A mess.
This could not be the most appropriate expression to describe the horrific disaster unfolding before my eyes.
However, I think it would be more accurate to call this disaster a ‘man-made disaster’.
Because it couldn’t have been a disaster that took the form of a human being.
But now, no one cared about this.
That makes sense.
“Go, Your Majesty!!”
“Save my lord…!”
“Excuse me, what about the servants in the mansion?”
“There are no servants in the mansion! So just make sure Your Majesty is safe!”
“Oh, I understand.”
The leader of Tristan.
The life or death of Marquis Jenimia was unclear.
Miraculously, the only thing that was destroyed by the attack by the assailants was the mansion where the Marquis was staying.
Also, the Marquis has a sensitive sense of smell, so he cannot sleep well if there are people around him at night. So, he sends out all the servants from the mansion at night.
Fortunately, there were no casualties, and now if only the Marquis were safe…!
“Go, Your Majesty is safe!”
“Wow!!”
In fact, it was as good as no damage, and the Marquis’ servants had to let out a roar of joy.
Because they confirmed that their master was safe.
…but.
“Surround the enemy!”
“… Ugh!”
“Everyone, don’t come near me! Even if you surround me, do it from afar! If you come near, you’ll die!”
There is no change to the fact that the situation is still one in which the enemy has not retreated.
The soldiers formed a circle and surrounded the attackers.
But no one dared approach.
… knock knock.
A man looking a little tired, with blood dripping from his face.
It seemed like now might be the perfect opportunity, but no one let their guard down or underestimated it.
“Where did such a monster come from…?”
A monster who broke through the main gate of the Marquis’ residence, no, destroyed it from the front.
Most of the soldiers have already seen what he did, and even if they haven’t seen it, they have heard about it from their comrades, so they don’t dare to look down on the man.
On the contrary, it was scary and terrifying.
Even though they were called elite soldiers, not everyone could be brave.
In such a situation.
“─What kind of unprincipled person would dare attack Tristan!”
They came.
“Hey, it’s the Knights! The Knights are here!!”
The soldiers finally felt relieved as they saw these men appear, waving flags with the ‘Red Eagle’ on them.
Those who arrived were knights with the power of a hundred men against one man.
-Red Blood Knights.
It was a knightly order with a long tradition and prestige, known not only within the kingdom but also in other countries, and now that Tristan was attacked, every single knight showed up.
Woohoo!
It is said that just the gathering of ten knights can change the course of a battle.
It may be an exaggeration, but it must mean that the strength of each individual knight is truly amazing.
But I can assure you that if the members of the Red Eagle Knights are up to the task, they will be able to turn the tide of battle.
They were incomparably stronger than any other knightly order, and were considered comparable to the Silver Lion Knights during their ‘heyday’ when they were directly commanded by the warlord.
Everyone pretends not to know, but in reality, except for Galahad and Lionel, the king is the strongest.
Unlike the silver lions who have become increasingly weak, the red eagles are still in their prime.
There are as many as one hundred such red-blooded people.
The spirit and anger of a hundred men was enough to shake the ground and create a hot mist.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A force like a fire demon!
The overwhelming power displayed by the monster was so magnificent that it made the soldiers forget about it.
and.
“-This is it, oh. What the hell is this while I was sleeping soundly, oh.”
The moment ‘he’ appeared, the soldiers even shed tears.
[The Invincible Archer] is over there.
“dismissal!!”
“Oh, don’t yell. You know I have sensitive ears.”
A middle-aged man with red hair, no, a handsome man who looked to be in his mid-30s at most, walked out of the collapsed mansion.
It may seem like the word “handsome” is appropriate for a man over 50, but he is a handsome man who would not look out of place on a theater stage right away.
However, he was not just a handsome man.
Hwaaaaak!
With every step he takes, he exudes an extraordinary presence, and the giant horned bow that infinitely heightens that presence exudes a powerful and oppressive aura.
A pair of arches that appear larger than the average woman’s height.
It was a bow made from the horn of a monster called the Minotaur.
It was also a bow that symbolized the owner of the Marquis Tristan family, which produced great archers and divine archers for generations.
“Young man. You know what I mean when I say you’re after Tristan, or rather me, right?”
-Jenimia Rivalin de Tristan.
The Knight of the Bow, who was the head of the Tristan family at the time and also served as the commander of the Knights of the Red Eagle, gave him a calm but spirited rebuke.
“… … .”
Was he nervous because a hundred knights and the Marquis of Gemini appeared?
There was no answer from him, and Marquis Jenimia simply shook his head, as if he wasn’t expecting an answer.
“My lord, as soon as you give the order, I will bring that bastard’s head to you!”
Could it be that the rude attitude of the villain irritated the loyal knights?
They were angry and wanted orders given immediately.
So that you can take the enemy’s supply.
But the Marquis shook his head.
“They don’t seem to be a gang. Although they did attack, no one was hurt.”
“That’s just by chance….”
“Do you really think so?”
“… … .”
… it is an undeniable fact.
As the Marquis said, that monster was strong.
Didn’t they also watch from afar?
His brute strength allowed him to throw down an iron door.
But no one with that much power has yet killed anyone.
Although the Marquis’ mansion was destroyed, there were no casualties.
This was a story that could not be dismissed as a miracle or a coincidence.
In reality.
“You saved my life, that’s it. There is no humiliation like this.”
It also meant that he had deliberately kept me alive.
“And that weirdo knew. That I was the only one in the mansion.”
“Well, then that’s even more annoying… .”
“No. On the contrary, it’s funny. Do you see? Exactly the area opposite my bedroom collapsed.”
“… … .”
“If this is a coincidence or luck, I should go find the Holy Grail right now, haha!”
“… … .”
The Holy Grail, the treasure of Avalon.
It was a treasure that existed only in legends, and I knew that trying to find it was absurd.
So the Marquis’ words were this.
That weirdo had no intention of killing anyone from the beginning.
Even though there were opportunities to kill soldiers and even the Marquis.
That’s why.
“Identify yourself and surrender. Then I will guarantee your life.”
The Marquis showed tolerance.
There was a glimpse of mercy in willingness to forgive the other person-….
“Hey, you handsome old man. Then there’s no point in me deliberately not firing the shot towards your bedroom, right?”
“… … … .”
… … A handsome old man.
The Marquis was astonished at the title he had never heard before in his life, and the knights were no exception.
But he is still unstoppable.
“I picked a fight with you today. I picked a fight to get you to fight! Then you can either make me kneel or kill me, and I’ll fight with all my might. But you can’t forgive me, right? Then there’s no point in me coming all this way!”
“…her.”
It’s so shameless that it’s ridiculous.
What is this guy?
They are trying to save me, but they are urging me to kill me.
The Marquis had met many different types of people in his nearly half-century of life, but this was a first for him.
The Marquis was speechless and let out a hollow laugh, but he paid it no mind and pointed his finger at the knights.
“You are the same. I have threatened and insulted your master. I am a scoundrel who dared to invade the Marquis’ residence in the middle of the night, and I have destroyed his property. I have also destroyed the mansion where he lives. What are you doing in front of such a man? Why don’t you knights draw your swords right away-!”
Kuung!
The man stamped his foot.
A jolt that causes the ground to shake.
It was an expression of the man’s displeasure and anger.
The consideration shown by the Marquis,
…as if he didn’t know anything about the dignity or nobility of the nobility.
“Is that because he still lacks justification? Then I will give you justification. I am going to strike your master’s beautiful face from now on. Stop it, because if you don’t stop it, your master’s face will not be beautiful anymore today.”
Crack!
“this guy…!”
“Go, how dare you!”
“Insult His Majesty! You bastard! Have you ever seen such a man destined for hellfire!”
Sreung!
Chae-Ang!
wickedness!
Swords and spears are drawn.
The momentum of the knights’ blades, filled with murderous intent, was tremendous, and even if the Marquis ordered them to stop, he could not stop them.
If they leave alone those who insult their masters, then they should abandon the name of knight.
BANG!!!
The Red Eagle Knights, a hundred knights, charged toward a man.
To take the head of the man who insulted their master.
And only then did he provoke the hundred knights.
“Yes, this is correct.”
Satisfied, he threw himself into the waves of murderous intent that were pressing upon him.
* * *
“Form a large-scale hunting formation for the great monsters!”
No matter how angry they were, the knights were never stupid.
On the contrary, the knights were so angry that their minds became infinitely calm, and they immediately formed a hunting formation for the man.
I have already witnessed the man’s brute strength.
Not making the mistake of underestimating his power, they attempted to hunt the man down with all their might.
They were forming a large formation to hunt large monsters, and the hundred knights moved in an orderly manner as if they were a single organism.
pressure.
defense.
attack.
supporter.
Each person carries out their assigned role thoroughly.
Kuuung!
Kwajik!
Hwaaaaak!
The momentum of the hundred knights, no, the power and fighting spirit that cannot be explained by mere momentum.
It was a force more violent and brutal than the pressure exerted by an army of ten thousand men, and it was not something that an individual could dare to oppose.
This was the first step, the pressure.
No matter how huge the monster is, it will not be able to escape the net of speculative power they emit.
No monster had ever escaped this formation, and the knights were determined to strike it down in one fell swoop.
……but.
“…under!”
This was a story about when the opponent was a simple monster, and it wasn’t common sense that even applied to him.
He, Lee Han, burst into laughter.
Even though it’s not a situation that should be funny at all.
There are a hundred knights who are trying to kill him, and the skills of those hundred knights are also extraordinary.
Even though their individual skills may not be champion level, they feel like true veterans.
In front of the fighting spirit that those people were emitting, Lee Han felt as if his whole body would be crushed at any moment, and in fact, even his joints were creaking.
… But for some reason, I felt a sense of discomfort from this pressure.
And realize.
He had already felt a similar sense of pressure and momentum.
‘… Is it the same? No, maybe even stronger?’
Ghost King.
It’s equal to or greater than the pressure that the guy known as the Troll King put out.
‘It’s fun… .’
This is what makes the world so funny.
I thought all knights were as weak as the Silver Lions, but wasn’t there a knight order that was so healthy that it could even stand up to the Demon King?
That’s why my whole body feels tingly.
A sense of crisis where you even feel the fear of death, thinking that if you let your guard down, you will die.
But ironically, the reason I can endure it is because I have already experienced the monster called the Demon King.
Because he had experience, he could endure, and because he did not become lazy after going through it, but worked hard, and because he did not waste even a single day, he was able to overcome the net that weighed him down.
Knock knock!
I was willing to tear it apart.
“Wha, what kind of monster is that!”
“Blow the window out!!”
“Swing your swords all at once… …!!”
It was Lee Han’s resistance that struck the net of speculative power like a hammer and struck it again, finally showing a momentum that matched their spirit, and the Red Eagles were confused.
… However, if the Red Eagles had heard Lee Han’s true intentions, they might have felt shock and humiliation beyond bewilderment.
he is-.
‘If I don’t want my child to have a grudge, I should end it without killing him, right?’
No killing.
I will subdue and end it without killing anyone.
Lee Han-i, with his own determination to raise the difficulty of the already high battle to the extreme level.
Pfft!
I kicked my feet towards the ’empty sky’.
