"That was quick. This doesn't make me feel any better."

　Gilbert is down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was the one who had led the Perian army to hunt down the Barka mercenaries who had lured them out of hiding.

　The Perian army, which until just now had rejoiced at having defeated me, the leader of a mercenary band and the Secretary of Defense and Protector of the Orient, is now completely silent.

　I was helpless to do anything as I looked at the man who had holes in his body as if his whole body had been pierced by thorns and his blood had been sucked out of his body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the sight of Gilbert did not make me feel better.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The same goes for the fact that his magic bag, a very valuable and precious piece of equipment, had been destroyed, and the way he had been beaten.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I won, but I didn't feel like I had fought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess it was not interesting that we just beat them one-sidedly, instead of fighting with weapons or using smart tactics.

"Gather round, Norns!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My voice carries because of the quietness of the surroundings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I said a word, I could feel the tension in the surrounding Perian army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The red cavalrymen gathered around me as if they did not care about the Perian army at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I touched these Norns, who were the driving force to defeat Gilbert, with my hands and took them into my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Hmm. Well, I guess that's about it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Having collected the blood from the Norns, who had been allowed to operate independently as cavalrymen, we will replenish the blood lost by the [counterattack shields].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this is not enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We have lost a lot of the blood we collected when we repelled the previous attacks from the five surrounding countries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The battle with Gilbert this time caused the blood of the sword and armor to be blown away, and it is also related to the fact that we sent Norn into [Lassen's cauldron of fire].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that time, too, Norn had gone under the super-hot ground, and a considerable amount of blood had evaporated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, I need more blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was bloodthirsty now.

"Attention Barka mercenaries! Annihilate the Perian army. I want every last one of you here!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We can't stop at just defeating Gilbert.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, I send out a message to the mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We will make our will known by putting magic power on our voice as if we are trying to "intimidate" them from all directions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I told them what I was going to do in a way that was easy to understand for friend and foe alike.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I told them that I would annihilate the Perian army present here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have sentenced them to a future in which they will be squeezed to death to the last drop of their blood like rags, just like Gilbert.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This completely destroyed the morale of the Perian army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The knights who were present at the scene, including those in the main camp, began to flee, even if they had to leave Gilbert's corpse behind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They may have thought that they could not fight against the fog of blood even if they tried to resist.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They move to flee to the city within the walls.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But they can't escape so easily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because right before Gilbert and I fought, the Valkyries had surrounded the main camp with a wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The soldiers of the main camp of the Perian army rushed into the gap between the walls, trying to escape so that they would not suck our blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then we attacked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was easy to attack them because they turned their backs to escape.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We increased our losses.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Still, some of them escaped through the gaps in the walls.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sight of them startled the Perian soldiers outside the enclosure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just a few moments ago, Gilbert had announced in high spirits that he had defeated me, and after a few painful screams and cries, my death sentence was announced.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know what was going on, but I guess he knew it was a bad idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And even the knights who were actually in the main camp, who were supposed to be powerful and capable, were seen running away frantically.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This has completely thrown the 5,000 strong Perian army out of order.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Realizing only that they have been defeated, each one of them flees.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Message to the Purge! Use the wall construction to hold back the escapees. The Valkyries should help them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the meantime, they also pay attention to the Purge forces that are on the run.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is dangerous to have an avalanche of Peruvians running toward us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I told them to make good use of the [wall construction] with the magic communicator so that the Purge troops who came to our crisis would not suffer any damage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Our mercenaries will be with them, so they will be able to get the message to those who are in command of the Purge forces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I will also ask Valkyrie to assist them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that our instructions were well conveyed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or rather, the Purge forces seem to be well controlled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although they were not as many as 1,000, they seemed to be fighting steadily without overreacting, and they didn't seem to have suffered much damage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, as soon as they heard my instructions, they built a wall to block the way of the fleeing Peruvian army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This kept the fleeing Perians at a standstill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then we gave chase.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With my magic sword, the Barka mercenaries kill their enemies and suck the blood out of our palms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Each time they gain a little more power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's said that every little bit adds up to a lot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although it would be more efficient to kill a single knight and suck his blood, sucking blood from those soldiers will make us stronger one step at a time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let us not waste a drop of blood in this land, but let it become food for us, the Barka mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, we attacked the defeated Perian army and sucked its blood.
