The Porter Is Not Interested in the Hero Party

106 – Endless (8)

“Report the situation.”

“Yes. 231 dead. 833 wounded. The injured are being moved to private houses, and the medicine warehouse is being opened to treat urgent patients first.”

“Who are the dead?”

“There it is.”

Kayberes turned his face away. A pile of corpses was lying covered in cloth on one side of the village. From fabrics from a drapery shop to blankets from villages. Various objects were used for resting the corpses. Kayberes felt his hands tremble.

Without realizing it, I covered my face and took a deep breath and wiped my face.

“…to bury it.”

“There are not enough cemeteries, so there is nowhere to bury them.”

Kayberes nodded. Her eyes were red and she smelled sweet every time she exhaled. If there were not enough graveyards, there was no time to ponder the matter further. Now she had to focus on the living soldiers rather than the dead.

When she looked at the wall again, the adjutant nodded and went down the stairs. Cayberes fiddled with his hands as he faced the horrendous faces of the soldiers on the wall.

The callused finger holding the sword.

After the fierce battle, each knuckle was bruised, and the blood stains that had not yet been wiped were clear on the wrist. Caybereth rubbed the marks with saliva with his tongue, then rose to his feet.

Black smoke and bloodstains hung from the bottom of the walls.

only once.

It was a devastation caused by a single attack. The corpses of demons were clinging everywhere. I was able to endure it somehow by taking advantage of this point of defensive warfare, but every time I looked at the terrible horrors of the great warfare, I painted my light with tragedy.

Cayberes looked at the dismembered demon while clinging to the wall. The distorted expression seemed to be looking at the gargoyle of the mansion. Kayberes reached out and threw the demon corpse. There was a sound of water falling into the moat, and nearby soldiers flinched and looked at Caybereth.

The water, which was originally dark green with green algae floating in it, became a dark red mud with a foul smell as the blood of demons mixed with it. The corpse of the demon was floating on top of it, then locked with a growling sound, and someone was riding a horse on the horizon.

“Commander.”

Kiberes raised his head at the soldier’s message. An Asmodian soldier showed off his presence by holding a trumpet-like object and looking around the wall. The black horse was intoxicated with demonic energy and its eyes were stained red, and its body was more than twice the size of a normal horse.

When the messenger confirmed that our soldiers were showing their faces, he put his trumpet to his mouth and shouted.

“Sir Stauffen delivers! We don’t want to fight! All I want is the traitor’s head! I promise you, if you hang the head of Caybereth on the gate and open the gate! I will not attack you guys! You will be guaranteed safety! Even after the war is over, I will live as the only human on this land!”

Kayberes looked around. The faces of the soldiers were weary, staring at the messenger with weariness and hatred. And some soldiers were giving Kebereth their eyes. Kayberes tried to ignore those gazes and reached out his hand.

“bow.”

The soldier standing next to him moved busily, handed over his bow, and lightly pulled the string. The messenger, unable to confirm this side, raised his voice even more.

“Surrender if you don’t want to die! What is the reason for our futile fights! Give us the traitor’s head… … !”

The messenger’s voice cut off. The arrow that left the demonstration hit the guy right between his eyes. Some of the soldiers cheered at the messenger’s death, while others threw stones and booed. The horse, which had lost its owner, circled around and then turned around and ran to the camp of the demons.

Kiberes exclaimed.

“Don’t fall for their instigation! We will keep this place! The next attack is coming soon! All ready!”

The soldiers began to move at the command of Kayberes. slow. The soldiers, full of fatigue and fear, moved as if they were cursed. The swaying movements were full of wishes to end this fight quickly.

As Cayberes watched the soldiers’ movements, his vision blurred and his ears tingled.

And it seemed that it was not his own delusion. It was because when she blinked and looked around, the other soldiers were moving in the same way.

Squeak- squeak- squeak.

An eerie sound echoed across the field, as if a piece of rusty metal was moving. The heavy structure moved along the wheels, and dozens of demon soldiers clung to it to provide power through poles.

Every time a structure as tall as a castle wall closes the distance little by little in the future.

The ground was shaking.

catapult.

Kayberes felt fear and rage that seemed to take his breath away.

Right behind the catapult were loaded with magic stones. Staufen shouted with a pitiful look behind the catapults. Rather than being genuinely sad, the tone of teasing was strong.

“What a pity! Humans! Although I reached out to you! You rejected my offer to the end! I’ll give you guys time to think again! Humans! It’s your last chance! I’ll give you a taste of the power of our demon king! Choose wisely whose side you guys are on!”

Stauffen waved his hand. The rope connected to the catapult was cut with an axe. Using elasticity, the magic stones began to pop out all at once. Hard, gigantic stones the size of a person.

There was no equipment in this castle wall to block such an outrageous tool.

Kiberes shouted.

“Keep down! Avoid all!”

She threw herself, and the soldiers crept between shields and hedges. While lying on his stomach, Kebereth gestured to the soldiers below to order the villagers to evacuate as well.

The youngest soldier climbed up the watchtower and started ringing the bell, and black dots popped up in the sky, drawing a black rainbow and flying towards the village.

“uh?”

Both Kayberes and the soldiers opened their eyes wide and looked at the path of the magic crystal.

Just as humans can’t help a falling meteor, the fall of a giant magic crystal was not something a single criminal could do.

Such huge rhombuses began to strike the village like fate.

bang!

A villager who had just heard the sound of a bell and ran out was crushed by a magic stone. The woman who watched her limbs fly away screamed and rolled on the floor, and the child of the victim cried out as she clung to the magic stone.

bang!

The head of the livestock protruded from the magic crystal that fell on the barn and rolled on the floor. Is it fortunate that I am not aware of the pain? Since the pieces of meat scattered all over the place made it impossible to distinguish between animals and humans, the father, who had been collecting fragments of his son, was crawling on the floor holding the pig’s head in his arms before he knew it.

bang!

It passed over the watchtower and the roof was ripped off and blown off. The bell fell along with the roof, striking a soldier passing by, and the bell rang in a high pitched voice like a scream. The sound of bells ringing loudly over and over again mixed with earth-shaking plosives, creating a mayhem.

“aaagh!”

“help me! Save me!”

A scream rang out.

Kayberes gasped.

Stauffen did not want to capture this castle.

He just wanted to inflict pain on Kiberes.

He only wanted to make her, who insulted him for being a traitor and eventually degenerated into a traitor, die a more miserable death than anyone else and contribute to the destruction of the kingdom.

“Ahhh… … !”

Caiberes understood Stauffen’s purpose, and could understand that if the villagers surrendered, Stauffen would keep its promise even now. All he wants is to make Kiberes miserable.

Stauffen’s voice rang out.

“Surrender! If you don’t want to die! Hang the head of Kiberes and open the gates! Promise me! I will protect you in the name of the Demon Realm, and even if this kingdom perishes, I will make it possible for you to survive!”

Intimidation through fear.

Right now, I can’t break the magic crystal with this power.

“The moment the magic crystal explodes, it emits concentrated magic energy!”

Magic stones are connected to each commander.

If the Commander arbitrarily disconnects one Magic Stone, it will explode without maintaining its shape.

Along with Stauffen’s voice, black smoke rose from a corner of the town.

A pitch-black puddle spread out, accompanied by a foul smell and nauseating dizziness. The villagers exposed to demonic gas vomited and backed away, and the general store owner, who had lived quite well in the village, was caught up in the magic stone explosion and his face turned blue, and he lowered his head.

There were magic stones everywhere.

Right now, this magic stone could not be destroyed with this force, nor could it be moved anywhere. They will throw magic stones at a faster rate than you can clear them away, and at the same time they will push the soldiers in.

“Only one thing exploded! It is the last warning! Surrender, soldiers! All you have to do is hang the head of Kiberes! You can be freed from this hell! You guys can survive!”

The devil’s whisper resounds. Cayberes was convinced he could not win this fight. Stauffen will destroy this castle with all his might if this negotiation breaks down.

The soldiers’ eyes are changing.

Villagers gather and look at her.

The hand holding the weapon shook, and someone shed tears first.

Kayberes lowered his head.

I wanted to live longer, but it seemed that there were more reasons to die than to live.

“I didn’t ask for your name.”

You must not shed tears.

because she is a soldier

The woman with a cigarette looked at him.

She glanced at Kayberes, then at the cemetery where her husband was buried.

An unfamiliar bouquet of flowers was placed in the graveyard.
