You and me under the world tree

Accompanied by the second roar mixed with explosions, Wittig, who was planning to shrink in the crowd, suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

He hadn't planned to respond positively to the Highness he had once loyal to.

Because until now, he didn't know how to face her.

Shame, disgrace...

But now, he realized that he couldn't stand up.

Because at that moment, with the keen eyesight attached to his elven blood, he easily noticed the crisis that ordinary people could not perceive.

Moreover, when he endured the soreness in his eyes and forcibly stared at the center of the flame, he noticed the movement of the princess.

She wants to swing a sword!

Although the flames were boiling, and the rising high temperature disturbed the air, people couldn't detect Dietrich's movements for a moment.

However, Wittig, who has elven blood, finally noticed this.

But at this moment, he suddenly had such a hesitation.

Maybe, all this is a kind of retribution for him after all, maybe he did have a good reason to die under her sword.

But at this moment, the terrified voice suddenly came from his ear.

"What the hell is that?"

"Are we going to die?"

These words flashed through Wittig's mind like thunder, and even at this moment, he felt as if he had grasped some life-saving straw in the dark.

He didn't know whether it was the survival instinct in his heart or other reasons, but he took two steps forward after all.

'swish'

'Om'

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the blade, the legendary last weapon made by the elf blacksmith Wayland—and his culmination: the holy sword Mimonger radiated brilliance.

The brilliance of the rune then shone, echoing Dietrich's flame.

If one side is the rising anger, the other side is the cold spring.

Is Mimonger the most destructive holy sword?

Regarding this point, in fact, even Wittig himself, who is the holder, is not clear.

Because in the end Mimong was nothing more than a holy sword his father had crafted from the best materials Midgard could find.

In terms of destructive power, the Netherlands has the holy sword of wrath bestowed by the king of the gods as the treasure of the country!

However, the material may limit the destructive power and sharpness of these holy swords and magic swords, but it does not hinder its other functions.

Magic, runes.

The bearer of these supernatural forces that are applied to the blades is entirely up to the forger of these magical weapons.

In Wittig's view, his Mimonger may not be the most destructive holy sword, but it must be the most versatile holy sword!

"call……"

Without any excessive words, at the moment when everyone retreated, Wittig directly inserted the holy sword in his hand into the ground.

The power of magic was fully fired, and it spread rapidly around Mimonger, and then formed the barrier visible to the naked eye.

In this kind of confrontation of supernatural forces, a completely transparent barrier will only bring a sense of security to the parties concerned, and by the way, it can also play tricks on others.

However, if you want to really highlight the defense, there is no better option than letting others see it directly.

And now Wittig is doing just that.

In order not to cause panic in the surrounding people, he directly revealed the magic barrier.

Suddenly, a sense of security was born.

However, before the sense of security and trust in Wittig's heart lasted long, he heard the voice of Her Highness the Princess.

"Finally stand up, Wittig, then answer me!"

'boom'

Accompanied by the voice of the order, she swung the Howling Demon Sword in her hand.

Accompanied by the force of the gust of wind emanating from the sword of Exax, the flames swept away.

It exploded directly on Mimonger's barrier like a hot tornado.

'Zizzi'

The flame and the running water came into contact at this moment, and the sound of evaporating made one's teeth sore.

But there's more to the problem than that.

Because it was this momentary contact that gave Wittig an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Because at the next moment, his barrier exploded.

'boom'

Accompanied by the crackling sound that was almost completely broken, the scalding water vapor rushed directly along with the strong wind.

When the hot water vapor touched his bare skin, he subconsciously frowned.

The pain caused by this kind of burn is actually nothing to him, and it is still within the tolerable range.

But others are different.

In the absence of any emergency measures, the pain was enough to make those young warriors cry out.

In this case, the cry of pain is the most likely to induce panic.

Therefore, Wittig didn't hesitate at all, he didn't have time to think about other things at all, he just inspired the power inside the holy sword again.

'crash'

The combination sequence of runes on the blade changed again, and immediately after that, a cool healing power spread.

It was just a confrontation in the air, but at this moment, Wittig felt the huge pressure.

This was the pressure he had never felt before when he challenged that prince, and even, compared with the present, the original challenge seemed to be a joke.

"Huh... so it would be better to stand up earlier."

Dietrich also stopped after the water vapor and high-temperature smoke all dissipated.

At this moment, both her armor and the flames on the blade were completely dissipated, and the remaining flames came from the quietly burning nightmare horse that could spew flames from its eyes and nose.

"They also have family members, Your Highness, if you have any grudges..."

"I have family too, Wittig, so don't tell me this kind of bullshit, I didn't come out to you to disgust people!"

At this moment, Dietrich just pointed her sword at the warrior on the city wall.

Obviously she was alone, but at this moment, her aura easily overwhelmed the large Ravenna City Defense Army.

"I just want to ask, do you really think... I am not qualified to come to this city? Are you more qualified than me?"

Chapter 19: You have freedom!

In fact, for those who have brains and what little conscience there is left, this question is actually easy to answer.

In the entire Gothic kingdom, there is absolutely no one more worthy of the royal city of Ravenna than Dietrich, not anyone.

Because the reason why the Gothic Kingdom can live incomparably among many kingdoms today is because of the strength shown by their princes.

In the past, even King Etzel, who was able to suppress the monsters and giant robbers in the east, and established order in that chaotic area, did not do anything excessive. It is hard to say that it is not because Hungary once collided with Goths.

And in the small-scale conflict at the beginning, King Etzel did not gain any benefits from the fight with Dietrich.

As for Denmark, Burgundy, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which was once ruled by the Hengding family, not to mention, many lords and commoners can live so well, which is not unrelated to her strength.

Although she never deliberately emphasized this point, the Gothic merchants did benefit from the treaties she made forcefully.

No one dared to provoke the Gothic Kingdom at that time, and even had to give preferential treatment to the residents of the Gothic Kingdom.

This was the era ruled by King Dittmar.

However, when civil strife broke out in the Gothic Kingdom and the regent Elmrich was in complete opposition to His Royal Highness who exposed his female identity, the wind direction of the Gothic Kingdom changed.

The oppression and contradictions of the past were thus exposed.

Perhaps, the people under His Highness's rule are okay, because they don't have too much sense of reality.

Dietrich is still strong externally, and not long ago, she defeated Denmark with a thunderbolt, and also fled Burgundy in fright, and quickly withdrew to her territory.

For those lords and nobles, after all, they still have their own contacts and influence.

There is no need for the king to declare anything publicly, and their spies will soon be able to send these front-line news through various channels.

Bei'an City is extremely stable. Although the fighting at the border may be more serious than before, as long as Her Royal Highness and the warriors under her command are in charge, they will not be defeated.

What's more, the newborn Netherlands has publicly stood in line.

Although in the eyes of many people, it was an extremely difficult decision for Dietrich to spit out the Jura Mountains and the surrounding land that had been swallowed up and return them to the Netherlands.

But for her now, the support of the Netherlands can make her stand firm.

It's not any military support, even further discounts on the commercial level are enough to make her feel at ease.

In contrast, Elmrich's side is not very good.

Although the regent has always declared that they are the teachers of justice, but this kind of truth can only deceive the people.

To the nobles and to those courtiers who wield power, the people are stupid.

Or rather, they want people to stay stupid.

This kind of kingdom interest has only an indirect relationship with the general public. When they get the benefits, sometimes they may not thank His Highness and Your Majesty who have made great efforts for this, but first of all thank you for the "blessing" of it. gods or your own good luck.

Few people can see clearly the interest entanglements during this period.

However, for lords and nobles, these things must be seen clearly, because it has a direct relationship with them.

The "joint" between Denmark and Burgundy is not a tacit understanding.

Even though there is no covenant to speak of on the surface, one does not know how much the price has been paid behind the scenes.

Those in power have always been insatiable, not only for themselves, but also for their own kingdom, even though they know that this is an opportunity to completely smash the mountain of Dietrich.

However, they still have to go through a period of wrangling.

Otherwise, they would have dispatched troops in the first place, so why wait there for a month?

And because Denmark still has Burgundy's 'greedy', Elmrich has been bleeding heavily in recent times.

What's more, he can't compare with his elder brother King Dietermar and Prince Dietrich at all.

Apart from the so-called justice and righteousness, he seems to have nothing.

But what if you know this?

With Elmrich still standing there, no one dared to speak out.

Even the holy sword warrior Wittig is the same.

No one knows whether this wandering adventurer who came from deep mountains and forests and had no status at all knows about the entanglements.

He stood quietly in front of everyone alone, as if he was confronting the burning ram prince for the sake of the whole of Ravenna.

No one knows that Wittig also has his own selfishness in his heart.

For all nobles and lords who pay attention to interests, things that can be discarded anytime and anywhere, but are extremely useful, are extremely important to this man.

Fame, reputation...

Once, he thought that these things were completely tied to 'justice' and 'morality'.

But at the moment when they collide, he doesn't know what to do with himself.

"Answer me! That man! Elmrich, is he more qualified than me!"

Just when some of the characters who could still think were having various thoughts, the voice of Her Highness the Princess lingered like this.

No one can answer this question.

And it's even like some kind of source, it's starting to make their hearts restless.
