At that time, the knights who had finished searching the captain’s cabin returned. He carries a leather bag that probably contains Myhenro’s head and reports to the captain. The long-awaited death of Maihen Lo was confirmed, but the captain’s expression was complex.
“It is not for me to judge. If it is okay with you, may I ask you to accompany me? There is a Three Channels Outpost on Retben Island. It’s not a long distance. “We ask that you please hold off on making a decision while the person in charge arrives.”
“Please wait?”
“I swear to the Strait that I have absolutely no other intentions.”
The way he treated me with embarrassment felt all too familiar. It’s not that I’m used to being treated like this. He looked like me in the past. I understand the captain’s feelings. You must have felt the gap with just one hit. In their eyes, I am a ‘twin’. My position in the empire was great. He identified pretenders and purged the Pope, restored the banned Melcaran, and punished heretics. Its name is also brilliant, so it is called Dawn. The fruits of one’s actions are gradually borne.
“great. Three days. “I’ll just wait three days.”
“Thank you for your generous consideration.”
After that.
I brought out the demi-humans. I looked at the knights’ attitude toward Ain with interest. The demihumans are enemies of the empire and invaders that must be eliminated. But for all that, he was very courteous and courteous. Surprisingly, the demi-humans who had been betrayed by humans and suffered terrible things opened their hearts to the knights’ friendly behavior to the point where they started talking within a few hours. If all the demi-humans beyond the wild lands were like them, all the vicious rumors about them would be lies.
We arrived at Retben Island, six hours away by small boat. I heard that it was a small island where fishermen took a break, and inside, hidden by a thick forest, there was an outpost of the Matherand family. The troops numbered less than twenty at most, but they were all trained knights.
While the person in charge arrived, an uncomfortable cohabitation began.
Although the sub-humans were under surveillance, they were relatively free and were provided with clean clothes and food. I was provided with the captain’s personal barracks. Meat side dishes and tea time are provided for every meal. It is complete VIP treatment.
In my spare time, I talked to the Ajin people. I was able to hear interesting stories about the wild land. They were ‘nomads’. The subhumans of the wild land were divided into the ‘Arsia’, who led a nomadic lifestyle, and the ‘Yugrasil’, who were based in the vast forests. Luna and other people were nomads who came from Arsia to the Great Desert of Sternil.
“Are all demi-humans as good as you?”
“Hehe, you’re so kind, I’m embarrassed.”
“We are just realizing the joy of giving and the ecstasy of faith!”
“Ugh~ I’m so glad I did. “There are a lot of strong people out there, but they like making friends.”
Ain said, whose pronunciation was muffled due to his long fangs.
Most Ajin people say they are like themselves.
“Oh, I see.”
When everyone nods their heads in agreement.
The cat-like demi-human let out a low growl with his dilated pupils flashing.
“… “Except for Kachiki.”
“Kachiki?”
At that moment, the demi-humans’ expressions hardened and they became afraid. The demi-humans, who lived comfortably in the world despite being surrounded by armed humans, were overcome with extreme fear at the mere mention of one word. I got a feeling and quickly asked about Kachiki. Cat Ain answered with difficulty on behalf of Luna, who was reluctant to answer.
“There are Kachikis in the north. “They kill us and take our sheep, chickens and men.”
“They are bad guys. “Same demi-humans are killing each other?”
“Kachiki is like you humans.”
“hmm. “I understood it right away.”
“Kachiki are hungry people. I’m always hungry. It was because of them that we were driven out to the great desert. We can’t be satisfied anymore. “They will covet your land.”
“Oh, the land of humans?”
It clearly remained as a record.
Sternil, including Quartz. And across the sea to the Western Continent.
Records of the demi-human army crossing the land and attacking.
The demi-human army brutally ravaged the human army and was greedy for their wealth.
I couldn’t imagine that demi-humans like Luna would do something like that.
There was also a reason. Humans had a too narrow view of the sub-humans beyond the human land. They say that all demi-humans are of the same race. However, they were as different in temperament and culture as they were in appearance. Rather, if it were not for the two forces, Arsia and Yugrasil, the hostile force called Kachiki and the human force might have been waging an endless war long ago.
The Ajin people were really nice.
He answered the questions I asked honestly without any doubt about my intentions or true intentions.
I could get a rough idea of how vast the wild land was, how many tribes there were, and how big the power of the Kachiki was.
“The main stage… … .”
I realized it.
“It wasn’t.”
This ‘world’ is small. It is small compared to Earth. The Eastern Continent was filled with just two countries: the huge empire of Kunkan and the Kingdom of Sternil. In the West Continent, there are dozens of small and large kingdoms, including the Free City, but the size of the land mass is not much different. Estimating the distance traveled, wouldn’t the size of this world be slightly larger than the Asian continent?
but-
If the map they gave me is true.
This world is by no means small. Unless it is limited to the ‘human world’.
“The distance to the Chetni and Megang tribes takes four days on horseback. And another five days to reach the Megang tribe and Sotori Temple. And there are dozens of these tribes and temples in Arsia, and they are all located that far apart.”
When guessing based on the distance the horse moved.
The wild land was larger than the territories of all nations combined.
In other words, it means that an unknown continent larger than the human world is spread out beyond.
I had a rough guess, though.
The more I realized it, the more my headaches hurt.
On that wide continent.
With how many threats.
How many f*cking devils are lurking around?
* * *
“Im here.”
Three days have already passed since I was talking to Ain.
As promised, the chief officer arrived. The captain politely asked me to meet him.
“I know.”
I knew it even before the captain reported it.
I feel it. Even now. My skin stings. His energy was already radiating from hundreds of meters away and pressuring me. Is it a suppression? He is a warlike person. We want to gain the upper hand by revealing our power rather than hoarding it. I don’t know who he is, but he’s not an ordinary guy. Although it is impossible to determine the exact level, it is certain that he has surpassed the ‘master’ level. I felt a little creepy. If things go wrong and you end up fighting him-
[Kill, kill, kill.]
“You just shut up.”
Sounds fun.
He left the barracks and headed to the shore where his ship was anchored.

I would have been told who I was. Nevertheless, he showed hostility towards me.
Overpowering? The closer it gets, the more powerful the power it emits becomes. There were knights lined up on the shore to welcome him. Self-respecting knights sat on both sides and knelt. It is a path created by the submission and loyalty of knights.
When I saw a ship anchored on the nearby shore, I knew a big game was coming. It is a warship with a sail engraved with the symbol of Materand. A galleass ship that even Admiral Schwarzen of the North did not own. The number of floors is over 6 stories, and the number of cannons installed reaches dozens. She was also radiating her magical power as if a protective spell had been placed on her wood itself. Soon they arrived at the shore in a small boat.
They were nine knights wearing blue armor from the Materand family.
“what?”
I have no doubt that our Blue Wolf Knights are the best knights order in the world, beyond the continent. The educator was a Lanista. Although they are still far below his standards, it is clear that they are strong players who are steadily growing. In a few years, he may blossom and take off, achieving an amazing feat of reaching the level of master, which is all knights at the vice-captain level or higher.
But the moment I saw them.
If those nine knights were the Materand Knights.
I thought I might need to revise my beliefs.
Is something like that possible?
I asked the captain vaguely.
“Who are they?”
he answered.
“It is said that three types of monsters live in the Great Sea.”
The captain said with an expression full of pride.
“The monster Leviathan of the ocean, the siren of the rocky island. and.”
Those who arrived are the highest knights of the Matherand family and vassals who protect the duke by his side.
“Three Straits. “They are the guardians of the strait whom even the devil fears.”
“Yes. “You’re amazing.”
All nine knights were warriors of great status.
However, the gigantic knight at the forefront was a man with such strong spirit that he could be considered an expert in the military world. The one who tested me by emitting evil energy must be the author.
“And the commander of the Three Straits, the great man who leads us all.”
As the captain continued to shout, I realized the reason.
“The pillar of Taicheng that governs the strait. “This is His Majesty Matherand.”
He was a duke.
* * *
The Duke passed the knights and stood in front of me.
2 meters… Height appears to be over 2 meters and 10 centimeters.
He has a very intimidating physique.
The Duke of Matherand was wearing a helmet and armor that covered his entire face. It was blue armor like the other knights, but I noticed that it was made of a familiar material. The armor the author is wearing is made of Leviathan scales, right?
Before introducing myself, in the split second, I used Cheonan-gun while observing his momentum. What kind of guy is this? He seems belligerent and dangerous. In order to get as much information as possible about him, I looked at him through Cheonan Tong. And that moment. I realized. Wow, what is this?
“It is an immense honor to meet you, Polestar Qualtz Reinberg and Matherand.”
The Duke of Matherand, shrouded in mystery.
His age, appearance, and even gender were unknown.
The Duke of Ganggol, who did not appear despite the emperor’s orders.
I feel sorry for him, but Cheonan Tong revealed the secrets he had been hiding in an instant.
As he was a mysterious Duke, there were many trivial rumors about him. That he was actually a spy for the devil, that he was a non-existent being, that the previous Duke was not dead and was still alive~, etc.
But the reality was worse than the rumors.
First of all, I learned something trivial and unimportant.
The Duke of Matherand, who stood at 210 cm tall and had a larger body than Lanista, was actually a woman. I think the face behind the helmet is probably the prettiest of all the faces I’ve seen, aside from those. Well, this doesn’t matter either.
The problem is that he is not human.
Disguiser-
I’m glad it wasn’t.
Anyway, that’s true.
Duke of the Empire.
Classified as an ‘enemy’ of the world.
‘Ain’ would have a big impact.
