Chapter 115 – 115. Spartal (3)

-Capital Vergina / Duke Pantalone’s residence 15:30-

“I have never called the knights of Camelot here, but are the knights of Camelot just creeping into the duke’s house?”

A middle-aged man with blue hair with deep anger.

The energy felt in a middle-aged man with a stylish beard.

And three knights surrounding him and his wives.

And the article behind it.

A young man with blonde hair.

Although he was a light officer compared to other knights, he was neatly dressed and had a beard, and his name was Knight of the Round Table of Camelot.

‘Agravain’.

Gawain’s brother.

Rod’s second son.

And in front of him is ‘Gaheris’ and ‘Gareth.’

Each female knight has short blonde hair and neatly trimmed hair. And a female knight with blonde hair tied in a ponytail.

Lastly, there is a heavily armed female knight with a cross drawn on a huge shield, and like a cross on her shield, her sword is also in the shape of a cross.

She looks relatively younger than the other two and her name is Lancelot’s daughter.

‘Galahad’.

What they all had in common was that they didn’t look very pleased, and despite this, they were pointing their swords at the women in order to carry out orders.

Words about whether this is right are rushing up my throat.

Pointing his sword at a young woman and putting pressure on Duke Pantalone was not something a knight should do.

Agravaine and these three knights entered the official residence of the Duke of Pantalone, and although there were guards and knights under their command, there was at least no one in this world who could stop them, who were famous knights among the knights of the Round Table.

That’s how they were putting pressure on Elleud Pantalone, and that’s why they couldn’t attack easily even in that situation.

Eleuard Pantalone, whom I thought was an older tiger than expected, was stronger.

Okay.

Does this look like a middle-aged person over 50?

Looking at it right now, even if these three attacked at the same time, even these three would not be able to guarantee a winner.

The only advantage was that Ragone Eleuard had his wives under his protection, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

“Wow, no matter how bad Phrygia is, she is a knight who raises her sword and attacks the duke of a country. Have you given up on chivalry?”

“Chivalry is being loyal to the lord and opening the way for the lord. Yes, that is the chivalry of Camelot. When I came to talk about the [Treaty], I was told that I had to go to each and every one of them and make a unanimous treaty. “You made it a bother.”

“You came to the old man in the back room and threatened him when you could have just stamped him. Your brother will cry in the afterlife. At least he was a knight among knights, according to my daughter.”

Now unconscious,

Several letters sent to Phrygia through her mail by her daughter, who was wandering about her life and death.

Two years ago, when her daughter returned home in a moribund state with only her life clinging to life, Eleuard could only weep loudly.

It was a tragedy for Pantalone and a tragedy for Phrygia that her daughter, who was the pride of the family and, by extension, of Frisia, returned neither dead nor alive.

And what followed was a handwritten letter that appeared to have been written by the person who had saved her daughter’s life.

-I will definitely rescue your daughter. Wait and have hope. Geumtaeyang will never abandon his friends. If I cannot return, please find and send this letter to [Dick Johnson].

Gold sun.

I once heard it was called the Golden Sun.

The son of Marcus Dawn Bringer, the archon of Magia in the distance.

Clark Dunn Bringer.

He barely saved his daughter’s life and returned her injured body to Phrygia.

However, the news of Clark and Geumtaeyang was still disappointing, and to make matters worse, Edward rushed to the border carrying his daughter’s body.

Hanging out there with the elves of Elvenheim.

He is under pressure from both inside and outside, and in particular, the political pressure Eleuard has received due to Edward collaborating with the elves is indescribable, and even in Camelot, the Knights of the Round Table, including Agravaine, are directly moving to force Camelot to conclude a treaty that is extremely advantageous to Camelot. , I was going around [Persuading] Them to agree.

I heard that Agra Bain’s brother was Gawain, whom her daughter praised as one of her knights.

It wasn’t that he was particularly prejudiced against women, but he seemed to be fooled by the behavior of a seductress named Guinevere, and it was even more disappointing because he seemed to be faithfully following her plan.

And when the story of his brother comes out, Agravain’s face distorts and he scolds him.

“…Shut up. Do you still think you can be treated as the Duke of Frisia? We’re almost there. The King of Frisia, the Parliament, the Nobles – everyone has signed the treaty. Now you There’s only one thing left. Think of your wives, Your Excellency. Then, your life is all you need-“

“Put it away, Lord Agravaine.”

Kaaaaang!!!

“Ugh?!”

And her first wife, Elina, took out her sword.

Then, Gareth was pushed by it for a moment, and at the same time, her second wife, Liz, also took out a heavy greatsword and pushed Gareth away.

“Pantalone dies with us even in death, and lives with us in life. Have you hidden behind Giabi and seen us as incapable of anything? Even if I break you, I will not bend. I would rather bite my tongue and die than hold on to Giabi’s feet. “I will not let Jiabi surrender to you.”

“…Then, as you wish, I will live in the underworld for 100 years…Ugh?!”

And at the same time, a slash flew at him.

He takes out the long sword from his waist and blocks the sudden slash, and the owner of the slash appears.

Agravain, and the place where Galahad, Gaheris, Gareth, and the Pantalone family are located.

A canine woman with long black hair appeared in the midst of them.

Her brown eyes.

And it was a far cry from Freesia’s outfit, a two-button skirt and sleeveless shirt that went up to her chest. A long coat worn over it.

It’s almost like they’re not armed at all.

However, the sight of her tall blade, which appeared to be extending from her hand, being retracted and ready to be drawn, showed that she was a skilled swordsman.

And she spoke to Agravaine with admiration.

“Indeed, that’s great. A knight is a knight. Of course, knights who are trained to fight with cold weapons like this can respond to sudden surprise attacks. But, you broke your wrist with that, right?”

It’s as they say.

The price of blocking the suddenly revealed slash of an intruder was not cheap.

At the same time, Gaheris, Gareth, and Galahad looked at her and became wary.

She felt no energy in her.

No, she was wary because she felt no energy, and at the same time, she could sense that approaching her would only lead to her death.

No energy was felt from her blade.

It was the type of blade used by the Yamatai of the East, and I also knew that their slashes were not attacks covered with sharp mana.

But-

“…What on earth are you?”

Galahad said, looking at her.

“You don’t need to know who I am. All I can say is that, at the request of my ‘master’, I will assist His Excellency the Duke here. So let me tell you, please step aside.”

“…Don’t be ridiculous! You just broke my arm…! The soldiers outside are still-“

“If you’re talking about those scarecrows outside, I’ll give you time to check for yourself.”

Did she really say that?

Agravain and Galahad noticed that it was extremely quiet outside.

And what was outside was so cruel that I couldn’t even open my eyes to see it.

All the soldiers, including the knights, were dead with their torsos split in half and separated into upper and lower parts, as if they had been cut by a single sword.

All 500 soldiers and knights died.

And there was no blood on her sword or clothes.

“What are you going to do? I don’t care if you want to die here by my sword.”

“…Kk, don’t be funny!! How did you get here-“

“Lord Agravaine.”

And Galahad said:

“Let’s step aside.”

“…Lord Galahad, what are you talking about? How did you get here!! I ran all the way here to fulfill King Arthur’s wish, and the high ground is just around the corner, so let’s retreat!? Don’t be funny, don’t be funny!!! “I’m going to come all the way here and then step down…”

Wow!!

“Big…Black-“

Galahad strikes Agravain in the solar plexus with his fist, knocking him out.

At the same time, Galahad looks at her.

He is the one who suddenly appeared and made everyone lose their catch.

That beast, presumed to be a Yamatai person, with black hair.

And if you stand up to that beastman’s sword, you will die.

Naturally, if they die here, the balance of power will instantly change.

“Oh, are you running away?”

And the female prisoner tilts her head as she looks at their judgment.

I thought they would attack at any moment, but that wasn’t the case.

And on the contrary, she had to feel bothered by such judgment.

If they attack you at all, you can just cut them all down, but if you have time to retreat and regroup, they will attack you even more bothersomely.

Galahad said, looking at her.

There is no shame in running away from a strong person.

But she had to know before that.

Where on earth does this monster come out and what is it?

“…If we fight a monster like you, we will surely die. The troops outside are not in a daze. How much blood have you got on your hands while wearing human skin?”

“Do you remember how many loaves of bread you ate?”

I can’t count.

The woman who spoke so indirectly.

And against the woman, the Duke of Pantalone did not let down her guard.

It was like the wolf had left and the tiger had come in, and there was no guarantee that she wouldn’t kill him.

And Galahad asks her:

“What’s your name?”

“Mine.”

After hearing the answer, Galahad spoke to Mine.

“…Remember this. You will regret blocking the path to Camelot.”

“You must be careful not to be swallowed up by the ‘chaos’ that will occur in the future. Hehe… If you kneel down, you might be able to survive.”

“There is no submission to a knight.”

“Ah, but you guys have already given in to Guinevere, right?”

“…”

Papdeuk-

And in the end, I couldn’t bear it.

Galahad’s sword and shield swing.

Kaaaaa!!!

And then Mine and Galahad slash at each other.

There is not a single inch of jungle.

Mine is still smiling. And of course she knows that the young knight in front of her did this out of anger.

But, there is also a price.

…

“…!!”

And then all of her armor disintegrates and falls to the floor.

Clang-

It’s not just armor.

These were armors containing the fairy’s protection, but they were all shattered and falling down. In the meantime, several dozen slashes were made and all of Galahad’s armor was shattered, and all that was left was the chain mail and leather armor she wore inside.

Then, Mine covered her mouth, laughed loudly, and spoke to Galahad as if inviting him to do so.

“Why don’t you get a new set of armor at this point? If it’s so worn out that it falls apart after just a few sword strikes, it’s not enough to save your life in a rough battlefield. Do you understand?”

In other words, it was the final warning.

A warning to get out quickly before it kills you.

I committed this out of anger, but the price was too great.

“I will not forget this shame.”

“If you have a chance to avenge that humiliation, yes, come anytime. I won’t hide or run away.”

“…”

Papdeuk-

With the sound of Galahad gnashing his teeth, Gaheris and Gareth took Agravain out. Finally, Gareth looked around for a moment, then looked at Duke Pantalone and said.

“Well, if anything, Your Excellency the Duke! Please, I hope you make a decision quickly! The war situation is already tilted. So…If you surrender, since this is the house of Gawain’s brother’s comrade, I will do my best to save him. “I’ll give it to you!!”

“…I refuse. Didn’t you just say that a knight won’t bend even if he breaks?”

“Wow, I definitely suggested it, Your Excellency the Duke!”

After saying that, Gareth also leaves.

And Mine clicked her tongue and said to Gareth.

“If it’s teabagging, it’s quite sophisticated, and if it’s naive, it’s amazing.”

How could someone do something like that even after so much blood? Isn’t that really crazy in its own way?

Anyway, at the request of Dick and Clark, Mine crossed space and crossed from Spartal to Vergina.

And just as Dick said, Duke Pantalone is in danger.

Given the war situation, Elvenheim will also move faster, and Camelot will also gradually accelerate to devour Phrygia.

Iolaus, I don’t know what the King is doing in this situation, but the driving force that is holding on to Phrygia right now is the Duke of Pantalone.

Of course, when everyone gave in, only Duke Pantalone held out until the end, and even though he prepared for the final fight, the soldiers and knights in Camelot were strangely strengthened.

Against the Knights of the Round Table, ordinary soldiers and vassals were cut down like fallen leaves, and the only one left was Eleuard.

In the end, I thought we would all die together today, but thanks to an unidentified intruder, we saved our lives for a little while.

And this intruder, as long as he doesn’t target him.

“…Greetings, His Excellency Duke Pantalone. My name is Mine. I am the messenger.”

“…A messenger? A swordsman like a noble woman is a messenger.”

Galahad is an opponent he cannot guarantee even if he faces him. The swordsman who dismantled the opponent’s armor in a single moment was a messenger.

Whose messenger is she?

“First of all, the person who was asked to do this said he would understand if I told him this.”

“What do you mean?”

“…It’s time for the old lion to come down and the young lioness to go up. If you tell him, father, he will tell you.”

“…”

And Eleuard, who heard those words, immediately burst into laughter.

It’s worth knowing who did it.

And of course those words came out.

These were words that only Elizabeth could exclaim with excitement, and no one could say such things to the Duke of Eleuard. Elizabeth had already surpassed her own level, and the only thing left for her to do was to lay the foundation for Elizabeth to ascend to her position as duke.

…

But now it’s all messed up.

Additionally, the last words left by Geum Taeyang.

Those words that said she would definitely save her comrades.

It was clear that he kept his word.

“…Is it the golden sun? Was the golden sun successful?”

Clark Dunn Bringer.

He definitely kept his promise.

However, although only they can know those words, someone else may know them and say them. Even Edward said those words, and at the same time, Elizabeth burst into her alter with a sealed crystal and declared herself Margrave.

There were many grounds for doubt in many ways.

“But that alone is still hard to believe. There are so many scams using this. Most of all, thank you for helping me, but I need more certainty.”

“Would you believe this?”

And what was brought out soon after.

Pantalone’s family mark.

A bow and a wooden club. And the shape of Philoctetes, who inherited the bow and armor of Alcaides the Great, with a snake drawn on it.

A bow coated with ‘Hydra’ poison that only the head of Pantalone can use.

That and the family emblem depicting a nine-headed hydra.

It was the family crest that adorned Elizabeth’s pauldron, and a receipt engraved on it.

A receipt from [Return to Elizabeth] In which Batistan said that he would present it to Elizabeth when she returned someday.

And Batistan’s handwriting.

-Master, now Pantalone can be revived.

…I’m coming back to life.

And soon after, Elizabeth’s trademark was drawn.

His skill in handling sword techniques is at its peak, surpassing even his own skills.

It was the newly drawn Pantalone coat of arms drawn by Elizabeth.

There was a blue engraved sentence drawn with an oxide layer created by the Auror Blade, something that only Elizabeth could do.

“…Ah, ah…Elizabeth, finally. You have finally returned. My daughter, my pride, the pride of our family…”

“Elizabeth…Is back.”

First wife Elina. And her second wife, Elizabeth’s mother Liz. The two were filled with emotion as they looked at Pantalone’s coat of arms, which only Elisabeth could do, and at the same time, Mine handed over her letter paper.

And without any more doubts, she received the letter from Mine.

And soon after, upon opening her letter, Eleuard had to face her first blunt words from Elizabeth:

-Father, I caught the golden sun.

“…”

What?

-Geumtaeyang, I ate it.

The second thing he said was this.

What?

Last words.

-Let’s get ready to see your son-in-law’s face soon.

…Crazy.

Before Elizabeth became Margrave, while the Duke of Pantalone’s main family was looking for influential people from all over the world, influential people and powerful people who could be brought in as Pantalone’s vassals, she was the one whom Elizabeth was urging.

-You must bring this person.

-Why do you think that, Elizabeth?

-That’s because they have no patriotism toward their country, but they take terrible care of their families. Naturally, if we welcome him as a vassal, Pantalone will greatly prosper. Furthermore, we will be able to save the people of Frisia.

It was someone who showed that much interest.

She said that she participated in the expedition because of noblesse oblige, but she also said that she was going because she was confident that the golden sun would come.

She said she would personally play at the front and recruit Geum Taeyang.

Then he became a corpse and came to a state of half-death, but he came back to life and ate the golden sun and captured it.

…

If you are an aristocratic family, this is definitely the right thing to do.

Even in the royal family, there was talk of marriage, but Elizabeth’s value to Geumtaeyang was enough to put that aside.

And another letter said:

-I will pull out the elves hiding in Elvenheim and Vergina from here. Currently, Clark is quite tired from saving me, so his use of magic is limited. And please let me know that I have returned.

Again, Clark is limited in his ability to use magic right now. He can’t possibly get away with this.

Because there are restrictions, I’m especially grinding my teeth in Elvenheim.

And the person who gave that letter will protect his father and mother.

I will say one more time…

The fact that ‘Clarke’ has become weaker, shouldn’t it go away?

By the time you receive this letter, we will be in Spartal. Please refer to this.

That’s the end.

And Eleuard, who read the letters, laughed.

Well, it’s rather strange that a man and a woman go on a trip for 5 years and no feelings develop.

She said so openly and bluntly that she had eaten it.

During my travels, I often saw blunt language in my letters.

When I came back, I was going to give him speech and behavior training, but I couldn’t do that.

It was right that she should rejoice in this moment when her daughter, whom she had almost lost, was given life once again.

Moreover, Clark kept his promise.

Of course, to become a man of Pantalone, one must be one who keeps his ‘oath’. The conditions that Eleuard had set forth were perfectly satisfied. There was no point in doubting any more when the evidence was already solid.

Her daughter returned.

She has lived.

Although he met him through a letter rather than in person, Eleuard was nonetheless able to harbor hope.

It is like the golden sun.

A wizard who is with his daughter and has come back alive from the battle with the Demon King will definitely be able to turn this unfavorable situation around, and since he said he will draw all the aggro from there, Elizabeth and Geumtaeyang will definitely be defeated.

According to his reputation, he was a very arrogant and rude Archmage.

Being called an Arch Mage means you have certain skills, and seeing as it is written that he survived a close battle with the Demon King, his strength is beyond imagination.

Plus, the tenacity with which he saved Elizabeth.

The contents of the letter contain various stories.

From what I heard, he refused the offer from the Emperor of Uruk and came to Phrygia to keep his oath, and judging from the fact that he was rescued, his skills are also evident.

The point of repeatedly emphasizing that Geumtaeyang cannot use magic is that he hopes to spread it. Quite quietly.

If so, the ganja who monitor Pantalone’s information will use it to target the Golden Sun. If so, there will be a gap in the capital and an opportunity for a counterattack can be seized.

Eleuard smiled as she watched her daughter build up.

“…Have you seen such a clever daughter?”

“Have you made your decision? If you keep moving like this, I will escort His Excellency the Duke.”

“I will do so. Please take care of me, Lord Mine.”

“Please call me Mine. I am not a knight, I am just a bodyguard. And if possible, please take good care of Geumtaeyang. I will tell you about the situation here through my master, and we can exchange opinions.”

“…Okay, first, tell Geumtaeyang a word.”

And Eleuard grinned and told Mine what he wanted to say to Geumtaeyang.

“Pantalone welcomes you.”
