230. Accidental Encounter (2)
After being approved for travel, Oliver was moved from the tower to the Outpost via a portal magic aid.
Outpost is a city located on the border between First Land and Northland, and was once a strategic military base to attack Northland.
Of course, when Northland was incorporated into the kingdom, its role was changed to a city, and it served as an intermediate stop for canned minerals in Northland and a processing plant.
Thanks to that, Outpost was the most vibrant city Oliver had ever seen, except for Landa.
It was enough to make a branch in the tower.
As soon as Oliver moved to the Outpost through the portal, he was told how to get to the research area with the help of the Matoap branch there.
‘If you want to go to Mountain Face, you must first take the train here to Holland. It is a place that can be called a city in the northeastern part of Northland, but from then on, there is no transportation infrastructure, so we have to find transportation on our own.’
You have to find your own transportation. It was quite a difficult story for Oliver, who had never done such a thing.
In particular, according to Kevin, there are many people who want to eat people from the kingdom.
Fortunately, the wizard of the Outpost branch helped Oliver.
‘Take this. It’s an introduction. Take this and go to the Hall family, its heir, for help. Then, I’ll attach a truck or something. The head of the household said he was not feeling well, so his son-in-law would welcome him, but he is a dirty-tempered person, so be careful.’
It was quite meticulous considering that he didn’t particularly like Oliver.
Do I have to say that I do my best in my work, independent of my personal feelings? Either way, it was respectful.
He also advised, like Kevin, to beware of street robbers, scammers, scoundrels, and beasts.
Oliver thanked him and got on the train. He said he would take the advice into account.
‘····By the way, this is how we meet.’
After reminiscing, Oliver looked out the window and thought.
I heard that there are many robbers in Northland, but I never dreamed that I would meet you in less than an hour by train.
Oliver used the warlock’s sight, looking at the number of robbers around the train.
Roughly 20 people, all riding illegally modified vehicles and motorcycles.
The engine part was over-modified, but the horsepower density or flow was too strong.
A level that will explode. Even if it didn’t explode, it wasn’t something I could use for a long time.
It seemed to be a one-time use to catch up with the train.
“Hey…! How the hell did the car catch up with the train?”
Just then, one passenger said. He murmured as he sat down with his suitcase in his arms with an anxious feeling.
And it wasn’t enough to be anxious.
Everyone in Oliver’s seat was anxious.
In a way, it might be normal. Most of the passengers are ordinary people. It was understandable that they were afraid of armed groups targeting them.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not all of them, however, were terrified.A man who appeared to be a father comforted two boys and a girl who appeared to be children, said:
“Well, don’t worry. There are bodyguards here to protect the train. No problem. A rescue signal was also sent. It’s okay, it’s okay.”
It wasn’t an unfounded story.
In fact, the train was loaded with mercenaries to protect passengers and cargo, and they were still doing their best to stop the robbers, such as shooting from the top of the train.
Previously, I had fired a flare in the sky and asked for help from a nearby military base.
Still, Oliver could not be hopeful.
It wasn’t that the skills of the mercenaries in charge of guarding the train were inferior, but the skills of the 20 robbers who continued to follow the train were also not that great.
All of them had considerable vitality, and six of them were magicians.
In particular, the double-edged man who followed Oliver’s seat in the modified vehicle stood out the most.
He stood proudly in the back seat, shouting to stop the train, even though the car was moving at great speed.
Because the voice contained magical power, it was clearly heard through the loud gunshots.
“It is the last warning! stop! If you don’t stop, you’ll see blood!”
The train did not stop, and the mercenary on the train fired a gun instead of answering.
Surprisingly, the man with the double-edged ax swung the heavy ax to the side to bounce the bullet and return it to the shooter.
A mercenary fell from the train with a short scream to see if the bullet had been hit.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of urgent footsteps was heard from the ceiling above the train. Recognizing the dangers of the double-edged ax man, the mercenaries moved to focus fire.
But it was too late.
As soon as the double-edged ax man deflected the bullet, he took a stance to jump, then condensed and exploded the magical power inside his body, and jumped as it was. jumped on the train
Even though both cars and trains are moving fast.
All the passengers in the audience were stunned at the sight.
bang-!!
Due to the heavy weight and power of the double-edged ax man, the ceiling of the train fell slightly.
When one of the robbers got on the train, the anxiety of the passengers increased a level, and they hugged the person next to them.
Some expected the train guards to stop them, but Oliver had a different idea, watching the fight on the train through the eyes of a warlock.
Because of the warlock’s view, I couldn’t see the fight in detail, but I was able to fully grasp the aspect of the fight through vitality and emotions.
Unfortunately, the battle on the train was dominated by the double-edged man.
He burned his overflowing magical powers to raise his physical abilities, then rushed forward and pushed the nearly five bodyguards.
It was a matter of how much he could resist because his mental state had already been defeated, not a state where he could win.
In addition, a new emotion was captured from afar.
Oliver recognized that he was a fellow of the train robbers, even though no one had informed him.
A pile of lumber blocking the railroad in the distance is proof of that.
It wasn’t a pile of wood enough to derail the train, but the pile of wood burning black smoke was menacing enough to stop the train.
As expected, the train came to a sudden stop at the sudden appearance of an obstacle, and for a moment people leaned forward.
Except for Oliver.
Oliver kept his body balanced by hanging Duncan’s tonpa, which he had brought for self-defense.
Awesome profit――――Bang!!!
Forcibly rubbing the iron made an ear-piercing sound, and the ceiling collapsed with the sound.
Two corpses with their whole bodies torn apart as if they had been beaten by an animal and a cleaver man who trampled on the corpse like a mat fell.
The double-edged man had a ferocious smile with his whole body covered in blood.
“Ha ha ha!! To whom would the weakling lamb dare…!”
With genuine joy, Oliver could see his hatred, anger, and resentment.
Fortunately, he didn’t seem interested in the passengers, but a little boy who was talking with his ex-father earlier saw a man covered in corpse and blood and burst into tears involuntarily.
At the sound of that cry, the head of the double-edged ax moved toward that direction.
The father held the child in his arms and begged as if to look after him, but the Cleaver man who had already seen the blood did not listen to him and gathered his magical powers and took a stance to wield the axe.
“Kyahahahaha…!”
He laughed and then puck-! and his eyes widened with a dull sound.
It was because Oliver, behind him, raised the handle of the tonfa and shot the man’s head with the double-edged axe.
The tip of the handle was not blunt, but rather sharp, so it was blunt and engraved at once.
A collapsed street robber. Oliver removed the tonfa from the robber’s head and asked the father holding the crying child.
“Are you okay?”
***
bang!
When the train stopped, 20 robbers in pursuit and ten robbers waiting in front of the train entered the train.
He got on the train, slammed the door, and threatened the passengers with guns above the ceiling, or wielding knives and hammers, and took valuables such as precious metals and luggage.
“Give me the ring! ring! There’s a necklace!”
“You want to go back?! Give me that burden! Give it to me!”
Intermittent gunfire with him.
The people were terrified and forced to be slaughtered like flocks of sheep.
Of course, the same goes for Khan where Oliver is riding. The only difference was that Oliver threw a cleaver and fell to the floor before the robber could even fire.
poo poo poo.
As soon as Oliver threw the ax to hit the robber, he again wiped the brain and blood from the tonfa handle with the double-edged ax man’s clothes.
The people in the same car as Oliver looked at him without even breathing.
It was scary, but it was scary in a different way. I felt a very foreign fear that was different from that of a robber or a murderer.
“Oh, it’s all cleaned up.”
Oliver checked the tonfa handle, got up and walked forward.
The reason didn’t matter.
Originally, I had no intention of going, but I happened to do it, and it was for the simple reason that it would be better to finish it now that I have come this far.
Oliver opened the front door.
Some of the passengers fled from the robbers by smashing back doors or windows, and women and children who were pushed back because of their weakness became prey to the robbers.
Whether it was being beaten while resisting or being trampled by people, an old woman was bleeding and fell.
Oliver made eye contact with a train robber looking for money in the old woman’s arms.
“·····swimming.”
The bearded robber smirked and pointed his gun at him. Then the trigger-
-Pak!!
Oliver threw the tonfa in his hand like an ax and hit it.
A steel tonfa filled with magical power flew at a speed unmatched by its weight and smashed the opponent’s head in front of him.
Similarly, in analogy, it is the shape of crushing one side of the pudding with a spoon.
what happened in an instant. Behind him, two robbers, who were searching for other bodies and luggage, said, ‘Huh? uh?’ While panicking, Oliver moved immediately. Using the seat as a springboard, very quickly.
Paba Park – Tak!!
Oliver, who used the magical energy stored in his body to strengthen his physical abilities, was not able to close the distance at once.
While holding the tonfa, he slammed a hole in his chest and swung the opposite tonfa like a whip, smashing the temple.
Invoice Doll – This is a skill I learned directly from Duncan, and it was the first time I used it in practice, so the behavior was a bit clumsy.
‘Still, I was good at learning. As a quarter-staff, actions must have been restricted in this narrow space. As well as killing with bare hands.’
Two robbers who ended in one breath.
At good timing, the robber in the front compartment entered. Like a lion, he had sporadic feet and a mixture of fat and muscle.
“Hey, stop playing and come out! Coming soon…”
When he saw the corpse of his dead companion and Oliver, he paused for a moment.
Accidents stopped in unexpected circumstances.
Oliver immediately threw a tonfa and put it on one side of his chest and shoulder.
He could not use black magic, and he had to use only pure magic school magic, so it was important to move quickly without being vigilant.
As Xenon, who was already disguised, was known to use pure magic magic, so there was nothing good about using other magic to stand out.
Oliver remembered the situation and looked forward.
Unlike the robbers Oliver had just knocked down, the giant from the front car endured the pain rather than dying immediately, raising his magical powers and preparing to fight.
“What a mouse bastard…!”
It hurts, but great willpower. Oliver stretched out his hand in admiration, and at the same time pulled the magic chamber connected to the tonfa.
By maintaining the strength of the magic chain, but only compressing it, the tonfa was pulled by Oliver’s power, and its size was also pulled along.
Like a fish caught on a fishing hook.
“Ahhhh!!!”
The corpse screamed as the tonfa caught in flesh and bone caused terrible pain.
Oliver pulled the magic chamber harder to force the tonfa out, and at the same time smashed the head of the large head as it was and smashed it.
I still have a lot to deal with.
“Let’s see…”
Oliver murmured as he watched the approaching robbers through the warlock’s eyes.
***
Taking down the train robbers wasn’t as difficult as I thought.
Due to the nature of the current Magic Tower employee, black magic cannot be used, and magic can only be used with pure magic.
With the eyes of a warlock, he was able to respond sufficiently by grasping the position and emotions of the opponent in advance, and responding according to the psychological state of each opponent.
It was able to easily subdue an unsuspecting opponent by quickly closing the distance and delivering a surprise attack, then throwing a tonfa at an opponent who was stunned and stiff, or attacking nearby objects by attacking them.
The effect was doubled by using the geography inside the narrow and easy-to-hide train.
In fact, as if to prove him, Oliver walked up to the head and defeated 20 out of 30 robbers, then came out and faced a train robber moving a chest.
“Where the hell did the monster come from…?”
The mustache man who seemed to be the head of the train robbery said, hiding behind the hostage.
He was terrified even though he was with a dozen men.
Oliver was puzzled by his emotional state, but it wasn’t really that strange.
Oliver’s sleeves and trousers were stained with blood when he came out after subduing all the robbers in the train.
Tonfa’s lethal power is too strong.
However, Oliver was not aware of this as it was the first weapon he used.
“If you move even the slightest bit, I will cut off this woman’s throat like a pig, so don’t move!”
The mustache boss shouted threateningly.
The request seemed so obvious that Oliver stopped without realizing it.
Meanwhile, other robbers cautiously approached Oliver’s side.
Instead of running away, he intends to take revenge on his colleagues.
Oliver was still standing still in accordance with the request, and suddenly a question came out of his mouth.
“…But, what does that have to do with taking him hostage and having me immobile?”
Pure question, not malice. So it was even more frustrating.
Embarrassed, the mustache boss once again held a knife to the hostage’s neck and threatened Oliver not to move, but Oliver quickly checked the opponent’s psychological state and killed the two oncoming robbers in an instant.
They swung the tonfa like a whip, striking each temple and chin.
Damn-! Two giants fell to the ground with a ghastly sound.
Oliver looked forward again. As expected, the man with the mustache did not take the hostage by the throat. He was now afraid, and that fear had just intensified.
For him, hostages are the only means of defense. It wasn’t something that could be easily killed.
Of course, it could not have been, but…
‘Then, what a pity.’
Oliver took hold of the tonfa and posed for a throw.
The goal is a mustache man. The idea was to make sure the hostage was safe by hitting his head. No matter how much I thought about it, it was the first time I saw it, so I thought this would be appropriate.
Just before Oliver threw the tonfa, something popped out of the mustache man’s face.
Somebody, moving among the fleeing passengers, approached behind him and pierced the back of the head with a knife. It was a dagger that was only about 20cm tall, but it was perfect for drilling a tunnel from the back of the head to the forehead.
“Ahhhh!!!!”
The woman held hostage screamed at the sight, and the man with the mustache shattered.
I saw a man attacking from behind with him.
face to see for the first time. However, Oliver knew him.
It was Wallace, one of the commanders of the Kell Free Liberation Army, who stormed Landa’s prison.
