197 – Warrior of the Sun (3)
After arriving at the village early and gathering thoughts to sleep comfortably, the party urged their wide feet to run without rest at night.
The wide feet that Urgo uses are uniquely strong, so there was no problem even if they were driven excessively.
“Ugh, it’s cold.”
However, it was not easy to run fast through the freezing desert on a cold night. All three wrapped themselves in cloth and moved while enduring the cold.
“Are Rex and Ant okay?”
“I’m fine!”
“They have hair.”
“Ah, I envy you. sniff.”
Monia sniffed, and Chester looked ahead as he hugged her a little tighter.
“Did the village move while we were at the pyramid?”
“Well… Then the village would have left a mark.”
“mark?”
“If we need to move a village while someone has left the village for a while, and when we stop by the desert later from the upper ranks, we will put a warrior who knows the location of the new village in the place where the original village was so that we can quickly find our location.”
“Hoo.”
Urgo stopped talking to Chester when he noticed something caught on the tip of the stick he had left under the sand, so he quickly snatched it up.
A lizard the size of an adult man’s forearm was caught on a stick with a noose at the end.
“Do you want to eat?”
“Can I eat it? You can’t even be stabbed by the heat.”
“There is no problem eating this raw.”
“yes? believe and eat If there is a problem, take responsibility.”
“Whoops. don’t let that happen.”
After traveling to all kinds of places, Urgo, who is familiar with the ‘culture of eating living things raw’, cut off the lizard’s tail and put the lizard’s raw meat in his mouth and chewed it.
On the other hand, Chester and Monia, who are aware that eating living things raw is dangerous enough to risk their lives, hesitated a lot.
At least the two of them ate ‘living bugs’ as they were, and Chester could eat at least small creatures raw if he was really in a hurry.
Even on the floating island, on the first day I just landed on the island, I was so hungry and didn’t have the strength to move that I ate a small snake every day.
However, that was to find and eat in an extreme situation where there was nothing to eat, not to find and eat in the current situation.
“… … what to do?”
“I-I don’t know. Chester said he would eat it, so try it first!”
“Mmm.”
Chester, who had said he would eat without thinking about it, hesitated when he saw the red-glossing lizard tail meat in front of his eyes.
“… … Ugh!”
“Chester?! Is it poison?!”
When Monia, surprised, jumped up and shook her body, Chester calmed her down saying that was not the case.
“Is this the feeling of chewing raw meat…? … I was surprised that it was chewier than I thought.”
“This lizard’s tail is so sticky that it tastes like chewing. If you stick it somewhere, it won’t come off in an hour?”
“Yeah, not bad. It’s not as bad as you think. When you say delicacy, is it delicacy? It’s not to my liking.”
“I don’t like Chester… .”
Chester, who used to distinguish food by whether he could eat it or not, without attaching any special impressions to food, to the point where he could say whether he liked it or not?! Monia looked at the lizard meat in her hand with a shocked face.
Then, when I saw Urgo, Rex, and Ant enjoying their food, I closed my eyes and put them in my mouth.
“Ah, delicious.”
In the end, Chester was the only one who hated raw meat.
“Well, let’s grill meat with Anubis.”
“Isn’t it a waste to use it for something like that?”
“Hey, Chester. That’s not it.”
“The tools are meant to be used!”
“Is the firepower adjustable?”
“no? You can try it now. Where do you press to adjust the firepower?”
While running through the desert like that, the village finally came into view.
“Oh, fortunately it doesn’t seem to have changed location.”
“Yeah. By the way… The atmosphere is a bit strange.”
At first, the three people laughed at the village, but soon saw people huddled on one side of the village and frowned in wonder.
“Isn’t it time to go to bed now?”
Urgo nodded when Chester checked the time with the moon’s tilt and asked.
“Rather than that, the doubles are different. It looks like it’s from another town.”
It was dark, so I didn’t notice it well at first, but as I got closer, I noticed the situation.
The corpses lying around, surrounded by bleeding warriors informed the situation.
“… … .”
After grasping the situation, Chester, who was observing Urgo’s silence, saw the village getting closer and said,
“I draw attention.”
While saying that, Chester raised Anubis.
“When I draw your attention, Urgo and you strike right next to me and give orders to the warriors, okay?”
“ah. right. I get it.”
Urgo, who was thinking about how to slaughter at once, nodded his head, keeping his cool as much as possible.
“Monia, I’ll give you a crossbow. shoot.”
“okay.”
When Chester handed over the crossbow, Monia asked Rex to reload the crossbow and raised the bow.
In the Pyramid, it doesn’t work on Anubis anyway, so after shooting a few times, the bow that she hasn’t even touched is wrapped around Monia’s hand.
“Where do desert guys worship the sun so much?”
Although Urgo teased him about being a warrior of the sun, Chester muttered to himself the desert language he had learned from Monia, thinking it wasn’t bad this time.
“Um, um, oh. Well. Monia, will you listen to me for a second?”
“I’ll listen as much as you like.”
“… … how is it? Is this pronunciation correct?”
“Curl the ends slightly while stretching the middle in the sun, and… … .”
After receiving Monia’s pronunciation correction as an attribute, Chester jumped off the lizard and started moving alone, signaling Urgo and Monia to move separately.
“Oh, it wasn’t all over there.”
Some surrounded and pressured the scorpion warriors under the sand, while others rummaged through the village and gathered supplies.
“Should I die first?”
Thinking that Anubis was a bit conspicuous, Chester wrapped Anubis in a cloth to hide it, then took out a knife.
Shortly thereafter, Chester, secretly hiding inside the village, began killing the warriors one by one, just as wise camel warriors did.
I approached the warrior who was urinating from one side, and after closing his mouth, I stabbed his throat and heart, killing him instantly. The corpse kicks up the sand, covers it roughly, and moves on to the next one.
Chester, approaching the warriors who were eating on one side, jumped at him and killed one of them.
“who… !”
The two warriors who were dining together tried to react, but Chester moved his arm faster than that and decapitated them both.
“Ugh!”
“Keep!”
A commotion ensues.
Chester thrust his knife into the neck of one of the fighters, who had a shallow cut in the neck, then with a violent twist pulled it open, slicing open the wound and ripping open the inside of his neck, then clamped his hand tightly in the mouth of the other, then turned and stepped back to grab his head.
And by combining Chester’s strong grip with the fighting skills he learned while living with the scorpion warriors under the sand, he quickly and simply breaks a person’s neck.
After roughly tearing down a nearby tent to cover the bodies of the three killed, Chester heard the commotion and quickly lowered himself when he saw a man running.
Hearing the sound, the warrior who came to check the situation saw Chester lying flat on the floor as a corpse and passed by.
After the warrior passed, Chester grabbed him by the ankles and pulled him over, stabbing him to death with a knife at the same time.
The man, who had been caught by his ankles while still alive, had already turned into a pitiful corpse when he fell to the ground.
‘How many are left?’
Chester, who was moving while remembering the location of the warriors he looked at earlier, moved his knife in surprise when a warrior suddenly appeared in front of him as soon as he turned around the tent.
However, before Chester could stab his knife all the way through, an arrow pierced the warrior’s head, and the warrior fell down.
When Chester turned his head, Monia, who was far away, was waving her hand saying that she did it.
Chester, who shook his hand, quickly updated the map in his head and moved when Monia and Rex sent a hand signal together to inform them of the location of the warriors.
With the power of Monia’s sniping and real-time update of the warriors’ location, Chester quickly killed all the wise camel warriors who hadn’t surrounded the scorpion warriors under the sand.
‘How many did you kill?’
I didn’t count the number at the point of more than 10 people.
Chester roughly wiped his blood-stained face to prevent blood from getting into his eyes, then untied the cloth covering Anubis.
A beautiful golden and blue decorated sword staff appears.
Carrying Anubis, Chester climbed onto the poles of a nearby tent and leaped from there to the vicinity of the gathering of the warriors.
The wise camel warriors did not notice, but the scorpion warriors under the sand noticed Chester’s movements.
However, in the dark night, I only saw something golden moving, but I couldn’t figure out the situation because I couldn’t see exactly what was moving.
Then, moments later, Chester climbed onto the nearest tent pole and activated one of Anubis’ functions.
Shortly after Chester pressed a button, Anubis exploded with light, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the world.
“Hear up, daring warriors who have lost honor and faith! I, a warrior who serves the will of the sun, has arrived! Today I will punish your sinful, dark and cold blood!”
Immediately after Chester shouted so loudly, all the warriors, startled by the sudden burst of light, recoiled involuntarily.
At that moment, Urgo drew his ax and charged like an angry boar.
