161 Duke’s army appeared
***[Viscount’s Subordinate, Kyle]***
His two daughters worked as maids for the viscount’s family.
The younger daughter was an apprentice maid who had been a maid for several months.
The eldest daughter had been engaged for two years by the Viscountess.
As a family of a similar rank, they decided to get married early next year.
The groom-to-be was one year younger than the daughter, but he was a trustworthy man.
I heard that you meet more often than other fiancés because you are serving as a military officer at the viscount’s house.
There are times when we run into each other in the hallway, and there are times when we deliberately wait and see each other for a bit, the younger daughter secretly tells him and laughs.
As for that person, every time I see you, I give you flowers. face turned red just like an apple But so is my sister. They are the same.
The younger daughter laughed as she said that, and said that she too would like to marry someone like that.
However, the younger daughter died without getting married.
The savages split the belly of the daughter, and the intestines leaked out.
The eldest daughter was collapsing with her fiancé.
Perhaps the fiancé died while wrapping his daughter around.
The fiancé’s head disappeared somewhere and three arrows were stuck in his body.
The eldest daughter was shot in the neck by an arrow.
The village below the castle was safe, but not a single person survived within the walls surrounding the viscount’s mansion.
all dead
‘I can’t forgive you. never forgive I will catch and kill them all.’
Even if I die at their hands, I will never back down.
According to the guide hunter, we almost caught up.
I missed a trace once in the middle, but after moving over to the baron family, I found another trace.
Although Kyle couldn’t see it, there were traces of blood.
It seems to be a different group, the hunter said, but it doesn’t matter.
It’s the same savagery.
kill it
Kyle gritted his teeth, but the hunter in front stopped talking.
“What’s up!”
When Kyle asked, the hunter stretched out his arms with a frightened face.
“There they are…”
Hearing the hunter’s words, he narrowed his eyes, but saw nothing.
The hunter carefully examined Kyle’s face.
“I’m quite slow for a savage. At this speed, you should be able to see me in a few more steps. You won’t need me now. I’m sorry, but I’m here…”
“No. I don’t see them. I can’t confirm what you’re saying.”
“Uh, you promised. I don’t have to show up in front of them…”
“That’s after I’ve seen them clearly.”
“If I had found it, the barbarians would have noticed this side already. That, by the time they can clearly see me, they will be able to see mine from the other side. No, they will notice before that. The barbarians have much better eyesight than we do. .. and… if they find me, I’ll be sure to kill them first.”
The hunter seems completely terrified.
Another man quickly came beside him and prevented him from escaping.
It was time to go a little further while threatening him.
Even in Kyle’s field of vision, a group of people as small as ants loomed dimly.
fewer in number than expected.
It seems to be much less than what people witnessed in the self-governing city.
I don’t know if it’s because they’re other barbarians, or if the city people misunderstand it because they’re too afraid.
‘Anyway, there are more of us.’
At least three or four times more.
Looking at what looked like a cart, it seems that there are injured people as the hunter said.
Subtracting the number of injured, this side is overwhelming.
this is a win
“…”
Four people escaped from the savage group and were running this way.
It’s fast.
It was smaller than an ant just a moment ago, but it got close enough that you could see a person with your own eyes.

Did the group that attacked the viscount’s house, which they pursued first, escape at that speed?
‘Then it would be natural for me to miss it.’
Kyle gritted his teeth.
Anger flared up again.
The image of her dead daughter drooped like a veil into her eyelids.
“Kill them all!”
It was when I pulled the reins while shouting that.
One of the barbarians who had escaped from the group raised something toward them.
and started shouting
the kingdom word
He was saying that he had the duke’s coat of arms.
At that, several people hesitated and stopped talking.
‘A sentence from a duke? Why is that in the hands of a savage…’
The power of the duke’s crest is great.
There is no family in this kingdom that can ignore that.
You can’t even be a king.
The ducal family, which has become richer and stronger in recent years, has already been able to freeze people’s hearts just by its name.
If that was the coat of arms of a real duke, even if the opponent was a barbarian, he couldn’t touch it.
You have to let go of the enemy right in front of your nose.
Kyle gritted his teeth.
‘Such a thing! Can you tolerate it!’
Whether I close my eyes or open them, I think of my daughter who died miserably.
I couldn’t remember the look of those children who were laughing happily anymore.
Only the cold, blood-stained face remained in my mind.
“That’s fake! He’s impersonating a duke. There’s no way a barbarian would have had a duke’s coat of arms!”
Saying that, Kyle exclaimed harshly.
“They killed my family miserably! Don’t be fooled!”
No one would have believed that the duke’s coat of arms was fake.
But they would all be of the same mind.
Loud shouts erupted here and there, and the sound of horses hooves spurring the ground resounded everywhere.
The barbarian holding the brooch of the duke’s crest closed his mouth and aimed his bow.
Arrows fly straight away.
He thought he was aiming for himself, but the arrow lodged in the neck of a nearby hunter.
The arrow was so strong that the hunter flew back like a windblown leaf and fell to the ground.
The hunter, as he said, was the first to die.
The savages who stood in front of us, separated from the crowd, sprang apart on horseback and began firing arrow after arrow.
As you’ve heard, he shoots arrows while riding a horse.
Still, there are no arrows that miss.
They didn’t shoot people, they aimed at horses.
Horses stumbled whenever arrows flew, and people screamed as they fell to the ground or were kicked by their comrades’ hooves.
“These guys are trying to get us off the pack! Don’t deal with them, follow the barbarians! Run faster!”
It was the moment Kyle cried out.
Someone from behind shouted as if suppressing his voice.
“Kingdom army! Reinforcements have arrived!”
At that, Kyle shook his head.
As I turned my gaze to a slightly hilly place away from here, I saw soldiers on horseback, just as my colleague said.
It is not an army that hastily gathered like they did.
They were well-armed soldiers.
“Whoaaa!”
A loud cry rings out.
On the other hand, the faces of the savages who were shooting arrows around us were frozen.
As soon as they spotted the kingdom army, they turned away.
They run towards their herd.
They seemed to think that it was meaningless to deal with us as long as an army like that came.
Kyle’s hips moved by themselves at the sight of the guys running away.
Go after them right now and kill them all…
It was when I thought so.
someone shouted.
“It’s a flag!”
“That’s the duke’s coat of arms.”
“It’s the Duke’s House! That flag is the Duke’s House of Weiss!”
“what?”
When I turned my head to look at the hill, a large flag that hadn’t been there before was held in the soldier’s hand.
It will definitely be a duke.
“But why is the duke here…”
A commotion spread among the allies.
The brooch in the hand of the savage, followed by the Duke’s army.
It was widely known that the duke was friendly with the barbarians.
Maybe to side with them…
‘no! The case is different this time.’
This one was slaughtered unilaterally.
No matter how friendly the duke is to the barbarians, he is not one to turn a blind eye to these atrocities.
He was known as a fair and gentle man.
I heard many times that he reached out to a family in trouble.
There was no way he would condone the atrocities of such cruel savages.
Yes, obviously.
Kyle forced his mind to calm down.
It seems that the savages were confused as well.
As if guarding the cart, barbarian warriors were standing in a circle and standing vigilantly.
Some have arrows ready to shoot at any moment.
Both this side and the Duke’s army.
It was said that the savages were also not sure that the duke was an ally.
Several hundred soldiers escaped from the duke’s army on top of the hill.
It runs straight towards this side.
The one in the front had silver hair blowing in the wind.
‘Duke of Weiss.’
Will the Duke be an ally or an enemy?
Kyle’s hands were sweaty.
As the duke and soldiers approached, the savage holding a brooch and shouting in the language of the kingdom also drove this way.
doesn’t come close
However, if this side speaks loudly, it should be a little audible.
The savage stood there and looked this way with a tense face.
Even when the Duke saw the savage, he didn’t say anything.
It seems certain that he is someone he knows, but he doesn’t say hello.
I just looked at it indifferently and passed by, and drove the horse straight to Kyle.
As the duke came and stood right in front of him, Kyle involuntarily swallowed his saliva.
The duke had no expression as he did when he saw the savage.
just quiet

Duke… What the hell is this guy thinking?
Kyle drove his horse a little forward and approached the Duke.
In this situation, I didn’t think to line up a long line of greetings.
It seems that the duke did not expect a polite greeting either.
As he approached, he immediately opened his mouth.
“I’m not familiar with you. I’ve seen you with Prince Emile before.”
The Duke’s gaze moved to Kyle’s side.
I look at people’s faces intently.
“I’m sorry, but you can’t go any further from here.”
“What, what!”
Kyle’s voice became harsh.
“Duke! Are you on the side of that barbarian! They are sinners who slaughtered innocent people in the kingdom! Are you going to let them go like this?”
The duke looked at him with calm eyes.
Say nothing.
“They killed my daughters!
The duke opened his mouth with an expressionless face.
“Then… what would you like to do?”
“We must track them down to the end and kill them all. Right now, only our viscounts and a few families have suffered, but other families can also suffer. The whole kingdom must rise up in rage! Not one of them, not even one of them. We must kill all of them, so that this will not happen in the future!”
At Kyle’s cry, his colleagues also joined in their voices.
Hearing the people’s clamor, the duke spoke.
“If you do that, the surviving steppes will attack again.”
“coward!”
The words came out without my knowledge.
Was this duke frightened like Prince Emile?
Kyle said with a fist clenched.
“Are you afraid of revenge and let go of your enemies! Would you say that even if the duke’s family were killed! My innocent family is miserable… miserable because of them…”
I was so angry that my voice didn’t come out.
The duke looked at him with calm eyes and nodded.
“Yes. If your family dies innocently or is kidnapped and sold into slavery, of course you will seek revenge.”
“… what?”
Kyle looked at the duke startled.
no way.
The duke quietly looked around him and the people around him.
“That’s why they attacked. Their families… wives and children, sons and fathers… innocent people were being kidnapped and sold into slavery. They did the same thing you tried to do. Only. The one who committed the crime first, I’m sorry, but this side.”
I don’t know such a thing.
The Viscount did not tell Kyle and his companions that he was doing such a thing.
But I had heard from my eldest daughter.
[Father, I saw barbarian people at night. Trapped in a windowless wagon, shackled around the neck and legs… I saw them being transported secretly in the middle of the night. What could happen?]
It is said that the daughter’s fiancé was moving them.
She said she heard the cries of barbarian women in the middle of the night, and her daughter was trembling.
It was a few days before the daughters died.
“…”
Kyle pulled the reins.
The Duke’s words may be true.
But even so, his family is dead.
Not one beloved daughter died, both died.
The one who committed the sin is different, but the dead daughters did not sin, but they died anyway.
No, I like things like that.
I can’t forgive those who killed my daughter.
‘As long as I live, I will never forgive you!’
Kyle rode his horse beside the Duke and started running.
He jumped out first, and a few followed him.
Those who followed were all those who had lost their families in that horror.
It was just when I pulled out the knife.
My body suddenly became heavy.
No, the air is heavy.
“Ugh!”
Unable to overcome the pressure, a suppressed cry burst from Kyle’s mouth.
Almost at the same time, the horse stumbled forward.
Kyle was thrown unsightly to the floor.
So did others.
Horses and people collapsed as if crushed to the ground.
“He said he couldn’t take a single step forward.”
The moment the duke’s words echoed, the air grew heavier.
can’t move
It feels like something invisible is holding me down.
Kyle had no choice but to lie down on the ground.
The duke slowly rode his horse closer to him.
‘This, this… is what the Duke does.’
But how?
Suddenly, a rumor popped into my head that the duke would die just by getting close to the Witchbeast.
‘No way… a lie…’
I thought it was an exaggeration.
There’s no way humans can do that.
I thought so.
But was it really?
“I know your sorrow. Your anger too.”
The duke’s voice quietly vibrated the air.
And a small, barely audible sound touched my ears.
“… I’m sorry.”
With those words, the pressure disappeared and the air became lighter.
However, Kyle fell on his stomach and started crying.
The savage who came close to observe the situation was leaving.
The sound of the horses’ hooves faded away.
You must let go of the enemy in front of your eyes.
I had to watch the guys who killed my daughter leave.
Why… why… is God so cruel?
His cries were mixed with those of his comrades, and sobs spread like huge waves.
Even if ur people was captured into slavery killing every single person is a bit… let’s see how the author solves this issue cos it’s tough
