Chapter 140: Arrows colliding (2)
sLHgzkThe Gaidar Cavalry is so well-known in the West that they are called the outlaws of nature.kKsX8n5
PM4Even knights found it difficult to deal with them, and they were well-versed in pressing their opponents thanks to their unique agility.tDcWOq
EQv40At that distance and speed that I can reach but you cannot.XcM
HcA7With such advantages, the Gaidar cavalry was expert at destroying their opponents, but not to the extent they do now.vtPom
JPL“Everyone scatter! Escape!”u61B2D
OgxCThe cavalry soldiers clearly showed their dismay at the commander’s orders.IRalLVO
6CdThey were still unable to accept the reality that they had become the hunted, not the hunters.Dyl2gaB
BBdPFrom bad to worse.w81DK
9Q3Now, behind the outlaws, a beast faster, fiercer, and hungrier smiled ferociously.kByy3

p5dQuaaaaang!Gbs0ND
1c0Blood ran red behind the enormous sound of impact.M0lbr
oRhiPBehind the place where the beam of white light had passed, a thick mist of blood was already spreading.CC5
5x7RCL‘…!’MSgT
oevdRKCavalry commander Wagner looked at the group members who had passed by the light.7DCEDq3
Pt7baFortunately, he was still running.9egq
jaNLpLiEven though his head had been blown off.L4l
cbQ8rcUnderneath the writhing decapitated corpse, the West horse whinnied in fear.Vtqs
g2ZUgGj‘What the hell is this!’5GXOA
QSbCurses similar to screams from the order members, who had finally realized the situation, spread.AibU
LMDolx7But the aurora borealis, which had just pierced through the cavalry, didn’t give them time.yRI
9tyRgYU“Enemy! It’s changing again!”PWnx
kSHuQm7It’s returning to the exact center.wwjkN
miD4And this time, it’s running from behind and to the right.IxiMl0X
hA7Gaidar’s cavalry felt fear for the first time in a long time as they watched Vlad killing them all.kaon
KkQw“…Knight! Knights, gather!”uP9
GAQWagner quickly rallied his knights and prepared for the attack.ViIpvi
RoyIt was the best and only way to do it, but the process was far from easy.wQL
dmX2“Stop the guy approaching…!”j5UW1m
YU8Before I knew it, a group of barbarians had caught up to him from the side.Sw2
KB2A mysterious smile began to appear on the tattoos covering their faces.6Y75
aVA5“Ugh!”rO4
NwzK“Arrows, arrows fly!”T6xsi
R4ALKmStrange people dealing with outlaws.t87F
7bKQ3YDAlthough the warriors of the Budart tribe were small in number, they blocked the area from all sides and didn’t give them any space.UQM
IsAmRsAs they used to be.R5YX
FNPaViBArrows that I could shoot but you couldn’t block began to fly from the cleverly widened gap.cv1t
f5dP“Damn it!”siHg
dCvX5pBWagner shook his head violently as if he couldn’t believe the current reality.mGps5DN
pH3pA hunter hunted by his prey.qAT9k
sSfQTbThe vast desert, more than the narrow mountain path, was a more suitable battlefield for the northern barbarians than for them.7DgM
qNiTSN“Stop quickly!”wdanzQn
Xpk1vncHowever, judgment had to be calm, and it was he, the commander, who had to overcome this difficulty.Faqtu
lmnIaYThe four knights hastily broke away from the formation at Wagner’s urgent gesture.R9MBQEI
Q0CRThey tried to kill Vlad’s momentum somehow by somehow reducing the distance he could accelerate, but the Northern black horse was already much beyond the knights’ predictions.Ylu3d6O
VObQKP7“This is insane! Accelerate!”3iuOuSe
gqOSomeone’s shout, whether it was a report or a cry.Rwf16
jmqDWagner turned around hastily at the shout.P3LC
WdiGTaA black horse that, despite the knights’ difficult pursuit, easily defeated them with just a step forward.2LSohci
2I2y5q4The same white light as before began to form on the horse’s forehead.lbSnwQN
5zoSj8“Everyone, disperse!”wVSSE
URM2hWagner’s skin crawled without him realizing it as he watched that scene.qXgIj
nVuJsHere it comes again.8KTXwD
AB7Q1zThat madman.SLIrP
uajl6RA speed that cannot be stopped.lQzwa
J8NGs“Everyone, disperse!”gDrvp
SiAXRWXThe son of the prairie ran across a desolate field where only faint traces of the World Mother Tree remained.vSRf0
zmGE4WFollowing the space indicated by August’s footprints, I used the eye ability that Ramund had given me.iIX
ehgA race that no one can stop.V0l
msk1CNeigh-!NtZRQk
uzEL3P7Noir, who shared the world across the border, began to neigh for a long time as if there was nothing to fear.eY2gx6
FXpe2As the world expanded, the horse’s footprints gradually regained their original shape with the light.M6oD
zVhQYes. I followed you just for this moment.cYav
47ifc2“Now!”t9Fn
fbwFWith Vlad’s cry, a huge arrow began to reach the outlaws.WLyT
tePPSpeed that surpasses speed.P6Q
7IJheVBright red paint began to be painted over the lines that passed like divided waves.mVnDl
2E8FX“Hahah!”RAoxfv
1YVLZlAfter going through countless surprises and fears, Vlad finally crossed the cavalry and escaped into the vast desert.ndJI0
cQKu8Now there was no one ahead.HdwWf3P
elKhlCQThere, only a trace of twilight visible on the horizon greeted Vlad.Dv53Fm
3LrzAt that moment, Vlad felt a great sense of liberation because no one was blocking his way.TeO
gVhK“Tell Godin and Count Gaidar!”LOzPZt
bwfrA Northern knight clutching something with sticky, blood-covered hands.V8TtU8
SI07W8In his hand, a tattered flag waved impotently.LoRY3d
Tk8“I’ll take your flag!”xJ2fTA
fIEGaidar’s pride. Outlaws of the desert.pjMO
HUBGCqAn eagle, their symbol, had its neck broken and staggered impotently in Vlad’s hands.jyH
Er5pmj“This is my fair price!”Xk6Htd
2bgAs someone told me, a knight should only receive a fair price.ODzvON
fvZ9GA piece of honor received in exchange for life.95CCNu
7mBThe heavy twilight light dripping from the flag shone red on Vlad’s shoulders.lfaxve
iwGOsgg***cTgTfb
XyqbYOn a dark night, the city port is filled with lit torches.vuNRO
0WUOHVAmong the charred ships, two seemingly beautiful sailboats were waiting to set sail.lP2x
tafQpgaA galleon-class ship that cannot yet be built with Bayezid’s technology.P3exd
Bf9k7These were by far the most valuable items among the plundered goods.OfZ
sPjDU0G“So, was he the only one who fell?”D72N
DIs“That’s right, Lord Rutiger.vFVJ
0ePMBut even in front of the shining trophy, Rutiger’s expression was distorted.rixSo
8XdInMarcus’s group manages to escape to Nassau City as planned.Y9rHMHe
H0D3Marcus’s decision to follow the variables instead of clinging to a limb was excellent, but that didn’t mean everything went smoothly.zPz9iE
rmFD2“…It’s a headache. Was that really the only way? Owen?”gRmT
b9zkoE“It’s Marcus now.”j2i7
BxnRXG“Why not just settle on one name? It’s always confusing.”cYFnW
9KqeRRA woman was carried onto a boat on a stretcher, breathless.nRcNWYp
vTyKHThe green-haired boy, who had been following the woman with a tear-stained face, stopped when he saw Rutiger.TiCU
ppKiT“That boy is the last Ravnoma.”mqCNx6I
KJjleA“Mmm.”ODakUD
nWeQ9Karl looked at Rutiger, who was talking with Marcus.rAgKS
tjNThe tallest person in this group.ri2Gm
pjrOHis proud, open shoulders and his gaze that seemed to look far away even though he was close reminded him of his father, who was a proud monarch.q5081C
d6z“Are you going to wait for Lord Vlad?”YqHO5UP
fKqSLDv“…”ZpUb
YKRSuOver Rutiger’s shoulder, the walls of the burning castle could be seen in the distance.NJzbEVx
NWWbrU9The efforts of the Western Allied forces sent to rescue fallen Nassau were now fiercely pounding the walls.zb5B
LZeWNassau, which until now had barely been able to hold on, would not be able to withstand much longer, as it had been completely burned down.lkd
G3kzo“Are you going to wait? I have to deliver this.”TkqzX
DopA carefully folded black cape by Karl.KgmRtK
rpZVgRutiger clicked his tongue as he looked at the cape Karl handed him.h3qOQW
E9rwqpA cape given to him by his stepmother, Oksana.QBa
EZh6rYRutiger vividly remembered the young knight who wore that cape and walked through the Sturma mansion.uMmQ6
bt5L“…First, the personnel prepared by the board. Send them to Soara first.”0RTu5
rHu0“Aren’t you waiting? You’re not going to wait?”ynPq
OSauUfSA commander who carries out his mission regardless of his own requests.iiXj
MDFFaced with Rutiger’s cold attitude, Karl looked at him with tears in his eyes.Fq0Tgp
bSsDv“Aren’t you going to wait? You’re knights!”lIM
35rAt that moment, the knights of Ravnoma who had been with Karl but had disappeared one by one came to mind.Klu0pN
ifRWThe young Karl recalled their last moments when they died to save her life and no longer wanted to be separated like that.wL0dWj
w2ex“You have to wait! They said he would be here in a while!”Zctg0E7
QIpvoAC“Marcus. Take him away.”k0fN
ggtPSA young Ravnoma starts to struggle at another moment of separation.4fKgkc
EoVcDKpRutger looked at Karl and silently handed Vlad’s cape to him.hVdD
n6zW“Deliver it yourself. Karl Ravnoma.”QJZXOt
tyfbR“…”B98
Z0UvnBlack eyes firmly set without the slightest tremor.XE4Iwn
aNQA7tKarl, who glimpsed his sincerity, had no choice but to quietly fall into the arms of a group member and board the ship.tJKnv0
JZOUnlike me, who was just screaming, the knight in front of me was already holding his sword.WrU
Vqe“What are you going to do?”WjOOW4
7lp“I plan to dismiss them all for now and leave only one boat to help him escape.”QEubD7A
pKc0sH8“Is there any captain willing to stay?”KbaB43
pey4Marcus’s question was valid.VkR9e
VQ2BEBayezid had no naval force.nOyF
aBPeijThe downed ships were simply merchant ships sent to unload, so there would be no captain willing to stay in this life-threatening situation.1Q3tSn
4nnBs“Still, at least one boy will stay, right?”S27W
WdwCUsHowever, Rutiger just smiled deeply, as if he had confidence.IeR
3GlDRutiger already knew of a captain who would wait for Vlad even if it wasn’t necessarily a great reward.rlFZV
8YPCYpP“The stupid boy is late! Is there any volunteer to wait with me?”o3FhzE0
oXObCHis younger brother picked him up, and Bayezid took him in, fed him, clothed him, and washed him.YmWCW
MjbYAlthough he wasn’t his blood, at least Bayezid gave him meat and a sword.4ghNG
7XXsyrYou can’t give up a child like that so easily.pVwwg
7WMjLJ“He was good at running like crazy!”y91e5QH
cClaTP“He’ll probably be here soon!”H86PY
DvC5Unlike the crumbling walls of Nassau in the distance, someone is waving their hands from all over.VEs8
1gedBTvThey were all people who remembered Bayezid as the greatest dragon slayer.FsqbV
GuTIFBL***nf35Abc
MpCkmJU“Over here!”kJmFIU
AmJ8Vlad and the Budart tribe run along the coast following the secret trail left by Marcus.1Tb
bXzQdmVlad, running along the sandy beach following the faint moonlight, gritted his teeth upon seeing a fire burning in the distance.cVIq
HiZ1O‘It’s too late!’heZ4IV
I29They might have killed all the cavalry, but that’s why they only took the flag.SFgzX2
cGkZ3nKThis was because he knew all too well that there was no time.1em
PBMl“Has it already happened?”N3yT
XcCPTP“…I don’t know!”SFTe
VoDTMarcus had told us to consider the worst and arrive as quickly as possible.2cy8cxs
gXcKuHowever, despite their best efforts, the fire of the Western allies had already surpassed the walls and was advancing towards the port.zO0b
Y1OI3Z‘I’d rather do it now…’EEo
1N2Wouldn’t it be better to turn your horse’s head and flee than to enter a city full of enemies?svp16
GaJrIt would be impossible to fight an army with just about ten people.ZWx
Zhatnu7‘…!’5GoYr
kzGgEntrance and retreat. Meanwhile, Vlad, who was thinking, began to hear a faint sound.d7YehI7
OGvSensitive hearing that had manifested since childhood.Mym0
0xJJFrom the tips of his very perked ears, he could clearly hear the sound of swords clashing.BNZ
Geri2bU“There are still people left!”JWICwK
Epr“Run!”zMpoI7r
ocCudPyVlad and his companions jumped over the rocks along the coast towards the port.ZOoO61
x4u7MSQThey arrived at the port on horseback and saw a crowd of soldiers crowded in front of them and several men blocking their path.CI5
REq“You damn brat! You can’t come soon enough!”FI1A8c
2q6tP“I knew you were a bastard!”pev
19cX5Although there are less than ten knights, they are defeating hundreds of soldiers with shining auras.f1J
zAWlqtzAmong them, Rutiger, covered in blood, smiled.b688J8g
tor1tXB“Get on the boat!”0CaIkn
SmgbQgVVlad turned his head in the direction Rutiger’s finger pointed.ec2wY9L
WVVYMA small boat sailing alone in a port full of burnt ships.hS7q8y
K7jBEven now, on the boat, which had been alone despite the evil cries coming from afar, someone was waving their arms vigorously.3Cnr
Q76HW“Vlad! I’m here!”IyOkJ
FE9tA man who is busy waving his arms despite standing hunched as if something was uncomfortable.p6jIO
osuA smile spread across Vlad’s face when he saw the man.bgmo
0qi8cThe boat’s figure seemed familiar to me, as if I had seen it somewhere before.XVnF
S20UczI was relieved to hear the voice of a man shouting at me from above.VdF
rqrm“What are you doing, man! Get on board quickly!”ClCNJq
szTH8cFAlthough all the boats had left to avoid danger, there was one boat waiting alone for Vlad.VQmdBoN
DGoVThe man wearing an elegant captain’s hat held a cane.eKONkco
