The Blood Knight’s Villains

My Villains Episode 475

66. The Silver Prince (30)

The dank smell gradually colored the air around me. Just as the faint scent of water spreads in the wind just before a shower starts pouring.

The change was subtle and gradual, imperceptible. The heat of the embers left by the war, the green breath that filled the forest, and the scent of poetry that flowed along the river soon faded, but few noticed it.

By the time the Emperor’s wizards and some fluent in magical powers sensed the anomaly, the entire garrison was already surrounded by demonic energy.

However, it wasn’t that he couldn’t handle magic or that he wasn’t used to it, so he didn’t even feel a sense of incongruity.

“…something is strange.”

The boy who muttered that was Lujan, who had become the Elector Countess of Angst and Obdorf a few hours ago.

Befitting his title, this young Imperial Marquess occupied a place of honor on the podium.

Unlike the nobles around them who could not take their eyes off the surreal confrontation between the dragon slayer and the red knight unfolding under the podium, their vermilion-tinged brown eyes glanced in the direction where the emperor was sitting.

For a while for the jewel-like eyes to catch the sunlight and glisten red. Ruyan, who slightly moistened his lips, leaned sideways pretending to lean on the armrest.

” majesty.”

At that little whisper, Prince Ulkar made eye contact with Ruyan briefly, then turned his head back down the podium.

“I am listening.”

“It feels strange.”

Instead of asking what that meant, the prince took a quick look around. After paying a little attention, indeed, as the boy had warned, a suspicious corner caught my eye.

The first change that caught my eye was the soldiers surrounding the podium. Among the heavy foot soldiers wearing plate armor and carrying two-handed weapons, there are mixed brains with magic scrolls. You can also see imperial soldiers and officers on horseback wandering around.

Most of the ‘sacred centenary’, which had been scattered all over the dais until the start of the Dalian, gathered behind the throne. There was something tense about the emperor’s bodyguards, whose golden plate armor was adorned with cloth inscribed with mysterious characters.

Finally the emperor.

He had a young and beautiful concubine and a sturdy pair of protective goggles on either side of him. However, both Viscount Anya Nell on the right and General Fabio on the left seemed strangely stiff.

King Ruilix II, who sat between them, was talking with the royal family’s chief wizard, Broxor. Unlike the emperor, who was stroking his beard under the veil and shaking his shoulders with a somewhat pleasant expression, the chief wizard’s wrinkled face was sweaty.

Prince Ulkar suddenly swallowed dry saliva. He realized that the emperor and Broxor’s voices could not be heard at all.

“You bastard!”

“Uh-hahaha!”

When Camos let out a roar that couldn’t be believed to be human, Phoenix burst into a terrifying blush. Then, when the greatsword and the longsword collided, sand dust rose following the roar of ‘Kwak 7dang’.

“…It’s terrifying. Isn’t it?”

“It would be difficult to subdue even a decent number of regular soldiers with two or three hundred.”

“To see a guy like that sitting on an ice bobalt…

“I’m worried about the trade routes leading to Milanol.”

“Eisbovalt is a city that lives off customs and brokerage, so what are you worried about? If there is a problem, wouldn’t it be better to increase the number of trade ships or pierce the bow with ‘Rinneh’?”

“Are you saying to deal with ‘Seonhyeolbaek’ and ‘Seorigong’? It would be better to roast the red knight…

Even in the midst of this noise, Prince Ulkar’s ears were able to accurately pick up the voices of the imperial nobles. As a prince, his sense of having to live the life of a warlord of wandering knights was just as superhuman.

However, despite his superhuman hearing, he couldn’t hear the words of Ruilix II and Broxor at all. It’s not to the extent that you can’t overhear the exact contents, it’s that you can’t even hear muttering.

‘Sound absorption barrier…

Noticing the unusual atmosphere, Prince Ulkar ran his hair through his silver prosthetic arm.

He didn’t like the coldness of Master Madaz’s metal hands. Therefore, it was obviously a conscious act for the prince to grope his face with his prosthetic arm.

It was also a signal.

Confirming this, Ru Yan secretly took off his gloves. At the same time as the thundering giant’s tattoo was revealed, a swaying air current wrapped around the boy’s body.

Atalanta, who was sitting nearby, untied her legs that had been crossed all along and stretched. The sharp lines and flexible muscles drew the eyes of the nobles who were watching Ulkar’s party.

Drissor, the blind viper’s faithful servant, grabbed the master’s elbow and delivered a signal. The arrogant Sir Liam slightly lowered his hand on the armrest and straightened the sword belt. The other knights also put down their drinking glasses, put their weapons on their thighs, or tightened the straps on their breastplates that had been loosened.

The hidden dagger of the Red Knight and well-known as the ‘Black Woman’, Rannon was already tense. Reading the air currents even before Prince Eun, who was sitting at the table of honor, gave a signal to his subordinates,

she was checking the means of attack she had on her body.

‘Unsword’ with a spell that sharpens the blade ‘Georgeum’ that can still rip plate armor like a linen blanket even though it’s broken in half ‘Blinking Dagger’ with a blinking spell Five throwing daggers whose blades were soaked with deadly poison mixed with purple salt

.

‘That idiot.’

She kept her eyes fixed on the podium, oblivious to what was going on around her. When the dragon slayer pushes the red knight, he hardens like a statue, and when the situation reverses, he sips red wine in succession.

Sighing inwardly, Rannon reached out with a fork and cut a large piece of cake on Heila’s plate.

“Sum.”

It wasn’t until the chiffon cake topped with a gooey rum sauce disappeared in her tiny mouth that Heila’s gaze turned to the side. ‘What are you doing now?’ Looking at the questioning eyes, Rannon answered with a munched mouth.

“Stop drinking.”

“alcohol. Stop drinking.”

I even blinked for a moment. Heila immediately grasped the situation. The high magic power sensed the energy of the other world at once, and the insight that awoke belatedly read the secret tension of the silver prince and his subordinates.

She took another sip of wine and put down her glass. Then, naturally, he turned around and looked at Phoenix’s own soldiers who were seated on the last stone.

Soon, the female prosecutor who met Heila’s eyes approached.

“Do you need something, miss?”

” bag.”

“…a bag? Now?”

“huh. bring it to me.”

What Heila ordered the heavy swordsman of the Crescent Islands to pack was a backpack the size of her torso. It was made of wood and covered with leather dyed red. Although it was a bit large, it did not raise any suspicion because it looked the same as a travel bag commonly used by aristocratic women.

However, it seemed to look a little different in the eyes of the red knight, who was constantly being pushed back by the dragon slayer’s wave of attacks.

“……hmm?”

With his passing gaze, he caught Heila holding her torso-sized backpack with care, and immediately noticed a strange air current flowing over the podium.

Ugh.

Right after that, blood surged in the body of the red knight. At the same time, the anti-magic field installed by the emperor’s court mage distorted with a crackling sound.

In just a couple of breaths after Phoenix raised his mana, the anti-magic field shattered and made a sharp sound as if his eardrums were tearing.

Jjaaeaeeng-!

“Damn it.”

“What is this-”

In terms of volume, it was similar to the roar of the dragon slayer and the red knight, or the roar of two swords colliding. The soldiers hurriedly covered their ears.

Tsu-tsu-tsu_ “Ha.”

Either that or not, the red knight had a fishy smile on his face. In the blink of an eye, he unfolded the ‘iron-blooded armor’ and covered both arms and left shoulder with dark red scales and kicked up the longsword that had fallen at his feet. The black ice, emitting weak cold air and containing condensation, froze it in an instant as the blood flowing through the red knight’s hand stained the blade.

“What kind of mood is this?”

Camos, who was in the middle of a battle against Phoenix, who was muttering like a beast growling, snorted and ran at it.

“this guy!”

A huge greatsword rushed in with the momentum to split the air as well as the dirt floor into two. The red knight jumped up on the podium, glanced at the dragon slayer’s attack, and brandished a dark red ice sword with a cold smile on his face.

Quaang-!

“……hmm!” As the repulsive force, which was on a different level than just before, was transmitted through the great sword, Camos narrowed his forehead slightly. The smile of Phoenix, who was sword to sword with him, grew even thicker.

“The sparring is over, my friend.”

“Shit-”

the dragon-slayer let out a rage and pressed the greatsword down with his weight. no i was going to do that

cover.

The hideous hand wrapped in jagged scales gripped the greatsword.

Caggu-

Camos quickly twisted the knife instead of panicking. However, only shallow scratches remained on the dark red scales, and the hands did not budge.

The violently seething and circulating blood supplied enormous blood energy and made the red knights display almost double their strength.

Even so, it wasn’t enough to overpower the dragon slayer, but it was enough to embarrass him for a moment.

The red knight rotated his body while tightly gripping the greatsword. In an instant, he burrowed into Camos’s arms, and

he was like that!

I hit him on the chin with my elbow.

Even the half-span-long scales that grew sharply on the elbows could not tear the skin of the warrior who inherited the lineage of the mountain giants.

“Guheugh”

But the shock delivered was not enough, so the dragon slayer couldn’t control his huge body and stumbled and finally hit his butt.

“That coward!”

Nadim von Sdamterk, a young field marshal of the Empire, was violently pounded on the table and, at the signal, enraged nobles rose from their seats and denounced the red knight.

At that moment, at the end of three or four steps, Phoenix jumped up and stood on the podium at once. And soon he swung an ice sword.
