172 – A Night at Sea (2)
Hiding in the bushes and waiting, Jordi heard a distant sound and closed his eyes.
Most of the people in the kingdom may not be able to understand the language, but Jordi, who had learned foreign languages since childhood to communicate with other countries as a prince, was able to understand their language to some extent.
It is not because Jordi is lazy to study that he can only understand it to a certain extent, but not completely, because of differences in speech between people caused by dialect, tone, and accent.
But, in fact, it didn’t matter if I couldn’t understand the speech. The opponents must be mercenaries or soldiers from other countries who are aiming for Jordi’s neck anyway. And listening to their voices, they already had some sense of Jordy’s whereabouts.
There is a bonfire that Jordi has lit with a lighter to eat, and there is no sign that it has moved anywhere else, and the horse is tied to a tree, so they will definitely find Jordi.
That’s why Jordi decided to kill his enemies before they found him.
‘It’s a foreign mercenary.’
Fortunately, I am not a soldier. Mercenaries are comparatively weaker than soldiers, and there are many gaps to aim for.
Jordi quietly drew out his sword.
The famous sword presented to the royal family had been used by Jordi for a long time and had not been properly maintained, so it became dull and lost its brilliance due to being covered with fat and blood, but the tip was still sharp, so there was no problem in stabbing the enemy at once.
Carefully set your posture, and the moment the mercenaries’ eyes turn to other places, they jump forward.
As the bushes shook violently, of course the mercenaries’ eyes turned to Jordi, but before that, Jordi’s sword stabbed a mercenary in the side.
“Cuck!”
While stabbing the mercenary, Jordi, unable to properly kill the momentum of the charge, rolled over and pulled out a weapon from his bosom.
During the war, Jordi used all kinds of means to bring weapons from overseas. The weapon used by the Revolutionary Army left a deep impression on me, so I wanted to acquire it no matter what. and weapons in hand.
Taang!
The pistol fires, and one of the mercenaries is shot down again.
“Oh, no!”
After defeating two of them in an instant, Jordi rushed at the last remaining mercenary, but the mercenary calmly responded to Jordi while panicked.
Without a sword and with only an unloaded pistol, Jordi couldn’t defeat a mercenary who was accustomed to gang fights no matter how wild he was.
The mercenary’s fist, which had changed shape after beating various people for a long time, swung around, and Jordi’s field of vision, which was hit by the fist, turned black in an instant.
The next time Jordy, who had lost his mind, woke up the next time, he felt that his body was being dragged somewhere.
His body is being dragged along the bumpy, rough ground, swaying here and there. It seems to be moved by making a support to prevent the skin from being rubbed on the ground, so that part can be said to be fortunate.
The next thing you hear when your hearing wakes up is the sound of humming songs and the sound of horses hooves pounding on the ground. Recognizing that it was his own horse, Jordi became disillusioned with a horse that obeyed someone else’s orders.
‘You traitor bastard. Someone like Tiara.’
Jordi, who had cursed at his lover who had suddenly disappeared during the war, opened his eyes carefully and looked around.
I tried to move my limbs, but they didn’t move because they were tied tightly.
It was hard to breathe, whether his nose was sunken or swollen from the punch.
Jordi started breathing through his mouth, but soon realized that the mercenary had beaten him even after he passed out.
I moved my tongue and carefully touched the inside of my mouth to the cheek, and I felt that the cheek had been slashed by the teeth as it had been hit by the fist. A terrible pain overwhelms Jordi.
My whole body hurts there. It wasn’t just the pain of being tied up and being dragged along by a horse. Is this the feeling that the bones are aching?
Jordi had rolled around the battlefield at the command of his father, but this was the first time he had been beaten so horribly… … .
‘No.’
The senior officers in the army beat and trampled Jordi to death, taking it as an issue that he fell asleep while taking drugs and taking a short nap during the night watch.
‘It’s not the first time.’
I think it was painful even then.
‘Wait, how the hell did this mercenary beat me?’
To make dozens of people suffer the pain they suffered in a mass lynching, Jordi gnashed his teeth at this frivolous and vulgar ‘cattle’.
How long did you travel on horseback?
A village came out in the distance, and the mercenary took him into the village after putting up a sign indicating that Jordi was a war criminal.
At first, the village guards tried to stop the mercenary from bringing something like a human corpse whose shape was hard to recognize properly, but they backed off meekly, saying they would know after seeing the mark on Jordi.
In these days, when the flames of war were raging on the grounds of that kingdom, mercenaries who brought something like a war criminal were not that rare.
The mercenary who had taken Jordi into the village found a suitable bar, where he ordered a lot of alcohol and gulped down every time a glass came out.
It is a low-alcohol drink made with inferior brewing technology and has a terrible taste, but it was like sweet honey water that wets the whole body of a mercenary who has returned from a hard battle in the battlefield.
“hahahaha!”
a drink. two cups. three cups. After drinking more and more, the moderately excited mercenary raised the atmosphere of the bar by telling his heroic story.
war, war. Everyone talks about war, but that’s the story of the kingdom.
Of course, this neighboring country also had a bad effect of shrinking supplies and various things as a cloud of war rolled around, but it was not directly involved in the war, but was in the midst of a war of aggression to the end, so the aftermath was less than that of the kingdom that waged a war directly within its territory. .
“There, I cut off the heads of as many as 10 soldiers and saved those stranded in enemy lines! You look so active, wouldn’t the commander personally congratulate me after cleaning up?”
“Oh oh.”
“Awesome stuff, bro?”
“Commander. Being the commander of a military unit is, of course, an aristocrat, right? How does it feel to see a noble up close?”
People bought the mercenary a drink in return for telling an interesting story, and the mercenary drank a lot of alcohol just by opening his mouth appropriately, soaking his throat and soul.
“Is this the war criminal?”
“yes. what did he say? He threatened those who couldn’t fight and forced them into battle. They say they forcibly set fire to people’s bodies and made them run amok with pain!”
“Have you seen such a crazy bastard!”
“You trash bastard!”
“Oops. Why didn’t you kill that bad guy and keep him alive?”
“Because you have to live to get expensive!”
The mercenary who tapped Jordi’s head grabbed Jordi’s hair and smashed it into a table to show that even such an evil war criminal would be safe on the first night, like a nervous maiden.
“Keuk!”
The forehead is torn and bleeding. Jordi, whose vision was shaken by the pain and shock of hitting his head hard, gritted his teeth and looked at the mercenary, but the mercenary grabbed Jordi’s face and pushed him away.
“look! Doesn’t that guy just get hit without saying anything?”
“her! That’s great. It sounds like a rogue boat that isn’t even afraid of God.”
At first, they were afraid of Jordi, but after seeing the mercenary’s attitude and overcoming their fear, they slowly approached Jordi and began to touch him.
“Uh huh, don’t destroy my product.”
“Okay. I want to touch it once.”
“Gulp, gulp.”
The mercenary, seeing the people who were disappointed, shoved all the alcohol in the large glass down his throat and said,
“Then what about doing this? give me decent money Then let me touch you!”
“what? money?”
“Okay. It’s still hard to make a living these days.”
“right? that’s a bit.”
“ruler! ruler! He is a demon-like man who came up from hell and burned people to fight! Hey! If you are a man, be brave and give this demon a blow!”
“No, what if I get cursed?”
“It’s to prove that he’s a man, but he has to take that kind of risk!”
After the drunken mercenary made some noise, the men who were also drunk fell for the word man and paid and began to beat or spit on Jordi.
“Oh! evil! Noah!”
They were hit in the head, kicked in the stomach, and spittle mixed with phlegm from someone had gone into their eyes and caused terrible pain.
However, Jordi, whose entire body was still tied up, could not call it resistance worthy of resistance.
All I could do was grit my teeth and stare at the people I normally looked down on as livestock.
And in the corner of the bar, a few men quietly looked at Jordi, then at the mercenary, then at Jordi again.
The men, who alternately looked at the mercenary and Jordi, muttered in a quiet voice to the din of the bar, and soon left.
And, the mercenary woke up the next morning after falling asleep drunk and passed out, and found out that someone unknown had stolen his precious Jordi.
