I Became the Father of a Degenerate Emperor

Episode 49. I am behind you.(4)

Enemy soldiers rushing in like a tsunami from the front and rear.

Now I really wanted to die.

But in an instant, the whole world was brightly lit.

The dazzling lights that swallowed the night.

It was intensely spraying from something unknown floating in the sky.

It was incomparably smaller than the sun, but its brightness was comparable to daylight.

Perhaps that is a flashing poem used by the Bright duchy.

Looking back, I saw two silver-haired knights riding their horses much faster than their men.

It must have been Duke Bright and his son Ensus.

“Protect Your Majesty! Block it with your body!”

As if mana was loaded into his voice, he easily swallowed up even the rough sound of horseshoes vibrating in his son-in-law.

Bright’s cavalry reached us much faster than the enemy cavalry.

Then they evaded us left and right, forming a long line like a huge tsunami, only moving forward without hesitation.

If you don’t risk your life, you’ll never be able to run like that.

Bright’s troopers were running furiously, like wild waves in a storm, following the duke.

Then, just before colliding with an enemy running in front.

As if they would absolutely not allow anyone to approach, the blue blade of a sword fired fiercely from the side of Bright.

The relentless flying sword strikes the enemies like a whip and causes a fierce explosion.

Boom! Puff!

The soldiers’ bodies were torn apart, and the war horses were also thrown away, scattering blood fountains.

Enemy soldiers continue to be cut off and scattered along with their horses without a moment’s rest.

As if proving that this place was a real father-in-law, curses, screams, and moaning and screaming were rampant.

An explosive sword technique used only by Bright Knights.

Occasionally, some of the enemy knights bounced off or cut them with swordsmanship, but it was difficult to survive.

It was because the sword of the duke flew to such people without fail.

Quack!

The explosion was so violent that the knight, as well as several other nearby cavalrymen, were scattered into the air at once.

Of course, the ground also caved in, and muddy water splashed in all directions.

As the sword skills of other knights attacked in succession, it seemed difficult for anyone other than a sword master to survive.

“Don’t let go of the reins! Crush it without leaving a single one behind!”

Under the periodic flashes of light, the Duke of Bright, his silver hair fluttering, was unrelentingly firing his sword.

And each time there was a violent explosion, and the enemies were blown into pieces. Red blood was also splattered everywhere.

Ansus, who followed right after the duke, was also ruthlessly destroying the enemy by quickly flying a sword immediately after firing a flashlight.

Enemy soldiers crumble in front of Bright’s sword.

Wouldn’t it feel exactly like this when you pour water on a crowded swarm of ants?

I couldn’t even make a proper counterattack and was helplessly being swept away.

One strange thing was that even after being crushed so badly, some people didn’t even draw their weapons.

Someone hurriedly turned and ran away, and another even threw away the spear he was holding.

Faces full of fear.

Maybe that’s why, I even felt as if I had come this way by accident while running away from an enemy I could never resist.

Around the time Duke Bright received a call from the chancellor.

Duke Shade was also contacted by the chancellor.

Without even a second of hesitation, she dispatched the entire army of the duchy.

Then she immediately turned into a raven and pursued the emperor alone.

The emperor rode nonstop with the imperial knights, and the duke watched the situation while flying as high as possible so as not to get caught.

Then, as dusk fell, they encountered an encircled elven envoy.

The soldiers of Duke Bios surrounded the delegation. The scale seemed to be in the thousands.

It must have meant that they had decided to capture the elven delegation, and it was clear treason.

They were openly rebelling against the Emperor’s edict banning elven slavery, so there’s no excuse for that.

The act of attacking the delegation for no particular reason, regardless of the Elf, was also an act of tarnishing Kratus’ name, so even that alone was a serious crime worth dying for.

Now Duke Shade had a reason to exterminate Bios.

Fortunately, the Imperial Knight Commander’s threat worked and the soldiers had no choice but to return empty-handed.

Watching the soldiers walk away, Duke Shade, who had turned into a crow, cried out in anger.

Gaaak-

‘Duke Bios. I will annihilate all of your blood relatives.’

Of course not yet.

Once the emperor returned to the imperial palace, the plan was to deal with it quietly, without the knowledge of mice or birds.

Not long after his soldiers left, Duke Bios finally showed his rebellion openly.

I sent a large force of cavalry and sword masters that seemed to exceed at least 10,000 people.

The Sword Master was Fulgor, a guy I saw in Lake County.

‘Something that sticks well here and there is just like a bat.’

If there is a battle, it is obvious that it will be a very difficult fight.

A single Fulgor would tie the knights’ feet, and in the meantime, a lot of cavalrymen would come and try to assassinate the emperor.

Fortunately, the emperor blew off the enemy commander’s head, causing the enemy soldiers to fall into complete confusion and hesitate.

In fact, things might have been complicated quite a bit if Fulgor had quelled the confusion of his soldiers himself and charged with them.

But fortunately, his hair didn’t look too good.

He definitely looked stupid just by running alone screaming.

If that’s the case, the Imperial Knight Commander alone should be able to block it enough.

Duke Shade took advantage of that opportunity and went to Duke Bright.

But when she came back, the elves were healing the fallen Fulgor.

Even the emperor was talking about Fulgor and Doran.

Perhaps the Emperor was planning to recruit him back into the Imperial Knights.

Even if it’s a little stupid, it won’t be useless since you’re a sword master.

‘If His Majesty’s intentions are true, then there’s nothing we can do about it. But I’ll need a little more time.’

Duke Shade instantly turned into a crow and flew right through the enemy soldiers.

In the enemy camp, a new leader had already appeared and quickly pacified his soldiers and was reorganizing.

‘I’m sorry, but I can’t just leave it alone.’

Duke Shade changed into the appearance of the deceased commander.

Her purpose was to create constant confusion and prevent the reorganization of the pursuit force.

So she started killing them one by one in the order of their rank.

Those who tried to order or calm the soldiers around her were also cut down without hesitation.

Poo-Wak!

Her hands, transformed into crow’s feet, pierce the heart of her foe.

Chupak!

I took the enemy’s knife and cut her throat.

Hook!

Throwing a spear, it also pierced the stomach of the person who gave the command.

All of her slaughter flowed naturally, like water, and it was very easy for her.

The moment a nearby torch lit up the face of the Duke, the enemy soldiers screamed in astonishment, emitting a lot of deep fear.

And that only became the power of Duke Shade.

“All of you, like me, will die in vain.”

The same voice as the commander. The content was also terrifying.

“Boo, his head must have exploded and he died… ….”

Enemy soldiers trembled with fear, regardless of position, and did not dare to point their swords at them.

It wasn’t just because of the appearance of the dead.

It was because of the cruelty that pierced the heart without changing a single expression and unusual movement.

Anyway, all that was left for the duke was to take the lives of his enemies lightly, like a farmer reaping the harvest.

Duke Shade ran across the middle of the enemy camp wielding the enemy’s sword.

Moving in the dark is her long term.

Occasionally, when enemies attacked, they disappeared like smoke and reappeared in the dark to take someone else’s life.

There could be nothing more futile than an army that had lost order.

At first, it was just a small commotion, but it grew bigger and bigger, and in the end, it became a huge storm and reached the point where it could no longer be called an army.

In confusion, he was confused and bumped into each other, fell off his horse and was trampled by her hooves. He stabbed the Duke of Shade, but she disappeared like smoke from her, and as she avoided him, he killed an ally and was decapitated by another soldier.

The horses, too, were often startled by the vicious death and began to struggle, dropping their masters.

Duke Shade continued to take on multiple guises, instilling intense doubt and fear in the hearts of her enemies, harnessing the sheer amount of fear they harbored in her.

In fact, if he had absorbed this much fear, it was possible to cause mass destruction by blooming the flowers of darkness in the hearts of many.

However, these were soldiers of the Kratus Empire after all.

Now, I met the commander by mistake and called him an enemy, but in the future, he will become an ally who must protect Kratus’s borders.

So taking their lives would be a huge loss for the entire empire.

So it would have been enough just to cause chaos and take away its function as a military force.

As time passed, the soldiers’ confusion grew out of control, and those who couldn’t stand the fear finally began to scatter in all directions.

‘I have to go and deal with the culprit soon.’

Duke Bright will come soon, so there will be no need to worry about the safety of the emperor anymore.

She set her mind at ease and headed for Duke Bios.

In the first place, war is decided by a few with power.

If only Duke Bios, who caused this whole situation, is eliminated, the situation will be over.

When it comes to her assassination, there is no one better than her on this vast continent.

Tonight, the Duke of Bios will be erased without the knowledge of mice or birds.
