86Tue second variable (2)
A building at the Southern Training Center.
McBurney leaned against the wall of the building and exhaled harshly..
“Huh, huh.”
His condition was miserable..
The armor made of tightly woven chains had already been torn off, exposing the bare skin, and blood was flowing from the gaping abdomen..
It was fortunate that the intestines didn't spill out..
An ordinary person would have blocked his abdomen with one hand, but McBurney had no way to do anything with his abdomen as he was aiming his one arm holding his sword at his enemies..
“I'll die even if I just leave it alone.?”
“Are you giving up now? Then I will kill you painlessly..”
Hector's soldiers.
They came giggling..
The number was three..
They slowly approached McBurney, surrounding him, and pointed their weapons as if they were ready to attack at any time..
an imminent situation.
McBurney's mouth went dry..
I was dizzy and my vision was blurry, but I bit into the flesh in my mouth to somehow come to my senses..
Far away.
“좆 까, 이 개새끼들아.”
A fishy taste spread in my mouth..
Even blood is water, and although it was only a little, it felt like my thirst was quenched..
“Whoever attacks you first, I will risk my life and kill you. So come on in. If you are willing to sacrifice yourself for your comrades, risk your life and attack. I'll bite off the back of that bastard's neck with my teeth..”
It growled fiercely..
Eyes shining with poison.
Seeing McBurney not flinching at all, Hector's soldiers were unable to attack him willingly..
It wasn't just a threat.
In fact, the soldier who had tried to attack McBurney was now cooling off on the cold floor..
‘Damn it.’
I cursed internally..
He tried not to show it to the outside as much as possible, but his physical condition was at its worst right now..
It wasn't surprising if I collapsed right away..
He was holding on only through willpower, and Hector's soldiers also knew that fact, so they safely bided their time..
‘Even if my right arm was intact, I would kill them all..’
In the reality in front of you.
I felt hopeless.
Even when he was active on the Western Front, McBurney could easily take on two or three enemies with a single sword..
I did not systematically learn swordsmanship..
It was a practical swordsmanship learned while fighting on the battlefield, and many of Kronos' soldiers died due to the aggressive swordsmanship that exceeded the opponent's expectations..
however.
It was different now..
My left arm couldn't move as I wanted, and I couldn't even kill a few people, but I ended up in such a mess..
finished.
death is just around the corner.
Knowing that he was about to die, McBurney wanted to take at least one last person with him..
‘What happened to Roman Dmitry?.’
suddenly.
The face of an impressive person came to mind..
Roman Dmitry was the first proper nobleman I met at the southern training camp, and unlike the others, he showed himself preparing for war..
The only person who does not let go of tension even on the southern front.
Even though he was assigned to the 5th defense line, it seemed like Roman Dmitry would have somehow accomplished something..
I was curious.
what is he doing.
Absurdly, the person who rose from the edge of death was not his family or friends, but Roman Dmitry..
‘This probably means that there is still some lingering regret on the battlefield..’
closely.
I grabbed my sword tightly..
I lowered my posture.
So that I can rush in at any time.
Regardless of whether blood was flowing from the abdomen or not, his sharp eyes found the opponent's weakness..
It was then.
Kwaang!
“Wow!”
“attack!”
outside the building.
I started hearing loud noises.
* * *
Roman was one step late..
The southern training camp was in ruins when we arrived, and the corpses of soldiers were strewn everywhere..
a terrible sight.
I could still hear noise around me..
After determining that not all of the enemies had fled, Roman gave an order..
“Eliminate the enemy's remnants and rescue survivors right now..”
“All right.”
Soldiers, including Chris, spread out in all directions..
Roman looked around carefully..
As the soldier said, the southern training center seemed to have been attacked by Hector's kingdom..
Among the corpses strewn around were soldiers from Hector's kingdom, who wore only light leather armor, perhaps for quick movement..
Most of them were corpses of Cairo Kingdom soldiers..
Just by looking at the corpse, it was clear that Hector's surprise attack had definitely worked..
I raised my mana.
Expand your senses and listen to the sounds around you.
‘……McBurney?’
Among the many sounds.
I heard a familiar sound.
McBurney was fighting with someone, and judging by the panting in his voice, it seemed like the situation was quite dangerous..
I immediately kicked the ground..
a building not far away.
When I opened the door and entered, the picture I expected unfolded..
“What, what??!”
“Has Cairo already sent reinforcements??”
Hector's soldiers looked perplexed..
According to their calculations.
No reinforcements ever arrived at the southern training camp..
I did not expect to send reinforcements to a place that had no special meaning when the front-line defense positions were under attack right now..
But who on earth is that person?.
As Hector's soldiers showed hostility and pointed their weapons, Roman looked back and forth between them and McBurney to assess the situation..
‘He was still alive..’
McBurney was one of the survivors.
He looked like he was going to die at any moment, but he still had the strength to stand on his own two feet..
McBurney's eyes are filled with astonishment..
Leaving those eyes behind, Roman approached his enemies..
‘They are captured alive..’
I made a decision.
At a time when Hector's soldiers were shouting not to come near, Roman suddenly appeared before their eyes..
sudden.
Kwasik!
A fist exploded in Soldier Hector’s face..
His pupils were blown away by the blood rising wildly, and Roman took over the blood of his fallen enemy..
Because of this, even if I come to my senses, I won’t be able to move..
When one of Hector's soldiers got angry and tried to attack, Roman let go of the attack and defeated him in the same way..
puck!
a fiery fist.
And the finger that points at the acupoint.
It was a situation that happened in an instant..
Even though they were veteran soldiers, two of them were subdued in a split second..
last one.
he tried to run away.
As he sacrificed his colleagues and ran to the other door, he was grabbed by the neck by an unexpected being..
widely.
“gagging.”
“I said it. I'm taking one person with me.”
It was McBurney..
He was quick-witted..
Realizing that Roman was trying to capture the opponent alive, he strangled the opponent with his left arm rather than cutting him with his sword..
Since he only had one arm, the backlash was very strong..
However, McBurney gritted his teeth and strangled his opponent until the end, and soon Hector's soldier fainted..
dump.
“lower jaw, lower jaw.”
McBurney was lying on the floor..
It was the limit.
My mind was clouded and I felt a sick feeling rising up..
into his sight.
I saw Roman’s face..
“Good job. Leave it to me from now on and take a break..”
Squeak.
Roman sprinkled a potion on McBurney's body..
I couldn't say thank you.
McBurney lost consciousness as the potion spread throughout his body..
* * *
the situation has been resolved.
Chris checked the area around the southern training camp and reported the results to Roman..
“There were not many soldiers from Hector's kingdom. We found and dispatched 12 enemies on the spot, and rescued 5 survivors from the southern training camp. And according to the survivor's testimony, Viscount Bale was injured while fighting with soldiers of Hector's kingdom and fled to the mountains..”
It was unexpected.
Viscount Vale.
Like Baron Bruce, he thought he would run away right away, but he showed himself fighting the enemy in his own way..
But that's all.
The results did not change.
As a result of their negligence, most of the soldiers at the southern training camp died, and only less than 10 survived..
‘The main force of Hector Kingdom attacked the southern training camp and left somewhere. According to survivors, the number of enemies was at least several hundred. There is definitely a reason why they use the strategy of attacking the East and the West..’
one possibility.
My confidence grew stronger..
The enemy's purpose was predicted to some extent, but even so, it was impossible to make a hasty judgment..
Based on one's own judgment.
Many lives are at stake.
Knowing the weight of those words, Roman did not hurry his steps..
“Hector's soldiers?”
“They were all locked in one building..”
There is only one way to find out the truth.
Roman said as he walked..
“Chris, from now on, no one is allowed into the building until I give the order. It's an order.”
“All right.”
like that.
Squeak.
thud.
The door to the building that swallowed Roman was closed..
* * *
inside the building.
Hector's soldiers were captured.
As Roman entered, one of the soldiers screamed with a messed up face..
“Don't let him live like a wretch, kill him! I have no intention of saying anything to the cowards in Cairo anyway. Kyaak, wow!”
Thick saliva fell at my feet..
Roman didn't mind that..
Didn't react to what the other person said or give an answer.
but.
He told his plan with a cold face..
“From now on, I will give each of you three minutes. I don't have much time, so I can't allow more time than that. The rules are simple. Answer what I ask. If you give the answer you want within 3 minutes, they will kill you painlessly, but if the opposite is true, you will experience terrible pain right before you die..”
“Such a bastard!”
“Kill me, kill me!”
Hector's soldiers struggled..
Roman calmly looked at one of them and asked a question..
“This is the first question. What is the purpose of Hector’s kingdom??”
“Fuck you!”
I kept my mouth shut..
Troops deployed in this operation.
It was composed of soldiers with great patriotism..
They showed a firm determination never to reveal secrets, even if it meant death..
time has passed.
After a period of one-sided shouting by Hector's soldiers, Roman sentenced his opponent to death..
“3minute end.”
Tuk.
pressed the blood.
At that time, Hector's soldiers had no idea what that meant..
Moment.
He widened his eyes..
Every muscle in his body was twisted, and excruciating pain overtook him..
“Wow!!”
“I express it as the number of split root bones. You will suffer the pain of your entire body's muscles and bones being twisted, and you will die very slowly. You are the enemy who attacked the Kingdom of Cairo. I have no intention of letting such enemies live gracefully, and the only exceptions I make are those who cooperate with me..”
In a situation happening next to me.
The soldiers' expressions quickly hardened..
The sight of a steadfast colleague screaming, revealing his white face, was contagious in fear just by looking at it..
“Second question. Why are you guys at the southern training camp??”
It was a question from the god of death..
The soldier swallowed hard..
I wanted to shout out surrender, but I couldn't because I remembered the moment I had sworn to secrecy..
at last.
“3minute end.”
“Wow!!”
He too fell into the pit of hell..
It was the last time.
As Roman approached, the third soldier started struggling and screaming, even though he had not yet asked a question..
“Do you think the outcome will change just because you guys do this? It's already over. Even if you hear Hector's 'operation' from my mouth, you have already gone beyond what you can stop! So, do whatever you want. The Kingdom of Cairo will pay the price for its carelessness, and you will leave your name in that shameful history! Hahahahaha!”
laughed.
I laughed like crazy to hide my fear.
Moment.
Roman looked at him and smiled inexplicably..
“I was waiting for that answer.”
“……what?”
“I didn't want the truth from you from the beginning. I just wanted to see how you react. If you guys are that confident about it, I can guess one possibility..”
a panicked soldier.
Roman bombed him..
“rear position. Your real purpose is there..”
In those words.
The soldier lost his composure..
that was enough.
The answer of not wanting an answer was also just bait to elicit that reaction..
“Just die now.”
Tuk.
pressed the blood.
Leaving behind even the last soldier screaming, Roman left the building..
‘The simultaneous attack on the southern front was nothing more than a deception. Their real purpose lies elsewhere. If they were really successful in their operation, it would be as if the southern front had fallen..’
My blood went cold..
This makes it clear.
The southern front was in much greater danger than people expected..
A plan you thought was perfect gets leaked.
It was the second variable that Hector's kingdom did not expect..
