141 – Guerrilla Combat and Ambush (7)
War is very similar to human relationships.
Just as in relationships with other people, it is really important to get involved where you need to get involved and leave out where you need to get out.
‘It’s the same when leading an army and fighting.’
However, if you lower your tail and run away, they may notice that our soldiers are few in number.
“I’m so weak that I can’t play anymore, you bastards!”
While teasing them, I cut down the enemy soldiers near me and killed them.
“My body…”
I began to retreat backwards as I separated the dying men from the groans, and the platoons belonging to my white corps in various places also began to retreat.
“Centurion Martin said it was time to go home! Let’s go home!”
“I’m sorry I can’t play with you more, kids!”
“Let’s play together next time we meet!”
Just as the platoon commanders stood at the vanguard of each platoon, when opening the way to retreat, those with the strongest force in each platoon also stood at the forefront.
When they broke in, they came in full of spirit, but when they retreated after winning, they began to retreat even more energetically.
Otto deliberately swung his sword wide and showed off his fancy movements, decapitating the enemy soldier who was blocking him.
“Get out of the way, you bastards!”
The other platoon leaders also started to break through, giggling like crazy people and acting like they weren’t tired.
“You fools who are worse than maggots, get out of my way!”
No, listening to those guys’ voices, they seemed so excited about hitting the Baron in the back of the head and running away that they forgot all about how tired they were.
‘Well, compared to recognizing that you’re tired and gasping for breath, this is much better.’
“Each platoon must retreat as quickly as possible!”
When I gave that instruction, Sir Leon, who was pointing his sword at me and showing off his fire, became angry with a loud voice.
“You guy, you’re trash, worse than a rat!”
You act like you don’t know that when you hear something like that in everyday life, it’s an insult, but when you hear something like that from an enemy soldier in war, it’s the greatest compliment.
No, you know, but you can’t control your anger because they marched quietly and then got beat up one-sidedly like that?
Well, anyway, that voice sounds much sweeter than most classical music to me now.
‘It’s always the best to hear the voice of a person filled with anger.’
“Thank you for the compliment, Lord Carnester!”
When I returned the compliment to me with a thank you, I started hearing a lot of unintelligible swear words coming from behind me.
I’m sure the guy who scratched me is still saying harsh things, right?
Now all we have to do is retreat properly…
“Attention Martin Baekun University! “I will take charge of this hundred-strong team!”
When retreating, the most dangerous thing is, of course, the soldiers stationed at the tail end.
So, as the leader of these people, it was my duty to support them in order to protect my subordinates.
‘A person who shows his true value in a place like this gains fame and rises to a higher level, right?’
In addition, it is something that must be done in order to be recognized as a lord worthy of being loyal to Hilde.
“You guys just trust me and run away quickly!”
No response came back from the platoon commanders and other subordinates.
Instead of our hundred men responding, the subordinates below the platoon leader began to fight even more desperately.
“Century Martin risked his life for us!”
“f*ck, trust the centurion and break through! “We have to get out so that guy can survive!”
“Don’t block the road, I’ll kill you all!”
The price of sacrificing my life for the success of the operation began to hit me right away.
“Even if the others miss, kill that bastard!”
The elite soldiers under Lord Carnester were coming a long way behind, but other ragtag guys started running toward me all at once.
Everyone’s eyes were bloodshot, and their faces were as red as if they had been heated by a fire.
You bastards, you get angry easily because you got punched in the back and lost some of your comrades.
“You don’t have to be scared if you have to attack a group of scumbags.”
No, in fact, if dozens of weaklings gather together and rush to kill me alone…
To be more honest, I am so scared that I can feel my spine going numb.
It is said that I can exert inhuman strength, but if I am stabbed by a sword, I bleed, and if I am hit by an arrow, the arrowhead burrows into my skin.
Of course, if you are mortally wounded by someone without an auror, you will die.
So, if dozens of people attack me at once and succeed in piercing my loophole, I cannot avoid dying.
“But damn, men fight with evil, violence, and sometimes even bravado.”
When I said this and made up my mind, several people surrounded me at once.
“Knock that bastard’s head and entire body to death!”
I don’t know who was behind me, but following the instructions of the High One, the soldiers swung their weapons vigorously, targeting various parts of my body.
Head, chest, shoulders, neck, armpits, thighs, calves and even knees.
“Please die!”
When I saw the guys desperately attacking me, even adding the word “Please,” I felt that I was truly in danger.
“Will you die obediently?”
I was able to avoid their attacks to some extent by taking a step back.
“Cowardly bastard.”
However, I was unable to avoid some of the attacks due to my length, and a pained moan came out of my mouth.
“Ugh, sh*t…”
The guys who hit me tried to attack even more violently, as if this was their chance…
“I’m faster, you guys.”
When the group’s connection was momentarily lost, I threw my whole body forward and swung my sword very wide from right to left.
Because I suddenly got between the weapon and my arm, the attack did not reach my body.
“You guys missed the mark?”
However, those on the sword’s path did not escape serious injury or death.
“My arm, my arm is wow!”
“My shoulder was cut off!”
“Blood, blood keeps coming out! “I don’t want to die!”
When fighting multiple people as one person, the best thing to do is to look for gaps by going back and forth like this, one step back, one step forward.
I repeated this process several times to gain as much time as possible, but…
With no business due to the slowly increasing volume of goods, I began to be pushed into a corner.
‘Is this dangerous?’
From noble mtl dot com
But thanks to the fact that I’ve cut down all the guys so far, they couldn’t even dare to attack me.
“Guys, should I go first?”
After a brief standoff, I continued to wait for a signal that our white men had retreated to some extent.
It’s really dangerous if they’re delayed like this, Deus, please…
Just as I was thinking that, I heard the cheerful sound of a trumpet and the rapid sound of a drum.
I muttered quietly to myself at the level of a whisper.
“The cubs escaped in time.”
As soon as I was sure that there was a way to return alive, I casually threw the throwing dagger I was wearing at my waist straight ahead.
When I made an unexpected move while the tension was high, the guys who were confronting me lost their stance.
“Now is the time!”
Then I immediately turned my back and started running.
I did this as fast as I could, squeezing out the strength I used to drink from my mother’s milk, or even the strength to suck on Karin and Lucia’s nipples.
‘It’s time to do the thirty-six precepts.’
Everyone will recognize this as we are retreating and running away.
“f*ck, stand there!”
I heard Sir Leon’s voice from behind, but I didn’t look back.
The moment you look back, your speed slows down for no reason, which only increases your chances of dying.
“A man shouldn’t hesitate when a woman he broke up with calls him behind his back, but would he turn around if he were like you, you bastard!”
So I ran like hell and succeeded in getting near the guys who fought with me while swinging swords…
Those who followed me encountered archers and wizards waiting in the forest.
“Spear of fire that burns away everything, burn my enemies! Fire Spear!”
As Lucia was the first to chant and use intermediate magic, other wizards also chanted and cast magic at the same time.
“Fire Ball!”
“Rock, crush my enemies! Stone Bullet!”
“The power of lightning, lightning!”
Earth magic, water magic, fire magic, and other various magics neatly killed those who were pursuing us.
Furthermore, I could hear the sound of arrows flying towards them.
“Everyone, wizards and archers, go into the forest! “It’s to lure them in!”
Even if we go inside, there are no reinforcements to help us, but in times like this, we have to pretend that there are.
And perhaps the operation worked perfectly, this time a trumpet sound was heard from the enemy camp.
When I looked back, the guys were backing away while swearing.
“f*ck, those rat bastards…”
A successful surprise attack while receiving the highest praise…
This is enough to be recognized by Hilde, right?
Ah, of course, this is the real start, so if it’s not enough, you can just show yourself more active.
