“......Uh”

I that .

What woke me from a deep sleep was an inexplicable chill.

It’s not enough to cover the blanket, but it’s hard to ignore the cold. I tried to ignore it for a while, but the chill rising from my sweaty back

was just a little too much.

“I-Sir...

I grumbled and looked around the inner room, and the candles were all gone. I wondered if there was a strong draft, but it was a door and the windows were tightly closed.

While lighting the candle dish on the bedside table, Heila, who had been tucked into the seat next to her, was soundly asleep.

The naked body was not exposed because of the blanket pulled up to the nose. However, the tangled hair, immaculate shoulders, and the tear marks left around the eyes and cheeks

were enough to stimulate.

Maybe it’s because he came up with the image of him gasping and panting, not knowing what to do. The desire to tear the blanket right away and grab your hair soars.

“......Whoa.”

With a deep breath, he drew the heat that had risen from his belly again. After tidying up her ebony hair and trimming her futon, she stretched herself up and put on her pants.

A few pieces of coal were put in the bronze brazier to make a fire, and when the wooden window was opened, the bluish dawn sky spread out. In contrast to the sky dyed in a faint indigo color, the ground was immersed in a deeper darkness.

The reason I opened the window was because I missed the fresh morning air of early spring. However, the only thing coming on the map was the smell of burnt oil and oil. The smell reminds me of the fierce battle that took place on the castle wall...

The inner room was on the 3rd floor, but the castle tower itself stood tall on the hill, so it was much higher than the 3rd floor in terms of experience.

A city engulfed in darkness can be seen beyond the battlement walls, which are barely visible. It is a very peaceful atmosphere as if the battle, which had been lulled into a lull at night, had finally stopped at dawn.

It’s funny to see men with soot on their faces sitting or lying down unarmed and talking about ‘peace’. But in reality, the soldiers huddled together and taking a nap by the bonfire looked very peaceful.

Of course, this may also be a feeling of fullness that you can feel because you are looking down from a distance.

Well.... Isn’t it like filling your stomach in a warm room, eating rice cakes with a woman of exquisite beauty, and then waking up and looking around the scenery at dawn? If the world doesn’t look beautiful, that would be strange too.

When the cold wind came in and I was about to close the window,

I heard the chirping

of birds .

It was a sound I had heard in Mt. Graduil or Ridburn. I think Utequai told me that this is the call of a bunting...

Wait a minute. bunting?

There’s nothing like a mountain near High Castle, but a bunting?

The chills I felt when I woke up come back again. The feeling that hair all over the body is waking up.

As soon as I realized that the identity of the chill was murder, I turned around.

Shut.

A short sword that seemed to have risen out of the air flew aiming at the forehead. Instinctively, I reached out and grabbed the blackened blade. Blood flowed from the mouth that gripped the saaak blade. Before I could even feel the pain, I stretched out my left hand and grabbed In-young’s neck.

“Kek,”

“What is this rat?”

was an assassin

The dark glossy white hood and white cloak are heterogeneous. However, judging by the narrow sleeves, the black-painted shortsword, and the sheaths around the waist and chest, there was no doubt that he was an assassin.

And, crucially, his eyes were that of a murderer.

I laughed at those eyes and threw his face into the brazier.

“Oh, oh, billion!”

Tadak!

Between the desperate screams, a subtle sound that the criminal’s ears could not hear came. I quickly spread my bloody palm and aimed at the corner of the ceiling.

and bloody

bang!

Another assassin, who was about to throw himself as if he had fired a shotgun, was thrown into a corner.

“...Look at this.”

Two assassins came into the castle tower where the headquarters is located in the inner sanctuary of High Castle? No, it might have been more than two people, considering that they were exchanging signals with birdsong.

something is out of the ordinary I shouted straight out the window.

“Enemies! The enemy assassin has arrived!”

Pudeuk. Right after waking up the city, he squeezed the neck of the assassin who had his face buried in the furnace. No one was watching anyway, so I sucked up the blood to the fullest with the ‘red grip’.

Tsutsutsu.

“Hmm.”

It’s similar to what you get from a meal, but this qualitative feeling of satiety fills up...

If you mummify the corpse, you’ll buy an annoying misunderstanding.

“It’s a red raid-!”

Of course, Marshal Landry’s escort was very strict in discipline. There was no way he was attacked defenselessly.

In the end, it was said that they were attached head-on, but the Margrave’s escort knights had much better skills than ordinary knights.

But the knights were all killed?

“...Is it the true demon sword master?”

“yes? what did you say?”

“No no.”

Upon arriving at the Yeongju Hall, I encountered the veteran Confearer and other friendly soldiers, and I immediately issued an order.

“Gather all the lords and staff in the inner castle together in one place right now.”

“If there is one Nari-”

“The hall of the castle tower. When you’re done, follow General McNeil’s command there. Come on!”

The army of High Castle is a group that was completed by gathering troops from the lords of the western kingdom. If the lord or the knight officers representing the lord were all killed, this unstable group would be torn to shreds and collapse.

“shit.”

As I hurried my steps out of urgency, an unexpected shout came from somewhere.

“Wyvern! They are brave warriors!”

“what’?”

I looked up in the direction the soldiers were pointing, leaning against the battlements of the castle. Indeed, dozens of wyverns were flying across the bluish dawn sky. In broad daylight battles, the dragon knights who couldn’t even see their noses appeared out of nowhere.

“Ready to fire, ready to fire – shoot!”

The voice of the burnt Donell came from the castle tower. Including this place, the old guns on the walls of each fortress and watchtowers fired crossbow meat longer and thicker than spears.

The Wyverns, who were flying openly, immediately raised their altitude. Then, he threw down something prepared and turned his head without regret.

“What kind of tricks are those bastards doing again?”

By concentrating mana into his eyes, he raised his eyesight. So, when I checked what they had dropped, I screamed in amazement.

“It’s Mr. X’s Rune Doll! Stop it!”

A piece of stone the size of a tennis ball with an unusual shape as if it had been split in half. At first glance, it seemed that there were more than fifty pieces of stone with an unknown rune engraved on one side.

Some battle mages memorized spells to retrieve the rune stones, whether they heard my voice or prepared for Jin. Usually runestones are effective only when they are smashed, so there was no problem if they were completely received.

However, it was impossible to collect all the runestones that were scattered evenly throughout the city, not just concentrated in one place.

In fact, catching a stone fragment the size of a tennis ball falling from the sky was a bit far from magical. Among the battle mages, those with poor eyesight couldn’t even see the rune stones at all.

“Get down-!”

Immediately after someone shouted, several runes fell in front of the inner courtyard and the manor house.

Whoop!

Instead of explosions and flames, strange sounds like increased beeps were followed by flashes of light covering all directions.

“Uh huh?”

“Enemies!”

And in the next instant, dozens of Imperial Army soldiers were standing tightly in the place where the brilliance disappeared.

The name of the runestones that the dragon knights planted was ‘group transfer’. The enemy scattered these runes and pushed hundreds of troops into the fortress.

“Kill them all!”

As I rushed in with a shout, I quickly looked around and saw that the opponents were mercenaries. The mercenaries of the Duke of Abillam Bus, whom he treated harshly in Zelntri.

“Gheuheottong”

“Heh ju-geo!”

But the enemy’s condition is a little strange. It looks like a drug addict with his eyes wide open and even foam at his mouth.

“These crazy bastards.”

It didn’t look like a mercenary to fall in the middle of enemy lines, but rather than feel intimidated, scream and attack. Thanks to that, I was certain that they had been brainwashed by Alzenberg.

“Huh, I”

He made a large horizontal cut with the dark red blade that rose more than 2 meters high.

Awesome!

The sound of breaking the air was followed by the sound of something crunching. The five mercenaries, who had lost their sense of humor, were divided into ten lumps and fell to the ground.

My wrists and mouth feel numb because of countless cuts of metal and leather bones and flesh. Still, the effect of deliberately overdoing it was quite remarkable.

“What just.”

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa wow...

our soldiers who were in a state of confusion, stopped for a little over a second, and then shouted;

“A billion!”

“Push it!”

Resistance soldiers attack the enemy like a swarm of bees. I exploded a few bursts of blood and broke through the enemies and pulled myself out.

“Murg! Go to the permanent residence!”

We can’t waste time on these junkies. We need to find the assassins of the Witch Hunters and their leader, the Swordsman.
