Episode 644 Rising public sentiment, the majesty of the Hafman Merchant Army (2)
The guards standing guard on top of the spire are in an emergency.
“Monsters are coming!”
“Get ready for battle!”
At that, most of the guards, including the shift troops, came out in a hurry.
Armed with spears and swords, they guarded the village entrance.
at that time.
The troops of Hafman’s top were also added.
The branch manager said with a bluish face.
“We are the dispatched troops sent by the Hafman Company! The situation is critical, so let me help you!”
“Ha halfman top?”
Why is Jeilsang in such a southern area?
Doubt for a moment.
Watching the horde of monsters attacking in front of his eyes, the guards captain finally nodded.
“It seemed difficult to deal with with my men. Please.”
“Don’t worry. Can I leave the instructions to the captain of the guards?”
“Of course.”
The guards captain blew the whistle he was holding in his left hand.
Woo-woo-!
When a gigantic drum sounded like it was being torn apart, the town began to notice the commotion.
People who came out one by one screamed when they saw the monster running over the mountain range.
“It’s a monster!”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
The confusion increased, but the action quickened accordingly.
As the merchants pack their luggage and prepare to run away, others are also busy moving.
Seeing this, the branch manager was relieved.
‘What if I didn’t run away?’
The guards and themselves will block the monsters, but there will be monsters that escape.
Even if only one was released into the village right away, a terrible situation would occur.
The branch manager gritted it.
“It’s hard work in your later years!”
He squeezed the unfamiliar sword bottle tightly.
* * *
When everyone left because of the commotion, Lacia, who was left alone on the street, ran around here and there.
As she wandered around places where her presence had not yet disappeared, she felt a strange feeling.
“This is…”
Unfamiliar, but oddly heterogeneous energy.
I followed the signs and went inside the shabby auction house.
Iron spade –
as soon as you open the rusty brass door.
A small arrow flew in front of my eyes.
Wedge-Ae-Ae-!
Even at a glance, there is a considerable amount of mana.
Lacia took a step and lightly dodged it.
Then, this time, swords cut from all sides.
I used my right foot as the axis to support my center and hit it hard with my left hand, and the sword that was rushing fiercely broke.
Turong-!
A muffled sound is transmitted to your hand.
Realizing the difference in skill, the black man withdrew.
Lacia said as she lightly brushed off her gloved hand.
“To wield a sword at a lady who visited the store without hesitation. You have bad manners.”
“…Who are you?”
At that question, she glanced around the store.
An old building like an abandoned building.
Even though there was a commotion outside the village, if it was a black robe hiding in a place like this, hiding its presence, there was only one answer.
“You. Is it a black room?”
“Black room?”
“Even if you pretend you don’t know, you’ve already been caught. Don’t resist needlessly and be obediently captured.”
The way he speaks as if he is going to show mercy is very irritating.
The men in black snorted ‘Huh’ and pointed their swords at them.
He still has the will to fight.
At that, Lacia let out a fishy laugh.
“It seems that they are people who can’t understand what they are saying.”
I don’t want to use mana recklessly, but if the situation suits me, it’s what she wanted.
Three black men performed the examination.
A checkup unique to Heukbang that adds strength to one person.
Lacia watched it with a light heart.
“It’s a sloppy examination. Grease.”
The floor slides along with her booty.
For a moment, even the men in black lost their balance and almost fell.
Watching them barely maintain the checkup, Lacia moved her mana again.
“Wherever you are, try dancing. Fire wall.”
Whoaaah-!
A fierce pillar of flame surged around them.
The floor is slippery and there are fires all around.
As a result, it was difficult for them to demonstrate their skills.
Lacia lightly teased her feet.
Is the floor not slippery?
She moved softly as if petals were falling to the floor, and she attacked as if she was shooting out once in a while.
“Ice spear.”
Cha Cha Cha Chang-!
Sharp chunks of ice fly through the fire.
Until they were in front of their eyes, they could not be seen because they were covered by a wall of flame, so the people in black had to sharpen their senses.
Chaeeng-!
The black man in the lead was about to break the ice spear.
Aiming for a gap, her melancholy flew in.
“Keugh!”
In an instant, he grabs the neck pole and slams it down to the floor.
Since that series of processes happened in an instant, other people in black were unable to react.
Two people who belatedly grasped the situation swung their swords in turn.
It spews out a sword aura that looked like it was a span wide, aiming for a vital spot and rushing at it.
From the first attack, it’s a vital point.
It’s a very obvious attack.
she threw up her hand
Kaaaang-!
The fiercely charged sword aura broke at once, and the people in black vomited blood in the aftermath.
“Cuck!”
“Cool!”
Lacia poured mana into her completely open chest.
Endless mana spewed out from the mana rod completed under Ray’s intensive training.
Aaaah-!
“Aagh!”
“Keo-eo-eok!”
High purity mana is poisonous by itself.
The black people who received Lacia’s mana directly hit their bodies, and they couldn’t stand it even for a moment and slumped.
“Is there only one person left?”
After collecting the mana, she walked away.
Leaving the man in black who had fainted on the floor.
She headed to a place where she felt another presence.
Let’s open the warehouse door strongly.
There, a girl who looked like her age was holding her head and shivering.
“Please save me! I will do anything you ask!”
“Please stop it. If anyone sees it, they’ll think they’ve met a murderer.”
The person responsible for turning the three men in black into porridge just now hardened his expression as if he was worried that someone would hear it.
“Wouldn’t you… kill me?”
“It’s unreasonable for a lady to have blood on her hands. you are?”
“It’s called Ete…”
He answered well with a face that still did not go away in fear.
“You don’t seem to be one of these guys, did you get caught?”
“Yes….”
Then, it means that he is a hostage useful enough to be held by the Black Room.
Since I couldn’t feel any sign of mana from the girl, the goal must be the people around her.
“I’m sorry for talking this way right after we met, but what about family relationships?”
“…I have one older brother.”
“Brother. It’s always nice to have an older brother.”
“yes. They are the best family for me. You have taken care of me since I was a child.”
“I think I know how you feel.”
An unusual event occurred where she sympathized with others without blood or tears.
When something seemed to turn on in her head, Lacia hurriedly shook her head to shake off her thoughts.
“Isn’t he involved with these people?”
“…we lived in the same town. Then, one day, they were caught by a slave trader and scattered. That is all I know.”
There are many cases of slave traders capturing people.
But the slave trader intervened in the black room’s involvement.
Something felt out of place.
‘The identity of the slave merchant must be a disguised black room. Take any potential hostages and kill the rest. It’s too authoritative.’
Perhaps the only survivors of the village are the girl and her brother.
Lacia, who was drooling, soon pondered over the treatment of the girl.
It’s the same as leaving it in the village like this.
I can’t help it, but for the time being, I have no choice but to leave the harp at the top or leave it to my parents.
To the girl wearing rags, Lacia handed the clothes draped over her shoulders.
“Try to hide your ugliness.”
“Oh no. You can’t take it carelessly.”
“Are you going to refuse my favor?”
Until now, Lacia had a lot of kindness towards her family, but never showed any kindness toward others.
If you reject her unusual behavior, retaliation will follow, although you may not know it.
Sensing it instinctively, the girl hurriedly put on her clothes.
The clothes warmed by her warmth were quite warm.
A faint smile appeared on her face for an instant, and Lacia let out a sigh.
Even if it was caught, it was caught by the terrible guys.
He must have had no proper food or water, let alone clothes.
Seeing how happy they are with just a small favor.
Lacia dragged the black man outside.
Hearing the sound of the monster coming from far away, it seemed like a battle would break out soon.
“I have sowed, so I must reap soon.”
“yes?”
“Follow me.”
Lacia led the way.
After walking for some time, we arrived at the entrance of the village.
Like the southern region, where security is not good, the entrance also did not have a single wall.
All that is there is a slightly tall fence and a battery with spears stuck here and there.
Lacia, who arrived with Ete, let out a small sigh.
Because of this, it seemed that even a changeless nongseong was not possible.
just as expected.
The guards and half-man’s upper ranks are glaring at the monster with a clear look of nervousness.
So far, the engagement has not taken place, but the odds of winning seem slim.
In the first place, they are numerically inferior.
If they collide like this, the guards will surely be crushed.
She gracefully rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward.
“I will sort this out.”
At those words, the branch manager was taken aback.
“Ah, lady!”
“Don’t worry and step back.”
“It can’t be. If I withdraw from here, I will be beaten to death by the sorcerer.”
Even if I die, the will to die here has been transmitted.
Lacia didn’t respond as if she was telling her to do whatever she wanted.
Instead, I closed my eyes and concentrated.
It is said that the mana rod is made similarly, but in order to attract a huge amount of mana, it is necessary to unite the mana and focus on yourself.
Only Ray in this world can do it as easily as drinking water.
Calm mana flowed out of Lacia’s raised hand.
Gradually growing mana surrounds her.
“This is…”
The branch manager had a similar experience once before.
When Taesangdanju at the top was casting magic.
Compared to now, it was an absurdly short moment, but it clearly had a similar strength.
I can’t believe it.
The branch manager’s eyes on Lacia gradually widened.
