Lancer sudden attack startled the group of guards.
But what Lancer didn't expect was that several of the guards actually temporarily turned their weapons on him.
I wasn't angry even without a princess, but why are you guys ignoring the enemies in front of you and pointing your weapons at me? No matter what, I at least came to help, right?
In reality, these guards didn't want to do this either; the situation forced them to.
Today, The Emperor had a sudden whim to take them out for a 'hunt'. Since it was a 'hunt', there would naturally be no danger. Not only was General Budo personally serving as a guard, but there were also more than 300 Imperial Guards surrounding them. You have to know that the leaders of the Imperial Guards all held 'Shingu', so there should have been absolutely no problem!
But who would have known that the Dangerous Beast The Emperor was riding would suddenly go berserk?
And when they finally managed to kill The Emperor's mount, they found themselves surrounded by Dangerous Beasts. It was only after General Budo showed his might and killed most of the Dangerous Beasts in one blow that they were able to catch their breath.
It was at this time that General Budo, based on the previous situation, came to a surprising conclusion -
Both the mount losing control and the encirclement by Dangerous Beasts must have been manipulated by someone behind the scenes!
Although it sounded a bit absurd, considering the existence of things like 'Teigu' which were far beyond common sense, it was indeed possible. What's more, General Budo had never made a mistake in combat, so they chose to believe him.
Then, after General Budo left the order to 'protect The Emperor even if you die', he went to find the enemy who was manipulating the Dangerous Beasts. In the meantime, they had already killed more than a dozen attacking Dangerous Beasts, but they could clearly feel that the subsequent Dangerous Beasts were getting weaker, which was not unexpected, as the enemy had likely caught them on the spot.
But in this dangerous situation, a person wearing armor and holding a lance suddenly appeared in the depths of the deserted forest... No matter how you looked at it, it was very strange, right? The fact that they didn't immediately attack was already because they were giving face to the fact that the other party had helped kill a Dangerous Beast earlier.
However, this strange standoff didn't last long. After Lancer killed the ape-like creature, the controlled Dangerous Beasts had already regarded Lancer as an enemy, so before Lancer could even open his mouth to explain, the group of Dangerous Beasts attacked again.
Alright, at this point, it was no longer a question of whether Lancer would ignore them because of their 'ingratitude'. He was now completely involved, and it seemed that those guys wouldn't let him go even if he didn't help.
It's just that these guys who had lost their ability to think due to being controlled by a Teigu had no idea what kind of enemy they had provoked.
'Anyway, they're just a bunch of walking points. I'll just treat it as a point-grinding session!'
That's right! A certain person was already seeing them as mobile points!
'Lance'
A weapon that is not uncommon, but one that most people know very little about.
Generally speaking, knights on the battlefield use 'lances' as their main weapon, and the very tip of the lance can actually be replaced. Generally, after the first charge, the lance will basically break. This is so that the weapon doesn't get stuck in the enemy's corpse, but don't think that the lance is no longer a threat at this time.
The most terrifying thing about cavalry is the impact force of the mount. Even if the lance head is lost, being hit by the broken lance body is absolutely not a pleasant experience, and if you're unlucky enough to be knocked off your horse...
Just think of the chaotic battlefield; you would probably be trampled into minced meat by friendly forces.
This was undoubtedly the understanding of ordinary people, but Lancer changed their perception.
Holding a lance with one hand and a shield with the other, Lancer showed them another way of fighting with a 'lance'.
Facing the charging Dangerous Beast, he held the dark red bone-like shield in front of him, leaned forward, and after blocking the opponent's attack, he suddenly thrust the originally level spear upwards. Amidst the wails of the Dangerous Beast, he quickly retracted the spear and continued to attack...
Because they had 'Shingu', everyone present was confident in hunting the 'Explosive Bear' Dangerous Beast that was attacking Lancer, but the problem was that even if they could deal with it, they generally wouldn't go head-on, as it wasn't worth it. But they didn't expect Lancer to perform a 'forced kill' while holding a shield.
In less than 1 minute, the 'Explosive Bear' could only lie on the ground and pant due to excessive blood loss.
"Can you block that 'Explosive Bear's' palm strike with your shield?"
"Not likely."
"Could it be that that person is using a Shingu or a Teigu?"
Lancer, who had already put on his faceplate, had no idea about the discussion behind him. His attention was completely focused on the monsters that had surrounded him.
He had already used a 'lance' in actual combat in the previous 'MH' world, but to be on the safe side, he only dealt with low-level monsters like 'Yian Kut-Ku'. Now that he had finally encountered monsters that were a bit stronger than 'Yian Kut-Ku' but only by a limited amount, he naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to 'test his lance'.
It could be said that at this time, Lancer entire attention was focused on the several Dangerous Beasts surrounding him, except for a portion of his attention that he left on the group of people behind him.
I have to say, the previous 'world' still had an impact on him.
Compared to the life of an investigator who was constantly worried about being attacked by Ghouls, the three days he spent in 'MH' were simply 'paradise'.
When he had enough energy, he would go hunt 'monsters'. When he was tired, he would just lie down and sleep. In the camp, the boisterous hunters would not only help with night watch but also often treat him to meat and wine.
This kind of boisterous lifestyle had infected him in just a few days.
Looking at the Dangerous Beasts around him at this moment, he even had a sense of heroism, as if he had returned to the 'MH' world and was fighting those monsters again.
Allow me to grant you the honor of becoming my trophies!!
Although Lancer had never quite understood what the so-called 'Lancer Fate' in his status bar was, there was no doubt that he was indeed different from 'ordinary people'.
When fighting the Dangerous Beasts, he didn't feel any fear due to the number of enemies. On the contrary, he felt a sense of boiling passion.
It was only when he plunged his spear into the heart of the last Dangerous Beast that he took off his faceplate and let out a sharp breath. At the same time, his brain, which had been dominated by passion, gradually calmed down.
"Clap~ clap~"
And at this moment, an extremely abrupt sound of applause rang out from behind him.
"!!!"
Looking at the surprised Lancer, the blond middle-aged man who was clapping had no change in his expression.
"Not bad~"
Although it was just two simple words, it made everyone who knew his identity also show surprised expressions. Even the 'Emperor' was looking at Lancer with a strange expression.
