To Hell with Being a Saint, I'm a Doctor

Chapter 612

episode 612: signs of war (2)

the leven mercenary corps, supported by the black room, were as energetic as if wings had sprouted from a tiger’s back.

dozens of wagons loaded with weapons and food followed, followed by mercenaries escorting them.

indeed, it looked like a country’s troops going out to the battlefield.

the wandering mercenaries who were watching the scene also smelled the money and joined them.

thanks to this, the army increased to 2,000 people.

the terrifying force of the kingdom of celia became tense and increased its border guards, and the neighboring kingdoms also went on alert.

of course, they weren’t the only ones who were happy to see them.

it is a fact that everyone knows that the duchy of soleil is the domain of a saint.

those who had a history of being saved by ray rose up against the evil of the leven mercenary corps.

a huge crowd gathered in front of the mercenary guild demanded the retreat of the leven mercenaries.

“invading the territory of the principality without permission is a clear violation of national law!”

“return the troops immediately!”

one guild is just consistent with not knowing what is going on.

“it is not a matter that can be decided by our will. everyone go away.”

“there is no such thing as a rogue boat! didn’t you guys also get help from the halfman company during the flood!”

“well! didn’t i already say that even if the guild came forward, it couldn’t be reversed!”

the 12,000 troops seemed to be burdensome even for the guild.

the mercenary guild waved their hands and kicked the people out.

while those days repeat.

the leven mercenary corps finished preparations for the launch and were heading towards the principality of soleil.

* * *

the duchy of soleil was in complete uproar.

hearing that the humans were coming, the goblins had to work hard every day to complete the wall.

“kieek! hurry up!”

“material handling is over!”

loud noises are heard everywhere.

fortunately, there were so many goblins and they were nocturnal, so i was able to continue my work even in the dark of the night.

thanks to this, the fortress wall only got higher day by day.

the receiving committee gathered in the middle of the night to discuss the future.

soyoung, who was listening to the noise coming from outside, chewed her nails.

“if we keep going like this, the mercenaries will arrive before the walls are even finished... we have to hold out for another week.”

cheongyoung said.

“the leven mercenary corps have been dispatched today. the vanguard of the main unit will arrive in two days.”

two days

then five days remain before the walls are built.

if you can’t hold on until then, the territory will be ruined in an instant.

the black spirit let out a saliva.

“umm... i guess i have no choice but to meet them outside the principality.”

“okay. but if that happens, you won’t be able to deal with an ambush. it’s like the house is empty.”

“can’t we leave that to zeke?”

“...you know that. being a sword master isn’t invincible. the moment the holy power runs out, zeke is over.”

“in the current situation, this is the best. it’s risky, but we can buy time somehow.”

hyolyeong also nodded and agreed.

“it is not a situation where we can choose according to our taste. well, halfman is still looking for troops, so why not hold out for a while?”

at those words, soyoung shook her head.

“the opponent is the black room. i can’t just let the half-man’s corps save the troops.”

furthermore, heukbang might have prepared for this moment for several years, but he couldn’t move recklessly.

that’s because they weren’t prepared for it at all.

so-yeong, who knew all too well what happened to her when fighting proxia, thoughtlessly accompanied her troops, could not make a decision.

‘what are you thinking? there would be no advantage to them just because they occupied the principality of soleil...’

anyway, it’s a territory that can be regained as soon as the saint returns.

i wouldn’t know that, but i was just curious about how they move.

when she was lost in thought for a while.

hongyoung opened her mouth.

“if you don’t have a military force, you can raise it yourself.”

at that time, a wooden sword flew along with zeke’s screams.

“i told you that if you lose the sword, you’re dead!”

bahah-!

baka-!

the goblins were delighted with the delightful sound and did not know what to do.

it was more like bullying than education.

did you notice the signs of the receivers?

zeke stopped swinging his sword and looked at them.

“what are you guys up to here?”

“geez zeke... what the hell is this...”

asked cheongyoung, who was shocked, and zeke straightened his shoulders proudly and replied.

“as you can see, i was in the process of bestowing swordsmanship myself.”

zeke, who was carefully giving wooden swords to the heads of the goblins, continued.

“thanks to these guys, their eyes are ripe to some extent.”

“...what is training? you must have been beating yourself up.”

“hmm. originally, a sword is something you need to learn as you get used to it, so it grows faster.”

it’s an excuse for the appearance, and i’m going to have a good time.

if i hadn’t been a sword master, i wouldn’t have been called a cheater.

what’s more, the discerning eye is ripe.

just looking at it now, when a wooden sword flies at me, i can’t even react and get hit.

it is not the eyes, but only the toughness is increasing.

did you read that kind of notice?

zeke threw a wooden sword and said.

“if you don’t believe me, try fighting in moderation.”

the dark spirit, who received it reluctantly, scratched the back of his head.

he had no hobby of tormenting monsters.

“umm....”

he looked around as if he was in trouble and asked for help from the other security guards.

of course, there was no one to help.

with no choice, the dark spirit grabbed a wooden sword and aimed it at the goblin.

“i didn’t mean to, but...”

he made an apology, not an apology, and lightly swung his wooden sword.

wedge-ae-ae-!

skill is skill, so the wooden sword that i wielded casually came at a tremendous speed.

the goblin, who tensed all the muscles in his body, flexibly pulled back.

let’s bounce off the left foot like a spring and twist the body around the waist.

whiik-!

in the end, the black spirit’s sword could not reach the goblins and only skimmed through the air.

do you think you found a gap there?

the goblins even counterattacked by piercing the black spirits with their swords.

heukyoung, who felt threatened when the sword full of magical power aimed at mokwooldae, cut the sword with sincerity without even realizing it.

faaaaang-!

the air burst and the goblin’s model flew backwards at once.

gulp-

the receptionists who watched the unexpected sight swallowed their saliva.

no matter how lightly it was a blow, the black spirit’s sword was not dull enough that a mere goblin could dodge it.

no, on the contrary, it was too sharp.

however, it was not enough to avoid it as if it were natural, so i would have thought that he would even counterattack.

the last move was so quick that it gave me goosebumps.

since they were goblins who knew how to wield magical powers from birth, it could be said that it was a perfect blow.

the elated zeke grinned.

“how is it? my first disciples.”

how are you?

the swordsmanship itself is inferior, but the mana management is quite good, so the users go away.

the goblins’ military strength was so great that there was no problem even if they used it as their strength right now.

at this level, we might be able to face the leven mercenaries!

as soon as i thought that, the entire face of the reception desk, which had been subtle until now, turned bright.
