Reborn As a Villain Son With The Strongest Wife-Chapter 27: The Villain King’s Trap – Mass Slaughter Begins

◇◇◇

[Valtara Forest – Outskirts]

10,000 Holy Soldiers marched toward Valtara Estate.

Leading them was Paladin Commander Argus, a high-ranking warrior blessed by the Holy Church.

Behind him—dozens of Bishops, Priests, and Knight Captains marched in unwavering faith.

"The Calamity of Valtara... shall fall today," Argus declared.

His soldiers cheered.

Their morale was high.

They believed Leonhardt Valtara was nothing more than a deranged villain who got lucky.

...They were wrong.

[Meanwhile – Valtara Castle]

I watched from my balcony.

Celestia clung to my arm, grinning like a devil.

"Ohoho~ 10,000 soldiers marching to their deaths~ How delicious~"

I said nothing.

My eyes were cold. Calculating.

"They'll arrive within the hour, darling~" Celestia purred.

I turned to Ironhorn.

"Begin the ambush."

Ironhorn snorted—and dashed off, commanding hundreds of cursed beasts and Villain Soldiers to position themselves.

Celestia exhaled shakily.

"Ooh~ Watching you orchestrate slaughter... is making me wet, darling~"

I ignored her.

The slaughter was about to begin.

[One Hour Later – Valtara Forest]

The Holy Army marched confidently through the forest.

"Maintain formation!" Argus commanded.

And then—

It began.

ROOOOOAAAARRRR!!!

Hundreds of cursed beasts erupted from the forest.

Direwolves. Night Stalkers. Plague Bears.

And Ironhorn, the newly evolved Mythical-Class Beast, led the charge.

"AAAGGGHHH!!"

The first 500 soldiers were trampled to death in mere minutes.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"

"IT'S A MYTHICAL-CLASS BEAST!!"

Ironhorn plowed through dozens of soldiers, skewering them on his horn.

Blood and viscera splattered like rain.

And from the shadows—my Villain Army attacked.

"FOR LORD LEONHARDT!!"

Hundreds of outcasts, cursed tamers, and monstrous warriors descended upon the Holy Army like a swarm of locusts.

Screams erupted. Blood painted the forest red.

The Crusade was falling apart.

[Meanwhile – Leonhardt's Viewpoint]

I watched from afar.

Smirking.

"Fools."

They expected a head-on battle.

Instead, they walked into a slaughter.

Celestia clung to me, trembling in arousal.

"A-Ahh~ D-Darling... y-you're so cruel... I-I love you so much~"

I ignored her and turned to my right-hand man—Gregor, the Exiled General.

"Lead the second wave."

Gregor grinned.

"Yes, my Lord."

[On the Battlefield]

"AAAGGHHH!!"

"R-RETREAT!! WE'RE BEING SLAUGHTERED!!"

Paladin Commander Argus watched in horror as his forces were torn apart.

"T-THE VILLAINS! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!"

His soldiers screamed.

The forest turned into a sea of blood.

And then—

I arrived.

I descended from my black horse, sword in hand.

Celestia walked beside me, eyes glowing with sadistic joy.

The surviving soldiers froze.

"T-That's him..."

"Leonhardt Valtara... the Calamity..."

I approached slowly.

Step. Step. Step.

"You came to kill me," I said coldly.

"...Then die."

I stepped toward Paladin Commander Argus.

"Y-You monster...!" Argus raised his holy sword.

I scoffed.

"Monster? No. I am your reckoning."

I dashed forward—severing his arm in one strike.

"AAAAAGGHH!!"

Argus fell, clutching his bleeding stump.

I grabbed his hair—and dragged him in front of his remaining soldiers.

"Watch," I commanded.

The remaining 3,000 soldiers shuddered.

And then—I beheaded Argus in one clean strike.

His head rolled on the ground.

The soldiers froze in terror.

And I declared—

"I am Leonhardt Valtara. Bring more armies. Bring more knights. I will slaughter them all."

Silence.

And then—the entire Holy Army broke.

"RUN!!!"

"THE CALAMITY OF VALTARA IS UNSTOPPABLE!!"

"FLEE!!"

Thousands of soldiers abandoned their weapons and fled.

The Crusade had been annihilated.

[Aftermath]

I stood in the middle of the battlefield, surrounded by corpses.

Blood painted my face. My sword dripped crimson.

Celestia approached me, trembling.

"A-Ahh~ Darling... I-I can't hold it anymore... t-take me... right now...~"

I ignored her.

My mind was still calculating.

(I killed 7,000. Let 3,000 flee.)

(Good. They'll spread my terror.)

I turned to my Villain Army.

"We march toward the next city."

The outcasts and cursed individuals raised their fists.

"FOR LORD LEONHARDT!!"

Celestia shivered in arousal.

"A-Ah~ D-Darling... y-you're becoming a true villain king~"

I exhaled coldly.

"And soon... Rael will come."

Celestia grinned.

"Ooh~ I hope he cries when you kill him~"
