Chapter 248: ???????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????? (2)

Chapter 248: Gathering Storm (2)

The Seal Retriever that Johan was holding was one of the famous swords in the Empire where countless master swords roamed. Combined with Johan’s monstrous strength, even a thick slab of meat could have been cut in an instant.

However, the sensation felt at Johan’s fingertips was not the feeling of cutting through the enemy’s muscles and bones, but the feeling of cutting through a wall that seemed not to exist in this world.

‘It’s magic!’

With a wooden thud, the armor torn from the opponent’s body flowed down. The disappearance of light and mystery at the same time seemed to be some armor blessed by the spirit. Seeing that it blocked Seal Retriever’s blow, it must have been a high-ranking armor.

“Die, old man!”

When Johan couldn’t finish it, Euclyia behind Johan swung her spear like lightning. However, the old man who had already taken a hit was in a fighting stance.

As the centaur stomped down her spear, he grabbed it with both hands and stabbed it back, making Euclyia lose her balance and stagger.

“■■■!”

Euclyia was surprised and avoided the counterattack. An old man who would not be surprised if he dies of old age showed unexpected strength.

“This dirty Yeats b*stard dares to carry around the Seal Retriever?!”

The old man shouted in a voice that seemed to spit blood. Only then could Johan be sure of who his opponent was.

“Cardirian!”

━Pu heung!

“Show the proper courtesy in front of the rightful master of the Empire, you southern barbarian!”

“There is no courtesy to show to an unbeliever who arbitrarily executes nobles by himself. The nobles you killed want proper punishment!”

Johan’s voice echoed clearly amidst the chaotic ringing in his ears.

There was a reason why he bother to listen to his opponent’s words. Originally, he had no intention of listening to the emperor’s words, but now there were quite a few listening ears around.

No matter how loyal the soldiers and knights were, they didn’t like that their lord was evil and unjust. The more sensitive people of this era were to faith and superstition.

“Where is Karamaf’s corpse buried!”

The emperor growled and drew his weapon. It seemed to be a famous sword as well, as a creepy light flowed from it. Johan sneered and said,

“Dig it up and ask.”

“I will kill you!”

“You can’t, Your Majesty!”

Knights rushed in and desperately blocked the way. Johan shoved them aside aggressively, intent on not letting the emperor get away. A wolf jumped out from the side and bit the legs of the horses the knights were riding.

Still, the knights stood in his way at the risk of their lives.

“Rugdon of the Coburin family!”

“Rolph of the Blowhorn family.”

“I am Frederic of the Partwich family!”

Knights who won tournaments in the Empire and defeated famous monsters.

However, they could not hide their nervous expressions in front of Johan. Johan sneered and shouted,

“Aren’t you ashamed to gang up on one person while reciting your family names?”

At Johan’s words, the knight in front suddenly flushed. From behind, the emperor shouted.

“Don’t be fooled, you *ssholes!”

“It’s pathetic to remain loyal after hearing such words!”

Johan swung his sword with his words. The knight collapsed, spewing blood, unable to withstand the unexpected sword strikes from strange angles.

The emperor rode his horse and shouted,

“His strength is extraordinary. Since he defeated Karamaf, avoid a frontal fight and attack together!”

‘That b*stard. . .’

While the knights were hesitating to engage in one-on-one combat due to Johan’s remarks, the emperor poured cold water on them. Indeed, he immediately realized how to deal with Johan like a seasoned veteran who had rolled on the battlefield all his life.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

But Johan was not flustered. The situation itself was not bad.

‘The knights who need to control the surroundings have all gathered here. If this continues. . .’

Even though the emperor’s soldiers were extremely loyal, they had limits. Without proper support or command in a situation where they were ambushed and bombarded, they would eventually collapse.

And in this kind of melee, the most powerful force was the knights.

Knights, who had undergone grueling training since childhood and were clad in thick, sturdy armor, were difficult for soldiers to deal with easily. Even experienced and well-armed mercenaries were reluctant to face knights.

Now all the knights had gathered to save the emperor, so hell must have broken loose on the other side.

‘If we keep inflicting more damage like this. . .’

“You f*cking morons! Why did you all gather here instead of the ambush site! Not only did you allow the ambush but you’re making such stupid moves! You’re more stupid than trolls!”

“Y-Your Majesty! If you don’t escape first. . .”

“Isn’t that too harsh?”

“No. I was originally going to say they don’t keep a group unless they buy slaves.”

Suetlg’s voice was full of fatigue and sarcasm thanks to the great magic he had used. As Gerdolf supported him, Suetlg thanked him and sat down.

“Somehow it worked out well. I didn’t expect to encounter the emperor here. . .”

“We were lucky.”

“Yes. Heaven helped us. I think it’s safe to say God loves you now.”

It was a fight that wouldn’t have been strange to take several more years, but to win by meeting like this. Suetlg thought luck was definitely following them.

‘But the ability to pick up and grab luck is also a skill.’

Most people didn’t know how to use luck even when they encountered it. Only the brave and daring knew how to seize and use that luck.

“Did you attack because you were confident you could win? Did you get intelligence that discipline had collapsed? Or did you turn someone?”

“No, we just fought and if it didn’t work out we planned to retreat and spread rumors.”

“. . . . . .”

Suetlg was at a loss for words.

He was a little embarrassed about the praise he had just given inwardly.

“Was that really it?”

“If not, why would I gamble like that? Because I was confident I could retreat if the situation was unfavorable.”

“When asked, say you received a revelation from God before the charge. I need to rest.”

Feeling empty, Suetlg got up. He was thinking of lying down for a bit in the tent.

“Ca. . .ener. . .na. . .”

As Olafsethan murmured Caenerna’s name again, Johan was puzzled.

Suetlg had been blunt, but the truth was, having been in the emperor’s court for a long time, it wouldn’t have been strange for Caenerna to have a lover or two. Moreover, Olafsethan was of the emperor’s bloodline, so it wouldn’t have been surprising if Caenerna took a liking to him.

“I will kill you. . .”

“. . . . . .”

Johan made an uncomfortable expression.

‘Definitely not a lover.’

????????????????????????

While the feudal lords around were spreading rumors and telling this joyful news to others who were elsewhere, Olafsethan regained his spirit.

And Olafsethan wondered if he should be happy or angry that he was now in the camp of Count Yeats.

While he was fortunate enough to have his life saved, he couldn’t tell if being captured like this was a good thing.

“I have to do what I can in this situation now.”

Olafsethan expressed his gratitude in an authoritative voice from his sickbed. Then he explained the situation as plausibly as possible.

“. . .And so I decided to prepare poison to end the tyranny.”

“Oh. . .”

‘It’s working!’

Indeed, this remark had an effect. The other feudal lords present also looked at Olafsethan with quite different eyes.

Olafsethan cried out in a grieving voice.

“But who would have known that the wizard who helped me was a damned traitor?! Court wizard Caenerna betrayed me and reported me to the emperor! Curse that wizard!”

“Olafsethan-nim. I think. . . you should be careful what you say.”

“. . .Jyanina? No. Why are you here, Jyanina-gong?”

“Whatever happened, it may not have been Caenerna-gong’s fault, right?”

“What do you. . . Who else could have betrayed me if not that wizard. . .”

As his eyes met Johan’s while he was about to get angry, Olafsethan inadvertently changed what he was saying.

“. . .Come to think of it, there could have been another informant.”
