Episode 782 Heirloom Stolen (4)
Within seconds, the man felt the eyes of the allied soldiers and jumped off his horse.
“Oh, that’s good. It looks like you want to bury your bones in the plain.”
“If you can, do it. It won’t be easy.”
“I hope you can be confident enough to say that. Let me give you a number. Come first.”
in front of the soldiers.
The fact that a duel between a knight and a soldier would be disrespectful, so the man conceded.
“You will regret it.”
The soldier’s new model seemed to grow longer, and soon a sword poured over the man’s head.
Swallowed in vain by his unexpected sword skills, he quickly rolled on the floor.
It just wasn’t fast enough to stop it.
If I hadn’t avoided it at all, I would have been decapitated by now.
Maybe it’s because the way he avoided it was quite unseemly.
I could feel the soldiers’ gazes from behind were not the same as before.
As much as his pride was hurt, the broken man raised his life.
“He must have been a man of some talent.”
“You didn’t say you regretted it. Conceding a hand in a sacred duel is just the result of your arrogance.”
“Shut up!”
The man swung his sword.
The sharpness on the blade is not common.
The middle-aged man gave off a sword aura on his face and gently took the man’s sword with his sword face.
Taang-!
Kaaaang-!
As soon as the sword was let go, the man’s arms opened wide with the sound of metal friction.
“I won.”
He gripped the sword tightly with both hands and thrust it hard into his chest.
however.
TOOOOOOONG!
The one who appeared to be the commander hit the sword face with the palm of his hand.
Thanks to this, the trajectory was greatly distorted, and the man only received a cut on his side.
“Aww!”
“I am sorry for interfering in the duel. Admit defeat.”
As if he had no will to fight, the commander did not draw his sword.
The middle-aged soldier also backed down, believing that he had stopped the sword attack with at least a gesture of his hand.
Only the man shouted as if he couldn’t admit it.
“Your Excellency Marquis! I can still fight!”
“Sir Annie lost the duel. If I hadn’t used my hands, it would have been a wonder to bury the bones in the plain.”
Reprimand lingered in the tone.
“I don’t know which kingdom it is, but to have a talented person like you disguised as a soldier to guard this place. I didn’t have a good feeling. There may be an ambush, so let’s make a stop here. Unpack your bags. We camp here today.”
At the words of the Marquis, the allied forces skillfully began preparing for camp.
After clearing things up with a few words, he came closer and asked.
“Please tell me your name.”
There was a lot of emotion in the friendly eye smile.
The fury that caused the Allied movement to stop.
And the hostility towards the fact that the momentum of the soldiers was broken in an instant.
I heard a little bit of fear from the marquis who put all of them and asked for his name.
“Wilhelm van Schneider. I am the Ten Commander guarding the post on the Lawfield Plains.”
“Chief ten. Is it a talented person like you? Even the lord here doesn’t have eyes to see.”
It was a look that didn’t believe it even though he said so.
“Go away today. But there will be no next.”
The ten thousand allied forces began to be blocked for the first time by the four kingdoms.

After renting a carriage, Ray headed straight to the principality.
I know that the elder figure of the Black Room has headed to Celia, but there are not many places to go.
Besides, my parents and Lacia are at home, and the forest in Grandel is empty.
Assassination of the sword master’s king in the royal castle was also close to impossible, so there was nothing else to worry about.
Heukyoung, who was driving the wagon at high speed, spoke.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to track down stolen heirlooms?”
“no.”
Ray shook his head.
Of course, getting back what was stolen is important.
But even so, the coalition and the black room could not move at a time like now when they were moving troops in earnest.
Even if the troops you see right now are in the Lowfield plains, you don’t know if they’re rolling their own troops in an unknown place.
Likewise, Soyoung, who was sitting in the coachman’s seat, received the words.
“A war might break out, so is that heirloom important?”
“This is the thing that Heukbang wanted so much to acquire. Whether that’s a thing or not is still unknown.”
“What’s the use if the kingdom is destroyed and found? The principality might not be able to stop it.”
Hearing her words, the black spirit also shut up.
Certainly, the power of the coalition and the black room was beyond imagination.
Right now, there are ten thousand troops stationed on the Lawfield Plain.
Even if the quantity was simply enormous, it was not difficult to deal with because they were all well-trained soldiers.
In addition, since the distance was quite far from the principality, it was clear that they would react first the moment they moved their troops to fight.
“I know you’re sensitive, but this isn’t the time to fight among ourselves.”
“I apologize.”
“sorry.”
Ray thought about the future.
As long as Allied forces are stationed on the Lawfield Plain, war is inevitable.
It’s because it’s obvious why he placed troops on a plain where there’s nothing to gain.
‘It’s either buying time or attacking the nearby kingdom right away.’
If the already numerous allies and reinforcements arrive, there is not much time for the neighboring kingdoms to hold out.
Even Baybon or Gleiman, who could be called a great power, did the same.
If anything, they could occupy the small kingdom located below and take food or resources, so it was safe to say that they were at a disadvantage now.
“Let’s move faster.”
“I’m trying, but beyond this, words are the limit.”
As if in response, the horses pulling the wagon grunted.
Hee hee hee-!
It is already said that there is no limit.
Ray used magic.
“Haste.”
As the steps became lighter, the speed of the horses became much faster than before.
Rather than fighting, as they run each other, the dark spirit begins to speed up to the point where it is difficult to control.
“Is this okay?”
Embarrassed Soyoung asked, but Ray only increased the speed of the horses.
“Run!”
hee hee hee-!
Even if it is not, the lineage itself is the count’s horses that are specialized in running.
Let’s add magic to it, and now it’s almost to the point of flying in the forest.
“Uh uh...”
It was the first time driving such a crazy carriage, so Dark Young had to focus on turning.
Instead of suffering, the carriage headed towards the Duchy of Soleil at high speed.
