◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (179)

“what?!”

Snap!

Semut grabbed Nickel by the collar without realizing it.

Semut shouted, feeling as if sparks were flashing from both his eyes.

“So you left me alone?”

“That, that…! Ugh!”

Nickel, who was grabbed by the collar, made a pained expression. At that, Semut let go of the collar he was holding with an exclamation of “Oops.”

I know.

It’s not Nickel’s fault.

Didn’t Nickel also do the best he could in that situation?

No, rather, the situation of having to leave Zedron behind would have been more painful.

‘Wake up, you crazy bastard… …!’

Semut shook his head vigorously and collected his wits.

What if the most senior person in the group wavers?

Then Semut looked at Nickel and said.

“Sorry, I got a little excited.”

“it’s okay.”

“When exactly did the battle take place?”

“About 20 minutes have passed.”

“20 minutes… Where is it?”

“I remember.”

“Okay, first let’s go to the place where we met the guys.”

Please, please.

Although his heart was pounding with anxiety, Semut tried to remain calm and started moving with his men.

In the worst case scenario, a fight could break out, so moving at a controlled pace was the priority.

Knock knock! Pavabat!

Nickel, who had been running in front, slowly reached his destination and turned his gaze towards Semut.

Semut nodded and clenched his fist.

“Move slowly and breathe evenly.”

There is no fighting, as no clashing of arms or screams are heard.

In other words, this means that the battle is already over.

‘Please… … Zedron.’

Semut walked forward, praying to God, that Zedron’s body would not be found.

And when we reached our destination with Nickel’s guidance,

“for a moment.”

Semut whispered softly and quickly moved towards the bushes, bending down.

Because there were already other orcs lined up at the place Nickel had mentioned.

Swish.

Semut looked at Nickel. Nickel shook his head.

It was difficult to distinguish their appearances exactly, but the weapons they were holding and their clothing were slightly different from the guys we met earlier.

‘Are the other guys here?’

Plus the guys’ movements.

Judging by their appearance, which seemed to be searching for something, they were probably reinforcements who had heard the sounds of battle nearby.

And so about ten minutes passed without any sign of activity.

As the guys who had been looking around left, Semut carefully moved to where they had been.

“Mr. Semut, there is a bloodstain here.”

“Here too.”

Bloodstains were found scattered here and there, but Semut was looking for something else.

The fact that his body isn’t here means that he didn’t continue fighting recklessly.

And then something caught Semut’s eye as he was wandering around the floor.

“……?”

Nickel approached Semut, who was suddenly reaching out to the floor.

“Why are you doing that?”

“These are Zedron’s footprints.”

Unlike the others, the marks were a little deeper. What was important was the direction.

Semut took a few steps in the direction the footsteps were pointing.

Strangely enough, the blood trail no longer continues in that direction.

That means,

“The blood that’s spilled here isn’t Zedron’s. And…….”

This means that Zedron ran away in this direction.

Nickel said, secretly admiring his quick judgment.

“Then shall we move this way?”

“No, some of the guys who were searching here earlier headed this way. Probably all the orcs in the village will come out.”

It’s enough to confirm that Zedron isn’t dead.

But there’s no guarantee that he’ll remain safe.

Semut stood up from his seat.

“We must hurry back to the territory. We must report to Lord Lian.”

I have no choice but to lead the main force and come back here.

The other unit members nodded at Semut’s words and quickly started to return.

* * *

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Is this angry footstep Kutamkar?

Takuman looked at Kutamkar, who was approaching with a stern expression.

Then Kutamkar spoke to Takuman.

“Chief Takuman! The humans have invaded!”

“…….”

Was that the reason for the warriors’ movements earlier?

A slight wrinkle appeared between Takuman’s eyebrows.

Because I never thought humans could move this quickly.

Kutamkar said to him.

“I will lead the warriors and go attack the humans. If we hesitate like this, the humans may take away our opportunity.”

“…….”

“What are you worrying about! We must move before humans do!”

“I can’t allow it.”

Takuman spoke firmly.

Because fighting those humans now would be like sending the warriors to their deaths.

At Takuman’s words, Kutamkar growled, baring his fangs.

“Don’t lose your dignity as the chieftain of the Iron Fang tribe any longer, Takuman. Right now, you’re nothing more than a scared little dog.”

“what?”

Takuman asked with his eyes sparkling. Kutamkar did not back down and said.

“If you are afraid, then don’t come forward. This time, I will come with the warriors who follow me and attack the humans.”

“Kuthamkar!”

“It’s no use trying to stop him, Takuman!”

A strong momentum collided between the two, as if sparks were flying.

Takuman kept his mouth shut as he looked at Kutamkar, who showed no intention of bending.

Is it really inevitable that it will end up like this?

Takuman said within.

“Okay, but go with Volkan instead. Then I will allow you.”

“Volkan? That weak warrior is unnecessary.”

“Then I cannot allow it.”

Takuman spoke firmly. Kutamkar frowned at that, then nodded.

“Good, but you must keep in mind that the command is mine.”

“good night.”

“Hehehe.”

As soon as Takuman gave his permission, Kutamkar immediately gathered all the warriors who followed him.

There are only about three hundred warriors, but they are more than enough to attack humans.

And when all preparations were complete, Kutamkar pointed straight to Adelant and said:

“The Iron Fang Tribe has no need for cowards. I don’t know what kind of people are coming……”

Kutamkar’s eyes were filled with more confidence than ever.

“I will once again instill fear of us in the bones of mankind.”

“Koooooooooo-!”

“As expected, Kutamkar! The strongest warrior of the Steel Fang Tribe!”

“We want a strong Kutamkar rather than a weak Takuman!”

Kutamkar’s lips twitched at the shouts of the warriors following him.

‘If I come back after this battle is over… … .’

Kutamkar’s desire for the next thing flashed in his eyes. And,

“let’s go-!”

“Koooooooooooooooooo-!”

With the roar of his warriors, Kutamkar moved towards Adelant.

And at the same time,

“…….”

Takuman, who was watching Kutamkar and the warriors leaving, turned his gaze towards the outskirts of the camp and began to walk slowly in that direction.

* * *

“Ugh…… Ugh…… Ugh…… Ugh…….”

The injury is serious.

Zedron gasped for breath, pressing the blood flowing from his side with his hand.

‘Damn it, that last piglet… …!’

I managed to fend off a dozen or so black orcs and escape. No, the moment I thought I had succeeded, the guy’s final blow came from behind.

A guy who exuded an extraordinary aura, unlike other guys.

‘He was like a combination of Kyle and Brandt.’

It had a body as solid as steel and had fairly nimble movements.

He ended up getting injured because he didn’t expect that kind of acceleration to happen in an instant.

“……ha.”

I managed to shake them off, but somehow I ended up coming closer to their base.

Even the orcs who went out to search because it was dark under the lamp did not come this way.

They probably never thought that a human would be hiding right in front of their position.

But that’s not the problem.

‘It’s bigger than I thought.’

If you think of it as just a bunch of monsters, you could be in big trouble.

For a village this size, the number of these guys must be at least a thousand.

No, maybe twice that.

‘Why on earth didn’t anyone do anything about this huge herd of orcs…?’

Anyway, I have to report this part clearly.

‘The tax money must have already gone back.’

It was a bloody fight, but he probably would have found traces of himself alive at the scene.

For now, all we can do is hide and wait.

“Is this the place?”

“……! Ugh!”

Suddenly, a sound came from behind and Jedron jumped up in surprise.

His expression became distorted as blood gushed from the wound.

But what I needed to worry about more than that right now was the orc that had approached me without a sound.

It was at least a head larger than the orcs we had fought earlier, and it gave off an incredible sense of pressure just by standing there.

“Uh, when……?”

Zedron picked up the spear lying next to him.

I felt a sense of oppression as if I was being crushed, but I hadn’t endured all that hellish training to die in a place like this.

Zedron bit his lip tightly.

I thought about running away, but quickly gave up on the thought.

‘It’s over in one blow.’

If you run away in your current state, you will most likely be caught right away.

Besides, you shouldn’t drag out the fight for too long.

Just one room.

I plan to finish it in one go.

Takuman, who was in front of the action, looked down at Zedron and spoke quietly.

“It is useless resistance.”

“shut up!”

Before he could even sense the strangeness of an orc speaking the language of the kingdom, Zedron kicked the ground and ran towards him.

With a strong kick, Zedron twisted the spear he was holding and stretched his right hand forward.

It was the simplest movement, but it was the stab that was practiced the most for a long time.

The spear, which extended as if it were an arrow shot in front of his eyes, spun around and aimed for Takuman’s chest.

The moment Takuman, who was in front of him, tried to raise his arm,

Whirl!

The extended spear changed its path and reached out to the guy’s left thigh.

Although it was a technique that put a lot of strain on the wrist and elbow joints, now was not the time to consider various circumstances.

It is not something you can use often because it puts a lot of strain on your body, but

‘I can’t avoid this… …!’

It was at that very moment that Zedron’s spear pierced Takuman’s thigh.

chin!

“……?”

It felt unreal for a moment because I was caught so easily.

Zedron looked up at the guy in confusion. And then, crunch!

“Kuaaaaaaah!”

The guy’s fist slammed into Zedron’s wounded left side, causing a strange sound.

At least four or more.

The ribs were shattered and blood gushed from the wounds.

The moment Zedron screamed and stepped back,

“Stay asleep.”

puck!

With a dull thud, Takuman’s fist, like a giant hammer, struck Zedron’s jaw.

dump.

Then, Zedron fell to the floor like a puppet whose strings had been cut and lost consciousness.

Swish.

Takuman lifted the fallen Zedron onto his shoulder and glanced towards Adelant where Kutamkar had moved.

* * *

“Isaac.”

“I will prepare it right away.”

Semut returned with bad news.

I didn’t mean to blame Zedron or them.

To begin with, Zedron and Semut were the guys among the Arrowhead unit who had outstanding infiltration and reconnaissance abilities.

‘If such careful guys got hurt like this… … .’

As Semut reports, we should not think of them as a common orc tribe.

Lian immediately put on his armor, grabbed his bow, and went outside.

Raymond and Varus were also already busy preparing their troops.

And the preparations were quickly completed.

Less than an hour after Semut returned, some of the original Arrowhead units were ready for battle.

Lian looked at the prepared troops.

Excluding the new recruits, we only prepared about half of the troops to protect Adelant.

Lian looked at Diehl and Raymond.

“You two, please guard this place.”

“Hmm… I see.”

“Be careful.”

Raymond looked somewhat disappointed, but did not go any further.

Lian looked straight at his men and said.

“I’m sure you’ve all heard the story, but Zedron, who went out on reconnaissance, never returned.”

At those words, everyone nodded with a stern expression.

It’s commonplace in Arrowhead to have five hundred men move for just one person.

“According to Semut, Zedron is still alive. And whether it’s true or not, the Arrowhead unit thinks he’s alive until they see the body of their comrade.”

“”yes-!!””

Every member of the Arrowhead unit answered loudly. Everyone was ready to go at a moment’s notice.

Lian nodded and said.

“I’m going to battle.”

“Lee, Lian!”

As soon as the order to advance was given, one of the sentries who had been watching down the hill came running urgently.

The gaze of the executives, including Lian, turned to him. Then the guard shouted.

“Oh, a horde of orcs are coming!”
