A Border Rely was a nobleman whose territory bordered one other nation, granted each land rights and army authority.

The Empire had huge lands however was additionally tormented by monsters. In Heroes Chronicle, Border Counts confronted the wilderness somewhat than different nations. Roland’s household grew to become Border Counts as gatekeepers towards monsters pouring in from the continent’s uncharted areas.

In different phrases, an imperial Border Rely was like a mass-produced northern archduke on the entrance traces keeping off monsters.

‘…Not that revealing hidden pasts issues now.’

In fact, this story meant nothing to me.

I knew nothing in regards to the Empire apart from Lombardo and the Grand Temple, so what was the purpose of all of a sudden speaking about my deceased father?

Feeling uncomfortable, I remained silent. The outdated nun, pondering I used to be misplaced in thought, continued her clarification slowly.

“Your father, the Border Rely of Bretagne, was a really chivalrous man.”

Chivalrous within the good sense, after all. A person who served the Emperor however did not deny the temple’s authority, who took up the sword to guard the weak from hordes of monsters, who cherished the Empire and refused to retreat from the enemy.

The Border Rely of Bretagne, like a righteous warrior going through evil, died when younger Roland left his area to take part in Lombardo’s swordsmanship match. The rationale? The greed and selfishness of neighboring lords combined with lax attitudes. They did not ship well timed assist to Bretagne because it held again waves of monsters.

“They had been actually impious. To dare commit treason over petty selfishness within the face of the Empire’s enemies.”

‘F*ck, I believe I’ve seen this in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It is like incompetent commanders reducing off allied provides.’

Younger genius knight Roland, blessed with a strong physique and noteworthy swordsmanship for his age, and delightful options inherited from his mother and father.

So when Roland, drunk on the consideration of being Lombardo’s champion after successful the match, obtained the horrible information. His father died remoted whereas going through a monster wave, and his mom dedicated suicide by poison simply earlier than monsters burst in as she evacuated the area’s folks.

In fact, regardless that the Empire had begun to rot, it wasn’t fully decayed. Different Border Counts who heard this information had been so enraged they almost drew swords on the temple and imperial courtroom in protest.

The imperial courtroom, livid at this clear act of treason, dispatched investigators. Males in black robes from the Grand Temple silently set out on pilgrimages at evening. The nobles who tried to save lots of assets as soon as and opened the Empire’s borders to a monster wave had been dragged to dim basements, by no means to see gentle once more, however…

Roland, the ill-fated protagonist who headed from Lombardo to the County of Bretagne, by no means confirmed his face within the Empire once more.

“Nonetheless, the truth that you have come this far means you have sorted out your emotions to some extent…”

‘No, I simply awakened on an Empire-bound carriage.’

You may inform simply by trying on the format of the Kingdom and Empire.

The Empire was northeast of the Kingdom, and the Empire blocked monster waves as you went additional north. The Empire was above the Kingdom, monster waves had been above the Empire, and people monsters stored coming down.

“Sh*t, if we screw up, tower crap may circulate down and destroy the mid tower too!”

-3-man celebration, lacking teammate, enemy grabbing each buffs, bullets flying, ugh why am I the one one and not using a teammate

-Nicely, monsters coming down from north to south will not simply cease on the Empire lolol They will attain the Kingdom too

-Monsters invading from the north? These BB Video games bastards want their ideology checked for actual

-It is a continent above and a kingdom under, so a southern invasion? That is completely China and North…

Han Se-ah’s cry, as a gamer who’d performed varied video games, succinctly summarized the continent’s scenario for gamers to know.

Getting comfortably stronger down under, then getting caught up in sh*t flowing over from above, having your livelihood destroyed and tasting bitter defeat – it was all too acquainted for Korean players.

In fact, this did not simply occur within the rift(league). As with all crew video games, when one teammate could not pull their weight and have become simply useless weight, the remaining suffered.

Within the now-folkgame area warfare simulation, if allies did silly sh*t and died, you began with 200 vs 400 inhabitants. In FPS video games, if a teammate was a legal responsibility, I immediately grew to become Swiss cheese caught in crossfire.

Even past video games, within the conventional Okay-university tradition of group initiatives, you noticed the identical sample. So viewers’ apprehensive teasing naturally turned to Han Se-ah.

“…However what swordsmanship, f*ck.”

Han Se-ah getting teased in change for a fats pockets was nothing new, so it wasn’t actually a problem. With so many viewers, even with a 10-minute delay on chat and minimal donations raised from 1,000 gained punches to 10,000 gained punches, if simply 1% of 100,000 real-time viewers threw a remark, that was nonetheless a thousand folks.

The issue was the sudden flood of consideration on me.

Of all issues, I needed to have a swordsmanship match winner title up to now, goddammit.

-Why’s a genius swordsman from a famend household carrying a hammer?

-So the place’s the hidden fiancée? When’s the catfight beginning, similar to a canine… no, cat?

-Should not have referred to as Katie a zoomer, she copied her mentor’s habits precisely, now it is a true trainer

-So what occurred to the area? Surrounding nobles all died too, so it should be large, did the Empire swallow it?

From baseless expectations of exhibiting unimaginable swordsmanship expertise if he fought significantly since he was chosen by the holy sword, to lewd expectations of getting messed round with tons of feminine characters in Lombardo as a lot as he performed round with the Kingdom’s girls.

On Earth, the one blades I might touched in my life had been kitchen knives and toy picket swords from faculty journey memento outlets. Within the Kingdom, I lived a blunt weapon life with a warhammer as my principal weapon and maces as sub-weapons.

Anticipating genius swordsmanship expertise from somebody like that? It may be simpler to hunt bosses barehanded.
