Chapter 298 – Chapter 29 – Soon
In a prisoner society, tribal chiefs are not simply chosen based on their strength.
Rather, there were many cases where those who did not stand out with military force during their warrior days became tribal chiefs, because tribal chiefs were not selected in order of strength, but in order of ability to command.
Although strength is the most highly valued thing in their society.
When the word “Strongest” Is added, it is considered the most honorable moment.
Many warriors show respect to the warriors who are called the strongest and give as much convenience as possible.
Looking at it this way, it seems that the one with the title of strongest is at the top.
It’s just that the name was attached like that, but you can’t ignore the other warriors.
Even the strongest cannot form a well-organized formation and defeat hundreds of oncoming warriors.
Even if you kill dozens, dozens will come again, and even if you kill and kill, if you don’t even give them a chance to rest, they will eventually allow attacks here and there.
That’s why the tribal chief is chosen not as the strongest warrior, but as a warrior with excellent leadership skills.
Beastmen know that a group of higher ranks is far more powerful than one of the best.
Those who have long been aware that group hunting is the most effective method of attack.
For that reason, most warriors had no doubt that they could win the battle against Klaus.
Chow ah!!-
Until the bodies of the warriors who preceded them were torn to pieces and scattered in the air in finely chopped pieces of meat.
“What, what kind of person…”
“Be surrounded! Encircle them so they can’t move carelessly! Don’t let them wield the spear first!”
Tribal chiefs give orders to the warriors as they shout.
Originally, I was planning to entrust that man to a few warriors and attack the rear of the demons with the rest.
However, when I bumped into it like this, I realized that it was arrogance among arrogance.
If they turned around in front of that man and went after the demons, I’m sure they would have sat down and pierced their backs after a while.
Exactly five, exactly five times, he swung his spear, and dozens of warriors had already fallen.
They are excellent warriors who have been selected for a surprise attack, but they were not even a bit vigilant.
The tribal chiefs gritted their teeth as they looked at the warriors who had fallen so absurdly.
‘Now that it’s like this, even that man will be defeated. The ambush has already passed. That man couldn’t have come here alone. I’m sure I’m wasting my time alone while waiting for the reinforcements of my allies!’
By the way, Klaus informed Ferdinand that there would be an ambush by the beastmen.
However, he firmly nailed it, saying that there was no need to mobilize his troops.
Even if it wasn’t for that, the soldiers would have struggled to block arrows and run with their shields all day long.
At Klaus’s words, Ferdinand asked Ashley if he should ask for help, but the answer that came back was, ‘I’ll take care of it, so think about the battle tomorrow.’
In other words, Klaus alone is the only power on the eastern side here.
The beastmen who didn’t know that fact tried to get out of their bodies somehow before the enemies attacked, but every time Klaus rampaged and made the warriors unable to escape from him.
The siege is clearly being carried out by warriors, but the initiative of the attack is held by oneself.
How funny the situation was, Klaus smiled and stabbed the spear once more.
Fuhuk!!-
The sound of several water balloons popping is heard, and a hole is made in the chest of the five beastmen warriors.
It was an extremely simple stabbing action, but the warriors who were equipped with a well-organized siege lost their pulse and suffered as it was.
“Don’t make the sacrifices of your comrades in vain! If the warrior in front of you is defeated, go further! Go ahead and block that man from doing anything!”
The way to catch a strong one is to crush it with an unmanageable number.
No matter who is strong, he has two hands, two feet, and only one body.
If you attack the front, the back is empty, and if you pay attention to the back, the front naturally becomes defenseless.
If you aimed well at that part, it was absolutely impossible to subdue any strong player.
– Activate the skill, ‘Indomitable’. –
– With a strong will, the limit of physical strength increases. –
– Activates the skill, ‘Berrage’. –
– Constantly thirst for blood and become more powerful. –
– Activates the skill ‘Induces Fear’. –
– Increases the fear of enemies several times. –
– Increases the chance of fleeing or becoming stiff from the battlefield. –
However, the problem is that the opponent is Klaus, not a beastman warrior.
And that man was the one who created this world and freely used skills that were not allowed to anyone else.
No matter how much they are surrounded and driven, they are not tired, and their hands are getting more and more brutal, on the contrary, the morale of the warriors is dropping and the command system is also in a mess.
I’m sure I’m fighting a human, but why do I feel like I’ve fallen in the middle of a typhoon?
The hearts of the beast warriors, who were full of pride and honor for being a warrior, are shaken in all directions.
The moment the sturdy castle shook, Klaus burst out with his magic power and threw the prisoners who were barely holding on to the abyss.
“Aaaaah!!”
“Kyaaak! Kyaaaaa!!”
Sounds, whether shouting or screaming, burst through the lips of the prisoners.
If you try to close the distance, the mana that flew in like a ghost will pierce your body.
Frightened by the magical power and backing away, his spear blade pierced his chest or drew a line of blood around his neck.
No matter how good they are warriors, even if they have learned how to hunt in packs, no matter how strong they are, through tremendous training.
After all, dogs are just dogs. You can’t beat a tiger, or even a great tiger.
“Oh, it can’t be. This will be annihilation! You lead the remaining warriors and return quickly. Hurry!”
“What are you doing?!”
“While the younger ones are dying, what will the old man do by running away alone! I will lead my warriors to kill time, so take the rest of your people and go back quickly!”
Among the tribal chiefs in charge of the surprise attack, the most authoritative tribal chief hurriedly stepped forward.
I was wrong, I really never imagined something like this would be possible.
I could never have imagined that beasts, especially skilled warriors, would literally be slaughtered by a single human.
It is a known fact that a man named Klaus is an excellent fighter.
Wasn’t Caella, a tiger beastman who was once called the strongest in the beastman society, left the beastman society and headed for the human kingdom, against his tremendous appearance?
Because of this, they did their best to build a siege and went hunting without being vigilant.
However, it was they who were being hunted, not that human.
After making it impossible to escape, they are having fun one by one and suffocating.
He freely displays the appearance of a literal brutal slayer with no mercy whatsoever.
To be honest, these beast warriors did nothing to harm them.
Rather, those who want to kill directly are the human nobles hiding behind them.
That’s why, if you have to argue, you can say that it’s killing without any benefit or reason.
“I said there are no innocent people in war.”
Kwajik!-
Klaus murmured as he stepped on the head of the tribal chief who was standing in his way.
All of the warriors who had rushed forward ran away to their own land, except for those who had the purpose of wasting time.
Still, during the retreat, they did not completely disperse and run away, but in an orderly fashion, they took the nearest distance and retreated in groups.
Didn’t they say that you can tell when you’re retreating, not when you’re fighting?
If they really succeeded in ambush from the rear, I’m sure the demon soldiers remaining in the empire would have suffered great damage, and Ashley, who was in charge of them, would have been injured as well.
Whoa, Klaus let out a breath and slowly looked around.
The whole area was stained red with the blood that flowed from the bodies of the beastmen warriors.
Puddles of blood were created everywhere, giving off a grotesque atmosphere, and the smell of blood and death that pierced the nose covered the whole area.
“I have no intention of holding you captive and interrogating you, or gathering information.”
“…”
“So resist as much as you can. Fight like a warrior and die. This is my mercy for you guys.”
He muttered that to the warriors who decided to stay behind for the sake of his own people.
It is not because they look down on them, but to protect the honor of the warriors.
The beastmen warriors also clearly realized that they had no chance of winning, but thought that they would die anyway even if they turned and ran away.
In that case, he thought it was right to fight and die, befitting his name as a warrior.
“I’ll ask you one thing, the human Klaus!”
“If it’s your last goodbye, I can give you a listen. What?”
“Do you really have no regrets?! You are the one who saved the West from falling into the hands of the demons in the previous war! But now, aren’t we taking the lead in attacking the West? About that…”
“Doesn’t exist. No regrets Do you know why?”
Climb over the corpses of the beastmen and slowly approach the survivors.
At the scene of the brutal slaughter, not a single drop of blood was spilled.
Klaus carries on with his cynicism.
“I’ve done this and I’ve done that. I really haven’t done anything. As a result, abandoning the West is the least regrettable thing.”
“What is that…”
“It’s a decision after trying everything, so don’t worry, don’t ask questions, just fight and die, gentlemen.”
* * * * * * * * * *
The surprise operation, which had begun with high expectations, turned into a complete failure.
The warriors who barely survived thanks to the sacrifices of their comrades were less than 20% of the warriors who advanced first.
It could literally be said to be a shabby paired number.
Surprise raids are not always successful, so it was natural to think that things could go wrong.
However, the failure was not a defeat due to sticking with the regular army in the east.
Considering that it was the price they had to pay for colliding with only one human, and not being able to withstand that human, it was even more devastating for the prisoners.
In the meantime, Ferdinand, who heard the news from Klaus, openly announced to the soldiers that the beastmen were after them and were slaughtered in reverse.
It was as if he wanted to make sure not only to listen to the demon soldiers, but also to listen to the spies from the fairy side who might be hiding around here.
‘This is… Why did the beastmen come out like that…’
As Klaus and Ferdinand had predicted, the information reached the fairies after some time.
For them, it is bound to be very disconcerting news.
The reason they endure like this is absolutely not to win the war.
It’s to somehow take the time and leave room for negotiations that are more advantageous to them.
In this way, it was as if the fairies had lost one of the pillars they could trust.
The relaxed atmosphere disappeared in an instant, leaving only impatience.
And the impatience continued to grow and grow in the dark, and finally it became a point to stick a dagger at themselves.
