BXBX NOVEL Chapter 320
There was a heterogeneous existence among adult men with solemn expressions on top of a 10-seater transport wagon that swayed and moved quickly.
A 14-year-old girl staring into space with expressionless eyes.
At first glance, her face was so composed that no one noticed that Amelia Laneways was in a nervous state.
Except for my sister, Laura Laneways.
Swoop.
Amelia flinched, maintaining a rigid posture with her hands on her lap.
It’s because her sister’s hands are stacked on top.
“Why? Are you very worried?”
Amelia, with an introverted personality, nodded.
Not only is it meaningless to tell a lie to an older sister who knows herself like her parents, but
she would have noticed.
No matter how shaken the wagon was, how much his body was shaking right now.
“…… It’s okay, nothing big will happen.”
As she felt her sister’s body temperature on her skin, Amelia felt her tension ease, albeit little by little.
Even in a situation that is no different from being dragged to a battlefield.
Soon, even the eyes were closed, and the conversation between adult men began to come into my ears.
“What about the iron mask and Emily?”
“The Seongju side is said to be sending someone to the lodging, but I don’t know if they will be properly contacted during this time.”
“I’m going crazy. If you’ve been plotting something like this, please tell me in advance. What is this in the middle of the night?”
“That’s not to say it was top-secret. It’s no wonder that the lord of the castle joined hands with the royal family to defeat Orcules.”
The sisters were summoned by Felik Barker while working at their adoptive father’s tavern as usual.
He seemed urgent, but he didn’t explain anything and told me to prepare for a fight, and he put me on a military wagon with the clan members who arrived as soon as I packed my equipment.
“Wait a minute, hit Orculis? I haven’t heard of that? I heard that there is a riot in the east and they are going to support… Besides, Wanga? What kind of shit is that? hold my hand?”
“Listening to the story, the royal family contacted the lord of the castle a while ago. I don’t know what the conversation was about there… but at this point, an estimate won’t come out.”
“Well, even from the royal family’s point of view, Orcules must have been a thorn in the eye. The interests of the lord of the castle coincided.”
“Can’t that be the reason why the knights supported by the royal family are fighting Orculis?”
“…I guess that’s why the lord of the castle didn’t tell us until the day.”
“That’s right. They’ll be the core force anyway. We just have to go and focus on surviving.”
“Ha, if I knew this would happen, I would have been sleeping outside the castle like an iron mask, but I was in the castle for no reason and was immediately dragged away.”
“Be careful with the Durborn horse.”
“Ah… a slip of the tongue.”
“And don’t complain too much, you guys too. Once this is resolved, due to the nature of the lord of the castle, you will be able to properly receive the price.”
The clan’s leader, Felik Barker, took care of the overheated atmosphere.
and how long has it been
Soon after running for a while, the carriage stopped at the eastern entrance of Noark.
“I’ll have to walk from here.”
The eastern part, which seemed to have already had several battles, was full of blood from its borders.
Remnants of collapsed buildings and tattered corpses.
I heard something explode here and there, and it was full of screams from people more desperate than those of Banshee.
“Someone! How long are you going to block the road? Get off now! Can’t you see more wagons coming from behind?”
Amelia followed them out.
My body, which had calmed down while I was coming, was shaking again.
Her sister held her hand warmly.
“Don’t worry too much. My sister will protect you…”
The words of a trustworthy sister who has never broken a promise.
Still, it was not easy to calm down.
No, rather…….
Kwak.
The stronger the power in her sister’s gripped hands, the more Amelia felt a deep ominous feeling.
***
After the flashback, Amelia slowly opened her eyes.
It was clear where to go.
After Orculis made it his base, the eastern part of Noark gradually escaped from the influence of the castle lord and became independent.
“Boo fire!!”
Now people simply assume that there was a fire there, but in reality there is a war going on there.
And the past self…
‘I’m sure he’s on his way to the East in a wagon right now.’
It was a memory from 20 years ago, and it was the first large-scale battle she had experienced at the time, so she was distracted, but Amelia even vaguely remembered what kind of movement she was moving at that time.
Because it was not a memory that I could forget even though I wanted to forget it.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that her life over the past 20 years has been a day in which she looked back on today countless times and ruminated with regret.
Tadat.
Amelia spurred on her feet and moved toward her destination.
Hundreds of explorers who had been summoned that day without knowing anything by the lord of the castle were camped in the eastern region after a long drive.
Looking around, she soon found the person she was looking for.
“Here you are.”
“Who… uh Emily?”
Soon after, Amelia approached and spoke to him, and Felik Barker, who was waiting for battle, widened his eyes.
“How are you here?”
It’s nice to see you here, but it seems to be a little questionable.
“It was noisy, so when I went to the castle, they sent me here. On the way, I heard about the situation from others.”
“Oh, I see… But where is the iron mask?”
“I was drunk and sleeping, so I just left it.” “Hmm, no matter
how much it is
… To come with such precious power…”
At her words, Felik Barker expressed regret, but did not find the content itself strange.
When the barbarian was late, it was because he often made excuses for drinking too much the night before.
“Well, he must have never thought something like this would happen today. Then you’d better assume that he’s not coming.”
Afterwards, Amelia stood by her younger self and her sister. Then the sisters awkwardly greeted me.
“Hello…….”
Unlike the barbarian who was beaten up, Amelia hadn’t interacted with the two other than necessary conversations for over several months.
It’s because I couldn’t speak for some reason when I stood in front of him.
But this time, he forced himself to open his mouth.
“Stay attached.”
“……yes?”
“That way I can protect you.”
“Ah yes……!”
The sisters, who are not close but know of Amelia’s outstanding skills, brightened their faces at her words.
He didn’t seem to know why he was doing well all of a sudden.
“Prepare for battle!”
Anyway, as soon as the formation was formed, it was time for the group she belonged to to go to the front line.
The group, which was divided into dozens, took turns taking the forefront and took turns taking breaks…… There
was nothing very dangerous right now.
That’s because the battle for the eradication is being carried out by the troops sent by the royal family and the elites of the castle lord who have heard about today’s plan in advance.
“They’re trying to escape! Kill them!”
The goal of the troops gathered here is not to wipe out, but to encircle.
How strong would it be if the remnants escaping from the burning city were strong?
A one-sided slaughter followed.
“It seems that the lord of the castle has made up his mind completely.”
“Looking at it, it seems that the average citizen is almost 70%. Is it really okay to kill all of them like this?”
“Eh, that’s stupid. You can’t tell them apart. What if an Orcules member pretends to be a citizen and escapes?”
“That’s true …….”
There were also those who expressed skepticism about the one-sided battle, but it was only a minority. All of them are good at killing people.
“Does anyone remember what the Commander said earlier? How much was it for the two of you?”
“I don’t remember very well, but if the current trend is going, I think it would be better than going on an expedition at least once.”
“Hey! Did you hear? Beaters! Don’t fight, just watch your ears! Oh, take off everything you wear that looks expensive!”
Most of them were happy to say that they could earn a high income by doing easy labor.
However, Amelia’s expression hardened.
Even though she was born in this city and grew up with them, these ways of thinking still made her uncomfortable… and
at least one of them knew about them.
That this festive atmosphere is only for a moment, and soon the road to hell will unfold.
“What is it, who is walking alone over there?”
Even in the middle of the noise, someone’s muttering was especially loud.
Amelia hurriedly turned her head.
“…Are you crazy?”
A man walking alone from the front caught my eye.
Considering that many escape attempts so far have started with at least a few hundred people, it was a very heterogeneous sight.
But……
turbug.
As the man got closer and closer, the observers sensed a sense of incongruity.
Turbuck.
A black uniform covered in blood.
It’s just wet, but there’s not a single scratch on the clothes.
Seeing them stained with red blood, it’s not like they weren’t lucky enough to come all the way here.
Turbuck.
What is unusual is the sword worn on the waist.
Like looters who recognize the value of an object like a ghost, as the distance got closer and closer, everyone realized that the sword was not an ordinary object.
The sword itself is very ordinary… but
the name of the man who wears that ordinary sword is very famous in this city.
“…Hey, isn’t that what I’m thinking right now? Please tell me I misunderstood.”
“…….”
“Does anyone know the face?”
A commotion arose among the waiting explorers.
Some believed in their instincts and took a step back, while others were busy denying that it would not be.
but.
Trude-.
Soon, when the man narrowed the distance to 50m.
Whii-i-iik-!
A moment of silence came as the flames emitted by a flame-type power extinguished before reaching the man.
Because it was such a famous ability.
“The second unspoken spirit…….”
[Unspoken spirit].
The authority possessed by the Lord of Silence, the ruler of the 5th floor.
This incomprehensible power of ignoring the fundamental power of explorers, even in the long history, has been possessed by less than ten people… In the present age, only one is known
.
“Bar traitor…”
The only criminal with the nickname ‘traitor’.
He is the one who created the group called Orculis with his own hands…
An undefeated swordsman who was once called ‘The Swordsman’.
Ricardo Ruechen Prague.
The man’s appearance caused confusion.
“Why is this man here…”
“Wanga! They say they’re fighting the guys sent by the royal family
! ” The man didn’t answer any of their questions. He just
quietly
raised his sword as if he wasn’t interested.
He started to run away.
But soon, the moment the man’s sword was swung.
A flash-!
A flash of light that seemed like a momentary flash.
And…
A sudden flash-!
An old memory that I had looked into countless times over the past 20 years once again. started to reproduce.
