280 – Skirmish (4)
As the wizards and archers poured out crossfire from the left and right, the enemy soldiers had no idea how to respond.
Strictly speaking, each soldier instinctively tried to survive in this situation.
Because each person’s actions were different, they ended up holding back other soldiers and hindering everyone.
The senior soldiers and commanders tried to tell the soldiers what their current condition was in order to reassure them a little.
“f*ck you, you bastard! “I’m wearing armor, so even if I get hit by an arrow, I won’t die!”
However, it was not an ordinary battle, and the men who were surprised by a large army in a battle that they thought they had won until just now naturally did not come to their senses.
Well, if the country is on the verge of winning and suddenly an ally gets stabbed in the back, you can’t help but be embarrassed.
‘Humans are animals that panic when they see a doll popping out of a surprise box.’
The struggling guys tried to find a way to survive by using their own folk remedies, regardless of whether orders were given or not.

Some idiots thought they could avoid magic and arrows by lying down under the horse they were riding.
They immediately went under the horse and hid themselves.
“You can survive if you lie down under the horse!”
The size of the horse they were riding was not as large as the horses weighing more than 0.5 Tons on Earth in the 21st century, but it was large enough to cover a person.
So, it was possible to block arrows and magic to some extent.
But the horses were also hit by arrows and magic and could not overcome the pain.
The horses raised their front feet and hit their owners on the ground or ran wild.
“Hee hee hee~!”
The soldiers who were trampled by the horses’ hooves screamed and turned to mush and died.
The lucky few were killed in one hit by a horse’s hoof hitting their heads, while the unlucky ones had their arms, legs, and torsos stepped on, turning them into living corpses.
The blood of those trampled by horses soaked the soil of the forest and dyed the trees bright red.
Clearly as if it had been dyed.
“aaah!”
“I’d rather kill you!”
“My arm, my arm! “My hand!”
So, even while everyone was confused, they instinctively struggled to find a way to survive.
Among those who were buried alive, a person with an injured arm died while walking with his injured arm, and a person who could not walk due to an injured leg crawled around while bleeding.
“Ugh, help me.”
Some of them struggled to survive even though their internal organs were already protruding and hanging out.
Even though it seems like there is no answer due to being trampled by a horse and arrows and magic raining down from left and right.
‘Human survival instinct is truly amazing.’
This is why war is so terrible.
But in this hell where I will die if you don’t kill me, I want to live and win.
Wouldn’t it be possible to at least touch Karin’s heart and say that it was a good thing she was alive and enjoy life only if she returns alive?
I live and you all have to die here.
With determination, I pulled out the sword from my waist, stuck it in the ground, and looked straight ahead.
I circulated the aura throughout my body and killed everyone in front of me, determined to ensure that my allies and I would survive.
“Cast out all the arrows you have! Keep shooting until you run out of arrows! Wizards, don’t worry about magic exhaustion! This battle is the last anyway! Infantrymen, pick up rocks and throw them!”
As I urged the attack, the magic and arrows fired by our troops were fired more densely towards the army led by the guy named Rhineland.
The enemy camp became even more chaotic, and more and more enemies fell to their deaths.
As the dead bodies of people and horses piled up like fallen leaves, even soldiers who were not seriously injured were seen urinating.
“Ugh, help me!”
The victory was tilted in our favor, but we could not let down our guard.
‘Even a cat is cornered…’
I tightened my grip on the sword in my hand and became even more nervous.
‘The moment you relax, you lose, until you achieve complete victory…’
“Viscount! “The enemy commander is crazy!”
When he heard those words, he turned his head and saw Rhineland attempting to charge with still intact soldiers on horses.
It’s not like there are knights fighting on horseback like in the Middle Ages, and it’s just a matter of fighting with horses…
No matter how strong the knights, including me, are by using aurors, there is a limit.
If dozens of those damn 500kg chunks of meat collide, the formation could be broken.
The soldiers on horseback ran towards me while swearing.
“aaah! f*ck!!!”
As it was a different world where mounted martial arts fighting on horseback had not been developed, horseback infantrymen were good at charging on horseback… But they were not good at swinging weapons properly.
The mace, sword, and hammer they were all holding only cut through the air…
“Those heavy horses are the most sh*tty.”
I shouted as I stood in the vanguard with my sword drawn.
“I will stand at the forefront myself! “Knights, follow me and use aurors to stop the horses!”
I didn’t look back, but I could feel the knights forming a hasty formation.
I unleashed as much aura as I could, and before I knew it, flames were blooming from my body and sword.
“I, Viscount Cologne, will deal with you!”
The soldier who was riding a horse and charged at me like a mad cow did not respond to my words.
“aaah! “Please die!”
How scared must you be that you are begging for death?
We need to make it easier for them quickly, even for a day, or even for 0.1 Seconds.
I swung a sword wrapped in flames and cut down a horse and a man with the same sword.
This is a feat only possible in a fantasy world. I was surprised when I did it, but…
‘They said they only brought horseback infantry, but why are there so many horses?’
The soldiers under the Rhineland rushed towards me like crazy, like horse-racing bastards.
f*ck, those guys aren’t even hyenas aiming for my head. Why are they rushing at me so tenaciously?
“aaah!”
“Kill it!!”
“Viscount Cologne, you bastard without a mother or father!!”
Equestrian infantrymen on horses came running at a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour, crashing into me and the knights, and tried their best to clear a path.
“Are you going to let me pierce it?”
I stopped the horses and people running to my right, left, and front by cutting them down with one sword.
The horse where my sword passed became a headless horse and fell on the spot, and the person’s waist was separated into upper and lower parts, bleeding and dying in pain.
“Monster! Monster! “Ugh!”
Still, their suffering did not last long.
Because arrows and magic flew in from the side, helping them die more quickly, or they were trampled by a horse’s hoof and turned into dough, killing them instantly.
When I was running wild like that, I was confused about how much I was cutting down horses and people.
‘Shooooong’
The signal that all arrows had run out was fired into the sky and the sound rang out.
I don’t know exactly how many enemy soldiers there are because the road is narrow, but seeing as their momentum has completely died, even a small number of them would be enough to win a close combat.
“Now is the time, hit!”
When the order to strike was given, the soldiers hiding among the trees came rushing out.
“Kill!”
“Long live the Viscount!”
“Don’t leave a single person alive!”
As the soldiers popped out from unexpected places, like moles living underground popping out their heads, the enemy’s gaze and attention were scattered everywhere.
In other words, the soldiers who were already weakened by being beaten so hard became even weaker.
‘Stupid bastards.’
“If you surrender, you will be saved! “Or die!”
The soldiers under the Rhineland heard me urging them to surrender and some began to throw down their weapons.
“Ugh, sh*t! “Please save me!”
Those who expressed no will to fight immediately fell to their seats.
Because we were an army with good morals, we had no choice but to step on those who were prone, but we did not kill them for no reason.
Some people think that killing those who don’t have the will to fight when the battle is busy is a waste of time, and the human mind also comes into play to some extent.
In response, the knights under Rhineland drew their swords and cut down their soldiers who had thrown away their weapons.
“Don’t be scared! “We are not defeated yet!”
Anyone can see that it was a complete defeat, but I don’t know what kind of nonsense they are talking about.
And of course the enemy soldiers did not listen to those words.
The soldiers under my command surrounded them with weapons.
“Now is the time, screw it!!”
Then everyone took up their weapons, formed a group, surrounded each knight, and pressured them to death.
When the soldiers surrendered and the knights were being pushed out in numbers by several soldiers and dying.
I approached Rhineland, put the sword to his neck, and said:
“To surrender. Then, I will guarantee you at least a minimum of honor.”
Rhineland heard those words and laid down his weapon.
With this, the provocation to harass Matthias was completed, and it was also successful in defeating the chase team he sent and stepping on his nose.
It would be like paying back 1/100 million for Matthias almost killing me.
