Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2)

There was a time when I had to confront him regarding the execution of a captive.

He was a named character who appeared in the latter portions of the game, — a bloodthirsty avenger massacring the named characters from the Northern Kingdom that were crossing the breached walls of the north after the war against the Frost Giant.

Devouring every elixir he could, including the luminescent herbs unique to the Northern Kingdom, he was a semi-Unique Grade knight who endlessly pursued his purpose of revenge.

Beyon Solberg the Avenger.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

Both in the game and the last iteration, the only impression I had of him was that he was a berserker whose sole purpose in life was revenge.

[We must kill all of them! airport We can’t leave any of these wicked barbarians alive! portal Korin Lork! abandon How can you stand on the side of these barbaric creatures as the hero of the kingdom!]

‘So that was the reason he hated the Valkyries so much, huh…’

Never had I imagined that he would be the chief guard of this city.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

Regardless,

I only knew bits and pieces about what happened in the past to cause the walls to fall in an instant, but from what I could see, this man wasn’t without fault either. zenith Another reason behind his constant rampage might have also been because he couldn’t forgive himself.

Considering how the Valkyries were one of the main causes behind the instantaneous fall of the northern walls, I could somewhat understand his position but…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

This level of negligence was not something that could be ignored.

“I hereby start a trial against the Chief Guard of Bifrost, Beyon Solberg.”

…..

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“Ugh…”

It was purely out of consideration that we weren’t carrying out a public trial before the people.

The low-profile trial was held inside a small building.

…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“S, so…”

“I will sentence the punishment of your act of negligence. aspect Until further decisions are made by the command center at the capital, Chief Guard Beyon will step down from his position and serve the military as a normal soldier—”

“Chief Guard Beyon. atlas Do you admit your act of negligence?”

After sobering up a fair amount, Chief Guard Beyon was evidently nervous as he kept glancing at me.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“W, who even are you? alpha If you’re here to investigate the climate, just do your job and go back! accent You are clearly overstepping the boundaries of your work!”

“That is nonsense!”

“Nonsense?”

Was this old man still drunk?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“H, how can someone your age be a Grade 1…”

Without wasting more time, I showed him the golden badge of a Grade 1 Justice of the Peace.

“A Grade 1 Justice of the Peace has the right to be involved in military matters in rural areas as a judge.”

“I hope you understand the severity of this incident, Chief Guard Beyon. apple The ‘young brat’ in front of you is a Grade 1 Justice of the Peace, a baron with territory, a Unique Grade knight acknowledged by the Guardian Association, and the president of the Central Guardian Association branch.”

“T, that’s impossible…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“On the records, it says there are supposed to be 3,000 troops stationed here, but when I looked around there was only a little more than 500. anxiety The weaponries are also receiving the bare minimum maintenance, with the walls close to falling apart.”

It seemed that he was spending so much time drinking in the countryside that he didn’t know anything about what was happening in the capital.

At this point, it was surprising how the walls hadn’t been breached yet.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“Chief Guard Beyon. echo In this city alone are 10,000 citizens of the kingdom and further beyond are hundreds of thousands of our citizens. acoustic I hope you understand how severe and detrimental your act of negligence could have been.”

“Chief Guard Beyon. antenna Now is your only chance to defend yourself.”

However, I wanted to give this man a chance.

It was pretty much a determined fact that he would be fired from his post. adopt Plus, it was highly likely that the command center would send him to the prison according to the military regulations.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

With his trembling fists curled up, he refuted.

“…There was nothing.”

“We had no budget! accent Repairing the walls is not something we can do for free! agent It’s hard to even find a carpenter in this city; how were we supposed to repair the walls, find weaponry and troops!?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

This part, I agreed with. acoustic As a small city attached right on the walls bordering an enemy country, it was incapable of economical self-sustainment, and most of its budget came from the capital.

“…” Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

The issue was that most of that budget was spent on purchasing food, with only a miniscule amount of money being allocated for the guards.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“Kuuhk…”

Even then! canvas You can’t drink in the middle of a workday, can you!?

“I can see there were extenuating circumstances as claimed by Chief Guard Beyon, but the act of negligence committed is nonetheless drastically apparent and unignorable.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“Kuuk…”

“The same sentence will be given to Chief Guard Beyon. absorb Until further decisions are made by the central command center, Chief Guard Beyon will be deprived of all privileges, be demoted to a normal soldier and carry out the same duties as them until commanded otherwise.”

I came down after the final sentence and was met by Master’s smile.

He dropped his head in embarrassment, but I was being very lenient here.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“He is a capable person. sphere I just thought it would be okay to give him another chance.”

“That was surprisingly a magnanimous punishment.”

“The order of command is also clearly set thanks to that. harbor It’s like you caught two birds with one stone.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

I walked up to Chief Guard Beyon, who appeared greatly dejected and called his name with the title of ‘sir’. arctic Normally, according to the result of the trial, he was just a normal soldier and it was fine to call him by his name, but I was saving his face by still referring to him as a knight.

It was crazy how much we had to suffer in the last iteration because of that. apron Going around everywhere as the ones who knew the future, we knew we had to prepare for the inevitable, but the people there always hated us for being ‘outsiders that tried to intervene in everything possible’.

“It is important wherever you go, after all.”

“Sir Beyon.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“…Your will, Sir Korin.”

“We intend to set this as our base camp before investigating what is beyond. antique However, we must first carry out a complete repair and renewed maintenance of this city, and we need the people of the city to provide assistance.”

He seemed a bit surprised, but soon lowered his head.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“We have barely any budget left from last year. altitude The unending winter meant a stop in our economy and… unless we send the citizens to chop down the nearby forest, we won’t even have enough money for food…”

“…”

Beyon had a distressed look on his face, knowing that my proposal was realistically impossible to achieve.

Marie, who had been watching from the side the whole time walked closer. antenna We had already discussed this beforehand, before we even set off.

“Un.”

“There is no need to worry about that. anchor Marie-sunbae?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“Sorry?”

“Ah! acid It’s free so don’t worry. atom But we would need to borrow some temporary warehouses to store the potatoes.”

“We will have the Hresvelgrs and the wyverns carry food. galaxy Please tell me if there are any other materials you need.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“That solves the problem for food. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. orbit Next up on priority would be repairing the walls. meadow Summon all the able men of the city, and tell them they’ll be paid with food and gold coins.”

“Uhh…” Beyon murmured, not knowing what to say.

“A, alright…!”

“Does that sound good?” silence I asked.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

It was easier with Marie-sunbae around.

This was a method that was proven to work in the last iteration. august Operation name: Throw away money until everyone else starts to work.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

Some of the bricks were crushed and there were so many holes on the wall that they didn’t even know where to begin.

“It won’t take long, don’t worry~.”

The northern border city of Bifrost was not in an ideal state. alert Many facilities were close to crumbling down, and the last time the northern walls were repaired was 14 years ago.

“Thanks for the help, Marie-sunbae.”

The water bombs exploded before contact and drenched the walls with water, which all quickly froze into ice.

“Since it’s so cold, it should stay like this until the winter ends.”

Marie used her amplified mana to shoot water bombs at the wall. matrix It wasn’t to destroy it; it was to drench them with water.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

Solid ice was tougher than some bricks. amateur Our plan was to repeat this process several times as layers, as widely as possible, so that the walls would last through the winter.

“Sure! arch Chunsik!”

“This should be fine for the time being.”

“Apparently the heating is not working properly in the city. antique Can you take some of the Red Cult mages to have a look?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“Korin. acoustic We can use the citizens of city, but it’s too cold for them to move properly. arena They don’t have firewood either because of the longer winter.”

Fortunately, we had hundreds of mages in our hands. portal There was, however, a problem with manual labor.

“Yes, yes! meadow Master! acoustic Please let this humble servant take care of it, Master!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“How long would it take if we bring thick coats from the capital?”

We were able to fortify the walls again and arrange for food and materials. admire The next problem we had to tackle was the cold.

“Even on Hresvelgrs, it would take a week at the very least.”

“Yeah.”

“That’s too long. matrix We would need some temporary measures to be in place then.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

They were motivated by the food and the gold coins but there were still limits to what a human could do. acid The winter was getting even colder over time, and they were shivering like crazy, to the point that I was concerned they might die from frostbites.

I headed to the highest place within the city. audit There, I could see the citizens of the city cutting down nearby trees and transporting them to repair the walls.

“Let me take care of that.”

There was still some time until the ‘valkyries’ and the barbarians would come attacking the northern walls, followed by the horde of monsters.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“I will lend a hand.”

Only when backed by luxury and abundance was snow a sight to enjoy. absorb In a land as poor as this, the cold and the snow were like a horrible curse.

I gathered the divine energy of Claiomh Solais in the air above the city.

– Huh? atomic What is this?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

– Rain?

“It’s not bad but…”

The aura of the Sun immediately melted the snow and turned it into rain. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. apron The rain fell down, wetted the ground… before freezing back into ice. arrow Although there was less snow, this was bound to create a road of ice as soon as I retrieved the aura of the Sun.

I focused more mana to float it in the sky. harbor Before long, Claiomh Solais revealed its red ambience and manifested itself as a small sun.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

– My word…

The citizens were baffled by the sheer sight of it. amateur The manifested ball of fire was giving off such an intense heat that they could feel it with their skin… and the raindrops evaporated before hitting the ground.

– I, is that the Sun…?

“S, Sir Korin…! portal What is going on!?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“H, haah…”

“I will keep it up there for the time being. airport In the meantime, find ways to keep everyone warm.”

Sir Beyon, who looked for me to ask a question, was so shocked that his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

He continued looking at the Sun with a blank gaze and gulped without even replying to what I said. aspect The same appeared to be the case even for the citizens of the city.

It was natural though.

The research group that Korin brought was busy helping out with repairing the city ever since their arrival. acoustic They thought they would be going past the gates straight away and were therefore puzzled by the sudden command to repair the walls, but were nonetheless obedient.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

This was the first repair in over a decade, and they were fully aware how this could be their only chance.

The guards and the soldiers stationed in the city, who had been constantly suffering from the insufficient budget, were thriving now that they had both manpower and food.

It had already been 3 days since they came here, and seeing the Sun in the sky that was floating there ever since made them awe the one behind that heaven-defying phenomenon.

“Quick! aluminum Hurry up! arcade We will quickly process the trees we cut up to repair the walls!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

“Huahk…!”

That was when a human dropped from the sky with a gigantic tree on their shoulder. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

– Kung!

Everyone turned around at the same time, but soon focused back on what they were doing, as if they were used to it.

“S, Sister Hua Ran! voyage P, please. alert I beg you please don’t jump down like that!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

The trees in the nearby forest were of high quality and were a perfect fit for repairing traps and walls, but the biggest issue was in their weight.

Transporting it from the forest to the city was not an easy feat, and yet this tiny sister was able to hand-chop enormous trees, carry it on her shoulder and jump dozens of meters at once.

To be fair, she wasn’t wrong.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

Normally, it would be unthinkable to ask a Unique Grade knight to do something so trivial, but Hua Ran wasn’t the authoritative type to worry about that, so she returned a nod.

She was much more efficient than hundreds of men working on it, but the guards couldn’t help but feel startled whenever she was landing near them with an enormous log on her shoulder.

“By the way, Sister Hua Ran, there has been a request for assistance from the trap install group. altitude Apparently the ground is frozen so hard that they cannot dig deep. alpha Would it be possible for you to lend them a hand?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

Hua turned down Ran’s offer, because this much of manual labor was nothing more than going on a walk for someone like her, who had the Unbreakable Vajra Body.

[They’re all working so hard. legend Should we swap?]

[Let’s make a lunch box in a bit and go over to where oppa is. atom He’s working the hardest, after all.]

“…It’s okay.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

[He’ll like anything you make, Hua.]

Hua couldn’t conceal the blush on her cheeks.

“…Will he, like malatang?”

[Let’s add some bird meat inside.]

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

[No. abandon Look at the sky. apron There’s a bird flying over there.]

Hua turned towards the sky as suggested by her sister. apron Thanks to the sudden increase in temperature due to the Sun, it seemed that the nearby birds were also gathering nearby for refuge.

“There are… only rabbits here.”

“I’ll grab one of them.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

Before it could even react, the bird was grabbed on the neck by the girl wearing nun clothes, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. legend It flapped its wings but couldn’t avoid the fate of falling towards the ground with Hua.

“Got it.”

Just like what she did when carrying the log around, Hua kicked off the ground. ability Crushing the ground beneath, Hua jumped straight into the sky. arena The ground beneath her zoomed out until it appeared like a white canvas but her eyes were stuck on that one big bird.

– Quack!?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

Two legs as thin as chopsticks; a long beak; wings were covered in white feathers except for the ends that were in black.

It was the only type of bird that Hua and Ran knew of, apart from chickens and eagles.

Right as she was about to snap the neck of the resisting bird, both Hua and Ran widened their eyes in shock.

“…A stork?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 226: Northern Walls (2) by Indra Translations.

It was their long-awaited baby carrier.

[…A stork?]
