Episode 162 – Barbarians Need a Bride ♥

As we approached Claudia-ssi standing on the ramparts, she turned to us and said.

“A lot, huh?”

“…. Definitely… a lot.”

Ian, who had never seen so many people, looked at the swarming crowd in the distance with a surprised expression.

Claudia-ssi, after seeing Ian’s expression, very carefully asked him.

“… Could you just… leave?”

Her eyes, slightly widened as she spoke, showed both her fear of Ian being harmed if he stayed here and her hope that he wouldn’t leave her.

Ian was silent for a moment at her words, gazing out beyond the ramparts before looking at Claudia-ssi with a serious expression, then playfully smiling as he replied.

“Claudia-ssi, you know what I’m going to say, right?”

“…. *Ehyu* yes, yes, I know. Even if you say no, I’ll give you plenty, so don’t worry.”

“I’m looking forward to that.”

As Claudia-ssi answered with a beaming smile, Ian responded with a smile of his own.

At that moment, a soldier’s voice rang out.

“The envoy is returning!”

Everyone’s eyes focused on the horse galloping towards us.

It was unavoidable, as they instinctively knew that the fate of this city would be determined by the answer the envoy brought.

And we could see that the envoy riding the horse was headless.

The negotiations had failed.

The commander, seeing the barbarians beyond fidgeting and moving busily, began to shout.

“Each soldier, recheck your arrows and oil! Engineering Captain! Where are you?! Immediately recheck the status of the magic barrier! Striking force! Prepare your magic according to the command!”

The ramparts were instantly thrown into chaos. Claudia-ssi led us towards where the commander was.

The commander listened to Claudia-ssi telling him that we were here to help, and looked at us with a dubious expression for a moment.

Then, seeing the clothes I was wearing and the large claymore I was casually holding, he seemed to change his mind, hesitating for a moment before answering.

“Then you’ll have to take my orders, are you okay with that?”

Claudia-ssi glanced at Ian for a moment, then answered with a smile.

“War is a man’s role. Above all, it seems right to follow the orders of an expert.”

“… *Eum*, I understand. Since Claudia-nim says so… First of all… thank you for stepping forward for the city.”

The commander nodded and bowed his head to us, then continued with a serious look.

“During the siege, you must prioritize my orders. Do you understand?”

We nodded and agreed to his words.

The commander, seemingly pleased by our compliance without any resistance, gave a slight smile on his stern face. He told Claudia-ssi to go to the cathedral now, and Claudia-ssi, after saying she understood, sent a loving look to Ian, bowed her head to us, and moved away.

*Buuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!*

And starting with the sound of the horn that shook the earth, the barbarians began to rush forward, each yelling wildly.

Burning stones flew through the sky, smashing the barbarians.

The barbarians, wielding bulging muscles and huge maces, swords, and spears, bravely stuck to the wall and climbed up, deflecting most arrows with their bodies.

The defenders also resisted with all their might, pouring boiling oil and magic on the barbarians, and dropping large logs and stones, but they couldn’t stop them from climbing up one side of the wall.

Eventually, the soldiers who allowed them to climb onto the ramparts, albeit only a small portion, fought against them, but they couldn’t withstand the superior physical abilities of the barbarians, who were at least twice their size.

What quickly took over the ramparts was nothing but the fear of primal violence.

The screams of soldiers being crushed and bursting open soon spread like an epidemic.

And in such a place, the commander, with a mix of expectation and anxiety, sent me while preparing the mages for an attack.

I leisurely approached them, loosening my stiff shoulders from not using my body for too long, and stared at the barbarians who were openly sneering.

Glancing down, I saw the barbarians’ impressively large dicks and balls dangling.

“Hehehe, [Profanity] [Profanity]”

I chuckled and smacked my lips, then instantly cut off the legs of the guy who was babbling incomprehensible words.

A shiver ran down my spine at the sensation of instantly cutting through the flesh and bone that came up through the palm of my hand.

Seriously… it was an awesome feeling.

“….?! *Kkueaaaaaack!!!!*”

The guy, who had been blankly staring at me as I suddenly appeared before him, soon screamed in agony from the excruciating pain in his legs.

Even as he writhed in pain, he clenched his teeth and glared at me with bloodshot eyes, reaching out with both hands. I took a few steps back to avoid his grasp, then swung the claymore in my hand with all my might.

And the guy’s flying head soon rolled down below the ramparts.

The surroundings fell silent for a moment at the sight of me blowing away the barbarian’s head in just two exchanges.

I could feel shocked gazes from around me. I guess I have a bit of an attention-seeking personality… or maybe a lot.

Until just now, I had only felt unpleasant because I was called in right before sex, but now I’m getting their attention and my shoulders are rising.

I couldn’t hide my pleasant smile as I felt my emotions rising for no reason. I looked at the barbarians’ wary gazes and muttered quietly.

“I thought you barbarians were strong… How can you not even last two exchanges against a woman… Hehehe, is your wife scary every night? Did you come to the city to train your lower body or something?”

As I roughly wiped the blood off the claymore after uttering those mocking words, the sound of air bursting echoed with a *paang!* sound.

The soldiers, forgetting their fear after hearing the sound that struck their whole bodies and my taunts, laughed roughly and retorted my words.

“Puhahaha! Our city is famous for having good quality lower bodies!”

“Did you come all the way here because you’re scared of your wife’s pussy?! If you’re so scared of women, you should have dropped your pants and come! Hahaha!”

Those who had barely overcome their fear rushed at the barbarians, spewing vulgarities and curses.

Of course, they soon became jerky for the enraged barbarians or became stars in the sky, but still, there was no longer fear in their eyes.

I looked at the cleaned blade and then licked my tongue seductively as I looked at the barbarians who were expressing their animosity.

‘Certainly, sex is good, but… Hehehe, it’s also good to bully the weak…♥’

I smiled fiercely and immediately looked at the barbarians rushing towards me, slung the claymore over my shoulder, and walked towards them.

And a few minutes later, the ramparts I had passed were littered with corpses neatly cut in half.

Leaving behind the soldiers who were wide-eyed with surprise, I looked around.

There were no more guys who had climbed up yet.

Lucky.

Looking down below the ramparts, most of the guys were crushed, cooked, and sprawled out by stones, magic, logs, and boiling oil.

Seriously… They can block arrows but not stones or logs?

Wouldn’t stones be easier to block? Arrows are… sharp and focused on piercing…

Well, it’s a fantasy world, so maybe there’s a blessing of arrow blocking or something?

I’d like to get it if there is.

The lower the chance of my husband dying suddenly, the better.

But there were still many guys climbing up, and the surrounding soldiers slightly bowed their heads as if expressing their gratitude to me, while busily dropping stones or bringing oil to boil.

I roughly shook off the blood on my greatsword with a *pang! pang!* sound and returned to the commander.

The commander had been watching my performance and was standing there blankly with his mouth open.

The people around him also seemed surprised by my performance, which was beyond their imagination.

Well, even if I’m wearing magic armor, it’s no wonder they’re surprised that a woman is slicing up men several times her size like radishes.

Maybe the commander only wanted me to buy time using the magic armor, but wouldn’t it be okay?

I smiled and said to the commander.

“Anything else you want me to do?”

“…. No, nothing… at all.”

His attitude had become even more polite. Yes… it feels good.

I smiled broadly and immediately returned to my husband’s side.

My husband smiled as if he had believed in me.

“Good job.”

“It was nothing. They’re just good bodies but total pushovers, you know?”

I shrugged my shoulders and answered as if it was nothing.

At my answer, Amania widened her eyes and said to me at Ian’s laughing figure.

“Noona… you’re strong…”

“Eung…? What, did you think Noona was weak?”

“…. To be honest… yes.”

“Heeung… And you still came along…”

“Hehe, well… because I wanted to protect Noona.”

“…. Hehe”

Looking at Amania’s face as she smiled at me, I felt strangely embarrassed, so I just smiled briefly and turned my reddened face away.

Ah, seriously, she’s harmful to my heart.

At that moment, Sui puffed up as if she was being praised.

“Of course she’s strong! Our Grace-nim can do a one-punch three-front-teeth on any man! Hoot! Hoot!”

While I was chuckling at Sui’s actions of throwing one-two jab punches in the air, barbarians climbed up one part of the ramparts again.

The commander didn’t hesitate any longer and looked back at me and asked for my help, and I silently nodded and ran towards that place.

And their offensive stopped just before the sun set.

The barbarians climbed onto the ramparts a total of 8 times, and 2 of those times they almost broke through.

I stood next to the commander with my body fully recovered thanks to using recovery magic, and looked at the retreating barbarians.

There wasn’t a single shadow on their retreating faces.

No, if anything, they seemed to be smiling, and there was no sign of anxiety or despair.

“They’re really… unique.”

“Well… barbarians are all like that. Trying to understand those guys is a waste of time in itself.”

“You seem to know them well?”

“…. I used to serve on the Eastern Front. I met those guys to my heart’s content there.”

“Heeung… About those barbarians now being inside the Empire, even though they’re mostly concentrated in the east…”

“I don’t understand it. No matter how strong those guys are… Why are the guys who only plunder the borders and go back…”

“Well, they must have their reasons. Ah, maybe they came to find their own personal cum dump? Hehehe”

“…. *Heum heum*, please refrain from using such vulgar language as much as possible.”

“Hehehe… Considering you’re saying that… Junior-ssi seems to have a different idea?”

As I subtly looked up at him, his dick stood up stiffly as if it would pierce through his pants.

He seemed embarrassed to see the tent sticking out in his pants, and blushed and leaned his waist back slightly.

“*Keuheum! Keuheum!* It seems like there won’t be any more attacks today. Let’s withdraw now.”

I was fascinated and quite intrigued by the sight of a grown man, especially a virile male living in a city of prostitutes, being embarrassed, so I stared at him for a moment with a smile, then brushed past him, subtly stroked his dick with my palm, and whispered.

“Just say the word if you need pussy. Hehehe♥”

He was startled by my lewd touch and trembled his waist, but looked at me with excited eyes.

I licked my lips seductively, glanced at him, playfully waved my hand, and went down below the ramparts where my party was waiting.

After she went down, the remaining commander took a deep breath, grabbed the ramparts with both hands, and waited for his erection to subside.

At that moment, a mage wearing a hood who had been standing next to him and watching everything hesitated, approached, and whispered quietly.

“…. Wanna have sex?”
