Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 11. Start of War (2)

Finally, Lycaen looks at the horse.

“Joel... he's doing something a little more secretive, but we'll deal with it later." Sit down first. "

As soon as Joel sat down, he brought it up.

“The one you asked me to find out about. ”

“Huh."

“There is no movement in the Kingdom of Luo. Even the most important parts of the Acronian Mountains are decreasing their garrison. ”

When Caith heard that, he was surprised and asked.

“Luo Kingdom? Subtract troops? I don't think we have that information yet... ”

And Lycaen explained it again.

“So I told you. I'm doing something a little more secret. ”

As Caith scratches his back and looks at Joel, Joel says,

“By the way... this is some new information, about the secret society. ”

Lycaen blinks and asks.

“Well, is it new? ”

“I don't understand this... but I found traces in the palace. ”

“Royal Palace?! ”

Lycaen screams without my knowledge. A palace, no other place. Suddenly, the thought in my head.

“Wait, a royal palace... I knew the king would keep on fighting. Hey, Caith, what do you think? ”

“Huh? What? ”

“The way the king talks about war. ”

“Hmm, pretty sure. What do you mean" Byron "? ”

Lycaen began to explain after a moment of deliberation.

“There's a secret group of conspirators. It seems to consist solely of Byronites……. ”

As Lycaen's explanation continues, Caith's face is stunned.

“Is it true? ”

“Do you think I'm lying? ”

“Even so…. ”

Caith mutters in disbelief. A secret society that makes war happen and abducts people. Moreover, when I heard the story, it was enormous.

Lycaen gives you a thoughtful look.

“I think the King and the Secret Society have a connection... What do you think? ”

“The king?”

“They're pretty good at promoting conflict, I'd say. And if there's a war the king is so sure of... I think it's safe to assume they're involved. Of course, it's all speculation. ”

“There seems to be a possibility.... ”

“It's not a matter of haste, but let's wait and see. It's gonna come out one way or another. ”

Lycaen, who finished the story, hurries to talk.

“What about you, anyway? ”

“For now, Shylon is busy moving. ”

“Huh? Your sister? ”

“Yes, I'm meeting merchants I haven't dealt with so far. I go to see the nobles who run the Merchant Guild first. ”

“Hmm, really? ”

Caith nods and smiles nervously.

“He's still busy helping his brother, but I feel pretty good. I thought I had a sense when I was in the territory... ”

Lycaen asked, interested.

“Really?"

“I told you, I'm actually in the mood to raise taxes at the State Council, but Shylon's taking the mood against the nobles at the State Council. ”

“Hmm, you sure have senses, don't you? ”

It was then.

My baby!

You hear a sharp iron hiss.

“Town!”

Three startled men slam into a spear in a flash.

“What is that? ”

Joel asked with a puzzled expression. It was definitely the two of them who were at the entrance when they entered the mansion.

One was a knight I saw in the Earl Frost, and the other was a knight in uniform. However, they picked up the rapier and stared at each other.

“Mmmm... ”

“Hmm……. ”

And Lycaen and Caith were sighing in strange groaning.

“I thought it might explode once.... ”

“You did, did you? ”

The two who look at each other with weapons are Wolf and Dunbane.

Lycaen, who was thinking for a moment, said to Caith,

“I don't know when it will explode again even if I tear it from here, but why don't you make it cool today? ”

“Will it be okay?"

“I don't know. ”

With a blurry, anxious look on his face, Caith nods with difficulty.

“We have to do something about it. That's not a bad way to go. ”

Lycaen nods, smiling and running straight out the window.

“Enough!”

A sudden appearance of Likayen, surprised Wolf and Dunbane rush in and insert the contained rapier. After confirming his appearance, Lycaen smiles and flirts.

“What? Once you take it out, you have to keep it cool, right? ”

It was Dunbane who answered first.

“I'm sorry, but as the Acolyte of Erl Gronst, I could not rule on my own. I'll be careful from now on.”

“Ah, never mind that. It's not that I didn't like the two of you a little bit... Let's have a cool fight about pulling out the sword. ”

“Yes?”

Unlike Dunbane, who looks embarrassed, Wolf laughs loudly.

“Mwahaha, I knew the Earl knew something. Did you really authorize this? ”

“When did I say such nonsense? ”

There was a look on Dunbane's face that he couldn't understand, watching the two people who were talking so comfortably. No matter how close we are, it is the Lord and the Holy Father's relationship. I didn't like the way it looked at Dunbane's standards.

Then another jumped out the window into the garden.

“Oh, Joo-gun! Sorry!”

Dunbane nods in haste as Caith approaches. However, Caith stroked his hand as if it were fine.

“Well, there's no need to apologize. Dunbane, by the way.”

“Yes, Earl! ”

“I feel the same way about Lycaen.... ”

“Yes?”

“Now that we have bad feelings about each other, why don't we try to keep it cool in front of us? ”

“Well, can I do that? ”

When Caith's permission falls, Dunbane asks with a half-tone.

“Of course.”

“I understand!”

Then the duel between Wolf and Dunbane began.

Grab it, grab it!

A loud hiss echoes through the garden of the small mansion.

A cheerful trajectory that is drawn with a polite and heavy footing and a smooth line. Dunbane's swordsmanship was something that allowed anyone to see that it was an authentic knight.

Bang, bang!

Wolf's sword, on the other hand, is unpleasant. Through the training of the masquerade method, the crucifixion that ripens through the body draws tremendous force, creating a devastating force that it cannot inflict with its sleek, elongated layers. Wolf was also learning knight-trained swordsmanship at first, but his character changed as he practiced masquerading.

There was no compromise between the two of them. They do not retreat from each other at all, and when the reverence flies, they try to fight back first rather than avoid it. A fierce pride battle that cannot be tolerated to take a step back.

“Ahhhh!”

Along with a heavy struggle, Dunbane's layer rises from below and upward.

Chooang!

A Wolf that prevents quick attacks. Two rapiers slam into each other and the flames flash.

At that moment.

Shririric!

A rapier in Dunbane digs into the Wolf's lap, drawing a snake's crooked trail. As you make haste to pick up your sword, Dunbane's rapier digs deeper into Wolf's wrist.

“Suck!”

The wolf swallows a false wind and swings its rapier at a well-intentioned attack.

My baby!

A rapier rising into the air with a loud noise. The Wolf's. His blade was torn apart by a twisted stabbing.

Sheik! Sheik!

Nevertheless, Dunbane's stabbing never stops. Eventually, the Wolf flew backwards.

And once they start to get stuck, they keep pushing back.

A smile of remorse spreads across Dunbane's face as he relentlessly attacks. The moment I saw that smile, I saw blood feet in Wolf's eyes.

“Oh, fuck! ”

Wolf bursts into a fierce cry, his eyes wide open and he slams forward.

Kuang!

Heavy earthquake. Dunbane's rapier flies towards his shoulder at that moment. Wolf rolls over as if he didn't have anything else to see.

“Huff!”

Surprised, Dunbane quickly retrieves the rapier, and Wolf's fist rises toward Dunbane's jaw.
