126How to catch a giant with angry serfs
"what… Catch it?"
"He told me to catch the giant.."
""?????""
Everyone is filled with questions. Even the serfs seem to be wondering what they heard..
"I… therefore… Those giants who are the field bosses here... Catch it?"
It is an orange gate owned by the association..
The gate is being maintained as raid boss attack training as it drops powerful, but high-value drop items such as giant skin and nails..
However, because the giant is such a powerful entity, the association's elite attack force consisting of at least B and A classes can come here for training..
Hari has been there before when he was a rookie, so he knows how powerful those giants are..
He is basically 8m tall and the weapon he is holding is nothing more than a bat, but it is the size of a century-old old tree..
One blow from a club will kill fifteen of the serfs..
A field boss of at least A grade. Originally, it was a target that multiple raiding parties had to raid. This level is impossible to attack alone unless you are an S-class hunter..
"Oh, is that really it? Let's get the serfs' attention and then see how we handle it.?"
"They should only be captured by serf soldiers.."
"……I only have a dagger.?"
"The literature says it was only caught with a dagger.."
how?
To the four knights full of doubts, Leon carefully turned the pages of a leather book as if he was holding a shrine..
"According to the Bible, 'How to Kill a Giant with Serfs' by the Holy Grail Knight Sir Gratas, it is said that five hundred serfs armed with daggers are enough to kill a giant.."
''It's not enough?!''
Hari and the knights understood Leon's calm and weak attitude..
'Your Majesty... ! You don't care if all the serfs die.!'
Even if the combat power of the serfs was set high, they were D-class hunters. No matter how many D-class hunters there are, there is no way they can win against a giant who is at least an A-class field boss..
"Don't judge ahead. Jim is not doing this with the intention of killing all the serfs. Sir Gratas actually captured the giant with five hundred serfs.."
"How many people died??"
"About three hundred died.."
"Look at that! It's a complete massacre.!"
Three hundred out of five hundred died. That means more than half of them are dead. The serfs' faces became pale as they listened, but Leon didn't care..
"Who cares about the lives of you bastards?."
"Well, do I care? You guys are like that too?"
"Uh, senior Hari, I'm um……."
Jaehyuk wanted to say, "Why are you including us too?", but he found it difficult to accept a suicide special attack that required sacrificing three hundred out of five hundred people..
"i don't care."
"Soyeon Cheon?!"
Everyone turns their heads in shock. Cheon So-yeon has a cynical expression as if asking what she is looking at..
"Your Majesty must have had something in mind. They are devil followers to begin with. What if a few people die?."
"Noeeee… ! Still……!"
Hari was almost dumbfounded by his junior's extremely cruel remarks..
"Your Majesty... You have a deeper meaning.?"
Su-ho’s question is worse. Su-ho knew that this seemingly barbaric and discriminatory classist always had a deeper meaning..
Isn’t there something they don’t know this time too??
"No, Jim wants to recreate Lord Gratas' legendary serf challenge.."
""…….""
Selfishness MAX. I'm not particularly interested in saving the serfs and raising them into strong soldiers or using them for useful purposes..
Oh, you captured a giant as a serf? Are you hitting a bit? I'll have to try it too.
This level of emotion. White plantation owners who made black slaves fight with fists would have been better than this..
At least the farm owners wouldn't have thrown them to the monsters to die..
"your majesty……."
Hari made a sad face at Leon's stern attitude..
I know he hates the devil. However, being cruel to Iida was also difficult to bear even from the standpoint of serving Leon..
"To the serfs… You gave me a chance. Wash away your sins for 50 years……."
"It was like that."
"Well at least… If you are driven to this kind of death... I don't think it will work."
Hari's opinion is completely justified. He believed that minimum human rights exist even for criminals in the warmth of the rule of law in the 21st century..
If criminals are treated unconditionally harshly, not only will their rehabilitation become impossible, but society will collapse. The law must be fair, just, and just..
Leon knew what Hari was worried about. I know how that humanity was displayed..
The gods love that child because he is such a pure and good child..
however.
"Serfs are not people."
"Ugh…!"
Hari doesn't understand. Leon pointed to a serf with a wave of his hand..
"you there pig. come closer."
"Yeah, yeah…!"
The person who came trembling because he was called by Leon was Veron, the village chief of a village in the Demon Grand Duke..
A person from the same world as Leon and a soldier in the imperial army. Leon asked him..
"What sin have you committed as a human being?."
"yes? That, that……."
Veron hesitated to answer. But he couldn't help but answer because he didn't want to answer..
-Jiei profit!
"Wow! Yes, I will answer! I will answer!"
When the collar of Tartar, the god of judgment, burned Veron's neck, he had no choice but to carry out his orders..
"Yes, murder! committed a murder!"
"tell me in more detail."
"I killed my husband and violated my wife and daughter! The corpses were scooped up and eaten, and human sacrifices were performed.!"
"……."
Veron glanced at Hari. Hari, who had pitied the serfs just a moment ago, looked at her with cold contempt..
"What was the most enjoyable sin? How did it feel?."
"Well, that was… Wow! Yes, to the demons of slaughter! Select the young things to offer... They threw them into a pit and made them kill each other! It was really fun to see them killing each other to survive.──"
"This bastard is worse than a dog!"
Jaehyuk, who couldn't hear anything, kicked Veron. Relentless beatings continue to hit him as he falls..
"……."
Hari looked at that with sad eyes, but there was no sympathy..
"Jim despises serfs. If I get the chance, I want the devil's followers to die in pain. In some ways, I hate him more than the devil. Do you know why??"
"How… Stand?"
"People who are born evil and commit evil deeds, and those who commit evil deeds even though they can be good. What is more evil?."
Hari thought a lot about what Leon said. I also remembered Veron's excuses that Leon had urged..
Those who could have been good but chose the path of evil. Those with no room for sympathy.
"Look. They are absolutely evil. They are a race that is not worth living. As serfs, the only chance they have is!"
Because they are not devils.
Even if you commit a devilish sin, it is not pure evil. Gather that soul and give it a chance for purification..
This alone is a great act of mercy..
"Jim will demonstrate first before your test.."
Leon took just five hundred serfs and headed towards one of the giants..
* * * *
The giant in front of him is 9 meters tall, and the club he is holding is as huge as if several people were glued together..
Being big itself becomes physical violence. In that sense, the serf soldiers had no idea how to defeat the giant..
Among them, Beal, who was quite brave, was left feeling helpless..
"Your Majesty... Uh, how do you catch a giant?."
It was a serious crime for a serf to be beaten to death just for daring to talk to the Lionheart King, but Leon didn't even pay attention as he was busy flipping through the pages of 'How to Catch a Giant with a Serf' in the Bible left behind by Gratas..
"hmm… Let's see. According to Lord Gratas' theory,……."
「How to catch a giant with serfs」
If the giant's health is 3,000, the attack power of the serf holding the dagger can be said to be 1..
then.
If one thousand attacks are successful, it will cause bleeding that cannot be ignored.,
2If you succeed in making a thousand attacks, you will die from excessive bleeding..
Wouldn't three thousand times be enough to kill someone for sure?.
"Hmm, this is indeed an intuitive and logical argument.."
So I, Gratas, told the serfs that they could kill a giant by stabbing each of them at least six times..
Haha, how can 500 people not be stabbed 3,000 times? If I can't stab you, I'll die..
"cancer. Anyways."
""…………….""
When I explained how to kill a giant, the serfs all turned pale..
This crazy guy is trying to kill us.!
Beal knew this wouldn't be the last..
They are vicious bastards who were not included in the 'number of soldiers' even though more than a thousand people died in the Demon Grand Duke's Reign..
50Can the years last? Definitely not. Beal suddenly had a genius idea that crossed his mind..
'okay! Let’s just give it a go now! It's easier to die early!'
50Wouldn't it be better to die than to live a life where you never know when you will die after years of vicious bullying?!
"Ooooooooooooooo!!"
Beal suddenly charged towards the giant. At that time, Jaehyuk witnessed a system message..
['‘How to catch a giant with serfs’ grants a buff to serf soldiers..]
-Attack power increases by 20% against giants.
"Oh... Increased damage to all serfs!"
However, even if the attack power increased by 20% from 1, it only increased to 1.2. Of course, the premise was that the attack would be successful..
-Frozen!
Beal, who was running after shouting with all his might, was hit by the giant's club and died instantly. Pieces of what used to be Beal stuck to the giant's club..
"hmm."
Leon knew Beal's intention and tried to absorb its soul with the Holy Grail. But then──
-Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
The soul that flowed out of Beal was quickly absorbed somewhere while screaming torn apart..
['‘How to catch a giant with serfs’ grants a buff to serf soldiers..]
-Attack power against giants increases by 20.0001%.
-If successful, the buff is applied permanently..
A Bible that absorbed Beal's soul. Jaehyuk shouted after noticing the buff that was different from before..
"Your Majesty! Increased attack power from 20% buff to 20.0001%!"
"Hoo?"
""……………!!!!""
What does that mean just now? The serfs' survival instinct made their brains spin quickly..
One serf died and his soul was absorbed, increasing the buff amount by 0.0001%? So where does the existing 20% come from? no way…….
''20Doesn’t that mean they consumed the blood of 10,000 people and gave a 20% buff?!!''
"Indeed, it is a Bible with mysterious powers. Sir Gratas left behind a great treasure.!"
It's not the Bible, it's a magic book! The devil's book that eats people!!
"Well, now you know. go and die."
"……."
"……."
Was it a mistake? No, I don't think it was a mistake? It's probably because of my mood.
Everyone is in a terrifying dilemma... someone shouted.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa────!!"
If you don't kill it, you die. Even if you die, your soul will be captured in that magic book.!
So then I have no choice but to live by killing myself?!
Four hundred and ninety-eight serf soldiers rushed at once, following the lead serf soldier..
Hari thought at the scene of that crazy attack..
"Self-employed... Yes, self-employed……."
I felt like I would turn away if I didn't think about it that way. everyone thought so.
* * * *
caught a giant.
There was less damage than expected. One hundred and forty-three people died from the giant's clubbing, but this was because the giant who was eating the serfs was momentarily choked..
After swallowing three serfs in one go, the giant with a blocked airway stumbled and soon fell backwards, and the serf soldiers were able to catch the giant with relatively little damage..
It was truly miraculous..
['‘How to catch a giant with serfs’ grants a buff to serf soldiers..]
-Attack power increases by 20.0144% against giants..
-The buff is permanently applied.
-Oh my gosh!
For a moment it sounded like the Bible had burped, but the serfs and knights did their best to ignore it..
"Hoo~ Is this a permanent buff? Indeed, how much effort did Sir Gratas put into creating this Bible? It's truly amazing.."
Leon worships the magic book created with the blood of 200,000 serfs like a shrine. He now turned his gaze to the knights..
"Well, now that I've set an example, you guys can try it. Catch the giant with the most damage... No, the person who catches it with minimal damage will be given the rank of knight commander.."
"Your Majesty, my true feelings have come out. It came out in abundance.……."
It was right then. ‘How to catch a giant with serfdom’ suddenly began to shine..
"Huh? A new message has appeared in the system window.!"
[Grail Knight Gratas's 'How to Catch a Giant with Serfdom' unlocks true power..]
[Holy Grail Knight Gratas' 'Serf Challenge' creates a new table of contents.]
1. Hunting giants as a serf: Attack power increases by 20.0144% (permanent))
2. Troll hunting as a serf: Attack power increases by 43.5668% (temporary). If successful, proceed to the next step.
"…………."
"…………."
When everyone who wanted to turn their eyes away from this terrible reality remained silent, Leon slapped his palms together in a frivolous manner..
"Oh no! So great! Sir Gratas! How could he leave behind such a great relic! At this moment, I cannot find anyone I respect more than Sir.!!"
Leon grinned like a child receiving a Christmas present..
He looked happy.
very much.
