Chapter 223

Episode 223:

Sticky blood flowed down the sword and wet my hands.

This touch is always unpleasant. I didn’t think I would ever be able to get used to it.

No, wouldn’t it be different if it were Ahar? He was hostile to everyone he thought was human.

Even though they were barbarians, they did not fall outside that category.

Later, all the barbarians were wiped out by Ahar.

If things go according to the original story, Ahar would have come down to the south by now and run amok regardless of whether they are Easterners or Elves.

At that time, he was monopolizing Raymond’s swordsmanship talent, obscurity, and various other talents.

Now, all of that has come to naught due to the variable of mine... but honestly, I don’t know what will happen.

If I remember Ahar’s persistence, he will become stronger in some way.

And they’ll pounce.

To be honest, I wish he would die in the North... but I know that’s not possible.

He is not the main character of the world for nothing.

One way or another, he gets up and runs again.

“Anyway, I think this is enough...”

I look around.

Corpse Corpse Corpse Corpse... from front to side and back.

My surroundings were full of barbarian corpses.

It was the result of wielding ignorance in a trance, forgetting about time, hunger, and fatigue.

At this level, even if it were too much of a mountain, it could create a hill of corpses.

‘Maybe it was easier to deal with them because we were all together.’

Obviously, having a large population is a threat.

But now the barbarians were a ragtag bunch.

I just rushed in blindly without proper power or tactics.

Each of them was weaker than me, so it was just annoying, but dealing with them wasn’t difficult.

‘With Arjuna’s help, Auror operations became easier.’

Although it was a short period of time, he asked Arjuna to learn from him.

The red hawk has particularly developed aspects related to aurors.

Even Bane was impressed by their way of operating Aurors.

Although it was optimized for using a bow, there was still a lot to learn.

It is truly a master’s technique.

Strange that it doesn’t help.

“Oh, it’s going away.”

At this point, the barbarians seemed to sense a sense of danger and began to retreat.

Although he pushed ahead, he realized that it had its limits.

Moreover, this is our territory.

There are traps around us that only we know about and they don’t.

And on the castle walls, archery masters were helping.

It pierces the forehead and neck of the barbarians running from behind at once.

Even its strong body and regenerative power, which was only slightly lower than that of a troll, could neither prevent nor regenerate from destroying the brain and piercing the neck.

None of the knights who came with me died.

With adequate help and good use of the surrounding terrain, they eliminated the barbarians in their own way.

However, only Lanos believed in his own physical ability and attacked recklessly.

‘How can that be a person or a bear?’

Lanos put down his great sword and turned into a bear and flew around the battlefield.

At first, he couldn’t let go of his attachment to the greatsword and took it with him, but while dealing with barbarians, he found the greatsword cumbersome and threw it away without me saying anything.

“Khahahaha!”

I shook my head without realizing it when I saw Lanos charging at me with a lively laugh.

It has definitely gotten stronger.

Lanos, who had put down his great sword, had no barbarian who could fight him unless he was a warrior general.

Of course, but strangely enough, I felt like I was going to get hit at least once.

Lanos was so confident right now that he didn’t even know the subject.

Well, that’s my own business and it’s good to be confident, so I didn’t bother to touch it.

‘He’s anxious... but he fights well. All you have to do is fight well.’

Thanks to this, the morale of our troops also increased.

It’s even harder to beat the enemy so coolly and not have their morale go up.

“Let’s go back now.”

But that too has now come to an end.

They were walking backwards, stepping on the corpses that filled the pit.

Run away in fear?

It’s not like that.

Even as they retreated, they were burning with the spirit of victory.

He wanted to rush in right away. However, there was only one reason for their retreat.

AA AA AA-!!

A harsh voice came from behind them.

“Those monsters!”

The barbarians behaved in a manner that did not differ greatly from expectations.

He trusted the body he had trained rather than a ladder-like sculpture.

Their thick hands hold on to the rough part of the castle wall as they climb up.

A swarm of barbarians climbs the walls like a swarm of ants.

“load!”

The sharp voice of the Marquis of Easton.

The soldiers raise their bows and aim downward.

Arrows aimed at the barbarians climbing up at high speed.

Red hawks followed suit and aimed.

“Arjuna, please don’t let the barbarians get any closer.”

“All right.”

Arjuna went to the highest place on the wall.

Soon, a huge explosion is heard.

When I looked there, I saw Arjuna firing Aura arrows as much as he wanted.

A crater appeared where her arrow hit.

Naturally, the barbarians there were torn apart beyond recognition.

“launch!”

“launch!”

Arrows rain down.

After shaking off the barbarians once, the Marquis of Easton prepared for the next attack.

“I’m ready!”

Huge cauldrons lined up on the castle walls.

It was filled with bubbling oil.

The barbarians rose again, and were almost at the end when the Marquess of Easton gave the signal.

Sigh- Oil pours down like a waterfall and hits the barbarians.

A fragrant, yet fragrant smell of fried meat is smelt, and a terrible scream is heard.

“Kwaaaaaak!”

“It’s hot, it’s hot!”

“Uuuuuuu!”

The head of the barbarian on top melted, and the barbarians below were unable to withstand the heat and fell from the castle wall.

“Pick it up!”

“Pick it up!”

Afterwards, the soldiers shoot arrows at the strings. However, the shape of the arrow was somewhat unusual.

Instead of a sharp nib, there was a blunt piece of yellow paper tied to it.

The soldiers used the torches nearby to light the arrowheads.

“launch!”

“launch!”

Soldiers protest. Fiery arrows rain down on the barbarians.

Burning – the place where the oil spilled catches fire.

The fire spread quickly. Perhaps because of the oil, the front of the castle instantly became a sea of fire.

No matter how strong the barbarian is, it seems he cannot break through the fire.

The barbarians hesitate before the sea of fire.

The scorching heat rises up the castle walls.

It would take at least a day for the fire to go out. It would be easy to put out the fire with the help of the spirits, but there is no reason to do so.

That fire is our defense.

A hot wall that protects us from the barbarians.

The barbarians seemed to know that they could not enter unless the fire disappeared, so they stopped in front of the fire and stared blankly, unable to do anything.

I thought today’s battle would end like this.

“Everyone get ready!”

“They can’t cross the fire!”

“Is it over?...”

No, it’s not over yet.

Everyone thought it was over, but I didn’t feel like it was over at all.

I had a strange feeling beyond the barbarians.

Feeling dangerous.

Sadly, that prediction was not wrong.

Phuuuu – the sound of a horn. The barbarians get out of the way at the sound.

And then a barbarian came out.

“Ha...fuck.”

Cursing comes out of nowhere.

The mere sight of it gives me chills and makes me swear.

“It’s the chieftain!”

“Chief, Chief!”

The barbarian chieftain appeared.
