270 – Turning one’s back (8)
When I jumped into the front lines, the SS under Otto also came to their senses a little.
“There is the traitorous Baron Cologne! “Kill that bastard first before the others!”
“Don’t let the traitor live!”
“Melee! It’s a melee! “Each centurion commander, give up maintaining a square and enter into a melee!”
If it were a normal mercenary unit, if they were suddenly ambushed like this, they would have been unable to come to their senses for a while and would have made a fuss to gather together while ordering a phalanx.
Humans are weak to sudden blows to the back of the head, so if they are hit hard once, they become dumbfounded for a while and are unable to make correct decisions, and act according to the principles that are deeply engraved in their bones.
Because it is a phalanx containing the principle that if we come together, we will survive.
However, the enemy’s good judgment is not very good for me.
‘Damn it, the battle is going to be difficult.’
But what can I do? First of all, I have to fight hard to the death and capture Otto.
“Throw away the pole! If there is a melee, it is nothing but a useless stick! Are you planning on spearing in the air?”
If the enemy and allies are fighting in square formation, it is advantageous to fight from a distance with a long polearm.
However, in a situation where the distance between me and the enemy is only about an arm’s length, where would I use a polearm longer than 3 to 4 meters?
This is a crazy thing that should never be attempted unless you are an absolute expert who can kill an enemy with a spear.
My orders were immediately conveyed to all units.
“Throw away the pole! “Throw away your long spear and take out your mace or sword!”
Some foul-mouthed bastards spoke while breaking the enemy’s head directly with a mace.
“It’s dog fight time, you motherf*ckers!”
He’s so hot that you’ll feel like he’ll burn you just by looking at him. This is a manly style commonly seen in this world.
Well, it may not be the case at other times, but when you get into a melee, it’s best to fight like this.
As I looked around to check the situation, I saw knights from the enemy camp running toward me.
It looks like a knight of quite high rank with shiny armor…
I don’t know if he will be a match for me.
Anyway, when several high-ranking people arrived, the soldiers quickly gave up their seats.
And like Otto’s knight who likes ostentation, they were showing off all sorts of things.
“Your Majesty’s senior knight, Martin Lern of the Lern family, will deal with you!”
“I, Jecht, will cut off your head and take over that territory!”
“Give me your wife!”
I understand that he wants to cut off my head and take control of the territory.
The reason we fight and risk our lives is to enjoy a larger territory and more wealth and fame.
‘No matter what, war is ultimately a kind of struggle for survival.’
Still, there are things that cannot be said. Talking about giving up someone else’s wife is way over the line, damn it.
Even if you rip out his intestines and use his intestines to jump rope, it won’t be enough.
The guy who told me to give up my wives, including Karin, went one step further and provoked me this time.
“Your girls’ breasts look a little big, but this body will kill you and touch you to its heart’s content, so don’t worry!”
“Ha?”
“Aren’t these women a waste of money for a lowly mercenary captain? So, I, Senior Engineer Nathan Torrera, will personally write it correctly!”
Seeing that he wants to receive attention from so many people, that bastard should have been born in Korea in the 21st century rather than in this world.
If he had done that, he would have immediately become known as a s*x offender and his life would have ended immediately.
At the same time, three knights ran toward me with swords in hand.
The guys who took up positions on the front, left, and right formed a detailed formation and aimed at different places.
The areas targeted are the neck, the gap between the waist, and the back of the knees, which are difficult to defend at the same time.
I think they use this tactic because their level is lower than mine… It’s quite effective.
They say things like that, but looking at the way they move in a very meticulous and organized way, it seems like the head is not just a simple decoration.
They have unexpected abilities, so we should kill them quickly to prevent them from using their deadly abilities again.
“Get down, Baron Cologne!”
Their swords came towards my body.
The level of connection is quite high, so even if you try to avoid it, there is no way to avoid it.
In this case, you should break the enemy’s attack rather than trying to block it in vain.
Because I have one body, and I can only block one attack at a time.
“You bastards, go away!”
I grabbed the arm of the one who came closest among the three and swung it like a sword.
Of course, the one being wielded screamed loudly.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Ugh! Help me!”
When he captured one knight and used it as a weapon to strike down the others, there was a loud crashing sound.
Because they were unexpectedly attacked by the ‘Knight of Wu’, instead of attacking me, they chased me away like dogs.
The knight I had just swung seemed to have all his bones broken, so he could only groan and wriggle, unable to move properly and falling limp.
The other two pointed at me and spoke in frightened voices.
“You monster bastard. “Monster bastard.”
“You swing the knight like a wooden stick!”
Isn’t it cowardly to grab a knight with one arm and swing him around, and isn’t it cowardly to have several of them attack me?
I don’t know what kind of novel nonsense this is.
It would be more convincing to say that Lucia has small breasts.
“Isn’t it cowardly for several people to attack one person?”
Then I dealt with the fearful guys one by one.
Because I was a knight, I tried to kill everyone as cleanly as possible…
“Sir Nathan Torare, I give you special treatment.”
After saying that, I stabbed Nathan in various parts of his body.
“Better kill me, ugh!”
However, because he was stabbed in so many places that it was not fatal, he was unable to die right away.
However, since the blood continues to come out, he will die like this while suffering tremendous pain for several hours.
If he is in that condition, even if he is rescued quickly and lucky enough to receive treatment, he will not be able to survive.
“You are a scumbag who tried to steal someone else’s wife. It was a worthy treat. Rest in peace, you damn bastard.”
After killing all these dirty knights, I immediately concentrated on killing other soldiers.
In normal times, they would have lifted their heads and boasted to the neighborhood that they killed the knight, but now it was a waste of time to even do that.
And bragging will be enough after capturing Otto and Margrave Estelle.
“Every minute is urgent! “Everyone, hurry up!”
I said that and looked around inside the enemy lines.
To be exact, I was looking for the place where Otto’s flag was raised.
A small-sized Otto might have already jumped out of the way, but in any case, the most reliable way to determine his location right now was Otto’s flag.
In the meantime, the soldier next to me noticed and spoke kindly.
“You can see Prince Otto’s flag on the left!”
When I looked that way, Prince Otto’s flag caught my eye.
Now that things are like this, rather than leisurely fighting elites like the SS and reducing the enemy forces one by one…
Wouldn’t it be better to capture Otto as quickly as possible, even for a second?
“Everyone pay attention!! You don’t need anything else, you damn Otto! We have to capture Otto! Then we will win this war!”
When I shouted, other soldiers responded.
“Captivate Otto!”
“Let’s change the eight characters!”
“Long live Baron Cologne!”
“aaah!”
Then the soldiers, including me, continued to fight even more fiercely and passionately.
When the spear and sword passed around my neck and cut through my armor, surprisingly, I didn’t feel any chills or tension down my spine.
Whenever I stand on the battlefield, I always fight without knowing when, where, or how I will be defeated, and I have come close to death several times…
Because almost dying was as natural to me as breathing.
But the tension of the enemy approaching drove me crazy.
“f*ck, f*ck…”
And I kept hearing these sounds around where I was fighting.
“Reinforcements will arrive soon! “Hold on until then!”
There is no way real reinforcements have arrived.
If that were the case, they would have deliberately hid the fact that support would come to attack me at a time when I least expected it.
But now, I am shaken by this obvious deception.
‘f*ck, this shouldn’t be happening…’
When I felt the turmoil in my heart and was trying to control it, I saw the image of Otto.
Just a little more, just a little more, and you can catch him…
First of all, I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that Otto hadn’t run away yet.
Now, as long as we capture Otto like this, Maria will definitely guarantee the position of our family, the Barons of Cologne.
If you fail, it will be difficult to survive in the future, but what can you do?
“If you succeed, that’s it.”
