The Imperial Third Knights were riding in unison.
Horseback riding on wet mountain roads is not much of a recommendation.
A giddy beginner is more likely to chew his tongue or fall asleep.
However, the finely trained horses in the imperial court dodged the rocks or tree roots well, and the knights' riding skills were excellent.
Lenox in the lead shouts.
“Are you sure you saw her? ”
“I'm sure of it! I saw it... when I was picking raspberries on the slopes... Knng! ”
Eric yells excitedly, making sure his face is lit up.
Lenox taps the corner of the knife sack at his waist.
“There must be a woman nearby! We must find it today and capture it! ”
The strength and rations of the knights have also reached their limit for several days.
Lenox navigates through the skillfully selected terrain and drives a horse.
The knights followed the Master.
Immediately, I discovered the impossible to emit a bright light.
Lenox checks the fire from the horse.
The dimming flame met the damp air and was fading away.
“There was a man just now. ”
The members also stepped down from the horse and examined the impossible.
A member points to the floor and says,
“The footprints are still here! ”
The dirt road is damp because it still hasn't dried up.
The footsteps were clearly marked.
“It seems that the woman we're after has joined another party. It won't be long now that you're walking. Should we pursue?”
It was time for Lenox to open his mouth.
Suddenly, the dark surroundings lit up.
The hot air grazes your cheeks, and the dim heat clouds your vision.
“Fire!”
“Shit. No way! ”
Fire.
It really was a wildfire.
Soon after the rain stopped, the mountains were wet and damp.
Even if the oil is forcibly pumped, the fire goes out soon because of the moisture.
But now, the mountain fires are burning like wildfire.
As the burning trees fall, the wildfires spread.
“Master! We need orders! ”
“There's a Spirit Man over there. ”
“Yes?”
“No, you must retreat. ”
Lenox speaks, and the knights open their eyes.
“What are you going to do, Master? ”
“It is reckless for large numbers of people to continue to pursue in these wildfires. I can pierce this fire if I'm alone. I'll meet you at the bottom of the mountain in the morning. ”
The knights burst into tears.
“I can't believe the Knights left you alone! I'll go, too! ”
“That's right! We're with you! ”
“As soon as I surrender myself to the sword, I will die loyal to the empire! ”
But Lenox shakes his head.
The director looked at the member who said the last word.
“I know your loyalty better than anyone. But don't just say you're going to die loyal to the Empire. ”
“Yes?”
“Someday you will know. ”
The members clasp their hands together.
Some cried as they gripped it.
But all but Lenox retreated backwards, avoiding the flames.
Lenox climbs on his horse and strokes the mane of the beast.
Like the Imperial Knight Master said, Lenox was a fine horse that grew up in the Imperial Stable, but he didn't even know what kind of horse it was.
However, this moment took everything on his horse.
“Let's go.”
Lenox drives his horse through the flames.
Horses blur, hoofing and hurtling like a storm.
Fire-bearing branches and bushes obstruct the path.
Lenox pulls out a longsword that lowers his lower back to activate the skill.
“Bless the wind on the sword. ”
Top-Quality Sword Skill.
A stormy blade eliminates obstacles at a fierce rate.
The wind pressure around the edge of the blade was not enough to extinguish the fierce flame, so it burned away the branches.
By the time the ends of his hair were almost burnt off, Lenox had barely been able to climb beyond the flames.
“Cough! Cough! ”
Lenox spits out a cough and looks around.
I saw people out there.
Lenox was briefly distinguished.
A woman with thin burns, an expressionless young man, a familiar middle-aged woman somewhere, a girl on fire, and a blonde-haired woman.
‘Is that... is that Henryk? ’
Lenox narrows his eyes and quickly shakes his head.
The worker of the Empress who retired as a stiff incurable disease could not have been in this place.
Unlike everyone else, the girl with the fire and the blonde woman were clearly seen.
"The Girl on Fire must be the Spirit who set the forest on fire. Then the other woman... ’
Despite its distance, it was able to distinguish distinctively from the royal blonde.
The Doppelgänger of Princess Casipran.
It was the purpose of the mission I had been chasing.
Lenox is about to turn his horse to you.
A young man walked toward him.
The young man walked fearlessly and quickly, even though he saw himself running through the flames.
Uniquely, the staff and sword were both dressed at the same time at the waist.
Lenox yells at the young man with a sword.
“Stand down! I am Lenox Hirmagen, leader of the Imperial Third Knights! Due to the imperial mission, I will be transporting that woman over there.... ”
“Shut up.”
The young man's answer was concise.
Lenox shouts as if warning.
“If you don't get out of the way now……. ”
“I told you to shut up. ”
The young man's voice was cold and low as if he were angry.
Lenox frowned.
“I don't know your name, but I'm sorry. ”
Lenox turns his horse to the man and draws his sword.
As soon as the order came through, anyone who saw the Doppelgänger of the Empress had to be killed.
At full speed, Lenox swings his sword.
Screech-!
“Hii-ying-!"
Lenox's front foot is severed.
Lenox fell from his saddle, but calmly practiced his fallout to reduce the damage.
After stepping on the dirt, Lenox looks at the man with his eyes wide open.
The blow was supposed to have been from the exact trajectory of his throat.
But the man was unharmed.
His unexpected movements seem to have dodged Lenox's blade.
Lenox is surprised, but warns without warning.
“Cheonan doesn't follow you twice. ”
However, there was no denying that I was suspicious.
Was it really a coincidence?
An unknown awareness changed Lenox's attitude.
He holds the scabbard in his hand.
“Bless the wind on the sword. ”
A violent wind swept through the Knight Captain's blade.
A storm of swords strikes the target.
But the man walked away.
Not so fast.
You read the trajectory of the bitter blade, move lightly, and avoid it.
Even with a deep breath, the tip of the blade only cracks the air.
The man stares at himself quietly, without a drop of blood.
At that moment, Lenox loses his words and looks at the man.
“What the hell are you...? ”
“I don't have a second to waste on you. ”
Kang Yoon-soo pulled out his sword firmly.
His mind was only tied to another thought.
Lenox, on the other hand, is appalled.
It was a blade revealed by the moonlight.
Lenox was deceived by the flow of the blade without my knowledge.
A strange, sharp and beautiful trajectory only known to those who have mastered the sword.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, an intense shock hit his head.
Lenox's vision turned black in an instant.
* * *
Kang Yoon-soo stunned the Imperial Knight Leader with a knife.
Lenox was purely overwhelmed by a sword, even though the level difference would have been great.
Despite the overwhelming facts, Kang Yoon-soo returns to the group.
Kang Yoon-soo approached the Doppelgänger of the Empress.
“Let's talk. ”
Kang Yoon-soo took her to a remote place.
Far enough away from Shanette and Henryk, he opens his mouth.
“How do you know I came back? ”
“Someone inside me answered. ”
“Who's that? ”
“I don't know exactly. There's something locked inside me that I can't get out of. I nicknamed him" The White Shadow. "The White Shadow demands that you deliver this message now. ”
Her next words shook Kang Yoon-soo.
“Your life is the last thousand times. He said no more regrets. ”
This is the moment.
In the thousand years of life, there was a mutation that had never been seen before.
* * *
“Master! Are you all right? ”
Lenox senses someone shaking his shoulder.
When I opened my eyes, one of the members looked worried.
The knights were here last night, just as they fainted.
“Shame on you.”
Lenox gets up, shakes his head, and takes a swig of the barrel that his crew gave him.
Looking at the makeup, the members looked curious, but no one dared open their mouth.
Erik asks.
“Did you miss that target? ”
The crew tries to shoot Eric.
Everyone was curious, but I endured the straightforward question for the enlightened mastery.
But Lenox shakes his hand and says,
“It's not Eric's fault. It was my fault. I lost them. ”
“I can't believe you missed that. Looks like last night's fire was worse than we thought. ”
“No, there was a disaster worse than a fire. ”
“Yes?”
Lenox gazes at the hilt of his blade.
My fingertips were trembling significantly.
Seeing it last night felt unrealistic, even as part of a dream.
But the memory was remarkably clear.
I remember his sword very well.
Lenox's heart flutters.
His body's capabilities were overwhelmingly strong.
The battle would not have been so unilateral even if he had not been sold his soul by a wondrous sword.
But the sword was certainly surprising.
It seems that the knowledge of the sword you have learned so far has changed.
‘I haven't seen a sword like that since the First Knight Captain. ’
Lenox rises from his seat.
He points to Eric and says,
“Do you mind if I borrow your horse? ”
Eric looks impressed and salutes vigorously.
“Once upon a time, yes! ”
“I'm sorry, but get in the back of the other knights. ”
Lenox climbs on his horse and grabs his belt.
The crew nods and climbs back on their horses.
Lenox shouts loudly.
“They can't have gone far! We're going after the target again! The target has joined the others. Beware of faceless travelers, especially! ”
