194 – Ambush is fun (5)
From Noble mtl dot com
Barba pointed his sword at us and pulled up the Auror.
The standard for dividing realms is only one level different, but the auror coming out of his body was very different from mine.
No matter how much aura I emit, it only spreads like fog, but Barba’s whole body is emitting an intense force as if it were covered in clouds.
The guy let out a cold voice.
“Name your name, mercenary leader. And there’s a spearman.”
Hilde answered those words first.
“I am Hilde Bauman, a centurion of the Whitebeard mercenaries and Martin Mayer’s knight.”
I also answered next.
“This is Martin Mayer, the mercenary leader of the Whitebeard Mercenaries.”
As soon as Barba finished introducing himself, he rushed towards me.
“Die!”
It is clear that the person swinging the sword is a person, but even though he does not use any special sword techniques…
His sword creates wind and a roar similar to that of a biker passing by.
I decided that I had to do my best to block the sword being swung with an ear-piercing roar.
“What the f*ck!”
I held the handle of the sword with both hands and received the guy’s strike.
“Ugh.”
A bit of an exaggeration, no exaggeration at all. The burden felt like fending off an angry bull with both hands.
Even though I used all my might to block it, my arms shook and even my waist swayed.
Once you reach the advanced level of Expert, will you be able to freely use attacks like this?
I, an intermediate expert, am like this when dealing with him, but how would ordinary soldiers feel when dealing with him in actual combat?
“Die! Martin!”
Barba continued to fire fast and heavy attacks like flowing water, or rather, like a dam bursting and releasing water bombs in succession.
In the blink of an eye, an attack with the same level of impact as hitting a motorcycle running at full power, which I could feel, continued to attack me once every 0.1 Seconds.
Every time the sword collided, it sounded like something was exploding.
His muscles and bones were screaming due to the strain spreading throughout his body…
“f*ck you!”
I can’t sit here and collapse just because I met a guy like this, or rather, a strong person like this.
If I die here, Lucia and Karin will not be widows legally, but in reality they will be widows and will miss me and be heartbroken for the rest of their lives.
Hilde will also be lonely for the rest of her life, unable to find anyone else to serve.
If my head gets blown off here, I won’t be able to see it myself, but just imagining it is very scary.
‘Survive at all costs.’
If I hold on like this, Hilde will be by my side and help me in some way.
I shouted with all these emotions as if scraping all the energy out of my stomach.
“Why don’t you look after me?”
“I like it!”
“f*ck you, die!”
If I had the same intention, I could have already hit Barba’s head dozens of times, but in reality, I mustered up enough strength to barely withstand his attacks.
Just when I didn’t know how many sums I had aimed for, I heard Hilde’s voice.
“Master!”
Hilde aimed her own spear at the nape of Barba’s neck through the empty space on her side.
‘Please let go.’
However, Barba avoided that perfect attack by stepping back slightly.
“Tch, you monster.”
It was a secret but sure blow that was as natural as flowing water, so much so that it was practically an assassination.
That bastard dodges that attack like that.
Barba sighed and praised us.
“They fit together like a couple who has been together for decades.”
Even if not now, wouldn’t it be a desirable master-slave relationship in the future where they eat and play together and sleep together at night?
That’s what a couple is.
“Thank you for the compliment. However, it has only been a little over a year since my lord and I met.”
“It’s none of my business how long it’s been since we last met, but the important thing is that you guys had to die here today for the Viscount. I’m sorry.”
Barba attacked Hilde this time.
He thought that when he was attacked directly, it would only throw extremely fast and heavy attacks, but when he watched from the side, he realized that its power was actually stronger.
I am well aware of the roar and wind emitted from a motorcycle running at full power, and the power of being hit by hundreds of kilos of metal…
Every time Hilde countered his attack, she rose to the level of expert and thanks to her improved eyesight, she saw the blade of the spear, a keepsake given to her by her father, made with a mixture of mithril, being sharpened little by little.
‘The mithril alloy blade is coming out…’
Even if you hit a black rock made of mithril alloy thousands of times, the blade won’t go out. It’s crazy to think it’s happening like that.
Should I continue to support Hilde like this, or should I take advantage of Hilde’s opportunity like she did?
In the meantime, Hilde was increasingly being pushed into a corner.
Furthermore, the reason Hilde has held on until now is not because her skills are strong compared to expert beginners, but because of the rule that ‘when fighting a sword, a spear has an advantage several times over.’…
“Your spear-wielding skills are quite good!”
She became increasingly anxious.
Even if I survive, if I lose Hilde, that would be a tragedy I can’t bear.
‘No matter how nervous you are, you can save Hilde only if you stay alert.’
As they watched closely for a few seconds, Barba struck Hilde’s spear hard.
Then a disaster occurred when Hilde’s left hand missed the spear.
“Ugh…”
Barba tried to strike Hilde’s neck with her sword as if this was her chance.
‘Now is the opportunity.’
When I saw the opportunity, I quickly picked up my sword and ran towards Hilde.
There was only about 2 meters between her and me, and at my running speed I could reach it in about 0.2 Seconds.
Normally, I would have screamed his name and tried to stick a knife into his neck…
‘Even Hilde and I together can’t handle this guy.’
So in the end, the best thing to do is to go back and stab him to death, like an assassin.
Meanwhile, Barba was doing her best to kill Hilde in front of her, and Hilde was trying to somehow avoid the attack.
Only 0.2 Seconds, a time in which an average person can only move his body slightly.
However, for super people who have reached the level of expert, it is a time when they can kill several opponents.
That’s why I had to aim for Barba’s neck with just one shot.
“Please, f*ck…”
With breathing stopped, I aimed and stabbed the guy in the neck as fast as I could.
Rather than seeing it with my eyes, the blood I felt in my hands and the feeling of digging into my flesh told me first.
“I barely killed him.”
Honestly, it would have been impossible for me to kill the expert knight this time without the joint attack with Hilde, and I was also lucky.
Anyway, since I killed a high-ranking knight, it will help my level rise…
Barba lost his strength and fell towards Hilde.
“Even if he’s a loser, I don’t want men other than me touching him.”
After saying that, I looked at Hilde and lowered my head.
“No matter how much I say it’s to kill Barba, I’m sorry.”
“No. Even if you and I attacked with all our might, you were a difficult opponent to defeat, so you were waiting to take advantage of an opening, right?”
Hilde smiled brightly at my words without any pretense.
“Just a little while ago, I was watching for an opportunity behind my lord’s back to kill him. If we hadn’t done that, the two of us would still be fighting Barba. “My lord, I, or both might be dead.”
When I heard that, I gritted my teeth.
I am angry at the fact that my level is still so low, and it is true that I almost lost my woman because of it.
“……”
Hilde looked at me intently.
“The war is not over yet. And if my lord, you are willing to be loyal to me… Could you grant me one wish when this war is completely over?”
There is an oath between Hilde and me that is much stronger than a mercenary contract, and I have an obligation to reward Hilde’s achievements accordingly.
No matter what the case may be.
“Let’s start with Viscount Hidalgo over there and think about it.”
I grabbed Barba by the neck and declared his death.

“I, Martin Mayer, have killed Barba Guzman, the chief knight of the Viscount Hidalgo family!”
The death of a knight who was classified as the most elite of the elite even among the knights of the upper level of expert and the knights of many counts and marquis.
It had the effect of severely lowering the morale of the enemies here.
It was so effective that Viscount Hidalgo seemed to think it couldn’t go any further.
I immediately tried to raise a retreat signal.
When I noticed the scent, I shouted.
“Whitebeard mercenaries! Don’t miss that bastard! “It’s worth at least 8,000 gold coins!”
Mercenaries make the most money by annihilating other mercenaries, but when dealing with noble armies, capturing noblemen makes the most money.
“f*ck, Viscount, stand there!”
We soon succeeded in capturing Viscount Hidalgo, and the news of our army’s victory rang out on the battlefield.
At the same time, a new order was issued.
“Any troops that can afford it, chase the enemy!! “Don’t leave a single one behind!”
I have no intention of following along.
“Our Whitebeard mercenary unit does not participate in the chase. “Let’s go back!”
