Chapter 77 – The Painful Days of Myer and Baron Kimberly (3)
The painful days of Myer and Baron Kimberly (3)
Cordelia and the two knights continued to block the ogre’s attacks, and the soldiers attacked with javelins, gradually reducing the ogre’s physical strength.
However, when the remaining Cyclops attacked, Cordelia was forced to block it, and her hands and feet became dizzy, and the battle turned towards the monster again.
‘Ugh… It’s possible to stop one ogre alone… But two are too much… However, it’s difficult for Hans and Racht, who are still junior knights, to quickly subdue the ogre. There is some way…’
But since Cordelia had no special plan in mind, she decided to take her gamble.
“Mayer! I will take the ogres and cyclops I am facing and go into the forest! The battlefield will expand, so please mobilize all your forces and quickly catch the two ogres!!”
Mayer’s eyes widened at Cordelia’s gambling moves.
“Are you okay?”
“If things continue like this, it will be difficult for me to hold on! Let’s take a gamble before I run out of stamina!”
“Fine! But please don’t get hurt! I don’t want to be nagged later by His Highness the Prince for hurting his knight.”
‘Well, the prince won’t be sad that I got hurt, but… I don’t like being worried.’
“Hehe, I understand. Let’s do our best. Haaaaap!!”
Cordelia cheered and instantly launched a fierce attack on the Ogre and Cyclops.
Gradually, slowly
“Chooooo!!!”
Cordelia’s onslaught left significant scars on the faces of her unsuspecting bastards, and as Cordelia ran quickly into her forest, the ogres and cyclops chased her with her roar.
“Now is the time!! Sir Cordelia has succeeded in luring them!! We must help her knights kill the two remaining ogres as quickly as possible and save Sir Cordelia!!”
Upon hearing Mayer’s words that Cordelia had sacrificed herself to lure her two giant monsters, fighting spirit burned in the eyes of her soldiers. The weapons thrown at the ogres became increasingly sophisticated, and an increasing proportion of spears pierced the ogres’ hides and left scars.
“Kwaaaaa!!”
The ogres roared and swung their clubs wildly, but as the wounds on their bodies increased, their movements became sluggish, and finally one ogre broke his knee.
“Concentrate your attack on that guy!! He’s lowered his height by kneeling, so you’ll be able to attack him directly with your spear!”
The soldiers stabbed spears at the ogre’s body. The ogre seemed to have completely lost its strength, allowing all the soldiers’ spears that it would normally have bounced away, and finally surrendering its neck to the knight’s sword that was blocking its attack.
Meanwhile, the rangers who were dealing with the Basilisk were looking at hell.
“Keeeee!!”
“Avoid!!”
The Basilisks’ petrification attack could be quickly destroyed thanks to the magic tool, but even without that, they were giant, threatening monsters.
Every time the claws on the wings scratched, one or two rangers squirted blood, and when the tail swung, the rangers hit flew through the sky.
“Don’t stop checking with arrows!! Bind their legs with chains and block their movement!!”
At William’s direction, hundreds of arrows flew towards the basilisk. Their skilled arrows penetrated the basilisk’s hard scales and entered its body, causing a scream to come out of its mouth.
Next, about a dozen soldiers carrying chains jumped in to block the Basilisks’ legs, but their counterattack began.
“Saaaaa~!!”
The Basilisks’ eyes glowed red, and the petrification curse was activated, turning the bodies of the soldiers who were running with chains and the soldiers who were keeping them in check at the front into stone.
Their curse was easily broken by bringing a poisonous item to the bodies of the rangers, who had been hardened to stone by their gaze, but at the moment when the spearmen’s camp was briefly disturbed, a basilisk came in and swung its claws and tail indiscriminately for the sake of harm. .
“Kaaaaa!!”
Even though they were allowed to break through for a very brief moment, the lives of about 20 of the Rangers who were charging in with chains and the Rangers who were forming a formation were lost, and the Basilisks gained momentum and began to rampage even more wildly.
Ta-da-da-da-da!!
At that time, a figure picked up a chain that had fallen to the ground and jumped into the rampaging group of basilisks.
“Hwaaaaa!!”
Following William’s instructions, he began to weave the chains between the Basilisk’s legs, letting go of the chains he was holding little by little.
“McMorin!! You’re reckless alone!! Come back!!”
He did not listen to William’s orders to retreat and continued to throw chains between their legs and tie them to a huge wooden pillar at the entrance of the mountain range.
“Slap it!!”
At McMorin’s shout, the soldiers pulled the chains in the ranger formation, and the thin legs of the basilisks were tied to the chains, completely blocking their movement.
“McMorin!! If you really survive, you’ll fall behind me!! But you did well!!”
“Kyahaaaaa!!”
The basilisks with their legs tied moved around and howled as if they were going to break the chains.
Simplicity and honesty! Ujijik!!
A roar rang out from the giant tree to which the chains were tied, and the soldiers on the other side holding the chains were being dragged around and holding on with their bodies.
In the end, William now has McMorin blocking his movements. He decided to inflict as much damage as possible and drew his sword.
“Now is the time!! Former Ranger! Charge!!”
William came to the front and all the rangers rushed at the basilisks whose movements were blocked.
They counterattacked by swinging their tails, but the destructive power of the tails was reduced as the legs were blocked, and as if they could dodge that much, the rangers moved quickly, slashing at the skins of the basilisks and stabbing them with spears.
In an instant, the basilisks’ scales were cut off, their skin pierced, and their huge bodies began to fall to the ground.
“Keep cutting!! We need to kill quickly and help the defenders who are dealing with the ogre!”
Following William’s instructions, the rangers continued to cut down the bodies of the basilisks and finally cut off their heads, confident of victory.
“Keeeeek!!”
However, while the rangers were caught off guard, a basilisk with its head cut off rose up, screaming.
“What… What!!?”
Like a basilisk with the characteristics of a snake and a chicken, it moved its body despite only having a neck and no head, and rushed towards McMorin, screaming from its empty throat.
“Holy shit!! Are you going to kill me even if I die soon?”
McMorin tried to resist by raising his spear, but when the Basilisk’s huge body attacked McMorin, the spear was bent by its overwhelming weight, and his body flew through the sky into the forest.
“Cluck, cough, crunch… Damn… I’m going to fall down here…”
McMorin’s arms were turned backwards, and his legs were bent in such a bizarre way that he felt like he was going to die.
Thud! Coo!
And as the basilisk was coming closer and closer to him, as if it was going to kill him even as it was bleeding behind him, McMorin instinctively crawled forward.
However, his speed was too slow to crawl over his bent body.
Moreover, a huge shadow appeared in front of him, and despair appeared in McMorin’s eyes.
“Kwahiahhhhh!”
The identity of the shadow was a huge red troll. The giant troll had a matching ax in its hand, and its loud roar shook the forest.
“Wait for McMorin!!! We’ll save… Trolls… Trolls?”
William and his men, who rushed to help McMorin, froze at the roar of the troll, and the troll began to move.
Everyone closed their eyes, sensing McMorin’s death, but the scream they heard in their ears was not McMorin’s.
“Keeeeek!!!”
What the troll’s ax cut was not McMorin but a basilisk, and while holding McMorin’s body in its hand, the troll ignored William and the rangers and slaughtered the basilisks writhing on the plains in an instant.
“Yes… What are you…?”
When William ran up to the troll and pointed his weapon in a trembling voice, the troll lowered the MacMorin he was holding in front of him and opened his mouth.
“You mean you? Do you humans call the benefactor who saved your subordinate’s life you?”
“Uh… Huh? Human language?”
When unexpected human words came out of the troll’s mouth, all the rangers, including William, widened their eyes.
“My name is Ajin. I have come to help you under the command of the great Miri and her husband, Yuno.”
When the unexpected name of the prince came out of the mouth of the troll who identified himself as Ajin, William and the rangers’ mouths widened.
But ignoring their reactions, Ajin flew her body to where Mayer and Cordelia were fighting as soon as she heard the sound of weapons coming from afar.
