The Greatest Extra in history
Chapter 44: The General’s Attack

When Raymond opened his eyes, it was a high ceiling that came into his view.

His fingertips felt a soft texture. It was the bed.

Raymond looked around at the same time he raised his body.

He seemed to have exhausted his Mana when he confronted the enemy and collapsed. After that his consciousness was taken to the World Tree and received the Blessings of the Eternal Forest.

"I didn't expect to be blessed..."

Raymond muttered to himself as he started manipulating mana. There seemed to be a little bit of pure forest energy mixed with his mana.

When Richard, the main character from the novel, helped Sylvia, he received only the "Sword and Magic Blessing" and the friendship of the Platier Elven Village. However, Raymond received an additional of the "Blessings of the Eternal Forest", together with what the main protagonist received.

"Something changed."

Seeing that the Blessings of the Eternal Forest was bestowed unto him, it could be assumed that many of the bodies had been lost. Therefore, this time, as a gratitude for Raymond, who saved the whole village of Platier Elven Village, was greater.

'Is it related to the Apocalypse association?'

Raymond's eyes became sharp. So far, the biggest variable he knows has been the 'Apocalypse Association'.

Just as Raymond gained a new life along with the knowledge, as he started messing up with novel a new variable appeared.

Knock Knock

"Your Highness, may I come in?"

The person who knocked, with a clear voice, was Desia.

"Come on in."

When Raymond allowed, the door opened and Desia walked in. She was not alone. Even under the dim light, Sylvia with platinum hair was carefully following her.

"How many days I lost my consciousness?"

This is the most important problem. Raymond asked questions as soon as he made eye contact with Desia.

"Your Highness lost consciousness for two days."

Desia replied in a calm voice. Raymond nodded slowly.

Although he received the 'Blessing of Magic and Sword' and reconstructed his body, side effects were expected from the beginning because Mana Explosion, was used with an unfamiliar body.

Rather, the period when he lost consciousness was shorter than expected.

"Is everything okay?"

"I don't think there's much change on the border yet."

"Are you saying that with confidence?"

Desia noticed at once that Raymond was not asking about the village of the Platier Elven Village.

Raymond lightly pointed out how she spoke with confidence it was excessive. She seems to be hiding something.

"Your Highness, the Fifth Prince, don't you think I've changed?"

Raymond didn't expect to ask this question so suddenly from her, but Raymond cooled down and looked at Desia.

She wasn't a person who liked to jokes. It seems to be out of line with the topic of conversation, but there will be the same point.

As the aftereffects of losing consciousness for two days disappeared, Raymond could clearly feel Desia's change.

"You're on the level of a Supreme wizard."

The concentration of mana, which rises subtly from the whole body of Desia, has deepened. She didn't reveal it intentionally, but she didn't seem to be trying to hide it herself, so it wasn't difficult to know that she was at the Supreme level.

"It's all thanks to your highness."

It wasn't empty words. When Raymond received the "Blessing of swords and magic" and began to reconstruct his body, Desia remained to side and watched the whole process. As he watched the progress of ancient magic, he realized.

'She is actually scary!

Raymond shook his head lightly, thinking so inside. He knew her talent in the novel and reaffirmed it when he saw her in person, but he didn't know it would be this much.

She is now in her early 20s and learned magic for four years.

However, it takes more than 10 years for a genius to reach the Supreme level. Historically, this is not uncommon as in the ancient times the time it took to achieve her feat was much shorter, but the fact that it is a great achievement remains unchanged.

"Now you can contact the Tower Master."

"It was fortunate that I brought the perfect tools just in case."

She may said it as a coincidence, but Raymond thought she had calculated all this.

She seems to have been confident that she will surely reach the Supreme level on this journey.

"Tell the Tower Master that I'm coming soon because the work is done."

The last news he heard was the Fresyria Kingdom's General entered the Black Mountains.

Theh probably didn't come to the dangerous black mountain range for a picnic. It is time for the battle

to take place by now.

"I'll keep that in mind."

Desia noded and stepped back. However, Sylvia looked like she had something to say.

"Lady Sylvia..."

"It's okay, so go ahead."

Desia tried to go out with Sylvia, but Raymond said it was okay and sent her first.

Now that he had received the "blessing of the eternal forest," he was curious about how the high

elf lineage in front of him would react.

"You've been blessed by the eternal forest."

"It's like that."

Raymond affirmed.

"Savior, can I ask you the whole story?"

Sylvia asked calmly and politely.

Previously, he showed courtesy, but at that time, there was little sincerity mixed.

He showed courtesy with eyes that would die cold due to necessity. But it was different now.

From her gaze on the Fifth Prince, sincere worries and respect were buried, her previous dead eyes now sparkled with vitality.

"Should I explain the whole story?"

"No, it was just my curiosity, my savior may remain silent."

Sylvia smiled and shook her head at his answer. The other party was the Savior of the World Tree.

She can't force him to answer.

"First of all, I'd like to say thank you."

"Just by talking?"

"If you need anything, we'll do our best..."

"It's okay. I'm joking. Don't worry."

Watching Sylvia answer with nervousness, Raymond smiled.

The Platier Elven Village suffered great damage from the Second Prince's plot.

Raymond doesn't like to lose money, but he didn't mean to take something out of the Platier Elven Village right now.

The Blessings of Sword and Magic and the Blessings of the Eternal Forest were obtained through this journey. One was planned, but the other was an unexpected additional compensation. These two blessings alone paid him enough for the trouble.

Although there is "Blessing of eternal forest," since this world is not a game, excessive demands or request will inevitably lead to a distance from the Platier Elven Village. Raymond decided not to be greedy anymore.

"You're leaving soon, right?"

"Of course."

One of the protagonist's great power, the blessing of swords and magic, was now in his hands. There was no longer reason for him to be in the green forest.

"Are you sad thinking about me leaving the forest?"

One of the things he bet on by purifying the World Tree's Spring Water for purification was Sylvia Platier, her loyalty.

"There's no way I will stop. We will not neglect to serve our savior."

For her, Raymond was a savior not only to prevent the extinction of the Platier Elven clan but also

to save lives. Even if it is not because of "blessing of the eternal forest," it is natural to show this much friendship.

After a short conversation, silence continued

"Your Highness, the Fifth Prince!"

The knocking and Desia's urgent voice broke the tranquil peace in the bedroom.

"Come on in."

"This is an emergency call from the Blue Tower."

"What's going on?"

Raymond frowned at the word emergency contact.

Although Blue Tower is a person with severe exaggeration, he wouldn't make a fuss by using emergency contact. It was clear that something must have happened to the border.

"Say it."

"It's..."

Desia showed signs of hesitation. She was looking at Sylvia.

As it was a matter of national borders, she seemed to be concerned about the leakage of military information. Sylvia soon noticed the meaning of the gaze and informed her.

"I'll be outside."

"No, you don't have to do that."

Raymond held Sylvia, who was trying to step down quietly. Soon his gaze turned to Desia.

"Sylvia will soon be part of my Shadow Squad, so don't worry too much."

"Yes, your Highness, the Fifth Prince. Then I'll report it right away."

As Raymond nodded, Desia spoke again.

"One of the General from Fresyria Kingdom attacked and occupied Fort Alvin in the Black Mountains."

"So fast?"

"Yes. He didn't went for the base, but went to occupy the fortress, it destroyed major facilities and left."

The last news he heard was that three bases were destroyed by the General Attack. He didn't expect them to attack again and occupy a fortress, which has more troops than the base. "Does it mean an all-out war will happen in the Black Mountains?"

Raymond frowned.

In principle, the Black Mountains are regions affected by the Demilitarized Treaty, so even if

there is a military conflict, diplomatic proper protest cannot be made.

In the first place, it was not a place where stationed troops should exist.

Although there are claims that military presence for the purpose of subduing monsters is

possible, it is close to coercion and is not part of the treaty.

"This is unusual. We should go to the border right now."

"I'll take you on a fast and safe path."

Sylvia said. If the "the one who ahead" takes the lead, they can arrive much earlier than scheduled.

There was no pledge of loyalty yet, but Raymond was convinced that Sylvia would not betray him.

The development began to twist little by little, but Sylvia remained the same from original novel.

"Gesteine."

Raymond left the bedroom with Desia and Sylvia to find Gesteine.

"My lord! Are you awake?"

Gesteine, who was firmly guarding the hallway like a stone statue, rushed when he heard Raymond's voice.

"We are going back to the border right now."

"I think we'll reach the border by tomorrow."

Sylvia said.

She felt it when she came to the forest, but her ability to deal with the spirit of the wind surprising increased. Not only does it speed up with protection, but it also sends spirits forward to scout for danger and find the fastest way.

Compared to the two tower masters and Gesteine, it may seem to be a trivial ability because of its remarkably low combat power, but for Raymond she was a necessary figure in order survive in this tough novel in the future.

'She is essential for me to survive the Bloody funeral.'

Among the events related to Raymond, the "Bloody Funeral" has the greatest influence on him in the novel.

There is no way to avoid it, so he will have to do his best to survive that hell.

"When we could contact with the Imperial Army and the Tower Master?"

Gestein looked at Desia and asked. After reaching the highest level, she continued to exchange magic communication with the blue tower owner as she came this far.

The exact reason is unknown, but it eventually became a wise choice for her to bring a contact

fixture.

"I'm still contacting them right now. But I think, with our current speed, we'll be able to join in three hours."

"Hurry up as soon as possible. We need more guards."

Having faced danger in a row in recent years, Gesteine, who leads Raymond's Shadow Squad, had no choice but to think about his safety.

Originally, the moment he left the green forest, Marquis Crayer had to escort him, but Raymond refused the favor, saying the speed of their movement would decreased.

Although Sylvia can use the protection to speeds up their movement, her mana was still insufficient to protect all of them.

So he decided to join the Imperial Army near the border, but Gesteine was still feeling restless.

He was on edge because he suffered from the servants of the second emperor and the people from the Edgar Kingdom.

Gesteis hurriedly tried to join the army because he thought Raymond might be attacked on their

way.

"Someone is coming."

Time was flowing in a thorough boundary. Sylvia announced someone's approach with a calm voice.

"I think there are about 140 numbers." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NʘvᴇlFirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

She kept reporting. 140 people is the same number as the sum of the Imperial Army, the shadow squad, and the battle mage from the tower.

Gesteine was relieved only then, and shortly after, they saw the imperial flag over the hill.
