Episode 1299. I don’t think it was just a robbery.
The behavior of the knights when the magic bullets fly is one of two.
It is to rush or hide to kill the musketeers.
As Tinelock charged, Fabian looked around.
However, both ends were blocked by cliffs, and the only way out was unexplored land.
It was dark in front of my eyes as I was shooting my magic gun in that unexplored land.
However, Fabian soon realized that they were not the target of that terrible excitium.
If that was the case, they would all be dead already.
‘They’re not just robbers!’
It’s strange to aim at the rear instead of the front, like Xytium.
Excitium is a strategic weapon created to kill sword masters.
The fact that they are pouring it into the rear
…
I didn’t know who they were targeting right away.
This is because Count Omar is as quiet as Count Lagoa.
For a moment, Fabian looked back.
Count Elio Lagoa and Count Larva Omar were running along the cliffs on the left and right.
‘Who is the saintess?’
His gaze turned to the center of the gorge.
Almet Hareb, a paladin drenched in blood, was guarding the saintess’s front.
No, rather than guarding it, it just seemed to be playing the role of a human shield.
At that time, Count Larva Omar, who was running up the vertical cliff face, fell down.
It was hit by excitium.
Subsequently, Count Elio Lagoa also came down to the ground due to the pouring excitium.
As Count Larva Omar did not move, the excitium focused on Count Elio Lagoa.
Meanwhile, Count Helio Lagoa’s longsword snapped.
In an instant, Fabian’s heart sank.
Count Elio Lagoa looks like he’s been mortally wounded, but that’s the scariest moment.
He shouted at Baron Howard Solon and Crea, who were chasing the remnants of the mercenaries.
“stop!”
And when Baron Howard Solon and Crea turned around, they pointed to the back.
“Go back to the saintess!”
Finishing his words, Fabian returned to the gorge where the excitium flew.
Baron Howard Solon hesitated when he saw the gorge where dozens of excitiums were flying without a break.
It’s not even a fire moth that rushes to the fire, so why go straight to the canyon?
Since the paladin is about to collapse, are they going to protect the saintess?
Unlike Baron Howard Solon, who hesitated, Crea immediately turned around and ran.
Since she had learned swordsmanship from the saintess, there was no hesitation.
As Crea also ran, Baron Howard Solon had no choice but to turn around.
He raised his head at the terrifying feeling that had come at that moment.
“omg!”
Strangely textured swords are falling like hailstones overhead?
He reflexively jumped out.
thud-!
A pit dug where he stood with a heavy explosion.
Seeing that, Baron Howard Solon’s face went white.
Looking at the size of the pit, which could have been a armful, it was a magical cannon without any fragments.
I would have thought that the destructive power of each of those swords would be comparable to that of a magic cannon!
Those terrible swords were falling all around him.
It seemed that he was also caught up in the distance because he was close to the remnants of the mercenaries.
He ran to and fro like a madman to survive.
Cuckoo-cuckoo-!
The sound of death’s explosion resounded ceaselessly from all directions.
The mercenaries were also struggling to survive.
However, the position of the mercenaries was not good.
Unlike Fabian, who was on the outskirts of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Spirit, the mercenaries’ seats were in the center.
In their eyes, all four directions were filled with mysterious swords.
The bodies of the mercenaries who were the first to shoot magic guns were torn to pieces.
The decoys that were slightly out of the center also ran away and exploded.
Mana users had holes in their bodies, but in the case of mercenaries who did not receive the blessing of mana, their weak bodies could not stand it and exploded.
It was only natural that he received destructive power comparable to that of a magic cannon.
Heldok Mercenary Commander, whose shoulder was blown off, trembled among the corpses.
‘This is a dream.’
It was clearly a nightmare.
I don’t know where this nightmare comes from, but what is clear is that this reality does not exist.
Mysterious swords with power comparable to magic cannons were pouring down like hailstones.
I had never even heard of such swordsmanship or magic.
If there was a meteor swarm spread with a sword, would it look like that?
‘Sir…somehow, he gave me a lot of excitium.’
I thought the client was an ignorant idiot, but he was a scammer.
That must be the Grand Master’s secret skill that is only told in stories.
‘That makes sense…’
Certainly sixty magic guns and two hundred shots of excitium were too much to kill two sword masters.
‘thud!’ With the sound of an explosion, the corpses next to them jumped out.
It seems that the bizarre sword has fallen.
‘I have to go to my hometown…’
Suddenly, the vision of a bear-like wife and young children appeared in front of my eyes.
However, the incarnation of the sword took away his last wind as well.
The incarnation of the sword fell over the head of the Heldok mercenary leader who reached out to his family.
thud-!
The body of the mercenary leader Heldok trembled along with other corpses around it.
That’s how the three mercenaries were massacred at the entrance to the unexplored land.
Not a single body was left intact, even the magic gun.
Someone’s touch opened Baron Howard Solon’s eyes.
I even remember falling down after receiving a strong shock while running back and forth.
As if it wasn’t an illusion, even now, lying face down, my back was throbbing.
“Grunt…”
Fabian forced himself upright with a pained sound.
For an instant, my body trembled with a feeling of dizziness.
Then Crea, who was next to him, hurriedly supported him.
“Brother! Do not work too hard. You have a serious back injury.”
“How much?”
“If it wasn’t for the saintess, I would have died.”
“That was it?”
Baron Howard Solon looked at Crea with bewildered eyes.
I think I just missed it, but I thought it was a fatal injury?
“My brother Fabian says that the Sky Sword is as strong as the Mana Blade.”
“I know that.”
Baron Howard Solon, who saw that the place where the sword landed was dented, nodded.
“I was lucky. Brother, don’t you know that all of your backbones are broken? If it had been hit properly, it would have been difficult to treat even the saintess.”
“How are the others?”
With his horse, Baron Howard Solon looked around.
I saw Count Helio Lagoa, Count Larva Omar, and Fabian.
Crea lowered her voice.
“Lord Tyinlock and the Paladin are dead.”
“…”
Baron Howard Solon let out a long sigh.
Considering the number of excitium that the mercenaries poured down, there were not many victims.
Still, it was heartbreaking to hear that Tynelock and Holy Knight Almet Hareb, who had been living like family, had died.
“ha! Who is the saintess?”
“Finally, after treating my brother… he disappeared.”
“You mean you left alone?”
Baron Howard Solon thought the saintess had returned to the Order.
It’s because I can’t think of anywhere else to go other than the church.
“no. The saintess’ body… scattered into the air like fog… disappeared.”
“why? Could it be that I used all my divine power to do that?”
“You can just fill up the divine power again. Count Lagoa knows the details. It happened after I had a conversation with Count Lagoa.”
Baron Howard Solon hurriedly turned to Count Elio Lagoa.
It was only then that the Count, who was sitting with a bewildered face, came into sight.
Time passed in silence.
Even though it was late at night, Elio did not take out his tent or bed.
He just sat in the same spot where he sent the saintess away.
Count Larva Omar and Fabian approached and tried to talk, but he didn’t answer anything, like someone who hadn’t heard anything.
As the temperature grew chilly, Crea picked up twigs and started a fire.
“I was thinking of throwing away the flint I used when I was a mercenary, but I just carried it with me….
Crea brushed her hands in front of the campfire with a shy face.
Fabian, who had been watching with admiration, praised her.
“Good work. Thanks to you, I escaped the cold tonight. Lord Lagoa needs to calm down quickly…”
Baron Howard Solon asked sneakily as the story of Count Helio Lagoa came out.
“I heard that the saintess disappeared after talking with Count Lagoa. Brother, do you know why the saintess disappeared?”
“I don’t know. The saintess spoke to Lord Lagoa separately.”
“Really like fog…”
“Stop.”
Fabian blocked his lips with his index finger as if to say no more.
Baron Howard Solon kept his mouth shut.
“From now on, don’t talk about the saintess. I wonder if Lord Lagoa said it himself. Don’t ask, don’t even try to tell. Crea you too.”
“yes.”
Baron Howard Solon and Crea answered in unison.
Suddenly, Baron Howard Solon asked.
“By the way, are you and Crea okay? Didn’t you run to the place where the excitium rained down?”
“Largoa’s swordsmanship is more terrifying than excitium. I told you to go to a safe place to avoid that.”
“Ah…”
The word “saint” was omitted, but Baron Howard Solon understood it right away.
It was because at that time, Fabian shouted, ‘Go back to the saintess!’
I thought it was to protect the saintess, but now that I heard it, it was telling me to evacuate there.
“When Sir Lagoa gets angry, he goes on a rampage, but if you get caught up in it, you can just think that everyone will die.”
“I also died and came back to life.”
“You were able to save your life because you were on the edge of the realm of swordsmanship. If it had been a little faster, I wouldn’t have been hurt.”
“I know. I hesitated for a moment, thinking about what my brother meant. sorry.”
“I have nothing to be sorry about. Everyone lives according to their destiny. Think of all your luck this time.”
“yes. But what kind of guys are they? The number of musketeers is the same, but isn’t excitium something you can get with a lot of money? Now that I think about it, it seems that the raids in open pit mines and deserts were not just the work of robbers.”
“Absolutely not.”
“With that level of mobilization, isn’t there an empire or kingdom behind it?”
“They won’t.”
“No?”
Baron Howard Solon looked at Fabian with a surprised face.
If not an empire or a kingdom, who the hell had that level of wealth and power?
“How much the empire and the kingdom are paying attention to Lord Lagoa and Lord Omar. Wouldn’t they know if they begged each other to help them? Assassination without bottom and bottom is nonsense.”
“Is there a force besides the Empire and the Kingdom that can target you two?”
“Magic Tower.”
“Why the magic tower?”
Baron Howard Solon looked at Fabian with bewildered eyes.
Of course, in terms of power and wealth, the magic tower was capable enough.
But why are they aiming for two people in the Magic Tower, which is said to live far from reality?
“There was a clash between Lord Lagoa and the Mage Tower in the Islands. Wizards are famous for being narrow-minded and long-winded. So maybe something like that.”
Fabian suspected the Mage Tower was behind this ambush.
It was because, considering the lofty pride of the wizards and the hearts of the bandaeng, they remained like that.
