Episode 133. The West Wind.
‘Operation change.’
Originally, I would have given a blow to the Knights of God protecting Ragnarok and just wanted to go back, but after seeing the fragments of memory I encountered here, I couldn’t just pass them by.
“Bring me this guy named Mayer, or I’ll kill him.”
I spoke to Rothschild’s guards painted with golden lions.
The movement of them forming a circle around us was unusual. As if they wanted to catch me even if they abandoned their commander, they all approached slowly without any intention of killing.
‘Are you saying there is no need for this guy’s life?’
Well, if you’re in charge of security in Midgard, you’re probably a low- or mid-level knight. If that’s the case, you won’t be very loyal to your superiors, and if your superiors disappear, you’ll only have a chance to get promoted.
I then twisted the sword and cut off the knight’s head.
Suddenly.
He pushed forward and rushed towards the knights.
Doo doo doo doo-
Rothschild’s knights simultaneously drew their swords.
“Fight the sword!”
From his words, I could tell that they lacked battlefield experience, as he ordered them to hold their swords while their swords were already drawn.
“th.”
The red aura and blue mana swirled around the blade, converging on the tip of the sword, and soon emitted a vivid purple light, emitting intense force in all directions.
Ssaaaa-.
Those who know how to use Aurors would probably sense death the moment they see this light, and those who do not know how to use Aurors would simply be frozen in inexplicable fear and not think anything.
But to me, the enemy’s reaction did not matter.
Because either of them will die the moment they see this light.
“This is Strange’s sword.”
A loud sound of wind cracking was heard from where the sword passed.
Boom!
This is the afterimage that follows after the blade passes by and the plosive sound that splits space.
Kwazik- Kwajijijik!
Half-moon shaped split. A single sword strike towards the enemy.
I cut off the bodies of ten knights with a single blow, and stabbed the last person standing with my sword into his heart, stopping his sword movement.
Flutter!
Purple light shimmered softly on their bodies.
“… “Go away.”
Quang!
The shocked corpses of the knights flew everywhere. Even though he was wearing full plate mail that was so heavy that it was difficult to hold his body up, he looked very light, like a wooden doll that children play with.
“Bring Mayer. “If you don’t listen to me, everyone here will die today.”
The remaining members of the Knights of God looked at each other in turn with embarrassed expressions.
Even if you roughly count their number, there are a hundred of them. If the commander was normal, he would have been able to waste time against me.
‘It won’t be possible now.’
Each individual is strong, but no one gives proper orders. As I got ready to attack once again, one of the knights behind me raised his voice.
“General Mayer is away.”
When I turned my head, I saw a young man with shoulder-length short, silver hair. He had a noble-like tone and a very handsome face.
“Where is it?”
“Let’s start with the whole name first. “I am Pendragon, the guardian knight of the Rothschild family who guards the entrance to Midgard.”
“Pendragon?”
“That’s right.”
Dragon is a name I want to kill.
But I suppressed my impulse and answered him.
“This is Strange’s Verdin.”
“Strange’s… . Verdin?! Oh, no, then you are the new matriarch of Strange, taking over from Lois. “You mean Lord Verdin?”
“okay.”
Pendragon returned his sword to its sheath and bowed his head politely. Then, he let his guard down and came in front of me, bowing his head and holding out his hands.
“It’s an honor to meet you. “I don’t know what kind of disrespect we have committed, but let me apologize first.”
I grabbed Pendragon by his hair and forcibly lifted him up.
Pak.
“Apologies, damn it, and bring that guy named Mayer.”
Pendragon raised his hands above his shoulders with an embarrassed expression.
“Beh, Lord Verdin. I don’t know why you’re so angry, but could you please calm down first? “If you want to meet with General Mayer, please prepare a place for me.”
“Preparing a place?”
“exactly. He is the commander of my superior unit. It may not be easy, but we will be able to contact you.”
How can that guy be so calm? Even though I revealed that I was Strange, they treated me with respect.
This is clearly a situation where they must be hostile towards us.
I let go of the hand holding his hair.
“I don’t understand.”
“What do you mean?”
“Your attitude. I’m sure those guys up there are dying to have my head. “How can you treat me with such a calm face?”
“… When you say above, are you referring to the children of the original family?”
“Yeah, no, I don’t know if it’s the child or the head of the family. “Although it is clear that Rothschilds like you are targeting me.”
Pendragon shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but I’m different from them. “It may seem that way since we have the same name, but I am a citizen of Midgard, not Ragnarok.”

“People of Midgard?”
“Yes, Lord Verdin, as you know, Ragnarok and Midgard are completely different countries. “I don’t know what the direct relatives of the main family above are doing now, but we, as collateral, do not want to bear the burden of pretending to be Strange.”
Nonsense.
Strange was defined as an enemy by the family, so how could the brothers from the collateral world not follow him?
In other words, it is the same as causing a rebellion from within.
“So you’re saying you won’t follow your family’s orders?”
“If we don’t agree, that’s okay. Although we have the Rothschild name, strictly speaking, we are not blood relatives, so there is no need to do so.”
“Not blood relatives?”
“Yes, outsiders probably don’t know this. “The people of Midgard only received Rothschild’s name and were not related by blood.”
This was also my first time hearing this story.
According to common sense, wouldn’t it be accepted as a member of the family if there is even a little bit of blood involved? That is, to have the name ‘Rothschild’, a huge family with the title of child of God.
The more I talked to him, the more my doubts deepened.
After talking with him for a while, I confirmed that there was no hostility, so I put away my sword and decided to move to a place where I could not be seen.
* * *
A forest village at the bottom of the world tree, Yggdrasil, where the people of Midgard live.
I heard an incredible truth inside the small church built there.
“Are you saying that the people here now are rebels?”
Pendragon revealed his unit organization without hesitation.
Rothschild’s army with a huge military force called the Knights of God, and the lowest of them all, the guard guarding the entrance to Midgard.
‘Pendragon Knights.’
Pendragon was a man with great pride, so much so that he named his knights after himself and led them.
“I think it would be better if you said we were a revolutionary army rather than a rebel army. “How it will be evaluated will vary depending on the results, but that is what we think.”
“Why are you telling me this? If I tell others about this. “Immediately, the upper levels of Rothschild will send soldiers to kill you.”
“Lord Verdin may not do that, but if he does, this is also my fate.”
“Fate?”
“Yes, isn’t it true that God’s will has come true that I have formed a relationship with Lord Verdin today?”
He spoke while holding the cross around his neck.
“Did my confession make Lord Verdin uncomfortable?”
“No, it’s just your presence itself that makes me uncomfortable.”
“My very existence?”
“Okay, to be honest, it’s hard for me to believe what you’re saying right now. Even if you believe it, I will attack Midgard to achieve my goal. Otherwise, there is no reason why I came here.”
In common sense, who would ask for help from someone they see for the first time today, especially to the head of an enemy army, revealing that they are a rebel?
I don’t know what others would think, but to me, what he said sounded false.
“Then we too will have no choice but to fight to survive. “But please remember this one thing.”
“What do you mean?”
“We know that even if war breaks out between Rothschild and Strange, they will not have the power to run away or fight against you.”
“What does that mean? “Aren’t you the knights of God who protect Midgard?”
“They are called the Knights of God. “Like a wolf that has lost its teeth, it is powerless.”
“A wolf that lost its teeth?”
“Yes, Lord Verdin will know after dealing with our knights-”
Pendragon clicked his tongue and answered with a mysterious smile.
“High-ranking people beheaded all the commanders of our unit. In addition, those who were highly skilled had their arms and legs cut off. “They say they are plotting treason.”
What does this mean again?
“So they also know that you are planning a rebellion?”
“No, no one thought like that at the time. “I just did that because the new head of the family was tripping me up.”
“New head of the family?”
“Yes, the new head of the family said a few years ago. “They say you can feed a guard dog, but you don’t let a dog off leash if it can bite its owner.”
A dog that can bite its owner.
I guess it’s not that far away.
“I guess they are wary of us who have sworn eternal loyalty to the previous head of the family.”
“I’m the head of the house?”
“Yes, you are in prison now…” . “Our lord.”
I have a lot of questions, but I didn’t ask any questions. It would be an obvious story anyway for the family head to change and its power to be kept in check.
“I don’t know what Lord Verdin wants, but if you wish, I will prepare for battle with Strange.”
“… … .”
“The result is obvious, though.”
I rested my chin and thought about it for a moment.
What could happen if everything Pendragon says is true, and if it is false, what does he want?
I had to calculate the pros and cons that could arise for me in either of the two situations.
“If you let me achieve a revolution in Midgard. “What can you do for me?”
Pendragon opened his eyes wide and jumped up from his seat.
“… entire. “If there is anything we can do, we will do it.”
Everything.
This is the answer of someone who really has nothing to lose.
“Then, first, please call Mayer here. “If you do that, I will believe your words.”
I continued speaking while swiping the Strange symbol engraved on my chest.
“I will recapture Ragnarok. For those to whom you have sworn allegiance.”
* * *
Two days after the war between Strange and Glaser began. The fight between the two families that would change the landscape of the continent did not progress as expected.
At the very least, a big fight had to break out that would burn an entire country overnight.
Since both forces are taking precautions, those who hope to benefit from this war will feel heartbroken.
As a result, lesser forces behind the scenes began to intervene directly in the fight.
“Let the wizards give you the power of the waves, Lord Albus.”
Under the orders of Archbishop Judah, the five generals who had been quietly working behind the scenes began to move in earnest.
“Yes, Archbishop.”
