《Game Cheater Reincarnated》2:Decisive blow on army morale
Advertisement
Hiro here. Again thinking of strange thing in the midst of battle. I'm really at fault for drifting off to needless thoughts, when everyone else move in slow motion? (let's not point fingers at certain cheater).
So, while an eternity passed by, and I missed countless opportunities to attack, I was thinking about what to do next. At this moment I had 2 options:
1)Kill or incapacitate anyone who tries to attack;
2)Assassinate the commander and put the army to flight.
In option number one I would receive a lot of experience and level up my weapon proficiency, Of course, if I omitted the incapacitating part, and in second option there will be less casualties, and situation might resolve faster.
So I choose the most humane and logical route, and in the blink of an eye, in their perspective (of course I just ran up to the first soldier in ranks, jumped up over him and then started running over the soldiers, stepping from shoulder to shoulder), I appear before the most luxuriously armored knight, riding a horse, and swung the battleaxe, aiming at his face.
As I thought, that this murder would be the last and end the battle. I heard a number of knights shouting out phrases like:
"We must avenge the king's brother", "Kill the assassin", "King's reward to the avenger" and so on.
Of course, I did not expect that kind of reaction and had to retaliate. It was the worst case scenario. I certainly didn't want anymore death's, and they, unfortunately, didn't know that I was literally invincible.
As to why they were repeatedly trying to stab me with a spear's, even as they saw it stop after touching the surface of my clothes.
That remained a mystery to my logical mind forever.
So, as I stood there on the horseback, endless barrage of spears poked on me. The number of spears was really uncountable. That began to get on my nerves. I could be a very patient and compassionate man, but that would drive anyone mad.

I closed my eyes because there was a very unpleasant picture of the tips of spears trying to get my eyes. But it was of no avail, of course. Who keeps his (or her) eyes open when there is something flying towards them?
I swung the battleaxe few times with the eyes shut in that frenzy. At first, I felt spears breaking. Then I felt few heavy impacts. In the end, I stopped receiving pokes.
And then I battleaxe wasn't hitting anything.
I opened my eyes to witness the literal mountain of corpses and the dead horse that I must have decapitated while I was swinging the battleaxe blindly.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
