“......eww ”
I that •
What woke me up from a deep sleep was an inexplicable chill..
It's not enough to cover you with a blanket, but it's still too cold to ignore. I tried to ignore it for the most part, but what about the cold feeling rising from my sweaty back?
It was just a little bit beyond the normal level..
“IC……
I grumbled and looked around the inner room, and found that all the candles and the fireplace were extinguished. I wondered if there was a strong draft, but the window was closed tightly..
Even as I was lighting the candle dish on the bedside table, Hayla was sound asleep next to me..
Because the blanket was pulled up to under the nose, my naked body was not exposed. But with only the matted hair, pale shoulders, and tear marks left around the eyes and cheeks,
It was also sufficiently stimulating.
Is it because it reminds me of him prickling and panting and not knowing what to do? The desire to rip off the blanket and grab your hair rises..
“••••••Phew.”
I took a deep breath and took out the heat rising from my lower abdomen again. After tidying up her ebony hair and putting on the bedding, she stood up and put on her pants..
I put a few pieces of coal in the bronze brazier, started a fire, and opened the wooden window, revealing the blue dawn sky. In contrast to the sky colored in faint indigo, the earth was immersed in deeper darkness..
The reason I opened the window was because I missed the fresh early spring air. However, the only thing that came aboard the Maparam was the smell of coal and oil. A smell that makes you imagine a fierce battle taking place on the castle walls.…….
The inner room was three stories, but since the castle tower itself stood tall on a hill, it felt much higher than the third story..
Beyond the battlements of the castle, barely visible, you can see a city immersed in darkness. The battle, which had entered a lull as the night deepened, finally came to a halt at dawn, creating a very peaceful atmosphere..
It's funny to talk about 'peace' when you see men with soot on their faces sitting or lying down anywhere, unarmed. But in reality, the soldiers huddled around the bonfire and taking a nap looked very peaceful..
Of course, this may also be a feeling of fullness that one can only feel when looking down from a distance..
but… … . After filling your stomach in a warm room and having fun eating rice cakes with a peerless beauty, wouldn't you like to wake up and look around at the early morning scenery? It would be strange if the world didn't look beautiful..
A cold wind slowly came in and I was about to close the window.,
Beep, beep—
I hear birdsong.
It's a sound I've heard before on Mount Graduil or Lidburn. I think I heard from Utequai that this is the sound of a bunting.…….
wait for a sec. bunting?
There is nothing worthy of being called a mountain near High Castle, but it is a bunting.?
The chills I felt when I woke up rise again. I feel like all the hairs on my body are standing up..
As soon as I realized that the chill was actually deadly, I turned around..
Snap.
A small sword that seemed to have risen from the air was aimed at the forehead. Instinctively, I reached out and grabbed the black painted blade. Blood flowed from the jaw holding the blade. Before I even felt the pain, I stretched out my left hand and grabbed Inyoung’s neck..
“Keck，”
“What is this rat?.”
was an assassin.
The white hood and white cape with a dark sheen are strange. However, looking at the narrow sleeves, tightly tied blade, black-edged small sword, and short sheaths on his waist and chest, there was no doubt that he was an assassin..
And, crucially, the eyes were killer..
I laughed at his eyes and threw his face into the furnace..
“A billion!”
crackling!
Amidst the desperate screams, a subtle sound that the criminal's ears could not hear was heard. I quickly spread out my bleeding palm and aimed at the corner of the ceiling..
And, see the blood.
bang!
As if he had fired a shotgun, another assassin who was just about to throw himself was thrown into a corner like a mop..
“……Look at this.”
Two assassins entered the inner city, the heart of High Castle, and the castle tower where the command center is located? No, considering that they exchanged signals through bird calls, there may have been more than two people..
Something is unusual. I immediately shouted out the window..
“It's the enemy! The enemy assassin has arrived!”
Puzzle. Immediately after waking up the city, he squeezed the neck of the assassin who was face down in the furnace. Since no one was watching anyway, I sucked up as much blood as I could with my ‘red hands’..
Tsutsutsu.
“Hmm.”
It gives you a qualitative feeling of fullness, similar to what you get from a meal.…….
If I mummified the body, it would cause troublesome misunderstandings, so I just wet my hands and threw the remains of the two assassins out the window..
“It's an enemy attack-!”
As I was about to yell again, High Castle woke up. Since I wasn't a deep sleeper to begin with, my reaction was quick..
“boundary! It's an enemy attack!”
“My lord! Find the lord!”
“Light up! Lift the torch!”
Officers and non-commissioned officers were shouting loudly, and the soldiers who had hurriedly got up and dispersed in a hurry. Hundreds of bloodshot eyeballs floated beneath the flames pushing away the darkness..
However, the assassins who infiltrated at dawn had already seen a lot of blood..
“-father!”
It was a sound that came from quite close by, from the residence of the inner city..
“••••••no way.”
With an ominous premonition passing through my mind, I quickly armed myself..
“Heyla, heyla!”
After killing the two assassins and yelling for the city to leave, Hayla is still traveling in dreamland..
At that moment, I thought, 'Maybe I'm not asleep, but dead?' I was worried so I shook my shoulder. Only then did she open her eyes and wake up..
“......trunnion?”
“Ugh, burns! Quickly come to your senses and wake up!”
My armament was very simple. This is because his favorite armor - the magic plate gold armor with a blue glow, obtained after defeating Luke's Skeleton Knight - broke and melted during the battle of Zellntri, effectively becoming a lump of scrap metal..
The equipment I currently have is accessories such as 'Dragon Slayer's Seal' and 'Lightning Enchantment', belt 'Death King's Scale Belt', gloves 'Death King's Scale Handcuffs', boots 'Aelophos', and dagger ' All that was there was ‘Dalmais’ and a pair of long swords, ‘Morning Star’ and ‘Black Ice’..
Instead of heavy armor, I'm only wearing a tough tunic, so it feels a little empty. However, this feeling of emptiness could be easily replaced by the lightness of being able to fly at any moment..
“Hey, there's no time to mess around. Wake up quickly!”
“ O 99 "S 3 Until I was fully armed, Hayla was sitting on the bed in a daze. She stood up, covering herself with a cotton blanket, against my back, but then collapsed forward and collapsed..
“Ugh. Hey, why are you like this??”
“I can't walk.”
“……what?”
It was foolish to expect combat power from Hayla, who had just woken up... … . Anyway, I didn't know that I wouldn't be able to walk like a newborn deer like this..
“Ugh.”
He helped Hayla sit on the bed and gave her the transparent jeweled dagger 'Blood Blood' and 'Gloves of the Milky Way' that were on the table..
“Until you come to your senses, sit with the door closed. Okay?”
« O ” ugh.
Hayla nodded absentmindedly, but quickly added words that did not match her sleepy expression..
“Hrunting Island.”
“Give me Hrunting too..”
Ugh.” Hrunting (what was) wrapped in a red blanket was placed in Heila's arms, and she immediately kicked the window frame..
Landing, he swung his sword at the assassin who was just trying to escape out of the castle..
Sigh!
“ ugh,”
It's a simple scream, considering that an arm was blown off. The white-cloaked assassin lost his balance and fell, then gritted his teeth and rolled forward..
“Sir Phoenics!”
At that moment, Ulkar's sergeant, 'Fierce' Merg, appeared with his guards. I pointed at the stumbling assassin running away..
“Capture them alive and lock them up..”
“Yep - what are you doing sitting there, go and catch him!”
A few soldiers ran out, and I asked Merg as I headed to the manor house..
“This is how things are going?”
“I'm still looking into it, but several nobles and officers have already been killed. and,”
“and?”
The sergeant adjusted his flat plate-shaped helmet and lowered his voice..
“The Margrave suffered.”
“……He passed away?”
“yes. When I found him, he was already dead..”
“X arm……
As expected, ominous premonitions never go astray. As expected, the voice that cried out for his father was that of Gawin, the only son of the Margrave of Landry..
“What are the escorts doing??”
“Five knights and sixteen soldiers, including Lord Dieut, were killed..”
“……Even the knights suffered?”
In order for an assassin to kill a knight, he must attack him while he is defenseless. That's usually the case.
Of course, there will be some talented people who can take on a knight in a head-to-head fight. In the first place, it would not be common for such a talented person to move around in the shadows and act as an assassin..
Of course, the military standards of the Margrave of Landry's guard were very strict. There is no way he was caught by surprise defenseless..
It is said that they fought head-on in the end, but the skills of the Margrave's guard knights were far superior to those of ordinary knights..
However, all the knights were killed.?
“……Is it a true magic swordsman?.”
“yes? what did you say?”
“no, no.”
When I reached the residence, I encountered veteran Confire and other soldiers, and I immediately gave an order..
“Gather all the lords and staff in the inner city into one place, right now..”
“Nari, if only in one place-”
“The hall of the castle tower. When you're done, follow the orders of General McNeil there. Hurry up and go!”
High Castle's army is a group created by gathering the various troops of the lords of the western part of the kingdom. If the lord, or the knights and officers representing the lord, all died, this unstable group would be torn apart and collapsed..
“shit.”
As I was quickening my steps out of urgency, an unexpected shout came from somewhere..
“Wyvern! They are courageous warriors.!”
“what‘?”
I looked up at the direction pointed by the soldiers leaning against the battlements of the castle. As expected, dozens of wyverns were flying through the blue dawn sky. In a battle in broad daylight, the dragon knights who were not even visible without their noses suddenly appeared..
“Ready to fire, ready to fire - shoot!”
The voice of the burnt Donel was heard from the castle tower. Including this one, the ballistas on each fortress, watchtower, and castle wall fired crossbow bolts that were longer and thicker than the spears..
The Wyverns, who were flying spread out, immediately increased their altitude. Then he dropped something he had prepared and turned his head away without any hesitation..
“Those bastards, what kind of manipulation are they doing again?.”
By concentrating magical energy into the eyes, the power of the eyes was increased. So, when I saw what they had dropped, I screamed in horror..
“Mr.X, it’s a rune stone! Block it!”
A piece of stone the size of a tennis ball, with an unusual shape that looks like it has been split in half. At first glance, there seemed to be more than fifty pieces of stone with unidentifiable runes engraved on one side..
Perhaps they heard my voice, or perhaps they were just preparing for it, but several battle wizards chanted a spell and retrieved the runestone. Usually, runestones are effective only when they are shattered, so as long as you receive them completely, there are no problems..
However, they did not fall concentrated in one place, and it was impossible to catch all the runestones scattered evenly throughout the city..
In fact, capturing a tennis ball-sized piece of stone falling from the sky was a bit far from magical ability. Among the battle wizards, those with dull eyes could not even look at the rune stones..
“ Lie down-!”
Immediately after someone shouted, several rune stones fell in the inner courtyard and in front of the manor house..
Wow!
Instead of explosions and flames, there was a strange beep-like sound that increased, followed by flashes of light, covering the entire area..
“Uh, uhh?”
“enemy!”
And the next moment, dozens of imperial soldiers were standing in the area where the light disappeared..
The name of the rune stones scattered by the Dragon Knights was ‘Group Transfer’. The enemy scattered these rune stones and forced hundreds of troops into the castle..
“kill them all!”
Rushing in with a shout, I quickly looked and saw that the opponents were mercenaries. These are the mercenaries of the Duke of Avilambus, who were severely scolded in Zellndry..
“That's okay,”
“Heh, main!”
However, the enemies are in a bit of a strange state. Like drug addicts, their eyes are wide open and their mouths are foaming..
“These crazy bastards.”
He was dropped in the middle of enemy territory, but instead of being intimidated, he screamed and charged at him, which was not befitting of a mercenary. Thanks to this, I was convinced that they had been brainwashed by Altenberg..
“Hmm I”
2The dark red blade that protruded more than a meter made a large horizontal cut..
Wow!
The sound of tearing the air was followed by the sound of something being crushed. The five mercenaries who had lost their sense were divided into ten groups and rolled around on the floor..
My wrists and mouth are numb from the countless cuts of metal, leather, bone, and flesh. Still, the effect of intentionally overdoing it was quite outstanding..
“What was it just now?.”
“Ugh, wow……
Our soldiers, who were panicked by the untimely uproar, stopped for just over a second and shouted..
“100 million won!”
“push, stick-!”
The soldiers in the inner city attack the enemy like a swarm of bees. I exploded several rounds of blood, tore through the enemies, and pulled myself out..
“Merg! Go to Yeongjugwan!”
I can't waste my time on these idiots. We must find the assassins of the witch hunting group and their leader, the True Demon Sword Master..
