Chapter 90: Innocent
Originally, Stan and Lukka were mentally prepared for a desperate battle, but their tragic plan was unfortunate, no, it should be said that they were lucky to die halfway.
The unluckiest of those present was undoubtedly the lord of [Etania], who recalled that a few hours ago, he was overjoyed to believe that there was no way to heaven and man.
In fact, the lord has been in a hurry these days, and the secret of his vain attempt to counter the coup d'état has been accidentally exposed to the most dangerous person, the knight of the legendary blade, a few days ago, and let them escape.
Of course, he immediately ordered a search for several people, but the process of the search was at a bottleneck. [Aitania] is not a small place, with a large population and complex neighborhoods, and it is not easy to find a few people from it.
It was the first time he was distressed by the vastness and prosperity of his realm. Every day they dragged on, there was one more danger of being escaped by them. You must know that the time is not yet ripe, and your plans must not be easily exposed.
In fact, he had already learned about the invasion of the knight of the legendary blade into the territory from somewhere. If you had taken the first step to strike, or if you pretended not to know and deliberately let them go, you would not have ended up in the current predicament. At the thought of this, the lord couldn't help but regret it.
Just when he was distraught, finally, at the end of the night, events seemed to have found a turning point.
It was a surprise visit by three young girls, about seven or eight years old, who claimed to be the daughters of 'Lutga Crusnier', who had come from their own territory in search of their father, who had not returned home for a long time, hoping to get some clues.
Rutga Crusnier...... This name that made him sleep, the lord would never forget, and immediately connected with the young nobleman who traveled with the legendary blade in his memory.
Without saying a word, he ordered the girls to be caught, pondering how to use them as bait to lure the snake out of its hole.
Of course, the lord didn't know where Lutega and the others were hiding, so a scene like Fang Cai had been repeated many times in various parts of the city.
Although the three sisters are still safe and sound, the lord has no intention of showing mercy to his subordinates, and if they do not lead each other in the end, he will not hesitate to carry out the intimidation - cutting off their limbs and holding a brutal 'open-air feast'.
And even if the plan succeeds, he has no intention of letting these three girls go, but will sell them to the harshest prostitution parlors in the city, and let them receive some cruel and perverted guests, believing that these delicate and lovely little girls will be tortured to the point of inhuman form in a few days.
This is revenge on Ruttega, the young man who has no eyes and no beads, who will pay a terrible price for his many more incidents.
It seems to be a flawless plan, but there is a fatal flaw. What if the hostages resist?
In retrospect...... At that time, he didn't think about it carefully, and the doubt of how the young three sisters crossed the dangerous streets all the way from [Celia] to [Aitania] was his biggest failure.
Blinded by the desire to cut down the roots as soon as possible, he proceeded too hastily...... No, there is nothing to do, because no matter who it is, it is impossible to imagine - what earth-shattering waves can such a young girl make?
If the situation in front of him was a nightmare, how much the lord wished to be able to wake up as soon as possible.
I saw that the short-haired girl who was originally taken hostage and cried in her hands was now sweeping away her soldiers like a typhoon.
A sturdy man in armor and holding a halberd was easily swept down like a weed in the girl's thin limbs.
In the eyes of others, there are even some ridiculous scenes, but once you are there, you can only feel indescribable fear.
At this time, the lord suddenly found that the little girl in front of him looked familiar, and on closer inspection, it was very similar to the slave who had been rescued a few days ago, even if they were sisters...... It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a mother and daughter.
In short, their faces are carved out of a mold, and it is impossible to say that they have no connection with each other.
"It's hard, do you say!?"
Suddenly, it dawned on the lord that this was undoubtedly a big conspiracy. Since a few days ago, when that inexplicable woman was sold into a prostitution, everything has been designed.
In the 'Legendary Blade', there is the only female knight who is very good at magic, and even on a par with the 'Sage', and is stunningly beautiful, Mira Maxwell.
For the members of the 'Legendary Blade', the lord has already done a detailed investigation.
Although he had never seen a look, he believed that the woman must be Mira! She had been deliberately captured by the 'Grey Beasts' in order to pretend to be a slave and infiltrate the high-end prostitution hall where only a limited number of important customers would be received.
Otherwise, how could the 'Legendary Blade', which was as strong as a ghost, be captured by some subordinates? In this way, even the minions of the 'Gray Beast Regiment' might have colluded.
And where Lutega and the two knights appeared together for the last time is not an accident at all, it is simply the result of the combination of inside and outside. In this inconsequential time, the Blade of Legends actually sent four knights (including the retired Lutga) to target him.
I thought Rutega was just bluffing...... But now it seems that the secrets of the 'drug' have already been exposed, and not only that, but even the 'killer' thing that he has mastered......
When you think about it this way, all the conditions are connected.
I saw that the girl named Alice, in the enchantment that blocked the 'Holy Elf', also beat the soldiers all over the ground as if nothing happened. The lord is sure that these girls in front of him must be the last assassins from the imperial capital.
- It's a conspiracy! Someone wants to murder him! It must be like this! So who is behind it!? Celtic old fellow?
It can only be said that these are the lord's complete delusions of victimization. A few days ago, the slave girl was not Mira, and Lutga and the two knights were just trying to take a shortcut, and Alice and the three sisters happened to pass by......
"Okay~~! 1,200 kills achieved!I don't think I'm going to jump an ACE title on my head, or something like that, such as a broken bone expert or something?"
While the lord was thinking wildly, the 'typhoon', which looked like a little girl, had already swept his soldiers into a staggered manner.
As she had declared, no one had died, but all of them had their hands and feet or ribs broken. The pain caused by the fracture makes the grief incessant.
Alice has not neglected to practice during the time she has traveled, and although she has not made any progress in strength, she has not made any progress. For example, in front of her, she can already grasp the weight of her shot very skillfully. If it had been the beginning, it would have been full of corpses by now.
"Uncle, don't forget the 12,000 imperial gold coins you said?"
The little girl said heartily, and put on a smile of great accomplishment.
It is said that in her previous life, Alice was full of affection for games that could be used to clean up miscellaneous soldiers, such as robot wars or something, and on weekends, she would brush him all night long.
"You...... You!hmm!ahh
Seeing that Alice single-handedly, in less than ten minutes, swept away the elite corps that she was proud of. The lord was so angry and frightened that he even forgot to be afraid, and made strange noises like babies with his mouth half-open, and he couldn't even remember how to speak.
"Ah, that~~ sister, wait a minute~~" As if she had seen the right time, the girl with long hair curled slightly, a cheerful tone, and a smile on her face came to the lord with lovely steps.
"Uncle~~ Look, your people are all injured~~ Do you want Arieza to treat them~~?"
"You, what did you say?"
Not only the lord, but even the two knights present were stunned by the suggestion of the long-haired girl who called herself Eliza, and offered to treat the injuries of the enemy who had been knocked down with great difficulty on the battlefield, which was simply unreasonable and insane.
"Ahaha~~ Actually, don't look at our young age, we are very short of money~~ It's better to make you cheaper~~ Five gold coins per person~~ [Aurora Healing]~~!"
Before the lord could respond, Eliez began to unleash her magic in her own words, and the brilliant aurora not only overshadowed the neon of [Aitania], but also shrouded the night sky full of stars overhead. At the same time, the thousands of soldiers rolling on the ground all stopped their miserable moans.
This gorgeous magic, like [Divine Magic], instantly drove away the pain of the injured and made them refreshed again.
But before she could rejoice in this, as if she had suddenly thought of something, Eliezer said in a voice as clear as a silver bell that shocked everyone present, including the two knights of the Legendary Blade—
"Ah~~!By the way, uncle~~ Now, if you hurt a person, count the promise of ten gold coins, does it still count~~?"
In fact, this promise was not said to them in the first place, but the lord couldn't even squeeze out the strength to refute it now.
"If you don't speak, I'll just think it's still effective~~?then-[Gravity Hell], twenty times~~!"
As soon as the words fell, a series of sounds like 'cross-clatter-cross-clatter-cross-clatter-' bones being crushed by a heavy object suddenly sounded from the crowd that had fallen to the ground. However, this time, no one screamed, because the severe pain of dislocated joints and broken muscles and bones was enough to make people foam at the mouth and fall into a coma in an instant.
By the way, there were no screams, but there were some offensive sounds like liquid splattering, and a disgusting stench filled the air.
Like Alice, Eliza's magic is getting better and better, and the [Gravitational Hell] she casts does not envelop the entire area, but is directed, and only has an effect on the body of 'each target'.
In other words, at this moment, she did not cast a magic spell, but chose thousands of targets to cast the same magic at the same time and side by side, and controlled the power to the point where it was not lethal according to the physical strength of each person. Her precision in calculating the structure of the spell and controlling the distribution of magic power have reached unimaginable heights.
"Aha, ahahaha~~"
While performing 'tactical' magic as if she was playing at home, and at the same time letting out a pleasant but chilling laugh, Alize was not satisfied, she let out an extremely innocent but ruthless laugh, "Twenty times the G power can't die~~ A few more times it's okay~~"
"Wait, wait, Ariez......! Anyway, it's cruel. At this moment, even Alice couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly intervened to stop her sister's atrocity.
"You, what the hell are you!?" the scene was too tragic beyond imagination, causing the lord to let out a hysterical roar.
"When we first met, I should have introduced myself. The girl, who had not made a move all this time, tied two ponytails, and was just watching coldly, said in a faint tone, "We are, Lord Celeria, the daughter of Lutga Cruznier. That's all. ”
