I Regressed to My Ruined Family

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 73

＃When he returned, the family was ruined (74)

Ethan took the knights’ sword and went out. Despite the combined attack of dozens of knights, his expression remained calm.

Past life.

Compared to fighting hundreds of dragons before he closed his eyes for the last time, this was an act that could not even be called a battle.

‘It’s just suppression.’

This was especially true in a situation where there was no one capable of being called a high-ranking knight of 6 stars or higher.

[Red Flame Style Chapter 3]

[Explosive Sword]

Every time the sword was swung, a spectacular explosion occurred.

The knights were flying in all directions as if they were butterflies. There were no deaths because mercy was in our hands, but even considering that, it was definitely a terrifying sight.

gulp.

The soldiers on the castle wall swallowed their saliva.

The skills of the Archduke that I had only heard about!

Because I was witnessing his skills clearly right before my eyes.

‘There are no high-ranking knights.’

The remaining knights were throwing themselves like moths to fire.

An assumption crossed Ethan’s mind. A shitty family that makes you feel very dirty just thinking about it.

‘Could it be that he escaped?’

They shouted at the knights, who were no different from their subordinates, to stop them at the risk of death?

I was wondering if the nobleman really did that… but

seeing as he still hasn’t shown himself, it seemed like he really did that.

There were people like that in my past life too.

Those who ran away from the hands of the dragon people while shouting to their people and soldiers to fight until they die.

Trash who don’t even have the basic qualifications to be on top.

Ethan didn’t forgive those guys. Not only did they cut off all the limbs, but they also threw them to the Yongin tribe as a meal.

By his standards, they were people who didn’t deserve to live.

Irdan.

If he escaped like that, he wouldn’t even be able to leave a nice body behind.

That was when Ethan was fighting alone.

“Grand Duke! “We will help too!”

A familiar voice was heard from behind. Nerian, the leader of the Dragon Slayer Order.

He and other knights were already on the castle wall.

Numerous ropes were seen hanging over the inner wall.

“Everyone charge!”

“Hwaap!”

Knights wearing black armor faced the Red Lion Knights. Before the swords could even be swung a few times, the knights were falling in all directions.

It was truly an overwhelming difference in skill.

Within ten minutes after the Dragon Slayers joined, the Red Lion Knights were completely suppressed.

Soon, the castle gate of the inner city began to slowly descend.

“Wow!”

The residents of the territory shouted and rushed into the castle. Seeing this, the soldiers put down their weapons.

From the beginning, it was a situation where no one dared aim a weapon at the Archduke.

Unlike the knights, the private soldiers were already deeply influenced by the Archduke.

I was just unable to put down my weapons because of the knights who were so fiercely insisting on a desperate fight.

In this way, a near-perfect siege with almost no casualties ended.

“Find the Count.”

He immediately gave an order to the dragon slayer. Capturing the enemy’s leader was the only way to completely occupy Toledo.

however.

Irdan’s whereabouts were not revealed anywhere.

“under.”

Are you really saying that he has already run away? Otherwise, there was no reason not to show up.

Wow!

It was the moment when Ethan chewed the inside of his mouth. Sylvia, who was sitting next to me, whispered quietly.

“Grand Duke. “There are many eyes watching.”

“…okay.”

He quickly regained his composure.

“I will track down the Count. “Your Majesty, please take care of the people of the territory.”

“Sure.”

The number of residents who flocked to Naeseong alone exceeds 30,000.

It was a situation that needed control.

“I will give you command of the dragon slayer.”

“yes.”

Ethan approached the residents of the territory.

[The Count has escaped!]

Everyone’s eyes focused on the Archduke at the mana-filled shout.

[A person who abandoned his territory has no qualifications to rule the area. I declare that as of this moment, the ruler of this land has changed! I, Ethan Ardan, will recreate the duchy of the past! And I promise that I will pursue the Count to the ends of hell!]

“Waaah!”

A hero’s speech!

A huge roar rang out in response.

Something I only dreamed of.

That was the moment when it became reality.

The eyes of Toledo’s residents were shining at each of the Archduke’s actions.

* * *

Sylvia.

She led the dragon slayer and searched the count’s house thoroughly.

Within an hour, the secret passageway was revealed. She entered the passage with the dragon slayer.

Before long, I could smell the fishy scent of blood.

“Lawrence! “Stay behind me!”

Knight Commander Nerian shouted with his face frozen. The knights moved forward cautiously.

Soon I was faced with a terrible scene. From the count’s relatives to those who appear to be knights.

Everyone had their necks bent and their eyes closed.

Nerian and Sylvia looked at the bodies.

“…Looking at the remaining mana, it appears that this person was a 6-star player.”

“What was the cause of death?”

“…It’s like magic.”

It’s also a magic filled with powerful magical power that a 6-star knight can’t even resist.

All the bodies were examined, but the Count was not there.

The gold and silver treasures left in the cart were as if they had not been touched.

‘I was targeting the Count.’

The results of the investigation came out soon after.

Three 6-star knights dead.

The Count’s family members all died and the Count disappeared.

Everything from the traces to the fact that there are at most two suspects.

An organization came into Sylvia’s mind.

‘platform.’

The count and the bishop once had a tangled record.

The missing bishop.

If personnel were dispatched to find traces of him, everything was correct. The visit by such experts meant that the church was taking this incident seriously.

‘…The informants moved that way because of the bishop’s work.’

After becoming aware of the cult’s liaison, he was secretly tracking their movements.

Recently, the church’s informants were moving towards the kingdom’s capital in large numbers.

‘It went down from six to three.’

And that’s while also reducing the surveillance on the archduke.

‘The church suspects the kingdom over the bishop’s death.’

Otherwise, there was no reason to send a large number of informants to the kingdom.

The Count was a man who did not know the Archduke’s true nature. If I had known, I would have tried to run away a long time ago.

Even if the church steals information from the count.

At best, all we can find out is that the assassination team included a bishop.

‘…but it’s still dangerous.’

The Order and the Count made contact.

It is said that even the archduke has no choice but to be considered a suspect.

‘The church must make the kingdom more suspicious on behalf of the Archduke.’

Only then will we be able to ensure the safety of our lord.

Her head began to spin.

Cult and kingdom.

Both were not very friendly organizations to the Archduke.

There would be no better situation than these two biting each other.

It was an instant before a plan came into her mind.

“Please dispose of the bodies neatly. “So that no one can discover it.”

“All right.”

Soon she approached the cart containing gold and silver treasures.

It was a cart full of gorgeous jewelry and artwork. Items that would make a noblewoman’s eyes sparkle when she saw them.

But her interests lay elsewhere.

‘Eight rings.’

It was the item her master, the Archduke, was looking for.

Since he went out in a hurry, he must have brought only the most precious things from his family.

If it were the previous duke’s memento, he would have chosen to keep it rather than leave it behind.

Even if you’re not sure what its purpose is.

Sylvia searched the cart.

Soon I was able to find what I wanted. A lump of black liquid that looks like slime.

‘thank god.’

bishop.

I was really glad they didn’t take this item.

While carefully holding the eight pills.

She moved towards the inner room.

* * *

After cleaning up.

I immediately found Sylvia.

Ethan’s eyes lit up when he saw the document she handed him.

“The earl’s family members all died.”

“yes. “It appears to be the work of a religious denomination.”

“It’s a religious order.”

Ethan nodded.

Because it was easy to infer the reason why they moved.

This may be to investigate the incident in which a bishop became a half-baby. Sylvia, looking at the Archduke, said.

“Currently, the Church is most suspicious of the Kingdom. However, by obtaining information from the Count, suspicions about the Archduke would have begun to grow greater than before.”

“I guess so.”

Unless you’re an idiot, you’ll start putting yourself on the shortlist. Even if it’s not a huge percentage.

“I think we need to divert their attention. That too on the kingdom side. “As the kingdom and the church clash, we will be able to buy time.”

What the Archduke needed most was time.

It is time to take control of the inner realm that has become much larger than before and devote yourself to your own growth.

Conflict between the two organizations would be the most appropriate way to buy time. Immediately, Sylvia looked at Ethan and spoke.

“Could you please move Marquis Bessus and Popolence?”

Conflict between two organizations.

There was no better way than using the two as an opportunity to explode the conflict that had already ignited.

Ethan’s eyes lit up.

Because I immediately guessed what she was trying to say.

Williams.

The royal blacksmith of the previous generation was completely attached to the church.

The guy at the top behaved like that, so it wouldn’t be much different for the guys below him.

What if you move the two, wipe out all the blacksmiths who were collaborating with the dragon tribe below, and then completely cut off support for the church?

It would be instantaneous for the relationship between the two organizations to deteriorate.

Just thinking back to the printing house that was raided last time, it was like that.

A printing press made up of sophisticated mechanical devices. It is an item that cannot be manufactured or repaired unless you are a skilled dwarf.

And one of the places where skilled dwarves worked the most was the royal palace.

“Sure.”

“thank you. And this is what I found there.”

Ethan’s eyes lit up when he saw the items Sylvia gave him.

It was one of the eight pills.

Liquid seeped into Ethan’s body. A body that had grown to the point where one could barely feel its weight even without releasing the two rings.

A heavy feeling was felt in that body once again.

As the number of pills increased to three, the effect of weight increase began to work properly on the body that had grown.

‘Good.’

Now, the energy that Ethan can store in his heart has increased by 1.5 times. Even if you are a bishop, you will not be easily pushed aside if you release the Hwan.

It was as if he had obtained all the pills that could be obtained from the 10 branches of the branch.

‘Kingdom 7.’

It was a place you had to visit to get the fourth pill.

Because the disease had spread to four of the seven families in the kingdom.

They would just have to be found one by one later.

“thanks.”

Sylvia.

She was a truly useful talent.

After the conversation ended like that.

Ethan immediately raised the crystal ball. A situation where the subordinate came up with a good plan.

Now it was up to him to put this plan into action.

Soon the crystal ball lit up.

―Did the occupation of Toledo end well?

Marquis Bloten looked at Ethan with a smile and began to ask.

“yes. “It ended well.”

―Congratulations. Anyway, is there anything you want to say?

“yes. “I’m contacting you because I have a favor to ask you.”

-Something?

“It’s related to the Yongin tribe.”

-Yongin people?

The Marquis’ eyes narrowed.
