Chapter 151

My Villains, Chapter 151

, 38. Golden Sludge (8)

“Quit.”

A woman was wrestling with armor in a spacious room.

The woman’s name is ‘Dionea no he’. She was the wife of Baron Mallory and the hostess of Longville.

What she was wrestling with was a pair of scale armor topped with gray fur.

“ha.”

‘It’s too heavy.’

The densely woven pieces of iron and the lye and oil-fed fur were excessively heavy. It was not a weight that Dionea, who was small and slender even for a woman, could handle.

“Can I help you, ma’am?”

Dionea turned around at the sudden voice. Then, when he saw the tall knight standing in front of the room door, he sighed.

“Sir Phoenix.”

“Like last time, you’re really surprised.”

“...Iknow, right.”

Dionea’s complexion darkened.

“You shouldn’t be surprised by something like this.”

Shii Phoenix, she muttered, came over and accepted the armor.

“Why are you struggling alone? What about the servants?”

“I was sent to the gateway. It’s an easy situation for one soldier.”

“You mean the maids too?”

“I sent the rest except for a few small children. Even if you can’t fight, you’ll be able to do chores.”

“...okay.”

He looked over the armor and shook it a couple of times. It was a light movement, like opening a blanket.

“It’s too big and heavy...is it your wife’s?”

“...no. It’s the armor the baron likes to wear.”

A watery voice continued.

“Even though you haven’t worn it since you married me

.”

“Why?”

“Because he suffered a lot during the war... his health deteriorated.”

” ah.”

Phoenix, who had been scratching his eyebrows for a while, opened his mouth.

“...Well, leave the mercenaries to Chester. He’s an experienced soldier, so he’ll handle it.”

“I can’t do that. I have the duty to handle this as the lord’s deputy.”

“Still, there is no reason for your wife to be armed.”

“...why?”

Phoenix shrugged.

“Because it won’t help anything.”

“Because I am a woman?”

The knight smiled and shook his head at the question that was somewhat vague.

“Gender doesn’t matter. The problem is that you are not a warrior.”

Dionea kept her mouth shut. Then, making up his mind, he looked up at Phoenix.

“If only warriors could arm themselves, I would be a warrior today.”

“...Being a warrior is not something that can be achieved through such a declaration.”

“If you’re just going to say that, then please leave. I will prepare it myself.”

After saying that, she snatched the armor from Phoenix’s hand.

“Oops,”

he said, and immediately fell to the side. It is because of not being able to overcome the weight of the armor.

“Oh my—”

Fortunately, Dionea was not hurt thanks to Phoenix quickly extending her arm. However, the hem of her skirt was torn by the iron pieces of her armor.

“Are you okay, madam?”

“......Ah um.”

The baroness, who was in the arms of the knight, stuttered for a moment before straightening her posture.

“Yes, excuse me.”

“no. Excuse me.”

There was silence for a while.

Dionea trembled with shame.

While making a fuss about arming myself, I felt ridiculous for myself wearing a white kirtle and a velvet vest.

And even though it had only been two weeks since her husband disappeared, she hated herself blushing in the arms of another man.

Phoenix, who had been silently watching her, suddenly opened her mouth.

“You feel responsible.”

“...as it should be. It is my duty as a lady.”

“I’m worried that that’s not all,

ma’am.”

Black eyes stared down at dark green ones.

Dionea, intoxicated by the dark, deep and enchanting color, opened her mouth without even realizing it.

“...why did you help me?”

“yes?”

“The reason you helped me with Longville. 3 Is it because of the prince’s order to help the weak?” Phoenix nodded with a confused expression.

“Well, there is that too.”

“...Are there other reasons?”

He pondered for a moment, then scratched his eyebrows and replied.

“Because of my friend.”

“A friend?”

“...I have a friend who wants to live in Longville. I couldn’t let Anupad or the mercenaries mess with it.”

” ah.”

Dionea nodded quietly. Then he touched his forehead and burst out laughing.

“I see. for a friend.”

“ma’am’?”

She looked up at the man.

“I guess I was the only one guilty after all.”

“...what are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“I was punished.”

The woman continued with a sad smile.

“The Lord has punished you. The baron died because of me.” As Dionea’s eyes quickly became moist, Phoenix made a pitiful expression.

“It’s a punishment. The Baron was defeated by Anupad. It has nothing to do with your wife

.” “No. It’s because of having an immature wife.”

“...the Lord won’t kill a man for a kiss, ma’am.”

“It’s not just one kiss! I am,”

Dionea, who raised her voice abruptly, shook her head.

“...Sorry Sir.”

I swallowed a laugh and shouted.

“What you guys are doing is crazy, you assholes! Can’t you see people are anxious!”

Of course, the confrontation between hundreds of armed personnel in front of the permanent residence, and nowhere else, caused serious anxiety.

Even though it was still broad daylight, there were no civilians around. Everyone is hiding in their houses and watching them.

“So the Baroness made a condition! Mercenaries, except for those who will receive the bounty, leave the territory right now!”

At my words, the five leaders of the mercenaries simultaneously contorted their faces as if they were trying to weave them. Well, if I told them to let go of all my men and only the last five remain, of course they would be scared.

Among the five bosses, a mercenary with a long beard came forward and expressed dissatisfaction.

“The points obtained from the hunting festival are not mine alone, but all of our mercenaries! Receiving the bounty alone!”

“That’s your case! The only thing on the Hunt Festival bulletin board is your name. What have your men to do with it?”

“dog sound!”

Other bosses also expressed their displeasure blatantly, such as spitting on the floor or swearing. Other mercenaries followed them and started growling ferociously.

The reason the mercenaries came out so easily was probably because they were confident in fighting.

All of the mercenaries gathered in front of the Yeongju Hall were experienced veterans. All of them were wearing scale armor or chain mail, and their weapons and shields were of very good quality.

They couldn’t see whether they had left their longbows or crossbows at the gate, but they were menacing enough just armed with shields and one-handed weapons.

Besides, they are rich in experience like mercenaries. They are probably incomparably stronger than the ordinary soldiers of the Territory.

There were even a couple of guys who looked like wizards mixed in. They were mercenary wizards who were rarely seen. This side was similar in number, but there was no way that the conscripts, who wore iron helmets and long spears in quilted armor, could not compete with such veterans.

Of course, I had to avoid combat as much as possible, but I rather drew my sword as if I was going to run into it right away.

visor!

When Hrunting’s milky blade appeared, the cluttered atmosphere turned cold.

The tension draws a smile on my face without even realizing it.

“Did you come here with the intention of wiping it all out?”

The growl that followed was half sincere.

“Do it, you bastards.”

He narrowly walked through the gap between the mercenaries and the soldiers.

“I promise you, half of you will die by me.”

The voice was not very loud, but it seemed that no one could hear it because the son-in-law was quiet.

“The other half will be killed by a red bear.”

Mercenaries glanced behind me.

Utequai stood still with his dolma on his back, but that was enough. If your eyes are properly set, you will feel intimidated enough.

“Those who are lucky enough to survive will be burned to death.”

The mercenaries seemed to remember the pillars of fire that turned the night sky red two days ago. An ominous stream of air began to flow through his mouth and mouth.

Then someone shouted to reverse the ominous air current.

“One of the X-arm mouths is cracking well!” I turned around and saw one of the five bosses spitting and walking forward.

He was a tall man, up to my nose. Armed with a thick scale armor, an iron helmet, an ignorant-looking Pulsion, and a large one-blade, it looks very menacing.

“...What are you doing, bastard?”

As if answering my self-talk, someone shouted among the mercenaries.

“Sorgil is out!”

“It’s the Iron Jaw Sorrel!”

“Oh oh!”

Sorgil glared at me as if excited by the mercenaries’ response, and shrugged.

“What is your nickname? A bloody beacon? An enemy knight of the Silver Prince?”

And smiles, showing yellow teeth.

“Catch the X! I don’t believe in rumors!”

“Wow-!”

The response exploded again. The spirit of the mercenaries was rising.

“Uh” M3

Actually, I understood the position of the mercenaries to some extent, so I tried to avoid making victims as much as possible, but it seems a bit difficult.

really? You’ve been starving for a long time.’

“......uh. What the fuck.”

It seems that something unpleasant has crossed my mind.

Anyway, I realized that this moment is pretty important. So I immediately raised my blood.

“Haha”

I let out a hot breath, and my vision turned red. The downy hairs all over the body soar, and the umami flavor lingers in your mouth.

As I smiled, Sorgill struck the shield with a pulse.

“Stop acting like a fucking bravado and attack me, you bitch-”

There was no reason to listen to the barking, so I kicked the ground straight away.

“Huh.”

In a world that slowed down, I alone moved at my own pace.

Seeing me approaching right in front of me in an instant, Sorgil raised his shield.

He violently pulled down the shield with his left hand. Almost at the same time, Hrunting threw out.

A milky blade and a rough pulse collided in the middle.

Knock-!

The sound of friction made by steel is prolonged. I twisted my wrist and laid the blade down.

Kang!

With a light sound, the pulse that was entangled in Hrunting soars into the sky.

Sorgil’s eyes widened. The tip of the knife pierced the man’s neck.

hooked!

“Kreuk”

Blood gushed out of his throat and spurted out through his mouth. The hand that missed the pulse scratched my shoulder meaninglessly.

cut off the head Thanks to a sharp knife and experience, the work was completed in an instant.

“Huh.”

I glanced at the mercenaries.

Unfortunately, no one made eye contact.

So what about this product?

“Heuuu”

I raised the thing I was holding in my hand diagonally. And

bang

red firecrackers went off.

“OO 01-1” – —I .

“What a fuck!”

“That crazy bastard-”

The mercenaries screamed as the blood that soared into the sky poured down like rain.

“Hehe.”

An unpleasant sound came from somewhere, as if whispering in my ear.

‘...just a little more please. Let’s jump between them. They’re wormy newbies anyway.’

I suddenly got goosebumps and threw away the mop-like head.

The head, thrown without meaning, rolled somewhere. Then, it stopped at the feet of the other bosses, including Randall.

I was frowning at the filthy feeling in my stomach when I met their eyes.

“what.”

The mercenaries’ faces turned white.

“I-”

The mercenaries withdrew, led by Randall, whose chin rattled.
