Chapter 141 – Capture Operation
It is a wide land.
There is a limit to keeping all roads.
And I found the path they usually use and placed them.
Where there are a lot of people, commoners are placed.
Others cooperate without even knowing what they are looking for.
Among them, Triana quickly mounted her horse.
“Move!”
“Yeah!”
– Hee hee!
The bare body is fast, but from the Larsen estate to the Muller estate.
You cannot travel all that distance alone.
I don’t know if it’s just Triana, but her men below her will get tired of following her around.
It’s time for the Yeongji War to be in progress. Now the sun goes down over the mountains, and the round moon reveals its body at night.
There was a group of horses running across a wide plain, approaching a moving herd. They too were riding horses, and they all had magical powers. Triana immediately focused her magical energy and looked ahead of her.
“Miss Triana!”
“Sasha!”
“Nina sent someone.”
“Mmm.”
At that, Triana nodded and continued running. Those who joined also naturally united as one.
No matter how thoroughly prepared, there were many weak points in the operation itself.
But being afraid of them attacking and not moving is nonsense for nobles.
That’s why I implemented it, and I’m lucky. Or is this the effort of the vassals who have identified the best possible way?
“Larsen Manor, City Rhinoe!”
“Great! Goes!”
The troops, which were divided into three groups, immediately began to unite at one news.
To Rhino.
One of the cities of the Larson estate. There are no special features. In other words, it was close to Aslan, so trade developed in its own way.
Follow the traces found there and start tracking him.
“As expected, the center of these guys seems to be the top.”
“Okay. Every trail has a top.”
“Anyway, it goes too far.”
Triana frowned at her.
He hid himself in the Muller estate secretly and continued to investigate the estate for several days.
She gathers information through people she trusts, but it seems that there are not one or two tops woven in this red blood.
“I can’t help it.”
Sasha smiled bitterly at her.
“Nobles are more lax than they think.”
“Ugh.”
At Sasha’s words, Triana drives her horse and she almost falls off the horse.
She looked at Sasha with a startled face.
“I’m stung, I’m stung. Really?”
“I’m not blaming Triana-sama. The real Leo is not like that. But… Many nobles are like that. It’s good to take it for granted that you look up to them, but it’s been a long time since I didn’t rule like that.”
“Is that enough… ?”
“It’s bad to say this, but so was Müller before.”
Triana groaned at Sasha’s words.
Unfortunately, Triana was not bright about the situation in her estate.
Until the conflict between her father and her uncle broke out, she lived like a flower in a greenhouse and did not know the condition of the manor.
However, if the red blood was accessed through such a route…
It didn’t make sense.
Triana frowned at her. After all, she didn’t rule properly. With that one word, Müller was finished.
“To rule is to rule. In fact, Leo did a lot of urban reform. And at the same time, we continue to conduct audits centering on Zeke.”
“That’s… Okay.”
So that the nobles do not notice.
If they dug into the rotten part of the manor, did they continue to eat the inside?
Triana gritted her teeth.
“But it’s the guys that matter now.”
“Yeah!”
Most of Müller’s top was neatly brushed off, so that’s it. Those who cheat in trade need to be careful from now on.
Triana pulled her map out of her bosom as she rode away on her horse, shaking off her ramblings.
Although Sasha’s destination is not that far away.
“It may be too late for words.”
“Then shall we run?”
“…”
At Sasha’s words, Triana paused for a moment.
She looked at the map and looked at the remaining distance, which could be known, and the state of the party’s stamina and magic power… She decided
“Run another 30 minutes, then get off the horse. After that, I will strengthen my body and run myself.”
“Are you going to conduct?”
Command of the nobility.
Like the command in the Battle of the Territory, a way to strengthen the magic power of one’s troops.
But… It was not an easy skill. What’s more, it’s targeting the unit members who haven’t yet properly matched the sum.
Triana shook her head.
“… Unfortunately, I can’t handle that much power yet.”
“All right.”
30 minutes on her horse.
In fact, considering the speed of a sprinting horse, it is not a short distance.
Sasha immediately passed her orders to the men behind her and focused on her horse running.
* * *
A blue light surges.
-Kwaaang!
Amidst the detonation that erupted in the woods, Nina, fearless, rushed straight ahead.
A dark night sky illuminated only by moonlight.
As Niña’s hands spread wide, blue magic light dyed the air and changed its shape as if responding to her will.
Red petals flutter.
“Leave the defense to me!”
The moment Niña shouts and uses her magic with both hands, dozens and hundreds of petals float in the sky.
A dance of sharp petals that cuts even steel just by touching them, contrary to their flashy appearance.
A shield with absolute attack power that wanders around Niña’s minions and cuts off anything that gets close.
“Turn around!”
Now that her unit is divided into three, Niña has few people in her unit.
But contact has already ended.
She has one thing to do. Procrastinating time.
Nina’s eyes began to turn blue.
“Damn it! A knight!”
“Uh, what should I do?!”
It was the same with Purple who led the bewildered subordinates.
The man in the lead, the man wearing the robe, gritted his teeth and looked at the guys running in the opposite direction. As if we expected our movements, we gnashed our teeth at the enemies moving.
“Follow me!”
The number… Little.
Those who are at the forefront of magical power are knight-level, but the rest are not so great. Then.
“Everyone, prepare for battle!”
“… Kut. All right!”
At the words of the executive officer, Eight, the purples who were wearing dark clothes for hiding immediately began to take off their clothes and take out their weapons.
“There is a high possibility that there will be reinforcements, judging from the fact that they are fighting even though there are few of them! Get it done ASAP!”
“Yeah!”
-Kiyiing!
Purple’s eyes began to turn blue.
-Thud!
“Aaaaagh!”
Anyway, you have to take your time.
In the night sky, the remnants of blue light sway, and explosions and explosions erupt.
Amidst the dusty wind rising, a man wrapped in his magical energy left the chaotic battlefield and looked at Niña, sensing the magical energy around him.
“Found!”
“Kuk!”
At the same time, their eyes met.
“You’re a knight-level mana possessor! Die!”
“Chit!”
Niña swung her hand right away.
“I will retrieve the petals! Do not work too hard!”
“Yeah!”
Call the petals right away.
Eight laughed at her as she watched the red petals start spinning around Niña.
“Exactly. It’s a convenient way to use magic to deal with a lot of people.”
Eight’s pupils looked behind her.
It cuts when it touches the petals. It’s hard to approach, but it’s hard to evade against those who believe in the defense and charge.
Even a knight is sharp enough to have to pay attention to defense.
Members of the lower ranks are, at best, ordinary magical power holders. Properly defending that thing of knight-level magic requires a lot of concentration, and in such a state, you won’t be able to fight properly.
“But! How are you going to deal with me with just petals!”
With Eight’s cry.
Blue flames rose from his body.
-Kwaaang!
“My hate! My root! My flame annihilates everything!”
High-speed movement using mana injection. At the same time, the sword swung in blue flames tore through the flower shield Niña had created.
“Craziness!”
“Look! This is my wrath!”
– Kwajik!
Eight’s sword tore through the flower’s shield.
No, it’s close to being broken.
The storm of magical power that raged on the sword showed how much magic Eight had put into the sword.
The petals that Niña continued to create with the magical power shed piled up to form the shape of a shield, but she began to lose to Eight’s sword in vain.
“Haaaaa!”
– Quaang!
“Kuheugh!”
Niña hastily strengthened her body and opened the distance at the flower shield that was tearing in vain.
It’s not equivalent magic attribute. It’s not just a skill difference… It can be seen that the level of magic attribute is different.
“Semi-aristocratic magic! Why in red blood… !”
“Don’t call me a noble!”
Seeing Niña screaming in astonishment, Eight’s whole body refuted, mana burning like a flame.
Eight raised his sword while looking at Niña with blue eyes.
“I can’t take any more time than this. It’s quite talented for a commoner, but it’s the disgusting blue-blooded dog that will stop us in the end. I will take your life.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t let that happen so easily!”
“Heh.”
-Kiyiing!
Howling magic.
The moment Eight’s sword shakes, the explosively rising magic power gathers at the tip of the sword and immediately strikes it down.
The blade approached right in front of me. I couldn’t stop even to pass the time. Niña did her best to forge her shield.
– Kwajik!
Wee.
The shield blocked the blade.
But at that moment, the flower’s shield is shattered, and the blade comes right in front of you in an instant.
What flashed through my mind at that moment was God’s protection bestowed upon me by the lovely person.
In Sasha’s case, she could not only block the enemy’s attack sufficiently, but also deal considerable damage.
‘No, no!’
However, it was dangerous to use his magic here. That characteristic magical power won’t disappear immediately no matter how much time passes. This place is Baron Larson’s estate, if anything. That’s why I can’t use it carelessly… !
‘Leo… !’
Nina closed her eyes.
-Chaeeng!
“Kuk!”
Strong resistance felt at the fingertips. Sensing that, Eight stepped back from her and looked at the place where he blocked his attack.
Its front.
The blue witch was there.
“… Aristocratic? Kut!”
“Such you are a semi-aristocratic level of magic… I will not be vigilant. Everyone, go!”
Seeing Sasha, who had arrived, backed away, supporting her Niña, Triana looked in front of her.
Triana Müller’s eyes began to turn blue.
