My Villains Episode 334
58. reunion(3)
“Phew.”
I let out a hot breath and gathered my energy again..
The blood seeping through the scale armor enveloped the long sword, and the cold air emitted from the black blade froze the blood sword..
Damn it-
2A dark red ice knife that protrudes to a length of well over a meter..
Is it because of the eerie energy (銳氣), or is it because of the cold air emitted from the black ice? There is a cold feeling in the air that even I feel reluctant to hold the handle..
“keep your distance!”
“Those maggot-like knights! Kill them all!”
Mercenaries were clinking in Ghelan everywhere..
As if swinging a pole, I slashed the ice knife towards them. Because the blade was so long, just by moving the handle moderately, the tip accelerated tremendously, leaving a dark red afterimage..
Squeak-
I split up three pairs of men and horses wearing chain armor. The light touch, like cutting onions or sausages, was unbelievable..
Of the three mercenaries hit by the ice blade, two died, but one unlucky one was cut off in half at the waist and survived even after falling from his horse..
“Ughhh,”
The mercenary, face down in the mud, traced the contents pouring down his side with his trembling fingertips..
Crying-
The bicorn growled as if laughing at him and crushed the red lump with its hoof..
“You can't play around.”
He mumbled and tapped the side of the bicorn with his heel. The guy rushed forward in one breath..
“Damn it, lift the window.!”
“for window!”
The cavalrymen of the Blood Mane Mercenaries gritted their teeth and thrust their spears..
Boom-!
Bicorn snorted and shook his head sharply. A pair of spiral horns removed fifteen spears at once..
“What is this-”
It was my job to knock the startled mercenaries off their horses..
As if fighting infantrymen on horseback, or as if bending down to grab a grain of wheat, I enjoyed the superior height of the bicorn and beheaded the cavalrymen..
“Start with the words, target that monster first.!”
“Kill the horse first!”
Among the screaming mercenaries, men carrying javelins or crossbows stepped out..
Most people followed the majority opinion and aimed for the bicorn, but some seemed to be greedy and some arrows were aimed at me, the rider..
“Tskcha.”
When I gently pulled the reins, the bicorn suddenly realized what I meant and spun wildly in its place..
Its skin itself was as tough as that of an elephant or a hippopotamus, so it didn't need anything like barding. As if to prove this, the spinning bicorn deflected all javelins and crossbows..
The arrows aimed at me also bounced off in vain, scratching or hitting the plate armor..
Crying.
Bicorn, who was taking brisk steps, thrust his butt towards the enemies and ground his back foot..
Boom!
Its hooves struck the two horses like sledgehammers. One had a broken rib and was vomiting blood, and the other had his neck broken even though he was wearing barding..
Then, the bicorn crouched and turned around as if it was my turn, and I burst out laughing and swung the black ice..
As they shattered the ranks and added vivid color to the dark red ice swords, a blind javelin flew in from somewhere..
puck.
Hehehe!
Perhaps it was an unlucky hit, or perhaps it was the skill of a skilled soldier rather than a blind javelin thrower, but the spear's blade was deeply lodged in Bicorn's buttocks..
I quickly turned around and pulled out the javelin..
Cry, hee hee hee-
“Stay still.”
When the wound was opened wide by the blade of the spear being pulled out, the guy threw a damn bottle at me for some reason, but I ignored it and covered the wound with my left hand..
Tsutsutsutsu _
Blood driven by blood spurted out through the palms and the Death King's scaly handcuffs. Bicorn's body voraciously sucked blood full of vitality..
Ureung.
When the wound healed to some extent, the bicorn bared its fangs and jumped into the middle of the enemies gathered on one side..
“Ugh!”
“coming!”
When a man about 30 centimeters taller than a good-breed war horse rushed forward with a fierce energy, the cavalrymen were frightened and scattered. Bicorn dug in between them and pounced on the mercenary who had just taken out a javelin from his saddle..
“This is so rotten,”
He threw down the javelin and quickly pulled the reins..
Bicorn caught up with the fleeing mercenary and bit the horse's buttocks. Bicorn flexed his neck muscles and threw away the struggling horse like a sack of rice..
“Ugh-”
The mercenary threw himself from his falling horse and rolled across the blood-stained snow. He ran as if trying to hide himself among the cavalry. However, the bicorn pursued him persistently and finally stuck its horn in his back..
While Bicorn went on a rampage for revenge, a group of cavalry fell apart just by cutting down the enemies he encountered..
“••••••Hmm.”
I felt languid and refreshed as if I had soaked in a hot bath, and I inhaled rich air deep into my lungs..
I feel a little better..
“-kyung! Sir Phoenics!”
When I turned around, I saw a cavalry officer named ‘Seto’ yelling at me..
“Come back now! We'll break through to the right.!”
That's right, I didn't come alone..
While I was having fun with Bicorn, the war situation was moving quickly..
The members of the Golden Age Knights who charged with me, and the knights gathered from all over Antrum were pushing the enemy like a pack of wolves attacking a flock of sheep..
These mercenaries, who were half light cavalry, were all heavy cavalry and had no talent against the knights who were human weapons..
The servants and Ariaga family cavalry that followed to assist the knights were a little behind, guarding the wizards..
Because most of the mana was poured right before entering the enemy camp, the current battle magicians were only escorts with poor horsemanship skills..
“Gather, gather! Ready to break through!”
Seto was a member of the Nudein tribe, and was originally a cavalryman of the Aria family, but his abilities were recognized by Eavon and he became a cavalry officer..
“Repair! Cavalrymen give their horses to knights who are lost or injured.!”
As befits the Nude people, he galloped across the battlefield, showing off his excellent horseback riding skills. It was to command the escort of wizards and at the same time calm down the knights who ran wild..
“Jacobson, Himis!”
When Seto pointed to one side, two of Ariaga's cavalrymen grabbed the reins of the remaining horses and rushed out. The bronze-skinned cavalry officer inspected the battlefield, confirming that the knight who had been struggling after losing his horse returned safely..
I followed Seto's gaze as he took the reins and joined the knights..
The Blood Mane mercenaries suffered a significant blow as the knights, including myself, charged in following the magicians' spells. The number of people who died in that short moment was estimated at over 300, so it was not a small amount of damage..
But it was by no means a decisive blow enough to drive out the enemy..
As expected, the number of Blood Mane mercenaries numbered in the thousands. I couldn't figure it out properly because I was in the middle of a fight.,
“-It's about two thousand two hundred..”
Cavalry officer Seto quickly continued speaking..
“About seven hundred of them will try to capture us. The rest will split into two and attack the main force..”
……If the jjambap accumulates a little, do angles appear just by looking at it??
I thought I knew why Seto, a Nudean, rose to prominence in the military of a prestigious noble family..
When I looked at the battlefield again, the enemies were indeed divided into three groups. One group was surrounding us, the other two were preparing to charge the main force in the camp..
Without any time to judge the situation, Seto raised his voice and gave an answer..
“movement! Break through the siege and immediately hit the enemy on the right.!”
Although the order omitted the honorific, the knights rode their horses in the direction indicated by Seto without saying a word..
“good. Let's go!”
“Lord, watch over us!”
“Death to the enemy! glory to me!”
The knights let out a roar. Their attitude was that they would leave complex matters such as tactics and battle conditions to those Nudein officers and just fight on their own..
“……under.”
Well, I didn't have any complaints either..
The knights, led by Phoenix, quickly broke through the siege and attacked the enemy's right wing..
Cabas, a 16-year-old young poacher who was watching the scene, opened his mouth and made a fuss..
“Wow, that, that!”
Kwaang-
As horses and people flew up in a heap with a faint roar from afar, not only Cabas and his friends, but also most of the mercenaries who were forming the camp groaned..
“••••••crazy.”
“Hey, it's brutal..”
Veteran Confire, who was walking around with soot on his face, frowned and shouted..
“You idiots, stop being distracted and move! the enemy is coming!”
The mercenaries shrugged their shoulders and busily played with their hands at the shouts of the veteran soldier who rarely raised his voice..
Phoenix's men overturned the cart to create a makeshift roadblock and set fire in front of it..
Because they didn't have enough materials, they couldn't prepare the Geomac Spear in advance, but since they had several 'special' powers, it wasn't that big of a problem..
“The power of the Lord is with you; do not turn back! The Lord will reveal the weaknesses of your enemies; do not hesitate.!”
The monk Okan waved his grizzled beard and prayed in his unique, booming voice. He laid hands on each mercenary and blessed them..
When Okan's hand touches his head, white light explodes and power surges from his limbs, and the mercenaries' morale naturally rises..
“Everyone, stay focused and stay in your place at all costs. “Once you start retreating from the cavalry, you will fall endlessly.” The cathedral knight Kabar went to the head of the phalanx, led by two auxiliaries and holding two axes..
The silver ax blessed by a saint was a weapon used to exorcise undead and demons. However, that heavy ax blade was not at all good enough to split a person's head..
“Since you are a cathedral knight, is it okay for you to engage in worldly battles??”
Kabar burst into laughter at the question of Gidon, the crossbowman, whose expression was filled with joy, perhaps thanks to Okan's ordination..
“I would have hesitated if I was playing from this side. But should I just sit back and watch when the enemy is coming at me and my colleagues??”
“That's true, but.”
“Moreover, they are no different from a band of thieves. There's no reason to hesitate.”
The sight of a neat-looking middle-aged man with a neatly grown beard showing off his fierce spirit was very qualitative. Since he truly looked like a cathedral knight, Gidon nodded and said, ‘You are right.’.
Unlike the clergy of the El Ganor Church, Princess Theodora and the fifteen saintly knights could only argue and come to no conclusion..
Some argued that they should not intervene without revealing their identities, while others argued that they should intervene but only provide relief without using weapons..
No one argued that we should fight against the enemy..
There was also a principle that one should not interfere in worldly affairs, and the Calandari Church to which they belonged was rooted in the Mittergeland Empire, so it was unwise to fight against a mercenary group backed by the Elector Counts..
After contemplating for a moment, Theodora chose to intervene without a weapon. Any opposing views were crushed by asserting his authority as the ‘anointed one’..
This news was relayed to Utequoi and Hayla, but contrary to Theodora's expectations, the two reacted indifferently..
“Aren’t you warriors? A warrior helps without a weapon?”
“Paladins are people who are both warriors and shepherds. Even if you leave out the skills as a warrior, it will still be helpful..”
“joy. No need for half-assed help..”
“What?”
Theodora, taken aback by Utequai's words, glanced back at Heila, but her reaction was not much different..
“If you really want to help, don't step forward and just make a promise..”
Heila, wearing iron-blooded armor, kept an eye on the approaching enemy cavalry while speaking in a way that made people confused as to whether she added 'yo' at the end or not..
“Did you say it was a promise??”
“okay… … . I hope people don't make a fuss after seeing blood magic and calling it heresy..”
“…… You're stating the obvious. Isn't the art of blood scheming a technique that has been certified by the Norik Order as being free from negativity?.”
“that's right. But there are people who often forget that..”
Theodora suddenly raised her head at the sight of an ominous sight, but then trembled..
Tsutsutsu.
This is because the blood shed by the mercenaries and their horses, which was soaking the middle of the hill in the distance, formed a large stream..
The blood stream thus created flowed a long distance and gathered at the feet covered in red scales..
“You can promise me?”
The pool of blood flowed backwards and covered the dagger that Heyla held out. The blood, which had become more viscous after passing through the dagger, surged over the head and fluttered like a ghost's cloak..
“……Promise, yes, I promise..”
“thank you.”
Theodora retreated without saying a word, not even noticing that Hayla was belittling her..
