My Villains Episode 416
64. Fog (3)
A wet blade of grass brushes my chin. It was because the rain showers that had been pouring down for half a day yesterday soaked the whole ground.
My clothes were soaked from lying on the grass. While crawling from afar, the slippery soil was so thick that even the trouser hem was heavy. The operation hasn’t even started yet, but I’m already desperate for warm bath water.
“When are you coming, these kids?”
It was Atalanta who grumbled quietly. She was lying next to me in a similar manner to me.
“Let’s wait patiently. You still have plenty of time.”
“Relax? In a place like this?”
Atalanta, who had her hair tied up in a bun to reveal her long neckline, supported her chest with her elbows while rustling.
“I feel like my back is about to break, and there’s no place I can’t stand. How the hell are you supposed to wait?”
Instead of answering, I looked ahead. The fog was already rising, probably because of the heavy showers during the day. Only the swaying torches are dimmed, and the silhouette of the castle cannot be seen.
The sorcerer who was lying on the other side in my place agreed with Atalanta’s words.
“That’s true- *no* no feeling in my elbows and knees after hours of crawling.” A young man in his mid-twenties with a metal rim around his forehead. It was Master Epos, a genius magician who was accompanying me on the orders of Prince Ulkar.
“A few hours didn’t even last an hour...don’t be mean.”
“It’s tough to say that you’re sick. Lord Phoenix, this tidying up and post-meal exercise would be nothing but not for me. It has grown so beautifully that I have never crawled or walked for such a long time.”
“Then why don’t you close your snout for a while? It would be a little less difficult.” He grunted a little and wiped his face. Something that I don’t know whether it’s sweat or raindrops dripped down.
“How did you become quiet?”
To my question, Atalanta answered with a wink at Epos.
“It made me realize how unsightly it is for grown-ups to whine.”
The young wizard huffed, ‘Are you telling me to listen to that?’, but Atalanta just shrugged.
The arcane hunter Atalante, the genius wizard Epos, and me. It was a trio of people who would infiltrate Eisbovald by hiding in a corpse cart tonight
.
I told Epos and Atalanta to wait leisurely, but as the night got deeper and deeper, even I became nervous.
Maybe it was a mistake to trust the thugs. I don’t have enough time, but I wonder if I’m seduced by the funny attitude of Deozen or something, and I’m losing the day for no reason.
It feels like it’s well past midnight. Just as I was about to burst out swearing in my nervousness, a disgusting smell wafted up in front of me. Soon, a pair of dim lights appeared with a rattling sound.
“come.”
Spreading out on the wet grass, we checked the presence of people with our nerves on edge.
“...I think it’s two people.”
“O”
While Atalanta and I sharpened our senses, Master Epos cast a spell. As soon as the three words in Milano were finished saying, “Scatter and smell the scent,” a small whirlwind blew up. The whirlwind soon died down and spread the wind containing the reverberation of mana in all directions.
It was the ‘Detect Magical Power’ spell.
“I don’t feel anything special.”
I nodded and lifted myself slightly. I blew a whistle. I tried to imitate the birdsong, but it wasn’t very similar.
Anyway, the cart, which gave off a stench at my awkward whistle, hesitated and headed this way.
“lily.”
“late.”
The gangster Deogen lowered his head as if to apologize. He was wearing an oil lamp and wearing a faded hood, and the back of his head glanced at the back of his body as if it was itching.
“sorry. I was hiding for a while.”
“Hide yourself?”
“Suddenly, the bastard mayor will drop the plague. There’s no moon and the fog is terrible , so I thought I
‘d look around the castle walls all the way...
“That won’t be it. It’s something that happens often.”
It is said that the mayor named ‘Pash Horse’ once worked as a bureaucrat in Baeknyeonseong’s concubine. In the meantime, he had earned the trust of the Duke of Avillambers and was entrusted with Aisbobalt, which connects the three provinces of Topal Obdorp-Anst.
Since it served as the main strategic point of the dukedom and the center of trade, there would be no flaws in terms of loyalty to the Strom family or ability to possess. However, I heard that he had no powers with him because he was from Korea and the United States, and that he had a strong reputation for public opinion and was not popular because of his strong personality, perhaps because of his greed for a hereditary title.
“Not to mention the South Gate, which is in a snowball fight with the enemy and the Nari’s army, and the East Gate, which can be attacked at any time. The West Gate was very tense from the beginning.”
“The North Gate?”
“It’s not even a day or two that the market is fucking, so I must have been scared for a while. Since the sergeants on that side were pre-soaked, they would soon be stuck everywhere, and the soldiers would just sit around and chat. If you are sleeping on the cart, I can take you to the front yard of the Haenggung Palace.”
I don’t know if it will go according to his boast, but I couldn’t go back empty-handed after coming this far.
“People have changed. What is that guy?”
“He is my dearest brother. The guy you saw before had all his teeth brushed out, so he only has seven left. I couldn’t bring him back as if I was going to run out of breath at any moment.”
I scratched my eyebrows for a moment, then abruptly reached out my hand. As my fingertips ran down my neck, Deozen stood back and stepped back.
“Sigh”
“Don’t be afraid. Because it doesn’t kill me.”
He fumbled near his throat and swallowed a gulp. It was because the sticky blood that seeped through Death King’s scaled handcuffs was smeared there.
“Did you hear some rumors about me?”
“Yes- yes Nari.”
“Then you have a rough idea of what I can do with that blood, right?”
Deogen clenched his trembling chin and nodded.
As Kurz’s voice rose, life erupted among the thugs who filled the auction house. Deogen burst into laughter as he stared at the men armed with weapons.
“Iya, military commander turned on the light in his eyes and conscripted, but there are so many children left. My younger siblings are all sucking shit on the wall. As expected, our Danju is resourceful.”
Kurtz silently raised his hand while he was crying. The thugs guarding the door staggered to their feet and entered the store. The door was closed tightly.
“What is this situation?”
“What do you think you are doing?”
“Did you gather the kids to kill me?”
“No way. I’m going to hang you up and go to the safe house of the hobleu bastard.”
Deogen giggled.
“Ha why? Are you afraid it won’t work?”
“Because you don’t know.”
“Can’t that famous red knight, Master, just kill a few thugs?”
“Red knight, there must be no problem with Hoblu’s gang. But you don’t know the skills of the guys under the red knight.”
“You worry about nothing. The red knight, Nari, has come directly, so don’t be fooled.”
“...Is the red knight coming in person? You stupid bastard, what are you going to do with things like that!”
Kurz’s plan was simple.
It was intended to lure the kingdom army who was sitting in front of the south gate, bring a few knights or elite soldiers into Eisbobalt, release them into Hoblu’s safe house, induce a battle, and then rush in around dawn to deal with all the remaining guys. am.
Kurtz hurriedly ordered the man in the rat costume standing next to him.
“Damn, call all the kids waiting on the hoblu side! No, just stop moving and hide there!”
Even if the rumors about the red knight were only half true, the swordsmen infested with Eisbobalt wouldn’t be able to deal with him. The teachers of the swordsmen and those who were given the title of ‘sword master’ by the emperor must step up. But if the disturbance gets that big, the odds of hurting Kurz and his gang increase...
“It doesn’t have to be.”
“what?”
Deogen, who had a fishy laugh, took a step back with his subordinate and added his words.
“Because I never stopped by the Hoblu’s house.”
Before Kurz could understand the meaning, Kwajik! The cart was smashed and three men and women came out.
“Oh, I thought you were going to die.”
Phoenix kneaded the back of her neck and stretched out, Atalanta couldn’t stand the nausea and immediately vomited on the floor.
“Can I take a break, Sir Phoenix?”
“What about your order?”
“Have you already entered the middle of the city? The battle mages here must also think they are allies.”
“Then rest. I won’t be able to afford that much.”
In front of the two men conversing in a foreign language, the thugs were unaware of the situation and kept their mouths open.
Either way, Epos squatted down and looked into the crystal ball. Something like blue smoke released from the crystal ball and was sucked into his nose and mouth.
While the young wizard was recovering mana, the nude female warrior vomited again with a loud noise, and the cold-looking handsome man pulled out his long sword.
“Can I kill everyone here?”
“Yes Nari. And the mayor and hoblu
“The other thugs we’ll deal with later, the mayor’s on hold.”
“yes? But”
“Instead of performing the sword dance here, we decided to deal with the mayor at our own discretion. If you want to see Mayor Jeong die, you can take care of the work here.”
Deogen quickly shook his head.
“No, sir. Please make sure to deal with only the thugs.”
“good.”
Phoenix dyed the blade a dark red light and looked around the auction house.
“Is it okay to make noise?”
“Take it easy. That piggy must have paid a lot of bribes by keeping his mouth shut anyway.”
Kurz, who belatedly grasped the situation, stammered with a pale face.
“Deogen wait... Red Knight Nari.”
“I’m sorry, uncle. Today’s deal is over. I don’t have much time.”
The blood knight jumped between the thugs holding weapons in an awkward position. In one breath, nine thugs were killed.
Frightened by the violence beyond imagination, the men screamed wildly. However, as Deogen assured, no one listened to the sounds coming from the auction house. The guards, residents, and even the officers and sergeants of the barracks only spat out a few words of complaint.
“ruler.”
Phoenix smiled in front of the last survivor.
“Isn’t it right to yield at the end?”
“...Thank you sir.”
Deogen looked down and picked up a dagger with a wet handle.
“X arm. This salted fish vendor-”
Kurz, whose blade was stuck under his throat, coughed a couple of times and coughed bloody foam before drooping down.
A real silence fell on Eisbowald’s market.
The night was still long.
