Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 145
I don’t bother to reveal names to those who are about to die.
There’s no one to warn you not to touch, so what’s the name? If they knew how to warn the living, even if only their souls remained, they would be willing to tell the names one by one, but the reality is that’s not the case, so I don’t want to go through the hassle of buying them.
It was meant to be this time too. Until I saw the armor the mercenaries were wearing and the burning village, which I checked through the telescope given to me by Gieth.
“That’s the same armor Delt was wearing.”
There was nothing to worry about. There was the armor that Delt was wearing at the time, that was dry and that seemed to be in its own way. Even the design of the cape they are wearing is the same. After that, I looked at a lot of armor, but I couldn’t even find similar armor, so those guys were definitely the mercenaries that were being fostered, no different from Count Bossa’s privates.
And, very damningly, after blowing up the whole village, they are proudly camping in front of the pantheon.
Just like the Demon King’s army that attacked our village.
I asked Gieth as I returned the telescope.
“Gyeth. What do you think is the maximum altitude that can be lowered?”
I could tell that Asilie, who was in my arms, was looking at me with a strange expression, but time was running out right away, so I replied by holding her hand tightly. I don’t have the crazy taste of jumping toward the ground every time I get on a flying dragon, and I’m not a suicidal person, so I’m afraid I’ll jump down without thinking.
I’m going to try it because it’s worth doing. It’s not difficult if you give a little support.
“It’s very brief when you get to the vicinity of the ruins, but it’s possible up to the height of the second floor.”
“How long?”
“Uh… about the extent of splashing water…?”
“I understand. I’ll take care of jumping down. After I jump down, drop my sister in the direction we came from.”
I was worried that Asilie would continue to hold my hand, but luckily she seemed to have decided to trust me.
Asilie asked, looking at me as I stood up to prepare to jump.
“Is it safe, Eldy?”
“Totally safe!”
She couldn’t completely erase her anxiety, and I can’t erase that anxiety, but the words she said were obvious.
I had already figured out how far my body, strengthened by magic, could endure and move. If it was as high as Geese mentioned, it would be possible to jump forward without any delay upon landing.
Since everything was ready, I shouted at the top of my voice toward the burning ruins.
“반갑다 개새끼들아!!”
It is a cry that contains only the truth.
In that they properly found Count Bossa’s mercenary corps, they were a welcome group. It is also true that they were bastards in that they set fire to and plundered a village of good civilians who even built a pantheon of wooden buildings.
And it’s even true that, though they didn’t mean to, the sight really tripped my seizure switch.
for that last reason.
Because they were the ones who created situations similar to the past when I had to helplessly lose everything.
Even if that wasn’t what they intended, I couldn’t help but shout.
“I’m going to Eldmia!”
I hope you will remember my name even if you go to hell.
I jumped off the diving dragon.
◈
No one was caught off guard.
The movement of the suddenly approaching flying dragon was already seen through the guards and spread quickly, and all the resting soldiers were fully prepared to face an unknown situation with their weapons in hand.
That’s why they were able to laugh when the insults against them rang out.
He said that the hero, who was not a dragon knight and was only riding behind the pilot, seemed very angry, and did not care much while watching the dragon dive. If it wasn’t a flying dragon knight, there wouldn’t be any way to attack them there.
It’s just a simple threat.
On the contrary, it is no different from giving up the advantage of surprise because he showed up stupidly like that. Excluding the pilot, there would have been two more people on board at best, but they are just fools who misjudged who to fly.
Because he acted with such ‘common sense’, he couldn’t react even when he saw with his own two eyes that his colleague at the forefront was hit by something unknown and torn like a rag.
It was only after three more heads fell off that I realized that that mysterious thing was a person.
“It’s a knight!”
To be honest, no one thought the attacker would be a knight. That’s because there is no article that starts with cursing. However, the meaning of the cry was clear, so I decided to just consider it a knight.
auror user. Knight-level variable. The cry just before was nothing more than a condensation of all the meanings.
“Get together around the leader! Don’t try to capture them alive! You won’t win with clumsy hands!”
Go to Eldmia?
As the leader gave the order, he tried desperately to remember who it was, but he couldn’t figure it out.
Are you an adventurer? Or is it really a knight? Even if you turn all the memories over, there is no person that comes to mind. So, in the midst of this urgent situation, the leader had the luxury of worrying.
Why don’t you know of a swordsman with enough skills to accurately decapitate all four people except for the first one as soon as they fall from a height that looks like the third floor? It’s not even a striking appearance?
They were sensitive to information. If you were going to secretly work to overturn the royal family, you had to. So I thought.
“Second Army back down! Bring your bows! You guys… Damn it!”
The cost of meaningless worry was high. The enemy did not miss the slow movements of those who could not use their auras yet, and showed an unbelievable technique to cut the throats of the three who had only clumsily gathered but were not ready to finish their union.
“Monster, monster!”
“That’s you guys!”
As if it was natural for a prosecutor to do something that would be astonishing, the assailant quickly closed the distance again and cut down the other 2nd group. It was a painful loss, but instead of escaping from reality, the leader decided to accept that it was a situation where everyone could not be saved.
However, apart from that, there was nothing I could do about the skills of the enemies I had already seen.
It is not an eccentricity that can be seen simply with a strengthened body. thousands. No, it was a blow that could be seen after overworking the body through tens of thousands of exercises and carving the motion of ‘cutting’ into the body.
Just a cut carved after endless repetition. There is nothing called technology. Even so, if it weren’t for the enemy, the level of perfection would be enough to put down the sword and clap.
because I have seen it. And because I understand.
All of the mercenary members, who had skills above a certain level but could not use Aura yet, fell into fear.
It’s not raining or anything. Because of that, it was not difficult to guess what kind of attack would follow whether it was conceding the first attack or taking the first attack.
But that was all.
If you give up the first attack, you will be cut faster than if you block it, and if you take the first attack, you will be cut by a standard counterattack.
You know, but you can’t stop it and you can’t avoid it.
“Where the hell did this…!”
Those who awakened the aura. Those who had accumulated enough experience in the mercenary corps to be called middle-class still responded better. It was because the level was high enough to notice that the aura felt by the enemy was insignificant.
It is not known how skillfully they can use such a small aura, but those who judged that they were similar to them, but not outstanding, decided to believe in the training and combat they had been through.
However, the officers who judged the situation by looking at that courageous act and the enemy were in despair. Not because of the enemy’s strength, but because it was certain that he would suffer unexpected damage from this battle.
Someone who came up with the most realistic answer struggled to open his mouth.
“Commander. Order the 2nd Army to flee…”
“I know what you’re thinking. But it’s a hasty decision.”
You can never make such a move with only the aura you feel. No matter how good your tact is, you can’t lift a rock that can hold 10 people by yourself. It’s just something fundamentally different.
Like the enemy right in front of you right now.
The commander was not angry with him because he understood that the officer did not say this for his own safety, but to minimize the damage to other mercenaries who are classified as the second group.
“It’s said to be strong, but there’s only one. Take advantage of the moment when the 2nd Army is distracted and hit it with a pincer.”
It was a later task to find out whether it was someone who had connections with these slash-and-burn villagers or someone who figured out their identity. Even if he didn’t know it, some of the nobles who became his juniors would know the name of Eldmia Ega… No, judging from that skill, he couldn’t not know.
“It’s ‘us’.”
The leader, the man, had personally faced the king’s 10 swords. On the other hand, that raider was infinitely shabby. The pressure they felt from the auras they radiated did not exist.
Their technology may be perfect, but they are obviously weaker than themselves.
“Goes!”
Clearly, they believed in the past times when they had come together countless times to defeat those stronger than themselves, so they formed formation and charged without any hesitation. In order to slash the assailants who did not properly grasp the level of those they were dealing with with their arrogance and to rectify the confusion that was not even in this plan.
“2nd Army! Formation…”
The moment he was about to give orders to the soldiers so as not to get in the way, the attacker, who seemed completely uninterested in them, suddenly turned his head and made direct eye contact with the leader.
“found.”
I didn’t hear a voice. Nervous to the limit, he read the shape of the assailant’s mouth by relying on the flickering torches around him. However, the captain felt the illusion of hearing a voice.
And I understood what that meant and felt the crisis along with goose bumps all over my body, but it was too late.
The sword was already swinging around his neck when he realized that the assailant, who had dug in at twice the speed that he had shown so far, had penetrated right in front of him in the center of the cadres spread out for the siege.
“You are the captain.”
Not knowing whether it was first to be decapitated or to hear the voice, the captain’s head soared into the sky.
