With money from conservative merchants, I hire mercenaries with the money.
In preparation for a ghost fleet raid, the ghost fleet raids were intermittent while recruiting mercenaries.
Each time he intercepted with his subordinates and hired mercenaries, his enemies probably learned. All subsequent attacks were shelled offshore.
If you land at the port, you can manage it, but you can't fight back if it's offshore. The batteries in the harbor had been neutralized, and all Bernese warships had left.
The pirate fleet shoots cannons like rain hail. I could only magically destroy or kill the cannon bullets.
"If I get closer, I'll do something ..."
The ghost captain Rosnay, who is on the beat, starts to do something outrageous.
You may have thought that long-range cannon fire would be ineffective. He places one of the guards who was captured in the previous battle on the deck.
It was the captain of the Guard who was fixed to the cross-shaped mount and bleached on the deck.
Ryoma says his name is Georg.
He is an excellent commander of security, opening the bloodstream to save his allies and remaining on the battlefield until the end. He fought violently to the end and was captured by the enemy.
The fight seemed like a symbol of self-sacrifice. The point is that he was noble and merciful, longed by his subordinates, and trusted by his boss.
But Georg is now an enemy POW. He appears to have been tortured on a ghost ship, and is reddish and full of scars.
When Jeanne sees the figure, she lowers her grief and feels pity.
"... Oh God, save that thing."
The impression was everyone's impression, not just Jeanne's, but me, but Francis Rosnay would imitate cruelty in anticipation of that.
The trick is to show the citizens of the maritime city how cruel they are and to defeat the maritime city's will to fight.
Then he should not be in his hand, but neither Rosnay nor Georg could ignore.
Rosnay shouts when standing on the deck.
"The marine cities, you have been taken care of the other day. I respect you for bouncing off my assault, but you should get down to our gates as soon as possible. If one day is delayed, some citizens may follow the trail like Georg. ''
Rosnay, in other words, receives a heated iron from his subordinate and pushes it without hesitation to Georg's chest.
"Guh ah ah!"
A painful cry resounds.
Rosnay then removes the dagger and strips Georg's skin. Just like peeling a rabbit skin.
It was cruel and couldn't be seen very much, but I kept my eye. Because he did not overlook the determination in Georg's eyes.
Georg is encouraged by Rosnay's surrender of a maritime city. Prove yourself to be the strongest marine city hero.
He said.
"Our guards in the marine city! It's all about surrenders!
Upon hearing the eloquence, Rosnay turns his face red and goes mad. I couldn't get the line I aimed at.
Rosnay became angry and tried to tear down Georg's finger to get even more cruel torture, but failed.
There was a tribute to his courage. It was unexpectedly inside the enemy. A mercenary on a different ship than Rosnay pulls out a bow and pulls it.
He put all his strength into the arrow and released it, saving Georg. Dignity, not life.
The bower's arrow pierces straight into Georg's heart. Georg died, but he did not swear.
I realized that the bow and arrow were full of mercy.
Rather, thankful words were finally said to celebrate the prosperity of the maritime city Bernese.
Rosnay looks angry, but the bower is already on the boat with a strange face.
He seems to have decided to leave the ghost fleet.
Rosnay ordered him to be killed with a cannon, but he could not do so.
When it's within reach, I cast him a 《Fortification》 spell to protect him. He deflected the cannon's shell, flipped his bow and arrow, and focused solely on saving him.
The hard work is rewarded and the man's life is saved. When a man arrives at the port, Toshizo realizes he is a member of the mercenary corps the other day.
"Husband, this is the bower of the bandits who attacked us the other day. It's the guy who fired the bow very precisely."
"I know."
"Speaking of doing, my husband, did he find out that he was an enemy and helped?"
"Oh, I know a hundred, but this man is against Rosnay. The enemy of the enemy is on your side, and the mercenaries fight not with thought, but with gold.
"That's true ..."
He was still unsatisfied, but I ignored him and asked the man.
The man reveals his identity without hesitation.
"My name is Robin, Robin Hood."
It was Jeanne who was surprised at the name. Raise your surprise.
"Is Robin Hood the legendary English archer Robin Hood?" "Yes."
Robin returns. Who is Robin Hood? I explain to Toshizo who looks like that.
"Robin Hood is a legendary archer from England in a different world. He rebels against the violence of his younger brother, who sits in a natural stake called the Sherwood Forest and takes care of the lion king Richard."
"Hey, it's like Yoichi Nasu in Japan."
There may be many things in common as legendary people whose existence is at stake.
However, Robin Hood's first appearance of a boy and the skill of a bow are on par with Yoichi Nasu. Earlier, he penetrated the heart of Rosnay precisely on the shaking sea. In his recent battle, he hit a bow where he aimed.
It may be a legendary person, but you can say he has more skill than a legend. "But you're not a man like you as a mercenary in a maritime city. Why do you do that?"
"That's a bit of a friendship, but I'll tell you, how about you, Demon King? Why don't you hire me?"
"hire"
Toshizo and Eve are surprised because it was not so short. No, even Robin was surprised.
"It's immediate. I may betray you."
"At least I'm sick of Rosnay's tricks, so I can fight together until I defeat Rosnay."
"It's a pretty sharp eye. It's going to be a reward for it."
"Of course. I'll pay 10 times the normal mercenary."
"I have to work for 10 people."
"Sponsor Marco will be pleased if you do this."
I want him an arrow. Receive an arrow from him. Paint the arrow with the poison removed from your pocket.
"Poison arrow? Rosnay is undead."
"Some poisons are also effective against the undead. This is the poison of a plant called Eurekaris."
"Yurikaris?"
"A beautiful flower that grows in the mountains of this world. It only grows in a place surrounded by miasma, and if you smoke that miasma, the evil king with an immortal body will die."
"How do you pick such plants?"
"Only dogs with two heads seem to be resistant to the miasma. I let them pick them, but when they do, they can't get a lot and they're very expensive."
Well, this time it was easy to get because there was a sponsor, but when I tie, I hand a poisoned arrow.
"If you put this on his weakness, his immortal body will collapse. And only you can hit this arrow with him. Can you please?"
Robin nods to my wish.
"It's okay. Hold the whole body and show this arrowhead to his weakness."
Robin affirms, holding the bow and pulling the strings. The bow shook to the limit and bends.
There was a considerable distance, but Robin hits from here. It created such an atmosphere.
"--And where is his weakness?"
Robin said he would pull the bow to the limit. I answer.
"His weakness is his left eye. He makes his left eye shine when he uses magic. Probably he has no magic. He seems to have a magic stone implanted in his left. It would be possible to kill him by poisoning while extinguishing that magical power. ''
"I see, his left eye glows eerily. It's convincing."
But-Robin continues.
"If I take it off here, he may notice that he has noticed a weakness, and then he may not be on the front line. Can I leave this important role to me?"
"Maybe it's a double spy."
That's all the exchanges I did before.
"But it's no use considering such a possibility. If he's not on the front line with caution, that's fine. It reduces damage."
"Is there such a way of thinking?"
"And I think you'll definitely hit."
"Well, what is it?"
"My subordinates have many irreverent men like you. Toshizo Hijikata is called Kotaro Fuma. I try to put me on something and try to find me. It will do. ''
"I see. Demon King Ashtaroth, maybe you were born under such an inn. I'm glad. I'll see Robin Hood's ability."
When Robin says so, the string is released from his hand. The angled arrow propels in an arc and heads for Francis Rosnay.
One point Rosnay probably did not expect to be fired from this distance, he was not alarmed. Without knowing that an arrow is flying, he is familiar with his subordinates and is extremely high.
Rosnay is astonished at last when the arrow hits as if sucked into the eyes of Rosnay, screaming to release the cannon.
"What, what ...! Why? An arrow in my left eye ...?"
I might be so immortal and invincible that I couldn't help but think of such an abomination with a single arrow, but I had no time to consider Rosnay.
Rosnay, who has been cut off from the source of magic and has been poisoned with deadly poisonous lilicaris, blows bubbles 30 seconds later and exhales blood 1 minute later.
He seemed to have lost his sight and his hearing, and at the end of his life, he looked up to the sky and was resentful.
The ghost captain who suffered the maritime city Bernese died. The death was miserable like a villain.
The pirates who realize the leader's death do not swear revenge, but flee to scatter. Rosnay was not a man but a horror of his subordinates.
These guys have to be teachers, but now they should send compliments to the hero who defeated Rosnay.
I said again that I turned to Robin.
"Your work was brilliant. I'll pay you 30 instead of 10 mercenaries." When Robin heard the words, he smiled and asked for a handshake.
"It's good. My bow arm should be useful in Dagon."
He vowed to remain with the Ashtaroth Army.
A hero has joined the camp again, and I'm looking forward to seeing how he will be active in the future.
