Chapter 155 (2/2)
”Why shouldn't it be? That guy wouldn't stop talking. And did you see the general's face? He looks like he's going to cry.”
”I see, although I also saw a lot of worried faces.”
I wonder if the general will be angry with me later?
That day, Gulbaran's army emerged victorious with only a few wounded.
The army continued to advance and we reached one of Rudra's fortresses.
However, a high, thick outer wall surrounded it, preventing the army's entry.
The soldiers used large logs as makeshift siege weapons, sweating as they tried to break through the tightly closed gates.
”How long is this going to last? It's been five hours.”
”That door is tougher than it looks.”
Kaede and I were vaguely observing the situation.
What should we do?
The general, as expected, was tear faced and angry with us after what happened.
We promised to keep quiet and do nothing.
”We're back!”
”Kyu!”
Frau and Panda, who were out scouting, returned.
Now we can find out what's going on inside that fortress.
”There were big holes and half-built buildings beyond the outer wall. I also saw countless people being forced to work.
”How many enemies?”
”About a thousand. And there are also about 20 wyverns.”
So they have 20 wyvern riders, huh?
If they come to attack us, we'll be able to stop them with Rosuke and Frau.
”They still haven't managed to open the door!”
”It's a very sturdy door.”
One of the knights was dejectedly walking towards the general, who looked very angry.
I have no choice.
I will have to do it myself.
”I thought I told you not to do anything.”
”I'm getting tired of standing around watching you.”
”Hmm, it's about time the Lord decided to take matters into his own hands.”
”Kyui!”
I called out to the soldiers and got them to stop banging on the wall.
I'm something of a celebrity among them, if only because of my performance.
”I'll take care of that door, step aside.”
The soldiers started backing away, I stepped in front of the door and got into position to deliver a blow.
”Ha!”
Tumph
With one punch, the door buckled and was sent flying.
The hinges holding the door couldn't withstand the impact and shattered, leaving a clear mark in their place. The door easily flew a distance of over ten meters and bounced off the ground.
”Impossible! The door has been knocked down!?”
Behind the door the demons began to gather.
At the head was a man I recognized from a distance.
It was Bute, one of the three generals of the demon king.
But how? I killed him.
”What the hell is Bute doing here?”
”That's impossible, I killed you.”
”That was my twin brother. I, General Buza, would never be defeated by a mere human like you.”
Oh, so they were twins.
For a moment I had been worried.
I looked up and the wyverns had begun to fly, circling over us like crows aiming for their prey.
”Look up, and you'll see my army of wyverns given to me by Rudra-Sama. They are the greatest hunters in the sky.”
”Rosuke, come out.”
The second I called out Rosuke, a flash of silver light pierced the sky.
The demons and wyverns fell to the ground in pieces.
”My troops… My Wyevens… How did you...?”
Wow, Rosuke, that was great.
It's a hell of a lot faster than before.
Buza gazes at the scene with a pale face.
”Well? Do you surrender?”
”Grr, you're just a mere human. I will kill you with my bare hands. Tremble in fear, for I, the mighty Buza, shall torture yo--”
Frau's hammer hits Buza in the head, causing him to fall to the ground.
”You talk way too much. Just shut up and fight... Oh... Is he dead already?”
Frau's surprise attack had left Buza's lifeless body buried in the ground.
