After a commotion and Karl's explanation, I finally realized that the taste was not poison but the original taste of that thing. Jusina's eyes became colder, and Sanson is laughing to a extent that he can't breathe. What a shame, shame! But why would people want to drink this thing?
Anyway, after the breakfast, we went outside. Sanson is going to buy a horse with Iruril. Karl and I are going to the market. But Iruril felt that we better go together. She also wants to buy something, so she suggested to come with us. I borrowed a wheelbarrow from Jusina, Jusina seems to think that I will break the wheelbarrow, took it out unwillingly.
"Going to the market?"
"Yup."
Jusina's face grew worse, she repressed her anger and said:
"Hum, how unfortunate that I'm going to market too? Follow me!"
"Oh, are you? Great! But are you going alone? This large hostel should need a lot of supply right?"
"Humph! Hick. You can simply make an order. Then they do the shipping."
"Oh? Really?"
Under the guidance of Jusina, we easily found the market. Jusina separated with us once we arrived.
We bought flour, dried meat, bacon, vegetables we can eat tonight, salt and some others. The price level here is really low. Those are cheap prices that can't be imagined in our village. Especially paper is incredibly cheap here. Karl dragged me to buy a lot of paper. Paper should be useful wherever! At least it can be used to record something. I also bought pen and ink. I put them into the barrow and asked happily:
"Why are things so cheap here?"
Karl replied with a smile.
"You should have said things are so expensive in our village. Because merchants don't often enter our village. But Renus City is close to the Hudyne river waterway, it's also a gateway of the Central Avenue, so goods are rich here. Hence of course, the price level will be very low."
"If we eliminated Amurtaat, our village would become a gateway of the Central Avenue too, then there would be much more goods in our villages, prices would become cheaper too, right?"
Karl just smiled quietly. Iruril then said:
"Huchi, the reason you want to eliminate Amurtaat is to get richer and happier? "
"The reason we want to eliminate it is not to be so pathetic."
Iruril seems not to understand what I meant. But I don't want to discuss Amurtaat during this pleasant shopping. How is my dad doing now? He might be locked up in a goblins cave, eating disgusting food. Damn it! While I am here happily shopping for cheap stuffs. Dad, how come your son is like this?
Just when I was thinking of that.
"Ughhhh!"
Screams! Are we in Fief Haltant? The atmosphere of the market suddenly changed. People are escaping crazily.
People are running around here and there. Sanson immediately found the source of the screams.
"There. What's going on?"
"Let's go and see."
Karl ran in front. We continued to hear more screams, and the sound of things falling apart. And the direction we are running to, there are a lot of people fleeing The faces of the people are eclipsed because they are terrified. What happened? Then we saw the things chasing after the people. Damn! I feel like I have experienced the same thing somewhere before.
Three trolls are running over.
"What? Trolls! Why would they appear in a city?"
Sanson hurriedly draw out his sword. People are running around in a panic, but I saw a burly man actually bumped down an old lady in front of him. That old lady fell to the ground and is unable to get up. She seems to have an ankle injury. She is trying her best to stand up, nonetheless she can't because of fear and pain.
"Did you see that happen?"
No, how could that be! In our village, burly guys will come forward to help even if they'll die. In fact, not long ago I experienced the same thing in our village. My body is faster than the my thought.
I stood in front of that guy. He wanted to push me away rudely, but I clutched him and said:
"Hey! Help that old lady!"
"Kid, are you nuts? Are you her grandson?"
"No, I am not her grandson, but you can not do that!"
The man didn't answer and is trying to punch me. This asshole! I grabbed the man's wrist. The man's arm suddenly got blocked, he now looks like his shoulder is falling down. He fell to his knees after screaming stridently.
Although I wanted to punish that man properly, but more urgently I need to punish the trolls. I threw the man away, and then ran to the old lady.
"He - Help!"
That old lady crying for help with tears. The trolls are ferociously running over. I found the troll holding a stone axe making a strike, I grabbed the old lady's feet before her head gets chopped in half, pulled her away. I managed to save the old lady and put her behind me.
"Can you run by yourself?"
That old lady struggled to run. Then I pulled out my bastard sword and blocked the middle of the road. Well, bring it on! Men of Haltant do this! How much time can my life buy? Oh! Who can I tell my last words to now?
"Hey, you monsters, how long you think you need to take to kill me?"
Becuase I have OPG, so I dare to be so fearless. Meanwhile, the old lady has already long gone away.
Fortunately, I still have my reinforcements. Another man of Haltant came and stood by me. Sanson did not say anything, he pulled out his sword and brandished it. The arm of the troll holding a stone ax immediately got stabbed, a wound which bone can be seen is made. Sanson shouted with a low voice:
"I only got one life! So it's very precious! It's unique!"
Good, well done! Nice stab.
"Ah, ha, my unique move 'Unaware Slash'!"
My best and only trick! The troll is subconsciously swinging its stone axes, it got blocked by my first strike, and I chopped its arm off with the second strike.
"Pop!"
That monster hurriedly backed off. But in addition to the one Sanson is dealing with, there is another one trying to attack me from the side. Suddenly a dazzling light flashed in the middle of us.
She's Iruril. Iruril is performing a very rare swordsmanship with her left hand dagger. She's like peeling an apple, raised the dagger and aimed at the troll's arm, effortlessly cut down its arm muscles like dried meat, . How calm do you have to be to perform this move?
"Gahhhh ahhhh!"
That troll staggered backwards. Its wound is regenerating fast. Damn, after all, it's a troll. I have to pass this monster to Iruril, then focus on the one without arm in front of me. That troll's arm hasn't been respawned, but another arm without the stone axe is punching towards me.
"Wow!"
My belly got punched hard. My body is flying backwards. The reason I didn't die is only because of OPG's blessing. Thank you, Tyburn. I almost fainted, but that would then make me die. I stood up after tumbling.
I noticed someone were looking at me. I shouted at them:
"Please help!"
However, when they heard my voice, they were like hearing some kind of signal, wildly turned and ran away, some entered into the next building, and even shut the door. This is really ridiculous! The noise of banging door came one after another.
"Nedval! "
Hearing the voice of Karl, I finally got my mind back. That troll is now charging towards me. It has somehow regenerated its arm, looks like it's going to give me a hug.
"Go to hell!"
I hold the sword body with one hand, clutch the hilt with another hand, then rolled forward. The troll missed its punch, and I got to the trolls' feet. Then I didn't even get a chance to get up, didn't look behind, I waved my arm. I don't know what I just hit.
"Gahhhh!"
Seems like I chopped that guy's inner thigh. I rolled forward, then again stood up. The troll struggled to turn around, we are now face-to-face. I can't give it the opportunity to regenerate!
"Unaware Slash - Sideways!"
I am spinning my bastard sword horizontally, and spinning my body. But this time I knelt down after I finished a lap. The second slash I chopped very low to tilt my waist backward, this time I hit the troll's feet. Don't you run fast! I immediately straighten my knees and waist and spin again. I can feel that my ankles are broken, but I still managed to jump forward, successfully made my third strike.
The troll's head flew away. Then I directly bumped into the troll's body with no head on it. The troll finally fell down, its blood sprayed into my mouth. Wow! Damn. And I don't know the condition my ankles. I held the pain of my ankles, stamped on the troll's corpse. I then looked at the situation around.
Sanson is dueling with one troll, he made thousands of wounds on its body with his ogre-like strength. If it is a human, one of those wounds could be fatal. But the troll is stilling swinging its stone ax to force Sanson to step backward, in order to allow itself to regenerate its body. On the other end, Iruril is dodging around easily, moving between the back and side of the troll, but definitely not battling with it face-to-face. Whenever the troll tried to attack sideways, Iruril would cut its arm with her dagger, or stab it exposed waist or back with her estoc. But for trolls, wounds can be regenerated even they were made by Sanson's long sword, not to mention those by estoc. Those are just tiny wounds. Who should I help first?
I was thinking and stood up unconsciously. I feel serious pain on my ankles, almost felt to the ground.
"Hmm...."
Karl thought we were coming to the market for shopping, so he doesn't have his longbow, he hurriedly came to hold me. I grabbed Karl's shoulder, looked around angrily. Such a big city, with majestic buildings and wide roads that our village wouldn't ever have, why I can't even find one person? I really don't see anyone.
However, when I looked upward, I found on the second floor and the third floor there are people watching. Looking closely, every windows there are people looking at us.
Disgusting.
"Uh ahhhhhhh!"
I waved my sword, jumped a step forward. There's a troll with its back in front of me, it is chasing after Iruril. I lifted my foot, then jumped up with another foot without any hesitation. I turned the blade downward, stabbed the bastard sword into the troll's back.
"Galalalallaa!"
"Ahhhhh!"
I used all my strength to pull the sword down, I feel like something keep hitting my sword, and then suddenly, the feeling on my hands was gone, the sword is now outside the troll's body. The sword actually went through the troll's waist. It immediately fell forward. I stood on the troll's back, began to stab on it.
"Uh ah! Uh ah! Uh ahhhhhhhhhh!"
I don't know how many strikes I did. The back and neck of the troll have completely turned into minced meat, its blood is all sprayed on my body. Finally, I grabbed the head of the trolls. Because there is no hair, my fingers penetrated into the capsule. Because it's waist was completely destroyed by me, I pulled up only its upper body, and then cut its neck with my bastard sword . I then threw it to the side.
Iruril wasn't looking at me, she is still calm. She has begun to help Sanson. Iruril from behind barbed the troll's knee from behind, forcing the troll to knee down. Sanson then split troll's head into two halves. Bone and blood are all around. But Sanson and Iruril still have their bodies clean, I am the only one who is completely covered with blood, there is even flesh on my face and hands. I am still sitting on that troll.
Sanson approached and held out his hand. I grabbed his hand and stood up. My foot is still hurt and I almost fell, but Sanson held me.
"Feet injured?"
"Sprained. It doesn't matter."
"Luckily, we don't have any serious injuries."
"But aren't there any guards in this damn city?"
"Maybe it takes a while for them to mobilize."
I blankly looked around. The windows of surrounding buildings started opening. Then people started coming out. Now you come out! Ha! Are you going to help now? Those people are frowning and trying to block the blood with their feet to prevent it from flowing to their doors, they are even wiping those blood and flesh off the walls and doors angrily. I looked at the scene.
"Sanson, let's get back. Hurry."
"Hurry?"
"If we stay here any longer, I may kill some persons."
Sanson nodded silently. I began to walk forward under the arm of Sanson. Karl pushed the cart over. And Iruril came over, started to wipe the blood off my face with her handkerchief
"It doesn't matter, Iruril. It's not easy to clean anyway."
"You can walk only when your eyes can see, isn't it? Okay... Now your face look better."
"Thank you. I'll definitely buy you a new handkerchief."
Iruril didn't answer, just smiled. The road to the hostel is really damn long. When I think of walking there with this foot, my eyes goes yellow. Legs injury is not a trivial thing. Only one injured leg makes it so troublesome and inconvenient, not to mention Tyburn who is blind, he must be more frustrated. Tyburn! If you were here, you must be able to cleanly and simply get rid of those trolls. And we wouldn't have to see such a disgusting scene.
"Mr Nedval?"
Who is that? Who is calling me so brusquely? I parted away the bloody hair attached to my face, in order to find out who is in front.
"Oh, the Mighty Noble Lady!"
Jusina in a corner of the market is looking at me with a frightened face. I don't care what she wanted to say and said.
"I won't dirty the hostel with this blood. If that happens, I will be clean that up by myself."
"Ah, no, Huchi, ah.... I understand. "
I don't understand what she is talking about. Jusina swiftly ran away. Hmmf! She looks that she doesn't want to get stained by the blood so she ran back to the hostel. I looked back a bit and saw my footprints on the road. Bright red footprints. Footprints linked up. With such obvious red footprints, even not well-trained soldiers can easily track me down!
My footprints, really? That's my footprint.
So dizzy.
※ ※ ※
Huchi, Sanson and Karl started their journey to the capital.
So the Magical Autumn of them begins...

Chapter One: Riding Towards the Dawn (Pt.10)
Whistles. Whistles.
I'm on the way to the castle to see Deacon Hamel. I've made one hundred candles, but that is only my hedge, I don't know how much actually they need. Of course, I can't keep making unconditionally, so I must see Deacon Hamel, or the never met "Operational Commander". But I don't want to recklessly talk to the combatant commanders directly, so it's better for me to find Deacon Hamel to ask them for me.
Whistles. Whistles.
And in addition, I have something else to do. Dad practiced his spear for just two days, now he is lying on his bed, this should also be reported to them. This is definitely not caused by me, I didn't beat him. It's because Dad practiced too hard, so his limbs began to ache. I didn't even try to say anything to comfort him though.
Whistles. Whistles.
Looks like every time I came to the village main road, the atmosphere here would change, this time I see a lot of vehicles around. Besides my candles, there should be a variety of items need to be prepared for a war. A famous tale said: As Zypern soldiers didn't prepare spoons and knifes, so they starved to death. Of course, I guess in Zypern they must have the same story, only the name of the protagonist would be changed to Vyseus soldiers. How could there be such an idiot army in the world.
Whistles. Whistles.
Although it's just my guess, but the most troublesome one in all the items should be Cathselprime's food. According to news came from the castle, Cathselprime eats five cattle for a meal. Really nonsense. Our thane has just totally ten cattle. If she eats like this, then cattle in our village has probably already extincted. Looking at the passing carriages, they should be carrying a lot of meat. The mint added to the meat inside should be the numerous too? Hehe.
Whistles. Screams.
"What...What the...?"
Because of the sudden screams, I had to stop whistling. The screams are coming from the rear. I quickly turned my head. I see people hastily running, behind there is a woman seriously injured, supported by some men and stumbling forward. One of the men found that this doesn't look good so he put the woman on his back and started to run. The remaining three men then quickly turn back.
I carefully went over and watched. But one of the men saw me.
"Hey, what are you doing! Quickly escape, run!"
"What happned?"
"I don't have time to explain to you, Go! Ah! Go to find the soldiers!"
The man turned away again. At the moment, I knew what happened, but also realized that these men are already ready to die. I turned around and ran into a shop beside.
"Shit! Bring this!"
I found some rakes and pickaxes from the blacksmith shop, threw them to the men. When those farm tools fell to the ground and bounced, they issued harsh noises. Those men smiles and picked up the tools. Whenever this happens, the people of our village would shout a line, and I shouted as usual.
"Any last words?"
Hearing what I said, I myself winced. In fact it's the first time I shouted that. These men showed a face that looks like they want to praise me, smiled and said:
"I've already said, so no. That woman injured is my wife!"
"Please tell Sophia, I am sorry, I cannot comply my promise to her."
"Tell Jack, as what we agreed, tell him please take care of my mom."
These men said quickly. I nodded, then ran away without looking back.
It should be a monster invasion. But what kind of monster is it? Ah, almost forgot! Tell Sophia no way to comply, I am sorry. Tell Jack, take care of his mother as agreed. The man might previously agreed with Jack , who shall die first, another has to take care of each other's mother. I suddenly found that I don't know their names yet. But it doesn't matter. Wait until the end of the incident, if I'm not dead, I will keep hearing their names, to an annoying extent. I don't want to see these people's families shouting their names.
Shit!
Amurtaat, it all because of you, Amurtaat, it's all your fault!
What, you said it's because of Amurtaat, so the survivors here are strong? Damn, stop kidding! You said because we have been psychologically ready for death at any time, so we can smile in the last minute, this is called strong? This is simply worthless!
"Uh, ah!"
I almost slowed down my pace because of the dying screams coming from behind, even to a point that knees are numb and can not run. But no. I am dead if I don't run. I was almost like leaning on the ground to run. At this time;
The soldiers started to move, Haley is helping Turner whose leg is injured. Turner probably just lost his tension, and began to moan. Tyburn said:
"A soldier is hurt? Bring him to me."
Sanson showed a bewildered face, but still obediently took Turner over. Tyburn allowed Turner to sit down and began searching on his body. His hands wavered quickly, and finally stopped on the wound on Turner's leg.
"Here right."
Tyburn just said. But a moment later, Tyburn's hands flashed a little light, then Turner's wound stopped bleeding. After cleaning the blood, there is no more wound on Turner's leg.
Sanson is half amazed, half scared, anyway, using a strange face looking at Tyburn.
"Ah, thanks, thank you, Tyburn."
"You're welcome, this is not anything terrific, don't put it on your mind. Although the wound has been healed, within a few days, you have to avoid doing intense actions."
"Ah, okay. Really appreciate it ..."
Tyburn raised his hand, tried to touch Jamini's face. But she doesn't seem to feel it, is still sitting there. I am worried to a unbearable extent. Tyburn said:
"Your girlfriend?"
"Don't ask useless questions, can you help?"
"If she is your girlfriend, it would be easier."
"Huh?"
"Traditionally isn't there a way, to wake a fainted girl?"
"...Are you saying a sleeping girl?"
"Fainting or sleeping are both OK. "
Tyburn made me bothered. "Do I have to kiss Jamini? Although Tyburn can't see..." However, after he giggled a few times, moved his fingers in front of Jamini eyes and snapped for a few times, Jamini stopped burping, began to moan.
"Hmm.... Ahh! Trolls!"
What I completely can't understand is, how did Jamini precisely bypassed Tyburn in front of her, jumped into my arms.
I'm on the way to the castle to see Deacon Hamel. I've made one hundred candles, but that is only my hedge, I don't know how much actually they need. Of course, I can't keep making unconditionally, so I must see Deacon Hamel, or the never met "Operational Commander". But I don't want to recklessly talk to the combatant commanders directly, so it's better for me to find Deacon Hamel to ask them for me.

"Uh, ah!"
I almost slowed down my pace because of the dying screams coming from behind, even to a point that knees are numb and can not run. But no. I am dead if I don't run. I was almost like leaning on the ground to run. At this time;
"Watch out! Huchi!"
I could see something. Weird. Is is because of my tears? What is that thing?
"Sanson!"
I dodged to one side. Sanson pulled his arm to his back, running towards me, and then shot a javelin. Now I clearly see him that because the large momentum, he continued to move forward unsteadily for a few steps. The javelin is flying with terrible speed.
A sound came. A sound of piercing something. A sound of javelin piercing through the flesh and blood.
"Ga lahh lahhhhh!"
Strange screams. That is not a human. I sat on the ground and looked back, I saw a huge body, but my view was immediately blocked. Sanson charged towards that body and stab its belly with his long sword. Above Sanson's shoulder, I can see a broader shoulder and a strange helmet, and a terrifying stone ax aloft. That is a troll. Although the troll's mouth is bleeding, its raised his arm is still violently blowing downwards. But with the stone ax it can never touch Sanson who is already close to its chest, so the troll's action becomes ridiculous. And because of this, the two of them are still close together, and Sanson continued to push forward.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Sanson pushed his sword into the troll body again and continued to forge. The troll's ax fell to the ground, it continued to get pushed hardly. Sanson who has his sworded plugged in the monster, now really gives me a feeling that he has no difference from an Ogre. After about 20 cubits, Sanson pushed his arms violently. Due to the acceleration of the running, the sword is pulled off from the troll, the troll rolled to the ground. In order to stop the troll from regenerating, Sanson chopped its neck several times, then quickly wiped off the flesh and blood on his face, and then looked at me.
"How many are there? "
"I don't know!"
"Then hide quickly!"
I got up and looked at Sanson with a squat posture. Sanson is only looking at the front. Why is he alone? What are his men doing? When I am thinking of this question, a group of people flocked in front of me. It is a group of soldiers. Their presence seems to refute my earlier idea. That six soldiers are standing around Sanson. Sanson said immediately:
"Trolls. One left... Damn! More! "
A lot of trolls appeared in front. Some not them are not holding stone axes. Pickaxe, shovel, rake. Didn't I throw these things to those men? Damn! I rudely rubbed my eyes.
A total of nine trolls appeared. After they saw the soldiers in front of them, they immediately stopped advancing, formed a line in their position. Temporarily entered the confrontation, Sanson seems to be worried. Start to gang fight? The figures are 9 to 7. It's a bit adverse, but still worth a try. However, it not necessary to do this.
"Retreat!"
The soldiers turned back and began to run without looking back. What! I can only hurry up and escape. I can understand the idea of Sanson. Yes we might win, but it would certainly be a large number of casualty. The number of soldiers of our village is often insufficient, once someone died it's very difficult to fill the position again. So he intended to lure those monsters, until the soldiers in the castle join.
Although the trolls were a bit panic, but when they saw the humans in front began to escape, they started to chase instinctively.
"Gah lah lah! Ji ahhh"
I am also running instinctively. The footsteps of the soldiers and the cries of the trolls behind are almost driving me crazy, I suddenly feel like fire is burning inside my chest. Fingertips started losing feeling, and also I can't feel my feet on the ground. But the strange thing is my legs are still moving.
"Ouch!"
I bumped into something and rolled on the ground for a while. Oh, what is this guy looking at, actually not escaping under this situation, and bumped into me? I only know a person who is that stupid.
That is...
"Jamini!"
Jamini seems didn't find herself fallen. After she screamed, she is just watching the trolls rushing in. Hic. Hic. What? Hiccuping?
Jamini is hiccuping, while sitting there blankly. Gu!
"Get up! Hey, you girl, wake up!"
I forcibly pulled Jamini up. God, is she this heavy? Jamini lost all her strength, It's not simple to pull up a paralyzed person like this, I almost fell forward, finally got Jamini up. At this moment, I made an eye contact with Sanson, said tragically:
"Please take care of Jamini. My last words are, although you've been bullied me since I was born, however..."
Whack! Ouch, my head! Sanson charged to the trolls and shouted:
"Just a little boy, why imitate such a thing!"
Whack! Whack! Whack! Whack! Whack! Whack!
Looks like I will not be killed by a troll, but by them... when the remaining six soldiers passed by me, each of them slapped my head. The soldiers all ran to the trolls. Just run, why slap me?
Because I was slapped badly, so my arm strength naturally relaxed, Jamini then gently slipped down. I am alarmed, again pulled up Jamini. A melee battle is playing in front of us, how could she abuse me like this? This clearly is an abuse. I am snorting, trying to get Jamini on my back, but that just makes me realize that, putting a 17-year-old paralyzed girl on the back alone is not easy. Then suddenly someone from behind helped to lift Jamini, he touched my back, then correctly carried Jamini to the appropriate position.
"Ah, thanks....ah!"
It is not funny, that who lifted Jamini is actually the man who wears a black robe, and is full of tattoos. He is the wizard named Tyburn. His eyes couldn't see, how did he help to lift Jamini? Ah, he touched my back. Tyburn's white eyeballs are moving, quickly said:
"Are they trolls? "
"Yes, you, you are a wizard right? You quickly blow those monsters away! "
"I've heard this voice. You are the blind young man with fine eyes on that day, right? Hey, Huchi, you need to know, you must be able to see, in order to do something like blowing those monsters away."
"Damn! What's the use of this kind of wizard..."
"What about you be my eyes."
I don't want to let Jamini fall, so staggered to find my balance, and then said:
"What did you say?"
"Distance and direction. Fast! "
What do that do? But then a scream came again.
"Uh!"
The leg of one of the soldiers was hit by the iron rake and he fell. That is the eldest one of the brewery's four brothers, Turner. The troll hit him raised its iron rake aloft. Sanson who was blocking a stick of another troll immediately slided his long sword, stabbed the shoulder of the troll taking the iron rake. Turner took the advantage of the troll's wound and stood up. He again grabbed his sword, cried out:
"The price of me, Turner's life, is three lives of you!"
At the moment I am panicked, I don't know what to do. At this time Tyburn said:
"I've got the direction. Sound really bad. Distance? "
"A....About thirty cubits, but the two sides are mixed..."
"OK!"
Tyburn correctly raised a hand towards the direction where the trolls and the soldiers are fighting. Within a glance, the tattoos on his arm started to emit light. What's going on? The tattoo light became stronger and stronger, after a while, even the tattoos on his neck and cheek started to shine.
Tyburn smiled and said:
"I engraved incantations on my body, use the body as a spell book. You are watching a rare thing."
"What, what?"
Tyburn didn't answer, but began to mutter some strange words that I can't understand. Although I don't know what that is, he read really fast. Won't him bite his own tongue? He suddenly waved his arm upwards to the sky and shouted:
"Detect Metal."
"Protect from Magic."
"Reverse Gravity!"
"Woo ah ah ah!"
"Gah lahhhhh?!"
Thanks to my scared ass fell to the ground, Jamini fell down also. Even the soldiers are all panic, then trolls that got directly hit by the spell, how panic are they?
The trolls are suddenly floating upwards. The soldiers did not float at all. Tyburn can't see, how did he do that? However, three of the trolls did not float also.
Those trolls are showing a panic expression (Maybe, to be honest, I am not confident enough to say that I can correctly describe the expression of trolls) looking at their partners flying to the sky. Sanson is also showing an expression of surprised, although his expression did not disappear, he still started to charge towards the remaining three trolls. The trolls wanted to stop Sanson with the shovel and pickaxe on their hands, but those are not even weapons, so they are a bit slow. Sanson's sword cleverly bounced away the shovel, the shovel then blocked the pickaxe, Sanson took the chance and slashed the belly of the monster with the pickaxe. Then the soldiers recovered from the surprise all joined the battle. The rest of the trolls are still flying up... The troll with the iron rake was stabbed by four long swords simultaneously, fell to the ground and squirting blood. The soldiers kept blunting those evil-look, fallen trolls. Flesh and blood splashed everywhere, stained on the faces of the soldiers. This is not because of their hatred, but because killing these trolls which can regenerate, you must continue until they completely expire.
Now Tyburn is still holding his hand towards the sky. He asked with a surprised expression:
"Why? Failed? Why I can still hear the sound of fighting?"
I continued to sit on the ground and said:
"Ah, most of them are flying, but three did not fly."
"Three? What are they holding with their hands? "
"Huh? Ah, pickaxe, rake, shovel..."
Then I understand.
The monsters with metal weapons didn't fly, all flying are hodling troll special weapons stone axes. The soldiers are holding swords, wearing armor, so they are holding metal weapons. Tyburn used another hand he didn't lift to hit his own head, said:
"Aye, why didn't I think of that! Speaking of trolls, I thought they only got stone axes. How is it now? The remaining three?"
"All, all are down."
"Then it's fine. Dear soldiers, please come over here."
The soldiers began to back off with the expression of fear, then Tyburn put down his raised arm. Now the trolls who are already in a very high attitude started falling. When I was talking to Tyburn, the trolls had flown to the height which is no longer visible, so the falling would take a lot of time.
"Gah lah lahhhh!!!!"
Whack! Pop! Pop! Whack!Whack!Whack!Whack, Pop!
I don't even want to describe the scene. I was terrified, I hardly managed to cover Jamini's eyes. So I had no way to cover my own. Oh Idiot! Just close my eyes would be fine? But before I could think of it, the trolls broken limbs pieces have already splashed all over the place. If they are now this fragmented, they won't be able to use their regenerate ability. Tyburn laughed.
"This sounds really loud. Ha. Sometimes blind is a good thing."
Sanson with an awe face came over and greeted him. Sanson found that Tyburn is a blind man, however he still bowed faithfully. His voice also trembled a little.
"I, I am Sanson Percival. I am the... the Guard Captain of Heltant Fief. This wizard is..."
"Tyburn. I am a wanderer. Things ended?"
"Huh, huh?"
"Any more monsters?"
"Ah!"
Sanson quickly turned and said:
"Search if there are any more trolls invaded! Should be in the granary. Check the warehouse in the village, check the farms on the outskirts! And Haley, take care of Turner. "
The soldiers started to move, Haley is helping Turner whose leg is injured. Turner probably just lost his tension, and began to moan. Tyburn said:
"A soldier is hurt? Bring him to me."
Sanson showed a bewildered face, but still obediently took Turner over. Tyburn allowed Turner to sit down and began searching on his body. His hands wavered quickly, and finally stopped on the wound on Turner's leg.
"Here right."
Tyburn just said. But a moment later, Tyburn's hands flashed a little light, then Turner's wound stopped bleeding. After cleaning the blood, there is no more wound on Turner's leg.
Sanson is half amazed, half scared, anyway, using a strange face looking at Tyburn.
"Ah, thanks, thank you, Tyburn."
"You're welcome, this is not anything terrific, don't put it on your mind. Although the wound has been healed, within a few days, you have to avoid doing intense actions."
"Ah, okay. Really appreciate it ..."
"Why don't you listen! I have already cured him, why are you still here and not to perform your tasks! What are you doing here? Do you want stay here, until all the people get killed by the trolls?"
"Yes!"
The scared Sanson paid him a salute. The soldiers then scattered away hastily.
"Hey, we should also go and see? Please take me to the granary."
Tyburn seems to want to follow the soldiers. I grabbed Tyburn.
"Well, Tyburn, this girl also seems strange."
"Well?"
I pointed to the one who was dropped on the ground by me and then kept sitting on the ground, burping with a blank face, Jamini. But I immediately remembered that Tyburn can't see, so I then explained to him in words.
"Not long ago she saw the trolls charging in, then she began to sit still there and just kept burping. As if her soul has flown to somewhere."
Tyburn jeered.
"So you know it well? Right. Her soul has run away."
"What should we do?"
"Yes!"
The scared Sanson paid him a salute. The soldiers then scattered away hastily.
"Hey, we should also go and see? Please take me to the granary."
Tyburn seems to want to follow the soldiers. I grabbed Tyburn.
"Well, Tyburn, this girl also seems strange."
"Well?"
I pointed to the one who was dropped on the ground by me and then kept sitting on the ground, burping with a blank face, Jamini. But I immediately remembered that Tyburn can't see, so I then explained to him in words.
"Not long ago she saw the trolls charging in, then she began to sit still there and just kept burping. As if her soul has flown to somewhere."
Tyburn jeered.
"So you know it well? Right. Her soul has run away."
"What should we do?"
Tyburn raised his hand, tried to touch Jamini's face. But she doesn't seem to feel it, is still sitting there. I am worried to a unbearable extent. Tyburn said:
"Your girlfriend?"
"Don't ask useless questions, can you help?"
"If she is your girlfriend, it would be easier."
"Huh?"
"Traditionally isn't there a way, to wake a fainted girl?"
"...Are you saying a sleeping girl?"
"Fainting or sleeping are both OK. "
Tyburn made me bothered. "Do I have to kiss Jamini? Although Tyburn can't see..." However, after he giggled a few times, moved his fingers in front of Jamini eyes and snapped for a few times, Jamini stopped burping, began to moan.
"Hmm.... Ahh! Trolls!"
What I completely can't understand is, how did Jamini precisely bypassed Tyburn in front of her, jumped into my arms.
