Although a battle took place, surprisingly little attention was paid to it.
In the case of the soldiers, they only stood guard outside the tunnel and did not approach the tunnel, so they did not care whether they fought or died.
In the case of the prisoners, it wasn’t a big topic of discussion because many of them collapsed from exhaustion, and above all, it was probably because the battle didn’t last more than two minutes.
However, no one in this place took their opponents lightly or took the match lightly, even though it was a match that lasted no more than two minutes.
“Skilled workmanship. He may be suspicious, but he is clearly a knight from a prestigious family with solid skills.”
“I agree with your opinion, senior. He was a spine-chilling expert. … It would be unbelievable for a senior to subdue someone like that.”
“…You’re like a monster.”
Roy Bant’s skills were ‘real’.
At least compared to the half-dead ones that were prevalent in Baek Eun Sa, they were at least twice as strong.
So much so that none of them were confident that they could subdue him so easily.
but.
“Ro, Sir Roy! W-what have you done…! What kind of outrageous actions have you suddenly taken against such a weak Sir Roy! Even though Britain has fallen, how could you, as a knight, do such a cowardly thing…! Don’t you know shame!”
“… You, how did you really become a general?”
As such, the nobleman who was once a general could not even see the skills of the people next to him, let alone their offensive and defensive battles.
They gave him a cold, stern look, and Mustang was about to shout even louder, seemingly enraged.
“You… .”
Bam!
“Ugh… ?!”
dump.
“It’s too noisy.”
The Mustang fainted after being lightly hit on the back of the head, and finally the surroundings became quiet.
It was Jordan’s proper prescription, and Jake shook his head.
“Are you becoming like that guy?”
“Haha, I think this method is the fastest.”
“… Oh my, I’m starting to resemble things I shouldn’t.”
“No, you’re growing up well, what is it?”
“… … Where did you get hurt?”
“None, hehe.”
“…Is that so?”
Lee Han, who had come close to me without me noticing, was in perfect condition.
It’s as if they hadn’t fought but had just gone for a walk.
Are you saying that even someone as skilled as me can’t even make a single mistake?
‘I guessed it, but this guy. His skills have improved beyond comparison to half a year ago.’
I had guessed it from seeing him easily subdue 135 silver lions, but his actual strength was on a whole other level.
Even half a year ago, he was definitely a troll, but now… .
‘Even the ogre needs to give it a try.’
Jake stuck out his tongue, saying that now there was no one in the Silver Lion who could stand against that vicious man except for Sir Baltar.
* * *
Fortunately, Roy Bant did not die.
As expected, a knight who does one-person work has considerable physical ability.
The back of his head was cracked and he suffered a severe concussion, so I was worried that he might lose some of his memory, but it wasn’t a big problem.
The only thing that matters is that you are ‘alive’.
dump!
He dragged Roy Bant to a dark place where there were hardly any people, put him down, and took a vial of medicine out of his bosom.
Profit.
As soon as the contents were poured out, Roy Bant’s wound began to heal.
“Potion? It’s not like they’re giving you a bottle or medicine… .”
“What do I have to say to save this guy?”
“… So you were really on the brink of death.”
Well, it wouldn’t have been strange if his head had exploded, but it’s actually surprising that he didn’t end up on the brink of death.
“Senior. But is this guy really a member of the Blood Crusade?”
“Even if that’s not the case, he’s definitely a suspicious guy.”
“That’s it….”
It was clear that he was definitely a suspicious guy.
The fact that the guy who came into the tunnel didn’t have his speculation method sealed, and the fact that he was trying to approach them secretly were also different.
also….
“I wonder if it was he who sent this incompetent general to us.”
It’s also like trying to see their own liver.
It’s unlikely that Mustang spoke to them on his own accord.
Perhaps Roy Bant was behind the scenes trying to create an excuse to have a conversation with them?
“Maybe they figured that since we’re knights of Britain, they could use us in some way.”
Most of the prisoners trapped in the tunnels recently are from Britain.
From soldiers to knights, most of the people with considerable military power were gathered in the tunnel. Perhaps he thought he could quickly become friends with them.
“I wonder if friendship has any meaning in a tunnel.”
“That’s true.”
“Why are you nitpicking like that? No matter what country you go to, people tend to consider blood ties, regional ties, and school ties. That guy probably does the same thing. Don’t overthink it.”
“… That’s true too.”
“I wonder if it’s meaningful to come all the way here and discuss such things.”
“You know, there’s a guy who’s still talking about status while serving time in prison.”
“ah.”
“…Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“… … .”
Regardless of whether Aren’s face rotted away or not, Lee Han silently did his job.
Before Roy Bant woke up, he checked to make sure he didn’t have anything hidden in his clothes.
‘A guy like this is bound to have something to hide.’
As expected.
“What is this?”
I don’t know how they did it, but unlike the prison uniforms they were wearing, Roy Bant had pockets inside, and inside the pockets there were about five suspicious items.
A torn piece of paper, three elixirs that smelled suspicious, and an inverted cross.
Just looking at it, you could tell that it wasn’t a very positive item, especially the inverted cross.
“It cannot be anything other than that of an apostate who blasphemes against God.”
It was offensive to the devout believers.
Three people, excluding Lee Han, made the sign of the cross with their hands and recited Bible verses.
As if to prove their faith.
“Hmm… .”
Lee Han simply left the devout believers alone and examined the inverted cross.
He did not specifically discuss irreverence for God.
If you just look at it, you can see that it gives a certain ‘unnatural feeling’, so you can only observe it.
Then suddenly.
Poke.
“That’s not candy….”
“Candy doesn’t break that easily, sir.”
“You’re like a crazy monster…!”
He easily split the inverted cross in half.
It was as if a cookie had been cut in half, and Lee Han looked inside the inverted cross.
“This… is a magic stone?”
“What?”
“It seems like you mixed the exact same magic stones?”
“…Really?!”
Fine, sparkling grains from the broken part.
If you look closely, you can clearly see that the magic stone is coming from a monster that is emitting an aura that dazzles the eyes.
However.
“You’re just using the magic stone to make one inverted cross like this? It’s not like we have a ton of money… .”
The magic stone is a rare stone that appears only in one out of twenty monsters.
In human terms, it would be like a gallstone, and it also meant that it was a rare item that was quite difficult to obtain.
It’s a material that wizards and alchemists love, and it’s so damn expensive, but they use such an expensive material to make an inverted cross?
No matter how rich a person is, he or she wouldn’t do something so wasteful.
“… He’s crazy.”
“Hmm.”
“Or maybe these guys are so incredibly rich that they think magic stones are a joke. … So which is it?”
“Lee Han?”
For a moment, everyone was puzzled by his sudden remark.
Their eyes quickly widened as they realized that the person he was talking to was the fallen Roy Bant.
“… … .”
But despite their rising momentum, Roy Bant remains silent and motionless.
He appeared to be unconscious.
Okay then.
Phew!
Lee Han raised his leg without hesitation and aimed straight at Roy Bant’s head.
Kwaaang!
A dizzying stomp.
The ground was hollowed out, and the force was enough to shatter a human skull like a watermelon.
But fortunately.
“… He’s no different from a murderer. How can a knight be so cruel… .”
The bastard was barely able to avoid Lee Han’s feet and was gasping for breath in a corner.
If there had been even a slight delay in reaction, he would have died for sure.
I almost lost my life because I made a mistake while pretending to faint.
Lee Han laughed at the bastard’s criticism.
What did the guy who acted first say?
“Sneaky guys like you have to do it sincerely. How can I force you to play dead more? I can’t guarantee that you’ll wake up.”
“… … .”
“Speak, don’t stare.”
“… Ugh.”
Hurrruk!
Roy Bant flinched as he met Lee Han’s intense gaze.
The momentum was like a blazing flame, and the moment the heat engulfed his body, Roy Bant felt a heat he had never felt before in his life.
It was as if I was getting the illusion that my body was getting used to it.
Roy Bant admitted.
The opponent is someone stronger than he can dare to face.
Even if I can’t do it.
‘He is a champion. He represents the kingdom… .’
Knights who went beyond being the losers of a region and brought fame to the kingdom.
It must be an article of a level that is rare even in Britain.
Gulp.
Roy Bant rolled his eyes, sweating profusely.
He was constantly racking his brain to get through this situation safely, and he did just that… .
“… I will give you about half of the information I know. In return, you guarantee my survival and safety. And if you help me escape together, I will give you all the information without leaving anything out. By the way, the information I know will be quite good.”
“… … .”
“You guys, you must be knights of Pendragon, right? For a Briton, your skin is so beautiful, it’s like a Pendragon. Oh, except for you.”
“… … .”
“Anyway, this would be invaluable information for Pendragon as well. Of course, I know information that could even shake up the kingdom’s economy. So, unconditionally… .”
“-This kid doesn’t know his subject?”
Percussion.
Woodduduk!
“Kwaaaaah!”
Lee Han crushed the bastard’s collarbone.
As if I couldn’t stand hearing that crap anymore.
“Ugh!”
“Shut up.”
This time, a waxy, oh-so-gentle hand covered my face.
The palm, twice as large as a normal palm, covered Roy Bant’s face, and so on.
Woohoo!
“!!!”
It gave me a feeling of pressure that distorted my entire face.
However, Roy Bant was unable to even scream properly because his mouth was blocked, and this suffering continued for three minutes.
3 minutes. Some might say it’s an incredibly short time.
“Ugh! Ugh! Keuk! Keuk…!”
Roy Bant’s face looked as if it had been struck by the years.
A face that became haggard in an instant.
He had experienced extreme fear and agony, in which three minutes felt like three years.
“Do you, do you think you have the right to negotiate?”
Lee Han’s soft voice contained a ferocity like the growl of a wild beast.
anger.
He was feeling a burning anger.
It’s probably the first time I’ve been this angry since I caught the orderie.
At this moment, Lee Han was certain that this guy was a Blood Crusader or something, and an uncontrollable anger erupted.
Is this why you are so angry that the royal capital was attacked?
No, he is not that honest and just of a knight.
The reason he was so angry was.
“Did you guys think you could ‘threat my people’ and get away with it?”
His people.
It could be his students at the academy, or the owner of the bakery he frequents.
Or maybe he’s the owner of a butcher shop that provides meat and other items as a service at a cheap price.
People who accompany him in his daily life.
But these guys dared to ruin his ‘daily life’.
If this doesn’t make you angry, then what should you be angry about?
Negotiating on that topic?
… … It’s like adding oil to an already hot fire.
Phew! Phew!
Lee Han lightly struck Roy Bant’s body three times with his fist.
It’s not like it was priced, it’s just a pat on the back.
I thought it might be a joke, but Lee Han’s face was colder than ever and he had no intention of joking.
Woozijijik!!
“!!!?”
Suddenly, a strange noise spread from Roy Bant’s body.
The internal resonance inside the body was loud enough to be heard from outside, giving an idea of the level of pain.
Roy Bant was drooling without even being able to pass out from the pain that was engulfing him, but Lee Han did not stop the ‘torture’.
“This is probably the first time you’ve experienced this technique. It’s because I’ve poured my strength into my muscles and bones.”
When he was teaching [the sutra] to his disciples in Vulcan the day before, he taught the technique by directly injecting power into the body.
It was an advanced skill that only Lee Han, who had a deep understanding of the body, including muscles and bones, could do, and if it had been taught by someone other than Lee Han, nine out of ten people would have become disabled.
And this means.
“It’s going to hurt a lot. Quite a bit…”
It also meant that one could artificially cripple an opponent by channeling force into them.
-Division of ligaments and bones.
It was a brutal torture method that Lee Han had created on his own.
Don’t worry, you’ll just experience the pain of becoming disabled, but you won’t become truly disabled.
however.
“I don’t know, the longer the suffering continues, the more stupid I become.”
“!!… ?!… !”
“When you’re ready to open your mouth, tell me, and I’ll stop you then.”
“…!!!!”
“Do you plan on holding out any longer? Yeah, hold out as best you can.”
“!!?!!!”
“You bastard, let’s see who wins.”
No matter how you looked at it, Roy Bant was desperate to spit out all the information right away, but he couldn’t open his mouth.
─Because he still had his mouth covered with his palm.
But even when I met Roy Bant’s pained, desperate and urgent gaze.
“-You damn brat, why aren’t you opening your mouth?”
He just kept repeating the same thing.
