Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“Now we can really get started. ”

“I will lay down my life for your sake! ”

Baroque shouts out loud and squeezes his head again.

“I will do as the Lord wills! ”

And the Byrons behind them shout the same words, and they slam their heads to the ground at the same time.

Bermurk nods slowly.

“Let's go back! ”

“I will take my orders! ”

Chapter 11. Preparation (1)

“Hmm? What do you mean? ”

Bermurk turns his gaze to Barrock as he reads the report in his hand.

“Tehaz……. Why is the old witch still here? ”

“I heard you came here to avoid wars on continents and attacks by the Morellia Republics. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Bermurk frowns and thinks silently. As Baroque once said, Lycaen was the best tool to ward off Circus. However, many aspects were making Vermouth feel uneasy.

The first is spirituality. I was somewhat reluctant to believe that neither Byron nor Clement were using Lycaen's power.

The second was the day I first encountered Lycaen. The sensation that recognizes the person who changed his appearance and attacks him at once.

The third was Tehaz. At the time of the destruction of Byron Kingdom, she was the youngest princess of the royal family. She was once a fearsome old woman, once called a witch. It was not pleasant to hear about Lycaen and to get involved with Tehaz.

Baroque opens his mouth cautiously towards Vermouth, who is contemplating.

“With all due respect, Lord, may I have a word? ”

“Go ahead. ”

“It must be awkward for the Witch Tehaas. And the capabilities of Earl Riccianne Procus could be exploited, but this could be the case. But the Lord has not gained that power now, has he? No matter how uncomfortable they feel, they cannot exceed the power you have. ”

“There can be no absolute thing in the world. ”

“It's hard for a seven-year-old to beat a 15-year-old boy, but it's not impossible. But a newborn baby can't beat an adult. ”

It meant that the difference in power was that big.

“Hmm, is that so? ”

Another reason Bermurk is so upset about Lycaen. It was the rate of growth for Lycaen.

When he first saw Lycaen, there was a territorial war between Earl Procus and Earl Leon. And then what I saw was, roughly half a year later, at the Birthday Banquet of Marquis Dobbon held in the capital, Edelschut.

The second moment he saw Lycaen, Vermouth was shocked as if he had hit his back with a hammer. In half a year, Lycaen had grown to a point where she had to completely erase what she had seen before.

That's why it's awkward. What if we used him as Circus' anti-horse and grew some common sense in the process? If so, they could be in danger.

The problem was there was no alternative. The empire's emperor, Criotes, cannot be used because of its arrogance and defeat. I tried to take advantage of the Kingdom of Bren, but his vessel was too small. Moreover, even though he had warned them beforehand, he did not prepare for anything, which meant that he lacked awareness of the crisis while overestimating his skills.

I could almost see the fire collapse without any role if I made such a figure.

So the only conclusion was Lycaon.

And it was not good to show hesitation anymore. It was because he knew that when the owner was shaken, the servant could turn into a dog that bites the owner at any time.

Bermurk nods slowly.

“I'll send a letter to Lycaen Prokers. ”

“Letter……? ”

“That should be enough. He's digging into Circus, too, so a little luck is enough. ”

“I understand.”

“I'm back, Father. ”

Three men came to Lycaen's salutation.

It was Dane, Hildor, and Senna.

“Haha, welcome back. I've heard that you've built a lot of balls. ”

Dane taps Lycaen on the shoulder, his face wrinkled.

“I came back unharmed, and that's it. ”

Hildor, whose hair is whiter than before, steals the tears in secret.

“Brother, you must take me with you next time! Okay?"

Senna howls.

“I'm so happy to be back here and see my family. How have you been without me? Where are you sick? ”

My parents who looked a little older felt a bit sad on the side, but now it was time to share the joy of coming home.

“What will happen to us? Raul and Feron went through a lot. ”

“I'll meet them later and listen to the story separately. Let's go inside for now. ”

“Yeah, sure. ”

When Lycaen, who had fallen down on the deck, regained consciousness, was fully submerged and climbed ashore.

Shaylon and Dunbane are tied to their blue-bored faces with severe bleeding and no resistance. Caith just moans on his own with a dull face. No matter how betrayed he was, he couldn't have done it if he wanted to kill his brother, Shylon. But let's just leave it at that. As long as Mana recovers, I can't let him do anything about it.

The matter was dealt with very simply by Lycaen's intervention. Using the transfusion method, it completely clogged his entire bloodline and sealed the short circuit.

After becoming unable to use Mana again, Shaylon writes a grin to kill him, but Caith doesn't listen to him. I won't kill Shylon, but I intend to end my life as an pensioner in a separate room for the rest of my life.

The disposal of Dunbane was not too difficult. When I returned to the territory, I decided to cut off my limbs and throw them in jail. Live the rest of your life in agony without dying in the crowd of sinners you've captured.

After restoring his strength, Lycaen leans behind depressed Kaith, riding straight for land. Although Caith's depressed face was disturbing, it had been a while since he had met his family.

“Brother, I baked a pie for you when I came back! ”

With a proud look, Lycaen looked at Senna, who asked for a compliment, and saw no reaction more than a mouthful smile.

“If you come, take some time off after your meal, since you have dried only the good tea leaves separately. ”

Lycaen was very enthusiastic in her words.

“Of course! If anyone comes with a job, they'll hang it upside down for ten days. ”

At that moment, Raul and Feron, who were waiting to somehow talk to Lycaen, stood there like statues. It was because they realized that they were feeling witty and intimidated.

It was then.

“Earl! ”

Suddenly, someone jumps up and calls for Lycaen. Lycaen, who was just about to enter, looks back, crumpling at the vorak impression. And the moment I saw his face, Lycaen's young, living gaze turned towards Raul. Gain the Foreign Secretary was running toward me with his chin full of breath and something white and elongated in one hand. The liability of the baggage goes to the supervisor.

‘We'll see you tonight. ’

"Ahhhh, the ship, Earl! I didn't do that! ’

Raul groaned with an unfair look on his face. But Lycaen no longer looked at Raoul.

“What's going on? ”

In Licayen's inquiry, Gain reaches out with a white object in her hand. It was an envelope containing a letter.

“Someone told me to hurry and deliver this letter, because the erl is in great danger. ”

“Suck!”

At that moment, Lycaen's expression suddenly opens the envelope.

To Earl Riccianne Prokers.

Let's just get to the point. It's urgent.

The Earl understands that the wars on the continent that have only been finalized in recent years are the result of a group plot.

They're a group called Circus, a group that wipes out every country on the continent and aims to rule it.

After uniting the continents, Circus has removed the empire and is moving on with its plan to take its place.

Currently, King Bren is aware of this and is not preparing for anything, and the Emperor of the Empire is controlling it with the help of Circus on the one hand. So we don't know what the future holds.

But someone has to be prepared.

I think you are the most suitable man on the continent right now, Riccianne Prokers. That's why I want you to be prepared for this letter.

Keep an eye on Mt. Pergrande.

A letter without the sender's name on it. Lycaen thinks with a cautious face. It was a stretch of facts that had already been assumed, but it was serious.

It was because I was quite credible with the confident story of the sender who seemed to know the group called Circus.

But I can't believe it. The contents of the letter were intended to make Lycaen fight the Circus.
