YOUR HELP(3)

Lenastronople, once a fortress city that became one of the cities with the strongest defense not only in the County of Otilia, but even in the Kingdom of Artchania. Unfortunately, as the expansion of the kingdom and the change of regional power caused the defense of the city to experience less development and care. The city was once part of a duchy called the Duchy of Stuartogenet. However, since the Otilian dynasty won regional power from the former House of Stuartogenet, coupled with the establishment as a county, Lenastronople gradually lost its status as the most powerful city. The Duchy of Stuartogenet eventually collapsed, and its present portion is the County of Otilia, the County of Yorksall, and most of the eastern portion of the March of Canadia.

But now the historic city has turned into a sea of burning fire.

In the end the old fortress had to fall back.

Viscount Lambert Lu'Cois Arlouise was one of the followers of the current count. He is believed to lead about 2,500 regular troops from the county.

Lambert had class as an eques.

Eques means a warrior who uses mana. Unlike the knights who use aura. Although eques and knights are both interpreted as knights, but eques has its own privileges. Because the role of a magic warrior is rarer than a warrior even from a magic caster though, so that the class eques or classes of other magic warrior roles are always pursued by the royalty, noble, and others , or even the guild.

For information, the Arlouise family is a family formed from the marriage of one of the Otilia Family and the Stuartogenet Family. The family was formed as a solution to the tension between the two great noble families, although the Stuartogenet family was ultimately destroyed by the invasion of the Canadians, aided by the Otilia, Yorksall, and Norchaster Families. The destruction of the Stuartogenet Family which was one of the largest noble houses certainly shook the kingdom. The House of Stuartogenet had the assistance of other major houses such as the Fertiphile, Whitesburg, Sinteny, and Sandwealth.

Lambert tried to remain standing but the wounds on his body even made it difficult for him to breathe. Currently he was surrounded by hundreds of lifeless corpses. Hundreds of houses were on fire, and shouts of misfortune here and there continued to echo.

This is his defeat ....

Lambert stared hatefully at the six figures before him.One of the figures held a sword blade covered by ice while the other wielded an unknown dark sword.

The temperature around the figure was extremely cold, even causing the presence of dew and ice fog around the figure.

"Teacher, you didn't think I could win?"

The figure with the ice sword mocked Lambert with a disdainful look.

That figure was none other than Peter, the brain of all these attacks.

"Teacher, I originally wanted to let you go. But I'm more curious if I send your head to that woman, what do you think her expression is?"

Lambert gritted his teeth. He didn't answer. But Peter did not need an answer.

"Well .. You're too old to be a soldier, right? Do you have any last words, Master?"

"Shut up!"

Lambert drew his sword while reciting a spell.

"[Slash of Power Strike]!"

Lambert stuck his sword on the ground. In the next second, the ground experienced a violent earthquake causing the ground around Lambert at a radius of 20 meters to split like a spider web with Lambert as its center.

Peter had almost lost his balance. He quickly jumped away from the AoE attack. As for the five people behind him had long disappeared dodging the attack.

But it's not finished.

When Lambert drew back his sword, from the underground a lava flow was suddenly created.

But the lava did not spread but surrounded Lambert's sword.

[Slash of Power Strike] is a magic skill that can be equated with level 5 magic. This attack was an element type with fire, earth, and air elements as the basic elements. The fusion of the fire and air elements led to the creation of a fire vortex that surrounded Lambert's sword.

Lambert swung his sword which caused the lava to slide towards Peter like a snake attack.

Peter frantically made a shield made of ice but it shattered and evaporated. It was however impossible for him to dispel a tier 5 spell with just a tier 3 spell.

*BOOM!

A silhouette fell from above the sky right in front of Peter.

The silhouette was a female figure wearing full dark armor. He was one of the figures behind Peter before.

He shrewdly repelled the lava attack with just a hand gesture. The attack was blocked as if there was an invisible wall protecting the two people behind it. He did not even sound like he was saying a spell.

Another figure who was also using full armor as well as a dark sword again appeared.

Lambert had no idea who the five men were on Peter's side. But he can make sure that these people are very strong. It was they who made him unable to attack Peter.

The woman wearing full armor raised both her hands to the sky.

Lambert has lost a lot of mana can't do much. But he did not want to back off. Although he did not know what the woman was doing but he could not be careless.

*KREERROAAKKKKKK!!!

"That!!"

The loud scream of the figure caught the attention of everyone. Even the soldiers who were fighting each other unconsciously stopped and dumbfoundedly watched the figure of the creature from the sky descend.

*KREERROAAKKKKKK!!!

*KREERROAAKKKKKK!!!

*KREERROAAKKKKKK!!!

*KREERROAAKKKKKK!!!

Four similar figures appeared shortly after the figure of the previous creature.

"Wyverns!" lambert Murmur.

The five figures had a pair of black and strong wings, skin filled with scales, mouth decorated by fangs. Their bodies resemble giant reptiles with a length from head to tail of 5 meters and when they spread both wings, each of their bodies has a width twice the length of the body.

***

Ravouille, Capital of the County of Otilia

The figure of a woman with a sword hanging on her waist continued to walk gloomily.

The woman had long brown curly hair only reaching the nape of her neck.

It did not feel like he had stopped at a door, he did not spend much energy pushing the door.

Inside, a woman with blond hair was just wailing through a glass window. He saw pedestrians walking along the road.

"Miss Clotildy."

Clotildy D'Magnarie Otilia, eldest daughter of the count and countess of Otilia. He has long blonde hair that looks shiny and smooth. His long eyelashes and skin were as white as snow. But the most striking is the pupils of his eyes are sky blue.

"Joan."

Clotildy turned her gaze to her best bodyguard and best friend, Joan de Rosse Orbelin. Clotildy's face showed absolutely no emotion but as a friend who had been with her from childhood until now, Joan knew how her best friend felt today.

"Miss, Lord Lamberth's body has been buried. The House of Arlouise will soon choose the next lord. You are asked to attend ...."

Joan did not continue her speech when she saw her nona had frowned.

Clotildy did not participate in the funeral procession of her teacher. It was not that he did not want to come along but that he was afraid that when he attended the funeral ceremony, he might cry.

If this was an ordinary girl in general it probably wouldn't be a problem. Clotildy is a little special. When she was born she did not cry at all. Even in his lifetime he only cried twice, when he was 8 years old at that time his favorite cat died and when 13 years old when his grandmother breathed his last. She is 18 years old so she should be married or engaged. However, due to Otilia's background which is quite unique among patriarchal societies, he still remains single.

Returning to the issue of crying, the strange thing is that the day after his cry there will be a terrible event. For example, the day after the death of his cat, tomorrow all the male cats in Ravouille City die for no apparent reason. Second, the day after her grandmother's death, all pregnant mothers in Ravouille miscarried.

The temple eventually believed and assumed that Clotildy's cry would cause the six gods to wrath (God in the teachings of Hexathesime). Since then, with various suggestions here and there finally Clotildy was used to holding back her tears.

If I may be honest, he is very sad and angry at the moment. He was angry at himself who did not go to the battlefield. But more than that, he hated his own brother who had betrayed the family and instead joined Marquess Canadia.

The war between Otilia and Canadia took place in the spring. It's obviously been a very bad start. While all the fief wars between nobles automatically stopped due to the snow season in order to prevent the loss of logistics stock, Otilia and Canadia announced a fief war.

The cause was an accusation by the House of Canadia that the House of Otilia had set fire to one of the March of Canadia grain warehouses bordering the County of Yorksall. It has not yet been proven, but it has become a casus belli.

Before winter, the March of Canadia and the County of Yorksall were at war with each other. Yorksall is in a parliamentary coalition with Otilia, Fertiphile and Morhust. But when a fief war occurs, not much help is given. In the end Yorksall had to admit defeat by being proven to sign a peace treaty and pay a price not a little if they do not want to be eliminated by Canadia.

But the aggression of Canadia did not stop after successfully conquering Yorksall. This time the view of the marquess turned to the neighboring County of Yorksall, the County of Otilia.

Unfortunately the County of Otilia was not in a stable state at the time. The cause was none other than the outbreak of civil war between the count's children.

While Clotildy was silent in her heart-wrenching grief, Joan approached. Then he knelt like a knight right in front of Clotildy. From his waist bag, he took out a scroll and handed it to Clotildy.

"Miss, Lady gave the order."

Expressionless, Clotildy took the scroll without reading it. Then he looked back at the glass window while muttering.

"I hope the atmosphere will stay the same when I get back."

Clotildy clearly knew what the contents of this scroll were.

A few days ago he was called by his mother to seek outside help. Precisely his order was to seek the support of the grand nobles of the coalition, of course he had to go to other counties especially neighboring counties such as the County of Fertiphile and the County of Morhust.
