My Villains Episode 106
27. Mountain hut (2)
Wedge!
He leaned back towards Utequai and quickly raised his shield.
Tongue.
An arrow smeared with feces gets stuck in the shield.
“What the fuck. Utequai, get out!”
Before I could finish speaking, Ute Kwai took out his stone sword and launched himself into the forest.
“Dumb!”
A battle cry in Milano. He is a guy who adapts very quickly.
Fifteen arrows rained down on Ute Kwai as he rushed into the bush, but as the black light flashed, all of them ended up hitting the ground.
I screamed as I watched the scene.
“Never mind the left! Look to the right!”
I shouted and fumbled around inside the carriage.
A familiar grip. As soon as she grabbed her javelin, she threw it with only her shoulder strength.
“Kkiheek!”
A small figure holding a bow was thrown out of the tree with its stomach pierced.
A child-sized body with green skin, a hooked nose, sharp teeth, and a harsh voice. It was a goblin.
It trembled in pain and scratched the ground, but there was no time to finish.
Second javelin. It brushes past the goblin who was holding a dagger while disguised as a tree branch.
puck!
A missed spear gets stuck in a tree. The spear swings loudly and strikes the camouflaged goblin in the face.
“Keek, Geeek!”
The guy grabbed his face and rolled on the floor. Goblins are weak to pain.
Third javelin. Aiming at the shaking bushes, it pierced something. You’re lucky.
At that time, something transparent passed before my eyes.
Shoo!
As I turn my gaze to follow Pagongseong, a goblin with icicles growing on its forehead falls backwards. This is the frost pick that Ellen used in the carriage.
“Koagral—!”
Goblins jump out from the bushes with a muffled shout.
Even though it is a close fight, you cannot let your guard down. They fire arrows at their comrades regardless of whether they hit the back of the head or not.
“Whoop!”
Still maintaining his stance, he swung his Hrunting towards the attacking guys.
Three ugly heads hanging around my waist. It soars into the air, splits, and breaks.
“Toviak! Quaksaka!”
Despite the death of their compatriots, six or seven goblins arrive, wielding crude spears and daggers. It is an action born of hunger and foolishness rather than courage or fighting spirit.
The blade, soaked in goblin blood, glows dark green and pulsates.
“Huh.”
My body, which had cooled down at first, becomes hot again.
“Ki ek!”
“Ardai! Tzatguwi!”
A frost pick fired from a carriage pierces the goblin’s head. I’m thankful for getting rid of those annoying guys, but I’m also somewhat disappointed.
He blocked the occasional flying arrow with his shield and cut down the approaching goblins one after another.
It was then.
Kagagak!
“Tsk, X arm.”
An arrow fired from the tree in front of me grazed my helmet.
My instinct tells me to kick the ground right away. I gritted my teeth and calmed my instincts. What is important is not revenge. We must protect Ellen.
At that moment, Ellen’s angry voice was heard.
“Thulam, ex pruin-eom!”
A spell memorized one after another.
Four or five frost picks are fired one after another. A goblin archer falls from a tree with his arm pierced due to a nervous shooting spree.
For reference, three frost picks are the same as one fire ball. There is no inefficiency like this.
“Ellen, save your mana!”
“… … Phew, it’s still okay.”
As the frightened goblins began to hesitate, welcome guests appeared to accept my anger.
“Go wow wow!”
The sound of heavy footsteps and powerful spirit. At the same time, a huge figure jumped out of the bushes.
“Koag, shahaa—!”
bang!
A blunt but heavy ax struck the shield. A handful of tattered scales fall off.
But it didn’t feel bad. To me, orcs were like that.
“Gwooeok!”
Insert Hrunting between the axes swinging at random. The blade stretched out greedily, licking the tough leather and thick nape of the neck.
“Aosh! Zork!”
Orcs have strong fighting spirit and camaraderie. The death of the first orc makes the subsequent orcs more violent.
“Koag tha hum!”
Seven angry orcs appeared.
Height well over 180, a stocky body with an appropriate mix of flesh and muscle, tusks that extend all the way to the cheekbones, and crude and heavy armament… … .
Even experienced mercenaries are reluctant to fight one-on-one, but personally, I find them ten times more enjoyable than goblins. I don’t shoot arrows.
As if to cut off a brief thought, a frost pick suddenly flies in. An unlucky orc got his eye pierced.
“Kwaek!”
I barely managed to suppress the irritation that was rising unconsciously. And yelling.
“Ellen, deal with goblins, not orcs!”
It was at the same time that he hit the ground.
“Shahaa—!”
Iron clubs of unknown purpose came rushing at me, aiming for my head. As he slowly retreated, he struck the chest of the orc holding the club with the blade of his shield.
“Kahak,”
At the same time, Hrunting climbed up the spear wielded by the orc on the other side. The blade that hit several of his fingers bounced like a salmon.
Write it down.
When the blade slices through the thick neck, my entire right arm tingles with resistance.
The blood of orcs is particularly hot. Their blood splashes and wets the back of my neck. It feels warm, like wearing a muffler on a winter day… … .
“Ghr, zivoel?”
“Quaksaka!”
Distrust rises in the orcs’ eyes. They look like they can’t believe that my colleague’s head was cut off with a single sword.
To wake them up, I quickly gathered up my sword and shield and lifted the head that was rolling on the floor.
And, see the blood.
Kwakagagak!
The blood that flowed from the cut neck bounced back before it even hit the floor. Blood scattered like rotten green juice clawed at the orcs fiercely.
“Aaagh!”
“Kaha!”
“Tzatgu! Yaksa tzatgu!”
While they were startled and making a fuss, I threw the piece of flesh and kicked the ground. At the same time, he thrust his sword.
One before you hit the ground, and another one after you get off the ground and take a step.
As two more heads fall, the disbelief in the orcs’ eyes is erased.
“Well, that’s it,”
A man with his eye pierced by a frost pick is writhing on the floor.
puck.
When I step on its head and explode it, the bright yellow eyes of the remaining orcs become agitated.
“Aigarak!”
But even for a moment, they let out loud shouts and attacked all at once. It was the fighting spirit of an orc.
A brief melee. They couldn’t defeat me in the end. They were killed by having their throats cut, their stomachs cut open, and their hearts stabbed.
“Whoo, whoo.”
Even after the guys were dead, I raised my shield and scanned the surrounding bushes. There was no sign of anything special.
“Ellen, are you okay?”
“huh.”
“Where are you injured? “Where did you get hit?”
“Nothing at all.”
“Then, meditate. just in case.”
After catching a glimpse of Ellen closing her eyes, she glanced upwards.
“••••••shit.”
The damage is quite large. Even at a glance, the damage appears to be over ten.
“Daddy daddy!”
“No, honey. please-”
Two members of the tourist family are sobbing. This is because her man, her father and her husband, was killed by a blind arrow.
“On the count of three, you draw.”
“Ugh,”
“One, two, three!”
Pop!
“Keuuuuuuu!” Eod, who had been joking just a moment ago, was biting the hem of his clothes and trembling. It’s not very wise to take out arrows in the field, but if he was wearing a goblin’s arrow, he would be in trouble.
“Damn, what should I do with this?”
“Just pack your bags. Let’s put it on a cart and share as much as we can.”
Peddlers from Alvivton take a deep breath as they surround the donkey that was stabbed to death by a spear.
“Only give first aid! “We have to move quickly!”
The Perso attendant was encouraging the group, but… I don’t think we’ll be able to leave anytime soon.
At that time, Ute Kwai appeared through the bushes. White steam is rising from his shoulders.
“What, are you hurt?”
“right. But it’s getting better.”
The man was limping, bleeding from his thigh. However, the wound visible through his pants was slowly healing.
Now that I think about it, the corners of the mouth are covered in dark green blood, and it looks like a few of the monster’s hearts have been chewed off. He must be recovering with the power of the ring.
… … But isn’t that going to cause things like roundworms?
“ O ugh ” —
Utequwai, leaning against the base of a tree, caught a glimpse of the orc’s corpses. And then, wow, I get a taste for it.
“There was an orc.”
“Weren’t they there?”
“right. “It was just goblins, and they were very fierce.”
If they were to hurt Utequai, they must be fierce.
If it were a plain with open visibility, this guy wouldn’t have been much of a threat. A single fireball from Ellen would have put them off.
“Surely we are being attacked here. “There’s really no luck.”
As I took out the leather water bottle and sighed, Utequai quietly shook his head.
“You’re not out of luck, Poynix. “You guys waited here.”
“… … “How do you know that?”
“Greenskins do that. “I hunt on a good road.”
He turned the leather bucket over and sprinkled water on his body. The blood of the orcs is washed away and the fever cools down a bit.
“But isn’t this the first time something like this has happened? “Up until now, we’ve been rushing into the plains every time.”
“Greenskin, loves mountains. They often fight over mountain territory. Those on the plains were pushed out of the fight.”
I started putting on the quilt and armor over it. He tightened the straps of his breastplate and nodded.
“aha. In short, the guys here are major.”
By the time I finished putting on my armor, Sanghang resumed movement. As the carriage began to rumble, Ellen slowly opened her eyes.
“What about mana?”
“It’s almost at the bottom. It was a bit filling, but… …
“The floor? already?”
Then the guy narrowed his eyes and glared at me.
“This wouldn’t have been done if you didn’t waste your time cooling your sweat, right?”
“Wow, what a waste. “If it wasn’t for that, I would have been spread out on the wagon until the goblins started shooting arrows.”
Ellen’s mana was low, but I wasn’t too worried. As long as I’m fully armed, the greenskins aren’t a big threat.
Ellen mumbled something and closed her eyes again. Continuing meditation even when the carriage is shaking is a man’s concentration.
The mountain road went downhill for a while. Thanks to the shade provided by the thick bushes, there were no incidents of armor heating up. It was still stiflingly hot, but it was bearable.
How far did it go like that? Sanghaeng came to stand in front of a mountain hut.
“… … But can I call that a mountain cabin?”
As I scratched the inside of my helmet and muttered, the Perso agent who approached me with a middle-aged soldier smiled bitterly.
“I heard that it was built without the lord’s permission. “It couldn’t have been called a castle or a fortress.”
There was a fence made of large rocks and wooden logs placed on top, an entrance guarded by armed soldiers, a high watchtower, and security guards with crossbows.
It feels like a military base rather than a mountain lodge. When I saw it in the game, I think the image was a little more messy. Well, anyway.
“So, are you planning on staying the night?”
“yes. “Today, we plan to take care of the injured in the mountain cabin and leave as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”
As we approached, the lodge gatekeeper spoke.
“Six coins per head for mercenaries and soldiers, and two silver coins per head for the rest.”
It is a mountain infested with monsters. Sleeping in a safe place was a great privilege, and it came at a high price.
The Perso monk slightly narrowed his eyebrows and asked a question.
“Why are mercenaries and soldiers paid less?”
“It’s simple. “If thieves or monsters come in, we have to fight them together.”
“For that reason, I will pay you three pieces of silver. Instead, please leave me out of the fight.”
The gatekeeper firmly shook his head at Haengsu’s suggestion.
“It is the rule of the lodge that those who can fight must fight. “If you are injured, there is nothing we can do.”
“Off” O •
Haengsu paid the price with a small groan, and Sanghaeng entered the fence of the mountain lodge.
A very different scene unfolded than what I remember on the monitor.
In the game, one side of the wooden fence had collapsed, and the building that served as an inn had burned down, leaving only ashes. There are corpses piled up on one side, and the old man who ran away
The lord was gritting his teeth as he remembered his stolen territory and young wife.
But the reality was different. Bonfires lit everywhere and mercenaries, merchants, and farmers sitting around them. A large mountain lodge, a bustling bar across the street, and stalls centered around a well. It is a very bright and lively scenery.
What caused this change? If you mix memory and guesswork appropriately, you will get the answer.
Because robber baron Albianne is dead.
The original scenario is that Albianne, who fled from South Harbor, leads his men and takes Longville. Defeating Albianne and rescuing her lord’s wife was one of the main quests in Chapter 3.
Looking at the mountain cabin, I think Longville might be peaceful too.
Hmm, somehow I feel proud.
