Episode 364: The Aspiration of Ambition 8

"It's late! Don't break the platoon! The sun will fall before the camp is ready!"

In the woods approaching sunset, Zakar yells at the rear cavalry.

The mercenaries tremble and hurry to grab the reins, but they are not originally professional cavalry, and horses are just riding horses.

After a while, the line of the march will be disturbed again.

"Did you squeeze troops down to 500 for horses ..."

Zakar is restless because most of the spies do not return.

I don't think there was an enemy ambush, but I would have escaped.

A series of soldier breakouts is a sign that the army will collapse. In the units led by Zakar, there have been few breakouts in the past.

(I'm sorry ... but this is also the patience of getting the Vulcan treasure.)

"Hey, what happened to the Kummerk squad?"

"I don't seem to have returned yet ..."

Zakar's response is increasingly frustrating.

It is unlikely that the man will escape.

If so, they may have been attacked or lost somewhere.

(Should I get offended and prepare for the attack?)

Mercenaries are marching on a single road in deep forest.

The mercenaries are accustomed to fighting in battle, but cannot ride in combat. It will be destroyed if it is hit unexpectedly.

However, in a dangerous situation where the spies did not return, the mercenaries continued to advance.

(If you're afraid of danger, don't get anything you can get ...)

Zakar decides.

According to the information he has obtained in the Secret Book of Inheritance, the mountain people are less than a thousand tribes scattered in several settlements.

If so, there will be at most a hundred pure warriors. Not an enemy of the main mercenary unit.

But the problem is the unit's morale.

This time, the search for the King is an open task, so mercenaries have no chance of looting. It's good that the likelihood of engagement is low, but expeditions are close to danger.

(I need food to boost morale)

Zakal made a quick decision and shouted out to everyone.

"Listen to everyone!-It's a mountain village soon!-They're not Kuwaites, and this is where the laws of Kuwait extend!-You see?"

The mercenaries are noisy.

A raid has been granted on site.

Zakar further says.

"I heard that the women of the mountains are all beautiful women. They are all dark-skinned wild women."

"Oh……"

The mercenaries laughed at Ninmari.

Zakar laughs too.

(I don't really know how to do that. Well, if I become a war god, I don't need these loyalties.)

Zakar thinks a bit about what to do if he fails to become a war god.

But there was no more.

(Either become a war god or die)

Half-baked, Zakar told his men:

"For a while, let's say you're going to rip off the frontier in the name of a king search."

"That's not a problem"

A familiar voice was heard from the front.

At first glance, a man stands, blocking the way of the mercenaries.

Zakar was screaming involuntarily.

"Vit !? Why here!"

But Vaid doesn't answer, and sighs with pity.

"Whether you cut the spider's thread yourself, Zakar"

"spider?"

"Kubori" does not pass through to Khul people.

But Zakar quickly saw that Waid had a hostile intent.

"Kill him!"

"Hey wait!"

Weid extended his hand and stopped him, but Zakar drew his sword and ordered a charge.

(With this difference in power, even a werewolf can win! How many people can die!)

As long as that monster is alive, you cannot escape anywhere.

Zakar's instinct was clearly telling it.

Weid never escapes.

He holds his walking stick.

(What is that ...?)

An unknown dread scares Zakar's vigilance.

The next moment, the forest approaching dusk became bright as if it were noon.

"Gyu!"

"Wow, that!"

"Wow oh !?"

Screams occur in rapid succession in the front, and the jockeys fall one after another. The horse also fell and involved a subsequent horse.

"What !? What's going on!"

Zakar felt danger, but ran the horse.

The subsequent horse continued to charge, so if you stopped, you would crash.

In addition, the intuition of the mercenary that "stop now and die" worked.

Immediately after, the front and back of the platoon became brighter than during the day.

"Guu!"

"Gyuah!"

There were screams everywhere, and at the same time the horses panicked. Non-war horses are amazed by the flash and do not accept the control of the jockeys.

"Wow !?

"Hey, don't bump!"

"You are!"

There is confusion here and there, not when you are bullying.

Meanwhile, the number of safe cavalry is steadily decreasing.

Zakar ran a horse and saw the cavalry crushing his head and shoulders.

"It's above! Something has been dropped from above! Spread it out!"

A band of light falls around to prove the word. It's like a meteor.

"Good!"

"Let's run away! Run into the forest!"

Some cavalry are off the road and try to escape into the forest.

But as if the horse were suddenly scared of something, it was nailed in place.

"Oh, move!"

"Ugyaa!"

The light falling from above defeats the mercenaries.

(What is that ?! Not only are you being attacked with new weapons from overhead !?)

Apparently there are ambushers in the forest off the road.

I had no idea what the potential was.

The light falling from overhead is sporadic, but the flash dazzles the eyes. The horse is frightened and neither fights back nor flees.

In the forest, which turned into a hell picture, Zakar's warhorses endured and ran over other horses.

At first glance, there is no effective force. The survivors are still modest, but have no control over the horses, and the jockeys themselves have lost their will to fight.

(Useless!)

Zachar ran through with the mercenaries being defeated one after another as shields or as decoys.

There are no escorts or followers around Waid. Probably most of the enemy forces are lurking in the trees and the forests to the left and right.

The safe exit is no longer behind, but it should also be anticipated by Waid. The exit may be considered blocked.

(If so, run beside the Vight!)

Vaid fires violently with mysterious weapons, and the assaulting cavalry is knocked down in a flash.

Zakar ran by the confused cavalry as a shield.

(Hooray!)

Waid notices Zakar, but cannot reverse due to an attack on mercenaries.

This is what Zakar was aiming for.

"Oh, wait!"

"Hey, you've escaped alone! Is there a Zakar!"

He heard voices other than Vite from behind, and several striations ran, but did not hit Zakar.

(I'm a lucky guy ... no, I have a destiny)

Zakar is encouraged by his last-minute luck.

The hustle and bustle of the battlefield leaves far away, and the darkness of the night wraps around.

Zakar relied on the memory of the map obtained from the secret book and ran a horse.

An old stone temple that rises on the mountainside.

At last, the warhorse blows bubbles and falls down because he keeps running uphill.

But Zakar abandoned his horse and ran to the temple gate.

(I'm finally here!)

All you have to do is take the "God of War God" enshrined inside the temple. I know how to use it.

"This is your choice, Zakar"

The voice was heard from behind.

"Now !?"

Turning around in a hurry, a sad-looking Vite stood.

`` Well, in the meantime !? ''

"I don't think we can escape from the werewolf because they had been hunting humans for hundreds and thousands of years."

Weid slowly climbs the stone steps of the temple.

Zakar held his sword, but Vaid transformed slowly as he climbed the stone steps.

A terrifying werewolf with darker hair than the darkness of the night.

The full moon that began to shine sometime illuminates the figure.

"There is no war god jewel here. This is the temple that the mountain people used to conduct the trial. Don't be fooled by a false secret, Zakar."

"What!?"

Zakar tries to hold himself, but is overwhelmed by the power of a werewolf standing in front of him. There is no win at all.

In addition, other werewolf gathered around. There will be dozens.

In return, Zakar is alone.

"This is the end of your ambition."

When the black werewolf told him, the werewolf howled at once.
