Episode 60. Each role (3)

Tournoble covered in thick darkness just before dawn.

The three shadows quietly slipped through the south gate of the castle and quickly hid themselves in the bushes.

Shasha Shock-

“I go up there.”

Carl, orientated at the forefront, pointed to a nearby tree.

It was a broad-leaved tree with very thick leaves and was quite tall, so if you climbed up, you could see far away.

Tadat!

The sword surged up in an instant, kicking off the tree stump on the other side, and climbed to the top of the tree at a speed faster than that of a monkey.

Meisa and Hanson, who were watching it from below, opened their mouths.

“What are you doing? If you don’t come up quickly, I’ll find out.”

“oh!”

However, compared to Hanson, who wore only a priestly uniform and a sword and thin leather armor, Meisa was wearing the plate mail she received from her family.

I was hesitant because it was not easy to climb the tree because of this, but Hanson, who was next to me, said.

“Can I help you, priest?”

“I would appreciate it if you would, but… … how?”

Meisa and Hansson are estranged from each other not long after they met.

But Hanson wasn’t the type to bother with that.

“I will throw it.”

“Are you throwing? Oh wait!”

Hanson grabs Meisa by the sides and sighs! and threw it up.

Even though she was a woman, Meisa never neglected training and even wore armor.

Surprisingly, she soared to the middle of the tall tree.

Then the knife on top quickly came down and stretched out his hand.

“oh!”

chin!

With the help of the two, Meisa safely landed on a branch at the top of the tree.

Looking down, Hanson, despite his large size, was nimbly climbing up the tree.

“Wait here.”

Carl said as the three of them settled down on the high ground.

According to the plan, the Turnoble troops who opened the eastern gate and left would cause a commotion.

After that, look for the gap to find the boss gnoll and eliminate it.

Carl focused his divine energy on his eyes.

“Is that guy?”

A pitch-dark night.

However, thanks to the divine power, the sword could be seen as clearly as daylight, even far away.

His sight caught a huge one, one head taller than the other gnolls.

“It’s almost the size of an orc. What did you eat to grow that big?”

A monster that walks on two legs on the head of a hyena or wolf when it comes to play.

Even if the hair is long, it bends with the waist.

Thanks to that, the size itself wasn’t too threatening, but the guy I’m looking at now was as big as a person.

It meant only one thing.

‘He must be older and have a lot of experience.’

Then Maya asked.

“That guy, do you see anything?”

In the midst of total darkness, only the weapons held by the goblins near the castle wall occasionally flashed.

Tournoble is a really pitch-black world because all the torches on the walls have been turned off for a surprise attack.

However, when Carl said as if he was looking at something, Meisa became curious.

“I found the boss. It’s a big game.”

“… … You must have very good eyesight.”

“It’s like that.”

It was then.

At the eastern gate of Tournoble, dozens of torches were lit simultaneously.

Cheers broke out with him.

“Defeat the goblins!”

“Avenge the murdered citizens!”

“charge! Waaa!”

Chae chaeng chaeng!

Soon, the sound of metal clashing, the sound of something exploding and crushing, and screams spread one after another.

“It’s started!”

“hmm.”

“Shouldn’t we go raid the gnoll now? why nothing… … ?”

A knife that does not move even though the operation has started.

Meisa asked with a puzzled face.

Then the knife quietly pointed to one place.

“There are a fair number of goblins clustered around the leader, Gnoll. He noticed our operation.”

“omg!”

“It looks like we saw us break through the siege at the eastern gate earlier. That chief gnoll won’t budge until we show up.”

“Then what?”

There was urgency in Maysa’s voice.

It was natural.

Because his father was also among the people who were buying time at the eastern gate.

“I can’t help it. It is an all-out war.”

“… … !”

Full up!

The knife came down lightly from the tree.

As Hanson and Maysa came down, Carl drew his sword.

“It’s a little different, but the end goal remains the same. The two of them stay close to me and look at the situation to make a way. I’ll cut the boss nol.”

“All right!”

“All right!”

Tadadat!

Carl immediately ran from the bush toward the battlefield.

Until then, a fierce battle was going on in front of the eastern gate.

“Cheak!”

“Pa, arm!”

“Cover the wounded!”

Although he came out bravely, he was surrounded by dozens of goblins and struggled.

At least, thanks to the hard work of the veteran battle priest Greg and the lord, Baron Heldern, more than ten goblins have already been defeated.

However, the other priests and soldiers were hardly able to use their strength.

“Damn it! I don’t know what happened!”

Chwiik!

After cutting down one of the goblins that charged, Greg gasped.

Then Heldern, who had his back to him and cut down the goblin in front of him, answered.

“Looks like you got caught! That guy in the middle of the fallen group is the leader! But I’m not moving!”

“… … !”

It was the leader Gnoll’s iron whip that inflicted a great wound on Heldern’s arm.

Heldern, who recognized him, let out a heavy breath as if he was resentful.

“It’s dangerous at this rate! We must withdraw back into the walls!”

A soldier’s cry.

Then Heldern spoke quickly.

“That’s not going to happen! My daughter competed with that priest!”

“ah!”

A crisis situation where you can neither do this nor that.

If you hold out without retreating, the soldiers will die, but if you go inside the gate again, Carl and Meisa’s party will be in danger.

At such a moment, it was Greg, a veteran after all, who showed his wits.

“Wonjin! Soldiers, form a circle!”

Do-do-do-do-do!

At the moment of life-threatening crisis, the soldiers’ senses were more sensitive than ever.

Thanks to this, dozens of soldiers quickly formed a circle with the wounded soldier in the middle.

“Forward the shield!”

chuck!

The soldiers hold out their wooden shields in front of them.

“Most of the goblins’ weapons are short daggers! Keep your distance with a spear and only block those who jump in with your shield!”

Chuck!

A moment of silence flowed across the battlefield as the soldiers united.

The goblins, who were madly thirsting for blood, were taken aback when the atmosphere changed instantly.

Then a soldier shouted.

“There it is!”

Taking a blind eye in front of an enemy is tantamount to committing suicide.

But at this moment, everyone’s eyes turned to the soldier’s voice.

Even the goblins did.

To the sword rushing like a darting arrow from far away.

It was the middle of the night, but Carl’s steel sword was shining in the moonlight.

Ride and ride!

Poof!

“Keuk!”

The head of the goblin who saw the knife suddenly appeared and rushed to it flew away.

Soon after, Meisa and Hanson, who arrived one beat late, also mingled with dozens of goblins.

puck!

Push!

If Hanson would crush the goblin’s head with an iron club, Meisa would pierce the throat with her rapier, relying on sturdy armor.

Every time Carl, who stood in the lead, swung his steel sword, a goblin’s head fell off.

“Kuaaa!”

The boss shouted at the appearance of three very powerful people.

Surprisingly, dozens of goblins that were besieging Wonjin started running toward it as if possessed.

“uh?”

I had never heard of monsters communicating with each other.

This time, Wonjin’s soldiers were taken aback by the surprise.

“Everyone stay calm! That priest said that the goblins are haunted by the fear of their leader, Gnoll! So chase after them and slaughter them!”

Baron Heldern’s cry.

As soon as Greg heard that, he ran out of the circle.

“Kill!”

“Let’s follow Priest Greg!”

“Wow!”

Swords and axes were stabbed in the backs of dozens of goblins who were driven by fear and gave up defenselessly.

Even then, Carl’s party was slaughtering goblins with amazing skill.

“knife! There is play ahead!”

“I will be the one!”

A gnoll mixed in with a group of goblins.

As he tried to block Carl’s path, Hanson quickly stepped out.

Kang!

Hanson’s iron club and Gnoll’s steel double-edged ax collided and sparked.

Then another gnoll lunged at the knife with its long bristle branch.

but.

“Where!”

Shhh!

He hesitated at the swiftly flying rapier and retreated.

As a result, Hanson and Maysa took charge of the two gnolls.

Then Carl said.

“Very good.”

Even though it is the first match in a battle, the rhythm matches like old comrades.

Carl thought Hanson and Maysa were far more talented than he thought.

At the same time, the knife kicked the ground.

“Ahh?”

Among the goblin soldiers, whose numbers had already been reduced by more than half, they swung their iron whips in surprise when they saw a sword as large as an orc charging at them.

However, it was an unpredictable attack.

Whoops!

With a ghastly sound, the two sharp hooks on the tip of the iron whip brushed right above the knife’s head.

It was a risky moment for others to see, but in fact, the knife accurately predicted the point where the hook would land and avoided it by slightly lowering its head.

and.

Tadat!

The sword breathed divine power into his toes and leaped high.

At that moment, the dawning sun rose beyond the horizon of the vast wheat field.

“Great?!”

Flash!

The sun’s rays on the blade of the steel blade of the surging sword obscured Gnoll’s vision.

The moment when the gnoll boss instinctively covered his eyes from the glare.

Shook!

A sword fell from the air and passed by him.

Push shot!

“Crat… … .”

Fountains of green blood burst from the great gnoll’s long neck.

dump.

The fallen Gnoll boss, clutching his wounds with both hands.

The surrounding goblins stopped moving for a moment.

“Kihehehe!?”

A group that loses its captain in an instant is bound to fall into a panic.

Not missing that moment, Hanson and Maysa excitedly wielded their respective weapons.

Tournoble’s troops were also chasing the goblins at the eastern gate and carrying out a one-sided slaughter.

“It’s over.”

Carl swung his sword and slashed the heads of five nearby goblins at once.

Then the goblins, who had completely lost their will to fight, began to flee in all directions.

“Keew!”

“Follow me! Leave no one behind!”

“If even one is sent alive, it will multiply and attack again! Kill them all!”

About half of the first hundred or so were still left, but they were defeated soldiers who had lost the will to fight, so they were no match for the soldiers.

Only the silence and the thick smell of blood remained beside Carl’s party.

Clap!

A sword that cuts a steel sword.

He approached Knoll’s corpse, which was still puffing and puffing blood.

“knife!”

Meisa and Hanson, who had also finished the fight, approached Carl with happy faces.

“I won! I defeated over a hundred goblins with less than twenty men!”

Meisa was very excited about her first-ever crew-scale battle victory.

So did Hanson.

Then Carl, who was examining Noll’s body, said.

“Don’t be overjoyed. If you get into the habit of smelling blood and savoring your victory, you will become a maniac rather than a warrior for God.”

“ah… … .”

It’s a moment of victory, so wouldn’t it be okay to congratulate you?

But Carl wanted Maysa and Hanson to become combat priests who could humbly accept victory.

In my previous life, I saw too many people who were addicted to war itself, not to save the empire.

Whether it’s a human or a monster, when you harm a creature, you feel a strange sense of pleasure.

Carl was telling the two to beware of it.

“Look at this.”

Carl lifted a section of Gnoll’s long-breasted mane.

Then, it was seen that a magical pattern was engraved that resembled a goat’s head.

“What is this?”

A pattern that seems unusual even at first glance.

Moreover, black energy was emanating from the pattern.

Carl, who was watching that, said with a displeased face.

“This guy is Baphomet’s minion.”
