.............................

Although the demons have been restrained for some reason over the years, the number of conflicts between humans and demons has reached the lowest point in history in the past few decades.

This should be good news for the world, but it has also caused the kings of various countries to have their minds on other countries.

.... Although they still fight non-stop even when fighting with the demons, without the interference of the demons, the impulse is naturally much greater than usual.

At this time, the nobles in the border area naturally have to take on the responsibility of being the vanguard... or in other words, no matter when and no matter what race the target is, as long as there is a conflict, they are the vanguard.

Wars between human countries are really common, so Olden naturally has no psychological entanglement.

Thirteen years ago, when he received the order, he led his troops directly to the border of the Kingdom of Ester, the Kager Pass.

Originally, several countries had already reached an agreement. In order to prevent the Kingdom of Ester from annexing them, they were prepared to take the initiative and attack the Kingdom of Ester in groups once a war broke out.

His responsibility was just to create some minor friction and tie down part of the enemy's main force, but...

The development of the matter was far beyond his expectations. The Kingdom of Ester directly regarded the area outside the Kagel Pass and the area within a radius of ten kilometers as a buffer zone, and prohibited the approach of armed forces.

"——This is simply too much!"

Olden looked at the document sent to the table, which seemed to order them to leave. Even though he originally intended to preemptively attack the other party, he couldn't help but slam the table in anger because of the arrogant attitude.

So he simply ordered the entire army to enter the buffer zone unilaterally designated by the Kingdom of Ester.

Of course, the preparations for the siege were not ready yet... because he didn't intend to bear the losses of the siege, otherwise his family would probably lose the elite here, and when he returned to the kingdom, other nobles would take advantage of the situation and even directly annex it.

And the army's pressure could show their strength and their strong response attitude, but...the development of the matter was far beyond his expectations.

In the dead of night, the gate of the enemy's pass suddenly opened from the inside, and then a large group of knights, soldiers, a group of monsters and several dragons swarmed out.

The soldiers led by Frisch were not ready for battle in the chaos, and the combination of the leading cavalry and those monsters had already torn their defense line.

As one of the three knights, Olden naturally woke up from his sleep and quickly rushed to the forefront and blocked a rock dragon that was slaughtering his men wantonly.

Relying on his unrivaled combat power, he took the charge of the dragon, and even under the cover of his confidants, he was about to kill it in the chaos, but...

"——?!"

The warning from instinct made him withdraw his hand and jump back in the flash of lightning when he was about to take the dragon's life.

The next moment.....

The white light suddenly tore through the air, and the reverse cassock slash with a fierce killing intent was like the sickle of the god of death, whizzing past his cheek, splashing thick blood and leaving a shocking blood mark.

His right eye unfortunately became the victim of this swift attack, bloody and shocking.

But at this moment of life and death, if he had not reacted quickly, he would have been beheaded.

In the interweaving of severe pain and horror, he was shocked to find that the one who almost gave him a fatal blow was actually a seemingly immature boy.

".... I sneaked up on him, but he was able to avoid it. He is surprisingly powerful."

Ash, who didn't want to attack, but didn't want to lose this dragon, looked at the young man who jumped away with his face covered and sighed casually, but didn't intend to do anything else. At most, he had a faint regret for losing his prey.

And his attitude also made Alden clearly feel that he was completely different from his appearance age... indifference to life.

"Asshole!!"

"Kill him!!"

Alden had no time to stop him, as dozens of his knights had already swarmed over.

However, these knights who were brave and fearless on the battlefield were unexpectedly as fragile as ants in front of Ash.

Ash didn't even look at the knights, but his movements were smooth and precise, as if he wanted to laugh at the knights' futile courage. Every swing of the sword was casual but contained an endless breath of death.

The blade drew silver tracks in the air, piercing and tearing, turning the knights into lifeless debris one by one.

It should have been a battlefield where lives were gambled, but what was staged in front of him was a one-sided massacre, cruel and efficient, and chilling.

The air around him seemed to solidify, and only the sound of the blade cutting flesh and the occasional wailing formed a hellish scene for Alden.

Olden was dragged away by his followers, his eyes full of humiliation, but he could only watch this bloody feast, his heart filled with powerlessness and shock that could not be concealed.

It was this attack that turned the passive into the active, which could be said to be a display of force. The warlike Frisch had no room for resistance and was killed without armor, which shocked the other countries and made them temporarily suppress the impulse of preemptive strike.

Although there were still frictions between the other countries and the Kingdom of Ester, there was no large-scale war, and they spent another thirteen years in delicate peace.

.............................

Even after more than ten years, Alden, who had someone draw Ash's portrait, still can't forget the humiliation of that day's defeat.

The heart-stopping killing feast and the strength shown by Ash made him breathtaking... Even though the word "breathtaking" is really not suitable for that tragic scene, he still thinks of it from time to time to this day. The boy who took away one of his eyes and ended his career as a warrior.

And whether it was luck or misfortune, he actually saw him again when he was out with his eldest son. That boy had not changed even after more than ten years.

Although it was unbelievable that there had been no change for so many years, the sense of crisis brought by his intuition as a warrior made him clearly feel that this was the boy he encountered the last time he went to the battlefield.

"...To you, maybe I'm just a guy you can easily fight off." Alden stared at him and said slowly: "But at that time, I avoided the fatal blow and succeeded. You seem a little surprised, right? But you just let me go as a nobody."

"Ah... I remembered what you said, but don't say it so harshly. I just don't think it's necessary to cause more killings."

It was only when the other party explained the time, location, and events clearly that Ya Xiu suddenly remembered what happened thirteen years ago.

He did go to observe the battlefield in person at that time, because it was the first test of using controlled dragons in border friction.

However, when he was protecting the dragon, he sneak attacked the opponent but failed to kill the enemy with one blow... This was indeed surprising to him at that time.

But at that time, he was concerned about his own dragon, so he didn't intend to waste time on others. Instead, the knights rushed forward one after another, which made him feel a little depressed.

But Ash's seemingly kind statement made Alden grit his teeth and angrily said, "...Don't you want to cause more killings? At that time, you can...!"

"——I was just shooting down the sparks that accidentally splashed on me." Understanding what he wanted to say about those knights, Ash naturally interrupted quickly in front of his companions: "After all, I didn't take the initiative to attack. , it was purely that they were attacking me and I was forced to take self-defense; after all, it was a battlefield, how could you expect the enemy to do nothing?"

"...Indeed." Perhaps it was just a simple test. After he finished these words, Alden breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily gave up seeking revenge and pulled his son, without looking back. to the carriage:

"It really lacks chivalry to resolve grievances on the battlefield outside the battlefield - leave Frisch quickly before I change my mind."

"Normally at this time, shouldn't it be time to let go of the past and shake hands to make peace? After all, we are not on the battlefield."

Compared to Alden and his son, who had always maintained a sense of tension, Ash seemed very indifferent. In the end, he just replied lightly, and then watched Alden and his group snoring... who didn't want to pay attention to him. He took the carriage and hurriedly and slowly returned to the city.

After Alden disappeared, Ash's troubles did not disappear - at least the three people behind him looked at him very strangely.

The Buried Fulian·The journey officially begins: Chapter 17 The old man forgotten in time·Is he trying to show his claws to the world? (9K)

As nobles in the Middle Ages, they were basically very concerned about their social status and dignity. It is precisely for this reason that even in the relatively peaceful central countries, if civilians are rude to nobles, it is a capital offense.

Most of these border nobles rely on force to prove themselves, and naturally they generally attach great importance to honor. In order to maintain family honor, many border fighting nobles may choose to sacrifice their lives to maintain their reputation.

Unfortunately, his son was nearby. Although Alden was ready for revenge, he still backed down in the end.

There was no way, even though Ash looked like he was retiring to become an adventurer at first.

But his subsequent behavior was completely unlike that of an adventurer. There was no respect for the nobility at all, and there was no possibility that the adventurer could be caught without mercy.

In this case, even if three people go together, it is difficult for him to be sure that he can defeat the opponent. On the contrary, if he is not careful, the family territory may be invaded or even occupied by the enemy - because Ash's performance is not what an adventurer should do. , seems to be still serving as a high-level official in the enemy country.

But Alden endured the humiliation and retreated, but Ash felt a little baffled... He said a lot of words and then stopped fighting.

Although it might be better not to fight, after all, the child is still nearby, and he doesn't really want to kill someone in front of the child.

But even if he had taken the initiative to leave the troubles that might stain his reputation, Ya Xiu still turned his back to everyone and was worrying about himself.

Because the three people behind him looked at him in different ways at this moment.

Especially Feilun... When the carriage disappeared, she patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, but then she pursed her lips and stared at him:

"Master Ash...what else are you hiding from us?"

"Hmm~ I feel like I've heard this sentence many times?" Ash looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle: "It seems like I've answered it many times?"

"——Because every time you suddenly reveal something that I've never heard of! And it's something very incredible!" Philen was really worried. If this continued, his heart would not be able to bear his various secrets.

Ash, who spread his hands helplessly, now looked particularly innocent: "I didn't deliberately hide it, but you never asked these questions, right?"

"Have you ever been in the army?"

"Yes, and I went to the battlefield and accidentally left a scar on someone."

He looked unreserved and frankly said that according to the situation at the scene, it was estimated that he could not hide the past, which made Philen speechless for a moment about whether this behavior was evasive.

Zain still looked dumbfounded: "....You actually joined the army, and even took action against such a big shot? And it seems that there are other grudges? Are you really not afraid of being attacked? You actually dare to run to someone else's territory???"

"Let's leave here quickly, I don't want to be chased by the army." Fulilian didn't know how to say this, just shook her head and sighed, and walked ahead, just wanting to avoid possible troubles.

As for finding out what Ash has done over the years, you can leave this area a little bit, and if you don't leave quickly, there may be many murders later.

Of course, the worry here is that the other party is unwilling to give up and send a large number of people to besiege... If Ash is really angry, the city fortress next to it will be demolished.

Because she doesn't think that the city fortress can stop the guy who she may not be able to defeat even if she only talks about magic.

As for the killing on the battlefield....even if she is not so stubborn as to blame the soldiers for their behavior on the battlefield, she just wants to save the lives in front of her.

.............................

.............................

The group hurried and left the fortress city of Frisch, and then stopped to rest temporarily.

Everyone came to the river to rest temporarily, and Fulilian couldn't help but attack:

"Ash, tell me the truth! What have you done all these years?"

"You said you were going to build an apple orchard! But now it's turned into... Are you a general again?" Philen felt that he must be hiding something from her.

Zain recalled the look in the eyes of the nobleman and shook his shoulders: "——What did you do! I thought I was going to be chopped off!"

"Wait a minute, you all asked me to answer so many questions, which one should I answer? And Zain... this is not my problem, right? And to be honest, your behavior shocked me a little."

Thinking of the monk who put the gloves on Fulilian's feet, Ash couldn't help but admire: "... You are definitely the most unrestrained person I have ever seen."

"... You are the most reckless person I have ever seen." Fulilian couldn't help but interrupt the conversation:

"The people of the Frisch family are generally arrogant and unreasonable. You obviously have a grudge against them, but why are you still walking here?"

"This is not my problem, right? I didn't know I had a grudge against them?"

"... Uh, it seems so?"

His retort as a matter of course made Fulilian hold her forehead.

Because he just remembered that he had a little past with the other party... But in a sense, this made her want to complain even more. She suppressed the urge and asked:

"Anyway... who did you have a grudge against? Can you tell me all at once?"

"I want to tell you, but the actual situation... how do you want me to tell you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Think about it yourself, do you remember how much bread you have eaten?"

His rebuttal was a matter of course, leaving Fulilian speechless for a moment.

Zain couldn't help but wipe his sweat and interrupted, "...Wait a minute, I can't understand it at all! Is this really a problem?"

"Then let me put it another way? Can you remember how many times you lost money?"

"...It seems that I can understand it, but I remember how many times I won!"

"Very good, go play, and remember not to gamble next time."

Ash nodded, then pressed Zain's shoulder and pushed him gently, pushing him to the river, causing him to stagger down the hillside, almost rolling into the river.

The troublesome guy, for the time being, was solved.

But...the two girls' fixed gazes made him silently raise his hands and surrender:

"Do you want to ask Philen the question just now? I will say that I just met a few high-level officials of the Kingdom of Ester, and occasionally helped a little. I didn't become a general or anything. At most, I occasionally got involved in some things."
