Shout me out if you find any typos or anything .
The Faskurn capital divided into 2 different extremities .
One is the common people who feel relief over the sudden disappearance of the mud giant and two, is the wealthy nobles who feel scared because they lost their ace to fight the alliance army that is surrounding them . Without that ace, they lost their way to fight back .
Especially the wealthy nobles that managed to escape the sacrificial ceremony in the royal castle . Those survivors are check-mated . Whichever option they choose would bring them hell .
Even when those upstart nobles get desperate and try to break through the encirclement with all the private soldiers and assets they can carry, the alliance has seen through their movements and layout their formation . There’s no way for those desperate nobles to break through the prepared alliance and before long, the alliance managed to capture all the escaping nobles .
Although the Alliance seems fine in a glance, they actually also experiencing some confusion .
When they thought they would have a bitter fight with the appearance of the giant, a flash of light suddenly falls from the heavens and when they open their eyes, the only thing left behind is just the royal castle that was got destroyed by the giant .
Is what they witnessed before just a hallucination caused by the morning mist? It is not weird for them to think about it like that . Rather, there are even fewer people who accept what had happened as reality .
In the end, no matter what mysterious things that had happened before them, [Faskurn is defenseless now] is the fact that the alliance army accepted as a whole so they start they maneuver to tighten their encirclement towards the capital . They capture all the nobles that tried to escape, break through the town’s gate, and currently, they are carrying out the sweeping strategy inside the capital .
After all, the situation is too mysterious so beside neutralizing any danger elements, they also want to get some information as fast as possible by capturing any high ranked officer from the enemy side that knows the real situation . The strategy progressed swiftly . Eugene also plays a pivotal part in the sweeping strategy by pointing out the location of the wealthy nobles’ houses and spots that they might use as escape points . With that intelligence, the alliance army manages to operate with more efficiency .
The said Eugene is now heading towards Luther’s mansion together with Renya .
Eugene didn’t find him in the group of nobles that were caught from escaping . Knowing him, Eugene asserts that Luther would find any chance to escape . This is his golden chance to enact his revenge and rush forward riding his horse .
Of course, the alliance army shows their disapproval towards his independent action but at that time,
“Then I will go with him as his watcher”
With one word from Renya, Eugene obtained his permit . The alliance army considers that Renya would not get any merits from letting Eugene escape and they also consider Eugene as someone smart enough to not try escaping from Renya’s watch .
They could go faster if they order the horses to run (well, duh) but they only have the horses canter forward . Renya and Eugene head toward Luther’s mansion together .
They passed by the castle town while going there and Renya is thinking that his decision to not visit Faskurn was a correct one .
Only the minority of the building here is normal . Most of them are built with only gaudiness, to stand out even more than others, in mind . The city is filled with an atmosphere of self-assertion . Anyway, it is too suffocating for him .
This city is like the very prove where money lords over all others . The city planning is a total wreck . People build buildings wherever they want . Even in the noble district where the nobles build their luxurious mansions, the plot arrangement is a total mess . The townscape is like saying that if the occupant feels happy with their own houses, they would not give a damn about their surroundings . This city might look like an avant-garde carving art when looked from above .
(Rather I find it baffling for this kind of kingdom to still have a hardliner noble like Eugene . . . . . . )
Renya feels that people like Eugene would feel cramped in his heart . He won’t be able to raise his head high . And reality also concluded in his false accusation so Renya could only feel pity for him .
No matter how much he can keep his patience towards those corrupted kingdom’s policy, there should be a limit to it .
“ . . . . . . Look, Renya-dono! That is our destination . The private army still hangs around so there is no doubt that the guy should be still in his mansion!”
“I see . Eugene-san, that guy should still have a hostage and she should be your . . . . . . ”
“That’s right . It is that guy after all . If I were to appear now, he definitely won’t hesitate in using Threz as a shield”
“Even if there is a hostage, you should never hesitate . No matter what dirty tactics that guy will carry out, I will guarantee the hostage’s safety . You just have to wield all of your emotion into your sword and do what you must do”
“ . . . . . . It is curious indeed . As someone who has directly witnessed the achievement that you got, I would definitely believe your word . But even if I don’t know about it, I feel that I would still believe you”
“Haha, you are over-praising me”
“Then let’s just left it like that . We should commence our assault! Please watch my back!”
“Leave it to me”
The two then jumped down from their horses while making sure the horse would run into the crowd of private soldier that is preparing their flight .
“Uwaa!? What happened!?”
“A horse! A horse suddenly . . . . . . Gaha!?”
“E-enemy attack! Enemy . . . . . . Guh . . . . . . ”
The private army that has been quite restless already quickly turned chaotic as even there are a few numbers of them that already dead even before pulling their weapon out .
Eugene is a power type fighter who could cut down a few soldiers standing in a row with one slash while Renya leaves five of the soldiers dead as he runs past them .
Seeing their comrade getting instantly killed by the two men that suddenly appeared make the rest of the soldier stunned with shock . They can’t process the situation quickly to respond and that is a lethal mistake in a fight .
“Get out of my way! If you keep blocking me ---- I will force my way”
There are still some soldier that desperately tried to rouse themselves to fight back but Eugene’s intimidation makes them hesitate again .
Their mind stop, their leg stop, and their body turned into heavy lead in the middle of battle .
Those above are all directly linked with death .
Renya and Eugene choose their own prey while rushing forward .
Eugene who swings his two-handed steel sword boldly with all his might that it not only cut down multiple enemies but also blows them away from the force .
And Renya who sword skill can’t be seen through by ordinary people as it moves lightning fast that only sword flash could be seen, he just moves freely as he wishes and his enemies fall one after another in his trail .
They quickly neutralize all the private soldiers hanging around the outer part of the mansion . Of course, maybe not all of them got killed but they all suffer a mortal wound that it is questionable whether they would survive or not until after the two men finish capturing Luther .
After all the two men do not have any business with those small fishes .
Their aim is only one man .
Renya silently put his hand on the doorknob and ask Eugene with his eyes .
Eugene responses with a silent nod . He focuses more power into his sword-wielding hand .
The door is forcefully opened and the two barge into the mansion .
They quickly check their surroundings . Eugene quickly runs his sight through the empty first floor and when he scans around the second floor, his gaze stopped at one point .
“ . . . . . . Threz!!”
“ . . . . . . !? Eugene-sama!?”
Renya followed Eugene’s gaze toward the second floor and there he sees a delicate-looking man with quite the distorted expression coming from fatigue and impatience forcefully drags a blonde woman with him .
