180 – Fishing Operation (7)
The friendly guys chasing the fleeing enemy soldiers in front of you will be in a really good mood right now.
Our allies break the earthen pots of those who try to escape by any means other than their tails with a mace or stab them to death with a spear.
All you have to do is almost unilaterally slaughter those who lose order and run away.
But now, for us, it’s like we’re just stepping foot in the foot, no, the real fight has just begun.
Those who are trying to retreat will rush at us in an attempt to kill us who are blocking their rear.
“You should never be like a cat that gets bitten by a mouse.”
As we strengthened our resolve and took the lead, we saw an enemy mercenary leader leading his mercenary unit and running towards us from the other side.
“I will open the way, so you guys just look at me and follow me!”
To those words, the guys under that mercenary leader responded with a mix of desperation and anticipation.
“Yes, Captain.”
“f*ck it, I’ll only trust the captain!”
“Let’s go back alive!”
Looking at the mercenary leader running towards me with wide eyes and out of breath, it seems like the mercenary leader is holding the center of the mercenary group and is at least retreating.
The mercenary leader ran towards us with a sword in his hand.
“Black Crow Mercenary Captain, Weizen Predente is leaving! “Get out of my way!”

Then he swung his sword and started cutting down my mercenary soldiers who were forming a formation.
“Euracha!”
As each person fell and died, the crows cheered.
“Let’s just follow Captain Baizen!”
“I usually have a crappy personality, but my skills are amazing.”
“Becoming an expert is not for everyone.”
Well, even among knights who only train Aurors and swordsmanship their entire lives, only about 10 to 15% make it to expert level.
It is truly amazing that a mere mercenary can rise to that level.
Is that why? The guy named Weizen gained momentum and swung his sword like crazy, slaughtering our soldiers.
“Die, you idiots!”
No matter how well trained our mercenaries were, they could not stand up to the expert human tanks, so they began to slowly fall back.
“f*ck! “Someone help me!”
But the other units are also busy dealing with other guys.
“Those crazy bastards are crazy because they want to live!”
“Someone with free time go over there and help me!”
“If you keep doing this, you’ll break through, damn it!”
Hearing those words, I quickly ran towards where the guy named Weizen was.
He was very conspicuous because he was wearing armor with gold work, which was very flashy.
‘If you do that, it is effective in raising the morale of your subordinates. Still, I don’t think it’s a good idea.’
As soon as Baizen saw me, he burst into laughter.
“I will kill this old man with one sword!”
It’s much better than someone who is bluffing about something they have no skills at all, but I hate to see people who aren’t nobles acting like this.
Spending money on things like armor, weapons, and capes that you wear to show off is not a problem because it is your own burden, but it is clear that the mercenaries under your command will suffer because of that appearance.
‘In normal times, you probably used a lot of mercenaries under your command, right?’
As I was analyzing the guy in my head, his sword flew towards my neck at high speed.
“Die, you son of a b*tch!”
I violently bounced off the fast-flying sword and tried to hit Baizen’s neck in succession, but…
Weizen quickly lowered his stance and avoided my attack.
“Ten…”
The White Beards who saw this workshop shouted loudly.
“Captain Martin has arrived! f*ck, I lived!”
When the captain and platoon leader saw me appear, they couldn’t hide their excitement and gave orders.
“They are coming from the front, so maintain your formation as much as possible! Hang in there!”
A situation that cannot be found in a war where guns, grenades, and shells run rampant, where ‘one person’ controls the atmosphere of the war.
As someone who has many memories of fighting in modern warfare, this situation is new and thrilling no matter how many times I experience it.
So, if the knights become expert and strong, they don’t have to go to the front line, but they go to the front line and fight.
The guys behind us are looking forward to us, so we must win to live up to their expectations.
“Crow bastard!”
This time, I swung my sword first and attacked him.
The target area is the right armpit.
Baizen blocked the attack by raising his sword at an angle.
“You little brat!”
A battle of power broke out with their swords clashing.
I pushed the sword inside Baizen’s body, and Baizen was trying to push my sword out of his body. It was a dizzying situation.
‘It’s dangerous to get pushed here.’
If you are pushed, you will lose your balance momentarily, giving the guy a momentary gap, and if the worst happens, you may lose your sword.
So, I had to push through with all my might.
“Die!”
“f*ck you, kid!”
When each other was engaged in a battle of equal power, I focused my Auror on the sword I was holding.
Baizen was unable to hide his astonished voice as he saw the blade slowly being covered with blue aura.
“f*ck, crazy…”
After a while, my sword began to burn with a bright blue fire, as if I had lit butane gas on fire.
“Take a look somewhere.”
When Baizen saw that the sword was on fire, he immediately pulled himself out.
Because of that, my sword suddenly floated in the air, but to prevent my movements from becoming tangled, I strengthened my legs and waist to catch the recoil.
“Ugh.”
The recoil of swinging with all my might, including the Aura, was stronger than I expected, so my back muscles were a little tight…
“Get lost!”
After I caught the recoil, I immediately launched myself and hit the guy’s breastplate with my shoulder.
“Pfft.”
The two of us fell to the ground.
To be exact, I was laying the guy down, but due to the shock when I fell down, the sword was not in my hand.
“Holy sh*t.”
But just as if you don’t have a fist, you have to bite it with your teeth, now I have a dagger, so I’m trying to finish it off quickly…
A curse mixed with a groan came out from the mouth of the fallen guy.
“It’s not enough to chew and eat…”
As soon as I heard those words, I hit his helmet with my right fist.
‘Before we start resisting, we need to beat them up a few times to make them lose their minds.’
Right now, I’m sitting on him, but if he drops me here, I could be at a disadvantage.
No, if one of this guy’s subordinates steps in and hits my head… If I’m unlucky, my earthen pot will break and I’ll die on the spot.
“Oops.”
After hitting the guy’s helmet a few times with my steel gloves, the guy’s movements slowed down a bit.
It seems that there is no more effective means of attack than hitting the head.
At the same time, I quickly pulled out the dagger from my waist with my left hand.
“Die, you bastard!”
When I was about to stab him in the neck, the guy must have regained consciousness and grabbed both of my arms tightly and tried to push me away.
“f*ck you! “You bastard!”
I tried to stab the neck of the mercenary leader in front of me, and the mercenary leader who grabbed both of my arms struggled to push me away.
He flails his waist like a fish or twists his whole body from side to side in a desperate attempt to throw me off.
It wasn’t easy to hold on to all this and use both arms to stab the guy’s neck…
“Ugh…”
As my level was a little higher and the fight had just begun, my side was stronger, so the knife gradually started to go down towards the guy’s neck.
‘Please die, you bastard.’
I prayed to Deus in my heart to let this bastard die, and gave strength to his arms.
“f*ck you, damn it!”
I held on with strength until sweat started to trickle down from inside the armor, and at some point, I felt the strength in his arms suddenly disappear.
I didn’t miss that opportunity and stabbed the knife into his neck.
The man whose throat was pierced was unable to say anything except pouring out his blood.
“Cock, cluck.”
Just like that, his body trembled and then stopped.
“One string is extremely tough…”
After catching my breath after seeing that, I used a dagger and succeeded in separating the guy’s head from the body.
“I thought I was going to die.”
I stood up grumbling and picked up the sword that had been dropped nearby with my right hand.
‘If I lose my sword, there is no answer no matter how expert I am.’
Then he raised the head of the enemy mercenary leader high with his left hand and shouted.
“I, Martin Mayer, cut off the head of the Black Crow mercenary leader!”
When I shouted that, everyone’s eyes turned towards me.
When the black crows looked back, they had an expectant expression on their faces, but the moment they saw the leader’s head, they shed tears and despaired.
“Captain, has the captain passed away?”
Although they were retreating, it was not strange at all for them to react like that since the leader, who was the hope and focal point of the mercenary army, was dead.

Some cowards even dropped the weapons in their hands.
“Uh, uh… I shouldn’t be doing this.”
The executives of the Black Crow mercenary unit urgently stepped forward to take action.
“Even if the captain dies, if he fights until the end, he can return alive! Charge forward!”
They say things like that, but they all have blank eyes and open mouths like they are living in the world.
On the other hand, the Whitebeard mercenaries were happy to announce this news as loudly as possible.
“Captain Martin cut off the head of the Black Crow mercenary leader!”
“We are winning! Now all you have to do is hold on!”
“Hold on through evil!”
The problem is that it is not easy to hold on, but if you can raise your morale like this, you will fight well until the end.
“The first button has been successfully put in place, now everything depends on what Count Dion does.”
