227 – Only Gibraltar (7)

There was a difference between victory and defeat.

The end of a territory war is to break the flag of the opponent’s castle.

The flag on top of the castle has been changed so that anyone can see it, so the Battle of Territory is obviously Gibraltar’s victory.

Marquis Zeros Barcel died.

I thought that Zeros Barcel had been resurrected through some kind of legendary black magic, but it turned out that he was a double prepared by the empire’s scum.

The Marquis’ knights, including the Knights of the Golden Dawn, and the shadows of the empire that supported them all died.

I don’t know what Golden Dawn was thinking when arranging it like that, but there were so many cancers of the kingdom inside the Marquis Castle, and they were all annihilated by Gibraltar.

However, it is not visible from the outside.

Even if we are covered in blood, in some people’s eyes, it will look like we have been showered with the blood of one person.

For example…

From noble mtl dot come

“I can’t admit it! I can’t admit it! I can’t admit it!”

There’s a woman riding a golden dragon and wielding a magic wand.

“I’m still here! Barcelona is not over!”

The wizard in the blonde wall.

If I remember incorrectly, the woman had heavy makeup and my own red lipstick on her lips –

“Daughter of the Marquis Ertrand Barcel.”

Ertrand Barcelona.

A high-level wizard, she is the adopted daughter of the Marquis de Barcel.

“Ah, I’m a bit old to be called a lady.”

“This b*stard!!”

“I was wondering where the magic corps was, and then they came in a hurry on a flying dragon. Did they fly in in a hurry while protecting the railroad?”

She is probably a little over 30 years old, but she is married but divorced, and is only playing the role of a high-ranking wizard after her.

“The battle for territory is Gibraltar’s victory.”

“I told you I was staying!!”

The Marquis de Ertran aims her cane at me.

The tip of a wooden staff, thicker than the lance used by knights, was aimed at me, and a golden thorn spear extended from the tip and rushed towards me.

“Tsk.”

I grabbed the flagpole of Gibraltar with one hand, then held the flagpole of Barcelona, which I had drawn earlier, with the other hand and swung it loudly.

Kaaang!

The golden thorn spear with physical power hits my flag spear and falls down.

If the people below the castle were looking up at the sky blankly and got hit on the forehead, they would die, but there was no time to worry about that.

“The Battle of Yeongji is over.”

“Shut up, shut up, shut up!!”

“Your life doesn’t end when the Marquis de Barcel is defeated, so why are you going on such a rampage?”

“I told you to shut up!!”

Even though I swear, the magic doesn’t stop.

The golden thorn lance aimed at me didn’t just fly, but rotated counterclockwise, as if it wasn’t enough to just pierce my body and rip out my internal organs.

“Although you were the adoptive daughter of Marquis Zeros Barcel, did you have an affair?”

“This…!”

“You wouldn’t think it was an insult, right? Didn’t you get divorced because that was discovered? Oh, it could be an insult. In the Empire, things like this are actually defamation…”

“Shut up!!”

A huge golden aura sparkles in Ertrand’s hand.

“Cowardly, after launching a surprise attack!”

“If they do it, it’s tactics. If they do it, it’s cowardice. Although it’s the cry of an ugly loser…”

Advanced magic is more difficult to deal with than you might think.

“I guess it’s the nostrum average. Not admitting defeat and holding on until the end.”

“aaahhh!”

The golden magic gathered at the tip of Ertrand’s staff rushes towards me.

The thorn window, which was much thicker than before, seemed bigger than the spire at the top of the Marquis Castle where I was standing, and I felt like it was threatening to blow up the place where I was standing.

‘Anyway, what is Nostrum?’

Nostrum never admits defeat.

Therefore, even when the Earl of Gibraltar betrayed Nostrum and became a colony, the fallen princess led many nobles and continued guerrilla activities until her death.

It’s not over until it’s over.

Light dragons and duels can be good things, but even in a situation like this that is equivalent to war, or can be called war itself, it just looks ugly.

No matter what, you must win.

Even if you fight 100 times and lose 99 times in a row, you must win the last fight and assume that you have won.

What Ertand Barcelona is showing is not particularly strange.

Although we won the territorial war against the ‘Marquis de Barcel’, bigger problems lie later.

What.

Still.

“For now-“

“Die, traitor to the kingdom!”

I relaxed and caught my breath as I faced the huge thorn spear flying in.

There is no need for me to step forward.

Before I even raised my spear, I already saw something black flying from behind.

Suddenly.

A black diagonal line appeared between the golden thorns.

The moment the trace of inky light was created, the golden thorn window shattered like glass breaking and scattered in the air.

“Uh, uh…?”

Flap.

A huge drake that blocked my path.

A cloak with a black rose engraved on his back flutters, and a dragoon wearing matte armor is hovering while holding a dragoon lance.

“The territory war is over, Lady Ertran Marquis de Barcel.”

“S-No way…?! Your Excellency the Archduke?! Why, why…!”

“It’s over. If the battle continues any longer, our ‘Black Rose’ will intervene.”

Black rose.

Morgania, the Grand Duchy will step forward directly.

And that too from the master himself, the Duke of Winchester.

“Your Excellency the Archduke! Not yet, not yet won or lost…!”

“It’s already over. I have to admit what I have to admit.”

“We still have soldiers left! Knights and reinforcements!”

“The knights have already lost their will to fight, and the Yuan army has also laid down its sword and begun to proclaim neutrality.”

“This…!”

“Daughter of the Marquis Ertrand.”

The Duke of Winchester sighed heavily and pointed his lance at the flag I was holding.

“Gibraltar has won. The reason I stop you is more than to protect Gibraltar, it is to prevent meaningless sacrifices from happening.”

“A meaningless…Sacrifice?”

“If you keep fighting, you will all die. Only 30 people came and this happened. What would happen if the ‘main force’ of Gibraltar came?”

“Ugh…”

The expression ‘bondae’ is a bit funny to me, but it is not wrong.

“You came this far without Crimson Gibraltar, are you really going to make the Margrave angry?”

“Your Excellency the Grand Duke…!”

“And if we leave Crimson Gibraltar and continue the fight now, this man will not remain silent.”

The Duke of Winchester glanced at me and then looked forward again.

“Even without Crimson Gibraltar, annihilating everyone related to the Marquis would be no problem.”

“…”

“Grey Gibraltar. Has it been figured out now?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Casualties in Gibraltar.”

At the words of the Grand Duke of Winchester, I lightly shrugged my shoulders.

“There are no deaths or serious injuries. There may be minor injuries.”

“What… “

“None of us died, Lady of the Marquis de Ertrand.”

Over there.

In front of the main gate of the Marquis Castle, 29 knights are surrounded, but instead, they are putting pressure on the hundreds of knights who are surrounding them with their swords pointed forward.

“The reason we did the surprise attack was to end it quickly, not because we were weak.”

I tapped my left wrist and pretended to wind it backwards.

“Even if there was a miracle that could turn back time and a new battle was fought, the outcome would not be different. In fact, it would be more devastating. At that time, instead of coming to Marquis Castle right away, they would have come by killing everything that stands in their way. .”

It’s not a joke.

“What will you do? Will you continue to fight? Even though the Duke of Winchester has intervened?”

“This, this…!”

“One thing, you probably have some faith in it. But…”

After clearing my throat.

“Lord Robert Seville!!”

I called Robert at the front door.

“Is our great sun, His Highness Saint Geo Nostrum, present in the Marquis Castle?”

I shouted so that the entire continent, including Marquis Castle and Nostrum, could hear.

“No—!”

Robert also shouted as if he was breathing deeply in his lungs.

“His Majesty Saint Geo Nostrum was nowhere to be found—!!”

A shout so loud that it could be heard all the way to the top where I was standing.

“This…!”

Of course, there is no way that the daughter of the Marquis Ertrand could not hear it.

“Hehe. That’s right. Rather, what you should worry about is your safety, Lady Marquis.”

“What are you saying…!”

“Marquis Zeros Barcel is dead, and Gibraltar won the Territory War.”

“So, what are you talking about… !”

“Every sin is a perfect situation for you to blame.”

I lightly pretended to slit my throat.

“A marquis who started by trying to assassinate Gray Gibraltar, deceived the king with lies, and even started a territorial war.”

“W-what…?”

The daughter of the Marquis Ertrand became meditative at once.

“He is an incompetent king because he looks incompetent because he does nothing, but he is a master at the level of his servant.”

“What, what… “

“Originally.”

Although it’s like spitting in my face.

“It is the law of the world that when the hunt is over, even the hunting dogs are eaten.”

[At that time, somewhere underground in the royal capital of Nostrum Kingdom.]

Weeeing.

The moment when the huge mirror sparkled.

“Huh…!”

Saint Geonostrum, a blonde-haired man wearing only a white robe over his naked body, stepped out of the mirror and fell to the floor.

“Heo-eok, heo-eok, heo-eok…”

“Are you okay, Your Majesty?”

“In your eyes, Heo Eok, do I look okay…?”

Saint Geo frowned at the knight in full armor next to him.

“Zero Barcelona! What are you going to do now? Didn’t you boast that you could win if you mobilized the shadows!”

“I didn’t think they would suddenly attack like that.”

The man, Zeros Barcel, took off the helmet on his head.

“Fortunately, everyone you could say was there is dead, so all you have to do is piece the rest together.”

White hair, red eyes.

“It fits, haha. Damn it. Is it okay to throw away the Marquis de Barcel?”

“If that is what you mean.”

“Ha, yes. I don’t know anything else, but I’m going with you to ‘Next’ as well. Yes, that’s right.”

And the places where the white should be stained black, and there were traces of something sewn all over the body.

“Marquis Zeros Barcel lied to me. Out of excessive loyalty, he tried to kill Gray Gibraltar, who had stolen the king’s championship at the Light Dragon Stadium, at Lembley Camp, but he failed. He deceived the king and all the nobles and started a territorial war, but was defeated…”

Saint Geo raised the blade of his hand and pretended to cut his own throat.

“Everyone associated with the Barcel family will be purged, and the Knights of the Golden Dawn will be disbanded. How about this? Is this okay?”

“…”

“Zeros Barcel’s name will go down in history negatively. But don’t worry. You know now…”

“I know.”

Zeros Barcel knelt down on one knee and bowed his head.

“Please, my stigma is next…”

Tuk.

He lowered his head, and his neck fell down.

“…”

“Oh, yes, of course.”

Zeros Barcel’s body casually picked up his head and placed it back on his neck.

Like a Dullahan revived by black magic.

“Even if you don’t remember, I will remember you. Your loyalty.”

Saint Geo approached Zeros Barcel, patted his armor and nodded loudly.

“There’s not much left until the day everything turns upside down. So, now… A year and a little.”
