191 Raise the flag of the empire
“!”
Rudy’s gaze moved to the man’s hand in the corner of the room.
The man’s hand was falling from a wick that had just come out of a tree trunk.
The tip of the burning wick quickly hides inside the pillar.
The moment I saw it, I knew what the situation was like.
‘It’s a fuse.’
My body moved before I thought.
Rudy instantly dropped his sword and used his fingertips to create a magic shield.
At the same time, he spoke to Levin behind his back.
“Levin, don’t come into the room. Don’t stand in front of me.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
At the same time as Levin answered, a film of energy stretched out from Rudy’s hand and crossed the air in the captain’s quarters.
An electrical film as thin as vinyl stretches, radiating light as if spreading fog.
Because I couldn’t control the power, the output was the best.
The magic power, stronger than at any other time, burned the cross section of the object so quickly that it was invisible and cut straight through the air.
A thin line appeared wherever the magic shield touched.
As the magical shield touched the bottom of the pillar where the wick had burned, a long horizontal line formed on the wall.
Almost at the same time, Captain Arubaso, right in front of him, had his magic shield hit his leg.
The legs were still standing, but the captain’s body leaned forward and fell like a stone statue.
“Ughhhhh!”
Unaware of what had happened to his body, the enemy captain fell to the ground screaming.
Captain Arubaso lay on the floor, eyes wide open, staring at his legs.
Red blood gushed out of the cut leg. The legs that were standing tall then lost their strength and fell to the floor.
“oh my god.”
The captain takes a breath and speaks softly.
Rudi tilted the horizontally spread magic shield sideways and slightly shook it without paying attention to it.
The place where the magic shield touched turned to ash and scattered, creating a space.
The wick is slightly visible between the cut pillars. I was finally relieved when I made sure it wasn’t on fire.
The wick burned from the top disappeared without a trace and turned to dust.
Rudy approached the pole containing the wick.
Look into a deep, dark hole. The wick was stretched out and swallowed in darkness. The thought that the tip had reached the powder keg made me terrified.
Captain Arubaso was still screaming. When I glanced at the captain, Levin stood close behind me and asked.
“Your Majesty, can I get you a knife?”
When he reached out his hand without saying a word, Levin politely placed the knife on it.
When I cast a spell on the sword that gave off a cold light, the sword immediately hummed and glowed.
Swing the sword in a zigzag motion towards the floor.
Captain Arubaso opened his mouth wide with his eyes wide open, and he scattered to the floor in pieces.
There was a loud roar from above.
“Looks like the situation is over.”
Levin said in a soft voice and laughed.
“Ah, by the way.”
Rudy looked at the captain’s room he had cut out and let his shoulders droop slightly.
“What about this? It’s messed up.”
I hadn’t been in a hurry before, but after the work was over, I thought it was too much.
It seems that the magic shield was not limited to the captain’s office, but extended to the side next to it.
One wall was completely cracked and I could see through it, but several spaces were completely cut out.
I was thinking about the future, but I was wrong.
“Obviously, you’ve gone too far.”
Levin giggled.
“…”
It was my first naval battle, so I made a lot of mistakes.
“There is a saying that failure is the mother of success. Next time I’ll do better.”
“Is there such a word? I’ve never heard of it.”
“…”
Rudy shrugged and left the captain’s room with Levin.
At some distance, the escort soldiers followed. The escort soldiers tightly surrounded Rudy while being wary of the dark interior.
Heading to the stairs at the end, I saw imperial soldiers descending to the gun deck.
One of the captains who spotted Rudy hurriedly ran.
“Your Majesty, all enemies on the deck have been suppressed. We are currently circling the gun deck to check the remaining enemies.”
The captain said with a smile on his square face.
“The enemy might be hiding in a corner. Please be careful.”
“Yes, you be careful too.”
“Of course, Your Majesty. A wife like a wolf and children like rabbits are waiting for you at home.”
hahahaha, laughing loudly, the captain left, and Rudi suddenly remembered Lilitha’s face waiting in the palace.
‘Can I say that next year I have a child like a rabbit waiting for me?’
Now that I’m only 20 years old and married and the father of a baby, I feel a little strange.
As we climbed onto the deck, the enemy soldiers gathered and knelt down. A few enemy soldiers are slightly out in front of the group.
The captain of the Putegrin Empire approached and said.
“Those in front of me are captains who are not directly involved in the operation of the ship. What should we do?”
“These are the ones who tried to invade our country. Hang yourself as an example.”
“I understand, Your Majesty.”
Rudy looked at the enemy prisoners who were massed and resting their foreheads on the ground. Most were terrified, but a few were glaring at the imperial soldiers with stern eyes.
Rudy stopped the captain who was about to turn.
From nob le mt l dot com
Did you call it bravely?
“There are some guys whose eyes are still alive. Pick one or two of them and kill them completely.”
Rudy glanced at them with a cold expression. speak calmly
“Don’t do something lukewarm like a whip. Inflicting fear at once would rather reduce the damage. One person pulls out his tongue in front of them. If the spirit is still alive, cut off both hands and then both feet.”
“yes.”
The captain smiled and bowed his head.
Rudy turned his gaze away from the captain and looked out to sea.
It seems that the situation has ended on the other ships as well. There were several ships with flags of the Putegrin Empire.
“Raise the flag of the Empire, Levin. From now on, this ship belongs to the Empire.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Levin bowed politely and turned away.
Immediately, Levin’s loud voice echoed across the deck.
“Raise the flag of the Empire!”
“Waaa!”
The cheers of the Putegrin soldiers resonated throughout the ship.
The screams of captured enemy soldiers could be heard from behind Rudy standing on the boat. It seems that he pulled out his tongue as Rudy ordered.
Unable to look back, Rudy raised his head arrogantly and looked at the distant sea.
As if trying to stop the prisoner’s screams, Levin and the escort soldiers surrounded Rudy layer by layer.
Still, the sound rides the sea breeze and knocks on the ear. Each scream became a dagger that pierced Rudy’s heart.
***
It’s been a while since I ate a stew with minced meat. I wonder if all the imperial soldiers are eating such delicious food? The most delicious stew I’ve ever had.
The toothy mouse ate one bowl in a hurry and licked the empty bowl with its tongue.
An Imperial soldier who had seen it from the side suddenly approached and hugged the toothed mouse sitting on the bed. He speaks softly in a weeping voice.
“I’ll bring you another bowl.”
It was the word of the tooth rat country.
“Are you okay?”
“No, you said no.”
“…”
I guess so too.
The Tooth Mouse’s shoulders drooped slightly. But the soldier’s next words startled the toothed mouse a little.
“I heard that you shouldn’t eat too much at one time because your stomach is too weak. But what if you get a little stomach ache after eating so deliciously? To a sailor like us, a stomach ache is ridiculous.”
“uh.”
Can I eat two bowls? Aren’t you still upset? Food on the ship was lacking, but not plentiful.
‘Besides, I’m not even a member of the Empire.’
I thought so in my heart, but I didn’t say it out of my mouth. It would be embarrassing if I didn’t get to eat, saying, “You weren’t an imperial soldier.”
“My sister is as old as you.”
The imperial soldier tuk-tuk hit the rat on the head, told him to wait a moment, and left the room.
The toothed mouse looked around and looked in all directions.
When I came to my senses, I was already in this room, but there was only the Imperial soldier in the room.
An older-looking imperial soldier saw that the toothy rat had woken up and brought the stew after admonishing it not to move at all.
Sniffing, the toothed mouse bent forward to sniff. I didn’t realize it right after I woke up, but I had a splint and strange smelling medicine attached to my broken ankle.
‘What will become of me.’
Will I be chained as a slave again?
Seeing them put medicine on their wounds and even feed them delicious food, they might be trying to make them plump and sell them in the slave market.
You are unlikely to be an expensive slave yourself, but somewhere far away the price might be different. Because this world is a wide place
I got a little anxious. Looking at the situation, should I run away if there is an opportunity?
‘If it seems to be anchored somewhere…’
I was lost in thought when the door slammed open. Did the imperial soldiers bring food? Unknowingly, my mouth was salivating.
However, it was not the imperial soldiers who entered.
The toothy mouse’s eyes widened.
“uh!”
He was the helmsman on the boat the Tooth Rat was originally on.
The helmsman is the second highest person after the captain. To a low-ranking sailor like a toothy rat, it was a high and high status, as if it were above the clouds.
However, the helmsman was especially fond of the toothed mouse, so he would often share food with them. I heard that the toothy rat resembles the rabbit I once raised.
[That guy, it was so delicious.]
The face of the helmsman who smacked his lips as he said that, the Tooth Mouse could not forget for a while. At first, he was terribly afraid that he might eat himself if food ran out on the ship.
I later heard from another sailor that it was a joke that the helmsman often makes with newcomers, but it must be true that he kept rabbits. Also caught.
“uh….”
But the helmsman thought he was dead. It was right where the Arubasian soldiers stabbed the slaves with their knives.
I was more afraid. Is that really the helmsman? Isn’t it a ghost you heard from your seniors before? It may be a ghost who has come to drag you into the water.
The helmsman came up to the side and smacked him in the head with his fist. sick. a person with a living body You really are the helmsman!
The helmsman grinned.
“Inum-ah! Why are you seeing a ghost?”
“helmsman!”
He cried out, and the helmsman tapped him on the head with his rough hand.
“sick.”
“Does the sailor have to insist on being so sick to use it?”
Saying so, the helmsman slapped the toothed rat on the back of the head once more. It hurts, but I know it’s like stroking the helmsman. The toothy mouse rubbed its eyes with its fist and raised its head while crying.
“I thought he was dead.”
“I almost died. Next to the guy who got stabbed, I lay down as if I had been stabbed. I continued to lie in a pile of corpses and later woke up when the Imperials came.”
The helmsman muttered in a voice that made him cry, “I’m a coward.”
“No. I’m not cowardly. The helmsman said there is no cowardice as a means of survival.”
“…”
After boarding the ship, Toothy Rat learned that the most important thing was to survive. Everyone said that if there was not enough drinking water, we should survive by drinking urine.
“Yes…yes.”
The helmsman put his hand on the toothed mouse’s head for a while and wept quietly. After both of them cried for a while, the helmsman asked.
“But what are you going to do?”
“yes?”
“I’m asking if you want to stay on the Imperial Ship or return to your homeland.”
“uh!”
The toothy mouse’s eyes widened.
“Aren’t we slaves?”
“You bastard, someone feed the slave properly and treat it! Stupidity is the same as it was then and now.”
The helmsman laughs in a voice like boiling phlegm. and added words.
“I won’t even get the helmsmanship, but I decided to stay with the Imperial ship. Our ship is gone anyway, and I’m old enough to look for a new one. What are you going to do?”
“Me too.”
The toothy mouse kept its mouth shut while talking. Since the helmsman had that kind of experience and skills, the Empire would have accepted him. But he had nothing.
“It’s okay. If you want to stay on the Imperial ship, you can do that too. They say that the Empire has a shortage of sailors. Besides, you’re a child saved by a spirit, so if you say you’ll stay with me, you’ll be very welcome.”
“Uh. Spirit?”
The toothy mouse’s mouth opened wide. Please, please…
“What, don’t you remember?”
“I thought it was a dream.”
“The Spirit said you were saved and brought to you.”
“Really?”
Unknowingly, those words came out.
Then, I heard something strange. Ppo-dog, po-dog, that’s what it sounds like.
“…”
The helmsman was looking behind the toothed mouse with his eyes wide open. completely hardened
As the toothed mouse slowly turned around, there was a long, glowing object in the window.
Something like a large worm of light groped the wall. A squeaking sound came from the window every time it moved.
“I-what is that?”
The toothed mouse asked, and the helmsman, who was stiff, prostrated himself and shouted.
“Spirit!”
Hey, is that a spirit? something is a little strange
As I thought so, the roots that looked like earthworms moved and eyes suddenly appeared in the window. The round eyes flickered and caught the shape of the toothed mouse.
It looks really strange. I think it was the nose of something like an earthworm.
‘That was the face.’
It is the first animal no, it’s light
I tilted my head, but the light in the shape of an animal with a long nose shook my nose slightly as if I was happy. It’s like laughing at yourself.
“Ah! That must have been the nose.”
Suddenly, the toothed mouse realized that it was that nose that had pulled him from the depths of the sea.
It really must have been helped by that strange animal of light, no, by the spirit.
The toothed mouse bent forward, which was unnatural for its legs, and bowed.
“thank you.”
[So, can you do mine now?]
weird. I couldn’t hear a voice, but I didn’t really hear anything, but for some reason I felt like the spirit was laughing while saying that.
