ARCHDEUS

ZUCK!(ATTACK!1)

Two hundred soldiers gathered in the mansion. They lined up neatly wearing full armor and weapons. Unlike the ordinary warriors, this was a group of the county's elite warriors consisting of 100 knights, 30 lancers, 30 marksmen, 15 reapers, 10 sabers, 15 wizards.  Currently, the county was experiencing sensitive times due to the assault on the count's mansion a few days ago.

The intruders are believed to have fled to Le Chant Forest. Le Chant Forest was once a wild forest. But since the City of Fertihall was built and experienced continuous development, Le Chant Forest shrinking and slowly surrounded by residential residents. Then when the city fortress was built, practically Le Chant Forest was inside.

This forest is never deforested because personally intergenerational counts are consistent to protect this forest. The reason is that this forest is perfect for training and hunting. So that this forest becomes a protected forest containing low and medium level magic beasts.

Because the intruders who fled into the Le Chant Forest were still inside the fort of Fertihall City then in real terms, it was, the soldiers conducted massive patrols throughout the city to conduct high-level surveillance and alertness. Not only that, there is a curfew to the community until the closure of the county border is also enforced.

These soldiers were assembled on one major mission - anti-Terrorism - put in place by the count. There has been a discussion between the count and some military officials, the soldier leadership will be directly in command of the second son of the count, Jared. But what they did not expect was the will of the first child who wanted to participate in this attack operation.

Clara is very worried about her son's safety especially since Alex has just gone through a critical period. Unfortunately, no matter how much Clara tries to calm Alex down, Alex will retain her thoughts.

Clara, who gave up trying to convince Alex, turns to Harol. But who would have thought, Harol even agreed to Alex's participation. Harol has the assumption that as his son of course Alex has the same nature as him. He thinks Alex wants to eradicate those who attack him with his own hands like a true warrior. Isn't that great, other than that Alex can gather real experience. Although Alex was seriously injured but the priests said that since this was only a physical wound and had been healed by a tier 6 spell then there was nothing to worry about.

EIGHTH!

The sound of horses echoed throughout the courtyard. The soldiers who had ridden their horses left after Count Harol had finished the inauguration of the operation.

Harol who saw the mounted soldiers who started running away from the courtyard of the mansion could only sigh. He was confident that with the gathering of all the elite soldiers of the county, the mission would end in success. From the report he got from Alen mentioned that the headquarters of the criminals were near the City of Fertiparte. If they went from Fertihall to Fertiparte by horse, it was likely that they would arrive within a day.

"Master Count."

A female servant came to Harol with an anxious face. Harol knew that this servant was one of Clara's servants. This made Harol very nervous about the news he was about to hear.

"What's wrong?"

Although Harol was still with his haughty face, but his heart was anxious.

"Master Count, Mrs Clara refused to eat. He said that he won't eat until Young Master Alex returns."

Harol's head finally relaxed a little. He was worried Clara would do worse. Thank goodness it's just a hunger strike but that doesn't mean it's a good thing. If Alex goes back too long, doesn't that mean Clara could starve to death? Now was not the time to be silent, at least he should be able to persuade Clara not to go on a hunger strike.

"Alright, alright. I'm going over there. Lead the way."

"Okay, my lord."

***

Alex decided to join the attack for just one thing. He doesn't believe Jared will prioritize Merry and Alpha's safety. Although Alex does not know whether the two children are still alive, but as long as the truth has not been revealed he better choose to assume that both are still alive.

Alex glanced behind him. Alex is currently riding a horse while piggybacking Ryana.

Ryana had no idea how to ride a horse, but he was not involved in the operation. Although the temple provided assistance by sending 10 priests and 40 paladins, if it were not for Alex wanting to join, he would not be able to join.

Ryana, Justin, and Rain are under Alex's command so de jure they are not among the forces under Jared's leadership. In addition, Alex was also entrusted to lead 20 of the 100 knights.

"T-no .. I'm fine Tu-Alex."

Ryana was still not used to calling Alex by name straight away. In addition, the distance of the two who were too close together made Ryana even more nervous. His heart is beating ever more. He sometimes had to pinch his own hand to prevent him from doing anything wrong to Alex. This is very dangerous, if there is a much more vulgar stimulus, he does not know if he can keep it.

"We will pass through the population area, maybe there will be flying dust or unpleasant smell, please survive."

"?"

Ryan was confused by Alex's words. Ryana has often been to the market and his house is in the middle of the city so he considers there is nothing bad from the city or the population center. Alex has a different understanding. As long as he is in a place that has many houses or markets, regardless of any city or even the royal capital, Alex discovers one disgusting fact. He realized that the poor public awareness of cleanliness makes no one aware that the environment they live in has a pessimistic smell and not infrequently smells bad.

Although Alex does not care about it but that does not mean he does not think about it. Sometimes he often sees many people who will urinate even on the side of the road. Although the main cause is the problem of hygiene education, but more than that it turns out the common people almost all do not have a toilet at home. So that not infrequently they will throw away in places such as alleys, courtyards, or even on the sidewalk.

A military march attended by 200 role soldiers and about 1,000 non-role soldiers filled the highway of Fertihall City. Although this is not a war, but seeing from the frequency of attacks on the mansion and spy reports stating that the enemy headquarters has a strong armed activity, he said, then it is much better to move in the quantity and quality of a qualified military. In addition to the troops from Fertihall, later troops from the city of Fertiparte will participate. Unfortunately since it was only a small town, then the troops that could be gathered were less than 200 people and were all non-role warriors.

Residents who saw flags and military marches rushed to give way. The street vendors and peddlers rushed to collect their goods so as not to be trampled by the horses.

"Woow!!"

"Cool!"

Children who see from the sidewalk or from the window of the house have eyes that sparkle in awe. Many of them play swords or cosplay like knights. Because the city center is very crowded and also as a form of pride, military marches run slowly. The knights puffed out their chests while still adjusting the speed of the horse.

Not a few young girls threw flowers along the way as if this was a procession of war with another country.

Jared who was in the front row puffed out his chest. As Liana expected, this was the perfect moment to make Jared stand out.  So he asked Harol to be able to give the command position of elite soldiers to Jared.

As for Alex, he was after Jared's direct line of command.  He only led 20 knights, but with his high visual appearance and wearing armor that reflected the sunlight there should be no doubting him. Unfortunately Alex's name has long been broken with trashy mentions so no one cheers in awe of him.

Alex didn't care much about it but the soldiers under his command didn't. For Ryana, Justin, and Rain this made them angry but most of the knights who were under Alex's leadership felt that this was a shame. For those who were knights, to be led by a pitiful figure like Alex was clearly an insult to the talent they had long honed.

Apart from that, there was no chaos interfering with the march to exit the city gate. After that, there were only empty and rocky roads. As this was a time-dependent mission, the horses were forced to run as fast as possible. Otherwise, with this sizable number of soldiers, there was a chance that the enemy spies were aware of their existence. Although the soldiers from Fertiparte have been sent to block the escape route of the enemies but they may have an unknown secret path.
