I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 63
#When he returned, his family was ruined (64)
Contrary to the worries of the nobles, there was no significant armed conflict. That’s because they took care of it first and got out of the way.
The carriages and knights entered along the naturally open road, revealed their identities, and then passed through the outer castle and entered the inner castle.
Senern’s resistance.
The heads of the two factions were already gathered there. And that too, accompanied by a group of knights who were giving off a formidable force.
The two counts saw the knights entering the castle.
A group of knights wearing pitch-black gear and a carriage entered.
‘The Archduke.’
The two counts had a hunch.
After he fell a long time ago.
It was like meeting him again after ten years.
The Archduke got off the carriage, looked at the knights standing behind the two counts, and smiled.
It was an obvious ridicule.
“You brought along a lot of knights. Are you going to accompany them to the conference hall as well? “Then I guess I’ll have to rent a large auditorium.”
The two counts were silent.
Right now, the number of knights from the six families was over two hundred.
Despite the huge number of knights looking at the Archduke and his knights.
In fact, starting with the Archduke and even his knights, there was no response.
As if he doesn’t care about you one bit.
The intention to gain momentum at the first meeting had completely failed.
“…don’t worry. “I plan to bring only the knight commanders of each family as escorts.”
Six nobles and a prince.
They moved towards the conference room located in the inner castle.
* * *
“From now on, we will hold a meeting of elders…”
Before Chaiman finished speaking.
“Count Irdan.”
“…?”
“Reduce taxes according to the level of the vassal contract and ban the circulation of Dragon Clan God Books.”
“What…what?”
“I won’t tell you twice. If you don’t comply, I’ll understand that you’ll have a fight with me.”
Irdan was embarrassed.
The event has not yet been completed. What kind of people exist like that?
It was that moment.
“What is the answer?”
the archduke asked.
And that too with a gaze that seems to be looking down from above.
Irdan trembled with a feeling of extreme humiliation.
“…Really arrogant.”
That was the moment Irdan finished speaking. Jarrid, the knight commander of the Count of Amelton, gained momentum.
7 star knight.
In other words, it was the spirit of someone who was called a great knight.
A heavy pressure was exerted across the conference room. The faces of the nobles gradually became grayer. This is because they could not completely block that momentum with the level of guard knights they had.
However, there were also people who drank tea leisurely.
One was Chayman, who brought an escort of his own rank, and the other.
It was the Archduke.
All the nobles gathered here were shocked. Even the pressure of a 7-star knight seems to be shedding it off as if it’s nothing!
What was surprising was Jaried, who was applying pressure.
There was a suffocating silence in the hall for a moment.
“What a cocky bastard.”
Ethan spoke like he was throwing open two pills. An explosive amount of mana flowed from the heart.
Most of the mana was gathered in one place. It was his finger.
The moment you snap your fingers.
A small chunk of mana compressed to its limit flew out.
The place it was heading to was where Count Irdan was located.
bang!
Irdan’s eyes widened at the noise that erupted in front of him.
Before he knew it, Jarid was standing in front of him, holding out his sword and blocking something.
Immediately afterwards, he shouted while glaring at the Archduke.
“…What are you doing!”
“You were openly showing off your energy. “Didn’t you mean to have a fight with me?”
“….”
Jarid fell silent at Ethan’s words. It almost makes me want to hit the archduke with my drawn sword.
But I couldn’t move as I wanted. Not only was the owner, Irdan, not in a situation where he wanted to fight.
‘…It’s harder than I thought.’
The sword that blocked the mana was trembling. The Archduke’s skills were much higher than he expected.
It means throwing out materialized mana.
That meant that his mana control was beyond imagination.
Even if we fight, we won’t be able to gain the upper hand right away.
Irdan’s eyes wavered when he saw Jarid hesitating.
‘…Was it that bad?’
It’s enough to make a 7-star knight lose his composure. It may be that the Archduke’s skills are greater than expected.
In fact, the knight commander next to Chaiman also widened his eyes as if he was surprised.
“…I didn’t manage my subordinates properly. “I’m sorry, Grand Duke.”
Irdan immediately apologized.
Here, any further conflict with him due to pride would inevitably be a loss.
This was especially true when it was confirmed that his skills were greater than expected.
What if a battle breaks out?
Chayman and other faction members will leave on their own.
If that happened, only he would suffer a loss.
That’s huge too.
It would be better to avoid it than to deal with a mad dog.
Ethan nodded.
‘The mood has been set.’
He really didn’t even intend to stab me here.
Right now, even a 7-star knight is a difficult entity to deal with.
Considering the number of knights belonging to Irdan’s faction, he himself would have risked his life in the event of a sword fight.
Nevertheless, the reason why we went so aggressive from the beginning was to gain momentum.
This was an enemy camp.
It was obvious that once the push started, there would be no end.
So I had to prove it once. That he is a crazy dog who is not easy.
Luckily, Irdan wasn’t stupid. Because he was starting to show a more cautious attitude.
“What is the answer?”
“…Why are you doing this to me? Count Chaiman’s side too…”
“They have already accepted my request a long time ago.”
“…!”
Irdan looked at Chayman and had a hunch.
Bastard!
He must have escaped alone.
Chaiman smiled leisurely after seeing Irdan. As expected, it was Irdan that the Archduke started biting.
Whether Irdan agreed or disagreed with that statement, he had nothing to lose.
Of course I had no intention of helping him.
The bigger the conflict between the two, the more beneficial it will be for you.
Chayman was looking at the Archduke and Irdan like a spectator watching a fun game.
in between.
Irdan and Ethan’s eyes met.
Should we follow the Archduke’s words?
That crazy guy might actually have pulled out his sword the moment he objected.
‘But I can’t agree with that.’
His own faction did not have the elements to look into the future and endure like Chayman, who had a successor.
It is an ambiguous situation to agree or oppose.
Irdan was troubled.
* * *
The knights lined up outside the castle.
Their eyes were focused on the black-armed knights.
The momentum generated by the thirty or so knights was sharper than expected.
It had the same force as a well-forged master sword.
however.
That did not stop the Red Lion Knights belonging to the Earl of Amelton.
“Dragon slayer? “What a ridiculous name.”
Someone said something in a voice that could barely be heard.
Ponce, deputy commander of the Red Lion Knights.
Today he had a special mission.
It was to flatten the flag of the knights who came to the enemy camp.
This was an order that came directly from Count Irdan.
As a knight loyal to the count, he had no intention of refusing orders.
It was that moment.
“What did you just say?”
A harsh voice was heard.
Ponce’s eyes lit up when he saw the article.
Nerian.
He was the leader of Viscount Dekun’s knights. Since he was one of the six-star knights, it was impossible to know him without knowing him.
Even though they had the same 6 stars, Pons was one step ahead of Nerian.
‘You got caught.’
He smiled inwardly and answered confidently.
“I said it was a ridiculous name.”
“How dare you disrespect the Archduke?”
“Ha, I can’t even talk to myself the way I want? Besides, are you trying to over-interpret something that doesn’t matter?”
An evil spirit bloomed in Nerian’s body.
The past two weeks.
That was enough time for the Dragon Slayer to be influenced by the Archduke.
It was the same for Nerian.
I knew at least that the author was deliberately creating a fuss.
however.
It was obvious that if I stayed here, my lord’s face would be damaged.
There were so many eyes watching.
A situation in which not only themselves, but also their master, could not help but become a laughing stock.
It is unlikely that the Archduke instructed the Dragon Slayer Corps to endure this situation.
It was right then.
Lawrence, who had been standing still among the knights, began to walk forward. Ponce saw that and tilted his head.
‘No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t look like it’s a knight…’
“…Who are you?”
“I am the Archduke’s advisor.”
“so?”
“The Red Lion Knights. “The name is a lion, but the behavior it shows is no different from that of a rat.”
“…what?”
“He said he was no different from a rat.”
The faces of the knights belonging to the Red Lion Knights became grim.
The dragon slayer group, seeing this, immediately gained momentum.
Lawrence.
He was a tactician whom the Archduke used very seriously. There must be some reason why he acts like that.
The dragon slayer escorted Lawrence without hesitation.
“Are you dissatisfied?”
“under. then?”
“Let’s solve it with actions instead of words.”
“Are we going to have a duel now?”
“yes. The losing side kneels. “In front of everyone.”
Ponce smiled.
This was the situation he had hoped for.
He knows that Nerian, the knight leader of the Dragon Slayer Order, is less skilled than him.
‘At best, they are just articles collected from barons and self-authors.’
Because there was bound to be a difference in level from the count’s elite knights.
“What is the format?”
“I guess it’s a misjudgment and it’s best of three.”
“I won’t use weeds since it’s near the conference hall. “The format of the game will be a winning streak system.”
All Irdan wanted was to press the bridge of his nose flat.
If even salt was used here, a factional fight could have broken out with the Confederacy.
So, this would be just the right amount to press the bridge of your nose.
If you defeat three knights at once through the winning streak, the reputation of the Dragon Slayer will fall to the ends of the earth.
Lawrence nodded at those words.
“great.”
The knights’ eyes lit up at the sudden conclusion of the duel.
‘Of course the Red Lion will win.’
Among the 6-star knights, Pons was a renowned knight.
Moreover, he was also a knight of the count family. Even people of different factions began to secretly support the knights of the Earl of Amelton.
Still, it was better for the 10th branch of the same collateral family to win rather than the Archduke.
Ponce stepped forward confidently.
It was Nerian who came out to deal with him.
Two people took out swords.
bang!
The sound of sword strikes echoed through the training hall.
One sum.
Two sums.
As the sum continued, Pons’ face began to wrinkle little by little.
‘…what?’
Nerian.
I knew that he used a sword technique mixed with the techniques of the dragon race. But I never imagined it would be this subversive.
Sigh!
Sharp sword strikes began to take place everywhere.
Even though they launched a strong offensive, the center was deeply rooted like a giant tree. Ponce began to move back little by little.
‘Are you pretending to be pushed away?’
Even the knights who thought that way at first had no choice but to change their minds as soon as the ten sums were exceeded.
This is because Ponce was seen frantically blocking the sword attack due to Nerian’s strong offensive.
By the time I turned 30, my whole body was full of scars.
When the sword strike reaches 50 sum.
A sword lay in front of his neck.
“Do you want to give in?”
As many as two hundred knights were watching.
I had no choice but to give in.
It was a clear defeat.
“I lost…I lost.”
oh my god!
The famous deputy knight commander of the Red Lion was defeated by the knight commander of the Dragon Slayer Order?
The knights were dumbfounded by the unexpected situation.
Nerian’s eyes lit up.
Pons.
Just two weeks ago, I would never have beaten him.
But it was different now.
The Archduke’s teachings.
Because Nerian had it embodied in his entire body.
A second sparring followed soon after.
This time, it was a 6-star knight who emerged from the Red Lion Knights.
However, it was no match for Nerian. A breathing method that actively adopts the techniques of the dragon tribe.
It was quickly restoring Nerian’s strength.
Is that knight commander really going to win all three games?
While everyone was swallowing their saliva, the third duel continued.
Everyone rubbed their eyes as even the third 6-star knight began to fall behind at once.
Soon, a sword touched the knight’s neck.
“Do you want to give in?”
“…I lost.”
oh my god!
The Red Lion Knights lost.
And that too three times in a row against just one knight.
Lawrence looked at Ponce calmly. The deputy commander’s face had already turned pale for a long time.
