The Blood Knight’s Villains

My Villains Episode 145

38. Golden Sludge (2)

The slender waning moon peeked out between the stars. A white boat sailed along the silvery winding waterway.

Even the beautiful halo of light could not dispel the dark clouds over Longville. Dogs resembling humans were lying on their stomachs in a wide field of wheat, while torchlights were at stake in the night wind.

I was watching the Anupads, hiding among the bushes on the ridge.

“O uh ” —

a quiet sob, so Beldin stirred his hips for no reason. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and opened his mouth.

“…It is unbelievable that this number has increased in one day.”

“Except for the large number. Were those guys always like that?” The Anupads were grouped in groups of as few as twenty or as many as six or seventy. Fifteen lumps gathered like that firmly surrounded Long Bill’s wooden fence.

The young scribe quickly waved his hand.

“No no Sir. If we were in that state, we wouldn’t have been able to get out.”

“then?”

“Up until last night, most of them were gathered near the gate. Thanks to that, I was able to escape using the secret passage.”

I checked again, scratching my eyebrows.

“Didn’t you say that the secret passage leads to the stronghold?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The living quarters of Longville were perched on a long stretch of rocky mound.

If you go up the ramp to the west, the gateway is holding on, and if you pass the residence of the residents of the territory and reach the eastern end, the lord’s house and fortress are standing.

Beldin pointed towards the stronghold with his hand and added.

“To be precise, it goes under the mound. The place where a small stream once flowed has been converted into a secret passage.”

“Don’t the Anupads know?”

“Of course Sir.”

The scribe nodded resolutely, and U Tequai, who was perched on a tree trunk, stepped out.

“Anupad is a stupid beast.”

The huge savage spat out something he was chewing on and continued.

“No matter how many heads we have, we can’t stop them.”

“Do you think I am doing this because of the number of pages?”

I frowned and continued.

“That’s an army. It’s not just sloppy guys, there’s going to be guys like the Queen’s General Shaman’s lieutenant all over the place. You can’t think easily.”

“It is not easy to think. But there is nothing to think hard about.”

Utequai grinned and handed him something.

“What is this?”

“It’s fruit.”

I stared down at the acorn or chestnut-like fruit.

“What is the fruit? Can I use this to lure you in?”

“Dogs like meat. You cannot lure them with fruit.”

“Then why did you give me this?”

“Eat it. It is ripe and sweet.”

What is this baby.

I was dumbfounded and burst out laughing.

“Hey dude, are you hungry for something to eat even after seeing that pack of dogs?”

“It goes well. Strength and wisdom appear when you are full. A warrior must know how to get full in front of the enemy.”

“If you can’t even speak very well.”

He shook his head and bit into the fruit. After spitting out the peel, the pure white pulp was chewed.

It’s sweet. The scent is savory.

As I savored the sweetness left on the tip of my tongue, I turned to U Te Quai.

“…Are there any more?”

He giggled and handed me four or five berries.

As if Utequai hadn’t said anything wrong, as he ate all the fruits, he came up with a very good plan.

Anupad ‘Ounshida’ was a princess and general. As befits the queen’s heir, she was twice as tall and ten times as strong as her kin.

Ounshida had four mates, and among them he favored the youngest, Pshakki. It was a small but attractive male with indigo fur that is rarely seen.

The young male diligently licked the back of the general’s hand. Owunshida’s scars gradually faded due to Pshakki’s strange magical power.

purr.

Ounshida clenched her chin and let out a pleasant sound. As the general’s eyelids slowly closed, the soldiers held their breath and rested.

It was then.

Ounshida’s nose twitched at the smell of something burning. Soon after, my ears perked up and my eyes opened at once.

Kreung!

After resting, she raised her head, and her men quickly stood up. Then he started barking furiously.

The vigilance of the general’s unit soon spread to the entire army. Hundreds of Anupads barked with their ears pricked up.

At that moment, arrows of fire began to rain from the gates of Longville.

Kkong-!

The Anupads at the gate quickly retreated at Ounshida’s cry.

To the general’s vigilance, most of the flaming arrows missed in vain. The distance between the gateway and Anupad was too far to overcome with non-poetry archery.

Instead, the wheat and corn that had been trampled by the monsters began to catch fire. The gateway opened while some Anupads were chewing and curling their tails.

“Wow!”

“Come on!”

A group of about 50 soldiers shouted. It was a bonus to knock the spear against the small square shield.

Ounshida glared at the gateway with her teeth exposed. I wanted to jump right in and tear those humans to shreds, but I couldn’t disobey my mother’s order.

Her howl continued for a long time. About half of the troops began to gather near the gateway to the roar, which meant preparing for battle.

“…it’s okay. Let’s start now.”

At the words of swordsman Simos, the boy wizard Ethan frowned.

“Why should I take this risk?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, just memorize a spell.”

“I can not understand. To think that the Rao family wizard had to listen to the orders of a mere wandering knight.”

Annoyed, Simos scratched under his eyepatch.

“If you’re so dissatisfied, why did you say it earlier? Why are you making a fuss now?”

“That’s because my sister said she would find out before I even stepped out.” “Then, did your sister listen to Phoenix-sama because she was an idiot?”

“…’Phoenix-sama’?”

As Edan narrowed his forehead, Simos, who hardened his mouth, pulled out his longsword and fired at it.

“Quickly memorize an order. Even for Sirens and Zanavas.”

“Okay damn.”

The two men and women started chanting.

That’s right.

A golem rose from beneath its feet. It was made by Siren.

Edan hadn’t learned how to make golems yet, but he was able to do simple controls.

“go. Wipe them all away.”

In the language imbued with mana, a shape made of soil and sand ran down the mountain. The sound of the heavy golem’s footsteps quickly reached the ears of the Anupards.

Then, electricity began to flow through Simos’s longsword. A blue radiance that even she herself could not control surged through the bushes.

Arr-!

kong! I’m sorry!

The loud noise of dogs gradually drew closer.

Ignoring this, Simos swung the longsword over his head as if signaling.

“Ouch, it’s dazzling. Get away!”

After grumbling like that, Edan took out several rune fragments from his bosom and threw them towards the mountain slope.

Simos, who collected the mana and extinguished the blue light, brought the horse tied up nearby. It was Phoenix’s favorite horse, Spotted.

With a deft movement, she mounted her horse and, glancing down the slope, pulled up the sheaf.

“Explode slowly.”

” already?”

“You can be greedy and catch up.”

“I must say, it’s Anupad, but I’m so scared…

Ethan frowned while he was talking. It is because the connection with the golem has been severed.

‘I gave the order roughly, but it’s already been smashed?’

“Ethan quickly!”

“Oh, I see.”

Ethan quickly memorized the order.

After the 12-word murmur was over, the rune fragments he had sprinkled flashed all at once.

Kwakwawang!

A small landslide occurred as soil, sand, rocks, etc. broke out.

Suddenly, a chill went down Ethan’s spine. It was because the crackling cries mixed with the roar were much closer than expected.

“Sismo- Uh-huh.”

Before Ethan could even open his mouth, Simos pulled the reins.

Simos and Ethan quickly lowered their stances as Spotted started to run up and down the trail.

As the commotion reached its peak, I waited between the bushes and peeked up.

There was only one group of Anupad seen around. All the others seemed to have run westward, toward the gateway.

“…I must have received a letter.” It was the druid of Janavas who delivered the letter to Longville. I hung letters on some mountain birds and sent them flying.

When I called for a little joy, Ellen, who was following behind me, started crying.

“Have you arrived now?”

“You just have to go a little further. Are you having a hard time?”

“I feel like I’m going to die *hah*.”

Now we had dirt and sand all over our bodies. Considering Anupad’s keen sense of smell, it was a natural move.

“I wish I could use magic…

Ellen did the same. The boy had dirt on his hair and looked like he was about to burst into tears at any moment.

“Oh, what is this? I want to wash my *cool look* soon.”

“It’s a bitch’s mother.”

Ellen barely suppressed her scream at the sudden sound from the side .

It was none other than Utequai who appeared with his face painted black and his eyes glowing.

“I was surprised, you savage!”

At Ellen’s whisper, Utequai, whose arms and legs were smeared with animal dung, grinned.

“It should have been properly disguised. it’s a shame.”

“…Ugh, madman’.”

Ellen muttered and trembled. Did he remember Utequai trying to put shit on his hair before setting off?

Either way, Utequai turned to me and whispered.

“Phoenix. I have to run now.”

“now? Wouldn’t it be better to get closer?”

“wrong.”

The boy shook his head with a determined face.

“Everyone is bad at hiding. I’ll hear you go further. Better to run.”

“…well, I can’t help it.”

I took out a javelin from my waistband and lifted it. The party that followed quietly drew their weapons and prepared for battle.

He met his tense eyes and whispered a little.

“From the moment I shouted, I broke through with all my might. There’s plenty of time, so there’s no need to rush that much. You have to move calmly.”

I sneakily looked at the Anupards. The guys guarding the bottom of the castle were a normal group of about 3 to 40.

“Me and Utequai are in the lead. Beldin and the soldiers are second, Amias you are next. Thoroughly protect Ellen and Siren. got it?”

” yes.” “Zanavas is the last. It’s your job to take care of those who have fallen behind.” I glanced at Navas, who nodded with a firm expression, and tightened the straps of my backpack. In the meantime, when the inside of the backpack wriggled, a bitter smile came out without me knowing.

“Moonchi, it’s going to shake a little now.”

Saying that, I tapped the backpack, and the mung made a small squeaking noise and held my breath again.

When I tried to leave it to Moses and Ethan, it made a fuss to the point of worrying about being discovered, and after it went into my backpack, it was a bundle that didn’t even make a sound of breathing. Because he’s also really cool.

“…… stein.”

After a long murmur, Siren’s spell was completed. The soil and sand that had been buried in the bodies of the party hardened like armor made of rocks.

“Any attack will be blocked at least once.”

“Thank you sir siren.”

He slowly raised his body while holding the square shield he was carrying on his shoulder. The shield was bought at a mountain hut, and it was a wooden plate wrapped with iron. How long will this shield last?

“let’s go.”

I walked shoulder to shoulder with Utequai through the bushes.

Could it have taken five or six steps like that? I met eyes with a Wen Anupad.

Big up-!

My javelin pierced the guy’s chest right before he let out a cry.

As the Anupads turned their heads in surprise, I pulled out my Hrunting and shouted.

“run-!”

There was no need to look back. I was just running with all my might. The distance that used to be about 50 meters was halved in two breaths.

kkong kkong kkong-!

The barking of the dog was deafening.

Netaek-

I raised my shield and blocked several arrows while looking at them. Anupads with spears were lined up.

…reacts quickly? what?

Kreureung!

One Anupad was brandishing a whip at his subordinates. I was able to recognize the guy’s identity by the way the square was completed in an instant with a couple of whips.

‘Adjutant Shtwug’. In the game, he appears as the second pick in Chapter 3.

After a quick glance, there were two more that caught my eye. They were randomly named.

The one with a short snout and sparse hair was ‘Half-Blood Juama’, and the one with a slightly brighter color was ‘Red Pshaka’.

“This is rotten.”

I thought they were an ordinary group, but when I saw them up close, they were an elite unit with three names.

With a rising sense of danger, I quickly raised my blood.

The front of my eyes was stained red.
