Offer a Tribute and Become an Archmage - Chapter 205



Only Noblemtl

Episode 205.

Boladizen is his adopted daughter.

Called Diola.

“What did it look like?”

Although she is said to be an adopted daughter, Diola was actually raised as a prostitute by a high-class courtesan, Red Wine. She was able to become Voladizen’s adopted daughter because she was a woman who had mastered various night skills.

“As usual. The Baron climbs the walls and uses magic all day long. He says he’s training, to be exact.”

“small?”

“It’s quiet. Occasionally, some guys will provoke you from a distance that the Baron’s magic cannot reach, but that’s all. They’re probably watching the situation carefully.”

“I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not…”

Lord Boladizen was a narrow-minded and timid man. He was always anxious that his position would be taken away.

It was only natural, since you never know when a war might start.

“Even a white wizard would be unable to fight more than two thousand enemies alone, right?”

“Even if it’s white, it’s impossible. Rumor has it that there are several red wizards in Nelatino. And there’s one white knight…”

The depth of the lord’s heart has deepened.

In fact, there are more things that I didn’t tell him than things that I told him. If things continue like this, the Youngji War will inevitably be lost. No matter how advantageous the defending side is in a siege war, there is a limit.

There are those who have the power of knights and wizards that surpass humans and can even break down a solid iron door.

If they were the holy warriors of the Basti sect, it was only a matter of time.

“Z, what happened to the reinforcements?”

Boladizen asked Zenjar.

“I am gathering mercenaries, but it seems difficult to gather more than two hundred at most.”

“No, why is that all they can do?”

Mercenaries are those who would gather hundreds of dollars if given money. Even serfs who only farmed would become mercenaries when war broke out, trying to make a big profit.

But it’s hard to get over two hundred!

“They are also sensitive to rumors…”

“Okay.”

That rumor was the problem.

Voladigen and Nelatino are at war.

But it was clear that the Basti sect had spread rumors here and there that they were helping Nelatino and that their army easily numbered over two thousand.

Mercenaries aren’t stupid either.

No fool would risk his life in a fight he was sure would be lost.

Boladizen bit his fingernails.

“Baron Hopper isn’t just using some kind of magic trick to betray me, is he? What about his wife and his retainer?”

“He is still receiving treatment at the infirmary. According to the servant, he will recover quickly and get up soon.”

“Keep the infirmary tightly guarded! If they escape, the Baron might just be kicked out of the war without a sound!”

Zenjar’s wrinkles were deeply sunken.

“Is that even necessary? If the Baron realizes that we’ve been watching, we’ll have lost our only remaining hope.”

“You never know when you might fly away! If the Baron runs away, if he runs away… That’s when we’re finished!!”

Boladizen trembled in fear.

“Diola! Spend a night with the Baron! I have adopted you as my adopted daughter for such a time as this! Why can’t you seduce even one man and make me tremble in fear?”

“… He is a man of steely will and gentleness. No matter what kind of beauty comes, he can seduce the Baron…”

“Shut up!! I didn’t call you here to hear excuses like that! Do you think I have to slap you to come to your senses!?”

Boladigen’s face flushed slightly with excitement. He had been a frightened pig until just now, but now he was horny again.

Diola’s eyes grew cold.

“It would be difficult to hear His words without me.”

“… Who, who said that you would really do that! Now, just faithfully fulfill your role as my daughter!”

It was a pointless incident, but Diola didn’t even blink an eye.

“…don’t become a whale’s belly.”

“!!”

The moment when Boladigen flinched in surprise.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!! A loud noise enough to shake the building erupted.

“Whoa!”

“Eww!”

The castle’s windows were broken and all the furniture fell over.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a direct explosion.

It was an explosion that came from far away.

“What the heck! Are you saying that they’ve already conquered the city gates?!”

Boladizen was so shocked that he urinated himself when the furniture that he couldn’t fall down suddenly fell over.

Zenjar ran out in a hurry and asked the soldiers about the circumstances of the incident and reported to him according to their testimonies.

“Baron Hopper has finally used great magic!!”

“What, what?! The Baron?”

The trembling in fear only lasted for a moment.

Soon, Boladigen laughed heartily enough to make his jaw shake and hit his knee.

“I knew you would do that! Ah! Of course! I knew you would definitely live up to my expectations, Baron! What are you doing? Gather the army! I will lead the vanguard and subdue the enemies!!”

“First, you need to change your pants.”

“Ah… I see.”

The smell was strong.

*

The magnitude of the explosion was stronger than Ronobe had expected.

Even Ronobe had no way of knowing what kind of harmony had been achieved, or what principle of firepower it was.

But do I really need to know?

“You’re so damn strong.”

It was a way to perfectly compensate for the shortcomings that Ronobe had in mind. If you can’t command magic itself, just mix in something that can. Even now, thinking about it made me feel like lightning would strike from my frontal lobe to my toes.

‘I might actually be a genius.’

Ronobe’s face turned pale as he watched the explosion with a smile. The radius of the explosion was larger than he had thought. It took quite some time for the black smoke that had risen in a puff to clear.

Suddenly, something strange fell from the sky.

“It’s snow!”

“It’s not snow, it’s popcorn?”

There must have been corn among the barracks’ supplies.

It rained popcorn.

Ronobe stared blankly at the sight of rain falling on Popcorn, no, Yantu, and thought of Karankar.

Didn’t Karankar also do something like this sometimes?

It was funny, but it also felt a bit bitter.

Ronobe shook his head and soon focused on the war.

“Still, there are some who survived.”

There are survivors, perhaps because they settled at the entrance to the enemy’s barracks. It’s hard to count them since they’re all scattered, but it’s safe to assume that most of the force has collapsed.

They said there were about two thousand, so at least 70% of them must have died.

“Open the gates!!”

Ronobe shouted at the soldiers who were still blankly staring at the explosion.

The enemy camp is almost destroyed.

In that case, it would be better to end the war by either recovering the loot or capturing or killing the surviving enemies.

“Yes, yes! Seo, open the gate!!”

“Open the gates!”

It seemed like it would take some time for the tightly fenced gate to open.

‘Shall we fly?’

I thought about flying over first and organizing things, but I didn’t necessarily do that.

At this point, Ronobe has done everything he could.

The rest is up to Boladigen.

Instead, I called Liam.

“What have you done now?”

“What are you doing? Can’t you see that you’ve earned merit? Bring all the soldiers. There’s a treasure field over there filled with swords and armor!”

“Ah! I’ll bring it right now!!”

“Bring me the biggest cart! Quickly!!”

“yes!!”

The army near Icheon was annihilated.

There may still be a few hundred left, but it shouldn’t be a big problem.

“Ronobe. I’ll go too.”

“Are your legs okay?”

“It’s okay now. I’ll bring Adam.”

“okay.”

Adam was a wild horse brought by Aden, the captain of Hopper’s guard. He was raised by feeding him familiar powder, and he gradually grew bigger and stronger.

The dog was so smart that it recognized its owner.

Of course, I liked Benny and not Ronobe, but it didn’t really matter. If I had to ride a horse instead of a carriage, I would definitely ride with Benny.

It would have been embarrassing for a man, but Ronobe had an excuse.

‘I’m a wizard. A weak wizard.’

Tarani, a weak wizard, lives alone in the village.

Wasn’t he the perfect target to be shot by the enemy’s arrows and die? I felt a little guilty about whether it was right to put his wife first, but unlike Ronobe, Beni’s five senses were sensitive and his eyesight was good, so he wasn’t so dull that he would be shot by a blind arrow.

“The gates are opening!!”

At some point, Lord Boladizen appeared with a large warhorse.

“Let’s go! Follow me!!”

It was like an iron horse, with iron covering the head, saddle, and chest area of ​​the horse. The pig riding on it was not cool, but the horse he was carrying was cool.

“Does our Adam have to do something like that? How much does that cost?”

“Well, since it’s iron, I guess I’ll have to give you around thirty gold coins.”

“It’s expensive.”

It’s not at a level where it can’t be done.

But I wonder if it’s really necessary to go that far.

The human heart is so treacherous.

“Adam, let’s go pick up your magic wand!”

Ronobe climbed onto Adam’s back and whistled. Aekku, who had been hiding somewhere, appeared and croaked.

“If there are any knights or wizards, let me know.”

-Caw!

The crow flew up again, croaking, just as Liam appeared with a cart and his men.

“let’s go!”

“Hey!”

That was when.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh!!”

The horse of Lord Boladizen, who was walking ahead, raised its foreleg.

Suddenly a large rock flew in.

Kwaaaaang-!! A huge boulder collapsed the wall.

“Eww! Oh my, eww!”

Boladizen, who had fallen from his horse, grabbed his waist and squealed like a pig.

Since it is heavy, the shock when it falls will be even greater. Of course, he would be more surprised by the existence of the rock flying towards him.

What’s more important is the existence of the stone.

“Hey! It’s a wizard!!”

Among the survivors was a wizard.

I wondered how they were going to wage a siege without even a single siege weapon, but there was a corner of them that believed in everything.

“Here it comes. Here it comes again! It’s a slingshot!”

Boom!! Soldiers were tossed around like the Red Sea as the flying rocks split apart. A large rock slammed into the wall next to the gate, causing the wall to collapse with a thud.

‘A slingshot?’

The wizard running across the burning plains was holding a slingshot.

It’s not even a giant slingshot.

Just a regular slingshot.

What he threw at first were small stones.

But the stones fired by the slingshot expanded in size as they flew.

“It flies and gathers dirt, like a stone…”

“My lord! You must evade!”

Just then, another stone flew in.

Kwaang! The debris from the broken wall splattered onto the soldiers as the stones were thrown into the wall. For a magic that was generated by a crude slingshot, it was quite threatening.

A spell that can destroy walls.

‘At least red. Maybe a wizard closer to white.’

The power of the wizard changes the aspect of war so easily. Even if it’s Ronobedo or that unknown wizard, the game changes when he reveals his power.

Ronobe got off Benny’s horse, feeling an inexplicable sense of elation.

“Ronobe!”

“It’ll be hard to catch that guy normally.”

It’s a guy who throws rocks the size of a strong man’s upper body. Even if you chase after him with words, it won’t be easy to catch him.

Those who lost consciousness in the aftermath of the explosion also gather one by one around the wizard.

“Protect the wizard!”

“For Basti!!”

The holy warriors of the Basti cult.

Another shot from his slingshot shoots through them.

The stone, which was the size of a human eyeball, flew in, collecting dirt and expanding in size. In an instant, it transformed into the size of a human upper body and shot at the approaching soldiers.

but.

“Waves at your feet.”

Bam! Bam!!

The waves were blocked by Ronobe’s ice wall, which seemed to be frozen solid. Ronobe’s magic was also shattered, but this was enough.

“Benny!!”

Benny’s iron bow is fired while riding a horse, and a demonstration is released from the horseback.

Thud-!

A single arrow was fired. In a situation where time seemed to have stopped, an arrow was fired and swam like a fish, quickly flying towards the wizard’s head.

puck-!

“Eww!”

“Protect the wizard!!”

Unfortunately, he was unable to kill the wizard. He was in the middle of the soldiers, so another soldier was shot and fell instead. It was not an ordinary shot, but it pierced the heads and chests of two soldiers.

“Retreat! Retreat!”

Time seemed to pass slowly.

A knight gathering the remaining soldiers, soldiers holding shields, and a magician retreating behind them.

Ronobe met the wizard’s eyes.

The wizard looked at the corner of Ronobe’s mouth.

He was laughing.

A soldier who fell in front of him.

My gaze was drawn to the arrow stuck in my chest without me knowing.

For some reason, the arrow had a sheen to it.

As if it was oiled.

When the wizard’s gaze turned to Ronobe again.

His magic was activated.

“The Oil Painting of Karanqal.”

The red glowing arrows caused the enemies’ faces to become covered in thick soot.

“Damn it…!”

Boom-!!

Bodies were scattered among the explosions.
