Wazle laughed at Elric and said.
“Even kids walking around on the streets know this. “Mervinger dares to revolt.”
“….”
Elric stared at Wazle with an expressionless face.
‘Has the rumor spread that much already?’
It was faster than expected.
No, to be more precise, the remnants of the Inspection Department or the Sajagong family probably spread the rumor like that.
If so, it made sense that it would spread so widely.
And that’s probably why he came here like this.
Seeing that the imperial envoy arrived like this, it seemed like everything had already been prepared.
Be prepared to have a clear chance of winning even if you turn Mervinger into an enemy.
‘Actually, it can be said that the connection with the imperial family was cut off from the moment we lost Cromhel.’
Elric simply did it to suppress the demons and protect his family’s legacy.
How important is that fact to them?
The most important thing for the imperial family is their respect.
Elric’s face sank expressionlessly.
Wazle smiled brightly and said, as if it was okay.
“So you’ll have to explain it well. “If not…”
“If not?”
“A million-strong imperial army will devastate the East.”
Words that are no different from threats.
The wide-open eyes of the vassals all turned to Elric.
Are you going to leave him alone like that?
Anger and hostility mixed together.
On the other hand, there were many people who expressed worry and worry at the word ‘million troops’.
Until now, it had only been an area of speculation that war might ‘break out’.
This is no different from a declaration of war.
“Duke, why isn’t there anything to say? “Are you really scared?”
Wazle sarcastically smiled even more bitterly.
Before I knew it, my horse’s tail had become shorter.
The excitement was at its peak.
“You’re definitely young. I never thought I would be scared at this level. But don’t worry, as long as you explain well…!”
“It stinks.”
“…what?”
Wazle blinked for a moment as if he had heard wrong.
Elric was complaining that there was nothing more to talk about.
“Put it away.”
At that moment, Elric’s soldiers who were waiting grabbed Wazle’s arms. The guard knights hurriedly reached for their swords.
“Are these people crazy! I can’t wait to let go! I am the Emperor’s envoy! Insulting me is tantamount to insulting His Majesty the Emperor!”
Wazle waved his fat arms in panic, but the soldiers didn’t move.
thud!
Rather, they are unable to keep their balance and end up making a fool of themselves.
The soldiers made such a fuss.
He was caught by the soldiers and cried out with his face red.
“What are the guards doing now? “Hurry up and stop stopping these people!”
But the guards could not move carelessly.
“If you move too hastily, I’ll cut you.”
“We cannot be held responsible if your head suddenly falls to the floor.”
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
Before we knew it, Hermann and Andre were pointing their swords at the back of the guard knights.
In addition, the large Batu created an enormous intimidation and defeated all of the guard knights.
The guard knights became thoughtful and swallowed their saliva.
They realized that the momentum they had thought to be equal was in fact just something Mervinger had tolerated.
『If you even pretend to pull out a sword, no one here will be able to keep their arms intact.』
And here, the sharp sound of Nameless penetrates my ears.
I even felt a chill on the back of my neck right away.
“These things…!”
Since the guards could not do anything, Wazle could do nothing but vent his anger.
Even if you want to attack, you can’t.
“Duke Duke! “What on earth is this?”
“I wonder if my ears have gained weight and I can’t hear anything.”
“What!”
Elric replied, picking his ears as if he was annoyed.
“Oh, fuck off. “I wonder why people are so clueless.”
“Do you think you can be safe after doing this?”
“I think so?”
“That’s ridiculous! A million people! A million people! Bow your head and apologize right now. Otherwise, the great army will wipe out the East!”
“try.”
“…?”
Wazle’s expression hardened at Elric’s words.
Elric was no longer respected.
“Try it. What are you freaking out about? Then wait. and.”
Elric smiled coldly, curling one corner of his mouth.
“I don’t know if you’re a three-gong or something, but if you’re going to threaten me with something like that, you’ll have to keep your hats on you next time.”
“…!”
“When I decide to kill you, will His Majesty the Emperor be willing to protect you until the end?”
Wazle trembled.
Rattling…
Elric was unable to continue his words due to the murderous intent that suddenly appeared.
It was only then that I remembered it.
The fact that Elric is a man of skill comparable to that of the Golden Lion and the only descendant of the great ‘Star Mage’.
It occurred to me that if such an Elric was really determined, even the imperial family would never be able to protect him.
Elric waved his hand as if to tell him to get out now that it was a bother.
Only then were the soldiers able to drive Wazle and the guard knights out.
bang!
I could hear Wazle shouting out loud belatedly through the tightly closed door.
Elric didn’t even give me a glance.
“….”
“….”
The situation ended and silence came.
It was Hermann who broke the silence.
“Is it okay for me to just leave like this?”
I didn’t really like Wazle, but not everything he said was wrong.
As he said, the emperor’s envoys were those who came on behalf of the emperor.
Treating them poorly was like treating the emperor poorly.
This would be tantamount to giving an excuse to turn the imperial family into an enemy, but Hermann could not help but be worried.
However, Elric looked rather relieved.
“Originally, it just barks like a scared animal.”
“But…”
“And above all, there is no justification over there.”
In fact, wasn’t it the delegation that raised the dispute first?
“Besides, you were the one who insulted the emperor first.”
Being on behalf of the emperor means that all of his actions and speech represent the emperor.
However, Wazle’s attitude and words and actions were extremely rude.
This was tantamount to an action that undermined the emperor’s reputation.
“So is there any reason not to kick them out?”
Hermann nodded as if he understood.
“Then how will you explain it as treason?”
This time it was Andre.
“There’s no need to worry about that either. Because it’s bullshit that doesn’t even work in the first place. “If you keep holding on until the end.”
Elric snorted and answered.
“The fact that the imperial family has been digging pumpkin seeds behind their backs will be revealed to the world, so will they really commit something crazy? “They just want to see my reaction.”
Collusion with demons.
Secret human experiments.
The grave robbery incident of our ancestors.
Although they are all covered up by the Inspection Bureau.
If Elric persists until the end, the imperial family will also be in trouble.
Moreover, public opinion was always on Mervinger’s side, not the imperial family’s.
If Elric decides to go forward, the only one who will be at a disadvantage is that side.
“And from what I heard earlier, I heard that they were kicked out and abandoned by the Magic Tower or the Protestant Alliance.”
That wasn’t even funny.
Currently, the two forces were united around Elric.
In fact, they were rebelling against the Inspection Bureau and Sajagongga and making them their enemies.
If they helped Elric, they helped him.
There was no way he would come with the imperial family to kill Elric.
“And this time I realized it for sure.”
“…What do you mean?”
“Even if a million troops come, there will be no problem.”
“…!”
Running a large army requires preparing to spend a huge amount of military expenses.
This meant that although war with the imperial family was burdensome, moving a large army was also bound to be burdensome for the imperial family.
If it wasn’t a burden at all, there would be no reason to poke at it like this.
Moreover, Elric believed in the potential of himself and Dongbu.
I may not win against the imperial family, or even against the empire, but I will not lose.
He also had magical skills.
“But wouldn’t the impact be great?”
“If we’re not careful, the foundation we’ve built so far…”
Of course, Hermann and Andre still seemed a little worried.
“But despite your concerns, it seems like you two have high expectations?”
“….”
“….”
Elric asked back while grinning.
Hermann and Andre also laughed bitterly.
It was because I hit the nail on the head.
I’m hiding it because I’m trying to hide it.
As expected, Elric seemed to be above their heads.
These two people aren’t the type to shy away from fighting.
Neither of them had good memories of the Inspection Bureau and Sajagongga, so if war broke out, only they would be in good hands.
“and.”
Elric drew a line around his mouth.
“Maybe something interesting will happen soon.”
“Fun thing?”
Hermann tilted his head as if he didn’t understand what was happening.
“yes. And you will also see how ragtag the enemies are.”
A ragtag bunch?
Hermann and other retainers tilted their heads, wondering what that meant.
* * *
Boom!
As soon as Wazle was kicked out, the castle gate was slammed shut.
He looked up at the gate, which was inexplicably closed.
“How can you be so rude!”
The more I thought about it, the more I couldn’t understand it.
He was Samgong and no one else.
Although it was an honorary position, in terms of order, he was almost second only to the emperor in power.
That’s why no one has ever treated him this harshly…!
“A bastard who doesn’t even have blood on his head is mocking me like this!”
When I thought of Elric’s threat, saying that the Emperor would protect you, I still felt like my blood was rushing to the top of my head.
However, there is no way that the closed gate will open again just by shouting like this.
In the end, his anger was directed at the escorts who were foolishly kicked out along with him.
Thump thump thump!
He hit the helmets the guards were wearing hard with his fist and screamed.
“you! What on earth are they doing? uh? Can it still be called an escort? Are they the ones who received orders from His Majesty? Even though I’m being treated like this, I can’t do anything…! Even after doing this, you can still be called knights protecting the imperial family!”
Even then, his anger didn’t seem to go away.
“I can’t do it. “Take off everything you’re wearing!”
The guards closed their eyes tightly and began to take off their helmets.
“Keep your eyes closed. “If even one of them shows up, we’ll start again from the beginning.”
The guards closed their eyes so hard that their wrinkles became thick.
The moment when Wazle’s fist was about to fly.
“What’s going on, Samgong?”
Wazle’s hand stopped at the serious voice heard from behind.
Right behind him, Belin, a knight from the Cromhell side who had followed as the commander of the guard, was standing with an expressionless face.
