Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

It was then.

Shoot me!

Suddenly, the sound of snow swelling echoes and something is rushing this way.

Two reindeer sledges attract them.

The reindeer is a species that the Blissen tribe that used to live in the snow used to capture wild reindeer and take advantage of it. It is commonly called Blissen reindeer.

The Blissen used it primarily as a means of transportation, of various sorts. Since one or two were dragged around by two or three people, eight were dragged around and the sled was so large that it could be used as a wagon or more than 20 people could ride at a time. Sometimes he saddled this reindeer instead of riding it.

The Blissen have been wiped out by the Empire, and Lycaen is using it now. Precisely the means of transportation secretly arranged through the Caron Merchant Guild.

“There you are!”

The two soldiers on the sled were scouts sent by Lycaen. When they run, it means the enemy is here.

Lycaen nods loudly.

“Battle stations! ”

Chapter 7. War (1)

“Rats are running. ”

Rowan smiles contemptuously. At the end of Rowan's gaze, a reindeer sled was slipping, leaving a pair of long marks in the snow.

“The arrogant one. ”

Crohan speaks in a loud voice.

Suddenly, one side of his mouth pops up. Thinking about the letter Lycaen sent me, I can't help but smile.

The man who had been hiding for a year suddenly came out of nowhere and sent a letter. However, I could only think that the contents of the letter were childish. ‘Let's fight. "What? Where in the world are you writing such obvious and provocative words?

Rowan cautiously says to Crohan, who is alone in his thoughts.

“Do you really need to come to this? It might be dangerous, so you should leave it to me and watch from a safe place. ”

But Crohan shakes his head.

“I have to go myself. ”

“But blind arrows are that hard to avoid. ”

He's nothing. But strangely, he scratched my nerves.

He was the one who had to abandon the old FerGrande Mountains sanctuary. He survived even after attacking properly. He suddenly scraped his nerves for a year because he was hiding his longevity. He suddenly appeared to be devastated by the provocation.

If you put them separately, you can just ignore them, but if you list them all at once, you won't like them very much. Besides, he's ruining the plan. Strangely, it was difficult to move on to the next plan without dealing with him.

I thought I'd have to see him for myself.

I had to look him straight in the face and clearly engrave the face of the man dying of pain, even though I wanted to die. Otherwise, I didn't think the aftertaste would be good.

Besides, if you were planning on coming out now, you wouldn't have come all the way here.

Crohan gives Rowan your undivided attention.

“Are you trying to teach me? ”

“Th-that's not it. It seems dangerous.... ”

“Was it because you didn't know the subject? Worry is for those who are weaker than themselves. Or do you think your power outranks mine? ”

“How dare I! ”

“Then don't say it anymore. ”

“I understand.”

As Rowan leans forward, Crohan drives slowly.

Pow, pow, pow.

Along with the sound of clamping at the heels of the horse, Crohan comes forward, and Rowan, Rudia, and Aaron rush after him. Since then, more than 2,000 circus horsemen and 3,000 warriors followed slowly.

“What's their position? ”

Lydia points to the nocturnal hill in front of her.

“Yes, I'm marching near the forest beyond that hill. ”

Crohan suddenly stops walking and asks.

“Are you trying to run into a frontal conflict in the snow? ”

It is a form of combat that has long since disappeared, sending a challenge in advance, and the two forces facing each other in the plains and storming into battle. The battle of the plains is not lost, but there is no more such fair battle.

“It seems that's the intention.... ”

“He likes the classics quite a bit. ”

This is absurd, but you send out a challenge and this time you have fought in a duel format. I could only think of it as a pretty classic method.

“But they could be digging a trap. Be careful for now……. ”

“I suppose, but the more fun he gets from doing it, the more he gets. ”

The expression on Crohan's face is very uncomfortable, as if he didn't actually think so. I didn't like it so much that it bothered me in a way I never thought of.

‘He can't get away with it. ’

After a little more time, if I think about what is happening now, I might not understand why I did something so childish and classic.

Maybe I was still thinking a little bit about it. But I didn't need to understand it right now. The fact that we had to get rid of him was paramount.

“This is our chance to take them down once and for all. ”

Suddenly, dark red energy rises around Crohan speaking nonchalantly.

Hee-hee-hee!

Crohan's horse suddenly groans in agony, shaking his head to the left and to the right. This is due to the distress of Crohan's energy.

“Suck!”

At the same time, I was embarrassed by the faces of Lydia, Rowan and Aaron who were riding horses surrounded by him. It's because Crohan has so rarely exerted his power externally.

“Bury every last one of them in this snowfield. ”

“Yes, Master! ”

It was then.

Uahhhhhh!

Suddenly, the sound of snowflakes echoes from all around.

“Hmm!"

As I paused, I quickly looked everywhere, and I saw a puzzling look on Rudia's face. The cloudy blizzards rose and completely blocked their sight.

It was a blizzard that blanketed and blazed 5,000 Circus priests who held their form around Crohan.

“What a childish tactic! ”

The blizzard was a reindeer sled. Dozens of reindeer sleds race relentlessly, drawing huge circles around the circus army. Behind the reindeer sled were bundles of roughly intertwined branches. It was placed for the purpose of sweeping away snow piled up on the floor.

“Be careful!”

A reflexive warning erupts from Rudia's mouth.

It may be childish, as Crohan said, but this artificial blizzard obscured their vision.

If an arrow flies through that blizzard, I have no choice but to take heavy damage. In this situation, I had to prepare for a surprise attack without moving.

“Stay alert, everyone! ”

Lydia's concern was not the storm.

Shoot him!

Sharp corrosiveness amid the harsh sound of the snow breeze. And the arrows protrude from the blizzard in front of them.

Without time to prepare, it was never enough to stop an arrow that appeared to protrude suddenly from obscured vision.

Puck! Puck!

“Shhh!”

The horrific sound of arrowheads digging through flesh and the screams of the terminals erupted, and the snow rapidly turned into a rubble.

“Ahhhh!”

A scourge erupts from Crohan's mouth, who was at the forefront. At the same time, the azimuth, which was rising around Crohan's body, suddenly soared like bamboo into the air.

Suddenly, the two hands that were lightly lifted up toward the sky fell violently down. The work that came out of Crohan's mouth with him.

“Die!”

A red mass that had risen into the air suddenly spread to tens and hundreds of trunks, drawing a long parabola around it.

Guava light!

A violent sound echoes through the blizzard, which is not visible to the naked eye, and screams erupt in between.

“We're going through! ”

After Crohan's calm voice, Rowan's resounding cry erupts.

“Run!”

At the same time, the warriors who were riding the horse in the lead started to rush forward.

Pabababak!

The snow that was piled up was dug into the hoof of a wild horse, and a deeper blizzard rose.

“Suck!”

Immediately after breaking through the blizzard, Ludia's mouth bursts with confusion.

I was so nervous that I thought I was preparing for an ambush beyond the blizzard, but I didn't see anything. I can only see an army out there in the middle of a small forest.
