#322. Got a problem?
* * *
Mount Kilimanjaro.
Africa’s highest spiritual mountain with a height of 5800 meters.
Even though it is close to the equator, the scenery with only the summit covered with ice caps made me feel mysterious and solemn.
…meaning it was like that in the past.
But at this moment.
The majestic mountain was dyed black and red instead of pure white.
The detonation caused by various weapons fired in succession and the blood shed by the people.
Doo doo doo!
“Ouch!”
“Hatha!”
A man of great stature.
Umbaru hurriedly picked up his colleague who had fallen while shooting from the side, spraying blood.
Then, seeing the wound on the side of his head that had been torn long by the bullet and the upturned eyes, he hurriedly turned around.
“choux! Hata is down!”
“Wait, I’ll be there soon!”
“I will cover you, so come quickly!”
To put his words into practice, Umbaru jumped straight out of the rock.
Tadadang!
Dozens of bullets flew as if they had waited for that moment, crashing into the rock and bouncing sparks, creating minor wounds on Umbaru’s body.
Still, Umbaru didn’t care.
I just threw out the spear I was holding.
Against the shooting soldiers, at least the spears made of wood were so weak that they even felt ridiculous.
Kwaaang!
But the results were astonishing.
The spears stuck behind the soldiers caused a huge explosion that caused a column of fire to soar.
It was the result of granting Umbaru’s unique skill 『Almighty Bomb』 to a wooden spear.
Still, he frowned.
If the soldiers had been vigilant, they could have done quite a bit of damage.
Because he had already used the same technique several times, he hadn’t done much damage.
“How is Hata?”
“hang on! Can’t you see I’m healing now?”
Anyway, thanks to the time Umbaru earned, the woman who approached me half-climbed.
Suga closed his eyes, and the soft light from his hand soaked into Hata’s wound, reducing the bleeding.
“Wake up quickly when your treatment is over!”
“Say something that makes sense! Just looking at it, the taste went to the brain. Do you think this will be cured right away? I just gave you first aid!”
“If it doesn’t work, make it happen!”
“If that’s easier said than done, try beating them all by yourself!”
“…If you can’t heal it, run away with the rest of the tribe first. I will block the back.”
“it’s crazy? How can I stop that many guys alone!”
“It is my duty as the chieftain to protect the tribe! Stop talking and go!”
“Hey, you bastard, since you’re the chief, you should go back too! If you die, what will our tribe do!”
“It’s better than dying right here together!”
Even while the two of them were squabbling, the gunshots from the soldiers continued.
The remaining tribesmen were also fighting desperately.
However, including the wounded, they could not handle more than 100 soldiers with only 20 people.
Besides, the weapons the soldiers had were not only firearms.
Kwaaang!
“evil!”
“Get down!”
Did the follow-up unit arrive?
The surroundings quickly turned into chaos as the soldiers began to actively pour firearms such as mortars, grenades, and grenade launchers into the offensive.
Even so, it’s hard to say that it’s a mass-produced weapon.
However, that alone was a disaster for the tribe members who were fighting with only an old AK-47.
“Ugh, we’re dead now…”
Now that there was no way to escape, Shu covered the unconscious Hata and cried out in pain.
Umbaru, on the other hand, gritted his teeth.
“Even if I die, I will die fighting!”
“Surrender isn’t even an option?”
“Even if you surrender, you will either be executed or become a battle slave! I would rather kill one more and die than fight and die for the Lucuma tribe!”
“Eww, this guy is called the chief…”
Shu eventually picked up Hata’s gun while grumbling.
If she was a healer, she wouldn’t be executed, but it was obvious that she would end up in a bad way in many ways instead.
She agreed that it would be better to just fight and die here than to suffer like that.
After exchanging glances with the remaining comrades and saying goodbye for the last time, they all jumped out of cover and opened fire.
However, their counterattack did not last long.
Fish Whoop!
“It’s an RPG!”
“Oh damn. I can’t catch even one and I’m going to die.”
Did you decide to get rid of the most annoying umbaru first?
Seeing not just one or two, but five or six RPGs flying at them all at once, Shu put on a dejected expression.
The moment Umbaru tried to cover her with his body.
Phaging.
“…huh?”
“…uh?”
The space is shaking.
Two figures appeared.
Of course, the middle between them and the soldiers.
That too, right in front of the fiercely flying rocket bullet.
Kwaaaaaang!!!
How many times do you want the flames from the first rocket to devour the other rockets and cause a series of explosions?
The heatwave that would have hit them originally.
Umbaru and Shu blinked at the sight of it swallowing the two people who jumped out of nowhere and spewing out a cloud of smoke.
“…what just happened?”
“I don’t know…”
The two of them were not the only ones perplexed.
The other tribe members, as well as the soldiers who had been shooting hard all this time, stopped attacking.
what just happened
because I couldn’t understand
But that peace did not last long.
As if to check what had happened after the battle,
the soldiers resumed their attack, forcing Umbaru and other tribe members to hide behind cover again and strike back.
The battle resumed like that, while bullets flew in the air.
A wisp of voice came through the smoke of the RPG explosion that had barely begun to subside.
“Everybody stop moving.”
“…!”
Umbaru was taken aback.
It wasn’t just that I was surprised to see a human shadow in the smoke that would have turned even a high-level player into mush.
The moment I heard the strangely clear voice amidst the loud gunfire.
The feeling he felt when fighting a lion with only a spear in the past…
No, rather, a feeling several times more chilling than that made his body harden.
“Stop the week! Stop shooting!”
“hey! it’s crazy?”
“Stop anyway!”
“What nonsense….”
While being taken aback by the absurd instruction to stop shooting while the bullets were pouring in, Shu couldn’t bear to shoot.
During battle, it wasn’t just that the chieftain’s orders were absolute.
I felt uncomfortable because she felt the same way.
“What are you doing? Come on, shoot…!”
On the other hand, the commander of the soldiers ordered the fire.
For a soldier in a war, it was a response that was beyond natural and even splendid.
But that was a mistake.
Fuck!
Before the commander even finished the order.
A human figure leaped out of the smoke and kicked him away in the blink of an eye.
“Didn’t I tell you to stop moving?”
I hit him in the pit of the stomach and kick his chin with his knee as he bent down.
“When a person speaks, you have to listen!”
I grabbed the collar that was about to fall backwards and slapped it dozens of times.
“I was trying to get over it as best I could, but the bastard is going to shoot me somewhere!”
Finally, after throwing him to the floor with an overturn, he trampled the pit with his foot.
In the blink of an eye, Umbaru and Shu open their mouths at the sight of a person becoming rags.
Realizing only belatedly that the rag was their commander, the soldiers hurriedly pointed their guns at the assailant and tried to warn him.
Awesome!
“It seems that many people haven’t heard the warning he just gave, so I’ll say it again.”
The soldiers hardened.
Before even targeting the opponent.
A flash of light cut through the air, and the guns of the soldiers around the commander were cut to pieces.
“No one should move from now on.”
how soon did it come?
The blue-haired beauty, dressed in her normally tidy but now tattered traveling clothes, opened her mouth quietly, blocking the line between the commander and the soldiers.
And over the cracked spectacles, a kind smile was etched.
“Anyone who disobeys this warning will be regarded as testing the limits of my mercy.”
if it was normal.
The soldiers would have laughed.
To them, who had been wrung out on the battlefield and tempered with all sorts of abusive language, that gentle warning sounded far too disingenuous.
Even so, there are two reasons why the soldiers hardened by swallowing dry saliva.
One was a sharp sword that did not come out even after cutting their firearms held in the woman’s hand.
And another was because of the veins on her forehead.
Everyone could see that no matter how deep a woman’s benevolence was, it was already close to its limits.
“Whoa damn it. Anyway, these days, I don’t know how to listen to things with words.”
how long has it been
The assailant, who stopped only after turning the commander into a porridge, brushed his dusty hair.
And he turned his head away.
“hey.”
“…”
“What are you pretending not to hear? A big, big guy over there.”
“Are you looking for me?”
“Yes you.”
Is it because of the sudden nomination?
Umbaru, who gave an awkward answer, was asked casually by the other party.
“I’m going to ask just to confirm, but were you guys fighting with them?”
“…Yes.”
“Good. Tie them up.”
“Arrest?”
Umbaru blinked like a cow at the sudden remark.
“Take the gun and tie it with a rope or shackle it so it doesn’t run away.”
“Why do we…?”
“Will you listen to me after you become like this bastard?”
puck!
It’s not intentional, but it seems like he’s willing to build another karma if he wants it.
Umbaru nodded hurriedly at the words of the opponent, who had been kicking the head of the already unconscious commander with a small foot and glaring at his eyes.
“Ha! Bind everyone!”
“Hey man! Whatever you say…”
“We’ll talk about it later. Do it now!”
In the end, the tribe members, including Shu, disarmed and arrested the soldiers while being shaken up.
Didn’t you want to be a prisoner like this?
Some soldiers resisted in a fit of rage or tried to flee, but the results were disastrous.
If the gun is smashed by the blue-haired woman, it’s at least medicine.
Those caught by the person who assaulted the commander had to be beaten carefully from head to toe according to precedent.
So, when all the work was done, everyone couldn’t even dare to resist.
“The arrest is over.”
“Oh, good job. Then let’s take it and leave.”
“…depart? Where?”
“Where is it? Of course it’s your village.”
“In our town?!”
Umbaru was frightened.
I was able to do it without worrying about tying up the soldiers.
But taking those soldiers, even these two, to the village was a whole different matter.
“why?”
Yes.
In a nutshell, I mean this kind of opponent.
“What’s wrong?”
Blonde hair glistening in the sunlight.
Even though it was tanned as if it had been tanned, its brown skin looked soft rather than hard.
Wearing only a gold necklace and bracelet, her upper body revealed her thin waist and slender body.
On top of that, an Egyptian costume with a loin cloth wrapped around the waist and covering only the top of the knee.
Because of his short stature, his slightly raised eyes and even his youthful face made him look even more arrogant.
Even though he only looked like a child, Umbaru couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw the blond-tanned handsome boy who looked more frightening than a beast.
