My Villains Episode 091

24. boss phase(1)

I stood on the high gate tower and looked across the reed field..

The magic band, which had once numbered well over a thousand strong, was cut in half by the prolonged siege. According to the scouts, there were about 700 men, about twice the number of soldiers guarding the walls..

“Wouldn’t it be worth it if it costs twice as much? All you have to do is defend anyway..”

The person who answered my question was Lord Ariad's squire, Acer..

“Not really. That's seven hundred, they're the real deal who got rid of the middle-class people. The elite troops of the robber barons who rose to fame in the central part of the continent..”

“Hmm.”

“Also, look at the condition of the castle walls..”

At Acer's gesture, I looked at the walls extending on both sides of the gate..

In the aftermath of the recent earthquake, more than half of the watchtower had collapsed..

In addition, the wall about 50 meters to the left of the gate was completely destroyed..

Although a large window was installed in front and the collapsed area was filled with bricks and stones, it was nothing compared to the strong castle wall..

“In this situation, they took out all the old artillery (small guns, ballistas) and even the magicians. I'm saying stop it, I'm saying don't do it.?”

Just as Acer was complaining, all the holes in the middle of the castle wall were empty. Originally, the five old guns and three wizards guarding this place were all stationed in the port..

Was Acer’s voice loud? The knight who was watching the enemies through the battlements looked back..

“Stop whining, Acer. The battle in the port will be twice as difficult as here..”

“Ugh. Sorry, Sir.”

As Sir Ariad scolded, the main battlefield was not here, but the port..

Unlike the magic pirates, whose numbers had decreased due to continuous damage, the pirates stationed on the stone island beyond the bay were relatively intact..

Moreover, the leader of the pirates, the 'Priest of the Deep Sea', and his direct subordinates have not yet appeared..

The Deep Sea Priest, the father of the Unveiled Witch, was probably gritting his teeth in anger at losing his daughter. It will definitely not be an easy fight.

Sir Ankir, who was standing next to Sir Ariad, said with a grin..

“And, Acer. If you're going to complain, don't blame your lord, blame the Phoenix next to you..”

“•••yes? Do you mean phoenix??”

“okay. It was Phoenix who suggested moving all the old guns and wizards to the port..”

“Yes?”

Acer looked back at me with his sharp eyes wide open. I was so embarrassed for no reason that I scratched my head and said.

“When I went underground, I ran into the fishmen..”

“Fishman in the sewer? however?”

“Well, looking at the various circumstances, it seemed like they were in league with pirates. So I advised the prince that he needed to be careful..”

“……Ha, that's how it happened..”

“Well, it's not like the magic bandits use great siege weapons anyway, right? Even if there was an old gun and a wizard, it wouldn't have been that much of a help. ”

“It's okay. How can that not help??”

“•••Is that so?.”

As Acer sighed helplessly, Sir Ariad smiled slightly..

“Anyway, the final decision is yours.

He did it. And, what is there to be afraid of? The fire woman, the red bear, and the bloody swordsman are all here..”

“Ugh, Sir Ariad. Don't say things like that,”

Lord Ariad and Sir Ankir burst into laughter as I cupped their faces..

‘'Fire Lady' and 'Red Bear' were nicknames for Ellen and Utequoi, respectively..

Ellen became quite famous in the city through her activities at the Salt Castle, and her original nickname was the 'Fire Witch'. When Sir Ariad called her the Lady of Fire, he must have purified her in his own way..

Ute Kwai got a nickname even though he didn't do anything in particular. Is it because he is so big and looks unique?.

Or maybe it's because I got into an ignorant fist fight every morning with a well-known name in my own right..

Still, what is a red bear, a red bear? To give someone a nickname based on their skin color, everyone in this neighborhood must be a racecist..

anyway. Me, Ellen, and Utequai became the trio with the most ominous and cheesy nicknames in South Harbor..

“by the way. There's no sign of moving at all..”

“They aren't stupid either. Lord Ankir. They'll be waiting for the pirates to shake the city first..”

Sir Ankir clicked his tongue briefly in response to Sir Ariad's answer..

“Tsk, we already have a small army, but it looks like we're going to be attacked by each individual faction. Since we can't empty the walls, it would be better to go in first..”

The forces currently on the walls consisted of one hundred and fifty gate guards, one hundred and fifty territory troops, and twenty cavalry directly under the prince..

Not only is there a lack of pages, but considering that Yeongji is a bunch of bastards, the average quality is poor..

Sir Ariad, who knew this well, shook his head..

“Are you planning on leading the cavalry into a charge? I'll tell you in advance, this is absolutely unacceptable..”

“Don't we need to chase those guys out quickly so we can help the port? “They are starving, so if we attack them with momentum, they will fall helplessly.” “It would be better to empty the walls, but we cannot use such reckless tactics. Have you already forgotten your master’s instructions??”

“…Wow.”

As Sir Ankir frowned in dissatisfaction, Sir Ariad turned to me and continued..

“Here, trust Poynix and his colleagues..”

As people turned to look at me, I smiled awkwardly..

At that time, a soldier came up to the gatehouse..

““Harold, we are ready!” After receiving the report, the commander looked at Sir Ankir and Sir Ariad in turn. As the two knights nodded, the commander raised his voice..

“Beat the drum!”

Round, round!

Drums began to sound from the nearby castle walls. The formation of the magic bandits lurking in the reed field shook slightly..

Kugu Palace!

The gate made of iron plates opened with a harsh friction sound. A gap wide enough for a carriage to pass through..

The rhythmic beat of drums, the ture of excited horses, the prayers of frightened soldiers, the curses of hungry thieves, the fluttering of high flags, the cries of clever jackdaws.…….

Even in that crowded battlefield, my sensitive hearing was able to distinguish heavy sounds. The sound of footsteps leaving the gate.

When the sound of footsteps became faint enough, a large man appeared between the battlements..

pararock.

White, black, and red feathers danced in the wind. A hat decorated with dozens of feathers fluttered like wings and a tail split in two..

The tip of the formal long hat, which would have reached around the calf if worn by an ordinary person, only stayed at the waist level due to the owner's physique..

The man who was looking down at the reed field slowly turned his head and looked up at the gate tower..

The large man wearing a feathered formal hat and carrying a large stone sword was, of course, Ute Kwai..

After leaving the castle wall and walking about 20 meters, there was no sign of tension on his face..

He just looked up at me with small, pitch-black eyes that showed no emotion..

Somehow, laughter came out and I smiled..

Then Utequai, a berserker wearing two coats of battle makeup with seabird blood covering his eyebrows, cheeks, chin, and chest, snorted and spat on the floor..

……That guy like a dog.

At that moment, Utekwai's chest swelled greatly. Then, he turned his head and started yelling..

“me! Hatanka with Riku!”

……Seriously, that one voice is killer. Isn’t there a loudspeaker in your neck instead of vocal cords??

“Chief, come out!”

Ute Kwai's slurred and stiff pronunciation became an unfamiliar and threatening declaration thanks to the huge voice..

“Kill my tribesmen, pay the price.!”

Whoa whoa.

At that moment, a sea breeze blew from the south. The reed field, ruined by a swarm of magic bandits, was swept by a strong sea wind and turned to the north..

“Hatanka'ae! Su-ray!” At first glance, it seemed as if the reed field was being turned over by the roar of the Utequai..

Even though no matter how loud their voices were, they could not create a wind that swept the earth, the magic bandits were visibly agitated..

Lord Ankir, who was looking down the gatehouse with a blank face, opened his mouth..

“Hatankae, sourei? What does that mean, Sir Ariad??”

“Come on, challenge the great warrior, well, that’s what it means..”

“……It's cool.”

uh? wait for a sec.

“Sir Ariad, do you understand what he is saying??”

Sir Ariad scratched his dirty chin and nodded..

“When I was young, I had a relationship with a tribe in the grasslands..”

“So, does that mean Hatanka is a great warrior??”

“That's right. “It literally means a warrior representing the tribe.” While the berserker's roar erupted again, the old knight took a moment to choose his words..

“It's really amazing to see the Great History of the Plains in a place like this..”

Even while the leisurely conversation was taking place on the gatehouse, Utequai was shouting..

Ute Kwai draped his dolme over his shoulders, showing off his overflowing spirit and strange rhythm. Then it was time to take a step.

‘One step to ‘Hathankae’, one step to ‘Surey’.

With the dolme draped over his shoulder, he straightened his shoulders and back and walked proudly.

was.

“Hatanka'aO! Su-ray!”

As if the magic bandits thought it was no good, six or seven magic archers holding recurve bows rushed out. The horse archers, who quickly closed the distance by flicking the reins, pulled the string with all their might..

nettle!

Half of the arrows that flew in that way missed in vain. And as for the rest, when Utequai's shoulder tattoo glowed black, Ussusu threw his head on the floor.

did it.

“Hatanka'aO! Su-ray!”

A roar erupted again in response to that mysterious phenomenon..

It is clearly visible that the morale of the magic bandits is falling away..

Before we knew it, Utequai was closer to the swarm of magic bandits than to the gate..

At that time, an excited magician jumped forward. It was a magic enemy equipped with fairly good armament, including a round helmet and an ax with a long handle..

“This savage bastard with a loud voice-!”

Behind the horse galloping at full speed, crushed reed leaves were mixed with the dust..

……Well, I don't think it's named. Could it be a looter leader??

Even after seeing the magic enemy attacking him from the front, Utequai seemed unfazed..

I just stretched out the dolme and held the handle longer..

“Kiyaaap!”

As the marauding thief raised his ax with a loud cheer, the dolme began its heavy rotation..

“Hmm!”

The heavy rotation accelerated in an instant thanks to Utequai's monstrous strength and the weight of the pendulum..

Wow!

A horse that was hit on the ear by a large rock was unable to scream and fell sideways..

“Holy shit-”

The rider, too, couldn't finish his curse before his head was crushed..

Utequai let go of the dolme and stretched both hands toward the sky, as if in a ceremony..

“Athar Marta! Shiko rec'ne!”

Several eyes, including Lord Ankir and mine, turned to Lord Ariad. The ugly old knight opened his mouth with a smile on his face..

“……‘'Mother, watch over me!' It's called.”

A barbarian's provocative actions caused a series of foul-tempered demons to come out..

As befits thieves who know neither honor nor manners, they attacked Utequai all at once..

However, arrows and javelins could not do any damage to it, and sometimes, if the weapon was lucky enough to touch the red skin, the black aura would repel the enemy..

As fifteen magic enemies were defeated in an instant, Named finally emerged from the center of the enemy line..

“Grrr, *purr* Grumble!”

A rough, heavy voice that sounds like boiling phlegm.

Skin that looks as if it is studded with stone fragments and rough hair that grows sparsely all over the body..

Long arms below the knees and sagging belly fat.

My hideous naked body is clearly exposed because I am not wearing a single piece of cloth..

The boss phase's random name was 'Scale Ogre Haklio'..

……Holy shit, the real Harklio is popping out.?

Haklio in the game was the most evil among the randomly named characters that appeared in the boss phase..

The spec itself is a gangster, but it is full of annoying characteristics, and it is literally the worst name..

So far, I've fought 'Poison', 'Iron Bone', and 'Golden Molly', and also met 'Altar'. But this time it’s Haklio.?

Really, the random elements are filled with only the most shitty things?…….

At that time, someone pulled the hem of his cloak..

“trunnion.”

It was Ellen who was sitting on a chair in the back..

“……Why is your face like that??”

“why is my face?”

“You're making an expression like a grumpy puppy. unluckily.”

Contrary to his harsh words, his eyes showed concern..

“It means I look like a dog, that means?”

Ellen sighed as if she felt sorry for my question..

“You're really upset, you know. That's why you don't just pick up anything and eat it..”

“……How can you not say a word?.”

With a faint smile, he held Ellen's arms. Has he slowly gotten used to it now? Ellen wasn't surprised and leaned in, wrapping her arms around my neck..

“Now, our ‘Fire Witch’ should step forward too..”

“Please don't call me that stupid nickname.”

“Bouncing. Although the map is good.”

“……Who likes it??”

“Who is it, you? The night before yesterday, in my sleep, I heard 'The Fire Witch Appears!' It was like this, Kek.!”

Ellen, whose face was red, was strangling me, so I kept my mouth shut and walked towards the palace tower..
