Episode 210 Guardian of Iron Blood ‘Empire’ (4)
Within the imperial palace, there are numerous secret routes for the royal family.
Worst case.
The idea is that even if the enemies come here, at least the royal family must escape.
Since security was important, only the royal family should know the location of these passages… … .
How on earth does a stranger know exactly the secret passage to the imperial palace?
“This is ridiculous….”
Beinsteln bit his lip in such a shocking situation.
The rest of the nobles were equally surprised.
“I never thought there was a secret passage in the meeting room.”
“I’ve been attending meetings here for 30 years, but this is the first time I’ve seen a gap there.”
“I just can’t believe it.”
While everyone was looking down the aisle and talking, Abraham approached McKensey.
“Are you okay?”
McKensie’s face was red as he still couldn’t let go of his anger.
“Yes. It’s okay.”
A tone of voice that says it’s no big deal.
but.
Abraham immediately grabbed McKensey’s arm.
“Big!”
A voice filled with pain came out.
Abraham’s eyes narrowed.
“It’s nothing special. I didn’t infuse magical power properly, so I got slightly injured….”
McKenzie made an excuse, but those words did not reach Abraham’s ears.
‘no way… … ‘This much?’
My arm was broken.
When I looked at it with the naked eye, I judged it to be almost equal… … .
No, I actually thought that McKenzie overwhelmed his opponent in weight class and strength.
… … It was a complete misjudgment.
In that brief moment, the guy exploded with magic power that was difficult to perceive by feeling.
That’s why I didn’t notice.
Really, it’s such a natural and fast use of horsepower that it gives you goosebumps.
‘You didn’t run away without your tail.’
In fact, if he had his way, McKenzie’s head would be lying on the floor.
Right then.
Beinsteln, stained with anger, approached.
“Lord Abraham, form a chase team and go after him right now. If we lose sight of the heretic like this, we risk losing the trust of the surrounding kingdoms.”
“Your Excellency the Duke. Before that, may I ask you one thing?”
Abraham lowered his voice.
“It looks like you have something to say. Tell me.”
“Do we really have to turn him into an enemy?”
“What does that mean?”
“I mean it literally. Rather than antagonizing him and seeing blood, I think it would be better to appease him to our side.”
“Hehe. He may have some useful skills, but compared to you, he’s nothing. Above all, with a great mission just around the corner, I can’t risk embracing something I don’t even know where he came from. So, let’s go after him right away. Pack it up.”
It was finally time for the seeds that had been carefully prepared for so many years to germinate.
Just a little longer, and you will finally be able to reach the moment when you will ascend from the status of a nobleman to the position of emperor.
For that, I made a plan and sacrificed everything for over 10 years.
To achieve this, he joined hands with Murim, who had been fighting as enemies his entire life.
However, Abraham, who thought he would immediately agree to what he said, was surprisingly quiet.
It was hard to find any confidence in the look on his face, with his lips tightly bitten.
“……Are you sure you’re going to be so worried?”
“To be honest, I think we have a 50-50 chance of winning.”
Odds of winning 50 to 50.
If it had not been Abraham who said this, no one would have believed it.
It’s a natural thing.
If the empire’s strongest knight only has a 50/50 chance of winning, who can say yes?
And that too, against strangers you see for the first time.
“I guess you really mean it.”
“Yes. Considering his ability to control his magical power and break McKensey’s arm with one blow, he is by no means beneath me.”
Only then did Beishteln realize that the newly introduced variable was much more serious than expected.
“This… we’ll have to completely rethink the game.”
The worries didn’t last long.
“Gather all the leaders who participated in the rebellion to my mansion. I think we should have a long talk over dinner. Of course, don’t forget to make sure those who are loyal to the imperial family don’t find out.”
＊＊＊
with a splash! with a splash!
After walking along the sewer for a while.
Jinhyeok was able to come out into an alley on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
“shit…….”

I was worried that there would be a reverberation if I used magical power, so I just came here and got completely wet up to my ankles.
“Tsk, tsk. Didn’t I tell you to be careful? I almost got dirt on the noble wings of this body. Why is the smell so bad? It doesn’t suit me.”
Ellis, who was on my shoulder, complained while covering her nose with her finger.
People came here, suffering to death.
My mouth is still alive on topics I come to with ease.
Jinhyuk gently grabbed Ellis’ wings.
And slowly stretched out his hand towards the water.
“Aaaah! Let go. Now, wait a minute! It’s touching your feet. It’s touching your feet!”
Ellis struggled with his whole body.
“I did not know the precious Jinjo and brought him to this squalid place. I have truly committed a deadly sin.”
“I’m sorry. Okay. Okay, so stop. Hey! These are expensive clothes!”
“Just one more time and I’ll let you test out in the water how good your cardiorespiratory fitness is. So be careful. I’ll ask you a favor.”
“Uh, huh.”
“good.”
Jinhyuk put Ellis on his shoulder again.
After taking a deep breath, Ellis opened her mouth again in a depressed voice.
“So what are you going to do from now on?”
“What are you going to do?”
“You said you were trying to be on the same side as the Empire, right? But if you mess around like this, won’t you become a public enemy?”
okay. It would be easy to think that way.
They broke into a conference room full of nobles and caused a commotion, so the guards in the entire capital must be busy looking for them by now.
but.
“On the contrary, what I did probably made one person interested in me.”
The empire is currently comprised of the noble faction and the imperial faction.
It is divided into two formations.
Duke Bainsteln and Mackensie, who we fought just now, are all members of the aristocratic faction.
The people who should be together in the empire were not the bastards, but the opposing forces loyal to the emperor and the imperial family.
A spark appeared in the helpless emperor’s eyes, so the possibility was fully created.
“Huh. Did you think about all of that before going into action? It wasn’t as simple as I thought.”
“What on earth did you think I was?”
“Of course it’s evil… No, I think of him as the greatest contractor ever in the world. Really.”
Ellis, who saw Jinhyeok’s fingers pointing towards his wings, quickly turned around.
“But is it possible to fight Wu Rim with just the imperial forces? I heard the duke has already joined hands with Wu Rim?”
“That’s true, but we don’t need to deal with the entire Wulin. There are cards among them that can be exploited.”
The side they had been clashing with until now was the martial arts group consisting of Odaesega, Gupa Ilbang, and Sapa.
But there is another force here… … .
They are the Church of the Heavenly Demon, which has just closed down.
“Cheonmara… I’ve bumped into him a few times. That guy is truly terrible. Even if it were you, it wouldn’t be easy to take advantage of him, right?”
“It depends on what you do.”
Of course I know this guy is hard to deal with.
How can a guy with a middle school diploma who can spit out outrageous lines like, “There should be no one under the sky that disobeys him”, be obedient and listen to you?
Nevertheless, Jinhyeok was confident that he could include that personality in his calculations.
“I always feel it. You are always so confident.”
“What’s new… Rather, get ready quickly. We’ve arrived at our destination.”
No matter how big the capital is, you won’t be able to outrun all the guards.
I need a place to stay while I’m here.
And that place… … .
It was already decided from the beginning.
Jinhyuk adjusted the amount of magical power injected into Ellis.
Wooooow!
With the bright light, Ellis’ height increased to nearly 160cm.
“Are you here?”
“okay.”
Shake!
The door to one of the shanty towns where Jinhyeok was lined up opened.
OK.
“You came at just the right time.”
A familiar voice greeted the two.
＊＊＊
A small room that can barely fit 4 people.
The person occupying one corner of the table made of old wood… … .
… … It was Penheimer whom I met at the conference hall.
“Isn’t it too much for a safe house?”
Jinhyuk grumbled.
Although it is not a mansion with 4 rooms and 2 bathrooms, I think this is a bit harsh.
Although he is known as one of the Empire’s 100 Sword Masters, he is only a guard.
“Haha. A place like this is actually less noticeable. You two, please come in.”
As soon as Fenheimer brought Jinhyuk and Ellis inside, he locked the door tightly.
“It’s shabby, but we have enough food to eat.”
From drinks such as water, wine, beer, and tea.
Cheese, sausage, bacon, etc., as well as various types of bread.
A banquet was prepared that was completely different from the shabby interior.
Ellis’ eyes sparkled brightly.
For her, for whom food is her greatest happiness, food from a new world always makes her heart race.
“Wow. It’s not bad. This combination of cheese and wine is quite satisfying.”
While Ellis was pursing his mouth with his cheeks puffed out.
Fenheimer looked at Jinhyuk with satisfied eyes.
It’s a truly burdensome look.
“It seems like you were quite satisfied with the performance in the conference hall.”
“Of course. It must have been a very difficult request, but Jinhyuk delivered results that exceeded my expectations.”
Crushing the royal knights with overwhelming force.
Who would have thought that he would even break the arm of McKensey, who is said to have no one in the empire to match his toughness.
“I’ve never seen Sir Abraham, who was always easy-going, so embarrassed. Of course, Duke Beinsteln’s expression was quite something to see.”
At this level, any further qualifications would be meaningless.
“I apologize for daring to test you, Jinhyuk. I swear in the name of Eibak von Penheimer that I will never doubt your abilities again.”
thud!
Fenheimer knelt down on one knee toward Jinhyuk.
The sword held with both hands touched the wooden floor.
This is a movement that is an example of an article.
Jinhyuk was taken aback by this sudden action.
‘You mean you can throw everything away for the revival of the empire?’
Otherwise, it would be unthinkable for a noble knight to kneel and apologize.
“Raise your head. I understand what you mean. Of course, if something like this happens again in the future, I will hold you accountable for the oath you just made.”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
“Now then, Mr. Fenheimer, please tell me what plan you have in mind. How will the imperial family move in the future?”
“I don’t know if you know this, but we can never win this war with our forces divided.”
A serious story came out.
It was also the result of penetrating to the essence and coldly judging reality.
“……That will probably happen. The imperial family will never be able to secure a ‘base’ with the military power it possesses.”
The first key point in the war against the martial arts is who will secure the ‘Holy Giants’ located on the 29th floor.
It was a major base where they could establish a bridgehead in each other’s territory, but
Because the giants were so strong, both forces were unable to attack this place easily.
In the end, securing that area was the top priority in order to win.
“That’s right. You never know when the nobles will attack you. Above all, the information on all of our skilled sword masters is known.”
What is your specialty and what sword technique do you like to use?
Even what restaurant you often go to.
This means that the nobles are already seeing this clearly.
They say you can win every battle, but if that only applies to your opponent, there is nothing more frustrating than that.
so.
“I would like Jinhyeok to take on that mission.”
Fenheimer spat out something absurd with a calm face.
… … huh?
What now… … ?
