The Otherworld Conquest Method of a Reincarnated Porter Chapter 28 Part 2
Outside, five knights, including the coachman, dismount from their horses and draw their swords. Two of them guard the left and right sides of the carriage, and three of them cut off the heads of Orban’s gang one after another. The gang doesn’t stand a chance at all. The three knights send one head after another flying without much difficulty. But if you look closely, you can see arrows stuck in the shoulders of the knights.
The moment one of the knights decapitates a man who has fallen on the ground and is begging for his life, an arrow pierces his back. So good. There is one very skilled archer. They shoot their arrow aiming exactly at the moment when the knight is about to finish the man off with his sword. Moreover, they can pierce through the plate armor, so they probably imbue their arrows with magical energy. Perhaps they are a Magic Archer, a superior job of archer.
The three knights on the left side of the carriage have several arrows stuck in their bodies. Unless they do something about the archer on the left side of the mountain, won’t they end up being suppressed by sheer force of numbers?
However, the knights are frighteningly strong. All attacks except for the arrows are blocked by their plate armor, and their attacks kill their opponents with a single blow. The area around the carriage has turned into a pandemonium. There must be at least 20 dead bodies with their heads separated.
Orban, who is taking command, looks down on the battle from a place a little further up the mountain with a composed look on his face.
「Good! Stop attacking for now! Vanguard, focus on defending yourself. We have all the time in the world.」
The knights are totally exhausted. There are even some who are on their knees. Meanwhile, arrows fly from the right side of the mountain and pierce the knights. It seems that the archer has moved to the other side of the mountain. With this, all the knights have been hit by arrows. I have nothing but bad feelings about this.
「Listen well, just focus on buying time! The poison will soon kick in, after all!」
As expected, the knights who are falling to their knees are not because of fatigue, but because the poison is taking effect, huh. High-level knights should be able to use healing magic. The detoxification healing magic requires a great deal of concentration, it is difficult to use in the midst of battle.
After discussing among themselves, the three knights move away from the carriage, run up the mountains on either side, and slaughter the enemies one after another. It seems that as opposed to wasting time, they are intending to swiftly bring the battle to a conclusion. Looking at the flow of magical energy, they are slaying enemies while applying healing magic to themselves. It consumes a lot of magical energy, so they have probably prepared themselves for death.
「Boys, one big gold coin for anyone who lands a blow! Look, the poison is taking effect on them. It’s first come, first served.」
The sound of sword clashes echoes through the mountains, unseen from the carriage. Despite the fact that so many of their comrades have been killed, the Orban gang’s fighting spirit doesn’t seem to have waned at all. What is it that drives them to madness, I wonder? A single blow is one large gold coin. That is about one million Japanese yen. For those living in the commoner district, this might be a sum worth dying for.
After a while, his underlings raise a cry of victory.
「I did it! I killed the knight! I put an end to him!」
「You fools! I inflicted a fatal wound on him too, you know?!」
「Wait! I’m the one who made him fall! You guys merely put your sword through him, didn’t you?!」
「Hold on a sec! The fight isn’t over yet! Five large gold coins for each of you who is still alive! And I’ll give twenty to those who kill the remaining two knights! Go on now, guys, first come, first served!」
「「「Uoooooooooooh!」」」
It seems that the three knights have ended up being killed. All that is left are the two knights guarding the left and right sides of the carriage and Astor.
About fifteen people come down from the mountain and surround the two knights. The knights are using healing magic, but their movements are dull. Even so, there is a clear difference in strength, and they cut off one head after another.
That Orban guy, even if they do get the money, can they still make it as a crime syndicate if so many of his underlings die? It totally looks as if he is forcing them to fight to the death on purpose.
Except for a few who are ready to run away, all the underlings seem to have been slain by the knights. Outside of the carriage, the state is exactly the so-called heaps of corpses all around. The two knights managed to survive somehow and are guarding both sides of the carriage. Rather than protecting it, it could also be said that they are keeping watch to make sure I do not escape. The enemy is Orban, some of his underlings, and then an archer hiding in the mountains.
「I ask you to never leave the carriage, Kars-sama.」
「But of course. I’m level 1 and my job is a non-combat one, you know? Even if you tell me to go out, there’s no way I would ever go out, is there?!」
Saying so, Astor then dismounts from the carriage and instructs the knights outside. An arrow flies at Astor, but he dodges it and runs up the mountain. Did he intentionally let the arrows fly at him to find out the other party’s position? Quite the courageous move. The knights rest for a while on both sides of the carriage, but then Orban slowly comes down from the mountain with his axe on his shoulder. He shows no faintest sign of fear in the face of the knights. I faced him at the tavern, and I could sense that he was quite a skilled fighter. And then, at that moment, Orban goes and cuts off the heads of his remaining underlings, effectively killing them all. I don’t get it at all. Orban then walks toward the carriage.
The two knights show no sign of moving from either side of the carriage. They seem to be keeping watch to make sure I don’t run away, but I don’t think they stand a chance against Orban in a one-on-one battle.
「Oi, that man is strong, you know? A single knight is no match for him. You won’t be able to beat him unless you two face him together, you know?」
「I was instructed by Astor-sama to protect this place. I cannot move.」
Damn, the knight is faithful to his orders. Is the other knight that is facing Orban strong? Appraisal!
Hagills Kaibonan, Age 41, Level 26
Job: Magic Knight
Orban, Age 38, Level 18
Job: Mad Warrior
Which one is stronger? As the two of them glare at each other, Hagills’s sword, imbued with weapon enhancement, moves towards Orban first. Hagills tries to swing his sword down from his upper right. At that moment, Orban moves forward with instant step and blocks the base of Hagills’s sword with the gauntlet on his left arm. Hagills’ sword loses half its power. Orban’s gauntlet is shattered, but his body is in close contact with Hagills’, making it Orban’s maai. Orban swings down his weapon enhancement-imbued red-iron axe. It must be quite pure. This time, Hagills blocks it with his shield, but he is easily knocked out of position and gets the top of his shoulder cut wide open by the follow-up attack. What a tremendous offensive power. Looks like it is a fool’s errand to compete in strength against a mad warrior.
