Quit being a knight and become a mercenary

71 – The back of your head looks really sticky (3)

Although it was a forest quite far from the castle, I could see the light of the torch burning brightly inside the castle, and the people inside were chatting wildly. The sound came out very well.

“Wow, the taste of alcohol kills! Long live the Baron! Okay, what’s life like? “You either drink and die, or you don’t drink and die.”

“You idiot, you should eat more expensive meat than alcohol!”

“So I killed all the wild boars that climbed up that ladder?”

There are idiots who tell bravado-filled sagas, and there are those who say they only live for today and focus on drinking and eating meat, etc…

Seeing them talking and eating and drinking so excitedly even though they are at war, it seems like their lives really end here.

‘You guys are so unlucky.’

“Senior Karin, can you hit the guy standing guard with a torch over there?”

Karin raised her thumb up.

“Okay, then I will explain the strategy one more time before the surprise attack. “Burn your ears and memorize it, you bastards.”

Everyone nodded in agreement to what I said.

“Those bastards standing guard in that remote place over there, Captain Karin will take care of them. Then, the group of five, including me, will immediately hang a rope and climb up the castle wall.”

In movies and dramas, there is often a scene where you send a signal to your allies as soon as you climb up the castle wall.

That’s for dramatic effect, but in actual combat, what would happen if you just killed two Southern soldiers and signaled that you climbed the castle wall?

The guys who were drinking got caught and ruined the operation and everything, and we were all lost.

‘I think Lucia is halfway through it, not just Karin, but I can’t let it go by in vain like this.’

“Once you climb up the castle wall, quickly move to the castle gate in the south, open the gate, and fire off a signal. “Is there a stone head that you don’t understand up to this point?”

“But it’s a surprise attack. Wouldn’t it be nice to climb on top of the castle wall and then shoot a fiery arrow? “Why are you just quietly opening the gate?”

I also want to climb up on the castle wall and start shooting arrows at those guys who are drinking and hanging out…

If we do that, those drunken idiots will realize that we are attacking them and will climb the wall with their drunken bodies to fight.

“You bastard with nothing but a stone in your head. Think about it clearly. If you were a guy and an enemy was shooting arrows at you from the castle wall, what do you think you would do first?”

The soldier who asked me a question hit his forehead.

“Oh, Baron Sheikh’s soldiers will come up on the castle walls and try to surround us. The castle gate will also be locked. “We will be left alone…”

I hit the guy on the head.

“Yes, you empty-headed bastard. If we open the gate, drunken idiots will come staggering in, so we’ll guard the gate against them until the captain comes. Okay, any more questions?”

No matter how drunk the enemies are, there are close to 150 to 200 soldiers remaining in the castle, so if they all flock to kill our platoon kids, it would not be normal to stop them.

But what can I do? If you want to succeed and make money, you have to risk your life to fight and become a mercenary.

Everyone nodded their heads to signal that they understood.

“Okay, then Karin, Baker, and Ain, Bolton, follow me. “Let’s go send those snail-like, lazy Montmartre guards to hell.”

“Yes.”

“The rest of you guys, when I wave the torch in front of the castle gate, come straight to the castle gate.”

“Yes, platoon leader. “I’ll see you alive and safe.”

In some ways, this is the most dangerous mission I have ever undertaken.

My palms are getting wet due to tension and I can feel sweat flowing down my back.

Still, men are creatures who have to pretend to be brave and show off.

“Just worry about you guys, bastards. Do you think I’m going to fall off?”

“Is it okay if people worry about you?”

“Take care of everything, because if the gates are opened, you too will be in danger. And pay attention to the signals and follow them. “If you are late in joining us, all five of us will die.”

After giving my final advice, I quietly walked towards the remote watchtower I had chosen.

Without even lighting a torch. It took some time to be careful not to make the sound of stepping on the grass with each step…

Anyway, we arrived near the watchtower we were aiming for.

I gave a hand signal to stop here, and fortunately, they didn’t seem to notice us yet.

“Ha, f*ck. “I want to have some fun, too, but why are you standing guard at this time?”

“It’s shift time in an hour. Just wait until then. Let’s seduce a village girl with all the money we have left. You never know. “Are we going to hold a major ceremony here?”

“You fell asleep after talking like sh*t. “So you’re a virgin.”

They look carefree in the world, just chatting while standing guard. And at the same time, I really felt pitiful and pitiful for them.

I was born into this world and died without even being able to do it even once.

‘I’ll let you go as comfortably as possible, you poor bastards.’

“Senior Karin, can you hit those two people’s necks?”

“Just leave it to me.”

Karin aimed accurately at the necks of those holding torches in the watchtower and shot arrows very quickly.

Although there was a slight time difference, the two fell down without even being able to scream.

“……”

It is said that it is only about 30 to 50 meters from here to the watchtower, but seeing that both of them were hit in the neck and died without even making a sound…

If I buy a better bow than this later, wouldn’t I be able to become a real sniper?

When this war is over, I will have to spend money to gift Karin a more expensive and better bow.

“Hang the rope, you bastards. “Climb the castle wall.”

Then we hung a rope with iron hooks on the castle wall.

I pulled the rope hard to make sure the hook was properly hooked, and slowly climbed the wall without making a sound.

When I was a mercenary in my previous life, I climbed up with a rope a few times, and it feels really new to try it again at night like this.

After climbing up the wall, I immediately looked around…

“Good, no one noticed.”

Then I made a hand gesture and signaled the other guys to come up.

“Now that we’ve come this far, there’s no point in muting our footsteps. “Don’t just talk and run fast.”

Anyway, since we are on the castle wall, the guys below can see everything we do at any time.

So, it would be better to go to the gate as quickly as even a second and open it first.

As I continued running south, I looked down at the scenery beneath the castle walls.

The soldiers are constantly gorging on alcohol and meat, and regardless of whether they are knights, mercenaries, or serfs, you can even see people lying on the ground sleeping while intoxicated.

“Alcohol, one more drink….”

“Oh, it’s good. Are you too sleepy? “I need to take a nap.”

“That’s why I just hit the head of the guy climbing up the ladder with my flail!”

Some guys, as if they caught the eye of the women, grabbed their sleeves and walked suspiciously to a dark place…

“Okay, enjoy it while you can. What is life? “Have s*x, eat well, live well, and then go when the time comes.”

After grumbling like that, when we arrived at the south side of the castle wall, we suddenly ran into two soldiers.

“Enemy! Enemy!!”

I immediately pulled out my sword and cut off one of the guy’s heads so he couldn’t make a sound.

Then, when he put his finger to his mouth, even the other one became quiet.

“Where is the gate opening device?”

“……You can’t teach that.”

“Then you have to die.”

When I pointed my sword at him, he waved his hands and his body trembled.

“Are you saving my life?”

“If you tell me properly.”

“Just go to the stairs you see right in front of here. Please follow me.”

We went down the stairs with the guy guiding us, and he stopped in front of a door.

“Here is a device that opens the castle gate.”

“Ain, hold on tight to this bastard’s arms so he can’t escape.”

“Yes, platoon leader.”

Then, I pulled up all the aura on my body and cut the door itself diagonally.

Then, inside, I saw a device connected to a very strong rope used to open the castle gate, and a man and a woman who had come all the way and were stuck in the corner and having s*x.

The woman had her entire upper body exposed, and the man had a blank expression on his face…

“You pervert, are you having s*x in places like this?”

I immediately cut off Namjeongne’s head and laid his body face down.

Because I can’t show Karin another man’s hideous object that isn’t mine.

“If you don’t want to die, you better shut up and do as you’re told. I have no intention of raping or killing you. Schmitz, tie a rope around that woman’s mouth so she can’t untie it, and tie her whole body up. “If you resist, we will kill you.”

“Yes, platoon leader.”

Then, together with the other guys, I started to turn the device that opened the castle gate.

Because the gate was so heavy, it was a bit difficult to turn it, but as I kept turning it, there came a point when it stopped turning.

The castle gate is open.

“After killing the traitor who worked hard to open the gate, we are going to the gate.”
