9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 152

Episode 152

Episode 59. Purge of the Rose Society (3)

“Kuheuk! cool!”

Sheila let out a belated moan.

Blood flowed from the severed right arm.

I struggled to resist, but it was impossible. Yuma pressed the back of her neck, completely suppressing her.

‘What power!’

It felt like a steel pillar was crushing me. It was clear that even the slightest wrong move would break the vertebrae of his neck and kill him.

What a disgrace in front of Natalie and her men!

Sheila never knew that one wrong word would cost her so much.

Wow…!

“Aagh!”

In Yuma’s hands, bloody veins gushed out. Sheila couldn’t stand the rattling pain in her neck and finally let out a scream.

“I should have politely apologized.”

“Cheuk! guest!”

“Sheila!”

Sureureung! The moderates drew their weapons.

However, he couldn’t immediately jump in to save Sheila.

From their point of view, Sheila was a colossal monster. Even the most sword masters couldn’t survive by attacking her.

However, Yuma subdued such Sheila as easily as a mad dog. At a speed that the eye couldn’t even follow.

The hardliners rolled their eyes but did not draw their weapons. It was because there was no order from Natalie.

again and again.

Natalie moved toward the fallen Sheila.

Yuma’s sudden use of force was unexpected, but she decided to follow his methods.

Cheryl calmly watched the situation.

Yuma was a human who escaped by breaking through the lord’s castle after killing Heize.

If the situation turns unfavorable, there was no need to worry, as they could easily escape the rose society annex even without the Ancient Wolf.

“Sheila. Now you have the right eye level. Oops… the smooth face is messed up. So why are you looking at me? Hey, wipe your face.”

One of the hardliners ran over and wiped Sheila’s face with a handkerchief.

Sheila trembled, completely losing her will to fight.

While living as the former ruler of the underworld, she rarely experienced the emotion of ‘fear’.

Even though he had withdrawn from the position of Hoeju, it was still common to see people in Haseo who would get tingling at the mention of Sheila’s name.

She ran the rose society in a cruel and vicious way during her days as the Hoiju.

Even after Natalie became the head of the society, some of her influence remained, so there was nothing to be afraid of in the world.

But now she was feeling the fear of death.

Yuma didn’t know, but Natalie’s conversation wouldn’t go very well, so it was wise to beg for her life. Once you survive, you can take revenge or whatever.

“It’s great… I’m sorry, Hoeju. I was frivolous. Release it and talk to me again.”

“oh. I wish I had figured out the subject earlier, Sheila. Then you wouldn’t have to look so bad. Since her right arm was cut off, it would be difficult to eat…

Natalie received a bloody handkerchief from her subordinate and began to slowly wipe Sheila’s face herself. Natalie’s shadow fell over Sheila as she crouched down.

In an instant, the heavy handkerchief dripped blood.

“Hoeju. Big! If you kill me, internal strife will inevitably arise.

Now, let’s talk properly…

“You’re still out of your mind, Sheila.”

Natalie said that and nodded towards Yuma.

Bambak Piseoseok.

It was the sound of Sheila’s neck breaking and shattering.

Her whole body convulsed for a moment, and then she died. It was a terribly futile death of the former leader of the Rose Society.

Sheila couldn’t even scream in agony. There was silence as if cold water had been poured inside the outbuilding.

“It’s a protest. That’s a story when the forces are boiling.”

Yuma looked at Sheila’s corpse and said dryly. However, the heavy voice full of energy was enough to make the legs of the janchaengs shake.

“We’re here to purge, not talk.”

While absorbing the rose hoe, there was no choice but to bleed. Yuma had no plans to spare any of the members of the Rose Society who had bared their teeth at Natalie.

If left alive, he might come someday to get his revenge in some way.

Either committing terrorism at the Puang Merchant, or capturing powerless servants of the Merchant and using them as hostages.

At first glance, it looks like a heinous massacre, but by Yuma’s standards, it was a very generous purge.

If it had been the imperial family instead of the rose society, the person who was being purged as well as his family and relatives would have been hanged in the plaza.

Yuma turned around and shifted his gaze to the moderates. The moderate members flinched involuntarily and took a backward step.

“what? Why did you draw the knife? I am a traitor. Are you advertising?”

“Sir! It’s true that Sheila spoke carelessly. But I don’t think that’s a reason to be killed at the hands of an outsider.”

A young man from the moderate side stepped forward and said:

“Right.”

Natalie again took the dagger from her bosom and threw it.

The young man was not as powerful as Sheila. He couldn’t react, and the straight dagger pierced his heart.

As the young man collapsed, Natalie continued.

“It sounds like you are talking about following the rules of Jang Mi-hee. Then, you guys who drew weapons against me, master of the ship, aren’t worth keeping alive, right?”

“We didn’t rebel against Lord Hui!”

“It’s a piece of shit, really.”

Natalie was truly ashamed of Yuma.

He had no idea that the hierarchy would collapse so much just because he had been away for a few months.

While Yuma was gone, he had guessed it when he went back and forth between Haseo and the empire, but the former lords seemed to have created a bigger force than expected.

Siririric!

Natalie raised her energy and swung her chainsword.

Natalie, the queen of poison. With each passing of her hand, two or three moderate members died.

“Aagh!”

The chainsword moved flexibly and smoothly like a long ribbon.

However, the sharp steel blade is surrounded by a terrifying aura. The central hall of the outbuilding quickly became the scene of a bloody and fleshy slaughter.

While Natalie kills nearby renegades, the hardliners decapitate the fleeing members of the Clan.

The situation ended in an instant. In the first place, except for Sheila, among the traitors, there were no properly skilled people.

Moreover, comparing it to a war, it was like Yuma killing the enemy general at once, so the ragtags who lost their commander couldn’t even resist properly.

“You gave the king one reason to disband the Rose Society.”

The rose society was not completely free from the influence of Haseoguk’s garrison as before. It was because the king no longer gave indulgences.

Even after committing a murder from early evening, there was no way to avoid being investigated.

There was not much time because the internal affairs of the rose meeting would be known to King Haseo-guk.

He had to select only the necessary and loyal figures from among them and bring them to the empire.

“A guy who only sucks on sweet water doesn’t deserve to be a king.”

“sympathy.”

Clots of blood spread like tumors all over the marble floor. Natalie stepped on the bloody water, pulled out her pipe, and asked. The smell of cigarette smoke rose through the thick smell of blood.

Natalie, the wicked woman of Haseo.

The nickname was not for nothing.

Even among the corpses, Yuma and Natalie’s expressions did not change much. But Cheryl’s face was a bit blank.

“It takes a lot of effort to save a person. When I see so many people die in a short period of time, I sometimes feel empty.”

“They say she’s a battlefield saint, so that’s true. I hate soft stories.”

Natalie sneered softly.

“…I don’t really have any objection to killing the guy I want to kill.”

“I like that.”

Natalie put her arm around Cheryl’s shoulder and gathered her hardliners.

“Have any of the traitors managed to escape?”

“doesn’t exist!”

“Which of you is injured?”

“doesn’t exist!”

“Nothing. Even those who have been slightly cut, get checked by this unnie once in a while. Because she is a very kind-hearted sister. Check the standard decryption.”

The standard reading was a story about the popular poison of rose society. The weapons used by the members of the Rose Society were basically poisoned.

Natalie’s men scratched their heads and approached Cheryl one by one.

Seril took care of the members’ injuries without saying anything.

“It’s good to have a healer. Carry the valuables inside the outbuilding to storage 1 2 3. This outbuilding is scrapped as it is without any follow-up.”

The investigation by Haseoguk’s garrison was scheduled to begin within today. As before, it was obvious that various foreclosure measures for the annex would naturally come in, since it could not be passed on quietly as before.

Anyway, the new headquarters of the Rose Society was to be built in the Empire.

At that time, the Rose Society will break out of its shadowy shell and become an intelligence agency under Baron Drake.

“When the transportation is over, you guys hide in the leaves and the west wind. I will give you a call within a week.”

Leaf and west wind were slang words for the Rose Society’s retreat. As a dark house, the Rose Society possessed numerous hideouts and secret warehouses within Haseoguk.

It was unreasonable to transport all the riches of the secret storage to the empire. Natalie told them to set aside the most valuable and light items among them.

“And where are Dan and Dawn?”

Dan and Dawn were the two sword masters who escorted Natalie when Yuma and Puang first came to Haseo.

They were people Natalie trusted as much as Chen.

At Natalie’s question, a strange atmosphere flowed among the members.

“Dun-hyung is captured by the Jeondae Hoesu group, and Dan-hyung is a moderate wave…

“I understand.”

A shadow fell on Natalie’s face when she heard the news of the two.

After the instructions were over, Yuma and the others took a wagon and left the annex.

Pulling the wagon was a subordinate who informed Natalie of the Dan and Dun brothers.

Now that this has happened, it would be better to immediately depart for the capital of Haseo and raid the headquarters.

“Dan and Dawn are the guys I grew up with in the back alley. Looks like Dawn is being held hostage.”

Having known each other since childhood, Dan and Dawn were close friends and subordinates to Natalie. When Natalie was a freshman, there was a time when Dan and Dawn were her seniors.

Natalie, the villainess, was cruel and cold-hearted, but she wasn’t the type to turn a blind eye to her captured relatives.

“He must have used drugs to crush Dunn’s mind. Because of that, Dan must be in a position to help the moderates. The lords of the previous generation caught my weakness well.”

“They must live.”

“Well, I don’t know if I can.

Even if I don’t know Dan, Dawn may not be the person I already knew.”

Natalie leaned against the window sill of the carriage and recalled the past for a moment.

The time he had been through with Dan and Dun, who had always been by his side since childhood.
