Like the knights and heavy cavalry lined up behind her, the woman in the lead was heavily armed with plate armor and mounted on a majestic war horse..
The voice was familiar to my ears, and I was dressed very extravagantly, with colorful bands on my helmet and pauldrons decorated with silk embroidered with colorful patterns, so there was no room for doubt that the woman was the Baroness of Shaenna..
“……uh,”
I asked back with a dumbfounded expression at the unexpected situation..
“What does that mean all of a sudden?”
“I told them to drop their weapons and lie down.!”
Baroness Shaenna shouted in a majestic manner and continued speaking in an unpleasant tone..
“Did you not hear it, or are you pretending not to hear it?!”
“No, that's not it. I'm asking because I don't understand. why should we?”
“Why do you have to do that? If you have eyes, see what you and your men have done!”
She flapped her thick cloak and stretched out her arms to the side..
The village of Seongha, where dusk had already fallen, looked like it had all kinds of scars from the aftermath of the battle. The guild hall where we were staying had a crack in one wall, and the roof of the tavern across from us was half collapsed. The bell tower of the church seen in the distance had fallen on its side, kicking up dust, and the bronze bell that had bounced off was stuck in a collapsed barn. The public fire pit, which had been damaged by all sorts of spells such as flames and frost picks, was also in such a state that its original shape was difficult to recognize..
In addition, there were about six or seven more buildings that were completely collapsed or half destroyed. The area was completely devastated, as if several artillery shells had landed..
“This is not what we did. No, to be exact, we did some of it, but some crazy guys suddenly attacked.,”
“It's noisy!”
With a stern cry, she pulled out a sword from her belt. The soldiers surrounding us also raised their spears..
“No matter what you say, it doesn't change the fact that you are the main culprits who caused this unrest! If you want to prove your innocence, surrender meekly.!”
In an unusual atmosphere, subordinate mercenaries secretly gathered together and faced each other..
“……“Isn’t that Baron Nari the female knight who made a name for herself in the royal capital?” "uh. I heard he was the leader of a mounted patrol, and the guys from the north were very angry..”
One-eyed Simos, who answered the heavy soldier Dervish's question, swallowed dryly and added one word:.
“Are you that good at waterboarding?.”
“X arm. This thing is so fucked up..”
Several mercenaries swore in agreement with the ponytail Fritz's mutterings. As one of the king's sixteen horsemen, Baron Shaenna seems to have a reputation of his own..
The mercenaries who had gathered in a huddle could not put their weapons in their hands or even raise them, but were only watching me..
I quickly glanced in all directions..
There were approximately two hundred soldiers gathered around. Even if we assume that there are no vigilantes hiding in the back, or rather, a ragtag group of garrison soldiers, there are about a hundred elite soldiers. They all have chain armor reinforced with iron plates and are armed with federal flags and short spears, so they look quite awkward..
Moreover, the real threat was not the infantry, but the thirty or so heavy cavalry lined up in front. I wonder how much strength the cavalry would use in the middle of a village rather than in the fields, but if a third of them were knights, things would be a little different..
When the children of Earth enter elementary school, the children of the Milanol Kingdom's nobles become knights..
Instead of learning Korean and math, children learn sword, spear, and archery techniques, and instead of killing pixel characters with smartphones, they kill big dogs and cows for practice. Instead of entering middle school, he begs to be slapped by all the warriors in his territory to become a squire. Instead of worrying about his score before the exam, he goes to war and urinates, worrying about life and death..
Only a few who survive the process and prove their skills become knights. This is how superhumans who show off magical physical abilities without an ounce of magical power are born..
In addition to those superhumans, the scent of mana was wafting from behind. It could be a magic sphere prepared with awareness of our magic power, or it could be wizards brought by Shaenna. It's probably more likely the latter..
“phoenix.”
The main character with the heavy voice was Utekwa Yi. His chin is black and swollen and has small scratches here and there, but he doesn't seem to have any trouble moving..
The guy's gaze landed on Ellen, who had fainted. It's a look that seems to indicate that the bleeding in the thigh is continuing..
Damn, I know. That's all I've been worrying about since a while ago.
After taking a look at Ellen's complexion as she rested at his feet, he slowly stepped forward. Hrunting was hanging at an awkward angle..
“There are injured people. If you give me time to deal with it, I will cooperate..”
“If so, disarm him first. right now.”
……Such a bitch. I was planning on quietly buying time, but I'm not the type of person you can communicate with..
I opened my mouth, trying to suppress the nervousness and anger rising from my solar plexus..
“That can't be happening.”
“can't do that?”
“yes. I am a knight, not a thief. How can you treat someone like a criminal and then throw away your weapon? How rude is this??”
“Rude? How dare you be an article-”
“I'm telling you in advance.,”
He interrupted Baron Shaenna, who was just raising his voice, and quickly added,.
“Be careful what you say.”
“what?”
“My lord is not the Baron, but Prince Ulkar. If you're going to do it as a knight and all, it would be better to do it to the Baron's knights, not me..”
“This is rude……
Just as she gritted her teeth and was about to say something, a sturdy knight emerged from one side of the siege, pushing through the soldiers, with a voice saying 'Wait!'.
“What on earth is going on??”
“……Baron Innomen? were you here?”
True to Baron Shaenna's perplexed voice, the knight who stepped in front of the soldiers and took off his helmet was Baron Innomen, another king's standard bearer..
“I'm out of my mind. how things work.”
He had dirt all over his armor as he was trying to subdue the soldiers who had been hit by the Vision Hunter's 'mental wave', and he grumbled and looked at Baron Shaenna..
Shaen, with eyes that seemed to demand an answer, I put on the reins and turned the horse's head..
“I was curious as to why the soldiers were struggling. Were they the soldiers led by Baron Inomen??
“I didn't ask first. What's going on? They've all already run away, so what are we going to do with this siege??”
She was silent for a moment. I couldn't tell what kind of expression he was making because of the heavy helmet, but judging by the atmosphere, it didn't seem like he had a very happy face..
“Since unrest has occurred within the base, I am doing the natural thing as a person in charge of security..”
“matter of course?”
“yes.”
“So, we've already figured out the attack that just happened??”
“I plan to do it from now on. To do that, we have to catch them.” In response to Shaenna's firm reply, Nam Inomen rubbed his forehead with a 'grunt' sound..
I felt like their conversation was going to be long, so I watched them for a moment and then quietly backed away. It was to take care of Ellen’s wounds..
“Lord Phoenics and his men attacked our soldiers.?”
“I don't know yet.”
“Then, did you carry out a sabotage operation against the base??”
“I don't know yet.”
“Then shouldn’t we first conduct an inquiry or investigation to understand the situation and then take action? Sir Phoenix is not even a stranger, but he is pointing a sword at you.?”
“After an investigation, if they are found not guilty, they will be released..”
“Baron Shaenna-”
“Baron Innomen.”
Shaenna continued speaking in a low voice..
“As appointed by His Majesty the King, I am the person in charge of security for this stronghold..”
“It's my job to deal with outsiders..”
“It is my role to deal with external enemies. Even if it's a potential enemy.”
“It's my job to distinguish between enemies. and-”
Grabbing his deer antler-decorated helmet, Baron Inomen shot back with a slightly angry look..
“Don't you dare try to misunderstand His Majesty's will..”
“I've never been like that.”
Shaenna continued speaking with a firm answer..
“I will investigate them thoroughly and then provide information. Then, Baron, please decide whether they are enemies or not..”
“Baron Shaenna!”
While the two continued to argue, I poured blood into Ellen's wounds..
Tsutsutsu—
The blood that spurted through the Death King's scaly handcuffs flowed vigorously as if a faucet had been turned on. The blood that flowed into the guy's body attracted the gushing blood loss..
Ellen accepted my blood without any objection. The treatment was easy, perhaps because the body had already experienced it several times..
As the bleeding stopped and the wound healed, Ellen's face gradually became calm. However, because his fainting in the first place was caused by mana exhaustion rather than injury, it seemed like he would need time to come to his senses..
“……phew.”
After confirming that Ellen's breathing was stable, I tried to check on Mungchi and Hayla's injuries, but unfortunately, the two Barons reached an agreement at that time..
““I can’t help it.” With a muttering sigh, Baron Innomen turned to me..
“Is first aid over??”
“……Well, I quickly put out the fire..”
I glanced back at Baron Shaenna and shrugged..
“Thanks to you.”
“Thank goodness. I know it's rude to do this, but could you stay at the castle for a moment??”
“If it's a castle?”
“Raven's Cliff Castle. The courtyard has been cleaned up, so some buildings are now
I can use it.”
……Raven's Cliff Castle.
The palace tower and main building were destroyed by Ellen's fireball, but more than half of the castle walls remained. Depending on the division, there may be parts with intact walls on all sides. Are you trying to trap me there?.
“I won't take off my arms.”
“Nothing will happen. I do not guarantee the safety of the group.”
“ O ”
Instead of answering, I made eye contact with Hayla, who was sitting behind. She looked at me and nodded slightly..
After confirming Hayla's judgment, I sighed and nodded..
“……It can't be helped. I trust you, Baron..”
“okay. Thank you.”
The moment our group and soldiers were about to take away their weapons,.
“Erpe, thral.”
A fierce voice came from somewhere. It's clearly a woman's, but it's a rough voice that seems to have a metallic sound mixed in.…….
“I waited a few days. But do you cut in line? Agbmu?”
It was clumsy Milanese. It was definitely the first time I had heard the voice, but the slurred pronunciation and awkward sentences somehow felt familiar. The same was true for foreign languages that were completely unintelligible..
When I glanced to the side, Utequai, the cause of the familiarity I felt, was looking in the direction from which the voice came from with a stern expression on his face..
“That word……
“be right. prairie horse.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure appeared among the soldiers along with the sound of heavy footsteps..
“Uh oh?”
It was a huge figure, about the same size as me. He was wearing a dark cloak and the hood was pulled down to hide his face. All that was visible was a pair of sword handles sticking out from the shoulders, gloves made of steel, shin pads, and footplates..
“Hey, what is that??”
“What are you doing? Block it!”
Several soldiers blocked his way, but Jang Han waved his arms and continued walking. With that simple movement, the soldiers blocking Jang Han fell down..
“This is crazy,”
“Damn it, just stab it.!”
Several soldiers gritted their teeth and hurled their spears, but Jang Han deflected all of the spears aimed at his face with a hand gesture as if chasing away insects. The rest slipped or bounced off the heavy plate armor under the cloak..
“Gua lune'telil.”
Jang Han said that and then jumped away with a couple of steps..
The cloak fluttered. The giant leaped over the dense crowd of soldiers as if he had no gravity..
“ O ”
I swear, it wasn't an ordinary human being..
For someone of similar size to me to jump to a height of more than 2 meters while wearing plate armor, it was definitely beyond the normal range..
“……stop!”
Baron Lee Nomen, who looked dumbfounded for a moment, realized that the tall man's figure had arrived at a very short distance and pointed his sword at him..
“who are you!”
“He is a person who waits. The one waiting in front of you guys.”
“……what?”
Leaving the confused Baron Innomen as is, Jang Han turned to us. And smiled beneath the hood.
“Zui, zui. Umjragta.”
In response to those incomprehensible words, Ute Kwai asked in a calm voice:.
“Urwha?”
“Ayun lavdi tille hatanka.”
“......tanka'ae. Sueda
orre?”
“Haunde?”
After exchanging meaningless conversation, Jang Han took off his hood with a smile. Suddenly, Jang Han-ui's face, no, the woman's face was clearly revealed between the lit torches..
“Your friends, the stupid faces. I also speak kingdom language.”
Unruly matted red-brown hair, forehead with an X-shaped scar, fierce eyebrows, and sharp eyes..
I recognized her identity at a glance.
berserker.”
“ o Ugh2”
At my muttering, the woman smiled, showing her sharp fangs..
“You know me?”
“be right. I became famous. Tonkumak got it. Storm sword, cool.”
The woman who was chattering wildly looked back at Shaenna, who was dangling her sword from her horse..
“assert my rights.”
“••••.•right?”
“right, my right.”
She held up three fingers and continued speaking confidently..
“I waited for you. For Phoenix. But Urwi is being captured? No. I'm tired of cutting in line.”
Shaenna took the reins as if in a daze and immediately started yelling in an angry voice..
“Who are you that you, a barbarian, come forward without knowing the state system? If your life is precious, get back now.!”
“Hmm, that’s a funny answer..”
The woman who said that took out a piece of stone from her bosom..
“Oumde, I have a funny answer too..”
“Oh my, it's crazy-”
When I saw the pattern engraved on that piece of stone, my mouth fell open..
The woman's expression must have been amusing as she made eye contact with me and her smile grew even brighter. And then he looked back at Shaenna and said this.
“fuck you.”
Kwasik.
The runestone 'Hell Gate of Flame' was broken in the woman's grasp..
