Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 10. The Fall of Iron Castle (4)

Although Caith wasn't particularly dismissive of women, women are still weaker than men. However, after climbing up the cliff alive, I felt a sense of self-esteem for some reason.

Then Lycaen, who was still waiting, said.

“What are you doing up there? ”

“Your children, including you, are monsters. You damn monsters! ”

“Ugh, a monster for a healthy person. Excuse me for saying that. ”

“Shit! I'm fine... ”

Caith blurs his words with a hollow expression. Then I remembered what I just said again. No matter how much I think about it, I think I'm right.

“You, be honest. You knew this was a cliff, right? ”

“I didn't know.”

“Are you for real?"

“It's true.”

But Lycaen's face was smiling. And that smile solidified his symptoms.

“Son of a bitch! He's a friend, too! ”

“So who's your friend if I'm not? ”

“Oh, what a mistake. ”

“What?”

“Having friends with you. ”

Lycaen smiles and asks.

“So what are you going to do? ”

“What can I do? I can't take a bite out of a friend already, and I'm just gonna sell it. Shit!”

“Hehehe, good heart. Then let's get up there. ”

Lycaen starts making fun of you, terrified of the end of the horse.

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

The sound of the dagger digging up the side of the cliff hovers in your ears.

“Ha! What a monster. ”

But in fact, Caith and the other knights climbing up the cliff along those monsters were also a bit of a crowd.

And Lycaen thought they could do this, too, so they chose to climb this cliff.

Caith looks up at Lycaen and his knights, who climbed to the top first, and points to his knights who follow.

“Aren't you coming soon? ”

Chapter 11. Closing, the War on Mines (1)

“Hey, Rudy. Are you okay?”

“Yes? Well, what's wrong with that? ”

Rudy looks at Hurley with a worried face.

But it really wasn't okay. Fatigue unlike marches from Earl Frost to the Acronian Mountains here. Just a little longer and I felt like I might die if I just ran one more time.

Five nights after Lycaen fell out of Jackson Canyon. Earl Frost's forces have abandoned their encampment, ignoring the warning of the Confederate Commander Holtz.

As soon as the Earl Gronst came out, he turned to the other side.

Earl Frost's chosen route was to land along a ridge line between peaks in the eastern part of the Acronian mountains. Rudy wouldn't have been this exhausted if he had just followed the ridge. The problem was that the ridge climbed and descended numerous times.

If you want to move a little, you suddenly follow the road to the side of the ridge, sometimes down the slope without the road, and as soon as you get down, you go back up to the original ridge. Several times a day to do so. It was like climbing on an empty stomach every morning for days when Rudy stayed at Earl Frost.

Rudy was a life-threatening enforcer, who had been on the verge of depletion by marching here from Earl Frocus.

The only thing that's kept him going so far is that troops like Hurley take care of him from time to time. I supported Rudil with my legs free, held back a backpack of food, etc. that was given to each individual, and even held back a rat if it prevented him from walking.

Thanks to his help, he was only able to endure five hellish days. Of course, I couldn't help thinking about how much longer we have to go on like this.

And the other reason he couldn't give up was because he was worried about Lycaen.

What happened to your brother-in-law? ’

Once upon a time, Rudy called Lycaen his brother-in-law. When I looked at myself, who had suffered quite a lot in Lycaen's army, and still survived well, I felt confident that I could win over Senna's heart.

Then I became more fond of Rikayen, and on the other hand, I admired him for creating such an exceptional army. That's why I'm more worried about Lycaen.

Of course, I could never say "brother-in-law."

Then, there was something strange about it a few days ago. It's been ten days since Lycaen was left alone in Jackson Canyon to buy time. Strangely, there was no anxiety among the soldiers.

Whether a lord lives or dies in a territorial unit has an absolute impact on fraud. But Rudy never thought Lycaen was dead. However, if he had already been missing for the tenth day, it was natural for him to think bad thoughts.

However, none of the troops in Rudil's platoon gave that impression. No, Rudy's platoon wasn't the only ones. The other soldiers around were the same.

Rudyl was also convinced that a monstrous human like Ricaien could not have died in such a place in vain. But even the smallest things can be swayed by soldiers' thoughts.

Do I even have to ask? ’

I waited for a few days, but I couldn't beat the frustration.

“Hurley. ”

Since one day, Rudy has been using the title 'older brother’ towards Holly. I don't know what it would be like if my identity was revealed later, but I felt comfortable calling it that.

“Why?”

“What happened to the Earl? ”

“Yes? What did the Earl say? ”

“It's been ten days since I went missing. Is there anything.... ”

Oh, shit!

“Ouch! Why, why! ”

Rudy shrouds his head and screams. I raised my fist and spit it out as if it wasn't already full.

“If you're talking nonsense, you should take one. ”

“When did I say such nonsense! I'm worried. What kind of nonsense is that? ”

“Tsk, tsk, my Earl... You think a monster like that would die so easily?" ”

He looks at his lord and says, "He's a monster." And in fact, for all the soldiers in Earl Frost, Lycaen was a monster.

It was because Lycaen was so vividly branded as he was speeding up and down the mountain without rest. Their physical strength has increased greatly over the years, but not a single person has been able to reproduce the image of Lycaen at the time. So if you don't call me a monster, what will you call me?

Rudyl is also familiar with it because he has heard it many times and has not had much reaction to it.

“Of course not. Shouldn't we be worried? ”

“How can you live with yourself if you show up here and you're worried when you don't have to? ”

“Hmmm! Well, maybe.... ”

Rudy was quite shocked. Holly's words were a firm belief that Lycaen would return safely, while also containing a strong wind that he hoped would return.

In the Kingdom of Bren, or in every country on the continent, which lord can gain this much trust and love from his people and soldiers?

“So don't think anything strange. Just follow me. If it spreads one more time, I'll just throw it away. ”

“Tsk!”

It was then.

Peek-a-boo!

The flute of high notes starts to ring.

“Huff!”

The moment I heard the sound, Rudy's face became a reflection. If you want to talk like that, just jump up the mountain.

The soldiers around you start to run, fearful of the sound.

“Run fast! ”

Holly's voice echoes in her ears.

“Ahhh!”

Rudy is being drawn to Hurley with tears in his eyes.

“You fool! ”

Phew!

Baron Ponelz, the knight who kicked the boat out of Lord Holtz, rolls the floor. He hurriedly got up from his seat and returned to his original position, but it was his first kick.

“The Knight Leader... ”

I felt feverish as I was, struggling to breathe with my impression.

It's been six days since Anton and Shylon left Gresen Mountain with the troops.

As soon as they left the fortress, they split south and southeast, moving in different directions, and the Holtz sent Satan down each of the two lanes. He was also chasing after those who fled southeast with 1st Company.

But for the sixth day, I was getting nothing.

Earl Prokers is leading those who fled to the southeast. But Lord Holtz has never been able to fight them properly.

Suddenly, they reveal themselves, and when Lord Holtz chases after them in his chi, they somehow hide themselves and are invisible. Instead, it was the Luo Kingdom troops who hid themselves all over the Acronia Mountains.

When I run after Earl Frost, I have to be exposed, and I can't help fighting against myself the moment I encounter them. At first, of course, you don't go after those who retreat after a short attack. We were in a hurry to catch Earl Frost.

On the second day, however, I came to a situation where I had to put on my clothes and chase after him.

It was the food.

I left without preparing anything because I thought I could catch it soon, but I was lost. It was natural that I entered the deep mountains in the middle of the night without any action.
