I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party - I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party chapter 129

129 – Felheim Senova (2)

Felheim Senova (2)

Irina shuddered at the sight of the Black Knight charging towards her, slaughtering the soldiers of the fortress city.

The silver lining is that the fallen soldiers get back up and do everything they can to stop the onslaught.

Irina kept her lips tightly shut and did everything she could, seeing the soldiers who were sacrificing their lives for the warrior party, unaware of Felheim Senova’s betrayal.

It kept people from dying.

I tried to protect them.

In that way, she strengthened her defenses to protect herself while doing her best to do the things she was ‘obligated to do’.

“Wow, the saintess is truly amazing. Even in this situation, there aren’t many dead soldiers.”

“… … .”

Irina shivered as if she was creeped out by the voice coming from behind her.

There is no time to look back.

Because Commander Nine is rushing to kill her right now.

In that situation, she didn’t have enough leisure to check her back.

‘this…….’

After hearing Esmeralda’s words, Irina thought about how the current situation had come to be.

Felheim Senova.

A long-time hero of the fortress city.

Why would someone like her betray humanity and join the Demon King’s army? If the Imperial Army that has just appeared is coming to attack Felheim Senova, which has betrayed her, then when would that be?

She knows. There are things she can know because she is her.

‘The family of Lord Felheim Senova is probably… … .’

That she loved her family so much that she even betrayed her own beliefs and bowed her head to Irina.

A person who cares for his family to that extent would commit treason against the empire.

What if my family isn’t nearby? What if I didn’t bring them?

Just by looking at the situation, Irina could tell that Felheim Senova’s family had already been annihilated by the Imperial Army.

Then wouldn’t Felheim Senova think like this?

‘I have already threatened the family of Lord Felheim Senova,’

She thinks that she, the saint, is the cause of all this.

Even if that weren’t the case, it would be enough of a reason to deal with her first among the warrior party.

The horrifying violence rushing before your eyes and the suffocating, quiet fear creeping up behind you.

Irina took a deep breath.

‘I shouldn’t be criticizing Felheim Senova openly here.’

The soldiers are still risking their lives to stop the Black Knights for her.

In that situation, if she shouts that Felheim Senova is a traitor, it will be confusing, but the problem is that it could backfire.

‘Never respond first.’

Even Felheim Senova was not showing any open hostility towards her right away, but was walking towards her as if surprised at the sight of Legion Commander Nine running towards her from afar.

To other soldiers, it would seem like they had come down directly from the fortress city walls to block the enemy.

‘Focus.’

Felheim Senova is not that strong. Her old body cannot display the strength she had in her prime, so even she can be easily subdued in her current state.

Her strength comes not from personal force, but from her experience and commanding ability.

So you can respond.

‘When the other person is sure to betray you without looking back… … .’

I feel like I’m going to throw up.

Would it have been better if she had not known? Irina was sick and tired of having to take this risk.

Her mentality must have been so shattered because of this series of events.

She is the center of this warrior party. If Esmeralda is the symbol, then there is no one else who can actually run and manage the warrior party but her.

Esmeralda was born in the countryside and doesn’t know how to negotiate with people.

Tina also comes from a back alley, so she doesn’t know how to distinguish between what should and shouldn’t be said.

Milia is just not social.

Yes, only her.

‘I’m working so hard, but you don’t even treat me well.’

From noble mtl dot nete

Negotiation, dealing, situation analysis.

And she solves all the other little problems.

This is so unfair, I can’t live.

thud!

Irina flinched at the sight of the Black Knight approaching her quite closely, and grabbed the Morning Star.

Damn it.

The sound of Felheim Senova’s footsteps slowly approaching from behind gives me goosebumps.

Felheim Senova still does not reveal her betrayal.

It’s about aiming for the most certain moment.

‘If I join forces with Corps Commander Nine, then I will probably… … .’

Can’t stop it.

But if she makes an unexpected move here, she won’t be the only one who’ll get hurt.

“… … I wonder if I can hit it gently.”

Irina made up her mind.

Here, one side is blocked and the other side is hit with less pain.

The wounds can be healed with divine magic. After Felheim Senova revealed her betrayal, it will be much easier to persuade the soldiers.

And if she sacrifices herself for the warrior party and the fortress city, Jim will look at her differently.

Yeah, this is business as usual.

Build an image to gain people’s love and admiration.

They bleed for it.

Kwajik!

Soon, the last barrier that Irina had put up was torn apart by the Black Knight’s sword, and a rapier gently brushed past the side of her neck from behind.

Irina’s thoughts increase.

Felheim Senova hasn’t attacked her yet, but depending on the angle you look at it, it might look like it has.

The sight of him standing still with the blade right next to his neck.

Should she respond? Or should she just wait as long as possible for a more certain moment?

“You seem to be thinking a lot, my lady. It’s okay. Even if that black knight arrives, I, the old man, will devote my body to stopping him somehow.”

“okay.”

The sword falls.

Felheim Senova, who had been standing behind her, stands next to her.

However, the sword is stopped in a place where it can be swung at any time.

In a position where it wouldn’t be strange to be swung in either direction, either towards the opponent or towards oneself.

The acting of a veteran with unparalleled experience.

“You came.”

bang!

The black knight charges.

Irina, who was holding the Morning Star, raises her hand.

Felheim Senova, who had been watching her from the corner of her eye, also bends her arm as if she is about to swing her sword and pulls her rapier towards her.

Tears well up in Irina’s eyes. Even though she was prepared, it was a situation that could not help but be scary.

And always in those situations.

Kwaaang!

“Don’t touch my colleagues.”

This is how a warrior appears.

***

Death Knight.

If Lich was the strongest of the magic-type undead, then Death Knight was truly the strongest of the warrior-type undead.

That’s why when Commander Nine said he was a Death Knight, Esmeralda didn’t have a single doubt.

That was not something to be questioned, it was an obvious prerequisite.

What about Living Armor then?

Could that be an undead powerful enough to rival a Death Knight?

‘Living Armor has nothing that can be called reason.’

To be frank, Living Armor is a step behind Death Knight.

If Death Knight is a dead knight turned into an undead, Living Armor is the soul of a knight who died tragically left behind as remnants on the armor.

In other words, Living Armor is something that cannot advance beyond its current state.

‘Sister Garnet clearly said that Nine was an undead created by Six.’

A being created by others.

It is an undead raised by a powerful lich who can rise to the position of commander of the 6th Army of the Demon King’s Army.

Even the fact that the undead raised in this way ascended to the position of commander of the 9th Legion is like that.

Doesn’t that mean that he has the ability to control the undead just as great as his own strength?

Then again the question arises:

‘Why was it ‘Living Armor’?’

If you put your mind to it, it would be possible to create a Death Knight.

No, even if it was made with Living Armor, it would have been easy to evolve it into a Death Knight.

Quite the opposite.

I’m leaving an undead with that much power in the form of a living armor rather than a death knight.

If so, there is a reason for that.

The reason it had to be Living Armor and not Death Knight.

that…….

‘Living armor is hollow on the inside!’

Legion Commander Six is ​​a powerful wizard. Isn’t that the case right now?

The Demon Soldiers and Undead were strengthened with reinforcement magic, allowing them to instantly turn from a defensive position to an offensive position.

The map of war changed by an individual. That alone shows how much of a monster without answers Legion Commander Six is.

However, Esmeralda did not see the appearance of Legion Commander Six.

You think it’s natural for a wizard to hide away? Of course it is. Since it’s natural, Legion Commander Six would have prepared such a place.

Yes, for example.

“The armor looks cool.”

The inside of a living armor with the power of a legion commander.

Esmeralda stopped Nine from attacking Irina and stared inside the helmet where the aura was rising.

It reveals that the Emerald Tablet is hidden within a puppet named Legion Commander Nine.
