Quit being a knight and become a mercenary

83 – Pastek Hill Surprise Operation (7)

If the magic was appropriate for one’s level, the magic would have come out of the wand as soon as the chant was chanted…

Because I attempted a magic that was not suitable for my level, my magical power was not properly gathered and was scattered.

Normally, I would have calmly tried to practice again, saying it wasn’t the time yet…

She clenched her teeth and, with all her might, began to gather her magic back into the tip of her wand.

“I will protect our platoon leader.”

As Lucia gathered her magic power and battled her own limitations, she recalled her memories of Martin Mayer.

Even after graduating from the Magic Academy, she was unable to get a job in a proper noble family due to her status as an orphanage, so when she was wandering around among mercenary groups, she received the grace that was given to her.

When other mercenaries teased and cursed him for being a cowardly rookie, she protected him and trusted him until the end.

When she was struggling with difficult physical training, his warm words encouraged her and told her that she could do it.

‘As I followed along without giving up on training, I was able to become a wizard recognized by everyone.’

With the salary of a senior mercenary, it was not possible to purchase the necessary equipment as a wizard or send enough money to an orphanage for a priest to feed the children.

At that time, she secretly gave me 20 gold coins and said, ‘I’m giving this to the priest who raised a great wizard named Lucia.’

Before she knew it, she had come to rely on a man named Martin Mayer and had him in her heart, and she wanted to be of some help to him.

I felt good when I saw him smile, and when he patted my head as proof that he was recognized, I felt like I could fly.

Lucia gathered those thoughts into one and mumbled so that no one could hear.

“I love you, platoon leader. So, this time, Lucia, Lucia will protect you.”

After organizing her mind, she tried to use her entire body’s stamina and magic power like a rag to use her magic that was beyond her own capabilities.

Due to her excessive use of magical power, sweat dripped down Lucia’s body even though it was not even a hot day, and her breathing became rough.

“Ha, ha, ha.”

Nevertheless, Lucia did not let go of her staff until she reached the end and looked down at her.

It seemed that Platoon Commander Martin, who was losing ground as he continued to deal with multiple enemies alone, absolutely needed, or rather needed, her support.

“I can’t lose my platoon leader.”

Therefore, Lucia tried again and again to overcome her own limitations and succeed in her intermediate level magic.

Magical power that was incomparable to when she used beginner magic gathered around her, and the eyes of the wizards around her all focused on Lucia.

“Isn’t that intermediate magic?”

“It looks like that. “Lucia, that girl is a very talented wizard, but she’s only 20 years old.”

“Until yesterday, all she did was use low-level magic.”

She received everyone’s attention, but Lucia paid it no mind and focused on her magic.

Although it was not that long in real time, it felt like it was an infinitely long time to Lucia, and finally, a huge window of flame was created in the direction her magic wand was pointing.

“I did it.”

She let out words of relief and immediately aimed her magic at the soldiers rushing around Martin Mayer.

“Spear that burns and pierces everything, give me the strength to protect my precious people! Fire Spear!”

At the same time as those words were said, a spear made of fire flew towards the enemy with such speed that Martin would have said it looked like a missile.

The spear of flame struck those who drew her sword to kill Martin Mayer.

If the fireball she shot was powerful enough to instantly turn the person it hit into ashes, then the intermediate level magic that was cast properly was.

As soon as it hit, it spread fire in all directions, as if a fire bomb had exploded.

With a radius of 1.5 Meters in all directions, it has the power to turn the lives of ten people inside into human firewood.

If it had been any other wizard, unless the current situation was very urgent, Lucia would have been jumping up and down for joy.

That’s because there are countless wizards who graduate from magic academies and cannot break through the intermediate level barrier despite decades of effort.

However, Lucia continued to chant magic, as if even having time to rejoice was a luxury.

“A spear that burns and pierces everything, give me the power to protect my precious people until the end…”

And the wizard leader of the Whitebeard mercenaries, who was overwhelmed by Lucia’s intermediate magic, closed his mouth, held his guard tightly, and gave an order.

“It’s time to get your money’s worth! Don’t fall behind Lucia! Squeeze your magic and blast until you’re on the verge of being overtaken! “Don’t be such a fool as to shoot directly at our own soldiers!”

When the wizards heard those words, they rallied and used their magic power to the fullest to fire wildly at the enemies.

“It’s time to show that our Whitebeard mercenaries are the best!”

“Die, die! Fireball!”

“Fire, burn down my enemies, fireball!”

And this support immediately had a great impact on those who were blocking the retreat of the Montmartre army.

**

I, Martin, am currently seeing an amazing scene.

A lot of magic, including intermediate level magic, is pouring down from where our mercenary magicians are.

“aaah, f*ck!”

“Someone pour some water!”

“Save people, damn it!”

The enemies were screaming and dying, and the momentum of the enemies attacking our allies was greatly weakened.

I saw a series of sudden bursts of intermediate magic… Could it be Lucia?

General wizards rarely awaken during battle, but isn’t Lucia supposed to be part of the main character’s party? If she is her, she is fully capable of awakening.

‘Lucia has become an intermediate wizard, what gift should I give her?’

When those random thoughts tried to fill my head, I shook my head vigorously to get the thoughts out.

If you think about that, you should do it after checking properly, no, after the battle is over.

Dalton shouted loudly so as not to miss this opportunity.

“Let’s just stop those bastards. This sh*tty battle is coming to an end! “Push!”

As they said, there is only one reason why we are risking our lives to stop the troops led by Baron Eclair.

If these bastards are properly stopped, there is a very high chance that the count who falls into the ambush will surrender with both hands and feet.

Now, they were ambushed by us and have already lost a huge number of soldiers. As a result, their combat power has plummeted and their morale has dropped, so even we with 2,000 soldiers will not be able to handle it.

If we keep fighting, the number of our dead will only increase, and eventually we will have no choice but to surrender.

‘Of course, if we get through before then, it’s all over.’

But what can they do when they are beaten by magic and are wandering around without their senses?

Yes, maybe we can capture the Baron who serves as the leader of this vanguard.

“Captain, f*ck. “Now is our chance, let’s capture Baron Eclair while they are distracted.”

Dalton responded by spontaneously cutting off the head of the man running in front of him with a knife.

“Let’s do that.”

Our captain immediately gave an order and ordered the wizards to stop using magic and arrow attacks.

Then Baron Eclair also thought that now was his chance…

“Rearrange your ranks! Charge once again! “There must be a way out!”

When the guys began to gather in haste according to the Baron’s orders, Dalton shook his hand without me even asking.

It’s a waste of time to say it in words. It was a signal to find an opening and invade the enemy lines as planned.

“You’re hot, you’re so hot.”

As soon as I understood the captain’s intention, I immediately raised the remaining aura in my body to the maximum.

Up until now, I was feeling hopeless inside, wondering how long I would have to keep blocking things like this…

Now that the end is in sight, I don’t know if it’s because my body wants to live, or if it’s because of the expectation that I’ll be able to receive a big reward after the battle.

Power began to well up from my entire body.

‘It is said that even marathoners who have lost all of their strength can gain an unknown strength right before completing the marathon and can run at a faster pace.’

“For the sake of Lucia, Karin, and our platoon members, we should at least capture the Baron alive. Only then will Martin be able to receive their respect and love, right?”

Muttering that, I looked at the guys standing in front of me with their weapons pointed.

This is a car that is just trying to establish a formation, so it is extremely sloppy.

Everyone got so angry that I cut them off a little too much on that topic.

“Kill that damn tin bastard!”

“A piece of trash who won’t die even when surrounded by more than 10 people.”

“A bastard tougher than a cockroach.”

How angry would you be to insult someone by calling them a can, trash, or cockroach?

But the insults they give me are a compliment that proves how scary, cruel, and great I am to them.

‘You can do it. I can capture the Baron who serves as the leader of this vanguard.’

I strengthened both hands holding the sword and ran towards him.

Then, one of the Baron’s knights, who seemed to have some skills, ran towards me…

An arrow wrapped in wind flew towards the back of the guy.

“Ugh.”

The knight fell to the floor and died.

In our mercenary unit, Karin is the only one who shoots wind-wrapped arrows…

It seems like Karin is helping me.

“If I’m being expected this much, I have to show it properly.”
