chapter 37
37 – 36. Announcements.
The Marquis Grepa, who greatly strengthened his power through the marriage alliance with the former emperor, who was once the crown prince, first built his own mansion.
The mansion, which was huge but common sense, has already become more of a palace than a mansion, and the Grepa family reigned like kings in the west.
If another family had done such a thing, they would have heard the voice of a traitor, but the only person who could point a finger at the emperor’s father-in-law was the emperor himself, and fortunately, the former emperor was quite well-to-do with the former head of state.
In this way, the Marquis of Grepa enjoyed power that was not lacking compared to other dukes, and the mansion of Grepa, which symbolized such authority, was half destroyed in the battle with Tiwan, a prisoner, and fell into ruins.
“I don’t have the face to see my previous head of household.”
At the center of the ruined mansion, Fried Grepa said lamentably.
Fried, who was looking at the mansion with only traces left, turned his gaze and looked ahead.
In front of him, the chieftain of the baronial clan who had made the mansion look like this was kneeling with swords stuck all over his body.
“Damn it… “
The chieftain of the Baron. Tiwan felt very unfair.
A master who fits within ten fingers even if he himself is a beast.
He heard from the head lord that there would be a Master who was also hidden by the writer after Grepa, but he didn’t care much.
How could a human master stand up to himself?
Even if he was surrounded by more than five Masters, he was confident that he would kill the Marquis and escape.
There were three Masters of Grepa he actually faced, including the Marquis, and two of them except the Marquis couldn’t inflict any damage on him, so his confidence wasn’t just a bluff.
Does that mean the Marquis is so incredibly strong that he himself is defeated?
If that was the case, he wouldn’t have been unfair.
“… Are you a master or a swordsman?”
As a master of Marquis Fried, his ability is swordsmanship.
Whether you handle a single sword skillfully or multiple swordsmanship
There is a difference, but there was nothing special about swordsmanship itself, an ability used by quite a few masters.
The problem was the sword the Marquis used.
Tiwan tried to force himself up, but his body wouldn’t listen.
Curses piled up, and Tiwan’s poisoned body continued to eat away at Tiwan’s vitality.
To think that Tiwan, the chieftain of the Baron, is poisoned.
If you tell it to the tribe members, you will hear that it is a joke that is not even funny.
Are you all right except for the poison and the curse? Nor was it.
His right shoulder to arm were completely frozen and immobilized, and his left arm suffered severe burns.
Tiwan raised his head again and looked at his marquis.
There were ten swords flying around the Marquis, but there wasn’t even one ordinary sword among them.
A demonic sword, a divine sword. Or sword.
Legendary swords that could freeze or burn the whole area, pour out terrible curses and poisons, or bestow tremendous blessings on their owners hovered around the Marquis.
“Anything else… Why the hell do you have a nang-a sword?”
A long time ago, a dragon was held in the hand of a beastman and slashed a dragon. Why is the sword that appears in the legend of the beastman tribe held in human hands?
“I don’t know. Our Majesty must have found it somewhere.”
Our warrior has no interest in collecting swords, so he returned to me.
After adding that, Marquis Grepa said mockingly.
“Beast, how dare you touch the empire. You look crazy Is it just this sword? Now you will lose everything If His Majesty is merciful, you beasts will live as our slaves, otherwise beastmen will become a fantasy race that can only be found in librarians. Like giants.”
According to the librarian who wrote the ancient history, the giants who ruled the continent in the past challenged the Dragon Lord without knowing the answer, and as a result, it is said that they became extinct.
As I said, the situation of the giants and the beasts
I thought they were quite similar, so Fried was satisfied with his analogy.
“Kuh, human. Just defeating the chieftain of one tribe and being so arrogant? Does the beastman look funny because he knocked me down?”
“What if?”
“Ha ha ha! If so, that’s a serious miscalculation! Our leader is much stronger than me! Is that all! The day our guardian spirit awakens, you humans will face the end.”
Because the Nang’a sword cut through the air and cut Tiwan’s head, he couldn’t finish his words.
“Did beasts have guardian spirits? I must inform His Majesty.”
Since the mansion was destroyed, it would be very cumbersome to find the crystal ball for communication and contact the imperial palace.
Ah, by the way, I hope the princess is safe.
What. His Majesty must have done well.
“My lord.”
As I turned my head, the two Masters, who had been knocked out by Tiwan’s attack, approached me as if they had no face and bowed their heads.
“Should we take care of the mansion first?”
“No. You lead your knights around the whole West. In the process, he kills all the beasts he sees. I will be with you too.”
“”Yes, sir.””
—————————————————————————
“Princess, you must never leave my side.”
Ar, an academy cadet, grabbed the sword with trembling hands and said.
The academy, a sacred place of learning built with the grace of His Majesty, is filled with the blood of the students, not the passion for learning.
My friends, my seniors. Juniors. Instructors.
All of them, who had been laughing and talking until yesterday, were all lying in the cold corpses.
‘Why… This happened… ‘
“Have you not given up yet? You have good eyes.”
Everything is because of the author.
A beastman with wings on his back.
The beastman, who wielded a huge greatsword with one hand, said as if he would be merciful to him.
“My goal is the princess. If she hands over the princess, I’ll let her go.”
“Shut up!”
I’ll kill everyone around me and let the princess go because I’ll save her?
Not even funny.
Your Majesty ordered me.
To escort the princess.
And… Actually, that’s not all.
It was only for surveillance, but while she was with the princess, the presence of the princess in Ar continued to grow.
He is kind, caring, and kind to everyone.
He is the noblest member of the royal family, but he shares his light with the common people.
Princess Rael is not someone who deserves to die in a place like this.
Promising to himself like that, Ar grabbed his heart.
Now I feel like I know what the realm of an expert is.
I don’t think that even the president, who is the master, can do anything about that guy who couldn’t stop it.
However, if you throw this one, the princess will have enough time to run away…
“Are you serious?”
Ar’s thoughts were broken by the words the princess had uttered.
“Hmm?”
“The Princess!”
“Ar.”
Lightly restraining Ar, the princess stepped in front of Ar and said.
“Will you send Ar?”
At the princess’ bold words, a beastman. The Chief of the Mae tribe nodded and said.
“Of course. I never tell a lie I swear to our Guardian God.”
“Princess, I can’t.”
Ar hastily moved her steps and tried to stand in the way of the princess again, but was stopped by Rael’s gesture.
She was the light gesture of a girl who had never practiced a sword, but she was imbued with an irresistible dignity, so she couldn’t go any further.
“Promise, keep it.”
After saying that, the princess slowly moved her steps toward the beastman.
No, no.
It must be dried.
We must stop the princess.
But what next?
After the princess was stopped, what should I do?
No matter what, we will all die.
She said that the princess decided to sacrifice herself in order to save me.
What should I do?
Should I live?
Just me?
Mr. Instructor and other cadets.
Everybody is dead, should I be the only one living?
Why?
If I step out here, it will be dog death.
Is there any meaning to such a death?
But, if you cowardly survive here,
What is the meaning of such a life?
Your Majesty asked me to escort the princess, but what am I doing now?
The princess is over there, what am I doing right now?
As he continued his thoughts, he saw the beastman’s greatsword move in his eyes, and at that moment, before he could think of anything, the sword moved first.
An intense aura that was not thought to be from an expert only attacked the beastman, and the beastman flinched for a moment, and Ar ran out as if being shot.
