Swordmaster Healer

Chapter 69 Stable (1)

The empire was in turmoil when the Emperor purged the Knights of the Brigades and allied himself with the Faction.

The knights laid down their swords and the other nobles raised their voices, but it was hard to stand up to the absolute power of the emperor.

Rowkel's men and allies have been purged without mercy, and the emperor has strengthened his power.

However, due to excessive purge, the empire began to decay from within. And finally, the name "Liberation Army" and the flag came into existence as well as the rebels.

There was a lot of progress compared to the past that was lacking to deal with a powerful empire but could not even disagree with it.

“Your Grace, it's time. ”

A man in a military uniform knocked on the door of the Marquis Fade's office, which was in charge of the commander of the Eastern Imperial Guard.

“I'm leaving now. ”

A voice that can hear the end behind the tree door. And after about five minutes, the door opens and the late Fade walks out with the attendants.

“The horses are ready. ”

“Fine. Lead the way. ”

Fade nods and smiles. He steps into the stable with the attendants.

“Are you sure you want to be alone? ”

The destination was one of the less secure outlaws within the Empire. So the deputy gives a worried look, but Fade shakes his head with a nonsense look.

“I am the sword of only 25 in the Empire. Who could threaten me? ”

“I'm sorry."

“There's nothing to be sorry about. ”

Fade rides on his horse, speaking coolly. I had to act in secret, so I went to the illegal place without the attendant accompanying me.

After a short trip, he arrives in a small outlawed city and takes a step to the promised place.

It was a luxury inn that did not match the atmosphere of the small city. An armed guard patrols the perimeter.

I wore shabby clothes to deceive my identity, but the guards did not stand in front of Fade because of the strength of my body.

Thanks to this, he steps into the luxury inn without interruption to the room he was promised to meet with the group.

‘301... …. ’

The third-floor corridor is controlled. Two armed men are leaning against the wall, pretending not to, but actually watching the stairs. Fade had a face with them.

“The erl awaits. ”

A man with a thick sword around his waist speaks in a small voice. Fade nods and opens the door to 301.

There were two men inside. One was dressed in a noble robe and the other in a uniform representing an Imperial Army.

A man in uniform had two swords hanging from his waist.

“Are you here?”

The man in the nobleman's robe gets up first and greets Fade. Fade nods and opens his mouth.

“It's been a while. Earl Alone.”

The nobles were Earl Alone. After Roquelle's purge, he was away from power, but still possessed immense wealth and has used it to secretly support the Liberation Army.

“Are there only three escorts? ”

"‘Winter Sword’ is not enough? ”

Winter sword, rifles. One of only 25 swords in the empire.

“Well, I wouldn't worry if I had my swordsman repulsive bird with me. There are very few people in the Empire who can stand against him. ”

“You speak too much to me. ”

The knight with two swords answers. Seeing him, Fade smiles faintly.

I liked the humility of the rifle. I believed him because his mouth was heavy and faithful.

“There's no need to be so modest. Birch of the repulse.”

Fade looks back at Alon as he finishes speaking.

“What is your current situation? ”

“The Liberation Army's morale has increased with the news that Rowkel's willful sword and apprentice were revealed. But as Count Fade knows, the Empire has deployed additional reinforcements. ”

Although the Liberation Army was larger than ever and the Royal Alliance was taking on a massive counterattack, the empire remained strong.

The deployment of additional suppression forces has told us that there is still room in the Empire.

“If we're sure that the White Devil is Rowkel's apprentice, we need to contact him as soon as possible. ”

Despite the fact that his existence was confirmed, the Liberation Army still did not like the situation.

It was Earl Alon and the Liberation Army chief's idea that he should contact Rowkel's disciples for more support.

Rowkel was a swordsman supported by many knights. Most were killed by the Emperor, but not many were not purged.

“Lord Irina of the Sword will change her mind if she hears of Rowkel's apprentice. ”

Erina, who was the head of the Magic Slaughter, was on Rowkel's side.

She was on Rowkel's side, but naturally resigned from office as allies formed with the Tribal Alliance and the Magic Killers were disbanded.

Since then, she's been spending her time in her hometown in vain like a man who has lost everything.

“I think so, too. ”

“I haven't been able to move because of the recent surveillance. The erl will have to find a way. ”

“I see. I'll find a way to contact the White Devil.“ ”

Fade nods and replies. My shoulders were heavy.

Russia seemed to stabilize as the majority of the remaining Imperial Party was subdued and the coalition council members were taken back from other areas except the Siberian Federal District.

However, the interior was rotting and a regime was attempting to change because Seong-jun, a Russian hero, was terrorized.

The ongoing investigation into Alexei's disappearance was no longer ongoing, as the current Russian president had to, and Pyotr succeeded.

“Pyotr is one of us. It is still early in the regime and unstable, but it will definitely help Kang Sung-jun if he takes over Russia completely. ”

Jennifer cautiously said. He did not mention it directly, but asked if he could help Pyotr secure the Russian regime.

- I suggest you put your people on the bench with the Director of Federal Security.

Despite my concerns, Leishvald has come up with a good solution. As the regime changed, the Federal Security Commissioner's seat was vacated. If you sit on the side, you will be able to exert influence.

Since Seong-jun has taken control of Russia's military forces, the president's authority would be greatly undermined if he reached the Federal Security Agency.

‘Only Hanoff...' ’

Alexei, who led everything, was agitated and tortured to death, but Hanoff was spared.

In return for saving his life, he imprinted a 'faithful rune’ and sat down as the head of the Federal Security Commission, and a great servant was born.

The Russians wanted to take over, but they had no one to sit on.

“Very well. I'll help you. ”

“Thank you."

“But there are conditions. ”

“Tell me anything. ”

Jennifer said, I didn't think the United States would be able to get Seong-jun's help for free.

“I'd like to place my man in the position of head of the Russian Federation Security. ”

“It's not that hard. But did he have someone he deserved? ”

She nods happily. Giving up the job was the number of cases expected in the United States.

“Yes, in the United States, all I have to do is promise to appoint someone to the head of the Federal Security Service. ”

“Even if I bring in the homeless, I'll give you the head of the Federation's security." ”

“What does the United States mean? ”

I asked him if he had authority.

“Now I have all the power. You can document it.”

“Very well.”

Seong-jun called Zero and finished preparing to document the appointment. The conversation was documented. The last agreement was established for two people to sign.

“I'll pass it on.”

When Jennifer left, Seong-jun went down to the dungeon with Han Seok and Zero. Hanoff is still in agony there, tied to a chair.

“Rise.”

Zeros speaks Russian. Seeing that, Seong-jun thought that the magic of translating was really convenient.

“Wake him up.”

“I understand.”

Hanoff didn't wake up, and Seong-jun instructed Zeros to wake him up in frustration. Zeros used light shock magic.

“Hehe!”

Hanov regained consciousness after being struck by a magical shock.

“Please, torture me! ”

Zeros comes into view, terrified of waking up. He poured out a cry of cries close to his cries.

He was afraid of torture. I saw Alexei stand beside me, despite little torture because I had been framed.

He was also a Federal Security Agent, so he could see how lethal and painful Alexei's torture was.

“I have a proposition for you. ”

“I'll do anything! So please, the terrible torture I did to Alexei...! Have mercy!”

Hanoff was more cooperative than expected. Zeros tortures Alexei right next to him, making a big difference.

Seong-jun looked at Zero. It was annoying, so I asked you to explain about the 'Rune of Allegiance’. Since Zeros was using interpreter magic anyway, Seong-jun told me it was his turn to deliver.

“Calm down and listen to me. Hanoff.”

Zeros said in a overwhelming atmosphere. He nodded and began to explain the ‘Rune of Allegiance’ and 'Transaction’. It took about 5 minutes for the description to complete.

“I will respect your choice, but if you refuse the deal, hell awaits. I just want you to know that. ”

“I will! You may imprint on a 'Rune of Loyalty’ or something! I'll be a slave!”

Even if the answer had been fixed from the beginning, I was not hesitant enough. Since the problem was resolved without any hassle, Seong-jun nodded with a satisfactory expression.

“Proceed.”

Zeros branded Hanoff as a 'Rune of Loyalty’. With his consent, the work was straightforward.

This made Hanoff a faithful ‘knight’ of Sungjun.

“I'll do my best to be loyal. ”

After the brand of the 'rune’ was finished, Hanov's gaze at Seongjun changed. Seong-jun was amazed at the effect of the 'Rune of Loyalty’ on the remarkable change.

I felt like I knew why even the Empire had forbidden me.

“From now on, you will follow my instructions. ”

Seong-jun lowered his voice. Hanoff nods and opens his mouth.

“I won't let you down. ”

“Good.”

Seong-jun smiled. Then he got Zeros to release Hanoff.

“You'll be surprised in the United States, but since you've signed a contract, there shouldn't be any problem. ”

“Because I'm here, you won't be able to resist. ”

I felt confident in my voice.
