CHAPTER 14 : Broken skill

Hazard was watching his army while the third village was being looted.

[So far, we have a thousand corpses, but only twenty of them can be considered usable..]

Cerberus lifted his head at the same time and sniffed the air carefully.

Hazzard, who was riding him, noticed his strange behavior and turned his head towards the direction Cerberus looked at, in the direction of the forest, which was a plain after a kilometer.

[The looting of the village is over, there is no revenge from humans, my lord.]

Hazard then looked at the knight on the horse.

[Alright, gather the army and ambush one kilometer to the west, I think an army is approaching to us from the east.]

[My Lord's will is my goal!]

Hazard then turned his gaze to the east, he could have sworn an ominous feeling was approaching from that direction.

But with the glow of dark mana in his eyes, he looked at the knight.

[Leave the bodies in the village.]

Then heaven and earth swore that they saw an evil smile on his face.

…

Twenty kilometers away, an army of twenty thousand people, nearly 8,500 of whom were the heroes of Solar City, were marching, some on horseback, some on foot, or in chariots, when their commander, who was a man with a masked face and dressed in black, caught the attention of their commander.

"There is a smell of burning and blood ahead."

Four strong and fighting people on horses approached him.

The first person was the master of the Blue Swallows Association, a woman with a rough face but with a body on the form and a three-meter spear on her back, the other person was the master of the Solar Rage Association, a one-eyed man with two axes on his back, and the other was the head of the Golden Eagle Association, and the last one was a girl who was called a saint and radiated a lot of magical power.

The person guiding them was a local baron and his name was Oscar, there were three villages in his small territory, and he was forced to obey by a person who didn't even know his identity, but understood that it was the order of a noble with a higher rank. Their smoke had conquered the sky, and now, realizing that the possibility of losing those taxpayers, like another village, which was taken from his territory a month ago, due to the fact that he could not maintain its security, and his wife's father was also killed in that village, made him absolutely angry.

"Multiply the speed of the army, whip the infantry if they don't continue running !"

While he was serious, the four people laughed and made him angry.

"What are you laughing at?"

The head of the Golden Eagle Association took out his sword and placed it under his throat, his hero level was five and equivalent to a level 4 lord, the level 1 Oscar Lord was not even able to blink in front of the speed of his sword movement.

"You are just a scarecrow who is going to play the role of leader, don't think that this is your army and you can do whatever you want !"

Seeing the blade of the sword and the intention to kill all their people, Oscar did not dare to move any further and continued his way while his curses were heard under his breath.

"Percival..."

After an hour

When the army of heroes and local soldiers came out of the forest, the village was on fire and they saw the corpses of the villagers in the center of the village, which were piled on top of each other, and crows were roaming over the corpses.

Oscar looked at them all.

"If we had come earlier, the enemy army might still have been here!"

All four leaders of the association did not pay attention to him and passed him while taking their men to the village to investigate.

"What the hell does that mean?"

Oscar set his black horse in motion and followed them, looking at the mountain of corpses. These villages were his territory and he knew its native information.

"Why are there so many corpses?"

After a few minutes, the four chiefs were standing on the mountain of corpses and giving orders to their men while they were arguing among themselves.

"The cause of the death is arrow s and deep wounds caused by the claws and some teeth of a large wild animal..."

The leader of the Golden Society looked at the others and saw the leader of the blue swallows holding his spear and looking at the surrounding forests.

"It's a fast hybrid army, the large footprints of the wild creatures and the arrow wounds… I have an ominous feeling about it."

"Ha, if you want to go back, go back, this is probably the work of forest monsters or just from the realm of the demon king, but still the arrows wound is suspicious."

The saint who heard the words of the leader of Solar's fury snorted and his gaze was drawn to the underground mountain of corpses.

"I don't know what this means, but do you also feel the presence of the Devil King?"

The head of the golden guild looked at him as if he was crazy, they always felt the presence of the demon king and their sensitivity was heightened by the distance, but this was something they had to fully focus on.

"what do you mean_"

The eyes of the Golden Society and then all the leaders and close people widened.

Oscar, who was standing at the entrance of the village, looked at five thousand heroes who were walking in the village.

"A bunch of rookies... If we had come earlier, there would have been a chance to save them, now I have to answer to the viscount and I'm sure he will take my position away from me."

Oscar sent a curse to all four leaders, but he heard an explosion that was bigger than any explosion and thunder he had ever heard even in the great war.

When the wave arrived, he was thrown from his horse and rolled nearly thirty meters on the ground, and after that he saw soldiers and heroes in the sky in their blood, while most of them had their trunks separated and were thrown violently in different directions.

He was whistling from the intensity of the explosion, this explosion had thrown a lot of blood and broken bones in all directions, the blood split the metal like a sharp knife, and the bones created an explosion with their momentum and collision with any object, and started to infect the living targets with dark mana.

Oscar barely stood on his two feet and looked around, there was no living person in the village, all of them had been thrown more than 300 meters with a spear, and they only survived to the level of strength that their bodies could bear.

"Everyone who hears, take up arms! Come and fight!!!"

His intuition came into play as one of the knights who fought alongside Duke Percival in the great wars, such explosions could only be done by fire arch master mages or ay of Vlad's giant bats.

However, despite his orders, the heroic people who had a high level of power did not even pay attention to him and did not have enough mental power at the moment.

Looking at the bloody mist that spread after the explosion, Oscar could see the body of his faithful horse, which had a thin leg bone stuck in its neck, and left the horse dying and struggling with it.

At a speed that he could not even understand, he reached his horse's foot and put his hand next to his wound, but he had no healing skills and the saint who was with him was not seen, and the members of the church that he had brought with him were nowhere to be seen in their white and golden robes.

It was only blood and its sea that could be found around with people who were stumbling to run.

Oscar turned his gaze to his own horse and looked at the lifeless eyes of his own horse, but a second later he felt that an ominous feeling was coming from the center of the village where the mountain of corpses used to be, with his gaze he could see a black skeletal hand with golden veins that came out of the dirt and blood, and then the skull and body of a black undead with golden veins and two long horns from his head appeared completely covered in blood he raised his hands to the sky for a few seconds. He was staring at it and it was only the burning sensation in his neck that made him stop staring and forced him to look down and at his horse, his eyes couldn't believe it, his horse had grabbed his neck with its teeth and was tearing his trachea, but a second later he saw the black and lifeless eyes of his horse, as the blood vessels were gathering and filling in such a way that it was about to explode.
