Episode 191. leading to death (1)

“Isaac!!”

Ethelred was astonished and came running.

The knights of Georg’s army who were watching the duel also belatedly came to their senses and rushed over. Isaac picked up Lyanna and showed her that she was safe. But Ethelred opened her mouth to say something to Isaac with a pale expression.

“Please be quiet. your majesty.”

Isaac warned in a low voice.

“Duels are sacred. Unless you directly intervene in the fight, the cheering or booing of the ‘crowd’ during the duel is considered a variable that Elil uses indirectly. “It was the one who intervened first, and the one who got distracted was Lyanna.”

Isaac shot quickly and silenced Ethelred. Before Ethelred could think of a proper defense, the knights of Georg’s army came running.

One of Georg’s knights looked at Isaac with a complicated expression and then opened his mouth.

“Congratulations on your victory. Holy Grail Knight.”

Isaac recognized that the knight was the knight in charge of Elion Fortress, next to Lyanna. And that he declared his acceptance of the victory.

“The name?”

“Labad Georg, I am the centurion of Elion Fortress.”

Isaac knew that he was probably Lyanna’s younger brother based on his appearance and age. He knew that she was someone he could trust and entrusted to her, so he entrusted her to Rihanna. They too had experience caring for her numerous wounded, and she knew that Lyanna’s condition was not critical.

“Thank you for your mercy.”

“Elil just happened to be whimsical to me.”

Isaac was naturally humble. When even the knight Georg obediently accepted the outcome of the duel, Ethelred was left with nothing more to say. Isaac whispered as if to comfort Ethelred.

“Even if you whispered something sweet, Lyanna wouldn’t have even heard it. But since you managed to embarrass her, you could have ended up with this much injury. “She is, in effect, her Majesty, who saved Lyanna’s life.”

Ethelred’s expression became complicated again.

Even so, this duel will remain in his heart for a long time. But as the angel said, the world is not that soft. Even more so if it is a complete being like Lyanna.

Ethelred realized that even if Lyanna woke up, she would say the same thing as Isaac, Ethelred eventually gave up arguing.

There was nothing more foolish than challenging the outcome of a duel that had already been decided.

“I’m sorry for intruding, Grail Knight.”

“no. But thankfully, it seems like it went as planned.”

“plan?”

Isaac said while looking at the back of Lyanna being carried on his back.

“Bloodshed and violence create love. “I received Ethelred Peha’s confession in a state of exhaustion and weakness, so it will remain in my memory for a long time.”

Of course, Isaac’s initial plan was to create a mood of reconciliation by creating an incident that would turn the atmosphere around by encouraging conflict and strife. Although he came back due to the intervention of the Immortal Church, he was able to create a dramatic incident with Ethel Red’s blank attack.

It’s all thanks to Ethelred.

Ethelred’s face brightened at Isaac’s words.

“I have never been in favor of such a plan… … .”

“Shh. It doesn’t matter how sincere it was. In any case, you won’t be able to get a better result than this right now. “Let us hurry and go to the sacred place.”

Isaac said, looking back at Elion Fortress. It was hoped that the Aldeon army would be able to hold Bilon long enough, but if Bilon gave up everything, he would not be able to hold them for very long.

Ethelred knew that the real destination was just around the corner and ordered the other knights.

“From here on out, only me and the Holy Grail Knight will visit. “Let the rest guard this place.”

“yes.”

***

The knights who remained at Elion Fortress treated Lyanna with devastated expressions. Isaac had already done all the basic first aid, so all they could do was pray for Lyanna’s recovery.

Of course, that prayer was a healing miracle that really worked.

They also had complicated thoughts about whether they should send Ethelred and Isaac, who had been blocking them until yesterday, like this. However, it was the result of Lyanna’s duel with Isaac, the Holy Grail Knight, and no one else. Who wouldn’t give in?

Just before the match, Ethelred said something that really bothered me, but this was a matter for the parties concerned to decide on their own.

Rabad instructed his soldiers.

“Move the general to his room. Prepare water to wash the wound… … .”

At that time, the sound of horses’ hooves echoed from the front door. At the same time, a thick, bloody smell rushed in.

Doo doo doo… … With a heavy sound, knights covered in blood came in along with their dying horses. When Labard saw the tattered, bloody flagpole, he realized that they were Georg’s cavalry. However, they looked as if they had crawled up from the depths of hell rather than coming from a glorious battle.

At that time, a knight took off his dented helmet and threw it away.

“Uncle Bilon? “Are you back?”

Bilon’s bloodshot eyes stared at Rabad.

Labard noticed that almost the entire cavalry, including Billon, was in a strange state. I don’t know what kind of mess they came through, but they were all soaked in blood and flesh, some of their limbs were broken off, and even knights were seen with many spears, swords, and arrows stuck in their bodies. To the point where it feels strange to be alive.

“Is Lyanna dead?”

Bilon’s voice, like scraping metal, returned. Rabad barely came to his senses and quickly shook his head.

“No, no. I had a duel with the Holy Grail Knight. Since General Lyanna was defeated, I surrendered and opened the way to the holy land of Elion.”

Bilon was silent at Rabad’s words and then jumped off his horse. And then he walked towards Lyanna with long strides. For some reason, Labard felt that he had to stop Villan. Other knights also hurried over as if they had similar thoughts.

“Uncle, I’m sorry, but General Lyanna needs medical treatment… … .”

However, Bilon came forward, grabbed Rabad’s face, and threw him away. Immediately the sound of swords being drawn rang out everywhere. At the same time, the knights of Georg’s cavalry also drew their swords.

“stop! “Stop!”

Even though Rabad staggered to his feet, he quickly resolved the issue to prevent internal strife from occurring. But as if Vilon didn’t even care about her if there was a fight going on, she walked closer to Lyanna, got down on one knee, and looked into her face.

“Lyanna.”

Lyanna’s wounds were deep. She was not in a state where she could easily open her eyes. But the moment he heard his voice, Lyanna’s eyelids fluttered open.

There was a moment of joy in her eyes.

“Uncle… … “You came back alive.”

“Lyanna, make a contract with me.”

Lyanna’s eyes wavered at Billon’s carefully worded words. Her gaze went beyond Villon to the bloody knights behind him.

At a glance, she realized that few of them were still alive and well.

And I despaired.

How many Elil knights has this man corrupted?

“Uncle, what are you…” … .”

“To regain my honor even now, Lyanna! Are you going to remain the guardian of the Holy Land, who was humiliated by the king who killed your father, who was defeated in a duel with an infidel, and whose holy land was invaded?”

Bilon shouted at Lyanna as if she was sternly scolding her.

Lyanna kept her mouth shut. What Billon said was true. She did not perform well in any of the roles assigned to her. But I wasn’t ashamed of that fact.

He did his best, but the opponent was strong. Rather, it was he who failed to maintain his dignity.

“My father committed suicide. “Uncle.”

Lyanna spoke to Billon as if she felt sorry for him.

“My father did not have the courage to refuse an honorable command, so he chose to abandon his honor. And even after that, he didn’t have the courage to ask for forgiveness, so he committed suicide. “What my father lost in the first place was not honor but courage.”

Bilon’s eyes fluttered.

“How dare you…” … !”

“And it seems to me that you no longer have the courage to admit that Georg’s family has no honor.”

Lyanna struck Bilon in the face with her fist.

Sigh. Bilon’s body fell backwards with the sound of his nose breaking. Lyanna grimaced and clutched her stomach as she tried to pull herself up. The wound where she had been stabbed by Isaac was reopening.

It was in no condition to move. But she had something she had to do.

Something I should have done a long time ago.

“There was something I really wanted to do for an old bastard like you.”

Lyanna once again punched Bilon in the face as he tried to get up again.

Pop, pop! The knights watched in fascination as the seriously wounded man with his stomach pierced was beating up a sturdy knight, and even the adult of the clan, even though he was the head of the family. Even more so because she knew how much Lyanna valued tradition and treated her elders with the utmost respect.

“Hook, huh, huh.”

Lyanna looked down at Bilon, who had collapsed in cold sweat. It wasn’t that she was exhausted, it was more that her wounds were so severe that she couldn’t swing her fist anymore. Only then did Rabad rush over and stop her. She was worried about Lyanna, not Vilon.

“General. I will order that Bilon Georg be detained separately. First of all, recuperation… … .”

“okay… … .”

Lyanna answered weakly and stood up with support. At that moment, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. She looked at the dagger stuck in her own chest and her villain holding the dagger in her hand.

Labad screamed.

“It’s an assassination!”

Lyanna twisted the corners of her mouth as she listened to the knights’ angry shouts.

“Uncle. It seems like you have learned some very bad things from Yeomyeong-gun… … .”

“sorry. “Lyanna.”

Bilon twisted the dagger and opened her wound even wider. Rabad screamed at her and drew her sword, trying to slash at her Villon. However, before he knew it, a cavalryman came running and kicked him in the chest, knocking him down. The cavalrymen began to cut down the remaining soldiers with spear knives.

There were no knights who could take on the cavalrymen who had already crossed over from death.

“I thought you would understand.”

Bilon whispered as he picked up Lyanna, who was collapsing.

“But I don’t have time to persuade you now. “Now I need your sword and the Sword Master.”

***

Lyanna’s body completely collapsed and fell to the floor.

It was a vain death for the sword master and leader of Georg’s rebel army. Although Bilon felt sorry, he realized that he had already crossed an irreversible line. He had worked so hard to avoid this situation.

Now that things have come to this, the seed of the Aldeon royal family must be destroyed at all costs. Otherwise, all the sins he committed will become meaningless.

“Master Bilon, the suppression of the remaining soldiers has been completed.”

“hmm. “Be careful not to cause unnecessary casualties.”

“yes.”

Bilon was now virtually an apostate, but he still believed that he was a believer in Elil. It may be just a deception, but even if he becomes undead, he will still believe that. To him, faith was a philosophy about how to live on earth, not heaven.

For his plans, it would be advantageous to have more corpses, but he had no intention of seeing needless blood from those who had stood shoulder to shoulder with him until yesterday.

Now all that remains is Ethelred.

Bilon stretched out his hand toward Lyanna’s sword, the holy sword Lumiad, which was lying next to him.

As soon as he picked up the Lumiad, a terrible cold came over Vilon’s body. Just as Kaldbuch was a sword given to the king, Lumiad was a sword given to the guardian of the Holy Land.

Billon didn’t deserve it.

However, he had the strength to withstand the cold emanating from Lumiard.

Drumming. The black gloves worn by Vilon began to emit a strange light and suppress Lumiad’s coldness. It was one of the sacred relics obtained during the Yeomyeonggun expedition. Bilon tried to grab it, confident that her gloves could resist the cold radiating from the Lumiad.

At that moment, everything suddenly began to freeze, centered around Lumiad. As the huge ice instantly engulfed his hands and arms, Bilon panicked and hit them down. However, the ice was not broken or even scratched.

‘ice? No, it’s a crystal!’

While everyone who was watching this was shocked, the crystal completely engulfed Lyanna’s body in an instant. Villon was dismayed to learn that Lumiad had not attacked him, but had used her power to protect Lyanna.

And Lyanna opened her eyes.

The moment they met those eyes, all the knights in the castle felt a crushing force. Bilon, who was closest to facing the force, stumbled and fell to his knees, unable to even catch his breath.

Lyanna’s eyes glowed a mysterious deep green.

Vilon instinctively realized that the person in front of him was not Lyanna but an angel.

One of the angels came to Lyanna’s body.

“You’ve already come this far.”
