Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 7. Night's Vesper (4)

It was not good for the kingdoms of Bren Kingdom or the lords around them to know. You would have been severely discouraged before you even had the proper strength. Plus, there was a dangerous man involved, Klaus, so there could be a place where he wanted to work directly in the worst case.

“Dammit! I can't get rid of it, thanks to you." ”

Lycaen says that Elisha's lips are parched to see if her insides are burning.

“I'll keep your secret forever. ”

“The best way to keep a secret is to make fewer people you know. How can I trust you when I first met you today? ”

“Doesn't that mean we can't be together forever? ”

“I'm sure it is. So how... ”

Suddenly, something went through Lycaen's head.

‘Hmm, I see……. ’

I came up with a very good way. Lycaen smiles and says to Elisha,

“I'm the one who gives things to the Emperor. ”

“Yes?! It is possible……. ”

Elisha tries to say something, but Lycaen doesn't allow her to.

“You're coming with me, and I'm sorry about the rest, but I'm going to have to keep you quiet for a while. ”

“What the……! ”

At that moment, Lycaen's hand was drawing blood from Elisha.

“Unh!”

Elisha is experiencing the reason why the other knights can't move, as soon as she is experiencing a slight amount of pain on her nerves.

“What are you doing?! ”

Surprised, Elisha screams, but Lycaen is moving her somewhere.

Starting with Elisa, Lying on the floor of the reception room, Lycaen moves all the knights to his room, looking at those who stare at him nonchalantly.

“Everyone's waiting here. I'm going somewhere. ”

Chapter 8. Byron Desert (1)

About half of the country is a desert in the Republic of Morellia. To be precise, the southern third was a desert, and the rest were grass-free wastelands.

The Southern Desert was originally the site of the Byron Kingdom, and the Byron Kingdom was suddenly destroyed and the land turned into a desert.

The problem has been since then.

In the area adjacent to the desert, one by one the well dried up and the river began to reveal the floor. Afterwards, the grass began to wither, and the trees withered and became a barren wasteland. And very slowly, but steadily, the wasteland expanded.

The people of the Republic of Morellia had no choice but to associate it with the fall of the Byron Kingdom. And now we were calling it the 'Curse of Byron’ for the expansion of the wasteland. This led to particularly severe persecution of Byron refugees within the Republic of Morellia.

Currently, the desolation of the land has halted in front of the Kotan River, which crosses the middle of the Republic of Morellia from the east. In other words, the land to the north was intact around the Kotan River and to the south was a wasteland or a desert with only an oasis.

However, the Morellians were overwhelmed with anxiety because they thought that Byron's curse might cross the river at some point, and that led to a desperate need to expand their territory.

The Khotan River Basin was originally inhabited by fertile land, and the cities were quite large. However, since the desertification began to erupt, people had no idea when the north side of the Kotan River would become desolate, so they moved to one or two other places.

And the cities that used to flourish are now occupied only by the homeless and the slums. Even though people live, security is not maintained, making them almost like lawless cities.

Thaddran, one of those cities.

A large, four-horse wagon came through the north entrance. A silver-haired man sits in a relaxed position on the wagon stool.

The wagon that passed through the North Gate crossed an intersection of two paths, north and east and north.

Suddenly, people pour out from the buildings and suddenly surround the wagon. Then a big man who seemed to be the leader of them stepped forward, saying,

“I won't say it. Just disappear. ”

The man with silver hair smiles bloody. And he said, mimicking a man's tone as if he was playing a joke.

“I won't say it. Go away now.”

“You bastard!”

The chief wants to move his hand behind his back, but at some point he pulls out a seemingly sharp axe.

“Do you want to die? ”

The Silver Haired Man's smile twists even more severely.

“Do you want to die?”

“What? Don't regret it after you die, you son of a bitch! ”

The leader lunges forward screaming. At the same time, those who were surrounding the wagon rushed towards the perimeter as well.

At that moment, Lycaen, a silver-haired man, flew from the carriage seat. As soon as the leader saw that, Lycaen's face suddenly appeared in front of his nose.

“Suck!”

The startled man raises his axe in reflex.

Whoo-hoo!

A standing axe shatters the wind. There is no hesitation about the axe thrown at a person's head if he has already experienced it many times. A vertical falling trajectory.

At that moment, something flashed into the chief's eyes.

Knuckle!

Suddenly, the white trail flashes, and the sack of axes is cut off. At the same time, a eerie sensation licks the trunk.

“Cough!”

A confusion erupted from the chief's mouth. Cold window blades are suddenly touching under the chin.

“You, you! ”

In a sudden situation, the rest of the group stands still and stares at Lycaen.

“Movement will make my throat feel better. Do you want to try it? ”

“Hey, can't you put this away? ”

“I can't get rid of it. ”

Suddenly, the hordes surrounding the wagon take a step, slowly approaching.

“Stop right there! Come any closer and I'll put a real hole in his neck! ”

As the crowd stops again, a shout comes from the chief's mouth.

“What the hell are you doing when I'm in this situation! ”

Then a man came forward from the crowd. The boss, who saw the man with his eyes, cried in a bewildered voice.

“What the hell are you doing? ”

“Heheheh heh, you've tried enough. It's time for you to leave. ”

“You dog trafficker……. ”

Lycaen, who saw the shape, burst into laughter.

“Ha, you don't seem very fortunate. ”

At the same time, a sharp spear grabs the flesh.

“Oh, stop! Stop, you bastards! ”

The chieftain shouts, but his words no longer work.

“Kill him!”

A new man came forward and blew himself away shouting loudly. The rest of the group also rushed forward without hesitation as if they were going to take the new guy as their leader.

At the same time, Lycaen also flew away screaming.

“Dammit! As soon as we get here, we're having a big welcoming party. Wolf, you'll die if he comes back! ”

Kwajijijik!

The rocks on the road crumble with a heavy kick. As the shattered stones scatter to all directions, Lycaen's body fires forward.

The rapid upward repulsive force pushes up the massive aerodynamic force of the short circuit, spreading the air throughout your body. At the same time, a faint glimmer at the end of the window.

Shhh!

A sharp spear cuts through the flesh, and red blood spills out onto the dry road. Scream was next.

“Rrrrgh!”

A dirty man with half his thighs cut off rolls the floor. Lycaen flies over the man who follows him as soon as he stumbles on his feet.

A fast-moving window blade sprinkles blood around the area, leaving a blurry vision.

In an instant, about ten people were lying on the floor. The unexpected situation prevents others from rushing in and stopping.

“Come out, you wanting to die again! ”

It was then.

Two or two!

You hear a loud hoofbeating from a distance, and a group of dummies rush toward you. And the one in the lead cried out loudly.

“Earl!"

Wolf.

Lycaen, who saw Wolf running, said to the man who had become the new leader.

“Don't you think running is a long way to go? ”

The runner was able to get here a little more relaxed. But during that time, he was not a worthy opponent.

“Profit! Damn it, pull them all out! ”

The group surrounding Lycaen slips away like a tide. It was shortly after Wolf arrived.

“Those bastards dare to speak to the Earl! What are you Knights doing? Go and get it...! ”

Oh, shit!

“Aah!”

The wolf screams, wrapped around its head, in sudden shock. Lycaen asks, grabbing the spear from Wolf's back.

“What are you doing?”

“Ugh, the ship, the erl. Are you okay?”

Licayen frowns slightly at Wolf, who hurriedly lowers his voice and asks.

“Am I going to get stabbed by them? ”

“Th-that's not it……. ”

“Clearly, I should have gotten there in time. ”

“Th-that's... because the waves are so high that my ship... sailed late... ”

“The waves were so high that the boat couldn't sail for five days? ”

“Mmmm... ”
