Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“Are you okay?"

Julia asks with a worried voice toward Wolf. It was because an arrow flew in during a struggle on his thigh and forearm.

She wasn't fine either. You fire an arrow without stopping, and it's hard to even lift your shoulder.

Tom and Jack are all wounded in the face of Yulia's enemies.

The only people who weren't injured were Elisha, who was caught on the shoulders of Lycaen and Lycaen.

Now, what they're lying on is a warehouse on the outskirts of Kventium. He threw off a wild chase and hid his body.

Elisha looks at Wolf's wounds, ignoring the pain on her shoulders. And he said with a dark face.

“I need to pull out the arrows and sew them up. ”

“Hnng!”

Wolf frowns and groans. Wolf wasn't the only one who needed treatment. Tom and Jack had to bandage the wounds around their bodies. Some of the big and small wounds were serious enough to be stitched up.

Lycaen points at Elisha and tells Yulia.

“Come with me and bring something weak and sewn up. ”

Elisha shakes her head and says,

“I'll go by myself. ”

“No!”

Elisha asks with a dark expression.

“Why?”

“How am I supposed to trust you when you're conflicted? ”

“Phew!”

As Elisha sighs for a long time, Lycaen says one more time to Yulia.

“Come with me. ”

“Yes.”

After a while, Julia and Elisha return with supplies, clothes, and food for first aid.

“Treatment first.”

Yulia approaches Wolf on Lycaen's word. After a long life as a mercenary and using a bow, he was quite knowledgeable about the wounds caused by arrows.

After biting a small stick into Wolf's mouth, Julia speaks in a faint voice.

“Be patient.”

Yulia moves her sword, terrified to the end of her words.

When postponed with the arrows taken from the enemy, the edges of the arrows in Wolf's body have scales that stand upside down. If I just pulled it out, I could tear the flesh out. So I had to cut the wound with my knife and pull out the arrow.

“Ugh!"

A cry echoes from Wolf's mouth that bears back the screams. But there was still something bigger going on.

Julia grabs the crossbow and asks.

“I'll take it this time. I really have to endure it... ”

As soon as the Wolf nods, Julia gives you a jolt of strength.

“Shhh!”

The stick that was biting my mouth was crumbling. But it didn't make a big scream.

Julia wipes the sweat off her brow and reaches for the second arrow.

Meanwhile, Lycaen calls Tom and Jack to stitch up a big wound. He's been on many battlefields in his past life, and he can do enough with his eyes closed to stitch up his wounds.

“Phew!”

Lycaen and Julia sigh at the same time. Then the Wolf lies flat on the ground. It requires extreme physical strength to cut the wound, pull out the arrow, and endure the pain while sewing, so he fell completely exhausted. The situation was the same with Tom and Jack.

Lycaen heads for Yulia.

“I'll protect you first, so keep your eyes open for a while. ”

“Yes? I'll go first. Sleep first. ”

Lycaen shakes his head as Yulia gestures.

“Your shoulders aren't normal either. Get some rest.”

“Ah……. ”

“Hurry!”

“Yes.”

Julia quickly lies flat on the floor. She shoots a crazy bow as well, and quickly drops to see if she's had a chance to recover.

Four men fall asleep, and within the warehouse, only Lycaen and Elisha are awake. Elisha, who was momentarily lost in thought, speaks in a voice as she crawls towards Lycaen.

“I'm sorry.”

As long as she had a head, she knew enough to know that the current situation was made because of her.

“Don't you know that? ”

“Yes, it won't happen again. ”

It was Elisha speaking in Gigi's dead voice, but Lycaen was not a temperamental person.

“Fuck you. You did that with your eyes open! ”

“Now it's really.... ”

Elisha tries to say something, but Lycaen shakes his head.

“Done. Don't say another word. ”

“But……. ”

“Instead, make a bet with me. ”

Spikes rising sharply as if they were piercing the sky were erected in a circle at a constant interval, and a majestic architecture sat within them. There were traces of time left around the walls of the building, but it was still solid.

The name of this architecture is Gladion Palace, where the sharpness of its spires is incredibly favorable. This is where the Emperor of the Gronis Empire lives.

The castle was nicknamed 'Palace of the Sword’ because the walls that stood firmly around it and the spires that looked beyond it looked like a sword embedded upside down in the ground.

Historically, it was also a nickname that displayed the favorable qualities of the empire that led to many conquest wars and this great territory.

The deepest depths of such a Gladion palace. A man is slowly walking down the hall. Next to him, a man of Ban Baek, who had white hair mixed with brown hair, walked behind him and said,

“We're in pursuit, so we should be able to catch it soon. ”

However, the face of the young man who had strong red hair who was walking earlier was not very bright. The man's words stopped horribly and looked back.

Soft, rounded eyes, but a gust of energy was something that ordinary people could not dare touch.

A surprised anti-white man hurriedly corrects his words.

“Tonight, I will deal with it tonight. Emperor!”

Your Majesty, the red-headed man. He is the most powerful man in the empire, no, the continent. It was the young emperor of the Gronist Empire, Kriontes.

The emperor spoke in a bold voice.

“You'll have results by tomorrow morning. ”

“No, of course not. Emperor!”

While the anti-white man bowed deeply, the emperor slowly walked down the hall and stood in front of the door of the giant room.

Then the two proximal knights guarding the door quickly opened the door.

The emperor spoke to the two proximal knights.

“If the Empress comes tonight, don't let her in. ”

The two proximal knights hurriedly raise their ordinances in the words of an extremely uncomfortable emperor.

“Yes, Your Majesty! ”

The emperor enters the chamber and the door closes. Once the door is closed so thick that it cannot leak out loud, the outside and the inside become a completely separate space.

“Phew!”

The emperor sighs heavily and sits on his bed. Recently, he's been extremely agitated by the golden hall that was lost to the late Emperor 100 years ago.

It's precisely because the Knights of the Twilight went missing and Elisha went missing.

The Emperor has ordered a separate investigation, and as a result, he has been found missing in the Republic of Morellia. And the last thing I noticed was the surprising thing about the auction house, which is presumed to have been investigated.

It was said to have been done with the deliverer of the item in question, which had been lost by Klaus.

However, it was either one of them that disappeared without reporting. You were rushed to follow up, or you were beaten.

Two months after he disappeared, Elisha appeared in the capital. Not with the Knights of the Twilight, either.

The Emperor's suspicions grew deeper.

Of course, there was also the possibility of an unspoken situation. But he didn't like to be relaxed at times like this. At this time, I had to arrest him and interrogate him.

That's why I sent the Knights of Dusk to catch them, but somehow they only reported that they missed.

“You incompetent things! ”

It was the moment when the emperor was lying on the bed, muttering as if to chew and spit.

Suddenly, you hear someone's voice in the dark.

“Hey, Emperor. ”

“Who are you?”

The surprised emperor jumped up and asked.

Chaen!

The emperor, who had just risen to his full height, pulls out the long sword from the wall.

“How dare you... ”

Meanwhile, the shadow of the problem walks out of the darkness, leaning against the window. A strong young man. But I couldn't see his face because he was wearing a mask.

“If you don't say it quickly……. ”

At that time, the masked man raised his hand lightly, as if to restrain the emperor.

“Hey, hey. Uncle Emperor.”

“How dare you make fun of my tongue! ”

“I've come to talk to you about something, but it's so intense. ”

“What?"

“You, talk to me. Are you deaf?”

“Foolish bastard.... ”

Then the masked man suddenly took something out of his arms.

“Suck! It! ”

What the masked man had in his hand was a golden hall. But it wasn't his thing.

The thought of going through the brain of an emperor.

“That can't be Kleus.... ”

The masked man was Lycaen. Through Elisha, the Knights of Dusk snuck into the Imperial Palace through a secret passageway. Lycaen nods.

“Yes, the one that your great-grandfather Klaus stole 100 years ago. ”

“Mmmm... ”

Moaning comes from the mouth of the emperor. Lycaen, who saw it, said in a laughable voice.

“Do you have something to say now? ”
