The Returner Wants Complete Victory

17 – 017. City at the Bottom (3)

It takes about 7 hours by carriage from Emur to Kirnyu.

Bo-kyung must have been tired and tried to take a nap, but after the carriage wheel caught on a stone and her butt bounced a few times, she gave up.

“senior. Come to think of it, the empire has already fallen. So why is the reserve currency still gold coins issued by the empire?”

Then, perhaps because he was bored to just leave, he started asking me various questions, as if he thought I knew.

Of course, I know most things.

Since it wasn’t really a secret, I decided to answer comfortably.

What if I don’t answer because it’s annoying and then starts crying again?

“First of all, do you know why the empire fell?”

“yes. During the war with the Selesiel Republic, they were eaten by a chimera that they created because they thought it would not work… .”

I’ve abbreviated it a lot, but it’s roughly correct.

20 years ago, the Leberon Empire, the loser of the continent, started a war to keep in check the Seleciel Republic, which was founded by the merger of several countries.

It was an attempt to start negotiations from a favorable position by striking a blow, but the Seleciel Republic counterattacked as if it had been waiting, and this soon escalated into an all-out war.

And contrary to expectations that the empire would be overwhelmed, the war began to drag on, and upon seeing this, various forces, including the Kingdom Alliance, began to show disturbing movements.

In the end, the desperate empire created a life form just for war called ‘Chimera’ based on extremely advanced magic arts, and this seemed to turn the tide of the war.

What is important here is extremely advanced magic arts.

Even compared to the current republic or kingdom union 20 years later, the magic arts of the empire at that time was superior.

That is why the gold coins issued by the empire are still the reserve currency.

“First of all, imperial gold coins have a constant gold content and are magically treated, so they cannot be tampered with. “If you know how to handle even a handful of magic power, you can tell right away whether it’s real or fake, and even people without magic power can use a discriminator.”

“oh… .”

“That’s why imperial relics are of high value overall. “It is a by-product of a civilization that was decades ahead of its time.”

However, the land soaked with too much blood from the long war awakened the ancient evil god, and the empire, which lost control of the chimera due to the influence of the ancient evil god, was eventually destroyed by the biological weapons they created… .

This is what is taught in chick education.

It was Izra who sealed the ancient evil spirit in the first place, and the reason the ancient evil god was released was because Irene was imprisoned by Irene. It was also Irene’s trick to create the soul stone that incited the empire and helped the Republic behind the scenes to prolong the war. It was but─

This is a behind-the-scenes story that no one but me knows at this point.

“Hey, brother. Just by looking at your clothes, you look like a young chick, but you are very knowledgeable, right? “Where on earth did you hear that?”

At that time, the man sitting across from me smiled, showing his yellow teeth.

From what I’m saying, does it sound like I’m Chinese?

When you come to Proa, all languages are automatically interpreted and you can read texts, but sometimes subtle differences between languages are revealed.

“I just thought the imperial coins were used a lot because they were the prettiest. Is there a reason for that?”

As the man opened his mouth, the speed of the carriage gradually began to slow down.

Instead of answering what the man said, I turned to the person sitting to my left and said,

“what do you think?”

“huh? Me? “Woah!”

Crack!

I twisted the wrist of the man sitting next to me and snatched the dagger.

As soon as one guy opens his mouth, the carriage slows down, and the guy next to him is just polishing his dagger… .

Where are the idiots who do such a shameful job?

What do you guys do for a day or two?

Phew.

“Kruk…” .”

As soon as I stabbed him in the neck, the man screamed and tried to grab my hand.

I immediately twisted the dagger out and swung it at another man next to him.

Seo Eun-ha also immediately rushed at the Chinese across from her with a dagger drawn.

puck!

“Tsk… !”

However, perhaps due to the significant difference in physical abilities, Eunha was kicked in the stomach by the Chinese and landed on her buttocks.

“f*ck you, get down first!”

The Chinese who kicked Eunha shouted, wary of us.

Before I knew it, the carriage had come to a complete stop.

Perhaps because they felt there was no point in fighting in a small space, the men got out of the carriage one by one, starting with the person sitting at the end.

I leisurely waited until they all got off.

Even from my perspective, where I have to protect Eunha and Bo-kyung, it’s better to avoid getting tangled up in a fight in a narrow carriage.

Eight strong robbers surrounded the entrance to the carriage.

There were eight in sight, but since the coachman was probably part of the group, there were only nine left.

“Looking at your tail, it looks like it’s been about two or three months since you came to Proa, is that correct?”

In response to my question, the men only kept their mouths shut and gave me murderous looks.

Judging by his movements and the level of his equipment, he seems to have just gotten out of being a chick, but I can already guess how much of a trashy life he must have lived if he had eyes like that.

“Don’t answer, you bastards. “Don’t you want to die gracefully?”

“You’re bluffing.”

The Chinese man in front laughed at my words.

“I knew everything, but you did something that didn’t work, you little bastard. The wizard has blown up the core. Can you fight properly now? Stop showing off and come down. Then, I want you to package it nicely and send it to the client.”

I felt my expression harden at those words.

To say that they were simple highway robbers, it was incomprehensible why ten people gathered together and targeted a chick with no hair.

But that wasn’t it, they were intentionally targeting me at the request of an organization in Kirnyu… .

But perhaps they interpreted my stiff expression differently, and the men in front of me started giggling and mocking me.

“Oh, of course you’re the only one who wraps it nicely? The b*tches in the back don’t. “If we worked, we should get paid for our efforts.”

Starting with the man’s words, the guys next to him started adding words one by one.

“The big tits b*tch is mine.”

“Ha, the b*tch next to me is in very poor shape… . “I have no choice but to stand in line here too.”

“These bastards don’t know anything. Rather, a b*tch like that—.”

When you say big-breasted b*tch, you mean Bo-kyung, right? The b*tch next to me is probably Eunha.

As I listened to that story, I felt like something had snapped in my head.

It’s definitely a common provocation that people gave and received instead of greeting each other when they were fighting in the first round, but why do I feel so bad?

“I changed my mind.”

Originally, not killing him kindly was just a ceremonial threat.

I spread magical power throughout my body.

If Bo-kyung and I launch the same spear with the same strength of 100, mine will probably be able to produce ten times more power.

The same goes for mana.

While some people’s body strengthening efficiency through magical power is less than 10%, I can increase my physical abilities to about 1.5 times the original level.

“Bo-kyung, please lend me the window.”

At my words, Bo-gyeong calmly handed me the spear.

The fingertips that handed the spear trembled slightly, as if they were shocked by the men’s words.

widely.

As I climbed out of the carriage, the men exchanged glances.

“Kill!”

Then they all rushed towards me.

It looks like they are just rushing in without any proper coordination, without proper coordination.

But even at that ridiculous sight, anger was greater than ridicule.

I stabbed the spear towards the man on the right who was running ahead of me.

*

I need help. But how?

Eunha felt sick to her stomach from the rising feeling of self-deprecation.

I felt nauseous, but it wasn’t just because I got hit in the stomach.

I had already noticed that the men were suspicious.

So, as soon as Jin-Woo started taking action, he lunged at the man across from him, got kicked spectacularly and rolled around the corner of the carriage.

It was a poor result.

Jinwoo said he would protect him, and he accepted that, but that didn’t mean he was going to do nothing and just be helplessly protected.

When you are suddenly summoned to an auditorium, go through a tutorial, and buy a bow and dagger.

I definitely made up my mind.

Ready to hurt someone.

And I’ve already decided to risk my life.

Actually, my skills were lacking.

I wasn’t even qualified to fight for my life.

I wanted to rip that mouth that said dirty things about Bo-kyung.

But how?

The men rushed towards Jinwoo at the same time.

I thought there was no place to escape, but Jinwoo took a step to the right and stabbed the shoulder of the man who was running a little ahead.

He pulled out his spear and hit the man who was running behind him on the chin with the tip of the handle.

Just two attacks and a few steps.

With that alone, Jin-Woo neutralized the siege in an instant, and the men forced themselves to follow Jin-Woo.

“aaah!”

A man shouted in unison and raised his sword high, and the blade passed through the ship as if he had been waiting.

Already the third person, unable to do anything, lay down on the cold floor.

“The basics are not there. “Where on earth did you learn this?”

Jinwoo chuckled and flicked the blade of his spear.

Where had the confidence that they had gone? The men began to hesitate and take a step back.

8 to 1 battle.

However, if the opponent is an untrained soldier, it is virtually no different from 1v2.

Because no one wants to become a victim.

“why. “Are you starting to feel a sense of crisis?”

Jinwoo, who felt that the atmosphere was completely over, started running towards the station.

The number of eight quickly became five, and the speed at which five became one was even faster than that.

As if drawing a picture in the air, the blade of the spear drew a large circle, spattering blood.

The floor had already been painted as a picture of hell with blood and fallen men.

“Hey, this bastard… . He’s definitely a wizard… .”

“I told you. “They won’t kill you easily.”

Only the Chinese who had kicked Eunha was left shivering.

“Kwaaak!”

Soon he too was crawling on the floor with his shoulder shattered.

Eunha could only stare blankly at the scene, as if she had been possessed.
