The Legend of Return
Chapter 306. Unwelcome people (2)
“What’s going on?”
“They are troopers!”
The mercenaries who became soldiers of Becker Castle were embarrassed even while holding weapons.
Cavalry, including knights, were always feared by mercenaries.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo.
The hooves of dozens of horsemen rang like thunder.
The colorful armor of the cavalrymen glistened in the sunlight.
As if he had set a goal, he approached without hesitation.
“I don’t think it’s a good thing…”
“Damn it…”
The mercenaries were so nervous that their hands sweated.
At first glance, the atmosphere of the cavalrymen was severe.
The horses rushing towards the castle were overflowing with power.
The cavalrymen marched toward the castle without hesitation, holding the territorial keeper engraved with a white horse with its front paws raised vigorously.
Even the war horses carrying the cavalrymen wearing heavy chain mail were all dressed in armor.
It was on a different level from the soldiers of Becker Castle who were armed with crappy leather armor.
Weapons such as the shield, long spear, and heavy sword mounted on the horseback were destructive just by looking at them.
Surprised, the villagers also froze when they saw the cavalry soldiers approaching from the top of the wall.
“It’s the flag of Baron Lou Lubek!”
“The cruel tyrant, Baron Lubeck!”
A silent scream swept through the villagers.
It was the flag of the territory bordering the county of Versailles.
Many of the former territories went there and were sold into serfdom or slavery.
Baron Lubeck, a lord without blood or tears.
He was known for treating people like insignificant animals.
The villagers were startled when they confirmed that it was the family’s flag.
“Hee hee hee.”
The horses roared and stopped in front of the wall.
“…..”
The soldiers, who still had the habit of sloppy mercenaries, couldn’t cope by looking at each other’s faces in turn.
No one dared to step out.
The sloppy castle gate never stopped the knight.
The silver armor of the three knights who stood in front of the cavalrymen was exceptionally shiny.
It was evident that it was magic armor containing mithril.
The knights looked up at the castle wall without taking off their helmets.
“Heh… did a group of beggars occupy the empty castle?”
The leisurely voice of Gerard, the knight at the forefront, could be heard even from the top of the castle wall.
It contained a laugh.
“Cheack.”
The cavalrymen behind them laughed together.
‘The rumor that the monster has disappeared is true.’
Knight Gerard’s eyes twinkled.
If monsters existed, there was no way the beggars’ energy would be comfortable like that.
The faces of the naked and starving guys were more afraid of themselves than worried about monsters.
‘If the top guys come in and out, you’d guess right. Hehehe.’
Rumors circulated that merchants were coming in and out of the empty castle full of goods loaded with goods.
There was also a saying that a group of wandering beggars would follow them from time to time.
Baron Lubeck sent knights.
And Gerard, the knight of the baron family, was sure that there were no monsters in the castle.
‘It’s an opportunity… great!’
The abandoned manor was the one who picked it up.
The former lord of this place belonged to another noble faction.
A golden opportunity has arrived for the lord, Baron Lubeck, to be elevated to the rank of Viscount or Count.
‘I have to raise a report and take it quickly.’
Gerard calmed his excitement and shook his head quickly.
Even if he attacked right away, he was confident that he would drive the beggars out of the castle.
There was no problem with scarecrow-like mercenaries and beggars on the wall.
However, he was able to engage in battle only after receiving the command of his master.
“How dare you guys occupy the castle without the name of Baron Lubeck, the owner of this land! Get away if you don’t want to die!”
Gerard declared war in a harsh, loud voice.
It was a voice filled with magical power, so it echoed along the walls.
“…..”
No one in the castle responded.
It scared me in advance, but it seemed to have been eaten.
‘I’ll sell all of you into slavery~. haha.’
Gerard scanned the future slaves on the walls with a dark look.
The next time you come, take a slave trader with you and you will be able to touch a lot of money.
Even if the price of slaves was cheap, if there were a lot of slaves, it was money.
“Who are you talking nonsense?”
Suddenly, a voice filled with magic was heard from somewhere.
Until he heard that voice, Knight Gerard was in the best mood.
***
Really killed it.
The slang term “reclaimed land” almost came out.
Shiny silver plate armor seen from the top of the castle wall.
It was much more lustrous than the armor worn by medieval knights on Earth.
The silvery water shines dazzlingly, as if it had been applied with varnish.
It didn’t even seem dull in action.
Elbows and joints were naturally connected.
From pitch to toe, everything was perfect.
Cavalry troops with white horse flags fluttering in the wind.
It didn’t seem like a bad thing to own at least one knight like that.
The image of him leading the knights and sweeping the plains was pictured in his mind.
The elven knights in the movie ‘Glory of the Ring’ seemed not to be envied.
I threw a rage-inducing rice cake at the knight and watched him.
Even though he was a knight of the baron family, his rank did not fall at all.
My eyes kept returning to the armor.
I wanted to steal the armor without fluffing and blaspheming.
It seemed like I would look a little more stylish if I wore it.
Knights’ armor was said to have particularly high attack and defense power.
I heard that mithril powder has the effect of blocking magic to some extent.
I also coveted the sword the knight was holding.
It was just ten times cooler than the leather armor I made.
In that respect, my appearance now was shabby.
This is not the count lord, but the captain of the low-level mercenaries.
gulp.
My saliva overflowed with desire.
If I took it away, I felt innocent, and if I couldn’t take it from here, I would regret it forever.
It stimulated more desire than the money to be swept away in the US financial crisis.
The attack power itself was different from the weapons of the Orcs.
Unparalleled sophistication and anticipation emanated from the magic sword.
I wanted to take that away, disassemble it, and make it my own.
According to the law of total happiness, I wanted to deprive him of his happiness.
Anyway, that kid seemed like a bad guy.
A bunch of gloomy auras floating around.
He’s the one who committed an unbelievable murder.
Blacksmith Vakula’s knowledge rolled around in his head.
Blacksmithing skills that had not yet evolved seemed to be upgraded.
Only magic artisans who can handle magic weapons could properly mount magic stones on weapons or armor.
If I become a magical master…
I craved my appetite.
Right now, it is a level where mana is weakly injected into a weapon.
However, he did not receive the title of official father-in-law.
It seemed that if I tried a little more, something would come out.
But that baby ….. dare you me?
I liked the article that looked at me with weeping eyes.
In this world, it was possible for the winner to embezzle (?) all the losers.
A strong-willed gambling board.
It was perfect for me who was always missing something.
Of course, I was also nervous.
Three knights and dozens of regular cavalrymen.
The calculations got complicated.
The way Mushik faced off against an orc like his uncle was different.
The strength of the cavalry seemed similar to Talman, the only knight in the territory.
Unlike the knight class, the cavalry’s weapons and defense values were much higher than those of the mercenaries.
They were people who knew how to handle even a little bit of magic.
It would have been a complete defeat for our side if we caught up immediately.
“I am Sir Gerard de Barsa, the proud sword of the Baroness of Lubeck.”
Gerard, a knight who calls himself Lord.
I tried to subdue the steamer with magic power.
I watched and laughed at his attitude.
Papa Bat.
An invisible spark flew.
The passing was short, but the speculation that came and went was intense.
They were in the mood to run right away and put knives into each other’s hearts.
“I am the lord of this castle, Count Becker Jean!”
Slowly, full of mana, he shouted.
A self-titled title that is incomparable to that of a knight.
“!!!”
Gerard was momentarily taken aback by my words.
It looked like his lips were sticking together.
“When the nobles…”
“Sir Gerrard. It seems that a wandering aristocrat has taken over the castle.”
The knights next to Gerard glared at me and gave their opinions.
Those guys were also put on the 2nd priority list.
“I can’t believe what you say! Prove it!”
Gerrard came out strong.
Well, it’s strange that you recognize me right away as a count.
But the tone of Gerrard’s voice has changed.
Since I stated that I am an aristocrat, basic etiquette should be in place.
I could read all of Gerard’s complex facial expressions.
I thoroughly enjoyed this moment.
“I am the rightful owner of this castle. They slaughtered the Orcs, including the Orc Warriors, and took the castle. Who would deny me like that!”
Dig!
He blew magic into the magic ax he took from the orcs.
“!!!”
The complexion of the cavalry soldiers changed at once.
The enchanting color of magical power that shines brightly.
It was the moment that proved that I was a knight-level person.
“Why can’t you believe it? Can you take out the bones of the orcs buried under the ground that you guys who invaded my land are stepping on?”
I started fighting in earnest.
It was an act that could be called a provocation, but it did not stop.
I had no intention of crawling in anyway.
“…..”
At my words, all the villagers in the castle also became surprised.
Everyone knew which side would be at a disadvantage in the event of a conflict.
Before I knew it, the mercenaries who had followed Sabina were also up on the wall and watching.
“As expected, the lord…”
“My lord’s guts will end once!”
The evaluation of the mercenaries who became soldiers was generous.
No, it was a cool expression on the inside.
Even if I don’t have anything in front of the knights, I will look different as I go out strong.
– Mercenary soldiers’ liking and respect for the lord has increased.
– Mana points have been paid.
Contrary to what he said, the tension did not loosen.
Fortunately, the number of mercenaries coming up one after another on the wall showed the cavalrymen hesitating.
No matter how many knights and cavalrymen there are, they are bound to be intimidated by Daguri.
Sabina looked at me.
It is a complex gaze.
Even to her, this gambling board would be dangerous.
It’s not just about catching the knights.
He had to deal with an aristocrat named Baron behind him.
When the battle begins, whether you like it or not, you have to fight the territory battle in earnest.
It’s different from business management, but it’s similar.
stood at a crossroads
It was the time to decide on an opportunity to invest in the baron family and aggressive M&A.
The choice of the moment determines the life of the other world.
After seeing the delicious food, you have no choice but to quench your appetite.
If the Yeongji War breaks out, not only me, but everyone in this castle will lose their lives.
I too stared at the knight Gerard with a complicated mind.
The villagers gnashed their teeth just by looking at the baron’s flag.
Even the son of Gerrard did not seem to be kind.
Then the conclusion is…..
***
‘These guys dare me… Insult!’
Knight Gerard slowly seeped into anger.
He fell into the illusion that the beggars and mercenaries on the wall were laughing at him.
‘Where are you holding an orc weapon!’
Seeing the man claiming to be the lord, Gerard was convinced.
I don’t know how he fought orcs and won, but he wasn’t a formal knight.
but conflicted.
The number of knights brought today was too small.
There were hundreds of mercenaries on the walls, even if you estimate them.
The weakness of cavalry also worked.
The gates seemed flimsy, but they did not know what dangers might lurk inside the enemy’s lair.
‘Today….. I’m patient. But soon I will come back to slaughter all of you!’
Gerard made up his mind with evil eyes shining.
He was furious but quick-witted Gerrard.
“I’m leaving for today.”
Gerard quietly gave orders to the knights and cavalrymen.
“That would be nice.”
“I think it would be better to organize a subjugation party and come back.”
The knights agreed.
Gerard and the cavalrymen, who grabbed the reins and tried to turn their backs like that.
“Why are you just going? Embarrassed?”
Suddenly, the voice full of jeers and quarrels of the author called the lord was heard again.
“What!”
Gerard’s eyebrows twitched like a serpent.
Even if he wasn’t there, he was a lord who was unpleasant and uncomfortable, but he quietly turned around and started a fight with himself again.
“I will ask you.”
The lord leveled his voice like a stern judge.
‘kyung? You’re the one to kill!’
Gerard, who stammered himself without answering.
“The crime of trespassing on my territory without my permission, the lord… How will I pay for the crime!”
The lord’s voice filled with magic resounded.
In contrast, Gerrard’s face was severely distorted in the helmet.
Whiik.
At that time, the lord threw a spear from the wall in front of Gerard.
Fu-wook!
The spear crashed into the ground with a noise.
“In the name of Count Jean Becker, the guardian and owner of this land, I challenge the proud sword of the Baron of Lubeck to a duel, Sir Gerard de Barça!”
An irresistible provocation.
“Huh!”
“duel!!!”
Moaning and screaming erupted from all directions.
A desperate fight unfolding at the risk of life unfolded by nobles who are more than knights.
The mad lord he had never seen before smiled broadly at Gerard, showing his white teeth.
