Chapter 333
My Villains Episode 333
58. reunion(2)
Lightning strikes and burns everywhere, warriors and swarms of locusts roam the night sky, and soldiers' screams and shouts pound the eardrums..
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!
Add to that the sharp cries of the wyverns, and the already chaotic campsite became a complete mess..
“gather together!”
In a situation where it was difficult for anyone to remain calm, young Baron Lujan of Deli Road spoke out loud in a loud voice..
Although the rain of fire was still pouring down, the boy walked around with his back straight as usual. He had a confident attitude, as if he was confident that this disaster would escape him..
“How long are you going to keep your head down? Wake up, gather around!” He ran wild with his sword crossed, but the confusion did not subside. The soldiers who wielded blankets or capes to put out the fire fared better, while there were also those who trembled in fear or ran away somewhere..
“These cowards!”
Lu Yan, who was gritting his teeth, found a soldier hiding in a half-destroyed tent, walked up through the rising flames, and snatched him by the scruff of the neck..
“wallen!”
“Hi, my lord.!”
“Take the crossbow and run outside.!”
“Oh no! I am-”
“Shut up and wake up! Before I stick a knife in your ass!”
As Ruyan pointed out the sharp tip of his sword, the young soldier named Wallen trembled and picked up his crossbow and quiver of arrows..
The boy lord glanced outside the tent, picked up a nearby bucket of water, and poured some on the soldier..
“Ugh, ugh.!”
A soldier who had been bathed in cold water in the middle of winter was emitting steam and shivering. However, Lu Yan paid no heed to him and kicked his butt, and the soldier managed to keep his balance and threw himself into the flames..
Lu Yan went around looking for his soldiers one by one, punching and kicking them..
How long would that be? Not only the soldiers brought from Cheddar Castle and the mercenaries hired from Lianwell, but even stragglers who had lost their superiors during the uprising flocked to him..
“It's dangerous, Baron.!”
A middle-aged knight who was taking care of his command nearby cried out in horror when he saw the soldiers gathering around Lu Yan..
“Spread out your soldiers! If something like an oil jar runs out again, we will be killed.!”
“Don't be stupid and raise your head, sir..”
The boy lord pointed his sword at the sky. The swarm of locusts summoned by Raph, the battle wizard of the Marquis of Eavon, was slowly dispersing, and the dragon knights were only wandering in the sky and not coming down to the ground..
“Can you see it? Their mission is now complete. The real attack will come soon.”
“what is that-”
“The cavalry will come!”
Lu Yan continued to shout as he climbed the elm tree that stood alone in the field..
“If you wander around in a daze, you'll become prey to the cavalry! So join the soldiers under your command.!”
Leaving behind the knight with a calm expression, the boy climbed up to the middle of the tree and looked around. Thanks to the abundant sunlight, the campsite spread out around the road between the hills was visible as bright as day..
“Orrendae!”
On the left, the 'Red Bear' Utequai was roaring, glaring at the night sky..
He seemed to have run out of trees and rocks to throw, and was swinging an iron chain whip engulfed in flames. However, the length seemed to be insufficient to reach the wyverns..
Next to the angry barbarian stood a man with dark red scales all over his body..
‘That… … Is it a woman??’
The scale-armored monster, who must have been a woman based on the clearly fluctuating curves, was watching the dragon knights while holding out a dagger with a translucent blade..
The exact reason cannot be explained, but the monster's appearance gave off an eerie atmosphere..
While Lu Yan was swallowing dry saliva, Phoenix's subordinates were busy moving and preparing for battle..
Although they were small in number, they were one of the most elite groups in the camp. This is because most of the members, including the commander who is currently acting as a commander there, were skilled mercenaries..
‘The left side should be no problem..’
The boy lord quickly shook his head and looked away..
The camp was full of confused soldiers. Perhaps because most of them were conscripts who worked on the ground, they could not easily escape the confusion of night raids..
However, the center of the camp, the area where Count Ost and the Ariaga family's troops were stationed, had already been calmed down..
Well, the soldiers are elites that cannot be compared to other armies..
In addition, due to the wizards' activities, there was less damage from the dragon knights' raids, and the knights of the Golden Age and General McNeil were maintaining their positions as Count Orth's lieutenants. It was natural that the confusion subsided quickly..
“……also.”
Arriaga's cavalry had removed the wheels from the supply carts and were erecting spears made of wooden stakes. It was clearly preparing for a cavalry attack, and messengers were running here and there as if to convey this..
Lu Yan screamed again with a voice that was already half-shocked..
“Gather here! The Blood Mane Mercenaries are coming! Gather together!”
When he repeated the command three or four times, the soldiers gathered around him also started shouting..
“Gather! The bloody mane mercenaries are coming!”
The soldiers wandering around the camp began to gather, attracted by the sound. Afterwards, the soldiers, led by Lu Yan's subordinates, formed spear formations and prepared crossbows..
Lu Yan, who was observing the scene, raised his head and looked in all directions..
‘Knights. Where are the knights??’
Lu Yan recalled that General McNeil had taken an unusual action immediately after entering the plateau..
‘Every night, all the knights were gathered together and put to sleep, except for those who were in charge of command or escort duties. I must have prepared for this situation.' Youngju, a boy who was constantly looking around, noticed cavalry coming out of the hill to the west..
“excuse me! There's an enemy on the hill!”
As if confirming what a soldier had said, a red flag rose among the cavalry crowding the ridge of the hill. The horse with its mane fluttering was a gorgeous flag embroidered with gold thread..
“array-!”
As a rider gave a loud command in Ghelan, the cavalry lined up in a long line..
“That's the Blood Mane Mercenaries.……
Lu Yan fell asleep without realizing it..
Most of the enemies were light cavalry wearing iron helmets and breastplates and carrying spears. However, the rest were wearing full armor, either scales or plate, and some were even equipped with barding..
‘They said they had amassed a huge amount of wealth from the southern colonies. It seems that it wasn't just a rumor..’
Before the boy lord could climb down the tree, the Blood Mane mercenaries began their attack..
“from now on-!”
At the loud command that rang out again, the cavalry began to run, covering the hill. As the number of humans and horses appearing in the shaking firelight increased, the soldiers' agitation became more extreme..
“Wow, there are so many. How many people is that??”
“X8, this is ridiculous. Even if we fought during the day, I wouldn't have been a match for you.……
With the number of enemies exceeding 1,000, the soldiers began to collapse before they could even engage with their opponents..
“Shut up, you idiots! If you come to your senses, those guys are no big deal.!”
Lujan struggled, but the only ones who listened to the little baron's voice were the soldiers who had joined him from Deli Road..
“Do you see those guys armed? If you catch just one guy, you can fix your problem! They say your life can change with just one stroke of a spear.!”
Empty shouts could not hold back the morale that was collapsing in front of thousands of cavalry..
That was when some soldiers finally threw down their spears and turned around..
Doo doo doo doo-
With the sound of heavy horses' hooves, dozens of men and horses jumped out next to the soldiers' loose spears..
“……They are knights.”
“Ugh-”
Although the number was less than a hundred, the riders were all knights wearing plate armor and carrying long spears..
“stay in your place!”
A shout that came from near the head of the knights struck those who were about to run away..
The one who shouted was the cavalry officer whom General McNeil had attached to the knights, but what caught his attention was the bicorn running in front of him..
Crying!
The giant bicorn, with its two-pronged spiral horns, growled and snorted like a wild beast..
The one driving him was Poy Nix, a knight with murderous eyes shining through his dark blue helmet..
While the soldiers paused at the majesty, the knights with Phoenics at the forefront increased their speed. The point of their spears was aimed at the very center of the blood-red mane mercenaries spread out horizontally..
“……Even though they are articles, the pages are,”
Before a crossbowman could finish sighing, ice spears flew out from among the friendly knights..
“Thulam!”
The ice spear fired in a straight line by a battle wizard's spell, Kang! just before it reached the mercenaries. It exploded with a sharp sound. Ice shards flew in all directions..
Hehehehe-
“Wow!”
“Mr. Geese—”
Fifteen men and horses swept away by debris
Starting with the fall of Ussusu, the battle wizards hiding among our knights began pouring out spells all at once..
“wizard, wizard-!”
In response to the cries of the mercenaries, defensive magic was deployed here and there, but it was nearly impossible for the mercenary magicians to handle the skilled battle magicians of the Ariaga family..
All kinds of spells, including fireballs, lightning nets, and spears of power, swept through the cavalry ranks..
“Full speed ahead! Charge face to face-”
Before the enemy commander even finished shouting, Bicorn, who was running at the head of our knights, accelerated quickly..
And Poinix, who was riding there, grabbed the spear that was well over 3 meters long and threw it like a javelin..
Puuk/
“Bent.”
The commander who was yelling and the rider who was following him became skewered and fell from their horses..
Chakang.
The clear sound of metal. Poynix, who was left empty-handed, pulled out the ‘black ice’. As eyes focused on the cold blade, the Bicorn rider raised his left hand with an even colder look in his eyes..
Magical power warmed the blood knight's heart..
The seething blood spread.
Kwagagak-
The remaining men and horses were once again reduced to rags by the bloodshed that broke out among the mercenaries..
The next moment, Phoenix's black ice was drawn. In the blink of an eye, the heads of three mercenaries rose up..
“Shit, kill me-!”
“Wow!”
The mercenaries struggling and gaining momentum were silently attacked by the knights that followed..
Just like that, Phoenix and the knights tore the center of the long column of the Blood Mane mercenaries like a piece of paper..
