Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 8. Jackson Canyon (4)

Just because two territorial troops are missing doesn't mean it's a problem. Nevertheless, it was simply an imposition to say it that way.

“You can't follow orders? ”

“As a Confederate commander, I have a duty and authority to advise you of your misjudgement, and I am exercising that duty and authority now. ”

Again, the word is "advice." Whatever happens, the Marquis of Holtz speaks the same words as the parrot, but the Marquis of Robyn responds calmly.

“But I'm under no obligation to take your advice. So I command you again. ”

“This can't be happening. Sacrificing a great deal for a cow is unacceptable. Hmm, I don't usually see the whole thing from the lesser commanders. How did that person end up in charge of this great war……. ”

Having gone through such a great process as to be expressed by legend, the Lovanese Grand Duke was the object of contrition to the lesser nobles, but the fact that he was called the same title to the higher nobles itself was only unpleasant.

“What did you just say? ”

The Marquis of Robyn asks in a more calm voice.

Marquis Holtz's words were a clear quarrel he couldn't possibly not recognize unless he was a fool.

Usually, the two of them would fight invisible battles, but they had never been more direct like today. It was the Marquis of Robyn who was just going to do that, but he was humiliated to this extent, but I couldn't bear it.

“Do you realize you're insulting even His Majesty, who gave me command and title? ”

“Huh, what are you trying to frame me for? You don't think it's fair that I insulted His Majesty? I just said something about someone who doesn't see what's really important and thinks big about small things. ”

Technically, the actions of Earl Holtz now fall into disobedience, or inferiority. And if you take it to Bilmi, the late Robyn will be deprived of the command of Earl Holtz. In the exhibition, the discretion of the general commander is greatly expanded.

Nevertheless, he was confident that there was still nothing he could do to face it publicly.

Factions exist not only among the provincial lords, but also among the central leaders and military officers. And Earl Holtz was nothing more than a good man to Duke Eigen. And almost all the territories that are now gathered were the Duke of Eigen clans. In other words, the majority of Bren's 40,000 troops in the mountains of Acronia were under the rule of Earl Holtz at almost 30,000.

This means you can push back the Marquis of Robyn with your best exercises. Earl Holtz's confidence was right there.

The calm expression on the Marquis of Robyn's face gives a cold smile. Then he took a quiet step back and said.

“You don't have to talk to people who don't know what's really important. I'll be going now.”

As soon as the horse is finished, he turns around and leaves the tent, toward Anton and Shylon, who are still inside the tent, facing the rear view of the late Robyn.

“You guys should get out there. And don't forget, if you move your troops without my permission, it will be considered treason and everyone will be beheaded. ”

Anton and Shylon also set out from the tent of Earl Holtz.

“But what are you going to do? ”

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he asked. And Anton shrugged his shoulders as if he had no choice.

“Are you sure it's okay? You have to cut your head off. ”

“Well, I thought so. How did the knights and soldiers react? ”

“Hehe, this is our reaction. Why not? ”

“I see. Okay, I better get ready, too. ”

“I'll see you in a moment. ”

Yikes!

I hear something unusual. And go for the flute with the sound.

As soon as Caith is around, he makes an impression and swallows something in his thistle mouth. Gouging out between Caith's lips is a luscious bloodline and an abomination.

“Grrrgh!”

Caith's mouth leaks a noise filled with harsh emotions, chewing them all hard. And I didn't forget to say a word to the next Lycaen.

“Damn, it's the last day, right? ”

“Khh, but it's better than the first time. ”

Lycaen smiles strangely and puts a speck of raw meat on a wide stone into his mouth. And I chewed it for a long time and swallowed it as if it couldn't be better.

Caith frowns and watches his friend eat. And finally, I couldn't bear it.

“It looks really good on your face. ”

“You'd better think it's delicious if you're going to eat it anyway. ”

“Still…. Whoever eats steak rarely in front of me, I swear to God, I'll kill him! ”

It was not so sad that the shape of speaking suddenly changed.

Day five. Caith has been eating raw meat from the beast for five days. Although the steak is eaten as a bloody rare, the meat is eaten as it tastes fine. It is difficult to eat meat in any area without bleeding. Especially if it's a mountain beast caught in these mountains.

After coming here to Boren Basin, I ate the raw meat of the beast for five days. Now it seemed so natural that I could feel the stink and the smell that remained in my mouth.

Lycaen shrugs.

“We can't start a fire. ”

Literally, they filled their bellies with fruit that they did not know the name or raw meat of the mountain beast for five days to avoid setting fire to their locations.

Likayen's gaze was lightly glimpsed by Gronst's knights, including Dunbane. Even Yulia, a woman, forcefully swallowed meat with her face. The Gronst knights had never spoken a word since the very first time. I just filled my stomach with fruits I didn't even know the name of.

Of course, I told them I couldn't do it properly, but the knights refused to finish.

No, he didn't just refuse, he even made an abhorrent face towards Lycaen, who enjoys raw meat. He said he wouldn't let her see it, but he knew the reaction from the beginning.

Other than not lighting a fire, what I did to hide my body was to dig deep into the ground and stay in it.

When the digging started, Caith and all the knights couldn't keep their mouths shut. It was astonishing how Lycaen, who is the owner of a territory and an Earl, could shovel like that. With a sleazy shovel tied to a wide slate of rocks.

It was a natural thing to be familiar with when Lycaen was in the slaughterhouse in her previous life, but other people who didn't know the circumstances must have been great wonders.

In that way, there were other wonders. It was about Caith's treatment. Yulia stitched it up, but all the medicines that had been applied to his wound for days were the herbs that Lycaen had gone into the mountains alone and rescued.

And those herbs did a pretty good job. Since I have profound knowledge of herbs and remedies after shoveling, Wonders can only get darker.

After all, it's been five days since I've been so dedicated to treatment, living on the ground only as raw meat.

Lycaen suddenly waves his hand and asks.

“Are you okay now? ”

Puck!

“Ugh!"

Caith groans without my knowledge.

The wound wasn't completely healed, but it didn't add up any more. It was okay to move around a lot because of the stitches. I still felt a bit uneasy about it, but I couldn't help it.

Of course, he was beaten mercilessly like Lycaen, but he was not well enough. No, you'll be stunned if you just get hit like that, even if you're fine.

“Bastard. If I wasn't your friend, I'd just... ”

“Well, you seem to have a good mind to answer that. ”

“Yes, I'm fine! You got it? God damn you, man! ”

Caith yells, but Licayen ignores this charm lightly, as he always does.

“Now that you've made me better in five days, as promised, should we do what I say? ”

“Tsk, got it. ”

“Good thinking. All right, let's get our weapons. ”

When Lycaen picks up the cage and says, Caith suddenly smiles and says,

“Uheeheehee, I don't have to eat that raw meat anymore. Just thinking about it... Ugh! ”

Chapter 9. Desertion (1)

“What's going on? ”

A distraught voice echoes through the tent of Earl Holtz. It was because of the loud noises that came from deep night outside the tent.

Deputy Biren leaps in and shouts, "I've been waiting."

“We're on the run!”

“Escape?”

Earl Holtz tilts his head, not understanding what it means, whether it's because he hasn't woken up yet. Biren quickly adds an explanation.

“Earl Frost and Earl Gronst have left their unauthorized encampments! ”

“What!”
