Episode 1127. An eye for an eye, a tooth for
a tooth Kingdom of Baylem.
Northern city of Dilat.
around noon.
A group of knights approached the great tower that entered the city.
Four of the count’s bodyguard wearing heavy armor, and the count and Helio Fabian wearing only knight’s uniforms.
Seeing the flag held by the SS, the guards rushed out and lined up in front of the tower. It was only natural that he had seen the pattern of the lord, Count Omar.
Led by Baron Milos Isaac, the head of the Guards Corps, the count and his party quietly entered the building.
As the seven knights entered the central avenue, people stood aside to the left and right.
Elio looked around left and right with curious eyes.
It was the first time since I came to the fourth heaven that I had been in the snowy fields and had been in such a large human city.
Count Larva Omar approached the side of Viscount Elio Lagoa.
“Dilat is one of the old cities in the north. As trade has developed, there are many foreigners who come and go. Since the mayor of Dilat is a liberal, you will be able to see savages as well as prisoners.”
“Even if it’s a beastman, is it marked as a beastman?”
Elio glanced at the Count.
Since a beastman has the appearance of a beast, it is difficult to distinguish a beastman from a human being.
“Anyone who wears leather is probably a savage.”
“aha.”
“Won’t you know if I put it on the armor? Even knights don’t wear leather clothes.”
“Don’t ordinary people also wear leather clothes?”
“Some of the leather is expensive, but I don’t wear it because I’m afraid I’ll be misunderstood as a savage. Because there are many people who discriminate against savages.”
“What about the Count? Do you think savages are inferior to men?”
“If you pay your taxes well, you will not be discriminated against as a savage in my territory.”
“Does the savage living in the deep mountains pay taxes?”
“haha! Dilat is a city developed for trade, so even wild people pay taxes. Unless you use an illegal exchange.”
“Looks like the transaction is taxed?”
“Right. There are people who use illegal exchanges to save money… but is this your first time in the city?”
“It’s the first time I’ve been to a city like Dilat.”
“I guess so. Why don’t you stop by the nearest exchange and see how it works? If there is something you want, I might buy it for you as a reward for saving it.”
“it’s okay. I don’t really want anything.”
“Say it any time. I’ll get you something from another territory.”
“Count.”
“Tell me.”
“I can have anything I want whenever I want. So you don’t have to think about doing something in return.”
Count Larva Omar looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with a sad face.
It’s the first time I’ve ever heard something like this.
To say such an embarrassing thing even though he is not the emperor of the empire…
‘Are you not greedy? Is it vicious?’
Either way, I’ve heard that, so I won’t recommend it any more.
The leading SS knights stopped in front of a fancy restaurant.
It looks like they are going to have lunch in the city.
Soon after, the Count and Elio’s party entered the restaurant.
***
Outskirts of Dilat.
If the center of a city is gorgeous and clean, the outskirts are shabby and messy.
It is also on the outskirts of the city where secret transactions take place.
In general, the outskirts of huge cities were crime areas, and in that respect, Dilat was no different.
People gathered in an empty lot on the outskirts of Dillat, where even the security forces and vigilantes had given up.
It is the Musketeers of Count Nebla Aximus.
Viscount Sven Hauser changed the musketeers’ clothes into casual clothes and handed them over to Viscount Milo Walker.
And once again, he left after emphasizing that he had nothing to do with this incident.
Viscount Milo Walker stared at the musketeers with a satisfied face.
A squad of twenty musketeers!
Regular musketeers are also scary, but they are musketeers who have awakened mana.
Ten musketeers were assigned to one combat company, so a musketeer of 20 could be said to have tremendous firepower.
Viscount Elio Lagoa was not wearing heavy armor, so he would surely die at this level.
“There are two knights without heavy armor. Among them, you have to shoot the barbarian with black hair first. Got it? Black hair is the target.”
Viscount Milo Walker did not reveal that the target was Viscount Elio Lagoa for the sake of the morale of the musketeers.
The reaction of the musketeers when the opponent is said to be a barbarian is somewhat sluggish.
He didn’t want to do it, so he scared me a little.
“If you don’t subdue the black hair, you will die at his hands. So if you want to live, kill the black hair.”
“All right.”
Only then did the musketeer’s face look tense.
Viscount Milo Walker turned his attention to his knights this time.
The twelve knights straightened their posture.
“This battle will be like dealing with monsters or demons. First, magic bullets were poured, and then the knights rushed in and subdued them. If it is difficult to subdue, you can kill it. There shouldn’t be any hesitation in taking a life. Got it?”
“yes!”
The knights’ faces brightened as if they were encouraged to see the musketeers.
Milo Walker checked the musketeers’ armament and left Dilat immediately.
***
Southern Dilat.
Thessalos Gorge.
Early moning.
Viscount Milo Walker placed ten musketeers on the left and ten musketeers on the right for crossfire.
Eventually, he entered the nearby forest with the twelve knights.
Baron Dennis Live, who was staring ahead, spoke cautiously.
“Hey Viscount?”
“Why but.”
“Do you really want to be just a musketeer?”
“What are you talking about?”
“You know what Viscount Helio Lagoa did in Hirhera, don’t you?”
“Is that why the musketeers aren’t enough?”
“I’m sorry, but can you catch the demon lord with musketeers?”
Viscount Milo Walker frowned.
I knew his concerns, of course, but I knew one thing and didn’t know the other.
“If Viscount Elio Lagoa was heavily armed, I wouldn’t go this far. But haven’t you seen the longitude? He wore only knightly livery. Even if his inaction surpasses that of a sword master… he will die if a magic bullet gets stuck in his body. It is not simply a matter of comparing the fighting power of the demon lord.”
“…”
Baron Dennis Live lowered his eyes.
The Viscount is right, but I don’t know why I’m so anxious.
As he made a grim face, Baron Wildbaum intervened.
“The Viscount is right. Anyone who gets hit by a magic bullet on their bare body will die. Will Archduke Hannes Knauf, the god of war, die too?”
Only then did Baron Dennis Live’s face straighten.
Because if Archduke Hannes Knauf was killed by a magic bullet, not to mention Viscount Elio Lagoa.
Viscount Milo Walker said calmly, staring at the canyon.
“It is human beings who create myths. There is nothing to be afraid of as a hero of Hiruhera. He is also a human who will die if a magic bullet is embedded in his body. Didn’t Count Larva Omar, also called the ‘Tiger of Baylem’, fall helplessly?”
Confidence rose on the faces of the knights who were silently listening.
right.
I had no idea that the ‘Tiger of Baylem’ would collapse so hopelessly.
So even the ‘Guardian of Hirhera’ would be helpless in front of the magic bullet.
The knight who was watching the inside of the canyon said quietly.
“Who is coming? They don’t seem to be merchants… They are the count’s knights.”
At his words, the knights immediately bowed.
Viscount Milo Walker’s face hardened with tension.
I have assassinated many political opponents, but this is the first time my heart is as nervous as it is now.
At the head of the knights were Count Omar and Helio of Larva.
To be precise, the Count was guiding the way, and Elio was walking alongside him.
Fabian and the four guards followed.
Because of the dust rising from the ground, the Count and Elio took the lead.
“If you go through the valley of Thessalos and go one more day, you will reach my castle.”
Elio, who was looking to the left and right of the canyon, said involuntarily.
“It’s a perfect place for an ambush.”
“haha. Nice to see you. In the past, many Imperial troops died in Thessalos Gorge. The place that inflicted the most damage on the Imperial Army is this Thessalos Gorge.”
“Looks like it. Are there bandits in the canyon?”
“There won’t be. Because Dilat’s security forces are regularly subjugating for the merchants.”
“But why is there an ambush?”
At Elio’s words, Count Larva Omar reflexively pulled the reins.
Hee-in-!
The Count’s horse came to a halt with a harsh thrashing sound.
Still, Elio continued to advance with a calm face.
The Count, who had been staring blankly, rode again and ran alongside Viscount Elio Lagoa.
“There’s an ambush, are you just going?”
Count Larva Omar looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with puzzled eyes.
The canyons of Thessalus are vulnerable to ambushes.
The Count wanted to dissuade Viscount Elio Lagoa from his actions.
“If there is poop, you have to clean it up. Can’t you go because you’re scared?”
“But…”
“The Count isn’t feeling well yet, so go back.”
“ha! I’d like to go to Dillat and gather troops… but I don’t think the Lord will return, so I’ll just go. Please be careful.”
Count Larva Omar, who had lagged behind, had a horse head to head with Fabian.
Helio rather accelerated as the Count stepped back.
click. click.
Elio’s horse galloped forward, raising dust.
According to the throat of the nervous musketeer commander, Baron Balter Skars, a dry saliva ‘gulp!’ It passed.
A black-haired knight came within range.
The opponent is at least a sword expert, maybe even a sword master.
There was no way that an ordinary knight could mobilize 20 magical musketeers.
‘They said we would die if we couldn’t kill the opponent.’
That means that young knight has the power to kill twenty magic musketeers.
He aimed his magic gun at the knight’s head.
Normally, I don’t use headshots, but today is different.
If you must kill an opponent, you must use a headshot.
It is difficult to hit, but he was a headshot specialist.
As he took a breather, the musketeers aimed at the target in unison.
As the ambush calmed down after a long run, Elio slowed down his horse.
In the forest on the right at the moment, a ‘Pung!’ I heard the sound of magic bullets being fired.
Wedge-! puck-!
Blue flames flew in front of Elio’s temple.
The magic bullet collided with the self-defense device and exploded.
As a signal, dozens of magic bullets flew from the forest on the left and right.
Pupper puffer puck—!
Blue flames collided with Elio’s self-defense machine and caused a small explosion.
Several of them were lodged in the horse’s body.
The horse slammed its head on the ground with a sad sound.
Elio kicked off the stumbling horse and soared into the sky.
The musketeers fired magic bullets at him who leaped into the air.
Pupperpuppung-!
Puff-!
Blue flames continued to rise around Elio.
‘Magic musketeers?’
Ordinary musketeers who only rely on mana stones cannot fire so quickly.
Only mana users with mana can fire rapidly.
From the beginning, I thought it might not be an ordinary thief, but the magical musketeers were severe.
This is because only the great nobles possessed the magic musketeers.
In other words, they were at least the count’s knights.
Suddenly, the faces of Viscount Milo Walker and Viscount Sven Hauser passed by.
It must have something to do with one of the two.
‘You guys also shot at random… so don’t blame me.’
It is an eye for an eye.
Elio swung his sword to the left and right of Thessalus Gorge.
The Gucheongu Swordsman Ceremony Hyeonyeo Gangwoo (玄女降雨) was held.
A magic bullet-sized river of jingom poured into the Thessalus Gorge like hailstones.
Pupper puck—!
Hundreds and thousands of rivers of jingeom swept through the Thessalus Gorge like a midsummer shower.
