Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1283. Cutting off the lizard’s tail

Fabian exploded at the brazenness of the man beyond imagination.

“what? protect? Do you know what protection means?”

“Don’t know. It won’t hurt to listen. Until the end of the wave, I will protect you from monsters and give you something to eat. In return, the men have to do chores.”

For powerless adventurers, this is not a bad suggestion.

But could the mercenaries be so conscientious, detaining adventurers they meet for the first time and threatening to sell them as slaves if they don’t listen?

“Women?”

“What do you think you will do?”

The corner of Bleck, the vice-captain of the male Akerio Mercenary Corps, went up.

Among the forty-four mercenaries of the Akerio Mercenary Corps, there are only four Magical Musketeers.

How long would it take to subdue nine men without even wagons?

5 minutes is too long

As soon as the four magic guns spewed fire, I begged to be saved immediately.

It only takes four or five people to do the chores.

‘The wounded and corpses are used as bait for monsters…’

A mercenary member’s cry came into his ears as he was delusional.

“It’s an old ghoul! The ghouls are coming!”

At the man’s cry, the mercenaries surrounding Elio’s party quickly dispersed.

They are seasoned mercenaries, so they know what to do first.

The mercenaries built seven wagons around the circle and unmounted the horses to gather them to one side.

Four mercenaries with magic guns climbed onto the roof of the wagon and took their positions.

Naked giants one head taller than Tinelock approached slowly.

The five ghouls, who were walking with their arms hanging, hesitated when they saw the carriage.

However, the actions of the ghouls, who had been sniffing for a while, suddenly sped up.

The ghouls recklessly ran towards the wagon like hungry beasts.

Aaah!

The magic guns of the musketeers waiting on the roof of the carriage fired all at once.

Pupperpuppung-!

The impact of being hit directly by the magic bullets caused the upper bodies of the two ghouls to lean back.

However, the ghouls soon regained their balance.

The two wounded ghouls screamed and moved again.

Just in time, the sound of the magic gun was heard again.

Puffup! Pew-!

Was it because the fire was focused on the two ghouls unlike the first time?

Luckily, a magic bullet pierced the eye of one of the ghouls.

As the magic bullet pierced the eye and exited the back of the head, the ghoul slowly moved backwards.

The condition of the other ghoul was also not good.

The knee was shattered by the magic bullet, and the ghoul, who was limping on one leg, fell forward.

The fallen ghoul did not give up and continued to move forward using both hands and one foot.

The two ghouls were incapacitated, but the mercenaries’ faces were hardened.

In the meantime, the other three ghouls were close to the wagon.

The mercenaries inside the carriage pushed the ghouls away with their spears and shields.

The four musketeers jumped down from the roof of the wagon and ran to the center.

He joined the nine outsiders huddled in the center.

One of the musketeers shouted nervously at the outsiders.

“What are you doing! Is the sword decorative? It’s not over with three ghouls! More ghouls are coming! If the carriage breaks through, you die too!”

Then Fabian said mockingly.

“You say you protect us? I told men to do chores.”

“…”

The gunman, speechless, glared at the slender-looking young man with a stunned face.

“why? Did you say I didn’t exist? to protect hard. Oops! It’s about to break through there. What are you doing? Won’t you support me with a magic gun? The ghoul is so big, I can shoot it with my eyes closed.”

The gunman, who was grinding his teeth, immediately turned the muzzle of the magic gun to the direction the young man pointed.

Puff! pop! Pew-!

Four gunmen fired their magic guns in different directions.

In the middle of the battle, a ghoul broke a wagon and went inside.

The mercenaries rushed in and brandished spears at the ghouls.

“knee! Break the knee first!”

“Then the hands! cut! Cut it!”

The ghoul collapsed unable to withstand the mercenary’s concentrated attack.

The mercenaries rushed to the remaining one.

The ghoul pushing the wagon and entering was literally turned into a lump of meat.

The courageous mercenaries rushed out of the wagon and finished off even the wounded ghoul.

However, the joy of victory was short-lived, and the mercenaries hid themselves inside the wagon.

It was because dozens of ghouls were slowly but surely moving toward the carriage from afar.

Elio murmured as he watched the mercenaries dispose of the ghoul’s body.

“It’s quite good.”

The skills of the mercenaries were much better than the regular soldiers in the Hirhera Garrison.

Above all, mercenaries knew how to fight.

He intelligently broke his knee and attacked the ghoul step by step.

It is not that the mercenaries are not harmed.

While dealing with five ghouls, three were injured.

However, considering that there are only four magic guns, it is embarrassing to even call it damage.

It was surprising that forty-four mercenaries had such strong fighting power.

Fabian shook his head.

“Iknow, right. Are they stronger than Rufus Company?”

“Count a lot. You only have four magic guns, right?”

“Luck also played a part. It’s the first time I’ve seen a monster whose head was blown off by a magic gun.”

“I admit that. Still, that’s great.”

If there are three sword experts and ten sword beginners, it is equivalent to three companies in the regular army.

In the Abyss, where strength precedes the law, he deserved to act as a careless person.

“You’re not going to kill them all, are you?”

“it’s crazy? I am not such an inconsiderate person.”

“What are you going to do?”

“You have to give me a chance to live honestly.”

“Are you wearing clothes? That’s not a word for a mercenary.”

“What did that guy say earlier? no rejection? I will tell you the same thing.”

As the two were discussing the matter of dealing with the mercenaries, one of the musketeers who had gone back to the roof of the carriage shouted.

“It’s a ghoul! Ghouls are coming!”

Then Urea, the leader of the Akerio Mercenary Corps, growled at the gunman.

“Lower your voice!”

At those words, the gunman turned his head away with a prickly face.

Because shouting in front of a ghoul with developed five senses is an act of suicide.

Is it because of the irritating human cry?

The ghouls, who had been lounging around, began to gradually speed up their movements.

Soon after, the magic guns of the gunmen spewed fire.

Pupperpuppung-!

Excited by the sound of the magic gun, the ghouls screamed and ran.

The musketeers focused their fire on the ghouls at the forefront.

The luck of penetrating the eyes of a monster never came again.

Still, the ghoul’s movements slowed significantly.

But at least it’s one in a dozen.

The other ghouls that were running at a gallop crashed into the carriage surrounded by a fence.

thud! Quaang-!

The carriages moved with the sound of something breaking.

Fabian looked around and said.

“Will it break through this time?”

“I guess.”

Don’t you know if it’s a magic beast?

Blocking monsters with a wagon is impossible even for tactical geniuses like Luna and Mylus.

“But I won’t be annihilated. Aren’t there more strong people than you thought?”

“That’s right, if there are three sword experts and ten sword beginners, it’s worth it.”

Elio nodded.

That is why he only watches.

It was clear that it would be the mercenaries who would survive to the end despite the hardships.

Although the ghoul came over the wagon, Urea, the leader of the Akerio Mercenary Corps, did not despair.

The number of ghouls that crossed the wagon was eight.

The fighting power of Akerio’s mercenaries wasn’t enough to handle.

Forty-four are not all. They have nine more people….

‘Huh? Why are they sucking their fingers over there?’

They were wandering without supplies, but they must have been adventurers or mercenaries.

But the blood-drying fight between the ghouls and the mercenary corps is being conducted across the river as if it were blasphemous?

If Akerio’s mercenaries die, they’ll die too, but they don’t seem to think about that.

‘Tsk tsk! I should have recognized it when I was traveling without a carriage. Things full of shit on their heads.’

Urea, who had promised to defeat the ghouls that it would be their turn next, hesitated.

Something shimmered between the broken wagons.

‘Are there more ghouls left?’

He passed the ghoul he was dealing with to the other mercenaries and jumped onto the wagon.

‘Damn it!’

Even when the carriage was pierced, Urea’s relaxed face distorted.

Ten ghouls were walking, and the skin of half of them, five, was red, as if covered in blood.

It was clearly an elder ghoul, a mid-level monster.

While normal ghouls are low level monsters, elder ghouls are intermediate level monsters.

The addition of ten ghouls was not a great danger.

But the five elder ghouls are different.

Under the current situation, five elder ghouls could have annihilated the Akerio mercenaries.

‘It’s a mess.’

From mid-level monsters, it is difficult to deal with unless you are a sword expert.

While the three sword experts are hounded by the three elder ghouls, it is certain that the remaining two elder ghouls will slaughter the mercenaries.

Urea hurriedly turned her head back and looked at the situation.

The fight between the mercenaries and the ghouls showed no signs of ending.

‘I’m going to die like this.’

Urea’s gaze, which was quickly rolling her eyes, turned to the center.

The idiots wandering around without a carriage caught my eye.

‘I will leave this place as a sacrifice.’

Quickly organizing her thoughts, Urea ran towards vice-captain Bleck.

“Bleck!”

“yes!”

“Five elder ghouls are coming. I have to use those idiots to get out.”

“Now?”

“Yes now. If the elder ghoul gets inside, there won’t be any time to escape.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I subdue those dicks, throw them to the ghouls, and leave. When the ghoul leaves with a full stomach, let’s come back.”

“All right.”

Urrea and Bleck led the five mercenaries who were not caught up in the fight with the ghouls and headed to the center.

Seeing the mercenaries approaching with vicious eyes, Fabian asked Elio.

“Why are you doing that instead of fighting?”

“We will give us to the ghouls and run away.”

“Huh! Bells. It’s really varied. I hate humans, I hate humans.”

As Fabian cursed, Luna Mylus spoke calmly.

“I’m not even going to curse. Rather, it should be seen that the mercenary leader’s ability to deal with crises is excellent. Like a lizard, it cuts off its tail and runs away.”

“Is that so?”

Fabian scratched his head with a puzzled face.

Seeing her objectively like that makes me think that she is indeed a saint.

Commander Urea and vice-captain Bleck, who ran like the wind, attacked Elio and the others without hesitation.

If Elio hadn’t told them in advance, Fabian and Baron Howard Solon’s Crea would have been subdued in an instant.

Crea, Baron Fabian Howard Solon, quickly ducked behind Count Elio Lagoa.

At the same time, Elio and Count Omar of Larva sprang forward.

Elio subdued the captain and vice-captain at once.

Five mercenaries were knocked out by the punches of Count Omar of Larva.

At the unexpected result, the captain and vice-captain blinked their eyes in dismay.

They overpowered the idiots and threw them to the ghouls and tried to avoid this spot, but instead, they ended up becoming food for the ghouls?
