When he opened his eyes, he saw Aura who was already eighteen years old but had not changed much from the past.
She looked at Ash condescendingly and frowned: "Don't sleep anymore, something seems to have gone wrong."
"What's the meaning?"
"The demon wolf who cooperated with the hunter was killed."
"....Yeah?"
He sat up from the ground, wondering whether it was a human being, a monster, or the demons... In the wind mixed with the fragrance of wheat and flowers, there seemed to be a smell of blood.
His ears quickly caught the sound of horse hooves and panicked shouts in the distance, which made him stand up quickly and look in the direction of the sound.
I saw a group of cavalry with their swords stained with blood, riding their horses from a field not far away.
Judging from the flag, it was the military symbol of the Telton Kingdom, the enemy country of the Tad Kingdom where they were now.
In order to defend against attacks by wild beasts in the surrounding forests, they entered the border area in a guerrilla manner, but the cavalry who launched the surprise attack were fully armed.
Hanging on the spear of the leading cavalryman was the familiar young hunter Julius. He was a war orphan who had fled here to escape the war and had just recently left the army.
"You have always wanted to escape the war, but now that you are here...you still can't escape after all? How pitiful."
Ash narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed calmly, and took the long sword that the village chief handed over cautiously.
Compared to the others, the village chief couldn't calm down at all, and said anxiously and fearfully: "A-Sir Ash...please, please protect us!"
"....I can only do my best."
In the wars of the Middle Ages, there is basically no bottom line. Of course, it is difficult to have a bottom line in actual wars, but it will be more obvious in this era... The victor rapes, plunders, and slaughters the city, everything is too ordinary. strange.
The massacre of border villages and towns on the other side can create panic, destroy the enemy's economic foundation and social order, thereby weakening the enemy's will and strength to fight. It is also a very conventional method, and it can also make soldiers physically and mentally happy.
There is nothing surprising about this, but...their appearance in the village as a foreign race is more contrasting and dramatic.
"Why are the demons in this village? There are so many monsters..." The officer who led more than thirty cavalry in this area and conducted a sweep noticed the demonic beasts and ferocious beasts beside the village, as well as the monsters right next to Ash When Aura came to see her, her face didn't look very good.
The magician next to him looked at the guys in the village who obviously had magic reflexes but were not very strong, and couldn't help but said proudly:
"It's okay, Lord Maynard. The demon and the magician next to him seem to be just fledgling rookies. The strength of these monsters is also average. They are just common species around here. They can only win by numbers. That’s all.”
"...Are the demons keeping humans in captivity, or are the demons captive by humans?" The cavalry commander, known as Maynard, muttered without bothering to care about it, and swung his sword directly down: "——Kill Just them!"
"Eat them."
Aura, who had experienced many battles in the forest, was not afraid and gave orders to the puppets with a cold face.
Iron hooves stepped across the field, immediately raising a cloud of dust, and the beasts surrounding the village also swarmed out.
The Buried Fulian·Thousand Years to Present: Chapter 7 The First Bloody Battle
When the cavalry and the herd charged towards each other.
The villagers were also in a mess, either looking for weapons to try to help, or trying to escape in a panic.
But Aura ignored them. After all, no matter whether she won or lost, she definitely couldn't stay here. Therefore, she just looked at the puppets who rushed towards her and frowned:
"Let me tell you, Ash, why do I have to fight with humans to protect them? Normally I should just run away, right?"
"Don't bother me, Aura, I'm also thinking about this issue now."
He just wanted to develop stably, but accidentally got involved in a human war... This strange situation made Ash helpless. He could only hold his forehead with one hand and lamented that life is always full of accidents.
But even if Aura was right, he couldn't just slap his ass and leave... After all, they had been living here for several years.
Even while they were talking, wailing, screaming, and war cries were echoing around the village that was filled with blood, just like a real battlefield.
And he silently raised a hand, the air suddenly stagnated slightly at this moment, and the blood splashing in the air suddenly changed its parabolic and linear fall.
Relying on the strong armor that was enchanted to be comparable to heavy armor, the knights had an advantage in the fight with the beasts. Almost at the same time, the horses under their crotches could not bear the weight of their bodies, and fell to the ground in embarrassment with a burst of smoke. .
A considerable range of gravity was changed, but the actual magnitude of the change was not very large. It unexpectedly had a miraculous effect on the manned charging horses.
The villagers who were not wearing any armor also seized the opportunity. With some heavy steps, they rushed forward to pick up simple weapons and stabbed them at the gaps in their armor. The smaller beasts were also affected and became more aggressive. to their helmets.
In an instant, human screams were heard everywhere.
But compared to his men, the leader of this group of cavalry who sneaked into the enemy's territory, the elite of the elite, cavalry captain Maynard rolled over and stabilized his body in a half-kneeling posture when his horse fell to the ground.
"Wow, wow!" the villagers shouted tremblingly, swinging their hoes at his head.
But Maynard just raised his hand, cut off the hoe and swung another sword with his backhand, easily cutting the villager who ran to the front in half.
"Really powerful, but... we still have to get rid of him." Although the acquaintance died in front of him, Ash was not moved, just pulled out the best sword in the village and walked forward quickly.
Maynard followed suit and prepared for close combat.
He rode a warhorse and wore armor to defend against arrows behind him. The mage who was pressed and unable to get up noticed this scene, but took off his helmet with difficulty and tried to untie his gauntlet under this heavy pressure.
At this moment, Ash suddenly stopped, twisted his waist slightly to accumulate strength, then canceled the magic and threw the long sword violently.
Under the effect of repulsion, the speed of the sword blade was faster than expected. Maynard stared at the long sword and subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but suddenly froze.
The long sword that kept spinning passed by him with a "whoosh!" sound and went straight into the forehead of the military wizard who had just taken off his helmet behind him.
With a splash of blood, the wizard who subconsciously raised his head stared blankly, not even understanding how he died, and fell down with his head tilted up.
This made Maynard look back dumbfounded, and his mask was immediately stained with the blood of his companions, and his face began to become distorted:
"--You bastard!!"
"Fighting me in armor, and yours is a heavy and thick heavy armor, which means... I have the advantage this time." Ash pressed with one hand, concentrating magic to maximize the gravity effect.
"Uh--?!"
Maynard's feet suddenly sank, and his body was gradually bent. Obviously, he could not bear the pressure, and was forced to insert the sword blade into the ground, barely holding himself up to prevent himself from falling.
This made Ash nod with satisfaction, and he took out the thin and sharp armor-piercing cone from his waist.
In this world, many human soldiers are heavily armored, so this thing is surprisingly useful... I didn't have the opportunity to use it before, but this time it came in handy.
"Don't worry, I'll end your life soon." He gestured, and was about to stab it directly into his neck.
He had already mastered the usual process of suppressing the opponent with magic and then finishing him off, but just as he was about to stab... his hand was suddenly empty.
The armor-piercing cone was instantly taken away by someone, and in a flash, it was accurately stabbed into his neck.
It was so fast that he had no time to react, and Aura, who was not far away, also opened his mouth in surprise.
Liar? This is not a normal human at all...! ——Wearing heavy armor and being affected by abnormal gravity, he can still be so fast? Ash, who really lacked experience in fighting with others, realized at this moment that he had been fooled.
Of course, as a magician, it was not wise for him to fight in close combat, but compared with other demons, he had too little experience. Occasionally, he could only use weapons to make up for it, and he also cheated to kill magicians as before.
Unfortunately, he couldn't make any sound because his neck was pierced. He just fell to the ground with a sound similar to that of a broken blower, spitting blood bubbles and shaking.
With his eyes wide open, he watched the guy pull out the long sword on the ground, and looked at him coldly through his helmet with a smug smile, and raised the sword like this:
"You are so young, you want to restrict me to this extent!"
This was obviously a scene to send him to the west, and Ash, who was struggling to get up, was unconsciously frozen.
As a demon, he was actually only an infant. He had not grown up at all, and he had not even developed. This was the first time that he was so close to death, because this time... might be the most helpless time.
At this decisive moment, the last moment when the sharp blade fell - a demon bull suddenly flew over and knocked Maynard out with a "bang!"
Maynard flew into the air and then crashed into a house not far away.
"Guga!... Just a low-level monster! How dare you... attack me!"
The attack should have been able to react, but due to the change in gravity and the drag of the armor, he was forced to take the blow, which made Maynard angry and he took a stance and stretched out his hands, trying to catch the car-sized demon bull that rushed over again.
But at this moment, the gravity on his body disappeared, and he was caught off guard and hit the wall again by the demon bull's chest, and even directly knocked a big hole in the stone wall, and no one knew where he flew to.
On the battlefield without Ash's gravity assistance, the severely injured cavalry also seized the opportunity to fight fiercely with the beasts and the villagers who rose up to resist.
The shouts of killing resounded through the sky, but... it didn't last long before it gradually returned to its former calm.
The Buried Flyllian: Thousand Years to the Present: Chapter 8: Leaving after a Bitter Victory
Under the blood-red sky dyed by the setting sun.
Despite Ash's gravity magic, the herd was slaughtered when gravity disappeared, and the young and strong villagers lay on the ground.
However, the elite light cavalry that should have been able to easily slaughter the village was reduced to only three people in a blink of an eye.
The three cavalrymen covered in blood did not look optimistic, and even their armor had many signs of damage.
"It's just a village...it turned out like this..." The cavalry captain, as an elite among elites, shook his head and locked his sight on the old, weak, sick and disabled Aura, who showed a troubled look. He basically saw that she must have no fighting power, and walked forward with the sword tightly grasped: "You damn demons!! Die...!"
"Hu..." An inappropriate but easily ignored gasp mixed into the suffocating and noisy battlefield.
The neck should have been pierced by the armor-piercing cone, and Ash, who should have died, stood up again silently at this moment.
The figure swaying in the afterglow of the sunset, who had been dormant for a long time just to wait for this opportunity, appeared behind Maynard like a ghost.
He pulled out the armor-piercing cone from his neck, bringing a splash of blood, and then without the slightest hesitation, at the moment when Maynard noticed something wrong, he stabbed the armor-piercing cone fiercely into the gap in the neck of the armor.
"——Gah?!!!"
Maynard's eyes widened suddenly, and finally showed fear and despair in his eyes, but he couldn't even turn around.
With the blood gushing out of his neck like a fountain, his body lost strength and he knelt straight on the ground. Behind him came a whisper that seemed to come from hell:
"...You don't understand the demons and me thoroughly enough. This level of injury won't kill me."
"What——?"
"——Captain?!"
The two cavalrymen who were still planning to kill the demons in the end exclaimed and looked back.
At this moment, Ash also stepped on Maynard's shoulder, and pulled out the armor-piercing cone with the force, causing him to collapse to the ground powerlessly.
"How dare you...!"
"——Asshole!!"
The two angry cavalrymen cursed and raised their swords to kill him to avenge the captain, but... Ash just glanced at them silently and raised his hand slightly.
The abnormal gravity once again dominated their bodies, causing the two people, who were already exhausted physically and mentally, to kneel down on the ground under the pressure of the armor and the heavier weight.
Next, just repeat the task, ignore their scolding and pleading, and pierce the armor-piercing cone into the gap in the armor, and everything is completely over.
After simply completing everything, Ash sat on the cavalry's back and sighed deeply in the pool of blood:
"Really, why do I have to do this for the internal strife of mankind..."
"But ah~ This world is really interesting, don't you think so too?" Aura stood out from the crowd and squatted in front of him, just holding her chin with her hands and looking up at him, revealing a malicious smile.
".... Maybe."
He ignored Aura, just lowered his head, staring at his bloody hands, letting his thoughts gradually move away from this place.
Today was his first time killing someone, but for some reason, he had no fear or hesitation at all. Was it because of the instinct of the demons, or because he had killed many people in recent years? He couldn't figure out what was going on.
Although the village had won, no one was happy at the scene, and deep sorrow filled the entire village.
Basically, there were dead people in every household, but they could only force themselves to deal with the bodies on the ground under the command of the village chief, and prepare to sell the armor and weapons of these cavalrymen in two days.
Ash looked at the busy villagers, but touched the gauze on his neck, and began to think about when to leave.
Aura was standing by, watching him with an ambiguous smile, playing with the scales in her hand, and slowly said: "Tell me~ If I use the obedience magic on you now, what will be the effect?"
".... Your magic is far from perfect now, there are still many problems, right? For example, the strong dominate the weak, so the probability of being controlled is also very high. Are you sure my magic power is exhausted?"
"Well~ This is also a problem?" Aura shook the scales in her hand with an innocent smile, and became distressed: "Although the control problem has been improved, fair gambling is indeed very disadvantageous for young demons like me."
"... Your magic has too many disadvantages, so you should change to other magic as soon as possible." Ash, who had lost too much blood, was pale and shook his head to give advice.
"Thank you for your concern, but if it is scaled up, it is impossible to lose at the same level~ So~ Are you jealous?"
