Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Chapter 578

Chapter 578,

Chapter 150. When to Pay (1)

Dante did not proclaim himself regent the next day. It was because there were issues that had to be sorted out before that.

An underground villa in the middle of the Empire.

A man was walking aimlessly through the living room. His pale face and trembling shoulders showed his anxiety.

He is the second son of Lon High-Lan and ‘Tion High-Lan’, the rider of High-Lan.

The first person to betray Hiran and join the Emperor’s treason. He took refuge in this underground villa before the end of the Geomhwang Temple. With about fifty knights of the empire following him.

‘Damn it, why did this happen…!’

There are many reasons why he betrayed Hailan. Despite being a rider, he never satisfied Ron and was always overshadowed by his nephew Dante.

Tion thought that all of that was discrimination stemming from differences in talent. Dante, who was born as an extreme weakling, engulfed in chaos from birth, turned a blind eye even though he clearly knew what efforts he had made. It’s easier to think of it as a difference in talent.

Ron, who had always had a crush on the family and seemed to keep his position for the next twenty years, collapsed due to internal injuries, and the emperor made a sweet offer to Tion.

There is a thing called ‘white stone’, so if you give false testimony about him in front of the people, he will make him the head of the family when Hailan goes extinct.

At that time, the emperor had said that he really coveted Tion’s potential. That’s why Tion accepted the emperor’s offer without thinking for an hour.

Not even dreaming of the fact that the family had been silently waiting for Tion to return to Do-do even after knowing the signs of betrayal and disloyalty.

‘I thought there was absolutely nothing to lose because the imperial army would come out when the army was pushed, but the king of the black sea? Why did something like that come out!’

bang!

The table was shattered by Theon’s punch, and fragments flew. The knights who were watching him danced and cleared their throats for no reason.

“That Sir Theion… has there been any contact from His Majesty?”

An article asked cautiously.

“Is there? And you stupid person, His Majesty is already finished. Our chances of survival now depend on the Imperial Family, not on Your Majesty.”

“Still, His Majesty doesn’t seem to have suffered yet. Looking at the situation outside, rumors are circulating that sooner or later Dante Hilan will declare the regency…” “

The Xia family is not enough, so will the empire be swallowed up? My nephew’s world is gone. I wonder if my father is still alive, that bastard!”

Theon roared with a sigh.

“Lord Tion’s family has already ignored our calls three times. First of all, how about trying to get in touch with His Majesty somehow?”

“How many times do I have to say that Your Majesty is finished! Why are you even doing this?”

“Isn’t it possible that the reason Your Majesty hasn’t been arrested is because she has the protection of the imperial family? Perhaps the imperial family has not given up on you yet. His Majesty may still hold a card that can turn the situation around. So, we need to talk to His Majesty.”

“If you tell me to find your majesty one more time, it will break your bones…”

Tion, who had said that far, staggered and met the knight’s eyes.

It was because an ominous intuition suddenly dominated his brain. Among the knights following him, no one had responded so far.

“You bastard… what is it, why do you keep looking for Your Majesty? Did you receive any orders from the imperial family? Who are you?”

“What do you mean?”

“Take off your helmet.”

“Sir Theion?”

“Take off your helmet! It’s suspicious how obsessed with His Majesty. Hello! Arrest this bastard, I don’t think he’ll confess if I put it nicely!”

The other knights watched the atmosphere and crept closer to him. The knight continued to keep his helmet on, then sighed and said:

“This is really out of character.”

The knight stretched out his hand into the air. Then he grabbed something invisible and pulled it, and then the three knights approaching him were cut into pieces like random fish.

Squeak-!

What he pulled was memorization in the form of a string. The blood that gushed out like a fountain instantly turned Theon’s face red, and he blinked as soon as he realized that the knight had disappeared from his field of vision.

‘What is this…!’

The knight was standing behind Theion, holding a dagger to his throat. He had taken off his helmet, but what covered his face was a milky-white mask.

It had already been a week since Bizen, the unknown top watering man, had infiltrated Tion’s underground villa.

During that week, Bizen had more than ten thousand chances to kill Tion. Even so, I have been acting for two reasons.

The first was to find out the Emperor’s whereabouts through Emperor Amir Viment, if Tion still had a hotline with the Emperor.

The second was because there was a request from the client.

-Watch him for a few days and if he shows any remorse for his sins, capture him alive and bring him back. As a family teacher, I will give you time to repent.

It didn’t mean that it would spare Theon. It was just to be considerate so that he could die with a little bit of repentance.

Theon had just completely missed that opportunity.

“Anonymous…!”

“Looks like you’re really out of touch with Amir Bement. I’ve been patient with the hope that my princess would be less troublesome.”

“Wait a minute. If I can get in touch with His Majesty, will it save me? If so, I will contact His Majesty immediately…”

“Unfortunately, the carriage has left. And it will take a little time to find him, but he will surely die anyway. Because I got the best shot at obscurity.”

Shut up!

The dagger pierced Theion’s neck with smooth, swift action.

Tion Hylan died just as it was. The rest of the knights looked like they were trying to run away in a panic, not even thinking about fighting against Bizen.

However, when Bizen once again pulled the transparent thread installed in the air, they had no choice but to be mercilessly sliced away.

“Aww!”

“Save me, save me!”

Before 10 seconds had passed, the rest of the knights died without exception.

After completing the mission, not a single drop of their blood was stained on Bizen’s body.

The same thing as Tion was happening in the secret shelters of the main houses and villas of the families who stood on the emperor’s side during the first war of the Sword Emperor’s Temple.

“Acting Gaju! It seems that Dante Hylan has already started the purge. The knights of the family that belonged to the main family are being assassinated…!”

Harlow’s Shelter.

They attacked Hiran by putting knights, including Scott Harlow, of the Central Knights in the imperial army.

Those who were killing the Harlows were also unknown killers. They were commissioned to kill all but a few of Harlow’s finest.

“Puhehe… Is this how it ended up? Yes, since I lost everything, I deserve to become a vengeful demon.”

The home of the Cenderer family.

They also attacked Hiran with Gloria Cenderer of the Knights of the White Spear.

In that way, the Lilithta family, the Lilithta magic team fans, and other families that sided with the emperor’s army were paying a price close to annihilation.

The unknown killers took their lives without hesitation.

“The world is truly unknown. Dante Hiran… I heard that he turned into a demon during the war, but I didn’t expect him to act so quickly.”

The deputy head of the Henserk family said in a resigned voice. Standing in front of him was another unknown top killer ‘Ahn’.

“You are mistaken.”

An said in a dry voice and looked at Hensuck’s sub-joo.

“The person who commissioned you to kill is not Dante Hiran.”

“what?”

“It’s just a story. It’s a story that doesn’t need to be told in the first place, but I feel like I’ll resent a strict person for no reason after I die.”

With the sword inside, Hensark decapitated Boozu. The corpses of the dead wizards were lined up behind him, but not a single drop of blood was left on the milky-white clothes.

Dante had no intention of killing them right away. Just as I tried to give Tion time to repent and die, I tried to give them a chance to die after contributing even a little to the normalization of the empire.

It was the imperial family, not Dante, who requested the annihilation of the family that was on the side of the emperor’s army.

It is to cut off the tail to make a justification for receiving as little damage as possible. Those disgusting mystics valued their own well-being more than the normalization of an empire tainted by chaos.

The imperial family sincerely had the perception that the empire could only come back when they were in good health. Even though they still have the power to do so.

Ignorance is an assassin’s sword that stands in neutral.

Anyone from any faction could borrow the Nameless Blade, provided they were qualified and paid a sufficient price.

If the umbrella called ‘Lon High Iran’ had continued to exist in the empire, Nameless would never have accepted the request from the imperial family. The reason why Ignorance accepted the request that could upset the balance of the empire was purely because there was no Ron.

It wasn’t that Mu-myeong accepted all the requests from the imperial family this time.

Only one family among those who stood in the imperial army.

Moo-myeong refused the imperial family’s request to assassinate the remaining leaders of ‘Ferralga’.

It wasn’t exactly a refusal, but I didn’t receive the request ‘because it overlapped’. Nameless received the request to protect the Feral family from assassination for the time being before the imperial family’s request.

-Kevin Ferrell was a piece of trash, but Sir John Cena Ferrell eventually sided with the Imperial Army for the sake of the people. Even though that choice was ultimately wrong… as a knight and as a soldier. I want to honor the life of Sir John Cena. Keep them from assassination for the time being.

That’s how the Feralga was able to preserve the family from the sword of obscurity.

And fortunately, most of those who remained in Ferrell resemble John Cey or Ferrell.

It was not until four more days later that the unknown best shooter found Emperor Amir Bement.

Amir Biment was hiding in an unnamed forest in the south of Biment, and there were no guards or escorts left by his side.

“hi?”

Jonah Runcandel.

The emperor, who raised his head at the sight of her smiling and talking bashfully, was able to intuit.

It is said that death came to him in the end.
