[The Duke’s Knight] Gallon
He was heading to the countryside on the orders of the Duke.
“Sir Gallon. A little further away is the village you mentioned.”
Of course he wasn’t alone.
There were also soldiers to carry out the mission and mercenaries to lead the way. It was a lot of troops for a secret mission.
But the army had a reason.
[Your mission is to safely escort the prince who lives as a serf. Externally, it will be to deliver the Duke’s gift to the high lord. Don’t be noticed and go quietly.]
Galon thought of the command for a moment, and then his eyes flashed when he heard that he had reached his destination.
“I see. And just in case you don’t know, be on your guard.”
At Galon’s instructions, the two men following him burst into laughter.
“Sir Gallon. At the very least, would there be even a bandit in a mountain like this?”
“you’re right. Only idiots will hide in front of this duke’s flag.”
They were the centurion commander who commanded 100 soldiers and the mercenary commander hired for this mission.
“How much more so, with Sir Gallon, one of the Duke’s five knights, who would attack?”
“haha. you’re right. Five knights of the Duke Garcia, even street kids know.”
But Galon answered in a cold voice.
“We are on a secret mission. We must rule out unfavorable situations as much as possible. If you understand, strengthen your boundaries immediately.”
“All right.”
The centurion and the mercenary commander muttered as they retreated with a poopy expression on their faces.
“shit. I thought it would be an easy task to just bring a kid from the countryside.”
“That’s it. People aren’t that flexible.”
“I’m not very flexible, so I’m going to get a chore like this.”
But that was then.
“Hey, the centurion and the mercenary commander are so flexible that they seem to overflow with words, don’t they?”
“!?”
A young man appeared next to the two of them talking.
And the centurion was about to say something to him, but the young man was smiling as if he had ever been sarcastic.
“Well, I understand. But Sir Gallon is the Duke’s favorite knight.”
“···!”
“Obviously, Ceiling Grayson also wentssips about him in the past.this…”
The young man clapped his neck with the blade of his hand.
In the end, the white man, whose complexion became pale, fell as if he had ever cursed.
“ah! right! Sir Gallon told us to strengthen our vigilance quickly!”
“Come on, you too! First, grab your weapon… What are you talking about! okay! Tighten your boundaries right now!
Eventually, even the mercenary captain moved quickly, and the young man raised the corner of his mouth.
“It would be like that.”
“Did the reconnaissance go well? Sir Nathan.”
“Ah, Sir Ah Galon!”
Galon sighed when he saw Nathan, a knight like him.
“A village?”
Nathan shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened.
“It was a peaceful village with no problems. It just seems that the plaza is a bit bustling, causing a commotion.”
“disturbance?”
“It seems that the lord is moving the soldiers… well, he must be able to subdue even the lords. It was not a good place for the people.”
But Gallon narrowed his brow.
As he said, it could be a simple riot control.
‘Someone may have noticed the royal lineage before us and moved.’
There may have been a problem with the target he had to escort.
Gallon quickly found the centurion.
“I will go first. The centurion leads the soldiers and mercenaries and follows them.”
“Yes?! Oh no, Sir Gallon!”
Galon hurriedly drove his horse. All that follows him is Nathan.
But Nathan had a look of anticipation.
He had no choice but to do so.
Genius Knight Galon
As a commoner, he almost became a royal knight who said that only the best knights in the kingdom could enter.
There was no one among the nobles who did not know him.
Because of that, when the duke took him as a vassal, he felt sorry for the dynasty.
It was impossible for anyone to defeat him in such a rural town.
‘It’s a good opportunity to see his skills from the sidelines.’
But Galon hardened his face at Nathan’s expression.
“Right now, my mission is my priority. hide your face Nathan.”
“Okay. okay. You are such a boring friend.”
That was when the two arrived at the problematic place.
Galon’s eyes widened noticeably.
‘That one?’
He couldn’t help but marvel at the sight unfolding before his eyes.
It was a child running rampant against the adults, or even the soldiers.
It seemed that there was an energy to overwhelm the opponent in his seemingly simple swordplay.
Nathan also had his mouth wide open. He was surprised.
“Great. Such a move against such an opponent. Have you ever learned swordsmanship from a retired knight somewhere?”
Of course, for an orthodox swordsmanship, something seemed lacking.
However, Nathan was also a swordsman who took on the duty of escorting the duke at a young age. He was strong enough to defeat any number of people by himself.
Because he knew it well.
How difficult it is to be moving that much against that number.
But that wasn’t the part that surprised Gallon.
“That is the royal sword.”
“What? A royal sword?”
Nathan opened his mouth involuntarily. It was far away, so I couldn’t see his face or appearance very well, but
“If you look at the way he is dressed, he pretends to be a serf, but how can such a little boy… ah!”
Galon smiled as if intrigued.
‘Is that him? The one I will bring to the Duke.’
goal of this mission. The king’s seventh bastard was evident.
Nathan, who looked at the scene as if surprised, was sweating profusely.
He had no choice but to do so.
‘That stab.’
Nathan was really startled by Ian’s stab.
A stabbing is an attack aimed at the opponent’s life. Because of this, beginners tended to stop thinking that their opponent might die.
By the way.
“There is no fearNo. No hesitation.”
“okay. You seem very familiar with such situations. It’s like that with a ceremonial swordsmanship.”
“You say that… what?! A ceremonial swordsmanship?!”
Nathan was furious as if it was nonsense.
“No matter how much you are dealing with a third-rate, that is not a ceremonial sword no matter how you look at it!”
As Nason knew, the ceremonial swordsmanship was just a flirtatious swordsmanship. It could never be used for practical purposes.
But are you fighting with that kind of swordsmanship?
But Galon’s eyes twinkled.
Obviously, the ceremonial swordsmanship is a flimsy swordsmanship.
Of course, you can use it for practical use, but the world doesn’t even know if that’s possible.
Even the fact that some of the ceremonial swordsmanships are excellent as dodge skills.
‘I don’t know where I learned that…’
From https://noblemtl.com
Maybe it’s because that kid doesn’t know anything but that? Or did he know that fact and use it on purpose?
And with Galon’s changed eyes, Nathan couldn’t say anything.
‘That Gallon…’
It was certain. It was the eyes that were interested in that little boy.
So it was hard to believe.
‘He was the one who refused even the Crown Prince who asked me to teach him swordsmanship…’
A prince who was praised for having the best swordsmanship among princes. He didn’t even get Galon’s attention.
And while you two are talking.
The situation was almost at an end.
“Both die!”
Overseer Johnson used the serf to target Ian’s holes.
If left alone, both Ian and the serf would surely be pierced by Johnson’s sword.
Nathan reflexively drew his sword.
“No more! We’re going… huh?”
Nathan said no more.
It must be so, and Galon, who was supposed to be next to him, disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Gallon!”
That was the moment.
Scratch!
Johnson’s arm, which was aiming for the royal bloodline, fell to the floor.
*
“…”
In an instant, silence fell in the square.
Not only the lord, but none of the soldiers who attacked Ion were able to open their mouths or move.
A man who suddenly appeared like that.
He cut off Johnson’s arm and stood guarding Ian’s face.
“If anyone moves even one more step from there, I will cut off his arms.”
Probably in the late 20’s or so.
He was a handsome man with a rare status that is not easily accessible in such a rural area.
And it was terrifying that such a man suddenly appeared and cut off the supervisor’s arm.
“You are late.”
At Ion’s laugh, the soldiers were terrified.
That’s right, a uniform that catches the eye more than a man’s silver hair!
That was the problem.
‘That’s a knight…!’
no doubt
And Ian is a lowly serf.
No matter how serf he is, you would know that he is a knight just by looking at his appearance, but he speaks against knights with titles.
And the knights were not tolerant of being insulted.
‘He’s going to die…!’
But something was strange.
“sorry.”
Wasn’t Gallon the knight bowing his head toward Ian?
In fact, Ian was also surprised.
‘Apologize to me?’
Knights were basically a race with a very high nose.
His personality was so dirty that he even ignored him as a bastard, who was of the blood of a king in the past.
So Ion, who looked at him curiously, was surprised inside.
‘This guy is…!’
Looking at the familiar uniform, I thought he was the duke’s knight, but his face was now confirmed.
And he’s obviously a knight gallon.
‘A loyal servant whom the duke loved and relied on…!’
Although he was a commoner for the rest of his life, he was also the man who played the most decisive role in the duke’s victory in the War of Succession.
In a sense, dealing with the peacockHe was a capable knight enough to say that he had to hit him in order to win.
Of course, in the past, his servants came to pick him up, so this was the first and last time I had seen him up close like this.
‘But this time, we met here like this.’
He wasn’t disrespectful, but he wasn’t polite either.
Rather, I remember being overwhelmed by that spirit and not being able to say a word to him properly.
But it was that moment.
“Hey, you crazy bastards!”
Johnson screamed as he collapsed, his arm missing.
“Do you know who I am! I am the lord’s supervisor! Do you dare to get out of this place safely even if you cut off the arm of the lord’s servant?”
He was so angry that there was blood in his eyes.
And in his anger, his soldiers rushed in.
“Johnson! Stop! I… that one!”
There was one reason they hadtily stopped Johnson.
Because they were special.
And the knights were not just talking about those who excelled in swordsmanship.
[vow]
Unlike soldiers, knights make only one oath throughout their lives.
And that oath gave the knight great power.
A superpower that can destroy mountains with a single sword.
The stamina that does not get tired even when fighting against a million armies.
Invisible speed.
A deep eye that can see through enemies even when you cover your eyes.
Due to the oath, the knights of this continent were able to directly use their miraculous powers.
But how could a supervisor with such power swear at a knight with such power?
‘Wow… we’re all going to die.’
It was natural for the soldiers and villagers to tremble.
But Johnson rolled his eyes.
“What is a knight, what do you know? That’s right, swordsmen who don’t even have a title!”
Johnson, who was nothing more than a peasant man, was still unaware of the seriousness of the article. If not, he might have lost his mind to the pain.
And then, Nathan, who approached me at some point, burst into a bloody laugh.
“Sir Gallon. Can’t they tell the front and back? Should I just take care of it?”
Nathan slowly drew his sword.
They’re trying to deal with Johnson for insulting the article.
Johnson screamed at Nathan as he drew his sword.
“Lord! Please help! Come on, put the mace down on that unscrupulous man.”
However, the trouble is the same for the lord.
A knight was not a resource that anyone could have. Even raising just one person, it was impossible to even think of a person with a decent title.
‘Rumor has it that at least 100 soldiers are needed to deal with such a knight.’
In fact, among the knights, it is said that there were many cases where he alone pierced through a large army and killed the enemy commander directly.
However, there were fewer than thirty soldiers here.
He had no choice but to be a lord in a situation where he couldn’t find his knight’s power until he had to wash his eyes.
So I just opened my eyes and looked at them.
“Before you tell the capital and your master, get lost!”
“Are you going to fall?”
“exactly! Why did the knights intervene in educating my Young Ji-min, and this uproar…!”
But Galon didn’t pay attention to them.
Instead of noticing it, it wasn’t that he was approaching Ian.
“Once again, I would like to apologize for being late. Knight Galon. I apologize to Eon.”
dump
He knelt down on one knee toward Ian. A perfect etiquette that can’t miss a single point.
Johnson, who was bleeding and losing his temper at the sight, screamed involuntarily.
“Kneeling to a serf bastard! did you turn Are knights shaking the discipline of the country? What to do with a lowly pig…”
“Shut up that filthy mouth.”
Galon’s eyes, which had never shown any emotion, shone like a wild beast.. Do you think the punishment will be left to the highest-ranking owner, the prince?
Was Nathan conscious of the gaze around him? He also knelt down on his knees and added a word.
“According to the order of the Duke. I have come to see Lee Eon, the seventh prince of the royal family.”
That moment. Johnson and the Lord froze.
Wow… a prince?
