Raising Paladins

Episode 131. Rob the foundry (5)

“All the people of the empire are free people.”

said Meisa, hard-faced.

There was a chill in Meisa’s eyes, enough to blow away the heat of strong rum.

“No one has the right to buy and sell free people. The slave trade is strictly prohibited by Imperial law. It goes against the tenets of the Sun God Church.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden? Besides, you know who I am, and you’re talking dirty words?!”

The man in the captain’s hat jumped up.

An unusual air flowed around.

“Hold your head right now and apologize. How dare you look down on me, the leader of the Harpy Pirates, despite being a rookie?”

chuck!

The man spread his legs and pointed down.

“Pass my crotch with the hood undone and the head nailed. Then forgive me.”

Sreureung-.

The eyes of the man who drew the knife were savage.

The guy who had been drinking and telling dirty jokes a while ago changed his temper in an instant.

All the men gathered here are the leaders of the Harpy Pirates.

They were already covered in blood on their hands.

“hurry.”

The man’s urging voice was tinged with life.

Maysa rose slowly.

“Undo the hood?”

“okay! I immediately untied the hood, and with my bare head on the ground, my crotch… … .”

The man was unable to speak.

Under Meisa’s undone hood, her lush blonde hair slipped through.

“What, what?!”

The man’s voice was startled.

“girl? Are you a b*tch?”

Chewy.

He tore off the fake beard Meisa had glued on.

“Yeah, you bastard.”

“… … ?!”

Inside the casting window where silence flows.

A pirate stopped drinking rum and pointed at Meisa, spilling it.

“Hey, b*tch! It’s the b*tch I saw on Mediel’s island! It’s a priest!”

“fuse?!”

Chaechaechaeng!

The pirates got up and drew their weapons.

Indeed, the swift movements worthy of the leaders.

However, it was Meisa who they were dealing with.

Meisa, known as a master of various weapons in the Temple of Dawn in Meirium.

Her skill, which she had learned since she was a child and endured the glares of her parents and other nobles, shined.

flutter!

Meisa’s cloak snapped and the six daggers hiding her teeth flew away.

“Ah!”

“Ouch!”

The daggers he flew while spinning his body round and round got stuck in the vital parts of the pirates without fail.

Half of the dozen or so leaders were killed in the blink of an eye.

“What the f*ck! Blow the trumpet! Call the kids!”

At the cry of a pirate, the guy wearing a captain’s hat quickly took out a trumpet and lifted it.

“Huh!”

The guy who breathed in vigorously and filled his chest brought his snout to the trumpet.

But the trumpet did not sound.

Quick!

The tip of the sharp rapier that I had pulled out before I knew it.

A long, thin blade pierced the trumpet and his mouth at the same time and extended out.

His cooling eyes were wide open as if he had seen something unbelievable.

“Hee!”

The vast difference in skill.

I feel like fighting should be on a similar level to some extent.

But the inaction Meisa had just shown was too great.

Ssuk!

The leaders who remained until the end just trembled and fell victim to Meisa’s sword.

The only one who had his eyes open was Sie-eon.

“It’s a fight! A fight broke out in the foundry!”

“… … !”

Maysa turned her head in the direction of the shout.

There was no luck.

About a dozen people were organized in an instant, but a pirate who was dozing in the corner of the foundry shouted at the sight of blood.

It was impossible to catch him because the distance was so far.

“Follow the plan, priest!”

Si-eon stood up and spoke softly.

Maysa was still wary of him.

“Isn’t it the militia’s goal to set fire and run away in the first place? Go ahead and run! If you’re even a little late, the pirates will come in droves. I mean, there are a lot of people sleeping in the inn!”

Meisa’s eyes wavered.

‘Does Si-eon know exactly about the militia plan?!’

Sigian, who drew his sword before he knew it, read Meisa’s warning.

He said, noticing the doubt in her eyes.

“I am the captain of the Pinas militia. My younger brother, Jillian, is the commander of the unit.”

“… … !”

“I can’t believe it right now. I think I know the priest’s mind too. But if you get out alive, ask my brother. I’ve been in charge of stealing information from within the Harpy Pirates. It was originally Jillian’s job, but it ended up like this because the harpy banished us saying that if the two of us stick together, there will be people with disturbing thoughts.”

“Then why did you draw the sword?”

Meisa asked in a cool voice.

“On the surface, I’m an executive of the Harpy Pirates. Right now you are the enemy of the pirates right in front of you, isn’t this right? Come on, stab me.”

“… … ?”

Maysa was a little taken aback.

Sigian pointed at his belly with his finger.

“Here, poke the left side of the stomach. There’s no guts here, so you won’t be mortally wounded. Everyone is dead, but if I’m fine alone, the harpies will doubtfully question me. hurry!”

hooked!

Meisa’s rapier was gone in an instant.

“Kuk!”

Si-eon sat down clutching his stomach.

There was a commotion outside the casting window.

“Hey, go now… … Don’t forget to light a fire over there!”

There were a lot of wooden barrels filled with alcohol at the place where Sigian, who was kneeling, pointed.

It contains thick rum, so even a single spark will cause a big fire in an instant.

Meisa nodded.

“The next time we meet, it will be a friend or an enemy.”

***

“Captain! It is flames!”

The militia hiding on top of the hill.

I could see a huge fire rising from the center of the foundry.

It was a flame that bloomed loudly, as if it would devour the entire island if left alone.

“The priests have succeeded! let’s go!”

“Oohhh!”

Militia run down the hill with furious cries.

Guards standing on the wharf were choked by militiamen waiting below the surface with bamboo lanterns in their mouths.

The boat carrying the sulfur hidden in the corner of the island was blazing loudly and rushed towards the anchored pirate ship.

“How did this happen?!”

The pirates saw the fire in the foundry and ran carrying buckets.

Hundreds of militiamen poured from the hill, and I couldn’t come to my senses when the ship in the middle of the sea started to burn.

The heat of the flames, which lit up the night like daylight, confused them even more.

“Invasion! They’re the Pinas militia!”

Hard!

A guard near the pier shouted as he grabbed the militia’s sword.

However, the weapons of the militia that flew after them quickly turned them into minced meat.

“You go and turn off the lights in the foundry! If we let that go, we’ll all burn to death! Grab your weapons and follow me! Kill the militia!”

“Wow!”

The Harpy Pirates weren’t just idiots or idiots.

Among them was a rather calm and witty fellow, and he commanded the confused pirates.

Originally, it was the role of the leader who came out for inspection.

However, thanks to Meisa, the head of the leadership who was supposed to take on that role had gone to the side of the sun god.

“For the liberation of the Pinas Islands!”

“For the glory of the Harpy Pirates!”

Kaga gaga gaga-!

There was a series of horrific sounds of metal scraping each other’s bodies against each other.

Immediately, blood and intestines poured out everywhere.

“Ahh… … aaa… … .”

A pirate who frantically put in the intestines that spilled out of the split stomach.

His throat was slit by Jillian’s sword.

“Retreat! Secure the retreat of the priests!”

The militia’s momentum rose as soon as it rose due to the spectacular success of the operation.

They moved in the direction Gillian’s sword pointed.

The militia and harpy pirates had about 100 similar troops, but the difference between the pirates who drank rum and fell asleep and the militia, who had awakened their senses one by one while preparing for a raid, was clear.

A militia member split the bodies of two or three pirates to open the way.

“There! It’s priest!”

chuck! Chuck!

Meisa escapes from the casting window.

Creta, who had been waiting at the entrance beforehand, knocked the swords flying at her.

Just-!

The sound that rang out of Crete’s mouth.

His body, which had heightened his senses as much as possible, rotated smoothly.

Sugagak!

The three pirates who were aiming for Meisa fell.

“Looking at the thick burnt smell, it must have been successful.”

“Yes, uncle. Take my hand.”

“OK.”

If it was a quiet pier, Crete alone would be able to get out safely.

But now there were more than 200 people clashing weapons and shouting to kill each other.

In this situation, it is best for Crete to deal with close enemies.

Maysa took her uncle’s hand and led him.

“Captain! The boat has arrived!”

Evacuation boats that had been waiting in advance arrived at the pier one after another.

Meisa and Crete’s steps became faster.

“Bring the priests! Retreat like this!”

“Don’t let the militia bastards get away! Kill!”

The shouts of Gillian and the pirates intertwined in the air.

However, the pirates, who lost more than half of their troops in an instant, could not easily pursue the militia.

“Chase! Follow me!”

Some pirates write evil.

However, most of the pirates had lost their fighting spirit.

It’s heartbreaking just to have a big fire in the middle of the night, because more than 50 people died in the surprise attack.

The thick smell of blood and the sight of the pirates gasping for breath paralyzed the other pirates’ minds.

“Looks like they’ve given up the chase! Captain!”

“Ha ha ha ha! row! Get out on the current!”

“yes!”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jillian’s hearty laugh, excited.

Since the momentum has already broken, the rest of the pirates will be able to wipe out all of them.

However, it is clear that if an all-out war continues, the casualties of the militia will increase one after another.

The seasoned Jillian was clearly aware of the situation his unit was facing.

Also, there was a heart that regarded the militia as a colleague, not just subordinates.

He should have calmed down by looking at the burning casting window.

“Roaring… … hmm?”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jillian, who had been smiling, frowned.

Meisa’s gaze, safely on board the same boat, turned to where he was looking.

“sh*t! The militia missed! Everyone get up and put out the lights! If we don’t catch that fire, we’ll run all over to the harpies, you assholes! Wake!”

Some executives encouraged the pirates who were tired and sat down.

The heat of the battle hadn’t gone away yet, but what was even more terrifying was the heat of the fire in the casting window.

If the flames were not extinguished, it was obvious that all heads would be blown away in exchange for the loss of the pirates’ huge source of income.

The pirates came to their senses one by one and started putting out the fire with a bucket.

It was not difficult to get water because it was close to the sea.

“Chit… … It would have been nice if they had all been burned, but it turned out to be a pity.”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jillian clicked her tongue in pity.

His gaze turned to Meisa’s fingertips, which rustled beside her.

“Priestess, what kind of alcohol did you bring?”

In Meisa’s hand was a bottle of rum.

Maysa opened the stopper and tore the fabric off her shoulder and stuck it in.

“Some fire.”

“here… … .”

Meisa, who ignites the cloth with the militia’s torch next to her.

I handed the Molotov cocktail that I completed in an instant to Jillian.

“Hey, can you see it?”

Where Meisa pointed.

Not far from the main building of the foundry, there was a pile of large wooden barrels.

They were barrels that had been taken out to the docks to be loaded onto the pirate ship.

“Throw it over me with all your might.”

clap.

When Meisa rolled up her left sleeve, strange equipment appeared.

Made by Meisa herself, it was an emergency attack device loaded with a single small bolt.

“… … I believe you.”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jillian stretched her shoulders back.

“aaa!”

In an instant, the muscles in his arms swelled and the Molotov cocktail flew over the kegs on the dockside.

The moment Gillian threw the Molotov cocktail into the air in the middle of the barrels.

Meisa, holding her breath, snapped her wrist.

bang-!

A small steel bolt that flew without an inch of error.

Molotov cocktails exploded in the air and lit rum was sprayed in all directions.

Soon the kegs full of rum began to burst with a terrible sound.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-!

The foundry and dockside quickly became a mess.

Pirates covered in lit rum screamed and ran.

Conversely, on the boat Meisa was on was as calm as the sea.

“I-I’m guessing that’s right… … .”

Even Jillian, who was confident that she had lived through all the ups and downs of the world, was looking at Meisa with her mouth wide open.

He thrust his thumb forward.

“… … You are such a wonderful woman.”

The militiamen who had just been fighting a life-and-death battle.

Their eyes at Meisa were full of respect and envy.
