The Wise Lord

Episode 16 – Hyunjil, Hyunjil. Hyeonjil Again!(2)

Ruben’s estate located in the Dark Forest.

A new military training center was established within it.

“That’s all!”

There was an untimely commotion there.

A place of training.

At the training center, under the leadership of Hans, young people were being trained.

“No!”

“I can do it!”

Hans shouted as he looked at the dying villagers.

“My sweat today is my blood tomorrow! Those who want to be killed by the Witchbeast can go over there and rest!”

“No! I can do it!”

“My sweat today is my blood tomorrow!

How much time had passed like that?

“good. Relax everyone!”

At Hans’s cry, all the villagers were scattered.

And how hard Hans’ training must have been.

“OMG···!”

“Lord, I think I’m going to die…!”

No one was standing still.

The people of Ruben who lived in the dark forest.

As well as basic skills, there are those who do not kneel anywhere in their stamina.

Those who were left behind in the first place did not survive until now.

That’s why I didn’t nod with some kind of training.

However, Hans’ training was different.

Should I say that I know how to manipulate people?

“I’d rather kill you…!”

“I can’t do it anymore… I can’t do it anymore…!”

A voice begging me to kill came out without my knowledge.

And Xian, who was watching that.

“how is it? Hans?”

Xian asked Hans.

Hans looked at the scattered people and slowly opened his mouth.

“To be honest… it’s amazing. Of course, since they used to live in the dark forest, they have excellent basic skills…”

Hans shook his head slightly and continued.

“Even taking that into account, the growth rate of the soldiers cannot be explained. Even the elite soldiers of the Ellandur family are not like this… What the hell is this training camp doing?”

Hans made an incomprehensible expression.

‘Good good. It’s worthwhile.’

Sian nodded his head in satisfaction.

It was because even to Xian, the skills of the young people who grew up through training were visible.

And the effect is none other than the effect of training center Lv.

– (Basic effect) Training efficiency +200%

– (Additional effect) “Oh, no?! I, a foolish recruit, am the best soldier here?!” Soldiers’ training efficiency is increased by an additional +100%!

– Only if you have a good instructor!

Only the basic effect was a whopping +200% efficiency.

Simply put, 1 hour of training is 1 hour + 2 hours.

It was a case where the effect of training for three hours appeared.

In terms of efficiency alone, it’s three times as much.

If the additional effect +100% is added to this, it becomes a whopping 4 hours of efficiency.

It was as if the growth was 4 times faster.

Of course, the additional effect was conditional on the presence of excellent instructors.

But that was enough for Hans to satisfy.

Hans is a man of skill comparable to the knights of Ellandur in the past.

Although he is now old, the experience and know-how the old man realized did not go anywhere.

Here, to the level of those who lived in the dark forest.

Solid basics and high-quality education.

Up to the right quality here.

The territories were literally growing to the level of the best elite soldiers!

‘If only I could do this…’

There was no problem at all with the witch bee.

Right then.

“I-I… my lord…”

I heard someone calling Xian.

the place you looked at.

There, a Young Ji-min was hesitantly approaching Xian.

A man who seems to have just become an adult.

Xian waited for the man to approach before slowly opening his mouth.

“What is going on?”

“That, that’s…”

The man could not open his mouth easily.

Xian waited silently for such a man.

The man showed signs of concern before opening his mouth.

“Why… do we have to undergo this kind of training…”

At the same time, the man bowed his head.

Xian looked at the man for a moment.

It seemed that his trembling body was aware of who he was talking to.

Sian slowly turned his head.

All the villagers were looking this way.

And though they were silent,

He seemed to agree with what the man just said.

Above all, the young people did not even know when the training center was established.

He was just called out of nowhere and was undergoing hellish training.

It’s an order from the lord, so I have no choice but to undergo training…

To be honest, I couldn’t help but wonder.

“Hmm…”

Xian was lost in thought for a moment.

And Hans, who was watching Xian.

‘young master···.’

Hans watched the draft silently.

Because of the past, the people of Ruben recognized Xian as their lord.

So, if it was Xian’s order, he showed an attitude of obedience.

Even if it is based on injustice.

But these were people.

People who think and judge for themselves.

There was a significant difference between submission and heartfelt obedience.

But now Xian’s attitude is…

right at that moment.

visor!

In an instant, Xian drew his sword.

Then he pointed his sword at the man ahead of him and asked.

“you. What is your name?”

“yes yes? Are you talking about me?”

The man who received Xian’s question began to panic.

It was also because Xian’s momentum was unusual.

Are you trying to kill me for disobeying orders…?

So why did you step out…

The people who watched it gulped and swallowed their saliva.

Then the man answered in a trembling voice.

“Du, duras… It’s called.”

“Yes, Durras.”

Xian nodded once.

Then he said

“Can you recognize what this sword is?”

Duras looked at the sword Xian was holding with a trembling gaze.

A shining white sword that seemed to cut through anything in the world.

The one who fought against Hobgoblin the other day.

who fought against the impossible.

therefore.

“This is the sword belonging to the lord who drove out hundreds of goblins.”

Douras lowered his head hurriedly, wondering if he would get the book.

“Did this sword drive away the goblins?”

“Yeah, that’s right…!”

People nodded their heads slightly at Durras’ answer.

That’s probably because he watched him fight against the Hobgoblin.

That’s why I watched all of Xian driving out the goblin army.

however.

“Then what did you guys do?”

Xian’s words that followed were unremarkable.

“What were you guys doing while I drove the goblins away with this sword?”

Xian looked at Duras and continued.

“Tell me. Duras, what were you doing then?”

“That, that’s…!”

Duras felt like his mind went blank.

Of course, at the time, Duras was risking his life to stop the horde of goblins.

While Xian fights the Hobgoblin,

The other goblins were still attacking the fence.

But I didn’t have the courage to say it.

At that moment, Xian strode towards Duras.

And then I grabbed his hand.

Just like that, Xian held an S-class sword with one hand.

He grabbed Durras with his other hand.

“I will ask again.”

and said

“What in my hand drove the goblins away?”

Xi’an’s expression was very calm.

S-class sword.

And the hands of Duras joined together.

It seems like there is a difference between the two.

“Who kept Ruben?”

Sian said.

“It is you guys who saved Ruben.”

not my sword

“You, who are Ruben’s swords, protected Ruben.”

“ah···.”

Duras let out an exclamation involuntarily.

Xian looked at Duras and slowly let go of his hand.

Then I looked at the people behind me.

People were looking at Xian with trembling eyes.

Xian looked into their eyes one by one.

“As you all know, Ruben has no future.”

A monster that strikes at any time.

Yeongji is not doing anything right.

Commander’s Territory, Ruben.

“In the life of running away like now, Ruben will only repeat the same life. Does anyone want such a life? If so, tell me now.”

There was no one to answer.

I just look at Xian with trembling eyes.

Because it was the first time…

The fact that I had something called a base.

Having a place to lie down after a hard day’s work.

have a place to return to

happy to survive this day,

However, it is not the same life as a beggar who worries about how to live tomorrow.

Now, just now…

Because it was the moment I was about to have such a dream.

Xian stood there quietly.

But people watching Xian were seeing something else.

Fighting Hobgoblin.

fighting the impossible.

‘Ruben is no longer running away!’

a certain lord.

“I couldn’t do anything on my own. It was only possible because of you guys.”

Xian slowly lowered his gaze.

A sword held in one hand.

It was shining like it would cut through anything.

A sword that is not lacking even if it is called a famous sword.

But Xian didn’t seem to think so at all.

“Duras, as you said, this sword is mine. However, this sword did not drive away the goblin army. I just killed Hobgoblin. It was you who drove out the goblin army.”

Xian continues.

“The strongest sword and shield in Ruben protected Ruben from the goblin army.”

Ruben’s strongest sword and shield.

Duras’s eyes trembled.

Kwap!

Before long, Duras’s fists were clenched.

Douras’ eyes blazed as he looked.

Duras, who had been questioning him, was gone.

keep

protect

where children can play.

A place where you can relax after a hard day’s work.

A loving family awaits.

our home.

In the heart of Durras,

In the hearts of the young people who watched the scene,

An unknown emotion was burning.

and.

Hans, who was watching the scene in the same way.

‘Didn’t you say that you are training soldiers to make them a beaver?’

Hans honestly wanted something like this.

But look at Xian now.

“Who are you guys!”

“We are Ruben’s sword!”

It was really… so shameless.

“·······”

Hans was absurd.

It didn’t look like this before.

But at what point did he change like this…

however.

food.

I don’t like that very much

I am drawn to it without even realizing it.

“Who are you guys!”

“We are Ruben’s shield!”

At that momentum, with some kind of expectation.

That moment.

“Lord! I found traces of the runaway goblin legion!”

Grayson’s cry came from outside the training camp.

Xian raised his sword and shouted.

“let’s go! Ruben’s swords! It’s time to make a beeline… no, the time has come to show our potential!”

“Waaa!!!”

An outburst of cheers.

Grayson’s expression went bewildered at that shout.

“Why, why are you doing that…?”

Grayson asked Hans,

“It is nothing.”

Hans only gave a small smile.

#

A dark forest adjacent to Ruben’s estate.

Between densely packed trees and thick grass.

“Keruk.”

“Kehreureuk.”

Hundreds of goblins had gathered.

No, the number almost reached 1,000.

The goblins gathered together and recalled the war with the humans in the past.

To be honest, the goblins had no reason to run away.

Humans were weak,

Because this side also had a numerical advantage.

The strangely strong wooden fence bothered me, but that was all.

It was this side that still had the upper hand.

But the human who took down the Hobgoblin.

Everything went wrong because of that one guy.

To be honest, defeating the Hobgoblin was amazing.

Hobgoblins, their variants.

Because I knew its strength better than anyone else.

That’s why I thought that human would never be able to defeat the Hobgoblin.

But Hobgoblin finally fell,

The goblins had no choice but to panic.

But there is also one fallen Hobgoblin.

One of the human beings I knocked down.

It did not interfere with the aspect of the war at all.

However, the goblins at the time couldn’t think that way.

The momentum of shouting while aiming a knife.

It stimulated a primal fear based on instinct.

He was obviously just a weak human being,

The momentum in it was not like that at all.

since when

A cave nestled in a dark forest.

And the creepy sense of intimidation I felt inside the cave.

It was quite similar to it.

At that time, I was crushed by it and ran away…

Not now.

“Keruk. Kerruk.”

“Kehreureuk.”

The goblins gathered their scattered kin.

In order to enjoy the party of slaughter that I couldn’t enjoy again.

A whopping 1,000 people gathered like that.

The goblins, who once again formed an army, gathered to fight the humans again.

“Kick Kick!”

“Kekekek!”

Time for a real dinner.

The goblins burst into joy at the joy of the soon-to-be devoured—.

“hey! Were you here!”

Suddenly a voice was heard.

A familiar voice somewhere.

“Kieek?”

“Keruk?”

The heads of the gathered goblins turned at once.

the place I looked at.

There was a human being standing there.

for a moment. human guy?

The goblins tilted their heads.

and look again.

Well, he was a fairly familiar human being.

“Is it nice to see you again?”

It was that human bastard!

“Kieeaek!!”

“Kerrr!!”

The goblins roared at Xian.

A deep murderous intent blooms.

why are you alone

How did they know that they were gathered here?

“These rubbish mobs that can’t fit even on the axis of a monster. If you’re short, you’ll still be short everywhere else, right?”

all right

Keyeee

Kyaheureugureuk!

If only I could tear that limb apart!

anger and hatred.

The madness rooted in that injustice cuts out the goblins’ reason.

OverDrive.

A hideous life blooms like a haze.

1,000 red lights flashed and covered the forest.

“uh···.”

Is that a bit harsh?

“Nothing.”

Xian slowly drew his sword.

“Kieek?”

“Keruk?”

Seeing Xian like that, the goblins were taken aback for a moment.

don’t you run away?

Are you alone?

I know that that human has the potential to stand against the Hobgoblin.

But at best alone.

On the other hand, his own people almost 1,000.

It was then.

I’m sorry!

In an instant, people came out in an orderly fashion from the thick grass.

They were fighting with their weapons in their hands.

Could it be that you want to fight now?

here?

“Kick.”

“Kekek.”

A sneer hung over the goblins’ lips.

Even if you fight with a wooden fence, you sold your hat, but you fight here?

That was a really stupid idea.

Weak humans who are nothing more than prey.

It was nothing more than to catch me.

“Kick.”

“Kiki kick.”

creepy laughter.

It was then.

Turbuck.

For an instant, Xian took a step forward.

Then he raises his sword and shouts.

“All bayonets!”

Chachak!

At the same time, people lined up in order and raised their weapons.

“I’m not backing down now!”

“We will protect Ruben!”

“We are Ruben’s sword!!”

glowing eyes.

The fighting spirit inside it boils.

yet.

“Kill the wicked goblins that threaten Ruben!”

with cyan cries.

aaa!!!!

A terrifying spirit erupted.

At that momentum, the goblin group hesitated for a moment.

But that’s for a while.

“Kerrr!”

“Kehrureuk!”

The goblins also bloomed.

In addition to numerical superiority, the force was also overwhelming.

Right now, that’s just full of bluff.

Just like when you defeated Hobgoblin.

don’t be fooled anymore

The only thing waiting is dinner time!

For sure···.

Stand-sigh!

I thought it would.

The first goblin to attack was split in half.

Xian’s appearance in between.

That was the beginning.

Kwajik!

Awesome!

The goblins that collided with the front lines began to fall like fallen leaves.

I couldn’t even resist and was being swept away.

Are you being swept away?

“Key, keyek…?”

The goblins began to panic greatly.

But that’s for a while.

He quickly came to his senses and burned his will to fight.

I don’t know what you did,

Whether in terms of numbers or power, the fact that they were still overwhelming was unchanged.

“Keeek!”

“Kerrruk!”

The goblins ran rampant across the battlefield.

however.

“Don’t break the ranks!”

“Remember what you trained for!”

did not break through

no matter how much you use it

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t break the ranks.

More than anything.

Empty! Kwajik!

Awesome!

Xian and Hans run amok at the forefront.

I couldn’t stop the two of them.

Among them, especially Xi’an.

what the heck is going on

Empty!

Not even a single attack worked on Xian!

Stand-sigh!

different.

They are not the people they knew.

They weren’t the humans he considered mere prey.

“Kie, kieek…!”

“Ke, Kereuk…!”

The goblins couldn’t understand how the situation was going.

Right then.

“good! It’s a mood! Whoever catches 10 or more goblins will be given a one-day training exemption!”

Xian shouted loudly.

pop.

At the same time, the movement of humans stopped.

Movement stopped, as if time had stopped.

“Hu, training exemption…?”

“U-is that for real…?”

warble.

“of course! Instead, you have to catch 10 or more! 9 of them are cut without any hesitation!”

At Xian’s words that followed, people grabbed their swords.

To be honest…

It’s Ruben’s sword, and it’s Nabal.

Because training was hard!

“Move! Don’t interfere and get out of the way!!”

“I’m going to catch that guy!! I liked it!”

“aaa!!!”

OverDrive.

People went crazy and started running amok!

Only then did the goblins realize.

This… This wasn’t hunting.

It wasn’t even dinner time.

Kwajik!

It was they themselves who were being hunted.

The absolute rule that applies to the forest of darkness, the rule of thumb.

But the weak were not always the weak,

The strong were not always the strong.

from predator to prey.

And from prey to predator.

Humans…

They were no longer their prey.

“Kie, kieek…!”

“Kerreuk…!”

The fear of death creeps up.

Fear rooted in instinct.

“Ugh! Those bastards are jumping!”

“What are you doing! Go grab it!!”

An untimely chase was held in the dark forest.

#

Cheer la la rock.

Gold coins piled up on the floor.

The bag of money became slim only after shaking it off for a while.

“see···.”

Xian checked the amount of money accumulated on the floor.

The confirmed amount was…

“10,000 gold… I guess.”

A total of 10,000 gold.

To be exact, there were 10,000 gold and a few more gold, but the small things were excluded.

“also!”

With this beeline… no.

The profit earned from this transaction could be said to be 10,000 gold.

“Isn’t it really amazing?”

Xian let out an evil laugh and put the gold back into his pocket.

Of course, it wasn’t easy money.

At the Soldier Training Center Lv.1, which exhibits a whopping +300% efficiency, the territories were rolled like crazy,

He hunted goblins together with the venom-filled territories.

In a word, it was the result obtained at the end of countless beatings.

“at las···!”

Xian immediately took out his smartphone.
