The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 285

Chapter 61 Gather your warriors (5)

7.

Quagga-ga-ga-ga-ga!

A wall collapsing with violent force.

At the same time, numerous fragments that made up the wall turned into ash and poured into the desert. And Alec wasn’t the only one embarrassed by this sight.

“… … !?”

Cracks appeared on the faces of the heretics, who had been expressionless like dolls. This probably means that something happened that even they could not have expected.

Meanwhile, unidentified reinforcements were busy hunting down the heretics.

Then.

Wiggle!

Some fragments that were thought to have disappeared moved like living things and became one lump. Next, a loud roar shook the hall.

【Gaaaaaa!】

A volume so loud that it makes the sand shake.

Alec and the soldiers all covered their ears to the sound that seemed to be out of this world. Because I couldn’t bear it without doing this.

Of course, there were exceptions.

Two reinforcements whose identities are unknown. Among them, a large man holding an ax ran through the land of martyrs, ignoring the cries.

“Stop him!”

“—Never—don’t let me go!”

Was it because his actions were different from what was expected?

The heretics, who had not said a word since they first appeared, spoke in a halting tone and blocked the man’s path.

But it was pointless.

No matter how many heretics there are, they will never be stronger than the black monster.

On the other hand, the man running on the sand is a strong man who defeats the black monster with a single blow.

So the actions of the pagans were nothing more or less than simply buying time.

And just as Alec expected…

The end of the pagans was terrible.

puck! Crack! Kwasik!

At the same time as the violent collision, the heads of numerous cultists were crushed, and the arms and legs that had lost their owners flew high into the sky.

“oh my god… … .”

Eyes filled with astonishment.

In fact, it was natural for Alec to be surprised.

Judging by the fact that he had come to help them, it was clear that he belonged to the Imperial Army, but as far as he knew, there was no one with that level of skill within the headquarters.

‘No, if you really ask me, there is one.’

There is only one person who can show off such majesty. One of the Empire’s Five Swords and the commander of the Southern Command.

Istan El Deorg.

As far as Alec knew, Istan was the only place where heretics could be defeated so easily.

【Ugh! Kaaaaa!】

Meanwhile, when the heretics blocking the path were turned into pieces of meat, the black monster that had been writhing ceaselessly finally took on its perfect form.

The black outer covering, which was presumed to be skin, flowed down like melted cheese, and beyond it, ugly-looking eyes glowed with an eerie light.

A truly bizarre sight.

As if the black monster wasn’t enough after devouring the corpses of the heretics who had been turned into pieces of meat, it extended its magical power to the remaining people.

“Ugh! “Run away!”

“Oh, no! Do not come!”

The soldiers, who were already half out of their minds, retreated in confusion. But his approach was even faster than that.

【Gaaaa!】

Then, the area presumed to be the mouth became grotesquely distorted. It was like the laughter of a very hungry animal about to eat.

But to sum it up-.

It couldn’t eat the soldiers.

Quaaaang! Oh my!

Suddenly, with a loud noise, the black monster’s body split in half.

【─────!】

The numerous eyeballs visible through the black skin froze as if in shock. The monster then tried to regenerate the collapsed body once again.

But this time it was impossible.

Green onions! Pabababak!

Multiple arrows raining down on the monster.

All of these arrows were wrapped with unidentified talismans. And the moment the arrow pierced the monster’s body, its regeneration stopped.

Eyeballs with a clear look of embarrassment.

And taking advantage of that gap, the ax that cut the monster’s body in half flew through the air.

Quack! Crack! Whoa!

An ax that beats monsters like crazy.

As a result of an onslaught so strong that it was truly overwhelming, the monster collapsed without even letting out a final scream.

Tuk! Clap! Toad!

Sticky bodily fluids and fragments that made up the monster were rolling around in the desert.

However, there was no need to worry about the desert being polluted. The by-products of the monster soon turned into ash and mixed with the sand.

The monsters and cultists who had driven the majority of Alec’s men to death met their end so easily that it was pointless.

The battle was over in the blink of an eye.

Only after all the enemies had disappeared was Alec able to take a closer look at the people who helped him.

‘Was there three people, not two?’

There are only three reinforcements.

A highly skilled archer who appeared first and saved Alec from danger. An axe-wielding warrior who crushed pagans and monsters with overwhelming power.

Finally, an unidentified shaman who joined at the end and stopped the monster from regenerating.

They had two things in common.

One was that they were tightly wrapped in black robes, and the other was that each person was wearing a variety of masks.

Some time after that.

Alec, who had been silently examining the appearance of the reinforcements, immediately seemed to realize his mistake and hastily lowered his head towards the three.

“Thank you for your help.”

Regardless of the identity of the other person, it is clear that their life was saved.

So Alec was the first to say thank you and then revealed his name and identity.

“I am Lieutenant Alec Dropin, leading the reconnaissance unit of the Reuven Empire’s Southern Command.”

“… … .”

But no answer came back.

The three remained silent, and Alec had no choice but to speak first with an awkward look on his face.

“If it is not rude, may I ask your names and affiliations?”

No answer this time either.

Then, the one with the smallest body among the three stepped forward. He was believed to be a witch doctor.

“sorry.”

Alec’s eyes widened at the voice that followed. It was because the voice was very young and, moreover, it was the voice of a girl.

On the other hand, regardless of whether Alec was surprised or not, the shaman girl continued to answer in a calm tone.

“We are the Crow Brigade operating under Count Deorg. Therefore, I think it would be difficult to reveal his name.”

“ah! okay. All right.”

Crow Brigade.

The moment Alec heard their unit name, all curiosity in his mind was wiped away.

This is because the Crow Brigade was a unit directly under Count Deorg and a top-secret unit within the Southern Command.

Therefore, ever since Alec heard about the Crow Brigade, he has not asked or wondered about the identities of the three.

Meanwhile, around that time.

Of course, it was Noah who introduced himself as the Crow Brigade. And there were unavoidable circumstances here.

‘You must not reveal your identity to the imperial army.’

The fact that the Ulan group came to the desert is a secret that only Istan knows. It won’t do any good if word of mouth spreads and your presence is revealed.

‘It’s a combination that still stands out.’

Red-eyed barbarians, Ulan.

He has made a name for himself as the youngest master and already has a clear presence just by his appearance.

So, to prevent my bare skin from being exposed, I wrapped myself in a black robe given to me by Istan, and also wore a mask on my face.

This wasn’t Noah’s only preparedness.

I asked them not to use the area because it would make it easier to identify the candidate if it were revealed that he was a master.

‘If the Ulan used the area… … .’

The black monsters and heretics would have disappeared from the world in less than ten seconds.

The current Ulan has become that much stronger.

Next, Sven also stands out.

The reason was that he had great monster-hunting skills, but the more fundamental reason was that he was a member of the Myoin race.

A Myoin hunter with excellent hunting skills.

Looking at him like this, he could immediately be reminiscent of Sven, so Noah put a mask and robe on him like Ulan.

‘And so do I.’

Of course, Noah did not have much fame or fame compared to the aforementioned Ulan and Sven.

However, she had something to hide.

Just black hair. Since this was by no means common, there was a risk that Noah’s identity could be identified based on this alone.

‘And the reason why only three of us came… … .’

Except for Ulan, Noah, and Sven, the rest were the only ones who were too noticeable even when disguised in robes or masks.

Among them, Perticia in particular was the reason the Empire declared war on the Desert Cult, so her existence must never be discovered.

Anyway, for this reason, Noah brought only Ulan and Sven to the scene where there was a smell of blood.

This also played a part in the belief that just Ulan or Sven could solve most problems.

Lastly, the reason why Noah introduced themselves as the Crow Brigade was also simple.

This was because he said this at a meal with Istan before leaving for the desert.

“If you happen to encounter imperial troops in the desert, tell them you belong to the Crow Brigade. “You will be able to avoid quite a few annoying things.”

An independent unit under the direct command of the Southern Commander.

The Crow Brigade is a group whose existence and members are all shrouded in mystery. Noah was acting like that because it was just right to avoid suspicion.

After I finished reminiscing like that.

Noah turned his gaze to Alec.

“Did you say Lieutenant Alec?”

“Ah yes! That’s right.”

Alec answers with an unmoving posture.

Noah said there was no need to be so nervous and revealed the reason why he called him.

“Can I ask you one question?”

“of course! “What kind of question is this?”

“I was curious about what you were doing before you were attacked by the heretics.”

This is where the battle with the pagans took place.

Looking at the map, this is a place belonging to the Desert Cult’s territory. In other words, it meant that it was a place full of pagans.

Even though an all-out war is imminent, there is no way the reconnaissance unit will come this far. You know that you will be surrounded.

‘But the fact that you came in… … .’

This is probably because there is a corresponding reason.

Noah decided that way. And her guess was correct.

“As you probably already know, we were on a mission to monitor the movements of the heretics in preparation for an upcoming all-out war.”

Alec shakes his head.

He continued to answer obediently.

“However, an unusual strange phenomenon was suddenly observed close to the campsite. We immediately began tracking them down, and in the process ended up in the territory of the Desert Cult.”

Afterwards, it was attacked by pagans.

Alec explained in detail what happened right before he and his unit ended up in this situation. After thinking about this for a while, Noah spoke again.

“Then, does the strange phenomenon you just mentioned have anything to do with that big monster?”

“Oh, that’s not it.”

Alec immediately shook his head.

“The strange phenomenon we discovered was a structure that suddenly emerged from beneath the sand.”

“… … “A building?”

“Yes, it looks like a spire, and it surges up at high speed through the sand.”

A tower said to have risen from beneath the ground.

The moment Noah heard Alec’s words, Noah became certain of one thing. He was convinced that this story should not be let go.

So I immediately asked a question.

“Can you tell me where the tower is?”

“It’s not far from here. “You’ll find it right after you pass that hill.”

Alec pointed in the direction.

A large sand dune located quite far from here. As Noah, Ulan, and Sven’s gaze turned towards the hill, Alec continued speaking.

“I would like to guide you, but… … .”

This was not feasible in the current situation.

In most cases, not only Alec but also his subordinates were seriously injured. So, when he looked bitter, Noah spoke to him as if to comfort him.

“it’s okay. Because I understand.”

“Whew, thank you.”

Alec bows his head as if grateful.

Later, as the conversation was coming to an end, Noah, who had been rummaging around in his arms, handed him something.
