Episode 595 Heron Kingdom Grand Banquet (6)

“Nice to meet you. Since the prison guards are gone, I was thinking of calling for reinforcements even if it wasn’t.”

“….”

“….”

However, despite the greetings of the escort knights, the knights in front of them only remained silent.

Suddenly, a bad feeling came over them at their dubious behavior.

Originally, they were the ones who should let go of their guard and show respect to the princess.

However, the knights in front of them looked at the three princesses with a puzzled face and did not take any action.

The escort knights at once took their hands to the swordsman and stepped back.

“…Who are you? Please indicate your affiliation.”

Did you feel that things went wrong with that question?

The courteous knights pulled out their swords.

The one at the forefront of them showed this.

“I never thought there would be a princess.”

It was nothing more than a muttering to himself, but his words were enough to set off an alarm in the heads of the escort knights.

The escort knights, who confirmed the gap between the two groups, felt that they had no chance of winning.

‘If they clash like this, the princesses will be in danger.’

Even the difference in troops is more than three times higher, and it is difficult for them to exert their full strength because they have targets to protect.

If a fight broke out, it would be inevitable.

The escort knight pushed the sword he was about to pull out and said.

“…Do you know that trying to harm the royal family in the castle is a serious crime?”

“There is no sin in eating and living. If you can make money just by moving your body, then you should follow the law.”

There was not the slightest slur in his tone.

It wasn’t like he was just faking it with a lie.

“Isn’t that what savage bandits do?”

“I can’t starve to death. If the answer that comes after thinking about replaceing a way to live is a bandit, wouldn’t it be tasteful in its own way? Kkeukkeuk.”

“I didn’t know you would say something like this. Pass by pretending not to see us. Then I’ll pretend I didn’t see you today too.”

“A contract not made with money is unreliable. I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.”

He drew his sword as if he had no intention of responding.

Then, a gloomy spirit hit his face.

The escort knight, who considered his opponent as his subordinate, swallowed at his unexpected skill.

‘It’s a great skill.’

Even if he competed one-on-one, his posture was so perfect that it was difficult to guess victory.

Eventually, when the fight became inevitable, the escort knight shouted with a nervous face.

“Protect the princesses!”

“yes!”

“yes!”

The escort knights solidified their formation.

Drawing their swords and aiming at the enemies, they slowly retreated while surrounding the princesses.

The leader of the mercenary corps slowly clenched his fist as if he was excited.

“ha ha ha. Where are you going in such a hurry? Bring the princess to me.”

At his signal, the mercenaries rushed out one after another.

It seems that all of them have mastered swordsmanship properly, so the knights struggled with their single sword.

Chaeeng-!

Kaaaang-!

“Aww!”

“dare!”

The knight commander, who was worse than that, vigorously struck the mercenaries’ swords.

Then three or four mercenaries flew back, spraying blood.

He grinned as he watched the knight commander stir up the formation by himself like a wolf in a flock of sheep.

“Your opponent is me.”

Wedge-Ae-Ae-!

The head of the knights fled in fright at the heavy sword strike that made the spine chill.

Just when I thought I had barely avoided it.

His sword, which must have contained tremendous force, turned strangely.

“Huh!”

The knight commander hurriedly raised his sword.

Kaaaaang-!

Pee-!

Was it because it was a force he couldn’t handle?

When he faced the sword, his grip was torn.

In addition, the center of gravity was distorted due to the fact that the career carried on the sword could not be completely resolved.

The captain of the knights, who had endured with gritted teeth, put all his strength into his hind legs.

Once he forcibly caught the center of his body, he used the recoil to swing his sword.

‘please!’

Even if you think about it yourself, it is a move of conversion that you wielded at exquisite timing.

Her chest was completely opened because she had to make a big move, but as long as this one move worked, it wasn’t a big deal.

When the sword was fired with earnestness, the man laughed once and then bent his elbow holding the sword.

The arm bent inward and the sword’s trajectory became the shape of cutting off the blow he had fired in the middle.

The powerless blow was easily broken by his hand.

The knight commander looked up at the man’s sword with empty eyes.

* * *

Ray, who hadn’t eaten in a while, slowly got up from his seat.

He kicked out the bonfire with his foot and looked in the direction of the prison in the distance.

It’s been a strange atmosphere since before.

“I have to go see this…”

These are the guys who caught it with difficulty.

I don’t think they’ll be able to get out of the capital’s prison, but if they miss them at all, things will become complicated.

Turning his butt lightly, Ray headed for the place where he could feel his presence with a swashbuckling gait.

There were quite a lot of places where I felt a bad sign.

From the stables and barns to the pinnacles and the entrance to the Prison.

He decided to catch them all from close quarters first.

Entering the stable, he looked around.

Then, a man in shabby clothes came running.

“Oh, you shouldn’t come in like this. Do you know how much trouble I had to appease the horses brought by noble people?”

If you look at his clothes, which are certainly tattered, you can clearly see how much he must have suffered from the horses.

Ray didn’t even respond and punched a corner of the roof.

The mana shot from his hand shattered the roof of the stable at once.

Kwaaaang-!

Is it possible to be so ignorant even if you are ignorant?

Those who had erased their presence and hid appeared in awe.

“Heh heh heh!”

While the stable keeper was surprised.

The Assassins quickly closed the distance and stabbed Ray’s neck with daggers.

“Where are these bastards?”

He lightly dodged the dagger.

As soon as I gave my foot roughly, the Assassins hit me in the chest and bounced back faster than the speed at which they flew.

“Aagh!”

“Aaaagh!”

Leaving screams of despair, the two Assassins died in an instant.

He took a look around to see if there were any other guys, and soon regretted it.

“The stables are tidy, so there are only two rats. Oh, that’s bullshit.”

Even if you look at them, they were the lowest of the lowest.

There’s no way they’d be entrusted with an important executive role.

Leaving the horses startled by the sudden uproar and the stablekeeper even more frightened, Ray left the stable.

now it’s a barn

The flow of mana that had been strangely changing since earlier had all started there.

When I arrived at the barn, the subtle mana flowing from the trees and stones scratched my nerves.

“That’s why there were no people on the street.”

Ray broke the tree and threw the stone away.

Then, the atmospheric mana gradually returned to normal.

This magic circle was something he himself had learned from Aira.

When building an elven village, it was said to be a magic circle that prevents people from entering.

I didn’t expect to see something similar in Heron Castle.

‘It’s bigger than I thought. It seems that the boat you believe in is strong, right?’

There was a high possibility that he would be a person who would not have to worry about being left behind if he was capable of doing this level of work in the royal castle.

Of course, King Heron is the only person capable of such a thing unilaterally, but if it was done in unity, the story is different.

There was only one of them who harbored enmity towards the king and tried to save the Marquis Garen and Viscount Mace.

‘They’re the central nobility.’

Ray, who grasped the reality without difficulty, entered the barn.

Except for dried grains and various miscellaneous items, it is quite empty.

He said as he walked into the hwijeokhwijeok.

“Don’t hide and come out soon.”

If a stranger had seen it, they would have treated him like a madman, muttering to himself in a place where there was nothing.

Not long after he said one, the empty space shook and a group of people dressed in nocturnal clothes appeared.

Among the crowd, a particularly short man asked in surprise.

“Oh, you have a great eye. How did you know we were there?”

“I’m not an idiot, so how can you not know when you’re hiding so openly?”

The man laughed heartily at the answer.

“ha ha ha! I was proud that I had achieved one of the immersion techniques. It was all my conceit.”

As I looked at them, they looked like gangsters who were only hired for money.

The reason why they were hiding where the magic circle is is probably just to keep an eye on who is coming.

Ray waved his hand in annoyance.

“The magic circle has already been destroyed, so get out of here quickly.”

In any case, his purpose is to prevent Marquis Garen and Viscount Mace from being rescued.

There was no interest in whether the killers were roaming around the castle or the dragons were roaming around.

The man shook his head and pulled out the longsword stuck in his waist.

“Can you do that? A request to deal with all witnesses. As long as I received the money, I have to take care of the matter.”

The work ethic is really strong.

The shooters standing behind him also drew knives.

It seemed that his intuition would be resolved only after seeing blood.

Feeling the murderous spirit and the spirit of victory rising around the man, it seems that he has no intention of hiding his presence anymore.

Usually Assassins don’t fight head-on, so Ray looked at him as if he was having fun.

“You seem to know how to do some swordsmanship, right?”

“This is the only one I have touched since I was young. What kind of woman is good enough to hide behind the shadows?”

“That too.”

A smile came out involuntarily.

Unlike the Assassins, who are relatively dry and stiff compared to adventurers and mercenaries, it was somehow fun to see them full of laughter.

Ray, who was about to wipe them out at once, changed his mind.
