Guinevere Palace.
(Palace of Guinevere).
At one time, it was a detached palace famous for having the best flower garden in the royal palace.
Unlike its reputation.
“Aww!”
“My arms! my arm!”
“Cut the supply and demand!”
Right now, Guinevere Palace was just turned into a battlefield where the scent of blood flowed thickly instead of the scent of flowers.
“Stop it!”
“Form a square! Never break through!”
“Kill!”
“Never let them in!”
“Protect Her Highness!”
“Aaaaaagh!”
bloody acid.
The corpses stretched here and there piled up like a low mountain, and the blood that flowed down had already soaked my feet for a long time.
In the midst of this, the two types of knights and soldiers glared at each other and scolded each other.
Wielding spears and swords, they brutally attack each other.
reverse motherhood.
Naturally, on one side were the privates and his knights, whom Archduke Bismarck had trained with great care.
What blocked them from inside the palace were the Royal Knights and regular soldiers who were supposed to protect the royal family.
Kagagagak!
The swords of the two knights of each camp collided and sparks flew wildly.
Every time the sword was swung, the wind that blew menacingly cut down the vegetation in the garden.
“Kuh-.”
At that courageous spirit, the archduke’s knight frowned and took a few steps back.
He is a knight who grew up with the support of the Grand Duke, but his opponent is also a Royal Knight. Because he was a warrior who grew up with the support of the royal family and polished his sword.
Although it was a surprise rebellion, judging from the situation so far, it was the royal family who had the advantage.
If we have to talk about the ratio, it’s a little less than 7:3.
Maybe 65 to 35.
That’s why those filthy weightlifters also surrounded Guinevere Palace and growled but couldn’t push inside.
However, that doesn’t mean there are no casualties at all.
As the battle continued for a long time, casualties began to rise one by one.
Stand up-!
“…Grrruk!”
Seeing the knight fall down with blood spattering on his chest, the Royal Knights fixed their swords and threw themselves at each other.
“The wounded are escorted to the rear! Hold the line!”
The reason for such a judgment was simple.
There was a reason that they couldn’t let those who were still alive die in vain, but a bigger reason was to maintain the battle lines.
‘Even if it’s a colleague, it’s an odd obstacle lying under your feet.’
Because they were thoroughly trained to protect the royal family and the royal family.
“Yeah old!”
At that order, some of the soldiers rushed and quickly escorted the wounded knight to the rear.
The rear here meant the first floor of Guinevere Palace.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
“Far pali…”
Inside the palace, there were already a line of people who had been evacuated like that.
Handmaids and maids who were doing chores in the palace were treating the injured.
Of course, receiving emergency treatment does not guarantee that you will be able to rejoin the battlefield.
But now, isn’t one hand in a precious position?
The problem was that the number of injured people was too large compared to the number of people who could treat them.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
The knight who had just been escorted let out a groan.
If you don’t use your hands quickly enough that your chest has been cut for a long time, excessive bleeding will stop you from breathing.
It was then.
“Bring a clean cloth and a bandage!”
A dignified voice resounded from close range. Then something warm began to wipe away the blood that flowed down his chest.
“Ugh.”
Then, a bitter feeling stabbed his brain.
“I sprayed a hemostatic agent, so the bleeding should be able to stop as soon as possible. It stings a little, but bear with it. Lord Thompson.”
Knight Thompson, who had been salivating at the familiar voice, opened his eyes.
Somehow, I muttered involuntarily as I confirmed that I could see purple hair through the blurry retina.
“… and Her Highness the Princess?”
shock shock.
I can’t believe the princess was taking care of the injured herself.
The eyes regained their strength at the fact that I had never thought of. Along with him, the face of the person who was wearing a bandage over his wound was clearly visible.
It was not an illusion.
really a princess
Hecate Latmos was tending to his wounds. His hands were covered in blood as if he had already taken care of the wounds of several people before.
Not only that, but the ends of her hair were also tangled with red blood, as if it had been dyed.
What’s even more surprising is…
“How could Her Highness tell me my name…”
Thompson asked in a trembling voice, and the princess replied, pulling the bandage tightly.
“How can you not know? come up Iol. Diane. Finn…”
Thompson’s pupil unconsciously followed Hecate’s gaze. There, the bodies of the fallen comrades who had already been unable to use their hands were laid neatly there.
Hecate was now reciting their names one by one.
“…Kyungs are not disposable knives.”
What a pitiful expression indeed. Hecate rolled up all the bandages and clenched his fists tightly.
He chewed and spit out each bite, feeling his nails digging into his hands.
“I learned the sword from a young age in order not to become a person who only needs protection.”
He swung his sword to the extent that calluses were cut on his bloody, torn grip.
“But in the end I… end up being protected by the Lords.”
For this woman who grew up in a noble family by inheriting royal blood, she possessed considerable swordsmanship skills.
Of course, if you want to go out and fight, you can.
Maybe he could cut off the supply and demand of a few enemy generals.
But I couldn’t.
‘If I go outside, the enemy’s attacks will be focused on me.’
The knights would move to protect themselves, and then the battle lines would be disrupted.
‘Ha…’
Hekate asked Knight Thompson, who had come to his senses, feeling the tingling blood flowing from his bitten lips.
“Sir Thompson. How is the situation outside?”
Thompson answered the question.
“yes. Her Highness the Princess. The equators have come in droves, but they are not very numerous. The equators too, ugh—”
In the middle, Chimi was sobbing in agony.
“Speak slowly.”
“…With words, they only bark to attack, but perhaps because the number is not enough, they have yet to cross the walls of the palace.”
It’s not so bad if you just listen to the explanation and think about it. However, this was an idea that only those who knew one and did not see the other would have.
‘Private soldier of the Grand Duke.’
How they came to the royal castle was roughly guessed.
‘Perhaps they brought some of the high-ranking officials under the umbrella, and they opened a secret passage leading to the inside of the royal family.’
Pushing the enlisted soldiers in like that-.
‘Are you going to buy time for the strong men who dragged the time to siege the palace and enter the capital by breaking through the capital’s defenders?’
Who cooperated with the Grand Duke and who informed the secret passage? Of course, they should be found and purged, but it was not an important issue right now.
Pulling out a stone that had already been revealed was still possible even after all the treachery had been stopped.
‘Archduke…’
Archduke Bismarck.
For her, the power accumulated over half a century by the great-grandfather was truly astounding.
Even though he had a heart attack, he could not have imagined that the thorns that he could not pull out due to insufficient evidence contained poison that would cause the entire limb to rot.
And I don’t think that poison would be able to tie the feet of the kingdom’s strongest power window pagoda owner and salt pagoda owner…
‘The key is those who go outside.’
A group of monsters that have spread in the Great Forest.
The royal capital who went out to subdue those monsters… In addition, many strong people who did not join the archduke’s treachery.
For example, the lords of local magic towers or the lords who listened to the voice of the brave.
If you hold out until they arrive, you will be victorious.
But on the contrary, if they can’t stand it and the strongmen of the Grand Duke cross the gate first…
‘Everything must be over.’
Hekate quietly closed his eyes, feeling a wisp of uneasiness run down his back and the nape of his neck stiffen.
And…
it didn’t take long for that anxiety to come to reality.
It was about the time the messenger with the red flag had just arrived at the 7th Legion.
.
.
bang!
The flames poured out in all directions with an explosion.
Waves of flame spread out, engulfing and burning the entire garden, and a group of people slowly emerged from beyond.
Chuck Chuck Chuck-.
It was a magic that could not be easily seen without inheriting the genealogy of a number of towers, which could be called the essence of fire magic.
Akirum, a disciple of Blaine Trilogy and the owner of the Cargo Red Tower, was right there.
With a group of wizards following him.
Although he did not reach the level of a superman, his fighting ability, which had been reigning as the tower owner for a long time, was more than overwhelming for a knights group made up of Royal Knights.
“Just…!!”
The flames that burned the whole knight who shouted to stop it exploded the gate of Guinevere Palace.
Kwagwagwagwa!
Hecate rose from her seat in the midst of an explosion of scattered flames that moved to curtains and ornamental plants, and a high cloud of sand and dust.
Putting down the knight he was taking care of, he stared beyond the sand dust.
I grabbed the sword that was worn around my waist.
clap-.
“Arkyrum…”
“Now they don’t even attach ‘Kyung’. Her Highness the Princess.”
Hecate shot at the grinning man with a resolute expression.
“Gyeong is probably a word given to those who have received a title from the royal family. Do you think the word honor would be appropriate for you who have fallen into a cabal of traitors?”
Sreureung-.
The treasured sword worn around her waist reveals itself with a clear metal sound.
It was the same sword that Russell had guessed the day before, ‘It might be a novelty.’
“Arondight—.”
A new sword that was given by a fairy of the lake and said to have split the skin and cut out the bones of a fire-crazy dragon that went mad long ago.
Its strength was said to be on par with the Aura Blades created by superhuman Aura practitioners.
“I think I’ll get a good quality shoe today.”
Despite facing Arondite, Archairum giggled insignificantly.
It may be a great sword with considerable power, but it might be a great swordsman who has been trained for more than several decades.
It wouldn’t be easy to exert one’s power as long as it’s in the hands of the princess. Not to mention, the War Mages of the Cargo Red Tower were lined up behind him.
“Princess.”
“We will buy time.”
The surviving Royal Knights fix their swords and create squares.
Speculation collided with speculation, and lightning flashed from everywhere.
In the midst of that, Akarum said with a relaxed expression.
“Your Highness the Princess. If you surrender even now, I will try to save the lives of those here. Oh, this is my last loyalty to someone who has always served the royal family, so please don’t refuse it.”
He spat out mocking words and giggled.
“Bad cow—!!”
One of the Royal Knights roared in rebuttal, but before the cry was over.
Hwaaak!
A bright light poured from the ring worn on the princess’s left hand.
Faaaa!
The red light that started from the garnet condenses in the air, and the blue light rises from the center, and the two lights mix.
Thus, what was completed was a single warp gate.
Roaring!
Flames poured out from within.
The pouring out flames gently embraced the princess and the royal knights as if they were a wall.
Happiness, Happiness, Happiness!
Then, the dwarves of the flames who grabbed the spears that started from the flames began to stand up one by one.
There are about seventy of them.
“This is…?”
“Be careful of the tower?”
Seeing that, those who followed Akairum vomited their bewilderment.
“No way. Daria Snowwhite. That monster must be Master…?!”
Archerum was no exception.
While everyone was shouting that Daria had appeared, there was only one person.
Only Hecate recognized the identity beyond the gate and shouted!
“—You!”
Tall, well over six feet tall, black hair and red eyes.
The man, who appeared with a red robe fluttering like flames, landed on the first floor of Guinevere Palace on his boots.
chuck-.
He licked his lips at Hecate and said.
[Sorry for the delay. Hecate.]
The wizard who swallowed the dragon
