Chapter 257 – Knights of the Round Table (1)

An object of envy that is admired by all the people of the empire, the Royal Knight. A knight of the round table who boasts overwhelming strength even among such royal knights.

Aruru belonged to such a knight of the Round Table, but she did not live a glamorous and high self-esteem life that others might think.

13 seats out of 13 knights. In other words, inferior. She could not readily accept the fact that she, who was the best in terms of her self-confidence her, was in last place.

Thus, when her emperor himself gave her orders her to her her. It was something that she dare not explain about her impression and sense of accomplishment that she received.

“He….”

Upon receiving her montage, she realized that the face of her was very familiar. When I asked where I had seen her, she was the escort knight who was living life at the party.

‘The nobleman’s escort knight who was summoned by His Majesty the Emperor….’

Aruru couldn’t understand what she was doing while alone with the emperor and why she ordered the royal knights to arrest them.

I must have committed an unspeakable rudeness. Thinking so, she led her knights and headed for the inn where Dojin was.

It is hard to believe that she is tied up by a nobleman. She ordered the knights to beat everyone inside, and in case she escaped through the window, she let go of her throat and shouted outside.

“Listen! Here is His Imperial Majesty’s decree His, so that the criminals show themselves immediately!”

After a while, those inside came rushing out. No one was condescending in front of the Royal Knight who had brought the Emperor’s decree.

Except for one person.

‘Isn’t it coming out?’

She sensed her aura her lingering in her inn room her. Two strong auras, one friendly aura, and one ordinary person who can’t even feel it because of it.

Recalling that there were three people reported to her, Aruru calmed her down slightly and approached the front of the room where they were.

And she kicked the door open. The rusty hinges didn’t stop her kick her. Poo-! Trampling on the knocked-down door, she went inside and shouted.

“Come out, you sons of heinous criminals.”

Do-jin, who was changing her clothes inside her, and Aruru, who met her eyes her, gently held out a hammer.

“See you again… I said I’d kill you the next time we met!”

Her eyes her immediately scan the room. Even before she came in, she would have had four… She figured out where the other three had gone.

Before long, she notices that the window behind Do-jin is slightly open. Thank god. The Royal Knights were waiting below, so they wouldn’t be able to escape so easily.

Aruru, having located all of her criminals her, shouted at Dojin.

“Surrender. You bastard criminal!”

“Criminal?”

“Okay!”

After changing all of her clothes her, Dojin raised her sword without saying anything. The knights took it as a sign of resistance and reacted violently.

So, she attempted to suppress it with force. Knights clad in full armor charged at her.

The charge of the armored superman is reminiscent of a chariot, just like the ancient cavalrymen of Earth. There seems to be no way to stop it from seeming to break anything and run.

Sreung-!

“… What.”

Aruru, who was watching the knights rushing behind her, frowned as she watched her troops fall like fallen leaves in the cold wind.

Surprisingly, I didn’t see Dojin moving.

‘You missed it? I?’

It was a word that touched her pride in her. Although he gets teased for 13 seats, 13 seats- to put it another way, it meant that he was a talented person who was ranked in the top 10 throughout the entire empire.

She couldn’t easily admit that a new player stronger than herself appeared.

“It’s fun.”

As Aruru said, she immediately swung her hammer. It didn’t matter that her hallway was narrow and there was no space for her swing her.

Her hammer her contained mystery and sorcery. As soon as she swings, her hammer her accelerates in that direction.

Fuquaaaaagh-!

Like her rocket her, her magical energy her was sprayed, and the hammer that bounced out hit Dojin’s sword. Do-jin, who was thinking of throwing an attack, flew away without reacting to the sudden acceleration.

Do-jin, who smashed about three inn rooms and flew out of the building, soon found a hammer flying over him.

“Dooooo!”

Do-jin, who was avoiding the hammer by rolling on the floor and continuing to dodge the hammer that was swinging at him, realized that the hammer had no proper pattern.

‘Then what is it?’

What’s the point in just swinging a hammer? The hammer was just enough to contain her power.

As such, Do-jin was able to read her attack her. She was assisted by the tool, and the movement was faster than her muscles she showed, but then she took it into account and she had to react before him.

Took-.

“Uh?”

Pushing her elbow as it was swinging toward her, she moved to her side of her and hooked her foot of her. Surprisingly neat hanging all.

As a result, the hammer aiming for Do-jin hits the floor as it is.

Kwaaaaang-!

The hammer, which completely smashed the floor to the point where her body floated up in an instant, transmitted the reaction directly to Aruru’s body her.

The cost of a missed attack was high. Aruru looked down at her own arms her, all of which were broken, and her body her trembled.

“This, this damned criminal bastard….”

She looked up at Dojin with tears in her eyes. Do-jin looked down at her teary-eyed girl and slapped her chin just as she was.

With her arm she smashed, she could n’t defend her chin her, so Do-jin, who was looking at her stunned, brushed off the dust on her body her and went to the side of her street.

“You’re late. Host.”
“Sorry.”

There were women waiting for her there. A lot of knights dressed in the same armor as the knights who attacked Dojin earlier were lying around them.

Kanta, who was trampling on the knight’s head, stepped on her head strongly as if dealing with a resentful opponent, and asked Dojin.

“What are you going to do now? It looks like a wanted order has fallen.”

“Um- I don’t think so.”

“Why do you think so?”

“Because the pursuer is weaker than I thought.”

Said the emperor. This city is his nest his, and he tells the soldiers of his nest to come and aim for his own throat.

And the emperor was a dragon. The soldiers were too weak for a nest made by dragons.

“From what I’ve seen- it looks like the emperor wants to play a game now.”

“Game?”

“Okay. It’s a game where you risk each other’s lives.”

Do-jin wins when Do-jin gets in the way and decapitates the emperor.
If the emperor manages to stop him, she wins.

I remember seeing it often on Earth. That kind of strategy game was a folk game in the country where Dojin lived.

“He seems to think that all of this is a game.”

And if the opponent invites them to play, if the reward at the end is what Dojin is aiming for. Dojin thought it would be comfortable to ride the flow.

It would be easier this way than for the emperor, who was enraged by the refusal to play the game, to pour out all his troops and try to kill Do-jin.

“Kanta.”
“What is going on?”
“First- let’s go to your tribe.”
“… You came to the Empire at most, so let’s go out?”
“Okay.”

And if the emperor suggested a game-Do-jin agreed to do his best in his own way.

Wasn’t there a saying that you had to break through with your own strength? Break through by mobilizing all available means.

‘Wait a moment.’

Dojin glered at the imperial castle where the emperor would be, and headed toward the gate.

* * *

Aruru, who came to his senses, realized that he was lying in the ward of the Knights. Around him, not only he himself, but also numerous knights were lying on their backs and moaning.

She became a knight of the round table and could not lie still. She tried to raise her body as it was, but felt a throbbing pain and hesitated.

“I’m sorry-.”

As she lightly lowers her head, her casted arms her catch her eye her. If both arms had been shattered, there was no way the upper body of her would be intact.

Judging by the tingling pain rising from her ribs her, it was as if her entire upper body her had been shattered.

And knowing that the reason she was so smashed was her own mistake her, she bowed her head.

‘Embarrassing….’

The fight with Do-jin plays in my head. Thought to be a master of swordsmanship, he was also a master of swordsmanship.

With her first-ever bizarre technique her, she let go of her attack, and her body her, which fully bore the burden, was shattered.

It was to destroy my own body. It was an embarrassing thing to say anywhere.

“Are you awake?”

Just when she was blinking at her embarrassment, the doctor came and asked. Trying to get her body her up, she lay down on the doctor’s restraint and listened to her report her.

I did n’t hear anything about her arms her being crushed or that several ribs were missing from her shoulder her.

She was simply caught up in the fact that she had failed the emperor’s orders.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty… What did you say?”
“Your Majesty?”

As if he didn’t hear anything, the doctor tilted her head and went outside. She struggled with whether to take the reaction well or badly.

And after a while, she realized that she hadn’t had time to think about it.

“Are you okay?”
“Woe, Your Majesty the Emperor-Ah!”

When she saw the emperor’s face her entering her hospital room, she was startled and tried to raise her body her. She leaned back comfortably on the bed, feeling the emperor’s hand his.

Dare to lie on the bed in front of the emperor, she was restless, but the emperor didn’t care and asked.

“Yeah- what was he like?”

“Bah, I lost my guard! Next time, next time you can win!”

“—Are you serious?”

Hearing her words her, the emperor’s eyes teared up. She was the dragon’s eye that anyone standing in front of him would tell the truth.

Seeing those eyes, she trembled, but she carefully confessed her truth.

“Ah, it was strong… He was careless and sleeping, and I couldn’t see him swinging his sword her… If she tried to kill me, she would have died with a single knife….”

As a Knight of the Round Table, she said that she was the strongest knight in the empire, but she couldn’t tell a lie in front of her dragon face her, so she explained what she felt.

The emperor, who thought he would be disappointed, laughed out loud when he heard her words to surprise her.

Haha! Yes, you mean that? You, the Knight of the Round Table, are said to be so strong that you dare not win….”

“Yes, yes….”

“Good job.”

The emperor left the hospital room without saying that one word. Looking at her back her, Aruru felt that the Emperor of the Sunji was happy for some reason.
