Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 76. Before the Storm (2)

Eastern Front of the Kingdom of Laderon.

The only troops from the Holy Land stopped marching together, keeping the border in sight. The twelve knights representing Sererheim were in the lead, of which Eloden, the general commander, was in charge.

Hui-ying

Windy plains.

Far away was the ruin of Earl Morco. Because of the war against disaster, all the territories were exterminated, there was a little bit of a bitch atmosphere.

When Eloden was silently staring at it.

I can see a dozen knights coming on horseback from afar. Immediately after arriving at the border, they were dispatched to each of the neighboring kingdoms.

“I report to Lord Eloden. ”

“We have completed notifying five nearby territories. ”

What they were saying was that Ser Ham's army was about to enter the kingdom. Then Eloden nodded his head without a word and drew his sword and pointed forward. It was a march order.

“Pack your bags! We're moving again!”

“You have three days to get to your destination! ”

With the knights' long shouts, the surrounding area quickly became busy.

Meanwhile, I wonder if Eloden's instructions were in question. The blonde knight guarding him tilts his head and asks.

“Shouldn't we wait for the lord's reply? ”

“Yes. Just to prevent a tailspin. ”

Eloden replied with a consistent voice.

Soon after preparing to move, Sererheim's forces begin marching again. I was able to set foot on the land of the Kingdom of Laderon after crossing a river that was not too deep.

By the time I passed the ruined Count Morco.

Eloden, who was riding the horse in the lead, suddenly opened his lips.

“Now that you mention it, it feels strange. ”

“Yes? What does that mean?" ”

“Whatever the circumstances, you're back home. ”

The knight's face became somewhat stiff.

Eloden glances at his face and smiles.

“Isn't that right? Lord Archdut.”

The knight is nothing but a cusher arcade.

He was the second son of the archduke, who was deputy commander of the 11th Knights and naturalized him as Ser Heim.

On the other hand, in a sudden question, his complexion remained as solid as a stone.

Subsequently, he spoke as loudly as his face.

“I beg you to take it back. For me, home is only Sererheim. ”

“I'm not trying to test you. So you can talk comfortably. ”

“I'm telling you what I am. ”

Cushion gives his opinion without making any changes to his face.

He spoke with an emotional voice.

“Since the evil pagans, who used the Devil's power, have ruled this place, I have renounced all sense of empire. So for me, this is not my home country, it's just a land that needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible. ”

The sincere answer was that Eloden shut his mouth. It was because he thought it would upset him more than that.

“I see. A pagan with the power of the devil, by the way." ”

Instead, I twisted the conversation topic to the other side.

A rising saint and hero in the Kingdom of Laderon, and a speaker called an unclean being in the Kingdom of the Holy Land. Eloden put his name on her mouth.

“Are you referring to the pagan arcade? ”

“Yes, he was once my brother. ”

Kasher's expression suddenly darkened.

I had a bitter smile on my mouth. Soon after, he bites his lips tightly and shakes his head.

“But not anymore. He made the wrong choice, and that action deserves to be punished. ”

My fist was tightly tightened.

Immediately, a ferocious force flowed from the body of Kesher.

“If the day comes after Lord Eloden, then I will punish him myself." That's the mission I've been given. ”

His silence is tightened and his resolutions echo.

Eloden, on the other hand, looked at Kershaw with a quiet look like the lake. Did he notice late? He looks down, startled.

“I'm sorry, I've been saying too much. ”

“Never mind. You have every right to be behind me. ”

A slight smile appeared on Eloden's wrinkled mouth.

He then patted him on the back as if encouraging.

“Yes. I hope to fulfill my mission one day. ”

“Thank you!”

He shouted with a somewhat described face.

Eloden pulls the lever suddenly, as his shouting stops. As he stops at the vanguard, his pursuit slows down, too. Eloden, who came down from the horse, laughed as he stared straight ahead.

“Now you show up. ”

Even when I said that, I moved my gaze to the front.

But he found nothing. It was a desolate ruin everywhere, and it didn't even feel popular. On the other hand, the reactions of four-star paladins belonging to the First Paladin were different.

Shhh!

A silver blade drawn in an instant.

The two knights then stared at the front with a stiff face. Tense expression. A four-star knight on the path to the Sword Master reacts like this? At this strange sight, I suddenly felt a question.

But in that moment,

Overwhelmed

You hear footsteps from a distance. No, you're right to say you felt it. It was too far to hear footsteps. As soon as he sensed the owner of the footsteps, he felt the hair all over his body standing still.

Creepy!

It was a highly concentrated intensity.

The strength of the skilled knight's determination and exhales into a form of hostility, leaving the battlefield intact. Kurcher gripped his teeth and stared straight at you for terrifying pressure. Then I realized who they were.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Hair that used to be bright silver.

An off-white beard that stretches all around like a lion's mane. Even the ferociously polished yellow eyes of a predatory beast. Once upon a time, he was still the next son of Earl Archdute.

“It's been a long time, Lord Raganata. ”

At that time, the target's identity spills from Eloden's mouth.

Setier du Raganata. The greatest knight in the Grand Master's history, representing the Kingdom of Laderon.

In his appearance, the atmosphere of the battlefield froze instantly.

No one but Eloden opened her mouth easily. The Duke of Setier opens his mouth as the battlefield with only one army is overwhelmed by silence.

“I see. I just didn't want to see it this way. ”

“So am I. We used to fight together. ”

Eloden laughs deeply as his voice settles.

Then he looks as dull as a duc.

“But I can't help it. You're doing what you have to do, and I'm doing what I have to do. ”

With that answer, the energy flowed from Eloden's body.

Not hostile, but enough to shake Duke Setier's spirits.

“I think you know why we're here. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The answer never came back.

However, the look on his face made him seem to know something about it. Of course. If he didn't know anything, Ser Hame's army would have come here shortly after crossing the border with an army comparable to his.

“But we're not here to wage a war. ”

“Now you want me to believe it. ”

“I swear to God, I'll get back on my feet as soon as I achieve my goal. ”

The duc closes his mouth in response.

Eloden is devout enough to be a Cultist. Therefore, if he had sworn an oath to God, it was a trustworthy oath.

After a short time has passed.

Only the peacock's mouth, which was tightly closed, was opened.

“Then what are your objectives? ”

“Simple. To hold brothers accountable for their deaths. ”

He didn't tell me who to hold accountable. I thought the Duke of Setier knew. Eloden then spoke again in a powerful voice.

“Get out of the way if you understand. I don't want to cause any trouble. ”

The answer still hasn't returned.

But something changed. It was that the Duke's strength was gradually diminishing when he pressed the battlefield. Eloden, who regarded it as acceptance, boarded the horse again.

“All troops, resume your movement! ”

The freezing time melted with a loud shout.

Sererheim's troops march again, mainly from the Knights. The duc faces them like that, and just bites his lips tightly.

And after a while, I encountered Eloden.

My lips were tightly closed.

“· · · · · · Eloden. ”

The duc's head is half lowered.

He stares at Eloden and growls ferociously.

“I understand your reasoning. But don't do anything unrelated to your goals. Then I'll never let you. ”

“Don't worry. I will return as soon as I complete my goal. ”

At the end of the conversation, the two turned their backs on each other.

An army of Sererheim marching towards the castle. Duke Setier simply watched over them. And there were eyes on them from a distance that the duc could not perceive.

A pair of eyes with different colors.

It was Kalman. Soon, even the Duke of Setier hides himself, and he breathes his last breath. Then he took out the crystal ball in his hand and knocked and smiled.

“Good. We got it on tape. ”

The crystal sphere recorded all the sights that had ever been recorded.

Soon after, Kalman carefully turns away from the crystal ball. To return to his master.

After a while, Kalman hides his tracks like a ghost.

* * *

Sererheim's forces have crossed the border!

Upon receipt of this information, members of Ragni's organization initiated an activity. Rumors spread across the capital as well as across the kingdom. Ferda smiles as she hears reports pouring in succession.

‘So far, so good. ’

The rumor spread faster than ever before.

The reason was simple: there was evidence.

‘Thanks to Kalman. ’

A video recording of the conversation between Eloden and the Duke of Setia.

This video was sent across the kingdom by sorcerers within the organization.

What was noteworthy in the content of the video was the image of the Duke of Sethia doing nothing, despite the Serrhaim's troops treading on royal soil. The Duke's appearance was enough to shock the nobles and the people.

‘Duke Setier is like the guardian god of the realm. ’

Even the duc couldn't stop Sererheim from advancing.

So, of course, I'm shocked.

Later, anxiety began to mount throughout the kingdom. And like helplessness and despair, negative emotions rose swiftly. These emotions have soon turned into a fiery fury.

"You need a proper target to release your anger. ’

There was just the right target.

They were the two princes who provided Sererheim with an excuse to intervene. As a result, the two princes began to lose their minds very quickly. Of course, it also contributed to Ragney's role.

Ferda stood up with a satisfactory smile.

Then he muttered, looking out the sunset window.

‘Based on the speed of the march, we should arrive approximately tomorrow. ’

Sererheim's troops were currently stationed about a day away from the capital. Since they marched from dawn until evening, they will camp as they always have.

‘And you also leaked information to Prince 1. ’

Leave him alone and I'll fight him myself.

The first prince to know that Ser Jaime is working with Prince II will never respond to their demands.

‘Now all I have to do is... ’

I watched the actors backstage and intervened when I needed to.

And let's add one more thing: to make Roberts stand out as much as possible? As the situation went smoothly, Ferda smiled.

It was then.

Knock, knock.

Someone knocks at the door.

Perceived this, Ferda immediately corrected her expression. He was now impersonated as Earl Regelton. Then, I heard a voice from beyond, as I was about to ask who the Marquis was.

“Marquis, this is Argal Winvester. ”

The man who found him was nothing but a knight of two princes, Sarphene, Argal.

Ferda tilts her head at the unexpected visit. What brings you here? I was curious for a moment, but soon I broke it off.

“Come in.”

I couldn't keep it on the doorstep.

As soon as Ferda's permission dropped, the door opened wide. Then Argal, the knight with the bowl, reveals himself. Argal bows slightly to the erl and quickly reveals his business.
