Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 320



Episode 320: Memory (5)

Rattling rattling.

There was a strange presence among adult men with solemn expressions on a 10-seater carriage that was shaking and moving quickly.

A 14-year-old girl staring into space with expressionless eyes.

At first glance her face was so calm that no one could tell that Amelia Lane Wales was nervous right now.

Except for her older sister Laura Lane Wales.

Sigh.

Amelia flinched maintaining her stiff posture with her hands on her knees.

It was because her sister’s hands were folded upwards.

“why? “Are you very worried?”

Amelia with her introverted nature nodded her head.

Not only was it meaningless to tell her lies to her older sister who knew her inside out just like her parents did…

She was sure her older sister would have noticed.

No matter how much she shakes on her carriage she realizes how much her own body is shaking right now.

“…It’s okay nothing bad will happen.”

As she felt her sister’s body heat against her skin Amelia felt her tension dissipate little by little.

Even though she was in a situation that was no different from being dragged into a battlefield.

Soon I closed my eyes and began to hear the conversation between adult men.

“What about the Iron Mask and Emily?”

“I heard that Seongju is sending someone to the dormitory but I don’t know if the communication will be properly communicated during this time.”

“I’m going crazy. If you were planning something like this please tell me in advance. “What is this in the middle of the night?”

“I guess that means it was top secret. “No way the lord of the castle joined hands with her royal family and struck down Orculis.”

The sisters were working at their adoptive father’s tavern like any other day when they were summoned by Felix Barker.

He seemed impatient but did not explain anything and told them to prepare to fight and as soon as they could pack up their equipment he put them in a military carriage with the clan members who had arrived.

“Wait a minute you’re hitting Orculis? I didn’t hear that? They’re just sending support because there’s a riot in the east… And you’re from the royal family? What kind of bullshit is that? “How can Seongju join hands with the royal family?”

“I heard the story and it turns out that the royal family had contact with Seongju some time ago. “I don’t know what was discussed there but… I don’t think an estimate will come out at this point.”

“Well even from the royal family’s point of view Orculis would have been a thorn in the side. “I guess we had the same interests as Seongju.”

“Otherwise why would the knights supported by the royal family be fighting Orculis?”

“…I guess that’s why the lord of the castle didn’t tell us until that day.”

“That’s right. They will be the core force anyway. “We just have to go and focus on surviving.”

“Ha if I had known this would happen I would have been sleeping outside the castle like Iron Mask but I ended up being dragged inside the castle for no reason.”

“Be careful what you say Durbon.”

“Ah… a slip of the tongue.”

“And you guys don’t complain too much. “Once this matter is resolved due to the nature of the castle lord I will be able to receive compensation properly.”

Clan leader Felik Barker calmed down the overheated atmosphere.

And how long has it been?

Soon the carriage ran for a while and stopped at the eastern entrance to Noark.

“I guess I’ll have to walk from here.”

The eastern part where several battles had already taken place was filled with the smell of blood right from the border.

The remains of collapsed buildings and tattered corpses.

There were sounds of things exploding here and there and human screams that were more desperate than those of the banshee were filled.

“What are you doing! How long are you going to block the road? Get down quickly! “Can’t you see more carriages coming behind you?”

Amelia followed them out.

My body which had calmed down during the journey was trembling again.

Her older sister warmly held her hand.

“Don’t worry too much. Because her older sister will definitely protect her….”

The words of a trustworthy older sister who has never once broken her promise.

Still she did not calm down easily.

No rather…

Wow.

The stronger her sister’s hand tightened around her the more ominous Amelia felt.

***

After finishing her recollection Amelia slowly opened her eyes.

It was clear where she needed to go.

The eastern part of Noark gradually became independent from the influence of the castle lord after Orculis made it its home base.

“Boo fire!!”

Nowadays people simply think that a fire broke out there but in reality a war is going on there.

And my past self…

‘He must be traveling east by carriage right now.’

It was a memory from 20 years ago and although she was unconscious at the time because it was her first time experiencing a large-scale battle Amelia vaguely remembered the way she moved during that time.

She wanted to forget because it wasn’t a memory she could forget.

It is no exaggeration to say that her life over the past 20 years has been one in which she looked back on this day countless times and ruminates with regret.

Tadat.

Amelia accelerated her steps and moved toward her destination.

She arrived in the eastern region after a long journey where hundreds of explorers who had been summoned that day by Seongju without knowing anything were encamped.

As she glanced around she soon found the person she was looking for.

“You were here.”

“Who…uh Emily?”

Soon Amelia approached and spoke to her and Felix Barker who was waiting for battle widened his eyes at her.

“How are you here?”

Although she was happy to see herself here she seemed a little suspicious.

“I went to the castle because there was a commotion and they sent me here. “I heard about the situation from others on the way.”

“Oh I see… But where is the iron mask?”

“I was drunk and was sleeping so I just left it there.”

“Hmm no matter what… I can’t believe you left behind such valuable military power…”

“Then what should I do? “She was so drunk that she couldn’t even come to her senses.”

Felix Barker only expressed regret at her words but did not find her content itself strange.

Whenever the barbarian was late it was because he often made the excuse that he had drank too much the night before.

“Well he probably didn’t know something like this would happen today. “Then you’d better assume he’s not coming.”

Afterwards Amelia stood by her younger self and her older sister. Then her sister awkwardly greeted her.

“hello….”

Unlike the barbarian who was ignored Amelia did not interact with these two other than necessary conversations for over several months.

Because for some reason I couldn’t speak when I stood in front of her.

But this time she forced herself to open her mouth.

“Stay together.”

“…yes?”

“Because that’s how I can protect you.”

“Oh yes…!”

Her sisters who were not close but knew of Amelia’s outstanding skills brightened their faces at her words.

She suddenly seemed like she didn’t know why she was being nice to her.

“Ready for battle!”

Anyway once her formation was established it wasn’t long before it was her group’s turn to go to the front lines.

Divided into dozens of groups each team took turns taking the front line and taking turns taking breaks…

There was nothing very dangerous right now.

That’s because the battle for the sweep is being carried out by the troops sent by the royal family and the castle lord’s elites who were informed of today’s plan in advance.

“They are trying to escape! “Kill it!”

The goal of the troops gathered here is not clearing but encirclement.

How strong will the remnants that escape the burning city be?

A one-sided massacre followed.

“It looks like the Lord of the castle has completely decided.”

“It looks like almost 70% are ordinary citizens. Is it really okay to kill them all like this?”

“Wow that’s stupid. You can’t distinguish them one by one. “What if an Orculis member gets away pretending to be a citizen?”

“That’s right….”

There were some who expressed skepticism about the one-sided battle but they were only a minority. They are all people who are good at killing people.

“Does anyone remember what the commander said earlier? How much was it for two?”

“I don’t really remember but at the current rate I think it would be better than going on an expedition at least once.”

“hey! Did you hear? Chaser! Don’t fight just listen! “If there’s anything you’re wearing that looks expensive take it off!”

Most people were delighted that they could earn a high income by doing easy work.

However the more Amelia said the more her expression hardened.

Although she was born in this city and grew up with these people this way of thinking still bothers her…

She knew at least one person.

This festive atmosphere is only temporary and hell will unfold soon.

“What is it someone over there walking alone?”

Even in the midst of all the noise someone’s muttering could be heard particularly loudly.

Amelia hurriedly turned her head.

“…Is this guy out of his mind?”

A man walking alone from the front caught her eye.

Considering that the numerous escape attempts that had been made so far began with at least a few hundred people it was an extremely alien scene.

however….

Trudging.

As the man got closer those watching felt a sense of discomfort.

Trudging.

A black military uniform drenched in blood.

It’s just wet but there isn’t a single scratch on the clothes.

If you look at the red blood it means you haven’t been lucky enough to have encountered anything on your way here.

Trudging.

What’s unusual is the sword worn at the waist.

As marauders who know the value of items like ghosts as the distance got closer everyone realized that the sword was no ordinary item.

The sword itself is very ordinary but…

The name of the man wearing that ordinary sword is very famous in this city.

“…Hey that’s not what I’m thinking right now is it? “Please tell me I saw something wrong.”

“….”

“Do you know anyone’s face?”

There was a stir among the waiting explorers.

Some people trusted his instincts and backed away from him while others were busy denying it saying it wasn’t right.

but.

Truly.

Soon when the man narrowed the distance to 50m.

Hehehe!

The flames spewed out by a fire-type expert were extinguished before they could reach the man and silence came for a moment.

Because it was a very famous ability.

“I don’t want to say anything….”

[Unspoken command].

The power of the Lord of Silence the ruler of the 5th floor.

This incomprehensible power that nullifies the fundamental abilities of explorers has been achieved by less than ten people in the long history…

As far as is known there is only one in modern times.

“You’re a traitor….”

A unique criminal with the nickname ‘Traitor’.

He is the one who created the group called Orculis with his own hands…

An undefeated swordsman who was once called ‘the swordsman’.

Ricardo Lüchenprague.

The man’s appearance caused confusion.

“Why is this man here….”

“The royal family! “He’s going to be fighting those guys sent by the royal family!”

The man did not answer any of their questions.

He just quietly raised his sword as if he was not interested.

“Run away too!”

From this point on the gathered explorers turned their backs and began to run away.

However the moment the man’s sword was swung.

Flash-!

A flash of light flashed for just a moment.

and….

Seogeogeukkeuk-!

Old memories that I had looked at countless times over the past 20 years began to reappear once again.
