My Villains Episode 114

29. Hunting Festival (2)

The group of fifteen Anupads and the Amias gang were engaged in a fierce battle.

“That bastard is starting again! Steedman, come back!” “Search everything, you bastards!” Stylish Steedman was swinging his ax wildly, his head stained red. Although he was a bit short in stature, he had a fairly stocky physique, so the Anupads retreated helplessly despite the random ax attacks.

But the problem was that one of the vanguard, who had only three men, rushed in and the line was completely broken.

“Uh, uhh!”

The leader, Amias, was walking backwards, blocking the front with his shield, and Genesa, holding a long spear, was behind him and aiming forward.

“Jenessa, how long are you going to be like this? Hurry up and stab me!”

“oo eh”

—9 —• s •

Anupad’s neck was pierced by Jenessa’s long spear.

“Cole, here, here!”

Mira, a freckled female swordsman, took quick steps to avoid the enemy’s attack, then struck down her weapon with her shield and thrust out her sword to kill Anupad.

“Holy shit, Mira!”

Buni, who was as tall as a stick, was hiding behind the mummy and was exposed to the enemy’s attack, screaming loudly.

Just before Buni was skewered by Anupad’s javelin, Cole, the ace, saved him by shooting an arrow.

“Hwaap!”

Buni’s Pollhammer 7} blasted Anupad, who stumbled after being hit by an arrow in his side. A heavy hammer head attached to a long pole exploded Anupad’s head.

After cutting down the three Anupads who rushed towards me, I sighed heavily as I looked at them.

Ellen snorted and said.

“If this is going to be the case, wouldn’t it be better to clean it up with a fireball and put out the fire?”

“……ugh ”

O •

I scratched my head and handed the shield to Ellen.

“Now, take position 3.”

“Pose 3? now?”

“Do you want number 4?”

“… … no.”

Ellen pouted her lips and squatted down, holding the shield with both hands. After confirming that its small body was completely covered by the shield, I immediately kicked the ground.

My target was a guy who just barked among his subordinates while holding an axe.

Crrr! Wow!

Four Anupads blocked the way. They came swinging javelins and axes, but I used my armor to dodge them and hurled Hrunting at them.

Phew!

As if paint was spreading on white drawing paper, the milky blade that pierced the heart was soaked with blood. The smell of pleasure emanating from Anupad’s body is covered by the smell of blood.

The current Hrunting was too long to be a one-handed sword and short to be a two-handed sword. For others, this ambiguous length might have been a disadvantage, but not for me.

“Whoop-”

He held the handle of the knife with both hands and lifted it to the side of his forehead. From that bull stance, he took steps and performed a horizontal slash.

To

The Anupads’ weapons bounced as if swept by Hrunting, and three heads rose into the air.

Crumble! At the death of his subordinates, the leader growls fiercely and attacks.

Based on the game, he would be something like ‘Sergeant Anupad’. Was the experience point 600?

As I step and twist my shoulders, a heavy ax spear passes right in front of my nose. He tied the handle of the ax spear with his left arm, and stretched out the Hrunting held in his right hand.

The leader tilted his head back with an animal-like movement, but the red blood surrounding the blade stuck out its tongue ravenously.

Sigh! In an instant, a blade that was about a span long grazed my neck. The leader, Anupad, could not even scream and fell down.

When I slightly turned my head,

“Call, call! “Here!”

“Steedman, come to your senses!”

“Everyone get together here! “Don’t scatter!”

Amias’s gang was still engaged in a melee.

Um, I have a bit of a headache.

“What are you doing, you guys?”

The battle ended in an instant with the joining of Utequai and me. Amias, who was trying to catch his breath, swallowed hard.

“Whoop, whoop.” Well, such large groups are rare.”

“Large-scale? “Is 20 a large number?”

“… … Well, it’s not a small number.”

I scratched my eyebrows and looked around. All five people, including Amias, were sprawled out on the floor.

Unlike his other colleagues who were not at all alert, archer Cole was looking in all directions with an arrow on his bowstring.

That one guy is worth using. Everything else is a mess.

I clicked my tongue and said to Amias.

“We can’t hunt with people like you.”

“what? but,”

“What are you doing? How long have you been a mercenary? “Has it been two months?”

The young man, indifferent to my annoyed tone, shrugged his shoulders.

“It felt like two months for a year.”

“You sat down and looked like a fool. one year? “After working as a mercenary for a year, you still say this shit?”

The mercenaries fell silent at my harsh words.

“And you guys, I heard it’s been a while since you’ve been here? But did you hunt like this sometimes?”

Leader Amias answered.

“Actually, I tried to join other mercenaries, but since I had little experience and lacked equipment, they distributed me too little. “Then in the end, I missed the time and couldn’t join the other gang.”

“Oh yeah? “I guess I only met wise mercenaries.”

W Ugh

■司三

“Anyway, get out of here. “We’ll figure it out whether we do it ourselves or save others.”

“Now, wait a minute.”

The leader, Amias, continued hastily.

“Just now, a group of people suddenly attacked me and I was taken aback. “It wasn’t like this to begin with.”

“Yes, I guess so. “I understand, so get out.”

“It’s because we just got together as a group of six. “If you give it just a little time, your hands and feet will get better in no time.”

From what I hear, it seems like they know what their problem is.

“A group of six people? What are you talking about? “Aren’t you originally a gang?”

The six mercenaries looked among themselves at my question. Then, tight-lipped Steedman cautiously opened his mouth.

“Me, Boonie, and Jenessa were originally closer to cleaners than mercenaries.”

“… … Cleaner?”

“huh. “Getting the sewer monsters out of the city.”

“Ha, you guys cleaned the sewers? “What kind of city’s sewage system was it cleaned by guys like you?”

“Linnech, Bygaard, Earl’s Castle, places like that… …

Buni, who was fiddling with the torn part of the quilted armor, quickly joined in.

“Oh, northern cities don’t have very big sewers. It was inevitable that the ancient empire would prosper in the central and southern regions, so the northern region,”

“shut up.”

“Uh, yeah… …

“Go to sleep as a janitor, you shouldn’t be here. Go back to Longville and find a ferry to another province. “If they say they won’t hire you, then stick with them and pay money.”

The mercenaries kept their mouths shut at my firm advice.

“What are you doing? “No one turns off.”

Leader Amias and Stidman’s face turned a little red. Bunny, who was a little girl, and Jenessa, who was quiet, were at a loss, and Cole, the archer, had no special expression as usual.

Freckled Prosecutor Mira glanced sideways at Ellen, who was sitting on the bar behind me, and cautiously opened her mouth.

“Well, actually. “We don’t have money.”

“••••••what?”

“I heard there was an opportunity to make a big deal here, so I invested all the money I had left.”

“invest?”

“Chain armor, shield, pole hammer, this and that.”

“So what? “We can just go back to Longville, sell a few things, and then leave.”

Amias, who had been keeping his mouth shut, sighed softly and spoke in a weak tone.

“You can’t do that. “If we leave here, we will go back to our hometown penniless.”

“What’s wrong with that?”

Amias looked at his companions and answered.

“We all come into the world with our own goals. I’m a loser like this

“If you go back as a person, you will become a laughing stock of the entire village.”

“It’s better than dying in a foreign place.”

“It might be better to die somewhere else. So, just give it one chance. “We will show that we are doing our part.”

I glanced down at Amias. The green eyes wavered for a moment, but then looked straight up into my eyes.

While we were in conflict, Ute Kwai suddenly came forward.

“Poy nix.”

“huh?” “We must join these mercenaries.”

“……why?”

Utekwai, who placed his hand on the dolme, opened his mouth.

“We can save innocent young people. “It’s worth it.”

“I’m not chasing these guys out to kill them.”

“But these young people are going to die. They are young people who are weak, clumsy, stupid, and wish to die. “It won’t be long before we all die.”

The mercenaries’ faces became complicated. Regardless of the intention, the words were quite harsh.

“And those who wish to die can become warriors. These young people are pure. You will become a good warrior. “If you and I help.”

I glanced back at the mercenaries. The young mercenaries were looking up at me with earnest eyes.

Except for one guy. Archer Cole had an expressionless face, as if it didn’t matter what happened.

He is good at using a bow. Of course it is not as good as Prince Ulkar, and it is a step below Arnal, but it seems to be enough for one person.

Looking into the future, there will be a large-scale battle when dealing with Queen Anupad, so it is a good idea to prepare your side for that.

But, will these guys be able to do it?

I scratched my eyebrows for a moment and eventually nodded.

“good. “Let’s give it a try.”

The mercenaries’ expressions suddenly brightened.

“Instead, you all play a role.”

The mercenaries’ expressions were still bright. I corrected their misunderstandings.

“The six of us together contribute one share.”

“… … what?”

“I have one portion, Ellen has one portion, Utequai has one portion, and you six have one portion. “This was also generously paid.”

Amais and his colleagues looked dumbfounded for a moment, but eventually had no choice but to accept my suggestion.

When you leave the gate of Longville, a mountainous territory, you will encounter two paths.

One road heading southwest and the other heading north.

It is on the northern road that Chapter 3’s boss, ‘Anupad Queen La Mashieda’, settles down with her army.

Anupad’s army appeared out of nowhere and drove out the mountain’s inhabitants, causing the area near Longville to be overrun by all kinds of monsters.

So, we chose the path heading southwest, that is, toward the mountain cabin, and we were able to encounter monsters without too much difficulty.

“It’s a bear!”

“Unite!”

What appeared in front of us as we searched the nearby mountain path were three bears.

In this world, it was rare to distinguish between wild beasts and monsters. Even things like wolves and crocodiles are treated as monsters.

In that sense, the brown bear family of three was great monsters.

Hehe!

As if their territory was being invaded, the bears attacked all at once.

“Ellen.”

« O ” Hmm.

Ellen flew out of my arms and started chanting a spell. Utequai jumped out with a roar and pounced on the largest one.

“Orrendae!”

Next, Archer Cole pulled the strings. He caught his exhaled breath, his eyes lit up, and he let go.

Pop!

A brown bear was hit in the head with an arrow, but survived thanks to its thick hide. It roared in anger and lunged towards us.

“Jenessa, spear!”

Jenessa, who was standing behind the vanguard, bit her lip in fear but aimed her spear at the charging bear.

I played with the javelin for a moment, then threw it at the first of the two guys charging at the shield wall.

Phew!

Thanks to some luck, the javelin pierced my eye socket deeply!

By the time the guy was falling down with a loud sigh, Ellen’s spell was complete.

“Flammae, ensa-ra!”

As a sonorous voice uttered a spell, six weapons burst into flames at once.

“Wow!”

“Da, don’t panic!”

The mercenaries were frightened as flames erupted from their weapons, but they quickly came to their senses and took their stance after hearing Amias’ shout.

The brown bear rushed forward and hit Steedman’s shield hard.

bang

“Kuhok,”

Steedman staggered and received the attack, but Cole’s arrow and Mira’s sword were pierced by the brown bear.

Wow!

As its front paws burned from being hit by the burning sword, the brown bear roared in pain and began to run wild.

Amias and Mira attracted attention with their shields in front. The brown bear instinctively recoiled from the flame-covered weapon.

That too for a while. As the scratches and burns increased, the brown bear stood up and attacked the seemingly formidable mercenary.

“Ugh!”

When the brown bear stood on its hind legs and swung both paws, Mira quickly rolled on the ground. Taking advantage of that opportunity, Jenessa and Buni swung their soldiers’ flags.

A brown bear with a long spear stuck in its armpit and its muzzle broken by a pole hammer fell down.

“I did it!”

While Buni and Mira cheered, leader Amias chopped off the bear’s neck with an axe.

“Huh, it’s over.”

It was only after confirming that the bastard’s breathing had stopped that archer Cole, quiet Jenessa, and tight-headed Steedman heaved a sigh of relief.

As I was quietly looking at the mercenaries, Utequoi, who had scratch marks on his forearm, approached me.

“Young people, they are useful. “Enough already.”

“Wipe anything off your mouth and then speak.”

Utequai, who had committed the absurd act of strangling a bear, scooped out a piece of heart from the corner of his mouth. And then he smiled.

“We have become more numerous. “You can target bigger game.”

Sniffing nose. Small, sharp eyes scan everywhere.

“Ashin. It stinks. not far.”

“What is Ashin?” “troll.”

“… … Trout? “Treul?”

Utequai nodded with a deep smile.
