Velbrok Subjugation (10)
The two one-eyed giants stood up with their massive bodies, and their eyes met the top floor of the high-level imperial residence.
As he smashed one side of the imperial residence with his blunt movements, the outer wall collapsed. The soldiers were shooting arrows from the roof, but the giant didn’t even show any signs of being eaten.
While the two one-eyed giants stood tall in the central garden of the imperial residence and smashed everything around them, Princess Fenia was running down the hallway on the first floor with Emperor Chloel.
His body was already full of scratches, and the hem of his dress was torn. It was uncomfortable to run, so I took off my shoes and threw them away, and even those white, soft feet were covered with scars and bleeding.
Princess Fenia ran away with a wrinkled expression, and after that, three giant bats were chasing the walls of the hallway.
Soldiers who appeared occasionally threw themselves to block their path, but they could only keep a little distance, but could not completely outrun them.
And I wonder if there is any meaning in being bullied in the first place. The gardens of the royal residence were already full of many demon tribes, and the sound of soldiers swinging their swords everywhere was full.
There is no escape route.
Even my body hurt a lot.
When he was hiding in the reception room with Emperor Chloel, he used almost all his magical powers to escape from the giant bats that came upon him. In the process, he left a scar on his forearm and suffered a major cut to his right shoulder, but he was not in a situation where he would be in pain.
“your majesty! Go out the back door! I have the wagon waiting!”
A brave knight stood in front of the giant bat and shouted.
“Escape to a safer place. Our imperial escorts will try to stop this place!”
Even if you go out to the back door and get on a carriage, you don’t know where you’re going. Aken Island is already covered with monsters.
Still, it’s better than standing still. Emperor Chloel nodded and grabbed Princess Fenia’s arm, dragging it and running faster.
“aah! ”
As I entered the hallway, I heard the soldier’s scream just behind my back. After all, it was reckless to block it alone.
They managed to save their lives by throwing the loyal knights like expendables.
Emperor Chloel sighed sadly with a serious face, and Princess Fenia also closed her eyes tightly.
When I escaped through the back of the main building of the royal family’s residence without even taking a breath, the night air filled my lungs. The cold air made my mind rise even more, but when I saw the amount of monsters still covering the sky, I felt distant.
Princess Fenia once again made up her mind, and this time she took the lead and ran towards the back door.
If you go like this, you might be discovered by the flying monsters. Still, it’s a hundred times better than standing still and getting hurt.
Emperor Chloel, who could not even find the courage, took a deep breath and ran.
The demon tribes flying in the sky glanced at the two without any reason. It’s like two people who look like they’re not good enough to fight and run away, hoping to survive.
Convinced that he had found a good scapegoat, it was the moment when the griffins in a bizarrely twisted form spread their wings.
At that moment, the vast sky disappeared. Thousands of elemental magic circles covered the sky, and the flash of light emitted from it colored the world in an instant.
I was lucky. There is no more appropriate expression other than that.
The moment the magic circles expressed by Lucy’s magic cover the sky, all the monsters floating in the sky turn their eyes to the magic circle.
Whether it be humans or monsters, an enormous magic circle that has never been seen before.
Even if it’s Lucy Meiryl, the huge number of magic circles that makes me wonder if it’s even possible for me to handle it, stunned all the spectators on Aken Island.
Eventually, when the magic that resided in the countless magic circles was revealed… the world was dyed in a flash of light.
– aa
An explosion of a scale that exceeds the limit instantly erases the world altogether.
Light, much faster than sound, covers the sky, and the sound of an explosion that follows makes the eardrums in pain.
Not only the numerous demon tribes floating in the sky, but also the Velbroque, which was wrapped in chains, began to struggle in pain.
The numerous monster tribes that covered the sky all disappeared, even for a moment.
Six pieces of rain are pouring down from the sky. The fragmented corpses of the monster tribes cover Aken Island, and the green forest and gray-white buildings are dyed red.
– poop poop
– Woo Wook
Everything covered in blood looks like hell.
Fenia felt goosebumps all over her body, but she continued to run along the back of the garden.
Almost all of the monsters that covered the sky were gone due to that blow.
Of course, considering the power of Velbrok, who constantly summons demon tribes, it is only a matter of time before it will be covered with quantities again.
Still, this moment is the only enemy that can escape to the safe zone.
Avoiding only the monsters that have already landed on the ground, they somehow find a safe area. Then, you can protect Emperor Chloel’s personal life.
When I reached the back door with such certainty, I saw the huge wagon the knight was talking about standing there. Princess Pennywya clenched her teeth and ran, and quickly put Emperor Chloel on the wagon.
Then, after stepping on the carriage’s outer door, he went to the driver’s seat and shouted urgently at the window.
“Let’s go right now! Hurry up!”
Saying that, he looked inside the carriage and held his breath.
A corpse of an old, mature coachman.
While waiting for the princess and the emperor in the carriage, he was attacked by gremlins and died. There was a huge sword stuck in his shoulder.
And, a gremlin that was eating such a corpse made eye contact with Princess Fenia. Princess Penia felt goosebumps from her toes to her head, as well as the inner walls of her internal organs.
The gremlin, who drew his sword, roared and rushed towards Fenia, who was clinging to the carriage.
“Ahhh!”
Fenia quickly pushed her body to the side again, but fell down at the beckoning of Gremlin’s arm that came out after breaking the carriage door.
Fenia rolled down the muddy floor and saw the gremlin trying to pierce herself with the sword in reverse. It didn’t get stabbed by rolling it to the side, but it turned into mud all over.
Princess Fenia stood up without paying any attention and gathered her magical powers. Her specialty is water magic. He pulled out the water polo and threw it at the gremlin.
The gremlin was hit directly by the magic and took a few steps backwards with a painful scream. Fenia got up with a trembling body and put another water polo in the corner of Gremlin’s eyes.
The gremlin closes his eyes and uses the moment of pain to cast the lieutenant’s water magic ‘Drowning’.
A puddle of water emerged from near Gremlin’s head, blocking his breathing.
Gremlin resisted for a long time and tried to release the magic, but Princess Fenia did not release her concentration even as she bled. After maintaining the magic for such a long time, the gremlin eventually lost consciousness and collapsed.
They weren’t even that strong of an elite demon tribe, but they wasted too much time. It feels like even the magic of the body has been exhausted.
Even so, Princess Fenia clenched her teeth and got up and got on the carriage. When he saw the driver’s body, half of his intestines poured out along with blood, he tried to lose consciousness again.
Princess Fenia moved somehow, even though her body was almost exhausted, and pushed the coachman out of the carriage. The body of the coachman was scattered on the floor like garbage. Princess Fenia felt sorry that she did not properly respect the deceased, so she prayed for a while and then grabbed the whip. Fortunately, the horses still appear to be unharmed.
It is possible to evacuate out of the royal residence somehow.
His whole body was covered with blood and mud, and he didn’t even look like a horse… he was as diligent as he was for his life.
At that moment, two horses were trampled by the one-eyed giant and exploded.
It happened in an instant.
– Kuung
He said, “Blood clings to the giant’s feet.”
When I looked up, a one-eyed giant who had come out of the garden was looking down at Princess Fenia’s carriage.
It felt like the aim was unsuccessful and only the horse was killed. This time, the one-eyed giant gave a creepy smile as he said that he would surely step on it this time. Those huge feet rise again towards the sky.
Die.
stumble and die
There is no means to resist.
I had to struggle to catch a low-level gremlin, but there is no way to catch a high-ranking monster like that.
The one-eyed giant, who slowly adjusted the position of his feet, was about to deliver the final blow.
– Bang! Quang!
The blonde man, who came down as if falling from the carriage, was unable to land properly, collided with an exterior wall and rolled over once. However, Ignoring it, she grabbed Princess Fenia’s arm and threw herself out of the carriage.
The man who rolled the floor together while hugging Princess Fenia tightly was… Ed Roth-Taylor.
“Huh…!”
At the same time, a lioness made of water came out of the carriage carrying Emperor Chloel.
Then, one second later, the carriage exploded after being stepped on by the giant’s foot.
– Aww!
dust rises
Sneezing inside, Penia, who barely came to her senses, saw a man hugging her.
And hold your breath again.
The man, Penia, was in a state of serious injury that could not be compared.
The amount of bleeding is unusual. At least the bleeding has stopped a lot, and the wounds all over her body are in a mess as if they had been stabbed and pierced by something like an awl.
Even if it was a painful situation to breathe, he saved Penia.
“Ed… Roth Taylor…! you…!”
Before he could say anything, the eyes of the one-eyed giant turned to the two of them. Fenia regained consciousness at that moment. Now was not the time to stand still. If you keep going like this, you’ll just get crushed by the giant’s feet.
However, the giant never raised his feet again.
– Whoa!
The fire lizard, which drew its huge body, was actually slightly larger than the one-eyed giant.
It’s like watching a battle between monsters, but Tarkan’s fire magic is a fatal blow to one-eyed giants who don’t have magic resistance.
Flames pouring out of Tarkan’s mouth covered the one-eyed giant.
The ones riding on top of her head were Yenica Palerover and… Princess Phenia’s sister Selah.
“This… this is…”
“Princess Penny.”
Ed endured the excruciating pain and stood up, making eye contact with Princess Fenia right in front of her.
“I’m so glad you’re still alive…”
Seeing Phenia’s safety until the end with a blood-seven-packed figure… Penia is greatly embarrassed.
He thought he would protect Fenia even in this shape, and ran to the imperial residence where this hell road was spread out.
Blood dripped from Ed’s body and ran down Fenia’s cheeks.
Fenia looked at Ed quietly with her shaky pupils in surprise, and then spoke to her first.
“Treatment… Shouldn’t it be treated? Now is the time to do this…!”
– Whoa!
Takan, who had defeated the one-eyed giant, bowed his head, and Yenika and Princess Selaha jumped from the top.
Landing on the grass, the two ran quickly to support Emperor Chloel, Selah, and Ed Roth-Taylor, Selah.
“Abama! Are you okay!”
“You are safe, my daughter Selah! I was worried about you…! thank god. How lucky I am!”
“I saw that Abamama was okay too…”
Selaha sighed in relief, unable to finish her speech.
Ed, who put Fenia down in his arms, barely got up with Jenica’s support.
“Ed! I’m not feeling well… What if I suddenly jump like that? Seriously, Ed… If you bleed this much, it wouldn’t be strange to die right away…!”
As Yenika cried out in a worried voice, Ed raised his head again and spoke.
“I don’t have time for a long explanation. Princess Penny. You must go to Taylor’s place right now.”
“I beg your pardon…?”
“We must… kill the dragon here and now. Otherwise, it will be a disaster that spreads throughout the empire.”
Hearing this, Emperor Chloel, who was supported by Selah, barely stood up and spoke.
“You… Sir Ed Rothtailer…”
“Your Majesty… It’s an urgent situation, so I’d like to take the situation slowly and deliver it, but… We don’t have time for that.”
Ed said as he endured the rising pain.
“For now… somewhere where Taylor could be… Even with all of Taylor’s party gathered, you should head to the Ophelis Hall… The Ophelis Hall, which was the garrison close to the Trix Hall… It will be safer… again… ugh…”
Ed bled once more and frowned. Yenica, who was supporting Ed, looked at him and closed her eyes tightly, and spoke to Princess Fenia.
“Medical staff. There are no medical staff! Ed needs to be treated first!”
“Yeah, it looks like that… but now, the inside of the royal family’s dormitory has been invaded all the way to the center… It’s safe to say that there are no medical staff left! Almost all… I think they’re dead…”
“I’ve come all the way here… Are you saying that Ed can’t get treatment?”
Princess Fenia shook her eyes and looked at Ed’s wounds.
“But… yes… somehow… even a simple first aid… how to do…”
“It’s done. You can go to the Ophelis Hall for treatment.”
After all, Ed Roth-Taylor didn’t come here to seek treatment.
It was clear why Ed had come to this place, even in the midst of a situation where he was immediately losing his mind.
“If you have confirmed that Princess Penia is safe, then that’s it.”
Fenia still looked at Ed with a puzzled expression.
It was a long relationship, and most of it was a contractual relationship, but it was because I never thought that Ed would do everything he could for him like this.
With a body like that, running all the way to the imperial residence with the intention of saving Penia. Just looking at it gave me a tremendous amount of willpower.
“Ed… Roth Taylor… you… you…”
Ed clenched his teeth and turned his gaze to Emperor Chloel again.
Anyway, the goal now is to catch the velbrok. In order to do that, it was necessary to bring Princess Fenia.
If he said that he would put Penia into the Velbrok subjugation in such a chaotic situation, there was no way that Emperor Chloel would approve.
Still, I had to explain the situation as best as I could and take Fenia with me.
“His Majesty the Emperor.”
Ed bowed his head, not paying attention to the blood running down his face.
“As you may already be aware, what is happening now is actually a national catastrophe. If this is not addressed here and now, the casualties will be in the tens of thousands of units. Perhaps… it would not be strange if the Empire’s dynasty was cut off here.”
“That’s… that’s right…”
“I don’t know if you will believe it or not. Still, let me tell you, there is a way to subdue Velbrok. But… of course it’s not easy. I’ll try my best though…”
Ed, who temporarily refused to support Yenica, walked with his own strength… and bowed his head in front of Emperor Chloel.
“I need Princess Penia. Please allow me to take Princess Fenia.”
“…”
Fenia, who had been lying on the floor, suddenly blushed and shook her shoulders.
Princess Selaha, who was supporting Emperor Chloel, looked still and raised her voice.
“Ed Roth Taylor! Wouldn’t it feel a bit strange to ask for something like that?”
There was silence at Selaha’s words.
No one would think that way, and you might think it was a fuss, but… Selah was speaking more sincerely than I thought.
It must be so, because Penia’s expression wasn’t unusual from before.
Yenika also seems to have a strangely wild stinger… She was looking around with a slightly anxious face.
However, Emperor Chloel is a man of insight.
The more urgent the situation, the more he always penetrates the core.
“Don’t mistake recklessness for courage, Ed Roth-Taylor. That Sung Chang-ryong… is a mythical monster that even the first swordsman Luden had to risk his life for.”
“But you can’t even resist and be killed. If we do not finish here, the damage will spread throughout the continent. For now, I plan to unite the various garrison forces in Aken Island and resist.”
“You’re going to bring together those who are torn and scattered all over the island, and who can’t stand each other and can’t move quickly?”
“Fortunately, I can persuade the leaders of each garrison.”
Combat Student Chief Dyke Elpelan,
Lortel Keheln, Acting President of the Elte Chamber of Sylvania Branch.
Sylvania Academy Student Council President Tanya Rothtailer.
Saint Clarisse of the Church of St. Telos.
Bell Maia, the maid in the top-class dormitory of Ophelis.
Leaders with different values, different lifestyles, and different course of action in these emergencies.
However, if there is only one common denominator among these different people… It is that a man named Ed Roth Taylor is connected at the center of the tangled relationship.
Already, the spirits holding Yenika’s letter flew around Aken Island and scattered.
Originally, it would have been difficult to send a spirit because of the demonic tribes, but by taking advantage of Lucy’s magic once the demons in the sky were swept away… the conditions were created to send a message much faster.
Lucy’s elemental magic was a move that was close to a spur of the moment, but as a result, it made it possible to establish a faster network of contacts between each garrison.
“I sent a message asking you to take responsibility and gather at the Ophelis Hall; You must all know that in the current situation, you will only face catastrophe if you just hold on without any promises.”
Among the dying merchants, Lortel was protecting the building by dealing with the monsters with freezing magic. Suddenly, a low wind spirit in the shape of a sparrow flew over to her shoulder and sat down.
While the mercenaries of the Sanghoe fight screaming, outsiders requesting protection constantly rush into the Sanghoe building.
In the midst of such chaos, Lortel found a letter tied to the spirit’s feet sitting on her shoulder, and quickly pulled it out and read it.
Although it is a crisis situation that makes her mind far away, she somehow smiles and looks up at the sky covered with magic circles.
I thought it was a gamble worth taking.
The same is true of Dyke Elpelan, who is in the process of rescuing survivors at the combat training ground. After accepting Ed’s letter, he shrugged his shoulders and pondered, and then shouted to the students of the combat club stationed there.
The road to the Ophelis Hall has already been cleared to some extent by the blood-crazed Clevius. Running along that road is less risky. It was a decision worth making.
Tanya Roth Taylor, who headed to the living quarters, also accepted the letter, and nodded her head. Since Ziggs has already left for the Ophelis Hall, it is not bad to follow them. In particular, if it is a garrison centered around Ed Roth Taylor, it will be safer that way, as many of the core powers within the bachelor’s degree will actually gather.
The distance is a little farther, but if it is the Ophelis tube, there is a greater chance that you will be assured of safety. It may be right to break the moving route even now. First of all, it’s because it’s easiest to follow Ed Roth Taylor’s path.
The same is true of Saint Claris, who was gathering with the clergy at the Haksa Cathedral to sit down.
Since she had heard some criticism about Velbrok’s resurrection, she was able to deal with it more calmly than expected. It was a quicker resurrection than expected, but it was because his heart was ready.
Clarisse had been waiting for Ed’s call from the beginning. Because the guy who had foreseen Velbrok’s resurrection would try to reach out to him in some way and discuss his course of action.
Clarisse didn’t even suspect in the first place about the plan to gather at the Ophelis Hall and go to subjugate that Velbrok.
In order to give instructions to the priests as it is, they just ran out towards the barricade in the square in front of the cathedral.
“You can be sure. Everyone will gather at the Ophelis Hall.”
“Ha… heh heh…”
Emperor Chloël laughed as if it was ridiculous.
Even the emperor of a country has a mix of greetings that are difficult to control at once. In particular, big players such as Saint Clarisse and Lortel were more likely to judge conservatively in such an urgent situation.
Is it possible to grab those characters at once and collect them in the Ophelis Hall?
He who leads the pack always has to calculate the risk. I know better than anyone how difficult it is to make a decision to move the garrison forcibly and gather in one place while navigating the monster tribes…how politically arduous it is to make all the different heads move with one mind.
Nevertheless, this man is convinced that he can unite the torn forces into one place.
Humans who can do that are one of two types.
or politics.
Or maybe a hero.
which one is this guy Emperor Chloël looked at Ed as he bled for a moment, but did not draw a conclusion.
Either way it doesn’t matter
Right now, it’s important to address the situation at hand.
Whether it’s a political nerd or a hero who can control people… the key is the fact that the leaders of the garrison obey Ed’s will.
If so, isn’t it the right decision for the emperor to believe in this man’s policy?
Emperor Chloël looked at Ed Rothtailer silently.
Is it a new spark from the Roth Taylor family that Crepin held and shook?
This and that, it was not a family with rotten roots.
