Episode 214 (Kensei and the Werewolf)

I looked back for a moment while following Lünier's steps. The trees in the mountains are covered with snow and calm down.

Lünier noticed me very sensitively and expressed an uneasy expression.

"What's the matter, Grandpa?"

Doing so will make Lünier uneasy.

I concisely told only the facts.

"There are only five people coming from behind,"

"Eleora's pursuit?"

The strong Lunier is calm, but his lips are shaking.

No wonder. Even though he was only twelve, his entire family died, and the only swordsman was the old one.

And from the back, relentless pursuers.

It's not crazy to stand up in fear, but Lünier doesn't slow down.

Fortunately, His Imperial Highness has thoroughly beaten the foundations of the march.

I speak as calmly as Lunier.

"I don't know which hand. This relentless and cautious move is more of a hunter than a soldier. It's probably an assassin."

"No"

I remove one of the cloak fasteners and prepare for the battle.

"Lunier hiding his head in the hood and doing the 'Snow Fox's posture. Do not look up at anything until I say good."

"Wow ... I understand."

Lünier falls on a brand-new snow in the shade of a tree and becomes small and round. Thanks to the white cloak, the prince's small body was difficult to see from a distance.

It's hard to hit arrows, and you don't have to worry about hitting a swung sword.

I remove the sheath of the sword and go under the tree with Lünier.

As expected, there are five pursuers. Equipment suitable for outdoor activities, especially with anti-slip on the front legs of the boots. I feel familiar.

Do you want to reduce it a little?

When I removed the sheath from the belt, I tied the sling from my pocket to the sheath.

A simple stone thrower made of string and leather, but if attached to the tip of a rod, the power will increase dramatically due to centrifugal force.

Loaded with a special pointed stone, I stepped and shook the sheath.

`` Guh !? ''

The man at the head is cracked and scatters red spots on the snow to fall. Unless my arm was dull, the sharpened polished bullet would have sunk into my brain.

The rest are four.

He seems to carry a crossbow, but he does not give him time to change his arrows.

At the same time, all four of them came to me.

"Huh!"

Slash the first person, hit the body and use its back as a shield. He prevented the enemy's sword and slashed the second without a break.

But the third and fourth were quite skilled.

"Happiness!"

"See!"

At about the same time from right and left, a sword line attacking the neck and left waist attacks.

There is no way to prevent this trajectory at the same time.

Then you need to prevent it.

When I stepped back halfway and escaped the enemy's sword line, I immediately stepped on and cut my third.

However, the depth is shallow. It will be dodged.

Simultaneous cutting from left and right again.

The old me has no chance if I prolong. I pulled the throwing knife from my bosom and threw it between the enemy's eyebrows.

`` Wow !? ''

The enemy plucked the knife with his sword, but for a moment the movement stopped.

Using the recoil of the throw, he turned himself and pierced the throat of the other enemy.

"Ore!"

The last enemy steps on.

Gently swipe down the sword and beat your wrist.

The magic sword "Human Eater" given by Prince Dniesk cut his arm with his back easily.

`` Moo !? ''

Don't let the astonishing cry go to the end, drop your head with a returning sword. Even with my old strength, a magic sword that specializes in human slashing is easy enough.

I make sure that all the falling enemies are extinct, and I am finally nervous.

"Lunier, you're all right."

Lunier raised his face with a terrifying fear, and gasped at the body rolling on fresh snow.

"I'm dead ...?"

"Yes, I killed"

After staring at the corpse seriously, Prince Lünier breathes a lot and says to me:

"Thank you, grandpa. I was saved."

Even if you look at the bloody body, you have enough time to work on me. He is a strong man.

"It's nothing more than injuries to Lünier. Let's hurry."

My home town, Petka, a cold village in the north, is coming soon.

But looking around for vigilance, I find out that the threat has not left.

"Lyunie, patience for a while .... I still have a little pursuit."

The five now seem to be just scouts, discarded pieces to see where they are going.

While stranded, he is completely surrounded.

About twenty people.

The situation is not good.

With my current physical strength, it would be fine if I could defeat three or four people at best. Twenty people are impossible in my heyday.

But that doesn't matter.

Kill all enemies.

When I drew the sword, the prince fell on the snow again.

A smart person.

We must protect Lünier both for Prince Dniesk and for Prince Ivan.

I am now alone alone guarding the future of the Dniesk family.

What an honor as a knight?

The one who doesn't get excited about this is not a knight.

I hold my breath.

This is on a slope. The enemy needs to run up the slope, and his breath and pace are disturbed. Thanks to the lush trees and the slopes, no arrows can reach.

As expected, the enemy disturbed the platoon.

"Uoooooo!"

The first enemy attacking with a shout is slashed to Yokogi.

The first enemy has the fastest legs.

In order to escape, you must kill them.

From there, he slashes, stabs, and cuts off enemies that run up the slopes one after another.

This cannot be said to be intact either.

Blades hit the chain mail under the hood many times, sparking sparks.

Believe in the magically enhanced chain mail and slash any enemies.

However, due to the continuous battle, my breath is disturbed.

The sword line has become dull.

Feel the enemy is getting used to this terrain. It has been spread and surrounded.

It is dangerous, but we cannot leave this place to protect Lünier.

"Guu!"

The enemy thrust out, and I was momentarily delayed in preventing it.

The chain mail cannot prevent the blade, causing severe pain on the left shoulder.

"Muu!"

The blade cut the enemy's skull, but the sharpness was dramatically reduced. Have you run out of magic?

And bleeding doesn't stop. I need a blood stop now. Power is lost from the limbs.

Fighting spirit overflows, but doesn't listen to what the body says.

More than a dozen enemies still remain.

Isn't the war coming yet?

Move, old bones.

I want to die in battle, but I have a life to protect.

When I was desperately thinking about ways to win, suddenly a terrible shock swept around.

Sound. It's a sound hammer. The enemy blows away.

Is this sound a howling wolf?

This is no longer a fighting explosion.

Expertly trained masters say that they defeat enemies without touching them.

But that doesn't matter now. This is an opportunity.

"Uoh oh!"

She is engrossed in swinging a sword and piercing the throat of an enemy with a mochi. Smash another enemy's head with a returning sword.

At this moment, kill as many as you can.

I thought so, but suddenly noticed that the enemy had been wiped out.

It is an incredible death.

His torso has been torn, his head has disappeared, and his limbs have fallen apart.

This won't happen even if a bear attacks you.

Did you kill more than ten people while I killed two people?

The man himself who accomplished this killing was quickly found.

I can not believe that. Isn't that a werewolf?

Did it not yet perish?

Or am I seeing a vision at death?

The black werewolf was still black, even if he returned.

The werewolf, who dyed white snow red, turned to me.

If there was a werewolf slash ... no, I couldn't win. No matter how hard he trains, he never beats the werewolf.

Can a person practice swords and win avalanches and mountain tsunamis?

That kind of strength.

A werewolf slowly approaching. Despite the casual steps, there is no gap anywhere. It's like an intimidating wall.

I hold my sword in one hand and wait for this overwhelming threat.

But the werewolf stepped into the space between Sui and me, reaching for an intimidating hand with claws.

I couldn't respond to the movement I could see.

The moment the Wolf's hand touched my left shoulder for a moment, the bleeding and pain stopped. The wound is healing.

Did he cure the wound with magic?

Does this werewolf use magic?

Such a werewolf has never been heard before.

The black werewolf is not hostile and stands proudly in front of me.

"Did you help me ...?"

I thought it was a silly question, but the werewolf nodded silently.

The werewolf looked back and pointed to the village at the foot.

That's not my destination, but I can see something in the distance.

It looks like the Milaldia flag.

I don't have that information, but it looks like a Miralardia flag.

`` Milardia Army !? Why here !? ''

The werewolf does not answer. Just stare at me and point at the Milaldia flag.

Are you from the Milaldia Army?

No way, this is the demons' army that hears rumors ...

"You are happy"

When he turned his eyes to ask that question, there was no werewolf there.

I left the spot in an instant, without even letting me feel.

It's a series of incredible things, I just think I'm dreaming

But this is reality.

At that time, Lunier utters anxiously.

"Hey, hey, grandfather ... can I raise my face?"

I turn around and look around. All enemies have been destroyed.

"... Thank you, Lunier."

In my voice, Lünier suddenly looks up.

Then I looked around and looked up at me.

"What happened !? What did this grandfather do?"

"No, not me. Apparently we were helped by a werewolf."

`` Wolf !? That wolf !? ''

"I can't believe it, but I certainly saw it."

If you talk to anyone, nobody believes.

I can't believe most.

But now there is more to do.

"Lyunier, let's descent and go to the village at the foot. It looks like Milardia's army is coming."

"Isn't the Milaldia army an enemy?"

"I don't know. Just ..."

If the werewolf were to kill us, we wouldn't bother to do that.

And if my enemy's hand reaches home, I cannot protect Lunier with my own power.

The commander of the Milaldia army is that duel. He would talk.

No way was the werewolf now.

No, no way.

In any case, Lord Weim has no control over Rolmund's law and rule. He was a modest person, and it didn't seem bad to commit his last wishes.

"The Miladian army has Lord Weid. He would be on your side as Lünier."

"Yes ... yes"

I'm not convinced, but now I have no choice.

Lünier smiles to hide his anxiety.

"I love Sir Weid. That person is kind, so I'll be fine. Let's go, old man."

I smile and drop my head, like Lünier, who seems to be patient.

"My Lord, as I say it"
