chapter 88
4. Tyra Martina – (33)
***
The illusion that the ground is making a small noise.
There was still quite a distance before the pouring black waves of the Witchbeast Legion reached the city of Glia. However, at the same speed as now, the Witchbeast will probably arrive tonight.
A legion of demons reaching the fort at night.
That meant the first battle to decide the momentum would be fought at night.
Even in a human-to-human war, it is impossible to tell when a war will suddenly break out due to the opponent’s intentions.
How much more so if the opponent is a Witchbeast, especially an army of Witchbeasts under the leadership of Vitria, who is called the Witchbeast of Disaster.
It is safe to say that it was an inevitable war.
The tensed body began to inflate Harjan’s huge body as it absorbed mana. His seemingly muscular torso thus imposingly flaunts his body.
It’s kind of warming up.
In the future, it would be difficult to find even a break to rest. Before the battlefield, I slowly let my body soak up mana.
The swollen muscles slowly subside and remain slightly more swollen than usual.
So Harjan moved to the guild to participate in the meeting. Even though he had already talked to them in preparation for the forthcoming war with the Witchbeasts, he had to speak with them one more time to make sure there were no more flaws.
……
Glia Mercenary Guild Building – Top floor.
The space used as the guild manager’s office now had a huge table and numerous chairs.
In preparation for the battlefield that will take place at night, it was necessary to speak with the various families protecting Glia immediately.
That’s why at the top of the guild, the highest authority of a knight family, which is hard to see normally, or a powerful person equivalent to him, was present and shining.
Glead is the great mountain in the north and is called the best knight family.
ㅡAcera Glade
The Martina family, who have been recognized as having a title in the Chaldean Empire for their expertise in beast hunting.
ㅡ Tyra Martina.
The Marquis of Birbalce, a knight family that values strength and the greatest wealth in the Chaldean Empire.
ㅡTolish Birbalce.
Glia mercenary guild manager.
ㅡHarzan.
A prestigious family that has produced lords of the Eastern Tower for generations, and a wizard who has reached the youngest 5th rank in the history of the Magic Tower.
Chersha Kalua.
Aside from that, people who could be called important figures from famous and prestigious families were gathered on the top floor of the guild.
After the first meeting, there was a lot of talk about how to respond to the beasts, the range and area to be blocked by each.
Among them, there was the biggest focus.
Support for the Glaad family to face the demons on the front line.
It was clear that the other knight families and other families were all important, and that each and every one of them was not light.
That said, compared to the weight of the name of Glaad, who would greet the demon army at the forefront, it was infinitely light.
A family of knights who will greet the Demon Beast Corps at the forefront. They were never to be broken in facing the beast, and had to remain on the battlefield longer than any other family.
Being at the forefront meant that. It was one of the core powers that controlled the morale of the battlefield with its existence itself.
“In that case, too. Wouldn’t it be most important that Glead not be isolated among the demon beasts?”
The eldest daughter of the Martina family was the first to speak about support. Tyra Martina was her.
A woman in her mid-twenties, with her long, blazing fire-like red hair lifted up and neatly tied back, and cold blue eyes, she had the title of Sogaju, the successor to the Martina family.
The Martina family.
Their main role is to analyze the weaknesses of dozens or hundreds of different monsters, as well as provide long-range support. It was a family that mainly dealt with bows and crossbows, so it was actually similar to the ‘shooter’ of mercenaries, but it was distinctly different when you dig into it.
Martina, a family that has kept its power for generations to thoroughly fight the demons for hundreds of years. That’s why they are simply different from their lineage.
By combining the blood of monsters belonging to the super-dangerous species with the Martina family’s vision magnification, it deliberately mixes with itself and strengthens the body. Some called it a power that transcended humans, and others said it was a cursed power.
Tirra Martina. Her unusual red hair and strange blue eyes meant it.
“Does not being isolated mean that we have to focus our efforts elsewhere?”
When another family member opened his mouth at Tyra’s words, Tyra shook her head slightly.
“I heard that the mage of the Kalua family has already supported Glead. Then there is no need to focus more power. This means that we need to strengthen the security of key people.”
“I see.”‘
“If it is Kahlua of the Glaad family, it must already be full and overflowing.”
Everyone looked at Tyra with a look of agreement, then turned their eyes away.
Asera just looked at Tyra while receiving that gaze.
She met Tyra’s blue eyes with cold eyes and opened her mouth.
“We need more detailed and practical support. It’s true that you need bodyguards, but what you need is a knight-like force.”
Asera’s resolute and cold voice quietly spread throughout the guild. Ashera She is a pale blue-eyed woman looking at herself now. Tyra didn’t like her.
It feels as if they are intentionally trying to reduce the power to support Glaade.
There is no clear evidence, and given the level 2 crisis situation, we should have cooperated with each other, but I was strangely suspicious.
“Of course, there must be some support from other knight families.”
Seeing Ashera like that, Tir-Ah nodded her head slightly and took her gaze away from Ashera and turned her head away.
Where she turned her gaze, a brilliant blonde woman was looking at her calmly.
Chersha Kalua.
I couldn’t easily guess how much power she had or her potential.
However, the reputation is as great as the far north here in the east. It must have been more powerful than I expected.
Actually, Tir Ah, she would have liked to move like Chersha, but she was thinking that way.
Her own clan, which focuses on her long-range support and tracking the situation.
Compared to that, Glead will stand on the front line and face the legions of demons.
No matter how you look at it, it felt like a wizard wasn’t suitable for a knight’s family to protect the front line.
No matter what anyone says, you should do your best to deal with the monsters that belong to the corps.
That was Chersha Kalua.
She supports Glead on the front line. What if there’s a problem…? That obviously will lead to her losing not just one of her, but dozens, hundreds, maybe she will lose more than that.
That continued to haunt her mind.
I don’t doubt Glad will be on the front line. Because there was only one thing.
Then suddenly, Tyra’s gaze turned to the blonde knight behind Chersha.
According to the information she had briefly checked beforehand, it was clearly an article named ‘Ed’.
It was written that he was a knight who had just reached the highest level.
To entrust the escort of a 5th tier wizard to a knight of only the highest rank.
No matter how much time she can’t afford right now, Tyra, she felt like she should point this out.
“Shouldn’t we increase the number of escorts for Chersha?”
“An additional reliable knight will stand as Chersha-sama’s escort.”
Ashera opened her mouth as expected. She only nominally has one escort, but it seems like there are actually more.
“Then, my family will also apply.”
But Tyra opened her mouth as if to prepare for her case.
“I see.”
Asera answered indifferently, as if to say so, and looked at Harjan, the guild manager.
He gives a sharp look at Ryu, who asks why he hasn’t intervened so far.
Seeing that cold Asera, Harjan opened his heavy mouth as he organized his thoughts.
“An A-class reliable mercenary party will additionally support Glaad. Glead will never be under siege.”
I was looking for a gap because I was trying to adjust the number of families if there was an additional family that wanted to support Glaade, but it didn’t seem like there was anything special.
The discussions that ensued after that were mainly about small details and the organization of each family.
Everyone has a cold expression in preparation for being nervous or standing on the upcoming battlefield. There were no bright emotions or laughter in it.
That’s why it can be called the widest wall in the middle. The place where the demons will pour the most is the A-class mercenary party with the Glaad family, Chersha, and Ed.
The left part of the wall was occupied by Tyra Martina and her family, as well as most of the knight families in the north except for Glead.
It was decided that the mercenary guild manager Harjan and most of the mercenaries belonging to the mercenary guild would be in charge of the right side, along with the strength of the knights led by Tolish Birbalce.
If you organize it.
Center—-Glead, Chersha, Ed, A-class mercenary party.
Left—- Martina, most of the northern knight families.
Right ㅡ Most of the strength of Birbalche, Harjan, and Mercenary Guilds.
In this way, the discussion about what each person will be in charge of has come to an end.
After that.
Since there were quite a few families that were dealing with the Beast Corps led by Vitria, the Beast of Disaster, there were quite a few families, so Harjan, the guild manager, took the lead and started to explain the Beast Legion.
“A monster that corresponds to a high-end dangerous species called the monster of disaster. Some of you may be hearing the name Vitria for the first time, and others may have heard of it. However, its characteristics and the nature of the vicious witch beast are not well known, so I will explain it again using this opportunity.”
After talking for a while with a calm expression, Harjan takes a look around the interior and catches his eyes on the characters.
All of them are giants with huge influence in their own right. Even the names are not light one by one.
Asera Glade.
Tirra Martina.
Chersha Kalua.
Tolish Birbalce.
Those who lead their own families or have influence comparable to them.
There are other people whose family prestige is weak right now, but even those people were the main characters who would carry on their own family.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that even those gathered here were the strength of Glia.
“Because the appearance of the witch beast called Vitria is stained with blood, it will be difficult to identify even its shape if you see it for the first time. Its size is not so large as that of an adult, and with mana activated throughout its body, you have to be close to the demonic beast called Vitria at a distance of about 6m to distinguish its shape or movement.”
Ed, who had been listening to Harjan’s words, listened intently as if engraving all of them into his brain.
6M.
A hazy, bloody exterior.
It is difficult to determine the shape easily.
“If you can approach at a distance of about 6 meters, you will be able to recognize the thin film that covers the surface of the demon beast called Vitria, and that thin film itself is the unique property of the demon beast called Vitria. And in the guild, it is called “Wavelength of cognitive decline.”
And that meant always using mana for knights and mercenaries.
If it was a blurry bloody exterior, that in itself meant that it would be difficult to tell them apart on the battlefield.
Perhaps, in the blink of an eye, a witch named Vitria could exist nearby.
“…”
Ed’s concern grew even more as he watched her from behind Chersha.
