My Villains Episode 145

38. Golden Sludge (2)

The thin full moon showed its face among the stars. A white boat floated along the silvery, winding waterway.

Even that beautiful halo of light could not remove the dark clouds that hung over Longville. With the torch being precarious in the night wind, human-like dogs were lying on their bellies in a wide wheat field.

I was hiding among the bushes on the ridge and watching the Anupads.

“ O ugh ” —

As he fell silently, Veldin started shaking his butt for no reason. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and opened his mouth.

“… … “It is impossible for this number to increase in one day.”

“Let alone the fact that there are a lot of them. “Have they always been like that?” The Anupads were in groups of twenty at the most and sixty or seventy at the most. The fifteen lumps that came together like that tightly surrounded Longville’s fence.

The young scribe quickly waved his hand.

“No, no, sir. “If it had been like that, we wouldn’t have been able to get out.”

“then?”

“Until last night, most of them were gathered near the gate. Thanks to that, I was able to escape using a secret passage.”

I scratched my eyebrows and checked again.

“You said that secret passage leads to the stronghold, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Longville’s residential quarters were located on an elongated rock mound.

If you go up the western slope, there is a gate, and if you pass the residence of the residents and reach the eastern end, there is a permanent residence and stronghold.

Veldin added, pointing toward the stronghold with his hand.

“To be exact, it goes under the mound. “The place where a small stream once flowed was converted into a secret passage.”

“Anupads don’t know, right?”

“Of course, sir.”

When the scribe nodded resolutely, Wu Tequai, who had been sitting on a tree stump, stepped forward.

“Anupad, you stupid beast.”

The large barbarian spat out something he was chewing and continued speaking.

“Even if we have a lot of people, we can’t be stopped.”

“Do you think I’m doing this because of page count?”

I frowned and continued.

“That’s the military. It’s not just that there are no good people, there are queens, generals, shamans, and lieutenants here and there. “You can’t take it easy.”

“You shouldn’t take it easy. But there is nothing to think about.”

Utequai grinned and handed something over.

“What is this?”

“It’s a fruit.”

I looked down at the fruit that looked like an acorn or chestnut.

“What are the fruits? “Can I at least entice you with this?”

“Dogs like meat. “You can’t lure them with fruit.”

“Then why did you give me this?”

“Try it. “It’s ripe and sweet.”

What is this, you bastard?

I was so dumbfounded that I burst out laughing.

“Hey dude, are you still hungry for food after seeing that group of dogs?”

“It goes well. Strength and wisdom appear when you are full. “A great warrior must know how to be satisfied in front of the enemy.”

“If you can’t even talk.”

I shook my head and bit into the fruit. After spitting out the skin, I chewed the pure white flesh.

It’s sweet. The scent is also fragrant.

While savoring the sweetness that remained on the tip of my tongue, I looked back at U Te Kwai.

“… … “Are there any more?”

He chuckled and handed me four or five berries.

As if what Utequai had said was completely wrong, as he was about to eat all the fruit, a very good plan occurred to him.

Anupad ‘Ounsheeda’ was a princess and a general. As the queen’s heir, she was twice as big and ten times stronger than her compatriots.

Ounshida had four mates, and among them, he favored the youngest, Pshaki. She was a small but attractive male with a rarely seen navy blue fur.

The young male diligently licked the back of the general’s hand. Due to Pshaki’s strange magical power, Ounshida’s scar gradually became blurred.

purr.

Ounshieda rested her chin and made a happy sound. As the general’s eyelids slowly closed, the soldiers also held their breath and rested.

It was then.

Ounshida’s nose twitched at the smell of something burning. Soon his ears perked up, and his eyes immediately opened.

Cry!

When Ounsheeda raised her head, her subordinates quickly stood up. Then he started barking furiously.

The alert posture of the general’s troops soon spread to the entire army. Hundreds of Anupads barked with their ears pricked up.

At that time, fiery arrows began to rain down from the gates of Longville.

Kkkkkkk-!

Ounsheeda’s cries made the Anupads at the gate quickly retreat.

Despite the general’s vigilance, most of the fire arrows missed in vain. The distance between the gateway and Anupad was too far to be overcome with poor archery skills.

Instead, the wheat and corn that had been trampled by the monsters began to catch fire. While some Anupads were giggling and shaking their tails, the gate opened.

“Wow!”

“Come at me!”

About 50 soldiers were shouting. Hitting the small square shield with the spear was a bonus.

Ounshida bared his teeth and glared at the gate. I wanted to rush in and tear those humans to pieces right away, but I couldn’t disobey my mother’s orders.

Her howling continued for a long time. At the roar signifying preparation for battle, about half of the army began to gather near the gate.

“… … it’s okay. “Now let’s get started.”

The boy wizard Ethan frowned at the words of swordsman Simos.

“Why should I take this risk?”

“Stop talking nonsense and memorize a spell.”

“I can not understand. “A wizard from the Rao family has to listen to the orders of a mere wandering knight.”

Simos, annoyed, scratched under his eye patch.

“If you’re that dissatisfied, why did you tell me earlier? Why are you making such a fuss now?”

“That’s because my sister said she knew before I even came forward.” “So, is it because your sister is an idiot that she listened to Poy Nyx?”

“… … ‘Phoenix’?”

As Ethan narrowed his eyes, Simos stiffened his mouth and pulled out his long sword and fired.

“Quickly memorize the spell. “At least for Siren and Zana Vas.”

“Okay, damn it.”

The man and woman began to chant a spell.

Okay.

The golem rose from beneath my feet. Siren had made it and left it behind.

Although Ethan had not yet learned how to make a golem, he was able to operate it simply.

“go. “Wipe it all away.”

A figure made of earth and sand ran down the mountain in a language imbued with mana. The sound of the heavy golem’s footsteps quickly reached Anupad’s ears.

Afterwards, electricity began to flow through Simos’ long sword. A blue radiance that even she herself could not control surged through the bushes.

Arr-!

Wow! Kkkkkkkk!

The noisy dog ​​noise gradually got closer.

Heedless of this, Simos swung his long sword above his head as if signaling.

“Ugh, it’s dazzling. “Stay away!”

Ethan grumbled like that, took out several rune pieces from his pocket, and threw them towards the mountainside.

Simos, who collected mana and extinguished the blue light, brought a horse tied nearby. It was Poynix’s favorite horse, Spotted.

She mounted the horse with deft movements, glanced down the slope, and pulled Ethan up.

“Let it explode slowly.”

” already?”

“If you get greedy, you can get caught up.”

“I see, it’s Anupad, but he’s so scared… …

Ethan frowned before speaking. This is because the connection with the golem was lost.

‘I gave the order roughly, but it’s already been destroyed?’

“Ethan, quick!”

“Oh, I understand.”

Ethan quickly memorized the spell.

As soon as he finished muttering twelve words, the rune pieces he had scattered began flashing all at once.

Quagwagwang!

Soil, sand, and rocks exploded, causing a small landslide.

Suddenly, Ethan felt a chill down his spine. This is because the crunching sound mixed with the roar was much closer than expected.

“Sigh, mother-in-law- ugh.”

Before Ethan could open his mouth, Simos pulled the reins.

When Spotted began to run against the trail, Simos and Ethan quickly lowered their posture.

When the commotion reached its peak, I waited between the bushes and peeked up.

There was only one group of Anupads visible around. It seemed like everyone else ran to the west, that is, towards the gateway.

“… … “I guess you received a letter.” It was Druid de Xanavas who delivered the letter to Longville. He hung letters on some mountain birds and sent them off.

As I let out a small cheer, Ellen, who was following behind me, let out a crying sound.

“Now, *sigh* are we here?”

“You just have to go a little further. “Is it very difficult?”

“I feel like I’m going to die *sigh*.”

Now we had dirt and sand spread all over our bodies. Considering Anupad’s keen sense of smell, it was a natural move.

“I wish I could use magic… …

It was the same with Ellen. He smeared dirt on her hair and looked like he was about to burst into tears.

“Ugh, what’s going on here? I want to wash up quickly *cool look*.”

“You bitch, you’ll be punished severely.”

“Ugh,”

Ellen barely suppressed a scream when she heard a sudden sound from next to her. The one who appeared with her face painted black and her eyes shining was none other than Ute Kwai.

“You surprised me, you barbarian!”

At Ellen’s whisper, Utequai, whose arms and legs were covered in animal feces, smiled.

“They should have camouflaged it properly. it’s a shame.”

“… … Ugh, you crazy person.’”

Ellen muttered that and trembled. Did she remember that Ute Kwai had tried to smear dung in her own hair before she left?

Either way, Utequai turned to me and whispered.

“Phoenix. “Now I have to run.”

“now? Wouldn’t it be better to get a little closer?”

“wrong.”

The guy shook his head with a stern expression.

“Everyone is bad at hiding. If you go further, you will be caught. “It’s better to run.”

“… … “Well, I guess there’s nothing we can do about it.”

I took out a javelin from my belt. The group that followed quietly drew their weapons and prepared for battle.

I looked into their tense eyes and whispered softly.

“From the moment I shouted, I broke through with all my might. There is plenty of time, so there is no need to rush so much. “You have to move calmly.”

I took a quick look at the Anupads. Ah, the guys guarding the lower part of the castle were an ordinary group of about 30 or 40.

“Me and Utequai are in the lead. Veldin and his soldiers are second, and you, Amias, are next. Protect Ellen and Siren thoroughly. got it?”

” yes.” “Xanabas is the last. “My mission is to take care of those who have fallen behind.” After catching a glimpse of Navas, who nodded with a stern expression, I tightened the straps of my backpack. Then, when the inside of my backpack started to squirm, I smiled bitterly without realizing it.

“Mungchi, you’re going to be a little shaken now.”

While saying that, I knocked on my backpack, and the bundle made a small crackling sound, and then I held my breath again.

When I tried to leave it to Moses and Ethan, it made such a fuss that I was worried that it would get caught, but after putting it in my backpack, it didn’t even make a sound. I heard this guy is really amazing too.

“…… stein.”

After a long muttering, Siren’s spell was completed. The dirt and sand that had been buried on the body of the group hardened like armor made of rock.

“It will block most attacks at least once.”

“Thank you, Siren.”

He slowly stood up, clutching the square shield he was carrying on his shoulder. The shield was purchased at a mountain hut, and was a wooden board covered with iron. How long will this shield last?

“let’s go.”

I trudged through the bushes, shoulder to shoulder with Utequai.

Did he walk about five or six steps like that? I made eye contact with an Anupad.

Big, shit!

Just before I started crying, my javelin pierced its chest.

When the Anupads turned their heads in surprise, I pulled out my Hrunting and shouted.

“run-!”

There was no need to look back. He just ran with all his might. The distance, which was about 50 meters, was halved in two breaths.

Kkeung, kkeung kkeung-!

The sound of dogs barking was loud.

Wedge-

I raised my shield to block a few arrows and looked at the guys. Anupads holding spears were lined up.

… … Is it quick to react? what?

Crumble!

One Anupad was swinging a whip at his men. I was able to recognize the guy’s identity when I saw the square being completed in an instant with just a couple of whiplashes.

‘Lieutenant Shitwug’. In the game, he appears as the second pick in Chapter 3.

I took a quick look and there were two more that caught my eye. They are randomly named.

The one with a short snout and sparse fur was ‘Half-blood Zuama’, and the one with a slightly brighter color was ‘Red Pshaka’.

“This is rotten.”

I thought they were an ordinary group, but when I looked closer, I saw that they were an elite unit with three names.

Feeling a growing sense of crisis, I quickly gathered my courage.

My face turned red.
