My Villains Episode 091

24. Boss Phase (1)

I stood on top of the high gate tower and looked across the reed field.

The magic band, which had once numbered well over a thousand strong, was cut in half by the prolonged siege. According to the scouts, there were only about 700 men, or about twice the number of soldiers guarding the walls.

“Isn’t it worth it if it costs twice as much? “I just have to play defense anyway.”

The person who answered my question was Lord Ariad’s squire, Acer.

“Not really. That’s seven hundred, they’re the real deal who got rid of the middle-class people. “They are the elite troops of the robber barons who were famous in the central part of the continent.”

“Hmm.”

“Besides, take a look at the condition of the castle walls.”

At Acer’s chin, I glanced at the walls extending on both sides of the gate.

In the aftermath of the recent earthquake, more than half of the watchtower had collapsed.

In addition, the wall about 50 meters to the left of the gate was completely destroyed.

Although a large window was laid in front and the collapsed area was filled with bricks and stones, it was nothing compared to the strong castle wall.

“In a situation like this, you can’t believe they took out all the old artillery (small guns, ballistas) and even the magicians. Are you saying stop it or stop it?”

Just as Acer was complaining, all the holes in the middle of the castle wall were empty. All five old guns and three wizards originally guarding this place were stationed in the port.

Was Acer’s voice loud? The knight who was observing the enemies through the battlements looked back.

“Stop whining, Acer. “The battle at the port will be twice as difficult as here.”

“Ugh. “I’m sorry, sir.”

As Sir Ariad scolded, the main battlefield was not here, but the port.

Unlike the magic pirates, whose numbers had decreased due to continuous damage, the pirates stationed on the stone island beyond the bay were relatively intact.

Moreover, the leader of the pirates, the ‘Priest of the Deep Sea’, and his direct subordinates have not yet appeared.

The Deep Sea Priest, the father of the Unveiled Witch, was probably gritting his teeth in anger at losing his daughter. It will definitely not be an easy fight.

Sir Ankir, who was standing next to Sir Ariad, said with a grin.

“And, Acer. “If you’re going to complain, don’t blame your lord, blame it on Phoenix next to you.”

“•••yes? “Do you mean phoenix?”

“okay. “It was Poynix who suggested moving all the old guns and wizards to the port.”

“Yes?”

Acer looked back at me with his sharp eyes wide open. I said, scratching my head in embarrassment.

“When I went underground, I ran into the fishmen.”

“Fishmen in the sewers? however?”

“Well, looking at the various circumstances, it seems like they are in league with pirates. So, I advised the prince that he needed to be careful.”

“… … Ha, that’s how it happened.”

“Well, it’s not like the magic bandits are using great siege weapons anyway, right? Even if there was a long-established store and a wizard, it wouldn’t have been much of a help. O”

“I guess it’s okay. “How can that not help?”

“•••is it.”

As Acer sighed helplessly, Sir Ariad smiled slightly.

“Anyway, the final decision is yours.

He did it. And, what is there to be afraid of? “The fire woman, the red bear, and the bloody swordsman are all here.”

“Uh, Lord Ariad. “Don’t say things like that.”

Lord Ariad and Sir Ankir burst into laughter as I cupped their faces.

‘Fire Lady’ and ‘Red Bear’ were nicknames for Ellen and Utequoi, respectively.

Ellen became quite famous in the city through her activities at the Salt Castle, and her original nickname was the ‘Fire Witch’. When Lord Ariad called her a fire woman, she must have purified herself in her own way.

Ute Kwai got a nickname even though he didn’t do anything in particular. Is it because it is so large and has a unique appearance?

Or maybe it was because I, who had become a well-known name, got into an ignorant fist fight every morning.

Still, what is a red bear, a red bear? To give someone a nickname based on their skin color, everyone in this neighborhood must be a racecist.

anyway. Me, Ellen, and Utequai became the trio with the most ominous and cheesy nicknames in South Harbor.

“by the way. “It doesn’t seem to be moving at all.”

“They are not stupid either. Lord Ankir. “The pirates are probably waiting to shake the city first.”

Sir Ankir clicked his tongue briefly in response to Sir Ariad’s answer.

“Tsk, we already have a small army, but it looks like each individual faction has been attacked. Since we can’t empty the walls, it would be better to attack first.”

The forces currently on the walls consisted of one hundred and fifty castle gate guards, one hundred and fifty territory troops, and twenty cavalry under the prince’s direct command.

Not only is there a lack of pages, but the average quality is also poor considering that Yeongji-gun is a bunch of bastards.

Sir Ariad, who knew this well, shook his head.

“Are you planning on leading the cavalry into a charge? “I’ll tell you in advance, this is absolutely unacceptable.”

“Shouldn’t we help the port if we chase those guys out quickly? “They are starving, so if we attack them with momentum, they will fall helplessly.” “It would be better to empty the walls, but we cannot use such reckless tactics. Have you already forgotten your master’s instructions?”

“… “Keuung.”

As Sir Ankir frowned in dissatisfaction, Sir Ariad looked back at me and continued.

“Here, let’s trust Poynix and his colleagues.”

As people’s eyes gathered, I smiled awkwardly.

At that time, a soldier came up to the gatehouse.

“Harold, we are ready!” After receiving the report, the commander looked at Sir Ankir and Sir Ariad in turn. As the two knights nodded, the commander raised his voice.

“Beat the drum!”

Thump, thump!

Drums began to sound from the nearby castle walls. The formation of the magic bandits lurking in the reed field shook slightly.

Kugugoong!

The gate made of iron plates opened with a harsh friction sound. A gap wide enough for a carriage to pass through.

The rhythmic sound of drums, the torrezil of excited horses, the prayers of frightened soldiers, the swearing of hungry thieves, the fluttering of high flags, the cries of clever jackdaws… … .

Even in that crowded battlefield, my sensitive hearing was able to distinguish heavy sounds. The sound of footsteps leaving the gate.

When the sound of footsteps became faint enough, a large man appeared between the battlements.

Paralock.

White, black, and red feathers danced in the wind. A hat decorated with dozens of feathers fluttered like wings and a tail split in two.

The tip of the formal hat, which would have reached around the calf if worn by an ordinary person, only stayed at the waist level due to the owner’s physique.

The man who was looking down at the reed field slowly turned his head and looked up at the gate tower.

The large man wearing a feathered formal hat and holding a large stone helmet was, of course, Ute Kwai.

After leaving the castle wall and walking about 20 meters, there was no sign of tension on his face.

He just looked up at me with small, pitch-black eyes that showed no emotion.

Somehow, laughter came out and I smiled.

Then Utequai, a berserker wearing two coats of battle makeup with seabird blood covering his eyebrows, cheeks, chin, and chest, snorted and spat on the floor.

… … That fucking bastard.

At that moment, Utequai’s chest swelled greatly. Then, he turned his head and started yelling.

“me! Hatanka with Riku!”

… … Seriously, one voice is killer. Don’t you think there’s a loudspeaker in your neck instead of vocal cords?

“Chief, come out!”

Ute Kwai’s slurred and stiff pronunciation became an unfamiliar and threatening declaration thanks to the huge voice.

“For killing my tribe members, pay the price!”

Phew.

At that moment, a sea breeze blew from the south. The reed field, which had been ruined by a horde of magic bandits, was swept by a strong sea wind and turned towards the north.

“Hatanka’ae! Su-ray!” At first glance, it seemed as if the reed field was being turned over by the roar of the Utequai.

Even though no matter how loud their voices were, they could not create a wind that swept the earth, the magic bandits were visibly agitated.

Sir Ankir, who was looking down the gatehouse with a blank face, opened his mouth.

“Hathankae, sourei? “What does that mean, Lord Ariad?”

“Attack the great warrior, challenge him, well, that’s what it means.”

“… … “That’s cool.”

uh? wait for a sec.

“Lord Ariad, do you understand what he is saying?”

Sir Ariad scratched his dirty chin and nodded.

“When I was young, I had a relationship with a tribe in the grasslands.”

“So, does that mean Hatanka is the Great Warrior?”

“I see. “It literally means a warrior representing the tribe.” While the berserker’s roar erupted again, the old knight took a moment to choose his words.

“It’s truly amazing to see the Great History of the Plains in a place like this.”

Even while the leisurely conversation was taking place on top of the gatehouse, Utequai was shouting.

Ute Kwai draped his dolme over his shoulders, showing off his overflowing spirit and strange rhythm. Then he took his steps.

One step to ‘Hathankae’ and one step to ‘Suray’.

With the dolme draped over his shoulder, he straightened his shoulders and back and walked proudly.

It was.

“Hatanka’aO! Su-ray!”

As if the magic bandits thought it was no good, six or seven magic archers holding recurve bows rushed out. The horse archers quickly closed the distance by flicking the reins and pulled the string with all their might.

Wedge!

Half of the arrows that flew in that way missed in vain. And the rest, when Ute Kwai’s shoulder tattoo glowed black, Ussusu, threw his head down on the floor.

Yes.

“Hatanka’aO! Su-ray!”

A roar erupted again in response to that mysterious phenomenon.

It is clearly visible that the morale of the magic bandits is falling away.

Before we knew it, Utequai was closer to the swarm of magic bandits than to the gate.

At that time, an excited magician jumped forward. It was a magical enemy equipped with fairly good armament, including a round helmet and a long-handled axe.

“You bastard with a loud voice!”

Behind the horse riding at full speed, crushed reed leaves were mixed with the dust.

… … Well, I don’t think it’s named. Could it be a looter leader?

Even after seeing the magic enemy attacking him from the front, Ute Kwai seemed unfazed.

All I did was hang the dolme down and hold the handle longer.

“Kyaaap!”

When the marauding thief raised his ax with a loud cheer, the dolme began to spin heavily.

“Hmph!”

The heavy rotation accelerated in an instant thanks to Ute Kwai’s monstrous strength and the weight of the pendulum.

Bah!

The horse, whose ear was hit by a large rock, was unable to scream and fell sideways.

“What a dog-”

The rider, too, had his head crushed before he could even finish his curse.

Utequai let go of the dolme and stretched both hands toward the sky, as if in celebration.

“Athar Marta! Shiko rec’ne!”

Several eyes, including Lord Ankir and mine, turned towards Lord Ariad. The unsightly old knight opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

“… … ‘Mother, watch over me!’ “It’s called that.”

The provocative actions of a barbarian caused a series of foul-tempered magic enemies to come out.

As befits thieves who know neither honor nor manners, they attacked Ute Kwai all at once.

However, arrows and javelins could not cause any damage to it, and sometimes, if the weapon was lucky enough to touch the red skin, the black aura would repel the enemy.

As fifteen magic enemies were defeated in an instant, Named finally jumped out from the center of the enemy camp.

“Grrr, *purr* gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr possible!”

A rough and heavy voice, like boiling phlegm.

Skin that is lumpy as if there are pieces of stone embedded in it, and coarse hair that grows sparsely all over the body.

Arms hanging down below the knees and sagging belly fat.

Her hideous naked body was clearly exposed because she was not wearing a single piece of cloth.

The boss phase’s random name was ‘Scale Ogre Haklio’.

… … Holy crap, is Haklio really popping out?

Haklio in the game was the most vicious among the randomly named characters that appeared in the boss phase.

The spec itself is a gangster, but it is full of annoying characteristics, and is truly the worst name.

So far, I’ve fought ‘Poison’, ‘Iron Bone’, and ‘Golden Molly’, and also met ‘Altar’. But this time it’s Haklio?

Really, the random elements are filled with only the most shitty things… … .

At that time, someone pulled the hem of his cloak.

“trunnion.”

It was Ellen who was sitting on a chair behind her.

“… … “What’s wrong with your face?”

“What’s wrong with my face?”

“You look like a spoiled puppy. “Unlucky.”

Contrary to his harsh words, his eyes showed concern.

“Does that mean I look like a dog?”

Ellen sighed as if she felt sorry for my question.

“You’re really upset, you. “Stop picking up anything and eating it on a regular basis.”

“… … “How could you not say a word?”

With a faint smile on his face, he cupped Ellen’s arms. Has he slowly gotten used to it now? Ellen wasn’t surprised and leaned in, wrapping her arms around my neck.

“Now, our ‘Fire Witch’ should step forward as well.”

“Please, don’t call me that stupid nickname.”

“Bounce. “The guidance is good.”

“… … “Who likes it?”

“Who is it, you? The night before yesterday, in my sleep, I heard ‘The Fire Witch Appears!’ It was like this, Kek!”

Ellen, whose face was red, was strangling me, so I kept my mouth shut and walked towards the palace tower.
