18 - Chapter Xviii The Royal Rebellion 2
Holding Eryl's hand, I look out of the carriage.
At first glance, the scenery is the same as usual, lined with noble houses, but there is one thing that is different. There is one thing that is different...the smell of blood.
In front of each house, soldiers of the royal army, and now the rebel army, are guarding the houses. Probably the noble houses of the Regent's faction were attacked and many who resisted were killed. Despite the fact that the rebels have taken over the city, the noble residences in the eastern part of the city were quiet.
It took about an hour to reach the main gate. The sun was already setting in the west. As we disembarked from the carriage, we found that the area in front of the main gate was in chaos with people and soldiers, and there was a tremendous amount of cursing and yelling.
In the midst of all this, a part of a wyvern that had been perched on the roof of the royal castle flew toward us. They landed in front of the main gate with a roar. The hustle and bustle of the city becomes a sudden and silent silence.
As if on cue, several people appeared above the main gate, and one of them, a large silver-haired man, shouted
"Hear me! People! I am Shigea Karugi, Marshal of the Kingdom of Juka! We, the Royal Army, have decided to abolish the king and his entourage, who are the main culprits of political corruption, and establish a new kingdom! Let us destroy the corrupt and debased nation and be reborn as a truly powerful nation! To be reborn as a truly powerful nation, all you need is blood! A nation is reborn stronger by the blood that is spilled. First, let us make a step toward becoming a strong nation by bringing to justice those who have been responsible for the corruption of this country!"
The soldiers cheer. As if on cue, many people appeared on the walls on either side of the main gate. It seems that they are being dragged out by the soldiers. There were men, women, and even children. All of them are dressed in luxurious costumes, so they are probably the royal family in the palace. Some of the ladies are screaming like crazy, but they are beaten by the soldiers to make them quiet. Among them, there was a man who kept shouting loudly even though he was being held down by the soldiers.
Someone kill Karugi! Kill them! I am like this! I won't allow it! Who are you! Strike them down! Tosca! Scio! What are you doing? Avenge these men!
Perhaps this is the king. A fat, pig-like body. A face that shows lust without a trace of decency. And he is naked. And beside them, there were four girls who were also naked in every single fiber of their being. They were probably attacked while they were in the bed together and brought directly to the front gate. The girls were lying on the ground with their legs closed and their bodies twisted to hide their nakedness.
Karugi, who was looking at the king with contemptuous eyes, suddenly raised his right hand. Then the soldier unceremoniously threw the royalty down the ramparts. Screams and shrieks mingled. Some of the people hit the ground were dying, some were unconscious, and the unlucky ones were injured, unable to move. Wyverns devour them. Wyverns that had been perched on the roof of the palace also came this way and devoured them. It is truly a hellish scene.
Once again, the people are lined up on the walls. They are probably the nobles of the opposition. Some of them are lying on the ground, unable to move. They, too, are pushed to the ground at the merciless signal of Kargi. And all of them fell prey to the wyverns.
Spewing blood and pieces of flesh everywhere, the wyverns flew back to the roof of the palace. Then the main gate was opened and the Marquis Bertham, Lady Elsa, Master Falco, who had lost both his arms, and the Prince Regent were taken out from inside.
"Warding Master, is Linos here? If you are there, come out here!
"My Lord Linos, my master wants to see you. Your master is here. Please come forward."
Madisen speaks to me with a smirk on his face. Silently, without a glance, I step out. Eril follows behind me.
"Oh, oh, it's Eril! This is fortuitous! Oh, I'll take you. General, I'll take Eril. What's wrong with that? You have a very nice body. Those tits, that ass. I'll lick you all over. Hee-hee-hee-hee."
The slender man next to Carugi gives Eryl a sly smile. Eryl glares at him, "d*mn you, Duke..." It seems that this man is the Duke of Heera, the king's brother.
"So you're Linos. Are you the one who has these wards up? I was going to cut you, but I can't cut you at all. You're good. I like it. From now on you will serve at my side and serve as our shield.
"Yes, sir. But on one condition. You must release my master, the Marquis of Bertham, the Lady Eril, Master Falco, and the Prince Regent. If that is acceptable."
"You've got to get a grip on yourself... !!!!!"
Kargi is getting very angry.
"You're getting ahead of yourself, slave! You are a captive. You must obey my command or die! Obey meekly and I will spare your life. That's all there is to it! I will kill them!"
The three who have been warded are bound and kneeling, but there are no obvious signs of trauma. It is Master Falco who worries. He seems to have stopped bleeding, but he remains motionless, nodding his head in disbelief. He must be alive just in time, since his presence has not disappeared. We must cast a recovery spell as soon as possible. In the meantime, I'll put a ward on the master as well.
There is something you must hear. Tell me how to unlock the treasure room of the House of Bertham.
"Then at least tend to Master Falco's wounds. I will not speak if my master is dead.
"You don't know your place, do you? Hey, Shen, do it!
A man suddenly appears next to Kargi. It was a man I never expected to see.
