Offer a Tribute and Become an Archmage - Chapter 216
Only Noblemtl
Episode 216.
Humans basically have two arms.
Even if you look for other beasts, it is hard to find one with multiple arms. At least, unless it is a crustacean or insect. However, the knight in front of you had four arms and four eyes.
I had no choice but to be confident.
The article from Kochi was correct.
‘Did you wake up when you got hit by the cart earlier? I guess you were lucky…’
It’s definitely a good thing.
It was surprising that the knight who was originally a man had become a woman. It meant that the performance of the dreaming gochi was better than Ronobe had thought. And it also meant that Ronobe could adjust it to some extent. However, I didn’t know it would turn out like this. In fact, it was something I had done half spontaneously, so I never dreamed that it would turn out like this chimera. And it was a little scary when it actually happened.
‘Is it a good thing I don’t have four breasts?’
“Ronobe!”
“Oh, no! I didn’t see it!”
When the surprised Ronobe hurriedly made an excuse, Benny said that was not the case. Benny hurriedly ran over and took the clothes out of the cart and gave them to Dawan’s knight.
“You, put on your clothes first. What’s your name?”
“Name…? I don’t know.”
It seems like there’s a bit of a problem with your memory.
It might have been better. Sometimes it is better to leave a painful past behind. Despite my loyalty, I had no choice but to be killed by my master. Even if it was a death in the name of loyalty, death is death.
“Good. Your name. I’ll give it to you! Since you showed up at a nice time, how about Nas?”
“Nas…”
Nasu knelt down before Ronobe and offered his sword in four hands.
“No, that’s my sword…”
I wondered where he got it from, and it seemed to be the sword Liam had.
‘That kid got it stolen.’
Now it has become Nas’ sword.
Like a knight swearing loyalty, he took Nasu’s sword, tapped his shoulder with the tip of the sword, and returned it.
“Nas. You are now my knight.”
“Until the day I die. The eternal loyalty of a knight.”
Excellent.
Even though he had no memories, his body, which had been a knight his entire life, had not forgotten the mindset and actions of a knight.
“Ronobe. You have to step down.”
It’s good that you got Nas. She is definitely a knight above white.
But being white doesn’t mean you’re invincible. In a battle with this many orcs, white isn’t invincible either.
Now is the time.
Even though the Great Warrior is dead, the number of orcs has not decreased. It is not easy for Ronobe, who has consumed a lot of oil because of Rakaku, to deal with all of them.
“The great warrior is dead!!”
“Rakaku has been defeated!”
“It was an honorable duel! But he died!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“We too must become honorable!”
“Let’s fight! Let’s fight! Let’s fight!”
They were almost like primitive bastards.
“If you lose the duel, you should step down, you punks! Then why on earth did you do this!”
It was unfair, but it was not the time to argue about such things. Thump, thump! The orcs started jumping down from the walls. Some of them slipped and broke their legs, but what was important was that they jumped down without fear. They were so tough that it was shocking.
“There are too many.”
Benny, who is constantly shooting arrows, and Nass and Liam, who are immediately cutting down orcs, secure a retreat route.
Kookoo gugu goong! Boom!!
Peter and Lirun were also active.
Peter had already blasted his golem with a sound wave, causing significant damage. However, the wall collapsed, allowing more orcs to easily burst out.
“The vine of seeds!”
Lirun blocks them with vines, and Ronobe slows the orcs’ advance with water-soaked thread.
“Retreat! Retreat! Abandon the cart! Only spare the carriage!”
Unfortunately, we couldn’t take all the supplies from the wagon.
“Retreat! Stop it!”
The private soldiers block the advancing orcs with shields, while Benny and Ronobe climb up on the wagon and shoot arrows and cast spells.
“The window at your feet.”
It’s hard to write without moisture.
But it was not that it was hard to use. Furthermore, the blood fountains were spurting in as the orcs surged forward. If there was this much blood, it would be very easy to freeze the blood itself and make spears. Anna’s magic was to freeze blood and gather moisture in the air to freeze it. Freezing the blood itself without having to gather water was as easy as blinking. It was a fact that I realized anew.
Crack, crack!!
“You fight well. Is this worth doing?”
Originally, running away was the right thing to do.
But when I watched them fight for a while, I noticed that one person was fighting exceptionally well.
Of course, Dawan’s article.
A nice woman, Nas. With her four arms and four eyes, she was wielding different weapons or swinging them together, and was annihilating the orcs with surprising speed. She looked more like a spider than a person, but her face was also quite good, so she looked like a Valkyrie shining on the battlefield.
“Now that you’re awake, how can you fight so well?”
Ronobe’s eyes lit up.
His gaze soon turned to the other soldiers, who all they saw were grubs who were doing nothing but holding shields and blocking others, and who were just eating their food.
‘Combine them all together?’
I got greedy because there was a synthetic article that turned out to be correct.
‘No. If you bring along a bunch of soldiers with multiple arms, you might get branded a devil…’
It may be possible for one person to do so, but if several people show up, there is a problem. It is okay because Nas is pretty, but if men become Dawan, it is extremely vicious.
For now, I had to be satisfied with just Nas. It was okay for now, since Nas was a true one-man army.
“This is the knight. We finally have a decent knight.”
Beni glared at Ronobe, flinching from the side. Ronobe coughed in vain, feeling stung, and used the Golhonyu language.
There are quite a few souls gathered.
It was possible to summon larger and more Bone Souls. The good thing about Bone Souls is that as long as the number of souls supports it, you can summon dozens or hundreds of them.
As the number of Bone Souls grew and began to chew on the flesh of the orcs’ calves and thighs, the advance of the waves slowed noticeably.
“Ugh!”
Bam!! With the presence of Nas running around the battlefield, the situation of the battle began to change as he slaughtered the hesitant orcs.
“Eww!!”
The private soldiers also knew that and continued to fight even harder. Surprisingly, Peter’s performance was better than expected.
Kuuung!!
Peter, with the magic of sound waves and leather soaked in the earth, lifts the earthen skin with difficulty and wraps his enemies like a flower bud, using sound waves inside them.
To be honest, the sound wave itself is a pretty good attack technique. Even tough orcs couldn’t help but take damage from Peter’s magic.
‘Rilun is doing well too.’
Lirun only sows seeds to catch the enemy’s ankles, but that’s enough. The moment the captured orc looks down, Liam and Nas’s swords cut through the orc’s neck. Jok… It seemed like there was nothing he could do but pee. I understood.
“What I just did was my share.”
“as you please.”
Liam seemed to have an inferiority complex towards Nas for no reason, but it’s not a bad thing. Even a guy who was content playing the leader will have a sense of improvement because of Nas’s presence.
“Still, there are a lot…”
Even so, there are many. They are holding up well, but somehow the number of orcs shows no sign of decreasing. Thud! Unable to bear the thought of falling from the walls, the orcs break down the walls that were blocking them and reinforce them.
Ronobe concentrated on the slowly moving carriage. He took the oil jar from the cart and drew out as much oil as he could. He used the plague worm with the oil and used the soul offering to make the oil sticky.
Half instead of ten as before.
Add five and compress the oil.
Use a spindle.
Mosquitoes stick to the compressed oil and move slowly inside.
“The plague’s ramblings.”
As soon as he used his magic, Ronobe evacuated all of his soldiers.
“Everyone get out of here!!”
At Ronobe’s shout, even the private soldiers and Nasuma hurriedly returned and flew away.
Immediately after that.
Kwaaaaang-!!
A huge explosion occurred.
Benny and Ronobe lowered themselves from the carriage as the sharp, ear-piercing wind howled.
“Ugh.”
Although the firepower was lower than that used in Boladigen, it was definitely powerful. Beep- A tinnitus was heard and his ears were blocked, making it difficult to hear the sounds of the battlefield. However, Ronobe shouted even then.
“Now is the time! Retreat!!”
If you want to escape, now is the time.
Now that the giant explosion had stopped their movements, I had to run away. I still had some oil left, but I had to conserve it. I didn’t know when or where another battle would break out.
“Nas! Liam!!”
At Lonobe’s shout, Liam led his men and Nas followed, slaughtering the orcs that were pursuing him like leeches.
“Let’s go!”
“Hey!”
As I turned around to urge the trembling coachman and guide, I saw that Nas had already taken Liam’s steed and was killing the orcs. With one hand holding the reins and the other holding the weapons he had taken, Nas looked like a knight from a myth, displaying his prowess.
“Poor Liam…”
Even though he knew that his beloved horse had been taken away, he couldn’t say a word. Alex, the warhorse, must have liked Nas so much that he followed Nas’s orders as if he had known his beloved horse for decades. That was the difference between the powerful and the powerless.
But thanks to Nas, they were able to retreat without much damage.
*
That night.
Ronobe blocked the nearby cave with ice and set up camp. The cave was quite cramped, but he used magic to widen and refine the space, creating space for his carriages and horses, as well as a place to sleep his men. Unfortunately, he had to camp here.
As we were setting up base camp, Nasu and his horse soon appeared.
With one hand holding the reins and the other holding a weapon, Nasu was truly the goddess of the battlefield. To be honest, she was a little scary, but she was still strong for Ronobe.
“Nas! My loyal knight!”
When Ronobe welcomed her so well, the soldiers all applauded and welcomed her. They weren’t fools. They knew who they had survived there today. Liam also clapped with a shit-eating face, as if he wasn’t going to deny the fact.
“You’re late. Are you feeling okay?”
“it’s okay.”
“You’re wounded, aren’t you? Wait. I’ll give you a potion.”
Ronobe took a potion out of his bosom and poured it on his hands and arms to remove the bruises, and made him drink one just in case. Even if Nasu was okay, Ronobe was not okay. It was a great article that he had finally obtained. The performance she had shown today was so great that it would be difficult to repay it with just this amount.
“Nas. No, Sir Nas. The bravery you showed today has left a deep impression on all of our hearts. We have seen the figure of a hero. So take heart.”
Nasu dismounted from his steed and knelt before Ronobe again. Nasu, kneeling on one knee and bowing his head, looked like the true appearance of a pious knight to anyone who saw him. He was on a completely different level from the sly knight Liam.
“Yeah. You still don’t remember?”
“Yes. I only have vague memories, and the rest are nonexistent. But I remember one thing.”
“What?”
“Before I die, these are the words my lord spoke to me out of love.”
“… Me? Is it me?”
Nas nodded.
And then he blurted out what Ronobe had said.
“Dream. Dream without dying. I remember you saying, ‘The dream of the knight you wanted to become.’ I remember that very clearly.”
“ah…”
right.
That’s definitely what Ronobe said.
When they were dying by Kael, Ronobe felt compassion for them. So when he used the dreaming gochi, he blurted out those words without realizing it.
Don’t die, but live and become a knight.
I remember telling him not to be one of those knights who fight with honor and die without being able to fight with honor, but to become his own knight and fight with honor.
‘It’s something I quickly forgot about.’
It seems like it wasn’t for Nas.
Even though I had become a completely new being, I still remembered that much.
“So you protected me as soon as you woke up?”
“I thought it had to be that way. My mind was a bit confused, but I could hear my lord’s voice clearly.”
When I became a novice, was it because I was whispered to become a knight whenever I had the chance?
Or maybe something else?
To be honest, I didn’t know Ronobe very well.
But it probably doesn’t matter much.
The important thing is that he became his own knight and achieved great things.
“Well… I came back alive.”
Ronobe patted Nasu’s shoulder, who was twice as big as him, and spoke. He was big even though he was on one knee. His body was as hard as a rock, with muscles. The power that cut Rakaku’s body was here.
“I can’t dress my knight in such a piece of cloth. Given the circumstances, I can’t make you a suit of armor. But I can make something else.”
There is no way that she has enough plate armor to be a four-armed knight’s armor, even though she has spare armor. And since she doesn’t have a skilled blacksmith or tinker who can adjust armor, it’s hard to get armor. But she can’t just leave her to wear only cloth.
“Ron, Tibal. Bring it.”
Ronobe had Ron bring the orc entrails and their hands. Ronobe smirked as he looked at Nasu, who didn’t know what was going on.
“I will give you a reward.”
Ronobe reached out and took the orc’s hand, four in number.
‘A firm victory by the hands of the enemy general.’
Of course, if you use it like this, it will collapse before long. However, Ronobe now knows what to put in here.
‘tribute.’
If you hit the high-quality soul of an orc, the magical power increases greatly. Then, what happens if you put the soul into Vivian’s magic? I had forgotten for a while, but when I saw Nas’s hand, it came to mind right away.
“A firm victory by the hands of the enemy general.”
Ten souls for each orc hand.
Ronobe, who had created four gauntlets, placed them on her hands himself.
“ah…”
Not only Nas, but also the other soldiers watched this scene with astonished eyes. In response, Ronobe even handed her an iron sword made from the entrails of a soul that had been struck down.
It was a greatsword that suited her.
Also known as the entrails sword.
It was a large sword that even Ronobe could hardly lift, but Nasu lifted it easily. He didn’t even lift it with both hands, but only with one arm and swung it. It was made into a sword considering Nasu’s physique, and he seemed to like it very much. Nasu carefully put the sword down and looked at Ronobe.
“Will you be my knight?”
In response to his question, Nass bowed his head and brought his hand to his chest.
“Forever.”
Ronobe greeted Nasu happily.
