Tsuihou Sareta Bannou Mahou Kenshi wa, Koujou Denka no Shishou Tonaru

My words about why there is Sophia here were cancelled by the roar.

Red lotus flames rose in front of the entrance to the venue, wiping out some of the servants who were there in an instant.

The next moment, a blast rolls in, approaching this way.

"Dear Philia!

I grabbed Philia's arm with my left hand and pulled it over here.

The flames and blasts are imminent in front of us.

I pulled the treasure sword Tetracord out of my sheath, waving it sideways with my right hand.

Then the flaming wind that struck us was wiped out.

Relax, I'll rip my chest off.

I managed to prevent the first blow.

The sudden battle is the scariest of the first attacks you don't expect.

Conversely, we can also say that if we can avoid that, we can manage later.

"Are you all right, Dear Philia?

"Ugh, yeah."

Looking down, Phyllia is dyeing her cheeks bright red.

I held Phyllia for a while, but as a result, I turned my hand from my back and dressed to hold Phyllia from behind.

Phyllia gets a small exhale.

"Ah, uh, it hurts, Solon"

"Shh, excuse me"

In a hurry I loosened my hand embracing Philia.

He was in a hurry to hug Philia too hard.

Nevertheless, I still couldn't let Philia go.

I haven't grasped the situation at all about what's going on.

"Solon! And Philia! Are you okay?

Lucy, with her magic wand, speaks to us.

And when he saw me holding Philia, he looked like a shin.

"Is filia more important than me?

"Teachers can protect themselves."

I said it back in disdain.

I don't think that's the case if you're saying that.

"Crimson Lucy," and Virgin Sophia would be able to protect herself, but Philia isn't.

So I have to do something about it.

Speaking of which, I wonder what happened to Sophia.

I looked back, but I didn't see Sophia anywhere.

Meanwhile, the guards were beginning to consolidate the entrance to the venue.

Someone broke in and committed terrorism, so it was a reasonable decision not to let any more enemies break in.

We're right near the entrance, too, so I'd appreciate it if you'd keep the enemy out of it.

But in the next moment the guards screamed.

The bodies of the guards were mutilated and full of blood.

In an instant, a pile of corpses was made on the spot.

It was one old man who killed them.

"Do you remember the tragedy of July 9th?"

The man grabbed the wand and said in a calm voice.

He is dressed in fine courtesy clothes and wears a crested ring.

In other words, he was noble and one of those invited to this inauguration.

"Aren't you Count Polos!? Are you disturbed?

It was Guillain, deputy captain of the Imperial Palace Guard, who raised his voice of surprise.

He had already been badly wounded, before Count Polos, the murderer, blue-faced and on his knees.

Polos laughed thinly.

"I'm sane."

"If you kill a guard in the Imperial Palace, this is a great treason. The Count will not be spared death."

"No, isn't it Lord Gillan who's insane?

"Say what?

"If you don't know, fine. Until you die."

Polos shook up his wand.

If it had stayed that way, Gillan would have been killed by Polos' magic in the same way.

But he didn't die.

"Isn't it a bit abusive to kill without any persuasion?"

I used a treasure sword to prevent Polos from attacking, I said.

I left it up to Lucy to protect Philia, and I popped out in front of Polos.

Although I don't have the in-laws to protect Gillan at all, it's best to get rid of the Dayuan Raiders, if you think about the safety of Filia.

I did some first-aid healing magic on Gillan for now, but it didn't seem like I would be able to return to battle any time soon due to the extent of the wound.

Gillan groaned.

"Run, Solon. It's our job to protect this palace."

I wondered what you were talking about even though you were weaker than me, but I can also assume that it was a manifestation of Gillan's sense of mission.

Look at me, I snapped like Polos was impressed with "ho".

"Don't quite do it to prevent my wind slaughter magic"

"It's an honor to keep you complimented, Count."

"Is that what you are, Magic Swordsman Solon? I've heard about that treasure sword, Tetracord, too. I guess it enhances all kinds of magic and skills to a pretty high level"

"Unfortunately it remains' quite expensive ', none of which is first-rate, but the variety of enhancements may be considered abundant"

Thanks to Treasure Sword Tetracord, I can use that level of attack magic without chanting, and I have enough defense to withstand a magical attack as normal.

Attack as a pure sword is also excellent, and comes with a lot of useful skills besides.

In short, it's the perfect sword for me to be cleverly poor.

Polos said in a harsh tone.

"Gillan said she was insane about me. But if you let me tell you, it's crazier to side with the bloodthirsty murderer emperor. Even you will know. July 9th tragedy."

The July 9 tragedy was a massacre of the people by the Imperial Army.

Two summers ago, people living a harsh life pushed them to the Imperial Palace in large numbers.

Without weapons, they were looking for the emperor's salvation.

But when he saw how unusual that was, the emperor and his neighbors were driven by fear and ordered the army to kill them.

On the boulevard in front of the palace rolled the bodies of countless citizens slaughtered by military magic attacks. Among them, he said, were still young children.

In the wake of this incident. People's trust in the Emperor was lost in the meantime.

"Don't forget July 9th. That's what we, the July Party, say. We must wipe out the wicked military and politicians, and the emperors"

The words indicated that Polos was a member of the July Party.

The July Party is a revolutionary political party that seeks to overthrow the imperial government.

Monarchy and abolition of slavery. Prohibition of discrimination on the basis of identity. Equal distribution of wealth to all peoples. End of the war through immediate harmony with neighbouring countries.

That was what they July Party wanted.

"Rumor has it that there are nobles in the July party, but it was true."

"I am noble, but I owe it to you to save the people because I am noble. Are you on the Emperor's side or on this country's side?

Polos asked me, and I answered.

"At least you're not on the side of the Counts. What changes in this way? The July party assassinated the Home Secretary, but still nothing changed. Killing the Emperor doesn't change anything."

"It's gonna change. Only after everything has been destroyed will the ideal world truly come. The Emperor and Prime Minister Strass will die."

"Did you kill the innocent royal palace servants and the guards for that?

I pointed to the bodies of the blackened servants and the mutilated guards.

Polos says without even changing his complexion.

"It's a necessary sacrifice."

"If you say so, the Count is no different from the abominable emperors of the Count. I'm your enemy."

That signaled the start of the fight.

And the July Party raiders were not alone in Polos, and battles had already begun everywhere in the Imperial Palace.
