episode_0076

As a large rock fell, the camp began to stir.

The commotion grew louder and began to turn into panic.

“Shouldn’t you run away…?”

“How do you do something like that without any shells…”

Reflection began to appear on the soldiers’ faces.

“Everyone calm down!”

The commotion stopped at the shout of the lord of Bastogne.

“Everyone, get ready to shoot!”

At his command, the soldiers began to move.

“To be able to move like that even in this situation… It looks like you had a lot of training.”

“They are definitely as good as our unit.”

As I muttered, Lotos answered from next to me.

“Everyone ready to shoot!”

At the officer’s shout, the musketeers all raised their muzzles upward.

“Fire!”

Ta-da-da-da-da-dan!

As soon as the officer’s sword cut through the air, a sound like continuous lightning filled the field.

“Grrr!!!”

Thousands of bullets rained down on the monster, but failed to cause any significant damage.

Rather, the monster waved its arms in annoyance, as if sand had been sprinkled on it.

“This is crazy…”

A soldier who saw the scene muttered softly.

The monster walked towards us without any signs of pain.

“Don’t be scared! Hurry up and reload!”

After that, the gun was fired repeatedly, but it had no effect.

As the monster got closer, its face appeared.

“Wow, you’re really ugly.”

Lotos nauseated when he saw the monster’s grotesquely distorted face.

“You look like your sister.”

“What?!”

Lotos grumbled and grabbed Aramis’ shoulder.

“I admit that.”

Lotos grinned and gave a thumbs up.

Aramis chuckled at his reaction.

“Should I get closer and shoot a gun?”

I loaded my gun and stepped forward.

“It’s dangerous!”

“Get out of the way!”

A soldier tried to stop me, but I kicked him in the chest and leisurely moved forward.

I rode my horse and stopped about 10 meters away from the monster.

He immediately raised the muzzle upward and aimed at the monster’s head.

Taang!

The fired bullet bounced off helplessly.

“Is this the same as when it was a wild boar?”

I scratched my head and looked at the monster slowly walking towards me.

The monster slowly turned its head and looked down at me.

There was something eerie about the way I looked at the ants passing under my feet.

“The eyes are cheesy…”

“Mari, it’s dangerous! Please come back soon!”

The moment I pulled out my knife and was about to cut off my ankle, Laurent called me from behind.

“Okay, okay!”

The monster raised its arms upward.

“Hey!”

When the monster tried to attack, I turned around and headed back to the base.

Quang!

When the monster hit the floor, fragments flew everywhere.

“Wow… your fists are strong too.”

I shook my head and ran away.

“Okay, what was it like when you got close and fired?”

“Same. It bounced around helplessly.”

“Even if you get close and shoot, it has no effect…”

The Lord of Bastogne rubbed his chin and began to think.

“How about cutting it once?”

I drew my sword and surrounded the auror.

“So… I guess I should try cutting it.”

“Is there anything to worry about? In a situation where I can’t even use a cannon, I have to go and cut it down and see.”

“Wait!”

The moment I was about to jump forward, the Lord of Bastogne called me and stopped me.

“Let’s go together.”

Lord Bastogne drew his sword.

“Ahaha!”

I smiled brightly at his words.

“Sure, let’s go together.”

“You should sleep on your right side.”

“Okay.”

I rotated my shoulders and stretched.

“Before we leave, I want to ask you something.”

“Something?”

“Can I take off this armor?”

I pounded on the armor pressing tightly against my chest.

“Do whatever you want.”

The Lord of Bastogne smiled and gave permission.

As soon as permission was given, I untied the leash and took off my armor.

“Ah… I can finally live a little better now.”

I took out a buff coat from my bag and put it on instead of armor.

“Mari.”

“Oh, don’t worry, I feel like I can kill that monster.”

I licked my lips with my tongue and looked at that big monster.

“Still, you must always be careful.”

Laurent looked at me with worried eyes.

The sight made my heart tingle for no reason.

Sigh… What can I do to tickle people’s hearts at times like this?

“Laurent.”

“Yes, father.”

“Don’t worry unnecessarily, but use what you learned as an Auror so that you can surpass your lover.”

“kekekekeke…!”

Behind Laurent, Lotos was desperately suppressing laughter.

“Okay.”

Laurent nodded.

“Let’s go!”

The Lord of Bastogne and I rode our horses and charged at the monster.

“The lord is passing by! Get out of the way!”

At the adjutant’s shout, the soldiers made a path as if the water were parting.

Knock knock knock

As Lord Bastogne and I ran side by side, the monster raised its arms.

“Keep running!”

We knew the monster was going to attack, but we didn’t intentionally avoid it to get as close as possible.

“Now!”

The moment the monster’s fist came down, we, who had been running side by side, were torn apart and ran to either side.

Quang!

When the monster’s fist hit the ground, there was a loud noise and dust rose up.

“Cut!”

“Aaaah!!!”

Lord Bastogne and I filled our swords with aura and cut off the monster’s ankles.

Snap!

As the ankle was cut cleanly, the monster’s body began to lean forward.

“Ugh…!!!”

The monster screamed and its body collapsed.

The Lord of Bastogne turned his horse and raised his sword high.

“Now! Everyone rush in!”

“Attack! Attack!!!”

Pouuuu- Puuu-

With the sound of horns, several soldiers charged at the monster all at once.

In their arms, they were carrying explosives made from wooden barrels and gunpowder.

“Light the wick!”

When they reached the front of the fallen monster, they lit the wick.

“Gooo!”

As my ankle was cut, a lot of monsters tried to raise themselves using my arms.

“Where!”

Awesome!

I quickly ran over and cut off the monster’s right forearm.

“Grrrr!!!”

As the forearm was cut off, the monster’s blood poured out.

“Bake!!! Ugh!!!”

The monster opened its mouth and screamed.

“Now is the time to throw the bomb!”

Explosives went into the monster’s mouth.

Pow!

The monster’s head was shattered with a loud explosion sound.

For a moment, silence fell over the area.

“Gotcha…!”

The face of one soldier, who had been looking very nervous, gradually began to brighten.

“Gotcha! Got it!”

Starting with the soldier’s words, the faces of everyone on the battlefield turned bright red.

“Wow!!!”

Everyone there started hugging each other and rejoicing.

I watched people on horseback smiling and rejoicing.

Tuk!

“You worked hard.”

The Lord of Bastogne encouraged me by patting me on the back.

“I was able to catch it thanks to you.”

“No. Isn’t your lord’s cutting edge cleaner than mine?”

“He’s humble… I like him more and more.”

“Hmm!”

I cleared my throat and quickly turned my head to the side, afraid that he would ask me to come as his daughter-in-law again.

“Mr. Mari!”

Laurent rode his horse and approached me.

“Are you okay?”

“Oh, I’m fine.”

“Thank goodness.”

“Ugh!”

Suddenly Laurent hugged me tightly.

“Why are you like this?”

“I was so nervous that I thought my heart was shrinking.”

I relaxed my body and leaned my head on his chest.

I was so nervous that my heart was beating incredibly fast.

“That guy doesn’t even care that he’s next to his father…”

Laurent continued to hug me, ignoring Lord Bastogne’s grumbles.

“I’m frustrated now.”

As Laurent released me, I shook my head and straightened my hair.

Meanwhile, Lotos and Aramis approached us.

“Anyway, I’ve done this much, what is the pay?”

“Don’t worry about that.”

In response to Aramis’ question, the Lord of Bastogne spread three fingers.

“I will give you two three million francs.”

At his words, smiles appeared on the faces of Lotos and Aramis.

“Where did my pay go?”

“Is your compensation really necessary?”

“Yes…?!”

I looked at the Lord of Bastogne with an expression of bewilderment.

What does it mean to say that no matter how much I did, I got no compensation?

The Lord of Bastogne gestured for me, who looked clearly embarrassed, to come closer.

“If you marry Laurent, won’t you be able to spend your money however you want?”

“No, I mean that…”

Now you’re going to tie me up under the pretext of compensation?

I put my mouth to the ear of the Lord of Bastogne.

“If you keep doing that, I will not marry Laurent.”

“What?!”

The Lord of Bastogne looked at me in surprise.

“If you give money obediently, nothing unpleasant will happen.”

I reached out to the Lord of Bastogne.

“Ugh…!”

He touched his forehead as if he had a headache from what I had done.
