Chapter 376 – 37. One Maxim (6)
The virtue of the strong is mercy. It is an emotion that has the ability to calm down and overcome others, but also knows how to pity those who are weak and lacking. Furthermore, it is a magnanimity that does not sacrifice one’s life so that one can continue one’s miserable life.
“… Number.”
This was also the reason why the female warrior, standing tall like a giant tree, did not panic even after the quiet night in the wilderness of Grand Mande became noisy with those who had been hiding in secret. An untimely surprise attack was not much of a threat to a woman who lifted an ax as tall as a tree with one hand as lightly as a tree branch.
The white hair fluttering in the harsh wind was as brilliant as if it were a snowy field. The sight of her scolding the man who was stomping on her chest with his foot while holding her sharp blade was almost reminiscent of a mythical grim reaper.
What was most impressive was his solid, muscular body. It was a body that any warrior, regardless of gender, would envy. It was a body of steel that could only be perfected through silent effort combined with innate temperament.
Even the weight of a sack that can be barely lifted by several men is not something to be proud of for a heroine who can easily lift it with just her two fingers. In a way, she became so strong that she reached a level of loneliness that ordinary people could not understand.
“Kkeheuk, kekehehe…” … !”
“Soo, you guys.”
The reason she didn’t react in any way to the ambusher’s crazy laughter, which crushed her ankles and ribs, was because it was trivial. Even though she was a man who had accumulated a lot of money, her eyes were full of poisonous energy.
“Check it yourself… !”
Her indifferent expression didn’t seem all that different from the feeling of her newborn baby whining. Moreover, the only man who resisted after fighting back with desperate determination was Master Lee Geon-man, a member of a renowned swordsmanship guild. No matter how strong or numerous the people hired from behind were, they were indifferent.
“Okay.”
It was a pity for the swordsman, who even squeezed his eyes shut as he imagined the coming end, but the female warrior left, leaving him in a mush. Anyway, after answering the question, he immediately jumped onto the roof as if he had no intention of killing him.
Due to the nature of the desert climate, it is common sense to sleep in the morning and be active at night. The Seokhwa Troupe, which dominates the western wilderness of Danggeum, also begins its performances in the evening when the sun sets and concludes with the most outstanding singers and dancers toward midnight.
But somehow, a group of mercenaries who are not particularly bad at using swords or beginners break even the basics and infiltrate.
It was difficult to understand with a reasonable amount of common sense. Because of her vanguard, which had already caused a commotion here and there, the other members were busy shouting and responding, but she, with her ample composure, was able to face the situation without being deceived.
‘There are a lot.’
On the side of the ridge covered in darkness, torches and the like rose up one by one. I don’t know how they crossed the dry sand dunes without any sign, but hundreds of intruders entered the street on the outskirts of the city and were advancing.
In the north, veteran soldiers riding camels were directing the air raid. In the east, people practicing strange magic were causing trouble. To the south, a large group with swords was approaching, and to the west, archers disguised as shippers from a ship that had docked at unknown times took out their bows and began shooting.
It was an unexpected strategy.
A female warrior, aware of the situation in an urgent situation, put her ax on her shoulder. Finally, realizing where the scouting team’s unfounded confidence came from, they rushed forward. It seemed like they were trying to decide the game before other support arrived.
“Enemy attack, enemy attack!”
“Captain! “Mercenaries are coming from all directions!”
“The flowers that bloom in the wilderness may be pitiful, but they do not break. Each one goes to their own place!”
The outlaws with a strong desire to win were the first to confront the enemy with their own weapons. Thanks to this, the women who were ready to respond formed a formation centered on the Seokhwadan performance hall, which had become like the government office of Grand Mande since the bishop was overthrown.
“It’s too late, you stupid bitches!”
Haha! “This side will be opened soon, right?”
“I thought some cool-headed strangers had come to get away, but what is it!”
The existence of the external enemy unites the divided interior. Dominic Ravel, who ruled the West over the years relying solely on religious authority and force, would not have known this fact. However, Esmeralda, who trained the novice girls into captivating dancers, used them to carry out a plan of appeasement that was effective immediately.
It gave the criminals who live only for today a precious family and a home to return to. Match women who are not only good at mimicking obedience and expressing affection, but can also provide a thrilling sleep every night.
“Sister! “Where is the leader?”
“Didn’t you evacuate earlier?”
“You idiots, you said there was a place you had to visit yourself!”
“No chatting! “Unless we return here and give separate instructions, everyone will stick to their assigned positions!”
Thanks to this, the female warrior, who was flying from roof to roof, broke through her lines without any strain. While the women, who are as strong and strong as they are beautiful, join forces with the men of Bakto, who are tough but have clear skills and guts.
“This is the command center of the Montaigne Swordsmanship Guild!”
“Attention all mercenaries!”
“There is a large bounty on Esmeralda Zafiro! Regardless of whether she lives or dies! She will be rewarded with exactly ten Gallic gold coins to the man who brings that lowly Manusi girl! Defeat dirty whores and criminals and kill them all… !”
Kwasik!
“Now, the elder has suffered! And that too with an invisible strike!”
“Is it magic? “Is this a sniper?”
“It’s wind pressure! That bitch! The client told me to be especially careful!”
“The children with the torches spread out immediately and search for the enemy’s location first… !”
Deng Geng!
“Look over there, on the roof!”
“You there! Go east and tell the magic tricksters that it’s urgent! It’s too late, and if we don’t get support right away, we’ll all be left behind!”
“It’s meaningless unless you tie it up with magic and beat it up! For now, I’ll rush in and buy some time! Prepare the secret weapon that everyone has been hiding! At least in a few minutes… !”
Wow!
“Damn it, you idiot! “Who would leave before it even starts out of fear of premature ejaculation?”
“There’s no chance of winning head on! Gather around as much as possible to divert attention!”
“I can’t even see the attack, so how can I do it?”
The ax blade was stained with the blood of countless people. With his agile movements and strength, he constantly climbed up and down the roof, which was higher than the wall. Then, some of them, who were angry at the one-sided attack, shouted that they should fight fair and square, so they stormed in and cut off their heads, just as they had hoped.
It seemed like the goddess of war had descended.
What was even more surprising was what happened after that. This was after the frightened swordsmen huffed and brought their comrades who were fighting on the other side. A group of old leaders, old swordsmen, and even those who practice witchcraft.
When they came together, it was a combination that no power could ever let down its guard. There are swordsmen who are not inferior in either number or skill to the several old generals commanding the military camp, and a magician who can directly inflict restraint from a distance…
“Tie it with magic! In the meantime, hit the vital point!”
“Now, wait! “This woman’s strength!”
“Wow, wow… !”
The number of enemies was almost at its peak. Of course, it made no sense to confront them head on and defeat them. Nevertheless, the female warrior stepped out in front of the crowd, looking even more troubled than before, with an indifferent expression. I hit the floor with the ax I was holding.
“Wow… !”
“Holy crap!”
A small earthquake occurred in the area as far as I could see. Even though I didn’t apply any particular force, I created a terrible crater. He then stamped the heads of those who had fallen to obtain their surrender.
Kwasizik, Kwasizik, Kwasizik!
They were shocked when they saw the monster, so they handed them over to other petrification groups and outlaws and set out again. Even after repeating this several times, he didn’t show any signs of exhaustion and didn’t even take a deep breath. Even the last time, just as the invincible knight of Lumière, formerly Dior, appeared against the Sultan’s fleet.
“Oh, it’s the devil! The devil is coming here!”
“Raise anchor! Full speed ahead!”
“Fuck it, don’t look back even though it’s a request!”
He fought a naval battle alone and without ships. Of course, her size was shabby compared to Nasr’s grand fleet, but she was the very thing of fear, defying the laws of universal gravity and running across the water with strength and skill, even though she did not use magic.
“Ugh, help me! Please spare my life!”
“Helmsman, you idiot! “Why should I turn the bow quickly while I’m holding on to them?”
“I’ll tell you everything! “I’ll answer anything you ask!”
“Don’t come! Don’t come! Aaaaah, Mom!”
It has been exactly one hour since the mercenary alliance under the Montaigne Swordsmanship Guild, commissioned by the Southern Prince, charged into the wilderness.
“…”
In that short period of time, the enemy lost as many as seven sailing ships. About a hundred people died fiercely, with their heads cut or broken. It is impossible to estimate the number of people who were maimed, but it is approximately 200. If you include those who surrendered, the total is about 1,000.
A female warrior holding an ax left behind the achievements she had achieved alone and walked away. He shuddered as if his clothes were soaked with blood and seawater, but he still moved, perhaps because he had unfinished business. So I had a private meeting with the rose that appeared from deep in the opium den.
“… It’s over.”
“Yes, you had a hard time as always.”
She didn’t say anything, so how could she have expected to be here? This living hell of pleasure was the place where her young grandfather, Dominique Ravel, was imprisoned.
“It looks like the prince is very nervous. “Seeing how they even resorted to such dirty tricks.”
A beautiful woman holding two daggers in her hands came forward with a clicking sound. As she was considered the scout’s most important mission, she seemed to have been involved in quite a few battles before coming here, and she spoke to her subordinates with a blood-covered appearance.
“I guess he made his decision after hearing that the island’s messenger made contact with us. Certainly, as long as I have James Britannia’s support, there is absolutely no room for me to fall behind in the competition between nobles for this country. From the prince’s perspective, this moment would have been the best time as his control over the wilderness was not yet complete.”
“I see.”
“The Montaigne Swordsmanship Guild has long been a place where Charles Dior provided work when he wanted to take care of his dirty work. Although he is a seeker who walks the path of the sword, he is also known as a scoundrel who uses money for money. He is also famous for accepting anyone who can help him due to his reputation as a powerful person. Why is it the same with the guy who converted from the Vedas all those years ago?”
Esmeralda, laughing and joking, continued her words, peeling the hardened blood from her face.
“Among the guys who attacked me, there was a guy who knew quite a bit. When he looked at the scale, it wasn’t just an all-out war, it was almost like a war. Aside from that, it’s still ambiguous. Since you and I are here, you probably know that there is no point in this offensive anyway.”
Although the second son of a famous family may seem like a great man with a short temper, he is not like that even when dealing with politics. This is the reason why he, who is skilled in the underworld, suddenly attempted an invasion with mercenaries hired from outside.
“The key point was different. Marian de Gallia.”
Secretly infiltrating the mercenaries was merely opening the door. The real thing is Her Highness’s revenge that will take place after this. This is punishment to be inflicted in the name of the Heavenly God Church on Esmeralda Zafiro Aquitaine, a wandering woman who betrayed my trust and stabbed me in the back.
“Intelligence that 10,000 holy knights are coming to reclaim the West in the name of Our Princess. It just so happened that the wilderness ended up looking like a burnt-out self-governing territory. “Do you think you can stop it if you add a few soldiers?”
“Are you strong?”
“Most of them are at the same level as today, and one of them is said to be one of the strongest players on the continent soon. Why the duel trial of the Duchy of Le Blanc that I saw before. Like Lumière’s invincible knight.”
“That’s fine.”
The rose of the wilderness smiled deeply. Even I, who pride myself on being unrivaled when it comes to dancing and assassination, was not confident that I could win after seeing Baron Ardennes in that duel and that trial.
“Just 100 people are enough.”
She was not a female warrior. The beauty who boasted white hair as dazzling as the sea of stars floating in the night sky was truly a powerhouse.
“As expected, Sansar, my beautiful sea of stars.”
Not long after, the continent’s magistrates soon heard the news that the 10,000 knights who had raised the slogan of recovering the western wilderness had been defeated.
“I only trust you.”
“… Yes.”
Finally, in the great snowfield, it was the moment when the eldest daughter of the great Kamag tribal union appeared on the stage.
