Chapter 181 For a Certain End (7)
My hands are getting tired.
Watching the broken communicator on the floor, Marquis Benedict’s mind sank into a deep abyss.
‘… Where the hell did it go wrong?’
I looked back at my memories.
right after the ranking match.
Marquis Benedict led a group of nobles to visit Roman Dmitri and force him to make a choice.
As a result, a full-fledged fight began, but I didn’t think it was a bad choice.
It’s something that I’ve been working on for over a year.
Even so, they openly said that they would take an independent route, but if that was left alone, the status of the aristocrats would fall to the ground and the power system would collapse.
before fully grown.
Tried to cut the buds.
Obviously making the right decision, Roman Dmitri boldly drew his sword from Kairos.
Could it be that it was wrong to attack the base?
If he had seen the match in Benedict instead of turning his troops to Dmitri, he might not have collapsed so vainly.
No, on second thought, that wasn’t the case again.
Even with that many troops, he couldn’t defeat the empty Dmitri, but focusing on Benedict didn’t seem to change the result.
in the first place.
The difference in power was extreme.
Looking back at the choices, Marquis Benedict came to one conclusion.
‘Roman Dmitri made all plans meaningless.’
Think about it.
Whether it was the plan in Kairos or the diversionary operation in Benedict, it was an operation in which failure was not allowed when considered with common sense.
Objective power was like that.
It was a very natural result to mobilize a white-clad swordsman to subdue the power of ten.
But I couldn’t even get the job done.
When Roman Dmitri slaughter the bag alone, there is no point in making a plan no matter how hard you spin your head.
overwhelming power.
was a factor in the failure.
Just as Cairo does not dare to look up at the Empire, the aristocrats have chosen the wrong opponent in the first place.
finished.
Looking at the wreckage of the communicator, Marquis Benedict suddenly felt frightened.
‘I can’t avoid death if I stay like this.’
Devil of Cairo.
he was chasing
Marquis Benedict came to his senses and spoke in an urgent voice.
“The siege warfare at Benedict’s Castle was a complete failure. We have to avoid the body and borrow the power of the Kronos Empire to reverse the situation. move fast If they are captured like this, the future of the aristocrats is over.”
“I see.”
The nobles nodded with pale expressions.
Benedict Castle.
There are still many soldiers left.
They risked their lives for the order to fight to the end, but the leaders did not think about their safety.
After all, they are just consumables.
As long as you can save your life and use the Kronos Empire to occupy the Cairo royal family, you can always secure new soldiers.
I hurried my steps.
Fortunately, a secret passage was created in preparation for such a situation.
Since it was a way to escape unnoticed, there was still a spark of hope in the chaos.
how long did it run
I was out of breath.
The armor he wore for no reason was pressing down on his body, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
The nobles who normally would have expressed their dissatisfaction did not say anything.
Thinking that if they slowed down even a little, the devil of Cairo might come after them, they tried to push the person ahead.
Finally.
We reached the end of the aisle.
When he passed through the dark basement and faced the bright light, the expression of Marquis Benedict, who was in the lead, turned pale.
drip drip
Drops of blood ran down the blade.
over the corpse.
A man used the corpse as a chair.
After confirming Marquis Benedict, he rose from his seat with an expressionless face.
“It’s too late, Marquis Benedict.”
he’s right
It was Kevin.
* * *
Choice of the Marquis Benedict.
It was obvious.
I didn’t think that if he failed at Mercury, he would hold his head up and accept death calmly.
last week.
You have perfectly figured out the secret passage.
Kevin and other soldiers were guarding one of them, and Marquis Benedict appeared through the passage where Kevin was holding out.
It felt like my heart was completely crushed.
His face still had a youthful look, but he had experienced how terrifying Kevin was in Kairos.
‘Dmitri’s demon… … !’
At Roman’s command.
The two prosecutors rushed in.
Kevin was one of them, and I still can’t forget the sight of him flying into hundreds of troops.
I swallowed my saliva.
He hurriedly hid himself behind the escorts who had followed him and shouted in a frightened voice.
“Attack now! I mean, kill them!”
escort knights.
They, too, were clearly frightened.
They looked at each other for a moment and looked hesitant, but they couldn’t refuse Marquis Benedict’s order.
Kevin didn’t move at all when he saw them.
Seeing him stare at it, a knight gritted his teeth and charged forward.
“Attack!”
“Kill!”
dozens of knights.
they risked their lives
With a face that suppressed fear, he swung his sword at Kevin with a face that looked like he would burst into tears at any moment.
OK.
Pooh!
throat blown off
His head floated and blood spurted out, and Kevin burrowed into his opponent’s arms.
All attacks coming from all directions were dodged with a narrow gap.
There was also a sword that cut off hair, but Kevin didn’t blink an eye and used his short stature to shove the sword into the opponent’s chin.
hooked
“Krurrukruk.”
I asked for blood bubbles.
The opponent’s eyes revealed the whites, and he collapsed, raising dust on the floor.
only one.
Only Kevin moved.
There were other soldiers behind him, but they watched Kevin’s battle with a face that didn’t matter.
It was a scene that made the accident circuit completely harden.
The escort knights desperately attacked Kevin, but were helpless as their body parts were cut off one by one.
When he swung his sword with his right hand, his right hand was cut off, and when he raised his left hand to block the enemy’s attack, his left hand was cut off.
And when he turned around to run away with a frightened face, Kevin jumped on the opponent’s back and cut his throat.
Dmitry’s demon.
It was as rumored.
In a situation where the blood was flowing in streams, Marquis Benedict and other nobles fled without looking back.
escort knights.
After all, they were just consumables.
He looked at the nobles with resentful eyes, but the nobles only grew farther away from their eyes.
however.
Kevin didn’t go after the aristocrats.
He only stopped the breath of the escort knights who were struggling, but he was in no hurry.
anyway.
Marquis Benedict was nothing more than a rat in a poison.
* * *
“Mandible mandible.”
Marquis Benedict gasped.
Abandon the soldiers.
The escort knights were also abandoned.
I didn’t think it was cowardly.
Since they originally existed for themselves, they did not feel any guilt while running away.
the problem is.
“Such a dog… !”
on a new retreat.
Another being was holding on.
It was Chris.
Swordsmen following Roman Dmitri did not participate in this siege.
Because he knew that the moment the castle wall collapsed, the opponent would also collapse, so he received a special order and completely blocked the way for Marquis Benedict to escape.
this war. Not a single person involved in the rebellion could be spared.
And I knew that the way they dealt with them would remain as a precedent for future generations.
“Where are you going like that?”
Chris came over.
Marquis Benedict hurriedly turned around.
Seeing them flee in the other direction, Chris captured the other nobles, leaving Marquis Benedict alone.
hooked
“Ahhh.”
A scream rang out.
Chris killed the aristocrats of the aristocratic faction on the spot.
He deliberately inserted his sword slowly to make him scream more, and Marquis Benedict covered his ears as he ran away.
It felt like my mind would fly away.
It was hard to accept that he, who boasted of his omnipotent power, was defeated, but excessive fear ran through his head.
wherever you go
There was a subordinate of Roman.
At first, many nobles who followed him died one by one whenever they encountered a new wall.
His face was covered with tears and mucus.
Marquis Benedict made a promise in his heart as he ran away.
‘Yes, play with me to your heart’s content. If I somehow manage to survive this hell, I will definitely avenge myself by any means, regardless of whether or not I involve the Kronos Empire. At that time, even if you cry out for help, I will rip and kill all those who followed you in front of your eyes.’
desire to survive.
Revenge was the driving force.
My feet are swollen.
claws are broken
He cut himself through the bushes, but he didn’t mind the minor pain.
After running away for so long
There was hope in Benedict’s eyes.
‘It’s here.’
under the rock.
A small gap appeared.
The excretion of animals around them gave off a terrible smell, but saving their lives was the priority now.
He didn’t hesitate at all.
He hid himself under a rock and dragged the soil mixed with his excrement and applied it to his body.
I held my breath as I pressed my body as close as possible to the corner so that the flashy ornaments could not be seen.
It’s okay to say it’s out of date.
but.
Marquis Benedict’s desire for life burned stronger than ever.
* * *
The sun has set.
live
The night had never been so long.
Even though I was trembling from hunger and cold, I shut my mouth when I heard people around me.
“Sigh.”
Roman soldiers.
they roamed around
It seemed like he was checking the surroundings to find himself, but he didn’t seem to think of this place where the excrement of animals was visible everywhere.
The Marquis Benedict is a symbol of power.
Even if his life was at stake, he couldn’t imagine that he would hide with his bowels buried in his body.
Tears flowed.
He got used to the terrible smell, but his condition was so pitiful.
‘Roman Dmitry. It’s all because of him. Cairo’s throne was right in front of me, but that one guy ruined everything. i can never fall I will definitely survive and claim the throne of Cairo.’
I shuddered.
Consciousness kept fading, but I forcibly endured, even if I had to bite the inside of my mouth.
It was then.
“… Marquis Benedict. It’s all over now. Please come out.”
It was a familiar voice.
Viscount Owen.
he was clear
Marquis Benedict almost screamed at the moment, but hurriedly covered his mouth.
It was clear that this was an attempt to locate himself using prisoners.
If that’s not the reason, why don’t you pull yourself out right away?
“Benedict Castle has been completely captured. All of the nobles’ troops were captured and none of their leaders escaped. Marquis. We’re done. Even the Marquis’s family members were dragged out like dogs and are now begging for their lives. So please, Marquis, please convince Roman Dmitri.”
It was a desperate voice.
At first, a voice heard from afar.
The more we talked, the closer we got.
“You don’t even know the Marquis. There is no way to escape from here. Roman Dmitry expected us to flee from the start and blocked all escape routes. Didn’t you feel something strange as you ran away? We are being fooled. That means there was no way to escape in the first place.”
The blood was cold.
that word
It seemed that he knew where he was and spoke.
That moment.
Along with the movement of a human being, a voice filled with fear penetrated my ears.
“Hey, this dog! Do you think people don’t know you’re hiding there? You said you would save my life if you showed up on your own, but you are selfish to the very end. Please go to hell… … Kuck.”
It was the sound of death.
Marquis Benedict’s complexion turned pale.
Only then did I know
From the beginning, his position was discovered.
Roman Dmitri deliberately stood by, as if he had let them run away knowing it.
Blood spilled on the floor.
The blood that flowed from Viscount Owen soaked Marquis Benedict’s clothes.
and.
“come out.”
Voiced by Roman Dmitry.
Marquis Benedict tightly closed his eyes at the sinking heart.
