Night of the Soulless Heathens – 453

‘These guys the messenger clan are secretly ignoring us but they’re actually ignoring us?’

‘Anyway I can see other people’s faults easily but I can’t see my own….’

‘These guys are scary when they get angry what should I do?’

The Chitai nomads were well aware of the immense military power of each individual northern Aragasa.

They are no match for us unless we all rush in and fight determinedly.

So even in this situation the leader of the Cheetah Army expressed his opinion as logically as possible.

“There is a high possibility that there will be an ambush in the forest. We will also capture the king. If you succeed in assassinating the enemy king the enemy will be confused and you will be able to break through sufficiently. Otherwise is assassinating the king a bluff?”

“How about we attack the castle now that the enemy forces have come out? If your assassins can climb over the walls and kill the officers hiding inside I think we have a good chance of winning.”

“The story is going to be a mess. No matter how many officers you kill it won’t be easy to take the castle down and if King Azadin sets up a forward base on the retreat route and solidifies his position it will be difficult to return. Now while the base is still weak is the time to kill the king.”

“Then we will attack the forward base. Wouldn’t it be better for you to hide among us and assassinate the king? We don’t like moving through the forest on horseback. The enemy is the only one who has the advantage of reconnaissance magic so there’s no way they wouldn’t notice us moving through the forest. Your intention is to attack us moving through the forest and then assassinate the king while you’re at an opening. It seems like you’re thinking of using us as bait.”

“Yes. You should be the bait. Isn’t that the surest way to kill King Azadin?”

“You want to use us as bait and take all the credit for yourselves?”

“Don’t even think about your merits. You guys are really shallow.”

“what?”

“Ah okay. You and I are both people of the grasslands. Should we compete in archery like nomads?”

“….”

The Chitai nomads kept their mouths shut. They were nomads themselves so they were confident in archery and whenever they had disputes among themselves they would often settle them with archery bets.

However it would be foolish to bet on archery with Aragasa.

You are inferior to us. It’s no different from saying that to their face.

“Are you guys that great!?”

The Chitai nomads unable to tolerate it rose up.

*********

The Chitai nomads and the Northern Aragasa fought each other in archery and wrestling and of course the Northern Aragasa won.

However the Chitai nomads did not recognize the match so the match was ultimately decided through a gamble called a fight.

Cheetah’s argument was accepted and they decided to storm the Azadin Army’s forward base and take down the king.

“Damn it. Are you crazy Centurion? Why are you gambling…”

“No those cheetahs are so rough.”

“When you won archery and wrestling you should have just pushed on!”

“No I told you that it was a good thing that they brought up the fight after that. They admitted that they were no match for us in martial arts and changed the match to gambling.”

“And I got completely stripped of my clothes. Anyway if it’s gambling I’m a man who would strip down to my underwear. I’d even sell my wife.”

“There’s nothing we can do about what’s already happened. We just have to hope that the Chitai nomads’ skills are a bit better.”

The Chitai nomads took advantage of their brisk pace and launched a surprise attack on the Azadin forces who had not yet completed their forward base.

however….

A tall man with black hair took the lead. In his hand he held a black horn bow much larger than the moon horn bow and on the bowstring hung something like a spear with a golden sword tied to a strange wooden bow.

King Azadin himself stepped forward.

He transformed Grimthrown’s club into an arrow shaft woven the Knights Templar’s ceramite sword into it and shot it into the sky.

The giant spear rose briskly into the sky and exploded releasing a golden halo in the sky.

Golden sparks rained down upon the Chitai light cavalry.

“Ugh?!”

“Heeeeeeling!”

The hot molten metal dripped down and burned the horse.

The cavalrymen in armor and helmets suffered few hits but the unarmored Cheetah horses fell over in shock from the burning pain of their skin.

Starting with that arrow attack the Celestial Fire Knights on the left wing of the forward base charged forward.

“Cast a revitalizing spell on the horse!”

“yes!”

The Celestial Fire Knights consisting entirely of Celestial Knights cast a revitalizing spell on their well-rested horses and galloped passing through the right wing of the Chitai army at a terrifying speed despite being heavy cavalry.

“The Celestials have counted the number of soldiers.”

The Northern Aragatha troops disguised as Chitai nomads were also mixed in with the right column but they too were swept away without being able to put up a good fight against the Celestial Fire’s charge.

But the Celestial Fire Knights just passed through them striking them and piercing through them.

Perhaps they were trying to continue the charge by using their kinetic energy… In the meantime the Cheetah cavalry charged forward firing arrows and approached King Azadin.

“Knights! Sword!”

With the shout of Jebeck the greatsword knights wielding greatswords stepped forward.

They are well-armed knights all wearing plate armor but there are not many of them.

“glare!”

They all cast a flash spell at the same time causing their swords to glow.

As the dazzling light blinded the horses those who were running fell over again tangled together.

And King Azadin himself shot arrows from the battle line.

The iron spear fired from the Black Horn Bow flies and instantly tears apart the vanguard of the nomad cavalry.

Azadin appropriately targeted the enemy’s vanguard and tore them apart slowing their charge.

The Chitai light cavalry also fired arrows but the knights of Xibek standing next to Azadin blocked the arrows and held their ground.

Meanwhile the Celestial Fire Knights who had broken through to their right flank reversed course and attacked from the rear.

“I wondered why he suddenly seized the throne by himself but he really is a man.”

The northern Aragats were amazed at how Azadin fought.

Azadin’s forces suffered almost no casualties with only the Chitai light cavalry sustaining casualties.

“That guy is really strong. Hey. Didn’t you say he’s been sick and trembling lately?”

“Would you be king for nothing?”

“Anyway if we don’t move now all the cheetahs will die! Let’s get started!”

The northern Aragatsas simultaneously fired their bows at Azadin.

Ten men simultaneously fired two arrows at Azadin. Azadin’s escorting knights blocked the arrows with their armor and shields knocking away eight arrows but four arrows still flew at Azadin.

Azadin swung his Black Horn Bow knocking away the arrows and retreating.

But during that gap the northern Aragasa agents infiltrated like spiders and surrounded Azadin.

“Is this the Northern Aragasa?”

“Yes King Azadin! Take his life!”

The centurion of the northern Aragatsah spoke thus and stood before Azadin.

Even as he spoke other Aragasa members continued to fire arrows at Azadin.

“What a pity. You are too skilled to serve a petty person like the Northern Emperor. Don’t you have any intention of changing your master?”

Azadin ran to avoid the arrows and asked the centurion.

“I would rather serve the Northern Emperor than serve a young one like you.”

The northern Aragats continued to shoot arrows and made Azadin run.

They also thought that they would not be able to subdue Azadin a messenger clan with arrows alone from a distance.

So I shot an arrow with a suitable bow or magic to force Azadin to dodge in that direction and make him stay away from his men.

“Your Majesty! You don’t have to deal with assassins!”

Jibek and the paladins tried to escort Azadin but the arrows of the northern Aragatha were too strong and accurate for them to run after Azadin.

“The overall strategy was excellent but we only needed to cut off your head! We overlooked that! Herald Clan!”

The centurion of the Northern Aragatha thinking that he had sufficiently separated Azadin from his men rushed at him himself.

Defeating King Azadin is the greatest feat and there is no reason to pass it on to other subordinates.

But the moment he approached a cold chill suddenly stabbed his spine.

Something is strange.

Azadin ran like this without losing his breath.

‘I heard a rumor that you were sick and were trembling?’

The centurion who was charging forward quickly unleashed the Flower-Bird-Pung-Wol Earth Spider and dashed to the side at the same speed he was charging at Azadin.

-Ugh!

Instead the adjutant’s jaw fell off.

Azadin rushed into the arms of the northern Aragasa who was rushing at him and struck the adjutant’s jaw with a long blow dislocating his jaw joint in one stroke.

“Huh!”

“Eight! He’s empty-handed!”

Aragatha wielding twin swords rushed forward and attacked Azadin but Azadin caught the head of the axe in his hand and blocked the sword with it then curled his other hand into a dragon’s claw.

At that moment….

-puck!

Aragasa trooper was thrown back after being hit by a club flying from behind.

“Ugh!”

It was a powerful blow that shook the insides.

Grimslow’s club had returned to Azadin.

And that’s not all.

Golden shards rained down from Grimslow’s club.

The Salvation Knights’ ceramite longsword Aurelia Dawn merged into one sword with a dazzling light.

“Magic weapon…..”

“I think you guys are using Kazas as well but I’m sorry I’m much more senior in that area. Wouldn’t it be a disadvantage for you to use techniques that I’m familiar with?”

“Don’t make me laugh! Then aren’t you the same?”

“Yeah! Using the techniques we both know….”

“The problem is that even if it’s the same technology the level of proficiency is different.”

After saying those words Azadin began to move in earnest.

Azadin who had disappeared from sight with frightening speed appeared in front of other Aragasa agents in an instant.

He swung his sword in confusion but Azadin accelerated once more circled behind him and struck him in the back of the side with the tip of the sword hilt.

Agent Aragasa fell forward from the tremendous shock to his kidney curled into a fetal position and bandaged his wound.

“….”

Everyone was astonished at the sight.

Azadin’s movements which involved using the Flower Bird and Moon Jinseo and the Kazas Sea Scrolls in succession could be better understood by the Aragasas who also used the Kazas Sea Scrolls.

It’s a skill level far superior to theirs.

No rather his skills are more mature than those of anyone I’ve seen so far and his magical power is also incredible.

‘Come to think of it doesn’t this guy have the Shinwangjinseo too?’

“No wait! Don’t be scared! This is…..”

No matter how great Azadin’s skills are the situation is now one where many are rushing to assassinate one person.

There’s no way we can’t win!

however….

Azadin defeated the rushing Aragasa agents one by one.

And what’s more surprising is….

‘You’re not going to kill me?’

Everyone was shocked to see Azadin dealing with the Aragasas with non-lethal attacks.

Even though Azadin’s skills are superior he still shows the leeway to make non-lethal attacks.

Then Azadin asked a question.

“But whose idea was it to throw acid bottles at the Count’s family and cause them suffering?”
