Chapter 18: Erset mine [4]
"fuck!"
Hans, a soldier at the Erset Mine, cursed.
When Duke Carriers' new weapon struck, his comrades fell to the ground. It was truly a sight he had never seen before. How can a person do that? Knocking down dozens of people with a small hammer, not even a warhammer.
"Um, that's the Northern Berserker..."
A word Hans said without thinking. Someone must have heard that, and made a groaning sound.
"So the rumor was true?"
"What rumor?"
"They say he captured and killed dozens of barbarians every day. Every day for five years!"
"Hey, aren't they just guys wearing rags anyway? We can do that much."
Hans quickly came to his senses and refuted his colleague's words. Even if the author has made a name for himself, he only has a toy-like hammer.
On the other hand, the soldiers at Erset Mine were well-armed and trained.
Didn't he draw his sword without hesitation despite orders to oppose the duke? In addition, he had a wealth of practical experience.
Recently, he even managed to catch an ogre that was wandering around. In fact, they were comparable to the regular imperial army. There was no need to be blindly afraid.
"Shouldn't we stop him somehow first? Now that things have turned out this way."
"If you step back, the only thing that will happen is death."
"Good. Let's go somewhere."
The soldiers immediately began to surround Abel. Since time immemorial, one hand cannot overcome ten hands. No matter how strong a person is, if he is beaten from all sides, he will have no answer.
"Hit!"
Eventually, when the leader's order was given, everyone rushed in at once, like when hunting the ogre, known as the king of the forest.
Weapon flags were waved with great enthusiasm. It was a much more elaborate connection than usual. Attacks that were thwarted with just a moment's notice. This thing couldn't survive even if the berserker grandfather came.
"Done!"
Hans' eyes were momentarily filled with joy.
Although there was a numerical advantage, the opponent was still a berserker from the north. Defeating such a giant was an incredible feat.
Being selected by Viscount Erset and joining the imperial guard would not be just a dream.
However, a completely different result emerged than expected.
"It's the same."
Blah blah blah!
As Hans heard Abel's muttering, he felt tremendous pain. So much so that he couldn't even hold the handle.
Hans lost his weapon without realizing it. However, the shape of the sword that bounced was very strange.
"What? Why is it bent like this?"
The weapon he received as a supply was crumpled up like a piece of paper. It was a sword that was fine even when dealing with an ogre, but it was shattered so pointlessly. It was hard to believe even after witnessing it in person.
The dumbfounded sound lasted only a moment, followed by an incredible shock. A hammer engulfed in red energy was stuck in the side of his head.
As he was losing consciousness, Hans kept his mouth shut.
"Oh, no. Well, I have to become a royal guard..."
* * *
I literally ran like a gale.
Dozens of weapons came tangled together, but none of them touched my body.
No matter how sophisticated a coordinated attack is, there are always gaps. It was slow enough to make me yawn in the first place, so how could I not avoid it? In fact, it was much more difficult to control the force.
'There's a mountain of things to dig up, but I can't just tear the witness' pot into pieces, right?'
With each swing of the hammer, three or four soldiers fell.
Burbubbuk!
"Kkuek!"
"Keck!"
Seeing such a result come from such a light gesture, I somehow felt relieved.
'How great would it be if i was like this when I was a police officer?'
One time, I was mobilized for a stabbing incident without question. I had a lot of trouble back then.
The criminal was carrying two large knives, so it was bound to be difficult to subdue him. If I had been in this state there, I would have personally made special efforts to arrest him.
'Ugh. What kind of delusion is this?'
Isn't he no different from the soldier who muttered that he should become a Royal Guard?
"Keuuu! I need to finish it quickly."
I quickly played with my hands. This was because the longer I continued to listen to the heart of the beast, the more I became anxious. It almost completely crushed a soldier's head.
Sigh! Bye!
After about three minutes, the whole situation was over. I was standing among dozens of soldiers scattered around.
Soon, the sound of someone running toward me was heard. I slowly turned my gaze, and the faces of the judges came into view.
"Ahaha... The interest rates were so high that there was nothing we could do."
"Sorry. Your honor."
Kolund and Josef were captured by the soldiers. I had told them to keep an eye on them so they wouldn't do anything stupid, but they ended up being prisoners again.
In fact, it was a natural result.
'Well, they probably spent their whole life digging into law books. What kind of power can they even have?'
This happened because I thought too much from my own perspective.
Moreover, I had no idea that the resistance would be this fierce.
"It's okay. I will rescue you soon, so just stay still."
"Well, will that be possible?"
Josef's eyes were full of disbelief. It seems like there's a knife at his throat right now. Of course, Emir Kolund, who was calm about everything, reacted a little differently...
"Ugh! Your honor, please save me."
No, there wasn't much of a difference either.
He usually seemed dependable, but in reality, he could not escape the category of a noble man.
I am unique in that I came down from the North with a reputation.
"Be obediently bound. Otherwise, their lives will be lost!"
The soldiers shouted with great vigor. But the result was the same as before. This was because I closed the distance in an instant and hit them on the head.
Wedge! Plop!
I couldn't even react and looked down at the fallen soldiers with indifferent eyes. Then Josef quickly approached and bowed down.
"I had no doubts about your honor!"
He was truly a great guy in many ways. Even in this situation, flattery appears. I was just about to nod and move on, but Josef continued speaking.
"I discovered something strange just before I was captured by the soldiers."
"Oh, really?"
"Yep! This way."
It wasn't that long ago that I parted ways with the judges.
It only took about thirty minutes, but he achieved results already?
Although the things he did were repulsive, he seemed to have certain abilities!
