The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 91: I wish we had nothing to happen
The defense battle to protect the seventh reclamation village from a squadron of knights of Karkans dressed as bandits was proceeding smoothly only in terms of protecting the village.
The thirty archers and infantry surrounding the village had already been cut in half by the time Bandarou killed Kalkan.
"Ooh oh oh!
"Woah! @ Golem !?"
"Noah ah! What is this slime?"
The quasi-knights who were waiting around the village should have just shot the villagers who escaped from their lives with arrows, but they actually came to stone or liquid metal that seemed to be slime at first glance It was a golem made of "dead iron".
There were 10 Golems that Vandaloo installed underground, including three Stone Golems of rank 3 and three "Dead Iron" golems in liquid state of Rank 7. These are the effects of [Reinforcement] and [Reinforcement], and are equivalent to monsters with ranks 1 to 2 above.
Half of the knights would have been able to escape a slow-going golem, if not enemy. But they fell apart because they surrounded the village.
"Well, why there is only a goblin, where a lot of golems have black slime!"
The last knight disappeared after being swallowed by the dead iron golem, which had been covered in waves. Dead iron is liquid, but weighs the same as the original iron. Moreover, since it is suppressed by the golem's strength, once swallowed, it is impossible to escape unless you have enough muscle strength.
"Ooooooo"
The golems, with the corpses of the quasi-knights, headed to a small dungeon created by Vandaloo. To hide the corpse.
The Casims were doing well against the ten cavalry.
"Uoooooo! [Stone shield]! Shield bash!"
Kassim strikes with a shield that has increased his defenses, and the quasi-knight who couldn't accept it falls off.
Xeno aims at the quasi-knight, but a friend blocks the line to make it happen.
"Guu! I'm going to be a false threat!"
Fortunately, she was lightly dressed in armor, and as soon as she knew she couldn't activate [Shield Bash] because she wasn't able to activate her skill level.
"It's a sign of spirit!"
Because we have to fight ten to three, we can't do it unless we get excited.
Festa was swordly sworded beside him.
"Uoooo! I protect Lina!"
Activate [Swordsmanship] martial arts that fire quickly and continuously, aiming for enemies on horseback.
The quasi-knight avoided the Fester's thrust, twisting himself for the first time, deflecting it with his own sword the second time, and eating it a third time, but with only a small amount of side meat cut off.
"A chance ... ??"
[Three-step thrust] is a technique that strikes three times at a terrible speed, but conversely, if you surpass the thrust three times, it is also an art that can make a gap.
The knight, who knew it, tried to fight back three times, even with a slight hand injury, but was swiftly brought vitality from the side that should have been slightly injured, and lost power.
This is the effect of [Enhancing Killing Power] given to Fester's sword.
"Zeyap!"
The normal thrust of the Fester, who pierced the gap of the quasi-knight, entered the gap of the armor, and the quasi-knight stripped his white eyes and dropped off.
"Anton!"
"Who's next! I'm gonna go and let Rina touch one finger!"
"Who is it?"
Federal Knights are upset when their fellows are knocked down, and Fester is able to withstand the psychological shock that killed a person for the first time.
"Anton's enemy!"
According to his words, two quasi-knights are coming.
"Dumb, what do you do to provoke!"
"[Provocation]!"
Zeno immediately restrains the quasi-knights with a bow, and Kasim turns his quasi-knights' aim at himself with a martial art [provocation] that forcibly guides the enemy's hostility.
"This guy is stronger than I heard."
The Kasims were strong enough that the Vice Commander muttered unintentionally. All three have the same level of adventurers as the E class, but they already have the same abilities as the D class.
Therefore it is more than five minutes in ability with associate knights. With the addition of Vandalou's magic, it became a powerful enemy who could not be guarded even by 10 to 3.
I was afraid that each one would be destroyed if dispersed to target villagers.
(What is Captain Kalkan doing ?!)
Originally, it would have rushed from both the front and back gates and destroyed each adventurer and villager who resisted while disturbing, but if they did not lose as they were, the damage would be too great.
"I'm the opponent of the swordsman! Two people keep the shield as it is, and the rest get rid of the bower!"
The commander instructed the uprising quasi-knights to run down the horse to Festa, saying that there should be no more dead people on his side.
He has the same job and status as a regular knight, as does Karl Khan. If you take advantage of the advantage on the horse, you will not lose so easily even if it is given magic.
"That's fucking! Zeno, you managed to escape!"
As she screamed at her friends and tried to intercept the Vice Commander, Feather felt that something was passing by at a blazing speed.
Then, the head of the enemy who tried to intercept disappeared with the sound of fruit exploding above.
""""""eh?""""""
Involuntarily the Festa, and the quasi-knights, also leak a stray voice. Noticing that the master's head had exploded, the running horse ran straight past the Festa.
A long sword falls from the hand of the captain, who shakes and shakes.
"It was almost hitting a horse. [Spinning] It is difficult to aim the gun. I thought that it would be possible to use liquid metal dead iron so that you do not have to be careful not to crush the bullet. Is there no use? "
When I heard such a voice and looked up, there was a bandalud with many black spheres of fist size floating around.
"The rest goes normally."
In front of the quasi-knights who have not recovered from their astonishment, several black flame spears appear around Vandaloo.
"Well, wait--"
"[Black Flame Spear]"
In order from the quasi-knight who seems to have tried to surrender immediately, he fires magic on all quasi-knights.
“Cho !? Oi! Did you try to surrender now?”
"I'm sorry, I wasn't on time."
I feel sick after a few lies, but it can't be helped.
"Well ... well, it's because of me. I kept my weapon."
Kasim said that he had lost interest in the corpses. From the perspective of him, the knights were just bandits, so he never blamed the relentlessly killed Vandaloo, and seemed surprised and questioned.
"I was saved, I was terrible if I was late to come back. I've saved my life for the second time."
"Is this all? Then tidy up the corpses, no, you have to collect them before the horses escape."
"Wow!"
"... Fester, you go to the village chief to explain."
"Well, I'm sorry"
"I'll chase because there was one bandit who fled."
"Alone-yes, I think it's okay, can you help me out?"
"I'm OK, I'd like more than me here"
"Do you get it"
After seeing the flying vandaloo, Kasim frowns, noticing that he must collect pieces of the shattered enemy's head.
"I wish I had it all baked."
"Kappa ... hang over ..."
Froto was appalled at his own body, which had not been moved as if replaced by a stone, and looked desperately at the countless compound eyes staring at him.
A rank 3 paralyzed moss that scatters scale powder containing paralyzed toxin.
A rank 2 carcass fly that eats a weak creature while dissolving it with acidic saliva.
A clear dragon butterfly of rank 3 that can be transparent in a short time.
A jungle killer, rank 4 chameleon mantis.
And a metal armor is a rank 5 semetary bee with a strong jaw and a stinging needle that breaks like a candy craft, and a rank 4 lancet epidee with a stronger angle and exoskeleton than iron.
The sound of the jaws and feathers sounded like a countdown to his death.
He is an excellent sorcerer, but he has little practical experience as a researcher. Karlkan brought Frotto because he knew all of the faces of the pioneer villages rather than as a force.
Still, some monsters, other than Cemetery Bee and Lance Centipede, could have managed to get rid of them. One type of poison could be detoxified by magic.
Despite the commonality of insect-type, more than a dozen at a time, Froth had no power to deal with raids of multiple races, and there was no technology to quickly detoxify multiple poisons.
(This is supposed to be this! Someone, help me! I am not a good person to die in such a place! If I die, the loss is immeasurable for this country !?)
The only moving eyeball desperately seeks help, but there is no guess at all. His superior, Karl Khan, was first killed lightly, and his men followed one after another. Certainly, I feel like a spy man was mixed in.
In that situation, the other para-knights would have been killed by Vandaloo.
If survivors were there, it wasn't enough to come to help, and even if they did, I don't think they could defeat this herd of demons.
When she gave up saying that it was no longer possible, red and purple navy eyes appeared from behind Mushiko.
"Long time no see"
Vandalou, who killed the Karlkans in a blink of an eye, looked down on Freto with an emotionless face and voice.
(Hi!)
Freto, who cannot speak, screams in her chest. Vandalu continued, reaching out to him.
"I've heard a lot from the spirit of Karl Khan. I'm not a priest, but a hired magician who was sneaking in to crush the pioneer village. Your purpose is to succeed."
(Everything is out there !?)
Astonishingly fearful, and cursing in the heart Karlkan, who sold himself immediately, despite being dead spirits.
(Wait, I stopped! There was no point in such a raid, but Karl Kang was forced!)
He conveniently forgot that, except for the Seventh Pioneer Village, which had been supposed to have been destroyed by some of the operations involving Froth himself prior to the raid, he complained, but his tongue poisoned his words. Never spin.
"I have something to say, but I don't want to hear from you.
But he did the trouble. "
Defeated bandits to protect the village. That is no problem. However, it is actually a problem if the bandits are knights.
Normally, Karl Khan and others are disposed of as shame of the knight. However, given the fact that refugee issues and settlement projects were originally abandonment policies, and that while at the end it was almost arbitrarily determined, Karl Khan was working with Lucas, it is not likely to end so easily.
Apparently he came out as an exercise ... but it's certain that the knights would find that Karlkan was missing and that bandits who had been slain in the settlement would be connected equally.
At that time, how they move. The advantage for Vandaloo and the reclamation village is that they do not move.
Nothing happens if the knights and nobles run safely and the Karkans treat themselves as missing during the exercises, regardless of bandits.
However, Vandaloo, by then, could no longer trust the Dukes of Hartner or the noble family near him.
Surely something will come.
"If you knew that you were a knight before killing, you could have been alive and captured and you could do a lot of demonization, but ... you're too elaborately dressed up. Is it unreasonable to say until? ''
Vandalou's hand gradually approaches Froth. Froth was not worried about when his hand would emit a black flame, or when his claw would extend from his finger.
But that was not the case. Vandaloo's hands remain shaped to fit Froth's face. Frotto thought she might help.
(Thank you, thank you very much! I'll tell you anything I know and I'll do anything for you! So help --- !?)
Insects grew silently from Vandalu's cold hands touching his cheeks.
Imagine that a number of colorful but poisonous wormless heads grew out of Vandaloo's hands, and crawled over Froth's face, twisting its long body.
"Is it beautiful? This is a type of parasite that parasitizes the body of living things. It parasitizes the brain, internal organs, and many other places. As I said earlier, it does not take over consciousness. Everything remains clear. ''
Wet parasites enter the body through Flot's mouth, nose and ears.
"Huh, eh, uh, oh, oh!"
Vandalou confessed, watching the creepy and creepy cramps of Freto.
"I'll tell you because you probably didn't notice. I'm very angry."
Vandaloo was angry and disappointed at Frost's betrayal. He was impressed by Froth and thought he was a good follower of Arda.
This is a betrayal. I want to erase the past worried about his safety.
"Well, if you were originally an operative, I wouldn't have noticed that I'm just stupid. I'm just stupid to be stupid to be deceived."
(I don't think so!)
The sound of the living Froth is inaudible to Vandaloo.
Waiting for the bug to finish infesting Froth, Vandaloo grabbed his body.
Then, without sound, Froth's body goes into the hands of Vandaloo.
(Wow, what happens to me !? Someone help me!)
Without being able to deliver the shout to anyone's ears, Froth vanished into Vandaloo.
"It's a trick, but creatures with parasites can be equipped with [insect art]."
In order to carry in the dungeon the ghouls at the magical territory of the Duke of Hartner and the livestock obtained from the farms in the dungeon, Vandalus parasitized them with insects, equipped them, and transferred them.
However, at that time, a single harmless insect was parasitized just before it was transferred in the dungeon, and was released as soon as it reached Tarosheim.
Carrying the Float alive to Tarosheim, the corpse will not be found by the people of the pioneer village, and the ghosted Float will never appear around the village.
[Captivating death attribute] is not absolutely perfect, so if you can afford it, just put it in.
Just because the capacity was reduced by equipping the float, only one could not be stored.
"Is this unexpected situation a problem when equipping to the last minute of capacity?"
"Which is it?"
Pete who says what to do. He's now ranked Lance Centipede and is bigger than Anaconda.
"... Well, the gatekeepers are already aware and will be fine."
You may be scolded a bit, but maybe you'll be fine.
"For the time being, once the bandits have been cleared, we must place Remulus in the town of Nyaki and around Nineland. Let's release the insect undead ...
The villagers of the Seventh Pioneer Village were amazed by the bandits' raids and praised Vandaloo and Kasims who prevented them. Since it was morning, it was not a feast as it was, but it was noon while stripping the bandit's equipment, burying ashes and burning horses in Vandalu so that the corpse did not become undead, So we decided to celebrate.
"Don't shout each person's name!"
"Well, I was desperate to protect you!"
"So, don't shout like that in front of everyone! I say when I'm alone."
Fester is recovering from the emotional shock that killed him for the first time, and his relationship with Lina is likely to progress.
The goal is still ahead, as the staff of the adventurer's guild and the active adventurer's men and women will not be able to marry unless one retires.
"... I don't understand. I've always known he likes Lina."
"I can't understand it, or I'm just lonely.
"Do you know? Maurice's guy seems to have engaged at that age."
"Oh, my childhood friend ... how can she be done?"
Casim and Zeno stare far away.
(Speaking of which, Braga was also saying this with her single fellow until spring)
"Vandaloo, I don't know if you're the age ... but get along with the girl."
"... I do it."
This was a vandaloo who had no choice but to answer the Qashims, thinking that he would be told a lot later.
Later, he silenced about Freto, who was still cramping in his body.
Later, in the reclamation village, Rina, the adventurer's guild office, reported that he had repelled all twenty bandits, and paid the Kasims. ...... The villagers don't even know that there were thirty people killed by the golems.
The horses on which the Kalkans were riding were all of Vandaloo. Originally, he defeated most of the bandits, so the rewards were allocated to Kassims and the horses were allocated to Vandaloo.
However, since there is no use in Vandaloo, the horses will be allocated to each reclamation village and will have a second life as farming horses.
"Now I'm an ordinary person, so if you receive horse money you will have to pay taxes because it is commercial, so if you become an adventurer, please pay appropriately."
"Hmm, is it good? I have nothing to offer as security ..."
"It's good, because I'll throw my whole horse."
If you bring the horse alive, Sam will be hurt.
"Bochan! Do you run on a living horse while someone I am! ?
"Sam, even if you don't tell me to stuff the cheating host ..."
When I was collecting livestock and seedlings from a village in the past, I accidentally got a farming horse.
Apparently Sam has a sense of danger as Vandalou can fly in the sky for a long time and can teleport between dungeons.
(Let's go to the commercial guild for horse leasing)
Suddenly I think about that, but there is a problem with the origin of the horse, so it is better to look at it for a while.
Afterwards, Kasims, who were prepared for actually defeating bandits, seemed to have successfully surpassed the D-class promotion test they took in the town of Niak.
At that point, nothing had happened yet.
[Surgery], [Cooperation], [Enhancement of Subordination], [Enhancement of Subordinates], [Enchantment of Death Attributes], [Throwing Art] have been upgraded!
[Yarn Refining] skill acquired!
For a short time in the new year, Prince Lucas glanced at his subordinates with a sullen glance, unwilling to sip on a glass of mulled wine.
Here's the warmth of his office, but his subordinate's gall seems to be cold. It seems to be hard to see the face and shoulders as evidence.
Although he may need this mulled wine better than himself, it was not a warmth but an administrative question that Prince Lucas gave him.
"So, where is Karkan Lassen and his party?"
His subordinate's face became even stronger.
The problem was that a knight named Karlkan Lassen and his squadron, who had been training for two weeks, were missing.
Prince Lucas himself was aware that Karl Khan said his name and face were in a corner of memory. A person in charge of one of a number of back crafts in a succession battle with his brother Belton.
From the Lassen family, who served the knights of the Duke of Hartner for generations ... a very average knight from a family of generations who ended with one knight.
Of course, one knight is not bad. It protects the territory from demons, criminals and enemy nations, and is a worthy role as a model for soldiers and folk.
But Karlkan wanted a position above his abilities. There, a subordinate who is tensing up in front of Prince Lucas now ... Pablo Merton, the Commander of the Red Knights, paid attention and was entrusted with one of the works.
"That's ... I didn't hear anything after the schedule, and when I looked up the people, I didn't seem to be at the training site.
Also, there was a report in the adventurer's guild that the reclamation village was attacked by about 20 horse-riding bandits, but was successfully repelled. ''
The answer was that Prince Lucas was dizzy without drinking wine.
"I see. Well, that weird village was attacked by a wealthy bandit on a horse of about twenty people. That little village? Pablo, if there were more than fifty, not twenty, bandits. Was there? "
"No, the Adventurer's Guild record says there are twenty. But ... I think so too."
In other words, Kalkan would have left the town, leading the squadron, pretending to be an exercise, dressing up as bandits, storming the pioneer village, and returning.
Three small knights and fifty squads of associate knights are destroyed in a small settlement. It's hard to believe, even considering that the quality of the equipment has been somewhat reduced in order to act as a bandit.
But last year in the Duke of Hartner, there were many incredible things for Prince Lucas.
What Kalkan did and the way it ended was one of the most incredible things for Prince Lucas.
"Don't do that pioneering business ... no, I should have ordered all work to be stopped shortly after Berton's scorn was revealed?"
"This isn't the case when you're pulling on your feet," Luciko had ordered to stop the underground work.
Belton himself seemed innocent, but it was an incredible event that several powerful nobles had given the original vampire. Rather than losing reliance on other dukes when mishandled, a number of those who claim to be deprived of their duke's ranks "can't be left to traitors of mankind".
No, there may be a series of uprisings before that.
The duke of Hartner might have ended up if it was all about pulling legs, so we stopped many of the underground works ... Why did Karkan move?
"That's ... apparently impatient."
"I see. I've chosen that kind of person.
Sighing, Prince Lucas thought about how to deal with this problem.
It is not good that everyone is missing due to an accident during the exercise. Unfortunately, it's not a big problem.
The quasi-knights, led by Kalkan, were children of the knight, among them the second and third sons of the noble family. Naturally, their parents are supporters of Prince Lucas. He naturally knows the struggle between him and his brother.
So if you're missing you won't be convinced, but with a little overpowering you will still be dissatisfied, but you can silence it.
However, the problem is that the movement of the reclamation village is eerie.
"What do you think of those villagers?"
"Perhaps ... you're going to have your weaknesses."
"I agree"
It is delivered to the adventurer guild as twenty bandits instead of fifty. This was interpreted by Kouko Lucas as an expression of the pioneer village saying, "I'll keep this silent, don't you understand?"
In fact, scandals are poor at this time. You can do whatever you normally can, but now it is time for the eyes of the elected kings and other dukes to look for this coarse. I don't know what kind of difficulties you will get.
So knowing this truth is a sufficient weakness.
For this reason, Prince Lucas recognized that "by some means, the villagers and the adventurers from the village had all returned and defeated the Karlkans."
If Karlkan had reported in detail about Vandalu, Prince Lucas would have made a different guess. Karlkan, however, did not report much about Vandalu, fearing that he would be able to cope with it until the moment of death.
"Perhaps a Sauron knight or something has slipped into the refugees, and maybe they are going to build their own power.
There's no magical area around it, and slave mine has done that, so people will rarely come in.
Noble Lucas exhaled, as Pablo's speculation would have left him.
Unconscious because he himself treated the refugees as evil, trying to use them as consumables called junior soldiers, and crushing some of the same reclamation villages as a result of craftsmanship with his brother. It was related to the fact that they recognized them as enemies, "if they had the opportunity, they would hurt themselves."
And you can't leave an unidentified force from Sauron territory in your Duke of Hartner territory.
"Pablo, you're to blame. Deal with the Red Knights."
