Episode 270. The Beginning of Revenge
The sound of Ethan slamming a large soldier into the wall caused soldiers scattered throughout the area to gather.
“T, this can’t be happening… … .”
Teinpro’s eyes trembled in confusion.
The number of people who turned the store upside down was only about ten, but the number of people gathered now was roughly over a hundred.
Moreover, their attire was different; many of them were wearing more elaborate weapons than the soldiers who had come to the store earlier.
“order…….”
“The entire Order is not here. There are only four knights among them. Oh, the vice-captain himself is here.”
“Vice-deputy manager!?”
There are several knight orders in the House of Drenne.
As it was a Twelve Star family, the level of the knights was extremely high, so if there was a knight among them who was appointed as a vice-captain, it could be said that he was of a considerable level.
Tainpro looked at the soldiers, surprised to hear that there was a vice-captain of the Knights. And he was able to find them right away.
There was someone who gave off such an intense aura that even a Tainpro with no knowledge of that field could tell just by looking at them.
It was Reric, the vice-captain of the 3rd Knights’ Division under the command of Marquis Dren.
Rerick turned his head to see a large soldier standing far away. Then he immediately drew his sword and approached Ethan.
“Schudlen.”
“yes.”
“Yerika, clean up the rest. Tie everything up and gather them in the central square.”
“all right.”
“Oh, I know this is presumptuous of you to ask, but there are too many opponents.
Teinpro, who mustered up his courage and charged at the soldiers.
But I didn’t know there would be this many soldiers.
On the other hand, it seemed like all Ethan had brought was two escorts.
If Prince Ethan Wickus had been hurt by this, it would have been a big problem. It was Ethan Wickus who had brought the Wickus Estate to its current position.
“Your Majesty, it’s okay! I will go and apologize.”
“Why are you apologizing?”
Ethan said.
“This is Wickus territory. It was they who invaded without permission.”
“Ha, but… … .”
Aren’t the intruders the Knights of the Twelve Star Clans?
“Where did that courage go from before?”
Ethan chuckled.
“Don’t worry. My escort is not weak.”
Shudlen confidently walked in front of Rerik, the vice-captain of the 3rd Knights’ Division under the command of Marquis Dren.
“her.”
Rerick looked at Shudlen.
A knightly order under the command of Marquis Drek, one of the Twelve Houses.
Although it is not considered the strongest of the 1st Knights, the 3rd Knights are an elite order of knights that can only enter if they have sufficient skills that are no less than those of other orders.
Rerick was an outstanding knight who had honed his skills for over 15 years among them and had risen to the position of vice-captain.
It was absurd to see the young and pale Shudlen confidently walking towards me like that.
“What are you?”
“I am Schudlen Mark, the direct escort of Lord Ethan Wickus. You are currently causing trouble within the Wickus territory without permission. By order of Lord Ethan Wickus.”
Schudlen said.
“Bow your head to the ground and apologize.”
“This insolent bastard!”
Rerick grabbed the sword he had drawn and stomped hard on the ground. The distance between him and Shudlen narrowed in an instant. Rerick swung his sword down from above, as if he was going to split it in two in one breath.
Shudlen was momentarily taken aback by Relic’s attack, which was much faster than expected.
At that moment when I thought I had to avoid it, my body reacted faster than I could judge.
“… … .”
Kyaang-!
Shudlen accurately blocked Relic’s attack.
“That’s pretty good. Do you have the skills to be arrogant? But that’s the most dangerous time. There’s another sky above the sky.”
Despite Rerik’s rambling words, Shudlen was looking at his hands.
It was definitely much faster than I thought, so I thought I should dodge it for now, but my body moved first and I was able to block the attack.
There was no strain on the body and the shock transmitted was very mild.
“You’ve gotten stronger.”
Now it has finally dawned on me. I have become skilled enough to handle even the vice-captain of the Knights of the Twelve Star Clans.
Kwaaak-.
Shudlen, who was holding the sword tightly, smiled slightly.
Kyaang-!
And he moved his body as he had learned from Legia.
Rerik was momentarily taken aback by Shudlen’s swordsmanship that was rapidly approaching him.
It was the first attack, and Relic also swung his sword lightly.
But seeing that Schudlen’s skills were extraordinary, the second attack was done properly. It was to quickly subdue him and pressure Ethan Wickers behind him.
I never expected that Ethan Wickers would show up here, but this was my chance. If I could subdue and escort Ethan Wickers, who had angered Marquis Dren, I would receive a great reward.
That’s why I swung my sword properly.
Kyaang-!
“… … !”
However, he was not able to overwhelm her. Instead, he was pushed back by the heavy sword of Shudlen.
As Relic was pushed back, the surrounding soldiers looked surprised.
Of all the troops that came here, the strongest was Relic.
That relic was pushed by Shudlen, Ethan’s direct escort.
“Re, Rerik-nim… … .”
“You got pushed… …?”
The gazes directed at Shudlen changed completely. Shudlen ignored the gazes and took a step forward, swinging his sword.
Wheaaa …
What he learned from Legia was the overall use of mana as well as the expansion of his swordsmanship.
There were many swordsmanship techniques in Legia’s head. Moreover, sparring with him was much more vivid than dealing with the special golem that Ethan had created.
Schudlen had undergone numerous training and practical lessons against that Gregiah for two weeks, and had overcome it all.
Wedge-!
In such a situation, Relic’s movements were clearly visible.
“You can’t even compare to Legia.”
As my perspective has changed, the person I once saw as infinitely high has now become exactly at my eye level.
Kkakagak-!
Shudlen slashed Relic with his armor. The solid armor’s chest was cut in a straight line, and blood gushed out.
“Ugh.”
Rerick groaned and fell to one knee.
“!”
“This is ridiculous… … Lord Rerik, doing this unilaterally… …!”
As Shudlen, who had made Rerik kneel, stepped back slightly, this time it was Yeerika who appeared forward.
Ta-da.
As Yeorika floated lightly into the sky, she raised her staff into the sky and the ground shook.
Gurrrrung-!
Tree roots sprouted from the ground, grabbed the soldiers’ ankles, and lifted them up. Then, in an instant, they slammed them to the ground.
Boom-!
“Wow.”
The surprised Shudlen looked at Yerikha. She had told him to bang his head and apologize, but she didn’t know she would make him bang his head like that.
Yeerika repeatedly incapacitated the soldiers by striking them down, then tied them to tree roots and threw them into the central square.
Just as Shudlen’s talents had fully blossomed, Yeurika, who had inherited all of the magic of the great magician Hecate, had also become a magician who could easily deal with dozens of soldiers with a single gesture.
Ethan looked pleased at the sight.
‘It was worth the investment.’
Yeri and Schudlen, the two people who invested, completely blew it up.
“W, that’s ridiculous… … how.”
Teinpro, standing next to him, couldn’t help but be astonished.
To think that he could wipe out over a hundred troops, including the vice-captain of the Knights Templar, in an instant.
“Isn’t it amazing? It’s something I wouldn’t have dared imagine in the past.”
Ethan said, looking at Tainpro.
“Don’t worry. Not anymore.”
Ethan re-erected the fallen Wickus House flag.
“Because no one will come rushing at you after seeing this flag.”
* * *
“You’re really crazy. To do something like this so openly.”
“It seems like you’re really making fun of us Wickus. Even though you’re the Twelve Stars, you invade our territory without any real justification and commit such atrocities.”
Schudlen glared at the unconscious soldiers in anger.
“Because they grew up so quickly. It’s only natural since they were a noble family in the countryside until recently. Besides, if it was the old Wickers, they would have kept their mouths shut even after being treated so unilaterally. This is just normal for these guys.”
The two guards frowned at Ethan’s words. Ethan was certainly right. The Marquis of Drenne was a large and traditional family belonging to the Twelve Stars.
On the other hand, the name value of Wickus is very low compared to that of the Marquis of Dren.
Originally, it would have been natural not to be able to raise one’s voice against such unjust treatment.
But now it’s different.
“Tie them up neatly and send them to the writer as is.”
“yes!”
At Ethan’s command, Yereka waved her hands around.
After they were completely neutralized, we handed them over to the vigilantes in charge of this area.
“I’m sorry, your highness.”
“Don’t be sorry. These guys came here on purpose. They were led by the knights of the Marquis of Dren. It was inevitable that they would be pushed back. But don’t worry. This will be the last day of this kind of thing.”
Ethan said forcefully.
“Now no one will be able to easily touch our Wickers.”
* * *
Boom-! Boom-! Boom-!
It was a grand procession. The knights of the Marquis of Dren, carrying the banner of the Marquis of Dren, passed through the gate of the Wickers estate and entered the estate.
The immediate escort unit and magic corps led by Marquis Dren in the center.
The clothing and artifacts they were wearing were of the highest quality, befitting the Twelve Star Clans.
They were constantly emitting a harsh aura as if they were standing in enemy territory, which was enough to dampen the spirits of Count Wickers and his party who were welcoming Marquis Dren and his party.
It was truly a procession fit for a noble family.
“Welcome to Marquis Dren!”
Count Wickers welcomed the Marquis of Dren. He was the only one among those who greeted the Marquis with a bright expression.
Marquis Dren, standing before Count Wickers, looked around the messy Wickers estate.
“Hello, Marquis Dren! I apologize. Our territory is currently in a state of disarray. We are still developing in many ways.”
“I’ve heard quite a bit of news, Count Wickers. It’s so good to hear from you, and there are so many interesting things happening. I’ve come to talk to you about it.”
“I should have told you first, but as we grew larger, our business rights overlapped quite a bit with that of the Marquis of Dren.”
Count Wickers said with a smile.
“Now that the territory is adjacent, let’s talk about it. I think there will be a lot to agree on.
“what?”
For a moment, one of Marquis Dren’s eyebrows rose.
agreement.
That word really bothered me.
“Did I say something wrong?”
“Do you think I came here to make a deal?”
The Marquis of Dren’s momentum grew stronger.
The surrounding air froze in an instant.
The knights standing behind the Marquis were ready to draw their swords at the first sign of an order, while Wickus was unable to respond properly.
“This is rude behavior. This is Wickus territory. Please be courteous.”
At those words, the Marquis’ knights immediately drew their swords.
Chaeng-! Chaeng-! Chaeng-!
The Wickus people couldn’t help but be flustered, as they had never thought that Lord Wickus would say something like that.
“You will regret that. I came here today not to reach an agreement or anything like that. I will give you a chance to correct your mistake, Count Wickers.”
“… … Since when did the Twelve Stars become like this? You are trying to attack us now without any justification.”
The governor looked at Count Wickers with worried eyes.
Everyone, including the director, was so shocked by the chilling atmosphere that they couldn’t even utter a single word.
Count Wickers was talking to the Marquis, looking at him with dignity.
Of course, his fingertips were trembling slightly, but his eyes and voice were extremely proud.
The moment the enraged Marquis raises his hand.
Someone slowly walked out across the Marquis’ procession.
“Hello, Marquis.”
Smiling sadly.
“Nice to meet you, my name is Ethan Wickers.”
Ethan greeted Marquis Dren.
