Guild Boss's Ambition

If you don't have the awareness of being blunted by wood, the axe will never be able to cut into the tree.

Without the desperado's philosophy, no adventure can be an adventure, and no charge can be a charge.

Therefore, I forgot about what was behind me and just looked towards the other side of the enemy camp!

"Just kill them all."

25. Pawn (Luke)

(Luke)

There are two types of people who go on the battlefield.

One is the enlightened person, and the other is the unenlightened person.

I see……

I am one of those people who are not aware...

I was not mentally prepared to step onto the battlefield at all...

However, despite this, I was still chosen by President Ehard as one of the spearheads of the charge, and was inhumanely placed in the first place next to Miss Raftan. The reason for being chosen was probably because I was too honest when answering the president's questions, and I actually confessed that in addition to my weapons, I also brought a heavy spear.

So, I got the following instructions.

"When charging, don't worry about anything else, just hold your spear horizontally and charge forward."

"If you follow my instructions, you will have a chance to survive—"

Even though President Ehard told me that I would have a chance to survive, and even though I could hear the sounds of fighting in the battlefield ahead from afar, my heart was already filled with the despair of a weak person. No matter how hard I tried, I was only a black bronze level. If a useless person like me ran into those high elves who regarded human life as worthless, I would probably not be able to survive even a single encounter, right?

I don't want to die.

I am clearly ready to embrace a happy life, so why do I still have to step into this dangerous battlefield?

I have irrigated my fields with my hard work, why should war trample upon my harvest?

I didn't want to die, but President Ehard raised the assault axe.

She said: "Now, the time to make a decision has come—"

In order to survive, I had to make a choice.

But the fact is, life doesn't give me the choice.

Even though I didn't pull the reins, the horse under me followed the lead horse on its own initiative. The moment the charge began, my mind went blank. In front of me was a densely packed army of countless people, and in my ears was the sound of horses trampling and shouting. I stared with my eyes wide open, but it seemed as if I could see nothing.

The enemy's silhouette gradually enlarged in my eyes──

From a distance, I was able to slowly see their individual faces.

They are high elves with pointed ears, fair skin, tall, well-proportioned and powerful bodies.

They are the best race in the world.

Their archers drew their bows to their full length and unleashed a barrage of piercing arrows upon us.

"Get ready! Watch out for the rain of arrows!"

"Find a way to stop them yourself!"

"Protect the vital points! Protect the vital points! Wow!"

A terrible rain of arrows accompanied by sharp sounds of breaking wind rained down on our team. I had never been taught how to deal with this situation. When I went out on adventures, I rarely encountered enemies using bows and arrows. Most of the time, they targeted some weak monsters. The few times I encountered arrows were when I was on a goblin subjugation mission.

Goblin arrows and high elf arrows are two completely different concepts.

I looked at the arrow that was about to fall, and President Ehard's words were still in my mind.

"When charging, don't worry about anything else, just hold your spear horizontally and charge forward."

So, I held the spear horizontally and let go of everything.

Rustle, rustle, rustle! Rustle, rustle, rustle!

Whistle, rustle, rustle!

Rustle, rustle, rustle! Rustle, rustle, rustle!

Three waves of arrows rained down in succession, and my shoulders and thighs were full of arrows. At the same time, I heard the screams of people falling off their horses. If you fall to the ground during this charge, you will almost certainly be trampled to death by the horses behind you. In order not to become the next unfortunate person to fall off the horse, everyone can only step on the corpses of the people in front of them and continue to move forward -

"Pull out the arrows from your body, and I will heal your wounds!"

"There won't be another wave of arrows! Prepare for the impact!"

After the rain of arrows, Miss Raftan held high the cross sword in her hand, which continuously reflected the sun's light. The light turned into feather-like fluttering rain and gently fell on all of us, making our bodies slowly feel a little comfortable and stable. After I pulled out the arrows, the bleeding wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, my heart did not find peace because of this.

The High Elves were already very close, so close that I could clearly see the expressions on their faces. From their equipment, it was not difficult to tell that they were all archers lined up in the rear, and apart from bows and arrows, they only had a standard long sword.

In this moment, I witnessed a scene that I had never imagined myself.

The high elves standing in front of us actually showed expressions of fear.

As invaders, they also have feelings of fear?

Unbelievable──

Why do they insist on invading our homeland when they would be afraid if their own lives were threatened?

Is God's will really that important?

"For the eternal future of the world!!!"

The lightly armored high elves shouted wildly before we charged. They each drew out their long swords engraved with gorgeous patterns and charged towards us on foot. The orderly and grand killing sounds and momentum immediately frightened me, but I was more confused and puzzled.

"Why do we have to have this war?"

No one answered me, the answer seemed too far away from us all.

President Ehard, who was leading us, had already placed his battle axe as a chessboard in the air.

cut!

She killed the first enemy with her own hands, and blood splattered on my face.

The temperature of the blood trembled every pore of my body.

If I don't do something, I will be the owner of that blood.

"Charge forward with your spear held high..."

"Charge forward with your spear held high..."

"Charge forward with your spear raised high!!!"

I kept shouting to my heart, holding the spear horizontally to the right of the horse. President Ehad in front of me was very brave, and there were always enemies who were afraid of her sharpness and missed my side. I didn't have to aim and stab anyone, the inertia of the horse and the spear would pick up my enemies on the battlefield, and all I had to do was throw their bodies back to the ground and let the horses trample them.

The enemies are not all weak. There are also enemies who know how to fight back. When our charge penetrated the outer archers, the enemy's strength became more and more obvious. At some point, President Ehard in front of us was already covered in blood. Both she and her mount were constantly suffering from varying degrees of injuries. After being injured, Miss Raftan, who was guarding her on both sides, would immediately heal her injuries. As long as the president was still conscious, the paladin would allow her to continue charging.

but……

Although the strong can bear a lot...

But the strong can never bear everything...

In the middle of the charge, a lightning spear thrown from the chaotic army pierced through President Ehard's abdomen. President Ehard, who was hit by the spear, immediately fell to the left. In the critical moment, Miss Raftan reached out and grabbed the armor of the president's daughter, pulled her onto her horse with one arm, and then fixed her on the saddle with the reins.

After President Ehard fell, Raftan and I immediately became the vanguard of the cavalry.

Having lost my leader, I was also unable to retreat to the back of the team. If I deliberately slowed down, another adventurer behind me would bump into me, and we would all die.

I can only keep charging forward...

I could only hold my spear horizontally and continue forward...

Enemies kept appearing in front of me one after another. I knocked down one, two, three, four, and many more. The feeling of pain and healing kept surging in my body. Although it seemed that I was alone, when I really came to this position, I immediately realized that the strength that supported President Ehard to stand firm was not her own.

Otherwise, I would never be able to defeat these enemies that keep coming one after another.

"Charge forward with your spear raised!"

Charge! Keep charging! Every inch of the charge was so difficult. It turned out that just holding the spear horizontally was so difficult that I wanted to give up. The fatigue of my muscles and the dizziness of my head due to heavy blood loss kept sending me signals of giving up, but fortunately I was a stubborn person and always remembered my promise.

"Charge forward with your spear raised!"

The mission is very simple, and the method to survive is very simple. As long as I concentrate on doing this one thing, even an ordinary person like me who has no awareness will have the possibility of being saved in hell.

Rustle, rustle, rustle──

Another arrow hit my thigh.

I reached out and pulled them out—

But the feeling of healing did not come as usual──

The blood trickled out, and the meaning became increasingly blurred.

I glanced to my left in confusion, but I didn't see Paladin Raftan.

Did I go in the wrong direction and accidentally fall behind?

wrong……

Behind me, there was the sound of horses stampeding anxiously...

My spear still keeps piercing the high elves that are blocking our way home...

"How long is the road ahead?"

"How many enemies are there?"

"How long have I been holding out?"

My heart was filled with doubts. The enemies standing in front of me all had similar faces, making me feel as if I were trapped in an endless maze. However, a thick lightning bolt streaked from the sky to the ground, domineeringly like a paintbrush swiping on a piece of white paper. The battlefield was immediately filled with the stench of burning flesh and hair.

"Is Lightning an enemy? Or our ally?"

No one can answer my questions.

Neither Ehad nor Raftan were anymore.

Since I got the worst fortune, I was only given one task: "Charge forward with your spear held high—"

I am just the nameless Luke, a weakling as ordinary as black iron. This simple and uncomplicated mission is the most suitable for me. This mission has nothing to do with the high elves or the lightning that is dancing like a group of snakes in front of me.

The task is to charge forward with the spear held horizontally.

After completing this task, I can go home.

There is a warm big bed at home, and a safe where I store a lot of gold coins.

I will open a coffee shop, let Tina be the store's poster girl, and ask Brother Oddo to be the most heroic butler.

"Yes."

“I am the one who is not enlightened.”

26. Alone (Raftan)

(Raftan-Fritze)

battlefield.

This is my first time stepping into a battlefield with more than a thousand people.

Excitement, tension, confusion.

On a battlefield of this scale, I felt as if I was no longer myself. Every time I swung my sword, every time I was injured, every time I felt the life fading away, it was like a knife cutting my heart.

The sword of mercy is so difficult.

President Ehard led us to charge a long distance, almost penetrating three-fifths of the enemy camp, but in the last two-fifths, we finally encountered strong men in the enemy camp, several of whom were platinum level, but relying on the momentum of the cavalry charge, we still managed to take them down one by one.

The only one who didn't have it was the lightning magician.
