Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 9. Vermouth's Conspiracy (2)

Suddenly, you hear noises coming from the falling trees and beyond the forest.

“Ugh!"

A groaning comes from the mouth of Earl Poldenbine. The noise, of course, was the sound of the enemy moving. The problem is that the sound is getting away. In other words, the retreat of the enemies that Earl Poldenbine was worried about began.

Moreover, it was split in two and was moving.

“What do I do? ”

I haven't been able to confirm precisely, but there are definitely fewer hostiles than here. However, the battle in Mount Route has now been sufficiently impactful.

"Do you divide and conquer? ’

Even if you divide the troops into half, it is not large enough to be crushed by the enemy. However, Earl Poldenbine was unable to make his decision.

It was because we could not determine the intent of the enemy. Being dragged without knowing the enemy's intentions is absolutely forbidden in combat. Then the conclusion was the same as the result.

However, Earl Poldenbine was still unable to make a decision. It was a big deal if the Circus army, which was set free after only one of them, bypassed and aimed behind them.

What do we do? ’

Earl Poldenbine's expression becomes urgent. Now was not the time to worry.

“Split up and pursue the enemy! ”

Earl Poldenbine, who was unable to give up both of them, had no choice but to make that decision.

Unidentifiable marriage war on the pia. However, Pluta, in Creotes' hands, pierces the enemy's neck without a single scratch.

I do not intend to leave the dark blood scent hanging from the tip of my nose that will even cause dizziness. But Creontes had already completely ignored all the stimuli from the outside.

In Pluta's blade, a red azimuth was blooming, not the original oracle. You only draw as much energy as you need to not waste your strength.

Shhh!

Creepy talk rises from behind Creotes' back. But Criontes turns quickly, without even a hint of panic.

“Heeheeheeheehee!”

At that moment, the scream that struck Creontes in the ear wasn't very appropriate for the battle. And it was Armingsod that fell to the ground powerlessly.

The enemy who was swinging Armingsford towards Creontes stumbled without my knowledge and lost the sword in his hand.

Creontes, who was bitten red with the blood of his opponent, was no longer the creature of this world. Enemies froze as soon as they saw a human figure with a wire projecting only a lifeline from their eyes.

But being a frightened soldier wasn't the enemy.

The blade to Orthod slashes the neck of the enemy so lightly. I didn't hear a creepy disconnect when I used to cut human bones. Only a very light friction resonates for a moment.

Paaaaaaaah!

Blood gushes from the throat, leaving the body of the enemy intact. However, Pluta's blade was still as clean as a speck of blood.

It is so contrary to the owner who is covered in blood. But even more bizarre and frightening was the appearance of Criontes. The strange scene where a human being is holding a white sword was good enough.

“I don't think so! ”

A van full of urgency leaks out of Creontes' mouth as he examines the situation.

He was slaughtering countless enemies, but the situation was not so favorable.

Even if he was a master and the knights of dusk were also skillful beyond Expert, he could not rule out the victory of the 70,000-year battle together.

Moreover, if the number of 70,000 filled the long, deep valley of the vast Route Mountain, then even more so.

More precisely, it wasn't Mount Route where they were. Mount Route and the valley to the north, the slopes to the left and to the north, and the forest above.

The Callament Mountains, famously rough, were large enough to be called the backbone of the continent, and the area occupied by each mountain was enormous. That's why we were able to get 70,000 troops into the valley between the two mountains.

After all, the battlefield is that wide, so even a master couldn't lead the battle properly.

As if Creonites had made up his mind for a moment, he shouted at the scattered knights.

“Knights, follow me! ”

At the same time as you shout, Creontes starts running toward the top of the mountain along the gap in the valley.

“Ahhhh!”

With a shout, more than a dozen hostiles stood in the way of Creontes, but Pluta did not tolerate those who stood in the way of Creontes.

Uahhhhhh!

On top of the blood flowing along the valley where the slopes meet, Pluta's bloodstream is added.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The rush of Creontes, like a mighty cavalry charge, was nothing.

Creontes jumps to the end of the valley, quickly cutting off the obstacles. Later, the knights of dusk also arrived at the end of the valley.

After Creontes, the end of the valley is a dead end. The steep slopes were unprepared, so I couldn't go up the slopes. In other words, the way back to Creontes is blocked.

Creonites turns back, confirming it. What lay before my eyes was a dizzy valley of sighing and screaming everywhere.

“Phew!”

With a big breath, Creontes exclaims with all his might.

“The emperor is here! Take the Emperor!”

The Emperor's cry echoes through the valley. And as soon as I heard the shout, the knights of twilight realized the emperor's intentions and cried out, "Blow your throat out!"

“The emperor is at the end of the valley! ”

“There will be a great reward for the capture of the Emperor! ”

Even in this situation, the knights of Dusk used evil without hesitation, knowing that they were not some stupid emperor after all.

"These!"

Criontes smiles unconsciously. Despite the situation and knowing the reason, I couldn't help but feel the urge to run and hit the knights' backs. Of course, now was never the time.

However, the emperor finally made a commitment.

I'll see you guys when it's over! ’

Then I remembered the look on the emperor's face.

When did I become so emotional? ’

I could easily ignore it if it was in the past. No matter how much he valued his authority, he remained cool enough to ignore anything, depending on the circumstances.

"Shit, it's him! ’

The moment Creontes once again remembers Lycaen and makes an impression, the whole valley changes.

“Waaaahhhh!”

“Take him! Take the Emperor! ”

“Kill him!”

Enemies scream loudly from everywhere, rushing towards the end of the valley.

Criotes, along with Lycaen, Caith and Earl Poldenbine, were among the central figures of this war. It was a point of concern for the Imperial Army, particularly occupying more than half of the Allied forces. If such an emperor dies, he will be able to completely demoralize the enemy and gain a perfect advantage.

Therefore, it was only natural that the enemy would come towards the Emperor.

And the emperor who saw him smiled coldly.

It was not an easy task to control the turbulent flow of middle heat. However, controlling the flow in only one direction was not that difficult.

Criontes has been a decoy of his own to control the chaos of chaos.

“Everyone, wake up! ”

The Knights of Dusk take a quick breath in the voice of Criotes. They had an accurate understanding of the emperor's intentions.

Given the nature of Cryontes, it is clear that it will charge back towards the incoming enemy. At that time, they had to become imperial guards.

“Waaaahhhh!”

And another kind of scream rang out.

This time, the Allied forces shouted. You rush towards the rear of the enemy attacking the Emperor.

All of the second-degree soldiers were Bran Kingdom soldiers, but they were desperately trying to protect the Emperor because they knew that if the Emperor died, they too would be in danger.

Qajik!

Battle X in the hands of an Allied Soldier breaks the back of the enemy's head.

Wudang Tang!

As the enemy descends the slopes, the slopes begin to roll down as Battle X is in his head.

“Oh, oh, oh! ”

A soldier wielding a Battle X pulls the handle in panic, but he rarely misses. The thought of rolling down the slopes with the corpse as we go along this path flashes in the soldier's head. Then all you have to do is put Battle X out of your hands. But the moment I came to think of that, the soldier was already rolling along the slopes, drawn to his Battle X.

“Ugh!”

The world turned upside down. The faster things in sight began to spin, the heavier the pain that was pounding the soldier's entire body doubled.

“Rrrrgh!”

The soldiers of the other Circus troops who were going ahead began to roll in turn along the slopes.

Kuaang!

When we finally reached the bottom of the valley, the soldier who wielded the Battle X wasn't already alive. And the men of Circus, who were dragged into it, were also all bent to death.

Kwajijijik!

And then there was a rough kick.

It's common to get trampled underfoot in combat.

The problem is that the current location is in a steep valley.
