Chapter 219 – 9. Hormia’s Dictator, Countess’s Insidious Task
Flutter- Flutter-
Kwok- I firmly gripped the handle of the sword at my waist and looked at the flag fluttering with an unusual air current. The gloomy sky that looked like it was going to rain and the mountain ranges that looked quieter today, the knights were also on standby after being heavily armed with armor.
“… “
“You are nervous… “
Leaving Sonia, who was staring at me with her helmet hood down, and the pair of knights alone, Henna next to me looked up at the sky without saying a word. Perhaps unable to endure the uncomfortable silence, Henna started talking in an exaggerated voice.
“Still, it would be nice if we caught a wyvern today. If that happens, um, I’d like to see the circus in Hormia with Cassano-sama.”
I spoke with my index finger pressed against Henna’s lips as she talked softly in a soft tone.
“Anything can be done as long as it’s over. You don’t have to mess with your head by putting it in your heart right now.”
“Yes. Thanks for the advice.”
Hearing Henna’s voice, which was strangely intimidated, I finally glanced around and confirmed that only Sonia was staring at me.
“Huh?!”
“Ha ha, just kidding. I can do anything when I relax.”
“Really… ! You’re surprised-“
Hena scolded me with a blunt voice like a woman her age. I smiled at her cute figure, reached out her hand, touched her moist lips with my thumb, and spoke quietly.
“I’ll do anything, so don’t relax and focus. Did you know?”
“Yes!”
Flutter – Flutter Flutter – Flutter Flutter Flutter!!!
Torn flags began fluttering like mad. The deafening noise and the wind rushing through the fort indicated that something was approaching. Clap—Henna, who was standing beside her, pressed down on her helm from her side and braced herself for an emergency.
[Keeeee!!!]
Roaring-!!! Red flames pounded the walls of the castle. Fortunately, there were only a few soldiers perched on the wall, so everyone escaped the flames, but some soldiers who were directly hit by the flames rolled on the floor or overturned oak barrels to put out the fire.
I love you-! As if an airplane was in an air attack, the Wyvern flew high into the sky as if he was not satisfied with his breath. Seeing that, Mild, who was standing next to the soldier ringing the bell, shouted.
“Knights, in pairs of three, attack the wyvern when it comes down to the fortress! Soldiers, avoid the breath as much as possible and shoot arrows, but just keep in check!!!”
“”””Yes!!!””””
With Mild’s command, Sonia and Hena, me and I pulled out our swords and lowered ourselves to prepare for the Wyvern’s attack. The soldiers who formed a line behind Mild and grabbed the string also held their breath, but no one uttered a single sound.
Swoop-
The sound of wings cutting through the air and the tingling of the skin pounded my whole body. Kuwook- I grabbed the handle, closed my gaping mouth, and waited for the wyvern.
“Come down!!!”
Along with the soldier’s cry, the wyvern was descending with its jaw wide open, cutting through the sky. Seeing the wyvern dripping sticky saliva as it flew towards the soldiers running around the castle wall, Mild brandished his sword and gave an order.
“First line firing!!!”
Piing- Piing- Piing- The arrows flying all at once drew an arc and poured toward the Wyvern. Arrows that flew through the sky like raindrops hit the scales deeply and fell, but some of the arrows dug into the soft flesh and got stuck.
[Keeeee)
The soldiers were delighted with the arrows that pierced their gums, and the arrows were hung on the strings and the second row fired the loaded arrows at once.
“Before he lets out another breath!!!”
[Khehehehehehehehe-!!!]
Quaang!
“Keah!!!”
“Damage, dear, dear!!!”
Mild, who had ordered an arrow to shoot at the excited wyvern, landed on the castle wall and flung himself away from the wyvern, who swung his long neck like a whip. Soldiers who were crushed by the massive wyverns and those who were beaten by the wings or tails that they wielded appeared one after another, but the soldiers who kept their ranks did not run away.
“Launch the second row!!!”
Wedge-! Wedge-Foouk!!!
[Kkeeeee!!!]
Chiiing – When the arrow that pierced the air and got stuck in the eyelid, the Wyvern howled loudly and went mad. My ears were about to tear, but I managed to hold on and looked at Sonia and Hena to rush at the wyvern that stumbled and fell from the castle wall.
“Bens and Phillips follow me with restraints!!! Take the legs one by one, and the soldiers cover with arrows, but only aim for the skin!!!”
The knight holding the heavy restraint orb nodded and followed Mild as he ran out. Kiik – Soldiers watching the battle of knights with arrows on the string and knights jumping in, I couldn’t escape, so I couldn’t escape -! Kicking off the soil, he jumped at the left leg of the wyvern, who staggered his body.
Fu-wook! Fu-wook! Fu-wook!
[Kkeueek!!! Aaaaa!!!]
The creepy sound of scraping iron tore his ears, but he did not pull out the sword that had been dug into his toe. Fu-wook- After cutting out the flesh, I infuse mana into the sword and evil! He cut off the Wyvern’s heel, but the cut was shallow and did not give a fatal wound.
Booung!
“Avoid!”
“Keuk!”
As I was about to withdraw my sword and severely cut my scaly leg, a sharp voice called to me. Turning right away, I barely avoided the bright red scaled tail approaching me like a whip. Grasp! I shoved off the dirt and watched the soldiers in the first row scratching their tails. I nodded to Sonia, who informed me, and put my sword into the thick legs of the wyverns.
“Good night!!! The wyvern is getting weaker, so I’ll fill the restraints!”
“Shouldn’t I fire more breaths?”
Mild, who was cutting scales following the spinning wyvern, encouraged the knights, but I couldn’t stand Mild’s order and refuted Mild’s order because it seemed that he was trying to catch it too hastily. Kkeuu-Mustache-covered lower official frowned and pondered, Mild finally nodded his head and said.
“That’s also true, then I need a means to relieve my strength at all… “
“I’d rather draw the Wyvern’s attention with an arrow.”
When I found the bow tightly gripped by the soldier who had been beaten to death by the tail, I spread my fingers and raised the bow as I spoke to Mild. At my suggestion, Mild finally accepted after looking at the knights who kept the ranks and slashed the guarding soldiers and rampaging wyverns from all sides.
“Then Cassano, climb the wall and draw the Wyvern’s attention.”
“I’ll just keep my eyes open. Even though I was hit by the eyelids earlier, I rushed to the castle wall, so I’ll go crazy with just one eye.”
“Yes, then I will have to pass on the soldiers. Please!”
“Bence! Philip! While Cassano draws attention, we fill the restraints! Soldiers get out of line and evacuate to the bell tower!!! Lure the wyverns!”
“””Yes!!!”””
The soldiers who kept their heat evacuated to the bell tower along with the screaming reply. The wyvern, who was chasing the knights who were harassing him round and round on the northern wall, found the humans crowding around and started walking with heavy legs, but my arrow was faster.
Intercepting device-
Pajik- When I pulled it beyond the limit, I heard a weak cracking sound. Kuwook- I breathed mana into the feathers of the arrows I grabbed and stretched them out in a straight line. I pushed all the mana that moves according to my thoughts into the arrowhead, and I’m peeing! Put up a protest
Whee ae ae ae-!
Crispy! Throwing away the shattered bow, I drew the sword from my waist again and looked at the flying arrow. The arrow that flew through the air at a crazy speed was as I wished! It was lodged in an eyeball the size of a head, and soon deafening screams covered the fort.
[Khehehehehehehe!!!]
Quaang! Quaang! The glowing wyvern hit the wall with his head and turned around, sweeping the floor with his tail. The wyvern looked right at me as if it was sensitive to the air! Coo-! Crossing the fort on its heavy legs, it started running frantically towards me.
“Here you sick bastard!!!”
Whoop- I let out a roar of evil along with my breath, and looked at the wyvern who was staggering and running at a mad speed. I was thinking of going down by luring them to the wall and making them slam their heads into it! Fu-wook! He looked at the knights who followed the running wyvern and stabbed his ankle.
“I think you should step back now!!!”
“Okay!”
“Hmm!”
The knights who cut and stabbed their ankles at my cry retreated with a clang of helmet. Jjaeok-! Staring at the pink mouth that was about to devour me in one bite, I poured mana into my feet and jumped up.
Wow!
[Keeeee!!!]
The strong wyvern’s teeth bit and broke the wall, but the huge body that couldn’t control its speed crashed into the wall and the body of the wyvern grotesquely bent.
Cooong! A long muzzle studded with arrows landed on the floor, and a flapping wyvern was scratching the floor with its staggering legs. To think that it would fly even after cutting it like that and leaving scars – the word “Very strong vitality” Naturally came out.
“Philip! Fill the restraints first! Bens bring the hammer and follow me! The rest is waiting!”
Cheolgreuk- Phillip, holding a large restraint tool, scratched the floor and headed for the Wyvern, and Mild, holding a blue-stained sword, took the lead and protected Philip. Scrubbing- Dragging the hammer on the floor, as Bens guarded the rear, the rest of the knights relaxed and looked at the wyvern from a distance.
[Kkeueek… !!!]
Boooung- The tail swung like a mace approached Mild, but evil-! Mild, who had cut off the scales and flesh, stared at the wyvern as he watched the tip of his tail rolling back and forth.
Clap – clap – clap –
While Mild drew the wyvern’s attention, Phillip, who quietly approached, immediately filled the restraining sphere and opened his arms wide. At the touch of the cold iron covering the scales, the wyvern opened his one remaining eye wide and finally opened his mouth wide and straightened his head.
[Khehehehehe!!!]
“Breath!!! Damage!!!”
Whoop- At the wyvern’s throat dyed red, scales, and the foreshadowing of the breath, Mild shouted in a loud voice and whoop-! The air-scorching fright caused the knights to throw themselves all at once and hide behind stones or collapsed walls.
“Quaaaaa!!!”
However, the knight in the helmet with the red collar let out a desperate scream and rolled on the floor. Chiik- Some of the melted armor stuck to his skin, and the hot red armor supported his body.
“Philip!!!”
All in all, it was Philip who was the furthest away, Mild shouted loudly.
“Soldiers carry canteens and go this way!!! The rest of the knights cover Vance, damn it!!! The restraints are released!!!”
Cheolgeureok- Cheolgeureuk- Cheolgeureuk- The restraints shook at the wyvern’s riotous gestures with one less locked restraint device. No one dared to step forward at the appearance of shaking like a reed, but I figured it out! There was a knight who moved first.
“Sonia-sama!!!”
Tadat! Tadat! Tadat! Shortly after hitting the floor, Sonia ran towards the Wyvern, and Sonia-! She approached, slicing her tail and rolling on the floor as she flew, bleeding her.
“Fuck… !”
Grasp! Seeing Sonia’s willingness to step out, I eventually threw her body over the castle wall. It was a precarious wall as she collapsed and the stones fell one by one, but she jumped quickly and jumped over it without any problems.
“What are you going to do at a distance that you can’t even reach!”
It was sheer luck that Phillip was able to fill the restraints. He almost succeeded thanks to the careless wyvern with his head on the floor, but in the end he was hit directly by the breath. Because of that, the Wyvern was still shaking its big head over the castle wall, trying to remove the restraining sphere from his neck, and Sonia ran into the Wyvern recklessly.
“Sonia! Please draw attention!”
“I get it!”
Quack!
[Keeeee
Sonia stabbing her heated white scales, her sword digging almost right up to her handle, and the wyvern howling at the sky swung her big head like a whip and attacked Sonia, but whoa-! Sonia, who passed her body behind her, lightly dodged it.
Kurung!
[Kehehe!]
Crying – Drops of blood the size of a human fist fell to the floor. Leaning his staggering head against the wall, the wyvern’s big eyes trembled pitifully, and he was breathing with his tongue like a snake.
“Lock it!”
Clack-clack- I had learned how to fasten the clasps and restraints from Mild and the knights beforehand, so I locked the restraints all the way without any problems. Uung- The letters engraved on the restraints shone for a moment, and I jumped off the wall without hesitation.
Whoops!
With the spreading dust, Bence approaches while dragging a hammer, and Sonia, who stands by her side, runs away! Sonia, who ran ahead without fear of her, grabbed her chest, raised her helmet cover, and said in a sharp voice.
“A person without armor just climbs the wall recklessly… ! What if something goes wrong… “
“Sonia-sama, what if you rush at it without any countermeasures? It’s not like turning people inside out.”
I spit out the words I had been holding back and shot Sonia. Sonia bit her lip and apologized to me. But Sonia, who looked at me angry, she looked happy, and she was staring at me with a weak smile.
“What is funny?”
“That, just. Are you worried? To the extent that it upsets your stomach?”
Caang! Caang! Sonia, who was staring at me while walking backwards toward Bens with a stake in the ground and swinging a hammer, asked me excitedly. Are you happy to be concerned? To say you like that kind of thing in this situation is like a flower garden in your head-
Jjeook-
“Do.”
“Huh? What?”
Grasp! Turned away by the unusual voice, Sonia slammed her teeth into her gaping mouth—
Wow!
“Kuk!”
Before being eaten, I kicked Sonia. Sonia fell on her side and her mouth was wide open as it came toward me.
Pooh-! The moment white fangs press down on my shoulders and the heavy weight tries to crush me, Kaaaaang! The sound of hammers hitting my ears rang out.
[Khehehehehehe!!!]
The fangs digging into her shoulders fell out and the wyvern stretched out her neck and howled, but within a moment, koo-ung! He slammed his large head on the floor and collapsed as he spewed foam at the pressure that covered his entire body.
“Ahhh… !!! It was triggered just in time!”
“Sir Mild, go Cassano!!!”
Turned upside down, snow stained pure white and a long tongue spread out on the floor. With hot blood flowing and the sense of relief that I was saved, I eventually fell forward with a pinging sight.
