Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

However, the atmosphere of the Empire is now untidy. It was because the kingdom of Delos was invading the Kingdom of Bren and the premise within the Empire was heating up.

How to react very sensitively to things that can shake existing order in these times. Duke Rowdith had to be framed precisely for that timing. In other words, no matter what I said, I had to be the opposite.

For this reason, the only choice given to Duke Rowdys was to farm in a separate palace with his forces.

And that ‘inertia’ was ironically the decisive trigger that put Duke Rowdith in his corner.

By agriculture, we mean that we have soldiers in the imperial province who cannot personally own soldiers. And those soldiers were proof that Duke Rowdys plotted treason.

This meant that there was no future for Duke Rowdys.

“Phew! ”

Fabentus sighs for a long time and gazes at the Grand Duke's starry palace, lit like daylight.

Not high enough, but high enough to defend. And the soldiers staring down with tense expressions on the walls.

"When the hell did you get my troops together?" ’

Despite a thorough investigation into Duke Rowdith, there is no word on those troops.

For now, the existence of those troops was crucial evidence to the Emperor that would end Duke Rowdy.

‘Should I say thank you... …. ’

It was definitely welcome that the situation was returning to the Emperor's advantage. But it was a big problem that they didn't know.

“Whew! I can't help it. ”

With a short sigh, Paventus mutters with a spontaneous expression, slowly pulling out the long sword in his waist. Anyway, we're all set. First I had to deal with what had happened and then I had to think about the rest.

It was then.

“Reload! ”

A serene command that shakes the night air as it settles. It was a signal from the guards surrounding the Grand Duke's Star Bow.

And another attack signal.

Faventus' cry echoes faintly.

“I'm going in.”

The knights of twilight hide themselves there with no warning.

And a night that could no longer be quiet began.

Boom, boom, boom!

An arrow appears from the black sky and pierces the soldier's neck.

No matter how bright the light is, the eyes that are adapted to the light cannot see the dark space. Therefore, the arrow flying across the night sky seemed to suddenly appear to the soldiers on the wall.

“Ahhhh!”

“Shoot, shoot the bow! ”

Screaming and screaming mixed together, the Grand Duke's star palace quickly turned into a rubble. The Grand Duke's soldiers fall down the occipital wall.

Suddenly, the Grand Duke's soldiers seem to collapse without even fighting.

But wait a minute.

“Dancing Flame! ”

“Wind Mantle! ”

A sudden outburst from above the wall.

Kuhaang ―!

A sudden flame rises from the wall, with a sudden burst of sound. No, it's not just a flame. It's a firewall.

Suddenly, there are a line of wizard-looking people standing on the wall, reaching out their hands. A whirlwind blows in front of some, and a raging flame burns in front of others. And the two phenomena combined to form a barrier to the fiery flame.

Once more, the arrows across the air pour down onto the wall. However, the arrows scatter to ashes as soon as they reach the blazing firewall.

Immediately after an arrow attack burned through the barrier of hot fire.

Pot!

Like burning forever, the wall of flames suddenly disappears. The Grand Duke's soldiers showed up at the same time.

Yuck!

A tense protest stares under the wall with arrows full of pills.

Shoot him!

Arrow rain like heavy rain pours down on the line.

“Ugh!”

“Hehe!”

The guards burst into distress screams and the wars collapse.

“What do wizards do! ”

Strong energy gathers around the guard, fearful of the fall of the guard's old age.

“Gush Icicle! ”

“Greedy Soil! ”

I'm fine. Stupid!

The air seems to be getting cooler, but suddenly an enormous amount of ice begins to build up in the air.

Not only that.

You feel a sudden crack in the ground in the front of the guard, and as if it were a cut cut on your blade, you reach straight out toward the wall.

The top magic of the wizards in the guard was unfolded. He was a guard guarding the Emperor and the Imperial Palace, so he had a high ranking sorcerer with him.

Whoo-hoo!

Suddenly, the sharp ice in the air whirls like a storm. The cracks on the ground quickly reached the wall and shook as if they were breaking through the wall itself.

If we go on like this, the soldiers on the wall will surely be slaughtered.

But the wizards on the walls were all excellent combat wizards.

“Rupes Wall! ”

* Cough *

A wall of dirt rises out of the cracks above the ground that terribly plagued the walls with the screams of many wizards. Not one. One rises, completely against the wall, and another rises, completely against the emerging wall, and over and over again, over 20 dirt walls rise in an instant.

It was a battle of strength and strength.

In order to deal with the magic of cutting through the soil called the Gridy Saule, it was made into a 20-meter thick wall of dirt. In this case, Gridy Soil had to divide the dirt wall that was blocking the road before advancing. However, no matter how powerful the magic was, the strength was insufficient to tear apart all the ground walls that had risen to that degree.

The same was true of the sharp ice swirling from the sky.

The battle wizards on the walls melted all the chunks of Gush Ice by combining the first dance flames and wind mantle to create a firewall.

The upper magic of the guard was prevented by the proper operation of the lower magic without difficulty.

This meant that the low-level, but highly experienced, sub-wizards prevented the attacks of the High Wizard. It was also an indication of how well combat wizards were adapted to combat.

Shoot me!

Another arrow rains down on the wall. These were arrows to the wizards, not to the soldiers. It was because no matter how skilled the warlords were in battle, they could not be overlooked by the terrifying power of the high wizards.

Puk, puk, puk!

“Shhh!”

The spilling arrows make the high wizards become hedgehogs. Soon after, he was baptized with arrows so intensely that he eventually died.

“W-Wait, back off! ”

As the bulwark of the guard's awkwardness erupts, the guards and knights slowly begin to take a step back with their shields raised. Ridiculously, the Grand Duke's soldiers had the upper hand.

However, the expression on the guard's face, which shouts in a bewildering voice, does not seem to be in a hurry. Rather, he was expressing relief as though everything was now over.

He was actually only tasked with this level of confusion.

And there were those who infiltrated the stars, secretly, through the chaotic cracks.

It was the Knights of the Twilight.

Their infiltration route is no different than the secret passageway of the Starpalace. That's how Lycaen broke into the imperial palace a few months ago. Lycaen's methods were effective enough to use the same methods as their own.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk! ”

Suddenly, the startled soldier spits out a crushed groan before finishing his speech. None of the soldiers guarding the secret passageway and the entrance survived.

Looking outside the passageway, Fabentus quickly strikes back without any further orders.

Later, the knights of dusk pour out of the passageway, rushing into a frenzy. The structure of the Starpalace in the Imperial family was well known, so they planned ahead and arranged the route.

“Hehe, we have no time to escape. ”

Duke Rowdys whispers with a twisted smile on his face.

How did this happen? Since when did the emperor prepare to get rid of himself?

Glug glug!

The glass in the Grand Duke's hand was filled with an amber clear liquid. At the same time, a dark odor spread around.

Gulp, gulp!

“Cough!”

A hot breath gushed out of the Grand Duke's mouth, emptying the amber glass full of large glasses with a choking sound. However, the Grand Duke drank two more glasses of smoked foie gras to make sure it was not enough.

Suddenly, his stomach became hot and the Grand Duke's face became blazing.

“Heheheh heh……. ”

And the leaky laughter.
