132 – Hildeless Villa Hora Castle (2)
When the castle gate opened, a huge friendly shout erupted from outside.
“The gates are open! Let’s put these bastards to an end today!”
“Let’s go forward!” “All these bastards died today anyway!”
“Let’s go kill every single one of them!”
At the same time, you can hear the sound of drums pounding rapidly and the loud sound of trumpets coming from outside the castle gate…
It seems that Viscount Canossa ordered an all-out attack without leaving any strength to spare.
‘You row really well when the water comes in.’

As I was taking a moment to catch my breath, Otto, covered in sweat and out of breath, approached me.
“Century Commander, this has been enough, what are you going to do? It’s okay to leave it to the guys behind you and go take a rest. To put it bluntly, weren’t we the Baekbaek Unit who played the most active part in this siege?”
There are three main types of balls that a soldier can use when attacking a castle.
The first thing to do is to climb the castle wall and establish a bridgehead so that other soldiers can attack the castle.
And climb the castle wall and open the castle gate.
Lastly, we will directly capture the highest person in the city alive.
What is most highly regarded here is ‘opening the gates’, and there is a reasonable reason for this.
The first thing to climb the castle wall is that the longer the siege, the more different people will achieve this achievement each time, and when the castle falls, you can naturally capture the garrison commander.
Opening the castle gate means creating a path to conquer the castle while minimizing damage to allies from that moment.
‘So, it’s natural to say that we’ll stop here and take a rest.’
At that time, I shrugged my shoulders and said.
“I tell those who are seriously injured and those who are tired to fall back, and our hundred men go to pick off the commander’s head. “I won’t say anything if you don’t follow me, but…”
After taking off my helmet, I raised one corner of my mouth with a grin.
“If you work a little harder here, the first digit of the reward amount may change. Especially Platoon Commander Jackson, you will be retiring soon. “Wouldn’t it be easier to save up a little more money and live in the countryside with a 20-year-old beautiful woman?”
At those words, Jackson looked embarrassed and scratched the back of his head.
“Ah, f*ck. I will go until the end as the centurion said. “Oto-senpai, will you go with us until the end?”
When Otto agreed to this by nodding his head, all of his healthy body members expressed their intention to follow him.
“Now that things have come to this, I’m going to make myself a baron and get promoted!”
Baker, who has been following me ever since I became leader of the Ten, also pounded on his armor and made a rant.
“This time, I will capture a knight and use the money to buy the centurion a drink.”
I shrugged my shoulders and answered teasingly.
“Can I handle it on my own? “This centurion doesn’t eat unless it’s expensive.”
“This time, I also performed well. “I will be more active in the future.”
“Okay, I’ll keep an eye on you Baker to see how well you perform. “If it’s below the standard, you’ll be the only one guilty tomorrow.”
“Isn’t that too much?”
“You have to be so harsh about it. “How long have you been promoted to senior mercenary and are you already aiming for the position of commander of the ten?”
When I was sarcastic like this, the white guys started laughing like crazy.
“I knew that bastard would end up like that ever since he was too greedy for promotions.”
“You win today and go home alive, but you die tomorrow while fighting as a guerrilla.”
“Senior Baker, when you pass away, I will dig a deep grave for you!”
After letting them laugh for a moment, I immediately gathered the guys who could fight and got ready to rush into the castle.
“Once inside the castle, don’t pay attention to anything else and run into the largest building. “That must be the command center where our leader, Baron Custer, is located.”
Then, without delay, I led the soldiers towards the command post in the center of the castle and ran out.
Even though we were walking near where the Baron, the commander of Villa Hora Castle, was, there were almost no soldiers blocking us.
I was dumbfounded as to what kind of situation this was, but…
When I thought about it, this was because the soldiers and commanders of this castle were too busy to rush in to stop us from entering the castle.
If you look around a little, you can see that soldiers under the Viscount Canossa are fighting on top of the castle walls.
“Kill Baron Custer’s trashy henchmen!”
The mercenaries, knights, regular soldiers, and serfs under Baron Custer had a difficult time holding off the enemies that surged in front of them.
“Support! “Send support!”
The fact that they are asking for help even though the gate has been breached shows how desperate they are fighting.
Furthermore, as we saw from the watchtower, they have pinned all of this castle’s elite forces to the wall to protect it at all costs…
‘I have to finish it somehow before they come to their senses.’
“Run until the soles of your feet are on fire!”
After shouting that, I increased my running speed a little more.
As we approached the command post, an enemy knight and a few soldiers pointed their weapons at us.
“Kill those shameless, lowly bastards!”
When the knight saw me, he attacked me blindly.
I think they plan to change the course of the war by killing me, the commander of the White Army, first.
‘The idea itself is good, and it’s good that it has courage.’
“Get out of the way, you bastard!”
I deliberately hit his sword and it bounced high into the sky.
The sight of the knight’s sword flying in the air made the soldiers under his command look blank.
‘When you’re already so hard pressed and see your commander being toyed with, your morale drops even further.’
The knight took out another secondary weapon and tried to resist…
“Now die.”
The speed with which my sword blew off his head was much faster.
“We’re in a hurry, so if you surrender and surrender, we’ll spare your life! Otherwise, we will all die. If you want to return to your family, choose well.”
After saying that and pretending to swing the sword in the air, the guys dropped the weapon on the ground.
“You’re saving my life, right?”
“Because it’s a waste of time to fight with you guys. “Either hide in a corner, or raise both hands and surrender to Viscount Canossa.”
With those words, the guys who were fighting with us quickly ran away.
“Don’t chase after me for nothing. “Because I don’t have time for that.”
“Yes, centurion.”
After they disappeared, I looked around and saw a huge building made of stone.
No one said anything, but just by looking at it, I was convinced that that building was a ‘command center.’
“If you have a hammer or anything that can break something, bring it.”
At those words, Otto laughed and brought out a two-handed combat hammer.
“Century, I am here.”
It’s for combat use, so if you break the door of the command center over there, it will become unusable if you don’t repair it…
‘A hammer is a hammer, so it’s enough to break that door.’
“I’m going to break down the door, so you guys better watch the back. “When allies come, open it, and when enemies come, block it.”
After giving the last command, I quickly circulated the aura throughout my body.
Then he hit the door with all his might.
The huge wooden door cracked with a bang.
“If you keep hitting it like this, it will only be a matter of time before it breaks. But I have to be a little more prepared.”
I can’t hear anyone inside screaming in shock, so there’s a high probability that there’s something there.
I succeeded in breaking down the door by hitting it with a hammer dozens of times.
“It was good. “Now charge in!”
Instead of holding the hammer that had already become a rag, he grabbed the sword with both hands and hit the door with his shoulder.
Then the door opened with the sound of the door being broken, and just as I expected, there were wizards and archers ambushed inside.
It looks like the wizards have already almost finished chanting.
It wouldn’t be strange if some magic came flying towards me soon.
“Is this dangerous?”
I never know when a loaded bow will fire an arrow at me.
“Everyone bow down!”
While telling my subordinates to bow down, I squeezed out the Aura from all over my body and flew my body towards the enemy.
‘I don’t know about arrows, but if you hit a direct hit with magic, you will die.’
“Fire Spear!”
At the same time as I said that, a lot of magic flew in my direction…
“f*ck, I barely survived.”
I succeeded in getting into the enemy’s arms one step faster, to a location where their magic could not reach.
“Baby, you were incarcerated for ten years?”
I frantically slaughtered the wizards and archers in front of me.
They had little experience in close combat, so although their equipment level was that of regular soldiers, their combat ability was not much different from that of serfs.
And Otto doesn’t plan on missing this opportunity…
“Follow the centurion commander and charge!”
I looked back briefly to see that this guy was leading the group of hundred people well and following them…
‘There’s a baron over there?’
From noble mtl dot com
As soon as I discovered the Baron, I ran at full speed to where Baron Custer was.
“Baron, you can’t escape.”
Knights wearing fancy armor rushed in to stop me…
‘I’m a little faster.’
As I expected, the first to arrive in front of the Baron was none other than me.
“Die!”
Baron Custer swung his sword at me, and I dodged it very easily.
After dodging, the Baron controlled his strength enough to not get seriously injured and knocked the guy to the floor.
“Ugh!”
Then he held the dagger to the guy’s neck and declared.
“Martin Mayer, the centurion of the Whitebeard mercenaries, has captured Baron Custer! “If you don’t want the Baron dead, everyone surrender!”
As soon as those words were spoken, the men under Baron Custer inside the command center all put down their swords.
“This is it.”
