The Returned Sword King Decided to Become a Tyrant Chapter 117
Prepared Work, Forgotten Land (4)
“The direction is northeast! The number of troops is estimated to be at least five hundred!”
“It looks like they’ve gathered the surrounding troops in a hurry. What’s the distance?”
“It’s about 4 kilometers away!”
I walked forward, listening to the soldiers’ cries. Before I knew it, the inside of the garrison was turning into a chaotic scene.
After that, the vassal of the Duke of Chang followed him and urged him urgently.
“Your Majesty! I am the Barbarian Warrior Oh Baek!”
“I know, too.”
“Oh, quickly send troops… … No, for now, it would be better to use the Archmage’s magic… … .”
… … Huh!
After talking nonsense like that, he met my gaze and just kept his mouth shut.
It was because the gaze was so cold and expressionless.
“Are you in command of this expedition?”
“Oh, no.”
“Then keep quiet. It’s not your job to understand the situation or to sort it out.”
“… … I will keep that in mind.”
The vassal of the Duke of Changdeok bowed his head like that.
I walked past the figure and gave instructions to the approaching George.
“There’s no need to exhaust our troops so early. I’ll go and deal with them together with the Sun Knights.”
“Well, I feel like it’s just the beginning.”
“For the time being, I will leave command of the garrison to you.”
“Yes? Me?”
George asked back with a distorted face at the sudden instruction.
“How can I command troops?”
“I bet you’ve learned a lot of things in preparation for something like this.”
“No, but that’s… … .”
“Do as I say. No dissent will be tolerated.”
No matter what the guy said, my thoughts did not change.
The leadership that he had shown in the village of Hwajeonmin. And the method he had brought me later as a plan to harm the Federation Empire.
Those abilities were enough to remind me of my appearance before the regression. If that’s the case, then commanding the troops would be the same.
‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to let them gain more experience.’
The barbarians are certainly strong, but they are quite predictable. They are also stubborn and reckless. Unless you lack strength, there is no better opponent to gain experience against.
If you gain practical experience like this little by little… … .
Then, I will gradually grow into the person I want to be.
“Move quickly.”
“……All right.”
I looked away and winked at the guy.
Towards the direction where hundreds of feelings are felt.

Doo doo doo doo!
The sound of horse hooves shaking the earth echoed.
As the cavalry in the lead charged forward quickly, the knights following behind also spurred on their reins.
The sound of horse hooves echoing through the snow-covered wilderness added to the tension of the battle, and when they finally encountered their forces, it burned like an explosion of fighting spirit.
“It’s over there!”
“Pick up your sword!”
visor-!
With Roder’s shout, hundreds of swords were drawn out at once.
But the barbarians who were approaching the garrison under construction laughed at the sight.
“Nice meeting you guys!”
“Looking at them, they are definitely Esteban’s goons who invaded this land last year.”
“This time, I will avenge you for that humiliation.”
As soon as those words were spoken, three men appeared among the barbarian troops.
Warriors who exude a spirit that is clearly different from that of other barbarians.
They are none other than anyone else.
“Kuuuuu.”
“Don’t think you’ll be able to return alive once you’ve caught the eye of the great warriors.”
They were the great warriors who ruled over the land of the barbarians, the great knights of ‘Khan’.
Roder’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he charged towards them.
‘Daejeonsa-ra, does that mean that the defenses have been strengthened since last year’s expedition? … .’
Could it be that some of the guys who went to the Federal Empire have returned?
Just because they were barbarians, it doesn’t mean they lacked order and discipline.
They literally lived in tribal units, but they were no different from other countries in that they moved in an organized manner through orders.
In that sense, those great warriors were the Khan’s lackeys and a kind of noble class.
The most powerful warrior of the barbarians, more powerful than anyone else. And each and every one of them is a warrior of the highest caliber… … .
But even so, Roder’s movements as he rode his horse were without hesitation.
Because before them was a man with overwhelming power compared to that barbarian warrior.
‘His Highness the Prince… …!’

Roder’s trusting eyes landed on the man in front, and soon a soft command came from him.
“Go according to plan. Kill them all without leaving a single one behind.”
“insect!”
It was the signal for the beginning of the slaughter.
Toodoodoodoo!
“You idiot bastards of the kingdom! Kill them!”
“Whoaap!”
visor!
The sword and the axe clashed, sending small sparks flying across the white snow. At the same time, red blood was sprayed.
Naturally, the one who was thrown was the barbarian warrior who had received the sword.
“Hahahaha! This weak attack is no use!”
But they were fine, even if they were slightly injured.
It was blocked by drawing out the potential and strengthening the body.
The guys also raised their voices and raised their morale at the expected results.
And then he faced the approaching cavalry head on again.
“Die!”
However, the cavalry that had been moving as if they were going to immediately cut through the barbarians quickly dispersed and escaped the barbarians’ attack range.
The barbarians who were about to swing their axes were seen panicking, and then Roder shouted as he retrieved his sword.
“Don’t confront them head-on! Just focus on reducing their numbers by hitting and retreating!”
“All right!”
“These cowards!”
“Are you hiding because you’re scared?”
The sneers of the barbarian warriors continued.
However, the Sun Knights did not choose this strategy because they were afraid of confronting them head-on.
Just to create a space for one man to be active.
I was just guiding the formation.
And the knights who knew that fact had no hesitation in repeating the hit and run.
“majesty!”
“Their forces are in disarray!”
“hmm.”
Doo doo doo doo!
“… … .”
I nodded my head as I heard the sound of horse hooves echoing all around.
Then he immediately kicked the horse’s seal and jumped high.
yet…….
thud-!
“What, what is this kid?!”
“What the hell is this guy all of a sudden!”
To my surprise, my body settled lightly among the barbarian troops.
Snowflakes and wind blown away by the shock wave.
The barbarian warriors looked bewildered, unable to comprehend the situation in which they were surrounded by hundreds of troops.
But the judgment was quick.
The one who was riding at the very front came right away, so they thought it was good news.
“… … Oh, you came to the right place!”
“You are the commander of those thugs!”
Phew-!
The flash of axe blades striking from all directions echoed around me, and the sound of a crash echoed in my ears.
Unlike the guys, I just admired it indifferently and drew my sword.
And then he swung it around calmly.
Crunch-!
“Ugh!”
“Kwaaak!”
dump-
A few sword strikes.
And in an instant, five or six corpses collapsed to the ground.
It happened so quickly that I didn’t even have time to check it with my own eyes.
The barbarian soldiers cried out in stammering voices as they looked at their comrades who had been defeated without any chance to do anything.
“What, what is it!”
“Watch out! He’s not some goblin!”
Perhaps because they had witnessed the scene directly, the guys hovered around with a look of caution.
But that doesn’t mean I was going to just sit still.
“Oh, it’s coming!”
“f*ck!”
I kicked the ground in the direction where the barbarians were most numerous.
The guys swung their axes in confusion as my form blurred, but there was no way that such attacks would hit me as I was moving so fast that my form was blurred.
Crunch!
Kukookung!
“Ahhhh!”
“what!”
The bodies of those hit by the sword flew violently, destroying the formation.
Normally, being cut by a sword would mean that a body part is severed, but surprisingly, the force was so strong that he was shocked as if he had been hit by a horse and was sent flying.
I looked around the inside of the formation, which had become a mess in an instant, and pulled up the corners of my mouth.
“You’re finally here.”
“These kids… …! What the hell is this noise!”
Two barbarian warriors.
It seems that they were drawn here by the commotion that occurred within the Order of the Sun while chasing it.
Of course, the first thing they saw were the barbarian warriors who were already watching me from a distance.
“You can’t even handle one guy!”
“You useless kids!”
The warriors mercilessly hurled curses and picked up their axes.
The way his muscles twitched definitely gave him a different, more intimidating vibe than the others.
I shrugged my shoulders, looking at the guys without paying any attention.
‘There were three great warriors leading them.’
But there were two people who came to this place.
Then that means there’s still one person fighting the Sun Knights.
“… … Well, I guess it’s okay to hand over one of them.”
“What?”
Pot-!
Crunch-!
It was a fleeting moment.
The head of the barbarian warrior was severed and flew into the sky, and the bodies of the warriors standing behind him were torn apart in all directions.
Bam! Degurururur!
“… … !”
A blood-red aura blazing above the turquoise blades. And the formations crumbled as if they were being crushed.
And only after a little while more, the barbarians were able to realize in their minds what had just happened.
“This, this… … .”
“Oh, that was it!”
“Eww! Run away! We’ll all die like this!”
Proud strength? The honor of being a Khan warrior?
Such things were of no use in the face of overwhelming nothingness and terror.
I ran my tongue over my lips as I looked around at the barbarian warriors who were starting to run away in panic.
“You are doing useless things.”
“Huh!”
Towering-
The fear that had begun to slowly eat away at the warriors’ minds suddenly took on a clear form and grabbed them by the ankles.
It was murderous.
The murderous intent that spread from my body made them harden like prey before a wild beast.
“What, what a monster… … .”
I laughed contentedly at the shock that came from all around.
Dozens and hundreds of troops. The bodies of those who stopped all at once were a spectacular sight in and of themselves.
So what finally came to them was rest.
“I’ll kill them all except one.”
……okay.
After that cold command passed, all that remained was a massacre in the name of rest.
* * *
The barbarians, who had lost their strongest force, the Great Warrior and their formation that had collapsed from within, were dealt with by the Sun Knights with absurd ease.
A pure white land stained with blood and a mountain filled with corpses.
And after that horrifying scene, I approached the last remaining one.
Snap-
“Cough!”
“Aside from you guys, is there a place nearby where troops are moving?”
“That, that is… … .”
The eyes of the warrior who had been grabbed by the collar shook greatly.
On the contrary, my eyes that faced him were coldly staring at him.
“Wouldn’t it be better not to hide it? Let’s go comfortably without bothering each other.”
“Will you spare me?”
“Depending on the situation.”
“… … .”
The guy looked around anxiously.
Looking at the corpses of his comrades already lying around, he could not help but know that he too would end up in the same situation.
Well then, maybe we can get some hope by giving some information.
“Father, there is a warrior’s fortress half a day’s drive to the north. That’s where we came from.”
“Hoo, how big is the force?”
“Oh, the number five hundred has passed away, so there must be less than a hundred left. That’s all I know!”
“I see.”
Phew-!
“Ugh, ugh… … .”
The guy fell over, feeling the metal lodged in his throat.
“… … Cool! Sa, I’ll save you… … and… … .”
“I thought you said you would spare me depending on the situation?”
“That, that’s a lie… … Ugh… … .”
Soon, blood began to gush out from his neck, and the creature lost its life and became a cold corpse.
I said this while looking at Roder, who was watching me from behind without blinking an eye.
“Send someone to the garrison.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. What should I convey to you?”
“From now on, we will go and clear out the remaining fortress. Tell them so.”
“……hmm.”
Roder answered with a small grunt.
“Occupation, then. Okay. Then I’ll prepare for it.”
A citadel located half a day’s journey north.
Perhaps the expeditionary force could take advantage of it.
