The Immortal Genius Spearman (107)
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The man who had been digging the ground with the pickaxe he was holding straightened his back.
Well developed arm muscles.
The forearm muscles that held the pickaxe had veins that looked like earthworms.
Moreover, a man with long bangs covering the left side of his face despite it being a hot day.
The third platoon leader of the Maxtree unit was Paul.
“… … Phew.”
Paul let out a long sigh and looked around.
Everyone was digging with a pickaxe, keeping an eye on the guards.
The guards would yell at or whip the guys who were taking a short break because they were tired, and discipline them on the spot.
They were all criminals who had been brought in to serve time in prison like himself.
‘… … 5 months, I guess.’
It’s already been five months since Paul came here.
He could have just gone to prison, but coming here was purely Paul’s choice.
It was because they said that the one-year penalty would be reduced by half.
But most guys wouldn’t choose this place unless they were brought there by force.
This is because each day was a life worse than that of a slave.
But Paul didn’t care about that.
I just wanted to get rid of these bonds as soon as possible.
“Phew.”
Memories that come to mind from time to time.
The shouts of victory at Maxtree were vivid as if it were yesterday.
Paul had a small smile on his face as he recalled that memory.
“Hey, what are you doing! Aren’t you going to get to work quickly?”
The guard on watch shouted at Paul, who immediately turned his head and lifted his pickaxe again.
If you move even a little late, the whip will come flying.
Bang!
There are now two months left.
If he can hold out for that long, his prison term will be completely over.
‘When that time comes… … .’
Can I go back there again?
No, can I go to him?
Even while doing hard labor, he never stopped training his physical strength whenever he had time.
Because that was the best Paul could do here.
If I think about it, has there ever been a time when I worked as hard as I did at something and was as happy as I remember back then?
‘… … What is Damian doing?’
Perhaps he is driving his own men to death?
A small smile appeared on Paul’s lips at that thought.
* * *
Wow!
“Huh!”
The spear that had been extending straight ahead suddenly rotated sideways, knocking back the knight on the side.
‘He’s a guy who’s used to fighting multiple people.’
‘Where on earth did this guy suddenly come from?’
Still a young appearance.
No matter how many times you look at him, his appearance is such that he can only be seen as someone in his late teens.
But does it make sense that they, who have been wielding swords for over 20 years, are being pushed around like this?
The shame of joining forces had long since disappeared.
The knights of the Rose Knights gritted their teeth in an attempt to catch the guy somehow.
“Ugh!”
One of the Rose Knight knights strode to the left and swung his sword at Damian.
Damian glanced at him as the attack surged forward in a semicircle.
The tip of the foot slightly inward.
Sloping shoulders and straight wrists.
In an instant, he confirmed the gaze of the guy looking at him.
Damien straightened his back and tilted his head back slightly.
Because what the guy was aiming for was his own left neck.
But the moment you raise your head and take a step back.
Fit!
“… … !”
Damien frowned at the stinging sensation he felt momentarily near his left jaw.
The tip of the guy’s sword narrowly missed Damien’s jaw.
Knock!
Damian jumped back in surprise.
But there were already other knights behind.
“The guy’s movements have slowed down! Keep hitting him!”
It was a very shallow wound.
A wound that doesn’t even leave a scar, let alone a few drops of blood.
But considering the ghostly movements he’s shown so far, something is wrong with him too.
“He’s tired too! Attack the legs!”
“Ugh!”
It was clear that his movements had become much slower than before.
If you look closely, the hand holding the window was also shaking slightly.
“Phew.”
Then Damien took a deep breath and spun around with the spear tucked under his side.
Chaechaechaechaechae!
The knights who were rushing towards Damian quickly raised their swords and defended themselves.
The Rose Knight knights were thrown back by his spinning attack like a top.
They felt a chill down their spine from the blow just now.
‘Until now… … .’
‘Is this strength still there?’
What the hell is this guy, a monster?
Ridiculous reflexes.
Unpredictable attacks.
Is it good for physical strength too?
Doesn’t this just make no sense?
Milo couldn’t hide his bewildered expression, as if he had met a monster.
but.
Knock… knock… knock… .
A drop of sweat runs down Damien’s chin.
To be honest, Damien was also starting to reach his limit.
‘……it’s tough.’
Have you ever been so cornered since you came back to life?
Although they had killed two of them in the meantime, four knights still remained, including the enemy commander.
Milo said as he looked at Damien.
“Give up, and I will spare your life.”
Unbelievable skills for a young age.
If only I could persuade this guy and bring him to the Empire… … .
‘The Knights of the Rose Knights can once again rise to the top of the Empire.’
Milo himself possessed swordsmanship skills that were among the best in the empire.
However, the limitation was that the aura could not be used.
But Milo could say for sure.
This guy is stronger than me.
Especially since he still has a lot of potential for growth.
If you raise them well… … .
‘You could become the next commander of the Rose Knights.’
As the successor to General Fiarren, who was called a monster even within the empire.
Milo reached out to Damian.
“Surrender. Then I will open a path that you cannot even imagine.”
“……what?”
“I will accept you as a knight of Rose Knight. I will forget everything you did before.”
“… … You’ll accept me as a Rose Knight?”
“okay.”
Milo chuckled at that.
If he had ears, he would have heard of the Imperial Rose Knights.
‘The Baroque kingdom may be of considerable size, but it cannot compare to the empire.’
Mild continued.
“If you have a family, I will take responsibility for them all. I, as the Vice-Chief of Rose Knight, promise.”
“Whew… … That sounds like an interesting story.”
Damien let his guard down slightly and took a deep breath.
Before I knew it, my pounding heart seemed to calm down a little.
Damian asked Milo.
“By the way, there’s something I’d like to ask. Can I ask it?”
“As much as you want.”
“I need one thing if I want to go to the Empire, and I was wondering if you could give it to me.”
“Anything is possible. The position of Vice-Captain of Rose Knight is much higher than you might think.”
Milo answered confidently.
Although it has been a big mistake to lose subordinates so far, it would be a greater achievement if we can bring in someone with such skills.
Damian said at Milo’s words.
“I wish you would give me the Emperor’s head.”
“……what?”
“Whew, thanks to you I got enough rest. Then shall we start again?”
Before I knew it, my breathing had stabilized and my hands had stopped shaking.
My legs also felt lighter… … .
“I can do it again like this.”
Milo’s expression, which had been smiling at those words, cooled down.
Finally, the guy grabbed his sword tightly.
“Again… … I’ve been hit by your three-inch tongue.”
“The guy who got hurt is a retard.”
Damien laughed, lifting the window.
Then Milo said, gritting his teeth.
“You will never die easily. I promise on my honor.”
“I can never die easily. I will kill you all.”
“Hit!”
Pavat!
At Milo’s command, three knights rushed towards Damian.
And at the very back.
Sling.
Milo moved his sword and aimed at Damian.
Pavat!
Four connections.
Among them, Milo’s attacks were particularly sharp and threatening.
but…….
‘Compared to that time, it’s still doable.’
Memories of that time when I resisted to the end, even though my flesh was torn and my bones were broken.
If there was a difference, it would be that my body was a little more grown back then?
‘If my arms were a little longer, I could have reached it faster.’
If my legs were a little longer, I might be able to run backwards faster.
At that moment, several thoughts came to mind.
Sigh.
Damian’s eyes gleamed as he watched the knights rushing towards him.
No matter what the past was.
“It can’t get any better than now.”
Woof woof woof!
The spear in Damian’s hand vibrated slightly, and blue magic wrapped around his entire body.
Pavat!
Swaaaak!
Damien, who had been moving defensively until now, ran forward towards them and swung his spear.
No matter how many guys there are, the sword can never reach the spear before it does.
“Coming!”
Jjeong!
In the blink of an eye, two consecutive strikes pushed back the two knights in front of him.
The fact that they were able to block this attack so accurately shows how skilled they are.
For ordinary soldiers, it would have been impossible to even follow it with their eyes, let alone stop it.
‘It’s a tremendous acceleration.’
Milo narrowed his eyes as he watched Damien attack.
How could you make such an attack with a body that is still young?
If you were to do it with just physical force, your elbows and wrist joints would already be worn out and torn.
Presumably, there is only one thing that makes it possible.
‘Is it something that instantly amplifies magical power?’
If you can control your magical power at an absurd level, it might be possible.
But even that would only be possible in theory.
“Ugh!”
Milo roared and dove to the right, swinging his sword at Damian’s left leg.
From bottom to top.
The diagonal sword strike aimed for Damian’s left thigh, which was protruding forward.
Damian frowned at the attack and hastily pulled his leg back.
Fit!
In that moment, his sword lightly touched my thigh, and red blood sprayed into the air like a thread.
‘shit.’
I knew it.
That guy is going to attack there.
But unlike other knights, the speed and timing of his sword swings were absolutely insane.
From Damien’s point of view.
In his current state of low stamina, he was unable to completely dodge Milo’s sword while defending against the attacks of other knights.
It meant that the limit was now slowly approaching.
Chomp!
“Huh!”
Damian stepped back, blocking the guys’ attacks. However, Milo’s determined attacks were slowly starting to accumulate wounds on Damian’s body.
“… … Still, I think it’s my victory.”
Damien, who had a frown on his lips, said:
Milo’s eyes turned cold at that.
“What are you trying to do now!”
“It’s not a joke.”
Damian nodded backwards. At the same time, Milo looked back in surprise.
“It’s the deputy commander!”
“How dare these little bastards!”
Kaion’s forces are running towards Damian.
Before long, the knights of the Rose Knights had become cold corpses and were lying all over the hill.
At that sight, Damian extended his spear towards Milo and said.
“It is our victory, the Rose Knights.”
And in an instant, Damien’s spear began to blow a wind of blood.
