Episode 226 Doo doo doo doo.
With over 10,000 horsemen galloping across the field, making an earth-shattering roar.
The red-haired, red-eyed middle-aged man in the lead repeatedly screamed, blood rising in his throat.
“Run! Run!”
A cavalry force totaling up to 10,000 people, led by McLane’s crossbow cavalry.
It was a force composed of only elites who could run as fast as possible after clearing the battlefield. However, even for such elites, it was difficult to keep running for more than a day with only minimal rest.
at last.
Heeeeeee!
A horse that was struggling to catch up at the rear of the line collapsed helplessly.
“Jensen!”
Colleagues around me who were running with me called out their names in anxious voices.
“The stragglers are abandoned! Just look ahead and run!”
The attention of the crossbow cavalry was once again fixed on the front by Instructor Kaisolon’s fierce shout.
Something that has already happened several times.
There was no one among them who was not overexerting themselves, but in front of them, the lord was constantly raising his eyebrows and screaming.
“Never slow down! Take breaks to a minimum!”
While there was a delay in clearing the battlefield, he shouted with determination to close the distance with Logan, who had gone ahead as quickly as possible.
Since the lord took the initiative with wide eyes, the soldiers had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow.
However, while continuing to run unreasonably.
From afar, a group of troops could be seen approaching them.
“This is the flag of Viscount Armored!”
At the shout of a soldier who recognized the family crest, Padric’s brows narrowed further.
‘I have a quick way to go.’
Wow.
What you see are at most 50 knights and about 10 times that number of soldiers.
Although the Knights are missing, McLane’s crossbow cavalry is also the elite of the elite.
They were confident that they could completely melt down a small group of knights with just their repeating crossbows. So, if they are idiots who are hostile just because they can’t see the knight, just destroy them.
“All armies ready for battle!”
The eyes of the sprinting soldiers changed at the sound of Padric’s murderous cry.
Soldiers prepare crossbows and take out swords and spears.
The moment I took a few breaths, I was ready for battle.
Just that cross section seemed to reveal how well trained they were.
But they never wielded their weapons.
“His Excellency the Marquis! This is Viscount Samuel Ahmaud! We too will join McLane’s army!”
The appearance of a plump middle-aged man standing at the very front and waving a flag.
In fact, the knights and soldiers who followed him were not prepared for battle at all.
No one drew a weapon and there was no special movement. He even lowered his head as if he was afraid of being misunderstood.
‘hmm?’
Padric looked at them with fierce eyes and then nodded.
Two days have passed since the rotation ended.
Nowadays, no one knows that McLine is an unstoppable trend. So, it was only then that Padric realized that there might be someone who sticks this way, or that there would be a lot of them.
But his response was simple.
“Run straight ahead!”
Doo doo doo doo.
The McLane soldiers run ahead as if they didn’t hear the Viscount’s cries.
The complexion of Samuel Ahmaud, who had shouted vigorously at that, turned pale.
“Now wait…!”
Watching the assault of 10,000 troops from the front felt like an enormous amount of pressure.
“Viscount Armored! Get out of the way! If you don’t, we’ll cut through!”
The Viscount and his troops were startled by the sound of Padric’s voice resounding across the field.
“Your Excellency the Marquis! I am a support car…!”
“It’s noisy! If you want to apply, catch up on your own!!”
Doo doo doo doo.
Ten thousand horsemen galloped across the field, and Samuel Ahmaud, who had raised his flag high to join the trend, had no choice but to hurriedly get out of the way.
“Oh my. Damn it…!”
Embarrassing.
But why did he come here?
The McLine has already won the slalom and has become a trend.
There was no other way to take a step now.
“Catch up somehow!!”
He too had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow behind.
Heeeeeeee.
However, Samuel Ahmaud’s wish did not seem to be realized so easily.
For the next two days, the army of small and medium-sized nobles that stuck to the rear of McLane was a large force, numbering over 5,000 from 10 families.
Doo doo doo doo.
“How many people are there?”
“Indeed, McLane….”
“Is the world really going to change?”
Murmur.
Troops pouring in through the gates.
There was deep fear in the eyes of people looking at them on the street or hiding in their homes.
Just before that, I saw over a thousand knights running toward the castle. But this great army follows right behind them.
The politics of the nobles were not something ordinary citizens should be involved in, but in this situation, they could not help but feel a sense of crisis.
And Padric’s shout as he entered the outer castle further amplified the anxiety of the citizens of the capital.
“Runs 1 to 5 search the east of the inner city, groups 5 to 10 search the south, groups 11 to 15 search the north, and the rest search the west! Detain all the nobles and bring them to the capital! If they resist, you can kill them!”
“yes!”
“Your Excellency the Marquis! What should we do?”
Padric, who was about to rush into the castle after giving orders to his soldiers, looked at Samuel with murderous eyes.
Hehe.
Samuel naturally cringes at that bloody force.
“From now on, martial law will be imposed on the entire capital! You will scan the entire outer castle, and if you find any nobles who have run away, arrest them!”
Fortunately, Padric gave them a mission that could be instrumental in taking over the capital.
“yes!”
“All right!”
“I will carry out this with all my heart.”
The small and medium-sized nobles who followed McLane each responded in loud voices, but Padric, who had no intention of listening to the answer, was already running toward the inner palace.
“Look at this. There’s nothing in here…!”
“Get out of the way! We will not tolerate defiance!”
“No, this is my house…!”
Udangtang.
As Padric was running, he could already see houses being overturned by soldiers everywhere.
Among them, the nobles’ mansions were in such disarray that it could almost be said that they were devastated, and what was accelerating the chaos were those who mobilized a small number of knights and private soldiers to block the entrances to the mansions.
“How dare you oppress nobles while rebelling?! Get back!”
Following the words of a fat nobleman, two knights under his command put pressure on the soldiers.
Judging by the red energy glimmering from their drawn swords, they are at least mid-level knights.
“No matter how ruthless a traitor is, he must maintain the minimum courtesy towards nobles! Looking at the soldiers, I can understand McLane’s level well!”
The soldiers hesitated and retreated due to the nobles’ strong opposition.
Padric himself took on the harsh resistance that attracted all the attention around him.
“Get out of the way!”
Sigh!
Padric, who shouted and intervened, cut off the head of an unknown nobleman who was claiming his legitimate rights.
“Hee hee!”
Padric, who caught a glimpse of the noble’s men being frightened, shouted at his soldiers who had stopped in front of the noble.
“If they resist, kill them! All the nobles who have power or troops within the capital must be captured! If you hesitate, you will die!”
“Yes old!”
As a fierce deadly creature attacked our soldiers, the soldiers quickly responded with white faces and hurriedly resumed the search.
And the moment they saw that scene, the necks of the other nobles who were trying to resist with private soldiers twitched at the same time.
From then on, things got a little easier.
“There are no exceptions! Arrest all nobles!”
Was he stimulated by that strong cry?
McLane’s soldiers became even more bold and began to search and destroy the nobles’ mansions.
bang!
“There are guys hiding here!”
“Take him out and tie him up!”
“Ack! You crazy bastards! You know who I am and how dare you…!”
Wow.
“ugh…?”
dump.
“Quickly tie it up and put it away! We’re going straight to the next mansion!”
The nobles’ struggles could no longer shake McLane’s soldiers.
“Hurry!”
While such horrific scenes continued to unfold throughout Grand’s castle, there were some nobles whose actions were slightly different.
“Heeik. Please just spare my life. Just my life.”
Even the coward who falls down and trembles as soon as the soldiers attack.
“I will not resist. Just guarantee the safety of my family and friends.”
There were also nobles who kneeled down on their own.
“Hahaha. I’ve been waiting. I’ll lend you my soldiers as well. I’m the cousin of His Excellency Count Floyd…”
There were also those who went one step further and offered to help, belatedly insisting that McLane be dismissed.
In this way, the capital, Grand, became a crucible of unprecedented chaos.
‘thank god. The nobles are being somewhat sorted out.’
Padric, who had played a part in creating such chaos by circling the inner castle, proceeded without hesitation towards the castle’s innermost castle.
“Chung! See you, my lord!”
The knights guarding the broken main gate of the royal castle saluted as soon as they saw Padric.
Instead of answering, Padric jumped off the horse as if he were flying.
“What about Logan?”
“You have entered the inner direction of Daejeon! The entire knights have set out to occupy the castle, and we remain on guard outside, just in case…” “I
understand. Thank you for your hard work.”
Padrick disappears after finishing what he had to say without even listening to the answer properly.
The knights, who were momentarily perplexed as they looked at the back, soon remembered their duties and turned their gaze to the outside.
The streets are completely chaotic.
It was a scene of introspection, as if it were a war zone, rather than investigation and detention as Padric had first ordered, but they just looked at the scene calmly.
Because the one who created the chaos was the lord they served.
– This is a rebellion. If we don’t completely subdue it, we will die.
Thanks to the master’s perfect logic, the knights were able to calmly accept the sight of the noisily destroyed streets.
“Oh! Chung! The outer palace has been suppressed.”
“Gasp! Lord! We have completed the suppression of the three inner palaces.”
Through Padric’s hurried steps, the greetings of knights who recognized him lined up.
But Padric simply nodded his head in response and walked quickly along the path his son assumed to have taken.
‘We subdued the royal castle and subdued the nobles of the capital. They might be the ones who ran away, but they can’t become the mainstream.’
My heart is pounding.
Is it because he guessed that the end of the civil war, in which he endured the worst, was approaching?
Just as his heart was beating exceptionally hard and he felt something strange, Padrick entered the already open door of Daejeon.
And without even realizing it, I stopped standing tall.
The first thing that caught his eye was the king’s body lying on the throne, vomiting blood.
“Hmm…”
Even though it was one of the things I was prepared to do, I had no choice but to stop for a moment, and my gaze naturally shifted to my son who was standing in the dark below.
The king’s blood had already begun to pool and harden.
The son was lost in thought as he watched it.
My son’s sword, which looked particularly clean, caught my eye for a moment.
‘…There’s really no turning back now.’
Padric bit his lip, feeling as if a heavy stone was weighing down his soul.
And only then did he make eye contact with his son, who had turned his gaze, and opened his mouth with difficulty.
