EP.368 Brick House (Middle)

“Ta- haa!!”

“Ugh… … !”

Boom!! With a sound like a ram striking a siege wheel, the human form flew into the sky once again.

It was the blue enforcer who tried to block Blanc’s sword.

If it had been a duel where we fought on the ground, he wouldn’t have been pushed back like this.

But now Blanc is riding a werewolf that is faster than a horse and stronger than a bear.

Even if you can stop Blanc personally, how can you withstand the added impact of the werewolf?

Blanc shouted urgently as he slashed away a dozen spears that were coming from all directions without even checking whether the man had landed properly or fallen.

“We’re being surrounded again! Let’s move!”

– Ugh-uh!!

The giant wolf Blanc was riding leaped over the wall of soldiers, howling loudly.

He was one of Yael’s adjutants, and although he was less naturally powerful than Yael, he was the most outstanding werewolf in terms of insight and judgment when surveying the battlefield.

It was also the talent that Blanc needed most right now.

‘Even without being told specifically, they move to the place where it’s easiest to deal with enemies. When they need to shock, they target the command center, and when they need to reorganize, they retreat to the place where the battle lines are in disarray. There’s no place more convenient than this. Trasha comes to mind… … .’

“Kwaaak!”

Even as Blanc was thinking that, the soldier who was trampled by the wolf’s foot screamed in pain.

I feel like my lower abdomen has been kicked, but I don’t know for sure, but I’m probably going to have a lot of trouble sleeping at night for a while.

Well… I’m glad I didn’t have to take his life. Blanc felt a small sense of relief as he pulled out three throwing daggers from his bosom.

“We have captured the target of the execution.”

‘It’s slowly… coming.’

I could feel the executors guarding different parts of the fortress swarming in from all directions.

There are only three people approaching him, jumping over the rooftops of the fortress right now. All of them are white enforcers.

The behavior, which lacked even a hint of life, still felt extremely alien.

– … … I didn’t see it properly during the first attack. Something… is incredibly bizarre. Is that thing really human?

“He’s human. Unfortunately.”

The doll-like movements were the result of devoting one’s mind to fighting the demons during the coming war.

Blanc threw his daggers at them simultaneously, feeling a renewed sense of doubt about whether they had any sense of self left in them.

The white enforcers swung their swords with unerring precision, deflecting the daggers.

I knew it.

“now!”

“… … !!”

As soon as Blanc gave the signal, the wolf took a big leap, heading towards the white enforcer who was furthest away of the three.

He quickly took up his position and tried to block the attack, but Blanc had already extended his sword towards the place he was fleeing to.

“how-”

“This is already the second time I’ve fought you guys!!”

The reason why visions are the most dangerous and deadly in swordsmanship is because they cannot be blocked at first sight.

The revealed vision is not scary at all.

In that sense, warriors who carried out their orders as if they were one body without any individual differences may be perfect as soldiers, but they were not very good opponents as warriors.

Once you understand their behavioral principles, it becomes obvious how they all work.

“Fighting the same enemy three times… If you can’t even read his movements, then you should stop calling yourself a knight!”

– … … I don’t know much about articles, but I think the criteria is strange, Nari.

Crunch! The chest of the white executioner, who was unable to escape due to being blocked by the sword, was trampled by a giant foreleg.

It was like having your chest crushed by a galloping warhorse. You could hear bones breaking. It might be an instant death, but you probably wouldn’t be able to participate in the battle.

There was no time to continue the sentiment. Blanc immediately raised his silver sword and prepared to parry the strikes of the two remaining white enforcers.

But the expected attack never came.

Instead of dealing with Blanc on the roof, they went down and joined the troops on the ground.

‘This is… … .’

Blanc looked around.

The fortress, where only torches for guard duty had been burning here and there, was already brightly lit as if on fire, and a thick siege net had formed, gradually closing in on him.

The executioners were seen approaching in groups of five, each, amidst a wall of soldiers in the rear armed with bows and soldiers in the front armed with spears and shields.

There were about eight units, one blue and four white. Even the majority of the white enforcers were carrying guns and were in a firing stance.

The blue enforcer wearing red shoes… was still out of sight.

“… … It seems like a head-on confrontation would be impossible any longer.”

– Running away and wasting time is no longer possible. Even if the bow is difficult to penetrate my skin anyway, that gun weapon… If those things form a barrage of bullets, I won’t be able to dodge.

“Hmm.”

Even if Nellyvia were here, she wouldn’t be able to stop a barrage of that amount of fire.

Blanc clicked his tongue and looked up at the sky.

The moon was bright but not high in the sky.

“… … is going down.”

– Are you okay? Of course I am prepared to give my life, but Nari-

“I’m not saying we should go towards the Executioner. We should jump through the roof towards the soldiers. That’s the safest way.”

– Oh, indeed.

The wolf, who understood Blanc’s words, lowered his posture slightly and then started running at full speed.

Bang!! Dozens of guns burst out in flames at the same time. The adjutant’s ominous prediction that a barrage of bullets would form turned out to be true.

Luckily, there was a chimney nearby, so I was able to avoid the first barrage by hiding behind it.

But next time… … .

– What are you doing, you idiots!? How can you not hit that big target with those numbers!!

A nasty voice came from over there.

It was Archbishop Ira’s voice.

– Your Excellency.

– Can you still call this the secret weapon of the church? Do you think I brought you here just to see this?

– I’m sorry. But since I’ve cornered them with this and they have nowhere to run, next time I’ll definitely…

– Throw it away! Just shoot them in succession! You just need to hit once! If you shoot like crazy, one shot will hit!!

– … … .

For some reason, that unpleasant, tinkling voice sounded very welcome at this moment.

Just in case, Blanc peeked out from behind the chimney and saw a few bullets flying in and hitting the ground.

The policy was to decide the outcome through rate of fire rather than forming a barrage.

then.

“Do you know what I’m thinking?”

– Of course. That idiot is really helpful.

The adjutant smiled broadly, the corners of his mouth raised, and began to run forward without the slightest hesitation.

Tata tata tata tang!! As soon as they appeared, countless bullets and arrows began to fly after him.

But it wasn’t as scary as before.

Due to the Werewolf’s transcendent speed, not only did the majority of the projectiles land where they had already traveled, but even if they flew at a trajectory that would have hit them a few times…

‘If they don’t come at the same time, I can knock them out!’

Kang- kakang, kang, kang!!

Blanc performed a dazzling flurry of moves on the wolf, deflecting the hail of bullets and arrows.

– What, what is… what is that? That crazy- gun! It’s not a musket or anything, it’s a rifle! How the hell am I supposed to deflect this thing?

– … … .

– No… That can’t be. You’re missing! Hey, you punks!! How can you not hit a target with such a good weapon!? I’m telling you to aim properly!!

It was quite funny to see Archbishop Ira get so angry that he would yell at his subordinates, contrary to his will.

But apart from that, we’ve come to a place where we can circle the roof of the fortress and jump down onto the Imperial soldiers.

“Ready?”

– It’s been a while since you’ve hunted. It must be really fun.

“… … Oh, please don’t use that expression. It’s a bit like that.”

– Is that so? You’re someone I don’t know at all.

The adjutant laughed softly and jumped down among the soldiers.

Of course, they couldn’t just sit back and watch, so countless spears and swords flew towards them.

It was Blanc’s job to fix that.

“Hand over your weapons──!!”

bang!!

Before the wolf could reach the window, Blanc swung his silver sword, kicking off the wall of the building and landing diagonally.

Half of the spear shaft that touched the blade was cut off, the remaining half was crushed, and a huge wolf landed lightly where the blade had broken.

The countless crowds formed a shield wall, and the hail of gunfire subsided for a moment.

Blanc, once again mounted on the wolf, raised both swords high and shouted.

“If you don’t want to die, get out of the way!! There’s only one person I can truly take your life from!!”
