It took longer than expected to burn it all due to the large amount of food they had. When I returned from the warehouse, I found Zint in a terrible state, his clothes and hair had been burned off. However, his skin was relatively undamaged in comparison. The enemy he was dealing with was Pohorizen, one of the Three Swordsmen; it was natural for him to struggle.

“Zint, are you okay?”

Zint nodded.

"All right, let’s kill him and get out of here!”

I've done what I had to do. So now the priority is to get out. I pounced on Pohorizen with Zint. He swung his sword around with a frenzied look on his face. However, I equipped Daitouren, and my martial force rose to 95. I could’ve ended the fight quickly by using [Crush] but there was no need since Zint was here.

As I used the [Attack] command to cross swords with Pohorizen, Zint, who was now free, took advantage of the opportunity to get behind him. Although he was not as fast as Ganev, Zint's speed was also quite high.

“When did you get there?”

Pohorizen turned around, distracted by Zint. He turned his back on me, as expected of someone with less than 10 intelligence. While ridiculing his behavior, I immediately stabbed him in the neck with the [Attack] command. He fell down after being pierced from the front and back by our swords and never got up again.

"Kill them quickly! Whoever kills them will receive knighthood! Do whatever it takes to kill them!”

Then, from afar, I heard Bautor shouting furiously. He even mentioned a title. At these words, soldiers jumped at us from all directions. To give a title to a commoner is such a great thing, but for us it was more of an opportunity. Bautor was now fully in my sights. If I could kill the king here, that would be my greatest achievement in this war.
