Chapter 67 – 14. Crisis and Cooperation. (7)
The ground gradually turned black. From three sides except for the riverside, a huge number of ghoul armies slowly approached Behimruod, a large city. All those who witnessed the scene from the top of the wall were overwhelmed by the enormous force.
It was the first time that Allen had witnessed such a large number in one place, so it was difficult to guess just how many people there were. Thousands were certainly enough, and I didn’t know if it would really be just one.
…… Siipal…… !
It was a fight on a different level from the Yeongji War experienced in the eastern region before. …… The thought that this was a real war flew like an arrow and stuck in my brain.
Whoop whoop whoop.
Not only Allen, but all the members of the crew were already gasping for breath after seeing the dizzying scene.
The ghoul, which had been approaching slowly, began to speed up slowly at some point, and from the moment I could clearly tell it, it started to run like crazy.
– Kyaaaaa.
Ghouls screamed in all directions. When the weak guard saw it, his legs gave out, and there were even people who fainted or fainted.
Doo doo doo, with a sound, the ghouls started clinging to the wall. Literally, they were throwing themselves into the stairs. At the same time, dozens of balls soared into the sky and flew toward the castle.
Ah!
It was a mass of ghouls thrown by a corpse giant. As they descended, they were torn into many pieces and fell like hailstones. Immediately there were screams and groans.
From then on, the Allen-Mercenary Corps also began to fight in earnest. They killed the ghouls falling to the wall and kept the guards’ backs as much as possible, while the guards stuck close to the end of the wall and fired arrows to stop the ghouls climbing up as much as possible.
“Boolean, light it!”
Arlen decided to pour the boiling oil on the ghouls coming up the ramparts from the outside so fast. He tried to use it in a real emergency situation, but it seemed like he had to kill the momentum once.
At his command, the guards took a cauldron of boiling oil and poured it over the ghoul’s head. The ghoul’s body melted away with the sound of meat getting cooked. At the same time, the guards fired flaming arrows at the oiled ghouls.
The fire that spread rapidly overtook the ghouls in an instant. For a short time, the walls were blocked, but the ghoul masses were constantly flying into the castle.
“What the fuck—!”
The city is already in chaos. The group of ghouls that fell into the castle began climbing the stairs to the top of the castle wall. The Rudra-Mercenary Corps located in the place where the stairs were located occupied the front of the stairs and defended them by erecting a shield to prevent them from coming up.
Suddenly, there was a huge hand gripping the stone wall on top of the castle wall. It was a corpse monster with deformedly thick and long arms. Acting as a hook of sorts.
“Get rid of that! Ghouls are coming! Get rid of that quickly!”
The crew members and guards quickly rushed there and cut off the fingers holding the stone wall one by one with swords or blunt instruments. Fortunately, they removed their hands before the mass of ghouls came up.
However, where they couldn’t cut it off quickly, ghouls began pouring down in large numbers. Allen ordered his guards to hold the position, and rushed there with his men.
“Push on! Push it away with charging!”
Bald black-eyed Billy, old dog Kalisman, trainee Victor, and tattooed Arnold stood side by side in a row, raised their shields, and charged. Due to the powerful charging, the ghouls collided with the dudududu shields, knocking them down or being pushed down the wall. The collapsed ghoul was immediately dealt with by the second row following closely behind the first row, slamming its head with a weapon. The blind saintess in the 3rd row defended her sobriety and red-headed master, slashing any ghouls that might escape with her hands and feet.
Arriving at the point where the corpse monster’s hands were hanging, the Allen-Mercenaries quickly cleaned up the surroundings and tore off the hands. Fortunately, there were no more ghouls coming up, probably because the nearby mercenaries quickly joined in and took care of it.
Lower jaw lower jaw.
The city was an abyss. But Allen couldn’t afford to care all the way down. We have to leave them to the vigilantes and guards.
Returning to his original position, Allen confirmed that five or six guards had been killed or injured. The empty seats on the stone wall gradually increased. Allen approached one of them and checked the situation under the ramparts. The ghoul stairs, which had once sunk by pouring boiling oil, have risen by more than half.
“Elena-! Shoot the magic underneath!”
Hearing Allen’s command, the magician slammed his elemental magic toward the Ghoul Mountains piled up under the castle wall. It was a magic with good firepower, so the effect was great. However, Allen limited the number of uses of magic so as not to overdo it. If you consume too much mana, you may not be able to use it when you really need it.
The battle lasted quite a long time like that. Many of the members were really tired and wielded their weapons with a can. Then there were times when he allowed the ghouls to attack. It is because of the lack of physical strength and poor concentration.
Allen stepped back for a while and made him drink a potion mixed with water to replenish his physical strength for a while.
Viktor swung his ax until the hilt broke, and from then on he began to slash the ghoul’s head with his shield. The sword also had teeth and the tip of the spear became blunt. At least the iron club was in good shape, but it was also dented and bent from being hit so hard.
Only the blind saintess, who uses her limbs, swung her arms and legs as swiftly as the first time, easily defeating the ghoul, regardless of her weapon.
…… And, just then.
Something heavy flew up and landed on the top of the castle wall. Its height seemed to be about 2 meters 50 centimeters, and it boasted a huge size suitable for its height. Heavily armed with armor from head to toeheheld a huge greatsword in his right hand.
As soon as Allen saw him, he identified him.
Death Knight!
A battle-crazed monster that Lich sacrificed himself to summon from Hell. The feeling of intimidation was so great that it could not be put into words. Just looking at it makes my body feel stiff.
[Strength: 64] [Agility: 44] [Stamina: 69] [Intelligence: 5] [Magic power: 51]
The sum of strength, agility, and stamina is 177. It’s almost safe to say it’s an A-class stat. There are probably only a handful of people who can face a death knight in Behimruod.
He swung his greatsword vigorously. A nearby mercenary was sliced whole along with his weapon and shield.
The mercenaries who witnessed the scene were horrified and withdrew. Just looking at it, I felt that it was an impossible existence.
Rudra Danju also confirmed its existence and looked at Allen. If she fell, her stairway would be empty, so she had to have someone come and block it.
“Allen Danju—!”
Allen also understood the situation and immediately took the mercenaries and touched the baton with the Rudra-Mercenaries. Meanwhile, three more mercenaries had already been defeated by the death knight.
The sucker mage intermittently fired magic at the place where the ghouls were crowded. … However, the vacant seat was quickly filled again.
After a while, Rudra Danju arrived in front of the Death Knight with his crew. But when she saw that one of her own precious crew had been shattered in just one blow, her fears shuddered in her moment.
This guy is a real monster… !
The captain must have recognized it at a glance, so he ran up to him and crossed swords, but was completely overwhelmed by force. He was one, no two, stronger than the lesser commander. Even when he wielded that huge sword, he was faster than the captain.
In the end, the captain was thrown out in six points, but the wizard of the Rudra-Mercenary Corps just finished the magic and threw it at him.
It’s not elemental, but a fairly powerful mana bullet hit his body accurately. …… However, the death knight with overwhelming magic power could not inflict even a scratch with clumsy magic.
It was only then that Rudra Danju was convinced that he could not catch him with his own power. At least, his father’s mercenary corps will come as an opponent. However, there was no way the mercenaries who had to protect the marquis would leave him alone and come all the way here.
In the moment of hesitation, the death knight jumped forward in an instant and ordered a mercenary to leave the world again, this time aiming for Rudra Danju. He seems to have figured out that she is a head.
Oh
The captain moved right away, but the greatsword was already falling with the momentum of splitting Danju’s head. There was no way that [Agility: 8] Praised Herbal could avoid that blow that even a high-level mercenary could not avoid.
“I can’t!”
The moment the captain let out a piercing scream, something struck his sword and twisted his trajectory.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
The great sword just barely passed Rudra Danju and took her to the floor. At the same time, some powerful force grabbed her and threw her back.
…… Ah…….
“Uh, wow-.”
Her bald black eyes picked her up unscathed as she floundered in the air.
The one standing in front of the death knight is the blind saint. She was glaring at him ferociously with her blindfold removed and her cosmic-deep eyes.
At that moment, the greatsword on the floor pierced the air and moved. The blind saintess bent her upper body very flexibly into an almost L-shape and dodged her sword, then she delivered a powerful blow to her torso.
Kwaaaaang-.
Then, dragging her feet, the death knight was pushed back. Well…. The blind saintess also slightly frowned at the tingling sensation transmitted to her arm and brushed her hand once.
…… It’s tougher than expected.
The red eyes flashed in the dark space visible through her helmet, and her death knight flew right up to the blind saint’s nose in an instant.
Bang bang bang bang.
Her sword slammed into her floor, as if to crush her rather than cut her. She hissed away flexibly like a mollusk, then took a moment to kick him in the stomach with the sole of her foot. The moment he was hit by the attack, he swung the sword horizontally as if he had been aiming for it, but this time, she flexibly dodged it.
No matter how wild he was, he would yawn compared to Master.
The blind saintess kept swinging her fist, avoiding all of her opponent’s swords with her nimble movements. However, as much as her toughness was great, the burden was coming to her arms.
Then he suddenly raised his left hand and clenched his fist. Then her ghouls started running madly at her, exactly at her.
Allen tried to keep her ghoul from approaching the blind saint somehow. It would be difficult for her to deal with even a single death knight, but if a ghoul joins in, a variable might arise.
Still, Odd Noon did well to counter the occasional ghoul, and fiercely drove the death knight.
We need to get rid of this guy. Must… !
Quite a few ghouls were connected to the monster in front of them. If you catch this guy, people will be able to breathe quite a bit.
It seemed that it would not be an easy victory if he fought while conserving his strength. Moreover, he won’t get tired like a human, so if her time continues like this, she will be at a disadvantage.
Whoops, whoops.
The blind saintess took a deep breath and clenched her fists again.
… Go to power
And with explosive speed, she punched the guy’s upper body with a fist—-.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
The blind saintess gritted her teeth at her weak recoil. As hard as she hit her bastard, she was accumulating her continued damage to her as well.
Her death knight tumbled backwards this time and slammed into a stone wall. But she jumped up again and pounced on her, nervously slashing away even her ghouls that stood in her way.
– Odd eyes.
– Yes, Master.
– Do you remember the saying that fists are an aggregation of power?
– Yes.
– Then just keep this in mind.
– What?
– If you can only find the center and hit it, there is nothing in the world that cannot be broken.
At that moment when his black mana ran wild, Odd-Nun’s eyes accurately found the center.
The blind saintess ran up to her death knight who was running towards her and dodged her greatsword, which swung sideways, from the tip of her nose. Stretched out
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!!!!
A tremendous shock hit the death knight’s body. The black mana that had been swirling from the guy’s body spread out like a lie due to the shock wave from her fist. And suddenly, thick armor that cracks and shatters.
“Dui-i-i-i, Zi-i-i-!!!”
The blind saint gave her last breath and threw all her strength until she stretched out her arms in front of her.
With a click, her arm penetrated the death knight’s torso. At the same time, his body thumped backwards.
The blind saintess gasped for breath at her harsh learning and looked down at her fallen monster gradually turning to dust.
Her last attack shattered her right arm, but she managed to knock him down. And at the same time as he fell, a considerable number of ghouls fell out.
Master…… !
…… The blind saintess, who was thrilled, imagined that if this was enough, she would be able to hit her master’s face as hard as possible.
