Raising Paladins

Episode 141. Pinas Revolution (9)

Woo-woo-!

A tropical forest swaying loudly with the sound of a trumpet.

To be precise, the monkey-like monsters clinging to the trees vigorously swayed the branches.

There were so many of them that it was hard to guess how many of them there were.

Queek-Queek-!

An echo as if tens of thousands of people were buzzing at once.

The pirates, as well as the militiamen, stopped fighting and stared blankly.

“When did they do that… … ??”

One pirate opened his mouth wide.

However, the Rodims had already been crossing over from the neighboring Rodim Island to Harpy Island for several hours.

But the pirates just didn’t notice it because they were focused on the bloody battle.

Tira was also surprised by the appearance of the huge army of monsters.

Keeing… … .

Baby Rhodaim sitting on Tyra’s shoulder.

Tira stroked the head of the guy whose eyes were watering as if he was glad to see his people.

“Chicken legs, you missed your friends too… … .”

Old Man Crete, who was next to him, had a slightly confused expression.

“Hey Miss Tira, did you really name the child chicken leg?”

“Yes, is something awkward?”

“… … It is not.”

Crete shuddered.

However, something flew towards the pirates, and everyone’s eyes were focused on it.

puck-!

What flew in was a fruit resembling a tomato.

The damaged or rotten me vibrated.

The pirate who was hit on the shoulder immediately poured out a double curse.

“Such a vulgar monster bastard! How dare you throw rotten fruit at people? Eat this!”

Clap, bang-!

A pirate who loaded and fired the crossbow he was carrying.

There were so many rodims sitting on the trees that you could hit anywhere you shot them.

Soon after, a rodaim was hit by a crossbow and fell down a tree.

Silence fell in the tumultuous forest.

Life overflowed from the yellow eyes of the Rodims.

“Now, I think I touched you wrong… … .”

A militiaman chanted quietly.

Hanson seemed to have had a similar thought, hiding his hands behind his back and secretly signaling to step back.

The militiamen slowly retreated back towards the shore.

Woo woo woo woo-!

The trumpet sound from earlier resounds again.

This time, instead of on top of a tree, a group of Rodim appeared through the jungle forest.

However, it was distinctly different from the rodaim hanging on the tree.

It’s big enough to double its size, and its face is dressed in red and blue combat makeup.

They were the warriors of the Rodaim tribe, carrying spears in long round wooden shields.

There were probably hundreds of Rodim warriors!

Pretend they walked out in moderation! and paved the way on both sides.

A sword appeared in the midst of them.

“knife! Here comes the knife! old man!”

“Oh oh… … .”

Crete, blind.

But he could clearly see Carl’s return.

It was thanks to the pure white divine power that spread brilliantly from his body.

Sreureung-!

Carl drew a steel sword from his waist and pointed at the pirates.

Then he blew the conch trumpet that was hanging around his neck.

Woo woo woo woo-!

Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck… … .

Rodaim warriors changed into battle stance and thrust their spears forward.

Then they formed a long line and started walking forward little by little.

It feels like seeing the well-trained heavy infantry of the Empire!

Soon after, the rodims on the trees started providing long-distance support.

swish-! swish-!

Rodim throws rotten fruits and small stones.

The pirates snorted at first and deflected them with shields or weapons.

Among the monsters, it was not very scary because it was a stone thrown by the weak Rodim.

However, as the fruits and stones grew in size and hundreds and thousands of them began to fly in, his expression completely changed.

Do-do-do-do-do-doo-!

“What the f*ck! Why are you guys doing that all of a sudden?”

“Hold up the shield! shield!”

“Ahh!”

Rocks and fruits fall like a shower on the shields the pirates barely lifted.

The arms of the pirates holding their shields trembled at the endless procession of projectiles.

Then at some point, the pirates began to crumble.

“aaa!”

“Save people!”

Pirates with shields were at least better off.

The pirates who jumped out with just a sword, an ax, or a club collapsed in an instant as blood clots in the pouring stones.

After about 5 minutes, the number of pirates who had reached 200 had decreased to less than half.

Woo-woo-! Woo-woo-!

Two long beeps.

Two blows of the trumpet signaled advance and three blows signaled retreat.

That was the promised signal of the warriors of the Rodim clan.

Warriors in terrifying battle makeup charged.

Tadadat-!

“Oh, fight back! It’s just a monkey-like monster!”

“Weapons are all wooden shields and spears!”

“Hu, rear! Back!”

The pirates lost half of their allies to the massive bombardment, but still had some momentum.

But there was one thing they forgot.

It was Hanson who retreated to the shore to catch his breath.

Coo-goo-goo-!

Hanson trampled the rear of the pirates with a shield like an elephant.

Then, the chaos that occurred behind spread to the front, and the Rodim warriors launched a full-scale attack targeting that moment.

“Cheukhak!”

“aaagh!”

The Rodim warriors were calm.

Not being careless or in a hurry because of the large number, they marched forward step by step as one mass with their own people.

He blocked the attack with a large wooden shield and stabbed the pirates’ bodies with the length of his long spear.

The pirates are few in number and have lost their organizational power.

They collapsed helplessly.

“Bah, let’s go to the sea! They say they can’t swim! Jump into the sea!”

“Where!”

Squeak-!

The pirate, who was trying to run away, was decapitated by the militia’s sword.

With that, the battle was over.

“Catch the trashy pirates!”

“Sweep them all away!”

It was different from when the Rodim army couldn’t tell whether they were friends or enemies.

The militia who saw Carl emerge from the center and summon the Rodim warriors with a conch shell.

With all their courage, they followed Hanson.

In less than five minutes, the two hundred pirates were annihilated.

It was a real win.

“I-I won… … ?!”

A feeling welled up in the back of my chest.

The militiamen’s hands trembled at the unbelievable achievements they had made.

However, the Rodim warriors were different.

When the pirates along the coast were wiped out, they turned around and headed for the wooden fortress where Henry Morgan was.

Thousands of rodims are the same.

Then the militia quickly came to their senses.

The battle was over, but it was because I realized that the war wasn’t over yet.

“let’s go! Let’s do our best too! Henry Morgan must be beheaded to finish!”

Hanson’s powerful shout at the right time.

The militiamen moved on, shaking the blood from their weapons onto the sandy beach.

Soon after, the allied forces of humans and Rodaims laid siege to the wooden fortress.

“Unbelievable… … .”

Henry Morgan climbed the steeple of the wooden fence at the tremendous noise.

He couldn’t believe the scene unfolding before his eyes.

It was because insignificant monsters who thought they were just fruit thieves appeared and turned 200 of their subordinates into corpses.

Besides, they were now besieging the wooden fort.

“Ha, Hapi… … ? Order what to do… … .”

“Shut up! I’m thinking about it too!”

“… … .”

Henry ‘Harpy’ Morgan, who was beating his chest that he would become the master of the empire.

The pirates felt uneasy at his careless appearance.

At least a hundred people were left in the citadel.

Two hundred pirates were also killed, but it was impossible to block them with more than a hundred men just because they were wearing a fort.

Even if it was true that the side defending the air war had an overwhelming advantage, that was only when there were some troops.

A strange wind began to blow inside the pirates.

“Ha, won’t we be spared if we surrender? We just became pirates because we were hungry!”

The leaders, who can be said to be Henry Morgan’s henchmen, and the headquarters with a lot of combat experience have all left to protect the treasure of the ruined island.

Of the remaining 300, the useful combatants have just been corpses on the shore.

The blood they shed was staining the surrounding sea red.

Dozens of pirates, including Sigian, also did not show up.

In the end, most of the hundreds of pirates remaining in the fortress were natives of the Pinas Islands.

Henry Morgan felt a chill in the back of his head.

‘Things are so bad… … .’

No matter how much one’s specialty is reign of terror, it is not now.

It was because there was a leader who believed in his words and blindly followed them, and hundreds of pirates led by them.

Now Henry Morgan was alone.

“People in the citadel, listen! My name is Carlos, the battle priest of the Temple of Dawn in Meirium!”

A sword raised from thick grass and trees cut down from the surroundings in layers about the height of an adult’s waist.

he shouted in a booming voice.

“Everybody will see! If I blow this conch shell one more time, the citadel will be bloody! The sun god is merciful, so if you repent of your sins and surrender, I will spare you! All we want is Henry Morgan, the culprit behind all this!”

“… … !!!”

Henry Morgan’s face hardened.

At the same time, strength went into the hands holding the two axes.

Henry Morgan looked back at the pirates sneaking up on him.

“If you do anything stupid, I will blow your neck right away. Don’t come any closer!”

“Hapi, we can’t help it either. Because we say we’ll save you… … .”

Booung-!

Henry Morgan swung menacingly his great black axe.

I know that I can live if I catch him and offer him up, but no one dared to rush at me.

It was because everyone in the pirates knew that when Henry Morgan raised the axe, they should never approach him.

Then Carl’s voice was heard outside again.

“Don’t risk it! Henry Morgan, we’ll take care of it! If you open the gate of the wooden fence and come out with your weapon upside down, I will know that you have surrendered!”

The pirates looked at Henry Morgan’s eyes.

They pulled their hips back little by little and slowly approached the gate of the wooden fence.

Henry Morgan felt a terrible sense of humiliation and betrayal, but he could not stop them.

If I made a mistake, a hundred people could roll their eyes and attack me.

Henry Morgan gritted his teeth.

“… … good.”

As if the pirates had been waiting, they opened the castle gate and ran out.

They slipped away like the ebb tide and knelt in front of Carlos and the Rodim Corps.

“This Henry Morgan has come this far… … .”

A crazy day when you think about it.

Caught in an obvious lure, the headquarters headed to the ruined island, and in the meantime, the empty house was robbed.

Even to the allied forces of humans and monsters.

But Henry Morgan had no intention of dying just like this.

thud-!

Henry Morgan placed his massive body on the highest throne in the wooden citadel.

His two axes were planted on either side of the throne.

He glared at the entrance to the citadel with an arrogant gaze.

A legion led by a sword was entering the citadel.

jerk, jerk.

light gait.

Carl arrived in front of Henry Morgan.

“Nice time, Henry Morgan. I will take your neck.”

A body as large as Hanson’s, slowly rose from the throne.

He held two axes, one in each hand.

“You don’t need to say much.”
