Chapter 42 – Chapter 5

“Was the human castle originally this weak?”
“Since these humans are fighting against their stupid and savage kin, it seems that they are not as prepared as the humans we were dealing with.”
“Even so, it’s too weak.”

Of course, heterogeneous orcs who did not know that they had moved to another world had doubts about the ordinary wall.

“Chief. I’ve noticed a group of armed humans running away.”
“They’re lucky guys.”

The young orc, whose entire body was made of compressed muscles, looked in the direction the shaman pointed.

The young chief, who found the Wolf mercenary group raising a cloud of dust as if they were running away in a hurry, confirmed that there were about a hundred of them.

“Tantabrum.”
“Yes, Chief.”
“Lead the riders and plunder all the villages around the human city. In particular, the seeds should be secured as much as possible.”
“All right.”
“And let Rider 20 pursue those humans. If they leave the wagon and run away, you don’t have to pursue them.”
“Yes. Then we will move.”

The orc called Tantabrum divided the waiting Boer riders and ordered them to plunder villages along the way.

“Olat! Attack those humans with 20 riders, including you!
“Okay! Let’s go!!”

He relayed the chieftain’s orders to an orc named Olatra.

20 Boer Riders went in pursuit to plunder the supplies of Wolf’s mercenaries.

Of course, the mercenaries who were looking at the back in anxiety as they ran away found it.

“Captain! The greenskins are coming our way on something!”
“It’s scattering not only to us, but to other places as well!”
“For now, keep running! We have to somehow get away from them as much as possible!”

If the Orcs got caught here, another chasing party might cling to it.

However, if you keep going like this, sooner or later you will be caught by the Boer riders.

“Archers go up on top of the wagons! If you get close, shoot them so they don’t catch up!”

Lillian sent archers on top of the wagon to open fire.

Materials such as arrows are stocked up enough, so if you can buy time, it’s worth wasting a little.

There are a total of 5 warehouse wagons pulled by the Wolf Mercenary Corps.

It was also necessary to take a stable posture for shooting the bow, so it was the limit to ride two people per carriage.

“I-I’ll go up!”
“You’re done! We’ll take care of this!”

Kaicent also tried to go up, but the other archers stopped him.

This is because he was reluctant to put the young-looking Kai cent on a job that seemed obviously dangerous.

“Send Kaicent up!”
“Yes?”
“You have a talent for bows! Trust me and lift them up!”

Lillian shouted, revealing her dignity as a wolf.

The archers, who had never been harmed by listening to Wolf’s words, had no choice but to send Kaisent up.

The remaining members were near the wagon, ready to mount at any time.

Rumble- Rumble-

Climbing onto the roof of the wagon, Kaicent landed on the roof of the wagon, which rattled incessantly as it was driven wildly.

“Hey, are you okay?”
“Whoa… It’s okay.”
“I don’t know what I saw from you, but I can only believe what Wolf said. If you want to get off, tell me anytime.”
“You don’t have to worry.”
“Haha. That kid already knows how to say something arrogant.”

The archer with Kaicent smiled and took the most comfortable position for shooting on the rattling roof of the wagon.

‘You have to protect everyone. Lillian too!’

Kaicent, who wants to repay the favor to the Wolf Mercenary Corps for accepting him, suppresses his fear to protect Lillian.

‘I will definitely protect it this time!’

As Lillian said, if you get caught by the greenskins here, the pursuit team will come and you will be overwhelmed by the numbers.

Then it’s important to make the enemy give up before attacking your side.

‘Snipe the enemy who looks strong.’

If you succeed in sniping a strong enemy, you will calculate the benefit and damage you can get by tracking this side.

If you manage to snipe a few more people with the momentum there, the enemy will give up the chase.

Of course, it was expected under the premise that they were heterogeneous orcs, but the orcs who rode wild boars and charged them felt ferocity and orderly discipline.

“What is that? Isn’t that a wild boar?”
“A cavalry orc riding a boar?”
“They were real heterogeneous orcs!”

The only cavalry the greenskins use are goblins riding wolves.

At least hobgoblins sometimes ride on captured warhorses, but at least orcs have never played the role of cavalry.

The weight is also heavy, and it is too ferocious to ride a mount and fight.

‘A strong-looking orc. A high-spirited orc. It’s over there!’

Kaicent strengthened his eyesight, and unlike other Orcs, he was able to spot an Orc holding a single-bladed ax in both hands.

“Fuck! Shoot!”
“Guess the boars!”

As they approached the range, the archers began a rampage to break their will to pursue.

Kaicent also put his weight towards the strong-looking orc, feeding the newly issued bow.

“Hmm!”

Olat slashed the arrows flying toward him with an axe.

‘It’s a fairly strong arrow. It looks like a young human child, but is it a race of small puppets like gnomes?’

He shot his life at Kaicent, who had a young appearance and small physique.

“Hick…!”

Kaicent, who received Olat’s direct glare at the shooter, shuddered for a moment.

“Whoa!”

However, Kaicent, who had a sense of duty to fight for everyone in the mercenary corps and for Lillian, shook off his desire to live with spirit.

After that, most of the arrows, except for one shot that missed in the suddenly rattling section, were aiming for Ollat and the wild boar he rode.

‘Are you trying to target me, the captain? The correct answer, but not the correct answer!’

Ollat is a high-ranking warrior with his own commanding power and skill, although not as good as the commander-level Orcs.

No matter how many arrows you can fly from, it’s not scary.

‘No! The power is weak with this!’

If you apply more force than this, the string of the bow will break.
But with this level of strength, he can’t hit a commander-level orc.

I can’t give you any more power than this.
How can I give a stronger impact with the same power?

‘I put mana into the arrow and shoot it.’

But that alone isn’t enough. There is a limit to the amount of mana an ordinary arrow can contain.

What if you protect the bowstring with mana?
Can not be done. Since it is an ordinary bow, if you inject mana into it, there is a high possibility that it will not be able to withstand and will be destroyed.

‘Friction and rotation. Rotate the entire arrow to shoot.’

Even if it’s the same gun, the arrows are rotated and fired as if the power of the one with the steel wire engraved and the one without the engraving is different.

However, it is not possible to fire an arrow with strong rotation by pulling the strings.

I know the answer, but the formula to get there is empty.
At that time, the assembling of huge information and knowledge began in Kaisent’s head.

The way Kenneth and Lillian put mana into their weapons, the skill to spin arrows from their knowledge.

Just like putting together a puzzle without a single mistake from start to finish, Kaicent’s brain found the optimal answer.

‘What? Are you trying to do something?’

Ollat instinctively sensed a sense of danger when he saw Kaicent’s eyes changed as he glared at him.

‘Dangerous! Must kill!’

The instinct as a warrior howls.
You have to kill that dwarf. Otherwise I die

He grabbed a throwing ax from his waist and threw it at Kaisent with all his might.

The ax that flew faster than the arrow aimed for Kaicent’s torso.

A situation where you have to jump out of the carriage to avoid an ax flying from the top of the carriage, which is difficult just by holding your posture.

However, Kaicent quickly drew an arrow and fired at the axe.

Kagagagak!

The arrowhead changed its trajectory by scratching the blade of the flying ax as it rotated, and the ax flying towards Kaicent bent sideways and cut through the air.

Kai Sent, who fed the flesh again, muttered something in his voice in a low voice, then fired an arrow.

The mana-filled arrow pierced the storm-like curtain that raged in the local area, and flew toward Ollat, spinning at a tremendous speed.

Wheeeee

Arrows flying at a speed incomparable to those that have flown so far aim for his torso.

Olat crossed two axes in a sense of danger to block the arrows, but

Kiyiyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Pakak!

“Ouch!”

The arrows, spinning at breakneck speed, pierced Olat’s axes, pierced his armor, and pierced his torso.

Ollat, who was knocked out of the wild boar by the impact of the arrow, tumbled violently on the floor.

“Leader!”
“How dare you captain!”
“Stop! Stop! Don’t follow me!”

Other riders could not hold back their rage and tried to get closer, but Ollat, who survived, shouted and stopped the riders from pursuing.

“Cool! Ku-Hup!”

Ollat pulled out the arrow stuck in his body and stopped his bleeding using mana.

“Captain!
“Don’t say something stupid! Does that sound like that even after seeing this!”
“That…!”

He showed that the twin axes he was using had been pierced by arrows, and that the arrows had pierced his armor and wounded him.

The orc cavalrymen could not help but be astonished that Orlat’s own infantry had been destroyed by an ordinary, uncharacteristic arrow.

“It’s an arrow that pierced my armor and left its power even after destroying my own soldiers. Do you think an archer with this skill would be fine if he aimed at you while being escorted?”
“…”
“I knew they had someone this good, so it was cheap.”
“But…”
“And our people are violent and savage. They are a people who forget even simple commands when fighting the enemy. We need people like us who can follow instructions accurately in a situation like this.”

Warriors who fight well are needed on the battlefield, but the existence of elite soldiers who can accurately execute instructions and break the enemy’s tactics and plans is more urgent.

Orlat, a disparate orc, ordered his retreat, fearing that he would not be able to fight for his chieftain rather than fearing being blamed for his failure.

“I take all responsibility. Let’s retreat like this.”
“Yes.”

At Ollat’s command, the orc cavalry evacuated him and retreated.

“Huh? Retreat…?”
“What? Why?”
“To retreat so easily? Orcs?”
“By the way, who just shot that arrow?”

Even the archers knew that Ollat, who was better armed than the other Orcs, was a commander.

However, even with such a commander wounded, the orcs did not charge with ignorance paralyzed by ferocity.

Instead, it is intelligent enough to retreat as soon as an easy prey finds out.

“Whoa…”
“Kaisent, you…That just…”

When Kai Sent sighed in relief after successfully sniping Olaat, the archer next to him looked at him with surprised eyes.

The archers in the other wagons didn’t know it, but he was right next to him because he could see the arrows shot by Kaisent.

“…”

Unable to hide the secret any longer, Kaicent faced Lillian, who was looking this way.

*                           *

“The son of another world archmage? Kaicent?”
“Somehow, he seemed like a child from a noble family.”

After successfully escaping the pursuit of the greenskins, the Wolf Mercenary Corps took a break.

There, Lillian explained what they had kissed in advance, in case Kaicent’s abilities were discovered.

Kai Sent was the son of a warlock in his original world, and the reason he hid his abilities was because he was scared because he was attacked for being a warlock as soon as he came to this world.

“But it’s not too scary since Kaicent is a warlock, right?”
“I see. Warlocks look gloomy and frightening.”

Black magic generally deals with negative energy, so the user also has an eccentric personality in addition to his ugly appearance.

But Kai Sent is cute enough to look like a rabbit if only he had red eyes, and he behaves diligently.

That’s why, when they found out that Kai Sent was a warlock, he was astonished at his unexpected identity.

“So, what are we going to do now?”
“Yes?”
“Whether it’s a warlock or not, what’s clear is that you’re a wizard. No matter how bad the image of a warlock is, wizards are treated everywhere.”

Frederick had already heard all the circumstances from Lillian, but he wanted Kaicent to explain his future plans directly to convince everyone.

“Usually, I’d like to discuss this in a relaxed manner, but the situation is the case, so I’ll be honest. We can’t afford to hire a mage. If you want, I’ll escort you to a suitable city.”

Wizards receive high wages and have the privilege of having good loot.

The reality is that the small and medium-sized Wolf mercenaries cannot afford to hire magicians.

“I am…”

A lot of people were nervous about seeing him, but when he looked at Lillian, who was pretending to be a wolf, he opened his mouth with a determined face.

“I want to repay the kindness I received from Wolf. I have an honest feeling that I have no connection in this world, but I don’t want to abandon my benefactor just because circumstances have changed.”

The mercenaries nodded as if it were natural for Kaicent’s reaction.

“As expected, Kaicent is Kaicent.”
“If it was Kai Cent, he would have thought so.”
“Can’t warlocks in our world learn things like that?”

Kaicent’s sincere voice of wanting to repay the favor, the mercenaries naturally responded that they knew that.

It was because I couldn’t imagine that Kaicent, who worked hard at anything and tried to mix with everyone, would be different from now.

“From now on, Kaicent is the magician of our mercenary corps.
“Um…Frederick?”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“I-I want to help with the kitchen work… But Vex seems to be having a hard time alone…”

To be honest, the reason why Kaisent is a kitchen assistant is because the Vex’s food is hard to eat.

“Kitchen?”
“Oh, right! Kaicent should be in the kitchen!”
“If you take care of the Vex alone, there’s no taste!”
“What!? It’s delicious because Kaisent helps me and I can afford it!”
“That’s your idea!”

Thanks to what Kai Sent has shown so far, there is not a single mercenary that he is uncomfortable with, even if he is a warlock.

As proof, he even agrees that he, a black magician, will take over as a kitchen assistant, but he should rather.

“Stop it. It seems like you’ve had enough rest, so let’s move again. We don’t know when the greenskins will come again, so we have to get out of here a little bit.”

It wasn’t enough to relax just yet, so Lillian stopped the commotion and ordered them to move again.

The mercenaries thought that even if Kaicent became a warlock, it would be no different, but it didn’t take long for their thoughts to change.

*                           *

The fall of Munratel.

The news that Munratel, which is not a fortress level with magic-reinforced military fortresses, but boasts considerable defense among one-sided castles, was captured by the Greenskins in one attack, hit Harlot Kingdom.

Like Wolf’s Mercenary Corps, the survivors who barely survived after leaving Munratel for various reasons announced that they had simply captured Munratel by charging bizarre spheres and destroying the walls and gates.

The 1st Prince and 2nd Prince faction, which they thought was an ordinary greenskin army, were perplexed by the unexpected variable.

In addition, the greenskin army that captured Munratel began to grow its strength around Munratel, rather than moving its next target.

The greenskin army shows completely different movements from the previous patterns and has unexpected new weapons.

The 1st Prince faction and 2nd Prince faction wanted to deal with this problem somehow, but since they couldn’t turn their backs during the fight, they began to have endless meetings within the faction on how to deal with this.

Then a messenger was sent to the two camps with a proposal.

Margrave of Karaiden who used to protect the Kingdom of Harlot from the Kingdom of Lucy Arkenel and now from the Kingdom of the Dead.

Beyond Master, Aki and Karaiden, who reached the level of Origin, which is one of only a dozen people in this world, moved.
