians were approaching at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.

At the current rate, it will arrive tomorrow.

It would be a loss to wage an all-out war against barbarians.

They have bodies optimized for combat.

The way Easton has dealt with them so far has mostly been surprise attacks.

It was extremely rare to fight them at the front.

When fighting them openly, only the knights went out.

That’s how cautious the battle with the barbarians was.

Because even the smallest mistake can cost you your life.

“We will hold a sit-in protest. Until they let down their guard.”

The Marquis of Easton devised several other strategies.

And the strategy was discussed with those gathered.

“Lord Bane and Arjuna play the biggest role.”

Bane nods. Arjuna was unable to properly concentrate on the conversation and what he was thinking.

Even at the call of the Marquis of Easton, he was just dumbfounded.

“Arjuna?”

I hit her arm invisible. Only then does she come to her senses.

“I think it would be best to put aside matters related to tribe members for a while.”

She nods her head at my words.

The Marquis of Easton brushed aside the situation as if he was familiar with it and spoke to her again.

After the meeting, I left the command barracks.

“Arjuna. If it doesn’t work out, talk about it. “I will change it for you.”

she looks at me Since they are obviously her tribe members, she would know them better than anyone else.

But in her current state, leading them would cause problems.

Even though no one is as qualified as her, that doesn’t mean she has to be there.

Although it may be difficult, there are capable commanders who will lead them.

They just placed it because she was more efficient.

However, if this continues, I will first tell the Marquis of Easton that it is a good idea to change the unit commander.

She shook her head, probably reading my thoughts.

“no. You can.”

Although she says she can do it, her eyes shake violently as she looks towards where the tribe members are.

As of yet, she has not exchanged a single word with her tribe members.

Even when the tribe members approached her first, she avoided them.

It was clear that he was probably suffering from guilt for not being able to protect them.

Well, it’s only been a day and she said something, so I guess I’ll have to wait for now.

Because a heart is not something that can be easily opened as you wish.

“Anyway, it’s a siege…”

Oh, since we’re on the defense side, should we say it’s a siege?

Anyway, this is my first time defending a castle.

I’ve defended and attacked myself, but this was my first time fighting using a castle.

In the first place, war does not occur often, so it is rare to experience such a thing.

Especially when the balance of power in each country is as tense as it is now, war does not break out.

So the experience of staging a sit-in protest is valuable.

‘Can I do well?’

It would have been better if it had been an all-out war.

But this is my first time fighting on the castle walls.

We must stop the barbarians from climbing the castle.

Considering the physical capabilities of barbarians, it seems like they would be able to climb the castle wall without a ladder.

Climb up by holding on to the rough part of the castle wall.

Oooh, it’s the worst I can imagine.

Considering their physical capabilities, it seems unlikely that they would die from one or two arrows, but

the sight of barbarians climbing the castle walls with arrows stuck in their bodies would be horror itself.

‘If possible, it would be better for the health of the eyes to send the child to one room.’

While I was thinking alone like that, I saw Selina approaching from afar.

“What are you doing?”

“I just have something to think about…”

“I joined the special unit.”

“I know.”

A separate unit with Bane as the unit commander. They ambush barbarians who are away from their base or attack their empty homes.

A unit with a different mission than mine.

“Raymond what do you do?”

“I think I will focus on Mercury for now… I will probably join the assault corps.”

The Marquis of Easton wanted me to join the assault corps.

And I was planning on accepting the offer unless something else happened.

“Isn’t it very dangerous to be an assault force?”

“Is there anything in war that isn’t dangerous? It’s all dangerous. “The separate unit that Miss Selina is in will not be easy in terms of risk.”

“Because my father is with me.”

Well, that’s true.

With the Sword Master by his side, it would be difficult to find a safer place in the war than next to him.

‘Assuming I don’t know the dragon is with me.’

To be honest, I can say that I am with a moving fortress.

With Riems’ ability, I can hide myself and perhaps the people around me.

‘However, if Reems uses his power in earnest, other dragons may notice.’

Dragons who are already very sensitive to hatchlings will not remain silent if they find out that hatchlings are being raised by humans.

It is when a hatchling steps in that it is truly urgent.

“That too. “I think you’ll be safer next to Lord Bane than inside the castle.”

But I can’t tell her that.

She cannot be seen as completely mine, like Ellis or Arjuna.

It’s true that I’ve become friends with her, but it’s not to the point where I share secrets.

“You don’t have to worry about me. The elves are with us… and above all, there is a master here too.”

When I point to one side and say that, she follows me and looks there and nods.

There was Arjuna, hiding in a corner, watching the red hawk.

The red hawks seemed to know that she was watching them, but they did not show it.

This is because she runs away when they approach.

“It’s really complicated over there….”

“Huh? “What did you say?”

“no. it’s nothing.”

I stood up and brushed off the dust around my buttocks.

It was time to warm up by sparring with the knights before the battle.

Dang-dang-dang-the bell rings.

The urgent sound of the bell filled the castle.

“It’s the enemy!”

“The enemy has invaded!”

The soldiers move hastily at the sound of the bell.

At the sound of the bell announcing that the enemy was invading, the commanders in the barracks came out all at once.

The Marquis of Easton rushes out of the command barracks and catches a soldier passing nearby.

“What’s going on?”

“The barbarians are coming!”

“what?”

They’re coming in so quickly?

According to the scouts, it would take some time for the barbarians to get here.

But it came so quickly. In an impossible event, the Marquis of Easton climbs the castle walls with his knights.

I followed him and signaled to Arjuna.

Even though I didn’t say anything, she sensed my intention and moved.

I was a little worried, but fortunately she approached the tribe members first this time.

Feeling relieved, I climbed up the castle wall.

“Crazy…”

And I couldn’t help but sigh.

A large army with no end in sight was running toward the castle.
