The excitement of the horses came from their feet.

Even a trained military horse—no, because it's a military horse, you can feel like you're about to die.

The opponent, although there were only five people, surrounded the entire village greatly, so that the distance between each person was large. But what method should be used to make this enclosed net leak.

Tatsuhaku had already used the observation magic and began to watch the situation on the field.

In other words, if you set up a trap nearby, you will be hit by a deadly attack if you step on it.

Despite this judgment, Evan decided to force a breakthrough. No, in terms of the status quo, this is the only way.

There is no chance of winning long-range battles.

If you have an archer around you who is good at attacking from a distance, don't do it, and if you don't, avoid long-range combat with the Magic Bard.

Defensive warfare is even more foolish.

If it's a stone house or a fortified city, it's unsettling to use a wooden house to resist magic. If you don't get it right, you might burn along with the whole house.

In the end, there is only one way to do it.

It is to turn the village into a battlefield, and to involve Lord Miu in the battle, and force him to participate in the war.

However, if you take this approach, you will lose the meaning of coming to this village completely. That's why Evan took the risk:

"After attacking the enemy, immediately lure the opponent's encirclement network over. Immediately retreat and don't miss your chance."

Listening to the imposing responses of his subordinates in the rear, Evan frowned.

How many of them will survive?

They are not more potential than humans, they don't have natural superpowers, they are just a bunch of people who work hard under Gurdjieff's training. It's a shame to lose these brains.

Even though they knew that Evan was using foolish methods, the group of subordinates still willingly followed. Gerdjieff, who wanted to apologize to these subordinates who were involved in him, looked back and saw the expressions of his subordinates, and immediately swallowed back what he wanted to say.

In front of him was the expression of a warrior, a fearless expression that was about to go to the soup and fire, and he was still unrelenting.

This kind of decision to follow his subordinates, knowing the danger, does not need any words of apology. One by one, the subordinates opened their mouths and said to Gerjief, who felt ashamed:

"Please don't care, Commander Warrior!"

"Yes, we came here of our own free will, sworn to fight alongside the Warrior Commander!"

"Please let us protect our country, our people, and our companions!"

There is nothing else to say.

Warrior Captain Evan shouted forward:

"Let's go! Tear your enemies to pieces!"

"Oh oh

Riding his horse forward, his men following behind Gurdjieff. The fast horse, galloping with all its might, drew a trail on the grass like a bow and arrow.

Evan rode on his horse and drew his bow and arrows.

Even though he kept shaking, he still calmly drew his bow and shot arrows. The arrow hit the target impartially, and the arrow pierced the head of a magic chant in front of him - it seemed so.

"Boom! It's useless. Magic arrows may be able to pierce through, but ...... What you don't have is nothing, and it's useless to complain here."

It was like a shot in a hard helmet, and the arrow was ricocheted off. That kind of hardness that is beyond the norm is really some kind of magic effect. As far as Gurdjieff knew, in order to pierce magic with the effect of a defensive shooting weapon, it was necessary to use a weapon that applied magic.

However, Aiwen, who did not have that kind of weapon, immediately gave up shooting and put away the bow and arrow in his hand.

The chant of magic also began to fight back, using their magic.

Warrior Commander Ewen concentrated and concentrated on putting on a frame to resist.

At this time, the war horse under the crotch neighed loudly, raised its front feet high, and kicked its hooves in the air.

"Drink! Drink! Drink!"

Gripping the reins tightly, leaning forward to hug the horse's neck, relying on his quick reaction in the face of danger, it was only Ai Wen's quick reaction that saved Aven from falling off the horse. Although this sudden situation made me break out in a cold sweat, I finally suppressed my anxious emotions. There's something more important at hand.

Agitated and distraught, Evan whipped the horse's flank hard, but the horse did not move, as if there was a more important master than the person sitting on his back.

There is only one reason for such an anomaly.

That's the magic of mind manipulation.

The horse was cast that kind of magic. If you cast a spell on Aven, you may be resisted, but if you are a non-Warcraft horse, you don't have to worry about resistance.

Not predicting this natural attack made Evan angry at his mistake and flew off his horse!

The men who followed Gurdjieff avoided Aven. Running past him on either side.

"Battleground!"

The men at the back of the line slowed down and reached out to pull Aven onto his horse. However, the angels that swooped down from the air and approached were faster. Evan drew his sword and swung it at the angel.

The sword flashed quickly.

The sword light of the strongest man in the neighboring country really carried an astonishing momentum that was enough to slash two in one sword. However, although the angel's body was badly damaged, it was not to die.

The blood spurted out of the air turned into angelic magic and vanished.

"No, I don't! Directly reverse and assault!"

After giving orders to his subordinates, Ewen glared at the angel who had escaped with a sharp gaze. Although the other party was seriously injured, he was still full of fighting spirit to find Aiwen's flaws.

"I see."

When you swing your sword and hit it, you feel a strange touch.

That's when Evan realized why. Some monsters have special abilities that greatly reduce damage as long as they are not hit by weapons of a non-specific material. The angel has this ability, so he didn't fall even after receiving a strong blow from Aven.

As a result, Ewen decided to gather strength from his body and unleash the martial arts skill "Concentrated Battle Qi", and the sword body shimmered.

Seeing this moment, the angel swung the sword of the Red Flame. But—

"—too late."

In the eyes of Aivan, the strongest warrior in the surrounding countries, the angel's movements were too slow.

Aven's sword moved.

More powerful than the move just now, Aven's sword easily severed the angel's body.

The angel whose main body was destroyed disappeared into the air as if it had melted. The shiny wings scatter and disappear in an instant, and the dreamlike scene is fascinating.

If it weren't for this desperate situation full of blood. Evan must have spoken out in admiration. But nowadays, that kind of leisure is no longer there.

Warrior Captain Evan looked around and made sure of the enemy attack that was coming—a small smile on his face.

The retinue of angels also increased.

Evan knew very well that this was no ordinary reinforcement.

「．．． Can you do anything with magic? Damn."

Scolding these magic chanters who could easily do things that a warrior would never do, Evan calmly counted the number of people and confirmed that these were all the people surrounding the village.

In this way, the siege of the village was lifted.

"Then Lord Miu, I'm sorry for you......

Evan felt infinite joy at being able to save the lives of the surviving villagers, and did not dare to glare at the enemy in front of him carelessly

The sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder in Aven's ears. That's the men who turned around and sprinted.

"I said I'd retreat if the siege was lifted...... What a bunch of idiots...... Proud guys."

Evan ran with all his might.

I'm afraid this moment is the only best time in this battle. Judging from the speed of the cavalry, in order to prevent our rendezvous, the opponent's magic should be able to deal with his subordinates with all his might. Seize this opportunity to spark a scuffle. This is the only way.

His horses neighed, and like Aven, their feet were raised high, and several people groaned as they fell off their horses. The angel took the opportunity to attack.

Although the strength of the subordinates and the angel is the same, the subordinates are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the presence or absence of basic abilities and special abilities. As expected, the subordinates were cornered by about half of the angels. Of course, the magic attack of the magic chand is the main reason for such a disparity in the battle.

The subordinates fell to the ground one after another.

Ivan couldn't bear to see what he knew, and galloped forward.

The target is the commander of the enemy.

Although they knew that even if they killed the enemy commander, the other party would not retreat, but this was the only way for everyone to survive.

More than thirty angels stood in the way of the assaulting Aven. Seeing that the other party was on guard, Evan was not happy at all.

"——, in the way"

Gurdjieff unleashes a hidden move.

The heat emanating from the hands spreads throughout the body.

Evan made his speed and strength skyrocket, and not only that, but he also unleashed a variety of martial arts skills at the same time - this can be said to be the magic of a warrior.

Evan glared at the six angels flying around.

"Six Lights in a Row."

A flashing speed martial arts skill.

One move hits six angels.

The six angels around him were cut in two, and they became balls of light and dissipated.

The reinforcements of the Kingdom of Shatheloh let out an exclamation, and the soldiers of the chief soldier cheered loudly.

Although the trick is used to make the hand cramp, this degree is not enough to reduce muscle strength.

As if receiving an order to overshadow the applause, a large number of angels attacked again. One of them dusted off the Red Flame Sword at Aven.

"Instant reflection."

At the same time as the angel swung his sword, the warrior leader Ai Wen immediately launched his martial arts skills, and his body flashed away like a mist in an instant.

Before the angel was slashed, he had already been hit by Aven's sword move. One move turns the angel into a ball of light.

Captain Aven's attack didn't end there.

"Flowing water accelerates."

With a smooth movement, solve the attacking angels one by one.

Use a special move to continue to defeat the two angels. Such a miraculous situation gave the stubbornly resisting warriors a glimmer of hope for victory.

But the kingdom would not allow such a thing to happen, and the mocking voice would dismiss the warrior's hope.

"It's wonderful. But...... That's it. The enemy who has lost the angel summons a new angel once again and casts his magic on Stronov with all his might."

The emotions boiling with blood instantly cooled.

"It's not good."

Whispering a whisper, the warrior captain Aven casually tackled an angel. It seems that even if Gurdjieff continues to defeat the angels, there will be no more cheering, and his subordinates are all anxiously waving their swords to meet the enemy.

Whether it is in numbers, in terms of armament, degree of training, or individual ability.

The soldiers who were almost all at a disadvantage had long troops, and the only weapon - the hope of victory was also gone.

Reflexively dodging the incoming weapon, Evan fought back. While it is true that a single sword can destroy the angels, the main enemy is still far away.

Although he expects his subordinates to do something, he must use magic weapons to break through the angel's defenses. Without the martial arts skill "Concentration of Battle Qi" like the warrior leader Aven, and the subordinates of magic weapons, it is difficult to inflict fatal injuries even if they can injure angels.

Helpless.

The warrior captain Evan bit his lip and could only keep swinging his sword.

Several one-hit kills have been shown in a row, and the continuous use record of the special move "Six Lights Slash" has also been updated.

Xiang Garris. For a warrior like Aiwen, there are six martial arts skills that can be used at the same time, and now with the hidden killing move, seven martial arts skills can be launched at the same time.

Currently, there are five types of martial arts skills that are activated: physical enhancement, mental enhancement, magic resistance enhancement, temporary magic weaponization, and martial arts skills used during attacks.

There are no seven types of activations because powerful martial arts skills consume a lot of concentration.

In particular, the "Six Lights Slash" requires three times the concentration force.

Even the warrior leader Aven only has two such powerful tricks - a martial arts skill that requires full concentration and four times the concentration.

If you can use these martial arts skills, you can easily defeat the angels. But even if the angel is defeated, it will continue to summon. As long as the summoner is not defeated, the angel who is summoned again will be faced. Waiting for the opponent's mana to run out is also a method, but I'm afraid that before that, the warrior leader Evan will be exhausted first!

In fact, Aven's sword-wielding hand was getting heavier and heavier: his heartbeat was disrupted.

"Instant Reflex" is a martial arts skill that can force an unbalanced posture back to before the attack after an attack. Although it can be attacked again immediately, it will put a lot of burden on the body that is forced to change posture.

"Flowing Water Acceleration" is a martial art skill that temporarily accelerates nerves and increases attack speed. But a lot of fatigue accumulates in the brain.

In addition, use the special move "Six Lights Consecutive Slash".

It's really a big burden on the body, but if you don't use it, there's no way out.

"Whatever you have, come on! Your angels are no big deal!"

The roar of imposing anger stunned the troops of the Kingdom of Slen for a moment, but then regained their composure and counterattacked:

"Don't worry, it's just the roar of a caged beast. Don't worry, it's going to drain his stamina bit by bit, but definitely not too close. The claws of the beast are very long.

Evan glared at the man with the scars on his face.

Defeat that commander and turn the tide in no time. The problem is the angel who is on the side, different from the Red Flame Sword Angel. There are also long distances that cannot be reached, as well as layers of protective defense nets.

It's just too far away.

"The beast wants to break through. Let him know what the impossible is."

The man's calm voice made Evan anxious.

Even if he stepped into the hero realm, Ai Wen, who only cultivated and strengthened hand-to-hand combat martial arts, had almost no chance of winning.

But - so what. If there is only this way, we can only make every effort to break through.

A sharp-eyed Evan began to sprint.

But, as he knew, it was a difficult path.

The angels stabbed out and slashed the flaming red flame sword in their hands one after another, dodging and counterattacking at the same time, and Aivan, who had eliminated the angels one after another, suddenly felt a sharp pain. It was the pain of a strong blow to the abdomen.

Looking in that direction, I saw a group of magic chanters using some kind of magic.

"Since you're a magician, you should look like a priest, so at least use healing magic."

As if to erase Aven's sarcasm, an invisible shockwave hit the body of the warrior leader Aven.

Even if it is an invisible attack, as long as there are not many of them, Evan is still confident that he can dodge it based on clues such as his appearance and eyes. But in the face of more than thirty attacks, there is nothing to be done, and just protecting the hand and head holding the sword has exhausted all his strength.

The pain was almost overwhelming all over the body, and the pain was so numerous that I don't know where it came from.

"Woo!"

His throat couldn't resist the smell of iron, and Evan spat out a mouthful of blood. Sticky blood flowed out and stained the jaw.

Avan stumbled after being hit by the invisible shockwave, and was swung with the Red Flame Sword by the angel head-on.

The sword move that couldn't be dodged hit the armor, but fortunately the sword was bounced off, but the impact still penetrated the armor and penetrated deep into the body.

In a panic, he swung his sword at the angel, but the unbalanced attack was easily dodged by the angel.

The panting warrior captain Aven was trembling even with his sword-wielding hand.

The intense fatigue that filled the whole body, as if whispering in his ear, hurry up and lie down to rest.

"It's the final stage of the hunt. Don't let the beast rest, command the angels to attack in turn."

Even if he wanted to take a breath, the angels who surrounded him at the orders of the commander attacked one by one without mercy.

Even if you dodge a blow from the back, swing your sword to block the thrust next to you. and resist it with the strong part of the armor

Angel assault flying from above.

Although Dai Aiwen wanted to fight back, the enemy attacked several times more than his own.

With the accumulated fatigue and the decline in strength, at most he can only solve one opponent in one move, and there is almost no strength left to use martial arts, and his subordinates fall to the ground one after another, and the enemy's attacks are completely concentrated on themselves. Unable to break through the enemy's encirclement, he felt that death was getting closer and closer to him.

A little careless, my knees were weak and I almost fell, so I quickly lifted my spirit and fought again.

The magic blast that struck again hit Evan who was struggling to support himself.

The scene in front of me shook dramatically.

Bad!

With all the strength of his body, Aven tried to keep his balance. But something seems to have gone wrong with the body, and the strength that should hold the body is gone.

The tingling sensation of touching the grass suddenly came, indicating that Aven's body had fallen to the ground.

Although I tried to get up, I couldn't help myself. At this time, the swords of the angels that swarmed represent "death"

"Give him the fatal blow, but don't do it alone, let all the angels indeed send him back to heaven."

It's dead.

His trained hands were shaky and he couldn't lift his clenched sword, but even then he couldn't give up.

The clenched teeth made a screeching sound.

The warrior commander is not afraid of death. He has taken countless lives, so he has been mentally prepared that he will encounter the same fate on the battlefield.

As he said to Chenbai, he was resented by others. Resentment will turn into a sword, and one day it will be stabbed on one's body.

But I couldn't accept this result.

Raid several villages and kill innocent villagers who are incapable of fighting, just to get Evan into a trap. You will never allow yourself to die at the hands of such shameless people, and you will not be able to endure your own powerlessness.

"Quack, a Don't underestimate me——!

Squeeze out the strength of your whole body and shout loudly.

Bloody saliva flowed from his mouth, and Evan slowly stood up.

Chenbai, who was observing all this, was also infected by Aivan's emotions.

……

Sensing that the man who should be powerless to stand up approached majestically, the angels couldn't help but retreat one after another.

"Whew———! Hoo ——!"

Just standing up made it difficult for him to breathe, he was confused, and his whole body seemed to be covered with heavy earth. But you must not lie down, just lie down and everything is over.

It is not because of these pains that one can feel the pain of the dead villagers.

"I'm the Captain of the Sekob City! It's the people who love this country and protect it! How can you lose to you scum who has defiled this country?"

That lord will protect the villagers.

Then what you should do is to defeat as many enemies as possible, so that the people will not suffer the same misfortune again.

Protect the people of the Kingdom to come. He just wanted to do it.

「…… Because you're only going to say this kind of dream talk, and you're going to die here now. Garris. Aven."

Evan glared at the enemy commander, and a sneering remark came from his ears.

"If you left these border villagers behind, you wouldn't end up like this. You can't be unaware that your life is more precious than the lives of thousands of villagers. If you really love the country, you should throw away the lives of the villagers."

"Me and you...... There is no intersection...... Let's see what happens!"

"What else can you do with that body? Stop struggling and lie down. I will have mercy on you and let you die without pain."

"If you think it...... I've done nothing, so come here...... How about removing my head? What do I look like...... It should be easy, right?"

「…… Hmph, it's just a mouthful. It seems that you still want to fight again, do you have a chance of winning?"

Warrior Captain Evan just stared ahead, his trembling hand gripping his sword. He dimly looked at the enemy in front of him, not at the angels around him.

「．．． It's still in vain. It's stupid. Once we've killed you, it's the surviving villagers' turn. What you have done is only to prolong the time for them to tremble."

"Hmph, hum...... Hmph......"

Evan smiled back.

「… What's so funny?"

「…… Hmph, that's stupid. In this village...... There are people who are stronger than me. He is unfathomable, and one person can solve you all...... Want to kill him...... It's impossible to protect the villagers......

「…… More powerful than the strongest warrior in the surrounding kingdoms? Do you find this bluff useful? It's stupid."

A smile appeared on Aven's face. What kind of expression does Negan have when he meets the man Miu? This is probably the best gift for yourself who has traveled to that world.

「…… Angels, Garris. Aven."

With this cold command, countless wings began to flutter.

Evan was about to run forward with a determination to die, when a voice came from beside him.

- It's time for a replacement!
