59 – 16. Massacre (2)
Aww!!-
Aww wow!!-
According to the captain’s command, the Warwolves move in unison.
Due to an unidentified enemy who suddenly jumped into the crowd.
I lost countless of my colleagues who were hunting together.
They even stole humans who were their spoils.
This is the prey of the herd.
It is an obvious hostile act, a provocation against themselves.
It is only natural that all the War Wolves would become furious and seek out the enemy.
Sniff sniff!-
Sniff sniff sniff!!-
Warwolves belonging to the search team caught the smell.
Unfortunately, it’s not the smell of enemies, but I can feel the smell of human blood.
The human blood they were playing with just a moment ago.
Woo woo woo!!-
The crowd moves at the cry to gather here.
Like a huge wolf, in perfect order.
It seemed like he would never give me a chance to run away.
Not long after, I noticed a strong smell of blood coming from not far away.
Compared to the plains, it is an area with comparatively more grass and narrow visibility.
Perhaps it was to hide here for a while and observe the situation.
Aww!!-
As if nothing had happened, the War Wolves rushed in unison.
To avenge the enemies of his comrades who have become corpses.
After chewing the bones of a guy who dared to harm his own people.
They would advance to the castle of humans where there would be more abundant food.
Although he lost his own people to the enemy’s attack.
It is still a huge herd of close to a hundred.
As they run all at once, it is absolutely terrifying.

Maybe if there was an original normal human before this.
Rather than face monsters, he would rather kill himself.
You may have made a decision that made a lot of sense.
Ssss-.
However, this time, the situation was completely different.
What the War Wolf would face was not the prey, but the hunter.
“Ooooh?”
I reached the place where the smell of blood lingered, but there was nothing.
There was only blood on the ground, and there was no trace of the enemy anywhere.
What happened to this all of a sudden, around the time they panicked.
The hunter began tearing away slowly, very slowly, from the outside.
Wake up!!-
oh oh oh!!-
The guys who were relatively fighting were concentrated in the center.
And conversely, the relatively weak guys fell outside.
How did the person who hunts them know that part?
Precisely from the outskirts, he hunted them down.
Kreurreuk!!-
Khuong! Big!!-
There is no way to know where or when the attack will begin.
Screams echoed from all sides and the monsters collapsed vomiting blood.
Some were decapitated, some were dismembered.
Another guy even split it in half from the top of his head.
They’re obviously under attack, but there’s a hunter who drives them.
Let alone its location or number, even its existence itself cannot be grasped.
No matter how strong it is, even if it is the magic beast of the second-class demon world.
Even in the worst situation, if you have a monster in front of you.
Of course, it was natural to feel scared and flounder.
“Aww!!”
Don’t panic, the leader of the group cries with all his might.
There aren’t many enemies, and if you stay alert, you can easily defeat them.
Encourage my men to fight more thoroughly.
At the command of the captain, the War Wolves also barely came to their senses.
Then, as ordered, look out for the enemy while vigilant in all directions.
Wooo!!-
Seeing that, the leader of the group let out a satisfied cry.
I realize my authority when I see the crowd moving according to orders.
It is at this time that the position of the captain is exposed.
flash-.
Something in the moonlight cuts through the night sky and strikes like a meteor.
The last thing the leader of the War Wolf pack caught my eye.
Drenched in the blood of his own people, he vomits terrifying eye light.
It was the existence of ‘human’ that I was so easy to take care of.
Fuhuk!!-
In the tumultuous situation, the sound of water gushing is heard.
Right after that, the demons saw the body of their captain, whose head had disappeared.
He is the strongest and most influential person in the group.
The captain became a headless ghost in the blink of an eye.
“Wow!!”
“Kuong! Awesome!!”
When the person with the authority to command disappears, chaos ensues in the group.
I said there is only one enemy, but if one dies on the left, another one dies on the right.
I could definitely feel the commotion in front of me, but when I turned my head, there was a wind of blood behind me.
The whole place is literally in the middle of hell, the center of the abyss.
Witchbeasts who had slaughtered humans not too long ago.
But now, on the contrary, they were being thoroughly slaughtered.
There was only one human being who was carrying out that carnage.
* * *
“… .”
Even at dawn, Adele didn’t show up after all.
Shien, who was anxiously waiting for him, informed Brenda of this fact.
As the person in charge of the procession, he is in charge of personnel management.
“that… All are my faults. As a person in charge, managing personnel… .”
“no. Everyone didn’t even notice. I will be right back.”
I wonder if they are patrolling as far away as possible?
Shien muttered that while trying to smile.
While feeling sad that Adele suddenly disappeared without a word.
For some reason, a part of my heart keeps beating anxiously.
It feels like my heart is pounding like this.
It was the first time since the news that his father had died in the war.
“Hurry up! We have to move before the morning sun rises!”
After all the preparations for the march, now we really have to move to the place of the decisive battle.
On the horse, Shien continued to glance around.
I get the illusion that Adele appears out of nowhere and calls out to me as ‘Siennim’.
But that’s just your own wish.
His face was nowhere to be seen.
‘What the hell happened, Adele? Why did it suddenly disappear without a word?’
Even while the valet, who asked for help from Lichtenauer, was guiding the army.
Shien couldn’t stop thinking about Adele.
Nothing comes to mind to explain his strange behavior.
I don’t know if Adele had a strong tendency to be selfish from the beginning.
Didn’t he show that he did his best to obey the orders he gave?
‘Perhaps, while patrolling in the middle of the night, the Witchbeast… ?’
I don’t think he’s weak.
Rather, it is considered stronger than any knight in Lichtenau.
However, isn’t the demonic realm that appeared around here a 2nd grade?
No matter how much Adele had dealt with the 3rd grade Demon Lord alone.
There is more than just a numerical difference between the two Demonic Views.
‘… no. That’s not going to happen. If that’s the case, demon beasts should have invaded the camp.’
It was in the middle of a mess in my head with all sorts of thoughts.
Brender, who was riding next to him, opens his mouth.
“My lord. Suddenly, the command stopped the advance.”
“yes? why. Have magical beasts appeared in front of you?”
“I don’t think so. The scouts sent to the front arrived a little while ago, and soon after they arrived, the advance seemed to slow down and then stopped altogether.”
Building an army in the yard where time is urgent?
A military march is not a simple procession of one or two people.
Stopping once is work, and moving again is also work.
In the meantime, if confusion arises, it can have a very negative effect.
There’s no way the commander of the Imperial Army doesn’t even know that.
Why did he stop at a point where even if he accelerated his steps, it would not be enough?
I guess I’ll go to the command center and find out what’s going on.

Making that decision, Shien turned around and headed there.
And it wasn’t long before I heard the shocking news.
“… What did you just say, Commander Runnstadt? Did you say that the monsters were almost wiped out?”
“First of all, that’s what the scouts say. What appears to be the corpses of second-class monsters, Warwolves, are filling the fields at some distance from the main unit.”
“Could it be that there was a desperate fight in a nearby territory… .”
“It is not. Listening to the reports, there doesn’t seem to be any signs of a battle.”
Wasn’t there a battle? what is this again
If it is full of the corpses of demon beasts, there is nothing to explain other than battle.
“… massacre.”
“yes?”
“Other than those words, no explanation is possible.”
“Wait, wait. Commander. Is it a massacre? Is that what you said?”
What kind of places and what kind of guys are the 2nd grade devils and 2nd grade demons.
It was hell itself that even the knights of the imperial family struggled with in the past.
They are monsters that almost took away everything in Lichtenau.
If they did a massacre, they did it, but they were never the ones to be victimized.
“I think so too, Lord Lichtenauer. However, there is no sign of resistance that should be shown in a battle. Even the scouts’ reports of seeing the wounds on the corpses are consistent. All of them are said to remain only in places that inflict fatal injuries, such as the chest, head, and neck.”
If a battle really took place, half of them should have minor wounds.
However, the only thing left on their bodies were traces of cruelty.
“First, we sent more scouts to assess the situation. When more information comes in, I’ll call you back then and tell you about the situation, Head of the House. I would like you to return to your seat and wait for my order.”
At Commander Runenstadt’s request, Shien nodded.
I still can’t believe his words, but I can’t even imagine.
There was no way the commander of the Imperial Army was lying.
‘It’s a massacre. It’s not a battle against 2nd grade monsters, it’s a massacre. Nonsense.’
I thought so, but Shien soon had no choice but to give up his thoughts.
“Huh.”
Even the knights of Lichtenau were frightened by the appearance in front of them.
The corpses of witches scattered all over the place.
It was pierced through the chest, decapitated, and cut in two.
As the scouts said, there was no sign of a battle.
The scenes unfolding before us were literally in the middle of a massacre.
An even more horrifying sight had just begun.
“Oops.”
Some soldiers could not stand the vomit and retreated.
The knights who came to support from the territory also turned white.
Thread the heads of the war wolves into the spears one by one carefully.
It was tightly planted in a nearby tree.
It’s like seeing a monster made up of monster heads.
As if he wasn’t enough, he dug out all the eyeballs one by one and collected them.
Several corpses appear to have been gutted alive.
Everything was something that could never happen in a normal battle.
“This, this… .”
Is this really the end that level 2 monsters can face?
The soldiers who were ready to fight with burning will swallow dry saliva.
Even the knights couldn’t say anything and were silent.
“… .”
Looking at the scene, Shien felt sorry for herself without realizing it.
In that cruelty, I feel an unfathomable rage.
I can feel the hatred that I couldn’t erase even though I treated him so harshly.
And I see someone who will be bleeding and suffering.
‘how… .’
Who the hell could hold such deep anger and hatred?
Who the hell is the one who has those feelings that go deep into the bones?
