Chapter 410
My Villains Episode 410
63. The Silver Prince's Knights(17)
He filled a bucket from a well in the middle of the square and poured it on his head..
Wow.
“-Phuwak!”
It wakes me up. A lot of soot and dust are washed away by the well water, which is so cold that it stings the back of my neck. After pouring it three or four more times in succession, the scum flowing between the flagstones under my feet becomes transparent..
“Ah, I will live..”
Not even an hour has passed since the last battle ended. As I shook my hair and looked around, I saw that not only the square but the Yeongju Castle, dockside, and even the walls were full of soldiers carrying torches..
“Qut'inak msawlaan analrasifi!”
“What on earth are these people talking about??”
“Mina'lan! harbor! It's the port!”
“Are you going to judge the area now? There are less than 200 of us at most. How are we going to clean it all up? Just one hundred people will follow me.”
“Haram adianole!”
“……You nude man, that was just an insult.?”
They are mostly Nudein soldiers, with some soldiers from the Ulshore and Milgrester families mixed in as well. They gathered prisoners together, intimidated and kicked out fearless citizens, divided and assigned reconnaissance or defense areas, and shouted while reorganizing the troops. That busy appearance is that of a typical occupying army..
Everyone is from different backgrounds and have different command systems, so it's a mess here and there. Fortunately, thanks to the fact that each leader and his close associates ran around until their feet were burning, it did not reach the point where allies were stabbing each other..
“Ugh, I'm glad you came bare-chested..”
The number of troops mobilized for this attack on Proshafen was close to 4,500. Of these, two thousand three hundred were sailors and sailors belonging to the steel fleet, and five hundred to the sailing ships of the Earl of Millslester. There were about a thousand Nudean soldiers, conscripts, and mercenaries led by Atalanta, and the rest were land troops sent by Milgrester and Urshore..
Although the size and composition made me feel a headache, there was no need to feel too much of a burden. Since I left all my men at High Castle, all I had to do was take a bundle and IOPI.-
Boom.
Ah, yes. You should take good care of yourself too..
““Are you still upset?” Grrr. In case someone thought it was a demonic beast, Baikon growled like a wolf..
The guy sitting some distance away from my feet was chewing the pig's intestines diligently. Even though they are already eating their second meal, the momentum is unusual..
“Did you hate falling into the water that much? Even when I swim, I get tired easily..”
When I tried to touch its mane with a chuckle, the bicorn shook its head wildly and gnashed its teeth in the air..
“IC. Okay, I got it..”
Anyway, I have a bad temper. I guess I shouldn't touch it until I fill my stomach..
“trunnion!”
When I turned around at the sound of a strange voice, I saw Inyoung running towards Yeongju Castle with a light, bouncing pace..
The white mask with a mane-like fur decoration - the 'Howling Mask', a rare piece of equipment - is very creepy. Even the soldiers who were busy walking around stopped in shock..
“I searched for a long time. “Everyone said they didn’t know—” It was quite uncomfortable to listen to the low voice, as if coming from an abyss, mixed with the sound of metal. He must have read my expression, so he quickly flipped his mask upwards..
“braided!”
“‘What is salty?.”
At the same time as his delicate facial features were revealed, his once bizarre voice became clearer. I grabbed both of his cheeks tightly with my hands that had shaken off the moisture. Instead of avoiding my touch, it pursed its lips like a carp..
“I guess I can't hear your voice very well.”
“It's not that I can't hear well... … . Don't wear that on a regular basis..”
“yes.”
For the first time in a long time, Mungchi was dressed heavily armed. Of course, he is not wearing heavy armor like other warriors, but rather light clothing as an assassin..
He wore black full-body armor that looked like leather at first glance but also had a matte metal texture - 'fiendskin', which is also rare equipment - and a cape that reached down to his hips, and he wore a leash with the 'Darkness' spell on it..
On the sword belt, he hung a 'cloud sword' and a broken 'geogwol', and on the belt that crossed his chest, several throwing daggers, including a 'blinking dagger', and three small pouches were hung, and on his wrist was a small crossbow. I'm kicking it all the way.
It seemed inconvenient to have so many things on, so I asked if it would be okay to tidy up a few things, but Mungchi would shake his head quite firmly. You must have this level of equipment to be able to ‘work’..
“Would you like to take a shower too? Should I get you some water??”
“to… … . The water is cold?”
“huh. First, just wash your hands and face..”
Despite all the work tools, it looks like the work was completed today with just one shot of the crossbow. I asked the guy while pouring well water..
“How did you get in without getting caught??”
“yes. It was easy.”
The group's target was Prince Ignatz, the High Lord of Angst and the owner of Froshafen. He is not an ordinary noble, but a great lord, so the guard must have been quite strict, but his reaction is extremely cold..
Listening to the story, Prince Ignatz seemed to have never imagined that the port would be attacked. So, he must have left the guards behind and was playing with his concubine in the castle's secret room..
If a skilled imperial knight had been by his side, a magician specializing in detection spells had been on guard, or the prince himself had been skilled in combat, things would not have been this easy. However, Prince Ignatz was only an ordinary man in his 50s, with an outstanding talent for making money, so he went to the other world with a single poisoned arrow..
“Yeah, I had a hard time..”
He grinned and tapped the tip of the bundle's nose. The guy smiled, wondering what was so good about it..
“……funny.”
To be honest, I don't want to ask such an innocent and childlike Munchi to kill people..
However, it is also ridiculous to urge an assassin who already has a wealth of murder experience to stand down while everyone else is fighting. Isn't my current situation comfortable enough to keep such a powerful card in my arms?.
Just today, thanks to him dealing with the prince, the fragmented resistance was easily crushed. If the prince had survived until the end, the difficulty of the attack would have doubled..
Maybe he knew my complicated feelings or not, but after washing his face with cold water, his shoulders were shaking and he was crying..
It wasn't until well after midnight that the situation was roughly resolved. Of course, the flickering torches were still constantly roaming the city, but it was enough for the major commanders to get together and talk about how things were going..
When we arrived at the hall of the residence hall guided by the messenger, many people were already filling up the place. Atalanta with Hareskiss and two clan chiefs, Sir Langbolt with his sergeants and senior captain, Bran the Master and Ogshlizo the Grand Mage of Antrum, etc..
“nicks.”
Atalanta raised her hand with a slightly tired face..
“How neat does it look? I just washed it?”
“uh. I don't have anything to do.”
“A comfortable sound… … . Anyway, you had a hard time.”
“Are you the only one who will do it?.”
As he sat down next to Atalanta, Sir Langbolt, who looked no different from her, waved a greeting and said,.
“Let's wait a moment. The people from Milgrester will be here soon..”
“yes, of course.”
I quenched my thirst with wine given to me by a member of the Earl Shore family and looked out the window..
Like all other permanent residences, Froshaven's permanent residence was also quite high, so it could vaguely overlook the harbor..
The dockside was still burning in places. The power of the red glow was so great that the moon was hidden by black smoke and clouds and was enough to replace the stars..
Beyond the shambles of the harbor, no, beyond the left and right lighthouses occupied by Earl Shore's sailors, a darkness befitting the dawn sea unfolds. The darkness is so deep that the tedious six-day voyage, the four hours of slaughter, and the noise coming from all directions are all blurred.…….
“I'm sleepy?”
“……Uh, a little bit.”
“You can sleep first. I'll tell you the details of the meeting later..”
“it's okay. If Sir Langbolt even said that, the prince would have scolded him a lot..”
“what‘?”
Atalanta narrowed her eyebrows as if she was dumbfounded, and some people, including Lord Langbolt, burst into low laughter..
As I sip the wine again, the shiny red surface reminds me of Count Achele..
……Now that I think about it, that guy actually walked away coolly..
Fresh Blood White kept the deal..
The entire steel fleet and two sailing ships belonging to the Milgrester family were allowed to cross the Blade's Edge Bay, and the iron scale fleet was escorted to this vicinity..
In addition, he intimidated the Black Dragon Fleet and pinned it into the harbor. If it weren't for that help, the naval battle would have been fought on open water. In that case, it would not have been easy to demonstrate the steel fleet's boastful impact tactics, and Atalanta's 'Sphere of Void' would not have had much power either..
I wanted to express my gratitude with empty words for faithfully keeping my promise, but after finishing the work, Count Akelle left without saying a word. By now, the Iron Scale fleet he leads is probably sailing or anchored on an island somewhere in Blade Bay..
……I don't know when I'll be reunited with that guy, but I hope it won't be after the golden statue evaporates..
Just as I was thinking about that, members of the Milgrester family entered the hall..
“dismissal.”
When a small girl appeared, escorted by battle mages and knights, I stood up and followed Sir Langbolt and Atalanta..
The girl was none other than Count Aines. A young great lord in his mid-teens personally led two sailing ships belonging to his family and five hundred elite soldiers and set foot in the enemy country..
“Can I sit here??”
“Do as you wish.”
The girl responded to Sir Langbolt's polite words with a nod and took the head seat. When I took a quick look, Atalanta looked a little displeased, but she didn't open her mouth..
The beginning of the meeting was filled with nothing special. How many troops were damaged, how many prisoners were taken, and what kind of defensive posture was being taken..
As they were about to discuss future plans, Count Aeneas, who had been quietly watching the meeting, spoke up. Most people, including me, were curious as to why this young high lord had come all the way here, so we focused our attention on her..
