My Villains Episode 047

13. Army of the Young Lion (2)

The magic bandits, who were sick of going crazy and using evil like that, hesitated and widened their distance.

“Damn, there’s no such thing as an ogre… .” “That knife – isn’t that magic?”

“I thought I saw something wrong… ! “That’s blood magic!”

The guys who had retreated looked back and suddenly turned bright red. The magic bandits who had run away into the forest were running towards this side of the road.

I think there are at least well over a hundred people.

Ha, there’s no such thing as a whole bunch of dogs.

“Grania. Grania!”

Thanks to my desperate running, Grania was already lying trapped at my feet. I touched her with my heel a few times, but there was no response from her. Damn, you’re sure he’s not dead, right?

The magic bandits nearby rode their horses slowly, their eyes shining at my actions. Seeing them forming a siege network at a distance, it seemed like they had no intention of attacking them directly.

Are you going to waste time? It’s absolutely the worst.

“ Phew••••••

The car was catching its breath and preparing for the final rush,

Wedge!

“O”

Hearing the tiresome sound of the attack, I immediately ducked and dodged the arrow. however-

“uh?”

The arrow wasn’t aimed at me from the beginning.

“Gyeong!”

When I looked up at the sound of a scream, I saw an arrow with a blue feather stuck in the neck of a magic enemy.

The guy fell off the horse like a piece of rotten wood, holding the arrow shaft tightly.

The heavy sound of horses’ hooves, which had until now been buried in the commotion of the herd of horsemen, was crossing the plain.

I looked back unconsciously.

The same was true for the magic bandits. A trembling voice was heard.

“That, that-”

“They are knights!”

A group of knights were running toward the ancient fleet of a magic enemy full of fear.

The knights, sparkling blue in the moonlight, were showing off their presence with the heavy sound of their horses’ hooves instead of shouting.

I – that is, Seungsu Kim – have no experience of actually witnessing a being called a ‘knight’. As a person living in the 21st century, this is completely natural.

But regardless of the lack of experience, the people running from there were clearly knights. I could tell by looking at it.

They were only sixteen people, but they had a terrifyingly threatening presence.

A huge horse, plate armor with no gaps visible, a helmet with face armor, and a spear that can be seen over 3 meters (W槍).

Some of them even had horses wearing armor.

To be able to run so easily while carrying a rider and wearing heavy armor… I’m not sure, but it’s definitely a good breed of fighting horse.

The knights were accelerating little by little, but the formation that was spread out in a straight line was undisturbed.

The gap was close enough that if you stretched out your arm, you could reach the knight next to you, and no one was ahead or behind.

Unlike me, who was mesmerized by the scene-like scene from a movie, the demonic bandits showed all sorts of faces at the impending death.

“Get back to the river!”

“What bullshit is that! “If you miss those guys, the boss will kill you!”

“If you don’t step back, you will die immediately! And I’ve already lost a few, so who cares!”

“Cargill! “Captain Cargill!”

“Cargill is lost! “I was tricked by a magician!”

At that time, another arrow flew and pierced the mouth of a magic enemy.

Come to think of it, only one of the knights was holding a bow instead of a spear.

The knight in the very center of the line fired two more arrows in succession, killing two enemies. He was a man with great archery skills.

Next, he hung the bow on the saddle and pulled out the long sword from his waist. Then he extended his sword towards the magic enemies and shouted.

“charge-!”

That loud voice surprisingly belonged to a young man.

To the shouts of the young knight with his long sword drawn, his companions also responded and raised their flags forward.

As the knights accelerated with all their might, a loud sound like falling hail rang out.

The magic bandits gathered around me were already in a state of disarray due to the majesty of the knights.

In the end, the group of idiots who ran across the plain after running out of the forest had no choice but to meet the knights’ charge.

No, would it be a bit inappropriate to say that I accepted it?

I think a more appropriate expression would be to say it was shattered.

Quang!

“Ugh!”

“Knock.”

One knight pierced both a horse and a man with his spear.

Still, the knight’s war horse ran forward as if it still had some strength left, and struck the faltering human horse with its chest.

As soon as most of the knights stabbed their spears, they drew their swords and began slaughtering the magic enemies.

War hammers and axes were occasionally seen, but the most impressive weapon was the huge two-handed sword.

“I am Ankir of Whitestone!”

The large knight let out a loud roar and freely swung a sword that was probably over 150 centimeters long.

Every time his two-handed sword sprayed moonlight, the magic enemies’ arms and necks soared into the sky.

Occasionally, the magic enemies that got close to me would hit me with a fur mul or cross guard, or I would smash their faces with my fists. It didn’t look like a person, but rather like a nimble bear.

A knight wearing a blue cloak also caught my eye. He pierced two magic bandits with his spear and then pulled out a sword that looked like a rapier.

Although he was not as tall as Ankir I had seen earlier, he was a man of considerable physique.

So I didn’t think it was very appropriate to hold a light rapier, but-

“Sigh.”

Phew!

I had no choice but to correct my impression when I saw the rapier he held out while holding his breath. For the sword shot like a bullet pierced his shield and his hand, and even pierced his uvula.

It was not a clever attempt at a vital point, but a tough stab that destroyed obstacles in the way and took the enemy’s life.

Every time the blue cloak flapped, the magic enemy with a hole in its body rolled around on the dirt floor.

It seemed like the skills of a single magic enemy would not be able to stop him.

As I was taking a deep breath and observing the battle, a knight came running towards me. It was the same knight who was shooting an arrow in the center of the assault line.

I didn’t really notice it when I saw it from a distance, but when I looked closely, I saw that it was wearing beautiful plate armor with gold decorations on its shoulders and chest.

Moreover, the helmet was designed to resemble a lion’s face.

This armor looks somewhat familiar… … ?

Before I thought about that for a moment, the driver looked down at me and asked a question in a confident tone.

“Are you from South Harbor too?”

‘You too’… I must have already met Ellen and Luke.

Although I felt somewhat uneasy due to my natural lower body, I nodded my head cautiously.

“•••That’s right.”

“Get in the back. “I’ll give you a seat.”

While saying that, he shook his head at the knight who extended his hand and pointed at Grania.

“Here, please take care of my colleague first.”

“Is he alive?”

” ah,”

When I came to my senses, I quickly knelt down and put my ear to Grania’s mouth.

A suppressed breathing sound.

“Whoa, he’s alive.”

“Right. “Make sure you put it in the back.”

As I immediately lifted Grania and placed her on the saddle, the driver shouted, ‘Randel!’ A knight came running to the call, and I was able to ride on his back.

“Pick it up!”

At the command of the knight wearing gold decorations, the knights who had been running wild in the uninhabited area gathered in one place.

Everyone seemed fine except for one person who was lying on the horse’s back and being held back by his companion.

On the other hand, nearly half of the one hundred and fifty magic bandits were killed in that short period of time, and the rest were running away. It was a ridiculous exchange fee.

The blue cloaked knight who joined his comrades shouted.

“Look at the forest! “They are coming!”

As he said, the forest was full of torches emitting light. Maybe the leader or key executive of the magic bandit group would bring his henchmen.

Ankir, a large knight who was soothing a galloping horse, made a suggestion in a loud voice.

“Why not take this opportunity to wipe them out! “It’s rare to get a chance to face them on the plains!”

Several knights agreed with that opinion, but the knight with the gold decoration firmly shook his head.

“no! Saving these mercenaries comes first! “Everyone, return to the garrison!”

“yes!”

There was no rebuttal. The knights immediately formed a diamond-shaped formation and began running north.

The knights with Ankir, blue cloaks, and barding stood at the rear, and the knight with engraved gold decorations stood at the front.

The magic enemies chasing after them fired arrows, but they were unable to pierce the thick plate armor with their flimsy recurve bows.

Sometimes, if there were guys that came close, Knight Duot would jump out, kill them, and then come back.

The series of processes occurred naturally without any special commands. These knights have been working together for a long time

It was definitely true.

Looks like you came to the right place.

As I was thinking that, a strangely familiar place caught my eye.

It was a garrison station surrounded by carts parked on the side and geomachangs (拘馬槍) carved out of wood as the outer walls.

A huge flag fluttered in the center, embroidered with the profile of a golden lion standing on its hind legs.

The scenery where the background seen on the 2D screen was realized in reality was still something new.

My thoughts ended with a loud shout that erupted from inside the garrison.

Afterwards, dozens of arrows split the night sky, and one arrow flew low enough to graze the helmet of a knight and knocked down the pursuing magicians.

After shaking off some of the magical enemies, the knights entered the garrison through the passage.

“Now is the time, pull!”

With a noncommissioned officer shouting, six or seven soldiers pulled the rope.

Then the magic spear that had been lying low on the ground rose up at an angle.

Kwasik!

“Ugh!”

“Holy shang-!”

Four men were skewered like skewers on wooden spokes as sharp as fangs.

Before the horse’s mournful cries could even end, the soldiers waiting nearby rushed forward and lashed out with their long spears.

Four or more of the magic bandits who barely stopped speaking were stabbed with spear blades and lost their lives.

“W-stand back!”

“Retreat, retreat!”

Arrows fell one after another at the magical enemies who hesitated to retreat.

When I turned around, I saw crossbowmen wearing crossbows on top of the fallen cart and archers standing behind them shooting arrows non-stop.

The hordes of magic bandits, who had suffered great damage in an instant, backed away, swearing.

“Fight back!”

“Set it on fire!”

The intoxicated magicians circled around the garrison, shooting arrows and throwing torches.

Most of the arrows were blocked by the soldiers’ shields, but the torches quickly grew in size, burning the cart and dry grass.

“Damn it, water! “Bring a bucket of water!”

“But there isn’t enough drinking water.”

“Stop being stupid!”

The soldiers, who were in a hurry, were busy shouting, and the dogs locked in cages were also barking loudly.

The gold-decorated knight who saw this also raised his voice, showing off his unique clear voice.

“Limond! “Where is Master Limond!”

As if responding to the shout, a blue shape appeared from somewhere.

That’s a water spirit, right?

The spirit whose entire body was made of transparent water took the form of a naked boy. Instead of a lower body, it had a swirling stream of water, and it flew freely through the air as if surfing.

The spirit circled the garrison, extinguished the fire, then soared high into the sky and slowly rotated. Then the swirling stream spread out like a puffy dress.

The sight of faint moonlight scattering across the water curtain was nothing short of mysterious.

Is it because I was daunted by its grandeur?

The magic bandits wandered around the garrison a few times and soon disappeared toward the forest.

“ha.”

The tension went away and I sat down with a long sigh.
