Chapter 16, Cat Plays with People (Part 2)
"...Oh ah ah! Help -"
In Karn Village, the air shook violently with the roar of humans.
The original massacre has not yet ended, but a new massacre has begun.
——It’s just that the original hunter has become the prey.
The knights who were slaughtering villagers wantonly a moment ago were now the targets of torture and ridicule.
And the murderers who ravaged them turned out to be a group of petite cats.
At this time, these scary cats were walking towards them step by step, meowing softly...
"...meow~meow~meow~"
Although these cat calls seemed quite pleasant, to the ears of these trembling armored knights, they were no different than the roar of demons.
"...God, please save me..." "...God..."
Facing the slowly approaching cats, the knights reflexively stepped forward with trembling legs and stepped back little by little. The armor on their bodies kept shaking and making harsh sounds, and the tips of the swords they held in their hands kept shaking... ...Although no one has escaped yet, everyone's body has been dominated by fear, as evidenced by the rattling sound of their teeth.
Even the commander of this group of heavily armored knights, Captain Belius, who was ordered to come to massacre the civilians of the kingdom, has cursed the god he believes in countless times. Probably in these tens of seconds, I have been scolded more than a lifetime!
If God really existed, he would show up now to defeat these evil beings. Why do you refuse to save such a devout believer?
How did things come to be like this? Belius moved his eyes slightly and looked at the villagers behind him who had the same frightened expressions - now, they were on the grain drying field in the center of Kahn Village. Behind them were more than sixty villagers who had been captured by Londes and the others. The faces were all expressions of fear.
There were a few villagers hiding on a wooden platform with a copper bell hanging next to the grain drying field, holding sickles and sticks in an attempt to resist.
Originally, these villagers should have been killed by the heavily armed knights, but at this moment, they were disrupted by this group of cats.
——Similar to the massacre of the previous kingdom villages, the decoy force led by Belius first blocked the intersection in Kahn Village, then rushed into the village to search the houses, and drove the remaining villagers to the central square from all directions. , massacres were carried out here, and corpses were piled up for demonstration. In the end, he deliberately allowed a few villagers to run out in order to spread the news. With the cooperation of the traitors in the kingdom, he managed to attract the "big fish" he wanted to catch.
However, just when they had searched most of the houses and were about to burn the village and massacre the remaining villagers with swords, misfortune suddenly struck.
First, at the edge of the grain drying field, a knight who was pouring kerosene on the house was suddenly hit by something and flew high into the air!
This was a very incredible thing. An adult man wearing heavy armor was actually knocked into the air like a ball!
How terrifying is this power? Could it be that he was slapped by the dragon's tail?
In short, this guy flew a distance of more than ten meters before landing with a deafening bang. Of course, he could no longer move.
What happened next made these knights even more unbelievable. Because what appeared in front of them next was not a muscular warrior, nor a huge and ferocious monster, nor even a mysterious magician, but a group of seemingly petite, cute, and completely harmless... kittens. ? ! This contrast is even more unacceptable, okay?
And this was the beginning of all despair.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Although they felt something was wrong at first, the knights rushed forward with long swords, ready to kill or drive away these cats that were causing trouble.
However, these cats are incredibly powerful! The long sword that struck it was smashed to pieces by the cat's claws on the spot! The spear that was poked was broken off by a claw! There were also people who had their greaves scratched by a claw, and fell to the ground wailing with their bleeding calves... Hey, is this a cat or a dragon?
In other words, cats with the magical power of dragons are called dragon cats for short?
Seeing how troublesome these cats were, the knights couldn't help but become cautious, and raised their large shields to form a shield wall in an attempt to confront them. Unexpectedly, several cats saw this and meowed among themselves for a few words. Then one big cat grabbed the tail of another kitten, whirled around in the air, and finally threw a cat-meat windmill into the knight. In their formation, the shield wall was smashed into pieces in an instant!
Next, another tabby cat stood up and gesticulated with its paws a few times, and actually released a bunch of colorful [magic arrows], which instantly made the knights who were still resisting on the opposite side frantic and howling.
At this point, these knights who had been bullying the weak finally got scared - where did these cats come from? Not only is he as strong as a monster, he can even use magic! If they were all swarmed, their side would have been doomed long ago, right?
Are they teasing themselves, wanting to appreciate the dying struggle of fragile humans? Damn it, I have always been the one to tease those untouchables, how could I be so rebellious and let a group of cats play with the noble knight until he died? It’s so unforgivable!
Under the thick helmet, someone started crying like a child. Someone's crotch was wet.
Although they have always bullied the weak and killed women and children indiscriminately, they have never realized that they would also end up like this.
"...ah...team, captain...help, help. I'm injured...ah...ah..."
A knight who had just been knocked out by the "Cat Meat Windmill" lay on the ground, groaned and stretched out his hand to Belius. His breastplate and helmet were deformed, and blood was constantly oozing out, and his legs were also injured. He was twisted to an absolutely abnormal angle, but at least he didn't die suddenly.
"...Shut up, you useless lowly civilian!"
As the captain of the knights, Belius looked at him with disgust and showed no intention of helping him. In fact, none of them had time to care about others at the moment. The only thing in my mind that I could think about was how to deal with the disruptors who suddenly entered the situation.
However, Captain Bellius never had the tactical literacy and experience to deal with sudden changes like this, and he lacked even the most basic martial arts. He was just a nobleman who relied on his family's power to gild the army. It's just an easy task to gain merit and facilitate promotion.
It was originally just a simple mission to massacre civilians in a foreign country. It was basically unlikely to encounter stubborn resistance, even Lienli. The regular army of the Kingdom of Yestije will also deliberately release water. Because they had arranged a strong internal response within the kingdom in advance, and even the attack itself was inside. The nobles of the Kingdom of Yestije themselves participated in planning the trap to eliminate political opponents. Foreigners like them were just acting as knives.
Therefore, Captain Bellius, who had no military experience, immediately reacted at a loss, which made his subordinates even more disappointed.
Next, when the Knight of Londes, the most brave and outstanding one in the team, took the lead and rushed forward with a sharp sword, but was also electrocuted into charcoal by a lightning strike from a certain tabby cat mage on the opposite side. A dozen knights finally collapsed completely.
"...Ahhhhh! I don't want to be played to death!"
Hysterical screams resounded through the sky. A certain knight could no longer bear the horrific terror, wailed, dropped his sword and turned around to run away.
Immediately afterwards, the other knights who were still able to move abandoned their wounded companions who were still lying in a pool of blood, and stumbled around and dispersed, leaving the cats and villagers on the drying field stunned for a moment. . And Captain Belius was running at the front!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
——In the brief confrontation just now, Captain Belius thought he had figured everything out.
Speaking of which, they were just a small force acting as bait and had no duty to fight against powerful enemies. The only mission this time is to be here. Under the guidance of the internal affairs of the Yestije Kingdom, he disguised himself as a knight of the Bahas Empire, attacked the southeastern border villages of the kingdom, and massacred the villagers of the kingdom. At the same time, he deliberately released a small number of survivors during the massacre in order to spread the news. Enter the kingdom's court to pave the way for the next conspiracy.
Looking at it this way, their attack on Kahn Village was actually considered a success, except that there were slightly more survivors left behind. However, there is no clear stipulation that only a few people can stay - in this case, why do they continue to stay in Kahn Village, needlessly resisting the "Warcraft" attack? Now that the task has been completed, it is the right way to give it up as soon as possible! He thought so to himself.
As for whether the wounded soldiers who were left behind would be tortured by someone to reveal some important information, and even deduce the truth of this conspiracy, or even lead to the bankruptcy of the entire trap, Captain Belius no longer cared about it.
All he could do now was run towards the outside of the village, while ordering people to blow the horns and summon the horses and horse archers who were staying at the entrance of the village. Fortunately, when he saw his people suddenly turned around and ran away, the cats over there He seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and only now did he start running towards the entrance of the village to catch up, but there was still a long distance between him. As long as he seizes the time to mount his war horse, it seems that he should be able to retreat safely in time.
However, can they really escape?
——Just as these knights abandoned their armor and fled panting to the open space where the horses were tied at the entrance of the village, another cute little creature appeared in the sky above them! Astonishingly, it’s Flor, the max-level elf player who has turned on the cheat device!
Well, she is also an otaku girl who is addicted to magical girl anime.
"...Hoohohoho, stupid humans! Here comes Flor, the beautiful and lovely girl with invincible justice! Remember this great name!"
Originally, according to the game settings of YGGDRASIL, goblins were a race that was very good at sneaking and hiding. In all the hide-and-seek competitions held by the game official, the goblins have long occupied half of the top ten places. Their racial skill "Fairy Stealth" is recognized as the strongest stealth skill in the entire server and does not require any cooling time. It can be activated, has a forced invisibility effect, and can also run and fly in stealth state. The only limitation of this skill is that during the period of invisibility, you cannot perform any offensive actions at all, including using skills on the target, including locking the target before attacking, even applying a BUFF aura to teammates on the same team.
In this way, as long as the elf hides and avoids all unnecessary conflicts, unless the enemy has a magic eye user or a high-level magic caster who is good at reconnaissance, the elf's MP and HP values will decrease over time. Before it passes and is exhausted, it will never be discovered.
Therefore, Flor, the maxed-level elf player, was able to wait in the place where the knights tied their horses early, without worrying about leaking their whereabouts.
However, what makes people feel very sad is that although goblins have such outstanding stealth skills, they are not excellent assassins - as the saying goes "goblins never fight on their own", the attack power of most goblins is quite pathetic. For example, Flor, who has been raised to level 100 by a cheat device, if he really starts a one-on-one PK, he will probably be beaten by a combat player who is only level 30 or 40... The goblin's combat power is less than 5 ah.
But the problem is that these human beings from another world who are called knights but are actually weak chickens in front of her have not even five in terms of combat effectiveness!
"...Hohoho, stupid humans! Let's play games together! [Level 10 Fairy Trick - Trick or treat if you don't play with me]!"
Before these "stupid humans" could react, Flour, who was hovering in mid-air, activated magic on them. To be precise, it was a quasi-magic ability unique to non-human monsters, called "Fairy Trick" or "Fairy tricks" are the most basic skills that the fairies are born with.
This thing can display different skill effects depending on the occupation of the elf player. Currently, Flor is both a fifteenth-level elf priest and an elf troublemaker. The elf tricks of the former profession can save lives and heal the wounded like a human healer; while the elf tricks of the latter profession can create all kinds of purely funny things. A wonderful prank effect, the specific types of effects displayed are completely random, and anything can happen.
Although this kind of magic used by little goblins to play pranks cannot kill any healthy normal person, it is still a level 10 goblin trick anyway. In this world, it is close to the level of a world-destroying forbidden spell. It is not any talisman. and items that can resist or be immune.
As a result, invisible magical energy was released from Flor's hands and applied to the knights and horses present. For a moment, both the people and the horses felt their stomachs wriggled rapidly, and the farts came one after another like thunder - it turned out that there was nothing Scientifically, they were all hit by the [Group Unlimited Fart Technique] at the same time!
——Well, placing pre-disguised "fart cushions" on guests' seats seems to be one of the traditional Japanese pranks...
"...Puff-" "...Puff--" "...Puff--ahem, it smells so bad..."
However, despite the loud farts and the stinking smell, the knights still jumped on the saddle regardless, and then they were about to gallop away - and Flor, who had failed to complete the task of blocking the enemy, was anxious. , "...Eh? How can you still run? Come again! [Level 10 Fairy Trick - Trick or treat if you don't play with me]!"
The next moment, everyone from Captain Belius to the ordinary knights suddenly felt dizzy, nauseated and dizzy... Even if the humans on the saddle could barely grit their teeth and persevere, the horses under their crotches could no longer hold up, and they all They all whined in unison and collapsed one after another!
——The effect of the prank curse this time was that all the knights who escaped from Karn Village were hit by the [Group Stun Technique]... After repeated blows, one by one fell off the saddle or fell off the saddle. He was thrown off by the equally dazed war horse and could no longer run.
However, despite being dizzy and weak, driven by the desire to survive, they still farted and stumbled away. Some people even struggled to take out healing potions, antidotes, and curse-resolving scrolls from their arms in an attempt to save themselves.
Looking back to see that those dawdling kittens hadn't come over yet, the little fairy Flor gritted his teeth and performed the third time today [Level 10 Fairy Trick - Trick or Treat If You Don't Play With Me], and then let these knights On top of their heads, a clump of green grass suddenly grew.
At first glance, this forbidden curse-level prank failed again. But the problem is that the green grass above the knights' heads that was spawned by the goblin tricks is called Nepeta. It always exudes a strong and special aroma. It also has a more well-known alias called "Catnip" ……
As a result, excited cat meows sounded like thunder, and the eyes of every chasing kitten lit up with excitement and bloodthirsty red light:
"...Meow-" "...Meow! Meow!! Meow!!!"
——More than a dozen useless human knights who were stun by a spell and whose level was less than level 20. Because each of them had a strong-smelling catnip growing on their heads, they attracted a group of people with weak punches. A level 100 cat player who is bigger than an elephant, and whose mind goes berserk, and has no idea how to control his strength, is pushed over by them with his claws, scratched randomly, and occasionally throws a few magic... What will be the result? What will happen?
Well, in short, when Lich King Ainz arrived belatedly with a group of thugs, those kittens who had been driven out of control by catnip were still jumping around and barking, rubbing against each other, and they were addicted The virtue of a gentleman. As for the dozen or so armored knights whose heads were reduced to flower pots, they no longer even had any personal appearance left, and had completely turned into piles of unrecognizable rotten flesh, broken bones, and scrap metal. The strong smell of blood was so overwhelming that even a lich like him couldn't bear it... At this point, with the joint efforts of the kittens and goblins, these stupid human knights were finally killed...
