Why Are You Obsessed With Your Fake Wife? - Chapter 69.2

“Glenn, if you have anything to worry about, you must tell me instead of stressing yourself. If the two of us put our heads together and think about it, a solution may come out.”

“…Thank you for your concern, but I have nothing to discuss with you. You don’t have to worry about it.”

“I’m glad to hear that…. Oh, what I was going to say just now is, please treat me as before.”

“My attitude shouldn’t change?”

“Yes. You’ve been good at avoiding me. If you keep avoiding me, it’s only a matter of time before others get suspicious! So please treat me as usual. You don’t have to be embarrassed. No one would have no idea.”

“…….”

Glenn didn’t respond for a long time.

Just before Nadia urged an answer, Glenn started to talk.

“…I’ll try.”

“It’s a must!”

Glenn answered hesitantly, but Nadia got a definite answer anyway.

Nadia, who finished her business, turned her head slightly and said.

“Then you should go back now. If you stay away too long, everyone will be worried.”

“I will.”

“Then I’ll see you later.”

Glenn had to return to the front of the procession, while Nadia returned to her original position in the center of the procession.

But when she took a few steps ahead,

“Sigh…”

The loud sigh forced Nadia to look back reflexively.

Glenn was looking up at the sky, stopping at the spot where she had talked to him.

Nadia couldn’t see his expression because his back was on her, but she could guess just from his back.

‘I can’t keep asking what’s going on…’

Since Glenn said nothing happened, it would be rude to push the matter.

Eventually Nadia had to go back to her original position.

Originally, monsters did not live on the land where humans lived.

In the far east, Halstad, the land of the devils, and the frozen land north of the Northern border were the home of the monsters.

The monsters there jumped a long distance through a gate that often opened, which was called the Monster Wave.

No cause or solution was known. Some said it was a natural phenomenon with no way to prevent it.

What was important, however, was that the location of the gate tended to skew to the north.

In the north, and in places where there were fewer people, gates were often opened. Of course, the reason was not clear.

If there was no way to prevent it in advance, they had no choice but to respond quickly.

Their mission now was not to find out the cause of the monster wave, but to subdue the group of monsters in front of them.

Glenn’s gaze calmly turned to the front. Monsters lined up disgustingly dense were ready for battle.

Growl

Shriek

The cries of monsters filled the bottom of the mountain.

It was such a creepy sound that ordinary people would get numb just by listening to it.

Glenn, who was looking around at the enemies, opened his mouth.

“Are the surrounding villagers safe?”

“Most of them have been evacuated. But the first two villages that were attacked…”

The knight couldn’t continue his speech until the end and shook his head with a mournful expression.

“Tsk.”

There was no way that a small village could stop a monster wave of that size.

Glenn turned his head again.

First of all, the enemy front line was more like holding a wooden board shield, but they were medium-sized monsters lined up in a row.

‘No matter how well trained cavalrymen are, I don’t want to take the risk of charging a shield soldier who is forming a defense.’

Above all, today was the first time testing the power of a new cavalry unit.

It would be right to start with easier prey.

At last, Glenn made a decision.

“The mounted archery unit detours the facade and aims at their flank.”

“My lord, the medium sized monsters above have thick skin. It will be hard to do much damage with an arrow.”

“I know. But it will have the effect of disrupting their battle line. Keep attacking while maintaining a certain distance. As soon as the enemy’s defense becomes loose, the heavy cavalry charges.”

At Glenn’s command, the mounted archery unit began to move.

When the punitive force charged first, movement occurred on the other side as well. The enemies progressed slowly with shield defenses at the forefront.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The ground shook as hundreds of monsters moved in unison.

Their instinct seemed to have heightened further by the idea that an appetizing prey was ahead of them.

Shriek!

But contrary to their expectations of a collision, the human army diverted to the right.

Rather, they even took out their weapon with the distance still wide open.

Twang!

Shriek!

Arrows from afar fled over the head of the monsters.

Some were lodged in shields, some on the ground, and the rest on the monsters’ skin.

Shriek! Shriek!

Although the monsters were not fatally injured, it didn’t mean they did not feel the pain of skin and muscle tearing.

The pain and the smell of blood made them more agitated.

Shriek!

Shriek!

Excited monsters started chasing their human enemy recklessly, regardless of whether they were battle lines or not. Giscard, who was looking at the situation, said.

“They are chasing the archery unit.”

“As expected.”

If the monsters had an intelligent commander, they would have noticed that this was a trap.

However, Glenn, who followed his father to the monster subjugation from an early age, knew that their intelligence was significantly lower than that of humans.

Unless there was a high-ranking devil who controlled monsters, they are nothing but a big mess.

Unsurprisingly, the monsters, excited by the smell of blood, were recklessly catching up with the attacking army of archers.

Some monsters ran at speeds comparable to those of war horses, but the knights, who became more free to move with their stirrups, did not allow them to catch up easily.

Since each monster type had a different running speed, the battle line had been disturbed since the beginning.

Glenn didn’t miss the break.

“Now is the time.”

More than a hundred heavily armed cavalry finally appeared on the battlefield.

The appearance of a cavalry unit covered with iron armor from head to toe, and even the ironclad war horses, was enough to numb the spirit of any troops.

“Attack!”

Soon after, when the order was given, the heavy cavalry slowly accelerated and ran forward.

It was not a wooden board or a scarecrow doll, but the first charge against a real living object.

Thump! Thump!

The ground started to ring like an earthquake.

Soon enough, the collision occurred.
