129 – Defense of Johannesburg – 5

I sat calmly in my chair. Rather, it was the drivers around them who were busy. The knights of the Rochepol family gathered in front of me to stop Emilia.

And at the forefront, Glacia began to block Emilia.

“You are no match for me!”

Emilia was charging forward with tremendous force, cutting down her soldiers and knights. But at some point, Emilia’s charge stopped. That was because of the appearance of Glacia.

Glacia stepped forward to block Emilia and blocked Emilia’s blow. Emilia and Glacia met each other’s eyes. And we instinctively realized each other’s skills.

‘As expected, it’s Emilia, the blow is heavy.’

‘This woman is formidable!’

Emilia swung the sword several times with her right hand.

“It’s pretty good. His skills are comparable to those of Lord Dian. “Why are people like you not known?”

“There is nothing good about having your name known.”

Emilia grinned and their swords began to intertwine. Emilia began to push Glacia with all her might. She slashed from top to bottom, slashed left to right, and even launched a stab towards her legs.

However, Glacia blocked all the attacks with difficulty. At this point, it was Glacia who was rather surprised.

‘It’s not as difficult as you think. At this level, you can block for not just 10 seconds, but even 1 minute!’

After all, did you overestimate your opponent too much? I began to gain confidence in Glacia’s sword. With an opponent of this caliber, she could have held out long enough.

But the next moment, Emilia’s eyes began to change. And while she was using her standard orthodox swordsmanship, Emilia suddenly began using her left-handed swordsmanship, putting her right foot forward and pulling her left foot back.

‘Left-handed… ?’

Only then did Glacia realize what had happened. When she fought Dian, Emilia was clearly using her left-handed swordsmanship. But what about now? Didn’t she use right-handed swordsmanship?

‘You watched it on purpose?’

No, there was no such sign. Emilia was clearly a powerhouse. She knew this well because Glacia had reached the peak of her swordsmanship.

‘Then what on earth?’

And the next moment, Emilia began pushing Glacia in earnest. Emilia’s left-handed sword skills were completely different from before. With incredible momentum, she pushed Glacia, and it seemed like Glacia wouldn’t be able to last even 10 seconds.

At that moment, Glacia was overcome with indescribable fear. She had been on the verge of death quite a few times before, but this time she had a gut feeling that she was really going to die. At that moment, Charles shouted.

“Mr. Glacia, get out!”

“But!”

“Throw yourself back!”

Throw yourself backwards? If she did that, she would only be chased by Emilia and killed.

‘But… Even if I fight like this, will I still die?’

Thinking so, Glacia decided to trust Charles Jean Rochepol, who had been with her until now. And the next moment…

“Healing!”

At one point, a priest standing next to Charles fired her holy magic at Emilia.

“Why are you throwing recovery magic at the enemy!”

Glacia was so embarrassed that she protested. Oh, it’s ruined. The next moment I will die.

That’s what Glacia thought, but surprisingly, Emilia’s additional hit did not come.

‘What’s going on?’

Glacia, who had fallen to her floor, looked at Emilia. Emilia, who had been hit by her priest’s recovery magic, was in a strange state. Suddenly she started screaming and holding her head in agony.

At that moment, her soldiers waiting around her tied the distressed Emilia with rope. The knights under her command tried to save Emilia, but she had already been divided by her regular soldiers.

“Why on earth…?” ?”

Why is Emilia suffering after receiving her recovery magic? What’s going on with her?

And then Charles extended his hand towards the fallen Glacia.

“You had a hard time. Thanks to this, the priest was able to buy time to cast the spell.”

“… What’s going on? Why recovery magic?”

“You know what? Emilia von Kronor is her original right-hand man. “She can’t even write with her left hand.”

Glacia was shocked by the unexpected fact. So what exactly is it that has made her so good at using left-handed swordsmanship so far?

Emilia, who was an enemy general, was captured anyway. Once Emilia was captured, it was not difficult for her to drive out the demoralized enemy army from the castle.

Soon the siege ended. By capturing Emilia.

“The number one contributor to this battle is you, Mr. Glacia. “No one but you could have lasted 10 seconds against Emilia.”

“I only lasted 10 seconds. “Even if people praise me for something like that, I’m not happy at all.”

“10,000 Ducats?”

“I’m glad about that.”

Charles burst out laughing at those words, and before long, the non-gong peddling began.

—–

As originally promised, the number one contributor to the rice cake trade was Glacia Ehrenberg.

Charles gave Glacia 10,000 ducats as a reward. 10,000 Ducats is a lot of money. I don’t know what exactly Glacia intends to spend this large sum of money on, but 10,000 ducats probably isn’t enough money to do something.

And then we transported Emilia von Cronor and took her to the capital of the Kingdom of Binevia. And Emilia, her entire body tied up, stood in front of Leonia.

“Sir Emilia von Cronor. I’m sorry you met this way. However, it is not strange that anything happens at any time in difficult times, and I believe that even though we were enemies to each other, we will understand.”

Emilia lowered her head and made no reply. However, she was muttering something, and no one in her audience could tell what she meant.

“But Sir Emilia, according to noble etiquette, it would be normal for you to be released after receiving a ransom, but this time, I cannot release you.”

It was a shocking statement, but Emilia did not respond and just muttered to herself. Rather, it was the subjects who were surprised.

“Your Majesty, why are you not liberating Emilia?”

“Because Archduke Emilia von Cronor is suspected of devil worship.”

People begin to chatter at that moment.

“Devil… worship?”

Only then did Emilia open her mouth for the first time. He was shocked to hear her say that she was a devil.

“It’s been 200 years since the last demon disappeared from the continent. But the demons are not dead, just asleep. And some demons have been attached to families with excellent bloodlines for a long time, hoping for a chance to make a comeback. That is the Kronor family.”

“… “

“As evidence, you, who were originally right-handed, changed to left-handed only when using swordsmanship. Also, if you become left-handed, you become much stronger than you were before. This is typical of demonic possession.”

“It’s a lie… !”

“It’s not a lie. Have you ever heard someone else’s voice in your head other than your own? Didn’t that voice tell you information about someone else that you couldn’t possibly know? Didn’t anything work out if you followed that information?”

Emilia looked back at her own past. She was right. She always had the Goddess of War whispering to her to spread her religion across the continent, and as long as she listened to the Goddess of War, anything would work out for her.

Moreover, if she entrusted her body to the Goddess of War, she would easily win any battle. Emilia was confident that even with her natural skills she would be the strongest in the world, but against Dian and Glacia, she was not confident that she would win so easily. All this was thanks to her Goddess of War. But…

“It’s a lie! The Goddess is not the devil! She said that the Goddess is a merciful god who came down to save the human world!”

“If that were really so, there would be no reason for her to suffer so much from the magic she received from Lydia, who gave her the power. “Isn’t it common sense that demons cannot withstand holy magic?”

“But… “

“There is no need for further public discussion. You will be transported to the Holy Kingdom of Lydia, where an exorcism will be performed on you. If what you serve is truly a god, you will be okay with the exorcism, and if it is a demon, it will be exorcised. Well then, good luck.”

Emilia was dragged away struggling, and the other nobles looked at her with pity.

“Duke of Rochepol.”

I stepped forward at the sudden call of Princess Leonia.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Although she had the power of a devil, Emilia von Kronor was strong. “She was the strongest swordsman in the world even without the devil to begin with, so there’s no telling how much stronger she would have become after receiving the devil’s help.”

“Yes.”

Emilia was strong. So much so that she easily sorted out Dian and Glacia.

“Although our military has lost a valuable talent, I believe that his successor, Hu An-gyeong, will do well.”

At those words, Juan de Balboa quietly lowered his head.

If you think about it, it was like that. At first, I was angry at Dian’s reckless attack, but when I think about it, Dian lasted for dozens of minutes even against Emilia, who was possessed by a demon. She was truly an outstanding swordsman. Losing Dian was a very big loss for our military.

“I will soon reward the Duke of Rochepol with a great reward. “Everyone, please leave.”

“Yes.”

Anyway, it’s a big award. I’m looking forward to it. What on earth are you trying to reward?

And before long, I was taken aback because the big prize Leonia had talked about was much bigger than I expected.
