The Blood Knight’s Villains

My Villains Chapter 443

65. The Peak of Spring (18)

“…What the heck is this – Ellen?”

Ellen’s smile grew a little thicker when she saw me talking about the unexpected reunion.

“Looking at that stupid face, I think I came to the right place this time.” The guy was wearing a very strange outfit.

It was a robe with black patterns on a white background, tightly cinched at the front, and beneath it, a narrow hem of a chestnut skirt and black boots that reached above the knee could be seen.

A small tiara in the shape of leaves and vines had three flowers in full bloom, each studded with different jewels.

From the heart of a diamond with its thirty-five facets dazzling, to the flawless, flawless jade of a ruby overflowing with waves of crimson. Each of them felt a strange magic power.

Blinded by the splendid appearance, I belatedly understood Ellen’s words and expressed my doubts.

“this time? What are you talking about?”

“I was fooled by your tricks.”

“Trickery?”

Instead of answering, the boy glanced back. And he swung a pole about a hand taller than his height.

“Influnt Hammae. Durio fortio. The long wall of flames that soared along the defense line stretched at the four words whispered by pale pink lips

.

Roaring!

The red flames were colored like a mixture of milk and butter. Both enemies and allies abruptly retreated from the heat that seemed to make their faces ripen.

“I went to High Castle following the rumors, and there was a stinking gangster, not you.”

Ellen stepped on the air and approached. The flames that enveloped him floated over his shoulders like a windblown shawl. Her eyes, as bright as blue stars, were slightly blurred.

“I was so angry that I was going crazy…

My long, thin fingers slowly traced the nooks and crannies of my neck. The shaking eyes were filled with joy.

“Strange. It feels like last winter is melting like snow, so strange.”

“Ellen.”

Her still small, slender, feather-like body was crumbling into her arms.

I was worried that the delicate thing would break or break, so my hands hugging each other were cautious. I couldn’t dare to put strength on my fingertips, so I bit my teeth instead.

“I miss you. Really really-”

Ellen, on the other hand, held my neck very tightly. The fresh scent of lime flowed from his golden hair, and the delicate scent of lilies overflowed from his white skin. In the middle of the battlefield, I almost fell asleep from the sudden calmness that came over me.

“…not the time for this.”

I managed to get him off the hook and continued.

“I have a mountain of questions I want to ask, but the situation is not good right now. Will you help me?” Stealing her moist eyes, Ellen took a deep breath and put on a calm expression.

“Aren’t you going to fight to the end?”

“…what? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“What are you talking about? It wasn’t a fight you could win in the first place.”

“Then you want me to run away like this?”

“uh.”

“Nonsense-”

“Why is that nonsense?”

“Yeah.”

I was speechless for a moment, but I answered quickly.

“The back of this is an occupied territory that I gained through hardships. As long as we hold out until Prince Ulkar comes.”

“You fool, is that your land? Stupid stubbornness to protect someone else’s land’?”

Before he could answer, he continued to shoot in a cold voice.

“And the Three Princes won’t come.”

“…what?”

“I met the Three Princes right before High Castle was occupied. He said he had been in contact with Marquis Friggs and was planning to go see him.”

I was taken aback by the unexpected news and opened my mouth.

In the kingdom of Milanol, traditionally, there are families that have taken on the duty of protecting the frontier.

Elsen in the north, Zahakar in the south and Baluin in the east, Alphard in the east, and Aryaga in the west.

The families of these frontiers acted as spearheads against greenskin armies, sea powers, invaders from distant continents, and pretenders to the throne. In addition, he was reborn as a noble among nobles and a great lord among great lords.

It was only natural that the four families shared the title of dukes.

Meanwhile, Lionel II, the former lord of Milanol, marched westward with a large army and won a great victory.

The newly acquired territories were Unfast, Past and Highlands.

The King of Knights divided these three provinces among his two aides and bestowed titles according to the traditions of the ancient empire.

The two families that became the new guardians of the western frontier in this way are ‘Axodbroke’ and ‘De Lisire’.

Axodbrook is a family headed by the Margrave of Landry, or the Margrave of Garwin, who protects the plateau and the southern half of Unfast.

And Drisir is the family that protects the northern half of Unfast and the Fast region.

The Margrave of Freix, whom Ellen just talked about, is the current head of the Drysir family.

“…so the prince went north?”

“that’s right.”

To me who opened my mouth, he spoke in a determined tone.

“They must have planned to fight the Elector Counts by borrowing the power of the Drysir family. From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t seem to have gone well.”

I heard the news that Unfast and the whole area fell into the hands of the enemy. He said that he was helplessly defeated by an elite army led by a guy who is said to be a cousin or a eldest cousin of the Duke of Avillambus.

At the time I heard the news, I thought it had nothing to do with the plans of the allies.

However, as Ellen said, if Prince Ulkar really went north…

“The three princes will not come.”

Ellen’s words continued.

“Calm down Poi. If you keep holding on, you will only be killed by dogs.”

“…That can’t be right.”

Prince Ulkar is a rising general who has never been defeated since he was 17 years old before he became the biggest warlord in the kingdom. That Ulkar lost?

While I opened my mouth blankly at the unbelievable story, a tremendous amount of magical power wriggled from the Imperial Army.

shoot it!

Waves the size of a house are visible beyond the raging fire wall. The light-green river that flowed between the two camps gushed against gravity and came crashing down on this side.

Chii profit!

“Ouch- damn it!”

“Don’t back down, stay where you are!” Waves rushing across the fields crashed into the fire barrier. The flames, filled with mana, were not so easily extinguished, but after the hot steam spread out in all directions, their momentum and body shrank to the fullest.

Toward the wall of fire that had shrunk like that, the soldiers of the Elector Count and the pagan slave army rushed in, and before that, powerful destructive spells were poured.

“……Uh”

“Is Ellen okay?”

Hiding in my arms and covering her face with the long sleeves of her robe, Ellen’s eyes glowed blue in the hot steam.

They seem to have noticed white pillars of light and purple spheres, and more than half of them are flying towards us.

“Move.”

As soon as he got out of my arms, the ‘flame cloak’ that shook in the air wrapped around El Ren’s body.

“Archuire ensa—ra earn feare.”

A few ‘flame arrows’ rose above the black pole.

Ellen added a couple of short murmurs, and the surrounding flames and streams of fire from the flame cloak converged on the wand. Arrows made of fire multiplied instantly from three to five, from five to ten.

Ignis.

Ten flaming arrows were fired forward at the same time. The spears of power and spheres of destruction that were attacking us were intercepted and exploded in vain.

“The people of Linhow dare.”

A voice filled with magical energy rang through the air.

Ellen threw the black quarterstick to the ground as if pushing it. The long staff wriggled as if it were alive, and in an instant it turned into a black carpet and floated up.

“Ellen what is that-”

“Prepare to retreat.”

“what’?”

“I won’t be able to help you for long, as the intruder will appear soon. I’ll buy you some time.”

“Wait Ellen!”

I hurriedly asked Ellen, who was about to step onto the black carpet.

“When did you talk to Prince Ulkar?”

“…does it matter?”

“Oh, it’s important. When?”

The guy who got on the carpet and was at eye level looked at me and opened his mouth.

“It must have been three weeks. maybe.”

“……Three weeks.”

Leaving behind me who muttered blankly, Ellen, clad in a flame cloak, soared into the night sky like a bird.

The fire wall, which seemed to be extinguished at any moment, started dancing again right after the blonde girl rose into the sky.

“Succendent earn adobit’sche!”

The strange vibrations of the incantation shook the battlefield. Under the mage’s fluttering carpet, pillars of fire measuring 30 meters on each side began to pour down the slope as if toppling forward.

It was a ‘fire wave’.

“Quaaaaagh!”

“It’s hot – save me!”

The soldiers who attacked the defense line of the kingdom army struggled in groups. Even the most elite privates of the Duke of Strom cried out like children as their bodies were engulfed in flames.

As more than one hundred and fifty troops were set on fire by a single spell, the Duke of Avilambers, who was watching the battle from across the parched river, shouted as if in a fit.

“Goseiin Goseiin!”

The duke growled with an angry face at the old man whose robe was adorned with a thin golden chain.

“Hey bitch! What the hell is that year?”

“I don’t know either, Your Highness.”

The wizard, whom the duke trusted the most, added his words while looking at a figure in the distance who was throwing fireballs at him with fluttering blonde hair.

“However, since that magic carpet must belong to the ‘leper struck by lightning’, that wizard must also have come from the Palace of La Palais.”

“La-Palais Palace?”

“yes. Wouldn’t it be the ‘Fire Witch’ of the Red Knight’s companion… As

more than 30 privates were oxidized by the fireball that was pierced again, Duke Avillam Bus screamed with his eyes wide open.

“It doesn’t matter who that bitch is, go and kill her right now! The enemy will be destroyed before the sun rises!”

At the exclamation of the Elector Countess, Captain Buakan and other retainers shook their heads. Gossein bowed his head respectfully and then withdrew with his twelve battle mages.
