No matter how many Aurors you have, you cannot ignore the advantages of height and range, and if your skills are similar, the difficulty of the battle will naturally vary depending on whether you have a spear or a bow..

But even that doesn't really mean anything if the skill gap is too severe. No matter what they are holding, if they rush at you and break the pot into pieces, it will be over. Isn’t that what technology is like??

If there is a difference in proficiency and ability to that point, it is more cumbersome to hold a sword of the same length as it is now. I wouldn't know it if they were people who were united in camaraderie, but it was even more annoying if they were people who were focused on each other's achievements and tried to stab me whenever the opportunity presented itself, regardless of whether they were allies or not..

But what if the opponents are people who haven't even awakened Aurors? It becomes nothing at all.

In normal cases, you would be concerned about the condition of the weapon, but in this case, it has the power to replace people and equipment with a damn chainsaw, so even that is out of the question..

And to prove it, the effect of the first blow swung showed the same clear effect as in the alley..

Because three people were cut like tofu with armor on..

Needless to say their reaction.

"Wow!?!"

"Fuck, fuck! Move! Get out of the way!"

With just that one move, the movements of the soldiers who had been rushing in with some excitement were twisted, and what had been just 5 minutes ago turned into complete chaos..

A guy who sees it in front of his eyes and takes it out without the slightest hesitation, a guy who still uses his brains and tries to stab in, believing that since he cut him once, there will be an opening, a guy who still runs fearlessly because he can't see because he's blocked by others, and understands the situation from the reaction in front of him. A guy who hesitates to do something, etc..

All the reactions that unfolded before my eyes in a short moment were so pathetic that even the motivation I had managed to muster up disappeared..

"But I'm an Eldmia who doesn't procrastinate."

Since I never swung my sword so lightly that I let go of my hand just because I lost motivation, I dodged the sword of the guy who couldn't even tell whether it was an opening or not and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying into the middle of the crowd, which was chaos itself..

Then, other guys who saw the person crossing the air with just one kick noticed what was wrong and began to measure the angle of escape, further increasing the confusion..

From the start, the level of power is different. The ridiculous sight of a path opening just by holding the dual swords and swinging from side to side was created, so I almost burst out laughing, but I did my best to hold back. Still, I think it would be a bit dangerous if the evaluation of a psychopath who laughs while cutting people to death is lowered..

The attempt to break through the center to send the soldiers forward and run to the guys who were sighing in relief was accomplished with ridiculous ease. It's not like I'm dealing with 20 people in 5 rounds, I think I only cut about 20 people while trying to get through that crowd..

When the nobles saw me like that, their complexions turned white and they started pointing and shouting..

"Oh, stop it! Stop that guy right now!"

"Also, don't run away! Kill that traitor!"

Was the reason they didn't run away due to an unfounded belief that the situation would improve under their orders, or was it their pride as nobles?.

Either way, it didn't seem particularly nutritious, so I accelerated without hesitation and cut off their heads..

"With a sword in both hands, it's really easy to cut off the heads of clumsy guys.."

The private soldiers named Groshan, whose heads were first blown off, had already fled in all directions as soon as I ran towards them, and the few private soldiers they had left behind to act as escorts quickly closed the distance and, after picking off the heads of the nobles, raised their weapons without any hesitation. I abandoned it and ran away..

This roughly achieves the goal..

After blocking the only entrance to the outside of the Envelde Mansion with a slight sense of accomplishment, I looked around the mansion with a new mind. Instead of the chaos that had been maintained just a moment ago, the attention of the survivors began to focus on me in an atmosphere filled with emptiness..

"Either put down your weapon or try to kill me and run away. Make your own choice."

Unless you pole vault over the fence, that's your only option..

Fortunately, the soldiers, who had no intention of promising compensation, laid down their weapons without hesitation..

◈

While blocking the entrance to the mansion, imitating floor covering equipment, the public's attention began to grow, and surprisingly, it was Duke Lethrom who appeared from the far end..

"...It's late."

It was not easy to understand why the old man had appeared, but I was not in a position to ask him warmly, so I just stood there staring blankly. Then, Duke Lesrom, with a tired face, got off his horse and began to approach me with a light gesture and accompanied by his guards..

"To keep others from coming."

Then he set up a perimeter in the shape of a semicircle and spoke to me..

"It seems like it's been a long time since I didn't know what to say first.."

"Since you have a lot of time anyway, please tell me what comes to mind. But before that, how could your Excellency come in the first place??"

"The one who serves dreams gave me the words. You stormed Envelde's mansion.."

Of course I thought we were going to Ogatorf Manor or something. I think Mongsoon’s ability to judge the situation and react quickly was better than I expected..

While I was once again admiring Mongsuni's abilities, Duke Lesrom calmly looked at me and asked:.

"Rather, how on earth could Envelde... no. That's for later. How far did you expect to move??"

"what do you mean?"

"No matter how much he is plotting treason, Envelde is clearly a nobleman and his guilt has not yet been proven. In such a situation, going into the mansion, killing his private soldiers, and then killing the person himself is never a wise choice... in general.."

Duke Lesrom's eyes narrowed. There are no uncomfortable feelings there. It was just an effort to understand my intentions as much as possible in case I hid my true feelings or avoided answering..

"But you never make the first move when things are at a disadvantage. I... consider your actions this time to be a protest against the royal family.."

"That's a really great perspective. Why??"

"Whatever the process and intention, the royal family neglected the danger of you and Margrave Levien in order to capture Envelde. 'Didn't it end well in the end?' What we can say is that it is only a result. If someone's abilities were lacking, there would definitely be many dangerous situations. If it wasn't for 'someone'."

"This must be a situation where that 'someone' may be very unpleasant. Well, even I would be a little angry about that.."

He answered jokingly, but rather than looking particularly displeased, Duke Lethrom just sighed with a tired look..

"Even after clearing Envelde, the royal family attempted to make some side profits through you and Margrave Levien. I wouldn't have meant to give you any compensation in the meantime, but even so, I don't think it was something you would have liked. At least, in my judgment, you operate by that logic and say, 'I have received compensation, so I can overlook the past.' He's not the type of guy to do the same thing.."

Even though he had only exchanged a few words with me, Duke Lesrom was perceptive. This is why politicians shouldn’t interact with each other..

"So, my guess is that you took the lead before the royal family disposed of Envelde through due process and used your position to suit their taste.."

So to speak, it was fucked..

The royal family cannot reject me as I am now. Even Ragnis cannot be defeated. Regardless of what I didn't intend to throw away in the first place, I can't now even if I want to..

Ogwen's purpose of bringing her to the capital through such unnecessary dramatic production was to make her an ill-fated heroine and at the same time give legitimacy to the restoration of the territory and inspire heroism in young people..

What about me, who came unexpectedly there? Now, not only is she connected to the empire, but she is also a talented person who defeated the hero and Rudra's bastards, and is also the messenger who personally delivered the iron blood princess's personal letter. Even if you can't guess the personal relationship between me and Esmueh based on that alone, it's not enough to please me until I at least find out what it meant to deliver the country's letter through an individual..

In other words, no matter how crazy I am at this moment, the royal family will have to do everything they can to cover it up. But even that act of going on a rampage was nothing more than rounding out traitors, so there is no justification for criticizing him..

A backlash from some nobles due to actions that disregarded noble authority and due process? Even that is a benefit to me. If there is such a backlash, there will be no way to acknowledge my achievements but exploit them on a large scale..

Since I enjoyed drinking alone on a table that had been carefully prepared for the royal family, there would be no more appropriate expression than that I was screwed.

As Zikmel said, information can only show its true value when it meets the right customer at the right time, but would you have imagined that someone could snatch it up just because it was useless and use it for whatever they want??

I couldn't have done it. What kind of crazy person would mess with a country's royal family like that?.

But reality always surpasses imagination. But it actually happened.

"''I have shown myself how well I can utilize the environment surrounding me, but I have brought more benefit than harm... so don't touch it.' Isn’t that what you wanted to say with this attack??"

"well...?"

"Still, I didn't show you any awkward corners, did I? I wish you would give me an answer, at least for the sincerity with which you drove your horse all the way here in such a hurry with your old body.."

Eight washpal. Emotional arm. But it's hard to reject this completely.

Just because he understands all of this doesn't mean it's common for a duke to put down his own position and go along with it. He is a man who is sincere in everything he does in the hope that it will somehow help the royal family and the country..

Rather, the typical reaction is to get angry and get upset because they are arrogant like Envelde. It's not difficult to be a dick to someone who treats me like a dick, but it's a bit harder to be a dick to someone who respects me..

"Your Excellency's prediction was so accurate that I just gave it a try. Since you saw it accurately, I have nothing more to say.."

I bowed my head and answered as politely as I could. Unlike before, Duke Lethrom asked with a sigh of relief..

"If the royal family is willing to accept this protest, may I consider that there is room for a favorable change in your course??"

"If you consider all of this with the same mindset as Hahae, it is safe to say that it will be resolved cleanly.."

"Good thing."

As if that settled everything, Duke Lesrom lightly tapped me on the shoulder..

"From now on, I hope we can maintain a good relationship by understanding each other well without misunderstandings.."

In response to the answer in a bright tone that was noticeably different from before, Duke Lesrom looked up with a curious expression and instead of a tired face, he showed a satisfied smile..

"...no way?"

"that's right. I already finished my report before leaving here. He seemed a little lost, but he understood.."

This old man, he was acting because he was afraid that I would force him even more....!

"How good would it be to have an agreement that can be concluded amicably after mutual consideration? Don't worry anything about today. Do it cleanly."

As I looked at the back of Duke Lesrom, who was smiling and biting people and mobilizing his soldiers to enter the mansion, I couldn't help but hold my tongue this time..

Even though many of his plans would have been disrupted, Duke Lesrom was a complete idiot, ignoring the fact that it had already happened and focusing on reducing further damage..
