Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 1. The Fall of the Marquis of Holts (2)

The two pieces of paper were Operation Orders from Earl Procurus and Earl Gronst. A command that says how to get out of the Garrison when and how to navigate and how to attack the Ruo Royal Fortress. And the content is no different from the memory of Earl Holtz who chased them directly behind.

But that's it. This paper can be written after meeting in the fortress, so it cannot be evidence that the two armies acted according to their master's orders.

But the two earls in question are still relaxed faces. The relaxation deepens the anxiety in the mind of Earl Holtz. And Lycaen pointed to Anton and Shylon with a relaxing face of courtesy.

“Your men will prove to you that we have not made contact with either of them in this fortress. ”

“What?"

Earl Holtz's head is reflectively returned to Earl Crion. Earl Crion suddenly takes a step back and asks Earl Holtz in a hurry.

“Is that really true? ”

I didn't need to hear the answer. Earl Crion's expression is already telling me everything.

And the one who gets in the way.

“This operation must have been put in place by these two. That letter of mouth came up to me. ”

Earl Robyn has just brought out a piece of paper similar to the one you saw.

“Profit……. ”

Earl Holtz tries to say something, but it doesn't sound right. Earl Robyn gave me a kind of operation proposal, not much different from the contents of the two orders I just saw. And the fact that Marquis Robyn arrived here later than he did, he saw it for himself.

Earl Holtz's expression changes sharply.

“How could this be……. When did this...... ”

Earl Holtz was the least understood part. Lycaen and Caith must have been left in Jackson Canyon, and the news was lost. The scouts later reported that the Royal Troops were scavenging around Jackson Canyon, heavily surrounding the area. It meant that Lycaen and Caith had escaped Jackson Canyon, but were unable to break through the siege.

How do those two survive, offer a mission and give orders to their own army?

It was full of incomprehensible things. At that moment, Lycaen's voice is heard in the ears of Count Holtz.

“We can do it that way. ”

Earl Holtz quickly raises his head, and Lycaen points behind him. And where Lycaen pointed, Julia was wiggling with a bow.

“What!”

Earl Holtz spits out the truth with his mouth, and at the same time, something pops into his mind.

‘Ew, arrows……. Charge!’

The night before the Frost and Gronst left their encampments, there was an attempt to strike with an arrow thought to have been done by the Luo Kingdom troops on the south-eastern edge of his guard.

He clearly remembered that the late Lord Holtz had brought it to his senses. It turned out that Lycaen and Caith used arrows to send orders to their armies.

The situation is painted in the mind of Earl Holtz. But it's not something you can just nod your head and skip.

“If you could have conveyed your will that way, you would have told me first! ”

“Aha, I knew that, but I didn't think about it because I was being chased. ”

When I saw Lycaen smiling softly and speaking, I felt even more depressed.

“This guy……. ”

And there was one fact that was unacceptable.

‘With only 2,000.... ’

The order in question contained that Earl Frost and Earl Gronst were asked to destroy all the forces of the Luo Kingdom that were blocking the road and then take down the weakened fortress.

However, there are only 2,000 troops in both armies. It is a thousand troops each because it is divided from each other. How can such an enemy march into the fortress, annihilating all of Ruo's forces? I mean, I could have done anything, but it was absolutely impossible.

The Royal Army of Luo was clearly a misfit, and the two Earls were a rare elite army. However, it was a troop difference that could never be won.

‘The troops we encountered were 30,000…. Oh, no! ’

One thing suddenly popped into Earl Holtz's head with a huge shock. The Confederate 1st Company, which led him here, defeated 30,000 Luo Kingdom troops.

‘This, this guy's true purpose... …. ’

After having Warden Holtz chase the deserted troops, he deliberately led them into contact with the Luo Kingdom troops, leading them into a situation where they had no choice but to fight. Although I did not ask, it was clear that the 2nd Legion that came down through the central route also had a similar situation.

In other words, Earl Frost and Earl Gronst were responsible for drawing themselves into the presence of the Royal Luo Army. They pursued the deserters without even realizing it, and used chi to save their food and wipe out the Luo Kingdom army.

In other words, Lycaen has completely made fun of him.

“Was it the purpose of getting us to fight the Luo Empire army in the first place?! ”

Earl Holtz gives you a trembling voice in anger, but Lycaen tilts his head in ignorance.

“I don't know what you mean. How was I supposed to know the Confederate commander who had no interest in fighting the Luo Imperial Army? ”

“How dare he……. Who are you messing with? ”

It was then.

“Seize the Confederates who have broken orders and deserted the Unauthorized Encampment, and the Grand Marquis of Holtz who incited them! ”

“What!”

Earl Holtz smiles blankly as he digs into his ears. What nonsense is this? Who catches what and who?

The eyes of Earl Holtz move vigorously towards the sound. I can see the Marquis of Robyn staring at me.

“What are you talking about! Catch who?”

But the situation was not under the control of Earl Holtz.

“I will fulfill my orders! ”

Consecutive absurd conversation. This time, I was able to know who was enough without having to confirm. It was Lycaen's voice.

I have nothing more to think about. Warden Holtz uncovers the number of thoughts he had if things didn't go his way.

Chae-yeon!

Along with a sharp iron screech, the Earl of Holtz's sword comes out of the sword. Along with him, his mouth bursts with pain.

“Occupy the Keep! ”

Earl Holtz told me to pick up and ‘occupy’ an ally occupied fortress. It didn't even need to think about it.

The army of the Kingdom of Bren, which has been preparing for war for many years, was mostly elite, with the exception of the territorial army. That meant that any order could be reacted immediately, excluding his thoughts. And the Confederate Army was one of them.

Window, car window!

The end of the sentence gives you a terrifying reaction. Earl Poneltz, the Knight Leader, and the Knights, have drawn their swords at the same time, leading the squadron leader, Creon.

No answer is needed at this time. Your body reacts first, and you can talk when you're done.

Earl Holtz's head spins faster and faster.

It was Earl Procurus and Earl Gronst who captured the fortress of the Luo Kingdom, but the Confederate forces were overwhelming here today.

The Southern Defence Force has arrived, but the man inside is the late Robyn and a few of his escort knights.

If we move quickly, the Marquis of Robyn, Lycaen, and Caith can be captured and taken over the keep. The southern defenses outside are threatening and some of the fortress's barricades have fallen, but if we take the late lord Robyn hostage and turn to the fort, we stand a chance.

How quickly do you catch the Marquis of Robyn?

Pavat!

He notices the mind of Earl Holtz, and Earl 1st Company Leader Crion strikes the ground and hurls himself toward Earl Robyn. Then came Earl Crion's escort knights, lieutenant commanders, and senior soldiers.

As Earl Crion marches on the Robain Emperor, the Ponelz and his knights charge towards Lycaen and Caith, and his noble commanders rush to the two Earls within the keep.

Earl Holtz clenches his fist, calling for joy. It happened so fast, but he kept everything under wraps. The chaotic Confederate forces have turned the thoughts in the mind of Earl Holtz into perfect action.

The moment you see Earl Crion and his troops surrounding the Marquis of Robyn, the Lord of Holtz cries out in a loud voice.

“Got it!”

And one word that sounded like I was answering that cry.

“What will it be? ”

Earl Holtz looks up at the sudden sound and moves his eyes toward the sound. At the same time, wrinkles crease the eyes of Earl Holtz, raising deep suspicions.

"Smile?"

Lycaen smiled as he watched the Knights rush towards him.

Earl Holtz feels the back of his head freezing cold. But even then, things happened without a moment's notice.

“Hehe!”

A groan came out of my mouth. My shoulders are shaking and my knees are shaking. Fear, the Earl of Holtz, was realizing it was the first time since birth.

Whoo-hoo!

With heavy corrosion and a swinging iron spear, the knights' bodies are being cut down in two. It wasn't cutting, it was tearing in two.

The dreadful pressure and speed of the cage caused the armor and flesh to burst before the blades could touch it.

* Cough, cough *

Flesh rips, bones crumble.

Every time you swing it, it splits into two, one by one, and spreads out onto the floor. He was wearing steel armor, but the devastating power of Lycaen's iron spear rips him apart like a bell.
