Chapter 150 - 149 – I Ended Up Drawing Too Much Attention.
Walking for a few more minutes, I managed to reach the border between the countries. In the distance, I could already see the lights of Beastled's army. If I had to calculate, maybe they're a kilometer away from the border.
The distance between Baestled's army and Southlein was at most 3 kilometers, aren't they too close? I don't understand about wars, but I don't think that's how it should be done.
'Maybe they're just caring the border so that neither army invades each other's territory?' No, they're here for it.
But I think they should prepare better and already maintain some kind of formation in case a surprise attack occurs. As I approached Southlein's army, I noticed that everyone was very relaxed.
The people in this world besides being weak don't know how war works or how to plan it? That might be the case.
'Fine, but now I'm going to forget about it and move on.' I hope they aren't planning a surprise attack tonight, I don't want to get involved in a confrontation between the two countries.
Even if what I do here ends up making the Beastled army angry, I hope I don't participate in a confrontation between the two countries. In case things get complicated, I will leave here immediately.
The border between the two countries didn't have a wall or any kind of protection, so it was free for anyone to cross. But of course, it was strictly forbidden for anyone to cross another country's border without passing through border control.
So even if it didn't have any protection, if you entered a country illegally, you would get caught as you need an ID.
Well, the border control right now is closed so no one can leave their countries or come back.
If you are an adventurer you can easily cross the border, but it also needs to be through border control.
But now that you know this, you are aware of why borders do not have a guard to prevent an invasion. So by taking a few steps, I could easily cross the border.
"Hmm?" As soon as I crossed the border, a cold wind hit me making my body shiver. The fog was blown away by the wind so it revealed a large field equally green, but much prettier than what I had been through before.
There were also flowers and more flowers around here.
'Their country has beautiful fields, doesn't it?' Just by leaving Southlein and taking a few steps, I was able to tell the difference.
Walking through that green grass, I started to notice some soldiers in the distance around a fire. They all had animal ears and tails and wore old and worn armor.
Their bodies shivered from the cold and they were thin.
"Urg, are these soldiers okay?" I wrinkled my forehead as I stared at that scene. Not just them, but I continued walking about 200 meters of the army as I watched them.
I was in the middle of the dark field and there was no lighting around me, just the dim moonlight that lit up around here. But the fog that had returned would not let me be seen.
But for some reason, I could see some of the soldiers very well. Of course, only the closest ones, the ones farthest I couldn't see.
In the distance, I could only see fires and tents dotted around his camp.
"But that's not my goal, let's go ahead and look for these monsters." I wasn't sure the monsters were here, maybe they were on the other side of the army.
Even if they aren't here, next time I'll go to the other side. Maybe tomorrow? I can't go there today, it probably won't be that long before dawn starts. I also feel my body starting to get tired already.
Taking long strides while ignoring the Beastled army, I came to a rise, it was a hill that I climbed with a little difficulty, but I managed to get up there.
As soon as I reached the top of the hill I looked back.
In addition to the great curtain of fog that was now decreasing, I could also see the lights of the two armies and their extension, it was huge.
"I don't want to get into a battle between these two armies," I said as I sighed and then turned to look straight ahead.
On the other side of the hill, it was very dark, but I could see some of the monsters walking around. For a moment I thought the number of monsters here outnumbered Southlein's soldiers.
I looked at that scene and wiped the sweat from my forehead.
"Dude, that's a lot." I put my hands on my hips and looked down towards that great army of monsters. Even though it's dark, I could see some goblins carrying torches.
Large Orcs and Ogres that could be identified by the sparkle in their eyes, as well as other monsters I had never faced before.
Some kind of horse with a completely black body, a monster that had a "helmet" that looked stiff on top of its body.
Some little men could be mistaken for goblins. If they didn't have little horns on their heads and a long tail that kept wagging I could tell they were goblins.
But these were only the closest monsters that the moon could illuminate. Behind those monsters, I could see thousands of shadows.
"Is it a good idea to attack here? I don't want to end up drawing the wrath of so many monsters towards me... Hahaha."
I thought their number would be a little smaller. My mana and my stamina are not enough to fight these things.
"Haaa~~ Whatever, I just need to kill as much as I can." A lot of mana started to circulate in my body which started to lighten up.
The fog around me began to fade as the atmosphere got warmer and the grass at my feet began to burn.
Before long, orange, yellow, and red particles began to gather in my palm. A lot of them were being created and a huge ball of fire was appearing in my hand.
This was a slightly less powerful version of the one I used to destroy that building under the church.
"Alright, let's go." I raised my hand and prepared to throw the fireball towards the army of monsters that could now be partially seen because of the glare caused by my magic.
But suddenly.
Puff~~
The ambient lighting disappeared.
"Hm? What?" I looked at my hand again and noticed that my magic and the mana I had used had completely disappeared.
Feeling my body go cold and start to shiver, a large amount of cold sweat broke out on my forehead. It was the feeling of death, it was something I hadn't felt in a long time.
Hearing a few steps behind me, I didn't have the heart to turn around to face whoever it was. I knew this person was dangerous and could kill me if he wanted to.
I just kept silent and didn't say anything just tried to turn around slowly to look at that person who approached. But before I could do anything, a voice called to me.
"What do you think you are doing?" It was a powerful voice and it made my entire body tremble. When I heard his voice, I didn't want to look back, but I struggled to turn around slowly.
My hands were cooler and my breathing was ragged.
"Urrg~~" Before I could turn to look at the voice, I got a big impact on my back that made me lose the ability to speak. I flew behind the hill towards the monster army.
As I fell towards the monster army, I looked up at the top of the hill and noticed only a large armor standing there as it looked at me. The moonlight illuminated his body, making his powerful presence very evident.
I tried to see his Status, but the distance was too far.
"I ended up drawing too much attention, DAMN!" As I pulled the sword from my waistband still in midair, I swiveled my body to look directly at the army that was close to swallowing me.
"HAAAAAAAA~~" With a shrill scream and a swing of my sword, a large amount of water was thrown down like a huge blade that stretched meters away forward.
My magic cut monsters that were up to 20 meters away from where my attack took place. And then I fell to the ground, still having trouble breathing.
Dropping to the ground and looking straight ahead, I noticed a large path that had been made with just a flick of my blade. But that path was soon occupied by another great wave of monsters.
