episode_0025

The battle had just begun when I arrived.

Thousands of soldiers, full of morale, were charging straight at the wall, which was about 10m high.

The soldiers in the lead had already reached the bottom of the wall, and various siege equipment such as ladders, battering rams, and siege towers were starting to attach to the wall.

“Waaaaaaa!!!”

“Charge!! Forward!!”

Of course, the enemies weren’t just standing still. When the commander right above the gate waved his sword in the air to signal,

– Swoosh!!

Countless arrows flew in, knocking down our brave soldiers like falling leaves.

– Pow pow pow!!

“Kuerk!!”

“Damn it, keuak!”

“Aaaaaaah!! Save me!!”

The sound of arrows piercing, and the sound of people screaming and falling, could be heard from all directions.

The thick smell of blood and iron could be felt.

It wasn’t just arrows.

Stones, oil, and flames flying from somewhere.

The enemy was also desperately defending.

The situation under the castle was literally a scene of carnage.

‘Hoo… Let’s stay calm.’

Leaving their desperate voices behind, I continued to run forward.

I deflected the arrows flying towards me by turning my spear lightly, pushed aside the hesitant soldiers, and moved forward.

“Attach the ladders!!”

“Battering ram, let’s gooo- Ack!”

The vanguard was planning to break through the gate with the battering ram, but more than half of the personnel carrying it had already been hit by arrows and fallen, and were burning in oil and flames.

‘As expected, it won’t be easy.’

Leaving the deaths of my fellow soldiers behind, I continued to run forward.

Before I knew it, I was only about 50m away from the gate.

‘There’s only one chance.’

Quickly, I ran at full speed.

– Ta-da-da-dat!!!

The archers who saw me were shooting arrows from the wall to restrain me, but they couldn’t keep up with my speed and hit the innocent ground.

“Huh? What’s that?”

“There’s a strange woman…”

Using all my buff skills, I gathered all the strength in my body and ran, then –

– Paat!!

I slammed the spear strongly into the ground and jumped high using the recoil.

I soared into the air using the spear, as if doing a pole vault.

This is why I blindly raised only my strength.

With tremendous elasticity, my body floated to the height of the gate, and the speed of running added more acceleration, so I moved forward quickly.

It wasn’t flying slowly in a parabola.

I flew at an angle that could just pass over the wall from below, so it would have looked like something suddenly popped out from below in the opponent’s sight.

– Pow!!

Rotating exactly three times in the air, I used the force of flying to smash the opponent commander’s head with my elbow pad.

It wasn’t even an attack that I saw and reacted to, but rather an attack where I brought my elbow to the commander’s position in advance.

The tremendous acceleration and power combined, so the opposing commander and his escorts couldn’t even react, and the commander’s head exploded and he died.

“Huh?”

“Commander… sir?”

The tide had turned.

I took a deep breath –

“The enemy commander, eliminated!!”

I loudly announced my victory.

…

..

.

So, does the siege end then?

Of course not.

Swords were swung on both sides of me.

They emitted a fierce aura, digging in as if to cut my body in half.

“How dare you, the commander!!”

“Die!!!”

I was blocked in front and behind.

I bent my body completely backwards to avoid it.

My chest slightly touched, and sparks flew.

“Keuh…!”

In that state, I barely slid forward, throwing my body onto the corpse of the dead commander.

I forcibly spread his still-warm fingers and snatched his sword.

“You wench!!!”

“How dare you, the lord’s treasured sword!!!”

– Sreung…

‘Oh, a good sword!’

It was a treasured sword with a brilliant radiance as if it contained blood.

I used his treasured sword to block the sword coming down from directly behind, and quickly rolled sideways to avoid the next sword.

– Kwajik!

“Oh dear…”

The escort knight tried to cut me, but cut the belly of his dead lord. His lord’s blood and pieces of entrails were smeared all over his face and armor.

“Kuaaaaak!!! I won’t forgive you.”

“Caleon, calm down!”

The knight rushed forward, swinging his sword greatly.

He had lost his reason.

The knight, who was not only unable to protect his lord but also defiled his lord’s corpse with his own hands, was no longer a knight.

He forgot all the swordsmanship he had learned and just honestly charged in, raising only his aura foolishly.

This makes it very easy to deal with.

I lightly evaded to the side and slashed his side as I passed by.

– Pshooosh!!

The aura surrounding his armor was cut and pierced.

It came in deep and tore apart his internal organs.

“Keoheok!!”

Another knight came and barely blocked me from trying to strike his neck as he turned around.

– Woooong~!

His sword was also wrapped in a blue aura.

Mana, the power that creates miracles.

And when that miracle is manifested as aura, the sword contains a miracle.

The weight of the sword becomes heavier, harder, and sharper.

It is literally the power of miracles.

– Chang!!

The swords fell apart again and collided once more.

“Keuk…”

As expected, it is too much to directly collide with aura. I brushed the sword aside as if pushing it away and stepped back.

He wasn’t hasty.

He prepared a perfect operation, thinking that his martial prowess was superior.

“Surround her!! Be careful, move as if anticipating a great knight fight.”

‘Tch, this has become troublesome.’

The commander’s elite guards and knights surrounded me in layers.

‘Even for me, this is a bit…’

Perhaps because two key forces were defeated at once, they didn’t move hastily. Except for a few spearmen who were restraining me, no one was running at me.

The knights, who were the main force, were emitting a fierce blue aura and looking for an opening.

This is a very bad situation.

Although this treasured sword can cut through the opponent’s armor, I can also be cut in half by the opponent’s sword in one blow.

First, let’s calmly break down the opponent’s formation.

I could feel a spear stabbing in from behind.

I lightly evaded to the side, grabbed the spear passing through my side, and pulled.

“Uh…uh!!”

Using the fact that the spearman’s body was instantly sucked towards me, I pushed his back as it was and made him charge at his own allies.

“Be careful!!”

“Keuak!!”

They aimed their swords and spears at me, but briefly put them away, thinking that their own allies might get hurt.

The moment their gazes were focused there,

I broke through.

The muscles in my thighs were compressed to the limit, and I dug in at maximum speed.

“Uh uh…”

I pushed and charged, shoving the spearman’s torso, which was still tangled with his own allies.

“Now’s the time, kill her!!”

“That’s our ally, wait!!”

In the narrow space.

Among the soldiers who were hesitating because they were afraid of hurting their own allies,

– Shara-ra-rak!!!

The commander’s treasured sword was swung widely and strongly.

– Pu-hwa-ak!!

‘This is seriously so good.’

I almost wanted to take it home.

It cleanly cut off the soldiers’ necks.

A fountain of blood spread widely around me, and in the gap where my vision was briefly obscured, I charged in once more.

“You wench!!”

One knight’s small aura.

He must have awakened not long ago.

I collided with him and his sword, broke the sword as it was, and cut his upper body in half.

Blood poured out hot on both sides.

Because the sword is good, it’s fun to cut.

It felt like I was back in the old days for the first time in a while.

I gleefully stirred among the collapsed enemy formation.

The corpses of soldiers and knights who had gathered from all directions piled up, and blood soared into the air.

“T-This monster…”

– Seogeok!!

The soldiers hastily formed a line of defense, but it was easily pierced by the overwhelming power and the treasured sword.

The knights were caught among the soldiers and died without even being able to swing their swords properly.

“Keuk, there are too many. Everyone, fall back!!! All soldiers, get out of here!!”

Perhaps realizing that his own allies were only getting in the way, the soldiers all retreated.

“Where do you think you’re going!!”

There’s no way I would let them go easily.

I followed and massacred the soldiers.

The soldiers who were showing their backs to me in a defenseless state due to the retreat order fell very easily.

When a soldier who turned around and made eye contact with me, he was startled as if he had seen a ghost and tried to push forward, but it only broke down the formation.

– Poo-ook!!!

I pierced the hearts of three soldiers lined up in a row like skewers. The feeling of the sword going in smoothly was fantastic.

“Damn it! We’ll step up!!”

Before I knew it, all the soldiers had retreated, and the knights were running over.

Some of them were using aura, and some weren’t, but the fact that they were all strong forces was true.

The number was about 20. They were definitely not easy opponents.

And that guy.

I could feel tremendous anger in his eyes, but the escort knight, who calmly issued orders instead of the dead commander.

‘That guy is the problem…’

Now the real battle begins.

But then,

– Koong!!

The sound of strongly pounding on the gate spread.

“What? Wait!”

The escort knight, who was temporarily in command, looked around.

A very large gap where all the elite forces were concentrated on Lee Do-hee.

The follow-up unit was pounding on the half-collapsed battering ram at the gate, and the vanguard, who had climbed up from the ladders and siege towers on the wall, was almost unilaterally massacring the defending soldiers.

The soldiers who saw the commander die were in a state of confusion, but there were no additional orders, and all the elites had left to catch Lee Do-hee, so morale was hitting rock bottom.

On the other hand, the vanguard of the siege side was burning up.

“Save our whore!!!”

“For the whore!!!”

“Everyone, save the whore!!”

“I’ll be the first to bang her!!!”

“Whore! Even if I die, I’ll bang you, don’t die!”

“For the whore!!!”

“……”

‘Damn it… Why am I a whore…’

I don’t know whether to like it or not, but the situation is flowing in a good direction anyway.

They are seeing me single-handedly kill the commander and fight hard.

The soldiers are killing the opponents like crazy and charging in, risking death, to save me.

And who are most of the vanguard?

Organized criminals, prisoners of war, heinous criminals, slaves, mercenaries who were sold for money.

They are all people who grew up in harsh environments. Although they have been trained for a short time, their true nature doesn’t go anywhere.

And the characteristic of these people.

They are weak in front of the strong, but endlessly strong in front of the weak.

“Kyahahahahaha!! Kill them all!!”

“You pathetic bastards, I’ll kill you all!!”

The epitome of typical strong-weak-weak-strong people.

They brutally massacre and slaughter the defending soldiers whose morale has fallen.

They become endlessly pathetic in front of an organized regular army, but in this kind of chaotic situation, if the opponent’s morale is low, they become stronger than anyone else.

“Crazy, at this rate, the castle…”

The escort knight who took over command in place of the dead commander.

His head is getting complicated.

“Keuk, all knights, listen!! First, kill that bitch!! The rest of the forces defend the gate. Start combined attacks!!”

He draws his sword himself and runs over.

‘He must be in a hurry.’

He’s thinking of killing me first and then cleaning up.

It’s the right decision.

If I were to die willingly.

‘Enduring is my specialty.’

First, the knights are attacking from four directions in a textbook manner, surrounding me.

‘It’s a good method… but it has one disadvantage.’

It’s not like I’ve only experienced this once or twice in my past life.

A very ambiguous timing before the four people attack together.

Half a beat faster, I attack the knight who looks the weakest.

– Chaeng!!

And in that gap where the remaining three were tangled with each other and then quickly tried to regain their posture and attack me.

At the same time as kicking the knight in front of me, I use the recoil to swing the sword greatly behind me as if bouncing back.

The sword that was swung quickly behind me without even looking.

Of course, it is impossible to respond.

– Seogeok!

The trajectory of the sword accurately grazed the knights’ necks.

“Uh…?”

Along with a short scream, the necks of the three knights flew into the sky.

“How…?”

The difference in experience. Even though my body has become this kind of woman, I have fought dozens and hundreds of battles on the tower for 10 years where life and death are at stake.

“Damn it… Everyone, protect me, I’m going directly!!”

Realizing that he can’t even figure out the skills of these small fry, the escort knight runs over directly.

I can see a gaze full of anger in his eyes.

The knights are running from four directions again.

First, the escort knight runs first.

A guy who’s trying to win with strength stupidly and simply.

“Oh dear…”

Lift your feet slightly and shift your upper body weight forward.

A very simple trick.

– Chaeng!!

My body slides along the ice as if I’m sliding on ice due to his attack, and collides with the knight who was coming from behind.

And the body that was pushed all the way hits the end of the rampart.

Holding the sword in reverse, he stabs right next to my neck.

“Keoheok…!”

The sword accurately penetrates the neck of the knight behind me.

Now I’m facing the enemies coming from three directions.

The escort knight in front of me. And knights on both sides.

Sticking close to the wall, I avoid the sword as much as possible and buy time.

‘Either way, it’s you guys who are collapsing.’

The wounds on my body are increasing.

Perhaps realizing that swordsmanship and sword skills won’t work, the escort knight is pushing with strength, and the remaining knights are aiming for that gap and coming in.

Blood is flowing from the side, arm, shoulder, and cheek from being grazed by the sword.

I didn’t suffer any fatal injuries, but I can feel hot abrasions all over my body.

But not long after that,

– Kwaaaang!!!

‘It’s here.’

The vanguard broke through the gate.

“Waaaaaaa!!!”

“Save the whore!! Where is the whore!!”

“Let’s take back our whore!!”

“For the whore!!”

‘Crazy bastards…’

At first glance, it may seem like the siege side is unconditionally disadvantaged, but in fact, it is not that severely disadvantaged.

However, it is difficult to capture because of the small number and the structure of the castle wall.

Because the siege side also has knight-level existences.

– Kwaaaang!!!

“She’s here!! The whore is in danger!!”

A guy comes down, wildly pounding with a mace with a ball the size of a human torso.

“I’m first!! Whore, I’m coming!!!”

A guy who’s making people into skewers one by one with a huge spear comes down.

“Kuhahahaha!! You young ones were gathered here!”

Even a crazy bastard who’s just crushing people’s heads with his fists and charging.

Originally, the basic strategy is to combine forces with those strong-looking guys and stay in the corner of the castle wall until the main force comes.

Unless you hit the commander first like me, the elites are near there, so you might get out alive without fighting once if you’re lucky.

‘But this time, everything has become strange… Well, that’s good.’

All the strong people who were supposed to be scattered gather here. The guys who climbed the castle wall also gather above the gate.

Even if elite troops are deployed now, they will only be destroyed individually.

“Damn it, I almost caught her!!”

The siege side’s elite knights and some soldiers who were surrounded in all directions in an instant.

There are no more allies for them.

“Kill them!!”

“Don’t bully our whore!!!”

“Whore, wait, I’ll bang you soon!”

They charge madly, without looking back and forth.

Momentum.

The momentum is different. The vanguard soldiers are sweeping away the defending soldiers as if they were covered in an intangible aura.

The power may be superior to the knights, but the knights suffered tremendous losses trying to catch a mere woman and were covered in the blood of their comrades.

And the brave vanguard who have been winning and covered in the blood of their enemies.

They collide.

The vanguard soldiers charge like cavalry, charging stupidly with or without aura.

“Waaaaaaa!!”

“Kill them!!!”

They are being pushed back.

The knights are being pushed back.

Momentum, strength, and numbers are being pushed back.

There’s nowhere to come for support.

There is no hope in sight.

As a gap opens for one or two people, the knights collapse all at once.

They are indiscriminately trampled and stabbed.

They are cruelly pierced and exploded in several places and die.

“Damn it!!!”

In fact, the siege is over.

The general soldiers are all dead or have run away, and the elite knights have all been surrounded and killed.

But there’s still one person.

He’s alive.

One escort knight who inherited the commander’s will.

– Koong!!!

When he puts mana into the floor and hits it, the vanguard retreats for a moment due to the shockwave that spreads.

And his fierce gaze stares at me.

He points his sword straight at me and says.

“I am! Rotellan Arteria, the knight commander of the Cervion County!!! What is your name!!”

When he reveals himself in a loud voice, our side’s soldiers don’t attack him and look at me.

‘Ha, is this what they call a honorable knight duel in this world?’

Okay, I’ll accept it.

A duel with a strong person is always welcome.

And I’d feel bad if it ended like this.

“My name is Lee Do-hee. I have no family or affiliation.”

As I finish speaking, the vanguard makes a circle around Rotellan and me.

Screams and the sounds of weapons clashing are still echoing around.

But the people in this space all hold their breath and quietly watch our duel.

Sensing that each other is ready,

-Tadat!!

“Haaaaaap!!”

They run towards each other.
