Chapter 125 – 125. The Hound and the Mad Dog (1)
==================
Clap clap clap.
Whenever the knights in heavy armor moved, a metallic sound resonated near the seam of the armor.
A lion with a blue mane.
Through the patterns engraved near the breastplates of the knights, the kingdom of Valois learned that the knights advancing with majestic steps were the Roxfield family.
“Report the battle situation.”
A middle-aged man took off his helmet and summoned his lieutenants.
He was a very sharp-looking man.
He was agile, yet full of weight, and had the power to overwhelm the crowd with his charisma overflowing with dignity.
Troyd Locksfield. He is the head of the Roxfield family and the father of Arlen Roxfield, 2nd seat of the Seven Swords of the Kingdom. He was also a field commander who was sent to suppress the rebellion.
“Tarves was captured by the rebels, with the mayor murdered and the legation and town hall taken. A small number of soldiers are stopping the rebels, but they say it’s not enough.”
“We charge and recapture the city. When we approach, open the city gates and tell them to step back left and right.”
“Yes!”
After ordering his adjutant,
Troyd, along with his loyal knights, prepared a special attack to recapture the city occupied by the militia.
The riders raised their flags high.
A military flag with a lion with a blue mane fluttered on it, proudly announcing to the militia that the Roxfield family had arrived.
And then,
After arranging all lines, Troyd ordered a charge without retreat.
“They murdered officials appointed by the royal family and rebelled against the kingdom. Now, they are no longer loyal subjects of the kingdom of Valois. As we can no longer condone disturbing the laws of the kingdom, we, the Roxfield family, will deliver justice to those rebels on behalf of the king’s order!!”
With the roar of the blue lion, the swift and ferocious beasts began to charge.
The horses neighed wildly.
Armed with cold metal, hot hearts, patriotism and loyalty, knights entered Tarv through the gates.
He drew a sharp sword. And as he crossed the city, he mercilessly swung his sword at the citizens who stood in his way. Armed with crude weapons and farm implements, the militia were ruthlessly trampled by the well-trained Knights of the Roxfields.
“Ah!”
“Lo, it’s Rocksfield!”
“Those who will be punished… ! The kingdom of Valois will perish!”
Poverty and hunger,
Oppression and irrationality,
Expropriation and economic depression.
For a better world,
The militia, who took up arms for a world without poverty and hunger, had to fall under the blades of the knights.
“The one who opposes the royal family. There is only death.”
Ruthless slaughter and violence broke out as the Knights of Locksfield recaptured Tarves City Hall and overpowered the militia.
But Troyd didn’t stop.
Rather, he ordered his adjutants to suppress the militia even more harshly.
Not only did the militia burn the entire building in which the militia was engaged in a defensive battle, but they pursued and destroyed the militia who fled with their backs to the end. The appearance of mercilessly punishing enemies to fulfill the king’s order was like a hunting dog.
“Princess Themass and Prince Gubelas took over the city, and Prince Berban went after the remnants who had fled.”
Themass. Gubelas. Berban.
The three brothers, called the three hounds that protect the Roxfield family, were the sons of Trade, the head of the Roxfield family. And they were also the brothers of Allen Roxfield.
“My lord!”
A messenger wearing a breastplate engraved with the Roxfield family pattern arrived.
Is there any news that needs to be conveyed urgently?
After getting off the horse, the messenger approached at a brisk pace, announcing an urgent message in an urgent voice.
“It’s a mutiny! It is said that the rebels occupied Lourdes. The royal family immediately ordered a subjugation to the head of the household.”
“Lourdes….”
At the messenger’s news, not only Troyd, but even the adjutants who were listening were quite surprised.
Lourdes is in a very close area.
If we mobilize our troops right now and advance, we will be able to cover the area within half a day.
That’s not much of a surprise. The problem was that Lourdes was a city located near the border with Liberia and the Elves. Leading a large army and attacking Lourdes, there was a high possibility that the Liberia Elves would react naturally.
“If there was a princess at a time like this….”
One of the adjutants muttered.
At that, Troyd shook his head while salivating.
“If Allen had stayed by his side, he would have recaptured Tarbes and attacked Lourdes right away. Allen was one of the geniuses among the knights of the Roxfield family. He’s and he’s a natural fighter too. Even if the size of the rebels reached hundreds of thousands, Allen would have been able to suppress them.”
Troyd praised her own only daughter, highly appreciating her abilities and qualities.
Of course, her three sons also trust her,
Because her only daughter Allen’s power and dragon power were beyond her imagination, Troyd raised the mad dog of Loxfield with blind faith.
“But now Allen has the Liberia elves. Even if you say sorry, Allen won’t come back.”
“It is clear that the evil elves are detaining the princess!”
“Do you really think that the elf can hold Allen by force?”
“… Uh, that’s not it.”
Allen Roxfield is a ferocious and savage beast that will never be tamed.
Mad dog.
Those who witnessed her Allen’s brutality and violence said, “From a family of hounds, her mad dog was born.”
Troyd did not deny that. Because she was the truth without any lies. Her own daughter, but a monster that was never controlled. The only person who tamed the monster was Yushin Gilead, her daughter’s swordsmanship teacher.
“Allen joined forces with Yushin in the elven country of Liberia to subdue the demon lord of the heat wave. Although Allen cannot defend her actions for betraying her country and family… She is proud of her father.”
Demon King Slayer of the Holy Empire,
The news that Gilead, the God of Restoration, had subdued the demon lord of the heat waves, was also conveyed in detail to the Kingdom of Valois.
He also heard that his daughter, Allen Roxfield, helped Gilead the Yushin and made a decisive contribution to the subjugation of the demon king. Troyd was overjoyed to hear the news about her daughter, who was missing from Urhel’s negotiations and whose life or death was unknown.
“Allen is the strongest female knight of the Roxfield family. Wherever she is, whoever she is with… I believe she will be okay. As long as she possesses the power left to her by her ancestors, no one will be able to defeat her Allen.”
Troyd ended his story by expressing strong confidence in his daughter.
* * *
To humans,
My compatriots suffered hardships from dirty people.
Will never disappear,
Even at the moment of her death, she had one of her most terrifying experiences that she will never forget.
Resentment and hatred towards humans. And anger.
The fierce fire created by negative emotions was constantly burning in his heart. Because she was a liana who had witnessed her compatriots’ miserable ruin, her resentment and hatred were immeasurable.
“What are you doing, stupid?”
A black-haired man approached the silver-haired warrior chief who was holding the hilt with his hand trembling with anger.
Yushin Gilead,
The hero who subdued Sabnak and saved the Elf country of Liberia has appeared.
Seeing Yushin suddenly appear, Liana couldn’t hide her bewilderment with a dazed look on her face for a moment. Why did the Restoration suddenly appear in the Aquitaine Mountains? She was so bewildered that she disbelieved what was in front of her.
“Wasn’t there an academy class today? Alone was very disappointed. Even so, the graduation exam is right around the corner, and the instructor in charge is running two jobs. Her responsibilities as an educator are a mess.”
“Yushin? Why are you here….”
“I just feel like I should come.”
The place where Liana was was the village of Urhel, to be precise, the village of Urhel had existed.
It is the place where the final battle between Ardena and Allen took place, and is now mainly used as a gathering place for elven rangers. Several temporary buildings have been erected on the ruins where the village is supposed to have been.
“Oh right! Graduation exam!”
“Did you know that now?”
“Miss Alone will find many! I was going to teach you the secret technique today!”
“It’s okay because I’m teaching. It would be much more beneficial for me to teach you than your pathetic secret.”
“I am the instructor in charge!”
At Yushin’s sarcastic tone, Liana screamed loudly in a fit of heat.
She clenched her fists and made a look of resentment.
Liana, who was gnashing her teeth as she glared at her with her raised eyes, felt that her heart, which had been roaring with her hatred and anger, had subsided like a calm lake. Negative emotions that paralyzed her sanity melted away like a snowdrift when she met her spring breeze.
“Oops!”
Liana bit her lip.
He flushed his white cheeks red.
The change in emotions that had been dramatically converted was confusing.
Liana, who was confused for a moment, defined Yushin Gilead as a ‘human you can trust’. She is human like the wicked slave hunters, but he can be trusted. Because he is the benefactor who saved us.
‘She doesn’t have to hate all humans’, she muttered, and she reflected on her own stupidity of trying to hate all humans. Did.
“If you came this far, you would know everything. The rangers who stood guard in the Aquitaine Mountains were kidnapped by slave hunters and barely returned alive.”
“… A slave hunter I never thought that the rangers would target the Aquitaine Mountains, the territory of the elves. What the hell are you guys doing? They’re definitely not normal guys.”
“For now, we’re interrogating the guy who seems to be the boss.”
Lyana glanced at a temporary building and pointed out where the slave hunter was being held.
Currently under interrogation.
Although, of course, an interrogation close to torture.
She was torturing her compatriots so that she could at least repay the pain and suffering she suffered.
“I didn’t have to come.”
“I know. Why did I overreact?”
She murmured as Yushin glanced at Ardena talking to her rangers.
She shouldn’t have come at all.
There was no reason to intervene, and there seemed to be no great help even if they came.
Yushin came to the Aquitaine Mountains directly with Ardena because of intuition. A piercing intuition made me move my steps. Since Yushin was an instinctive style that followed his intuition, he came to the Aquitaine Mountains by following that intuition.
“I’ll hear from Ardena later.”
“Why?”
“You don’t have to know. Just know that a lot happened between me and Ardena.”
Yushin shrugged his shoulders as if he was afraid of future troubles.
Yushin opened his mouth again.
“Is that the kingdom of Valois over there?”
East of the elven country of Liberia,
Because the border was divided by the Aquitaine Mountains, it was the territory of the Valois Kingdom beyond the mountains.
Yushin muttered words without meaning. However, Liana, who heard this, began to show great caution, perhaps feeling a bit shocked.
“Why?”
“You poor bastard! You’re thinking of using Ardena’s heart to escape to the kingdom of Valois!”
“Not really. If I made up my mind, I could run away after kneading your breasts like cow’s milk like rice cakes.”
“Shut up! Sexual harasser!”
Seeing Yushin insulting sexual harassment as usual, Riana reacted with disapproval, saying that there was a sexual harasser in front of her.
