At that moment, the werewolf’s claws in front of me were cut like corn stalks and fell limply to the ground.

“Krrrrr!”

Letchil’s gaze naturally moved along the sword that had cut the claws. And there, he could see a man with cold, sunken eyes holding a sword in both hands.

“ah…….”

A person who seemed to be separate from the surrounding situation. In the midst of the chaos where everyone was pushing and running away, a terribly cold calmness was visible in his eyes. At that moment, the man’s gaze turned to Rechil.

“Hornpipe.”

“Uh, yeah?”

“Blow.”

“ah!”

-Phew~.

The platoon leader had entrusted the hornpipe to Rechil, who was assigned to the safest place on the battlefield because she was a woman. Rechil blew the hornpipe with all her might, while her eyes were fixed on Icarone. She felt proud that he knew that she had the hornpipe. And it didn’t take long for that pride to turn into surprise.

Icarone immediately turns around and stabs the werewolf that is attacking from behind with his sword. The werewolf raises its claws, but the sharp sword deftly digs between them and stabs it right in the neck. It was just one attack.

‘Who the hell is this guy… … .’

At that moment, a sharp scream rang out, waking Rechil from his thoughts.

“Eww!”

“Khuuuk!”

Yes, the werewolves’ merciless slaughter continues even at that moment.

Icarone readied his sword and ran to the other werewolves. People were just running away to survive and getting cut down. Those who thought they were only slightly stronger than orcs did not have the courage to face the speed that was beyond imagination. Just as another victim was about to appear, a knight in shining silver armor fell from the sky into the middle of the werewolves.

-Koosh!

The knight quickly looked around with sharp eyes. He was none other than the deputy commander Raven, who had commanded the punitive force with overflowing dignity. He quickly drew his sword and swung it at the werewolf standing before his eyes.

-Shush!

The sound of the wind cutting through, once or twice, was heard. The sword’s trajectory continued as if it were a single line, passing through three werewolves without interruption. Legs, chest, head. Although each passed through a different place, their movements stopped at once.

-Wha-wa-wa!

Almost simultaneously, werewolves are seen being cut down, spurting crimson blood.

‘Isn’t that impossible with the length of that sword?’

It was clear that Raven’s sword only touched the werewolf’s body for a very short time. It was enough to make me wonder how much of a threat that level of impact could be. But for it to be cut so cleanly… … It was a phenomenon that I couldn’t understand.

As Raven was putting back the sword that had not even a drop of blood on it, the sound of horns suddenly began to sound simultaneously.

-Phew~.

-Phew, phew~.

At that sound, Raven pulled out the sword he had been putting away and said.

“It’s finally here…….”

He suddenly pointed the tip of his sword at Icarone.

“You, use your skills to save your platoon members as much as possible. Your pay will increase.”

“Extra allowance?”

Raven had already jumped before he could even see Icarone nodding. When Icarone looked away from him and looked back at the platoon, there had been twelve casualties. It felt like less than a minute, but it was the result of being too defenseless.

Everyone has a blank or hopeless expression. How are you supposed to protect these people? No matter how you calculate it, you can only protect those who are close by when a werewolf attacks another person. That’s two people at most. It seems like you won’t get any extra allowance.

“Aww~!”

“Awww~!”

Werewolves suddenly pour out from all directions, seemingly out of nowhere. This must be what Raven meant when she said, “It’s coming.” The beasts, with their fast speed and high jumping ability, scurry around the punitive force, and the forest is instantly filled with screams.

At that moment, the platoon leader Belun appeared, holding a blood-stained shield in one hand, and shouted at the platoon members who still had not come to their senses.

“Into the cave! The shield guards are following me and blocking the entrance!”

The platoon members who had not heard any of the shouts before, all rushed into the cave, driven by a common instinct to live. Belun, who had been watching them until the end, came in last, looked around at the platoon members, then turned around and raised his shield.

Contrary to first impressions, it seems to be a useful product.

Several large men with shields stood out and stood next to him, as if they had noticed his appearance. The cave was not that big, so five people, including Belun, completely sealed the entrance. It seemed that he was acting as a platoon leader better than expected. Icarone thought that perhaps the damage would not be that great.

Outside, the screams continued unabated. And soon, three shadows appeared at the entrance to the cave. Perhaps they had smelled the blood of their comrades.

“Krrrr……”

The beasts charged, howling in anger. They ran towards Belun’s shield formation, swinging their claws madly.

Behind the shields, brave men stepped forward and repeatedly stabbed with swords and spears, but such blind attacks were unable to cause even a single wound to the werewolves’ excellent movements and dynamic vision.

At that moment, a large number of werewolves appeared again at the entrance of the cave. At least ten of them. How many of them are there outside…? Icarone jumped over the shield formation, stepping on the shoulder of the large man holding the shield. Belun shouted in surprise at the sight.

“Newbie, are you crazy?! Get in here quickly!”

“Stay like this.”

“What, what?”

Most of the platoon members, including Belun, had bewildered expressions on their faces. Among them, only Rechil looked at him with eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation.

Icarone ran towards the werewolves that were running towards him. Three or four of them swung their icy claws at him, but none of them touched his body. Icarone had grown up fighting them in the worst conditions.

He dug into the gap as if dancing, leaving fatal wounds. Soon, the werewolves began to fall one by one.

-Papat.

Icarone’s dagger grazed the neck of one of the werewolves, but the wound was not deep. Icarone thrust his longsword into the beast’s neck again, then pulled back slightly and shouted.

“Long sword!”

People just stared blankly, not understanding what he meant. Icarone threw his dagger at the rushing werewolf, then reached between his shields and roughly pulled out a longsword.

Daggers are easy to use, but in this world, longswords seem more effective. In the past, it was all about ambush-attacks on unarmed people, or even with weapons, a slashing sword with a blade that was only about 30cm long. But here, orcs, werewolves, and even goblins carry weapons that are even longer. I felt the need to get used to longswords from now on.

Icarone felt the weight of the longswords in both hands and was shot back at the werewolf.

At this moment, Rechil and Belun were watching the battle with blank expressions. They only knew him as a survivor who had escaped and survived after being attacked by werewolves. But that movement, the claws that could not be followed by the eyes, and the incompetence to accurately cut off the hearts and necks of those beasts. He was not just lucky enough to survive.

He survived because he was strong.

“Hey! Stop it!”

Sometimes, he felt that he couldn’t do it, so he would block the werewolves coming inward with his shield and hold them back, and without fail, he would come and cut them down. There were over thirty members inside the shield formation, but there was only silence there. All that could be heard was the sound of the werewolf’s claws clashing with Icarone’s sword.

When the number of werewolves that died at the entrance to the cave was more than twenty, Icarone’s shoulder, which was moving slightly slower as if she was tired, was touched by a werewolf’s claw.

-Peshuk!

Icarone turned his body late and dodged, but red blood gushed out from a fairly deep wound. At that moment, Belun, who was watching, shouted.

“Kill that thing! Our platoon is in danger!”

“Wow!”

His screams were the trigger for the platoon members who had been watching from behind, all rushing out and attacking the werewolves. Up until now, they had been stunned by the unrealistic scene, but when he was wounded, they came to their senses. With three of them, and one of them critically wounded, Icarone judged that the platoon members, who had become more courageous, would not have much trouble, so he looked at the people who surrounded him as if they were protecting him, and stopped the bleeding in his shoulder wound.

The platoon members suffered minor injuries while fighting the three, but their morale was high and they easily subdued them with the so-called Daghuri. At that moment, Rechil approached and looked at Icarone with a strange look before turning his gaze and looking at his wounds.

“Ah, are you okay? Icarone…….”

She called his name awkwardly. Icarone, who had roughly tied up his wound, nodded to her, stood up, and spoke to his platoon members.

“Don’t come out.”

If you go out and set up shop because you feel like you’re being ripped off, you’ll be in trouble. The meaning of protecting them will disappear. Icarone left the cave right away, watching everyone nod without saying anything.

As soon as we got outside, screams and groans of pain could be heard here and there.

The 7th Platoon was in a much better situation. The other platoons… … especially the 6th Platoon, where mercenaries were distributed, had more than half of them lying around as corpses. Those who crawled on the floor with their legs cut off, begging for their lives, those who cried while holding the already dead and had their heads cut off. Icarone realized once again that this world was a place that desperately needed strength.

Raven and the knights are running around and doing their best, but it is extremely miserable. The platoon members who followed along without listening to what they were told also whispered weakly as if they had come to terms with the reality of the situation.

“This, this person… it was truly… a stroke of luck that he was in our platoon.”

“I know…….”

“If you know, go in, if you don’t want to die like a dog.”

Icarone took a step forward, threatening them. With Raven and the other knights all on the mercenary side, he wondered who was protecting Lord Ierie. It was because it would be a problem if the person paying the salary died… … but he unconsciously felt that he was the one who had cured the scar on his face.

But, wasn’t the lord standing alone in the center of the entire platoon? Of course, there were no werewolves around, but it wouldn’t have been strange if they were ambushed at any time by those guys with excellent mobility.

I don’t think she can fight without a single weapon. Sometimes there are women with excellent fighting skills, but looking at her muscles and body shape, she doesn’t seem to have great physical ability. Her appearance without a single drop of blood somehow looks more dangerous and delicate.

At that moment, three werewolves appeared, spotted her, and flew up, kicking the ground. She seemed to be afraid, raising both hands as if to shield them. Icarone had no time to think before her feet moved first.

‘Just come this way, just a few meters, and I’ll be fine!’
