205 – Shaking Outside (7)
Just as it is useless to brag to people because you cannot see after wearing expensive silk clothes on a dark night, you must have achieved a great achievement. If we remain still, no one will know what great things we have done.
The fact that ‘I did it’ must be widely known.
So now, rather than rushing to attack the headquarters locked inside the castle, you should first boast in front of everyone that you opened the castle gate.
“Is there a rider here?”
At that, a rider appeared holding a fairly large flag.
“Carl, the senior rider of the mercenary corps! Here it is!”
“I need to borrow a flag.”
After receiving the flag from his hand, I went to a place with some space and waved the flag loudly so that everyone could see.
“Martin Mayer of the Whitebeard mercenaries under Count Dion has opened the castle gate!”
At those words, the eyes of those who were pushing in outside the castle gate all focused on us.
So far, there have been so many that I have received attention on the battlefield that it is difficult to even count them all.
The feeling I get every time I receive attention is exhilarating and new.
“Whitebeard mercenaries have opened the castle gate!”
After shouting like that a few times, our mercenary troops cheered loudly.
“Long live the Whitebeard Mercenaries! Long live Captain Martin Mayer!”
“f*ck, we opened the gate!”
“Long live Captain Martin! Hurray!”
Otto, who was quick-witted, made a fuss, so several other riders rushed out and waved their flags in sync with me.
“Our Whitebeard mercenaries are invincible!”
If I were to become an Auror Master, I would be invincible.
That may be a bit over the top, but let’s just leave it at that.
Isn’t good something good?
After returning the flag to the senior flag bearer, I called the soldiers together.
“The gates have been opened, but the war is not over yet. “Shouldn’t we capture those fat noble pigs in the inner city?”
Everyone nodded their heads at those words.
“That’s right! “We must capture every single one!”
If there was someone who couldn’t read the atmosphere that said it was enough because the gate was opened, it would have been a pain in the ass.
Children, being very greedy is like a mercenary, which is nice.
“Okay, then let’s hurry into the inner castle!”
When everyone was ready to follow me into the inner castle, I threw the knife I had gotten from an enemy soldier to my guide.
The guy who received it tilted his head.
“Why are you giving this to me?”
I chuckled at those words.
“Only our mercenary group knows that you surrendered to us and taught us the way. So, if you don’t join us, your chances of surviving are low even if you escape from here.”
If he had been a decent mercenary leader or nobleman, he would have killed this guide as soon as he finished showing the way.
That’s because it would be a waste to give 50 gold coins to a poor traitor.
However, as I listened to this guide’s story, it reminded me of his past, when he almost got married to a widow in her 40s and ran away.
Keeping people in the back after promising them was also not my aptitude.
Thousands of gold coins will be dropped as a reward for winning the gate, so there is no need to go crazy trying to save money like a miser.
“Yes.”
“So, if you live first, won’t you at least get money? Follow us till the end and survive. “Then I’ll give you 50 gold coins.”
As promised, I will give this traitor 50 gold coins.
“Thank you!”
The guide naturally went to the place that seemed the safest in our formation, and I immediately tried to find Hilde and take care of her first.
At that time, Hilde appeared across from me, smiling brightly.
“Master! Congratulations on opening the gates!”
“It’s still too early to celebrate. We need to capture a high-ranking person in the inner city.”
“Yes, my lord!”
“Run with your inner strength!”
After confirming that Hilde and Haxen had joined, our mercenary unit hurriedly ran towards the inner castle to launch a final attack.
In the meantime, the surrounding allies were making sarcastic noises towards us.
“Don’t you damned people have any morals?”
No, we’re just doing the best we can.
“His Majesty, the Emperor of Montmartre, has shown us a favor, but we must act like dogs and be loyal until the end.”
“You damn bastard!”
“Thank you for the compliment!”
And on the way, I encountered mercenaries hired by the Barcelo guys…
The guys knew that the gate had already been breached, so they put their swords in their sheaths and did not resist at all to show that they had no intention of fighting.
“f*ck it, just pretend you didn’t see it!”
If you defeat these guys, you will receive a reward, but it is a new blood compared to the nobles who are lodged inside the castle.
“Get out, you bastards.”
“Thank you!”
The mercenaries lowered their tails and quickly began to run away.
“Pathetic bastards, really.”
After laughing, we left them behind and started running.
As we approached the castle lord’s mansion in the innermost part of the fortress, there were numerous elites standing in front, guarding it in a very strict posture.
I couldn’t help but sigh when I saw them with their strong polearms lined up with the will to protect this place no matter what.
“f*ck, really.”
As I was running like that, I looked to the side and saw the flag of the Emperor Montmartre on one side.
A unit that moves with a large flag, the highest rank among silk flags.
Elites, even the lowest knights, wearing armor made of mithril alloy.
‘They’re royal knights, right?’
“Jacques von Louis, Commander of the Knights Templar of Montmartre, will punish those evil enemies on behalf of His Majesty!”
A tremendous amount of aura erupted from Zach’s body.
It was not an auror fog, but a force so strong that it could almost be considered a storm.
A blue film was suddenly visible on the purple Orichalcon sword he was holding.
Then the length of the sword became longer…
“Die!”
When he swung his sword, deafening wind and noise occurred simultaneously around him.
‘f*ck, a human can swing a sword at supersonic speed and fall asleep.’
The expert knight’s sword was visible, but the sword of the guard knight commander, who is an auror master, was not even visible…
In the blink of an eye, 0.1 Second, enemies continued to die, one by one, two by one.
“Ugh!”
Someone was seen flying due to the wind that arose when the sword was swung.
“f*ck it, save people!”
Is that a person or a human disaster?

The enemy was not stupid, so they mobilized a lot of wizards against Auror Master Zach and tried to keep him in check with magic.
“Die, Fireball!”
Numerous fireballs flew towards him, but the magic did not even cause the slightest scratch to the Auror Master.
Because when his sword swung, all the fireballs were slashed and cut away.
“What the f*ck, magic?!”
However, he did his job of buying time, and now the most powerful magic the enemy could use attacked him.
“Phoenix, burn and destroy my enemies! Red flame, turn it to ashes! “Phoenix Strike!”
With those words, a huge phoenix-shaped flame that seemed to be three meters wide flew from the sky and struck Zach.
‘Could they cut that down too?’
Zac leapt into the air, jumping nearly ten meters and swinging his Auror-clad blade.
Then the Phoenix, which was in good spirits, was cut in half in the air…
“f*ck, this is kind of amazing, isn’t it?”
The lump of flame that was cut in half lost momentum and fell to the ground and died out.
Even so, those who were hit by it screamed and died.
“aaahhh, so f*cking hot!”
Still, if the magic had hit correctly, it would have turned into a sea of fire about 15 meters wide.
“Is that Master?”
I lost my mind for a moment and was absorbed in the sights, but I came back to my senses and ran towards the mansion in front of me, cutting down the enemies.
Right now, I was impressed and impressed by the Auror Master’s martial arts skills, but I didn’t have time to do so.
“At least we catch one count!!!”
If one baron is worth 5,000 gold coins, the ransom of one earl is at least 30,000 gold coins.
“Long live the captain!”
As I was swinging my sword to clear a path for others to follow, numerous wizards and archers appeared in front of me and tried to stop me…
“Where are the bastards doing their trick!”
He quickly approached them and took his life before they could fire magic or arrows at him.
As soon as you get close to a wizard or archer, they turn into idiots who can’t even use the bow or magic that they are proud of, so from then on, you can push them to the ground.
“Push forward! Just look ahead and run!”
Other mercenaries and guard knights next to me were also saying similar things.
“Your Majesty is watching!”
“f*ck it, if you want to make money, run!”
“Baron Maron will reward you generously!”
With skilled troops worthy of being selected as the elite blocking us, I continued to search for the one among them who seemed particularly slow in his movements.
Those guys wearing fancy armor and giving orders are definitely bait.
“Fight to the end! Long live the Kingdom of Barcelo!”
The real thing is that they are probably looking for a way to sneak out from among these guys.
“Long live the Kingdom of Barcelo!”
Among the people shouting “Long Live the Kingdom” With their mouths, we finally found one whose body was moving further and further away from us.
“Whitebeard mercenaries, capture them all!”
I would like to say, ‘That guy over there wearing armor and pulling back is a noble!’, But if I say that out loud, even people who are not in our mercenary unit will notice.
So, I can only hope that you notice it as much as possible.
After a brief standoff, I continued to follow the obtuse guy I had found earlier with my eyes and turned in his direction.
And what’s more, he seems to be exceptionally protected…
‘It’s a lottery.’
There was no need to hide the facial expressions since there was a helmet anyway, but the voice and gestures that revealed emotions were hidden as much as possible.
There was often the sound of swords clashing nearby, and there were idiots pointing swords at people wearing fancy armor and capturing them alive…
“Now is the time.”
In this chaos, I quickly moved to where the guy I was filming was.
‘If this bastard fails, that’s the end of it.’
The guy I targeted tried his best to escape with dull movements.
“Run somewhere!”
I grabbed the guy by the back and threw him to the floor.
“Ugh!”
I couldn’t kill him like this, so I held the dagger to his neck and bit him.
“Honorable Sir, who are you?”
To those words, the guy who was caught by me replied, his tail trailing off.
“I am Fernando von Alvarez, the rightful lord of the County of Alvarez.”
…… I think I got it right.
And at this time, the Commander of the Guards, who was the most senior among the nobles here, shouted in a loud voice.
“We won!”
