Chapter 314
My Villains Episode 314
56. with change(7)
At the beginning of Dandelli Hill, famous for its top-quality grapes, most of the snow had melted even though it was still mid-January, perhaps because of the good sunlight..
Thanks to this, the bushes and bushes that covered the entire hill were exposed as they were..
If you forcefully drive a horse, you might be able to get in, but a cavalryman who can't move quickly will just become a big target. Eventually we tied up our horses at the bottom of the hill and walked into the forest..
“Here comes the wolf!”
Less than five minutes after setting foot in the forest, the wolves began to attack. Judging by their quick reaction, it seemed like they were on guard after seeing the torches lined up around the forest..
"The wolves didn't bark or growl. They just darted away..
“Kill them all-!”
At the shout of mercenary leader Jaeckel, about 30 mercenaries threw down their torches and shouted loudly. Looking at the way they wielded their weapons, it didn't seem like they had any skills, but the opponent and the situation were bad..
At first glance, the number of attacking wolves seemed to be over 70 or 80..
Moreover, contrary to the expectation that only the leader would be a dire wolf, there were more than one wolf as large as a tiger. They seem to be hybrids mixed with direwolf blood..
Swish.
A large wolf fell silently from an ash tree and chewed on the head of a mercenary..
“Shut up, shut up!”
The mercenary swung his sword, rolling his eyes. Despite his desperate struggle, only scratches remained on the thick leather. The wolf violently shook its maw, and the unfortunate mercenary collapsed, breaking his neck..
“stomach! Watch out above!”
“Crazy, what wolf cubs are climbing trees!”
Jaeckel shouted evilly among the mercenaries who were embarrassed by the unexpected attack..
“Holy X arm, spear! stab with a spear!”
At that shout, mercenaries carrying wild boar-hunting spears jumped out and lashed out at the wolves..
The spear with wing-like protrusions under the heavy blade immediately stopped the wolf's charge..
Crying!
However, the wolves stuck their spear blades into their bodies and struggled fiercely, their yellow eyes flashing..
“Ugh, ugh.!”
The mercenary whose leg was bitten during the struggle screamed in pain as his shin and foot bones were crushed..
The wolf with three spears stuck in its body bent its back, biting its legs tightly..
The mercenary who was thrown to the other side hit his temple against a stone and his limbs trembled..
While the Angry Donkey mercenaries were having a hard time, veteran Confire quickly surveyed the terrain..
“With our backs against trees, we gather together!”
With that shout, the warriors under my command quickly gathered together..
“Inhale！”
The spear, which was thrown straight and quickly, pierced the wolf's side in an instant..
It was the skill of McCaig, a man who was considered the most outstanding among the newly joined mercenaries at Seteniora Monastery. I heard that he hunted greenskins in the Great Mountains, and his spear skills were indeed unusual..
“H- come at me!”
The dervish, a heavy soldier, kicked the wolf whose belly skin was torn and its internal organs spilling out, and raised a war ax that was shining blue..
crunchy!
‘As the thunderbolt flashed, the dervish immediately pulled the sack. The sharp swing of the ax grazed two wolves. The wound was shallow enough to fit half a finger.,
Wake up!
The two wolves, shocked by magic electricity, foamed at the mouth and flipped over..
Dervish, who felt the magic power quickly dissipating, quickly hooked the blue lightning to the inside of the shield, drew out a curved sword, and finished off the two men..
“뒤져, 이 개새끼, 뒤-져!”
Fritz, the ponytail-haired man wearing dark red full-body armor, let out a sharp shout. Afterwards, he tore the jaws of the wolf that attacked him from top to bottom..
keek, keek-
Crackling!
As the wolf's body fell limp, its jaw broken and its spine also broken, Fritz quickly picked up the flail and swung it in all directions. Every time the heavy iron ball cuts through the wind, snap! The wolves rolled on the floor with a cheerful sound..
“Huh, huh.”
Next to him, night watchman Dylan was wielding a pickaxe-like battle hammer called 'Warpick'..
The sharp, heavy protrusion instantly broke the wolf's skull and ripped out its brain..
“After, after—”
Dylan was usually extremely quiet, and this was no different during battle. With calm eyes and slightly open mouth, he quietly took a deep breath and mechanically moved his battle hammer and shield..
As Conwyr, McCaig, Dervish, Fritz, and Dillon created a space around the small chestnut tree, the crossbowman Gidon, the six-man Mittelman, and the poacher Cavas freely fired arrows..
Gidon muttered a prayer as usual, turned the winch and aimed the crossbow. Due to the tremendous tension, the crossbow was fired with a sound closer to a 'pop' than a 'thong'.,
Pak!
Because it couldn't penetrate the large wolves, it was stuck in a tree like a stuffed insect..
Six- man Mittelman looked overhead, holding a torch in one hand and a crossbow in the other. Then, when a wolf climbed a nearby tree and came over to the chestnut tree, I suddenly fired a crossbow..
Cabas kept pulling his shortbow while making stupid noises such as ‘Ew, Ew!’.
His bow was powerful for a shortbow, but not enough to kill the thick-skinned monster wolves..
Still, if I was lucky enough to get an arrow stuck in my shoulder or hip, I had no choice but to go limp, and it was very easy for my soldiers to finish off those guys..
I don't know about kids like Mittelman and Cabas, but the rest were all warriors who could eat more than one serving, so there was no concern from the beginning that they would be defeated by wolves..
So, it wasn't my subordinates that I was worried about..
Wake up, wake up. Even after being cut cleanly below the waist, the wolf continued to wriggle persistently..
“Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.”
I took a deep breath and then exhaled..
The scent that flowed into my nose filled my brain and lungs and then escaped through my mouth. The flavor is so rich that it lingers on the tip of your tongue..
He kicked the wolf, which was struggling with its front paw, forward. It was a light movement, but the half-cut wolf flew 7 or 8 meters, scattering its internal organs..
And then the explosion.
bang
Blood splinters from the blood were torn everywhere..
The beautiful chestnut tree near the explosion broke and made a loud noise, and the wolves lurking nearby turned into rags all over..
Wake up-
I looked back, internally satisfied with the scene that looked as if a mortar shell had landed..
Count Orth was trembling, holding a magic sword with a purple glow on the blade. He looked like he couldn't run away, let alone swing the knife, but that didn't mean he was in danger..
The knights of the Golden Age led by the Marquis of Eavon were particularly outstanding among knights. Well, that means they are powerful weapons of war..
Crumbling.
Even though more than half of their compatriots were dead and exhausted, the wolves the size of bulls did not lose their momentum, only letting out an evil light from their eyes..
Although they looked very threatening, the knights standing in all four directions of Os had expressionless faces and had two-handed swords slung over their shoulders..
At that time, three wolves attacked at once, targeting a corner of the guard formation. It was a deadly double attack, with one targeting the legs, the other targeting the arms, and the last targeting the neck..
However, the knight facing the pincer attack was not particularly shaken. Instead of retreating, he took half a step forward and swung his two-handed sword like a thunderbolt..
enemy! With a flash of sword light, the three wolves that had attacked different places at different times simultaneously spewed blood and sprang up..
The knight who showed unrealistic skills wiped the blood off his sword and returned to his original posture..
“Hmm.”
That's amazing. I think she's a step up from 'Beautiful Esselda', a middle-aged female knight from Longville..
A knight of that level would use his blood magic to the extreme... … Do you think you can deal with about 10 people? No, I think it will be a little difficult..
……for a moment. So the Marquis of Eavon has eighty monsters like that in his care??
It's crazy, I'm speechless.
In fact, I was wondering what on earth Count Orth's guards were up to as they kept pushing Os into dangerous places. I wondered if the Marquis of Eavon had tipped off his subordinates to get rid of his weak successor..
But looking at the knights who were assigned as escorts, it doesn't seem like that is the case. Skills are skills, but isn't he protecting the young count fiercely?.
And Battle Wizard Raph, a monster with his entire body covered in bandages and even a cape, was showing off his skills as the wolves' offensive began..
Glancing at the wolves lurking in the shadows of the forest, he took something out of his arms and held it in both hands..
“At-sh, daridaak zutka.”
He chanted a spell in a strange voice and breathed life into something he was holding. I can feel the mana flowing through my breath..
What was in his hand was a pair of bugs. A bug the size of a finger, with a bizarre appearance that looks like a cross between a scarab and a praying mantis..
The very moment Raph breathed his breath. There was a flash of light, and a pair of bugs as large as a two-story building appeared..
Wow, exactly!
Giant bugs with the bodies of scarabs and the front paws and heads of praying mantises made threatening noises as they clinked their pincer-like jaws..
Then, he flicked his hind feet and flapped his wings at the same time, attacking the wolves like an arrow..
Cheeeeee!
The creepy sound of wings, wow, it's so creepy.
The wolves probably felt the same way, startled by the sudden appearance of monsters and tried to back away, but the bugs were incredibly fast. Wolves were cut to pieces by their scythe-like front paws, crushed by their feet, or eaten by their jaws..
The two giant bugs lost their magic only after slaughtering more than twenty wolves.
It turned into dust and scattered.
As the wolves, who had suffered enormous damage, curled their tails and ran away, Ute Kwai, who was clutching a dark mace in his steel gauntlets, looked somehow dissatisfied..
“What, why do you look like you chewed shit??”
“All of them are small, without a leader..”
Since I couldn't turn the forest into a sea of fire, I left the 'Hell Flame Whip' behind. So Utequai wielded the ‘Hand of Mammon’ and killed the wolves one by one..
“These are all people who cannot burn Daejeonsa. It's no different from a horse..”
“It's not a horse, it's a colt. Wait a minute. A bunch will come soon.”
“ O ugh ’’ —“5“.
As the battle was wrapping up and the situation was roughly under control, a group finally appeared..
“trunnion!”
“Oh, are you here? had a hard time.”
The movements that emerge from the shadows are so agile that you are confused as to whether they came from below or fell from above. Instead of participating in the battle, the group that had scouted the forest brushed away leaves and dust from their capes and pointed toward the inside of the forest..
“There's an ambush 500 steps ahead. The leader wolf is hunting beyond. Hurry up quickly.”
“Are you in a hurry? why‘?”
“The hunt will end soon.”
“The hunt is over? It means the unicorn is being hunted.?”
Mungchi, who continued speaking urgently, tilted his head with a cautious expression and said ‘Uhmmm’..
“I don't know if it's a unicorn, but yes, wolves are successful at hunting..”
“O ugh”
The ambush is annoying, but time is running out. This is a tricky situation..
Judgment was made quickly.
Since the locations of the wolf leader and the unicorn, or rather the unicorn presumed to be the unicorn, were identified, mercenary leader Jaeckel decided to tighten the siege from outside the forest to inside the forest..
I took the rest of the team and headed to the ambush site. Since I didn't know why some people were hiding, I left my men and Count Oss' group behind for a bit, and only Utequwai and I went forward..
“……It's like this.”
The ambush site that the group had pointed out is right around the corner, but there is no sign of it. All you see is just lush greenery..
However, I can feel that the air has become thicker. This feeling of tension or life was proof that someone was pointing a knife at me..
“No need to worry.”
“ huh?”
After standing there lost in thought for a moment, Utequai took three or four steps forward..
“Stop acting like a rat and come out.. ”
His voice is so good that even though he speaks in a soft tone, the surroundings resonate. Perhaps because he was embarrassed, the bushes were shaking all over the place..
“hurry！”
thud! Utequai stomped his feet around the gray wind. The floor shakes like the surface of a drum or gong..
"yourself
——————Staff •
The shaking of the bushes became more intense, and then there was a crack! With a sound, the thin membrane that deceived the eyes was shattered..
“What, what? Why is this like this??”
“Crazy, I screamed and the illusion was shattered.?”
In a place where trees and bushes were intricately intertwined, a little less than a hundred soldiers appeared..
……I didn't know there would be this many?
The unidentified soldiers, who had been hiding themselves using some kind of magic, appeared to have dirt smeared all over their bodies, perhaps to cover up their body odor..
At first glance, it looked shabby, but upon closer inspection, it was quite sturdy, wearing a plate chestplate over chain armor and a plate-shaped iron helmet..
Moreover, most of the dogs were carrying crossbows with windlass attached. It is a heavy crossbow similar to the one used by Gidon, capable of piercing through most types of armor in an instant..
That won't be worth a penny or two... … . What the hell, you bastards?
“Stop making embarrassing noises and shut up, you idiots..”
Surprisingly, what immediately calmed the panicked soldiers was the voice of a young boy..
I was startled by a young voice and turned around to see a small boy, perhaps 140 centimeters tall, walking out from among the thick bushes and soldiers..
“……Hey, how much does this cost?.”
What is this elementary school student??
Jammin, who was wearing leather clothes instead of heavy armor, had dirt smeared all over his body like other soldiers..
Her face was also covered in dirt, but her facial features were distinct, not unlike a child's, and her dainty features and weather-worn expression were clearly visible..
“What are you guys? Why are you interfering with someone else's business??”
“……business?”
“Yeah, business. Can’t you see us? “I worked really hard for a few days and was on the verge of success.” The foul-mouthed elementary school student held up a small crossbow appropriate for his size and pointed it at Ute Kwai in turns..
“Just by looking at it, you are a knight-errant, and this is a barbarian..”
“Then you?”
I looked at the soldiers again and added a question..
“For thieves, their equipment is good. Are you a mercenary? Or a deserter?”
“……under. Hey, knight. I'm sorry, but you don't have a say..”
“Oh, really? why?”
“I can't see this?”
The unidentified Jammin sneered while tapping his crossbow..
“Just one word from me will turn both of you into needle holders..”
As if responding to those words, soldiers carrying heavy crossbows came out at once and aimed at Ute Kwai..
“You say you are trusting in a measly piece of plate armor, and when you look at me, do you think the lives of your comrades are not precious? “Is it because they are barbarians?” I can't help but laugh at that triumphant appearance..
“I'm saying it because you don't know, but if you shoot that thing, the guy over there will be much safer than me.?”
“The tattoo on that guy's shoulder- oh, that's it..”
I shrugged and looked back at the soldiers lined up behind the boy..
“The boss comes out. Don't shamefully put a child with no hair on his dick first..”
After a moment of silence, some soldiers burst into laughter..
“……what? What kind of bastard are you??”
When Jammin purred cutely, the soldiers, unable to hold back their laughter, quickly covered their mouths. The boy glared at them in turn, then turned his gaze back to me..
“This guy, a knight, doesn't have much insight. I'm the boss here.”
“Oh, really? Seeing as he's called a leader, it seems like he's a thief.?”
“Holy shit, that's wrong too. “It’s all wrong!” The elementary school student, who lost his temper, pointed the crossbow and spoke in a clear voice..
“My name is Lujan Alderson of Earth Banch. He is the owner of Cheddar Castle and the lord of Deli Road..”
“......uh?”
A lord? This Jammin?
“Reveal your name, you insolent, shady knight-errant..”
I opened my mouth blankly and then looked back at Ute Kwai who was next to me. Then he made eye contact with me and burst into laughter..
“Hahaha! What are you doing, Phoenix! Hurry up and bow down!”
You crazy guy, this is funny.?
