Chapter 558: Follow-up

612 AH.

In the eastern part of the Human Empire, the [Wind Plague] erupted.

Nearly 10,000 people died, most of them sword slaves, imperial elites, and nobles.

Only two counts and a very lucky few survived the incident, and the vicious man disappeared.

The follow-up empire sent the Nine Gods to send the first cyan thunder light, and it was impossible to break into the maelstrom.

At this point, the original Sword Slave Island was listed as a forbidden place.

At the same time, one more thing spread.

……

Jura Delton.

As an imperial nobleman, he is a mediocre man with no interest.

In an empire where the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest survive, kindness and sincerity are not considered merit.

All in all, Jola is a guy who doesn't fit in with the Empire, and he also has this self-knowledge, so he never gets involved in those troubled changes.

Completely isolated from the huge stakes, only need to continue the bloodline to the next generation even if it is successful, with such an idea, resulting in no equal good relationship until the age of fifty.

That's why we ran into exceptions.

"If it makes you feel good to keep staring at the concubine's body, then it's better to wash your eyes first."

Delton Collar, Earl's Mansion.

Priscilla closed the ancient magic book and said.

"No...... Sorry, I just looked dumbfounded. The Earl said hesitantly.

"It's normal for people to revel in works of art, precisely because there is a real beauty in it that doesn't need to be justified, let alone a concubine." Priscilla gracefully shifted her upturned foot.

The Count was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Priscilla, I am a timid man, but ......"

"Madame, sir, the time is up." The Vicious Man interrupted.

……

"Jura Delton, we're going to arrest you for conviction of disorder."

At the same time, a large number of soldiers in golden armor surrounded the mansion.

The leader is the fifth seat of the Nine Divine Generals.

This group of soldiers is armed with swords, guns or swords and spears, and they can't see any tacit understanding, basically they are fighting separately, because they are strong enough, so there is no need to converge, this golden knight is the emperor's guard.

The news of the former princess's survival has spread, and several sword slaves who have survived the [Wind Calamity] time have leaked their appearance characteristics, and in order to give a warning, it is also a punishment for public appearance, and it is necessary for a guy with enough weight to stand up and take it.

The gray-haired old earl walked out of the mansion.

"Earl Delton, I'm glad you've found your way back, and since you've already appeared, your sincerity is pretty much the same." God will say.

"Well, I'm also an earl, and it's not a good idea to hide behind and shiver, although I may have to shiver in a different place now." Jola took off the decorative sword hanging at the door, he didn't know any martial arts, and the sword was only for the sake of proper decency, and there were never rumors that he was a master of swordsmanship.

"You should understand the meaning of holding a sword on this occasion."

The Divine General's tone suddenly cooled.

"That'...... That's okay too. The old Earl raised his sword tremblingly, "For the sake of my old friend and my wife, allow me to duel against you, in the name of the Earl of Delton." ”

After a long time, the god sighed.

In an empire where "the people must be strong", responding to an open duel is one of the most important things.

"Then as you wish, let me see your determination."

……

"That loud voice, it's the Lion Rider coming."

In the forest behind the mansion, Priscilla pinched the corners of her skirt and ran boldly on the ground, with a faint smile on her lips.

The Vicious Man completely disappeared and followed to the left and right.

"The lord is really impressive, this loyalty and courage is not lost to the elite guard before Madame."

"Although the concubine wants to say that it is a matter of course to die for the concubine, this time it is better to forgive it for the time being, and should respond to the courage of the husband, and the concubine will inherit the surname Delton in the future."

The dirt stained the soles of her feet, and Priscilla didn't care.

"Anyway, what the hell is your situation?"

"The old man can't fight against the emperor's guards and the god generals, or maybe few people can do it."

"The concubine is asking about your intentions."

"I am impressed by His Highness's bearing."

"It's ridiculous enough, even if you are reluctant, you still force yourself to say things against your will, as a harlequin, the concubine admits that you are qualified."

"Please go to the left, Yarakira is here."

Priscilla was silent for a moment, she didn't really want to mention the betrayer.

Climbing over the forest, you can see the towering mountains in front of you.

Where to go is a question worth pondering.

Anyway, the empire can't stay, and going to the sword slave island in public violates the emperor's dignity, of course, mainly because it was discovered by the sword slaves at that time.

"Then go to the weakest kingdom, steal this kingdom as nourishment for concubines, and restore the reputation of the Delton family."

"The old man thought that His Highness would go to some dangerous places."

"Stupid, self-knowledge is the foundation of self-confidence."

Hearing this, the vicious man nodded and said:

"I will be behind you for at least five years, please cherish this power."

Priscilla glanced back at the forest, her former personal guard was coming, but she didn't plan to meet with the other party, the emperor sent Yarakira, who had just escaped death, to show that there was no attempt to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, after all, both sides knew that Yarakira would not harm the life of her master.

But betrayal is unforgivable.

"Then it's decided."

……

The rebellion of the Sword Slaves caused by Jura Delton was a complete failure with the death of the Earl.

The Earl, who was behind the scenes, was defeated by the Lion Knight, one of the Nine Divine Generals, and was confirmed to have died on the spot.

With no direct blood relative, the Delton family, which had been passed down from generation to generation, was severed.

And only two months earlier, the young lady with whom the Count had been betrothed had committed suicide.

This is the testimony of the Nine Gods General Reserve, Yarakira.

On the other hand, the hunt for the fugitive sword slave ushered in a new intensity.

When the Sword Slave Empress Hornette was blocked by the second general when she was heading to the Holy Kingdom, she was forced to change her direction and head towards the Dragon Kingdom.

A few weeks later, an active merchant appeared in the kingdom of Jestijah in the south of the empire, known as the Sun Princess because of her fiery beauty, which caused some resentment in the royal family because of the overlap with the Golden Princess.

At the same time, around the isolated island of the original sword slave, the turbulent flow of wind attribute magic power gathered, causing a strange magic crystal to be produced in the surrounding area, and local friction broke out between the Holy Kingdom and the Empire.

In view of the previous bad behavior of the "Holy Kingdom" to prevent the second general from capturing the sword slave woman Hornette, Arakira filled the vacant quota of the nine god generals and led the knights to the expedition.

The king of the Holy Kingdom was killed in battle, and the already small territory was further reduced, and the Holy Princess's daughter was forced to succeed to the throne and ask for support from the Pro-Dragon Kingdom.

The modern-day sword saint Rheinharut Van Astreaa is tasked with fighting the cyan thunder that lurks in the enemy ranks.

The latter was defeated, and the empire declared that it recognized the legitimacy of the succession of the Holy Princess.
