I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 72
＃When I returned, my family was ruined (73)
The moment the freedom fighter took up the sword.
The morale of the residents soared to its peak. The Count called himself a rebel, but he was not.
The Archduke is supporting their resistance.
A count who practiced tyranny.
The Archduke, a merciful monarch.
It was clear to me which of the two I should listen to.
The knights gathered around the archduke.
“depart.”
“yes!”
Over one hundred articles.
They answered in unison and followed behind the Archduke. The freedom fighter who was looking at this held his sword tightly as if he had made up his mind.
“Grand Duke! Even though it’s not enough, I want to help the Archduke! “Can you please take me with you?”
He looked at Marcus and nodded.
It was the moment when the freedom fighter moved towards the archduke’s back.
The residents of the territory shouted loudly one by one, as if they had made up their minds.
“Please take me too! “I will fight as hard as I can!”
“me too…!”
Loud!
It was when the main street became noisy.
“quiet!”
The voice of the knight carrying the mana rang out. In silence, the knight looked at the archduke.
“Grand Duke. “What are you going to do?”
“Let them do as they please.”
“yes!”
It was a quiet voice, but everyone heard it. The residents of the territory carefully followed the knights.
The number was increasing explosively as we headed towards the inner city.
* * *
“Big…big trouble!”
I was in such a hurry that I opened the door without even knocking.
Irdan swallowed his saliva and asked, looking at the deacon’s disheveled appearance.
“…What on earth is happening?”
“The outer…the outer wall has been breached! “It is said that the Archduke himself visited Toledo!”
“…what?”
The Count’s expression became puzzled.
It’s still not a good situation. Public sentiment was also at its worst.
In this situation, even the Archduke appeared?
“How…”
Archduke.
At best, I was certain that he had suffered serious injuries that would require him to recuperate for several months.
The fact that the rumor about the assassination spread so quickly was thought to be revenge from the Confederacy.
‘I was able to endure it.’
If I had had a little more time, I would have figured out a way.
But it was different now. Irdan swallowed his saliva and asked.
“…What is the Archduke’s physical condition?”
“That…”
“Say it quickly!”
“On the outside… he seemed completely normal.”
“….”
At this moment, Irdan’s head was rolling at the fastest speed in his life.
Is the Archduke’s physical condition normal?
In fact, didn’t he force himself to move when given the situation when even movement was difficult?
The hopeful observation was only temporary.
‘What if that’s not the case?’
What if the knights who sent the assassination failed to inflict even a single wound on the archduke?
This is a family I never wanted to imagine. But somehow it seemed like that.
Fear welled up in the count’s heart.
‘Can I hold on?’
What if I held on with my inner door tightly locked?
The outer sex is already out of control.
The morale of the remaining private soldiers in Naeseong was poor.
Fortunately, the knights are still loyal, but as the siege continues, their loyalty will gradually crack.
‘If the archduke’s physical condition is normal…’
Gulp.
Viscount Dekun and Viscount Itun.
I heard how two self-authors collapsed.
It is said that the Archduke jumped over the castle wall using his overwhelming mana control and opened the castle gate at once.
The walls of the inner castle were lower than those of the outer castle. If he crossed over like that, there was no one who could stop him.
The decision was quick.
“Tell them to prepare for a desperate battle.”
The deacon’s eyes lit up at the powerful voice he had heard for the first time in a while.
no way.
Does he have a secret secret that even he, his close associate, doesn’t know about?
It was right then.
“And be prepared.”
“…What do you mean?”
“I will go to Marquis Eltanis.”
Marquis Eltanis.
It was one of the seven kingdoms of the kingdom and the count’s maternal family.
Only then did the butler fully realize what the count was thinking.
getaway!
There is probably a secret passage that the Count uses.
It wasn’t a bad suggestion even for the head deacon. If we stayed here, the Archduke could have taken over the inner city and been wiped out.
Isn’t it well-known that it ruthlessly hunts down officials who commit corruption?
As expected of the count’s close associates, the head butler was also one of the deeply rotten people.
“…All right.”
The news was delivered to the personnel in the inner city. The count is trying his best, so hold on as long as you can.
The knights strengthened their fighting spirit.
* * *
In front of me.
A large number of people flocked towards that place.
Although the Count’s words strengthened his fighting spirit, it was impossible to erase the feeling of being overwhelmed.
‘…what kind of people.’
To exaggerate a bit, it seemed as if all the residents from all over Toledo had come here.
Even knights are like this, so what about private soldiers?
Most of the soldiers had already lost their will to fight for a long time.
This was especially true after seeing the Archduke moving at the very front of the line.
Wrong.
To be honest, I didn’t even want to resist. How deep is the loyalty to the tyrannical count?
“Everyone raise your bow!”
Knights shouting loudly that the enemy is coming. Their words were not even heard.
What kind of enemy is that?
They were all his relatives and family.
It was a moment when the soldiers hesitated. As if to help them with their decision, the Archduke got off his horse and started running towards the castle wall.
The knights who saw this widened their eyes.
It was clearly running on two human legs, but its speed was much faster than that of a horse on four legs.
It was the moment he flew into the air. The knights took the bows of the soldiers who could not bear to aim at the archduke and filled the arrowheads with mana.
Sigh!
Dozens of arrows filled with mana were fired at Ethan, who was flying high. The empty space without any support.
No matter how I looked at it, it seemed impossible to catch dozens of arrows.
The residents of the territory widened their eyes.
“Those…those damn bastards!”
It was a moment when everyone was stamping their feet.
“…Huh?”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
This was the same for both Yeongjimin near the inner castle and the personnel on top of the inner wall.
The archduke’s body was burning. It was literally like that.
It looked as if it was covered in flames. Dozens of arrows flew through the air in vain.
The dragon slayer lightly blocked the arrow and looked at the archduke.
‘As expected, you are the Archduke.’
They all knew.
That the Archduke possesses a terrifying level of force.
That was why his expression did not change even after seeing the barrage of arrows filled with magical power.
The knights above the castle stared blankly at the scene. How can you stop someone whose body has turned into fire?
A monster that even magic-filled arrows don’t work on.
The Archduke stepped into the air once more and landed on the inner wall very naturally.
The knights took out their swords.
The knights of the inner city were the elite members of the count family. They completely believed what their master said. From now on, I had to take as much time as possible.
Dozens of knights began to rush towards the archduke.
As if I were a moth jumping into a flame.
* * *
“Huh. Everyone, move quickly!”
Irdan scolded his subordinates. A secret passage in the mansion.
The count was now using this location to escape with his family. It was a bonus to have a few escort knights and valuable money.
The faces of the family members had long since darkened due to the untimely thunderstorm.
Because they were escaping the mansion immediately without prior notice.
It was then.
“Waaah!”
A huge roar was heard.
It was even transmitted to a secret passage deep underground.
Irdan’s expression hardened.
Did the soldiers in the inner city shout? That wasn’t going to be it.
Tens of thousands of people who were said to be flocking together with the Grand Duke.
Judging by the size of the shouts, it was clear that they had made them.
‘No way… the inner city…’
Has it already been occupied?
His heart suddenly became urgent.
“Just go a little further!”
The secret passage that seemed to go on forever had already reached its end. That was the moment when the Count came out of the passage following the pure white light.
His expression hardened.
Exit of the secret passage.
This is because two people wearing pure white robes were waiting there.
“You’re late.”
It was a very calm voice.
The Count swallowed his saliva.
Pure white robe.
That was an item I remembered seeing not long ago.
A bishop who called himself the eighth servant. Because it was one of the items he was wearing.
in between.
The knights hastily drew their swords and blocked the count’s path.
“Who are you guys!”
“Hmm.”
That was the moment when one of the robed men raised his hand.
“Wow!”
The knight holding my neck jumped up into the sky as if I was out of breath.
I only waved my legs for a moment.
Pop!
In an instant, the knight’s neck was broken. Now, it was too vain to be the last of the few remaining 6-star knights in the count’s family.
“Hee…hee!”
Fear appeared in the eyes of the count and other family members.
It was the same for the remaining knights.
“Fourth servant. “What should I do?”
“It’s enough if we just save the count.”
“Of course.”
At those words, the family’s eyes widened.
A terrifying force began to weigh them down. My feet didn’t move at all. It was the same for the remaining knights.
“Five…Five! Ugh!”
Pop!
Pop!
They were seen breaking the neck without showing any emotion, as if they were slaughtering an animal.
The count was seized with extreme fear. The two people who had taken care of all the people looked at the Count.
“The eighth bell. Tell everyone about his whereabouts. “I already know that I met you.”
“These… dogs… these… guys…!”
In an instant, the family members died. Fear of death. Anger and confusion over losing his family.
The Count was out of his mind right now.
“Hmm.”
The fourth bishop, who was looking at the count, nodded.
“Seventh servant. “Get a confession.”
“yes.”
The bishop, who was looking at the count with emotionless eyes, moved.
A hand was placed on Irdan’s head.
“Ugh…Ugh!”
The Count screamed.
It felt like my mind was turning completely white. His body, which had been struggling, gradually calmed down.
“Blow the whereabouts of the eighth bell. all.”
“…I said…let’s meet…and assassinate the Archduke together…and…with the knights…the Archduke… To assassinate… left… didn’t come back… all of them…”
“What is the level of the knights deployed?”
“One of the 7 stars… 6 stars… nine… strong… ones…”
“Hmm.”
The two bishops looked at each other.
Seventh Bishop.
The effectiveness of the confession-type magic he used was clear. As a side effect, wouldn’t the subject’s head become permanently idiotic?
The seventh bishop was a person specially assigned by the archbishop to conduct the investigation.
The Count could not lie.
“There was quite a lot of effort put into it.”
“That’s strange. The Archduke is just fine now…”
The assassination was not only about the eighth bishop, but also high-ranking knights.
How can the Archduke be so fine?
It was a question that naturally arose.
At those words, the fourth bishop was silent for a moment.
That too for a while.
“That is not for us to judge. The archbishop will decide. “I’m going back.”
“All right. “What should I do with this guy?”
The Count was bleeding from his stomach. Even if the confession spell is broken, it will be difficult to return to sanity.
“Take me with you if you want.”
“Of course.”
There was a cart full of gold and silver treasures in the back, but it was not of interest to the two bishops.
‘Nothing special.’
If there were any useful artifacts, the two bishops would have already caught the mood.
Common gold and silver treasures.
This was no different from a burden for the bishops, especially in a situation where they had to return as soon as possible.
This is because the more useless baggage you carry when jumping through space, the more mana you consume exponentially.
“I’m going back.”
The moment the fourth bishop snapped his hand.
The new faces of the count and the two bishops have disappeared.
Exit of the secret passage.
All that remained there were corpses with their tongues sticking out and a cart filled with gold and silver treasures.
