At the noise outside, the first princess of Amelia's kingdom, Rosemary Lotto Amelia, jumped up and grabbed a nearby long sword and braced herself, and her escort, a female knight - Anna - rolled into the tent.
'Princess, we're under attack! Get ready now!
The enemy attacks?
Anna's face turned bitter, as she screamed in a careless voice.
"Of the Empire! There was an insider!
The words are tantamount to despair.
Who?
"Lord Fracton! Several other knights have defected and are in a state of battle!
Sir Fracton is the head of the Gilbert faction, which claims traditional aristocratic supremacy. Originally, he is in direct conflict with Lohse's faction. And all the veteran knights this time are Gilbertites.
If that's the case, then this is not good! This is extraordinarily bad! I patted her head to calm her crying voice, and then
"Okay. We'll get out of here. What about Arnolt?
I asked about the most important lifeline for Lohse and her friends at the moment.
That's because we've received reports of a hexenbiest attack on a neighboring house: ......
So that's it. Most of Rose's guards this time are new knights with no real combat experience. There is no way they can defeat a magical beast. Of course, there are veterans, but they are all knights of the Gilbert school. You're not going to be able to get a good deal more than you think. Therefore, if innocent people were being attacked, Arnolt would be heading there alone.
Arnolt cannot be blamed for this. You can't blame him, because there is no way he could have expected to be mixed in with the people who are going to rebel against him now.
(Gil, you can't do that!)
In the homeland of Amelia, the next succession to the throne is being discussed behind the scenes. The most likely candidates are Rosemary, the first princess, and Gilbert, the first prince.
However, this is only a political battle, and it's only within the royal family. You can find a lot more information on the following website: ......
I'm going to leave now and join Arnolt. We will leave immediately and join Arnolt.
When you leave the tent with the dagger strapped to your waist and the long sword, you will find countless knights on the ground bleeding.
You can't. You can't escape!
The blonde knight stomped on the prone knight on the ground while pointing his sword at Lohse.
"Sir Fracton, you have betrayed your country!
Anna snarls and glares at her old colleague knights and at Fracton, who is smiling victoriously at her side.
(That sucks. ......)
The surroundings are already surrounded by black robes. If they were the only ones, Anna would have judged them to be misfits of the mercenaries hired by Frankton and the others. The reason why Anna declared them to be imperial soldiers is because of those two. To be more precise, the two-headed divine bird emblem inscribed on the bright red cloth worn by the gray shaved man in red robes and the black-haired young man with a scar on his cheek. That is the national emblem of the Gritnir Empire. In other words, they are soldiers of the Empire.
The tents have all been destroyed. I look around, but I don't see Kai. He hasn't fallen down, so maybe he has retreated into the forest. Alright then. It's more dangerous to be around Lohse right now.
"Rebellion is an unfortunate term to hear. In fact, you are the one who betrayed us, Princess Lohse.
"Did I betray you? What is the basis for that?
I understand the logic of these people. They would sell out their country to protect their interests and privileges. They are such people. Maybe I don't need to ask, in a way.
"You are a part of our royal and noble tradition--
Oh, I don't care about that. That's a difference in beliefs between me and you, not a basis for my betrayal of the kingdom. Please tell me what makes you think that you can exclude me from conspiring with the Empire.
Irredeemably interrupted the predictable fracton's dialogue and asked the same question again.
Fracton stared at Lohse for a while, but
When you marry into the third prince of the empire, the barren conflict between the kingdom and the empire will end. In addition, Prince Gilbert will ascend the throne, and the tradition and order of our country will be preserved!
Immediately, he lets out a small breath, smiles, spreads his arms out and proudly declares, "Then why don't I insist on that at the meeting?
Then why not insist on it at the meeting? Isn't it?
That's because you don't accept that--
"You think I conspired with the enemy because I was unacceptable? That's just rebel thinking.
"......
To a silent, teeth-grinding fracton
"As long as you hurt the Kingdom of Amelia, you're just a foul, dirty traitor, no matter what you say! Shame on you!
The words are slammed down. Just then - just then - a white mass comes flying in from behind the trees.
A white mass comes flying in from behind the trees and collides with Fracton's men, who are stomping on the bleeding, falling rookie knight. Fracton's men are slammed into the trees behind them with their bodies bent in a crooked position, and they stop twitching as they collapse.
'Arnold!'
A blue-haired man with muscular stubble, holding a large sword without caution, came into view, and I couldn't help but feel tears in the corners of my eyes. No wonder. That was the hero (or heroes) from Lohse's childhood that I most wanted to see come now.
A, Arnolt! Why are you here?
It's too remote to have a village ahead of you. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. So I came back in agony on the way, but it seems I was right.
When I answered that, I stepped in front of Lohse and her friends and held a large sword. You will find that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few minutes of your time.
'What do you mean by that? I thought the siege of this place was complete with the black panthers and ogres?
A wild, dark-haired young man asks the gray-boy man next to him, "I'm surprised too.
'I'm surprised, too. It doesn't look like you broke through - you don't seem to have. Then there was an ambush?
The man with the gray shaved head gave me a shooting look
"No, no! There's no way that's what you're supposed to do!
Fracton shook his head from side to side in a hurry.
'Keh! It's mostly your tiger's summoning (summoner) unit that screwed up, right?
"There is no denial. I will investigate, and when I return to the imperial capital, I will purge thoroughly. More importantly, for now--
When a man with a gray shaved head gives a meaningful glance to a man with a scar on his cheek
I know. I'm going to do it anyway.
Nodding lightly, take a step forward and pull out a long sword at the waist.
I didn't expect to fight the best swordsman in the kingdom, but it's an unexpected surprise for a trivial task.
I'm Zignir Gastrea. Let's have some fun and soul-stirring kills!
"Sword Emperor or ...... is unlikely to be able to reject ......?
Arnolt also readies his greatsword and lowers his center of gravity.
"Let's get to work! "Let's play fancy!
Crossing their words, the next moment the two swordsmen clash swords.
