Hiro here. I think rage is a bad thing. They agitated me to that point with all that poking. The murder of 20 or more spearmen, that tried to poke fun at an immortal object, wasn’t justified.
That was a pretty uncommon situation. What do you think of the fact that a single person kills 2 of the best warriors in your army, and then in the matter of minutes he annihilates a whole troop of spearmen literally with shut eyes?
I think ordinary people would run from a monster like that, but those vengeful, battle junkies who were thirsty of blood thought:
"He has killed so many people so quickly that he must be exhausted now. It is my chance to attack" and "How dare he stand on corpses of my comrades. I must avenge them"
That train of thought is beyond my logic.
So, while being showered by arrows from walls, this army of vengeful idiots tried to encircle me with heavy troops. It was clear that I disrupted the chain of command of this army, but why didn't their collective conciseness tell them to run away? Do they see weakness in me? Hadn’t my actions intimidated them enough?
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
At that point I concluded that I had to put those stupid commanders to silence.They sent their soldiers to death without recognizing threat at hand.
I saw that 24 knights riding horseback commanding soldiers left and right. So I increase my 'speedmult' actor value to 400%, and edited 'SGTM' (set game time multiplier) to enable control of my movements and take down 24 commanders in about 24 seconds of real time. Then I lured the soldiers away from castle walls, imitating their speed as much as possible, so that no more soldiers die in the shower of arrows from the castle walls.
Maybe it's a good thing that they are so concentrated on attacking me, as they follow me like a herd of sheep's. So I get to 1km distance from the castle walls, and reset 'SGTM' and 'speedmult' actor value to normal. Then I say:
"If you retreat now, I will spare your lives"
I did not expect this kind of response, not by a long shot. They were all outraged. Some of them had ferocious smiles, others looked like they wanted to tear me apart. I don't get it. Why are they reacting this way when I offer them to spare their lives?
