Chapter 124
The sound of soldiers panting filled the forest path.
An unexpected march
It wasn’t just a march either.
You had to cover a distance of thousands of meters as if you were running and you couldn’t fall behind even for a second.
Even if war breaks out we will not march like this ignorantly…
I was going to use up all my stamina before I could even fight…
But now…
Kugugoogung!
“Joe run faster!”
“It’s the second earthquake!”
“Everyone prepare for impact!!”
I was busy trying my best without voicing complaints or complaints.
There was no human being who could stand against the fury unleashed by nature such as an earthquake.
Damn it!
The ground which was already weak due to the worms digging through the ground was prone to collapsing like a sand castle due to an earthquake and the surrounding area of several hundred meters began to turn into chaos.
If you get caught there you won’t be buried alive but you’ll end up looking like a burst tomato as if you fell off a cliff.
The soldiers who did not want to face such an outcome did their best to escape the earthquake zone.
dump!
Just a few tens of minutes…
The soldiers miraculously succeeded in escaping from the earthquake-prone area.
This is a moment to prove that a human being can do anything he wants to do.
“I bought and lived…”
“I can’t walk anymore…”
“···I’ll chase after you·”
There were people who sat down or fell down one after another.
It was time for the executives to come forward and say something and say that order should be established but unfortunately the situation was such that the executives like the soldiers were falling down one after another out of breath.
I was exhausted and relieved for a moment…
Quagwagwang!!
“ah····”
···The tunnel collapses·
It is the largest fertilizer producer in the southern continent and a hell for sinners with a history that goes back well over a hundred years.
Quad deud deuk!
simplicity and honesty-!
Witnessing the scene of destruction occurring in real time all people could feel was awe and confusion not a sense of relief that they were alive.
How many people can see in real time the entire land within a radius of hundreds of meters caving in and collapsing?
No even if it were possible that day might be the last of most people’s lives…
In that sense they were lucky…
“This is all thanks to the prince no Lord Aren!”
“you’re right! If it weren’t for Lord Aren we would…! Ugh!!”
“Noble and wise White Lion of Pendragon! “You are our hero!”
[Waaaa!]
The soldiers did not spare praise for the royal knight who saved them.
If it weren’t for his quick judgment there wouldn’t have been so many people who survived…
If the rumor spreads it would be an achievement that all the people would be amazed by.
It was a moment when enormous fame and glory were promised and it was a time for Aren to feel infinitely satisfied and arrogant due to his personality but…
“…please stop please…!”
He just covered his face in shame.
If there are people who shamelessly laugh at the topic of stealing other people’s achievements as if they were their own then on the other hand there are also people who cannot stand the situation.
And Aren was clearly on the latter side…
Although he had an arrogant personality he had grown a little more mature recently due to unintentionally strong mental education and the golden prince shuddered at the praise directed at him.
It’s so shameful…
However…
“You’re also humble…!”
“After all royalty!”
“Descendants of the great King of Knights!!”
They say that once something looks good everything seems good but the soldiers’ bean pods were not something that would fall off easily.
“I tell you all to shut up!!”
“Haha you must be shy…”
“This is it…”
“You are also humble…”
“Aaaah!!”
The iron-covered piece of gold was painful…
“-Why are you doing this when you deserve so much praise?”
“That’s right…”
The two knights Jake and Yord tilted their heads as they watched Aren shudder.
In fact it was Aren who saved most of the soldiers…
“Who else but the royal family would do something like this?”
What was the reason for the soldiers to cooperate so purely follow evacuation orders and even take care of the prisoners?
This is because none other than the ‘royal family’ personally stepped forward and did the work.
Even if they were knights belonging to the Silver Lion how could they easily follow their orders?
It would be fortunate if it was just a matter of mumbling and disobedience to orders would have been rampant.
However the person who gave them orders was none other than a descendant of the King of Knights who was blessed by the noble silver dragon.
The silver-haired hair that symbolizes this and the name of Pendragon have the power to make people follow even unreasonable orders.
So he deserved to be praised for today…
“Is it because I matured at a late age? “You’re not good at objectifying yourself.”
Or maybe it’s because I’ve only heard false compliments my whole life and this is my first time hearing such sincere praise so it feels unfamiliar.
However they thought that reaction was not bad and decided not to praise them with their own words.
If you praise him for no reason when he is mature at best but then he turns into an ugly guy again what is the point of being reformed at best?
Lee Han says
It is said that there is no animal as immature as humans and no matter how much you try to reform it it will always return to its original state.
So you have to pick up the stick and hit it from time to time…
“Whoa I guess I’ll have to quickly find someone to hold the club.”
“You’re just saying honestly that you’re worried…”
“what?”
“···Nothing…”
Jake and Yorde quickly approached the collapsed tunnel.
In order to find him who never came up from the underground…
I believe it will be safe but I’m just wondering…
No matter how monstrous he is he is not a real monster…
And as if I agree with their thoughts…
“He’s not dead right? “Didn’t you really die fighting?”
They saw a passenger eagerly looking for him before them.
Gray-haired boy·
It was a face with a face.
“You’re a helper…”
The helper who helped them in the tunnel…
Obviously the name…
“Gong Derek are you looking for a senior?”
“Lord Jord…”
“···Huu as expected your senior didn’t get out?”
“···Many things happened…”
“···hmm·”
Derek had a look on his face that made it difficult for him to say anything and they fell silent guessing that a lot had happened.
‘That guy…’
‘No matter how senior you are if you were trapped underground… Ugh!’
They had serious expressions…
In fact I knew that it was a mission that required me to risk someone’s death but I never thought that he would become a victim…
As a shadow was being cast on my face…
“ah! there is!”
“?”
“···But what is it? Why am I being [detected] here?”
“??”
Derek suddenly said something with no meaning and they tilted their heads at the same time.
···What do we sense?
And the answer to this is…
thud!
“!!!?”
I could tell right away by looking at the pile of dirt that showed gentle heaving…
“No way!”
“For now dig it! hurry···!!”
The two knights quickly began digging the pile of dirt.
There is no shovel so you have to dig with a sword…
In some ways he did something he shouldn’t have done as a knight but what’s the problem with a sword when it comes to saving a comrade?
I have to endure more than that…
For now the sword that is the knight’s companion has become an excellent shovel and they are doing their best to dig the ground…
thud! Coo!
The soil began to shake even faster and crawl…
Puhwaaaaa!!
The arm stretched out…
“···Wow how did you really live?”
Derek was exclaiming in exclamation when he saw those arms and it was as if he was retorting at those words!
Kwaaaaang!
He appeared…
“Kuhhhhh!!”
As soon as he came out he was a mess spitting out a large handful of dirt and coughing continuously.
His entire body was covered in dust from head to toe and he had numerous wounds.
If it were other people he would have left this world long ago but his life force is so strong that he breathes in the fresh oxygen of the earth and gradually…
“Haaa! Lord you lived from death…!”
He showed some signs of recovery ·
And towards him the three people…
“Did he really dig his way up to the surface just now?”
“···An earthquake is an earthquake. How did you survive in such a huge pile of dirt?”
“Woah it’s not a worm it’s something…”
No it’s common sense that even real sand worms can’t survive in this mass of sand but…
‘···Actually is my common sense wrong?’
Derek survived but I was dazed when I saw him successfully escape from the dirt pile taking with him one giant.
But soon…
“···haha·”
Derek felt relieved and burst into laughter.
There is something pleasant about this situation itself…
anyhow·
‘He’s a person whose life itself is fun…’
There’s no time to get bored…
* * *
···Did and lived·
‘Wow how did I live?’
Lee Han was still coughing and spitting out dirt.
The oxygen is too sweet and the sunlight is too precious…
I was literally enjoying all the emotions felt by a human being who came back from the dead.
However even he himself could not believe that he had come back alive.
‘There are times in life when a monster bastard can be of help…’
The giant sand worm that Lee Han hacked to pieces and Maximus killed with the final blow.
Lee Han barely survived by using the sand worm’s corpse as a shelter.
Perhaps because it is a big gangster or because it lives in the dirt the sand worm’s outer shell can withstand the pressure of the soil to some extent.
And the process that followed was simple…
After the earthquake calmed down to some extent he just dug the ground with his bare hands and crawled with his whole body as if swimming in the silt.
How I swam in the dirt like a mole or an earthworm…
He didn’t know when he might die under the mud and he could have died trying to get out but Lee Han did it in the end.
Literally a human victory!
He wants to praise himself ·
“… It would have been fine if I had come out alone… Why are you putting yourself in danger by taking me out…”
“Now I’ve come to my senses man…”
“The air was so sweet…”
“If you knew just thank me. Don’t act like a fool.”
“…Anyway I want to thank you for saving my life…”
“It’s okay to bow down and receive me. That would be worse than not thanking you you human being.”
“Oh it’s unfair. I’m really feeling grateful…”
Maximus made an awkward expression…
If he saved someone’s life he saved it. He wasn’t used to receiving help from others or being in debt for his life so his greeting was awkward but he wasn’t so spoiled that he didn’t know how to be grateful.
I want to get up and try to relieve this injustice but…
“···My heart wants to bow right now but my body can’t move.”
“That’s because they use sutras like that…”
“I agree… But I never thought my body would be this messed up… Is this muscle pain? “It’s a feeling I’m experiencing for the first time.”
“···I’m proud·”
The way Maximus wrote the sutra was so ignorant that it was tantamount to suicide.
Especially the last…
When writing [Sky Smashing] even he was secretly scared…
Lee Han himself does not overlap more than five times when using a superimposed mirror but that person overlapped more than twelve times.
If it had been anyone else it would have been an act that would have exploded long ago.
Although he was able to endure only because he was a Maximus with the [Trait – Invincibility] he probably needed some time to rectify himself…
And this fact…
“…what a pity…”
“?”
“I should have made a decision…”
“···Eolssigu·”
Maximus was extremely disappointed…
Having to postpone the game because of muscle pain…
“-Hmm isn’t it? “When I think about it I think I lost in the end. Because you were the one who stood until the end.”
“····”
“I admit it you are the winner.”
“····”
“Next time I’ll have to be the challenger again hehe!”
“···Playing…”
Lee Han tried to shoot more.
Because there was something to refute…
But without even noticing…
Phew!
“-I’m sorry Sir. I will repay you for saving the vice-captain later. However I don’t feel like I’m in the right place right now. Please forgive my rudeness!”
A woman who appeared from nowhere bowed her head to him and quickly turned her body around.
She appeared to be from the North a 180 tall woman with pure white skin and quickly disappeared while carrying a 2 meter 30 tall giant that was much taller than herself.
It literally happened in an instant…
Lee Han-eun…
“You have good strength…”
Since I had no intention of stopping them from taking me in the first place I just scratched my cheek in a panic.
And…
“···He deceived that person and ran away…”
Lee Han frowned and looked at the handle of the sword at his waist saying that the ‘victory’ that that person gave him as if he was benevolent was quite unpleasant.
The remains of a sword that was a gladius whose blades had all disappeared─·
Indeed…
“How can this be the appearance of a person who has won?”
It was a victory more frustrating than a defeat.
