“Oh, come to think of it, what did you think of my lines? Was it a bit like a king? “I tried to act like a deacon, but I don’t know if people will see it that way.”
“Uh, that?”
Siris laughed inwardly.
To be honest, I thought I was going to die after hearing it. He said with his own mouth, ‘Did you think you could harm this king!’?
However, in the first place, all the so-called ‘bold’ shouts made by warriors are cannibalistic. Since there was nothing to complain about, Siris obediently agreed.
“Yes, it seemed like the successor to ‘Jim Unbreakable’. “It was great.”
“I don’t know if it’s a compliment or an insult… … .”
Baron Garlin approached the confused Reppenhardt. He was dressed in heavy armor, like a knight on the battlefield. Bowing his head politely, Baron Galin looked impressed.
“I really don’t know how to thank you, Lord Leppenhardt. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have even dreamed of today’s victory.”
Reppenhardt responded calmly, expressing humility.
“It’s just something we have to do as allies.”
☆ ☆ ☆
It was fifteen days ago that the County of Antares sent word to Baron Galin that they wanted to form an alliance.
The Baron almost burst into tears upon hearing the news of the envoy. I was already contemplating whether to drink poison or use a dagger and think about how to commit suicide to be noble. Hugging his wife and screaming like a crazy person.
“I survived! “Now our family lives!”
This is the County of Antares, which is famous for rotting Auror users. Moreover, the ruler has no reason to fear the famous King Reppenhardt, Lord Grandiard.
The terms of the alliance were not that bad.
What the County of Antares requested was three things.
1. If the territory war is won, the eastern half of the Cetas Barony will be occupied by the County of Antares, and the western half will be occupied by the Baron.
2. When the different races of the County of Antares reside in the Galin Barony, their status and rights in the County will be recognized and officially announced.
3. Free all slaves of different races within the territory and send them to the Kingdom of Antares, and enact a law prohibiting the enslavement of other races in the future.
In case 1, it was a condition that was not really desired.
The current situation of Baron Galin was astounding, and even if Repenhardt had offered to give away the entire Barony of Cetas and part of Baron Galin’s territory as a bonus, it was something he could not refuse anyway. However, since he wanted to divide his territory equally in half, there was no reason to object.
In case 2, I readily agreed. In any case, Baron Galin had also acknowledged through the civil war that the different races of the County of Antares were completely different from the slave races commonly seen. Even without promulgating it as a law, Baron Galin was not strong enough to treat a different race of Antares as a slave when they came to his territory.
But decision number 3 was not an easy one.
I could understand the condition of freeing slaves of different races and sending them to the country of Antares.
It is the master’s authority to free slaves of different races, but it is the king’s authority to grant them rights as citizens. Even if Baron Galin liberates a slave, that slave cannot immediately become a citizen of the Kingdom of Crovence. However, the county of Antares, which has autonomy, can grant the slaves the rights of a citizen.
And the Galin Barony, which mainly operates at the trade level, does not operate large-scale orc slave farms or make profits by employing dwarven slaves. Therefore, freeing these races from slavery would not cause much disruption to the industry within the territory.
However, even so, in the process of building the upper level, he used a significant number of Orc slaves as porters, and among the merchants under his command, there were a significant number of Elf slaves. Right now, Baron Galin himself was treating two elf women as maids and slaves.
It was obvious that the backlash from slave owners would be significant. Additionally, the resistance of the Sayre Church within the territory could not be ignored. Because disobeying the fate given by the Lord can be seen as blasphemy.
However, Baron Galin eventually passed the third article with the consent of the slave owners.
Anyway, now is not the time for Galin Baron to distinguish between white bread and black bread. No one could refute his statement that it was better than losing everything while trying to save one or two slaves.
As soon as the alliance was concluded, Leffenhardt sternly declared war on Baron Cetas.
-Baron Galin is a precious comrade who fought together to serve the true king! How could he remain silent when he was in danger? We will strike down justice on the shameless Baron Chetas who denies a fair duel!
Well, the real purpose is to expand the influence of ideology on other races and increase the territory of the County of Antares. However, since ancient times, cause is important in wars, and unlike his previous life, Reppenhardt was now steadily pursuing the cause.
After declaring war, Leffenhardt immediately entered the war with thirty Knights of Antares and seven hundred troops. They were all human soldiers under his command.
This time, they did not bring an army of a different race. Now, all of these races were busy saving their compatriots in various parts of the continent and strengthening their internal stability. In addition, it was necessary to show the power of humans in order to appeal that the Kingdom of Antares was not just a country for other races. The reason he wanted to pay for food for his newly acquired human subordinates also played a part.
And Baron Galin didn’t seem to regret it or anything.
King Reppenhardt and the Swordsman of the New Moon, Siris alone, were enough to turn the tide of battle.
☆ ☆ ☆
A narrow gorge beneath a sheer cliff.
Hundreds of infantrymen hold crude spears and look ahead in horror. Most of them were forcibly conscripted from various parts of the territory and were ignorant peasants who had never experienced combat.
Located on the other side of the canyon were about a thousand troops and 50 knights, but the infantry was not looking at that army right now.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on one thing: the brown-haired giant at the head of the army.
“The author is the legendary King of Powers… … .”
“How on earth are we supposed to deal with such an enormous warrior… … .”
Reppenhardt stepped forward and shouted.
“All of you who value your life, step back!”
A loud voice shook the canyon. The expressions of the infantrymen became even paler. Before I knew it, the soldiers began to retreat one by one.
Dozens of knights lined up behind the infantry, and shouts erupted from among them.
“Stay in your place! Those who run away will be severely punished!”
The person shouting was Sir Garland.
The Baron Chetas army, which was defeated one after another, was eventually pushed back to Nedas Canyon. After crossing this gorge, the main castle, Hundargaard, was reached, so with the determination to die, the remaining troops were organized and camped out.
Garand shouted as if he was coughing up blood.
“Everyone, don’t lose courage! “No matter how powerful he is, he is just a human being!”
At that moment, a golden aura exploded from Reppenhardt’s entire body. With a dazzling aura all over his body, he raised his fist above his head.
“Those who do not back down will not face tomorrow!”
Rumble!
A thunder rang out and a golden pillar pierced the air. A pillar of light shot up, tearing through the clouds and rippled through the winter sky. The clouds spread out in a circle, leaving a hole in the sky.
The infantry became thoughtful and shouted.
“You’re not just a human!”
“Why does a mere human body glow?”
“Why would a mere human pierce the sky with a punch!”
Leffenhardt began to walk. Every time, a haze of speculation arises. The fear of the infantry becomes even more intense.
However, here he is only killed by the swords of the knights standing behind him. The soldiers cursed the sky as they were in a situation where they could not do anything.
Garand shouted, holding out his sword.
“Infantry, all charge!”
Reppenhardt clicked his tongue as he looked at the approaching infantry.

‘Tch, even if I scare you this much, you won’t run away?’
Well, looking at the expressions on the infantrymen’s faces, it doesn’t seem like they are overflowing with courage and are attacking them, but rather that they have no choice but to do as they please.
Reppenhardt placed his hand on his waist as he looked at the frantically running infantry. They are different from knights or mercenaries. They were not civilians, but simply peasants who had been dragged out.
“Then you should show mercy.”
A red single stick was held in both hands of Reppenhardt. At that moment, the infantrymen at the forefront were shocked. No, in what country is it the law to take out a weapon and say you will show mercy?
But Leffenhardt was sincere.
“If you get hit with this, you won’t die.”
Originally, in Jim Unbreakable, there was a tradition of taking out a weapon and roughly dealing with minor soldiers, but then throwing the weapon away when a real enemy appeared.
To begin with, it is Mumun whose entire body is a weapon. Rather than controlling your strength and punching your opponent out of fear that they might die, it is better to just grab an appropriate weapon and coolly beat them, which can help you avoid murder and is good for your mental health. It may seem funny at first glance, but when you get to know it, it is a very reasonable and merciful way to deal with it.
“Eurachachachachachacha!”
With a loud cheer, Reppenhardt jumped into the enemy lines. The two daggers glowed with an eerie red light and hit the infantrymen like laundry. It was a red bamboo stick from Halain that I had specially purchased for times like this.
Jim Unbreakable cannot inject aura into objects like other auror abilities. However, this bamboo from Halaine, which had the strength of steel and the elasticity of rubber, did not break in most cases even without the aura. There was nothing like this that could be wielded freely without worrying about it breaking.
“Agogo!”
“Ahh!”
“mother!”
“Save people!”
Wherever Reppenhardt passed, screams erupted and soldiers with broken limbs groaned and rolled around on the floor.
It was a pretty scary-looking sight, but if it made you groan in the first place, it wasn’t a threat to your life. Although they were injured, everyone survived.
The infantry was mercilessly trampled despite the hundreds of one-on-one battles. If the opponent was an ordinary Auror user, he would have received one or two hits with a blind sword while doing so, but those damned burden Unbreakable warriors don’t even blink when hit by something like that, so there is absolutely no way.
Garand’s countenance hardened as he looked at the gruesome battle of the infantry.
“… … As expected, it’s not even an opponent.”
But there was no sign of frustration. In the first place, it is a monster that even the flying mercenaries and knights cannot make a single scratch on. I had no idea that I would be an opponent of this infantry force that had gathered together peasants.
From the beginning, this infantry unit had only one mission:
Binding King Reppenhardt to this battlefield!
“That arrogant bastard always takes the lead, so I thought he would do the same this time.”
Garand looked across the canyon with shining eyes.
As expected, the other Antares-Ghalin coalition forces were not in formation and participating in the battle. It was obvious that they intended to attack only after Reppenhardt had run wild like before.
“That arrogance will hold you back!”
Garand signaled by gesturing in the air. Soldiers who had prepared in advance appeared at the top of the canyon, pulling carts.
Loaded on the cart was a huge siege crossbow, a ballista. Originally, weapons to attack castles were prepared to deal with just one human.
“No matter how powerful you are, there is no way you will be safe in front of a ballista!”
Five carts loaded with ballistas quickly prepared to fire. The enormous javelins, made entirely of poured iron and as thick as an adult’s forearm, were all aimed at Reppenhardt.
“launch!”
bang! bang! Ta-ta-tang!
With a loud protest sound, five ballistas fired javelins at once. The sound of explosions echoed throughout the canyon, and javelins rushed towards Repenhardt.
I love you so much!
At that moment, Reppenhardt turned his head. And he snorted as he looked at the flying javelins.
“Heh!”
Take a stance by throwing the bamboo stick in your hand. Throws a heavy mid-thrust at the incoming javelin.
“Straight cannon!”
The fist tore through the air, releasing a shock wave.
Paaang!
The shock wave became a shield, distorting the atmosphere and blocking the javelin’s frontal impact. The flying javelin was blocked by the punch and trembled in the air.
Next, a golden aura ripple swept away all five steel spears. The sky turned golden, and all the javelins were shattered at once and began to scatter in all directions like toothpicks.
Let’s go… … .
Amid the scattered debris, Reppenhardt withdrew his fist and relaxed his posture. Garand stuttered in exasperation.
“Uh, how can you make a ballista with just your fists…?” … .”
In the past, through the introduction of Baron Chetas, I briefly gained insight into the inaction of the Auror user, Lord Grandiard. But even if he were, I don’t think he would be able to do such an enormous thing. The infantrymen who were watching had blank expressions.
“What is that… … .”
“I don’t know, I’m scared… … .”
