The Blood Knight’s Villains

My villains, episode 477

, 66. Prince Silver (32)

“You arrogant bastard!”

Imperial field marshal Nadim, half-blind, jumped over the wreckage of a smashed table, clutching an ax made of force fields. Phoenix, who was confronting Guardian Guard Fabio, corrected the handle and

covered the black blade with dark red ice again.

The moment the two young heroes were about to collide,

flash!

“Keugh?”

“Such a dog-”

Suddenly, a human spirit jumped out from under the podium and landed between the two, bursting out with blinding light. While the red knight and the enemy hesitated at the light that seemed to burn the corneas, In-young swung her longsword burning white, drove Nadim’s force field ax to the ground, and deflected the ‘black ice’ with her large federal plaque.

“Didn’t both of you hear His Majesty’s orders?”

A calm tone spread through a muffled echo. The voice was familiar, so Phoenix looked at In-young while frowning.

“…Princess?”

Whoops.

The figure scattering golden sunlight with faint vibrations was none other than Princess Theodora.

This Paladin of Calandari, said to have been anointed by the three Red Bishops, had her pale blonde hair hanging long over her breastplate, and an aura of the same color shimmered around her. The pure white plate armor had a silvery glow, and the eyes, which were usually soft, had a strong spirit.

Phoenix’s face stiffened as she checked the strengthening effect she wore.

‘The divine blade, the light of exorcism, the armor of faith, combat readiness… It must be almost a full buff.’

“What are you doing now, princess?”

“What are you doing?”

“yes. I didn’t know that the princess was a servant of the emperor.”

“That is what I want to say. Lord Phoenix is an Imperial Count and has become a vassal of His Majesty the Emperor. Unlike my loyalty to the Lord, your loyalty must also be directed to His Majesty the Emperor. But, out of nowhere, something like this happened.”

The red knight kept a sneer at the princess’s ridiculous tone.

“Then you’re telling me to just sit back and watch? Can you see the inside clearly over there?”

“You mean?”

The one who answered her question was Lu Yan, who stood far away with a knife aimed at the throat of Lin Hau’s chieftain, Isidi Lin.

“Don’t catch the wrong person, ask over there.”

The boy’s auburn eyes scanned Ruilix II and his surroundings.

The emperor’s throne was already tightly surrounded by more than a hundred bodyguards, including Broxor and the royal battle wizards, as well as ‘Aringen’s crystal golem’ Sufmilez.

Half of the imperial nobles immediately fled under the podium, while the rest gathered around the throne, each drawing their weapon.

“He openly gives off a desire to live, but even if he tried to give his back, he couldn’t possibly do that.”

Prince Eun and his men gathered beside Ruyan who said so. Not only the knights gathered near the seat of honor, but also the friendly soldiers scattered here and there joined before they knew it, each holding a weapon and being vigilant in all directions.

“What is that-”

“Don’t you understand?” Ruyan raised his voice as if he was frustrated.

“That means they tried to attack us. Why did you distract the party and scatter them here and there, tie Lord Phoenix to an anti-magic field, and gather those proud hundred men?”

Princess Theodora’s puzzled gaze turned to the throne. As if responding, the voice of King Ruilix II was heard.

“Get away. You are covering my eyes.” The holy white men who were tightly surrounding the throne split left and right. The emperor, who appeared, was sitting leaning back on the throne amidst the sudden uproar.

“Although I expected it already, Red Knight. Indeed, you are an incomparably careless knight. ”

“Are you frivolous?”

The red knight showed no sign of fear at all, even though he was surrounded by the guardian guard Fabio and the brave imperial nobles. He just smiled lowly and looked at the emperor.

“You must be quick to judge.”

“but. Wrong choices usually come from hasty judgments. ”

“Ha. You son of a bitch-” As

he was about to rant, Prince Ulkar, who was aiming his magical longbow, ‘Boreakum,’ towards the throne, opened his mouth.

“You mean our choice was wrong?”

“of course. As Princess Theodora said, even accepting the title well, what kind of evil is this?”

“Like Lord Phoenix said, we just took a preemptive defense.”

“A preemptive defense?”

“In response to your invitation, I entered the middle of a 10,000-strong army with only seventy or so people. I decided to dedicate the occupied land and attended the dinner according to the force. However, you gathered the magicians and secretly gave orders, and moved your troops en masse, displaying ferocious spirit. Come while my best knight is chained to the anti-magic field and the descendants of giants.”

“So you hit the ball?”

King Ruilix II let out a blank laugh as if it was absurd. Prince Ulkar only glared at him with cold eyes.

“Wait a minute! A misunderstanding that is absurd now-”

“Wait. When Princess Theodora stepped forward, showing a look of bewilderment, the emperor’s voice stopped laughing and stopped her

.

“Yes, I can roughly understand why, but I still don’t think it’s the right decision. As you said, you are in the middle of an army of 10,000. Do you think you can avoid danger by running wild?”

At King Ruilix II’s threatening voice, Prince Ulkar suddenly stiffened his face and nodded.

“With water”

“Of course?”

“We have a gift from Duke Avillambus.”

Master Limond, who was standing next to the prince, handed over a piece of stone to the prince who said that. It was a little smaller than a fist and split in half, but mysterious runes were engraved along the round surface.

The emperor immediately recognized the identity of the piece of stone.

“……Rune stones?”

“Oh, the runestone containing the ‘group transfer’ spell. During the siege in High Castle, the 100 Year Castle’s dragon knights scattered countless of them throughout the castle.”

The prince, who lowered his bow and received the runestone, continued with a hard voice.

“As soon as this runestone shatters in my hands, I will escape this garrison and head for Eisbovald. Then we will have to dedicate the occupied land to our eldest brother and fight against you.” The emperor gazed at the silver prince through the veil. When he fell silent, the messy podium fell into silence.

‘……Sir.’

Gripping the black ice, the red knight secretly swallowed dry saliva.

‘I’m not good at acting. What is a wooden doll?’

The target he cursed inwardly was none other than Prince Ulkar.

The stone piece the prince is holding is definitely a runestone containing the spell of ‘group transfer’. The only problem was that the half stones were a pair, not a female.

The runes of ‘Group Transition’ are divided into female and male pairs. Opening the gate for departure is female and specifying the destination is male.

When a piece corresponding to a female is broken, the people around it are transferred to the place where the female partner is located, or teleported. Even if the pair is broken, the people around the female are transferred in the direction of the pair.

For this reason, the Wyverns of the Duke of Avillambus poured water on the High Castle. So, at that time, the magicians of Prince Silver’s army recovered several of them, and the stone fragments Prince Ulkar was holding now were of course also several.

In other words, nothing would happen even if the runestone in the prince’s hand was broken. I don’t know if the matching piece is nearby, but the Strom family’s army was torn to pieces and fled to the Topal region, so that runestone would have no effect and would be wasted.

‘Aww, I’d rather do it.’

The person who conceived this trick or bluff tried not to show his nervousness even as he internally cursed Prince Ulkar, who was a terrible liar.

King Ruilix II suddenly flicked his finger, and Broxor, who was carefully examining the runestone Prince Ulkar was holding, approached the throne and whispered.

I couldn’t hear that voice at all, but the chief of the court wizards was surprisingly not good at hiding his expression. The red knight saw through the middle-aged mage’s cautious expression that he hadn’t noticed that there were several runes.

“Oh Lord. What kind of pathetic behavior is this?”

The one who broke the silence was Princess Theodora, standing between the emperor’s bodyguards gathered at the throne and the small group of silver princes’ army, centered around Prince Ulkar.

“My mother-in-law and His Majesty the Emperor. Can’t you feel this overpowering stench? Shouldn’t we put an end to this meaningless quarrel and start by checking what’s going on!”

The appearance of an auspicious knight clad in golden aura and silvery white flames screaming was like a scene from the Bible.

Despite knowing how to feel the magical power of Theodora’s cry, those who were unable to listen to the sensation because they were concentrating on the opponent in the confrontation flinched and stiffened their bodies.

“……what?”

The enemy knight was one of them.

Only then did he perceive the faint but gloomy aura flowing through the air, and he narrowed his brows.

“Margie?”

“Yes Sir Phoenix. Magiyo! It is the magic of JZ Dark Territory that I found traces in the swamp of death that I saw through the last breath of this saint!”

“No, but why are you screaming-”

Ruilix II’s voice spread as he cut off Phoenix’s grumbling.

“Paladin of Calandari. Anyway, it is true that the silver prince and his group pointed their swords at me. ”

“Why would you do that? Wasn’t it because His Majesty’s troops were moving menacingly?”

“so? Do you think it was a great thing to recklessly draw a sword out of suspicion of your lord?”

“Then, Your Majesty. Is it a good thing to try to intimidate a servant because of suspicious circumstances? Is it a great thing to be on the lookout for less than a hundred subjects with thousands of loyal men?”

At Princess Theodora’s question, the emperor fell silent again.
