Hero without Blood or Tear

[37] Only death. (1)

“Death Fighters, march on your master! ”

I tried summoning the undead because there were many bodies in the ambush area.

“Hmm…. ”

I checked the status window, but my proficiency didn't improve at all. As expected, it's no use to Hobgoblin now. Early in Skilled 4, the summoning of the undead demanded that an undead be made into a more powerful monster.

A stronger monster...

It's not that I don't have one. Just in time, there is something suitable for this mountain. That is, the dragon Schwarzetoifel. If you practice summoning the undead with that infamous corpse, your skill level will increase tremendously.

That wasn't the end of it.

Dragon heart.

A mountain of treasure.

A tremendous amount of experience.

It was truly a comprehensive gift set, a Deluxe edition for future warriors. If I had done this well, I would have achieved a great deal.

“Kurrak.”

“Yes, my lord. ”

“From now on, when you call the burden, call it preaching. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

It was for a practical reason that two syllables were better than five syllables.

“Describe the power of these mountains. ”

“Very well. There are several species of monsters living here, but they are divided into two factions. ”

It is said to be the Boar Rock Faction and Lightning Tree Faction.

“Why are you so named? ”

“It's simple. These factions are from the meeting place. ”

Where the Boar Rock Faction gathers, there is a huge rock that resembles a Boar, and where the Thunder Tree Faction gathers, there is an old tree that was struck down by lightning.

Most of the Hopgoblins, like Kurrak, are called the Boar Rock Faction.

“What are the trends of the two factions? ”

“Very bad. It's not unusual to get into a fight soon. ”

“Do you usually fight on these mountains? A dragon wouldn't have let you do that. ”

“Of course it is. When the dragons were active, they weren't strong enough. But I haven't heard from a dragon in over a decade. ”

“Huh? Is that so? ”

The Horsemen have made every effort to contact the lost Dragon without any instructions or demands.

“I've made sacrifices, I've made wishes with my life. But there was no response from the dragon. ”

Not just a few years, but 10 years. No matter how scared the dragons are, the Horses of the Mountain are starting to think differently. Ten years may be nothing to a dragon, but it means something different to the Horsemen. Schwarzetoifel can't possibly know this. Even if he didn't show up, it's proof that something happened.

“So the two factions will fight each other in the end? ”

“That's right. I'm still patient with my fear of the Dragon, but I think it's only a matter of time before it explodes." ”

I nodded my head in Kurrak's explanation.

“Then we can ease their troubles. ”

“What does that mean? ”

“It is the king's duty to gently shake the backs of the people who want to take a step. ”

Yeah, it is.

Let's go give everyone courage.

* * *

You set out with Kurak, a Hopgoblin vampire at night. It's late at night, so you don't have to worry about meeting the Horsemen of the Mountain. These guys are mostly nocturnal.

“Your Majesty, where would you like to go? ”

“Let's go to the lightning tree first. ”

After three hours in the mountains, you see a dark old tree far away. And there were a few campfires burning underneath. There were quite a few Orcs around the campfire, but over 50 of them appeared. They are chattering loudly while drinking.

“Your Grace, would you like to speak with them? If you do, I'll go in advance... ”

“No.”

I shook my head.

“No more talking. Jim despises those who are mere horses. You'd better show me something. ”

You leave the Philly with Kurrak and walk towards them.

Acquire. Acquire.

I liked the feeling of snow piled up every time I stepped on it. The Orcs were all excited, chattering, and they found me, and they looked surprised.

Touch your friend next to you and point your finger this way. Strange. Humans are coming alone at night. Especially if the human condition is unusual. Originally, they would have to come at us right away, but they didn't move in a strange way.

“ ……. ”

I'm just staring this way with my fierce eyes. I boldly entered among the crowd despite the many gazes. And he grabbed one of the skewers roasting in the campfire and ate it without permission.

“Well, it doesn't taste good. ”

I threw my skewers on the ground and stepped on them. At that moment, the Orcs around you rush in with weapons like they promised.

“Kuaa!”

When the Orcs with the giant axe tried to cut me down, they used a shadow explosion.

Kuaang!

The black explosion engulfs the campfire and scatters the flames and firewood to all sides.

“Rrrrgh!”

“Kuaak!”

A large orc rolls over the ground. The battle began right away.

Ka 'ang!

Someone throws a hand axe at you and pulls it out. Then he reached out his left hand and used tear absorption.

“Rrrrgh!”

“Ahhhh! Turn it off! ”

Tear absorption to proficient stage 3 has completely altered its power. Thirty Orcs were strangled and killed in an instant.

They rise as butchers of the ghouls. The rest of the Orcs struggled to endure the brute force of the Ghoul Butcher. It's a fresh fight.

“Hmm?"

A large, good-looking orc stares down at you. The situation itself was unbelievable. I kicked him with the axe rolling around.

“Do you want to fight your axe and my sword for what's stronger? ”

At that moment, the Orc's expression changed. The language was different, but the meaning seemed to have been conveyed. He grabs the axe with his furious face. And they accused me of denial and evil in the Orc language.

The commanders must be far beyond the pride of their warriors. An Orc with an axe came running fiercely to condemn me like that.

His eyes, reflecting the moonlight, were burning with blood. In fact, that's the pride of a man who has lived as a warrior all his life. Then I also correspond to….

Taang!

A single gunshot knocks the proud warrior down. And he never moved again. I bowed my head to him and apologized.

“I'm sorry I broke my promise. I forgot, but I have a loaded pistol on my waist. You know, I can't help but shoot you with a gun. ”

The fight was already over. Some Orcs run away, but the Butcher gets the axe thrown by the Ghouls and tumbles into the snow. Over 50 Orcs were wiped out in an instant.

“Your Grace, what are you going to do? ”

Kurnak asked you to tie Orc corpses to lightning trees.

“Just be careful when you're making a tree. ”

The order alone did not fill the castle, so I went into direct supervision.

“No, don't get hung up there. Keep your distance. Kurnak! You go tie the rope. Ugh! Those grills are good at fighting, but this sucks! ”

Orcs with ropes around their necks hang one by one like an ornament on a charred relic. I approached the last of the bodies to be tied.

“Give me the knife. ”

“Here you go. ”

I stripped off the top of the dead Orc and wrote on his body with a knife.

[Our patience is limitless. You do. Beautiful ornament on this tree.]

I wrote it in Hobgoblin.My Hobgoblin was a mess of grammar, but it didn't matter much. Hobgoblins didn't even use their words properly.

You don't have to tell me who did it. There are people in this mountain who hate Lightning Tree Factions for dying.

“I'm done. Now, hang on. ”

Boo! Boo!

As the rough rope shakes its branches, the snow piled up on the dead tree scatters to all sides. The moonlight was shining beautifully like a small crystal.

“What a night! ”

I was impressed by this beautiful tree.

* * *

This time, I moved to a place called Boar Rock. I arrived about five hours after climbing a mountain from a lightning tree.

“Philly. Rough, huh? I'll get you some rest when you get back. ”

After a long mountain ride, Fili Ko exhales a lot of white breath. I watered Philly enough. Poor guy. My heart ached a little.

“Your Grace. That's it. ”

“You look like a big boar. ”

Due to the darkness, the silhouette of the large boulder looks like a wild boar without fail. And a few ogres and Hopgoblins gathered in front of him and were eating something cranky. It was a big bear. It looks like the Ogre club got hit in the head.

“Grrr?”

A one-eyed ogre who was chewing off the whole bear's thigh became interested in finding me. The bloodshed in your mouth looks really scary.

“Chuugh.”

The one-eyed ogre looked at me and tasted. I think he knows the taste of people.

Hee-young!

Surprised Philly leaps forward. And then ogre goes bang! Bang, bang! He rushes in and reaches over here. Apparently he didn't even think I was going to fight back.

It felt like it was eating food on the shelf. So we reached out together. Then Ogre and I reached out to each other, as did Michelangelo's famous creation.

The contact was short, but the results were clear.

Kuang!

A withered ogre falls on the snow. Then the others who were watching woke up in shock. Seeing that, I was a little worried and stroked my chin by myself.

“There are no trees here, so I'll have to cut them down. ”

And literally cut them down like fish. It took less than five minutes to annihilate.

“I'll leave word here, too. ”

I wrote on the stone of the Boar using my cheerful blood.

[Pay respect to the cowards.]

Maybe the two factions don't think someone's a pervert. They have been isolated for a long time in the mountains. It was too late for accidents to coexist. Even if there is a wise man among the hordes, he will not be able to stop the raging fury of the sheep faction blindly.

* * *

The next day.

Kurrak watches with interesting news.

“Your Grace. An ogre sent by the Boar Rock Faction to listen to the protests and explanations was stoned by the Thunder Tree Faction. Now both emotions have exploded. ”

Now I don't care about the dinosaurs or anything, but I'm ready for battle. They say they've decided on a frontal battle.

“Do you have a date and place for the fight? ”

“That's right.”

“How could they be so honest? ”

If humans had fought amongst themselves, the battle would have started by surprise. But two days later, they met as a group and decided to solve the problem with a knife and axe.

“What time did you say? ”

“It's called early dawn. ”

Early mornings on a nocturnal basis are usually between 3 and 4 p.m. Kurrak says there's a good place.

“I know a high place with a good view of the fighting pits. If you look down there, you can see the situation at a glance. ”

“That's great. Kurrak, would you mind setting up a table and a chair for Jim there in advance? ”

It was a good time to have tea time.
