My Villains Episode 050
14. Berserker (1)
His name was ‘Albee’.
Even he didn’t know why it had such a cute name. Because he had no parents or brothers.
The first scene in his life that he remembers was getting beaten up by an angry merchant while stealing food.
From then on, he started begging and pickpocketing, and when he came to his senses, he had already become a member of a band of thieves.
The moment that changed Albee’s life was an encounter with a wounded wandering knight.
His gang swallowed their saliva as they saw the armor of the wandering knight crying out for help. The impatient thieves were blinded by material greed and attacked the wandering knight.
And surprisingly, they were all slaughtered by the dying wandering knight.
Alby, who was watching, sat under an oak tree and avoided the scorching sun.
And when the shouting mixed with profanity subsided, he approached the fallen wandering knight and stabbed his neck. From that day on, Albi became a wandering knight.
After that, Albee continued to focus on stealing.
What was different from before was that there was no longer a need to act as a subordinate.
Albee learned horseback riding and martial arts to pretend to be a wandering knight. As his gang grew in size, Albee’s imitation of a knight became more believable.
As Alby’s skills improved, his notoriety also increased, and the gang grew bigger.
When the number of thieves under his command exceeded a thousand, Albee realized that the status of ‘wandering knight’ did not suit him.
So, he made himself a nobleman and appointed his subordinates as knights.
‘Baron Albianne’ and his band of magic bandits were born.
Among the low-growing reed fields, numerous men and horses were encamped.
There was a wide rock lying in the middle of the camp, and a heavily armed man was sitting on it.
He was wearing black plate armor, so at first glance he looked like a knight.
The heavily armed man, calling himself ‘Baron Albian’, crossed his arms and frowned.
“The prince himself?”
“Yes, my lord. “A dozen cavalry have been moving around the river since dusk, looking like they’ll come over here at any moment.”
“Hmm. “That’s right.”
As Albienne was stroking her chin and lost in thought, the raiding party leaders standing around each raised their voices.
“It looks like they are trying to break through the siege, but we must stop them at all costs.”
“There may be some from South Harbor rushing to respond, my lord.”
“Well, there are less than 20 of them, so how about dragging them into the forest and killing them?”
It was a very polite tone for pretending to be a knight, but the Baron laughed and downplayed the opinions of his subordinates.
“Hmph, you guys are pretty stupid too. Does the head only work that way? If you wanted to cross the river, rather than taking your time, you would have taken advantage of the opportunity and crossed in one go.”
“then… …
“At first glance, it’s a trick. “It’s a ploy to focus attention on the prince and then break through elsewhere.”
The Baron clicked his tongue as he looked at his subordinates who were silent with puzzled expressions.
‘I can’t believe you have these ignorant bastards as your subordinates. ‘I need to quickly set up my territory, sit down, and completely replace it.’
“Sir Aldo! Tell the pirates the news. “I might aim for the beach.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Lord Pageno! To patrol around the tunnel. “You could turn your attention to the east and go straight into the tunnel.” After receiving the instructions, Pageno grumbled and expressed doubts.
“Didn’t you already send the kids to the tunnel? “I don’t think there’s any need for me to go there, my lord.”
Then the Baron’s face twisted and he snarled.
“It means if you see someone wandering around, chase after them and catch them, you stone-headed person. “Stop talking nonsense and run away before I tear out your eyes!”
At the Baron’s shout, Pageno cursed under his breath and hurriedly walked away.
While discussing the next plan, a messenger arrived in front of the Baron.
“What else?”
“They came over!”
The Baron’s eyes widened as his expectation that he would just wander around the river and waste time was wrong.
“W-what? how?”
“Arrows were fired from across the river, and the cavalrymen crossed the river in an instant!”
“arrow? “You brought infantry with you?”
“I think so!” After receiving the report, the Baron became very angry.
Not only was his prediction wrong, but one of the raiding leaders surrounding him laughed.
“You bastard!”
The Baron shouted and picked up the huge weapon leaning against the rock. It was a mace (flanged mace) with several pieces of iron attached to the weight.
Before the knights could react, the Baron struck down the mace raised with both hands.
Kwasik!
The raider leader, who was secretly laughing, had his head shattered without leaving a single word.
As blood mixed with white brain matter, burst eyeballs, and broken bones splattered everywhere, the raiders froze all at once. The Baron looked around at them and shouted again.
“Why are you standing there blankly, you poor brats! Gather all your troops!”
Baron Albian grinned and gritted his teeth as he saw the gray-faced marauding leaders running in all directions. May on the southern coast had unusually long days.
By the time the party left the garrison after a hearty dinner and reached the northwest coast, the sea was dyed red.
I was worried that I might be caught by the magicians wandering through the forest, but the low cliffs on the coast were blocking the white sand beach.
The white sand beach, with a moderate mix of round pebbles and fine sand, created a very nice scenery.
However, among the nine people sitting on the rock, Luke and I seemed to be the only ones relaxed enough to look around.
“The sun is finally setting.”
The man who sighed softly as he spoke was Uncle Randel, the heavy cavalryman who had given me a ride yesterday.
As the prince’s personal soldier, he was facing the sunset wearing only leather armor and light clothing.
“It moves slowly.”
“Yes, I guess so.”
As Mr. Randel, who nodded with an expression of displeasure, got up and shook his butt, the rest of the group also began to move.
The two scouts who followed as guides, the two personal soldiers who would deliver the prince’s letter, Grania with her brown hair tied tightly because she lost her helmet, Arnal with his bow tied around his bow, Mr. Luke with his sleeves rolled up, and me. Clinging to a small wooden boat.
As the eight men pushed the boat, leaving a long trail on the white sand, Ellen, who had been walking leisurely, was startled by the unexpectedly fast speed and made fun of her steps.
Why is this a boat all of a sudden?
I don’t know, damn it. It wasn’t like this in the game.
According to the original scenario, ‘Arrogant Lord Lyam’ had to plan the strategy.
It was a risky but simple operation in which the army moved through the secret passage to the west, and the player took advantage of the loosened siege to break through with all his might and return to South Harbor.
However, perhaps because the scenario was a bit twisted, in reality, Prince Ulkar was the central figure in planning the strategy.
This made the operation slightly more complex and much bolder.
From what the prince understood, the pirates and the magic bandits were in a cooperative relationship, but they did not get along very well.
The proof is that, despite occupying the sea outside the bay and the wide reed fields at the same time, no significant joint operation has been carried out so far.
Therefore, the prince considered the beach and coastal waters to be the biggest loophole in the siege network surrounding South Harbor.
So, the nine of us were ordered to use Plan B and follow the beach into South Harbor.
So what is Plan A?
It’s a direct breakthrough.
Last night’s chase on the plains resulted in over 100 casualties for the Ma Red Army.
Plan A was to break through head-on as the defense line along the Salt River would have been weakened accordingly.
If the enemy’s attention is drawn to our side, the probability of success on the front line increases, and if the attention of the enemy bandits is drawn to the front, the probability of success on our side increases.
If a head-on assault fails, no matter our success or failure, the prince will
I heard they’re going to run ‘A-2’… … . You really won’t do it, right? That was a really crazy idea.
When I reached the beach and the water rose up to my knees, I looked around and gestured.
“Everyone get on quickly! “I’ll push it.”
While watching the soldiers and colleagues boarding the boat, I suddenly looked back… .
“Poi, please help me.”
“… “What are you doing?”
“hurry. “I broke my shoe.”
Ellen, standing on the beach, said that and stretched out her hands to me.
I was shocked by his confident attitude, but I didn’t want to waste time, so I quickly picked him up and put him on the boat.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Angry waves crashed in with the tide, but I planted my feet firmly on the bottom and accelerated.
Eventually, when the water reached the level of my solar plexus, I held Arnal’s hand and got into the boat.
He squeezed the leather clothes that were hanging down from under his breastplate and asked the young man, no, boy, in front of him.
“Are the waves strong? “Is this okay?”
“Iknow, right. “I think I’ll have to go *groan* farther than I planned.”
The guy who responded by yelling with all his might was a young soldier named ‘Aibo’.
He was as tall as a man with a slim body, and his face was covered in acne, making him look like he was Ellen’s age or at most a year or two older.
“It would be difficult if we were caught by pirates. “Wouldn’t it be better to run along the beach?”
“Uh, that’s-”
Aibo hesitated for a moment, glanced sideways at the junior soldier, then shrugged his shoulders.
“Actually, I don’t know. “Romet must have thoughts.”
“Hmm, really?”
I don’t think so.
Romet, an experienced skirmisher, was sitting on the bow and looking out to sea. He was frowning and scratching his gray-gray beard, and even though he had been eating jjambap for over 20 years, he seemed to have no idea what to do.
In the end, the boat headed south at an angle, taking waves on its starboard side.
Grania and the three soldiers were rowing hard, but the strong waves made it difficult for them to speed up.
Looking at his anxious appearance, the spotted bird that I left behind at the garrison flickered before my eyes.
It would be really exciting to ride a horse along the beach.
The servants who took care of the horses said that Spotted Horse would become a decent fighting horse if trained well. Even though it’s not as good as the knight’s assault horse, it’s got a pretty good bone structure.
I’m worried again because I remember the spotted cat getting shot in the butt by an arrow. The servants will take good care of you, right? I heard that no matter how cheap a war horse is, it only costs fifty gold coins… .
Oh, I’m not doing this for money. We are comrades who survived the danger of death together, albeit briefly, so it’s natural to be worried, right?
Of course, he is a comrade who would sell it if he were given a lot of gold coins, but-
Hurt!
“Aaaah!”
My thoughts were interrupted by Ellen’s shrill scream.
Because a big wave hit the boat, the guy was completely wet and couldn’t find anyone to be angry about, so he was shaking around alone.
Then he glanced in my direction, saying, ‘Just say one word. He was giving off the vibe of ‘I’m going to make you really crazy.’
Of course, there’s no way I’ll keep my mouth shut because of that kind of atmosphere.
“I knew it would be like that since you were making a fuss about not wanting to get your feet wet. “You look good, bitch.”
“You idiot-”
Ellen, who was wheezing, glared harshly at Arnal, who was giggling happily.
Arnal, who was resting his arms on the railing, closed his mouth and looked the other way, and Ellen huffed for a moment and quickly turned her head.
