Quit being a knight and become a mercenary

92 – Battle of the Plains of the Seine (4)

As I swung my sword and killed the guy wearing armor, the eyes of the Black Lily mercenaries were focused on me.

As if the attention and interest wasn’t enough, they pointed weapons like swords and spears at me.

During the brief lull, I took a breath and observed the guys from our 3rd platoon slowly turning to the side.

“It’s pretty fast.”

Looking at the speed at which they form a square and walk, it won’t be long before they flank the Black Lily guys.

Before that, I have to break through the center and make them focus their attention and attention in this direction.

‘Only then will a joint attack be established.’

I held the sword in one hand and flicked the fingers of the other hand.

“What are you doing? “Are you so scared that you can’t even come, you little brats?”

As I scratched my pride, the sound of someone giving a command in a loud voice rang out from the center of the formation.

“Anyway, if we don’t defeat the Whitebeard mercenaries in front of us, we’ll all die! “Fight to the death!”

Once the command was issued, the lull was lifted in an instant.

A considerable number of mercenaries surrounded me and stabbed me with spears and tried to kill me with striking weapons.

“Die, you little bastard!”

“You killed our platoon leader!”

“I will rip your limbs to death.”

The weaker a dog is, the more likely it is to bark, and the weaker a person is, the more scared he is, so his mouth becomes rough for no reason…

Why on earth would I be so scared with these bastards right in front of me?

‘We’ve crossed countless limbs worse than this, you bastards.’

I grabbed the sword and launched myself at the one in front of the guy who stabbed me.

“Good, stabbed.”

However, what he and I heard was not the sound of a spear blade being driven into a person’s neck or body, but the sound of a ‘ting’ as it brushed against armor.

I lifted the pommel (weight) of my sword and hit the guy’s chin.

Thanks to the aura-filled strike, his jawbone exploded at once, and the guy wailed with his lower mouthless face.

“uuu!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, you idiot.”

I had no intention of causing him unnecessary pain, so I immediately cut off his head.

There were still a lot of enemy soldiers surrounding me, but in a one-on-many fight like this, the sooner I gain momentum, the more the balance of the game will shift towards me.

Look, even now, I blew off the lower jaw of the guy in front…

Didn’t the speed at which he attacked me slow down when he stopped for a moment?

‘You idiots, you really need to push harder at times like this.’

After clicking my tongue in my heart, I continued to swing the sword with aura.

Every time the sword drew a semicircle, either horizontally or vertically, or pierced someone quickly like an arrow, the victim’s ears rang with a deathly note.

“Aww, Mom!”

As the number of people screaming in pain and dying increased, they also began to band together and use their heads.

“That guy is a monster! So, rush in as a group! Then, only the unlucky ones will be searched, and those who survive can get all that bastard’s armor.”

It’s not like a guy like the leader of the ten who is in charge of gathering the kids and trying to corner them.

How on earth do you treat people like you’re herding a tiger?

“Cowards, really.”

As I laughed at them like that, they ran towards me in a small semicircular formation.

Even if I fight him alone like this, he won’t be a big threat…

“Century commander, we will join you!”

Our 1st and 2nd platoon leaders immediately led their soldiers and came right next to me.

They swung their own swords to protect and support me, and those who tried to wrap me in a semicircle were killed in an instant.

It’s okay if I don’t receive support from them yet, but deep down, unlike before, I have platoon leaders who support me with all their might…

It couldn’t be more reliable.

‘If I treat you this well, I can go wild a little more, right?’

“Let’s have a big funeral for all of you today, whether it’s black lilies or black black clouds!”

And rather than paying attention to the left and right sides covered by my platoon members, I was able to focus more on the guys coming to the front to kill me.

The field of view I had to see narrowed a bit, but the idea of how I was going to get through them came into clear view.

The number of enemies I had to deal with at once was also reduced, making it much easier to kill enemies.

I clearly felt that the power and impact I could exert as a knight had become much stronger.

“Is this why knights fight together with soldiers?”

When my company and I joined forces, we began to gain momentum in breaking through the 150-person phalanx, which would have been difficult to break through in the past, and getting to the center.

Gradually, they became unable to hide their embarrassment.

The seniors, who can be said to be the backbone of this mercenary group, were like this, so the newbies rushed at me like children, not knowing what to do.

“Die! “The enemy of our senior mercenary!”

As he is just a new member of the mercenary army, it is natural that he does not have proper swordsmanship skills, but how scary can he be…

Is the tip of the sword being swung shaking from side to side?

“Go to the afterlife to take revenge.”

I deflected the sword swinging at me, followed the flow, and immediately stabbed the guy in the neck, killing him.

And then, to my left, I began to hear loud shouts from the other platoons of our hundred people.

“Century Martin is fighting directly at the vanguard!”

“At least thrust a spear into the side of these cowards!”

“Kill every single one of those guys!”

As those who could not properly block attacks from the front began to be attacked from their vulnerable sides, their momentum suddenly began to collapse.

Some of the new recruits or those who had some time to spare sneaked back with their weapons.

Is this something you want to claim?

‘We don’t want to fight, so don’t hit us.’

The sight of them trying to run away even though there are other units behind them is almost laughable.

Still, when I think of it as refreshing to see the Black Lily mercenary army collapsing against our white army…

“I don’t know who you are, but I won’t forgive you!”

At the same time as he said that, a mercenary holding a sword suddenly swung his sword at me.

The sword had a unique glow of mithril, and the armor also sparkled.

When I encountered the sword, the blue fog symbolizing the Auror Expert caught my eye.

‘This guy seems like he has some class, doesn’t he?’

As if to answer that question, the guy swung his sword and said his name.

“Lis Flor, the leader of the Black Lily Mercenaries, will take your head!”

“Lease? “What kind of lily is a man?”

“You’re noisy, what are you messing with my name!”

I guess he thought that if he killed me, he would somehow be able to protect his mercenary army, and I could feel his desperate will in each of his attacks.

Perhaps because it contained the power of will, its attack was quite heavy compared to the level of aura contained in the sword.

In response to those words, I praised him in the sense of lifting him up.

“….. He’s a bit better than the leader of the Golden Barley mercenaries.”

“Golden barley? “Don’t compare me to that guy!”

The guy and I continued to clash our swords.

As the attack and defense continued nearing 10, 20, and 30 rounds, I felt as if my hands were slowly losing strength.

‘Unlike the Golden Barley guy, the mercenary leader here is quite good…’

When I saw it from a distance, I was a little caught off guard because there were only 150 people, but I guess you shouldn’t judge people just by their appearance.

Even though Reese kept swinging his sword and I barely showed any signs of getting tired, he started rolling his eyes to the left.

‘This guy, is his mind in the flower garden?’

When I saw that, I could clearly see the gap in him.

“Die, you lily bastard!”

When I swung the sword straight ahead, the guy laughed.

“Can’t I stop this?”

As expected, my attack was blocked by him.

Rys immediately drew back his sword, then thrust forward, pushing my sword away with the back of his nose (the part that protects his hand on the handle of his sword).

Originally, I would be quite embarrassed, but everything is going according to my intention now.

I managed to control my facial expression and kicked the guy out of his anger.

“Nooooo! “Is this f*cking bastard kicking there because there’s nowhere else to kick it?”

I said I kicked it hard with aura, but that guy’s armor also had a heart guard…

Since the cyst protector was still in good shape, Reese’s pride as a man would also be intact.

However, he frowned as if he couldn’t bear the pain, and I took advantage of that opportunity to hit the guy’s neck.

The sensation of a person’s flesh and bones being cut by a sword came to my hands.

“I cut off the head of Lis Flor, the mercenary leader of the Black Lily!”

The war does not end just because a mercenary leader dies, so I gave the next order without giving my subordinates time to shout.

“If you cut the mercenary leader’s head, you just cut it. Kill all the bastards who run away, not the one who surrenders now!”

When I gave that order, the guys who were dazed and unable to properly surrender due to the shock of the mercenary leader’s death ended up being attacked on the left and in front of me.

“aaah, f*ck!”

“Surrender! “I said I would surrender!”

“Help me!”

The mercenary leader died and their leadership collapsed, so they tried to run away or surrender.

“If you’re going to surrender, put down your weapons!”

While saying that, one of the guys stabbed them to death.

Another guy grabbed the back of the guy who was trying to run away and stabbed him with his sword.

“I told you not to run away, right?”

When we pushed the enemies unilaterally, they rolled up their tails and ran away…

I immediately looked around the battlefield and looked towards the main unit where Captain Dalton was.

As expected, there seemed to be quite a bit of room for intervention here as well.
