Chapter 661 – 661. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
661. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
Gerdin pointed his sword at me. The hand holding the sword was shaking. Gerdin believes too much in the devil.
“It’s over the line.”
He slowly approached Gerdin. Gerdin was holding a sword and I was bare-handed. But I don’t think I’ll lose to Gerdin at all. Gerdin was someone who couldn’t even feel mana.
“Oh, don’t come!”
“If it were me, I would have thrown away my sword right away and lay flat at my feet.”
“I, baron. You can’t kill me.”
Diona said from behind.
When Gerdin is killed, it is Diona who joins the dragon’s line. Even if she abdicated her earldom, she would not have the support of her vassals.
“Don’t kill me. It cannot be easily killed.”
As he raises his fist, a frightened Zerdin swings his knife at me.
“You fool. You swing without even thinking about the length of the sword.”
It was time to lightly lean aside and try to avoid the sword. Suddenly, flames shoot from the sword and rush towards me. Startled, I jumped sideways to avoid the flames.
“A magic sword?”
“If I hold that sword in my hand, I can command fire!”
“A heirloom fit for an aristocratic family,”
It’s a bit unexpected, but it’s not enough to kill or knock me out.
“Huh. Omg! Huh!”
Gerdin’s condition was not good. Just because he’s a magic sword, there’s no way he can use it without any conditions. Looking at Gerdin’s condition, the magic sword seems to consume his stamina.
“Die! Die! I mean die! Without you, I… !”
Gerdin randomly swings his sword. Fireballs fly towards me, but they are so slow and honest that I dodge them easily enough to make me yawn.
“Kyaaaaa fire! The fire catches the wall!”
“I’ll bring you some water, lady!”
Diona and Katia made a fuss. I sighed and waved my arms. A powerful wind quickly suppressed the flames and dissipated them.
“Huh! Ugh!”
After swinging his sword a few times, Gerdin sat down on the floor. He has a pale complexion and a face that looks like he’s about to vomit. Laughter flowed out at his insignificant stamina.
“Are you going to betray a subject like this?”
“I, baron. I have never betrayed you!”
Fuck!
He kicked Gerdin’s upper body. Gerdin couldn’t even scream and rolled on the floor. Diona hurriedly handed over the magic sword that had fallen from his hand, took it into her arms, and glared at Zerdin.
“While talking with Diona, a curse appeared. If I hadn’t dealt with it well, I would have been cursed and become like Earl Heathfield.”
“No…. Cool! No!”
Gerdin knelt on the floor. He grabbed my legs with both hands, just like when we first met.
“That’s not it. Baron! I tried to curse Diona! I didn’t know the Baron was with Diona!”
“Was it an unintentional accident?”
“Yes! It was an accident!”
“How are you going to explain that you made a pact with the devil and tried to kill Diona on your own?”
“That, that….”
Gerdin’s eyes roll.
“Oh, it was late today, so I was thinking of reporting tomorrow! I had no intention of killing Diona right away. Just because she’s cursed doesn’t mean she’ll die right away!”
“You report the contract with the devil tomorrow? What’s that important? And dare to move without permission? More than anything, Diona would have promised to give it to me…. Are you trying to curse me?”
“Wrong! Only once! Have mercy just once! Baron Pruckus!”
“I should have said it earlier. You’ve already crossed the line If you die right away, it’ll be troublesome, so I’ll crush your legs first.”
He kicked Jerdin’s stomach over and put his foot on his lap. I was thinking of stepping on both of his knees and crushing him. Knowing my personality, Gerdin’s face is covered with cold sweat.
“Diona! Don’t you want to own Diona! Take Diona with you right now! I’ll take care of the rest!”
“Crazy bastard. Are you openly selling your family?”
Diona crossed her arms and scorned Zerdin. Her eyes were briefly sold, emphasizing her voluptuous breasts wrapped in her blue dress. Gerdin seemed to see it as an opportunity.
“Baron! I did not betray the Baron! Go ahead and claim Diona… Aaaaagh!”
Kwadeudeuk.
His trampled right knee was shattered. A loud scream rang out. Diona ordered Katia to stop her soldiers and knights from coming. The vassals will not know the situation until tomorrow morning.
“I talked to Diona earlier. I was able to speak better than you. Even the body talk.”
My foot landed on Gerdin’s left knee.
“Hey, you crazy bastard! Mundoo! Come out and kill him! Mundoo-du!”
Demonic power was felt on his right shoulder. He forcibly reached out and ripped off his shirt. The magic circle drawn on his right shoulder activates.
‘The magic circle under Diona’s left armpit…. The devil abandoned Diona and switched to Gerdin.’
Diona fucked by me wouldn’t have liked her. Diona didn’t choose to summon her demons to fight me. Even calling the devil herself requires a price.
I’m nervous. Munddu is a high level demon. When he reaches the upper level, he is a guy who doesn’t even have a sword in his body. To deal with him, he must have a level of skill, if not the best. And I’m still not above the top level.
“Mundoo!!!”
Gerdin shouts the demon’s name desperately. The black light from the magic circle became more intense. However, even after 10 seconds and 30 seconds passed, not a single mouse appeared, let alone Mundoo-du.
“What, what! Mundoo! Mundoo! Why aren’t you showing up! Mundoo-du!!”
The magic circle was activated and stopped.
‘It’s Yuria. Yuria caught the demon as I ordered.’
I grinned.
“Looks like you’ve been abandoned by the devil.”
“Sah, live… Save me… Aaaaagh!”
I harpooned Gerdin’s left knee.
•••
Gerdin fell down the stairs and became a half asshole, suffering a lot. In reality, I broke his legs, and Yuria cursed and restrained Gerdin. Jerdin will suffer for a month and then he will die.
The reason why he took time to kill Gerdin was to convince his retainers. If you kill too radically, even your vassals will be suspicious.
In a month, Diona will become Earl of Heathfield. Because there is no successor to her except her.
“Baron. This… What is it?”
Diona stroked the silver necklace around her own neck. She looks like a decent accessory on the outside. She, of course, also put a necklace of a different design on Katia’s neck.
“It’s a leash. Shouldn’t we be prepared so that you don’t betray me like Gerdin?”
“I, Baron! I’m different from Xerdan! I have no intention of betraying the baron!”
“It will be like that now. But what about later? When the opportunity arises, he will try to betray you. Just like Gerdin did.”
Diona forced her necklace off, her hands shaking. Her necklace clicked but did not rise above her face. She pulled as hard as she could but she wouldn’t even break.
“Just in case, if you pull too hard, your neck will be ripped off before the necklace. It takes an aura blade to cut her necklace. To unlock her enchantment she must be a mage of Archmage. Oh, if you try to take it off too hard, it will explode. Your body and head will be in thousands of pieces.”
Diona and Katia lowered their hands with stiff faces.
“Of course, if I give a signal, it will explode. Don’t you believe? Shall we give it a shot?”
“Believe! These are the words of the baron, but you have to believe them!”
Diona’s gaze goes to Yuria, who stands respectfully next to me. She saw YuRia, who had caught Mundoo at dawn yesterday. I told her about her Yuria skills. It was meant as a warning.
“Diona. Know that everything you are there and breathing is only possible because of my permission.”
I grabbed Diona’s hair. Diona reflexively made a grimace on her face. This much could be allowed. Her off-white color was outstanding, and her frowning face was attractive in its own way.
“Ah, I know. The baron is my master.”
“I know, so don’t talk too long. In a few months, a war will break out between the Baltic Kingdom and the Lapelli Kingdom.”
“Although the situation on the continent is dire these days, there is no law that war will surely break out between the two countries….”
“It happens.”
Looking at her, she said firmly.
“Wars always happen. If there is no war, I will.”
“…….”
Her lips, who would become Earl of Heathfield in a few months, were dry.
The Heathfield Gate is the front line. In order to invade the Baltic Kingdom, you must pass through this Heathfield Gate. That’s because you can easily wage an aggression war.
And the person in charge of the Heathfield Gate will be Diona.
“Diona. In case of war, follow my orders. If I order the Heathfield Gate to be abandoned, throw it away.”
“No, that is nonsense… ! It’s about betraying the kingdom. If that’s the case, the vassals won’t stand still…. The earldom you’ve earned is going to be useless… !”
“I will guarantee your title. The Baltic Kingdom will disappear anyway. Or do you have the confidence to stop me?”
Diona’s gaze turned to Yuria. Aura Master and Arch Mage. It is self-evident that she would not be able to last even three days against Yuria, let alone a week.
Above all, there was a bomb necklace around her neck. She was already my slave.
“… Are you really guaranteeing my title?”
“Do you doubt me? Don’t worry, I’ll change your status and make you a noble. If you don’t like that, die with the Heathfield family.”
“I will trust and follow Baron Pruckus.”
“I’ll come visit you from time to time, so don’t even think about it in vain.”
“Ha…. Until then, what am I supposed to do?”
“Priority…. Tell me where the High Tare mercenaries are. I know they fled to the Baltic Kingdom.”
“High Tare Mercenaries… ? Why are they?”
I didn’t elaborate, just smiled. Diona shuddered at her for a moment, then she said.
“I don’t even know where the High Tare mercenaries are. Shall we contact you?”
“Aren’t you the one supporting the High Tare Mercenary Corps? Don’t they come here when you call?”
“It is true that I applied for the High Tare Mercenary Corps, but I am not the only one. A number of other nobles supported the mercenaries together. The entire mercenary corps will not be swayed by my words.”
“Is there any place where you can guess where the guys who entered the Baltic Kingdom are?”
“There is.”
“Good. Tell me.”
“Yeah, but I’m not sure if it’s really there.”
“Even if you’re not there, I won’t hold you accountable, so tell me.”
“It’s the Viscounty of Paite.”
“Viscount Paite? What are you doing?”
Yuria took out her map and spread it out on the table. The Viscounty of Paite was not far away.
“I’m a noble from a mercenary background. The High Tare Mercenary Corps was created at his insistence. It was Viscount Pythe who supported the High Tare Mercenary Corps the most.”
“He was a mercenary, not a knight. That’s unusual. What achievements have you made?”
“The Viscounty of Paite was originally a place where wyverns were active. Viscount Paite was commissioned by the royal family to lead mercenaries and hunt Wyverns to stabilize the territory. The royal family praised the achievement and gave him the title of Viscount and the Viscount of Paite.”
“You became a noble with just that? Other nobles would have objected.”
“Because not all wyverns have disappeared. The royal family handed over the difficult-to-manage territory to Viscount Paite. Other nobles know that, so they didn’t object.”
“Viscounty of Paite…. I get it. Where else can you guess?”
Diona pointed her finger at several places on the map.
However, my eyes kept on looking only at the Viscounty of Paite. I had a hunch that there would be them in Viscounty Paite.
•••
Meeeee
A strange sound was heard from the sky.
Raise your head and look up at the sky. A winged red lizard is flying in the sky. Compared to a dragon, its size was too small, and it had no horns on its head. However, he was never a monster to be ignored.
Wyvern.
A predator roaming freely in the sky. Gnomes see most living things as prey. Of course, humans are no exception.
Meeeee
A wyvern saw us. It turns and rushes in this direction.
“You don’t know how scary the sky is.”
Lightning fell towards him from a cloudless blue sky.
