171 – One more time, one more advance (4)
When the man who looked like a commander behind him gave an order, the enemies immediately gave up their lingering feelings about the men running away.
Then he gritted his teeth while glaring at us, the new entrants.
“These bastards came in and caught everyone!”
Some guy in the second row even pointed with his finger.
“Hey, you bastard with no morals!”
What kind of moral morality is there for mercenaries to meet and fight each other in war?
To put it bluntly, isn’t it a f*cking war where everything is possible other than rape and massacre?
Whether they know such things or not, it is truly absurd that they are saying things like that.
“Where is the morality in war?”
After making such a mockery, he swung his sword widely with aura.
Those in the path of the sword died in vain.
After that, their eyes and interest naturally focused on me, Martin Mayer.
Then, they rushed towards me with weapons such as swords, maces, and hatchets.
“Die, scum!”
However, I did not take a step back and gladly welcomed them, and without waiting for long, I calmly sent them to the nether road.
Our mercenaries have already served more than one person today. In a way, it’s like I was forced into this situation.
In such a situation, as their leader, I cannot show myself being pushed back or retreating, something I am not proud of.
‘If you fail here, you’ll just be a fool with arrogance, but if you win here and go home, you’ll become a leader with well-founded confidence.’
“We will see the match properly here! “I will capture these bastard commanders alive and return victorious!”
When I told the Whitebeard mercenaries to cheer up in a loud voice, I heard lively replies from all over the place.
“Shouldn’t we win this fight?!”
“Don’t lose to Captain Martin.”
“Life is just one shot anyway, so don’t hesitate like a man and just f*ck it first!”
The guys who said that immediately followed behind me.
I would normally say this, but I would have fought while considering all variables such as my allies’ physical strength, morale, and the state of the enemy in front of me.
Why? Even when dating, if you blindly pursue someone because you like them, at some point you will become a stalker and end up wearing a silver bracelet, or you will not be able to avoid being criticized because you feel burdened.
Even in battle, you can win if you fight while considering the state of your allies.
‘However, our children are very tired right now.’
So, if a relatively long battle involving pushing and pulling continues, you will collapse from exhaustion while cutting.
So, it would be better to push in and destroy them in a short period of time.
“Otto! Hilde!”
Two people responded to that statement.
“Yes, boss!”
“Yes, my lord!”
I thought it was awkward that there was someone in the mercenary unit calling me master.
But right now I don’t have time to think about such random things.
“We are mobilizing all the kids we can right now. Either the guys in front of you will be annihilated or our allies will be annihilated. There is no other way, spread the command!”
This is a radical order to fight first, no matter how much the allies sacrifice.
Normally, other lower-level commanders would try to stop me, saying this is a bit harsh, but they aren’t that stupid either…
Instead of stopping me or refusing the order, he immediately accepted and spread the order.
“This is the commander’s order. It’s either death or destruction!”
When the soldiers heard those words, their expressions crumpled as if they had written ‘He has become X’ on his face…
Mercenaries have very liberal military discipline in normal times, but on the battlefield, they are a group with a strict hierarchy where even the slightest violation of orders can lead to their heads being cut off.
During my training, my body learned that if I disobey orders hundreds or thousands of times, I could be beaten to the brink of death, so there was no backlash at all.
All of them were holding weapons and swinging them while chanting and chanting.
“f*ck! f*ck! “You die and I live, you bastards!”
When our mercenaries began to fight without thinking, the enemy mercenaries we were dealing with were very embarrassed.
The attack of the guys who had been swinging their weapons while looking at us as if they were going to kill us stopped for a moment.
Then his eyes widened and he muttered.
“Have we developed a disease caused by a group of crazy people?”
He was upset that reinforcements showed up out of nowhere, and he must have been embarrassed to see them fighting as if they were berserkers.
Now that the enemy is panicking, you have to find the opening even a second faster and dig in to defeat a fairly large enemy even when your allies are exhausted.
Even if a sword master can take on hundreds of soldiers with just one person, why isn’t there a story of him being assassinated by being stabbed by a poisonous needle held in the hands of a three-year-old child if he was careless?
‘We need to keep them in a state of panic for at least one second longer.’
“Assault troop! Let’s go!”
Normally, I would have waited for my subordinates to arrive, but the stormtroopers following me now are superhumans who can use Aurors.
Even if I dig in quickly, you won’t be able to catch up.
Therefore, in order to raise my power even a little, I concentrated the aura on my sword and blew it hard.
Then, along with a burning sound, blue flames appeared on the sword…
A man who looked like a sharp-witted mercenary leader shouted in a loud voice.
“f*ck, this is Expert Intermediate! Screw that bastard first!”
When I had just reached the expert level, I rarely heard the word George mentioned, even referring to ‘my level,’ but now that I have reached the intermediate level, I am treated like this. Then, when he moves up to expert level…
It seems likely that enemy barons, viscounts, and even counts will give orders to kill me first.
It may seem like a delusion of grandeur, but I have heard that once you reach Expert level or higher, you can become the core of an attack of 2,000 to 3,000 or more people.
With those words, numerous mercenaries flocked to me.
“I can’t let you run wild!”
“f*ck you, you bastard!”
“Everything is perfect!”
Just as when handling a task, if you tackle the most difficult task first, the rest will become easy. In combat, if possible, it is better to kill the strongest first.
Why? If you kill me, the morale of the allies around me will drop, and the combat power of the hostile group itself will decrease.
But do you think I, the poisoned person who came all this way, will be easily let go?
“You idiots, really.”
I lightly cut them down with a flaming sword.
Because I’m wearing a helmet, I don’t have to manage my facial expressions, but in a crowded situation like this, ‘directing’ is also necessary.
When you start showing your sincerity, you are nothing to me.
It’s a cringe-inducing thing to do when someone with poor skills does it, but when a person with strong skills swings his sword with confidence and slaughters his allies with ease.
Wouldn’t it be much scarier than a guy who makes a fuss or gets angry and chases after you with a knife?
Then the people who were cut were torn in half with their armor intact.
“Ugh, ten…”
One guy’s neck and shoulders were separated relatively cleanly, another guy was cut in half at the waist, and another guy was cut off vertically from the top of his head.
Blood should have flowed from the cut, as if it had been cut with a guillotine…
Instead of blood pouring from the cut surface, the characteristic smell that comes from burning a human came out due to being charred by Auror flames.
“The smell is terrible.”
The guys hesitated for a moment when they saw the difference in appearance before and after releasing their full power.
“Calm down and push on! “There’s no one around that bastard!”

Still, I’m not good enough to be defeated by kids like you.
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
I deliberately cut down those who were less skilled than me, one by one, with slightly exaggerated movements.
“aaahhh, hot!”
A scene where a dying man whose body is cut into pieces complains of burning pain, which is the pain of being burned.
As I was acting out my martial arts skills like a scene from a movie, this time a guy holding a huge great sword appeared in front of me.
Judging by the way his body is spewing out a lot of auric mist, is he an expert level?
“I, Toleo, will kill you! Die!”
I also changed my fighting stance in an instant.
Because the opponent is an expert, I could die if I make a mistake.
The guy swung his great sword and tried to split my head.
It would be crazy for an ordinary Auror user to not be able to split iron armor, especially helmets, but those above Expert level have the power to cut steel.
The attack had to be prevented.
“f*ck.”
Perhaps because it was an expert level attack, each attack was quite heavy.
Furthermore, the sword he wields is a greatsword that weighs more than three times more than a normal sword…
With the incredible speed added to it, just catching it put quite a strain on my arms.
“Ugh.”
I am the leader in terms of level, but the sword style is different, so it is quite difficult.
In the meantime, the good news is that the guy is starting to show his weaknesses.
“f*ck you, damn it!”
I shed his sword and aimed straight for his neck.
But the guy grinned unpleasantly.
‘What is it?’
Then, when I glanced back at the direction the guy was looking at, there were guys aiming at me and trying to swing their maces and weapons with perfect timing.
If you attack like this, or avoid it incorrectly, you will be at least seriously injured.
When my body froze for a moment like that, the assault troopers came running and cut off their necks from behind.
“Captain, I’m sorry I’m late!”
Instead of answering right away, I kicked the guy’s head instead of his neck and cut off his head so as not to miss the opportunity when the guy threw his sword.
“No, it’s not too late. “Thank you, guys.”
