A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 86



Only Noblemtl

Episode 086. Devil!

* * *

The leaders collapsed, and those following behind fell over, tangled, creating chaos.

But unfortunately, not everyone stumbled upon it, and the troops following us detoured to the side and continued to follow us.

“Enemy-eyed demon! What are you doing! Didn’t I say I didn’t come here to fight!”

The guy who had been yelling at me a moment ago must have managed to avoid the sword attack because he was running in front again and was yelling at me.

I muttered in a resentful voice.

“No, I didn’t do it. Why are you yelling at me… .”

“Stop! Right now!”

But what is unfair is unfair.

It is common sense to say what needs to be said.

“Stop talking nonsense. We didn’t come here to fight, so why are you bringing all your troops here?”

“That is… the sincerity of a noble person!”

“Sincerity is a plague. Don’t say ‘noble one, noble one’, but tell me the correct name. What idiot would stop when those who don’t even know your name are chasing you with swords?”

The guy thought for a moment and then shouted.

“His great name is Frederick Vittorio Blake! If you know, stop now!”

“… …Who is that?”

Walpole told me.

“It’s the second prince!”

“I see.”

I asked the guy.

“Are you the second prince’s lackey?”

“A jerk. How odd of you to say that!”

“Then what should I call you? A punk? A swindler? A lackey? A brat? A rascal? A dog? The second prince’s toe?”

The bastard shouted.

“Are you insulting me!”

Someone doesn’t get angry because they don’t know how to get angry.

I also shouted.

“You son of a bitch! What are you going to do if I insult you! I am the one who defeated that terrifying knight of the cold. I am talking about the red-eyed demon that is twice as terrifying as the cold. What kind of idiot are you thinking of picking a fight with? If you don’t want to lose everything, then get out! No matter how much you guys struggle, do you think you will even brush my hair! Just go back when I say something nice to you.”

“That’s not a good thing to say.”

“비교적 좋은 말이다, 이 개새끼야.”

Because of the strong wind blowing, my eyes suddenly felt sore, so I closed them for a moment and opened them again.

It seemed as if we were now riding a horse running at incredible speed.

‘Oh, damn it. I can’t do this.’

It’s okay to argue on horseback, but it seems like it would be impossible to fight with swords.

It was because I felt like I would fall off my horse if I lost my balance while swinging my sword.

I’m not a knight, so when have I ever been in a mounted fight?

I rode a horse when I was in a hurry to fulfill a request with limited time.

As I was thinking about how to fight on horseback, the second prince’s toe shouted at me.

“I warn you, this is not all of our forces! Even you cannot defeat all of us. Stop talking and follow me!”

“What are you talking about? I defeated that fearsome knight of the cold. You guys are no match for me even if you come at me, so get out of here and stop bothering me. Don’t test my patience.”

“I was also in danger of dying in the Battle of Uberren, surrounded by hundreds of enemies. You are no exception!”

Hey? This isn’t it.

After hearing it, I realized that this wasn’t just a simple fight of force, but a fight of physical strength as well.

“Choose! Will you follow me with one arm cut off, or will you follow me with your whole body? If you refuse, I will take you by force!”

It seemed that the second prince was also in desperate need of a knight to go to the duel.

I see you trying to trade me for hundreds of soldiers.

But isn’t that too easy a decision?

The Second Prince naturally acted as if the First Prince’s duel opponent was only himself.

That means he doesn’t even see the Black Prince as a competitor…

For a moment, the Black Prince, who was laughing like a black tiger, came to mind.

‘You fucking punk. Are you doing it right?’

I tried to shake them off with words, but these guys had come prepared to die from the start.

In that case… I too have no choice but to respond with the resolve to die.

I raised the corners of my mouth and made a sneer.

“Go ahead and give it a try, you little punks.”

The bastard’s expression became distorted.

“Draw your sword!”

Sreung!

The chilling sound of dozens of people drawing their swords simultaneously could be heard from both sides.

Some of the swords had a faint aura.

They weren’t just a bunch of people floating around.

Walpole shouted.

“Come!”

Sir Schneider calmly and silently wrapped his aura around his sword.

Kwaaang!

A loud noise erupted from both sides.

The two knights swung their swords with ghostly skill and blocked the attacks from the men closing in on both sides.

Chaechaechaechae!

To fight like that on horseback.

For me, who was unfamiliar with mounted combat, it was a very unfamiliar sight.

He was swinging his sword while riding a horse at incredible speed, and it was no different than swinging it on flat ground. His posture was stable and unwavering.

Is this the article?

Curtis, running ahead, shouted.

“Shake it off! Don’t let it stick!”

“yes!”

The enemies fell from their horses one by one, their blood spraying as they were struck by the fierce swords of the two knights.

Those who fell were trampled to death by the horses that followed them.

Still, they showed no sign of stopping.

[Do something. Are you just going to suck your thumb?]

“I have my own thoughts too.”

I took out a rock from my pocket that I had kept while resting, rattled it in my hand, and fired a meteorite at the guys.

ping!

“100 million!”

“Eww!”

The men were hit in the face with meteors and fell off their horses without even knowing what was happening.

I left the lead and the back a bit apart and then threw a night bomb on each side.

Boom! Boom!

In an instant, a darkness as thick as ink spread out.

Hehehe!

“It’s black magic!”

“Eww!”

The horses were confused by the night sky that suddenly spread out before their eyes.

The frightened horses escaped their riders’ control.

Hehehe!

“calm down!”

“Hey! Can’t you stay still?”

The horses that fell into the night sky collided with each other, creating a chaos.

There was a loud crash and then the guys started falling over one after another, tangled together.

“Ahhhh!”

“Stop! Stop it!”

The men who followed behind tried to avoid the wild stream in a hurry, but they bumped into each other and fell down.

In an instant, it became a battlefield.

Schneider muttered quietly at the sight.

“Black magic… … It’s truly terrifying.”

“I said it’s martial arts.”

The waist is broken.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to beat the leaders who are following me… … .

At that moment, something soared into the sky.

It rose into the sky, emitting a reddish aura, and burst into small bursts like firecrackers.

“… … A signal flare?”

As I was moving, kicking away the guys who kept chasing me, Shushuruta patted my back and said.

“Ashvan. Enemies are waiting ahead.”

I immediately relayed this information to Curtis.

“Sir Curtis! There’s an ambush ahead!”

“All right!”

We were now running along a path in the forest.

It is a situation where you cannot get off the road. If you get off the road, you will be blocked by the dense trees and cannot run properly. Most likely, you will hit a tree and fall off.

They probably knew that and were lying in ambush in front.

“What are you going to do!”

“It’s a frontal assault! I’ll clear the way! Follow me!”

“It was good. It was refreshing.”

Doo doo doo doo―

After a while, the people blocking the road came into view in the distance.

I focused my inner energy into my eyes to see their true identities.

It was a wall made of shields.

The shields were stacked tightly together like turtles, with sharp spears sticking out between them.

The sight reminded me of a hedgehog.

If you charge in like that, you’ll end up skewered like a skewer.

But Curtis instead increased his speed and drew his sword.

Woof-

A dark green aura enveloped his sword.

Woohoo!

As the aura grew darker, the sword let out a loud cry.

“Ugh!”

Curtis swung his sword horizontally.

A green blast of sword energy flew wide and collided with the shield wall.

Kwaaaaang!

The wall made of shields collapsed.

The remaining shields and spears were torn to pieces by Sir Curtis with his green aura-covered sword.

A pitiful scream rose from the shield wall.

We ran down the path that Sir Curtis had opened, and those following us on either side were tripped up or blocked by the remains of the shield wall.

Nevertheless, some of the men who followed with indomitable will were dealt with by Schneider and Walpole.

Doo doo doo doo―

We ran without any problems.

When I looked back, there was no one following me.

I looked again at Sir Curtis running ahead.

His back looked unusually broad today.

“… … So there was a reason you were the commander of the knights?”

* * *

There were several more raids after that, but the three knights, especially Curtis’s brave advance, shook off all the enemies and rushed forward.

It was already late afternoon, and we got off our horses and looked for a place to rest while watching the setting sun.

I patted the horse’s neck, which was sweating all over its body.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Purruk.

We sat down at a place where a stream was flowing, guided by Shushuruta.

While the horses were choking, we too were pouring our water canteens down their throats.

“Oh my gosh, I’m going to die… … .”

“Ugh… … .”

To be exact, only me and Walpole were spread out. Curtis and Schneider were just leaning back against the tree, breathing heavily. Schneider looked at me and Walpole, who were lying around, with displeasure, but he didn’t say much.

Schneider, who was sitting and tilting his water bottle, called Curtis.

“Sir Curtis. The Second Prince’s forces are too numerous.”

Curtis looked at him.

“At this point, we should assume that they dispatched troops with a plan.”

“… … .”

“It’s strange. Unless they knew we were coming, how could so many troops be here in such a short period of time… .”

“Lord Schneider.”

Curtis cut him off.

“I know what you mean, but please stop there.”

“……yes.”

There was an uncomfortable atmosphere for a moment.

“Your Majesty Ashvan. Please give me a water bottle. I will fill it up.”

As Walpole was leaving, he took everyone’s water canteens and headed to the stream.

I know what you’re trying to say.

I guess that means there’s an insider.

Even I think it’s strange. I understand why he started following me little by little at first.

If there are that many, you can find them hanging around the territory and chase them down.

But this many soldiers keep attacking? And in an organized manner?

“… … .”

The sinister smile of the Black Prince kept coming to mind.

But what can I do? There’s no point in thinking about it now. I have no choice but to go back with the magic sword as quickly as possible.

I sat up slightly and saw Shushuruta, who had gone to the stream with the horses, coming back with her face and the hair around it soaking wet. Did she dip her face into the stream and drink the water?

I asked her.

“How long have you been here?”

“The destination is Lake of the Fog, and at this rate we should be able to get there before the sun sets tomorrow.”

“hmm.”

“But since it’ll have to be night to shoot the starlight with a dagger anyway, you can go a little leisurely.”

“I see.”

“When do you plan to leave?”

“We leave when the sun sets.”

“i get it.”

I grabbed her as she stretched and tried to go somewhere.

“You come here for a moment.”

“Huh? Why are you doing that?”

I grabbed Shushuruta and poked the back of her neck.

“Extreme!”

Shushuruta sagged with a strange sound.

I hung Shushuruta, who had gone on a trip to dreamland, on a tree branch and then approached the next guests.

The two knights who had been resting stepped back hesitantly.

“I, I’m fine.”

“I will stand guard because I can’t sleep.”

I ignored their opinions.

“The best rest is like a tonic… … .”

Plop! Plop! Thud. Thud.

He stabbed the back of the necks of the two rebel knights one by one.

Walpole returned, having just filled his water bottle.

“I’m back. Huh? Why are you already asleep… … .”

Phew!

“Ugh.”

I laid Walpole, who was about to collapse, down next to the two knights and let out a deep sigh.

“I feel like a nanny.”

* * *

Strangely enough, the enemy did not come.

So we rode all night without any disturbance, took a short rest at sunrise, and then rode again.

The peace lasted until the afternoon.

But I didn’t feel very good.

[It’s not a very pleasant peace.]

I had a bad feeling about this. It was like the calm before a storm.

It was the same for the knights, they all had hardened expressions.

And finally, Shushuruta called me.

“Ashvan. The enemy.”

Doo doo doo doo―

This time, the guys came running from both sides.

There were so many of them that I glanced behind me and saw a cloud of dust rising.

I could tell right away that these guys were going to end it this time.

Pee-pee!

The pursuers fired signal flares into the sky.

There were six of them, each of different colors.

Even without Shushuruta saying anything, I could tell.

That there are guys waiting up front.

Soon, enemies appeared ahead.

But this time, instead of a wall of shields, we were met by three knights.

The one in the middle grinned and tilted back the long spear he was holding.

“Nice to meet you!”

The moment I saw the bastard’s gaze, the angle of his shoulder and elbow, the trajectory of the spear came into clear view.

The moment the sharp blade of the spear, tilted back, gleamed in the sunlight, I kicked off the saddle without hesitation and ran out.

“Bow down!”

Curtis immediately lowered his posture as if embracing a horse at my shout.

The spear he threw flew back in the form of a long ray of light.

Wedge!

It pierced right where Curtis’ chest was, and I caught the beam of light with my hand wrapped around my inner energy, kicking Curtis’s back.

I put strength only into the hand holding the window, and relaxed the rest.

Then, the body naturally swung along with the power contained in the spear.

I did a full rotation in the air with my torso as the axis, and then sent the spear back where it came from.

Wedge!

“Nice to meet you too!”

puck!

The bastard fumbled with his hollow chest with a look of despair, and then collapsed.

I took the opportunity to run straight at the guy on the left.

He drew out the sword, blowing the starlight that was wrapped around his hand into the hilt.

Phew!

The bastard split diagonally along with the sword he was holding.

As the knights blocking the road fell, the soldiers waiting behind them came into view.

They looked at me as if they had seen a ghost, their shields raised.

“… … !”

There were a huge number of them.

When I saw the massive force that seemed to swell like waves, a sense of overwhelming emotion washed over me.

Behind, a tsunami is chasing you, raising foam. In front, a cliff is blocking you with its shield raised.

The devil warned.

[If you don’t break through, you’ll be surrounded from the front and back.]

What that meant was that we had to find a way through it somehow.

Somehow.

“… … It’s nothing.”

At the moment when I was about to kick the ground and advance towards them.

For a moment, the air felt damp.

From behind them, a green mist came into view, swarming like a giant snake.

It was a poisonous fog.

“Grrrrrrrrr!”

“Kara-ra-rak!”

The guys started to fall down one by one from behind, making strange noises.

And behind them, a girl with bright green hair braided into two pigtails appeared.

She looked at me and smiled brightly.

“You devil!”

This is crazy… … .
