Chapter 429 - Seize the Gigant 4 (1/2)

Grrrng!

Grrrng! – Grrrng!

Near the southern highway leading from the Milton Kingdom to Rakan estates.

Until the start of the civil war, it was a road that was used by the merchants extremely, but currently, troops were moving around.

With hundreds of cavalry moving around and a dozen of trailers, they were a special transport for the Milton Kingdom.

The mission to deliver 50 Knight class Gigants from the Volga Republic as a sign of alliance gift.

‘If we get these there, we can turn over the battle at once?’

The captain of transport, Baron Lovett thought seeing the surrounded Gigants being oiled on the trailers.

According to the news, Milton’s army had stopped their advancement in a town called Batern and was struggling because of the Rakan’s defense forces.

Baron’s brother in law was in the knight’s guard, and because of that, his wife and mother-in-law were worried that something would happen to the kid.

‘I don’t know from where these were bought, but if the Gigant arrives there, the situation will take a 180-degree change. 50 Knight class Gigants are a tremendous amount of power.’

Which was why the nobles wanting for the battle were confident.

Because of the monsters and the bandits, the nation of Milton was an open book, and with all the Gigants being taken to the battlefield created a ruckus.

In fact, there were cases of a few lords stealing Gigants in the night to help their regions.

And because of such situations, Baron Lovett couldn’t sleep at night.

“Speed up everyone! Just a little further, it is the land of Rakan! Our allies are waiting over there!”

At his command, the soldiers sped up their horses.

How long where they on the move?

When a large wagon blocked the road in the middle.

‘What is that? An accident?’

The wagon seemed to have been damaged and a noblewoman was scolding her attendants.

A red-haired noblewoman, who seemed to be in her mid-twenties and was quite a beauty with her slender body.

And because of that, Baron Lovett couldn’t take his eyes off the lady.

Normally, anyone would pretend to be kind to the lady and then try to get the noble lady.

But he was on a very important mission.

So he gave out orders to his lieutenant immediately.

“Go quick and move that wagon.”

“Yes, Baron!”

The lieutenant, who took in strong soldiers, approached the wagon.

But the noblewoman and her party who saw the men approaching them picked up their bows and swords and attacked the lieutenant’s party.

‘Are they crazy?’

When Baron Lovett was shocked, men began to appear from both sides of the road with their bows.

‘What is this? Are they the enemy forces?’

They didn’t seem to be bandits from their clothes.

However, he didn’t have the time to guess who the men were, he had to avoid the incoming arrows.

Shoot!

“Kuak!”

“I, it is an attack!”

Due to the surprise attack, dozens of the troopers fell in an instant.

Baron Lovett who defended himself from the arrows ordered his soldiers.

“Don’t panic! There isn’t much number to the enemies!”

The cavalry hurriedly moved.

However, there was no way to hit the enemy troops who were moving among the trees.

Moreover, the red-haired noblewoman with a bow, the one whom the Baron was struck because of the beauty, was amazing.

She was able to load three to four arrows at a time to shoot the bow, and yet she didn’t miss a single target.

‘A Bow Expert?’

Baron, who wanted to do something, began to use his aura and went towards the red-haired wench on his horse.

Du Du Du Du!

The red-haired lady shot two arrows at baron Lovett who came in towards her.

The horse Baron was on got hit, the Baron managed to block one arrow, but the horse’s leg got hit.

Heeeing!

The horse which got hit rolled on the street.

“Hmm!”

Baron Lovett who jumped from the saddle before the horse fell, struck the sword with a lightning speed at the neck of the woman.

Although she had excellent archery skills, he thought that his attack would be much faster on her.

But, the woman swayed to another side and avoided his attack!

Moreover, she struck arrows right at the Baron.

An arrow aimed right for his face.

The distance between them was so close that the Baron could never avoid it.

“Hohho. Checkmate! The courage was great, but too reckless, Baron Lovett.”

“Keuk, you know my name, who the hell are you?”

“Is there any need for you to know? You are just going to be dead anyway.”

Along with that, she pulled on the bowstring.

‘Dammit, this is the end.’

It was when Baron Lovett closed his eyes with grief.

Swoosh!

An ice arrow came flying in towards the woman.

The moment the woman was surprised, a wizard appeared from the other side of the road and used magic.

Kang! Kwang!

“Dammit, War mage. Run away!”

As the flames broke all over the bush, the enemy’s forces fled.

The red-haired woman with a sad face escaped into the forest.

“Don’t chase them! Stand by your location!”

When the men tried to chase after them, Baron Lovett hurriedly asked them to refrain.

It was dangerous to enter the thick forests with horses.

In addition, when he started on the journey, Viscount Mager said that he should never let the Gigants be alone.

“Are you alright?”

A young War mage, who just used the magic rushed over to Lovett with the mercenaries.

“Thank you for helping me out. I am Baron Shaylon de Lovett who is in charge of the transport. And you?”

“I am Lou, the head of Minerva mercenaries. I am currently employed in the Milton Kingdom army and in charge of the highway.”

“Hm, is that so?”

Currently, for the purpose of resolving the lack of guards and security, the lords were hiring mercenaries saying they would be paid back after the return.

Normally, the monsters or the bandits had to be subdued, but with the King’s army out for invasion, the roads had been guarded by the mercenaries to save power and add troops.

And on the way to Rakan, Baron Lovett saw such mercenaries.

“Who were those men just now? They don’t seem to be any normal group of rouges.”

“Maybe a unit of the Marquis Rakan who infiltrated our nation.”
