Chapter 668 – 668. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family

668. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family

I handed him the sword and armor. It is the finest equipment made by Dwarf slaves. More than 70% of it is made of silver, so it has the best effect against the undead.

“Ji, are you telling me to fight the undead right now?”

“Yes.”

“Me, I have never been professionally trained in swordsmanship. I just learned it for a while. I’ve never hunted even small animals, let alone monsters! My, if I go out, I will die! Wouldn’t the baron be in trouble if I died too!”

“I and the knights will protect you from dying. It is necessary for the reputation of the prince.”

“If the baron does and praises me….”

“It is more effective for the prince to act once than for me to do it. So wear it quickly.”

As I growled, the startled Prince put on his armor. I didn’t even know how to wear it, so I managed to put it on with the help of a royal knight. The sword prince got off the carriage with trembling legs.

“I, Baron. What should I do… ?”

“You just have to fight the undead. Show your mettle. Prince.”

“I, fight them… ? Can not be done! I will die!”

The prince looked straight ahead and shook his head. In front of them, starting with low-quality undead monsters like zombies and skeletons, there was a large army of undead that could never be ignored, such as ghosts, races, durahans, and death knights.

In terms of numbers, it reached roughly 20,000. Of course, most of them were made up of the lower undead.

“Believe me and the knights. Could it be that you don’t trust us?”

The knights and soldiers here are the elite of the elite. In terms of the number of people who can fight here, there are more than 5,000 people. There are also many knights, so even if there are over 20,000 undead, if you focus on defense, you can easily overcome them.

“Believe! I believe…. What if I get hit by a blinding attack? I have a noble duty to bear the throne. I can’t die here….”

“It looks like the prince is going to wield the sword the wrong way, blinded by his patheticness. Go forward and show your bravery before I go blind. Hurry!”

“I, Baron! The sword, the blade touched my back! Okay, put down your sword!”

“It’s not a sword, it’s an auror. Would you openly point your sword at the prince’s back?”

“…….”

The prince lunged forward with his pale face. It looks like I’m more terrifying than the undead. I glanced behind me as I followed the knights and the prince.

“Don’t panic! We can overcome it! Let the wounded stand back, and let the unharmed raise stones to attack the undead! We have to use a wagon to block the front, collect unnecessary luggage and light a fire that can be said to be the opposite of the undead!”

Princess Eileen gives instructions without a break. She had a charisma that captivated her people. If left alone, she would end up helping only Princess Eileen.

I opened my mouth wide and breathed in the cold air.

“The prince himself goes to the battlefield! Don’t back down everyone! The prince’s sword brings a second death to those dead bodies!”

All eyes turned to Prince Aiden. The prince felt their gaze and raised his sword. As I got closer, I noticed the prince’s body trembled. As expected, Prince Aiden has a vassal temperament somewhere.

“Yeah, yes! I will kill these rotten bastards again!”

“Waaaaa!”

The morale of the knights and soldiers rose. A prince who goes directly to the battlefield. He had no choice but to stand out from Princess Eileen, who was giving instructions from behind.

“Yaaaaa!”

Prince Aiden swung his sword at the zombie. The effect of the dwarves’ anti-undead sword was outstanding. It cut open the zombie’s body as neatly as cutting off the head.

“I, I….”

Prince Aiden, who wielded the sword more than anyone else here, was the most embarrassed and delighted.

“I defeated the undead!”

Cried the prince. It’s like an adrenaline rush. I didn’t stop him and silently dealt with the undead around him. It was better than screaming that zombies were scary.

‘Now it’s about cleaning up Princess Eileen. If the princess’s command continues to the end, it will be the princess who takes the glory. Because the princess’s command has been correct up until now. Where is Yuria?’

I gave three orders to Yuria.

The first is the destruction of undead dungeons and the luring of large numbers of undead. It worked.

The second is the assassination of the Duke of Sunheight in chaotic circumstances. No matter how I thought about it, it seemed that the Duke of Sun Heights would interfere with me, so he took this opportunity to deal with it.

The third is the kidnapping of Princess Eileen. Take the princess out of the funeral procession. Doesn’t kill Just don’t let the funeral end. Then her reputation will go down.

Wow! Bang!

The sound of battle, like an explosion, could be heard from behind. The Undead Legion came from the front and there were no enemies behind. In other words, this battle sound was caused by Yuria. I had a hunch that things were wrong.

‘Shit. Northern Giant. Marquis Lukman Petras!’

A week ago, Marquis Lukeman Petras joined the ranks when they stopped by in the north. It seems he was near the Duke of Sunheight.

‘It’s the worst case I expected.’

Marquis Petras is the Master. Even if he is YuRia, he can’t be easily defeated unless he puts his full effort into it. Right now, Yuria was fighting while hiding her powers a little while hiding her form with her magic. And.

‘Marquis Petras shouldn’t die here right now. Later, when the war rages on, the North will collapse without him.’

Regarding the Marquis of Petras, Yuria had said it herself.

‘Even if we can’t, we have to kidnap Princess Eileen. Yuria would know that too, so she would subdue or shake off Marquis Petras. Now that the plan has started, there’s no need to feel nervous.’

I clutched at the blade and focused on my work. I had to protect Prince Aiden and help him thrive.

“These rotten things! I’ll wipe you all out! I am the prince of Lapelli!”

Prince Aiden shouted and swung his sword. He was very excited as he tasted the victory. In reality, it’s just skills and whatnot. And the dangerous undead are first discovered and dealt with by Ploy and me. The only ones cut by Prince Aiden’s sword are zombies and skeletons.

“I, I am the prince!”

Perhaps Prince Aiden’s inferiority complex exploded.

•••

An hour has passed.

It gets hard gradually Prince Aiden is already exhausted and is hiding among the knights. And in the back….

Wow! Bang!

Yuria and Marquis Petras are still fighting. I remembered the Marquis of Petras. The Marquis of Petras once came to the estate. He and I exchanged javelins and I lost. He was a master with outstanding skills.

“Enemies!”

I heard someone’s voice. Knowing that the enemy was not pointing at the undead, he raised his head.

“Enemies!”

A voice came from behind.

“Stop! They’re coming from behind! STOP!!!”

“Aaaaagh!”

“Article! My knight! What are you doing! Protect me… Aaaaagh!”

“Lapelli Royal Knights! Sacrifice your life to protect the princess!”

I climbed onto the wagon and checked the back of the ranks. Unidentified enemies armed with armor and swords were running toward the princess.

‘Mercenary? No. If you look closely at those bastards, their movements are steady. My hands and feet fit well…. They are professionally educated guys. Some of the movements are out of the ordinary. It’s a knight.’

They are not in my plans. And YuRia was also unexpected.

‘Did you secretly follow me from behind? Or was it a nearby ambush? What are you guys doing? No way….’

The movements of the guys who were aiming for the princess were unusual. The royal knights are busy. He couldn’t let Princess Eileen die like this.

“Master?!”

“Ploy! Protect the prince!”

If you buy Ploy and his here, you’ll do my bidding perfectly.

‘Acceleration.’

Increased the speed by using the skill. While jumping on top of the carriage, I arrived in front of Princess Eileen. Princess Eileen was on top of the carriage to command. I plunged my sword into the heart of the enemy who was aiming for Princess Eileen, grabbed her by the waist, and went down the carriage. It was easier to deal with enemies at the bottom of the wagon than at the top.

“Baron Prucus?!”

“Yes. Princess Eileen. I am Baron Pruckus.”

I looked around. The royal knights were fighting madly. Some of them have already died and become corpses.

“The baron… No, why did the baron come to rescue me?”

“You can talk comfortably without being shy.”

“…… Why are you saving me? Wouldn’t it be better for the baron if I died?”

“I’m sorry. Princess. I am a noble from Lapelli.”

“I thought it was the baron’s trick.”

“Even if I’m the princess’s political opponent, I won’t do anything like this.”

“Princess Eileen! Die aaaaa!”

I gripped the sword tightly with both hands and severed the body of the attacking guy with a strong aura. Blood splattered everywhere. Arrows are flying The target is not me, but Princess Eileen.

‘In an instant.’

He raised his sword and slashed all the arrows.

“The princess seems to be popular. Do you know who they are?”

“…… If it’s not your trick, it’s probably the soldiers of the kingdom of Vitrasse.”

Vitrasse Kingdom.

It is a neighboring country to the west of Rapelli Kingdom. And, as the saying goes, a neighboring country is a distant country, and relations were not as good as those of the Baltic Kingdom.

“The prince doesn’t pay attention and only targets the princess.”

“From the perspective of the kingdom of Vitrace, I know that I shouldn’t be the king.”

Well, Princess Eileen is quite capable.

I brandished her sword in front of her, Princess Eileen, and defended her fiercely. The number of enemies who died at my hands alone exceeded 20. Princess Eileen, who had found her composure, watched the situation with her arms crossed.

“Baron. Your skills are excellent. It is too wasteful to be under my brother. Don’t you want to come to me?”

“If the princess becomes my woman, I will think positively.”

“You say no as a bad joke. It was a sincere suggestion… My heart aches.”

“I am not joking.”

“Done. I won’t give up.”

Marquis Petras, who was dealing with Yuria, joined the battle. Yuria tried to pull herself out immediately, but Marquis Petras was persistently aiming for her, so she couldn’t escape easily, and finally managed to escape successfully. Marquis Petras began to slaughter the enemies as if to relieve his anger at missing Yuria. Three or more enemies were swept away with each swing of his huge spear.

As the situation reversed, the enemies began to flee. There is me who protects Princess Eileen, and there is Marquis Pertas who shows unparalleled power. His morale plummeted.

I stopped the bleeding by touching my left shoulder. No matter how much I was, I couldn’t completely stop my enemies without getting hurt.

“Princess Eileen. Why are you quiet? Wouldn’t it be to the princess’s advantage to even command?”

“It is my consideration for the baron. The baron must have planned to make his older brother the main character in this case. I will match you. No more conducting.”

I lowered my sword and looked at Princess Eileen.

“Well, thank you. It’s worth saving him.”

“I tell you, this is just consideration for the baron. The debt that saved my life will be paid off later.”

He was so different that he couldn’t even be compared to Aiden. It’s to the point where I want to throw it away.

Afterwards, Marquis Petras jumped into the undead army. The battle was over in less than three hours. There were roughly 2,000 casualties. The Duke of Sun Heights only injured his right arm, but his life was not threatened.

I wanted Prince Aiden’s fame to rise, but my fame spread even more.

“I heard that Baron Pruckus defended Princess Eileen against 30 knights.”

“30 knights? I heard 40 people. A royal knight I knew was nearby, and how excited he was when he said he was no different from a hero in history.”

“It is indeed the lineage of the Margrave of Pruckus.”

Prince Aiden, disappointed, shut himself in his carriage. Still, it was true that his reputation had improved a little.

‘…… This must be 100% the work of Princess Eileen.’

It wasn’t as planned, but my growing reputation wasn’t a bad thing.
