Chapter 179 – #13 Kingdom Guard (4)
The first siege in my life was mind-boggling. Unlike the wars I knew, it rained magic instead of arrows, and the capital’s barrier blocked magic.
Siege weapons to penetrate barriers appeared. In order to intercept it, the kingdom’s great wizard appeared and rained down fire. The Imperial Army defends it again.
The soldiers standing on the wall eagerly drew their bowstrings. There were no long guns, perhaps because of magic, science was less advanced. A magically operated automatic repeating crossbow-like object took over the machine gun’s role.
Amidst the chaos, Lena and Mehya were quickly evacuated to avoid getting hurt. And I stuck to Bucom and Serena’s side.
“Don’t be afraid to protest! Their catapults can’t penetrate barriers! Defend so that the enemy cannot reach the walls!”
“Wizard, destroy the siege engine! You say you can’t reach the range? Then intercept that boulder!”
“Aaaaagh!!”
The wizards screamed and threw their magic at the stones flying overhead. The stone, swept away by the strong wind, lost its momentum and fell.
The imperial army, crushed by a large stone, turned into blood. I gave advice after seeing the arrows bounce off the barrier in front of me.
“Isn’t it too dangerous here? Take command from a safer place.”
“In a safe place, the staff are aware of the situation. It is sending information to me in real time.”
Bucom tapped the crystal ball in his ear. Concentrating, I heard a faint voice incessantly.
“The enemy is almost close to the wall, trigger the trap!”
With a loud explosion, dust rose from a place a little away from the wall to the vicinity of the siege weapons. As the dust settled, a pile of corpses was revealed.
“Woo-wook.”
A few soldiers with weak stomachs vomited. Oddly enough, I didn’t mind. It was like this when I killed myself for the first time. Is it a special feature of the possessor? Or am I just used to this world?
While thinking about it, the imperial army moved again. Most of the corpses were not properly armed and were carrying ladders, but this time they were equipped with fairly unified armament, as if they were regular soldiers.
“The main unit is finally coming out. It seems that the prisoners have already run out.”
“Already?”
“Our kingdom is on the very lax side, but the Imperial army is famous for severe punishment. Usually, when fighting a war, they like to use the tactic of throwing tens of thousands of prisoners, consuming physical strength, magic power, and supplies, and striking them with regular troops.”
As I was listening to Rainey’s explanation, I was full of energy. That our kingdom’s penal code is lax? If the kingdom where the guards wield omnipotent power is lax, the imperial army will try to capture the guards even if they step on the shadow.
“You are right.”
“The Empire catches even stepping on the shadow of a guard?”
“Uh… Not to that extent. Conscription for theft, conscription for domestic violence, and enlistment in the military are not the greatest punishments. That’s what it meant.”
Conscription was a more terrible punishment than the death penalty. Hey, looking at the real situation of the Imperial Army, you can say that conscription = death penalty.
The imperial army used corpses as shields to approach the walls while avoiding the rain of arrows and magic.
“I’m trying to raise a ladder! Stop it!”
I also tried to add strength to the defense of the castle wall. But Rainey stopped it.
“You stay here.”
“Shouldn’t I add at least one hand?”
“It’s our first attack, so we won’t try to end the siege today. I’ll fall in moderation And I’ll bet you again, so make sure to conserve your power for that time.”
“Yes.”
Still, it hurt a little to stay still. Laney added.
“And I also have a mind to prepare for the future.”
“In the future?”
“It breaks out so often that it is said that there is no generation that has not experienced war. When Bucom-nim was your age, he experienced the Suseongjeon. Since you became a high-level Aura user at a young age, the probability of becoming a sword master is high. A sword master who has experienced siege warfare, a person who will be here even when the capital is invaded because he is a guard.”
“It is me.”
You’re trying to prepare for the future by feeding them command experience points. Okay. There’s no way our Rainey called to just do a diary.
Just as she said, the siege was over quickly. The imperial army withdrew, and several soldiers came out to collect the body.
The soldiers glanced in this direction as they removed the body.
“Can I leave it as is?”
“It is a waste of material. If you openly try to secure an advance route, they will attack you, but they haven’t shown it like that yet. I can just leave it alone.”
As soon as the corpse disappeared properly, the courteous imperial knight appeared. After provoking hard, he put someone else on the line.
-I am V-Mo, the eldest son of the X family and the chief member of the Tra Knights! Does anyone dare to stand up to me!
“Vmony is known as an advanced Auror user. Suma. It is your turn.”
“Yes.”
“For a moment. Are you going to go in that outfit?”
“How about the guard uniform?”
Even receiving a commendation, it was a newly issued uniform, so it was several times stronger than the one I was wearing originally. Prince Rominas said that it has defensive power comparable to that of a decent knight’s armor.
Laney, who was well aware of this, explained to Bucom.
“Okay. A uniform that can withstand several attacks from Aura servants. You don’t have to give me the armor.”
“Suddenly putting on armor is cumbersome. Since you are not used to it, there is a high probability that your movements will be hindered.”
“You are right. Let it go.”
“Wait a minute.”
Rainey handed me his sword.
“The real sword I used during training has the same shape as my sword and has the same center of gravity. The same goes for the sword I gifted you. But the quality of the ingredients is different, so bring mine.”
Laney hesitated for a moment before adding, blushing.
“I hope you think of me when you see that sword. We must win and come back.”
“I will keep in mind. I will use it well without damaging the sword.”
“You can get hurt. No, it’s okay even if it breaks, so just come alive.”
I hugged Rainie tightly. Except for when she was having sex, she was always shivering with someone who seemed strong.
“I will definitely win for the sake of my child.”
Is this too much of a death flag? No. I’m a whiner If there was a correction for the main character, it would have been given to me, so I could never lose.
I stepped out of the gate with no fear. Between the capital and the Imperial Garrison. I faced Vmony in a place where the magic of both sides could barely reach.
“Who the hell are you?”
“Guards of the kingdom. Smada.”
Haha!!!”
Vmony suddenly burst into laughter.
“How untalented the guards would be! Listen everyone! You’ve sent out a nameless guard to deal with this V-mony! How afraid I am, I’m not even a knight! Only guards!”
The imperial army laughed at me. Hearing the sound of laughter echoing through the air made me a little upset.
How dare a knight laugh at a guard? What is the least dying job in yagame?
Innkeeper. Old man. Heroin. And a guard
“Hey. Vmon.”
“What? My name is Vmo!”
“V-mon or V-monina. Why did your parents name you that way?”
Padlips are an effective way to annoy opponents. It worked well for vmony.
“Hey, hey!!”
“I don’t like to talk at length with a guy I’m about to search for. Finish quickly and pull out your sword.”
“Something like a guard!”
Embarrassed Vmony pulled out his sword.
“I’ll make sure this V-mony doesn’t talk nonsense again!”
“Either way.”
“Profit!”
Vmony pulled out 1m of Aura and attacked. However, it was much more blunt than Rainy’s sword and slower than Akiko’s attack.
I brought my sword to his sword. Unable to pierce the pommel, he slightly twisted the clogged blade.
“Suck!”
Surprised, Vmony tried to step back. But man is a creature that walks forward. Unless you did the moonwalk, it was much slower than moving.
I chased after this guy. As he hurriedly retreated, he swung his sword pretending to aim for his exposed chest his.
“You got caught!”
He twisted his body slightly to avoid V Mony’s top cut. Then, he cut off his fully exposed wrist.
“Uh…?”
The aura split his gloves and severed his wrists his. Vmony stared at his falling hand in vain.
If you pass out in the middle of the day, you must die. I just harvested the guy’s head. He grabbed his head his, which was about to fall, and shouted vigorously.
“Me! Suma, the guard of the kingdom, decapitated V-Mony!”
I wanted to say that it was a line I saw often in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. As if to show off, I held it for a few seconds and then threw it into the enemy camp.
I went back to the capital in a leisurely way to see others, and I was greeted by cheers so strong that they rang in the air.
“Guard Suma!”
“Suma! Suma! Suma!”
“Suma killed even a high-level ninja!”
“Suma, the hero of the kingdom!”
This is it This is the attention given to the victor of Ilto. I love it. Exciting.
I went back to Rainey and Bucom and boasted.
“How was it?”
“Good job.”
“It was very cool. He is also my disciple and my husband.”
Wasn’t it the first time Laney called me her husband her? It was good that I vomited and came. I feel like I can cut down more than a hundred people.
