. Guardian of the Iron-Blood 'Empire'

(4)

There are numerous secret routes for the imperial family within the imperial palace.

Worst case.

Even if the enemies come all the way here, as much as the imperial family should escape.

Security was so important that only the imperial family should have known the location of these passages... .

How the hell did the stranger know exactly the secret passages of the imperial palace?

This is absurd...

In such a shocking situation, Weinstelln bit his lip.

Surprisingly, the rest of the nobles were the same.

"Shoe, there must have been a secret passage in the conference room."

I've been attending meetings here for 30 years, but I never knew there was a gap there.

I can't believe it.

While everyone was murmuring towards the aisle, Abraham walked up to McKency.

Are you okay?

McKenshie's face was flushed red as he had not yet cleared his anger.

Yes. That's fine.

speech that is insignificant.

However.

Abraham immediately grabbed Mackensh's arm.

Big!

A voice filled with pain came out.

Abraham's eyes narrowed.

Rice, it's not a big deal. I was slightly injured because I didn't inject mana properly...

McKenshie excused himself for being silly, but those words didn't come to Abraham's ears.

'no way Like this?'

arm is broken

When I saw it with the naked eye, I thought it was almost the same number... .

No, rather, I thought that McKency outperformed his opponents in terms of weight class and strength.

It was a complete mistake.

In that brief moment, the gnome exploded a mana that was so instantaneous that it was hard to notice with a sense of smell.

So I hadn't noticed.

Really, it's a natural and fast mana operation that makes you goosebumps.

'I didn't run away with a tail.'

Rather, if he had made up his mind, Mackensh's neck would have been lying on the floor.

right then

Weinstelln, stained with anger, approached.

Sir Abraham. Form a chase and chase after him. If we lose the infidels like this, there is a risk of losing trust in the neighboring kingdoms.

Your Majesty, before that, may I ask you one thing?

Abraham lowered his voice.

Looks like you have something to say. Tell me.

Are you sure you want to turn him into an enemy?

What does that mean?

It literally means. I think it would be better to concede to us rather than to be hostile with him and see blood.

Heh heh. He's said to have quite a useful skill, but isn't he nothing compared to you? Above all, when a big business is in front of you, you can't take the risk of embracing something you don't even know where he came from. set up.

The time has finally come for the seeds that have been thoroughly prepared for many years to germinate.

Now, in a little while, you will finally be able to meet the moment when you will rise to the position of an emperor rather than a noble.

For that, I sacrificed everything for over 10 years and made a plan.

To that end, he joined hands with Moorim, who has been fighting his whole life as an enemy.

However, Abraham, who thought he would immediately affirm his words, was surprisingly quiet.

It was hard to find confidence in the way he bit his lips with a hardened face.

...are you in the right order to worry so much?

To be honest, I think the odds of winning are 50/50.

50/50 win rate.

If it wasn't for Abraham who said this, no one would have believed it.

It's a natural thing.

If the most powerful knight in the Empire could only discuss half the win rate, who would be able to affirm it?

It's also against strangers you see for the first time.

I guess you mean it seriously.

Yeah. He's never under me when I see his ability to control mana and break McKensh's arm in one blow.

It was only then that Beisteln realized that the newly intervened variable was much more serious than he had expected.

This... I'll have to completely rewrite the board.

The worries didn't last long.

Gather all the leaders who participated in the event to my mansion. I think we should have a long talk over dinner. Of course, don't forget to make sure those loyal to the imperial family never know.

with a splash! with a splash!

After a long walk down the sewer.

Jinhyuk was able to come out through an alley on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

shit .

I was afraid that if I used mana, the reverberation would remain, so I just came here, and my ankles were wet very well.

Ttttttt. Didn't I tell you to be careful like that? After all, the noble wings of this body almost got filth. Why is the smell so disgusting? It doesn't suit me.

Elise, who was on her shoulder, covered her nose with her finger and complained.

I've come all the way here with people struggling to die.

My mouth is still alive on topics I'm comfortable with.

Jinhyuk gently grabbed Elise's wings.

And slowly reached out towards the water.

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! let go

Elise struggled all over her body.

I did not know the noble Jinjo, and I took him to such a shabby place. I really committed a mortal sin.

I'm sorry. Okay. Okay, so stop. Hey! These clothes are expensive!

Just one more time, and I'll let you test your cardio-respiratory performance in the water yourself. So be careful. I'll ask you a favor.

Uh huh.

great.

Jinhyuk put Elise on her shoulder again.

After taking a deep breath, Alice opened her mouth again with a hoarse voice.

So what are you going to do from now on?

What are you going to do?

You said you were going to eat the same side as the Empire? But if you play chess like this, you don't become a public enemy, do you?

Yes. It would be easy to think that way.

They broke into the conference room where the nobles were gathered and caused a commotion, so by now the guards of the entire capital will be busy trying to find this place.

However.

Rather, what I've done may have made one of them interested in me.

The empire is now divided into the aristocratic and imperial factions.

It is divided into two formations.

The Duke of Weinsteln and the Mackensies that we just fought with are all members of the aristocratic faction.

In the Empire, the Dong-A-Jul was not the gnomes, but the opposing forces loyal to the emperor and the imperial family.

There was a spark in the helpless emperor's eyes, so he made enough possibilities.

Huh. Did you start working on it with all that in mind? It wasn't just about leaving as I thought it would.

What the hell did you think of me?

That's of course evil... No, I think of you as a great contractor that will never come again. It's true.

Seeing Jinhyeok's fingers pointing towards his wings, Elise hurriedly turned away.

But, is it possible to fight with the imperial power alone? The duke's side has already joined hands with Moorim?

That's true, but we don't have to deal with the entire Moorim. There are cards that you can use and eat among them.

The ones I have been bumping into so far have been Moorim, which is made up of the five generations, the old file-bang, and the Sapa.

But there is another force here... .

They are the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church, which has just ended its closure.

Heavenly Demon... I've bumped into him a few times before. That guy is really awful. No matter how hard you are, it won't be easy to use, right?

It's up to you to do it.

He's tough to deal with, of course I know.

Where in the world can a man with middle school disease who can spit out frantic lines that there should be no one who disobeys him under the sky?

Even so, Jinhyuk was confident that even his personality would be included in the calculation.

It's always felt. You're always full of confidence.

Remember what.... Slowly get ready. We've reached our destination.

No matter how large the capital is, it will not be able to outrun all the guards.

You need a place to stay while you're here.

And the place .

It was already decided from the beginning.

Jinhyuk adjusted the amount of mana injected into Ellis.

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

With the bright light, Elise's height increased by nearly 160 cm.

Are you here?

Yes.

Rumble!

The door of one of the shanty towns where Jinhyeok was lined up opened.

OK.

You came just in time.

A familiar voice greeted them both.

A small room that can barely fit 4 people.

The one who occupied one side of the old wooden table .

It was Penheimer whom I met at the conference hall.

Isn't it too much for a safe house?

Jinhyuk grunted.

Although it is not a four-bedroom mansion with two bathrooms, I think this is a bit harsh.

He is one of the 100 Sword Masters of the Empire, but he spends the same level as a single guard.

Haha. A place like this doesn't stand out any more. Come on in, both of you.

As soon as Penheimer brought Jinhyuk and Elise inside, he locked the door tightly.

Even if it's shabby, we've got enough to eat instead.

From beverages such as water, wine, beer, and tea.

Cheese, sausage, bacon, and a variety of breads.

A banquet was prepared that was completely out of touch with the shabby interior.

Elise's eyes twinkled brightly.

For her, who is the greatest happiness in gastronomy, food in the new world always makes her heart beat.

Hey. It's not bad. This cheese and wine combination is quite satisfying.

While Elise was wiping her mouth with her cheeks inflated.

Penheimer looked at Jinhyuk with satisfied eyes.

It's a genuinely burdensome look.

"It seems that you really liked the performance in the conference hall."

Of course. It must have been a very difficult request, but Jinhyuk-nim gave me a result that exceeded my expectations.

With overwhelming force, the Guards Knights were knocked down.

He'll even break McKensh's arm, a tough one that the Empire has no match for.

I've never seen Sir Abraham, who was always so relaxed, so embarrassed. Of course, the expression on the Duke of Weinsteln's face was also quite worth seeing.

At this point, any further credentials would be meaningless.

I apologize for daring to test Jinhyuk. I swear in the name of Ibak von Pennheimer that I will never again doubt Jinhyuk's abilities.

thud!

Penheimer got down on one knee toward Jinhyuk.

The sword held in both hands touched the wooden floor.

It is an action with an example of an article.

Jinhyuk was taken aback by the sudden action.

'If it's for the revival of the empire, you can throw everything away.'

Otherwise, it would be unthinkable for a noble knight to kneel down and apologize.

Raise your head. I understand what you mean. Of course, if something like this happens again in the future, I will hold you accountable for the oath I made.

You don't have to worry about that.

Now then, tell me what plan Penheimer is thinking about. How will the Imperial Family move in the future?

I don't know if you know. You can never win this war with a divided power.

There was a serious talk.

It was also the result of piercing the essence and judging reality calmly.

" Maybe that's the case. The imperial family will never be able to secure a 'base' with the military power it possesses."

The first key point in the war against Moorim is who will secure the 'Holy Body of Giants' located on the 29th floor.

It was a major base for establishing a bridgehead in each other's domains, but

Because the giants were so powerful, neither faction could easily attack this place.

In the end, securing that area was the top priority in order to win.

That's right. You never know when the nobles will hit the back of the head. Above all, the information of the skilled sword masters on our side is all known.

What are your specialties and what are your favorite swordsmanships?

Even where you go to a restaurant.

This means that the nobles are already seeing through it.

I said that if you lose, you will win a hundred battles, but if that only applies to your opponent, then there is nothing as desperate as that.

so.

"I want Jinhyuk to take over that mission."

Pennheimer spoke absurdly with a calm face.

Yes?

what now... ?
