My Villains Episode 047
13. Army of Young Lions (2)
Screaming like that and running rampant like crazy, the bandits, tired of themselves, hesitated and spread their distance.
“Damn, there’s no such thing as an ogre...” “That sword- isn’t that magic?”
“I thought I saw it wrong...! That’s blood magic!”
The guys who had retreated like that looked back a little and suddenly took on a bright color. The bandits who had fled into the forest were running this way again.
I think there are well over a hundred at least.
Ha, there is no such thing as a complete dog pack.
“Grania. Grania!”
Thanks to my desperate rampage, the bound Grania was lying at my feet before I knew it. I touched her with the heel a few times, but there was no response. Damn, you’re not dead, are you?
At my action, the nearby magicians slowly drove their horses with their eyes glistening. Seeing them form a siege net at a distance, it seemed that they had no intention of attacking directly.
Are you wasting your time? Absolutely the worst.
“Huwoo ...... Car
wedge
who was preparing for the last rush by choosing a breath!
“O”
I immediately ducked to avoid the arrow. By the way-
“Huh?”
The arrow was not aimed at me from the beginning.
“Quack!”
Hearing the screams, he looked up and saw an arrow with a blue feather stuck in the neck of a certain bandit.
He fell off his horse like a piece of rotten wood, clutching the shaft.
The heavy sound of horses’ hooves, which had been buried in the turmoil of bandits until now, was crossing the plain.
I unconsciously looked back.
It was the same with the magicians. A trembling voice was heard.
“That’s that-”
“They’re knights!”
A group of knights were rushing towards the ship of a demonic enemy filled with fear.
The knights, shining blue in the moonlight, were showing off their presence with the heavy sound of their hooves instead of shouting.
I – so Kim Seung-soo – have never actually witnessed the existence of a ‘knight’. As a person living in the 21st century, it is very natural.
However, apart from the lack of experience, those who ran from there were obviously knights. I could tell by looking at it.
There were only sixteen of them, but they were terribly menacing.
A giant horse, plate gold armor that can’t be seen through a gap, a helmet with a faceplate, and a spear that can be seen beyond 3 meters (W槍).
Some of them even had armor on their horses.
To be able to run so lightly while carrying a rider and wearing heavy armor... I don’t know, but it must be a good breed of combat horse.
The knights were accelerating little by little, but the line spread in a straight line was not disturbed.
The distance was close enough that if you stretched out your arm, you could touch the knight next to you, and no one was ahead or behind.
Unlike me, who was mesmerized by a scene like a scene from a movie, the bandits showed a variety of faces in the face of imminent death.
“Get back to the river!”
“What bullshit is that! If you let go of them, the boss will kill you!”
“If you don’t back down, you will die right away! And I’ve already missed a few, so who cares!”
“Cargill! Captain Cargill!”
“Cargill is dead! I was beaten by a magician!”
Then another arrow flew in and pierced the mouth of a demon.
Come to think of it, only one of the knights was holding a bow instead of a spear.
The knight in the center of the ranks fired two more arrows in quick succession, killing two enemies. He was a man with great bow skills.
Then he hooked the bow to the saddle and pulled out the longsword slung around his waist. Then, he stretched out his sword towards the magicians and shouted.
“charge-!”
The booming voice was unexpectedly that of a young man.
In response to the shouts of the young knight with a long sword drawn, his comrades also responded and threw their spears forward.
As the knights accelerated with full force, a loud sound resounded like falling hailstones.
“How about taking this opportunity to wipe it all out! Opportunities to face them on the plains are rare!”
A few knights agreed with that opinion, but the gold-encrusted knight shook his head resolutely.
“no! Rescuing these mercenaries is the priority! Everyone returns to the garrison!”
“yes!”
There was no questioning. The knights immediately formed a lozenge and started running north.
Knights with Ankir, blue cloaks and barding stood at the rear, and knights with gold decorations stood at the fore.
The magicians chasing him fired arrows, but their poor recurve bows couldn’t pierce the thick plate armor.
Occasionally, when there were guys approaching, a couple of knights would jump out, slay them, and then come back.
A series of processes took place naturally without any special command. These knights
must have been working hand-to-hand for a long time.
Looks like you got it right.
As I thought to myself, a strangely familiar place caught my eye.
It was a garrison surrounded by carts erected sideways and a giant spear made of wood as an outer wall.
A huge flag fluttered in the center, embroidered with the profile of a golden lion standing on its hind legs.
The scenery in which the background seen in the 2D screen was embodied in reality was still new.
My sentiments ended with a loud shout that erupted from within the garrison.
Subsequently, dozens of arrows pierced the night sky, and an arrow that flew low enough to grazed a knight’s helmet feathers knocked down countless bandits that were pursuing him.
The knights who had shaken off some of the bandits entered the garrison through the passage.
“Now pull!”
With a sergeant’s shout, six or seven soldiers pulled the rope.
Then, the magic spear, which was lying low on the floor, stood up at an angle.
Kwajik!
“Keep it!”
“Oh, Shang-!”
Four human horses were threaded like skewers on wooden wedges sharp like fangs.
Before the horse’s mournful neighing was over, the soldiers waiting nearby rushed in unison and hurled their long spears.
Four or four of the bandits barely stopped talking and lost their lives as they were stabbed by spear blades.
“Back off!”
“Retreat retreat!”
Arrows were continuously pierced at the retreating bandits.
Looking back, I saw crossbowmen wearing weapons on top of the overturned cart and archers standing behind them shooting arrows nonstop.
The group of bandits, who suffered great damage in an instant, spat curse words and retreated.
“Fight back!”
“Set it on fire and throw it away!”
The bandits, who were in high spirits, circled around the garrison, shooting arrows and throwing torches.
The arrows were mostly blocked by the shields raised by the soldiers, but the torches quickly grew in size as they consumed carts and dry grass.
“Damn water! Bring a bucket of water!”
“But there isn’t enough drinking water.”
“Stop being stupid!”
The desperate soldiers shouted busily, and the caged dogs barked loudly as well.
The gold-decorated knight who saw it also raised his voice, showing off his unique clear voice.
“Limond! Where is Master Limond!”
As if responding to that shout, a blue figure appeared from somewhere.
Is that- a water spirit?
The spirit, whose whole body was made of transparent water, had the appearance of a naked boy. Instead of her lower body, she wore a swirling stream of water, which flew freely through the air as if she were surfing.
The spirit circled the garrison, extinguished the fire, and soared high into the sky, spinning slowly. Then, the swirling stream of water spread out like a puffy dress.
The faint moonlight scattering in a dizzying way on the water curtain was very mysterious.
Was it because he was overwhelmed by his majesty?
The bandits wandered around the garrison several times and then disappeared towards the forest.
“ha.”
I was relieved and sat down with a long sigh.
