Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“However…. ”

Caith shakes his head in excitement, blurring his words. It was still hard for him to understand.

“I can't help it. There's no way to save someone who's already gone. ”

“Who doesn't know that? I can't help but feel uncomfortable. You left because of what we did. ”

“He's sitting there with a shy voice that doesn't fit him well. In that case, you will be responsible for all the deaths in this war. ”

“Well, anyway! ”

“Don't even think about it. You have to think about what you can do. ”

Lycaen looks as if he's talking about it with a moody look on his face, and Caith still looks a little discontent.

But, technically, Lycaen was not wrong. What would you have done if it had flowed like that?

At that time, Lycaen, the leading man, slowly pulls the rope. As the horse riding the Lycaen stops for a light tour, Lycaen looks forward.

“Finally. ”

A blue mountain full of snow. It was Route Mountain, a stalk of the elusive Kellerman Mountains.

The emperor said in an indifferent voice.

“I never thought I'd attack there. ”

I couldn't see it yet, but I knew exactly where I was talking.

Route acidity.

There has never been a battle since the castle was settled, but it was a difficult place to attack. At the time, I felt a strange emotion about the fact that I had to attack a place that was a solid barrier to protect the Imperial Court.

Lycaen, who was next to me, said:

“If it collapses this time, we'll have to rebuild that, too. ”

He smiles and talks as if he had already washed away his feelings about Duke Robyn's death.

A light of vigilance hovers over the face of the emperor who confirmed it, briefly but briefly. The death of Duke Robyn was quite a burden on their minds, given the reaction of Earl Caith or Poldenbine. I could tell just by the look of Lycaen who had not spoken a word in the last three days. But now, seeing this expressionless expression, I completely emptied his mind.

"Just in time"? ’

It doesn't make sense that they felt the moment they arrived at Mount Route, which will be battleground in time. In other words, I had to see that I had cleared my mind of all the heavy things that had happened since I was soon on the battlefield.

The emperor made another analogy about it. Riccianne was able to control her emotions whenever she needed to. That is, if he wanted to, he could have told about the death of the Duke of Robyn in a day or an hour.

‘I hate to admit it, but I'm pretty sure he's scary. ’

Being able to control your emotions with reason means that you can make cold and efficient decisions anytime, anywhere. Dealing with such a person was not a difficult task after all. I'm holding hands now, but Lycaen is more likely to turn against each other when this is over. As chryontes, I had no choice but to be vigilant.

But I didn't have to express that feeling now.

“From now on, I'm going to lead the way. ”

Lycaen nods at the emperor's words.

“Perhaps you'd know better, since it's your property. Take care of yourself. ”

As Lycaen slowly steps back, Criotes orders you to go to Fabentus.

“Keep the whole mountain completely under our control. ”

“I understand!”

“That's odd. ”

Creonites tilts his head with a strange look. Then he glanced at Lycaen. Likewise, Lika nods loudly.

“That's definitely weird. ”

Earl Caith, Earl Poldenbine, and Poventus who brought the report were also thinking the same.

“Ambushing over Tverin Canyon and blocking the way up to the canyon.... ”

Lycaen receives Lycaon's words.

“I want to make a death sentence.... ”

And then there was the report from Forventus.

“Strangely enough, the armor of the soldiers on the cliffs of the canyon belonged to the former kingdom of Delos. ”

The faces of the four people who heard the report hardened at the same time.

“The kingdom of Delos? ”

Poventus nods at Criotes' question.

“That's right.”

Lycaen suddenly smiled unpleasantly.

“A ghost that never dies comes out at this hour. ”

Everyone's gaze converged on Lycaen. And the emperor questioned them all.

“Do you know something? ”

“I think I know. ”

“You think you know? ”

“There's a ridiculous old man. ”

“Who are you talking about? ”

“Duke Goron. ”

Chapter 8. Brawl (1)

At an angle close to the vertical, he emitted a white light, receiving a sunbeam of downward arrowheads.

Yuck!

The bow is bent enough to break, and the tense protests that are pulled apart feel tense.

Not one.

The archers stretch from end to end along the cliff facing each other.

That's weird.

Duke Goron strikes with a flashing sword in his right hand and tries to suppress the anxiety of the raid.

Now all you have to do is lower the raised sword, and the long stretches of bows will rain down arrows towards the army passing through the canyon.

However, Duke Goron was unable to lower his sword. I thought about it again, but something was wrong.

You have no idea. ’

I was on an ambush, but I didn't think I'd be spotted. It was because the enemy couldn't help but see such a great place for an ambush.

Moreover, the number of troops gathered on both cliffs was 15,000. No matter how high the cliff was, and no matter how breathtaking it was, I could feel it.

No matter how much I think about it, it was clear that they knew this side existed. That's why it was even stranger to see what was unfolding at the bottom of the canyon.

The march in a long line of footsteps is completely unusual. Without even giving it a look up.

There's something! ’

An ominous sensation that touches the brain, and a tumultuous warning from the battle senses that have passed through the battlefield for many years.

In the meantime, the one who was walking at the forefront suddenly reaches close to the canyon's exit. We're almost out of the high cliffs to the left and to the right.

Just a little bit!

The desperate Duke Goron has decided to take a moment. As soon as the lead leaves the canyon, Bermurk's forces ambush them from the left and right exit of the canyon. For now, it seemed safe to keep an eye on the fight.

"Oops!"

However, the person who was walking in the lead suddenly stopped and took a deep breath. And as if he had no intention of moving forward, he stood there for a long time.

What are you trying to do? ’

Duke Goron stares at the leading man, confident that his senses were not wrong.

If the man's reason for stopping was to expedite Duke Goron, he certainly achieved his goal.

Go! Go! ’

Duke Goron was repressing Longsword with his utmost patience for the urge to swing him down immediately.

At that time, the leading man took off the helmet he was wearing on his head to wipe off his sweat.

“Huff!”

At the same time, the Duke of Goron's eyes grow as large as a plate. Shimmering blonde hair in a deep shaded canyon.

With that kind of hair, there was only one Rica from Duke Goron's memory. As soon as that came to mind, Duke Goron's striving string of rationality snapped.

“Earl Frocus! ”

As he shouts, Duke Goron's longsword swings violently from top to bottom.

Shoot me!

A rainy arrow rains down through the narrow canyon.

“That guy! ”

At the same time, a violent cry erupts from Duke Goron's mouth. At the moment of the arrow, Lycaen suddenly raised her head and looked at herself.

The moment the eyes met, Duke Goron's heart became even more urgent.

“What are you doing?! Roll the rocks.Wizards, move! ”

Arrows could be dodged or thrown away. But a big rock was impossible.

Whoo-hoo!

The chunks of rock, embracing enormous pressure, settle down towards the bottom of the chasm.

Kung, Kung, Kung!

You climb up the canyon, echoing the sound of a rock falling from below. And another noise that climbs up the canyon with sound.

Tak, Tadak, Tadak!

Light noise that resonates regularly in your earlobes.

Duke Goron's gaze is directed toward a reflective echo of noise.

“Oh, my God! ”

A frightening cry erupts from the duc's mouth. It was because I saw Lycaen floating up the cliff.

As you sneak up and kick the cliff to the right, Lycaen's new stature rises to a slant. As you reach the left cliff, you climb up the ramp again, kicking the left cliff. The moment he repeated the process several times, Lycaen had already climbed more than half of the cliff.

It was possible because the distance between the cliffs was 5 meters down and the top was about 3 meters. Of course, not just anyone could do it.
