39 – When the Dawn Breaks (2)

Dawn.

Around dawn, there were six figures secretly leaving the building.

As we left the inn, we parted ways.

Following Melon and Helen, I started repeating in my head the story I heard yesterday.

[The place where they are gathered is a warehouse in this village.]

[It is owned by one of them, but it is said that a sit-in is being held there.]

[I heard that the security is not very strict, but when the raid begins, enemies will pop out here and there, so please be careful.]

[There are two ways out of the warehouse. I figured out where the back door leads in advance, so I think it’s better to divide people there.]

[I understand. I think we should enter first, and then follow.]

Melon and I, Helen and Heren are one group.

The strategy was aligned with us entering first, followed by Dell and Blue.

Forcibly holding his trembling hand, I tried to stabilize my shaking head.

First operation. First practice.

I wasn’t as nervous as I thought, but I felt the cold wind of dawn stiffening my body.

Blame it!

I just moved faster to force it to melt.

“… You don’t have to be nervous.”

Seeing my hard expression, Helen came over and said softly. I forcibly nodded and looked ahead.

“The place in front of me is the hideout of the enemies I mentioned.”

“… It is definitely not a suitable place to attack.”

Although the warehouse was located inside the village, it straddled the border of the village at an angle.

Since it was far away from other buildings, it was good to check the appearance of those approaching from the outside, and the back door probably extended out of the village.

“Well, it’s okay to push it by force anyway.”

There was tension that could not be hidden even on Melon’s face as he spoke with a calm expression.

That’s probably the right amount of tension and relaxation, but I couldn’t help but laugh at his words.

“I will begin.”

Copper hasn’t burst yet.

Breaking through the dim darkness and cold, we were shot straight out.

#

“….”

“Drumbling… pooh….”

It was quite relaxed inside the warehouse, where only the faint sound of snoring could be heard.

Yes, it was hard to believe that people were being chased or threatened with their lives.

How is that possible?

Once upon a time, the spies of the barbarians were an organization made up of dots. Points not connected by a line.

Not only do they not know the news of other organizations, but they do not think to know. It was because he was thoroughly educated.

This was because at the moment when they announce the news of other organizations and form bonds or links with other organizations, if one collapses, all collapses inevitably occur.

That’s why they couldn’t help but remain calm when they heard that the knights of the north were tracking them.

Because I’ve never actually encountered the knights of the north.

And that peace was until now.

———Boom!!

“What… what… !”

Right next to the warehouse door, two soldiers who were sleeping against the wall jumped up in surprise at the roar.

As the rising white dust and cold wind rushed in, the soldier rubbed his sleepy eyes and gazed into them.

Before his body and mind, which had been in a peaceful sleep until just now, hadn’t even woken up, he found a sparkling light in the misty smoke.

‘… Light?’

Something sharp was reflected in the rising sunlight.

The moment he thought so, he instinctively opened his mouth.

“I, the red raid… !”

Chew!

He was about to shout that it was a red raid, but he couldn’t finish his words. It was because the sword that cut his throat precisely cut off his breath in a situation where he couldn’t see properly in front of his eyes.

“Kreureuk….”

The breath they couldn’t breathe was scattered into the air, and one of them, walking calmly in the smoke, opened his mouth and looked around.

“What are you shouting about for granted? Aren’t the people who break through the door first and foremost considered guests?”

“…… Before you wake up, let’s start.”

Here, who was sleeping on the other side of the soldier Melon killed, stopped breathing before he could grasp the situation and get up.

Melon nodded her head, and at the same time Here and Helen spurred her ground and shot out.

Chew!

“What, what… !”

As the roar and screams rang out, the savages who stood up one by one to grasp the situation disappeared in vain.

Looking at that scene, Cain also drew his sword and joined the battlefield.

Melon looked at her surroundings with a relaxed expression, only checking to see if there was a strong person among them or those who secretly escaped.

“Red Raid!! It’s an enemy!!”

“The Archduke’s dogs have appeared!!!”

“…… A dog of the Archduke.”

While calmly confronting them one by one, Heree looked at those who were screaming.

The pot-bellied man who degraded the famous knights of the north as dogs of the north flinched and trembled at Here’s sharp gaze.

Because he was being chased by the knights of the north, Here burst into laughter at the half-naked man, and nervously lowered his sword.

“Oh, be careful.”

It was the moment when Here and Helen mercilessly slaughtered the enemy.

Melon, who was quietly watching the situation from behind, warned them, and at that moment, someone appeared in front of Here.

‘It’s fast.’

Kang!

Here instantly realized that the person in front of him was different from the others, and instinctively raised his sword.

Swords collided with each other and small sparks flew out, and Here and the opponent took a couple of steps back.

Herere stared at the opponent in front of him, frowning at the feeling of his wrists throbbing.

“It’s unnecessarily big.”

“… You are small.”

Here’s height is 178 cm.

He was not short for an adult man, and his physique was on the sturdy side compared to the others, but the opponent in front of him was of a different rank.

With his physique comparable to Del’s, the man also replied to the words he muttered while sticking out his tongue involuntarily.

“I am Ur. A proud savage warrior.”

“… Here. It is one of the swords that protect the North.”

Herere replied with a disapproving expression to Ur as he raised a bastard sword the size of his body and slightly looked away.

“Helen, you won’t be able to help Cain… Same!”

[Call the young master by name during battle. It could be a target for enemies for no reason.]

Cain and Helen nodded their heads to Here, who was shot away, recalling the attention Melon had given him.

Then, Here and Ur began to collide.

‘… It’s fast.’

Cain stared at them with a sidelong glance as he deflected their attacks.

Both were terrifyingly fast, unlike their huge bodies for adult men. Cain, biting his lower lip at a speed he couldn’t keep up with, focused on the enemies in front of him.

Chew!

Cain’s sword obliquely slashed the shoulder blades of the charging soldier. Cain couldn’t help but frown at the chilling sensation of sharp blades slicing through human flesh.

“Kuhhh… !”

‘… sh*t.’

If Cain had given her an extra hit just now, the soldier in front of her would surely have died. No, she would have taken her life had she cut a little deeper in the first place.

It was perfect to instinctively block the sword and slash, but at the last moment, the hand holding the sword lost its strength.

It was because of an instinctive reluctance to kill.

Cain cursed inwardly and distanced himself. He felt the hand holding the sword tremble and gave more strength.

It was an instinctive action to not show trembling, but it didn’t help much in actual combat.

Reincarnating in this world was a fact that I had known and experienced in my ten years of living.

Therefore, I already understood with my brain that I had to get used to killing.

This world is different from the previous world.

However, the brain that had grown accustomed to living in the previous world for twenty years was still instinctively avoiding murder in peace.

“Kill them all!!”

While Cain was bruising, the enemies attacked them first. The soldier, who had been cut in the shoulder by Cain, rushed at Cain with a sigh.

Helen calmly dealt with the onslaught of soldiers with Cain behind her.

The ranks of her soldiers did not matter to her. But the number was a problem.

Melon was on the move to catch those fleeing, while Here was captured by Ur. Cain didn’t help with power, and there was no news from Del and Blue.

Therefore, it was Helen’s responsibility to deal with the remaining soldiers.

“Die, you son of a b*tch!!”

Helen gently bit her lip as she slashed the soldiers charging at Cain.

The second son of a Valencian baron.

The hostess of the grand duke’s family whom he longs for, and the one who hangs the girl whom the knights terribly cherish.

Helen couldn’t even imagine what would happen if his body returned unwell.

That’s why I risked my life to protect her.

It was expected that a boy with no real combat experience would hold them back. Helen was aware of that fact and she spun her mana even faster.

Kang! Kang!!

It constantly scans for gaps while blocking the rushing sword attacks. Cain took a step as Helen’s eyes rolled around and moved her body.

Pooh!

He thrust his sword into the chest of a soldier who was aiming for Helen’s back.

“…… aaagh!!”

He tried to pierce his heart at once, but it seemed to miss slightly, and the soldier who stabbed his chest with a sword let out a painful scream.

Cain’s body trembled at the sound of that tear-jerking scream.

Like a child who unintentionally committed his first murder.

“Dog… child… Kkeuk… !”

The blood that pierced the heart flows back into the mouth and chokes the soldier. Drops of blood spurted out from the breath that he couldn’t breathe out and fell on Cain’s face as they flew into the air.

Cain staggered back behind her and opened her mouth absentmindedly at the cool yet lukewarm feeling.

“Ah… ah….”

First murder.

She ended her one life with her own hands. Cain stood behind her, tugging at her sword, which stabbed her soldier in the chest, and stared at her fallen soldier.

Flutter.

Cain looked at him trembling as the soldier fell to the ground coughing up blood.

You have to move your body.

Murder was determined.

Such thoughts constantly ran through his head, but Cain couldn’t move as if his feet were glued to the floor.

‘…… It’s dangerous.’

Melon looked at the situation while dealing with the escaping spies of the barbarians. She frowned when she saw Cain, who had hardened.

The situation on the battlefield was chaotic.

Helen alone could not hold back all of her soldiers, and Herere was in no position to help.

Melon had to choose.

Will you kill all spies who escape like this and root them out as ordered, or will you save Helen and Cain’s lives?

And that worry didn’t last long.

Pudeuk.

Melon, who had gnawed her teeth, was about to move her steps toward Cain and Helen.

“…… Red light.”

Cain’s black eyes flashed red in an instant.

It was a greedy, cool red light that even Melon, who had crossed countless battlefields, felt dangerous.
