A tremendous tremor ran through my heart, and it lingered for a long time.
...
The devil saved us!
Knights or Demons, Who is Justice?
Countless slogans were carved on the buildings of the Pale Sorcerer Guild and spread wildly throughout the territory.
In the war to annihilate the barbarians, the warriors of the Pale Magic Guild achieved an absolute victory.
They annihilated most of the barbarian tribes and drove them out of the northern frontier.
The Sorcerers have won a great victory! Only a small number of brave mages sacrificed themselves while trying to block the barbarians' path.
However, no one expected that this victory would be brought about by a demon.
From the moment that demon was born, he had already sealed the fate of the barbarians.
The crimson sky seemed to welcome the arrival of demons, and the blood-red ocean was like the home of a giant crocodile.
That brutal yet incredibly exciting scene became an eternal memory for the members of the Pale Sorcerer's Guild.
The Pale Magic Guild was now in a state of jubilation that had not been seen in a long time.
The members all took off their robes, put on their own clothes, and sang and danced around a huge bonfire in the territory.
Everyone raised their glasses, their faces beaming with smiles.
The soldiers stationed in the northern frontier no longer had to worry about barbarian invasions.
After this battle, the two barbarian clans, having lost most of their main forces, were no longer a threat.
The Pale Sorcerer's Guild doesn't even consider the other small tribes a threat.
The members even gathered around Vladimir, dancing and drinking barrels of ale.
Erica sat quietly to the side, watching the cheering scene unfold.
Although the joyful atmosphere was contagious, she was not someone who had been stationed in the northern border region for many years, so she could not truly understand the high spirits and joy of the soldiers and residents there.
However, she could still directly feel how utterly hateful the barbarians were.
Her feelings were a mix of subtle complexities. She rested her head on her hand, savoring the bitter wheat wine in her hand.
A figure slowly sat down beside Erica.
It's Amelia.
Erica knew that she was the only third-tier mage in the Pale Magic Guild, and that she led the mage group.
The two sat silently to one side, remaining speechless for a long time.
Finally, Amelia spoke first.
"Our power is insignificant, and everyone lives in this territory governed by the Sorcerer's Guild."
"The land for survival is shrinking layer by layer, and even information is difficult to transmit to the outside world."
Sooner or later, the Pale Magic Guild will surely fight those brutal barbarians to the death.
Otherwise, simply waiting will only lead to an absolute, slow death.
Erica listened quietly, remaining silent.
A lollipop was handed to Erica, still wrapped in the familiar candy wrapper.
Erica stared at the candy for a moment, then slowly took it.
"Please thank Viktor for us."
Amelia stood up and walked back into the cheerful crowd.
Erica lowered her head, looking at the candy in her hand.
As if she had made a decision, she stood up.
...
A blizzard raged, and on a snow-covered cliff, Victor stood alone.
His trench coat rustled incessantly in the wind and snow.
A crow perched on his shoulder, letting the wind and snow scatter its feathers.
Erica appeared behind Victor, looking at his lonely figure.
"……professor."
Victor didn't turn around, and Erica continued:
“I saw you on the wanted poster…”
"But I believe you! You must have been wronged."
He turned his head slightly and gave Erica a brief, indifferent look.
Erica met Victor's gaze, and her heart skipped a beat at his cold eyes.
But she did not look away and continued to stare at Victor.
But then the voice of the person in front of him slowly rang out:
"I didn't expect you to be here."
Erica paused slightly, but Victor had already turned back.
“They were not wrong. I did indeed cripple Angus and his heir with my own hands.”
As Victor recounted the facts, Erica suddenly became incredibly agitated.
"They deserved it!"
Having stayed here for a few days, she also knew how infuriating the actions of those Northern Knights were.
However, from a certain perspective...
But no one could find fault with Angus.
He did indeed fulfill his mission of guarding the northern frontier and preventing the barbarians from invading the empire's northern border.
As for those people who live closer to the North?
Who gave you permission to live in such a dangerous place?
Erica could even recall the ugly, disdainful faces of the nobles when the lives of those in the far north were threatened and they sought help from the capital.
If they had the ability to leave the North, who would want to stay in this godforsaken, barren land forever?
They're just talking without understanding the situation.
Erica always believed that Victor had done nothing wrong, even though he was wanted by the knights of the entire North.
"Is that so?"
She couldn't see Viktor's face clearly, but she could hear the faint smile in his voice.
"Even so, they remained peacefully in the North, living a carefree life."
"The barbarians have been completely wiped out. Who will get the credit for this?"
Erica was taken aback.
The existence of the Pale Magic Society was not decided by the royal family.
The true, nominally responsible group for guarding the northern frontier was still that group of inactive northern frontier knights.
