the heart of a lion (3)

at the same time

The tallest tower in the Albion Palace.

Piers Klagen, who pulled out Valtooth's sword, crashed several of the beasts attacking the palace in a single blow.

Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Shoooooooooooooo woo woooooooooo!

Boom boom!

Beyond the scattering dust of Masu, the appearance of the Capital Defense Corps across the river was revealed and repeatedly disappeared.

Through the overwhelmingly strengthened eye, Jebedi's circle covering the center of the Capital Defense University was vividly captured as if it were seen right in front of his nose.

The Tempus River Pierce, which separates the West Bank from the Middle East, did not disturb the eye.

Googung!

Gugugugugugugugung!

The school's internal determination, which was triggered in reverse, was suppressing countless attempts, preventing the complete opening of the gate of Manemoshine.

Inside the circle, which endured a great deal of load, was a terrible eter's cohesion, and the situation inside was not visible.

However, Pierce, the same sodmaster, could detect a glimpse of a bright scarlet sword in Jebedy's circle.

A desperate struggle is taking place in front of the door of Manemoshine.

a roaring voice

Boom boom.

Again, under his feet, the stationmaster of Ether shook.

Tadius Yetskel, the head of the Capital Defense Corps' wizard, was the fifth sound to restart the royal family.

The dean protects the gate, and the head of the group protects the palace.

It is also the first time in a thousand years that such set rules have actually been observed in practice.

Pierce did not feel any sense of intoxication, even though he seemed to be living again in the age of legend.

Nice!

Boom!

After issuing an urgent order and dispatching the Capital Defense Corps to the east, Pierce and his deputy climbed the high ground of the palace.

One Pierce had the same dignity as the rest of the Capital Guard, so it was enough to protect the palace.

However, it was not possible to reach the east side of Gungseong Fortress in the West Bank. This will only deal with the beast, who has already been completely released out of the door.

Pierce, who had been rubbing the end of his mustache nervously, constantly penetrated the beasts of death and waited for the answer of the message sent to the prince.

"Is the prince trying to send someone to school only after the door is open? I'm afraid someone's not a low bloodline, so when things get worse, you lose your judgment.’

As the wait grew longer, the ether from his hand began to get rough like a desert sandstorm.

"Magicness is a healing magic, and Rosa Fehite is old. Those two aren't enough to keep all the doors shut. I left it to see if it was a royal guard established by force. What are you going to use it for? It'll only take one move, tsk.'

The unknown nervousness seemed to heat Pierce's veins. His eyes betrayed his will and kept turning to the other side of the river.

A strange sense of deja vivified the heart.

It seems that one day he had been so impatient. I thought Rosa Fehite could not be left like that.

But why? Why do you think you're the former driver?

The tangled thoughts were interrupted by the prospect of approaching the tower.

Click, click.

The entrance to the tower opened much later than expected.

Shoot! Boom!

Pierce, who scattered the beasts of the century, which were coming with a series of swords flying, opened his mouth with the sword that the hideous sword had not disappeared.

Without looking back, I could fully understand the identity of the uninvited guest.

It was Tasserton Tristen.

"I didn't call your attention. Where did my deputy go?"

"I have been forced to stay in the Guard because I have committed a crime of profanity that cannot be overlooked even in an emergency."

"Ha, Duke. Your position and your peerage are irrelevant. If you think you'll be safe from that kind of abuse of authority to my deputy.!”

Tasserton cut off Pierce's horse, which was trying to hold me back in position. He had no intention of scuffling with the head of the Capital Defense Corps.

"That's not what's important right now. Your Highness himself ordered, Ser Pierce. Requests for reinforcements to the Capital Defense University have been accepted. Please move to the Capital Defense School immediately."

"What?"

Puzzled!

A grayish-brown sword sprang aggressively from the end of Pierce's sword.

giggle.

The momentum melted the left chest joint of Tasserton Tristane.

It was an intentional 'mistake'.

And the mistake didn't stir up Tasserton at all.

"From the time of his shift with Sir Pierce, the garrison work at the top of the palace is transferred to the Guard. Move immediately."

"You dare give me orders?! This is my territory, and you don't deserve to give me orders. Move your knights who trained you to tell the count."

Despite the face-to-face insult with no honorifics or anything, Tasserton maintained an expression of silence.

The duke stopped as if he were standing guard without even a foot check. It was a mountain of silence.

Pierce was the only one running wild.

"Didn't you hear me? Go and remind your crown prince. It is the chief of the Capital Defense Corps who is responsible for protecting the palace, and the king's deputy can't control it!"

"I grew up in a change, so I don't know the details of the center. But I know the most important principles. That the Lord's orders must be fulfilled. Now I'm treating you with the utmost courtesy."

The supreme commander-in-chief of the military, police and knights was the king.

In wartime, the acting king was the same as the king; disobedience to orders had to pay the price.

This is what Tasserton meant.

"I'm waiting for you to carry out your orders and save face, instead of taking you out of office right now and rescuing you based on disobedience to orders."’

It was a gross insult.

Poof!

Fascinating.

Farting.

The sword that Pierce could not endure flew to the right this time.

The hideous grayish glow tore Tasserton's shoulder and completely crushed the silk.

It was clearly an attack of murder.

Cuckoo!

Pierce's sword shattered a "nobleman in the sky" that was falling behind the duke's back.

Pierce's spirits did not weaken even though he had already used it several times, so the beast was scattered with fine dust, leaving no mana stone left.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Tasserton remained immovable amid the dust of the death.

No matter how Pierce himself provokes or attacks, Tasserton will not search for the commander of the Capital Defense Corps without the prince's order.

"You terrible little dog."

Pierce, who went to Addeuk, said, pressing his anger.

"So it doesn't matter if the city's youth is burned to ashes while you're holding out?"

"I'm just following your orders."

The unyielding answer with a hard northern accent was extremely calm.

I meant it wholeheartedly.

The man in front of his eyes was not testing his guts or fighting off Pierce.

Everything but the crown prince's orders means nothing to this madman.

The Swordmaster, who was raising his spirits, and the Ma-soo's attack, which seemed to burn the royal road of a nation, were just like the sound of a bug to him.

Even if the world was destroyed right now, it was impossible to achieve its intention against this crazy man without the prince's order.

Pierce hid his consternation behind his distorted face.

Is that human?’

It's not just a human-shaped bisexual?

The navy blue eyes, not a speck of light, look at the burning Lundane in a way that is no different from when it is not burning.

The destruction of the capital was outside the order, and it did not even cause a stir in his mind.

At this moment.

Tasserton did not even pull out a sword, but Pierce was pushed back.

Pierce's sword end faced the floor helplessly. Some realization chilled his fighting spirit.

Pierce Klagen pursued self-interest.

I wanted to be respected.

He wielded an unjust influence.

He changed his power as if he were in the direction of power.

Even with all those virtues, this country and its capital did not mean that it would not even blink an eye when it was burned in front of its face.

Wouldn't his power survive only when the state exists?

But Tasserton was different from Pierce himself.

He didn't even have the least sense of duty to protect this city.

Tasserton asked again in a low voice.

"Do you want to fulfill your order to reduce the count?"

Pierce's inner thoughts were complicated.

Resistance and revenge are only possible when the capital remains.

Pierce could not completely ignore the door of Manemosine, who was emitting increasingly strong ether pressure behind his back.

Between the city and the state who want to protect, and the only one who wants to protect, the latter must win the former.

Pierce did not answer. Just, he bumped his bleeding shoulder roughly and went down the tower.

Tasserton drew the sword toward the sky, not clinging to Pierce's petty quarrels.

a slurring sound

Let's do it!

Kku-kku-kung! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Pierce had no choice but to look back unknowingly.

The sight between the doors of the tower, which was about to close, was shocking.

The Circle of Advancement was less powerful than the usual real-time attack.

However, Tasserton seemed to have nothing to do with his conventional wisdom, and fired a series of powerful swordsmen into the sky that could not be described in writing.

A massive Ether explosion covered the palace's sky.

It is the frustration of the loser that comes to Pierce's face, which has been hardened while looking back.

At a moment when the wreckage of Masu, which had been broken, was scattered in the strong wind, only the late summer sky returned to the sky of the palace.

Pierce himself was also a strong prosecutor who had few opponents in the country, so he could know more clearly.

Tasserton's achievement was well ahead of Pierce himself.

'How can a child who is only 30 years old get on that level?'

I heard rumors in the territory of Kishion that he did this and that. But soon it calmed down and was just a rumor.

'Was it true that the rumor that he had broken the wall with just a few knives?"’

For generations, the articles of the Capital Defense Corps were taken by the nation's most powerful man.

Pierce's status was not threatened even after losing his popularity and being embroiled in controversy because he was a sodmaster who beat Rosa Fehite.

But now, the glory of the knight, who has achieved the highest achievement as a warrior, is being shattered with the beast.

The immediate issue was not the issue.

If you ever run into the author after this....

In the near future, Pierce's biggest asset, the king's most powerful weapon, will lose its value.

The anxiety that has been growing since the time when the prince's guard was squeezed out to prevent the formation of the royal guard, is now trying to oust Pierce from the palace with substance.

Meanwhile

With such enormous power, Tasserton just waited for a new round of applause within his own test, without a single sign of conceit or pride.

with the calmness of the watch dog

Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Kku-kku-kung!

Kugung!

When the earlier attack was neutralized, a group of beasts circled around the palace.

Even while Tasserton stood still, the beasts narrowly brushed outside the scope of Tasserton's test, spitting out a ruthless magic fire like a gill of hell.

Boom boom!

Flaming!

The outside of the palace's outer voice burned at a stroke.

While watching the fire of the fire, Tasserton did not move a step and only defended the palace.

Pierce, who was using abusive language, jumped down the tower at once.

a whirring

To blame.

As he stepped down from the outer wall of the tower, Pierce could not stop thinking while running on the roof of the connected corridor.

Tasserton is the prince's dog.

He is not the one who judges things with his own head.

He meant the prince's will.

I had a hunch that the intention of the prince's order was not just a calculation to increase the merit of the guards by kicking Pierce himself out to protect the school.
