“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.”
A woman was wrestling with her armor in a spacious room.
The woman's name was 'Dionea, no, he'. She was the wife of Baron Mallory and the mistress of Longville..
What she was wrestling with was something made of scale armor and gray fur..
“ha.”
‘It's too heavy.’
The tightly woven pieces of iron and fur coated with lye and oil were excessively heavy. It was not a weight that Dionea, who was small and slender even for a woman, could handle..
“Can I help you, ma'am??”
Daionea turned around at the voice that came out of nowhere. Then, I sighed when I saw the tall knight standing in front of the room door..
“Sir Phoenics.”
“Just like last time, you really surprise me..”
“……That's right.”
Dionea's complexion darkened..
“You shouldn't be surprised by something like this.”
As she muttered, Poynix approached and accepted the armor..
“Why are you putting in the effort yourself? What about the servants??”
“I sent it to the gate. It's an easy situation for one soldier..”
“Even the maids??”
“I sent away all but a few young children. Even if you can't fight, you can probably do some odd jobs..”
“……okay.”
He looked at the armor and shook it a couple of times. It was a light movement, like opening a blanket..
“It's too big and heavy... … . Is that your wife??”
“……no. This is the armor the Baron likes to wear..”
A watery voice continued..
“Since marrying me, I haven't worn it even once.
Although you didn't.”
“ Why??”
“During the war, I learned a lot… … . Your health has deteriorated..”
“ ah.”
Poynix scratched his eyebrows for a moment and then opened his mouth..
“……Well, let's leave the mercenary work to Chester. He's an experienced soldier, so he'll handle it well..”
“That can't be possible. As the representative of the lord, I have a duty to handle this matter.,”
“Still, there is no reason for you to be armed..”
“……Why??”
Phoenix shrugged..
“Because it won't help anything..”
“Because I'm a woman?”
The driver laughed and shook his head at the somewhat foolish question..
“Gender doesn't matter. The problem is that your wife is not a warrior..”
Dionea pursed her lips at the very firm words. Then I made up my mind and looked up at Phoenix..
“If only warriors could arm themselves, I'd be a warrior today.”
“……Being a warrior is not something that can be achieved through declarations like that..”
“If you're going to say things like that, please just leave, Sir. I'll prepare it alone.”
She said and snatched the armor from Phoenix's hands..
“What?,”
Then, he fell straight to the side. It's because it couldn't overcome the weight of the armor..
“this-”
Fortunately, Dionea was not hurt because Phoenix quickly stretched out her arms. But the hem of her skirt was chewed by the iron piece of her armor and torn long..
“Are you okay, ma'am??”
“••••••Ah, um.”
The Baroness, who was being held in the knight's arms, stuttered for a moment and then straightened her posture..
“Yes, please excuse me.”
“no. Excuse me?.”
There was silence for a moment..
Dionea trembled with shame..
I made a fuss about being armed, but I felt ridiculous for wearing a white kimono and a velvet vest..
And, even though it had only been two weeks since my husband went missing, I felt disgusted at myself for blushing while being held in the arms of another man..
Phoenix, who had been watching her silently, suddenly opened his mouth..
“You feel responsible..”
“……It should be that way. It's my duty as a noble lady..”
“I'm afraid that's not all
I like it, madam..”
Black eyes stared down at dark green eyes..
Dionea, intoxicated by the dark, deep, and fascinating colors, opened her mouth without realizing it..
“……why did you help me?”
“yes?”
“The reason you helped me and Longville. 3 Is it because of the prince’s order to help the weak?” Phoenix nodded with a nervous expression..
“Well, there's that too.”
“……Are there any other reasons??”
He thought for a moment, then scratched his eyebrows and answered.
“Because of my friend.”
“ Friend?”
“……I have a friend who wants to live in Longville. I couldn't let Anupad and the mercenaries mess it up..”
“ ah.”
Dionea nodded quietly. Then he touched his forehead and burst into laughter..
“I see. for a friend.”
“ma'am‘?”
She looked up at the man..
“In the end, I guess I was the only one guilty..”
“……What are you saying suddenly??”
“I was punished.”
The woman continued speaking with a sad smile..
“The Lord punished me. “The Baron died because of me.” As Dionea's eyes quickly became moist, Phoenix made a sad expression..
“Punishment. The Baron was defeated by Anupad. It has nothing to do with your wife.,”
“no. It's because I have an immature wife..”
“……The Lord doesn't kill you for one kiss, ma'am..”
“Not just one kiss! I am,”
Dionea, who suddenly raised her voice, quickly shook her head..
“……I'm sorry, sir..”
“I understand how you feel. But you don't have to feel guilty.”
The woman was silent for a moment at the man's gentle whisper..
For a moment, she looked up at Phoenix with a blank expression and opened her mouth..
“you are the devil.”
“••••••ma'am.”
“don't say.”
She still had a blank expression.
“Every time I hear your voice, an evil spirit seeps into my heart.”
“The reason I sent Veldin to call you was because of my dirty expectations..”
Phoenix quietly looked down at her..
“Don't look at me like that.”
The woman closed her eyes tightly..
“When I close my eyes, the sensations from that time come back to me clearly. That memory that I can't forget and don't want to forget comes to mind every night..”
The white face was distorted..
“When a dream demon comes to me in a dream, I welcome it and commit a terrible injustice. In the morning, I pray and shed tears..”
As Dionea shed tears, a large hand came up and patted her on the shoulder..
“Don't do it. I can't breathe, I can't breathe.”
“Dionea.”
“please•••••♦
“dionea.”
The woman broke down at the compassionate gaze and warm voice..
“……hug me please.”
“Get out of the way.”
“Uh, Poynix.?”
As I made my way forward through the Amias gang, Utequai, who was leaning on his dolme, glanced at me..
“It's late.”
“To talk a bit.”
Looking around, I saw that there were about a hundred soldiers lined up in front of the permanent residence under the command of three or four non-commissioned officers..
“What did you come out for? I’m not feeling well either..”
“A bunch of wolves, the smell is terrible. It's hard to rest.”
The other side along the road was crowded with mercenaries. At first glance, the mercenaries gathered around the five leaders seemed to number over a hundred..
“That armor is?”
“this? Well, I borrowed it for a moment..”
Chester, the training leader nearby, looked at me, tilted his head, and then let out an exclamation..
“……lupus!”
“yes?”
When I looked puzzled, Chester grinned happily..
“That armor, sir. Isn't it Rufus, the treasure of the Agni family gate?.”
“……Oh, I see.?”
I looked down at the armor I was wearing again..
It was an armor made of tough leather plates with barbs embedded in them, and the shoulders, neck, and waist were covered with gray wolf fur..
Dionea willingly lent it to me, so I thought it was nothing special, but was it something worth an heirloom? I've never seen it in a game.
“yes. The Baron often wore it when he was young. Did the Baroness give it to you? I never thought I'd see it like this.”
The middle-aged man who said that looked around and asked with a puzzled expression..
“By the way, where is your wife? I heard that you will come out in person..”
“……Um, you're sleeping..”
“Are you sleeping? Are you talking now??”
When Chester asked in confusion, I moistened my lips and answered..
“that… … . He said he hadn't been able to sleep properly for a while. It doesn't seem to be in good condition, so I'm using the power of blood magic to put it to sleep and I'm on my way back..”
It wasn't Chester who responded to my words, but Randall, the mercenary across from me..
“Sleeping in this situation? under!”
The guy looked at the mercenaries around him and lost his temper loudly..
“You are too irresponsible to be the representative of a lord! You can't even take a nap without properly compensating the hired mercenaries.!”
When Randall, one of the five leaders, shouted that, the mercenaries began to murmur angrily..
“this……
When the training leader, Chester, started to swear something, I quickly stopped him and stepped forward..
The mercenaries looked busy talking among themselves. I suddenly screamed at them.
“hey！”
As I shouted and stepped forward, the eyes of the mercenaries gathered..
“It's a bloody prosecutor..”
A murmur following someone's sigh.
“That savage must really be a red bear.”
“how do you know?”
“The beheader and the slugger. They say you two are partners..”
“I don't see the fire witch. At least everything is fine……
A few familiar nicknames pass by my ears. Well, today I'm going to pay for selling my face?
“Hey Randall!”
“……Did you call me now??”
“okay. you bastard.”
Randall's face twisted grimly at my words..
“That's rude..”
“You are the one who is rude. How dare a mercenary bastard talk to a knight without even knowing the topic??”
Randall fell silent, perhaps surprised by my shamelessness, or perhaps dumbfounded by the unexpected situation..
“And what do you care whether the Baroness sleeps or not??”
“……Can't you see the mercenaries gathered now?!”
“So what? When you guys get together, does the Baroness have to come out and deal with you personally? What are you guys??”
“this—”
Just as Randall, his face red, was about to start talking, I was one step ahead.
I shouted.
“Shut up and listen to me carefully!”
The shout I shouted at the top of my voice bounced off the three mountains surrounding the territory and echoed softly..
“The Baroness gave the answer.!”
The mercenaries who were buzzing gave curious looks..
I tried to stop Randall, who was about to go on a rampage, as if the other leaders would come in as well..
“The hunting festival ends today.!”
As soon as I finished speaking, the mercenaries began to murmur again, and some even shouted..
“Then the gift is!”
“Distribute the gifts quickly!”
Wow, these mercenaries. Why are you so impatient??
“Distribution of prizes will take place soon! However, if you guys are messing around in your territory like you are now, the distribution of gifts is bound to be delayed.!”
“Jimmy, when did we get into trouble?!”
“okay! We never messed around!”
I swallowed my laughter and shouted.
“What you're doing like this is a mess, you idiots! Can’t you see people are anxious?!”
Naturally, the fact that hundreds of armed personnel were standing in front of the Yeongjugwan rather than anywhere else caused serious anxiety..
Even though it was still broad daylight, there were no citizens around. Everyone is hiding at home and watching..
“So the Baroness put a condition on it! Mercenaries, except those who will receive the gift, must leave the territory immediately.!”
At my words, the five leaders of the mercenary side simultaneously distorted their faces as if they had just planned something. Well, if I told you to send out all your subordinates and leave only five people, of course you would be scared..
Among the five leaders, a mercenary with a long beard came forward and expressed his dissatisfaction..
“The points earned from the hunting festival are not just for me, but for all of our mercenaries! Receive the gift by yourself!”
“That's your situation! Your name is the only thing on the hunting festival bulletin board. What do you care about your men??”
“bullshit!”
Other leaders also openly expressed their dissatisfaction by spitting on the floor or swearing. Following them, the other mercenaries began to growl fiercely..
The reason the mercenaries came out so calmly was because they were confident in their fight..
The mercenaries gathered in front of the permanent residence were all skilled veterans. They all wore scale armor or chain armor, and their weapons and shields were of quite high quality..
I couldn't see any weapons, crossbows, longbows, etc. that had been left at the gate, but just being armed with a shield and one-handed weapon was enough to be threatening..
Moreover, like mercenaries, they have a lot of experience. They are probably incomparably stronger than the soldiers of an ordinary territory..
There were even a couple of guys who looked like wizards. They were mercenary wizards who were rarely seen. This side also had similar numbers, but the conscripts wearing quilted armor, iron helmets, and polearms were no match for those veterans..
Of course, I should have avoided battle as much as possible, but instead, I drew my sword as if I was going to attack at any moment..
visor!
As Hrunting's milky blade revealed itself, the chaotic atmosphere froze coldly..
The tension makes me smile without even realizing it..
“I came here with the intention of wiping everything out if I had to.?”
The growl that followed was half sincere..
“Try it, you bastards..”
I walked through the gap between the mercenaries and the soldiers..
“I swear half of y'all are dead to me.”
It wasn't a very loud voice, but since my son-in-law was quiet, it seemed like there was no one who couldn't hear it..
“The other half will be killed by red bears..”
The mercenaries glanced behind me..
Utequai stood still with his hands on his dolme, but that was enough. If your eyes are focused properly, you will feel quite intimidated..
“Those lucky enough to survive will burn to death..”
The mercenaries seemed to remember the pillars of fire that dyed the night sky red two days ago. An ominous current began to flow from mouth to mouth..
At that time, someone shouted to reverse the ominous atmosphere..
““X8, you’re good at opening one mouth!” When I turned around, one of the five leaders walked forward, spitting..
He was a tall man whose height was almost as high as my nose. It looks quite menacing, armed with thick scale armor, an iron helmet, a dull-looking pulsion, and a large circular shield..
“……What are you doing, bastard??”
As if answering my self-talk, someone shouted among the mercenaries..
“Sorgil came out.!”
“It's iron jaw Sorgil.!”
“oh oh!”
As if he was excited by the mercenaries' response, Thorgil glared at me and shrugged his shoulders..
“What is your nickname? Blood-red beacon? The Red Knight of the Silver Prince?”
And, he smiles, showing his yellow teeth..
“Fuck you! I don't believe in rumors-!”
“Wow-！”
Another loud response. The mercenaries' momentum was rising..
«U » M3
Actually, I understood the mercenaries' position to some extent, so I tried to make no victims as much as possible, but I think it would be difficult..
really? You've been starving for a long time.’
“••••••uh. What the fuck.”
I think something unpleasant crossed my mind..
Anyway, I realized that this moment was quite important. So I immediately got excited..
“Haha-”
As I exhale hot breath, my vision turns red. The downy hair on your whole body rises, and a delicious taste lingers in your mouth..
As I smiled, Sorgil tapped the shield with a pulse..
“Stop acting like a bullshit and come at me, you bastard.-”
There was no reason to listen to the barking, so I immediately kicked the ground..
“Huh.”
In a world that has slowed down, I am the only one moving at my own pace..
Seeing me right in front of him in an instant, Sorgil raised his shield..
He violently pulled down the shield with his left hand. Almost at the same time, Hrunting was released.
The milky blade and rough pulse collided in the middle..
Kakagagak-!
The friction sound made by the steel is prolonged. I twisted my wrist and laid down the blade..
Caen!
The pulse that was entangled in Hrunting soars into the sky with a cheerful sound..
Sorgil’s eyes opened. The tip of the knife penetrated the guy’s neck..
deeply!
“Grumble,”
The blood gushing from the neck gushes out through the mouth. The hand that had lost its pulse scratched my shoulder meaninglessly..
The head was cut off. Thanks to the sharp knife and previous experience, the work was completed in an instant..
“Huh.”
I glanced at the mercenaries..
Unfortunately, no one made eye contact..
So what about this product?.
“Hmm ”
I lifted what I was holding in my hand diagonally. and,
bang
red fireworks exploded.
“OO 01-1” - —I •
“Holy shit！”
“Me, you crazy bastard-”
As the blood soared into the sky and poured down like rain, the mercenaries screamed in droves..
“Hehehe.”
As if whispering in my ear, an unpleasant sound came from somewhere..
‘……Please, just a little more. Let's jump among them. They're like bugs anyway..’
I suddenly got goosebumps and threw away my tangled head..
The head, thrown without meaning to, rolled somewhere. He then stopped at the feet of the other leaders, including Randall..
I was frowning, feeling dirty inside, when I made eye contact with them..
“what.”
The mercenaries' faces turned white..
“je, raised-”
Led by Randall, whose jaw was shaking, the mercenaries retreated..
