408. Ten thousand ghosts
Count Molsen was not a genius in strategy and tactics, but he had a broad mind.
It means that you moved outside of the other person’s thoughts.
When the battlefield had just begun, some of the Count’s troops broke away from their formation.
They broke away during the fight and appeared to be running away.
The kingdom’s military commander decided that there was no need to chase them. It was natural for deserters to be seen when the battle was going to be won or lost, and they were still outnumbered.
I was grateful if he ran away.
In other words, they are part of the military that no one cares about.
They came together in groups of two or three, then dispersed, and came back together following the commands echoing in their heads.
‘Find the source of magical power.’
It was natural that the destination of such movement was in front of Andrew. Looking at the group of troops who had become a surprise attack force, Andrew calmly opened his mouth.
“Are you sleeping? “I think I need to get up.”
Esther didn’t move despite Andrew’s words.
On the contrary, there was only a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
It was evidence that Esther was also fighting.
Andrew sighed.
The situation was like that of a dog.
The fight stopped beyond the battlefield, and suddenly the bastards with their eyes wide open jumped out.
‘Where do these bastards come from?’
It was a surprise attack in an unexpected way.
‘Why here?’
It’s not where the supplies are, and it’s not where Kraang is?
A place that has no meaning from a tactical standpoint?
Of course it would be because of Esther. Andrew also thought about it up to that point.
It is an infantry unit of over 50 people. They all looked like they were formidable.
I thought fifty ghouls would be better.
“Matriarch, these bastards have the same eyes.”
This is what the Freckles trainee says as he takes a step back. Andrew also recognized this.
The blood vessels must have burst, and blood was forming in most of the eyes and running down the cheeks. It was hard to even see the whites in the eyes of the guy who was fine.
Bright red masturbation and black eyes.
Only one eye was different, but it didn’t look like a human.
The intimidating appearance alone was no joke. Andrew clenched his molars.
‘Should I step down?’
Although he and his five trainees form a formation over Esther, if they fight here, they will die.
But what about running away with Esther?
Those who were shedding tears of blood were all dangling their swords, exposing their thigh muscles that seemed ready to burst.
What did you do with those thighs to make them so thick?
‘I think it would be impossible to run away.’
It would have been dangerous even if I ran away alone, so it didn’t make sense to run away with just one person in my arms.
It was broad daylight, but the sky seemed to be getting darker. The battlefield was right in front of me, so I should have felt the heat, but I felt a subtle chill.
No, I felt the same heat until a while ago, but suddenly I felt cold.
I saw them approaching without a formation.
In an old legend, there is a story about an angel fighting, shedding blood and tears, and it seemed to be a embodiment of the fable.
Did you say that you were called by the gods to fight, or that you went into battle shedding tears of blood because you did not want to be killed?
Of course, they were the opposite of Woohwa.
These were people who took drugs and maximized their physical abilities.
“Ma, ma, wizard, tear, tear, kill, kill.”
The one in the center who wasn’t shedding tears of blood stammered and said.
It was a stuffy speech just to listen to, but the meaning was clear. The target is a wizard.
What was the main purpose of sending these bastards away?
Does the captain know about the situation here?
It was a complaint that Andrew would have.
“house owner.”
One of the practitioners calls him. A reasonable choice remains. He can survive if he runs away. There is no obligation to protect a woman named Esther.
“What can I do if I can’t protect even one person behind my back?”
One day, I remembered what the captain said. In a moment of crisis, Andrew reflected on the time they had experienced together since they first met Encred.
What did you learn from watching him?
“If I can’t protect even one woman and run away, how can I protect my honor? “If I have to survive that way, from today onwards I will abandon the name Gardner.”
I would rather die here than run away.
“Turn off, turn off, turn off.”
“You go away.”
Andrew cut off the stuttering idiot’s words.
“Let me die.”
The freckled trainee spoke and designated the positions of the four. Andrew stood in the center and swung his sword vertically once.
It is a sword that strikes down. It is an expression of will. The enemy’s detachment rushed in, drooling and bloody tears.
“Oooooh!”
It was accompanied by a sound that I couldn’t tell if it was a cheer or a scream.
The opponent was as difficult as his appearance. He was fast and strong in swinging his dangling sword, and he extended his feet and swung his claws.

I wondered if this was a human being.
As a joke, I wondered if my mother was really a ghoul.
A mixed race between a human and a ghoul is ridiculous, but aren’t there such bastards right in front of you?
“You damn bastards, come at us!”
Andrew let out a scream. He’s already been stabbed in one of his thighs and his leg can’t move properly, but who cares?
That was the moment I held on and held on.
Boom!
Andrew thought the stone had come from somewhere.
Blood was flowing through my torn scalp, blocking my eyes, and the world was looking red.
I saw a tank coming steadily from one side. When I looked closely, I saw that it was not a tank but a person. He strikes the enemy with the flat blunt weapon held in his left hand, and crushes the enemy with the broad sword held in his right hand.
‘Red potatoes.’
Andrew had this thought as he looked at the crushed enemy soldiers without realizing it.
It was a help that had reached its limit and was about to collapse.
It was Teresa, a mixed-race giant warrior.
Dunbakhel also came next to him. Dun Bakel, holding a curved sword in both hands, ran wild like a deranged shaman.
The curved sword held in both hands slashed, slashed, and bent to strike the enemy.
Just like that, he mercilessly killed the detachment and rushed in front of Andrew.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“You look so pretty.”
Andrew said, wiping the blood from his eyes.
“I’m naturally pretty.”
“It looks prettier over there.”
Andrew said, glancing over Dunbakkel’s shoulder.
Teresa’s shield and sword were moving like crushers. The word ruthless must be used now.
A large female warrior whose perspective was blurred instantly crushed, crushed, shattered, and cut into pieces dozens of enemy soldiers.
Although it was far from what anyone would say, Andrew was sincere.
These are the two who saved his life. It was possible to say more than that.
Andrew sat down.
Just before Encrid set out for the Count, he sent Dunbakeel and Theresa to Esther.
The fact that Esther sent some sort of fluid or something to talk to him means that he cannot come in person.
That is evidence that it is a dangerous situation.
It was a decision made with reason, not intuition.
This is why Dunbakhel and Teresa came here.
Of course, in the midst of this, when Dunbakeel saw the Count, he felt a sense of self-destruction along with his instinctive fear.
Teresa was irritated because she felt that her skills were lacking.
There are people in such situations who need them and have been saved.
The two felt better when they saw Andrew.
“Cough!”
Just before Theresa and Dunbakel annihilated the ambushed enemy soldiers, Andrew saw Esther coughing.
She opened her eyes for a moment.
“Witch?”
Andrew called her, but Esther did not answer and closed her eyes again.
It was clear that something was wrong.
Esther rejected the Count’s magic power that had pushed her away and opened her eyes in the other side of the world again.
I could see something like black soot spreading around the count.
‘You got hit.’
To put it bluntly, it was not something I was forced to do, but something I couldn’t do anything about.
The opponent was a wizard who had prepared, and Ester had not recovered all of her magic power yet.
If my spell world had been fine, I wouldn’t have been harmed even if I knew.
‘so?’
Esther saw a man who never gave up and learned something from him.
Also, Esther was well aware of her own lofty pride.
Her self-esteem, bordering on arrogance, does not allow her to back down like this.
That’s why.
‘Do you know how to back down?’
It means that I can’t stand it without overturning the table that that wizard, who is said to be a count or something, has laid down.
If it is difficult to overcome it head on, you can use another method.
‘second best.’
Of course, this required several prerequisites.
The source of that soot, the entity that generates magical power, must be half-beaten or killed immediately.
‘Enki will do it.’
The wizard’s guess is a prophecy. It is a conclusion reached after considering the circumstances.
But what Esther said in her mind was not a prophecy.
But it wasn’t even wind.
This was faith.
It was the trust shown by the way a person lived so far.
Enki is a man who will do something if he wants to do it.
Esther believed that and prepared the next best solution.
* * *
The Count did not vent his anger. Getting angry when things don’t go your way is no different from a seven-year-old child.
‘Can’t I handle the problems that have arisen?’
I can handle it.
‘Has the plan gone terribly wrong?’
It is difficult to say that something is wrong.
My cold head quickly cooled my irritation.
I was angry that the magic circle I had prepared was distorted, but it was enough.
You can’t devour an entire kingdom at once, but you can finish one battlefield.
‘But didn’t I originally need a normal kingdom?’
Did you start this because you wanted power? When I tried to think of my past self, my other self asked.
‘Does it matter?’
The Count answered.
‘no.’
Whether it’s black or white, a throne is a throne.
Increase your household. Color the world.
After reciting the words in my heart. The count recited the spell again and again using the prepared magic circle as a base.
In fact, it was a spell that another self inside him had been reciting from the beginning of the battle.
The surprise attack may have failed, but the wizard who disrupted my spell world was fine. Then that was a problem for later.
Right now, the priority is to weed out the souls of those approaching me.
The Count raised his hand holding his staff.
When I pointed my staff forward, something like black soot spread from the tip of the staff.
No matter how dark it was, the sky, which was broad daylight, began to become blacker than before.
From behind the Count, dark clouds similar to the chair he was sitting on began to gather.
Just looking at the heavy clouds without any sound of thunder was extremely ominous.
The dark sky blocks the sun.
It seemed like everything would be painted black.
“W-what is it?”
A kingdom soldier raised his head in surprise at the strange sight.
The black sky gradually spread and reached the ground. Some of the soot crept up and landed on the soldier’s arm.
It must have happened because the dark clouds were so thick. That’s right. But how do these shadows appear when there is no sunlight?
It seems like a very cloudy, extremely cloudy day, but why can I see the surroundings?
Cold reason says so, but instinct does not.
The soldier tried to remove the soot from his arm, but the soot spread and soon took hold of his limbs.
“Keueuuuuu.”
Soon I felt something else entering my body.
It wasn’t something physical.
-Take care of yourself.
It is a ghost that invades the mind.
The soldier’s eyes blur and only the whites remain. Then he started drooling.
When the Count saw the results, he smiled and opened his mouth.
“Try bearing ten thousand ghosts!”
His voice spread throughout the battlefield. He was full of confidence. The overlapping voices shook the imagination of ordinary humans mercilessly.
Soot itself was a specter that took away human life.
The thickest of them also reached the five people who were approaching the count.
Encred heard someone muttering to him.
-Give me your body.
Before I could reply, Will reflexively reacted with rejection. Soot could not color his will in the slightest. The specter was thrown away by Will.
-… … Give me your body.
Tung.
-… … .
The ghost turned away from Encred.
Ghosts also approached Rem, but Rem knew how to deal with these guys.
But I didn’t want to touch that unpleasant fluid. It was like looking at a rotten egg in the midsummer heat and not wanting to touch it.
On the contrary, isn’t it human to want to hold one’s nose when smelling bad?
That’s why Rem swung the axe.
Hung.
The will of the ghost was scattered along the vertical ax blade.
Since he still had the magic power he gained from the Burning Madman, cutting down ghosts was not something that could be called a talent.
Even if you don’t have the power of magic, this can be done using some tricks.
Ragna ignored it.
The ghost clung to Ragna, but could not hear any reaction.
-Close up, can’t you hear? Give yourself.
Ragna consistently ignored him and the ghost gave up. Even if you don’t listen, you have to react to do something.
No ghost could pierce Ragnar’s rock-like will.
Saxony was following a little behind the group when he felt a ghost approaching and avoided it.
The soot seemed to spread endlessly, but if you look closely and feel it, there were plenty of places to avoid it.
It wasn’t that difficult. Even if it was unavoidable, it didn’t matter. If you don’t suit, you can use something like a straw doll artifact.
In Saxony’s arms, there were a few items prepared just in case.
Auddin accepted the ghost. He was the only one who showed love and generosity.
‘Welcome, the Lord is waiting.’
What a pitiful soul. I will hold you in my arms. Even after death, I can’t rest in peace.
I felt like crying. In fact, a small dewdrop formed at the corner of my eye.
There was divinity hidden within Auddin. He was only bound with gold bars. The specter excitedly dug into Audin and encountered a lump of divinity bound with gold.
There was no time even to scream. She just disappeared and headed to the Lord’s side.
This was the most terrible death for a ghost.
It’s not for nothing that divinity is the opposite of monsters like undead or wraiths.
The divine power inflicted the most terrible pain on them.
Of course, Audin knew that well.
‘He said to be able to endure pain on the way to God.’
I did it even though I knew it. With the utmost thought of ghosts.
The Count frowned as the momentum of the five approaching him showed no signs of abating.
Not only that, but there were things resisting my ‘soot ghost’ here and there.
There was a guy named Kraang by his side, as well as a few others besides him.
“Those arrogant bastards?”
The Count spoke and waved his wand. If you can’t break his heart, all you have to do is tear his body apart.
“Try to block this too.”
He ordered, and following the cane, people rose from the floor of the chair where the Count was sitting, their bodies made of black soot.
He was a ghost soldier.
I materialized and sent out ghosts from the reality connected to my spell world, and the number was ten thousand.
A black wave suddenly appeared in front of Encred and the Madman Company, blocking them.
Encred didn’t worry about what to do even after seeing the endless waves.
Who is the most skilled in this kind of battle?
“Rem.”
He is a crazy ax craftsman.
“… … “I don’t feel like it.”
Rem also saw the approaching group of ghosts and knew that he had to break through.
So, even though I didn’t like it, I said what I had to say.
“Let’s form a battle formation.”
The idea was to stand in line for a specific purpose. It was a word that did not really fit with the Mad Company.
