38. attack
“By any chance, which guild do you belong to?”
The apprentice knight and soldier looked at Doyun.
Doyoon pondered for a moment. Because of their hasty departure, they did not receive the guild’s seal to prove their identity. You will definitely be treated as an impersonator.
At worst, they could be suspected of being spies through their foreknowledge of the raid.
Let’s borrow Heineken’s family name instead. The moment Doyoon thought so and opened his mouth.
“A new telegram has arrived!”
A soldier ran this way.
“A total of eighteen enemies approaching! They say the follow-up unit is yet to be seen!”
“…really eighteen?”
The original soldier and apprentice knight looked at Doyun with surprised eyes.
“…how did you know about that…”
no, wait. The apprentice knight stopped talking.
‘…You’re only eighteen?’
If you repulse that thing, isn’t it all your own balls in the field?
The calculator started running in his head at high speed.
‘It’s an opportunity.’
Perhaps the 18 were not the main unit, but the reconnaissance team. If so, it is clear that he will only grasp the situation on this side and withdraw immediately. So you can’t hit the ball.
he finished his calculations.
“Open the gates, prepare for hand-to-hand combat! Repel the enemies!”
Orders were given, the gates were opened, and soldiers for hand-to-hand combat were deployed outside the walls.
Excluding the archers and magicians on the wall, there were a total of four hundred infantry. And the cavalry for the chase came out as many as ten.
A bit too much troops to catch 18 enemy soldiers. It was a deployment that showed the commander’s strong will to annihilate them no matter what.
“After reconnaissance, do not miss the retreating enemy and pursue it, and make sure to defeat it!”
To the apprentice knight, Doyoon’s identity was already a back burner. He screamed with excitement at the thought of establishing a major that was completely unexpected.
Doyoon watched silently. If it’s Satan’s army, a defensive battle is crazy. They avoid all attacks from above, and will climb right up the wall.
Even if the sacrifice of troops followed, they had to stop them through hand-to-hand combat.
“…”
“…”
A quiet confrontation ensued. Skyscrapers looked through the forest through telescopes, and soldiers glared through the dark trees with their weapons drawn.
After about 3 minutes passed like that.
“You are here.”
“Yes?”
Doyoon’s voice broke the silence.
“Uh, where are you? How long will it arrive!? This, one minute!?”
“Already arrived.”
“Yes!?”
“Look at the forest ahead.”
He stared at the sticky darkness between the white trees.
But nothing. It was just a quiet, dark forest.
“No matter how you look at it…”
Wedge-!
Kwajik!
A stone thrown by Doyoon became lodged in a tree.
The apprentice knight and the soldiers who were watching the front were startled, and their bodies rattled.
“Ah, you’re surprised…!”
He wiped away his surprised chest, but on the other hand, he felt a sense of wonder.
That white tree in the Devil’s Nest is a hard species that can only be damaged by hitting it dozens of times with an axe, so how did you put the stones in it?
“Look.”
Doyoon clicked his chin.
Then, amber light sources twinkled between the dark shadows of the demonic realm.
There were 36 in all.
“Uh, huh?”
The apprentice knight flinched in surprise. No, when did you come?
he shuddered. Strangely, looking at those eyes, it was as if my reason was consumed by fear.
He was overwhelmed by the force of a real demon he was facing for the first time in his life.
“Kik. Kiruk”
“Kiruk, kkeb, kireuk.”
After a while, they walked out into the sunlight, making a sound like scratching a window.
small body. It looks like a goblin with lots of muscles. Tendons and veins protruding above the skin. Fingers developed pointy by themselves, without nails.
A mouth that was torn down to the bottom of the ear and smiled unpleasantly. Sharp and dense teeth like a great white shark. And no pupils, just ghastly amber eyes.
“Kikki, kek.”
A small demon that lives at the bottom of hell, feeding on the remains of the souls of the dead.
It was an imp, the army of Satan, the commander of the Demon King’s army.
“Uh, uh, ah…”
“This fuck… fuck…!”
The soldiers in the confrontation trembled in fear. The spirit of the imps was strong, but the energy of the curse emanating from their bodies was gnawing away at the spirits of the soldiers.
And, it was the same for the apprentice knight who was the highest commanding officer in the current situation.
“That, that, that, what…”
The desire for a major had already completely disappeared from within him. His mind was filled with only one thought of wanting to live.
Thirty-six eyes looking at them, and a torn mouth that licked their lips and giggled. They did not hide their intention to trample, play with, and kill them brutally.
It was a mischievous atmosphere like a bad boy, like a hunter with his prey in front of him.
In the end, the horses of the cavalry could not withstand this momentum.
“Hee hee hee!”
“Ah, ah!”
At the same time as the horseman fell off the horse, the playtime of the bad boys began.
“Kirleek!”
“Kiruk, Kiruk!”
The beginning was the front line, the shield soldiers.
They didn’t even give the soldiers a chance to be surprised, and reached right in front of the display with a single leap.
Then, he grabbed the top of the long tower shield and playfully jumped over it like jumping over a fence.
Kwajik!
Kwadeuk, Kkwajik-
One landed on the shield soldier’s head and pierced his skull with claws, while another opened his torn mouth abnormally wide and chewed up the head in one bite.
The thin and sharp tail pierced the ear hole of the shield soldier next to him. Fingers like hooks tore off the throats of the shield soldiers on either side.
It was something that happened in a short moment that no one could react to.
Like that, half of the shield soldiers at the front of the display lay down without even screaming.
“Uh, uh, ah…”
“aa!!”
“aa!!”
Destructive sounds and screams ripped through the air, and a concert of terror began.
Even though they could come straight through the gates, they just slaughtered the foot soldiers. No, I played with it.
Blood and flesh splattered all over the dirt floor and walls. The soldiers were no match for the imps.
The soldiers on the wall trembled like aspen trees. Some sat down and some peed. They could not respond to the pleas for help that came from beneath their feet.

Just atop the relatively high walls, hoping that this place is safe, and flinching at the horror movie in front of them.
It was a terribly brutal horror movie in that the main characters of the horror movie were my colleagues, and I could never stop watching it.
Doyoon looked at such a scene calmly and analyzed the situation.
‘…It has become stronger than the imp army in the previous life. Besides, it’s much less affected by the Holy Stone.’
Although the Imp Corps were strong, they were not at the level of occupying a large city within the Holy Stone Barrier with only 18 numbers. If that was possible, it would be a hero and a nabal, and the union would have been destroyed in the previous life. Even if you are a warrior, you only have one body.
‘The energy of Satan possessed by them has become stronger than before.’
In other words, it means that Satan’s authority has become stronger. Apparently, it was because of this that he became more free from the influence of the Holy Stone.
‘Something… a big change happened to them.’
I don’t know what it is, but due to some change that is different from the previous life, the Demon King’s army has become very strong. That was certain.
Doyun continued to watch the imps.
There was also a guy who accidentally got four spears stuck in his head. But the guy didn’t die. After lying on the floor for a while, wriggling, within seconds, he pushed the spear out of his head and immediately regenerated it. It was a level of vitality beyond common sense.
“Stand, stand, stand, gate! Close the castle gate!”
The apprentice knight shouted in an angry voice. Then, the soldiers on the wall, who were trembling and unable to draw their bowstrings, closed the gate at a very surprising speed.
thud!
The eyes of the foot soldiers all turned backward at the great vibration of the door closing.
Some of the foot soldiers scraped their claws at the closed gates.
“Sah, save me! Help me!!”
“open it! Fuck you guys, it’s hot! aa!!”
And they soon became a handful of red paint painted on the wall.
Doyoon, who was watching this, calmly opened his mouth.
“Soon they will climb up the walls. Prepare for battle.”
The apprentice knight looked at Doyun with a white face. His eyes looking at this hell map were not at all different from the eyes he had seen and talked with himself until now.
So it was creepy. How can a person be so indifferent to this sight of the same person dying? It was like a worn-out doll.
he cried out in anguish.
“J-don’t fuck with me, mercenary bastard! How to deal with those monsters! you, you! so are you! okay! I, I fucking don’t want to die!”
He uttered strange noises and had seizures, as if he had infantile regression.
Doyoon clicked his tongue. It seems that reason has been completely consumed by their momentum and curses.
At that time, in Do-yoon’s eyes, the main sword entered the apprentice knight’s waist.
“…That sword. Can you withstand the sword?”
“What, what?”
Doyoon did not listen to the answer and took the sword away. Anyway, this little guy is not even in a fighting state.
he inspected the sword.
‘…No.’
I can’t help it. I have no choice but to write this as soon as possible.
Thinking so, Do-yoon was about to jump down the wall.
“Do you need a sword that can withstand the sword?”
A knight walked towards Doyoon.
“Gee, gee, knight! Help me!”
The apprentice knight clung to him by the legs. Apparently, he seems to be the real commander of this city.
“…That’s right.”
When Doyoon answered, he released the sword from his back and handed it to him. Another sword was already strapped to his waist.
“It’s a secondary sword, so it’s not very cool, but it’s better than nothing.”
“thank you.”
Taking over the sword, Doyoon looked into the knight’s eyes.
He already trusted Doyoon. It means that he is capable enough to notice the level of Doyoon.
“Oh, no, sir! If you hand over the sword to the mercenary Nabraeng! The knight! Me, what am I doing! no! no!”
“…My treasured sword is separate, so shut up. Right now, even a single troop is a precious emergency. Doesn’t the apostle say he will help you?”
“no! no! Not just the sword! To a mercenary like that…!”
“…”
The words didn’t work at all. Only belatedly, he noticed that the apprentice knight’s condition was not normal.
“…I apologize for the rudeness. sorry. And, please, please support me. It may be difficult, but… Please stop the ones I spilled from climbing the walls.”
“no.”
Doyoon laid the sword in front of his eyes as if aiming a gun, examining the blade. It was very useful. He replied without even looking at the article.
“Stay here. I will fight alone.”
“Yes?”
“Wouldn’t it be a great loss to the Union if someone like you died?”
It was pretty good, but even if it was there now, it was meaningless power. He’ll probably get involved in that melee and kill a couple of imps before dying surrounded by a bunch of them.
Doyoon spread his palms. OK. A black portal the size of a fist opened above it, and a small golden orb fell down.
Seeing this, the knight and apprentice knight widened their eyes.
“uh…? Wizard…?”
“Space magic…! Are you an Arch Mage?”
Doyoon did not answer and threw a marble or a stroke.
“It is the price of the sword.”
“Yes?”
The knight looked at the gold orb on his hand. It seemed to be worth at least 50 gold coins. It was more than 10 times the price of the sword.
‘More than that, why did the wizard use the sword…’
And at Do-yoon’s actions that followed, the two couldn’t help but be astonished.
“Eh!?”
“No! Wizard!”
Doyoon jumped down the wall.
