The knight had a conversation with Mark, and then jumped off his horse.
And Mark turned his head toward Erdun.
“Come on, get on this horse. I will try to escape this place with the young lady.”
The number of black magicians is about 10 or so.
They continued their attack in the mountains where horses were difficult to enter.
“Everyone, get off your horse! Attack them!”
“let’s go!”
Knights jumping off horses. They immediately rushed into the mountains.
From then on, the road was empty.
Mark caught a warhorse wandering around and immediately followed Erdun.
All over again.
“You have to run faster!”
Mark approached Erdun’s side before he knew it. At his cry, Erdun strongly pulled the reins of his horse while checking his daughter’s condition.
“Wow!”
As soon as the sound of the horses’ hooves began to speed up, Erdun spoke to Elizabeth.
“Be patient! At the current rate, we should be able to reach the territory in an hour!”
“I-I’m fine.”
Elizabeth answered in a low voice as if telling her not to worry.
Seeing his daughter like that, Erdun bit his lip.
Then he sighed in anger.
‘How dare the cursed beings appear in this world… … ! I have to inform the imperial family of this right away and punish them all!’
However, Erdun’s face, which had been filled with anger, was soon stained with despair.
A wooden fence blocking the front. Moreover, this time around 30 masked people were waiting for Erdun’s group.
“This, this… … .”
Mark shook his head with a puzzled look on his face.
“My lord, hurry up and run away to the mountains. I’ll stop them!”
It seemed difficult to get over the wooden fence on horseback.
No, they will be attacked by the masked people before that.
Rather, it felt more realistic to get off the horse and run away on the mountain.
Mark pulls the horse’s reins and gallops toward the fence.
“aaa!”
He let out a roar to deceive fear. And stepping on the saddle, jumped high and rushed at the masked people.
Erdun, who was watching him, muttered in a small voice, ‘I’m sorry.’ I couldn’t do anything for him right away.
Erdun got off the horse as Mark said and went up the mountain with Elizabeth on his back.
“ha… … . ha… … . ha… … .”
Erdun started to run out of breath after just 10 minutes.
He blamed his past self for neglecting his body as he got older.
Of course, the weight of Elizabeth on her back must have contributed to the consumption of her stamina.
But even so, he had no intention of abandoning her.
‘Even if it means giving up my life, as much as Elizabeth… … You can never lose!’
Sweat drenched the whole body.
And Elizabeth, who had been listening to his rough breathing, opened her lips as if determined to do something.
“father… … . Leave me down, and hurry up and run away to the manor.”
Erdun answered as if he couldn’t believe it when he heard his daughter’s small voice behind him.
“Nonsense! ha… … . ha… … . This father was also an excellent swordsman in the past. To this extent… … !”
“You are an excellent prosecutor… … . But I never thought you’d come this way.”
A young man’s voice came from the front.
At that, Erdun stopped talking and flinched.
“Eh, what the hell… … .”
Erdun’s body stiffened at the sight of countless masked people in front of him.
From noble mtl dot com
How many black magicians are there? And why are you targeting them?
Did you read Erdun’s thoughts?
A masked man shrugged as he stepped forward.
“Don’t be too resentful? It’s because we are also ordered by the superior. I never thought that more than 100 people would be deployed on site… … . Well, as ordered, Viscount Erdun L Rose, the head of the Rose family, will be killed, and Lady Elizabeth L Rose will be captured alive.”
Erdun said in a low voice as he dropped Elizabeth off.
“Run. My ankle hurts, but… … . We have to run to the death!”
“Ha, but… … .”
“hurry!”
At her father’s scolding, Elizabeth quickly turned to the right and ran away, even with her eyes wet.
A masked man who stared at him.
“Follow me.”
At his one word, two masked men pursued Elizabeth.
Erdun quickly threw himself to block the masked people who were pursuing his daughter.
Wedge!
“… … You guys can’t take one step out of here until I die!”
“You are laughing. An old man who is tired just coming up here… … . handle it!”
The masked men pulled their swords from their waists and immediately rushed towards Erdun.
Erdun’s sword began to glow with blue energy.
And the swords held by the masked people had a black aura. In other words, the demonic energy was entwined.
Chaeeng-!
“Keugh!”
Chae Chae Chae!
“Kuaaa!”
Erdun burst into a roar at the enemies.
however… … .
Chow ah-!
“Hey… … !”
No matter how much he handles the sword skills of an intermediate expert, his opponents are skilled people who are active as 4th grade members even in the Death Parade. All of them were dealing with sword skills ranging from intermediate to advanced experts.
Erdun swinging his sword in front of 10 church members.
It was barely possible for him to deal with only two people, and the moment the third man rushed at him, he had no choice but to allow an attack easily.
Fu-wook!
“Big… … . Cool!”
I finally got my heart pierced.
Church members passed him in pursuit of Elizabeth.
Erdun followed their movements with his eyes, but soon fell to his knees on the floor spewing blood.
dump.
As he leaned over and fell to the floor, three church members surrounded him.
“Even nobles are no big deal. After all, it’s just fluff.”
A church member stepped on Erdun’s head and said.
Then the colleagues around me nodded in agreement.
“It’s cheesy… … . That’s right. The lord of the area where I lived had no choice but to plunder his people somehow. I never thought that I, who was criticized for being inferior, would be able to step on a nobleman’s head like this. Kkeukkeuk.”
“If the headmaster rules this continent, we can rule at least one village, right?”
“I heard that third-class members are even given titles?”
They sat on their backs and had a leisurely conversation.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth, fleeing from her pursuers, fell off the mountain and, as luck would have it, hit her head on a rock.
The church members stopped in their seats and stared blankly at her.
Red blood dripping from his head.
Someone who saw it hurriedly took out a potion from his bosom.
“Sir, hurry up and get the potion… … !”
However, a church member who quickly approached Elizabeth shook her head.
“… … He is already dead.”
The faces of the church members were distorted by his confirmation shot.
“Damn it, what now?”
“… … I’ll keep in touch with Deliber. You guys drop Viscount Rose’s corpse around the wagon, and bring all the valuable items from the wagon.”
They created a situation where the Rose family was attacked by bandits.
* * *
The 31st base of the Church of Death Parade located in the southern region of the Labadian Empire.
The leader of the base, Alex, was a man who swore allegiance to Ellen, who was called the successor of the next Spey One family, while following the second apostle, Grans.
Ellen, who is currently recognized as a third-class member by Grans.
Alex was also a third-class member like him, but the futures between the two were very different.
Unlike Eren, who had the second apostle as his father and inherited the Speyone family, Alex did not have a proper back row.
Because of this, it was Alex who clung to Ellen and was greedy for success. He had to remember that he was on a hostile line with Keynes because of Ellen’s order he had received this time.
“… … Kayneth H Spay One. Certainly fourth circle magic is intimidating, but there is a difference in experience between me and him.”
After reaching the 4th circle, Alex recalled the countless battles he had gone through.
Alex, who showed superior skills than anyone else in terms of ability.
did you admit it?
The upper level praised Alex for his achievements and was discussing upgrading to a second-class member.
but… … .
“… … It has already been two years since the promotion was discussed. There is no possibility of becoming a second-class church member right now. But if you follow Ellen… … Certainly, I too can become a high-ranking noble in this empire. Kayneth’s future is certainly great, but his value with Ellen, who will become the crown prince, is on a different level.”
The time when the Church will devour the world.
Grans, the second apostle, received a promise from the religious leader to inherit the Labadian Empire.
The Spey One family, who will become the imperial family.
Alex speculated that Eren would succeed Grans, who had become emperor.
smart smart
“Leader.”
Deliber, an executive at Base 31, enters Alex’s office.
When he reported the death of Erdun and the knights, Alex nodded in satisfaction.
But the moment Elizabeth’s death was mentioned, Alex’s eyebrows twitched.
“… … Did Lady Elizabeth die?”
“They said it was impossible to treat with potions.”
“Okay… … .”
Alex groaned, then pressed his thumb to his temple.
“First of all, I guess I should tell Master Ellen. Didn’t you clean up after that?”
“Yes, after recovering the money, we placed the corpses of Viscount Rose and the knights around the wagon and in the mountains. And since the corpses of the bandits prepared in advance were properly thrown away… … .”
“Yes, the external part will be taken care of by Master Ellen.”
If the clear clean-up and Eren’s ability were added, this case could be finished with a simple raid by bandits.
Of course, the imperial family would move a large-scale punitive force. However, only bandits and thieves in the vicinity suffer damage. It can be seen that there is little damage done to the church.
“Lady Elizabeth told me to bring her to the base, but… … .”
“… … Tied to a chair and take a picture. You can send it along with the letter so that Kayneth can come back on his own.”
“All right.”
Chapter 97
97. Lure (4)
Quaang!
“That, what the hell does that mean!”
Unlike usual, I received Albert’s report with a distraught figure.
And are you surprised by my anger?
Albert continued with a slightly puzzled expression.
-… … The imperial family must have already received a report. Due to bandits’ attack, Lady Elizabeth goes missing. The head of the Rose family died along with about 30 other knights… … .
“Who the hell is that… … !”
– We are also currently investigating. Obviously, it’s not an ordinary bandit. The skills of the 1st Knights of the Rose family are quite famous even in the southern region. However, a group of bandits… … .
At Albert’s continued remarks, I furrowed my brows and tore my hair hard.
Elizabeth’s disappearance is something that never happened in the original novel. Perhaps the incident happened because I changed the future.
And, as Albert said, it was also nonsensical that a bandit or something like that would defeat the 1st Knights of the Rose family.
I don’t know if the bandits were united… … .
The bandits are uniting to attack the Rose family’s wagon. Nonsense!
“Send a search party to the area immediately.”
-Currently, the area is managed by the Imperial Search Team. The Ardennes family conducting the search alone… … .
“Then move the intelligence guys.”
-… … All right. Then, we will contact you as soon as information comes in.
“okay.”
