one-sided battle.
one-sided battle.
Normally, of course, I would have decapitated Wolfie for not answering questions, but the reason I dared to ask her a question was for a trivial reason.
Dilated pupils and open mouth.
The moment the arrow flew and pierced my body, Wolfi was even more surprised than me, the person who was hit by the arrow. Yes, that shocked face stopped my sword.
I smiled as I pulled out the arrows stuck in my body.
“I won’t ask you twice.”
‘killing!!!’
It’s a bruise that there’s something to check and see. My mother, who was in her pocket, told me to slit the head of the fox that ate that person’s back immediately. I patted my mother with one hand and moved the tip of the sword to Wolfie’s neck.
Wolfie came to his senses only after feeling the cold metal on his skin. The first words she uttered after escaping from embarrassment were not affirmations or denials of my question.
“Fire arrows will come flying again!”
“That part is not your concern. And doesn’t it seem like a little too much time has passed for the next arrow to fly?”
“Uh uh…? Come to think of it…”
He sighed. fluff. fluff.
Corpses, blackened by lightning strikes, fell down.
“Taffy tea!”
Dakia, who had climbed over the back wall, stood on top of the wall and waved her hand at me.
“Priest Marnak, I’ve roughly sorted this out!”
Quaang!!!
Walls crumbled and half-blown corpses tumbled across the muddy yard. Strum, who was riding on top of Tergio’s head, pricked up his nose and looked around.
Crackling!
The knight whose whole body was made of metal looked around with his hideous eyes shining.
– This has also been cleaned up. successor.
“Then, everything around here has been roughly cleaned up.”
– yes.
I’m sorry for Wolfy, who was tricked by me, but my colleagues weren’t resting at the inn. In the first place, my co-workers were not the ones I would be comfortable working with. If you stepped up and helped with one hand, you helped.
Reuniting sober this morning, we unanimously agreed that it would be better to have a counterattack ready at any time in case of Wolfie’s possible betrayal.
Everything was as planned. First of all, I pretended to be alone and was tasked with making sure Wolfie that the people who would send us across the border were really ‘real’.
After that, Tergio, who has shortened himself, rides after me on the stroom. Dacia and Jamel might be caught following by Wolfi, so leave the tailing entirely to Tergio and follow me at a leisurely distance.
The moment I was finally attacked, Dakia and the others all launched a series of counterattacks as promised in advance.
And the result was the current situation.
“If you don’t want to die right away, disarm everyone and put your hands on your head over there and kneel.”
– Move quickly!
Dakia, who easily climbed over the back wall, took out her sword and subdued the people who were busy moving around the mansion and knelt in the yard.
“Priest Marnak! I’ll give you a kiss!”
“Please pull it out at once.”
“Yes yes!”
Of course Jamel, who can’t openly use authority, is completely out of power right now. I entrusted her with the role of pulling out the arrow stuck in my body. The arrow stuck in my back was very difficult for me to pull out due to the structure of my body.
width!
“Aww! bleeding! Leaking blood! Priest Marnak! How do you do this?”
I just picked one up and soothed Jamel, who was making all kinds of fuss.
“It will stop in a little while.”
“Can’t you block the hole in the mouth?”
“yes. So, you can pull out another arrow.”
“Ugh… I get it…”
I left Jamel to remove the arrow and turned my attention to the woman, Wolfie, who knelt in front of me.
“So… are you really saying you didn’t know anything?”
Quivering pupils and drooping ears. Wolfie trembled and managed to come up with an answer.
“I really didn’t know anything! thats right! Scann This bastard has really gone mad! Originally, that bastard was a man of few words, but he was sure to get things done! Really!”
“It’s been done… Does that mean that Scann has made sure to take care of those who try to cross the border by what you call ‘unofficial’ routes?”
Wolfie vigorously shook his head.
“no! I’ve been to the Northern Empire a few times with Scann’s guests, crossing the border in unofficial ways! All must be wrong! really!”
“Shut up! You traitor!!!”
Jamel, who poked his head out over my shoulder, pointed at Wolfy and shouted even louder.
“How can we believe what a traitor like you says! Betrayer to this cheater! I said I recognized everything from the time I was overcharged yesterday!”
Every time he said the word ‘traitor’ to Wolfie, a strange freshness spread across Jamel’s expression.
“Priest Marnak! Please just scold that traitor! How dare you try to betray Priest Marnak! It’s not enough to apologize a million times!!!”
width!
Jamel, who had pulled out the last arrow, jumped out as if he had waited and thrust his palm into Wolfie.
“Give it up! You traitor!!!”
“What what?!”
Jamel shouted vigorously, her bright emerald eyes shining brightly.
“What is it! Five gold coins you forgot!!! Where are you trying to eat money raw! no! ‘Traitor’ is unbelievable! cancer!!! If you move from now on, you will be scolded by Priest Marnak!”
Jamel, who hastily stretched out his hand toward Wolfy’s body, ruthlessly rummaged through all of Wolfy’s pockets and began taking out the items inside. Wolfie looked at me with a teary face and said to Jamel.
“Left trouser pocket! There are five gold coins in it!”
“Quiet! this cheater! They say you can’t believe what a traitor says! joy. Have you set a trap that will explode if I put my hand in your left trouser pocket?”
Jamel, of course, didn’t believe Wolfy’s words and calmly rummaged through all the pockets except for the left pants pocket and began taking out all sorts of junk from Wolfie’s pocket.
A comb to tidy up the tiny dagger hairs. Unidentifiable grasses. Jamel, who had taken all kinds of things out on the floor, had only one option left: Wolfie’s trouser pockets.
Jamel turned his head slightly and asked me.
“But what if I put my hand in my pants pocket and cut off my finger…?”
“There’s no way there’s such a device in your pants pocket! Then I can’t use my pants pockets either, so why should I set a trap like that in my pants pockets!”
Wolfie protested strongly, but Jamel did not listen to Wolfie’s words. She narrowed her eyes and looked over Wolfy’s body before asking me.
“Should I just take all of this off?”
“What?! no! why strip me money! I’ll take that out and give it to you!”
Worried that it might really come off in front of everyone, Wolfie, panicked, removed her hand from her head and hurriedly tried to get the money out of her pocket.
“oh! Where are you moving! I can’t stop right now!!! Where is this traitor stealing away!!!”
slap!
Naturally, Jamel did not sit idly by. Jamel, who removed Wolfie’s hand, glared at her and shouted.
“Put your hands back up right now! Where are you moving your hands without permission from Priest Marnak! aha! That’s it!”
A smile spread across Jamel’s lips that he understood everything.
“You are preparing for a new betrayal! You wicked traitor!!!”
Apparently Jamel was too excited and excited, and I thought the wounds would have healed, so I patted her on the shoulder and sat her on top of the box I was sitting on.
“You have done very well so far. Jamel, please sit down and rest for a while. From now on, I will do it myself.”
“Ah… yes…”
Jamel looked at Wolfie with eyes full of regret. If he gave permission right away, Jamel would be able to mistreat Wolfie all day long. Of course, I can’t allow it because it’s obvious that I’ll just waste my time needlessly.
I smiled and talked to Wolfie.
“hand. You can move. First of all, like Jamel said, let’s get the money back. And I don’t want you to do useless resistance. As you can see, I am not someone who dies so easily.”
Wolfie silently reached into his trouser pocket and held out a pocket to me. I took the pocket and checked the money inside.
Five gold coins and about twenty silver coins.
I took the five gold coins and returned the pouch to Wolfie. Wolfie accepted the pouch with bewildered eyes. She probably thought I was going to take all her money.
Wolfie put the money bag in, licked her lips once, and slowly opened her mouth.
“I don’t know if you’ll believe it, but I really have nothing to do with this.”
“I believe.”
“I don’t know about you, but I don’t only work with this scann, there are a lot of them… Huh?”
I said as I gently patted Wolfie on the shoulder.
“I believe that Wolfie did not lie to me.”
The bountiful tail was rustling. She pricked up her ears and opened her mouth cautiously.
“Then can I leave now?”
‘killing!!!’
A cry of course not. I smiled at this beast woman.
“To believe Wolfie’s words and to let Wolfie go are two different things. Do I have any reason to let you live? You already have blood on these two hands?”
Wolfie’s pupils shook violently. She seemed to realize that I had no reason to let her live. I patted her on the shoulder and continued talking.
“But you never know. Think carefully. Wolfie might already have what I want.”
She said that she had crossed the border ‘several times’ with Scann earlier. Since Wolfie was dead, he was a person who knew the way he handled his work and the ‘way’ more accurately than anyone else.
“Priest Marnak.”
calm voice. Dacia came toward me across the yard with a few drops of blood on her cheek. I looked at her and smiled.
“Did you find out anything?”
Dacia nodded slowly.
“I think I figured it out pretty much.”
“Please come here for a moment.”
“yes?”
I took a handkerchief from my pocket and wiped the blood off Dacia’s cheek. Dacia put her cheek into my touch with a very satisfied smile.
“It is done.”
“thank you.”
Dacia said to me without erasing the smile on her lips.
“I think the group led by that man named Scann was going to give up this business soon.”
Well, considering that my comrades attacked me even though they knew they would definitely not come here, it was only natural. They had no intention of doing business here any more.
“It’s fair. But did you find out why they are suddenly withdrawing?”
Dacia glanced at Wolfy standing next to her and opened her mouth.
“According to those people, this must have been one of the branches of ‘Ilech’, the tycoon of the underworld. Recently, Ilech’s headquarters was completely destroyed, so support was cut off, and the security of the Northern Empire was also overturned, so it seems that the ‘guests’ who wanted to cross over to the Northern Empire completely disappeared. There is no reason to keep this business any longer.”
Things started to make sense.
“That’s why you tried to leave this place with Scann at the head.”
“that’s right. As Priest Marnac said, he must have tried to move his base to a more profitable city rather than this poor village.”
“Hmm. I roughly understood. Then what should we do with the people we just took hostage?”
“yes…?”
Dacia looked up at me with bewildered eyes.
“You dug up only what you needed to dig up and already killed them all…? There is no reason to keep alive the criminals who attacked Priest Marnak.”
“yes…?”
At my embarrassing answer, Dacia blinked her eyes and said with a puzzled face.
“Did I get too excited?”
Dakia, who was faithful to that sense of justice, has changed like this. No, even now, Dakia was faithful to justice. However, the method was a little overdone.
There was no way to deal with it anyway, and there was no reason to keep them alive. I gently shook my head towards Dacia.
“no. Well done. Then, can you use magic to dispose of the corpse from now on? There is no need to leave a trace.”
“Okay. But what are you going to do with this impostor?”
I smiled at Dakia’s chin and asked Wolfie.
“Did you remember what I want?”
“Ah…”
Now, when I crossed the border with this beastman as a guide, everything was perfect. Wolfie trembled and looked at Dakia and me alternately, then closed her eyes tightly and shouted at me.
“I see! I’ll do it! I will do everything!”
“Good idea. Then how to cross the border right now…”
“I’ll give you my body that you ‘want’! I’ll wait on you all night starting today! Please save me!!! I don’t want to die!!!”
“yes…?”
