I Regressed to My Ruined Family

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 53

#After returning, the family was ruined (54)

After the Grand Duke visited, two families had already collapsed.

I didn’t know what kind of questioning I would receive from the Viscount if I opened the castle door carelessly.

Even if the Grand Duke visited this place without any particular purpose.

‘If you open the castle gate carelessly, you will be punished unconditionally.’

The garrison commander shouted, turning the mana in his body.

“Wait…wait a minute! “Procedures are needed!”

“What kind of procedure is this?”

The garrison commander looked urgently at one of the knights.

It contains the meaning of passing time by talking through eyes.

While the knights on top of the outer wall were talking in loud voices.

The garrison commander hurriedly placed the mana stone in the contact crystal ball.

Soon the Viscount’s face was revealed through the crystal sphere.

-What’s going on?

“Big…big trouble, Viscount! The Archduke came to visit, leading a group of knights! Right now, I’m blocking the castle gate with the gate closed, but I won’t be able to block it for long…”

That was that moment.

“…Huh?”

“Mi… crazy!”

Voices of astonishment erupted from those around them.

‘what?’

The garrison commander naturally turned his gaze. His eyes widened like those on the castle walls.

A castle wall nearly 7m high.

The Archduke was jumping towards the castle wall.

He flew nearly 4 meters in his first leap, and the moment he stepped into the air, fiery mana glowed through the air, creating a platform.

“…!”

The knights on the castle walls understood, without even saying a word, how delicate mana control was required.

Even the royal knights wouldn’t be able to perform the feat just before.

It was an incredible level of mana control that could only be demonstrated by at least the captain of the royal guard.

The Archduke, who climbed onto the castle wall in just two hops, very naturally made eye contact with the garrison commander.

Ethan looked at the crystal ball he was holding and smiled.

“Viscount Lorcan?”

―…The Archduke? What happened here….

“Have I come to a place I shouldn’t have come to?”

―Gi…Why did you bring the knights with you?

Ethan took out two books from his arms.

One was the Dragon Clan God Book.

The other was a ledger containing the author’s tax flow.

“Not only are they collecting excessive taxes and practicing tyranny, but they are also distributing interesting products in the city. Have you forgotten whose land this is?”

―…!

A bit of a surprise.

Viscount Lorcan spoke quickly.

―That book has nothing to do with me…!

“You’ll find out when you check it. “Wash your neck well and wait.”

-What! What now…!

There was no time to continue speaking.

The moment Ethan released mana.

Because the contact crystal ball could not withstand the pressure and exploded in all directions.

“Do you want to open the door or fight me?”

“….”

The knights on the castle wall swallowed their saliva.

* * *

“Holy shit!”

As the crystal ball suddenly darkened, cold sweat began to flow down Rokhan’s head.

Archduke.

Who would have thought that a day would come when the sick, who didn’t even care about it just three months ago, would become so afraid!

‘It’s a big deal.’

The Viscount chewed his nails.

Report from the garrison commander.

From that, we learned that the Archduke did not visit alone, but that he came with a group of knights.

If you had visited with a good purpose, there was no way you would have brought the knights in the first place.

He hurriedly picked up the crystal ball above his office.

Count Chayman, the leader of the faction.

Contacting him was a top priority. Fortunately, Chaiman got the call quickly.

-What’s going on?

“Big…big trouble! Count!”

-Big deal?

“The Archduke has invaded! “And with the knights accompanying us!”

-…what?

Chayman was astonished.

Why on earth did that person visit his faction?

-…The reason is?

“There are two reasons! One is taxes, and the other is… distribution of the Dragon Clan God Book!”

―…!

Dragon God Book.

Chayman knew very well what this was. It is literally a book praising the dragon race.

‘…!’

Archduke.

I could understand why he visited Viscount Dekun.

The ancestors of the Duke of Ardan were all killed by the dragon people.

Naturally, the archduke’s hatred for the dragon race would be beyond imagination.

Irdan is sleeping.

If they had heard that a book praising the dragon race had been distributed, they would have rushed to nothing.

‘shit!’

It was as if dirty shit had been splashed on his grand plan.

Chayman quickly shook his head.

Are you going to rescue Viscount Lorcan now?

No matter how fast you move, it will take at least four days until reinforcements arrive. Will Viscount be able to withstand that time?

‘It might be possible if we fight hard in the inner city…’

However, there were too many variables.

First of all, I had to ask this.

―So where is the Archduke now? Did you open the outer castle door?

“…I didn’t open it. “He just jumped up by himself.”

-…huh? Are you trying to make a joke with me at a moment like this?

The medium-sized city of Demorian.

The outer wall of this place was close to 7m.

Of course, it’s a height that you can’t climb up by just jumping.

You had to have at least the mana of a 6-star knight in your body to be able to jump this high in one go.

A human whose mana hole is broken achieves the level of a 6-star knight in less than 4 months after awakening?

Even if trained by the continent’s best technicians, it would be impossible.

Lorcan quickly shook his head in response to the count’s question.

“…That’s not it! “I jumped in the air twice!”

-twice?

“yes.”

It was possible for even a low-level knight to rise like that. That is, if you have unimaginable mana control.

‘The talent…’

is at a scary level.

The Archduke would not be a threat to himself right now.

But what if someone with such talent continues to grow?

‘Hmm…’

Chaiman pondered.

Is it right for me to attack the archduke now?

‘Rather than targeting my faction directly…’

It seemed highly likely that they attacked after learning of the circulation of the Dragon Clan God Book.

Even if it were the former, you would be worried about having to make a life-or-death decision with the archduke, but what if the latter is more likely?

His own faction was not the only one distributing Dragon Clan God Books. The book is probably also being circulated in Irdan’s territory.

‘As long as we don’t distribute dragon race books.’

Wouldn’t the blade take care of itself and point towards Irdan once again? Chaiman said, looking at the crystal ball.

-Hold on for four days. I’ll dispatch the knights.

“All right!”

Rokhan seemed relieved now and answered vigorously.

Four days.

It was quite a long time, but it was worth enduring if you could endure it with patience. The Viscounty was comprised of numerous private soldiers and even knights.

And just like that, contact with the crystal ball was cut off.

The Count immediately called the knights. He called the deputy knight commander and gave him command of the knights.

“Go to Viscount Dekun. If Viscount is taken over by the Archduke, just come back. Otherwise, if the situation is tense, then don’t intervene carelessly and contact me separately first.”

“All right.”

“A lot of things could happen along the way. “I’m worried that I won’t be able to make it on time.”

Contrary to his words, the count’s expression was very calm.

The deputy commander nodded as if he understood. Because it wasn’t difficult to understand the true intention.

‘The Viscount gave up halfway.’

Since others were watching, they would send reinforcements, but that would not really be an advance for salvation.

Making a simple accident and slowing down the advance was like a piece of cake for him.

In any case, since his master was the Count, he planned to do whatever he wanted. That’s how the knights departed from the county.

* * *

“Who is our lord? Everyone raise your sword!”

The garrison commander shouted loudly.

No matter what cause the archduke had, they were knights who were loyal to the viscount.

At the words of the garrison commander, the knights took out their swords one by one.

But the soldiers were different.

“….”

Soldiers were putting down their weapons one after another, as if they could not bear to follow the order.

It wasn’t an incomprehensible reaction.

To ordinary commoners, the Duke of Ardan was a name that gave the impression of a guardian deity.

‘…I have no will to fight at all.’

In fact, if it is natural, it is natural.

Because this was a territory belonging to the duchy. The Archduke was the equivalent of the spiritual leader of the duchy. The knights who looked at the soldiers were half resigned.

Rather than commanding soldiers with poor morale, it would be better for the knights to attack separately.

The standoff continued for only a moment. Ethan looked at the knights surrounding him and grinned.

“They are people who cannot understand in words.”

However, there was no anger in that tone.

This is because he fully understood that a knight was originally a being who fought for his master.

Moreover, they did not throw their life to kill themselves. At best, they are just trying to move to suppress it.

‘Well, if we subdue this side too, that’s enough.’

All you have to do is return what you received. The mana that flowed from within the body circulated throughout the body.

Soon, blazing mana bloomed above his great sword.

The heat was so great that the black greatsword was red-hot.

As if that wasn’t enough, even the greaves and gauntlets were seen spewing out steam as if they were hot. It was a sight that would send shivers down your spine.

“…Suppress the Archduke!”

At the words of the garrison commander, Viscount’s knights rushed towards Ethan.

The swords of the knights who went on the offensive in a passing line were quite sharp.

However, to Ethan, it was a sword strike that only seemed infinitely slow.

Even more so now that all the pills have been liberated. Ethan began to move in earnest.

Dodge and clash your swords.

It was a very simple action.

However, the results of the actions were not simple. Like fish caught in a float, the knights’ swords were naturally drawn towards the great sword.

Cheer up!

Cheer up!

Unable to overcome the blazing heat, the entire middle part of the sword body melted and began to roll on the ground.

‘Me… crazy!’

What is the temperature of the sword so that it completely melts as soon as it touches it?

It was almost terrifying.

If that sword touched the body…

it was obvious that the body would melt without leaving a single piece of flesh behind.

After the sword melted, the punch flew out quite naturally.

Fortunately, the heat in the gauntlet could be blocked with mana. The disaster of the body melting did not occur.

however.

It was not possible to completely defend the physical power of a punch with mana.

Bah!

“Wow!”

Bah!

“Aaaah!”

Each time his sword was thrown, the knights fell one by one. It seemed like such a natural thing.

Even the highest-level knight, the garrison commander of the outer castle, watched the scene, momentarily mesmerized by the flowing battle.

‘Could it be… an area?’

The garrison commander was shocked.

A person with extreme mana control could completely change the nature of the surrounding space.

In the public, it was expressed as ‘territory’. It was as if the Archduke had established his own domain.

Otherwise, even if a knight in his 20s rushed at him, he couldn’t avoid getting at least one scratch.

“…Shit!”

The garrison commander rushed in with his sword drawn. He was a seasoned 5-star knight and was one of the most recognized and talented in his own writing.

However, he was not at all certain whether he would be able to subdue the current archduke.

I hope this sword hits the mark.

He stretched out his sword.

When the distance was shortened to five steps, the garrison commander had a hunch.

‘…It’s territory!’

I felt a feeling of extreme heterogeneity that cannot be expressed in words.

I felt like my body wasn’t moving as it should.

My once anxious thoughts turned into conviction.

A person with a broken mana hole can build a territory in less than 4 months!

monster.

It was truly a monster with horrendous martial skills!

‘Nonsense…’

Quite naturally, the sword of the garrison commander collided with the great sword of the archduke.

The great sword, which had a small amount of mithril added to the steel, completely melted due to the heat.

Bah!

His mind was completely blurred by the punch that came immediately.

I was able to lose consciousness only after the world became completely dark.

Ethan quietly looked around. The knights who had attacked him all fell unconscious on the floor, their noses bleeding.

It’s a battle that’s so easy that it’s boring.

Trudging.

Trudging.

He walked towards the pulley that opened the gate.

Even though there were numerous soldiers on the walls, there was no one blocking his steps. Rather, he was just opening the way with his head bowed as if he was in mourning.

They were already completely moved by the overwhelming force shown just moments ago.

Sigh.

The outer gate was opened.

The knights who had been staring endlessly at the high castle walls began to come over the gates.

The only thing left to do now was to catch the rat hiding in my inner room.
