The earth was shaking.

hundreds? thousands? I think it’s over ten thousand.

There is no strategy. Like a horde of zombies, like a monster wave, they were running and trampling each other.

But one thing is certain.

That those who watched it from the top of the castle wall were overwhelmed.

The number of them filling the front made us shrink.

“What are you doing! enemy! Raise your bow!”

Then Marquis Easton shouted. He came to his senses faster than anyone else and commanded his soldiers.

“load!”

As Marquis Easton finishes speaking, a sharp voice is heard.

At that sound, Marquis Easton looked back.

It must have come up before I knew it, and Arjuna, along with the red falcons, was on top of the castle wall holding a bow.

At Arjuna’s signal, the red hawks drew their bows in unison and aimed at the savages.

Not to be outdone by that, the Marquis of Easton shouted at the soldiers and made them hang their arrows on the string.

Soldiers in front, red hawks in the back aim at the savages.

“Shoot!”

The first to protest were the red hawks.

The distance from the savages is over 500m.

Even though the arrow could not reach, Arjuna did not hesitate to let go of the string.

Arrows with dense auras flew, followed by arrows shot by red hawks.

Kwaaang – An arrow filled with green aura hit the savage running from the front and caused a big explosion.

The savages around were caught in the explosion.

After that, dozens of arrows aimed at the savages’ knees, heads, and hearts.

Barbarians hit by arrows fall.

Even if it wasn’t until 100, the arrows of the red hawks made their advance halt for a moment.

“wait. yet, yet.”

Unlike the red hawks, who reloaded their arrows and drew a string, Marquis Easton waited.

Without his signal, the soldiers were still standing still with their string drawn.

The string is not loose, and the tension of the bow they are pulling is so strong that even a strong adult man cannot pull it unless he has been trained.

The soldiers were pulling it without a slight movement.

Even if their arms would go numb, their shoulders would ache and their fingers pulling the strings would hurt, they didn’t show it.

He glared at the savages with sharp eyes and waited for the Marquis Easton’s signal to come at any time.

“Shoot! load! Shoot!”

On the contrary, the red hawks were busy.

Put the arrow on the string and shoot.

Five times already their arrows have pierced the barbarian’s forehead.

Dozens of savages were killed. At this point, they should feel a sense of crisis… .

‘Is this how a lot of numbers work?’

ten thousand people It was a large army exceeding ten thousand, but there was no way to stop the advance just because dozens of people died.

Rather, they were trampling on the corpse of a comrade they had just run with.

getting closer

No matter how fast the red hawks fired their arrows, even Arjuna’s arrows with concentrated aura could not stop their advance.

It was all about slowing down.

When they got closer, Marquis Easton, who was watching the advance of the barbarians, shouted.

“now!”

soldiers shoot arrows But the direction was strange.

He aimed not at the savages, but in front of them.

Arrows are driven into the ground sequentially.

I heard the sound of something breaking.

An invisible line buried in the soil bounced out, and a huge pit was created in front of the castle.

It was a depth that could not be created by human power.

The savages who were running madly fell into the pit created by the power of the spirits.

Dozens of savages were buried in a bottomless pit so deep that the savages behind them hurriedly stopped.

However, he couldn’t beat their speed and bumped into the person behind him who was running after him because he couldn’t see the pit and eventually fell again.

“There are many, many.”

It seems that more than hundreds of people have fallen down there, but there are many savages left that are colorless.

If more than 100 people disappeared when there were 1,000 people, it would have been obvious.

But ten thousand was meaningless in front of the number.

As long as they don’t disappear in a thousand units, there is no reason for them to shrink.

Although embarrassed, they did not back down.

“Move!”

“What are you doing! I mean step on the corpse!”

“They sacrificed themselves for us!”

warrior chief? No, judging from the shape and amount of tattoos, it seems like a great warrior.

They shout at the savages who hesitate in front of the pit.

“Throw those who can’t fight and make way!”

“Are you going to go against the chieftain’s heart!”

“in action!”

The great warriors urge the savages.

Is the word ‘patriarch’ so scary?

They reacted excessively to the word chief, so that they could be seen even from the top of the castle wall.

A gap opens between them, and the savages begin grabbing someone and throwing them into the pit.

Those caught in their hands are none other than the elderly and weak.

Elderly people who cannot fight, and wounded people who are injured during battle and cannot use weapons properly.

The savages were making a way by throwing them into a pit.

At that action, the soldiers who were watching from the top of the castle wall stuck out their tongues.

“Shoot! We must not let them build the road!”

The Marquis Easton took command of the men, frowning at their actions.

And even that action didn’t last long.

The arrows of the soldiers and the red hawks hit and knocked down the savages who were dragging the old and weak.

Then the savages threw even those who had fallen into the pit.

He didn’t even seem to want to heal his wounds.

They did it without hesitation because they were so numerous.

“You are crazy. They’re really crazy.”

Looking at them, I thought it was good to hold hands with the warrior.

If the Great Master hadn’t told them what they were thinking, they would have been greatly disturbed by such actions.

At least, he was able to come up with a countermeasure against them because he got information from the Daejeonsa.

‘Even so, it’s surprising that he reached it so quickly.’

According to the Daejeonsa, the savages will arrive tomorrow.

It was as if a variable had arisen between them.

The reason why there was no choice but to increase the speed of the march.

‘Could I have been caught?’

Without revealing the relationship between the great warlord and this side, the behavior did not make sense.

Among the countless savages, I couldn’t see a familiar face, so I was a little anxious.

However, it is not something that can be solved just by being anxious now, and nothing has been decided yet.

“Sir Raymond.”

As I quietly watch the savages, the Marquis of Easton calls me.

“I think I need to prepare.”

Ready, I know what you mean.

As a raiding party, you have to stir it up once.

Well, in that state right now, it wouldn’t be strange if they came over anytime.

Before that, you need to tear them apart and instill a sense of vigilance.

As a bonus, it also raises the morale of allies.

“All right.”

“Sir Bane has something else to do, so he won’t be able to go with you. It could be dangerous. Can you please?”

“To be honest, I can’t say that I have one, but… I will try.”

can’t say no

I know for sure that it will be dangerous if I get pushed here, but how can I not do it?

He says thank you for my words. To him I was an outsider.

Although it came as a supply unit, if it went according to schedule, I had to go back when this supply came.

You might ask if that could happen during the war, but it happened every once in a while in Easton.

Who would want to come to the periphery and participate in a war of death and death?

Unless it was a knight like Vane, there were very few such people.

That’s why I feel more grateful, and even when I go back, I stay until the end in a situation where I can’t say anything.

Moreover, among them, he even concluded an agreement with the elves and performed various other activities.

It wasn’t easy to ask someone like that to jump on a limb.

“Then I’ll go down and get ready.”

Marquis Easton nodded.

I couldn’t fully know his heart, but I know what I have to do.

And it doesn’t have to involve personal feelings.

“Are you here?”

When I went downstairs, Lanos was waiting for me holding that huge sword.

Instead of his usual light clothes, his whole body was covered with iron armor.

Behind him, too, there were knights fully armed with armor.

The shock troops designated separately by the Marquis of Easton.

However, it was different from the normal assault force.

An assault force is similar to a cavalry on horseback.

Dig into the center of the enemy and stir them around. To do so, you need a mount with excellent mobility like a horse.

But now we had nothing to ride.

‘What are you riding a horse for? My legs are faster than that.’

All the people gathered here are Auro users.

Among them, the middle class experts who are especially strong.

When they operate their aura, they can run faster than horses.

Rather, it shows more mobility than riding a horse.

Riding a horse might get in the way.

That’s why it’s an assault force.

Unlike the cavalry who rode through the enemy on horseback, crushing the enemy with pure flesh.

‘I can’t be at a loss for words.’

It wasn’t without cavalry.

that you don’t write With pits and traps here and there, riding a horse was a loss.

“Are you ready?”

“Because I was waiting for this situation. is not it?”

The knights did not respond to the words of Lanos, who spoke while pounding their chests, but agreed with them.

All of them had a vengeance on the savages.

They had animosity towards savages to the point of even death.

“What are you doing? Everyone is waiting for you.”

Lanos pushes my shoulder.

Whatever Marquis Easton was thinking, he left the knights with more experience than me alone and let me serve as their vice-captain.

What was curious was that none of the knights in the stormtroopers opposed the decision.

To be honest, I don’t like taking such heavy responsibility… what can i do

A superior tells me to do it, but I have no choice but to install it.

And to be honest, wielding it by myself is more suitable for me than being swung around by others.

“By the way, can you really not wear armor?”

“Your body only gets heavier. Never mind me.”

Regarding Lanos’ concerns, I said it indifferently.

Unlike them, who covered their entire body with iron, I wore a light outfit that covered only the main parts.

Even that, he was dressed with an emphasis on mobility, with leather armor and iron plates attached.

I know you’re worried about me because you have to fight close to the enemy, but I was really fine.

Rather, it was more cumbersome to increase the weight.

-Human, I protect you!

And I didn’t even have to wear armor. Liems spread a protective shield over me so that others wouldn’t notice.

It won’t stop you from overdoing it, but at least you won’t be hit by blind arrows.

That’s enough.

He approached the castle gate at the head of the knights.

“Open the gates!”

The castle gate opened with a heavy noise along with the words of the Marquis of Easton.

“uh? The door is open!”

“let’s go! ahead!”

I saw the savages approaching with their eyes twinkling.

The pit in front of them was almost filled in no time.

I pulled out the cotton and ran towards them.

“charge!”

The knights chased after me.
