How To Live as a Scammer in the Game

55. You cut my sword, don’t you remember?

“I don’t really like the welcome ceremony.”

To a question that was not mine, Knight Commander Vincent answered with a frown.

“The Countess of Mollen is basically a place with strong anti-royalty tendencies… but this seems a bit excessive. Something is definitely wrong!”

It’s not an enemy country that is at war, but their own army is approaching, and they fire a catapult without a hitch.

It was probably not a normal state for anyone to see.

Besides, the timing was right after Count Soleon escaped.

I was sure something was going on inside me.

And I made up my mind.

“Break through!”

They might have been taken aback by my strong decision, but the Dark Iron Knights followed my order without wavering.

“Yes!”

“The goal is, the collapsed castle wall! Charge through that place!”

Knight Commander Vincent nodded immediately and shouted at the knights.

“Raise your shield!”

Every single thing!

The knights raised their shields in unison, creating a chariot-like appearance without any gaps for arrows to penetrate.

In fact, knights of this era were also in the same position as chariots.

However, even though the arrows were blocked, there were catapults in the enemy camp.

Of course, in front of a catapult, a shield was useless.

So I was at the forefront this time too.

“I’ll clear the way from the vanguard! I’ll take care of the flying rocks, so prepare for battle with the thought of only blocking arrows!”

To my cry, all the knights answered in unison.

We were the ones who had already passed through a life-and-death battle.

Their trust in each other was never lacking.

So, even though it was a seemingly ridiculous order, the knights did not waver at all.

“I take orders!”

After confirming their momentum, I nodded and spoke to Diaz and Knight Commander Vincent.

“The two of you, defend the arrows on my left and right. You don’t need to draw your sword, just focus on defense. And keep Diaz in Pico’s arms.”

Anyway, if I don’t clear the way from the forefront, the entire expeditionary corps is in an impossible situation.

Diaz and Vincent, who saw the situation, answered right away.

“Yes. Mr. Rohan.”

“Okay sir!”

I made sure they were ready.

He ran forward through the bushes.

“Full army! Advance!”

Diaz and Knight Commander Vincent left and right on my signal.

And behind them, the expedition team started running all at once.

“Waaa!”

“Don’t fall behind!”

“Turn around!”

With a shout, a charred arrow flew into the sky.

i confirmed it

“To the defensive formation!”

gave the order

chuck! chuck! Chuck!

The knights erected their shields and fully prepared for defense, and stopped on the spot.

Diaz and Knight Commander Vincent also built a wall using their two shields.

After a while.

A huge amount of arrows began to rain like rain in an instant.

Shhhh…… Tung! Tutung! Tung! Tung!

A bloody noise heard over the shield.

What the hell happened behind that wall, to launch such a bloody attack?

I had many questions at the same time, but in the end it seemed that I had no choice but to go and check it myself.

Let the rain of arrows stop.

“Corsair!”

Again we started running.

And as expected.

The next step was a catapult attack.

Empty! Empty! Tuong! Empty!

Several stones floated into the sky.

I didn’t have to stop everything.

Because some dogs were able to avoid enough.

only one.

That flying in front of me had to be dealt with.

I drew my sword and lightly drew a vertical line.

wickedness.

A stone that splits left and right with space and even the cross section neatly.

The knights of the Black Iron Knights, who hadn’t properly seen my space cutting in the previous battle with the undead, seemed surprised.

“What a man-sized stone…!”

“The cross-section of this one would be so hard even if you cut a tree…”

I shouted at them who were so surprised that they were stunned for a while.

“Advance again!”

“Yes, yes!”

“Move!”

No rocks, no arrows.

It wasn’t enough to stop us.

* * *

“This situation is more serious than I thought.”

We safely broke through the wall.

By the way……

“Kyaaagh!”

“Kreuk!”

“Kiiiii…!”

At first glance, the condition of the soldiers inside was not normal.

Originally, the Countess of Molden was said to be from a barbaric people…

‘This is not the level of barbarism, but madness?’

It was recognizable that they were originally soldiers guarding this Countess of Molen.

He was still wearing his armor.

But their actions. He was far from an ordinary soldier.

It was like a mixture of a zombie twisting its body strangely and a dog with rabies.

The appearance was also very unpleasant.

Unmanaged, messy hair.

A skinny face and pale skin.

And even long stretched fangs.

In addition, the whites of the eyes turned red as if all the blood vessels had burst, causing disgust.

I was able to see through that bizarre phenomenon at a glance.

“It’s a vampire…!”

To be precise, they were low-class vampires created by high-ranking vampires.

However, they were also threatening enough.

They had power far exceeding that of humans, and unlike undead like ghouls, they also had intelligence.

Thanks to that, even weapons such as catapults were activated.

It’s just that he hadn’t become a vampire yet, so when he saw a human with delicious blood up close, his reason seemed to be blown away by his desire for blood.

I told the puzzled knights a strategy to wake up.

“Concentrate and aim for the neck and heart! Unlike humans, other parts of the body will not react even if cut!”

Hearing my words, Knight Commander Vincent focused once again.

“You’ve all heard Lord Rohan, right? Throat and heart!”

“Yes!”

“All right!”

The knights calmly gathered in twos and threes, formed camps, and fought against them.

Befitting its reputation as one of the strongest knights of Aldion.

The Ebon Knights did not collapse easily.

Still, my heart was impatient.

‘This……it’s a matter of time.’

* * *

Having experienced a large-scale vampire war in the original work, I had no choice but to be convinced.

First of all, the preparation was very poor.

It was because he never imagined that he would meet vampires here.

And secondly, there was a serious shortage of supplies.

I couldn’t even guess how many there were.

causing black thunder

Quagga Gaga River! Damn it!

Even if it cuts open space and decapitates five or six people at once.

The vampires that were still flocking in were far away.

Thanks to my recent rapid growth, I can still run wild…

‘Knights are not infinite stamina.’

The situation was different from the battle with Horike Dawn.

Even if there were a lot of skeletons, if you killed their leader, the lich, you could get rid of them all in an instant.

So that’s what I was able to push through.

With the thought that only Horikedon had to be defeated.

However, vampires have a different temperament.

Even if the chief is eliminated, they do not disappear.

I didn’t even know who the head was.

I don’t know if I’m alone, but now I was in the position of the commander leading them all.

‘I can’t continue fighting irresponsibly. At least I need time to reorganize even if I fight.’

Now was not the time for an all-out war.

Even when the times were bad, it was too bad.

At least if it was only dawn now, I would have tried to hold on and take the time…

‘It’s still too far for the sun to rise.’

I made a decision.

I couldn’t let all the knights die here.

“Bite the front line! Prepare to retreat!”

Knight Commander Vincent informed the knights of my order once again.

“Prepare the retreat while maintaining the defensive line! Stick as much as possible so as not to fall behind!”

In the words of Knight Commander Vincent, there was a saying that he could not save those who had fallen out.

So please don’t fall behind.

It seemed that the morale of the knights had decreased a little, as they were in a situation where they were retreating.

I gritted my teeth even more because the morale of these knights was also part of my responsibility.

When momentum dies, the charter passes.

When the tide goes over, there are victims.

Of course, as commander, I planned to escape with everyone alive.

So, I had to keep my momentum going.

“I won’t tolerate a single dropout! Everyone will survive!”

The knights’ will to fight, which had almost cooled down due to him, began to rekindle little by little.

“Follow Lord Rohan!”

“Hold the shield straight up!”

“Calm down and hold on!”

But the reality was harsher than expected.

“Oops!”

I checked that I checked all the articles with all my might.

One of them eventually fell.

The problem is that he fell, and the defense line itself began to shake.

I immediately ran to the spot and slaughtered the vampires.

Let’s go!

In an instant, the space slash spread in all directions, forming a sword screen.

“Diaz!”

“Yes! I’m going now!”

Diaz also ran to help the fallen knight and retreated.

At the same time, I glanced at the line of defense.

‘I need more time…!’

Although the knights on both sides were filling in the gaps and building a defensive line again.

I still had to keep this place a little longer.

By the way.

“aaagh!”

Another knight fell on the other side.

‘It’s a big deal!’

For a moment, it felt like a chill went down my spine.

I couldn’t empty this place now.

‘sh*t……!’

at that time.

Torches started appearing out of nowhere.

“Run quickly! Shouldn’t we all be brought here before we die?”

* * *

Even while dealing with the vampires, I couldn’t help but pay attention to the group that suddenly appeared.

Because they had to decide whether they were allies or enemies.

But fortunately, they seemed like allies.

“Here! Support me! We need to build a line of defense!”

“Go, go!”

As if you already have a lot of experience, you will arrange it neatly from the retreat.

Quickly notice, the troops were put in starting from the collapsed defense line on the other side.

“Wounded! Look at the wounded here!”

“Medicine!”

In an instant, he began guiding the injured knight to the retreat.

At the same time, several personnel began to stop the vampires with overwhelming force.

By the way……

Among them, there was a slightly familiar face.

With her blonde bobbed hair tied back, she had a slightly sharp face.

Isn’t he also looking back at me?

“……”

“Sir Rohan? Wow. I finally found it!”

even recognized me

The time when I was confused about who it was.

Realizing that I didn’t remember him, he pointed a finger at himself and said.

“Did I forget already? Andrew! It’s Andrew! The same seven knights! Do you remember cutting off my sword?”

ah! I finally remembered.

A member of the Seven Knights, the first one I met after becoming a member of the Seven Knights.

Andrew.

But… why is he here?
