Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 7. Duke of Robyn (2)

An enormous number of troops are gathering on the cliffs of Tverin.

The number of troops is approximately 15,000.

I don't understand why troops usually gather in places they don't use well as ambushes, but something even weirder happened. It was armor worn by soldiers. There was a sparkly symbol engraved on the chest.

The symbol of flame extending up and down three directions was now a symbol of the ruined royal family of Delos.

“Who?”

Bermurk asks in a loud voice. The person who answered was Barrock standing beside him.

“Duke Helvane Goron. A commander of the Derron Royal Army, who attacked Seronen Fortress in Bren Kingdom at the beginning of the Conquest War. ”

“That reminds me. I seem to remember disappearing during the war. ”

It was quite famous when Duke Goron, one of the two general commanders who attacked Ser 'Oren Fortress, disappeared on the battlefield with his troops. At the time of the Conquest War, Bermurk was remembering the appearance of Earl Eigen of the Brent Kingdom.

“Why did he come out of nowhere? An ambush in Tverin Canyon? ”

The report that Vermouth just heard came as no surprise. Duke Goron, who disappeared during the Conquest War, said he was preparing an ambush on top of Tverin Canyon with his troops.

I did something crazy that no one could think of that would suddenly disappear in the middle of the war, and I didn't understand why I had to come out here and do it.

“I don't know for sure, but I think they're after someone on their way to Mount Route. ”

“Of course.”

Bermurk himself and his troops have no business going to Tverin Canyon, so it is best to wait for Lycaen's troops to pass through there.

“But why there? The road to the top of the cliff isn't far away.If it gets blocked, there won't be anywhere to run. ”

Bermurk frowns and asks. It was foolish to ambush ten times as many troops as they thought.

“Our scouts report that the entrance to the top of the cliff has been completely blocked. ”

“Hmm?"

It reminds me of Vermouth's indifferent face for the first time.

“Block the entrance? ”

“Yes, it's a drainage camp. ”

“Hmm, I don't know who you're aiming at, but you have quite a grudge. ”

“It looks that way. ”

“Hmm……. How many days until they reach Mount Route? ”

“They say we have about ten days left. ”

“Ten days.... ”

You smile at Vermouth. And he opened his mouth carefully, not knowing that the smile was because he thought the same thing.

“I'll go and see him. ”

“Good idea. ”

A little while ago, a silver cup filled with amber flew into the air. As the alcohol in it dissipates into the air, the silver cup flies to exactly where it wants to go.

Boom, boom!

A silver cup echoes through the floor and rolls into the ditch.

“How dare you put that filthy face in front of me! ”

The place where the flying silver cup hit was the forehead of Duke Robyn, who was trapped and forced to kneel.

Along the Duke of Robyn's jawline, covered in what remained of the silver glass, a red blood stem flows with the wine.

However, Duke Robyn was bleeding from the silver cup that flew in from ambush, and his back was straightened.

“I will be punished for the crimes of the warden! ”

The king's expression distorted in the appearance of Duke Robain speaking with an unfinished face. And I didn't think any more. No, I was right to think there was no problem at all.

“Shut up! I don't want to hear a word out of that filthy mouth! Hey, get him out there and put a bullet in his head! ”

The guards at the entrance to the Great War rush to the end of the horse.

Tupperware!

Suddenly, a strange noise echoes through the battle. At the same time, the guards draw their swords with an urgent look on their faces. The rope tied around the Duke of Robyn breaks apart.

To be precise, the Duke of Lobain gave his strength and cut off the ropes that were tied to him. It didn't make sense to tie the master-class Duke of Robyn to a rope.

“Hey, you! ”

The furious king stood up and shouted. Meanwhile, the guards and guards rush towards Duke Robyn.

“Knng!”

Wudang!

Contrary to the terrifying thunderbolt, everyone quickly fell to the ground. But Duke Robyn was also unharmed. He has a large sword on his side and shoulder thighs and is bleeding out.

“Your Majesty.”

Duke Robyn summoned the king with a heavy voice, not caring much about the wounds inflicted on his body. Then he slowly walked towards the king. In the hands of Duke Robyn, you hear Longsword taken from one of the knights.

“Yes, what are you going to do! ”

The frightened king was crouching on the throne one day and trembling.

There was no one here to stop the Duke of Robyn. What if the Duke of Robyn had a longsword in his hand pointing towards him?

Those incompetent bastards! ’

The king was ruling over the guards lying around on the battlefield, wondering why he had not fled in advance. However, as the king's concerns were tilted, Duke Robyn stopped walking down the stairs towards the high altar with the king.

Then he slowly knelt down and said,

“Make your choice. ”

“What choice……! ”

“Will you come with me in peace? Or do you want to live in despair? ”

“Rude! What are you talking about?! ”

I could not find any authority in the appearance of the king crouching on the throne, turning his head and looking at the Duke of Lobain with his eyes turned away. However, Duke Robyn nods with his face still intact.

“Very well. I'll leave you to it, then. ”

A clear red line is drawn on the Duke of Lobain's neck as he fears the end of his words.

"I'm sorry, Lycaen! ’

Thick drops of sweat poured down the pan's forehead with deep wrinkles.

“Phew!”

With a light sigh, the man who stole the sweat from his cuffs was a big man in his 50s with gray hair.

There was no shade created by nature to avoid the scorching sun falling on a flat rock. If anything, it was a shade of cloth with a pole erected a little distance away. But the man chose to sit at the edge of the rock and stare down, rather than avoid the sun under the hood.

At the end of the rock was a fairly deep ridge, and a similar height cliff situated about three meters across the ridge.

And there was another young man sitting across from the cliff, looking down in a manly manner.

Suddenly, the man looked away at the young man across the street.

“Grain.”

The answer came back without delay.

“Yes, Father. ”

The man looking at his son who no longer had a bright face in the past, I suddenly felt sorry for Duke Goron's face.

“Won't you go down the mountain now? ”

But Grain shakes his head vigorously, as if there was no room for words.

“How can I escape where my son is safe when my father is on the battlefield? ”

“But it's too dangerous. ”

“It's okay, don't worry too much. We can win, and then we can go someplace in the countryside to relax. ”

“I hope so.... ”

Duke Goron expressionlessly speaks with a face he is not confident in. Grain's expression saddened him, but he said in a cheerful voice.

“Hey, Dad. What does Commander Goron in the Kingdom of Delos look like? Don't worry, we can beat him for sure! ”

The Duke's face is filled with lies. No, it's not just exhausting. She glitters, her eyes full of life.

Earl Frocus! ’

About a year ago, the Duke of Goron, who was coldly rejected by Lycaen, had to spend some time idle for quite some time.

He could not argue a single word against Lycaen. And to be indisputable was to admit that both his choices and his actions were wrong. And as a result, he had to deny himself.

The conflict between the self believing that he had made the right choice and the self denying himself pushed the Duke of Goron into a meaningless time. And I opened my eyes in the morning and closed my eyes at night, as if I had lost my existence.

After three months of such pain, Duke Goron finally came to a conclusion. And he got his target.

I'll kill Earl Frost! ’

If Earl Frost didn't deny himself, he had reached the abnormal conclusion that he no longer needed to deny himself. And that led to an obsession that eventually led to a trip here to Tverin Canyon.

Duke Goron slowly turns his head and looks back. You can see soldiers avoiding the sun under a lot of shade placed all over the place.

Together, the troops behind the Grain across the street were 15,000 troops.

With 30,000 troops first disappearing from Ser Onen Fortress, half of them are here.
