226 – Breg River Surprise Battle (9)
When the eyes of Count Hansa’s elite knights turned completely on me, Lichte lifted his head high into the sky.
Even before they declared that they had killed him, some people already looked devastated.
“No, f*ck. “I can’t believe our Baron is leaving in vain like this.”
There are some who despair because of their respect and loyalty to the Baron.
“I guess we’re screwed now, looting and all?”
There were even those who gave up all their dreams and hopes because they had a premonition that they would be defeated in the war.
Losing the head of a senior Auror Expert Baron was a big blow.
Honestly, I didn’t raise my head and declare subjugation, but I can’t believe their morale has already plummeted.
I feel really sorry about this.
I feel sorry and I have to kill everyone here as quickly as possible, even if it’s only for a second.
You tried to plunder, murder, and rape other people’s families, so you have nothing to say even if you die, right?
“I, Martin von Cologne, cut off the head of Schwarz von Richte, Baron of the Hanseatic Counts the Massacre!”
At those words, several knights under Count Hansa sat down.
“I can’t believe the Baron, the strongest knight in our county, is passing away.”
“f*ck it, it’s over now.”
“What on earth are we going to do with this, damn it?”
The Baron, who is the focal point, has been defeated, and in their minds, they are mistakenly thinking that our army is a large army of over 20,000 strong.
So, of course, morale is bound to fall.
I immediately handed Lichte’s head to the rider next to him, and his head was immediately hung on our baronial flag.
Once the enemy commander’s head was hung on the flag, the men under my command also raised their swords high and began to shout for national independence.
“Baron Cologne did it!”
“Let’s go in and pick off those bastards!”
“We won!”
It’s a bit unfair to make a fuss about winning just by taking off Lichte’s head…
The important thing is that most of the soldiers currently under our command are scrappy bastards whose only job was to hold spears for the serfs.
Those people are people whose fraud goes up and down over every little thing.
What if the enemy’s expert knight, that is, the baron, is dead?
A shout like thunder echoed around me.
“Long live Baron Cologne! Long live the Baron of Cologne!”
“Baron Maurer lives now!”
“We can protect our women and children with our own hands!”
I shouted after seeing that everyone’s morale had risen.
“Defend your hometown! “Protect your family!”
The guys who come out here to fight are like mercenaries who are not confident that they will receive money or sufficient compensation even if they fight to the death.
So, it is most important to mention family and hometown as clear reasons to risk your life and fight.
Of course, even when I was in Korea, I was a person who felt disgusted just by hearing the word passion pay, so I plan on persuading Dalton to give him sufficient compensation, even if it means grabbing him by the collar…
There is no use in saying this because the serfs will not believe it until you give them money directly.
After falling back for a moment, we called out to a wizard who was following us.
“Yes, Baron!”
“Shoot the pre-determined signal into the sky! From now on, we will push them back!”
“Yes!”
The wizard shot a fireball straight into the air.
Now, once Dalton confirms that, he will begin a counterattack against Count Hansa, who has been busy crossing the river so far.
The majority of Dalton’s soldiers are serfs without proper equipment, so the number of casualties is likely to be quite large.
The people that Count Hansa brought in were also a ragtag group of people who had completely lost their stamina due to failing to cross the river for several hours. If you counterattack, you might be able to win.
“Push forward like this until the end!”
I was completely devastated while fighting with Liechte, but now the guys behind me are watching me.
Of course I should step in, right?
Furthermore, I need to use the power I have in my hands properly.
“Should I give it a try?”
Having said that, I ran straight to where Count Hansa’s knights were, without looking back.
Previously, it felt like I was driving a car by pressing the accelerator hard, but now that I have reached the Expert level, my speed is…
‘With a little bit of exaggeration, it’s at the level of a racing car?’
I think it would go about 200km per hour.
“Kill the Baron!”
After saying that, the knights aimed their swords at my neck and swung their swords.
“Die, damn it!”
But I didn’t have to block their attacks or even try to avoid them.
Because all those attacks missed me.
Strictly speaking, the speed at which I moved was overwhelmingly faster than that at which they swung their swords, so what they cut was an afterimage of me.
Is this the expert level?
It has become ridiculously strong.
I pulled out my sword and swung it with all my might, and to exaggerate it a bit, someone died every time I blinked.
A knight, a soldier who appears to be quite old and came along with the knights.
All of them were cut to pieces in an instant and died.
“uuugh.”
“f*ck you! “It’s a monster.”
“Sal, save me…”
As I was slaughtering countless enemies like a human plane, the shouts of our allies behind us were very loud.
At the same time, the enemy knights and soldiers turned their backs and started running away as I approached.
“f*ck, not with that bastard!”
Some mercenary leaders immediately ordered a retreat, as if life was more important than money.
“Retreat! Retreat! Drop your weapons! “f*ck, throw away your weapons and run away!”
I did not swing my sword at those who were throwing away their weapons.
Because those who deserted like this would never join Count Hansa in the future, so they would never encounter swords in the future.
“If he runs away, let him go!”
And at that moment, we saw enemies coming towards us from the front.
If he had been running triumphantly holding a spear, I would have been trembling, but the reality was quite different.
“We are surrounded!”
The soldiers were running with weapons, but they were completely ragtag.
Of course, the nobles and knights under their command were in confusion, so they couldn’t do anything and just wander around in a daze.
In this situation, if we exaggerate a bit, I think we would win even if they had 10,000 people and we had only 100 people.
“Calm down! Calm down!”
People like knights and barons cut down the soldiers.
There was no other answer, and he had to somehow raise the morale of his soldiers.
“If you don’t want to die, fight!”
If you fight an enemy and die 100% of the time, but run away and die 98% of the time, what choice would you make if you were me?
Of course, the soldiers chose to throw away their weapons and armor and run away.
“Help me!”
“f*ck, we’re not doing this because we want to!”
“I’m sorry, f*ck!”
If we had more troops, we would have killed all of those thieves who came to plunder the territory.
I have some free time now, so I should save him.
Anyway, I took up my sword and slaughtered endlessly those who showed even the slightest sign of resistance.
We slaughtered them like that for an hour, two hours… No, until the sun went down, and before we knew it, we could see the riverside.
There were numerous corpses and rafts piled up all over the river.
The groans of those who had not yet died were heard.
“Kill me, kill me.”
From Noble mtl dot com
Count Hansa had not yet escaped, and his flag was still standing intact.
However, almost all of the soldiers who could fight properly were killed by our hands.
In addition, the mercenaries who made up the majority of the troops had already scattered and disappeared into the forest in an instant, and the serfs had also deserted from the enemy war along with them.
Those who became the last bastion, including Count Hansa, could only resist by pointing their weapons.
“Ten, what the f*ck…”
“Does this make sense?”
“……”
And then I saw Baron Maurer’s conscripts running from the other side of the river.
As soon as they saw us, they shouted loudly.
“Baron Cologne’s reinforcements have arrived!”
“Now I live!”
“Hurrah!”
As everyone shouted, some of the people around Count Hansa sat down in their seats.
I think I decided there was absolutely no hope.
“f*ck, this is ridiculous…”
Just as I was about to charge towards the desperate guys, this time Dalton came forward wearing armor covered in blood.
“We won!”
At those words, everyone shouted hurray, and I decided to come up with a plan to take over the Hansa County.
Well, there is nothing special, all I have to do is save Count Hanja.
“Count Hansa, just surrender now! “You may not know it, but the lives of your remaining vassals and soldiers must be saved!”
At those words, Count Hansa and the knights under him threw their swords.
With a clanging sound, they raised their hands and declared surrender.
Count Hansa also carefully walked towards Dalton and handed him the sword he was holding.
Surrender was officially declared.
“I will surrender.”
Dalton took his sword and raised it high in the sky.
“We won!”
