Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius Chapter 221

Episode 221:

The earth was trembling.

Hundreds? Thousands? I think it’s probably over 10,000.

There is no strategy. They were running, trampling on each other like a monster wave, like a swarm of zombies.

But one thing is certain.

Those watching it from the castle walls were overwhelmed.

The number of people filling the front made us feel intimidated.

“What are you doing! It’s the enemy! “Raise your bow!”

Then the Marquis of Easton shouts. He came to his senses faster than anyone else and commanded his soldiers.

“load!”

As soon as the Marquis of Easton finished speaking, a sharp voice was heard.

At the sound, the Marquis of Easton turns around.

Arjuna, who had already arrived, was on top of the castle wall with red hawks, holding a bow.

At Arjuna’s signal, the red falcons simultaneously drew their bows and aimed at the barbarians.

Not to be outdone, the Marquis of Easton shouted at his soldiers and ordered them to shoot arrows.

Soldiers in the front and red hawks in the back aim at the barbarians.

“Shoot!”

The first to protest were the Red Hawks.

The distance from the barbarians is more than 500m.

Even though the arrow could not reach the distance, Arjuna did not hesitate and let go of the demonstration.

Arrows filled with auras fly, followed by arrows fired by red hawks.

Quaaang – An arrow filled with green aura hit the barbarian running from the front and caused a large explosion.

The surrounding barbarians were caught up in the explosion.

After that, dozens of arrows aim at the knees, heads, and hearts of the barbarians.

Barbarians hit by arrows fall.

Even if it wasn’t a hundred or so, the arrows of the red hawks stopped their advance, even if only for a moment.

“wait. “Not yet.”

Unlike the red hawks who reloaded their arrows and pulled the strings, the Marquis of Easton waited.

As there was no signal from him, the soldiers were still standing still with their hands drawn.

The strings are not loose, and the tension of the bows they are pulling is so strong that even strong adult men would have difficulty pulling them unless they are trained.

The soldiers were pulling that thing without moving a single inch.

Even though their arms were numb, their shoulders were stiff, and their fingers were sore from pulling the strings, they did not show it.

He glared at the barbarians with sharp eyes and waited for the signal from the Marquis of Easton to come at any time.

“Shoot! load! Shoot!”

On the contrary, the red hawks were busy.

Hang an arrow on a string and shoot.

Already five times their arrows pierced the barbarians between the eyes.

Dozens of barbarians were killed. At this point, it is natural for them to feel a sense of crisis…

‘Is this how large numbers work?’

There are ten thousand people. Even though the army was over 10,000 strong, there was no way the advance would stop even if only a few dozen people were killed.

Rather, they were trampling on the corpses of their colleagues who had been running with them just a moment ago.

It’s getting closer.

No matter how fast the red falcons fired arrows, even Arjuna’s aura-filled arrows could not stop their advance.

All it did was slow down.

When they got closer, the Marquis of Easton, who was watching the barbarians’ advance, shouted.

“now!”

Soldiers shoot arrows. But the direction was strange.

We aimed at the barbarians, not at them.

The arrows hit the ground sequentially.

Tuung – I heard the sound of something breaking.

A rope that had been buried in the dirt and was not visible was thrown out, and a huge pit was created in front of the castle.

It was a depth that could not be created by human power.

The barbarians who were running like crazy fell into the pit created by the power of the spirits.

Dozens of barbarians were buried in a bottomless pit so deep that the barbarians behind them hurriedly stopped.

However, he was unable to overcome their speed and did not see the hole, so he collided with the person running behind him and ended up falling again.

“There are a lot.”

It seems that more than a hundred people fell down there, but there were so many barbarians left that it was meaningless.

When there were a thousand people, if more than a hundred people disappeared, it would definitely be noticeable.

But it was meaningless in front of the number 10,000.

There was no way they would be intimidated unless they disappeared by the thousands.

Although they were embarrassed, they did not back down.

“Move!”

“What are you doing! “You have to step on corpses!”

“They sacrificed themselves for us!”

Warrior commander? No, judging from the shape and amount of tattoos, he appears to be a Daejeon warrior.

They shout at the barbarians who hesitate in front of the pit.

“Throw those who can’t fight and make a way!”

“Are you going to go against the wishes of the chieftain?”

“in action!”

The great warriors urge the barbarians.

Is the word ‘chief’ so scary?

They reacted so excessively to the word ‘chief’ that it was visible even from the castle wall.

A gap opens between them and the barbarians grab someone and start throwing them into the pit.

Those caught in their hands are none other than the elderly and weak.

Elderly people who cannot fight and those who are injured during battle and cannot use weapons properly.

The barbarians were making a path by throwing them into pits.

The soldiers watching from the castle wall clicked their tongues at that action.

“Shoot! “We must not let them build the road!”

The Marquess of Easton commanded the soldiers, even though he frowned at their actions.

And even that action did not last long.

The arrows of the soldiers’ red hawks hit and felled the barbarians dragging the old and the weak.

Then the barbarians threw even the fallen into the pit.

It didn’t seem like they even had any intention of treating his injuries.

Since they were so numerous, they did such actions without hesitation.

“You’re crazy. “They are truly crazy people.”

As I was looking at them, I thought that it was a good idea to join hands with Daejeonsa.

If the Great Master had not told me their true intentions, I would have been greatly disturbed by such actions.

Fortunately, by working with Daejeonsa and obtaining information, we were able to come up with a plan to deal with them.

‘Even so, it’s surprising that we got there so quickly.’

According to the Daejeonsa, the barbarians will arrive tomorrow.

That meant that a variable had arisen between them.

The reason why there was no choice but to speed up the advance.

‘Could it be that they got caught?’

I couldn’t understand their behavior unless I discovered the relationship between Daejeon and this side.

I felt a little anxious because I couldn’t see any familiar faces among the countless barbarians.

However, it is not something that can be resolved by feeling anxious now, and nothing has been decided yet.

“Sir Raymond.”

As I quietly watch the barbarians, the Marquis of Easton calls me.

“I think we need to prepare.”

Preparation I know what you mean.

As an assault force, we have to stir things up once.

Well, if it’s in that state now, it wouldn’t be surprising if they came over at any time.

Before that, we need to tear them apart and put them on guard.

As a bonus, it also raises the morale of allies.

“All right.”

“Lord Bane has something else to attend to, so I won’t be able to come with you. It could be dangerous. “Can you be nice to me?”

“Honestly, I can’t say I’m confident, but… I’ll give it a try.”

You can’t say you can’t do it.

I clearly know that it will be dangerous if I get pushed back here, so how can I say I can’t do it?

He says he appreciates my words. To him, I was an outsider.

Although I came as a supply party, if everything went according to schedule, I would have to return when this supply arrived.

You might ask if that could happen during a war, but it happened all the time in Easton.

Who would want to come to the border and participate in a war that kills and kills?

Unless they are knights like Bane, there are almost no such people.

That’s why I feel even more grateful, and even though I couldn’t say anything even if I went back, they stayed until the end.

Moreover, he even made an agreement with the elves and performed many other activities.

It was not easy to ask such a person to jump into danger.

“Then I will go down and get ready.”

The Marquis of Easton nods.

I don’t know his heart completely, but I know what I have to do.

And there is no need for personal feelings to go into it.

“Are you here?”

When I went down, Lanos was waiting for me, holding that huge greatsword.

Instead of his usual light attire, his entire body was covered in iron armor.

Behind him were knights fully armed with armor.

Stormtroopers separately designated by the Marquis of Easton.

However, it was different from a normal assault force.

The role of an assault troop is similar to that of cavalry on horseback.

In order to dig into the center of the enemy and stir them up, you need a highly mobile vehicle such as a horse.

But now we had nothing to ride.

‘Why are you riding a horse or something? ‘My legs are faster than his.’

All of those gathered here are Auror users.

Among them, the intermediate level experts are particularly strong.

If they have Aurors, they can run faster than a horse.

In fact, it shows greater mobility than riding a horse.

Riding a horse can be a hindrance.

That’s why it’s an assault force.

Unlike the cavalry that plows through the enemy on horseback, they crush the enemy with only their bodies.

‘I can’t be at a loss for words.’

It was not that there was no cavalry.

I’m not using it. Now that there were potholes and traps here and there, riding a horse was a loss.

“Looks like you’re ready?”

“Because I was waiting for this situation. is not it?”

The knights did not respond to Lanos’ words as he pounded his chest, but they were agreeing with his words.

They all have a desire for revenge against barbarians.

They had such animosity towards barbarians that they were even willing to risk death.

“What are you doing? “Everyone is waiting for you.”

Lanos pushes my shoulder.

The Marquis of Easton was probably thinking of leaving the knights with more experience than me alone and letting me take charge of their unit.

What was surprising was that none of the knights included in the assault force opposed the decision.

To be honest, I don’t like being given such heavy responsibility… but what can I do?

My superior tells me to do it, but I have no choice but to criticize it.

And honestly, being swayed by myself is better suited than being swayed by others for no reason.

“Anyway, can I really not wear armor?”

“My body just gets heavier. “Don’t worry about me.”

I said indifferently to Lanos’s concerns.

Unlike them, who covered their entire bodies with iron, I wore light clothing that only covered key areas.

Even this is an outfit that emphasizes mobility, with leather armor and iron plates added.

I know you’re worried about me because I have to fight close to the enemy, but I was really fine.

Rather, increasing the weight was more cumbersome.

-I protect humans!

And there was no need to wear armor. Reems spread a protective shield around me so that others would not notice.

It may not prevent excess, but at least you can avoid getting hit by a blind arrow.

This is enough.

He approached the castle gate at the head of the knights.

“Open the gate!”

With the words of the Marquis of Easton, the castle gate opened with a heavy noise.

“uh? “The door is open!”

“let’s go! “It’s ahead!”

I could see the barbarians approaching with their eyes sparkling.

The hole in front of them was almost filled before they knew it.

I pulled out my cotton cloth and ran towards them.

“charge!”

The knights chased after me.
