by admin“If you just get over that threshold, you can live comfortably for a month!”
“Thank you for always providing delicious food! I’ll eat well!”
The barbarians crossed the border to plunder the villages outside the castle as usual.
Imperial soldiers will stop them, but it doesn’t matter.
If you succeed in breaking through, go straight to the village and loot it.
If the defense is strong, shake it moderately and fall back.
Then, identify relatively weak areas and focus attacks.
In this way the barbarians have so far succeeded in plundering without much trouble.
But things were a little different now.
There seemed to be more soldiers stationed at the camp than usual.
“This place seems to be wrong. Let’s shake it a bit and get it out!”
Does not matter.
All you had to do was fight for a while, retreat, gather with other groups, identify weak points, and then attack.
The barbarians were excited to collect supplies as usual.
“Dolgyeook!”
“Be prepared for arrows! Raise your shield!”
They started pounding the ground more vigorously.
At that moment, something began to flash on the Jinji side.
Soon, I heard a roar that I had never heard before.
– Puff puff poop!
“?”
Dozens of barbarians running in the line of battle fell.
The panicked barbarians slowed down.
“What’s going on?”
“A shaman?”
Before I could understand it, the light flashed again.
-Pubbung! Pubububung!
Once again, those standing in the front lines fall.
“It’s witchcraft!”
“Why suddenly a shaman?”
“Just block it and see! Raise your shield forward!”
-Boom! Boom!
The barbarians tried to defend themselves by turning their shields forward, but the wooden shields were easily pierced.
The barbarians were thrown into confusion by the sudden situation.
But it was quick to figure out what to do next.
“Ugh, run away!”
“You have to report to the warchief! A shaman has arrived from the empire!”
The barbarians turned and began to quickly flee.
– Puff poop! Pubbung!
The soldiers did not stop shooting until they were out of sight.
“Stop shooting! After maintenance, prepare for the next attack!”
The commander who gave the order to stop shooting looked around the field and was impressed.
‘Overwhelming…’
This was no different for the soldiers.
“That…what?”
“Ah…you mean this? It’s called a matchlock…”
The volunteers were amazed by the power of the matchlock rifle.
The garrison soldiers were filled with hope that they could prevent the barbarians from attacking.
It was the first actual battle of the matchlock rifle unit.
The training period for the soldiers was short.
However, excluding the broken matchlocks, the barbarians’ attack was prevented with 167 matchlocks without loss.
It was a moment when the power of the matchlock gun was proven.
***
The barbarians returned to the gathering place after the attack.
“Hmm? There are people who arrived first.”
“…”
Looking at those who arrived first, a barbarian spoke up.
But there was no reaction, and his condition looked bad.
So the barbarian grabbed one person and started asking questions.
“There are few people. Did something happen?”
He, who had been silently lowering his head, raised his head.
He looked terrified and opened his mouth with difficulty.
“…I was under a spell. ”
“Sorcery?”
“Light flashed along with a roar. At the same time, the compatriots running in front fell! This is clearly the work of a shaman!”
“It’s a big deal…”
“Is something happening?”
At that moment, other barbarians also began to gather.
“It is said that a shaman came from the empire.”
“Oh my.”
The barbarians began to put their heads together and think.
“Shaman…”
“You may not be able to loot anymore.”
“If that happens, we will starve! Where do you get food?”
“Then you become vulnerable to monster attacks! We’re going back to the difficult times!”
The worries of the barbarians grew.
Eventually, a barbarian came up with a solution.
“First, report to the warchief.”
“You are smart.”
“He is a great chief who defeated a knight. Surely he will give you the answer this time too!”
“Go back first.”
The barbarians headed to the village hoping that the warchief would give them an answer.
***
“Krrr…”
The mountain-sized demon growled lowly.
“Warchief, it’s too big!”
“That’s impossible! Let’s catch it together!”
The surrounding barbarians shout while holding their clubs.
“No. I do it alone.”
The warchief untied the wolf skin around his neck.
Then his large body was revealed.
“Be careful not to get caught up.”
After handing over the skin to the barbarian next to him, he lowered his posture while holding a large ax with both hands.
“Kaaah!”
The demonic beast opened its muzzle and screamed.
At the same time, the warchief kicked the ground.
The great chief who came before the demonic beast in a split second.
The demon attacked by swinging his front paw, but he avoided the attack by turning his body slightly to the side.
Then he began to gather his strength, gripping the ax tightly.
An aura that starts from the hand and spreads to the blade of the axe.
“Huh!”
When I swung the axe, the beast’s thick legs were cut off.
The demon beast let out a painful groan, lost its balance, and fell down.
-Cow.
In that moment, the warchief jumped onto the head of the demonic beast.
The top of the beast’s head was struck down with an ax filled with aura.
“Keeng!”
“Wow.”
“Keng!”
“No matter how you look at it, it’s bloody.”
“…”
“…is he dead?”
“I feel dead.”
A warchief who, after subduing a demonic beast, wipes the demonic beast’s blood from his face with his hand.
Because the witch’s body fluids are mixed with demonic energy, they cause pain just by touching the skin, but he calmly shook off the blood.
“Warchief! As expected, it’s amazing!”
“I brought something to wipe! Treat yourself with this…”
“ done. Please handle the demon beast.”
If the magical beast is left unattended, the nearby land will be polluted.
I had to deal with the magical beast before it was too late.
Therefore, the warchief asked other barbarians to deal with the demon beast.
‘If I could eat that…’
The warchief looked at the demon beast for a moment and then turned around.
“Warchief! It’s a big deal!”
Another barbarian running towards him.
“What’s going on?”
“The imperial shaman has arrived! It seems that food supply will be difficult as before!”
“A shaman. What does that mean?”
“Fireworks flashed with a loud sound! Dozens of our compatriots fell at once!”
“Hmm…”
The warchief is troubled after hearing what the barbarian said.
“First, go back to the village. Meet the shaman and talk to him.”
***
“…I see.”
The shaman muttered.
“Have you ever heard or seen this type of witchcraft?”
“I don’t know.”
“Then how do you think we should deal with it?”
“I don’t even know that.”
“…How much food is left?”
The warchief asked the barbarian standing next to him.
“If it continues like this, I won’t be able to last long. It’s a week at most. Soon many people will start starving.”
“…Okay.”
It was the worst situation.
‘Too many people gathered in a small place.’
Everyone gathered together to escape the threat of the demonic beast.
The more people gathered, the safer it became from the threat of demonic beasts.
But another problem arose.
Limited space and limited resources.
Food resources around the village began to run out quickly.
A new way to obtain food is to plunder the empire’s villages.
There hasn’t been much of a problem so far, but it will become more difficult in the future.
If we give up looting like this, many people will starve to death.
However, disbanding the tribe was like pushing them back into the threat of demonic beasts.
The warchief pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Prepare for relocation. And, gather the warriors of the village.”
The plan was to launch a preemptive strike before the subjugation arrived.
The warchief took one last stab at it and began preparing a plan to emigrate before the empire retaliates.
***
After the barbarian raids were prevented, there were no raids for three days.
There were some who expected that they had given up plundering, but the situation of the war did not go like the wind.
“The barbarian attack is imminent.”
“Scale is.”
“We expect approximately 3000.”
“Hmm…”
After receiving the scout’s report, the commander began to worry.
Time was running out.
There was not enough time to evacuate the village’s supplies and people to the castle and prepare for a siege.
“The siege seems to be difficult. Encamp and defend this location.”
The commander speaks while pointing his hand at a part of the map.
“I heard that the Warchief is a powerful person who operates Aurors. The knights face the warchief. And the wizard prepares for the shaman’s attack from the rear.”
Following the commander’s order, the commanders led their respective squads and began to camp in the area.
***
“Shaman.”
The wizard muttered.
It is not difficult to find those who embody magic such as creating fire in the air or moving light objects.
However, it was not easy to find wizards who could attack, defend, or cast large-scale magic.
This is because it is a realm that only those who are gifted with can reach.
She is also a wizard who has reached the level of the 4th circle.
What intrigued her was the information that there was a shaman.
“I’m looking forward to it to some extent.”
The knights were talking about the warchief.
“The knight from before was killed by the warchief.”
“Hmm. Still, aren’t they barbarians?”
“There are rumors that he can defeat high-level demon beasts by himself, so his skills must be top-notch.”
Meanwhile, the soldiers waited and talked.
“Nothing will happen, right?”
“There are knights and wizards. Could it be something big?”
“Ah. You don’t know how to use a matchlock gun yet.”
“Watch carefully. The power of the matchlock gun.”
“What is that?”
“Wait a minute, I see something!”
The appearance of barbarians began to appear in the distance.
“Ready for battle!”
With the commander’s words, the war between the barbarians and the empire began.
