Episode 51. Leon Hunt. (1)
As always, I made a simple strategy.
Of course, it was returned right away.
“Then what would you do if the cardinal and the bishop came together?”
“It’s okay for us, but will the mercenaries be wiped out right away?”
“I think your thoughts are a bit short. Turn your head.”
“… I see.”
I can’t come to my senses because the three of them are saying something at the same time.
In the end, I fell in and the three of us planned a strategy.
“We have to send the mercenaries first. Why don’t we come first?”
“That is also true. But if the bishop steps forward, the mercenaries won’t be able to hold on, right?”
“Leon is also a problem. Even if it rots, it won’t be easy just because it’s Junchi.”
“Once you look at the map, it looks good to lure them towards the mountains here.”
“I don’t think you’ll follow me there, do you?”
“Well, wouldn’t it be fine if we used Nico as bait?”
“Hmm. Then there might be a possibility.”
… I don’t know if I can hear it from the side.
In the first place, the appearance of those three planning a strategy is a bit…. Should I say no?
Especially in the game, it is a holy war! Johanna, who tends to attack while doing so, and the princess, who likes to strike down opponents with overwhelming power.
I didn’t think these two would use their brains well.
“Don’t be too upset. It’s Nico-sama’s credit for bringing those three together.”
“… Well, there is only you.”
Elias even comforted me as I fell behind and wandered around.
I’m not particularly in a bad mood…. Is not it?
My initial strategy was simple.
If the mercenary corps rushes in and shoots and protests, ordinary believers will come out, and if they shoot ordinary believers, they will take care of the Bishop, Patriarch, and Leon who come to stop it.
Thinking back, the operation had too many flaws.
I told you everything I knew about bishops, cardinals, and the characteristics of pagans.
Johanna will block most abilities, and her physical abilities cannot pierce the body of the princess.
Emmaya, you can dodge and block on your own with the shadow.
Ordinary believers have a much shorter range than the sniper range of the mercenaries, so the mercenaries can do it on their own.
On the other hand, if a bishop or a cardinal comes forward, there will be no answer at all with the mercenaries.
This is not a comfortable situation.
A situation where if anything gets twisted, this side could be annihilated.
If you stick with what you think, you’ll never lose, but the world doesn’t always go the way you think.
There’s nothing wrong with being careful.
As I was staring at the wall for a while, thinking about other things, the princess called me.
“Nico? Would you like to come over for a while?”
“Yes. Going.”
The operation was a little complicated, but in the end what I did was simple.
The first thing to do is to enter the village and lure Leon, then go as far away as possible to subdue your brother.
“It won’t be that difficult.”
“Are you confident?”
“Of course.”
If it’s a fight without any restrictions, it won’t be difficult for you.
It’s just that it was difficult because there were a lot of restrictions in the martial arts festival that high-ranking people were watching.
“It takes less than 5 minutes.”
“Are you done with Algiers?”
“Yes.”
You have to run right back and help those who are fighting.
That’s a matter that needs to be seen and decided at that time.
If the bishop or cardinal is what I expected, there won’t be a big problem, but if it’s more than that, I’ll have to come as soon as possible to keep things from happening.
“What if not only Leon, but also a bishop or a cardinal comes along?”
“I will die clean.”
The image of the princess throwing her scary words as a joke and laughing while giggling alone is strangely hateful.
But what can I do? I’m a senior.
“There is another operation at that time, so you don’t have to worry.”
Looking at the princess like that, Emma said with a small sigh.
“Do you want to leave right now?”
“I have to go.”
I dragged on too long for something that should have been finished even though it was already over.
*********************
“I haven’t seen any of the villagers since yesterday.”
A mercenary who was watching the village came with an urgent message.
“… I hope it’s not too late.”
Damn the cultists.
Couldn’t it have been sacrificed or something like that? There’s still not enough time to get to that stage.
“Let’s go into town right away.”
If you go later, all the villagers may be sacrificed.
“Don’t forget the strategy. Not only the villagers, but all of us could die.”
“… I know.”
However, it is true that the strategy should be prioritized.
No matter how dangerous the villagers are, if you lure them in one by one and deal with them all according to the strategy, you will be able to reduce the number of people who will be sacrificed later.
I just walked into the village confidently.
I tried to find someone who took a step and raised my spirits, but nothing caught me.
Like, like a ghost town.
However, as they get closer to the village cathedral, they begin to feel the presence of people in it.
And, I was able to face the most important guy right away.
“It’s been a while. Mister.”
I haven’t seen him in a long time, and his face is properly distorted.
As if looking at the enemy.
At a glance, they are already fully prepared.
“I expected you to come.”
“So? What to do What are you trying to do with a cultist and his hand?”
“…You know nothing. I don’t know so….”
“Stop talking bullsh*t. Is it a Kruger family trait? Uncle, your father was also taken away for talking bullsh*t like that.”
“…”
It is clear that he is angry as if he is about to jump out at any moment.
Still, it’s amazing how he endures.
“Are you wasting your time?”
“…”
“It seems too obvious. Do some good acting.”
People around are gradually surrounding the cathedral.
I’m not as stupid as I thought.
Since he’s already been robbed of martial arts once, of course it’s right to deal with it carefully.
In this world where there are too many people who don’t know that obvious thing, isn’t hyung the top 1%?
“Come in gently. I will not kill you.”
“Give me my core. ‘Cause I won’t kill you maybe.”
Leon strangely changes at my words.
Did you know?
The fact that those cores stuck in his limbs are mine?
“This is not something you can handle.”
“Is that enough bullsh*t? I said I’d find my stuff that was stolen in the first place, ah. The thief numbs my feet. Is it like that?”
“I can’t listen anymore.”
As Leon raises his hand, cultists appear around him one by one.
It’s disgusting to see them all preparing to order.
“Are you going to die? Will you come in Decide.”
“That’s what I’m going to say. Ricard!!”
Bang!
Turseok.
A cultist approaching me at the sound of a gunshot accompanied by my shout collapses with his head exploding.
As expected Ricard, there is no mercy.
“Kill them all.”
The moment my order was given, gunshots were heard from all directions and the cultists were attacked.
But even if it’s rotten, it’s a pagan.
Aside from the first one, no one dies easily.
The blue shield surrounding them prevents bullets from reaching them.
I just keep protecting it.
If all of their mana is consumed, they will be annihilated on the spot.
“You bastard!!”
Meanwhile, Leon draws his sword and lunges at me.
Looking at Leon like that, I swallowed the pill hidden in his mouth and started running into the forest.
“Stand there!”
Fortunately, Leon starts chasing me.
However, two incredibly large signs began to be felt within the cathedral.
Presumably a bishop and a cardinal.
It must have appeared because there was a commotion outside.
If those two come out, the mercenaries will be wiped out in an instant.
Of course, unless the princess, Emma, and Johanna are running this way as soon as they feel the presence of the two.
Leon seemed to have felt the situation behind him, but he hesitated for a while….
“You run too slow, you asshole. How ugly your father was dragged. Shall I tell you how funny your mother has become? Just like you right now.”
“… I will kill you.”
It feels a bit like lying down and spitting, but it doesn’t matter.
In the first place, I don’t even think of them as my parents anymore.
“If you can kill it, follow it and see it.”
The duration of the pill is about 10 minutes.
I need to lure him out for about 5 minutes.
Unexpectedly, if it wasn’t me but Emma or the princess, I might lose to this guy.
Dirty matching washable.
Dirty eyes.
So, I have no choice but to lure him as far as possible.
No matter what happens over there, make sure this guy can’t intervene.
If this guy’s eyes read Johanna’s magic and tell it to the bishop or cardinal, that’s it.
I don’t know, Emma, but in the worst case, the princess could turn into an enemy.
“You’re f*cking slow, you idiot. So even if mom and dad are dragged away like that, they can’t do anything. Do you know where your brother is and what he is doing?”
“aaa!!! I will kill you!!!”
My older brother starts chasing after me in earnest.
Of course I started running at full speed, about 5 minutes.
Spurs the ground and rapidly decelerates.
As it is, I turn around and look at my older brother brandishing a knife at my neck.
Certainly, my older brother’s blow is sharp.
Strong and fast.
However, at most sharp and fast attacks cannot hit me.
I lower my head to avoid the knife lightly and ‘place’ a blow to my brother’s stomach.
Puck!!
“Keueouk?!”
Without even looking at it, at best, the blade full of rage collapses just this much.
Apparently the novel is finished with 102 chapters. It would be nice to have the rest of the chapters.
Thanks for the upload anyway.
