133 – A touch lurks on the island (2)
10 hours.
It was the time when the crew, including Urgo, entered the forest, and the time when Chester and Monia attacked them at irregular intervals.
constant raids. screams of sailors. A colleague who collapses at the same time as the silently flying arrow.
It wasn’t until the sun set and it was dark everywhere that the two raids ended, and the crew could finally relax and take a break.
However, it was not a proper break.
His stamina was fine because he was almost in place, but the problem was his mental strength and energy, which were cut off while being in danger of being attacked for 10 hours.
The existence of an invisible enemy stimulates their fear and instills a stronger sense of reality in the fantasy of the devil.
Suddenly, in the minds of the sailors, they were not dealing with a butler, but a shadowless demon with eight arms and wings, long horns and a wagging tongue.
The floating island was also turned into a hell where demons live in an island with nothing special other than floating in the sea.
This was also Chester’s goal.
While shooting a bow to physically remove the number or increase the number of wounded to increase their burden, at the same time using unrealistic physical strength to instill fear and despair with endless psychological pressure.
Sailors will feel psychological burden just by staying on this island, their physical strength and mental strength will be reduced, and a rift will form between them.
It was a burdensome number to deal with, so it would have been nice if a crack had formed, and even a mutiny on board.
If someone just kills the captain, they’ll run straight off the island.
That ship, one of the means to get out of the island, will disappear, but it is suicide for Chester and Monia, who do not have proper knowledge about ships or the sea, to drive that ship anyway.
No, you can’t go further than that. physically impossible A boat like that needs more than 100 people to assemble.
“… … Aren’t you coming now?”
At night, some of the sailors who returned to the ship to sleep looked out the window at the entrance to the dark forest, unable to sleep.
Perhaps because of the trees swaying in the wind, the entrance to the forest looks like a wriggling entrance to hell.
It was terrible.
10 hour raid. Of the 21 people, 3 were killed and more than 9 injured.
Of the nine injured, two were unable to move due to being hit in the leg, and others were hit in the arm, back, or shoulder, making it difficult to move a part of the body.
It would be too insignificant to say that it was the criminal record of killing dozens of people in a short period of time, but instead, the feeling of being eaten away little by little made the crew choke.
“We will go there tomorrow too.”
When someone spoke, the sailor who was lying awake in the distance chewed his lips.
The hammock swaying along with the waves makes your brain sway and makes you feel anxious and terrified.
All of them have lived so long on the boat that they get motion sickness on land rather than on the boat, but somehow the waves tonight have brought terrible sickness to bear.
“I don’t want to go.”
“me too.”
Tough sailors who would laugh even if they accidentally blew off a few fingers while working make such weak noises.
To that extent, Chester harassed them terribly.
“But, brother, he was really great.”
“right. How did they know the arrows were flying from far away and hit them?”
Of course, when Chester attacked, he mainly aimed at strong humans like Urgo.
However, Urgo handled all of Chester’s attacks with a two-pronged sword and returned unscathed.
“I’ve tried to lift that sword before.”
“yes. Wouldn’t it be that difficult to lift?”
“right. The box or rope that we usually carry and move must be heavier? But since I want to wield it… Wow, every joint in my body is screaming at me.”
“ha ha ha.”
“How can you wield something like that all day?”
“Because I am not human.”
The sailors tried to dispel the horrors of the island at least a little by telling such positive stories, and even those who had not slept so late began to fall asleep one by one.
By the time all the crew fell asleep except for those who had to steer the boat all night and drive it along the island… … .
“Hmm.”
Chester, who had infiltrated the ship, was looking at the warehouse inside the ship.
As part of an operation to stir up trouble among the crew, it was intended to divert their supplies.
Food is good, and rum, the water of life for sailors, is also good. When important supplies start to run out, more people will want to flee.
Of course, you can run more violently to get the supplies back.
“… … nice.”
But to Chester’s eyes, the rope in the corner caught his eye first, rather than the dried fish or rum in the box.
A sturdy rope made for use on ships. It will be much stronger than the one made by Chester or Monia.
Chester first carefully lifted the rope and slid it down. Fortunately, thanks to the proximity of the island, we were able to drop the rope right over the beach.
After lowering the rope first, Chester checked the other boxes in the storage room.
It was easy to open the box because what was piled up here was not luggage, but items to be used when needed.
There were so many boxes.
A box of dried fish. A box of rum, clothes for sailors, even a box of cannon ammunition.
‘I can’t use the cannon. Because there is Monia in the forest.’
No need to worry about cannons.
Of course, if they go to the extreme, shooting even cannons, it is clear that the people at the top will step out. They will never, never forgive a foreign enemy who destroys the island.
they are good They are good people who live with the value of ‘protecting and preserving’ even after forming their own civilization in such a remote place.
It’s good, but because it retains that goodness, it can fight fiercely to protect something.
‘Come to think of it, what will happen to the grace of the top?’
With that thought, Chester ran around the ship avoiding the crew.
While walking around, he found a sailor sleeping alone in a corner, but he did not dare to kill him and retreated.
While wandering around like that, Chester found a second storage room, where he found a box that was meticulously locked unlike the other boxes.
‘what?’
I forcibly tore off the nail blocking the box and opened it to find a dress and a small box inside.
‘Is this a dress? Did you prepare to wear Monia? … … .’
Feeling displeased, Chester took out each dress from the box.
‘What’s with this open chest? Is he showing his back? Are you kidding me?’
He thought about tearing it off, but suddenly imagining Monia wearing it, Chester grabbed some dresses.
“Hmmm.”
Then I clear my throat for a while and open the small box.
Inside the box were various ornaments and a very small square box that could fit in the palm of your hand. It wasn’t hard to imagine what might be inside the box.
earrings, bracelets, anklets, necklaces. Among all the trinkets, it wasn’t the only one.
‘ring.’
When I opened the box, there was a gorgeously crafted ring inside. This work did not show off wealth by inserting large jewels, but showed off the skill of the craftsman by delicately processing a thin ring using delicately crafted jewels as small as eye mucus.
Chester quietly collected his rings and jewelry. Unlike other things, these are hard-to-get resources on an uninhabited island, so I had no intention of leaving out anything.
‘I don’t see anything to take care of.’
Chester, wondering if there was anything else, went up to the deck.
If you are on the deck, there is a high chance that you will be noticed by roaming sailors, but you have moved unnoticed by them, hiding your body using various luggage piled up around you.
While wandering around like that, I stepped on a particularly old board.
‘this.’
Sigh.
“yes? who is there?”
One of the sailors went in the direction of the sound, but he couldn’t find anyone.
“Did I hear it wrong… .”
Chester, who had been holding on to the railing with his fingertips hanging on to it, pulled out a knife to slit his throat if he showed his face even a little further.
The sailor, standing in front of the railing and looking around, turned away without finding Chester dangling below him.
“Whoa.”
Chester sighed, gave up checking further on the deck, and walked carefully downstairs, slipping his fingers and toes into the tiny cracks in the ship’s surface.
After quietly entering the seawater, he comes up to the island and collects the luggage he secretly moved.
As they carefully moved one by one to the island’s bushes, Monia, who had been waiting nervously there, welcomed Chester.
“Chester!”
“I’m here.”
“thank god. Didn’t you hear?”
“yes.”
“What did you bring?”
“I’ll see you when I go home.”
“Yes.”
At that time, the seawater suddenly made a loud noise and created a splash.
“uh.”
Chester, who had his back turned, didn’t know, but Monia saw it clearly.
Someone falling from a boat into the sea water.
And after a while, when the thing that had fallen into the sea came up on the beach, you could tell who it was with only its vague shadow.
“It was fortunate that I was sleeping in the finals just in case. I thought the footsteps I heard for the first time ever bothered me.”
The person Chester was most wary of. A person who never approached and tried to kill without fail. but failed person.
Urgo appeared.
Urgo spoke in the language of the kingdom he had learned from Rotin, looked precisely at Chester, drew his two-pronged sword, and charged at terrifying speed.
“Me, up the tree!”
Chester and Monia tried to climb up the tree, but Urgo was faster.
Immediately after Chester climbed up the tree, Urgo kicked the ground and leaped, flying up with his huge body and brandishing a two-pronged sword.
Then, he cut off the thick branch on which Chester was sitting.
“What?!”
Chester grabbed a nearby tree branch with his hand before falling, but Urgo held onto Chester’s foot firmly even as he fell.
“Ah!”
Chester, who was caught by his feet with terrifying power, was pulled by Urgo and fell to the ground.
cooong!
A strong shock ran through his body, and Urgo swung his two-pronged sword at Chester.
“It is over.”
