57 – No bloodshed if surrendered

“I… Are you really okay?”

The general’s words of concern.

However, the paladin Amelda spoke in a voice filled with determination.

“As I said, my mission is to make the Pope’s proclamation known to all elves in this demonic territory. If there are people left in Galilee, it would be a matter of principle to go and spread the news.”

“Anyway, going there is too risky. It’s practically the same as crossing the enemy’s territory… ”

“I knew the danger from the beginning, so I came and no one else. Even if it looks like this, the body that went to the devil castle as a member of the past warrior party. It would be much better than sending someone else.”

“Um… ”

Amelda, referring to the papal decree and her own duties in relation to it.

Watching her speak with a strong will,

The Elf general had no choice but to give permission after much thought.

“As I said, we cannot guarantee any safety in this matter. Please note that.”

“Do not worry. However, if I fail and lose my life, please inform the home country of the news. That Amelda deserved the punishment she deserved for her sins against the hero.”

“… Okay. I will tell you that.”

It was a story that didn’t feel very good for a will, but

Nevertheless, the general recognized the sincerity contained in it and nodded.

in her appearance,

While getting the impression that it is like watching a pilgrim walking on the path of atonement.

Minos, veteran of the Falcon Empire

The proud soldier of the empire, the one in charge of guarding Calvary Castle here, was standing on top of the castle wall with his sword in great tension.

“ruler… General… ”

“Calm down. Everyone, do not be afraid and defend your position.”

“under… However… ”

“We are proud soldiers of the Empire. I will die fighting fiercely for my country until the end.”

“Kuh… ”

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Minos speaks with a voice filled with determination as a warrior.

However, despite his words, the soldiers at this moment could not easily shake off the fear in their hearts.

A scene in front of your eyes.

that…

It was a procession of countless flames wandering in the thick darkness.

Not ordinary lights, but green and purple flames containing the magic of demons.

Watching them tell us that at least thousands to tens of thousands of troops were roaming around the area, the soldiers could not relax their tension in the fact that the enemy would come here at any moment.

Calvary Castle, the southern territory of the tribal union within the Demon Kingdom.

Like other regions, it was virtually isolated from the outside world, and no one could expect any help from the outside to come from this small-scaled place.

and,

In this situation, the army of powerful demons passing in front of them was a fearsome existence in itself.

‘There are at most 300 troops left in this castle.

‘If they turn this way in this situation, we’ll be finished that day.’

‘damn… Do I really have to die like this? No matter how much I prepared for death, I came here, but to go this way in a place like this… ‘

Soldiers who were seized by emotions as if their hearts were shriveled while watching the ferocious flames of the demons.

Although their fear was barely suppressed by General Minos, who was shouting one after another by their side, the fear they felt was still deep in their hearts.

An army of demons that seemed to be attacking us right in front of our eyes.

Watching the waves of death appearing through the flames, the soldiers couldn’t help but feel their blood drying up every moment.

And this

The reason was slightly different, but General Minos, who was trying his best to encourage the soldiers, was the same.

‘Are you really coming here? Or are you trying to attack allied forces located elsewhere? Either way, with an army like that, it must be a clear fact that we no longer have a chance… ‘

General Minos, who has overcome countless crises so far,

However, despite this, Minos was feeling that there was nothing he could do about the large army of enemies in front of him.

In fact, now that a large army, which can be said to be the main force of the enemy, is gathered here, there is nothing left for them to die an honorable death, guarding a small castle on the outskirts.

‘okay… Come and see where But I will not give you the head of this Minos easily.’

With that thought in mind, Minos is prepared to risk his life while dealing with the approaching enemies.

But,

Apart from his determination and the fear of the soldiers.

The flames of the demons in front of my eyes did not come to this place in the end, and as the day dawned, they disappeared somewhere.

In the end, Minos and his men who spent the whole night in such deep tension and fear.

Fortunately, the time of the apocalypse they expected did not come, but at this moment, only deep fear, not relief, was taking place in their hearts.

‘Fortunately, I survived… But I’m sure it will really end tonight.’

‘I guess yesterday’s target wasn’t us, but it’s definitely our turn next time… ‘

Even though there was no actual battle, the soldiers were still caught in a great commotion.

I would rather not know if the battle was going on last night.

In this situation where the strong wind of fear swept through, the little bit of leisure given to them began to make them come up with more specific and diverse thoughts.

The despair and signs of death that passed through their spines, and the longing for life felt even stronger by the reaction.

These emotions naturally brought to mind extremely aggravated situations with the help of imagination.

This instilled in them a strong sense of fear and fear that the enemy might strike again, and more and more they began to drive them into a sense of nervousness and tension.

After that, the night marches of the demons took place at irregular intervals for about a week.

Each time, the soldiers had to watch the scene vividly for defense while gathering on the wall, and the fear and anxiety of the soldiers only deepened.

A scene that vividly conveys the fact that their lives are at stake.

Each time it was repeated, the soldiers formally became more and more impoverished, and in the end, as the days passed, deserters who were obsessed with the desire to survive somehow, and soldiers in despair who gave up everything appeared one after another in the castle. Began to do.

In just a few days, the human power of Calvary Castle was reduced to less than half, and the remaining soldiers were also mentally exhausted.

and…

in front of them.

A letter was delivered along with a soldier who attempted to escape.

“Read it.”

“you… your general.”

A deserter picks up the letter with trembling hands at Minos’ words.

He began to read it carefully in front of his colleagues.

“If you obediently abandon the castle and withdraw, I will show you mercy. However, if you resist to the end, you will be annihilated like Timothy’s soldiers.”

A story that will open a way to live in a reality where there was only despair.

At the same time, a declaration that if he refuses this mercy, he will definitely put an end to it.

At this, the remaining soldiers in the castle began to be greatly agitated.

“right… Will you spare us?”

“You mean you can get out of this hellish place?”

at that time…

“Be quite! Don’t fall for the enemies’ cunning tricks! Aren’t those filthy guys not capable of saving us?”

General Minos speaks in a determined voice.

However, about this, the adjutants and soldiers who were by his side began to talk in cautious voices.

“under… But General, if that was the intention, the enemy would have attacked us already.”

“Still, I heard that among the demons, there are some who treat them mildly as prisoners.”

“Anyway, everyone will die at this rate. Creepy!!!”

“!”

The next moment, General Minos cut off the head of one of the department heads who tried to convince him.

Right after that, he showed a murderous gaze and radiated a beast-like presence toward those in front of him.

“I will say it again. There is no such thing as surrender. We are the proud warriors of the Falcon Empire. We will definitely bury our bones here. To die while protecting the honor as a proud warrior until the end. You know!”

“… .”

“Answer me! Don’t you ask if you understand!”

“Ah… Al… I will, General.”

General Minos gives a warning that is close to living like that and goes straight into the barracks.

and… Seeing him like this

The soldiers who were there began to exchange glances cautiously.

In this desperate situation, what should they do to survive.

*

“Ummm..”

“This is the neck of General Minos who guarded Calvary Castle.”

“As promised, please let us live.”

Humans kneeling before them and begging for mercy.

Looking down at them, Samson nodded slowly.

“I get it. We are generous, showing mercy to those who surrender. If you quietly empty the castle and leave, there will be no bloodshed, so go in peace.”

“Go… thank you.”

“I will never forget this favor.”

The soldiers bowed their heads at Samson’s words and went back.

As they emptied the castle and ran away without much fighting, Samson’s mouth began to smile.

‘It is indeed a strategy of the warrior, the performance is certain.’
