I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 177
# After returning, the family was ruined (178)
Squeak….
The sound of the outer castle gate going down, as strong as the long history of Agiles, was so loud that it gave me goosebumps.
Everyone fell silent for a moment at the sight, which was so outrageous. It was Felix who was feeling the greatest embarrassment. Baron Milton took over the position of commander of the outer castle walls.
He was one of the vassals who had always been loyal to him. He was also a vassal who did not see the light of day under his father.
That’s why, as soon as he took control of the family, he was handed a heavy responsibility unbecoming of a baron!
Opening the outer castle gate when the enemy is right in front of you?
It was an incredible sight.
What was even more terrible was the fact that Baron Milton was not the only traitor. Before he knew it, quite a few knights had gathered by his side, and that wasn’t enough…
“Wow!”
“Ahh!”
Screams erupted from all over the castle walls. Some of the warlocks were firing magic indiscriminately at their allies. The knights were not the only traitors.
Felix’s face was very distorted.
“What… is this!”
“Lord Soga! “The traitors must be dealt with!”
One of the retainers shouted urgently. In the distance, knights equipped with dark-colored heavy armor were running.
Dragon slayer!
Felix’s pupils shook greatly.
If internal division is not enough and external enemies also enter the outer walls.
Perhaps the surname Aguiles could have been completely discontinued at the time.
It was a crisis.
“Stop opening the gate! “Even if I kill all those kites!”
“Jonmyeong!”
Dark red magic flowed into the hands of the warlocks. Among them, the place where the darkest magic was concentrated was right on top of Felix’s hand.
“die!”
A tightly formed dark magic swept through the bodies of the knights.
The power of magical power that maximized only killing power was enormous. Knights blocking entry near the pulley of the castle gate. It’s not enough that their hard body armor is distorted so viciously…
Sigh!
Pop!
The necks of more than five traitors were snapped in one fell swoop.
Because it was a magic master, the level of the knights was not higher than that of the warlocks, but even taking that into account, it was an amazing sight.
The bodies of the knights who were fighting against the crowd of people flinched.
Ardan begins to move to punish Agiles.
Now that the head of the family was dead, there was no chance of victory. It was for that very reason that he chose to convert after being persuaded by Baron Milton.
I was assured that my life and position would be guaranteed if I only opened the outer castle gate.
What was the reason for the betrayal? In the end, wasn’t it to save his life? If I closed my eyes here, my conversion would have no meaning at all. As Felix approached step by step, the knights naturally took a step back.
His piercing, burning gaze was directed at Baron Milton, who was surrounded by knights.
“…I will make it so that you don’t feel comfortable even after death.”
“joy! The tide has already turned! Do you really not know that? Or are you just pretending not to know?”
“what?”
“Washing my neck quietly and waiting for Duke Ethan’s punishment won’t be enough! Walton! Bailon! “Follow me!”
Sreung!
Baron Milton’s sword was drawn.
He roughly pushed the knights out and pointed his sword at Felix.
Standing next to the Baron were the two most skilled knights among the converted knights. Felix, who saw the scene, sneered coldly.
“These kites… do you think they can fight me just because they gathered together?”
“Can’t you tell what’s long and short by just trying it once?”
Although he was answering enthusiastically, Milton’s hands were damp with sweat. Unlike Sogaju, who was known as an 8th rank wizard, he was at best a knight around the 7th level.
Although it is said that a knight has an advantage over a wizard, this only works when both parties are at a similar level.
Even with the help of the two knights, you won’t be able to hold out for long.
Even so, I couldn’t back down from this position. It still took more time before the outer gate was opened.
If you retreat here because you think your life is a waste, you may face an even more cruel death.
‘You just have to hold on for a little while!’
The sound of horses’ hooves getting closer by the minute. The Baron’s eyes sparkled.
The mana he had raised while risking his life was burning brilliantly on the sword.
Right then.
A huge magic circle appeared around Felix. The faces of the three knights stiffened at the unusual flow of magical power.
It was unclear what was being prepared, but it seemed clear that the magic circle had to be prevented from activating.
“attack!”
Two 7-star knights and 6-star knights.
The three knights quickly narrowed the distance towards Sojiazhu. However, the magic circle’s activation was more agile than their approach. For an instant, the knights’ eyes wavered. Next to Felix.
There was an evil energy floating around there.
Red eyes.
A face like a skull.
It’s a giant body that’s 3 meters tall, and its entire body is fully armored in dark-colored armor.
“Death Knight…?”
Milton’s eyes widened.
Nowadays, warlocks are active in sunny areas, but it was different in the past.
A period of oppression.
There was a time when people were labeled as evil demons and faced death just for learning black magic.
The warlocks, who had been oppressed for a long time, started a huge war, and tens of thousands of undead roamed the continent.
A time when high-ranking undead poured out thanks to abundant sacrifices.
Only after the two kingdoms collapsed was it possible to stop the warlock war. It wasn’t a complete victory.
It was just a kind of compromise.
After that, warlocks began to operate as one of the official schools of magic rather than as a public institution on the continent.
However, magic classes that were banned on all continents still existed.
A representative example was necromancy. An evil spell that brings the dead back to life.
Torture the living for eternity. The feelings of negativity that had accumulated over a long period of time were one of the forces that shined when resurrecting the undead.
The strength was proportional to the sacrifice, and the process was nothing short of terrible.
This was especially true in the process of summoning beings such as death knights and lichs, known as ‘high-ranking’ undead.
And what’s even more terrible.
The truth was that these high-ranking undead could be raised as undead whenever they killed a living being. Even after death, one wanders the world without being able to rest in peace.
That is why necromancy was banned. But now Felix was openly using necromancy.
“…Are you really crazy, Sogaju? “A death knight!”
“…You guys crossed the line first.”
Felix’s eyes sparkled.
Heidern abandoned them. This was a fact that could be clearly seen just by looking at the fact that they agreed to Ardan’s invasion. He also had brains.
Ardan, who has been on a formidable rise recently, and Agiles, whose power has been greatly reduced. The moment the two families face each other, a certain defeat is expected.
That’s why I looked for all kinds of ways to survive. Since he had the authority of the head of the family, there was no information he could not access. I learned that Agiles was researching magic that was much more dangerous and secret than I thought.
Necromancy Life Drain Soul Destruction.
All of them were magic banned on the continent, and they were magic systems with mind-boggling power.
Even if a large number of high-ranking warlocks had died, Agiles still had many treasures.
In the distant future.
There was no intention to leave Aguiles as one of the fallen families in the history books.
It was the kingdom that pushed him this far.
“Exterminate all the dirty traitors.”
-Follow orders.
The speed at which the Death Knight moved was too agile for its size. It wasn’t just speed. Before the two 6-star knights could react.
A sword overflowing with evil dark magic grazed their necks. It was a speed that even Milton, a 7-star knight, could not respond to. Suddenly, two necks appeared in the sky.
dump!
Milton’s complexion turned pale when he saw the two fallen corpses. The scene where the headless dead man was raised was as bizarre as that. Even the soldiers around him could not make a proper breathing sound. In strange silence, another body fell to the floor.
It was Baron Milton.
-Follow… my slaves….
Three headless corpses rushed towards the knights gathered at the outer wall.
“Du… It’s Dullahan!”
The sound of a sword fight erupted violently. A death knight who suddenly appears. Plus the living bodies of my colleagues.
It was a situation where even the knights who had experienced all kinds of hardships could not help but feel shaken. Every time the Death Knight swung his sword, his neck was cut off like rice in the harvest season. Death was spreading like an epidemic.
* * *
Heehee!
Hundreds of horses were galloping toward the outer castle gate. More than 70% were opened. It was a height that a horse could jump.
Ethan in the front row.
He frowned.
Starting from the soldiers stationed on the outer walls, to knights and warlocks. Even in a situation where the dragon slayer was right in front of them, their gaze was rather fixed inside.
And that too with a lot of fear.
‘There’s something there.’
but.
Even in the kingdom, they are one of the most powerful families in terms of black magic. Even if the head of the family and other high-ranking vassals died, there was no way it would fall apart so easily. It was clear that something had been done.
“I will go first. To lead the knights.”
“yes!”
After handing over command to Nerian, he jumped off his horse and raced towards the castle walls. After reaching the outer wall at a speed several times faster than that of a galloping horse.
once.
twice.
jumped towards the sky.
The overflowing mana naturally became a stepping stone. When I landed on the outer wall like that.
Ethan’s eyes narrowed.
Inside the outer castle, an evil energy was overflowing. It wasn’t difficult to figure out where that energy was coming from.
The sight of a huge creature chopping off the knights’ heads came into view.
‘A knight of death.’
That wasn’t the end. I could tell when I stepped on the outer wall. Inside was a huge magic circle.
Every time the undead killed a living creature, mana was being supplied to the magic circle. As if they were preparing some great magic.
The gaze was directed.
Toward the cunning warlock lurking behind the death knight.
Ever since he killed Himos, his relationship with Agiles has become irreparable. The reason for the Yeongjijeon was confirmed by the king. The winner had the right to confiscate everything from the loser.
Not only that, but what if the loser even used forbidden magic?
Summary execution would be natural.
Before I knew it, the death knight was running toward the outer wall where Ethan was located.
The time for punishment has arrived.
Flames rose above the divine sword.
