Chapter 394
My Villains Episode 394
63. The Silver Prince's Knights(1)
I feel like I fell into the water.
My ears are ringing, my eyelids are heavy, my whole body is floating.…….
“ ah.”
It's a dream.
It wasn't difficult to realize where this was. It's been three months since the quasi-dimensional 'Dream Territory' was taken over by me. In my dreams I am like a god.
As I was about to dismantle the realm of dreams that had been created arbitrarily based on my subconscious, I suddenly looked around..
A small playground with fine sand.
It's a very cozy scenery. It's been a long time since I had a dream, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a look around.…….
“uh?”
shrill.
When I turn around, I see a girl who is about a head shorter than me..
“Uh oh•••••♦
Purity overflows from the wide-open eyes. Those transparent eyes look into me.
“why?”
“Seungsu oppa?”
“……huh.”
I was dressed in a gray jumper with a hood. It's not an expensive outfit, but it's clean and without a single wrinkle..
The child wore a white dress with red and blue flower petals. You must have played so hard that there is a lot of sand on the hem of your skirt, the back of your hands, and your knees..
“Ugh.”
The child tilted his head for a moment and smiled brightly..
“Oppa, try it too.”
And he points to a small sand house..
The scenery of the playground and the gray jumper become the weft, and the child and the sand house become the warp, intertwining with each other. The colorful fabric woven like that completes a scene from childhood..
I looked down at the sand house and squatted down..
“how do you do it?”
Grinning, the child held out his hand..
“Thick, thick, I'll give you an old house, give me a new house……
Pat, pat, hum a familiar song while building a mud house. Then the child looked straight into my eyes..
“why did you come back?”
“ huh‘?”
Once again, transparent eyes look into me.
“Did you get a new house? But why did you come back to your old house??”
Noticing the implications in the clear voice, I held my breath..
“You've never played with me. Because you can't bury it in the dirt.”
“••••♦•I?”
After WO ” •
A faint memory comes back to me.
Fairy Wang Moam, that is, a child who lives at a local shaman’s house. It seems familiar for some reason, but I've never talked to this kid before.…….
“……you,”
“Suyeon is my older sister..”
I turned my head to follow the child's glaring gaze..
“Hey, Seungsu Kim!”
Another girl, who appears to be about three or four years older than me, approaches me with her bag hanging. I missed him so much that I opened my mouth and said, “Heh.”.
“Play alone again?”
“alone?”
While I was paying attention to my sister for a moment, she disappeared from nowhere and only the old sand house remained..
Googungung.
“••••••uh.”
The realm of dreams, which had been arbitrarily decorated using the unconscious as nourishment, was once again collapsing at will. The sand house and playground are collapsing..
“ ah,”
With the belated determination, the collapse was stopped and restoration began. However, the seesaw, swing, and slide that came back up did not look the same as before..
As time engulfed the playground, Seungsu in a gray jumper became Phoenix with a sword..
I closed my eyes because I couldn't bear it. The gaze inward scans the unconscious..
Slowly.
However, it was not the fairy's child or young Kim Su-yeon who came out of the deep dark world..
“••••••what.”
“This is what I want to ask.”
A voice cold enough to give you goosebumps.
Before I knew it, the playground was covered with urethane that smelled like oil, and a black figure was standing on top of it..
“This is
Black scales covering the entire body, hook-like nails, large, sharp horns, a thick tail, vertically slit pupils, and bright yellow eyes..
“Hmm, was it a trip down memory lane??”
A terrible monster resembling a reptile looks around..
“Still, I'm impressed. You invited me?.”
“It sounds like an invitation. Why does it pop out at will? Damn it.?”
“Does it pop out at will? I?”
It hissed, lashing out its forked tongue..
“This is ridiculous. You were the one who brought me out of a sound sleep..”
“This parasitic bastard talks back and squeaks.”
“You - Gehehe,”
The monster didn't say anything and fell forward, clutching its chest. It was because its heart suddenly stopped. The way it scratches its chest with its body curled up like a ball bug looks just like a bug sprayed with insecticide and squirming..
“Hehehe, hehehe-”
For a moment I was writhing in pain.
As my heart began to beat again, the monster glared at me, drool flowing from its protruding snout..
“pup.”
“Ha, what? say it again.”
It crouched down and shed bright yellow blood. That was it..
“It's because you've been so nice lately, so take care of yourself..”
“……Are you being nice? who?”
“You little lizard.”
“aha.”
The mouth is torn long to the left and right. Fully protruding saw-tooth teeth are revealed. A smile that is undeniably hideous.
“Yes, yes. I saved us. Thanks to me, my life was saved.”
““Don’t be so proud, because it makes you want to beat them up.” “No matter what you say, it doesn’t change the fact that you benefited from me..”
The whisper of a monster crouching on the urethane floor with flashing eyes did not pass through my ears, but scratched deep in my heart..
“You tore me up and locked me up with your dirty selfishness, but I showed noble self-love. You tore the disgusting beasts that you didn't even want to touch to pieces and killed them, holding on to their bleeding hearts. okay.”
The monster, with its hideous body covered in scales, crouched down as if hugging itself..
“we need me As much as we need you.”
“……That's odd. Why do bed bugs make dog noises??”
“Hehehe-”
......I'm tired.
I don't know if it's because I'm using up my mental energy to operate the quasi-dimension, or just because I'm stressed, but my head is starting to feel heavy..
I should have woken up as soon as I realized it was a dream, but I slowly regret not doing so..
“If you want to continue living as a parasite from now on, you'd better act like you did this time..”
“Like this time?”
“Do only what is necessary to survive. Don't harm your colleagues or go crazy at will..”
“flaw.”
Again the hissing sound tickles my chest..
“Are you asking me a favor??”
“Damn. It's not a request, it's a warning. If you make a mistake, I'll turn you into powder and burn you, so be careful..”
“Ugh, I'm so scared my legs are shaking
But.”
I get so annoyed by the sight of the monster acting so cruelly..
I wanted to take care of him for a while, but the headache seemed to be getting worse because my head was getting hot. I gestured like I was annoyed..
“Get out of here. And please don't show up until I call you..”
“That's right.”
As the realm of dreams was scattered, the monster crawled into the black hole that had suddenly appeared and looked back..
“As always.”
With the artist's smile full of fangs, the dream is over.
2Towards the end of the month, drizzle fell in the Obdorf region, bordering the Kingdom of Milan. The wide grasslands unique to the eastern part of the empire were soaked with moisture and colored deeply..
It must have been a very peaceful scene. If it weren't for the 2,000 large and small military tents spread out around a low hill..
In the deepest part of the numerous military tents lined up in rows and rows, there stood a majestic tent, perhaps four or five meters high..
A fierce shout came from the tent, which boasted a luxurious yellow color..
“These idiots-!”
About twenty men and women dressed in colorful clothes or armor, regardless of age or status, had their heads bowed. The person sitting at the head of the table looked very nervous or scared, as if he were a fire-breathing dragon..
“Even if they sweep the entire West, they won't be satisfied, but they're desperate because they can't get over just one city the size of a rat's tail.!”
A middle-aged man sitting on a chair with a high back continued to pound on the table, pouring out words at rapid speed..
“Besides, now what? Is supply at stake? under! The incompetence is so amazing that it's scary, it's scary.-!”
The man of majestic stature wore a shiny silver breastplate and a long-length coat. He wore a total of six jewel rings on both hands, as well as a belt, boots, and pendant that could be immediately recognized as a magic tool just by looking at its subtle shine..
“Things have come to this point because all around me are incompetent little people who can't handle even a handful of cavalry! Didn't you learn your lesson even though you made salted fish and served it to the mean mercenary commanders?!”
Bang, bang, bang!
Every time a hand like a pot lid hit the table, those who bowed their heads shrugged their shoulders. The middle-aged man, whose face turned red, kept swearing without stopping..
“‘You can't catch the 'Red Knight', you can't catch the 'Giant Knight', you can't catch the 'Red Bear', you can't catch the 'Painter'! What on earth can these Imperial Knights do?!”
Among those gathered in the tent, there were few who were not nobles, but not a single one had the courage to talk back to the middle-aged man's verbal abuse..
“Please someone tell me what the problem is! Was your mother raped by a goblin? Or is the head full of shit instead of brains? “Say it, you idiots, idiots, maggots!” The owner of the five provinces, including Topal, is the head of the Strom family with a four hundred year history, and the anger of the middle-aged man, who is said to be the most powerful elector of the empire, was that much fearful..
“That's right, I guess I'm just thinking about going back home as soon as possible and picking on my concubines! You guys don't even know that you're playing around with goblin bastards who look exactly like Rain, who is your wife and concubine.!”
It was only after the Duke of Avilambus had been struggling for a while that he finally began to catch his breath..
“Whoo, whoo, whoo!”
As soon as he showed signs of calming down, the man sitting in the front row among the commanders who were watching him from the corner of his eye quickly opened his mouth..
“I'm sorry.”
“……Apologize? I'm sorry?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I feel deeply responsible, and if you would give me permission, I would even sacrifice this incompetent man's head. In this way, please establish strict military discipline and reorganize the battle line..”
“……The words are always flashy. Then, if the head is really cut off, don’t you think it would be a dog’s death?” Although it was sarcastic, the duke did not order the commander who spoke in the end to be honest. 'Captain Buakan' is a vassal who has served the Strom family for as many as 5 generations, and was a vassal whom the Duke regarded as a friend..
“I would like to ask your Majesty to ease your concerns.,”
Like a boiling kettle cooling down, the duke seemed to have calmed down a bit. Then Captain Buakhan bowed his head and continued speaking..
“First of all, the cavalry fighting guerrilla warfare in the rear will be cleared out soon.
It is.”
“The Dragon Knights should be ashamed of themselves. The self-proclaimed ‘knights of the firmament who rule the sky’ are unable to catch even one of the cavalrymen crawling on the ground..”
“You'll just have a hard time as the giant knight moves through the swamps and forests, whipping the cavalry around, and eventually you'll run out of strength. As you said, there are only a handful of troops, so it will be resolved naturally by leaving the tracking to the Dragoons and firmly guarding the supply routes..”
The duke crossed his arms in silence, and the captain continued speaking..
“Although the troops have been damaged in the past battles, the size of our army is still well over 10,000 and their morale is strong. On the other hand, the enemy lost as much as 20% of his troops there, despite having very little troops, and the castle was also severely damaged.-”
“Are you kidding me? You brag about how much damage you inflicted while losing over 3,000 troops.?”
Just as the duke's voice was about to rise again, Captain Buacán bowed his head even deeper..
“Putting aside the troops and castles, didn't our army achieve great results by following His Majesty the Duke's strategy?.”
“……You mean the silver prince??”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Duke Avilambus tilted his chin and narrowed his eyes..
“Doesn’t that guy have the blood of the Jeore family, that vicious bastard? I'm not the type of person who will fall down due to a mere accident..”
“I also don't believe that Prince Eun is completely dead. However, there is intelligence that not only is the enemy's military spirit shaken, but even Prince Silver's close associates are shaken..”
“Do you believe that??”
“Since the four Sejaks who entered High Castle through different routes are saying the same thing, I don't think this is groundless intelligence. At least it is certain that something has happened to Prince Silver..”
Duke Avilambus clicked his tongue and shook his head..
“The author, who had been in the military all his life, became naive. Prince Silver, that guy is a conman who is good at all kinds of tricks. He must be hiding deep in the city right now, plotting dirty tricks..”
“Of course, that could be the case, but there are some pretty reliable sources of information other than the Sejaks..”
“a reliable source of information?”
“I reported this a few days ago, do you remember? A young man surrendered while carrying a blind old man on his back..”
“……That happened.”
“I found out who they are.”
As the duke raised one eyebrow, Captain Buacán smiled..
“You're very confident. But who are you??”
“The old man's name is Ariad..”
“……Ariad?”
“The Silver Prince's viper..”
The duke's eyes widened in an instant..
