Chapter 2081 – 2081. The Fallen Empire
At Cotton’s bold demand, the village chief was flustered, breaking out in a cold sweat.
“K-Knight. Our village is poor and shabby, not a place for noble people like you to stay.”
Cotton frowned deeply. Not hiding his discomfort, he growled,
“Don’t make me say it twice. We will spend tonight here. We are under orders from Count Morck to track down the ruthless bandits. Surely you don’t mean to refuse us? That would be an act of rebellion against the Count!”
“R-Rebellion? Absolutely not! We will do as the knights wish! I will guide you to my house! It is the best building in this village.”
“You should have done that from the start. You always make me say unnecessary things.”
We moved to the village chief’s house. Since the number of beds was limited compared to the number of people, we decided to use other residents’ houses for sleeping. That was a relief, at least. The dining table was quite large, so the knights could sit together.
“Gentlemen, you have worked hard today. Tomorrow, we must wake up early to track down those bastards, so eat heartily.”
“Hmm. Even if I want to eat heartily, there isn’t much to eat. Is this meat? It seems the potatoes are more delicious than the meat.”
I agreed with Elmeier. There wasn’t much to eat. The food the villagers brought wasn’t food to me. The dishes from Count Morck’s castle were at least edible, but these were unappetizing.
“These people don’t know how to treat us. I can’t eat this. You all eat my share. Hey! When are the women coming?!”
“I-I’ll bring them right away…”
The village chief, with a face ashen as death, went outside. I tapped the shoulder of my attendant and nodded.
“You follow him. See if he’s trying to sneak away with the women. If he does… kill him on the spot. Deceiving me is an insult to a knight. He deserves to die.”
“Understood, sir. That village chief won’t dare to play tricks.”
The knights chuckled.
“Indeed, Sir Daycart seems to prefer eating women to eating food!”
“Hehe. I knew Sir Daycart would be like this. Sir Daycart has the most refined taste among us, doesn’t he?”
“And his eye for women is also high. I wonder if there are any women in this village who can satisfy Sir Daycart.”
“I’m sorry, gentlemen, but I’ll choose the women first.”
I warned them in advance. The prettiest woman is naturally mine. If there are two beauties, I will take them both. Even if it means fighting these guys. Perhaps sensing my resolve, the knights nodded without saying anything.
“Isn’t Sir Daycart the star of today? Do as you wish, Sir Daycart.”
“We can always have women when we return, can’t we?”
“Gentlemen, you must be careful when you take women. There was an incident three years ago where an assassin pretended to be a prostitute…”
The knights laughed and continued their conversation. They filled their bellies with food and drank heavily. I didn’t touch the alcohol. The wine smelled like a stench, not a fragrance, and the beer wasn’t cold at all. Even without tasting it, I knew this beer would taste like piss.
“Sir Daycart isn’t drinking, I see.”
“Gentlemen, do you know soju?”
“Soju? Ah, I think I’ve heard of it. It’s a specialty liquor made in Veroprin, right? I heard it goes well with pork.”
It’s not something they make and sell, but something Park Suho brings and sells. Well, soju is a distilled liquor, so making it wouldn’t be difficult. Park Suho can travel between realities, after all.
“Actually, I have soju with me. I brought it in a water bottle. Would you like to try some?”
“It must have been hard to get soju at this time… You’re amazing.”
“Veroprin’s soju. I’ve only heard of it, but I’m curious what it tastes like.”
“Sir Daycart! Just one sip! Show us just one sip!”
“Haha. It’s not much, but everyone can have a taste. I left it with my armor, so wait a moment.”
I went upstairs, emptied the water bottle, and filled it with soju. I usually wouldn’t do such bothersome things… but I had to do it to maintain good relations with the knights. If our relationship went sour, more troublesome things could happen.
When I went downstairs, the knights were waiting with sparkling eyes. I poured soju into their glasses.
“Is this soju! The smell of alcohol is blatant! It is truly a knightly drink! Huh, the liquor is cold. Sir Daycart, what magic did you use?”
“Ah. It’s not magic, but a thermos. It keeps the temperature of the contents. It’s a water bottle sold in Veroprin.”
“They say Veroprin is amassing wealth with strange items! It seems that’s true!”
“Try it first.”
The knights brought their glasses to their lips.
“Kuhhhhh! This is good!”
“It has a different charm than wine! It’s cleaner!”
“It would go well with pork! I see why it sells so well!”
“Hmm. Isn’t the taste of alcohol too strong?”
“Sir. Are you saying you’re weak…? With just this much alcohol…?”
“Haha. What are you talking about? I meant it’s so strong that I like it! Soju is a knight’s drink!”
The knights hated being called weak. They didn’t just dislike it; they hated it pathologically.
I also drank soju. I didn’t particularly like soju, but it was better than flat beer or cheap wine.
When the water bottle was almost empty, the village chief brought the women. I frowned as soon as I saw them. There were no beauties. Their ages were all over the place. There were few teenagers, and there were even old hags over 50.
“Sir Daycart. You choose first. There are quite a few women, so you can choose two or three.”
“Hmm. Please try not to choose the younger ones.”
“They’re even lower quality than I thought. I guess it can’t be helped in this rural area…”
The knights watched my decision with sparkling eyes.
“I can’t tell in this state… Everyone, take off your clothes.”
“K-Knight! That’s…!”
“Hey! Chief! Are you ignoring Sir Daycart’s words? You all take off your clothes and show your naked bodies! Sir Daycart is trying to see if you’re assassins! If even a small blade comes out of your clothes… I will burn down your village!”
“Hmm. Sir Rakgus is right. We must be thorough in our checks.”
The women’s reactions varied. Some cried, others resigned themselves with dead eyes.
The women took off their clothes. The knights, who had been talking loudly, all shut their mouths and focused on the women. The sound of swallowing could be heard here and there.
I scanned the women with a sharp gaze and chose two. Since their faces were all similar, I focused on their figures and hygiene. One was voluptuous, and the other was slender.
“I’ll take these two.”
I immediately took off my pants.
“Gasp! Sir Daycart! Are you going to do it here?!”
“The bedroom is dirty. It’s better to do it here than to roll around there. A man taking a woman is natural. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
“Hmm. It reminds me of the old days. During the war, we used to take turns with one woman. I like that young one. Come here. If you satisfy me, I might take you as a concubine.”
“I’ll take that woman. I’ve never held a woman with uneven breasts, so I’m curious.”
The knights also took off their clothes and rushed towards the women.
A sex party broke out in an instant.
The house became heated, filled with the moans of the women and the sounds of skin hitting skin.
“Sir Daycart’s thing is amazing. The woman seems to be dying of pleasure every time she’s pierced.”
“Sir Daycart is the strongest even in bed. Hoho. There’s such a position… My eyes are opening today.”
I grinned and lectured them on sex.
“Hahaha. There’s also this position. I especially like this crushing position. Ah, it’s also good to touch the clitoris like this. Then the reaction gets even better.”
“Haaaaaah!”
Time passed. The knights, who had boldly taken the women, collapsed one by one and fell asleep in less than an hour. They pretended to be strong, but their stamina was poor.
Of course, I wasn’t satisfied, so I started taking the remaining women.
“Come here! You’re ugly, but… your pussies are quite usable, so serve me! Spread it! And accept it! Hehe!”
I was focused on fucking, buried in the women, when I felt another gaze. I pretended not to notice and focused on sex. I heard whispering voices.
“Why isn’t that guy falling asleep? Why isn’t the drug they gave us working on him!”
“Chief. The other knights and attendants are all asleep. It seems that guy is just a special case who isn’t affected by the drug. Let’s go in and kill him. He’s alone. And he’s naked without any weapons!”
“That guy is a knight! A knight! Do you think we can take him?!?”
“Damn it! Are you saying we should just watch that guy rape my wife?! Until dawn?!”
“……Damn it. One person quietly goes in and stabs him in the neck with a dagger. It has to be a kill in one go!”
It seemed the village was up to no good. The reason the knights had passed out was that they had put something like a sleeping pill in the food and alcohol.
‘It would be more certain to use poison… No, then only one person would die, and the others would likely notice the poison.’
Sleeping pills to ensure everyone was killed.
If I had eaten the food, I might have passed out like those knights and died once. I would have been the only knight to survive.
One of the villagers is sneaking up behind me. He thinks he’s being quiet, but… I can feel everything.
“Haaaaaaang! Aaaaaaaah!”
The woman who was being fucked while bent over on the table suddenly started screaming loudly. The intention was obvious. A sneer formed on my lips.
The guy behind me swings a dagger. I turn my upper body to the side to dodge easily and punch the guy in the head. The guy’s head exploded.
Even without using mana, even without wearing gauntlets, my strength is already superhuman. If I put strength into my fist, I can shatter an ordinary person’s head like a watermelon.
“You dare to rebel? You will pay the price.”
“A-Attack! There’s only one knight! He doesn’t have armor! We must kill him to survive! Kill him before the other knights wake up!!”
The village chief shouted as if in despair.
