Chapter 210 – Ep.210 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
Clutch, crunch.
A loud sound of metal coming from all directions.
Siron scratched his head and spoke to Kernax, who was running next to him.
“Why are you wearing so many things?”
“… “I can’t help it because I’m a knight.”
Cernax indeed had a lot to say, but he kept his words to himself, considering that Siron had waited for him to prepare.
-Flash!!
-Flash!!
Siron, who was climbing the castle tower with his soldiers, said as he saw a huge orb of light floating in the dark night sky.
“What. “There was also a wizard.”
“I think it would be weirder if it wasn’t there.”
Who on earth did they think was responsible for repairing the castle walls and managing the numerous magic tools in the fortress?
―Don’t shoot blindly, check your target properly and then shoot!!
The two men who arrived at the castle tower were able to find two sisters commanding the soldiers with drawn swords.
The soldiers, under the command of the sisters, fired arrows without mercy at the monsters that came within the range of the sphere floating in the sky.
“Wow… “There are so many.”
Siron wrinkled his face as he looked at the monsters swarming outside the sphere.
“But what should we do?”
“We have to deal with the guys climbing the castle wall.”
“That means there’s nothing to do right now.”
Cernax said as if to warn Siron, who was scratching his chin next to him.
“You probably heard it during the day, but you shouldn’t kill it carelessly.”
“…”
Siron furrowed her brow and turned her head.
“Hey. Think with common sense. “Even if I hit you, if you fall from this height, your head will break and roll over, or you’ll get trampled by the crowd of bastards, right?”
“That…”
When I thought about it, Siron was right.
“I don’t know why I do such a troublesome thing in the first place. There are so many people coming here, how can you tell them all apart? “It’s easier to just kill it and watch.”
‘She seems like a crazy lady.’
Shiron cursed Ar Del in her mind and shook her head.
“Tell the reserve team to bring oil.”
“You must bring something that is not boiled!!”
Even while the two were chatting without tension, the sisters were constantly giving orders to the soldiers.
“Go forward slowly.”
“But how do they climb up the wall when they don’t even have a ladder?”
“I know it when I see it.”
“If I just say it a little bit, what’s the point?” .”
Siron grumbled and filled the gap in the empty line with Kernax.
Whick!!
An arrow flying through the wind.
Siron looked out of the corner of his eye at the soldier next to him who was shooting arrows non-stop.
‘Well, are you sure you saw and shot properly?’
That said, the speed at which the arrow was fired was unusual.
‘Honestly, who knows if they just shoot.’
She turned her eyes again and saw the dry desert.
Slowly, the facial features of the running monster got closer to a distance where they could be distinguished with the naked eye.
Wow.
Her fists were tightly clenched.
The fist is lighter than usual.
Not my favorite gloves, but thin gloves made by my lover.
It was the same one he had previously given to Cernax and his soldiers.
‘Well, this won’t break your head.’
The gloves used previously have iron pieces embedded in them, so even a light hit can cause fatal injuries.
In contrast, this thin object made of the same material worn on the leg cannot cause fatal wounds that can be seen on the outside even if struck slightly hard.
“But they all looked like idiots and ate it.”
Perhaps because I had in my head the higher-level entities I had seen during the day, the sight of monster-like creatures rolling around and running around was so bizarre and hideous that I couldn’t even say it was good to say.
From kobolds with long fur and animal heads to Nagas with black scales all over their bodies and Scorpions with many disgusting legs.
There were many different types, and they all had different appearances from those living on the continent, and it was not uncommon to see monsters with an appearance that I had never seen before.
“Get ready quickly.”
A monster that approaches quickly.
With a soldier between them, Kernax and Siron took a stance.
Damn!!
In the midst of the crowd, like a flock of wolves, something small and black leapt toward the castle wall.
Haha!!
Siron’s eyes scanned the appearance of the rapidly approaching monster.
A small body with strangely thin and long legs.
‘An entity that can be killed.’
An unknown monster with the head of a rat rushed at me, opening its smelly maw.
Wow!!
With a dull sound, Siron’s hand penetrated the guy’s mouth.
Shiron roughly threw the piece of meat of the dead man down the castle wall in one go, and then she mercilessly threw her fist again.
A monster whose head and body explode with a single punch.
-Soldiers, get back!!
At the command of the sister, who did not know whether she was her brother or sister, all the soldiers who were shooting arrows fell back.
‘It will fall soon.’
It was already starting to get a bit annoying, so Shiron briefly clicked her tongue.
Kihyaaak-!!
“Go away!!”
Wow!!
With a single kick as he turned his body, the body of the vampire rat was cut into pieces and scattered in all directions.
“Shiron!”
“Oh sorry!!”
As Cernax, whose armor was covered in green blood, shouted, Siron half-heartedly apologized and continued to move.
“Hey!! But the fuck, is it okay for me not to take care of my hair?!”
“In a situation like this, I don’t think there’s any need to take care of your head!!”
“That’s true too!!”
As the soldiers who were keeping them in check retreated, the number of monsters charging at them doubled as time passed.
‘Fuck, this might be a bit burdensome.’
From the corner of my eye, I saw monsters already clinging to the castle wall and struggling to climb up.
– Pour oil!!
The soldiers, who had been thrown back by loud cries, brought in a huge oak barrel, broke its spout, and sprayed the contents on the castle wall.
The foul-smelling oil quickly encroached on the castle walls and expanded its territory downwards, and several individuals that had climbed the walls using their many legs and unique scales fell down with a scream.
However, in Shiron’s opinion, it seemed like that would not last long.
They were spraying sand or strange liquids flowing from their mouths or bodies toward the oil-coated castle walls.
‘It’s definitely different from the idiots all over the continent.’
Even the higher-level entities seen during the day spoke human language.
If there are individuals of similar level mixed among them, it won’t be long before even individuals who can’t jump will start climbing the castle walls.
“What the fuck!!”
Shiron swore.
Because his own predictions were correct.
Nagas with their entire bodies covered in scales were quickly climbing the castle wall, riding on each other’s backs.
“Hey!! “I think this number is too low!!”
“When did you say you were confident!!”
“Bitch!! “Soldiers are useless, useless, ga-!!”
‘What a crazy lady!!’
How can there be a commander who, facing a horde of monsters that can easily be tens of thousands in size just by looking at them, divides which ones must be killed and which must be saved?
Thanks to this, all the soldiers who should have been happily shooting arrows down below became surplus troops.
That’s all.
Things like igniting boiling oil or activating magic engraved on a castle wall.
There were so many things that were no longer usable.
“Shiron!!”
“Ha, fuck!!”
At Cernax’s cry, Siron crumpled his face, grabbed the corner of the castle wall, and threw himself down.
“Get out of here you fucking bitches!!”
“Keeek-!!”
Naga, who had reached the end by weaving their bodies together, was suddenly hit by a kick from Siron from below and was tilted.
They were guys I shouldn’t have killed, but I kicked them just enough so they didn’t die, so what happened after that was none of my business.
Haha!!
“Sigh!!”
The vampire rat that flew towards Siron, who was climbing up after kicking Naga, was cut into pieces by Kernax’s sword.
“Hey!!”
“Just come up quickly!!”
Siron, covered in her green bodily fluids, came up again, her face wrinkled.
“Maybe I… !! By the way, water-!! “What you see is,!!”
“What-!!”
“We don’t even have a shift!! Hang in there, ha!! “No, no, ji-!!”
“Sigh!!”
“Hey!!”
As Siron shouted, Kernax worked his sword even harder.
‘But it’s just as the poet said… ‘I can’t last long in this condition.’
Unlike other places where there are enough people to shift, the eastern castle here can only have five knights at most. And I had to stop it with only myself and Shiron.
Originally, he would have been able to take a break once in a while thanks to the support of the soldiers, but due to the sudden restrictions, even that disappeared.
‘Considering my lord, I cannot expect any additional support…’
At least, if Giena had been with me, I wouldn’t have had to worry about the guys coming up from below.
“Fuck you!! Hey!! “You guys come down and stab me too, you bitches!!”
Siron, who climbed up the castle wall again by kicking things that were trying to climb up, burst out swearing at his sister standing on the castle tower.
Originally, the person in charge should not participate in battle because he or she must view the overall situation from a place where he or she can observe the situation and give appropriate instructions at the right time.
However, because the situation was so urgent, the five knights, including Kernax, pretended not to hear Shiron’s swearing and expressed their agreement by silently stabbing him.
‘Honestly, one of you should come down…’
‘Damn, there must have been something in my eye at that time!!’
‘Then I should have pretended to drink bath water or something.’
The knights were also not sane.
“Who am I and why am I having such a hard time here, damn it!!”
One of the objects that was flying had its head exploded by Siron’s kick, and one of the sisters came down from the castle tower.
As soon as the sisters, who didn’t know if they were younger or older sisters, came down, they stretched out their hands and released cool magical energy.
Gakkagak-!!
The oil covering the wall instantly froze and sharp thorns began to grow on its surface.
“… Ha!!”
One of her sisters took a deep breath and stepped behind her.
“I-I think I can last an hour like this”
Kwaang-!!
The castle walls shook greatly.
Everyone’s eyes turned to where the roar came from.
The ice filled with the frost fairy’s magic shattered like sand.
Standing there were desert Nagas whose appearance was similar to the higher-level entities seen during the day.
A desert naga holding a strangely bent sword in both hands.
Although it had a human form, it was a little more like a monster, with black scales growing across its skin.
“I fell asleep after what felt like an hour…”
It wasn’t a fault.
It was just something that came out naturally because it was so absurd.
‘Fuck. ‘Don’t those bastards have any sense?’
Siron crumpled her face as she watched the desert naga shatter her ice with sheer strength.
In addition, they appear to be higher-ranking entities, and were shown climbing up the castle walls on their own, breaking the ice without the need to tie their bodies together.
“Hey!! “I can’t stop that?!”
“I know…”
Desert Nagas breaking through the ice.
Perhaps because they thought it would be a hindrance to them, the barrage of vampire rats that had been bouncing around ceaselessly stopped.
Thanks to this, I had some time to catch my breath, but the situation was much more urgent.
“Even if I don’t know one animal, I can’t stop it like that.”
At Siron’s words, Kernax and the knights turned to look at the sisters.
As she said, if it was one-on-one, she would try to block it somehow, but her skills seemed to be equal and the numbers were overwhelmingly disadvantageous.
Cheolgruguk-
Another sister who was on the rampart came down.
“While we block it, please tell the lord that this place has been breached.”
Shiron wrinkled her face at those words.
“No, shit. “Can’t we just have one person run over and ask for help?”
“Unless we give up, help will not come.”
“What you two said is correct. “The lord will not allow it.”
The soldiers and five knights who came here were some voluntarily, but because Ardella placed them here to distribute her personnel, she was able to help the two sisters.
The two sisters, Kernax, and the knights knew the lord Ardel’s character very well, so they thought that the judgment they had made was correct.
But her outsider, Siron, was different.
“No, shit. “If that’s the case, shouldn’t we change our conditions as well?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to ‘where’ Siron was.
“No, that’s right. Fuck. If they put some crazy restrictions on us, they should change the conditions they put on us to suit the situation. “You look like a crazy lady-“
“You are right.”
“H-?!”
Shiron jumped at the sound of a familiar woman’s voice coming from behind her, rolled in front of her, ran away to Cernax’s front, and then quickly turned around.
“Oh, no. That… That is…”
“Done.”
Ardel chuckled at Siron, who was clinging to Cernax’s leg and stuttering her words.
Everyone present except Siron was greatly surprised.
Ardel said, pointing to the floor where Siron rolled.
“Wipe it clean later.”
“…”
A sticky green fluid.
It was the bodily fluids of a vampire rat that got on her body as a result of Cernax’s petty revenge.
Siron just wrinkled her face and she didn’t respond.
Ardel paid no heed and walked her way to where Siron and Cernax were. She then passed them both and stood in front of the castle wall.
Kagak, kak-!!
Desert Naga reflected in Ardel’s indifferent eyes.
“You guys are the last.”
Ar Del raised her head and looked at the dark sky.
Whoa…
A long exhale.
It soon turned into a hazy mist and slowly rose toward the sky.
Everyone’s eyes followed Ardel’s breathing, and they looked up at the sky for the first time since climbing the castle tower.
A sphere of light floating in the sky.
Even higher than that.
A hazy fog that may look like clouds at first glance.
The moment when the last piece that left Ardel’s side filled the empty space on top of those that stretched along the castle wall.
Wow…
It became an angry wave and poured towards the ground.
Damn it!
The Nagas who were climbing the castle wall froze, clinging to the wall.
But that was just the beginning.
―Ki, kihiik?!
―Squeak!!
―Heheuuuuu!!
The cries of monsters rang out continuously in the hazy fog that covered the ground in a split second.
Ardel turned away from their cries and pointed her finger at Siron, who was still attached to Cernax’s leg.
Siron stood up from her seat and approached her, glaring at her Ardel even as her shoulders trembled.
“Child of Siran.”
“… Why.”
“What you said is correct. “The situation has changed, so the conditions I set for you should also adapt accordingly.”
Ardel’s hand moved towards Siron’s nape.
Wow.
“W-what?!”
Siron glared at Ardel with her startled eyes as her body suddenly floated up.
Ardel turned her body around again while holding the back of her Shiron’s neck.
The ground is covered in a hazy fog.
There, monsters were screaming to the point of fear.
Ardel said as he pushed Siron down the castle wall.
“One hundred.”
“Two, one hundred… ?”
Siron, who was struggling, blinked her eyes and looked at Ardel.
Ardel, who was looking into Siron’s red eyes, slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said.
“But he has a bad speaking habit, so make sure you move diligently until the gate opens.”
“Radish-“
Whi-profit-!!
Siron’s body flew through the air.
However, the wingless Siron soon fell towards the ground at an alarming speed.
“Hey crazy lady yaaaaa!!”
Disappeared into her mist.
Ardel smiled slightly as he looked at where Siron had fallen.
“Even her speaking habits are exactly like her mother.”
However, the corners of her mouth returned to a horizontal position as if they had never been like that.
Ardel turned her body.
She extended her index finger towards her own daughters and the rest of her knights with her indifferent eyes, and it pointed down to the base of her castle walls.
“This-“
“Haaap!!”
Before Ardel’s mouth could open, Cernax leapt down the castle walls like the crazy bitch she is.
She snorted softly and spoke to the rest of them who were standing there dumbfounded.
“Two hundred.”
-!!
The dazed women were startled.
And then.
“Aaaaah!!”
“Haaaaap!!”
Everyone screamed strangely and jumped down the castle wall at the same time.
