    The painful days of Myer and Baron Kimberly (3)

    Cordelia and the two knights continued to block the ogres’ attacks, and the soldiers attacked with javelins, gradually reducing the ogres’ physical strength.

    However, when the remaining Cyclops attacked, Cordelia was forced to block it, and her hands and feet became dizzy, and the battle situation tilted towards the monster again.

    ‘Ugh… It’s possible to stop one ogre alone… but two are too much… However, it’s difficult for Hans and Racht, who are still junior knights, to quickly subdue the ogre. There is some way…’

    However, since Cordelia could not think of any special plan, she decided to take a gamble.

    “Mayer! I’m going into the forest with the ogre and cyclops I’m fighting! The battlefield will expand, so mobilize all your might and quickly catch two ogres!!”

    Mayer’s eyes widened at Cordelia’s gambling moves.

    “Are you okay?”

    “If things continue like this, it will be difficult for me to endure! Let’s gamble before we run out of stamina!”

    “Good! But please don’t get hurt! Because I don’t want to have to nag His Highness later for hurting his knight”

    ‘Well, the prince won’t be sad because I got hurt, but… I don’t like being worried.’

    “Hehe, I understand. Let’s do our best. Haaaap!!”

    Cordelia cheered and instantly launched an onslaught on the Ogre and Cyclops.

    Gradually

    “Cooo!!!”

    Cordelia’s onslaught left significant scars on the faces of the unsuspecting men, and as Cordelia ran quickly into the forest, the ogre and cyclops roared and chased her into the forest.

    “Now is the time!! Sir Cordelia succeeded in luring them!! We must help the knights kill the two remaining ogres as quickly as possible and save Sir Cordelia!!”

    Upon hearing Mayer’s words that Cordelia had sacrificed herself to lure two giant monsters, fighting spirit burned in the soldiers’ eyes. The weapons thrown at the ogres became increasingly sophisticated, and an increasing percentage of spears pierced the ogres’ hides and left scars.

    “Kwaaa!!”

    The ogres roared and swung their clubs wildly, but as the wounds on their bodies increased, their movements became sluggish, and finally one ogre bent its knee.

    “Focus on that guy!! Since he’s lowered his height by kneeling, you can attack him directly with your spear!”

    The soldiers stabbed spears at the ogre’s body. The ogre seemed to have completely lost its strength, allowing all of the soldiers’ spears that it would normally have bounced away, and finally surrendering its neck to the sword of the knight who had been blocking its attack.

    Meanwhile, the rangers who were dealing with the Basilisk were looking at hell.

    “Keee!!”

    “Avoid!!”

    The Basilisks’ petrification attack was quickly defeated thanks to the magic tool, but even without that, they were giant, threatening monsters.

    Every time the claws on the wings scratched, one or two rangers squirted blood, and when the tail swung, the rangers that were hit by it flew into the sky.

    “Don’t stop checking with arrows!! Bind their legs with chains and block their movement!!”

    At William’s direction, hundreds of arrows flew towards the basilisk. Their skillful arrows penetrated the basilisk’s hard scales and entered its body, causing a scream to come out of its mouth.

    Next, about a dozen soldiers carrying chains jumped in to block the Basilisks’ legs, but their counterattack began.

    “Saaaa~!!”

    The Basilisks’ eyes glowed red and the petrification curse was activated, turning the bodies of the soldiers who were running with chains and the soldiers who were keeping them in check at the front into stone.

    Their curse was easily broken by bringing a poisonous item to the bodies of the rangers, who had been hardened to stone by their gaze, but in the moment when the spearmen’s camp was briefly disturbed, a basilisk came in and swung its claws and tail indiscriminately for the sake of harm. .

    “Kaaa!!”

    Even though they were allowed to break through for just a moment, the lives of about 20 of the Rangers who were charging in with chains and the Rangers who were forming a formation were lost, and the Basilisks gained momentum and began to rampage even more wildly.

    Ta-da-da-da-da!!

    At that time, a figure picked up a chain that had fallen to the ground and jumped into the rampaging group of basilisks.

    “Uaaa!!”

    Following William’s instructions, he began to weave the chains between the Basilisk’s legs, gradually letting go of the chains he was holding.

    “McMorin!! It’s reckless to do it alone!! Come back!!”

    He did not listen to William’s orders to retreat and continued to throw chains between their legs and tie them to a huge wooden pillar at the entrance to the mountain range.

    “Thank you!!”

    At McMorin’s shout, the soldiers pulled the chains on the ranger formation, and the thin legs of the basilisks were tied to the chains, completely blocking their movement.

    “McMorin!! If you survive, you will fall behind me!! Well done though!!”

    “Kyahaaaa!!”

    The basilisks, whose legs were tied, moved wildly and howled as if they were trying to break the chains.

    simplicity and honesty! Ujijik!!

    A loud roar rang out from the giant chained tree, and the soldiers on the other side holding the chains were being dragged around and holding on with their bodies.

    In the end, William now has McMorin blocking his movements. I decided to inflict as much damage as possible and drew my sword.

    “Now is the time!! I’m a ranger! Charge!!”

    William came to the front and all the rangers rushed at the basilisks whose movements were blocked.

    They counterattacked by swinging their tails, but the destructive power of the tails was reduced as the bridge was blocked, and as if they could dodge that much, the rangers moved quickly, slashing at the skins of the basilisks and stabbing them with spears.

    In an instant, the basilisks’ scales were cut off, their hides pierced, and their huge bodies began to fall to the ground.

    “Keep cutting!! We must kill quickly and help the defenders who are dealing with the ogre!”

    Following William’s instructions, the rangers continued to cut down the bodies of the basilisks, finally chopping off their heads, and were confident of victory.

    “Keeee!!”

    However, while the rangers were caught off guard, a basilisk with its head cut off rose up, screaming.

    “What…what!!?”

    Like a basilisk with the characteristics of a snake and a chicken, it moved its body despite only having a neck and no head, and rushed towards McMorin, screaming from its empty throat.

    “Holy shit!! Are you saying that even if I die soon, I will kill you!!”

    McMorin tried to resist by raising his spear, but when the Basilisk’s huge body attacked McMorin, the spear broke under its overwhelming weight, and his body flew through the sky into the forest.

    “Cluck, crunch…. Damn… I’m going to fall out of here…”

    McMorin’s arms were turned backwards and his legs were bent in such a bizarre way that he had a feeling he was about to die.

    thud! Coo!

    And as the basilisk was coming closer and closer to him, as if it was going to kill him even as it was bleeding behind him, McMorin instinctively crawled forward.

    However, his speed was too slow to crawl over his bent body.

    Moreover, a huge shadow appeared in front of him, and despair appeared in McMorin’s eyes.

    “Quaaa!!!”

    The identity of the shadow was a huge red troll. The giant troll had a matching ax in its hand, and its loud roar shook the forest.

    “McMorin, wait!!! We’ll save… troll… troll?”

    William and his men, who rushed to help McMorin, stiffened at the roar of the troll, and the troll began to move.

    Everyone closed their eyes, sensing McMorin’s death, but the screams they heard were not McMorin’s.

    “Keee!!!”

    It was the Basilisk, not McMorin, that the troll’s ax cut, and while holding McMorin’s body in its hand, the troll ignored William and the rangers and slaughtered the basilisks writhing on the plains in an instant.

    “Yes… What are you…?”

    When William ran up to the troll and pointed his weapon in a trembling voice, the troll put down the MacMorin he was holding in front of him and opened his mouth.

    “You? Do you humans call the benefactor who saved your subordinate’s life you?”

    “Uh…huh? Human speech?”

    When unexpected human words came out of the troll’s mouth, all the rangers, including William, widened their eyes.

    “My name is Ajin. I have come to help you under the command of the great Miri and her husband Yuno”

    William and the rangers’ mouths widened as the unexpected name of the prince came out of the mouth of the troll who identified himself as Ajin.

    However, ignoring their reactions, Ajin rushed to where Mayer and Cordelia were fighting as soon as she heard the sound of weapons coming from afar.
