Episode 55. Storm
One by one, violent-looking mercenaries began to gather near Strange.
Their number seemed to be around five hundred, so if they launched a surprise attack while everyone was sleeping, they would never be able to stop them.
‘No matter how much they say they are Strange’s knights.’
“Entering.”
As soon as Moncle’s order was given, the soldiers rushed towards the entrance of the mansion.
They were fast, but their movements were so careful that their steps could not be heard.
Those with swords and axes approached in front, while those with bows and guns covered them from behind.
The mercenaries clearly looked nervous, but they did not think they would lose the battle.
No, even if you lose, if you stick with your life, you can get a share after the job is over.
Because he was carrying out the strategy of Marquis Pierre, who inherited the blood of the royal family.
“I will go first.”
Among the mercenaries, a man as big as a bear ran out holding an ax in both hands.
Doo doo doo doo.
As soon as his presence was felt, Strange’s guards drew their swords.
“Who are you?”
There was no conversation. Just answer with your body.
Boom!
The mercenary ax split the air.
However, Strange’s knight easily dodged the attack and then thrust his sword into the mercenary’s side.
Kwasik!
“Kaaak!”
Even though Strange was a weakling, he was never weak. Even if he had made a name for himself on the battlefield as a mercenary, it was extremely reckless to fight against elite knights alone.
Yes.
So the mercenaries began to attack in groups.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
“Kill!”
“Oh, if I just skip today, I can become rich!”
“Everyone, don’t be scared and just run. “They can’t cut us all down with a single sword!”
Hundreds of mercenaries barely attacked Strange’s five knights. The knights seemed to be fighting well against the first few people, but it was difficult to deal with all the people who came running in succession. Swords, spears, and axes came flying from all directions and slaughtered the sentries in an instant.
Kwasik!
“Let’s go inside the mansion like this. “Make sure to kill everyone you see, without exception!”
Monkle’s voice rang out.
They now began to carry out their missions without even hiding their identities, regardless of whether anyone saw them or not.
Anyway, history is recorded as the winner says. If today’s operation is successful, it will be known that Strange is evil and we are justice.
‘Whether it is an old man, a woman or a child! ‘It wouldn’t be a problem to kill everyone involved with them.’
“Uuuuuu!”
“Uuuuuu!”
The mercenaries shouted and charged.
Now that this has happened, it is too late to turn things back.
One way or another, Strange must be annihilated before the sun rises.
With this idea, Moncle’s subordinate troops entered the mansion.
“ah… “There is no radish.”
It was empty.
Even though I searched all the floors with my eyes, I couldn’t see any people.
Even animals such as dogs and cats raised as pets.
Monkle was embarrassed.
‘How on earth did this happen?’
He couldn’t understand the situation.
Could it be that the hunchback was lying? Or did our operation leak to Strange?
‘no.’
That can’t be possible.
If they had noticed our attack, they would have called for support right away.
‘and.’
Even if that were the case, now that things are like this, the soldiers of Verdin and Strange Mansion cannot leave Legion Castle.
He saw with his own eyes that they did not move until evening, and after that, the Bourbon Knights blocked all escape routes out of the castle.
“… “You have to find it.”
They are clearly in the castle.
And it wouldn’t have gone far.
By the time he realized his plan, he would have already run out of time to escape.
Monkle called the leaders of each unit and spoke.
“Let everyone disperse and search this area. If you happen to find the Strange guys, shoot a flare right away. “Never fight without me.”
-yes! Baron Monkle.
The leaders of the mercenaries led their units and scattered in all directions.
What was so urgent that they began to search for Strange by forcibly entering stores and houses that had nothing to do with them.
The intention was good, but the method was ignorant.
In this way, the operation to find Strange went differently from Monkle’s intentions.
“Damn it!”

Monkle was angry.
As time passed, his complexion became increasingly darker. He searched for a while, but he couldn’t even find footprints.
At that time, everyone under Monkl was giving their all.
“found!”
Someone fired a signal near the castle wall and raised their voice.
Pisshuuuuung- boom!
* * *
“Master, they have started moving.”
Deacon Devery spoke to me with a solemn expression. Behind him, fully armed knights looked at me in battle stance.
“How many enemies?”
“He looks like he’s about five hundred. “It’s not very accurate because it’s moving in the dark.”
There’s more than I thought.
“Has Baron Monkle’s location been determined?”
“Yes, troops are currently deployed around the square, and the leaders of each mercenary group are searching the area.”
“What about the Bourbon Knights?”
“We are waiting at the front and back gates of the castle. “They are not moving even after learning that we have vacated the mansion.”
Is that what happened?
Even if Monestier fails in his operation, Bourbon is moving carefully, creating the minimum possible path to escape this incident.
‘Coward.’
By the way, what number is Moncle hiding? Although the others didn’t notice, he and I were engaged in an invisible battle of numbers.
‘For sure.’
He knows that we have noticed movement on the Bourbon side. A fact that can be sufficiently inferred from Kangradra’s survival.
If so, they would have made sufficient preparations for this and then set up a plan.
‘no way.’
“How many Knights of Strange are here now?”
“A little under sixty. A day before you came down from the tower, five platoons had left to resolve an imperial request… .”
No matter how high the level of swordsmanship Strange’s knights have, they are insufficient to deal with the skilled mercenaries Oh Baek.
However, I can’t deal with all of them, including Baron Monkle.
‘furthermore.’
The bugs that Rox brought from the tower were going to be used to block the Bourbon Knights, so there was a shortage of hands.
“Rox, when you get the signal, tear down the wall.”
Rox nodded briefly and gestured to Bae Hu-ryeong.
The clown who was dancing comically above his head flew up high and started waving his hands loudly as if dancing towards the outside of the castle.
“Devery, let’s begin.”
Deacon Devery waved a flag with the Strage family emblem over his head.
A flag soared so high that the fluttering sound could be heard.
“found!”
The enemy mercenaries have discovered our location.
Pisshuuuuung- boom!
A flare was set off.
This signaled the start of the battle not only for the enemy but also for us.
At the same time as the mercenaries moved with shouts, they also started using their secret weapon.
“Rocks.”
“huh.”
Coo goong, coo goong, coo goong!
A roar echoed throughout the Legion.
The ground shook as if there had been an earthquake, and the cries of animals such as dogs and cats that sensed danger could be heard from all directions.
This is a wave so enormous that it cannot be compared to a simple earthquake.
“It’s a giant!”
The shadow of the beast giant that appeared outside crossed the castle wall and entered the interior.
Their appearance with their backs to the moonlight felt majestic, like looking at a mountain towering far away.
A gigantic creature that cannot be described with the word “big.”
The three beast giants that appeared outside the castle walls held hands together.
“Keuuuuu!”
He let out a strange roar-like cry and swung his fist.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The castle wall collapsed with a single blow.
A level of power that can never be surpassed by human power.
No, those who are called ‘apostles’ who are with God will not have that much power.
If we had to choose a monster of the same level, wouldn’t it have to be ‘Dragon’, which is said to be the strongest monster? Because it seems like that.
‘Perfect.’
The broken wall that fell down kicked up dust. The sky, which had been clear enough to see stars just a moment ago, was now covered in gray.
As the field of view was obscured to the point where it was difficult to distinguish one inch in front of the other, the knights belonging to Strange walked busily.
‘We are going out of the city.’
Because it is a battle that cannot be won internally in the first place.
“A disaster-level monster has invaded!”
The cries of the guards spread everywhere.
The residents were so frightened that they locked the doors of their houses and did not come out, and the adventurers who visited this place took up arms and monitored the movements of the imperial army to find out what was going on.
“What is that?”
And they faced an unexpected reality.
“thing… person?”
* * *
The appearance of ‘Titan’, a beast giant who is considered the most powerful among the giants who were called the masters of this continent in the distant past.
Its mere existence was enough to threaten everyone.
“You crazy, everyone run away!”
Not only the adventurers who visited the Legion, but also the imperial troops guarding the castle began to run away.
Doo doo doo doo.
Baron Monestier, who belatedly discovered the giant, drew his sword.
Sigh.
‘what? I couldn’t sense any sign of a monster at all.’
“Damn it! Why now-”
He gestured towards the mercenary leaders.
“I’ll take care of the giant, so don’t worry about it and just attack Strange!”
The mercenaries answered simultaneously.
“yes!”
“yes!”
Monestier jumped onto a nearby building, climbed up the wall, and rushed towards the giant.
“Get the hell out of here, I don’t have time to deal with you guys right now!”
In an instant, his sword burned red and gave off fierce flames.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I had never dealt with him in my previous life, so I had forgotten about him, but seeing his abilities in person like this made me remember.
Monestier’s second name, Emperor Yan.
I thought it meant his burning desire for high places, but it turned out that this name had the same name as his ability.
‘Sounds like fun.’
Pak.
Baron Monkle landed on the giant’s shoulder. He ran toward the giant’s neck without any hesitation.
Doo doo doo doo.
The spirit radiating from his burning eyes was enormous. You really have the skills to reach the realm of sword master. So much so that he can subdue his enemies with just his gaze.
‘but.’
“That guy’s sword can’t reach me.”
The moment when Baron Monkle’s sword blade approaches the giant’s neck.
Ka-ang!
A black blade blocked Monestier’s path.
“Verdin?”
Since we already knew that we were the right fit for each other, there was no need to explain this at length.
“Traitor to the family, Baron Monestier de Strange. “I will pay for your sins with death.”
