Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“Tsk! I can't help it. ”

“Good thinking. ”

Lycaen nods, lowering his head to Agnes.

“I'm sorry, Earl Gronst. ”

“Were you up all night? ”

The next morning, Lycaen and Caith come to the bedroom of the late Dovern.

“Hello? Would you like a cup of tea?" ”

Earl Dovern glanced out the window, relaxing in front of the table, drinking a warm tea, and greeted the two of them with a relaxed look.

Lycaen, who was following Caith, smiles quietly.

Even after everything that happened the other day, there was no sign of fatigue on the Marquis of Dorbon's face. That means you slept well, and you weren't particularly frightened after what happened the other day.

The boldness was the evidence that Lycaen was not wrong in choosing Marquis Doburn as their point of view.

When the two of you are seated, the late Lord Dovern pours the tea into their own teacups.

Glug glug!

The light aroma spread slowly and calmed the hearts of the two of them.

While Lycaen takes a sip of tea and slowly savors it, Earl Dovern empties his cup of tea.

“Are you going to tell me the story you were going to tell yesterday? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“Good. I think you're ready to hear. Tell me. ”

But Lycaen didn't start the story right away.

And Lord Dovern waited patiently until the cup of tea had been emptied, slowly tasting the tea Lycaen drank.

Sweet.

Then Lycaen opens his mouth, laying down an empty cup of tea.

“The story I'm going to tell you now is about a secret association that began long before the last Conquest War. ”

Liquenne was so unleashed of everything she knew about Circus.

The late Duke of Dorne, who heard the whole story, groaned with a serious look on his face.

“I guess that's why you felt that strange camouflage in the last war. ”

“Did you feel that way? ”

“It's basically because our armies fought so well, but strangely I felt like something was right. In a more concrete sense, yeah, I'd say tension. In fact, war is something that you don't know the consequences of until you get it right. That's why no matter how strong an army you have, you have to be nervous when you go to war. But this war, it was hard to find the tension that was unique to that war. ”

“I see. You have a good feeling about this. ”

The late Lord Dovern smiles in praise of Lycaen.

“Haha, I always have a good feeling about following the King around. Aren't we the kind of people who just fall into hell for one second of carelessness? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“So you think it's the continent they're after? ”

“Yes. In the last Conquest War, their behavior would have already made the regional lords of both the Brent and Gronis kingdoms their own. I don't think it's very big, given the size of the organization itself, but we have to assume that the power to move them is enormous. I think I'm going to use that power to take over the continent. ”

Even if there were not many members of the organization, the power to operate would likely be unimaginable if each of them had their own army as the Lord of each region.

“Well, it wouldn't be that big of a deal unless it was aiming for something big. ”

Lycaen is truly impressed by the appearance of Lord Dovern's bold nod.

When I heard this story, it was common to try to pretend to be calm, but my voice trembled first.

However, from the look of his eyes, Lord Dobbon did not see any tension in his voice or gesture. It seems to accept the fact without rejection with a natural expression.

Lycaen nods and explains.

“The stories I've told you so far are very big, but the situation itself is very simple. It's a clear situation in which an overwhelmingly large force is trying to swallow up the continent. But here's one variable. ”

“Variable?”

This time, the late Duke Dovern also looked a little surprised. I am surprised that there is such a thing as powerful as a variable for such a large group.

“That's right. There's a man in the way." ”

“What if he's involved? How?”

“I mean, there are people out there who want to conflict me and Circus. ”

“I'll have to ask around. You're trying to get you to hit the body of Circus? ”

“Yes, it's not that big of an organization after all. ”

Lord Dovern nods slowly.

“I don't know why, but you picked the right guy. ”

“A compliment.”

“Hmm……. ”

The Lord Dovern slowly folds his arms, leaning against the back of the chair. And I slowly closed my eyes and thought to myself.

Noticing that the stories he's heard are being organized in his mind, Lycaen and Caith wait silently for the end of his thoughts.

When the car that follows is cold, the Duke of Doran opens his eyes.

“The purpose of the man who wants to use you against Circus, is to take away the power of Circus? ”

“I think so. ”

“Yesterday it looked like you were going to abandon your territory and dive in. Is that correct?" ”

“Yes.”

“And that's why you don't want to match his intentions? ”

“That's right. I'm preparing to fight Circus, but he doesn't need to hear what he wants." ”

Circus was an enemy to fight for whatever reason. But I couldn't achieve anything if I got caught up in his drama for no reason.

We can't be sure what the outcome will be if we fight Circus right now, and even if we win the fight, we still don't know what will happen as long as there is a 'him’ who wants to adjust the situation behind us. So for now, it was best to hide your body.

“You're going to disappear from both eyes. ”

“Yes. In addition to Circus' reactions, we should be able to see his reaction to use us." ”

“Not a bad idea. It's the best way to get the hidden enemy out. ”

“You saw it right. ”

“But is there anything I can do to help? ”

Lord Dovern asked with a curious look on his face. It seemed almost all the plans and approximate arrangements had been made. However, he wondered what he could do to go in and help.

“I do.”

“Tell me. ”

“As I said before, the power they can wield is probably not enough for just the two of us. That's why we also need reinforcements. ”

“I see. If we're going to fight the organization itself, we're going to need all the strength we can get." ”

“Yes, we think so too. So we're mobilizing separately, gathering forces. ”

“Hmm, but? ”

“We've got quite a lot of lords' consent now. But we're going to dive into the future. As planned, at least a year should go by. When that happens, they can't trust us. We need someone who can give us a solid faith so that they can wait for us without wavering. ”

“So you want me to do it? ”

“That's right. I want you to be a spiritual center for the power we've created. ”

The Duke of Dorbon is troubled for a moment. When Lycaen told me about Circus, he was already determined to help. However, one thing caught my mind was that it was more burdensome than I thought.

But the decision had already been made as I had originally decided. There was nothing to worry about.

The Lord Dobbon nods his head as he decides.

“I don't know if someone like me can play such an important role, but let me help you as far as I can. ”

“Thank you!”

“Yes, what can I do? ”

“Someone's doing it, so join us and talk to the lords. ”

“Got it.”

“You fool! ”

Crohan's face twists in fury. In front of Crohan, Rowan crouches on the ground, trembling.

“I'm sorry! ”

“I thought you said you were sorry was the end of it! ”

“It's not like that! That's how strong he is! ”

Rowan's face was filled with horror and horror.

More than 200 elite members of the organization were deployed. I've arranged for the Clemenfolk to assist me there to make sure it's done. However, the result was extinction.

I couldn't believe it. If enough warriors and Clemenfolk come at you all at once, you'll have a hard time coping with yourself. And extinction.
