9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword Chapter 375

Episode 375

Episode 124. Coble Free State (1)

The Greeks expressed ‘endurance’ meant that they would not be immediately destroyed. If so, humans will be divided first before going to war with the demons.

Her response was to hold hostages.

Hela confined the crown princes and princesses of the countries who participated in the assassination of Asuka to the imperial castle. The imperial family’s special entrustment team secretly carried out the agreement.

The contents of the agreement were simple. If they reject the request of the Empire, they will immediately hold them accountable for Asuka’s assassination.

That meant immediate destruction. Hella was in a strong position that it could not yield this much, and in the end, the country involved in the assassination had no choice but to send the heirs to the throne.

At first glance, it seems that Hela simply indirectly expressed her anger at losing Asuka, but this was an effective response even in the war against the demons after the end.

It was also a way to forcibly suppress them when a full-scale war with the demons began.

They were the ones who assassinated Asuka before the war even broke out. There was no guarantee that they would not unite and attack the Empire when war broke out and the world was thrown into chaos.

A situation where you don’t know when the invasion of the underworld demons will begin.

Whatever the reason, it was not easy for the trampled and the trampled to unite as one to fight the demons.

With the assassination of Asuka as an opportunity, Hela requested a hostage in order to create an unstable and forcible alliance.

Of course, the best outcome would be to properly settle the past and conclude a true alliance after a long and painstaking effort, but it was a time when the survival of mankind was too precarious to do so.

“Even if you don’t tell me, I won’t kill or abuse those who came as hostages.”

“I know, Your Majesty.”

A month has passed since Asuka’s assassination.

From the point of view of the leaders of other countries, he was a cruel war maniac, but in the eyes of the people of the empire, Asuka Rose was a great monarch.

She valued status and lineage, but did not neglect the welfare of the common people, and always considered traditions, laws, and the safety and prosperity of the empire as top priorities.

That is why the gloomy light on the faces of all the people has not been extinguished until now.

After Rochshire, the people of the Empire spent more time commemorating than laughing.

The coronation ceremony was the only thing that could warm the hearts of the people, but it was messed up because of the blue dagger. It would not be strange if a national-scale collective depression occurred.

“A hero like you should be the hope in this chaotic city.”

“I apologize.”

“Just because I became emperor, don’t be so rigid. Are you leaving tomorrow?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“A country free from snoring…. That little country has their base. go carefully To be honest, I don’t feel comfortable sending you away. If even you are wrong.”

“Nothing like that, Your Majesty. Let go of your worries.”

The reason Hella was worried about Yuma was no different.

It was decided that Yuma would not lead a formal army, but rather select a small number of people and head for a free country. After the Rochshire Incident, the Empire had to contain internal security and contain the countries involved in the assassination, and the empire did not have enough military leeway.

In addition, since Asuka Rose’s official cause of death was a chronic disease, if the empire led its military and attacked a free country, it would inevitably have a negative impact on the international situation.

“Yuma.”

As Yuma said hello and was about to leave, Hella called his name.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Tell Natalie I’m sorry.

Hella couldn’t bear to say that and just smiled helplessly.

At the end of the coronation ceremony, the proposal of Hella, which was intended to be made in front of all the people, became a story that did not exist.

Yuma also pretended not to hear that, and Hella also couldn’t do that to Natalie, who threw herself in to protect her.

And Hella knew the answer.

That Yuma probably wouldn’t have accepted his marriage proposal. It was because marriage was not the only way to prove loyalty to the imperial family.

Even in the presence of all the people watching, he would have argued that this was not possible by preaching about his birth status and the nobility of the name Rose.

“I ascended the throne of the empire, but I couldn’t protect my mother, and I couldn’t keep calm with my personal feelings, so it’s full of shameful things…

Hella smiled bitterly and said to herself. The central hall of the imperial castle, which bit everyone outside, felt infinitely wide and desolate.

There were a total of seven people heading to the free country with their noses.

Yuma Malone Zeka Ariel Igor Lakir and Milina Spazer.

They were few in number, but with the exception of Igor, all of them were individuals with destructive power comparable to or higher than that of an army.

Natalie decided to search for the whereabouts of the blue dagger separately with the Rose Society and Garou Sorin, the warrior that Hella had attached to her.

It was because he had to find Haseo-guk and other hiding places besides the snoring-free country as long as he had confirmed that the previous lord, ‘Marca’, was alive.

Duran Jacques did not participate in this expedition, suppressing his anger with a heart full of bloody tears.

It was judged that the safety of Hela could not be guaranteed if Duran and Zach were also absent in the yard where Yuma, Milina Garou, and other strongmen of the empire were away.

The assassination method of the ‘blue dagger’ completely shattered common sense until now. As it suddenly burst out of the ground and air, normal escorts could not stop it.

Duran didn’t consider anyone in the empire strong enough to be reliable, except for Yuma, so he sent his pupils and he himself was going to be in charge of escorting Hela closely for 24 hours.

-If I can’t tear them apart myself, I will remain with resentment until I die, but I can’t lose even His Majesty following the presidency. I will never leave the Empire until they make up their minds. Disciple, these were the words Duran said to Yuma before you took their heads and left. While Duran was talking, his body was trembling as if he had difficulty controlling his emotions.

“Get away from me. If you let out that disgusting snort just once, I’ll kill you, even if you’re Yuma’s colleague…

[Come here, hairy. If that lizard girl keeps scaring me, I’ll punish her.]

Ariel and Rakir couldn’t sympathize much with the sorrow of humans. The Rochshire tragedy or the death of Asuka are not matters that directly hit their hearts.

However, Rakit often had a melancholic expression on his face as he watched his lord often fall into a deep depression.

“Aang! Igor tried to break the heavy atmosphere of the party with his characteristic overly cheerful disposition. However, Yuma knew very well that he was deeply saddened by his mischievous charms.

“Baron Drake, may I ask why you brought them here? I don’t think it will help.”

asked Milina, looking pitifully at Ariel and Rakir Egor. The white dragon and the demon king couldn’t even pay attention to Milina’s glare because they were fighting each other.

“Even if you look like that, you are a noble dragon and a demon king of the underworld. Among humans, no one knows more about black magic than they do. The blue dagger uses the power of demons.”

Yuma was forced to stop talking by Milina.

Since she had taken the ‘Oath of Loyalty’, she wanted Yuma to wear a lower rank and herself to use an extremely honorific title in the relationship between a perfect lord and subject. In the end, only Yuma agreed to write Hadae.

“I can’t believe it. Do you have no shame in being like a dragon or demon king acting like a child?”

“You’d better be careful with your words, Milina.

I don’t know about Rakir, but I can’t stop Ariel. Let’s not create unnecessary problems.”

“If it’s your name, I’ll follow you.”

“Yes.”

It’s uncomfortable, it’s so uncomfortable…

Every time Yuma talks to Milina, it feels like a potato is stuck in her throat.

She had a hard personality far beyond Yuma’s imagination. I had heard rumors even before returning, but I didn’t know it would be to this extent.

“But apart from the dragon and the demon king, I want to ask why the man named Igor is. He is also the owner of strong military power, but he is not as good as the magician dragon prince or Zecca Dean.”

“Ah, it’s because of the Xyil religion. They also have business to do, but their home base is a snoring-free country. It is said that the former location of God is strange and difficult to find, so he was brought in as a guide. Let me do chores while you go.”

Milina nodded her head moderately without asking further.

Free your nose. The tiny country with the most miryaks in the world was home to the Blue Dagger and Zeilism.

True to its name, a free country, it was a land with no clear ruling power. It was a country where the social status system was not known and even the force of the law was vague.

Because of this, it was also the destination of all kinds of criminals and end-of-life. That was the reason why the most number of miryaks flowed in.

‘Well, since it’s such a land, it must have been good for pseudos. Before the return, nothing had happened in the Cobble Free State that would become a global problem. I only heard the news that it was destroyed after the end of the Dragon Horse War.’

Could it be that there is something hidden in the land?

Yuma thought about that and asked for a pipe. The feeling was not very good.

While Yuma was in the east, Zecca went to subdue a demon in a free country where he snored only once, but he did not find anything special.

Ariel, who had been arguing with Rakir from behind, ran to Yuma’s side. It looked like he didn’t want to deal with Rakir anymore.

“Is Yuma camping still? The sun is slowly setting.”

“I am getting hungry too. Today, let’s boil some soup and go to sleep.”

“sympathy.”

As Ariel said, Marlon and Zecca added.

It wasn’t long before the tent opened. When the meal was over, Ariel made her way to a separate tent, far away from the rest of the group, followed by Yuma and Malone Zecca.

“Hey Ariel! come out!”

Ariel stuck her head out of the tent as if it were annoying.

“What?”

“I feel like I have a debt that pierced my shoulder, but it seems that Yuma has not yet received the debt that drove Halun…

“How can that be a debt? It’s just that I was attacked by him and Yuma forced him to back down.”

“So it is a debt. Did you say that if it wasn’t for Yuma then, you would have died?”

At Marlon’s insistence, Ariel widened her eyes as if she were full of energy.

“Ha… so I have to go into debt?”

“yes. That is the conclusion the three of us have come to after pondering over the past month.”

It was a lie, of course. In the meantime, Yuma had a busy day at the imperial castle, Zecca spent time with Liz, and was serving as a diner at the top of Maloneman Puang.

The three of them barely got together the day before they left for an expedition.

However, contrary to the crumpled expression, Ariel’s innermost heart did not hate their insistence.

“What a vulgar way of thinking. yeah say anything what do you want to receive? cigarette?”

“Can’t you just promise to do it for me?”

While Marlon was doing this, Yuma and Zeka only coughed to hide their embarrassment.

“It’s my fault for trying to talk to you, the stupidest of the three. Yuma you say What do you want to ask of me?

In the name of debt.”

Zecca and Marlon pushed Yuma on the back. Yuma shrugged and had no choice but to put an iron plate on his face.

“Ariel, I don’t know if I can say this, but I hope you don’t take it too seriously. Would it be possible for you to tell

us the decisive battle of the Dragon tribe’s spearmanship… ?”
