Chapter 451
My Villains Episode 451
66. silver prince(6)
“Oooooh!”
“Long live the Three Princes-!”
When Prince Ulkar's declaration of victory was announced, the soldiers cheered like crazy. On the other hand, I didn't even have the energy to stand on my own two feet, let alone scream..
“……under. I'm dying, really..”
I drove the bicorn about fifty to sixty meters, leaving behind the battlefield that was a complete mess of fire, river water, corpses, blood, and dust. He must have been quite tired, walking around like a dirty donkey..
The place where I got off was a field moist with morning dew. It seems that even the fierce fire of war could not engulf the spring fields. The colorful flower petals and grass were so refreshing that I could forget the smell of coal passing through my nose..
I flopped down on the soft field. Reconciling troops, clearing the battlefield, my heart is like a chimney of wanting to kill everything and spread out to sleep..
Of course, it was too greedy..
“trunnion-”
The first thing to appear was the bundle that had been hiding nearby. The guy ran towards me with a scary-looking mask dangling from his hand and jumped straight into my arms..
“It was hard. No one was hurt?”
“No, I'm fine.!”
To the bundle covered in dust, 'I'm so tired I think I'm going to pass out, so can you please step away?' Since I couldn't say anything like that, I greeted him with a smile..
“Huh……
The bundle buried its face deep under my pole..
The body, curled up like a cat sitting in a small box, gave off a strong fruity scent. I took a long inhale, soaking in the scent, while touching the soft cheeks like those of a baby..
“Are you tired? It's all over so take a breather.”
“Here? It's okay though?”
“What's not to do?.”
“swimming-”
Mungchi looked up at me with sad eyes and smiled brightly..
“Then, can’t I hug you tighter? Pook, do it.”
“Pook, I will do it.?”
“yes.”
I smiled at him and did as he ordered, and he let out a small laugh..
One side of my chest feels warm. It seems like my stiff shoulders are loosening up a bit..
Unlike the first customer, who was full of cuteness, the next ones to come were black guys..
“Hahaha, I'll get better！”
“Victory, Poynix! We won.!”
Fifteen pro-military soldiers, led by Dervish, Goleman, Eson, etc., came running, covered in blood..
I spoke in a calm tone as I saw the sticky mud and lumps of ash splashing at their feet..
“……Well, wait a minute. Would you all like to wash in the river or something??”
“Yes?”
Donell, whose lower lip was split and bleeding, grumbled..
“No, it's been a while since I last saw you, but aren't you happy? I won the battle too』
“Of course, I’m happy to see you in tears. Everyone must have worked hard, so take a break first. Let's solve the problem later.”
The big guys who came rushing towards us made eye contact with each other with a gloomy look on their faces..
But even for a moment. As the cheers of victory quickly ceased and the field was covered with cries for dead comrades and groans of pain, the soldiers turned around with slightly ambiguous faces..
“……Shall we go to Conwy??”
“Would you like that, sister? I saw earlier that our captain looked completely out of his mind..”
“Okay, let's go. Since quite a few of our children are probably dead, let’s wrap them up well..”
When the dervish, who had obtained the consent of Yukson Mittelman and the chief prosecutor Umberta, nodded his head, the pro-soldiers rushed back the way they had come..
Gently rubbing my eyebrow where a large blood scab had just fallen, I looked in the direction my subordinates were heading..
Veteran Conwyer, with the help of Sergeant Gottlob, Night Watchman Dillon, and others, was consolidating a force of about 100 men. Two priests who were not seen during the battle, Okan the Monk and Kavar the Church Knight, were exercising their healing powers among the soldiers..
The remaining soldiers, including Fritz the ponytail and Gidon the crossbowman, were taking prisoners along with Prince Ulkar's direct soldiers..
Needless to say, imperial knights and private soldiers loyal to the two electors had to be captured. It was also necessary to capture pagan warriors and magic soldiers who had become slaves through brainwashing and witchcraft to prepare for an unexpected situation, but as their number reached a whopping 3,000, their ranking was pushed back for now..
When I saw the slave soldiers lying face down on the ground, I sighed deeply..
“••••••Ugh.”
Now that I think about it, that seems like a problem I need to deal with. What happened to all those slaves?.
“Phoenix!”
The third thing that appeared was Utequai with hellfire whips wrapped around his upper body. The chain, which was thicker than the forearm of a decent general, was still red-hot even though the fire had died down. Even with this on his bare shoulder, he approached with a calm expression..
“Oh, are you here??”
“hmm!”
Aside from the steaming chains, the scars carved all over his body must have been quite painful, but Utequai smiled, showing his teeth..
“You did a great job. The grandson of the warrior who walks through all the earth, and his grandson, and his grandson, will remember your name..”
“of course. Well, can you at least sign it somewhere??”
“signature?”
“uh. If you have grandchildren later, pass it on to them. You'll love it so much.”
He burst out laughing at my shameless face..
“No need. My grandson is enough to be a grandfather..”
“Well, you don't know yet, how do you know now??”
“I know. Only you don't know.”
“Damn. I want to bet?”
“My mother's great warrior does not avoid betting. But I have something to bet on you?”
“Yeah, why isn't there.”
“does not exist. There is nothing desirable or valuable to you..”
“something of value?”
Utequai took a water bag from the saddle of a nearby bicorn and answered by pouring a lot of water on the top of his head..
“I have Ondawi, who is honest, and Enienda, who is like an azalea. There is Kaepiya, who is prettier and smarter than anyone else, and there is also a mother who gives endlessly. you are not.”
“……Aside from being a wife and a child, isn’t it a bit over the line to criticize them for not having a mother??”
“You too have a mother. mother loves all humans.”
“Indeed. I suddenly sat down preaching something..”
I waved my hand and suddenly asked a question..
“What happened to him??”
Utequai spotted Baron Ruyan in the direction I pointed and said, wiping the water off his face..
“tattoo? I engraved it.”
“That tattoo was something anyone could use.?”
“Not just anyone. A boy of noble status was chosen by his mother to become a warrior..”
The young Baron was running around the battlefield with the same vigor as when he first appeared. He led his men to secure prisoners and loot, and occasionally raised his voice while exchanging opinions with other commanders. Well, he is quite a lively guy..
“It was his mother's will that he got the tattoo.?”
“The boy warrior wanted a tattoo. What I engraved is me, and what gave me strength is my mother. In the end, everything went according to mother's plan..”
“But still, Baron Ruyan is a member of the Guangming Church.?”
“Young god, narrow-minded. Not my mother. It gives strength to even unbelieving warriors. “My mother has a big heart.” I opened my eyes wide at the ear-piercing sound..
“What is it? Then engrave it for me too. Blocking that arrow.”
“to you?”
The guy laughed and shook his head..
“you can't no need.”
“There's no need for it. Let’s take off my armor and go..”
“It's not that you don't need it, but your mother doesn't need it. I don't give you strength.”
“……Fuck, you're so stubborn.”
When I grunted softly, Ute Kwai, who had always been speaking in a cheerful tone, crossed his arms and changed his expression..
“What happens now to the brothers of Sueatan and the prisoners of Altenburg??”
“Oh, that.”
I raised my left forearm and answered with an ambiguous expression..
“First of all, I took the leash away.……
I was able to realize it immediately after plundering the souls under Prince Savellard's control in the Dream Estate. That breaking the leashes on slaves would be much more difficult than taking them away..
“The control contained here is so strong that giving freedom to slaves is not as easy as it seems. If you try to break the leash, it seems like your soul will be ripped apart..”
«......eww ”
......’司三
“Moreover, those Altenburg guys were very thorough in brainwashing me with elixirs and spells. If you escape control without much preparation, you will suffer from things like panic or severe depression..”
Utequai rubbed his chin in silence and then opened his mouth with a heavy face..
“Do you have a plan??”
“Uh, well… … . First of all, it's a medicine and a spell, and I think I'll have to take it with me until the effect wears off..”
“IOPYA definitely knows how. Because it's Kanza.”
“Okay, let's discuss it later. While we're at it, go and take care of your sister-in-law. I felt like I was on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion..”
“••••••hmm?”
Ute Kwai, who had a shadowy face, opened his eyelidless eyes wide..
“IOPI, are you here??”
“uh. Hey, somewhere across the river
girl.”
As soon as I finish speaking, a roar of anger begins to pound my eardrums..
“lya, oron de'at! IOP, my head melted.!”
“Ugh, fuck.!”
Not only me, but also the bundle that was curled up in my arms jumped up about an inch from where I was sitting in surprise..
“You crazy bastard, your ears are falling off.!”
“IOPI, are you really here? Athar Marta- I can't believe it! Why did you bring me here?!”
Seeing the guy running wild, I was dumbfounded and laughed..
“Damn, do you think I would have dragged him here by force? What should I do if I want to see the slave soldiers in person??”
“Can you show up on the battlefield with that skill? IOP, you haven't grown up yet! Have a coming of age ceremony!”
“no. That's not it-”
Before I could defend Iopiya, U Te Kwai, with a red face, turned around and shouted towards the other side of the river..
“IOP! Amuba fae suri!”
If the previous roar had awakened the groaning battlefield, this time it was enough to send ripples across the river far away..
Of course, no one spoke out loud. This is because there were few people big enough to argue with the Thunder Giant, who only had black eyes and was practically berserk..
Fritz, Goleman, and other pro-military soldiers ‘brought’ this Opiya in front of Utequoi, who had crossed the river halfway..
“Dorwa tasard kanzai uzun'ne darriwi! Ur'ne gawnma?”
“Gu, guit amuba. Rec'ne-”
“Lunt, th'ol lophia! Orrendae!”
The private soldiers who had been receiving treatment from Iopiya until recently dispersed like a flock of frightened sheep as Utequai approached. Iopiya, who had almost been dragged by Fritz and others, made excuses with a pale face, but Utequai grabbed her as if there was nothing more to hear and began to spank her..
Of course, it didn't seem like he was hitting with all his might. If I had seriously hit him, his butt would have exploded..
“Amuba, futmak - Amuba!”
Even though it was clear that he had relaxed a fair amount of force, every time the Utequoi's palm, which was the size of a child's torso, hit the poncho, it made a fairly cheerful sound. Iopiya, who was pleading with her angry brother-in-law, soon burst into tears..
After looking at that for a moment, I slowly turned my head..
I'm definitely not doing this because it's annoying. I just don't want to get involved in family matters..
The fourth person to appear in front of me was neither Ellen, who was flying in on a black carpet, nor Hayla, who had a whiter complexion than usual, nor Atalanta, who had thrown away all her armor and looked half-naked..
“You look exhausted..”
“yes. I'm dying.”
Leaving the group of knights behind, Prince Ulkar got off his horse with a deep sigh..
“I heard in detail about your criminal record. I was on the verge of losing face..”
“I almost died waiting. What are you doing now? Why are you doing that again??”
The prince smiled wryly as he brushed his hair, which had become as short as any other officer or non-commissioned officer..
“While fighting in Past, I was hit by the 'Sticky Flame' spell. If Lord Gisella's sword had been one breath late, the skin on her face would have melted..”
It was an obvious compliment, but the female knight standing behind her looked like she was on the verge of tears. Did he feel guilty about cutting off the prince's beautiful hair?.
“So, did you get Past and Unfast back??”
“Past was restored eleven days ago. They say they will be able to drive out the remaining enemies of Unfast within a few days. “I don’t know the exact news because I went straight south after helping Margrave Freix break the enemy’s forces.” I grumbled and expressed my dissatisfaction to the prince who slumped down in the seat next to me..
“So, please tell me the plan. I knew the prince would come, so I came all the way here and ended up in a lot of blood..”
“I feel sorry about that too..”
He smiled awkwardly and brushed off the ash and dust from his cheek with a glove..
“However, I would like to tell you that there were too many variables to tell you the plan in advance. Solidarity with the Drisir family was one of them, something I wasn't sure about until the end..”
“I'm not sure?”
“Honestly, I was worried about Drisir's betrayal..”
“yes?”
I opened my mouth slightly at the prince’s quiet words..
“Well, I don't know much, but isn't the Margrave of Prix a great lord among great lords? “I heard that his family has been loyal to the royal family for over a hundred years.” “As is often the case with ordinary human relationships, loyalty to the royal family and trust between families are not one-sided. The royal family is steadfast despite knowing the danger of the border, so how can they hope for the lord to raise his sword for the kingdom??”
Prince Ulkar took off his dirty gloves and threw them on the floor. In contrast to his beautiful and androgynous face, his right hand was full of scars and calluses..
“It was pure luck that Drisir reached out to me. Thanks to Duke Avilambus' eagerness to spread the rumor of my death, my eldest brother raised an army faster than expected. Right before Margrave Frix held his spear upside down..”
“under……
If the prince's judgment is right, did Duke Avilambus end up ruining the war with his own cunning?.
“Also, Eisbowald's work was a big factor..”
“……You mean Eisbowald's work? Which one??”
Prince Ulkar smiled..
“I heard that they broke in at night and completely destroyed one of the castle gates, including the gate tower..”
“Ah, yes. It was like that.”
When attacking Icebobalt, he crossed the castle wall by communicating with the salted fish seller Deogen, who was a gangster's vice-chief. And while I was messing around here and there, Atalanta blew up the preface with 'Sphere of Void'..
“But why does that change??”
“Why not? We didn't give up the idea of sieging Eisbowald because the gates were blown down.?”
“…… Well, that had an impact too.” “Given the Lord’s personality, it seemed unlikely that he would abandon Eisbowald and step down. There was an order from me, but it would be difficult for you to give up a castle you had already occupied..”
“••••••Right.”
“In the end, I had no choice but to come forward and intercept. So, as soon as they heard that one of the gates of Eisbowald had been blown down, they immediately went south..”
Perhaps remembering that time, the prince shook his head as if dizzy..
“I sent you a letter a while ago, but the situation has changed so much in such a short period of time that I doubt whether you will accept it as is. So, is there any other way? I have no choice but to run to my death.”
“If it's a letter?”
“‘You even sent a reply in the form of ‘Bytegil’s Letter’. I don't remember?”
At that moment, I felt like I had been hit on the head with a hammer. It was because I recalled receiving a three-line letter most recently, on the last day of March..
-Brist first 30,000.
-Greetings from the Golden Award.
-The feast is held in the yard, mid-April. Keep it organized.
The first and second were questions about the prince's departure and news from the emperor. And the last part was about deciding the day of the decisive battle..
“What day is today??”
“4The 7th of the month, no, the day has changed
8It's work.”
“8If it's work... … It's not the middle of the year.?”
Instead of answering, Prince Ulkar just laughed softly..
“What does it matter? In the end, you made the best decision, and thanks to that, we achieved a victory that will go down in history..”
“……Are you kidding me??”
“you're welcome. Absolutely not..”
The prince looked at me intently and said.
“Perhaps, even without me, this war might have ended in victory. But I could never have done that without you..”
Before he could shamelessly nod or utter a word of humility, Prince Ulkar stood up and mounted his war horse..
“……Where are you going??”
“to the east.”
The prince smiled brightly with the sun around him..
“I have to go get Sir Ariad. be back soon.”
After taking a moment to catch his breath, he headed east with only about 400 cavalry..
It was four days later that news came that Wulfurt, the imperial fortress facing High Castle and the capital of the Obdorf region, had fallen..
