A heart to give to others
While his vision was blocked by the flames, Hyeon-jun, who spurred a tree to lift himself high, swung his sword as he jumped behind Jerdu.
Hyeon-jun’s body spun in the air, and the sword drew a large circle and struck Jerdu’s back of the head.
Empty!
“Kuk!”
Even if he was a knight, he was hit in the back of the head in a defenseless state. The impact cannot be ignored.
Hyeonjun’s blow made his head bow forward, and his eyes shook mercilessly.
However, Yerdu immediately turned around and ran towards Hyeon-jun, who had just landed on the floor.
The full plate armor structurally prevented the neck from bending. If it wasn’t for that, even after blocking the attack with the helmet, his neck could have been broken and he could have become incapacitated.
Hyeonjun spewed fire again and threw himself back. Hyeon-jun, who had been stepping back as Jerdu’s vision was blocked, stopped by sneaking across a tree, then turned and ran in the opposite direction.
Jerdu, who was about to pursue, hesitated again because of the tree, and had no choice but to watch Hyeon-jun change his position.
“Whoa…”
Yerdu stopped for a moment and looked at Hyeonjun.
Hyeon-joon, who stood quietly on the other side of the two trees, seemed more like a monster than a human. He is a very clever and insidious guy.

Jerdu moved sideways to create an angle for a straight attack, but when Hyeonjun moved one step to the side, a tree was placed between them again, making it difficult to attack.
The movement of a knight wearing full plate armor and running like a chariot to crush the enemy. By preoccupying an exquisite position, he is blocking it without swinging a sword. At the same time, without using the magic of the armor, it induces an attack by changing the direction and leaving room for the attack.
‘I feel like I fell into a trap.’
Yerdu ran towards Hyeonjun again. He’s playing as intended, but he’s a knight. Hyun-jun’s bizarre tactics can also be smashed from the front.
In order for Hyeon-jun to strike Jerdu anyway, he had to insert his sword into the gap in his armor. All magic is blocked by the armor. I’ll set it to the rhythm for now. The armor blocks attacks, and the magic of the armor heals the body. However, the moment Hyeon-jun swings his sword at Jerdu’s gap, Jerdu will not miss the opportunity. Until then, we must continue this tedious and grueling battle.
Hyeon-jun’s magic erupted again and disappeared, blocked by magic defense, and Jerdu chased after Hyeon-jun’s new model shimmering through the trees.

“La Hansen.”
“Lahansen, calm down.”
“…okay.”
At Gunther’s stinging words, La Hansen finally came to his senses and answered. Standing at a distance, the soldiers and mercenaries are quietly glaring at each other in formation.
The mercenaries were sweating coldly, holding their spears and shields tightly. They stand comfortably at Gunther’s orders, but they can’t relax at the fact that they may have to fight head-on against regular troops outnumbering them.
“Tell me about a knight named Jerdu.”
Lahansen looked at the soldiers on the other side for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Sir Jerdu has been a knight of the Situvan family for about two years. I haven’t turned 30 yet.”
“I must be thirsty for the ball.”
“Yes. But he is a true knight who knows honor, and he would not have volunteered to do something like this.”
At that, Gunther glanced at La Hansen.
“Then why were you sent to assassinate?”
“The other knights didn’t want to send their servants. Sir Jerdu just followed orders.”
There was not the slightest hesitation in sending his seed to a dishonorable assassination, and even to death. And in this way, the knight himself follows the order, erases the family crest, and obeys the order even while wearing a stigma.
He is a rare loyalist and at the same time a foolish hukou that is good to use.
“Is there a chance for Jun?”
“…to be honest, I don’t know.”
Hyeon-Jun uses magic, and pours unimaginable swordsmanship with strange movements on Mana Knight.
However, in front of a knight in full plate armor, what is needed is strength and skill after all. Even if you pour magic and strike the sword, you have no choice but to be blocked by the armor.
In order for Hyeon-jun to win, he must overcome the huge mountain of full plate armor and the swordsmanship of an outstanding knight named Jerdu.
“Even if it’s a Mana Knight?”
“Yes. Because the time available is too short.”
Even if Hyeon-jun could strengthen his body with mana for only 20 seconds, La Hansen would have predicted Hyeon-jun’s victory.
However, Hyun-joon cannot maintain the current body strengthening even for 10 seconds. On top of that, he couldn’t control his mana, so once he used reinforcement, he had no choice but to use it until his mana was depleted. If Jerdu makes full use of the armor’s magic and breaks Hyeon-Jun’s offensive just once, Hyeon-Jun has no chance of winning.
“Well, we should leave that to Jun. We do our own thing.”
Saying that, Gunther lifted the halberd. Accordingly, the mercenaries also lifted their spears and shields to solidify their formation. Because the soldiers are coming in step with each other.
“hehehe, nasty bastards.”
Jerdu followed the bitten Hyun-jun into the forest and disappeared from sight. There is only the sound of metal clashing somewhere in the distance. Their duel has already been going on for over 5 minutes. I can’t tell how long it will take.
The soldiers ignore the knight’s warning and walk forward. It is clear that he intends to kill Yerdu here before he returns.
“I am not Situban’s soldier. It must be an Askan soldier.”
“Lahansen, you do what you do.”
“what?”
“preparation!”
After Lahansen asked back, Gunther shouted like thunder.
The mercenaries pressed their shields and aimed their spears. All those who wore armor and held halberds gathered behind Bangjin’s right side and took their seats. While the left and center hold on, I will hit the right side and annihilate it by turning around and hitting the back. The flanks were blocked by wagons, so the number is small, but it’s a fight worth trying.
Lahansen gritted his teeth in a confused head and didn’t know what to do. He always went into battle at someone else’s command. It’s the first time I’ve let go of my hand and say I’ll take care of it like this.
What could a 15-year-old inexperienced body do with such solid formations clashing against each other? I’d rather fight with agility in a one-on-one situation, but in this case, it’s only a battle of strength and power. Like a knight, La Hansen has neither the power nor the skills to disrupt and shake the opponent’s formation.
“sh*t!”
In the end, Lahansen shouted like a scream and jumped over the carriage and backed away. no one looked back at him I just focused my attention on the enemy in front of me and kept my seat while pressing my body that was starting to heat up.
The rear is blocked by wagons, and the front is approaching with more regulars holding their formation. As they stood blocking their escape route, Gunther spat and squeezed the halberd tightly.
“I’ll kill all of them until Jun kills the knight and comes back. Got it!”
“yes!”
As soon as the mercenaries answered, the soldiers slowly picked up speed and started to run in alarm.
The mercenaries were positioned deep inside the V-shaped terrain made of wagons, and just before they collided, they raised their shields, thrust out their spears, and charged. As they ran out into a wide space, those holding halberds came out from the empty right side and attacked mercilessly.
bang!
“Kuaa!”
The tremendous noise created at the moment of collision is deafening.
There were people who collapsed with screams and rattlesnakes all at once.
“Get up, you asshole!”
“Keuh…”
The right side of the mercenaries literally destroyed the left side of the opponent with a heavy attack that made full use of the power of the halberd. Regardless of whether or not the spear came flying, he threw it away with his armor and swung the halberd with all his might, cutting off his head and shoulders.
Those who were blocked with shields also hit their bodies with their arms lowered by the terrifying impact, and the ones whose shields were lowered were killed by halberd spikes digging in and piercing their faces and necks.
However, the situation was very bad in the center and left. The right side smashed the opponent with the overwhelming mass of the halberd and strong armor, but the center and left side collided with the enemies, a few of them bounced off and rolled on the floor or fell down after being hit by a spear.
There is a difference in mass because the armor is also relatively weak, but they only ran about 2 to 3 meters compared to the enemies who ran long distances and greatly increased their speed. Because of this, there was an overwhelmingly large difference in impact force, and there was no choice but to bounce off and fly.
“Big!”
A spear hit the leg of one of the mercenaries who fell and rolled on the floor, and the soldiers tried to dig into the empty formation. Gunther didn’t say anything when he saw that scene, but just pushed forward with brute force to kill the enemy in front of him.
Gunther hooked up his shield with the blade of his halberd axe and pulled it vigorously, thrusting a spike into the staggering man’s head, trusting his armor, covering his head with his arm, charging like a bull and finally breaking through the enemy’s left side.
“aaa!”
Following them, swinging their halberds from side to side, the mercenaries completely collapsed the formation, and the left sides of both sides collapsed. Now, all those who were holding spears are throwing away their spears and wielding weapons such as one-handed swords, maces, and axes and swinging them at the opponent.
The battle now depends on how long each left side can hold out. At that moment, a small new model rushed behind the soldiers who were digging into the mercenaries’ collapsed formation and swung their swords violently.
“Suck!”
“Cheack!”
Lahansen hit one guy in the head at once, and instead of correcting his posture, he turned around behind the defenseless soldiers and lowered his stance, cutting off the legs of both of them at once.
“Kuk!”
Unable to balance, he dropped to his knees and touched the ground with his left hand, but Rahansen jumped up and passed the men who were falling down with cuts on their legs, thrusting his sword into the man’s armpit who held his sword high.
Then, while drawing his sword, he pressed close to the others, hitting them on the head with his elbow and swinging his sword like crazy.
“Hold on! Hold on!”
“Ah!”
The one who fell to the ground with his brain shaking from being hit hard by the helmet screamed and crawled across the floor to block the formation that had been pierced with a shield. The one who collapsed with an injured leg threw a spear on the floor and stirred like a madman.
Incredibly, 14 mercenaries and a squirrel won the game against 20 regulars. The mercenaries felt a strange sensation. In the first collision, it was greatly pushed because of its mass and speed, but as it entered the melee, it was rather easy to deal with the number. Yes, you can vaguely feel how your opponent will attack. It comes in like the track that Hyun-jun pointed out!
“Push!”
“Kwaaa!”
The left side of the mercenary corps screamed, covered itself with a shield, and rushed at it with all its weight like a madman.
Mercenaries and soldiers alike lost their balance and rolled on the floor, intertwined, grabbing each other’s limbs, butting heads and shoving knives through gaps in armor.
After a while, the mercenaries with halberds broke through the formation and pulverized the center of the soldiers, striking the heads of the fallen soldiers on the floor, and striking the backs of the still standing soldiers, killing them in one shot.
“Big!”
Gunther, who had driven the halberd into the shoulder of the last standing soldier and twisted it, stood with the halberd on the ground.
“hehehe… finish it.”
At that, the mercenaries surrounded the fallen and incapacitated soldiers and began to mercilessly kill them with their weapons.
Gunther watched the scene in silence, then breathed heavily and spat bloody saliva. He then exhaled through his nose, pierced his blood-clogged nose, and wiped his face.
“Are there any dead ones?”
“Whoa… not yet.”
One guy answered. Gunther followed his glance and looked at the fallen guy. An ax hit his shoulder, tore through his armor and shattered his collarbone. They don’t vomit blood, so their lungs aren’t injured, but it’s impossible to camp and march with such wounds.
Gunther looked up and looked at the others. A man with a severe wound on his leg and a bandage, a man who could not even stand after being beaten in the head, and a man with a severe cut on his arm. Gunther himself gets dizzy from being hit in the head, and his thigh is stamped, so he can’t even stand properly.
“Search the body.”
At that time, La Hansen gasped for breath and said. He was covered in blood and looked very tired, but he appeared unscathed. It was because he crossed over the carriage and hit the enemy’s rear.
“The ones who can move are looking for campsites with me. Since we sent this much regular army, there must be at least one potion.”
And moving without hesitation, the soldiers ran in the direction they came from. The mobile mercenaries also scattered after him and ran to search the forest.
Gunther sat down and began to dig through the bodies of the soldiers. I thoroughly searched the inside of the breastplate and the pouch around the waist.
‘If there is no potion, most of these guys will die, and I can’t follow Jun either.’
Although the quality of the armor was lower than that of the opponent, the mercenaries were also quite well equipped. Therefore, in the left and center where the battle took place with spears and one-handed weapons, there were no ones who died instantly, even though there were those who were incapacitated. It was the same with the enemies, except for the ones I destroyed with the halberd, everyone was on the verge of being searched for, but they were still alive.
‘I can’t come all the way here and leave.’
The mercenaries moved busily with Gunther.
