The Soldier Shouted Save - Chapter 30
Only Noblemtl
The soldier shouted save (30)
A situation where you haven’t even set foot inside the Forest of Spirits.
Although they were mercenaries accustomed to melee situations, they were helpless in the face of a giant eagle that tore off the roof of a carriage and pecked at people’s necks like toys.
“This is the work of Mentis, who controls animals! Don’t panic, and respond together!”
The ones who saved the punitive force from being thrown into chaos were the commanders hired by the Walker family using astronomical amounts of gold.
“Ugh, euaaaah!”
“Hey, gather here!”
The mercenaries who had hurriedly escaped from the carriage gathered in one place and raised their swords high according to the commander’s order, and the giant eagle had difficulty piercing the dozens of blades raised like a hedgehog.
“I, advance with the carriage with the power chain!”
The only way for mercenaries to deal with the giant eagles is to drag them down with chains.
The mercenaries, huddled together and holding their swords high, advanced slowly like turtles, trying to secure anti-aircraft weapons.
“Keeeek! Keeeeek!”
As if they could read my mind, they started to block the path where the anti-aircraft weapons were located.
“Damn it! Retreat! Retreat!”
Several mercenaries have their swords snatched from them by the eagle’s talons.
When a hole appears in the blade aimed at the sky, and the soldiers start to back away in panic.
Dust rose into the sky.
“Prokella!”
Hye-rin’s voice was heard from the gap in the tangled carriage.
Blue particles covering the sky rotate clockwise like stars in the night sky.
A huge whirlpool created by rising dust.
The wind magic that Hye-rin used was Prokella, which creates a storm.
“Ugh!! Everyone grab the person next to you!”
A storm so strong that it shakes the bodies of grown men. As the smoky dust and even the remains of the carriage rise into the sky, the startled soldiers throw their swords on the ground and grab the carriage and their comrades.
“Kke, keeeeeeek!”
A giant eagle with its wings broken by strong winds.
-Knock knock, knock.
In that wind, the sword that was rolling on the ground rose into the sky.
-Swish, swish swish!
A blade mixed with the storm slashes a flock of eagles trapped in the storm.
“Okay, okay! I got it!”
Hye-rin, who was showing her palms at the mercenary’s words full of emotion, stops her magic.
The strong wind died down in an instant, and their corpses poured down like rain.
“Mom, everyone watch your heads!”
A giant eagle’s corpse is seen covering its head.
Hye-rin’s magic turned the unfavorable situation around in one go, but no one cheered.
The gruesome sight of overturned carriages and corpses was enough to calm the excited hearts.
“Don’t stand there like an idiot! Stop the fallen carriage and report the damage to the commanders!”
The first to speak up was Goyle Walker, the youngest of the Walker family, who wanted to show off his commanding presence.
To give such an order in this situation… … .
I shouted out Goyle Walker’s orders before the punitive force could suffer any more damage.
“They’re still alive! Confirm kills! Confirm kills first!”
The soldiers, startled by my words, quickly picked up their fallen swords and looked at the men rolling around on the ground.
“Kke, keeeeek!”
Goyle Walker’s judgment was hasty.
Some of them had their wings broken by the storm and their bodies were pierced by blades, but they still looked fine.
“Ugh, eww!”
“This way! They’re coming this way!”
The sight of a chicken walking waddling and opening its beak wide.
But they did not turn towards the soldiers who had raised their swords in a hurry.
They all head towards one place like an army under orders.
“Whoa, whoa!”
At the sound of a familiar voice at the end of the line, I quickly jumped onto the roof of the carriage and ran.
-Tung! Tung! Tung!
The place we arrived at after jumping on the roof of the carriage was the center, a place of calm even in the storm.
“Keeeek! Keeeek… … .”
“shut up.”
-Whoosh!
As I jumped down and twisted my body back around, I swung my sword, and blood gushed out like a fountain from my severed neck.
“Come closer.”
They squeezed their way in through the gap in the carriage and surrounded Hye-rin and me.
As Hye-rin was placed behind him and he stood guard at the front, a beautiful voice filled the battlefield.
“Reporting the damage later! Kill the surviving enemies and prepare for the next attack!”
I glanced around to see who the voice belonged to.
The one who covered the battlefield with beauty was Marie Walker.
Despite her easygoing appearance, she was an aristocrat among aristocrats.
Because he took the general position so that he could make his presence known while also pointing out Goyle Walker’s wrong orders.
‘I’m really tired of living.’
A noble who fights silently with honor rather than with a sword.
As I was catching a glimpse of the fight between the nobles, someone leaned into my arms.
“… … .”
He looks a little scared, as if he’s not used to this kind of fighting.
He says, hiding Hye-rin behind my back.
“Stay behind me.”
As if they sensed the urgency in the second daughter’s words, the bastards quickly started to stagger around and opened their beaks.
“I, I don’t have any mana stacks right now.”
It’s a burdensome number to fight and protect Hye-rin without magic.
At that moment, the commander in chief spoke belatedly.
“You damned bastards! What are you doing! Protect the wizards first!”
When I turn my gaze to the sudden shouting, I see Kyle Walker, so excited that his face turns red.
He has lost the composure of a nobleman and is not like the eldest son.
-Whoosh!
In a matter of seconds, a white trail cuts off the giant eagle’s neck in an instant, and someone extends a hand in front of Hye-rin.
“I’m sorry, wizard. We will protect you.”
Kyle Walker’s knights appeared from all over the place in a hurry.
Hye-rin, who broke free from my arms, looks up at me and asks.
“… … Are you following these people?”
A mentally unstable state in which one could be killed.
I pat Hye-rin’s shoulder and whisper softly.
“Is teleportation usable now?”
“… … No, I just used Storm Magic, so I’m low on mana stacks. I think I need to drink a mana potion and rest for a few more minutes before I can use it… … .”
“That’s fine. If the same situation arises, instead of creating a storm, teleport to me. Do you remember what I said?”
It’s a reminder to put your own safety first.
Hye-rin, who regained her smile for a moment, nodded and followed Kyle Walker’s knights.
* * *
After the situation is completely resolved.
Amidst the soldiers standing guard, the main commanders and the three Walker siblings held an emergency meeting.
“You control animals outside the forest! You’re not a normal Mentis!”
“Furthermore, even though they are big monsters, they move like a trained army… … This is unheard of!”
A more powerful form than the Mentis investigated by the punitive force.
When morale was completely broken, someone stepped forward and spoke.
“Your Majesty, I think this is a good place to end it. Let’s give ourselves some time to subdue them, and try again… .”
Kyle Walker’s face turned red in an instant, as if those words had touched a sore spot.
As he was about to spit out something with an angry face, someone stepped forward and stopped the eldest son.
“Hahaha. You’re a bunch of cowards. If I had said something like that when I was young and the Demon King was alive, I would have lost my head in an instant.”
“… … Ha, when are you talking about the enemy? That was back then, and now we have our own rules!”
The old inspector, Walter, snickers at the young mercenary’s words.
“Then let me tell you based on what you want now. Do you know how much the promised punitive damages are compared to the punitive damages for other large-scale monsters?”
“My life is in danger, so what does that matter…?”
“Five times as much, five times as much! We were promised a reward equivalent to killing five giants!”
Walter glares at the mercenary who has become mute after eating honey and laughs.
“Don’t act like a child. Do you think that the current situation is more dangerous than dealing with five giants? If you don’t have confidence, don’t lose your temper and just get out. I have no intention of missing out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Hahaha, as Walter steps back with a leisurely laugh, the knights and mercenaries who were about to complain look at each other and scratch their heads.
“… … Well, opportunities like this don’t come often.”
“Actually, if you live as a mercenary, this isn’t even a crisis of order. Let’s just appease the soldiers.”
As people started dropping out one by one and the subjugation meeting was abruptly halted, the second daughter who was next to me whispered to me.
“What do you think, Your Majesty? Do you think this expedition has any hope?”
… … there is hope.
A carriage rolling across the floor and a floor stained with blood.
I said, glancing at the mercenaries’ faces one by one.
“I don’t know how different the one who settled in the Forest of Spirits is from the ordinary Mentis, but if we continue like this, the subjugation will end successfully.”
“… … Why? Wasn’t it dangerous even though only a flock of birds were rushing towards it?”
“They suffered because they were inside the carriage. While the men were free to run wild, the soldiers couldn’t swing their swords or see the sky from the carriage, so it was like being stuck in a swamp with their lower bodies down.”
At my words, the second daughter quietly watched the unit finishing reorganizing, then changed the question.
“What if we had fought outside the carriage?”
“Before the flock of giant eagles could even approach, the magic would have torn off its wings.”
“… … Do you think our chance has come?”
“More definitely than before. If you wish, I will first destroy Mentis’ core and bring it to Youngae.”
-Whew!
A sudden gust of wind blows back the hair that was covering her face.
The second daughter’s burn scars are clearly revealed.
But Marie Walker didn’t try to hide her scar; she smiled and asked an unexpected question.
“What do you like, sir?”
“I don’t have any favorite things, but it’s a shame there’s no church in Walker.”
“… …Does Walker Gaga want to accept Freya’s doctrine?”
“If you build a new church, I will consider inviting Young-ae as its mistress.”
At those words, Marie Walker laughs in disbelief.
“You’re cheeky. That’s why I like you.”
“Don’t they say that a knight resembles his master?”
“… … Are you insulting me now?”
“If I become Youngae’s knight, that’s what it would be like.”
“Then let’s pretend I didn’t hear it.”
He bows his head to the second daughter’s joke and turns his back on the soldiers.
“I will use any means necessary to make you mine.”
An eerie voice comes from behind.
When I turn my head and look back, the second daughter smiles and says.
“You’d better not look down on the nobles too much. I have already chosen you.”
* * *
The punitive force, having finished its preparations, split into two at the entrance to the Forest of Spirits.
“We will stay here with the wounded and provide support from a distance.”
The eldest son is in the rear with the wounded and the wizard.
“Goyle, you take over the overall command in my place.”
“Ha, haha! Okay, bro!”
Goyle Walker, who was in charge of the overall command, shouted with excitement.
“All hands, move forward!”
Everyone, soldiers and commanders alike, frowned at Goyle’s seemingly thoughtless appearance, but no one stopped walking.
As I told my second daughter, if there were no special variables, the punitive force would have had a huge advantage.
“But how long do we have to go?”
“… … Isn’t that the center where the World Tree is located?”
A quiet forest where not a single insect can be heard.
When the soldiers who had been on guard for a long time wiped their sweat and looked up at the silhouette of the World Tree.
Someone came urgently next to me.
“… … Wait a minute, Your Majesty. The situation doesn’t look good. We need to pull back our troops.”
The second daughter stops the troops from advancing into the forest.
“Where are you talking about? I don’t think I can see anything… … .”
The knight under the second daughter looked puzzled, but I did not hesitate and raised my voice.
“All retreat!!”
When the giant eagle attacked them, the second daughter was the first to notice the change.
Among the punitive force, the one with the best sense is probably the second daughter.
This time, I trusted her intuition and shouted loudly, and our soldiers followed my orders and shouted.
“Retreat! Retreat!”
“Whoa, retreat! Everyone, retreat!”
Soldiers from other camps followed suit and shouted along with the voices of our soldiers who were chanting their war cries.
“You stupid kids! What are you… … when you have nothing?”
As Goyle Walker was about to lose his temper at the sight of a rabble following the orders of another commander, a shadow began to grow over his head.
“Me, a tree! I’m on top of a tree!”
A few steps ahead of the punitive force.
Lurking in the tree there was a clawed monkey with razor-sharp claws.
A sight of the punitive force moving between trees, aiming for their target.
“Okay, wait a minute!”
“Hey, it’s coming this way!”
Just as the camp was about to collapse, knights with outstanding physical abilities rushed forward.
“Kkieek!”
A claw monkey that falls helplessly to the knight’s single sword.
“Don’t panic! Just look above your head and you’ll find yourself facing a difficult opponent… .”
The knight, who had realized their fighting power, tried to raise his voice, but a louder voice drowned out his own.
“Back, back! They’re coming from behind too!”
Forest wolf, who may or may not have come.
“Whoa, rear! Guard the rear!”
When they realized that the green-furred ones were approaching from behind, they were in a state of panic, when another piece of bad news appeared.
“There’s something coming up ahead too!”
Thud, thud, thud.
Approaching, making the ground shake, were a herd of red boars, their entire bodies covered in red fur.
Someone shivered at the ominous number and grabbed the badge they were wearing as a necklace.
“… … Oh, Almighty, Freya. Give me, me, the strength to overcome adversity… … .”
A prayer that senses death.
“Damn it! Before we get surrounded… … .”
As the knights prepared to fight to the death, I shouted at Goyle, who was in overall command.
“Cliff! You need to turn your back to the cliff over there so that you can receive smooth magical support!”
Ultra-long range firepower support using magic.
The reason why he had an overwhelming advantage over the great demon Mentis was because of magic.
“That, that’s right! Everyone, clear the path! Turn your backs to the cliff and receive magical support!”
Not a plan to give up on life, but a plan to ensure survival.
If the wizards could support the magic with certainty by identifying the enemy, the odds were very high.
“Marie, please don’t fall off my back.”
“Ah, I see. I will trust you.”
Marie Walker is right behind me.
“Krrrrrrr!”
-Whoosh!
Cut down the forest wolf that is rushing towards you.
“Knights, escort Youngae!”
Raising his voice.
“Keeeeeek!”
When you pierce the heart of a clawed monkey aiming for your head.
I could see Goyle Walker, his greasy chin shaking, urgently pulling out a piece of parchment.
“Damn it! Why did you do that so fast!”
“Poem, Situs!”
A magic that reveals one’s location, which I have also tried using through the parchment that Hye-rin gave me.
When Goyle Walker requested fire support too early, I hurried my pace.
“Fire support is coming! Everyone, run quickly!”
Soldiers who are unable to come due to their feet being tied by fork monkeys and forest wolves.
As they killed as many animals as possible in the soldiers’ path of retreat and guided them to escape, the sky turned red.
-Wheww!
A giant fireball flying in a parabolic arc.
The fireball hovered over our heads like the sun,
-Pick! Pick! Pick! Pick!
It spit out arrows of fire in all directions.
“Ma, magic support!”
“What are you guys doing! Come quickly before I get caught up in the magic!”
“Okay, wait a minute!”
A request for support was made before all the soldiers arrived.
“… … Goyil. What are you doing?”
When the second daughter glares at her younger brother, Goyle Walker, after seeing the soldiers burning to death with the enemy.
Something happened that shouldn’t have happened.
“Whoa, whoa!”
A fireball struck right next to the second daughter.
“Mary!”
As burn marks appeared all over the second daughter’s body, not just her face, the top of her head became darkly shaded.
“……crazy.”
Not enemies, but dozens of fireballs flying over our heads.
I couldn’t move my legs.
The size of the fireballs, which numbered in the dozens, seemed like they would burn down the entire forest.
The achievement that lowers fire resistance, is it because of the incarnation of Grimgal?
A body that burns without even touching the skin.
With the pain of my body burning,
The world that was glowing red becomes dark.
* * *
“……seed.”
A view that is slowly returning.
“Sir! Which one do you think looks better?”
… … Where could it be?
When I turned my gaze to where Hye-rin was pointing, I saw the three siblings of the Walker family.
‘… … Was it the time to choose a camp?’
The eldest son took the leap.
The second daughter transferred the privilege.
The youngest was at that time putting his merits on the line.
“… … Don’t be so dumb, let’s go too. I think it’s time to make a choice.”
Hye-rin was raising her voice as she pointed at the three Walker siblings, but I couldn’t concentrate on what she was saying.
– Died from Lee Hye-rin’s attack. [Confirmed]
-Loaded from auto-save. [Confirm]
―Hint: Be careful of the quest target’s attacks. [Check]
The person who killed me.
‘… … Lee Hye-rin.’
Because the person who burned my body was right next to me.
