Chapter 420
My Villains Episode 420
64. fog(7)
Until just a few tens of minutes ago, the Nudein warriors were an elite force that was brave, powerful, and disciplined..
However, the story was completely different now that Atalanta the Leader had retreated from the battlefield after being mortally wounded. They were no longer warriors or elite soldiers. They were nothing but ferocious and cruel marauders..
“Aalu-kum jamien!”
“Oishian!”
The looters scattered in all directions, shouting incomprehensible slogans. They let out a strange roar like 'Arrrrrr/'.
The fire that started in the mayor's residence soon spread throughout Eisbowald. The fog-covered city was turned into hell by less than four hundred warriors..
“You crazy people, stop!” As I shouted harshly, the Nudein warriors who were setting fire to the buildings along the main street looked at me in surprise..
“There is an enemy resisting the South Gate! Everyone quit this bullshit and gather together!”
After yelling, the chaos subsides. But that only lasts for a moment, as soon as I turn around, the road I passed is bursting into flames..
“Oh, the plague.”
It was a mistake to send all the Hares kisses, including Agos, to the injured Atalanta. Without Atalanta, the leader, and Hares Kiss, the mid-commanders, there is no way to control those bastards..
The Hareskis, who numbered close to 150 when they left Auduenne, were reduced to less than 50 when they reached Eisbowald..
Because Atalanta, the target of the guard, took the lead in every battle, many people were killed or injured. In addition, as Atalanta's henchmen, more than fifty people were deployed to Froshafen and other occupied areas..
There are about 30 people currently guarding the injured Atalanta. In other words, there were less than twenty Hareskiss commanding ordinary warriors..
Since the Hareskiss had not received any professional training or experience as officers, there was no way that just a dozen of them could have controlled over four hundred warriors..
“Untibie kavilos! Undum~!”
Among the Hareskiss remaining on the battlefield, there was even one that took the lead in attacking a private house... … . It's really varied.,
these guys.
I turned Hares Kiss into a half-asshole and turned around, but I saw a familiar face..
“hey! hey!”
He was a middle-aged man wearing scale armor and a feather cloak. He was wielding a spear with a red flag hanging from it, but at first glance it did not appear that he was swinging it at enemy soldiers..
“Hey, this dog!”
Fifteen warriors were positioned near the middle-aged man. I knocked them down, walked up to the middle-aged man, and punched him in the face..
match!
“Ugh,”
Maxiago, the clan chief of ‘Jaladub’, one of the three clans led by Atalanta, looked back at me with a distorted face..
“Huidin mawzir - Lord Phoenics‘?”
“그래, 나다, 이 개새끼야.”
I grabbed the collar of the guy who was looking at me with perplexed eyes. He blew the air from his ears again and growled lowly..
“I can't stop the rampaging subordinates, but the bastard called the clan leader is leading the charge. Are you a sane new kid??”
“What on earth are you doing? I can't let go right now!”
“Even the words are short, you bastard.”
This time, I swung my fist instead of my palm. When I cut the bridge of my nose short, my nose bone sank. Maxiago screamed..
“Asumiro!”
“K'nat-”
Maximago's guards flinched as if they were going to attack at any moment. For a moment, as I silently glanced at them, they retreated as if they had stepped on a snake..
I held Maxiago's collar tightly..
“Take care of this mess right now. If you keep messing around like this, I won't give you a piece of land, just as the prince promised..”
“Off,”
“okay?”
The guy was just holding his nose, which was bleeding, and making noises..
“I don't answer?”
I was anxious because of the enemy army remaining in the south. He twisted and broke one of Maxiago's fingers that was covering his face..
Grumbling.
“Hahahahaha!”
“알겠냐고, 이 개새끼야.”
“Ah, I understand. I'll take care of it-”
Puzzle.
“Ugh! why, why,”
“말투, 개새끼야.”
I left behind Maxiago, whose face was covered in tears, snot, and blood.
headed towards.
“Sir Phoenics!”
While wading through the fog and smoke, I encountered Lord Langbolt. To be precise, I had come to the gathering place of the Earl Shore army, but anyway..
“Sir Langbolt, what is the situation??”
“Most of the enemies have been defeated. Except for the few who are resisting in the tower near the south gate..”
“Mayor, did you catch that guy named Patsy Horse??”
It seems that Lord Langbolt also had a hard time breaking through the gates and stirring up the city. The blue cloak I loved so much was covered in ash, dust, and blood, so I couldn't even tell its color..
“he is dead.”
“yes? what is that.”
He got off his war horse and shook his head gravely..
“This is a story I also heard from an officer of the Milgrester family..”
“You decided to capture the mayor alive. You know that too..”
“It is said that while leading the unit from the front, he was hit directly by a fireball. There was already so much fog that there was nothing we could do..”
“this••••♦•
Eisbowald is a sizable city, with a population of well over 5,000. On the other hand, our troops are only seven hundred, no, they must have been more damaged in this battle, so they are around six hundred..
In this situation, the Nude people spread a lot of shit in the city center. If what they had done spread, hostility toward our troops would soar among citizens..
The plan was to capture Mayor Passyhorse and appease him somehow to take control of the city, but even he died. He was a very fierce warrior who will go down in history..
“……Fucked..”
Rather than moving troops in response to Ulkar's plan, I was worried about whether I would be able to defend the occupied territory..
I held my forehead and sighed, then suddenly raised my head..
“So, what did you do with the mayor's body??”
“I heard that all that was left was a lump of burnt flesh and there was nothing to clean up. Why, are you going to check it yourself??”
“no, that's not it......
I explained a brilliant idea that came to my mind in an instant..
When the story ended, Sir Langbolt's face suddenly hardened..
“therefore… … . The plan is to blame the arson of the Nudein warriors on Mayor Passihos.?”
“As long as the prisoners taken at the south gate are kept well, there is no need to worry about being caught..”
“The prisoners aren't the problem. What kind of fool would believe such a lie??”
“From the perspective of the citizens of Eisbowald, they were surprised when the fog was already heavy. Who knows whether the mayor was actually at the South Gate, or whether he took the treasure, set fire to the official residence, and ran away.?”
Sir Langbolt narrowed his brows and spoke in a slightly angry voice..
“Although he was an enemy, he was an honorable man. How can you put such a stigma on someone who worked hard to the end to fulfill his responsibilities??”
“Then? Should we smear our prince's face instead of him??”
“……What does that mean??”
I smiled bitterly and shrugged my shoulders..
“Whether it's the Nudein or whatever, isn't it our prince's army after all??”
“Will they spread rumors that soldiers sent by the champion of the weak set fire to houses and killed innocent citizens??”
He kept his mouth shut..
I sighed deeply and added,.
“There is no need for you or me to step forward. It happened to be close to the back alley of this neighborhood. The gangsters will talk so hard, the rumor will spread quickly..”
‘Deozen, the ‘salt seafood seller’, was a man with great tenacity and a certain venom..
If we just deal with the rival, whether Hoblu or Hobalu, he will become the leader of the gangsters in Eisbovald, and then spreading a rumor around the city won't be an easy task..
Sir Langbolt lowered his head and tried to smooth his mustache, but then stopped himself and stroked his eyebrows. Can't I touch my beloved mustache with dirty hands?.
“It's painful.”
“Isn’t that what war is all about?.”
“……okay. yes.”
“Please take the central area. I tried to threaten the Nudes, but I'm worried that they might do something useless again..”
“I understand. go now.”
After speaking, I was about to head towards the south gate, when Sir Langbolt stopped me..
“for a moment.”
He took the reins of his war horse and held them out to me..
“It may not be as good as the bicorn at the military camp, but it will be worth riding for a while..”
“yes? What about Kyeong-eun??”
“I have to keep pace with the soldiers anyway. All you need to do is get on the horse and get in shape.?”
“……hmm. Thank you, Sir.”
“thanks.”
When I was handed the reins, Sir Langbolt added after a short hesitation:.
“Sir, I am also a knight serving His Highness Prince Ulkar. Moreover, the Lord is a commander who has been entrusted with one aspect by His Highness..”
“don't forget that.”
I nodded silently and got on the war horse..
When I rode on the courser given to me by Lord Langbolt, I saw that Nammun had already been subdued..
All of the commanders and commanders of the castle gate guards, including Mayor Passyhorse, were killed or captured. It was rare for ordinary soldiers to walk on their own feet, and those who did were quietly restrained..
I headed to the place where the final battle took place, asking the non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the Milgrester family..
“Sir Phoenics.”
Fogan, an officer of the Milgrester family, approached and saluted..
I looked back at the tall, narrow watch tower and the hundred or so soldiers surrounding it, and narrowed my eyes..
“Is it there??”
“Yes. It will probably be difficult to subdue-”
Before he finished speaking, I got off the horse and made my way through the soldiers to the tower..
Of the more than a hundred soldiers, half were surrounding the watchtower, and the other half were busy transporting the wounded and corpses. Looking around, it seemed like about a hundred of our soldiers were killed or injured here..
This means that the soldiers of the Milgrester family, who occupied the castle wall near the west gate and swept away the south gate at once, injured as many as 100 people in this one place..
“shoot!”
At the command of a non-commissioned officer, the archers and crossbowmen in the surrounding area fired arrows all at once. Fifteen arrows poured into the entrance of the tower..
“Wow!”
“Off—”
Guarding the tower were four men and women. Three of them, looking exhausted, fell down after being hit by arrows..
In the meantime, one person was fine. Of course, you can avoid arrows with a gliding walk.-
Tadang!
He even swung his sword slowly and knocked out three or four arrows..
“……Wow, crazy. what is that.”
The archers were not ordinary hunters but elite archers and crossbowmen of the Milgrester family..
Arrows were objects with heavy cross points, bows were objects that could only be drawn by long-trained merchants, and crossbows were also objects that one could not even dare to load without a windlass. Even the distance was quite close..
“But I dodged that thing and hit it.?”
It was a skill that I could not possibly imitate. If it were me, I would have just hit it with my body and not even tried to swing a knife to strike it away..
“Beok.”
“do, grandpa.”
At the feet of the swordsman demonstrating his skills, a young man gasped with an arrow hanging from his side..
“As for me, I'm fine..”
“stop. don't say.”
He was an old man with gray hair and even eyebrows..
His back was straight, his posture was very confident, and he was as big as me. He was wearing light plate armor that covered only his vitals and joints without a helmet..
The only weapon he had was a sword held in his right hand. It was a sword with a short handle that could only be held with one hand. On his left hand, he wore a sturdy-looking iron glove. I recognized the identity of the old man at a glance..
Grimmons Koval.
‘He was the founder of 'Kova Ryu' and the most famous and oldest of the existing sword masters..
Despite the wrinkles on his face, the old man had an air that was even more pagoda-like than the pagoda behind him..
“trunnion.”
While I was shivering at the atmosphere emanating from Grimmons, I heard a familiar voice..
A creepy, low-pitched sound. It was a bunch wearing ‘howling masks’..
“Uh, you're hurt.?”
A lump appeared out of nowhere, leaving a long mark on my right thigh. The strange black armor he acquired after becoming the master of the Pasa Sword was sharply divided..
“A little bit. I passed by the end.”
I traced the wound with my fingertips and tried using blood manipulation techniques. Luckily, it wasn't a deep wound like Mongchi said..
I was a little worried because I was wearing equipment that left me confused as to whether it was armor or leather, but it seems to have done its job..
“I failed?”
Mungchi quickly shook his head..
“no. I succeeded.”
“……It was successful?”
“yes. I succeeded, that's it.”
Sir Benlow, a knight of the Milgrester family, was leading about twenty heavy soldiers and attacking the old man..
However, Grimmons cut down the soldiers without much effort. Lord Benlow, wearing hard plate armor, also retreated, bleeding profusely from his armpits..
“uh.”
At that time, I noticed that the old man's chest was twitching. The blood reflecting on his lips.
“under. That's what I'm addicted to?”
I opened my mouth in sincere admiration..
That old swordsman was demonstrating such skills while addicted to a deadly poison that could kill more than twenty people..
