Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 3. Surprise (3)

Damn it!

“Ugh!”

The knights' desperate shouts erupted into the Yi Dong Province. Suddenly, the bottom of my foot turned into an ice sheet.

Whoo-hoo!

Suddenly, the knights who slipped on their feet curled up in a tumult.

Meanwhile, Anton stands side by side with Julia.

“Let's wrap it up! ”

“You should have done it sooner! ”

The moment they exchanged words loudly with each other, their hands reached out simultaneously.

Glug, glug!

This time it was fire. As soon as Yulia turned the traditional bottom and sprinkled the oil she had stored in it, Anton fried a dung fire on it.

Standing on a fiery fire dressed in full iron armor is a hell of death heat. The moment the armor that is wrapped around the body becomes hot, it becomes a situation similar to carrying the whole body with the pharynx.

Normal fire would take time to do that, but if it was a fire that caused as much heat as possible by magic, it was a quick matter.

“Shhhhh!”

Knights gallop to the ground in agony. And Anton and Julia were on the ground, leaping over the flames.

At the end of the hall was Earl Pavaroise's room.

Glug-ug-ug!

A square window pierced throughout the building, with a thin, red cane waving its tongue around. Above the massive building, cloudy grey smoke is relentlessly rising into the sky.

“Fire!”

A frightening scream erupted from everywhere.

“Help me! ”

A man pours out of the door on the first floor, which is still burning.

“You did this! ”

One of them, a man in a knight's uniform, blew his brains out as he burst into the air. In the hands of such a knight, there is a long sword that has been sharpened in a sheer manner.

And where the knight swung his longsword, a group of men stood side-by-side. Specifically, the men surrounded the entire building with fire and distance.

Shhh! Phew!

Suddenly, a cold wave of waves pierced the knight's vision.

The knight suddenly loses his strength, plummeting back into place without taking a few more steps.

“They started the fire! ”

“Kill him!”

Soldiers and other knights rush out behind the knight. However, no matter where you fly, you only slump with blood over the longsword of the men surrounding the arrows and buildings.

But there was something strange about it. It was a point of giving way as if it were natural for those who did not draw their weapons and did not come forward. It was the exact opposite of bringing death to them without a word.

Men surrounding the building with a line of fierce energy as if they were messengers. Their identity was a coalition of five mercenaries.

Julian, the leader of the League, looks up at the sky behind the Federation.

‘It's time……. ’

Julian's face reveals a sense of urgency as he habitually touches the hilt of the sword.

When the hell did you get out? ’

The building now surrounded by five mercenary unions was the fortress of Bird of Rudas in the south-central part of Bren's kingdom. And the one they were waiting for, of course, was Bird of Rudas.

‘Is there another secret passageway...? ’

A sinister thought flashed through Julian's mind. The building in front of me was already filled with cloudy smoke. If he'd stayed in there, he would've suffocated.

However, unless he was a fool to sit and wait to die, Baron Rudas must have slipped out through the secret passageway. And if it had been as expected, Maven's mercenaries would have sent a signal at the exit of that secret passageway.

However, since there was still no signal, Julian had no choice but to think about the second secret passageway.

It was then.

Peek-a-boo!

A loud noise rises in the sky from far behind. I turned my head in haste, and there was a flame floating high in the sky, crying. A flame that ignites the tip of an arrow with a flute on it.

And Julian's face crumpled miserably when he saw it.

“Damn it!”

If it goes up, it's a sign of success, if it goes up with a spark, it's a sign of failure.

“For some reason, I wanted to see every last one of them! ”

At the same time, Julian flies away, screaming. And the mercenaries surrounding the building started running behind Julian in unison, even though they didn't have any special orders, as if they had also seen the signal.

“That's why I didn't want to leave it to him! ”

In Julian's disgruntled, muttering head, Maven's face touches and passes by.

"Shit, that guy! ’

The five mercenaries who had just surrounded Rudas' resistance and Maven mercenaries who were waiting for Rudas at the secret passageway exit were all groups organized by Lycaen.

Lycaen has been secretly dispersing his troops across the continents as mercenaries. Meanwhile, as we prepare for the battle against Circus, we've brought them all together to the Kingdom of Bren.

A year ago, the mercenaries who had suddenly disappeared from all over the continent were the secret forces of Lycaen.

And they also went to the Caron Chamber of Commerce as Lycaen plummeted, and this time they returned to their original mercenaries as well.

I tasted his money too much! ’

Since Julian gathered at the behest of Ricaien a year ago, he didn't like Maven. It was because Maven's greedy eyes, like the cornerstone, seemed more like a merchant than a soldier, no matter how good.

A change in eyes means a change in mind. The task of entrusting those who no longer have the mind of a soldier was to embrace the enormous anxiety factor.

Nevertheless, he entrusted Maven's mercenaries with a secret passageway exit because his mercenaries were the largest. In case you didn't know, it was better to have a single group than a union of two or more groups. Of course, it was Maven who insisted. He was so desperate for a place where he could build the biggest ball.

And now the results are out in front of Julian.

“You fool! ”

Maven's complexion, which was being spilled from there intermittently, had already turned white with a split armor around her chest. There's too much blood. There's no hope anymore.

“H-help me...! ”

Maven heaves her trembling hands and squeezes. But Julian no longer looked at him.

You quickly move your eyes to determine the situation.

The bodies of Marven mercenaries and the Knights of Rudas are tangled. There were many bodies of mercenaries, but the bodies of knights were also similar.

The dense forest surrounding the entrance of the narrow secret passageway or surrounding the area was constrained from using horse transportation. In other words, Baron Rudas will be on his feet.

The feet of Bird of Rudas, who is more talented than a martyr, could not have gone far.

“Find the trail! ”

At the same time as Julian's cry, mercenaries scavenge the ground, spreading chaotically around him.

“North!”

As one mercenary's conviction bursts, the other cries out.

“There are traces to the east as well! ”

“Bucket?”

Given the urgency, it was an appropriate choice. But considering the numbers on this side, it didn't have much effect.

“Half to the east, the rest follow me! ”

At the same time the order is issued, Julian flies to the north.

I knew it!

Julian's expression fades slightly as he remains impatient. It was because I could see a few torches moving away from the forest.

And there was another reason for Julian's expression to sag. Though it was only momentary, something flashed red as it reflected into the torch's light.

It was not a ray of light. It was a reflection of jewelry and jewelry. And no knight would wear jewelry in such a situation. If you're not a knight in this situation, you can think either of your own people, Rudas, or his family.

The more powerful side will accompany the bird if the bucket is opened in an emergency situation. And he wouldn't have sent his family to the weak side.

There must be a bird of Rudas where the torch is.

At that time, the torches suddenly roared and swiftly turned off the torches. Maybe he heard them coming.

It's too late! ’

Julian exclaims to himself with a smile of contrition.

“Khhh!”

After a short while, the Terminal's scream echoes through the dark forest.

On the night that Anton's knights and Julian's mercenaries ambushed Earl Pavaroise and the writer Rudas, a similar event took place throughout the Brent Kingdom.

“Oh, what a bunch of idiots! ”

A harsh horse pops out of Rudia's mouth. However, those who needed to hear it had already become cold corpses on their territory.

“Phew!”

I breathed out a heavy sigh.

‘You got it right. ’

I tried to impress the warlock, but there was nothing I could do about what had already happened. As if they had been thoroughly prepared, they finished the work very quickly and systematically.

After the war, there were three kingdoms under Bren. As the territory grows, the total number of Lords in the Greater Capital of Bren Kingdom is approximately 250. Among them, the number of nobles surrounded by Circus was more than 80. But the attack had already begun when Rudia left the Empire for Bren, and when she entered the Kingdom, more than 30 lords had been killed.

It really happened fast. Even the attack point couldn't be locked down by the Middle East heating. Not to mention the east where the missing Empire troops came in, and things happened everywhere in the north, south and west.

The eastern hemisphere is occupied by 100,000 Emperor troops, one by one. There was an ambush somewhere else. Some were ambushed by knights, some by mercenaries, and some by surprise.
