Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 2. If you have a trap, go through it (2)

They do this without hesitation. It means that we must follow them, as Riiien says, or we can follow them.

“I can't skip the trap... Hmm? Freeze!”

Suddenly, Anton stopped thinking deeply. After thinking about something for a long time, I suddenly muttered with a strange smile.

“Well, there's a way. ”

Then he jumped up and shouted to the place where the knights were.

“Yulia!”

Yulia, surprised by the sudden call, rushes into an uneasy expression.

“Yes, did you call? It's short and sweet.”

Anton speaks in a calm voice in Yulia's words.

“Go to Feron. ”

“Huh? No, what? I thought you said he was on his way. ”

“I think we should pick some soldiers and take them with us. ”

“Licagien, what's going on? You don't look so good. ”

Earl Prokers came to the Oval Office and said in a worried voice, seeing Lycaen.

“Father, something bad has happened to the territory. ”

“What do you mean bad? ”

“An estimated 10,000 people have gone missing in a region belonging to the Old Leon Order. ”

“Well, what? ”

The startled Earl Procurus rises to his feet. 10,000.

“So many people have gone missing and you haven't reported them? ”

“There was something strange about cleaning up the hostile commander, and I looked into it, and it came back as a result. ”

“What are the odds? ”

“The theorem of the hostile commander is that Raul was doing it, but what he kept in the castle was too precise a match for the officials. So I started researching……. ”

“Mmmm... ”

Earl Procurus, who heard all of Ricaien's explanation, straightens his face with his hands on his forehead.

“So the officials forged documents and tried to cover things up because they were afraid of being blamed. ”

“That's right.”

“I shouldn't have let you do that. ”

“We need to clean up the mess with the officers, and now we need to get the missing colonists back. Incorrect emotions can be very emotional. ”

Earl Frost nods without looking back. As soon as the new lord arrived, the disappearance of 10,000 people was enough to make the remaining people anxious.

“But how do you find the missing people? ”

“I've been investigating quickly, but I think there's a slight chance we can still leave now. ”

“Really? So this is not the place to talk about it. Let's get out of here. ”

“Very well. You need to deal with these officers. ”

“Don't worry about it. Go ahead. ”

“Yes, I'll be back. ”

The Pollen River is the largest and longest river in the Brent Kingdom and is sometimes referred to as the ‘Mother's River’ in the Kingdom. On the other hand, it is also the center of transportation that connects the north and east, thanks to its long band covering the north and east of the kingdom.

The Pollen River flows east from west to west, starting at the heart of the Invald Mountains, which serve as the Kingdom's north-western border.

The Pollen River, combined with numerous tributaries, turns south from the Valks province in the north-eastern part of the kingdom, and connects to the sea in the Gulf of Lectus in the south-eastern part of the kingdom.

Among these, the eastern region was the middle downstream of the Pollen River, and the land belonging to the river basin was largely fertile.

The waterway, particularly across Robenos, is quite close to the sea, and the Gronze Plain, which lies along the waterway, is one of the largest grain areas in the Brent Kingdom.

At night, dozens of shadows appeared, pressing the deep hood against the river blunt. The most central man, Rahron, mutters, staring at the Gronze Plain, which has just finished seeding barley.

“I thought you were arriving around today? ”

The man next to him nods slightly.

“Yes, my scouts report that I will be arriving here tonight. ”

“I'm sure we have plenty of time. By the way, Barrock, are you ready for what I said? ”

The man who had just reported to Rahron replied without delay.

“Of course.”

“Good. Make no mistake. ”

“Yes!”

It was then.

Peek-a-boo!

The sound of a sharp flute echoes in Rahron's ears, long across a vast plain.

“Looks like you're here. Prepare.”

Baroque, standing next to Rahron's command, quickly pulls the flute out of his arms and blows it.

Peek-a-boo!

Along with the sound of the second flute, other Byrons nearby suddenly begin to move swiftly.

I wanted to move my hands around, but the moment I muttered an unknown sound, suddenly, sparks started rising from all over the plain.

Suddenly, there was a flame that was embedded like a stake all over the plain.

To be precise, he used the technique unique to Byron's ethnicity, Clymus, to light a torch on the entire plain.

Finally, fire broke out in the middle of the vast Pollen River. At the same time, more than 20 sailboats appeared in the middle of the river.

Baroque approaches Rahron quietly, checking on a series of situations.

“Nothing out of the ordinary. ”

At that time, small dots began to appear on the plains lit by torches. It was a shadow of a man walking toward the river, moving his feet without rest.

Seeing that, Rahron narrows his eyes, folding the deep wrinkles of his eyes. Then I asked Baroque.

“Are you sure? ”

“You'll get a signal shortly after processing it. ”

In Barrock's reply, Rahron nods, still frowning.

‘What I should have done a long time ago... ’

How long has it been? The people who showed up in the plains walked along several roads through the fields and passed through the middle of the plains. Even the appearance of the black dot now clearly shows the contour and begins to take on the shape of a person.

One of them walks this way. A man who grew a tall, dark parrot. It was Vermouth who changed.

Bermurk pauses and looks around. Then, he saw the crowd coming like a cloud from the other side of the river around the plains and nodded satisfactorily.

It was then.

Suddenly, the ground in front of Vermouth seems to be settling down, and a young man suddenly rises up.

“Suck!”

A startled vermouth hurries back, but two shadows rise from behind. Pressing on the hood like any other viron. The only difference was the Scimitar in their hands.

Vermouth shouts in a bewildering voice.

“What are you doing?! ”

But the men holding the meter wouldn't open their mouths. Only a shimmy meter of sunlight swings towards Bermurk.

“Shhh!”

Blood erupted from all sides with the Terminal's scream. However, the men who turned Vermook into a corpse pulled the flute out of their laps and watered their mouths.

Peek-a-boo!

At the sound of the long flute, Barrock bows his head.

“I took care of it.”

“You sure about that?"

“That's right.”

Even Baroque's answer, Rahron asks again, making sure he is not relieved.

“What are the chances that someone has changed in the middle? ”

It is likely that Bermurk knew what he was thinking and changed people in advance. But Barrock shakes his head.

“I've been following him ever since the gambling parlor, but I didn't get a chance to do that. ”

“Very well, then. Let's get the harvest aboard. ”

“I understand!”

Baroque quickly responded to the river, biting the flute and signaling.

Beep, beep, beep, beep!

Busy movements began on the deck of the sailboats that were at the center of the river with the signal. The rafts piled up on the deck, one after the other, descend onto the river. The first raft to land on the surface slowly approaches the blunt man.

As the raft reaches blunt ground, a Byron man steps down to the ground with a thick rope. The rope stretches from the sailboat in the river to the glutes, and the man runs straight toward the plain, holding the tip of the rope.

So, where the man arrived, there was a huge stake, and the man tied a rope to it.

Meanwhile, rafts from the surface of the river converge toward the ropes, and line up from the blunt to the sailboat, grabbing the rope on a mast like a raft.

At the end of the series, a bridge between land and ship was built on top of the Pollen River, a conducting bridge.

It only took a short time for the missionaries to be built, as those on boats and those who handle rafts have a lot of experience.

On a dark night, it is extremely difficult to sit in a bright room and distinguish between things in the dark outside the window. It is because the eyes adapted to bright light are vulnerable to darkness.

Fourteen of the Knights of Lycaen and Earl Prokers and more than 50 of them were hiding on the dark waters of the Fallen River.

Anton's only way out of his mind is through a trap they're about to set up.

I thought if I went to the docks north of Gronze Plain and rented a boat, I could get down to the south by the Pollen River and see what they were doing without any harm.

Thanks to this, they hide themselves in the northern bluff of Gronze Plain, looking out for distant sailboats and plains.
