Chapter 614
Rumors of Baron Raunet’s sudden death spread quickly to the allied forces of the Kingdom, who came to the rear of Levien to support them.
Rumors were spreading suspiciously quickly and accurately, but few people were interested in the bizarre propagation speed.
The reason was that the majority accepted the rumors at face value and the minority felt proud that their information network was such a solid result. .
And the very few nobles above them had no choice but to doubt their eyes and ears at the newly reported problems on a half-day basis.
“Has the Isthel royal family truly gone mad?”
The aristocrats, the main pillars of the Allied Command, were dumbfounded by the unchanging reality despite having been verified several times, and were unable to even speak. The only thing that opened his mouth was that the first victim (?), the representative of the kingdom of Banais, opened his mouth as if lamenting in resentment.
A summary execution in front of commoners without going through any formalities for torturing a prisoner of the enemy country during the war? From their point of view, it was more unrealistic and absurd than the story that demons came to rule the world.
But it actually happened. Even he doesn’t stop there, he’s going through all the units that the flying dragon knights gave only verbal warnings and withdrew until now.
As a result, the command center, which until now had been all about thinking about how to make a profit while avoiding the eyes of Itsiel and the Empire, was filled with heavy grief comparable to that of generals about to lose.
Reports coming from the lower units were indeed consistent. If they are caught, they will die, and even if they are not caught, if they have testimony and suspicion, they will be beaten to death with a high probability. Now, even if only a flying dragon appears from afar, it has reached a point where most of the troops start a match as if they were greeted by the Demon King’s army.
“Look at this shameless statement. I just wrote it down word by word, but in the end, this incident is just a matter of negotiating with the demon’s hero, doesn’t it mean that it has nothing to do with the royal family!”
The representative of the Kingdom of Banais, who can be said to be the actual party, even dyed his face red and waved a statement sent from the royal family of Ethiel. Normally, he would have laughed and laughed at the breakdown of the balance of power, but this time, the representatives of other countries have no choice but to take it seriously.
It was because the story of a nobleman of the Kingdom of Banais being stabbed unexpectedly was a story that could eventually be applied equally to anyone in the Kingdom Alliance.
The baron was just an ordinary, very, very common nobleman who had come a long way to make money through war. It’s not particularly vicious and cruel, it’s not that I’m better than others, and I’m not inferior, it’s just mediocre itself.
but he died Just because they did something natural, which is not too big of a deal in their common sense.
“Isn’t that the person that the Empire and Itthiel collaborated with and appointed them as wandering knights in the first place! They say they don’t know me just because I became a pawn of the demons’ religion?
Rather, because of her status as a wandering knight, Eldmia has no responsibilities or duties, but also no rights and powers, and that is why both the Empire and Itthiel could shamelessly remain ignorant, but whoever dares to point out that part right now does not exist.
It was because I felt sorry for the representative of the Kingdom of Banais, who seemed to be having difficulty breathing any moment, but the main reason was that it was a relationship where there was no need to come forward and enlighten the other person’s ignorance.
It’s true that we have to hold hands. However, that was only limited to common enemies. It is a relationship in which the ignorance and mistakes of the other party that occurred in other areas eventually turn around and return to their own benefit.
As if they were greatly relieved that they were not the starting point of this incident.
“We all regret the statement, but it is also true that there is no other way. Even the Empire not only maintained the same attitude it took at the beginning, but did not even get angry.”
As soon as they heard that the head of a foreign noble who participated in the war in the name of helping was blown away, the first place they contacted was not Itsiel, but the Eshunua Empire.
It was not simply because the empire was leading this war, so it wasn’t to whine about solving the problem, but because the empire was involved in all sorts of eccentricities that the hero of the Demon God had been doing so far, so he thought he had a proper excuse.
It is the current hero, Eldmia, who saved Esmue, who is praised as a white star within the empire, but is regarded as a malevolent star among neighboring countries, as he is evaluated as an extension of the empire’s lifeline. Since then, it was an empire that had praised his footprints in all forms, so the Kingdom Alliance thought of asking the empire to take responsibility for a mad dog without a leash, considering the case of the brave Siegfried.
There must have been some sort of collusion between the Empire and Eldmia. Otherwise, there is no way that a mere commoner from Itisel could run rampant, committing unimaginable atrocities and eccentricities even before he was designated as a hero.
That’s why, it’s only the Empire that holds the reins. That was the conclusion that the representatives of the Kingdom Alliance came to after pondering among the documents that kept piling up.
In their own words, it was the result of making a proud political guess, but it was a meaningless and useless desk talk. The Ithiel royal family still says ‘we don’t know’ in the form of a statement. He showed sincerity to say the words, but the empire ended the answer with a clear letter from the owner engraved with the imperial seal on the white envelope.
[I don’t know what your kingdom law is like, but in the imperial law, sinners are sinners. Somehow, the law of the demon tribe may be different, so it is recommended to investigate separately.]
The meaning of the words contained in a single letter sent privately from the white star of the empire, without any political rhetoric, was too simple. .
You guys made the mistake, why are you yelling at us?
Even with our law, you guys are wrong, so if you slander them, they’ll go to the power class of the demons.
It was only yesterday that all the delegates in the group looked around dozens of times and denied the reality, believing that the letter might be fake or that it had some other meaning.
Of course, the letter contained only its face value, and since it specified the dead baron as a ‘sinner’, it was concluded that it must have also contained the meaning that it would not stand by if a problem like this occurred again.
Surprisingly, this crazy guy who thought he was confident because he had a back stomach was really a ‘just’ crazy guy.
“How can the representatives of the kingdom gather and watch such atrocities? Respond like an army, or at least have an honor duel…” “…
Who can fight an honor duel with a hero?”
Even the representative of the Kingdom of Banais, who had been constantly bombarded with damage after Baron Raunet, couldn’t stand the frustration and poured out random words.
In fact, he knows. That there have already been three duels of honor.
They even knew that all of them had been beaten like dogs instead of being decapitated with a single sword, and that they had applied for a duel in the name of the gods by putting the best knights among their retainers as great warriors, and that all of them were killed in a single blow. there was.
“It’s a funny story, but I think it’s true that the letter from the empire that seems to criticize us penetrates the core. We have to talk about Ega in Eldmia with the heads of the demons, not with Itthiel or the empire.”
The words thrown by the representative of Pazuson Kingdom were the right theory. Since it was the only theory, everyone had no choice but to let out a deep sigh.
Of course, the leader of the demons we are talking about now is not the demon lord’s army, but the anti-demon lord’s army.
They are a thoroughly religious group centered on demonic religions and saints, and it is an established fact that after defeating the demon king, they will quickly take control of the demonic spirit as a new power class. Tell them to protest this situation?
We caught some innocent people among your demons and persecuted, harassed, and intimidated them, but then you were stabbed by your warriors, so what answer would come back if we told you to take responsibility? Fortunately, if the horse comes back, it will be a normal reaction even if the weapon is flying on the spot.
It has been a long time since the war between the demons and the human race turned into a war to free the innocent demons from the demon king’s army. If such a type of conflict really broke out, it would be a foregone conclusion that the Empire and Itthiel would side with the Demonic Church and reject the kingdom union.
In the end, they had only one option left.
After cutting off the tail, when a disaster that is no different from this natural disaster has passed, silently embracing the loss and giving up even the dream of making a fortune.
It is impossible to treat a hero as a traitor or to designate and kill a hero as a public enemy from the beginning. The footprints left behind by that madman who was born and raised in Ethyl is, of course, the hero itself, and it has long since gone far beyond the realm of instigation and fabrication. If he had been a demon like a warrior of a demon god, there would have been at least some possibility, but unfortunately he is a human.
Even if it’s publicized, it’s not the hero or one of them that’s wrong, but since the hero is running rampant, they are unconditionally at fault.
“I can’t do it…”
In the end, the representative of Volta Bay threw everything and scratched the back of his head with dignity and spat out a word that seemed to represent the feelings of everyone gathered here.
