Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 130
Episode 130 A scene similar to two weeks ago occurred again.
The west gate of Alun Castle opened and the castle owners came out to welcome guests again.
A group of knights numbering over 500.
And two superhumans.
Even the palanquin lifted by the eight soldiers at the front all looked the same.
“Come down. I will meet them myself.”
As can be seen in the kiln owner’s attitude, the atmosphere was completely different from before.
“Loyalty! Padric McLane meets His Highness Romain von Grandia, the rightful heir to the throne! We report that you have successfully completed your ‘mission’ and have returned!”
Successful completion of the mission?
Jordan tried to say something about the poor choice of words that made it impossible to criticize him in public.
Before that, the prince stepped forward first.
“Ahahaha! Yes. Lord Padric, I commend your achievement. And all of McLane’s soldiers did a great job!”
Prince Romaine, who is said to look down on even nobles, praises even ordinary soldiers, albeit roughly.
The soldiers actually lowered their heads and did not react in any way, but the nobles who knew the meaning were all surprised.
‘You mean you will be treated more than a margrave.’
‘There’s another person in power.’
‘I need to show this well.’
The nobles each shake their heads.
The person standing at the top has reached the pinnacle of that guess.
“Welcome the warriors who achieved the greatest achievements! Salute to McLane!”
“Wow!”
Along with the shouts of Jordan’s Walter Mime, shouts filled the castle.
However, the face of the person standing behind him became so grim that it could not have been worse.
* * * The preparations of the Second Prince faction, which welcomed McLane noisily from outside, did not end there.
McLane’s place was allocated to the innermost mansion inside Alun Castle, and a separate place for the soldiers to rest was also provided.
And immediately, a welcome event was held in Daejeon, the inner city.
Considering that it was an exhibition, all the participants were wearing armor and all they had was drinks without alcohol and small refreshments, but still, all the nobles who could be said to be influential in the Second Prince faction were in attendance.
In fact, it had to be seen as most of the elite forces.
‘Oh, except for the Bipros gang.’
Roger Bipros, who said he was tired and left, did not stop anyone.
At least there was no one here who didn’t know about the conflict between them and McLane.
And there are only two people from McLane who can be said to be the guests of honor at this welcome event.
It was just Padric and Logan.
– I will take charge of the second prince. You can just laugh it off no matter what you say. As is known, I will say that all real power has been given to you, so we will not be held back by my mistake.
No one could get close to Padric, who was laughing and whispering with the second prince, as if trying to keep his word.
Since Logan was also talking to the gray-haired giant, the other nobles could only watch from afar.
Logan grinned inwardly, and contrary to his feelings, he bowed his head politely towards the Duke of Jordan.
“First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to respectfully apologize for not attacking the rear as promised.”
“No, no. To be honest, it was an unreasonable situation. It’s enough to get around it and make a major.”
A humorous tone. The hand patting the shoulder looked happy to anyone, but the eyes were not smiling at all.
His acting was so perfect that if you didn’t see him up close, you wouldn’t feel any discomfort at all.
‘The fire sword looks like some kind of cold snake.’
Logan, who sneered inwardly, still smiled and accepted the comment.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“Oh, I understand. It’s obvious. A generous reward to those who have contributed. It’s one of the principles I’ve followed my whole life. Once again, I’m sorry for doubting you at first. But for us… you understand without saying more, right?”
“Of course. I am just grateful that you are so happy to welcome me now.”
“Ahaha. Yes. I am grateful that you understand. But…”
“But then, can I consider my conditions accepted?”
Logan’s question came in after interrupting the Duke.
The reason the voice seemed unusually loud was probably not just due to my mood.
This was because the eyes of all the nobles of the Second Prince faction who were watching their conversation in Daejeon, knowingly or unknowingly, were clearly focused.
At that, Jordan Walter Mayim’s face seemed to harden slightly.
“Okay! I’ll look at it positively. If we win thanks to you, what can’t you do? But…” “
Then, you can expect recognition of the territory of Bipros, half of the Marquis of Calia, and even the title of count. This must be you, right?”
After interrupting the conversation again, Jordan’s face became cold and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
“Huh… Hmm. Didn’t you say you would look into it positively? That’s not something I can decide on my own. The prince is there too. I like your youthful spirit, but wouldn’t it be better to consider the circumstances of your superiors as well?”
The Duke smiles again, albeit awkwardly.
However, the hand on Logan’s shoulder secretly had a force that stimulated the human spirit.
‘hmm?’
Logan, who boasted that he had already surpassed human limitations based on his senses alone, could barely feel it.
A talent that weakens the force within the body and causes the person to shrink psychologically while preventing even the person involved from properly recognizing it.
It was such an amazing technique that Logan had no idea how on earth this was possible.
‘I know that the Force affects both the body and mind, but…’
Perhaps this is also a talent that requires a superhuman.
Although he was laughing inwardly, Logan immediately lowered his head, pretending to be overcome by the force.
“Oh…yeah. I guess I went a little too far. I’m sorry.”
“No, no. A young person could be like that.”
A smile appeared on Jordan’s face again, but Logan had already gotten what he wanted.
The audience glanced briefly with their heads down.
The whispers of the surprised-looking nobles were gradually spreading.
When Logan looks at it and smiles without anyone noticing.
Only then did the Duke of Jordan get to the point.
“But the weapons you used are enormous. Do you have any intention of sharing them with the faction? Then, I think we can easily win this war.”
A voice that conveys the will to eat the core of McLane raw.
The hand that had not left Logan’s shoulder was still sending that secret force into his body.
But of course, that did not come true.
“Oh, that’s it. I’m sorry, Your Excellency. Apart from the quantity already made, we don’t have any spares, so we only have as much as we can use.”
“Ah… is that really true?”
The duke’s eyes glowed like snakes, and at the same time, a powerful force spread that made the nobles around him flinch.
And the secret force that entered Logan’s body instantly grew in size in response.
A terrible ‘fear’ that tightens your heart at that moment.
I feel like something big will happen if I don’t tell the truth about what this person says.
But even amidst that horrifying sensation, Logan’s answer remained the same.
“That’s right, Your Excellency. I’m sorry… um…!”
“Oh my. That’s a shame. Um, are you tired?”
“Oh no, I’m fine…”
“No. No. You look tired. I guess I was holding on too much to the hero who just finished a battle. Enjoy a little bit and get some rest. I think the next battle will be soon.”
When Jordan, who smiled and patted his shoulder, turned around.
Logan was staring blankly behind him, as if he had just woken up from sleep.
Of course, the intention was different.
‘Is this something a superhuman would do? This rotten bastard…’
Ugh.
As I hid the vibrations of the force core that protected my spirit and gave myself over to the force of secretly escaping, cold sweat naturally broke out as if I had really been the victim of that trick.
And only then did other nobles flock to his side.
“Prince Logan, I have a question to ask you about that weapon.”
“Could we talk for a moment?”
“Haha. I was impressed by your wonderful performance. I…”
Except for the margraves, they are not even worth remembering.
However, Logan smiled and chatted with each of them and avoided difficult questions.
‘It would be easier to fight. ‘Damn it.’
And when he sighs inwardly like that.
“But if you don’t have the quantity, couldn’t you at least provide samples or blueprints?”
A brown-haired, blue-eyed, ordinary-looking margrave suddenly intervened.
“Luchen… Count Talos.”
“Um, okay. Thank you for remembering. I guess I’m a bit blurry.”
Even so, how could one not recognize one of the main axes of the faction?
“How could you not know? It is an honor to speak with you, Your Excellency.”
Logan bowed deeply, waving his hands at his excessive humility.
Then Lu Chen’s blue eyes began to shine gently.
“If it’s an honor, are you saying you’ll do as I say?”
However, as it was a well-expected question, Logan gave an answer he had prepared in advance.
“The blueprint is not a difficult task, but in the current situation, considering the time it will take from production to actual use, I think it would be meaningless.”
“I think we can do that in a short time if we focus our efforts.”
“Well, if you say so, there’s nothing I can’t do for you.”
“Oh really?”
of course.
The repeating crossbow is just as weak as the Wolves used, and the liberatio is completely false.
Because there will be no time to prove it.
“What could be difficult? We are now in the same boat.”
Logan grinned, saying something completely different from what he was thinking.
“Hehe. Are you really saying you’ll do it? Still, it’s not easy to give up that greed. I guess I got the wrong person.”
Lu Chen smiled brightly and patted Logan on the shoulder.
Just a few hours after the small(?) event ended, Logan’s words reached one person’s ears.
“How dare anyone control my land!!”
Wow!
A gust of wind began to blow around the middle-aged man, whose blue eyes turned red.
* * * Although the Second Prince faction greatly praised the achievements of Logan and MacLaine, most of their attention was focused on defeating the Chiron Wolves rather than defeating the supply base.
On one side of the twin castles alone, excluding the villages spread out, there were nearly 30,000 people living inside.
They thought that they could avoid the immediate food shortage just by requisitioning their food…
However, the situation was a little different for the 1st Prince faction, whose three supply bases were all burned down.
The nobles, who had little interest in the lives of the peasants, had no choice but to feel the hardships of the peasants in completely unexpected places.
It was only after realizing that few farmers were able to store enough food from last year’s harvest during the mid-summer farming season.
“We have commandeered all the supplies within the castle, but at most it is enough for a week. If we commandeer an outside village, we will have several months’ worth of food, but I don’t think the enemy will just sit there and watch.”
“Are you saying we should leave this castle?”
“…I guess I’ll have to if I can’t get any more food.”
“Ha… Those rat bastards have really thoroughly decontaminated the poison. Aside from Touraine, how on earth do you know about Alston and Florence?… Are there spies inside? You damn bastards!”
“Um… Your Excellency, I have a guess.”
“What do you mean, Duke Hwang? Then you have to tell me right away!”
“Well… Alston and Firenz are both castles that were used as grain warehouses for Kairos. Just in case, I know they are the in-laws of those bats…” The
voice of the adjutant was heard. A spark flew into Juan Douglas’s eyes upon hearing this.
As a result,
when the desperate army of the 1st Prince faction opened the gates of Allon Castle again and appeared.
The Kairos Knights, which were evaluated as weak even among the self-authors who were stigmatized as the Merchant Mercenaries or the Golden Knights, were He stood at the forefront of the First Prince faction’s forces.
