It was a regretful thing to say to Duke Brduheโ€™s Twilight, but the Seal Retriever was the most amazing sword among the swords Johan had caught. You could feel its greatness every time you wielded it.

Every time he swung it, the mysterious aura that pulsated and poured out penetrated Karamafโ€™s body. Even the vicious aura of death did not dare approach it.

โ€œ. . . . . .โ€

Karamaf took an aloof stance and aimed his sword. His movements did not change at all even as his armor was torn and black blood poured out from inside.

Seeing that, the soldiers screamed.

โ€œItโ€™s a monster! Itโ€™s as good as a monster!โ€

โ€œLindemann-nim really has Sir Karamaf under his evil magic!โ€

โ€œWhat kind of nonsense is that?!โ€

Lindemann was furious and tried to refute, but even the frontline captains who had thick nerves were looking at Lindemann with apprehension.

No matter how they thought about it, Count Yeatsโ€™ words sounded more plausible.

It was already suspicious that he was holding Sir Karamafโ€™s sword in the first place, and more than anything, the reputation he had built made Johanโ€™s words more credible.

How could such an honorable knight tell a lie?

โ€œLindemann-nim. You may have to escape.โ€

The guards protecting Lindemann whispered urgently. As seasoned warriors, they were the first to notice the strange atmosphere in this place.

If he didnโ€™t escape quickly, it could become irreversible.

However, to Lindemann, it sounded like nonsense.

โ€œWhat kind of nonsense is that?! There are so many soldiers here, and you tell me to just run away?!โ€

Lindemann may not have been an outstanding knight, but he knew the basics of military strategy.

To flee so suddenly even after being ambushed was the most foolish thing to do. What did they mean, when there were only this many in number?

Besides, the soldiers here were hand-picked elites. If he quickly gave orders to form up and then fought, there would be some damage but it was definitely worth trying.

However, the guards did not think so.

That was only if they fought united, but the atmosphere now clearly painted Lindemann as the villain.

With just a few words, Count Yeats had turned Lindemann into the bad guy.

โ€œThe atmosphere is strange.โ€

โ€œPersuade them properly! Theyโ€™ll understand if you persuade them!โ€

โ€œI think itโ€™ll be hard to persuade them. . .โ€

The emperor may not even fear God and attack the church, but most people have a deep awe of divinity. Why would the emperor hide it if he is inviting evil wizards to the court?

Sir Karamaf had an infamous reputation among the nobles, but he was still a well-known knight in the emperorโ€™s faction. Seeing such a knight in that state was also shocking to the soldiers.

โ€œYour Excellency! Let me help you!โ€

โ€œEnough. Iโ€™ll take care of this alone.โ€

Hearing the voice behind him, Johan reached out his hand. Of course, Johan did not really want to fight one-on-one either, but seeing the atmosphere below, one-on-one looked better.

โ€˜๐˜๐˜ฆโ€™๐˜ด ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต.โ€™

Once again the sword light flashed and Karamafโ€™s armor was torn. Black blood kept pouring out, yet Karamaf still stood.

However, Johan did not panic.

If he was an ordinary knight, he would have been flustered or overwhelmed, slowing his steps, but Johan had faced several far more fierce monsters than Sir Karamaf.

Iโ€™m not surprised by something like this now.

โ€˜๐˜๐˜ต ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฆ.โ€™

The sharp aura it emitted when alive is gone, only spewing out a sticky and dark atmosphere. It was easier to deal with if he thought of it as a monster instead of a person.

Johan blocked the deathly energy it spilled out whenever his sword touched it with the blessing of the spirit, and the attacks that pushed with an inhuman strength were actually one step ahead for him.

๐๐จ๐จ๐ฆ!

Another deep attack went in. It was an attack that seemed like it would diagonally split the body in two. Sir Karamaf staggered back. Johan raised his sword and aimed at his opponentโ€™s neck.

Sir Karamafโ€™s neck shot up with the sword light.

โ€œBe careful!โ€

Suetlg shouted from behind. Johan nodded. Karamaf was still charging at him.

The warriors behind had a bored expression. What kind of enemy is still moving after its neck has flown off?

โ€œShould we take out the artifact?โ€

โ€œHmm. . .!โ€

Suetlg wondered if thatโ€™s what they should do. To be honest, he didnโ€™t know it could still move after its neck was cut off.

However, Johan did not panic. This time he charged and blew off one leg. As he fell, next an arm, then the other arm, a leg. . .

And then he kicked him in opposite directions. The disjointed corpse parts squirmed but could not properly reconnect because of the distance.

โ€œSet fire and burn it up!โ€

โ€œ. . .Yes!โ€

The warriors shouted, impressed. They didnโ€™t know it could be resolved like that.

๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ

โ€œCatch that b*stard!โ€

โ€œ. .Are you crazy??!โ€

Lindemann was startled. At Johanโ€™s words, the soldiers were charging at them.

โ€œDonโ€™t move! If you try any suspicious magic, Iโ€™ll kill you!โ€

โ€œIโ€™m not a wizard, you fools!โ€

Seeing them aiming their maces and spears, trying to restrain Lindemann and his escorts, Johan was amazed inside.

โ€˜๐˜๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ?โ€™

Since the atmosphere was somehow friendly towards them, he shouted once riding that momentum, and the soldiers were following the order as if they were hypnotized.

If they could resolve this without fighting such great numbers, there would be nothing better.

โ€œBut. . . is it okay for me to command them?โ€

The subordinates behind Johan were as bewildered as him. Having the experience of commanding soldiers of a matching scale without their surrender was also new to them.

โ€œThey seem to be fools. The Count must have had his reasons when he did so. He must have been confident when he did it.โ€

โ€œWell, that may be so, but still. . .โ€

Seeing the spectacle of entering amidst the enemy forces with only dozens, commanding them this and that, made their alliesโ€™ guts go cold.

It felt as if something big would happen if someone asked โ€˜๐˜‰๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜บ ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด?!โ€™.

However, nothing like that happened. Johan shamelessly took control as if he himself was the commander.

โ€œLindemann-gong. You have become my prisoner now. Do you admit it?โ€

โ€œ. . .I admit it. But that magic wasnโ€™t my doing! Please believe me!!โ€

Lindemann said with a face full of injustice. At least regarding the matters with Sir Karamaf, he really wasnโ€™t at fault.

Regardless of other things, if something went wrong here, he could be taken to the Order and put on trial. They were already at war with the Emperor faction, he could end up dying unluckily.

โ€œIs that so? Well, I didnโ€™t really believe that someone like Lindemann-gong would use such wicked magic anyway.โ€

โ€œ?โ€

Euclyia next to him looked at Johan in disbelief.

Didnโ€™t you just call him a wicked wizard a moment ago. . .?

โ€œThank you for believing me!โ€

However for Lindemann, it was to the point of tears welling up from gratitude. There was reward in living faithfully and righteously until now. To be trusted in a situation like this by the opponent.

โ€œI really appreciate it. It wasnโ€™t my doing at all. . .โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s just how the world is. It would be best for you to rest a little. It must have been a shocking experience for you as well.โ€

After soothing Lindemann, Johan led him inside the tent. Suetlg said in astonishment.

โ€œYour skill in manipulation is almost at the level of magic now.โ€

โ€œYou praise me too much.โ€

๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ

The elf king frowned. Ulrike frowned too. As they got closer, they immediately relaxed their faces and politely greeted each other.

โ€œDid you set up a siege?โ€

โ€œBy the grace of God, I was able to defeat the Lochtein familyโ€™s knights in one-on-one combat.โ€

The elf kingโ€™s voice contained unrestrained joy. Defeating Lochtein knights, let alone in one-on-one combat, was no easy feat.

โ€œAnd you, My Lord?โ€

โ€œI captured retreating enemy scouts.โ€

โ€œThen you must have heard the location of the main force?โ€

โ€˜๐˜๐˜ฆโ€™๐˜ด ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฑ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ด ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด.โ€™

Ulrike cursed the elf king in her mind. He was usually oblivious, but became keenly perceptive in battles.

โ€œ. . .Shall we go together?โ€

โ€œOh my. Thank you.โ€

The two went on the trail, insulting each other amiably. Although they had driven back the rear guard, the remaining enemy forces were still considerable, led by Karamaf. They could not be careless.

โ€œ. . .?!โ€

However, what awaited them was an unimaginable sight.

โ€œThe Count. . . was captured?!โ€

The elf king asked the knight beside him in a perplexed voice. Johanโ€™s banner was planted in the enemy camp. If he had looked a little closer, he wouldnโ€™t have thought that, but the surprise was unavoidable.

โ€œIt seems the enemies were captured by the count, not the other way around.โ€

โ€œ. . .I see. But isnโ€™t it a little. . . too intact?โ€

The camp was completely untouched, as if no fight had taken place. Ulrike could not offer a very convincing opinion on this either. The elf kingโ€™s mood lifted a little.

โ€œLetโ€™s go ask the count directly!โ€

โ€œYour Majesty! It could be a trap. . .โ€

โ€œHow could the enemies have taken the countโ€™s banner? Nonsense!โ€

The elf king charged forward at the front. Just the thought of hearing what had happened made him excited.

๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ

โ€œ. . .Is that really true?!โ€

No matter how much the Elf King expected, he could not imagine the story about Knight Karamaf. As he saw the Seal Retriever, the Elf King blinked his eyes in disbelief.

โ€œTo think that Knight Karamaf had fallen before. . .โ€

โ€œIโ€™m sorry I couldnโ€™t tell you earlier.โ€

โ€œNo. You had no choice if it was an oath. Donโ€™t worry about it, Count. Still, to resurrect such a knight with magic.โ€

To be precise, it wasnโ€™t resurrecting a corpse with magic, but putting some unidentified creature into the armor and pretending it was Karamaf.

But Johan didnโ€™t bother pointing that out. The former seemed more wicked.

โ€˜๐˜ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฃ๐˜บ ๐˜ฎ๐˜บ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ง.โ€™

โ€œThis matter must be made known everywhere. No matter how heavy the noblesโ€™ bodies are, they will not sit still when they hear this!โ€

For once, the strategy proposed by the Elf King was plausible. Ulrike also nodded without objection. The story about Sir Karamaf would make a very good rumor.

No matter how much one might try to hide it, it couldnโ€™t be hidden with so many eyewitnesses.

โ€œLetโ€™s issue a recall order and command the troops to spread the word everywhere.โ€

โ€œIt would be good to ask the nearby feudal lords for cooperation as well.โ€

Thanks to the victory, the meeting ended briefly and simply. The nobles complimented each otherโ€™s feats and stood up from their seats.

After the Elf King walked away first, Johan whispered to Ulrike.

โ€œIt would be good to spread the rumor that the undead plague also broke out because of that magic.โ€

โ€œ. . .Our thoughts match. Very nice.โ€

Mixing a bit of falsehood into the truth makes it look more truthful. The two nobles did not hesitate to use such means at all.

๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ”ธ

โ€œTestify. Sir.โ€

โ€œ. . .I cannot do that.โ€

โ€œWhether or not you testify, many others saw it happen!โ€

โ€œIf that is the case, then I definitely cannot do it!โ€

The elven knight was wrestling with Lindemann. The centaurs were disappointed that they could take care of it in an instant, but they could not treat the Empire noble in that way.

โ€œYour Excellency. Please let go of the people and give me one hour, I will get this guyโ€™s testimony out along with his guts. . .โ€

โ€œDid you not just say guts? That cannot be done. Even if he is the opponent, if he is a noble, propriety must be observed.โ€

โ€œOh. . .โ€

As the chaos subsided and Lindemann came to his senses, he grasped the situation. Surprisingly, he did not abandon his loyalty to the emperor.

He knew that if he made a mistake he could be hanged, but a personโ€™s loyalty sometimes comes before their own life.

โ€œWhether or not I testify, there were many witnesses anyway so it does not matter. You can get testimony from others. The count also has people from his household who saw it happen.โ€

โ€œThat is quite unfortunate.โ€

In the meantime, the elven king approached in a good mood. Behind him was an elven knight who looked vaguely familiar.

โ€œCount! Good news. I have persuaded a knight from the Lochtein family. He said he will rightly come forward to testify.โ€

โ€œThat is good news. . .?โ€

Johanโ€™s eyes instantly met Yeinโ€™s. Yein raised his hand as if he was very happy to see him. At that moment, Johanโ€™s fist struck Yeinโ€™s face.

โ€œCount. He is my prisoner. . .?โ€

The elven king was taken aback and spoke in a rare flustered voice.
