Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius Chapter 160

Episode 160:

Wizards used magic to trim and tie the trees brought by the knights.

The process was very quick.

The wizards used wind magic to remove the lumpy parts of the tree and used adsorption magic to attach the tree to prevent it from falling under any circumstances.

In this way, a simple but very sturdy bridge was built in the middle of a river that was over 10 meters wide.

The wizards did not use magic until the moment they placed the tree in the river.

I used all kinds of buff magic on the legs and made them stronger than most castle walls.

“From now on, never let your guard down! “If you don’t want to die, be sure to be alert to your surroundings!”

Count Warrug moved his carriage and shouted loudly to the knights.

Then he scanned the surroundings and pulled out his sword.

Even though it was not a war situation, the knights stood guard with their swords drawn.

I was surprised to see them looking around so nervously.

There was nothing around that could be dangerous.

It would have been dangerous to be swept away by the swollen river, but that was not a reason to draw the sword.

“Wizards come inside, knights stand outside! “You must never lose your luggage!”

The driver in the lead grabbed the horse’s bit and slowly and carefully climbed onto the bridge.

His face was filled with tension as he looked in all directions while holding his sword.

Even the carriage at the back came up onto the bridge and moved very quietly.

Gnaw, gnaw.

At that time, a sound like something being scratched was heard from somewhere.

-Human There is something in the water.

The hatchling, who had been sleeping on my head ever since I was a warlock, started talking to me.

-I’m sleepy. Humans do their best.

With those words, the hatchling came down from its head, flew away, and got on top of the carriage.

I looked into the water, leaving behind the hatchling, which had found the softest spot, opened its coils, and started to sleep again.

“What is that?”

Only then was I able to see ‘it’ moving around in the water.

I felt a presence in the water. However, I ignored it because I thought it was just water and things like fish and it wouldn’t be a big threat.

But it wasn’t.

The ‘things’ that were moving around in the water, suddenly clinging to trees and starting to gnaw away at them, should not be ignored.

A snake-like monster with eight red eyes.

“It’s Lamprey!”

A knight who discovered it shouted in all directions, and other knights and wizards quickly raised their weapons.

“Do not leave the line! You must not leave the battle line at any moment! “Keep in mind that once you stray, there is no way to save you!”

Count Warrug shouted as he infused his sword with aura.

The knights couldn’t even answer.

Count Warrug didn’t blame them, knowing that they were too busy to concentrate.

Cheongbeom Cheongbeom!

“Stop it!”

Count Warrug shouted as he cut down a lamprey jumping over the water.

“Move quickly!”

Count Warrug came towards me, shouting.

“Raymond, your job from now on is to save those in danger. “Can you do it?”

I looked around at his words.

As if they thought that gnawing on the tree was useless, I saw lampreys jumping on the water and running towards them one by one.

The knights swung their swords as calmly as possible and cut down the lampreys.

“It’s not a matter of whether you can do it, it’s whether you should do it.”

Since I came here, it wasn’t something that would happen just because I didn’t do it.

Just because I wouldn’t fight in the middle of the battlefield didn’t mean the enemies wouldn’t kill me.

Even more so, what about monsters without reason?

Rather, the more he hesitated, the more dangerous it became.

“okay. request.”

He smiles and slaps me on the back as if he liked my answer.

I lifted the name and moved.

Sigh!

I fell to the right, cutting down the lamprey rising right in front of me.

There is Count Warrug on the left, so I don’t have to worry about it.

I only have to worry about the right side.

“You must never stop!”

Count Warrug continued to spit out words.

“shit! “I said it was okay this time!”

“Joseph du!”

“Aaaah!”

The knights swing their swords wildly.

Unlike knights who swing their swords at random, wizards did not use magic carelessly.

This is because if they use magic carelessly in such a small space, they could end up in danger.

instead.

[Haste!]

[Weight!]

[Slow!]

I used the most efficient method possible, applying buffs and debuffs to allies and monsters.

“It’s no joke.”

I cut down the lamprey again and again, but there was no end in sight.

In fact, the more I cut, the more I smell the blood, and the lamprey that was far away came running in excitement.

Before we knew it, the wooden bridge was surrounded by hundreds of lampreys.

Queeeeeek!

The cries of the lamprey stung my ears.

As we were cutting down the lamprey without stopping, the carriage was able to reach the end before we knew it.

It was time for all the wagons, except for a few, to get on land.

Kieeeeek!

An odd crying sound was heard from somewhere.

Just hearing that cry gave goosebumps to my whole body.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

The water rose even more and we began to be submerged up to our ankles, so we moved the carriage even more hastily.

“shit! It’s Mr. Serpent!”

what?

I felt my body stiffen at the knight’s shout.

The Sea Serpents were the children of the Serpent, one of the predators of the sea and the same beast as the Kraken, known as the scourge of the sea.

Why are these people who only live in the sea here?

They were dangerous on land, but there was no way to deal with them on the water.

At least the Sword Master didn’t even dare to challenge them.

There are several reasons.

Shooting out breath like a dragon is one thing, but the biggest reason to be afraid of them is.

“Crazy how many of those are there!”

“Move quickly!”

Because they move around in droves.

Something approached from far away in the river, a little over 10 meters across.

At first glance, it looked like a wave or like seeing a dam burst and a stream of water pouring out all at once.

A monster with a color similar to water.

Dozens of Sea Serpents, resembling dragons without feet and wings, measuring as much as 45 meters in size, were pouring out with their bodies tangled here and there.

It’s been a long time since even Lamprey got scared by their appearance and disappeared.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The last carriage was on land and one of the drivers was about to get off the bridge.

“uh…?”

His feet slipped and his body leaned toward the water.

While everyone was staring blankly at it, they hurriedly ran to him.

Thump-kwakwakwakwakwa!

As soon as he was able to pull his arm, a group of Mr. Serpents rushed past where he was.

“I lived!”

The knight who was thrown by my hand was breathing heavily and looked blankly at the Sea Serpents.

His face turned pale at the thought of almost falling into that group.

“Good job.”

Before I knew it, Count Warrug approached me and tapped my shoulder.

“I don’t want to do something like this again.”

Crossing the bridge was only a brief moment.

In just 10 minutes or so, I felt exhausted and exhausted.

“ha ha ha. It’s natural since I’ve been through something like this. “I’m a bit embarrassed by this too.”

How could I even understand Lamprey?

Because they were monsters that lived in the river and were famous for attacking people and animal monsters passing by the river.

But it wasn’t Mr. Serpent.

It was very strange for things that should only exist in the sea to appear in the river.

Sea Serpents never leave the sea no matter what the circumstances.

Even if it means threatening my life.

‘Oh, there is one thing.’

estrus period.

At that time, Sea Serpent escapes from the realm of the sea.

But that happens once a year and only in winter.

And it’s not winter now.

“There is still a long time left in estrus. What happened?”

Even Count Warrug’s face hardened at the appearance of Mr. Serpent.

This was by no means something to be taken lightly.

It was clear that he would probably report back as soon as he got back.

“Then move slowly. “They’ll be waiting for us in Easton.”

Marquess of Easton.

In the south, he is a ruler who exerts influence similar to that of a king and is the kingdom’s shield that blocks barbarians who try to attack from below.

It was an important place in the kingdom in a different way than the north.

The northern part is jointly operated not only by the Serion Kingdom but also by several other kingdoms and empires, but the southern barbarians are only attached to Serion.

In other words, if Cerion was breached, even other kingdoms would not be safe from the barbarians.

“Let’s go.”

The carriage, which had stopped for a moment, started moving again.

Although there were obstacles, they could not stop us from spreading supplies.

We must absolutely not stop under any circumstances.

Even if it meant death, we had to deliver supplies.

The south was a very barren place.

Not only was it difficult to produce food individually, it was also difficult to obtain weapons.

If it were not for the supply that came once every three months, they would have no choice but to starve or become poorly armed.

In that case, the southern force would inevitably decrease, and if a mistake was made, the defense line could be breached.

You never know when the barbarians might attack, so you can’t delay.

Putting aside the shock of being Mr. Serpent, we moved quickly.

***

After moving for a full day without stopping, we were able to arrive at the Marquis of Easton.

There were numerous traps and fires burning corpses around the castle that could be seen from afar, and black smoke rising from the fires filled the sky.

“There is no such thing as hell.”

“There are more traps than the last time I came.”

The knights who had participated in the supply unit in the past looked around and sighed softly.

As I carefully passed the traps and headed toward the castle, rangers shouted from the castle walls with their bows aimed.

“To death!”

Even though they clearly knew that we were a supply unit, they did not hide their guard.

The will to never open the door under any circumstances was evident unless it was decided.

“Pay back!”

Count Warrug came forward and shouted loudly.

“It’s a supply unit!”

“Open the door!”

Only then did the rangers hurriedly open the castle gate, letting out shouts of joy.
