My Villains Episode 014
5-1. The killer’s debut stage (1)
“Don’t make me ask again! “Are you mercenaries?”
I wanted to deny it, but I just couldn’t.
I was wearing a decent breastplate and a belt and buckler. If not a mercenary, who on earth would walk around armed like this?
I tried to keep my cool and answer the person who yelled.
“I’m a mercenary!”
“what? What about you next to me? “Are you wearing a wizard costume?”
A man, unknown whether he was an officer or not, broke away from the ranks with three or four subordinates and stood in front of us.
Unlike the soldiers wearing thick quilted armor, the man was wearing armor made of iron pieces elaborately joined together in the shape of scales.
The sight of him wearing an iron helmet with his eyes, nose, and mouth exposed in the shape of a ‘T’ and holding a flail with a large piece of metal rattling around was quite intimidating.
While the man had an expression on his face that was hard to read, the soldiers standing behind him were looking at him openly and warily.
Surely you don’t suspect me of being a pirate? •••Ugh, that could happen. Because we are strangers.
“I am la-fala,”
I quickly covered Ellen’s mouth when she was about to answer and pulled her behind me. Then, I squeezed his arm so tightly that I couldn’t get out.
He answered instead by saying,
“This guy is my nephew. “I am too young to use magic, so I am still a student.”
“Because I’m a student.”
The officer looked at me with glassy eyes.
•••Pyeonggyeongjang told me not to look the other person in the eye when making a joke.
For some reason, I had the feeling that if I turned my head, an unpleasant command would immediately come out, so I looked the officer directly in the eyes.
“Director War. “You have to go now.”
Unmanned? Is it the name of a government official?
Anyway, the military commander heard the whispers of the soldier standing next to him, looked at me, and gave an order.
“The Lord of the castle has given an order to mobilize, so follow us. “If you disobey, you will be thrown in jail.”
“•••All right. Then, just send your nephew to the tower.”
“No, right now! “You’re not even a child, so you can’t run away on your own?”
The military commander who shouted ran away without even hearing an answer.
However, they could not ignore his orders and run away. Two soldiers were watching me with their eyes wide open, and another group of soldiers was approaching from a distance.
But as soon as the commander disappeared, Ellen shook my hand away and shouted.
“A student? I am a proud person… !”
“quiet!”
I quickly covered Ellen’s mouth and made eye contact with her.
“Yeah, I know. You are a proud wizard, and someday you will be the best in Middleworld.
“I will become a great wizard.”
Ellen calmed down a little at my whisper.
“But right now…” Uh, you’re in a state where you can’t use the functional aspects of a wizard, right? so,”
“hey! How long are you going to talk about! “If you don’t go now, you will be arrested!”
Damn, it’s crazy how long it’s been.
A quick glance reveals impatience on the soldiers’ faces.
Soldiers in battle are beings who do not know what they will do. Provoking the soldiers was never a wise option.
I hurriedly handed the bag to him and said,
“Your job now is to guard the luggage. “I got it cheap thanks to you, but wouldn’t it be a shame if I lost it?”
“Wait a minute, you… …
“Go quickly!”
I pushed Ellen away with force, turned around, and started running with the soldiers.
I felt an intense gaze behind my back.
I didn’t look back.
The army continued to swell in numbers as they rushed to the docks.
This was because they grabbed armed people on sight and dragged them away.
Thanks to this, by the time we reached the dock, there were mercenaries, sailors, upper body guards, etc… … Should we call it a mobilized soldier? There were sixty people like that.
By order of an officer, the mobilized soldiers were divided and assigned to two non-commissioned officers.
It seemed like the plan was to operate it separately from the existing troops, but it was a very wise choice. I didn’t know if it was to my advantage or not.
In fact, I was quite optimistic about the situation until I arrived at the dock.
The soldiers guarding South Harbor were well armed and disciplined.
The command system seemed to be well established, and there were about five or six people dressed as wizards.
On the other hand, the pirates I faced a few days ago were nothing more than bare beggars with only one weapon on their bodies.
In addition, since there were already a considerable number of soldiers at the dock, it was thought that they would drive out the pirates without difficulty.
But the reality was very different from my expectations.
“Militia! from now on!”
“Huh, you sound like a militia.”
What is the name of militia? Militia. Among the people gathered here, there is not a single one who can be called a citizen of South Harbor.
Even though I was wheezing, I followed the sergeant’s orders and slowly moved forward.
I stood shoulder to shoulder with the mercenaries standing on either side and maintained my pace so as not to fall behind or ahead.
But why did I take the lead out of sixty militia members? Are you so unlucky? Because I did something wrong?
The answer is, it was because of this enemy-like buckler!
Aren’t bucklers also being told to stand in the first row because they are shields? At best, it’s the size of a large person if it covers one shoulder. It was really unfair.
Meanwhile, the soldiers of Seongju took up positions in the center and right wing, and the mobilized soldiers, or rather, the militia, were organized on the left wing.
The group that had settled down at the dock maintained its position and advanced steadily toward the dock.
The dock had already been taken over by pirates. It seemed like all the soldiers guarding the dock were dead or had run away.
How could these beggars with only one weapon destroy well-armed soldiers?
All pirates are beggars
Because it wasn’t.
Wedge.
As if cutting through my thoughts, a sharp wave sound passed over my head.
Maybe it was my mood, but it felt like my hair had been brushed, sending a shiver down my spine.
It was scary for a moment before arrows fired from behind hit the pirates.
These poorly armed men who were at the forefront of the pirate ranks were pierced by arrows and bled to death.
When I glanced back, I saw soldiers perched on the roof of the building diligently reloading their crossbows.
“Wow!”
“We shoot too!”
“Shoot, you bastards!”
There was a commotion among the pirates and arrows were fired.
puck.
“Ugh,”
Crazy, I almost got hit. An arrow stuck in the shield of the mercenary next to him, making a dull sound.
At this moment, I resented myself terribly. To be more precise, he resented Kim Seung-soo of the past, who was equipped with a buckler because he had the ‘attack of opportunity’ option.
Seungsu Kim, you stupid dealer. It was the same magic item anyway, but it was just a bigger one.
I regret it even more when I see the sturdy circular shield covering the entire upper body of the man next to me.
The buckler was only as big as my head, so it seemed like I would have to swing it like a jab rather than holding it to block the arrow.
But the problem was that the arrow was really, really fast. It seemed to be three times faster than the fastball thrown by Ryu Hyun-jin.
So I lifted my buckler and only covered my head and neck.
Ugh, this is why I should have bought the helmet first.
Empty!
“Keck!”
Suddenly, no, just like a ‘shot’, it hit my chest.
Ugh, it bounced off the breastplate, but the pain was breathtaking… .
“Are you okay?”
“Hehe, yes, it’s okay.”
After hearing my answer, the mercenary man approached me.
As the man on my right got closer, the shield he was wearing in his left hand naturally covered my right shoulder.
Could it be that this man is a heavenly person?
“Okay, thank you… …
“Hehe, can you please use your knife? “Please watch my back.”
“yes? Yes, yes… …
I nodded with a puzzled face. I guess they thought I was a pretty strong guy based on my physical strength and the pulse I pulled out.
In fact, I was almost panicking right now.
Because bickering with a few pirates on a ship and fighting an army were two completely different things.
The place where they were caught up in the chaos was literally a battlefield.
The sounds of heavy breathing, shouting, arrows splitting the air – or wood grain or flesh – and screams were deafening.
The fishy smell of the sea and blood, the smell of sweat and oil, and the acrid smell of burnt coal paralyzed my nose.
Countless pirates could be seen under the raised buckler. It was so crowded that it filled my field of vision, so I couldn’t even tell how many people there were.
It feels like someone is talking next to me, but I can’t hear anything.
Among the pirates who were no better than beggars, armed men squeezed out.
He wore an iron mask with a chain hood, chain armor that reached down to his knees, and was holding a large two-handed axe.
This doesn’t work. Dangerous.
When I saw the look in their eyes, I thought I should run away.
They were bloodthirsty beasts, and I was just a weakling who was lucky enough to win a fight to the death.
I could never win.
“hey!”
“Huh oh!”
I was startled by a hand tapping my back and turned around. Then there was a woman, no, a female warrior standing there.
The female warrior wearing a round helmet frowned when she saw my face.
“What is it, this guy? “You were so scared, weren’t you?”
“W-what is it?”
“Look ahead and speak!”
Ugh, I’m crazy. You look back when the enemy is right in front of you!
When an arrow hit my foot, I got a bit annoyed and screamed.
“Holy shit! “What!”
“Ha, my personality. “I’m going to rush in with my colleagues, so please watch behind me.”
“What kind of point is that… … Before I could finish answering, the sergeant let out a loud roar.
“Militia! charge!”
“Wow!”
Then the female warrior ran forward, shouting as if she had been waiting.
Five mercenaries followed her and ran out, shouting. The man who covered my shoulder was also there.
Before the soldier next to the sergeant could blow his horn, the female warrior and her men had leapt four or five steps forward in line.
“Turn around!”
“Death!”
The next moment, everyone around started charging.
In that scene of overwhelming madness and fighting spirit, I could only stand there, shaking my chin.
“Crazy, what is this?”
“hey! “Charge!”
While I was unable to do this or that, a sergeant with a rough beard came up to me and scolded me.
“Rush, you coward!” match!
A hand wearing a rough leather glove slapped my face.
… … This guy?
I barely felt any pain, but instead, extreme shame and discomfort exploded from my solar plexus.
Kwasik.
The powerful kick struck the sergeant in the stomach in an instant.
“Off!”
As the sergeant with his back bent into an n-shape fell to his knees and vomited, the two soldiers standing behind him were startled and pointed their spears at me.
“Hey, you bastard, you’re crazy!”
“Drop your weapons!”
Phew. When I saw the sergeant writhing beneath my feet, my heart felt like it had burst open and a huge amount of air filled my lungs.
Yes, I was Poy Nix, not Seungsu Kim.
He was not a 30-year-old petty citizen, but a vigorous knight.
Oh, look at the lime. A fierce blood knight. I should name the character like this.
“Drop your weapon, you bastard!”
The soldier shouted and thrust out his spear.
The spear fired by the soldier was surprisingly slow compared to the arrow. Even if I yawned and held out my buckler, I was confident that I would be able to bounce it off.
Bye!
“100 million ”
And the buckler went beyond simply flicking the spear and broke the pole of the spear.
Combining the power of my body with the power of the ring, the relic of a dead blood knight, my strength had surpassed the border of superhuman.
A feeling of omnipotence that I had forgotten for a while wriggled through my whole body. The blood of the fierce warrior began to heat the spirit of the ordinary citizen.
” hey.”
“What, what, what?”
Seeing the two soldiers trembling, I spoke in a calm tone.
“This was self-defense. “Are you angry or not when you suddenly hit me in the face?”
“What kind of bullshit is that… …
“There’s nothing to say.”
I glanced ahead. Mercenaries and pirates were mixing together and continuing the chaos of chaos.
I said, pointing in that direction with Pulsion.
“I’m rushing now?”
“•••what?”
“I’m rushing now. Since I didn’t protest, you guys have to testify. Do you understand?”
The soldiers made eye contact with each other with anxious expressions.
Frustrating bastards. I don’t have time to talk to these guys,
“Tsk, this dirty mercenary… .”
The sergeant who was kneeling stood up shakily, wiping the corners of his mouth.
Wow, that was a pretty hard kick and I got up to do it.
What’s even more surprising is that he looked at the battlefield first rather than getting angry at me.
” shit••••••
He cursed softly with a darkened complexion.
Is it disadvantageous? •••I can’t tell even after looking at it.
“you!”
“Eh, yes?”
Ugh, I did something wrong so I need to be respectful.
“Looks like you’re using some strength.”
“what… “It’s kind of like that.”
“Huh, you bitch. Cut down twenty enemy supply and demand. “Then I will forgive you.” ” twenty?”
“okay!” Ugh, I was worried about the accident, but I’m glad it happened.
But twenty? It may seem like a bit much…
Still, I couldn’t be bargaining here. Then it seemed like there would be a real bounty on offer.
“I promised!”
“Yes, you scoundrel!”
As soon as I heard the sergeant’s answer, I kicked the ground.
Then, he cut his wrist long with Pulsion.
The blood flowed out and covered the pulse and shield.
Next, a burning thirst took over my entire body.
At first glance, my vision was red, but my senses were clearer than ever.
And, if a charge is missing a shout, it feels empty.
I squeezed my lower stomach and screamed like crazy.
“Kwaaaa!”
