Chapter 82
Proofreader: somnium
Bang!
Twenty guns fired all at once.
However, the speed of the rushing Karam group was not slowed down at all.
Rather, as if they were familiar with the sound of the gun, they leaned on their stomach, lowered their height to avoid bullets, and ran with their four arms and two legs.
Karam’s back is covered with pure white fur. So the shape looked as if snow became waves and pouring out.
“Kaha! Kahaho!”
The sound of shouting came through the wind.
Collin, a young knight, breathed in the overbearing form.

He made a merit in the Western Army and was erected as a knight. And he followed Cedric to the north for the first time this year.
He’s experienced enough of the battle with the monsters.
However, this was the first time for Karam.
He learned enough to know that Karam is different from other monsters. However, he turned blue at Karam’s momentum.
Outside of Evron, Karam was just the name of a fierce monster. The same was true in the west.
Collin was imagining something like a bunch of small ogres. Of course, he would be weaker than an ogre.
However, facing Karam face-to-face was fundamentally different.
They could not be mistaken for humans. Karam had four arms and three eyes, and their height was slightly over two meters.
Their dense muscles were tough enough to be called a monster’s. Agility and physical mobility were also more overwhelming than humans’.

Conversely, compared to humans, they were similar enough to find little differences.
No one comes to this world and says that trolls do not resemble humans.
However, there are many people who say Karam is different from humans. Even in the temple.
Karam walked on their two feet and used their hands. Their fur was only on their back and head. They knew how to make tools and use weapons. They developed mines and built farms. They put on clothes.
They were different in the structure of the vocal cords, and they screamed in something that humans could not imitate, and they could not imitate people’s words. However, they communicated via their language.
They lived divided into several tribes, and there was also political conflict between the tribes.
The use of hands was not as sophisticated as humans, and the tactics were simple. However, it was clearly different from the existence that could be called a monster.
Northerners did not think of Karam as a simple monster. There is also barter-level trade. There is also a mixed race between humans and Karam.
But the people in the mainland would not be able to comprehend such things. Although Collin knew about it, this was his first time to see them in person.

Although it resembles a human, the apparently different beings are lying down and running with their four hands and two feet, giving an instinctive sense of rejection and fear.
Another knight tapped the terrified Collin on the shoulder.
“Don’t worry. Have you ever dealt with a direwolf?”
“Yes.”
“It’s weaker than that.”
Those words didn’t wash away his fears.
“Kaha!”
The Karam leader roared and jumped to his feet. The leap distance was quite a few meters.
Cedric was the first to sped up his horse and ran forward, wielding his sword.

Slash!
The leaping Karam’s neck was cut by the sword.
“Alphonse, Ned, Collin, by the carriage!”
Cedric shouted. Three knights were ordered to surround the carriage in a triangle.
The remaining seventeen got off their horses and made the first defending line.
There wouldn’t be any window.
However, the equipment they had now was a hunting gun that they could not afford to reload and a sword on their back. There was no advantage to raising body height over Karam.
While riding a horse, they could be struck by Karam in the face. It was impossible to trample through Karam’s ranks. Mobility is useless. This is because there was the Grand Duchess’ carriage at the back.
Besides, if they lose their horse, it freezes and dies in this snowy field. It is different from leaving a supply unit behind during war.

“Kak, Kaheim!”
Another Karam, who ran for the second time, stood up. And he swung four axes at once.
Cedric pulled the reins. The excellent horse avoided Karam’s ax by mixing back and side steps.
Cedric struck one ax and pierced his sword forward to strike the other with his sword. The Karam’s primitive ax cracked and stuck to the tip of his sword.
He struck the jammed ax with his sword in the face of the surprised Karam. The Karam staggered and swung two axes in his other hand.
Cedric drew his gun with his left hand and used it to strike the Karamgun. And then he drew his sword down.
Slash!
The Karam’s head split and steam rose.
It all happened in an instant.

Thud!
The Karam, who had lost his neck, fell to the ground. The hot blood melted the snow.
Cedric slowly lifted his blood-soaked sword.
The Karam must be attacked first at the captain. Due to the characteristics of the race in which the strongest person becomes the captain, this was an act of showing off his authority and power not only to enemies but also to allies.
In line with that, Cedric also killed two of their leaders, proving that he was the captain.
It was in order to not draw any attention to the carriage behind him by pulling Karam’s gaze.
“Kak!”
The Karams let out a shout.
Cedric got off his horse.

The next moment, both sides got entangled.
Artizea held her trembling hand in the carriage.
She did not know the war.
Cedric once showed her what it was like after the war. But this was the first time she was in the middle of one.
“Argh!”
With a scream, a knight bumped into the carriage. The carriage rattled loudly once.
Subsequently, an ax blade was stuck on the side wall of the carriage.
Artizea tried to stay in the middle of the carriage as much as possible. It was the limit of her ability to hold her breath in order to not scream.
The ax blade soon fell from the carriage wall.

“Kahak!”
This time, there was a flurry that seemed to be breaking the wind.
