31 – As planned…

-Clap!

The interrogation room door opened with a sharp sound.

At the same time, the soldiers guarding the entrance immediately straightened their weapons and blocked the way.

“…What are you doing now?”

“Excuse me. However, there was an order to strictly forbid taking a sinner out.”

Soldiers speaking with warning while watching Amelda standing behind.

To this, Brutus spoke in one voice as if he was dumbfounded.

“I am the interrogator who has been tasked with investigating the criminal? What’s wrong with me saying I’m going to take a sinner with me?”

“It was an order from above. Please refrain from actions that may cause unnecessary trouble.”

“I was even given permission to use coercive means if necessary. You can never do anything to take a sinner out.”

“Coercive?”

As if offended by the soldier’s words, Brutus let out a cold voice.

At the same time, signs of unusual power began to wriggle in his body for a moment.

As a bishop who has educated the Holy Knights, Brutus has formidable fighting power.

His spirit mixed with this warning automatically gave the soldiers a chilling feeling.

However, despite Brutus’ actions, the soldiers who received the order spoke with a firm voice.

“We are just following orders.”

“Even if you are an interrogator, rules are rules. Please don’t make a fuss!”

Soldiers who show an attitude that will not back down even an inch.

Seeing them like this…

Brutus was silent for a moment.

Soon after, he let out a small sigh and began to let go of his threatening presence.

“Ha ha.. ok. Then you can’t.”

After that, Brutus left Amelda in the room and went forward alone.

Accordingly, the soldiers tried to close the door of the interrogation room as soon as they took up their weapons.

By the way..

“Ouch!”

“Kuk!”

The next moment, the soldiers suddenly felt a sense of being suffocated and began to sit down on the floor.

In the midst of the sudden pain, the soldiers tried to make a sound to inform the situation.

However, the pressure on their necks, making breathing difficult, made it impossible for them to even make a sound.

After a while, the soldiers finally passed out while biting into bubbles.

Right after that, Amelda dragged the body of one of them into the room and shut the door behind her.

and after a while

“Is it over?”

“yes. All changed.”

Amelda responds to Brutus’ question by using her helmet for the last time.

At this moment, she was wearing the armor of a soldier who had been guarding the entrance to the interrogation room before, not the usual paladin outfit she wore.

Immediately after completing preparations for escape, Brutus and Amelda threw the soldiers into the room and locked the door firmly.

As soon as they find out that this side drew their sword first, they will use this as an excuse to attack them like punishment.

Even though it was a very weak stopgap, they had to buy time as much as possible by doing this.

“Okay then let’s go. I’m wearing a disguise, but you never know when you’ll get caught, so hurry up.”

“Yes, Master.”

With those words, Amelda hurries out of the prison cell.

And right after they disappear.

The one who was hiding in the dark and watching this quietly began to act.

achilles decliment

One of the 3 generals of the Falcon Empire and the person in charge of the defense here.

At this moment, he began to show a cold smile on his lips as he received the report that had just come up to him.

“okay… You mean that elven bishop did that?”

“Yes, it is, sir. Attacking my soldiers guarding the prison for no reason. We are stealing their armor and stealing criminals.”

“Oh my gosh… no matter how much it’s an alliance, to commit such a thing in the middle of the empire. That Bishop Brutus did something reckless.”

Achilles looks quite amused while talking

Literally, as he watched his thoughts of ‘as planned’ at a glance, the general managers present also began to respond with cold smiles on their lips.

“Doesn’t this mean that the elves have something to do with the warrior party?”

“I think so too. Otherwise, there would be no way he would have committed such a reckless act in the middle of this empire.”

“Please give me your order right now. The warden will go and capture those filthy elves.”

In the first place, it was the Falcon Empire who posed the threat first, but in any case, it was the elven bishop and the paladin who exercised actual force in response.

As for the law of not knowing, even if the opponent threatened with a knife, the person who knocked the opponent down first could be turned into a bad guy.

In this case as well, regardless of the post-war background, punishing the elves who drew their swords first could be treated as a very natural and just thing legally and diplomatically.

Just like that, right after confirming that the ‘legitimate cause’ was secured.

Achilles immediately ordered his men who were waiting for everything to be ready.

“Go out immediately. Arrest all the elves who betrayed the alliance!”

“Your general!”

*

“Kuh… ”

“Uh.. how.. how long has it been since we came out like that..”

Immediately after exiting the prison ward, the troops in front of you.

The moment they saw the soldiers completely surrounding the road they were trying to pass through,

Brutus couldn’t help but frown at the fact that what he feared had happened.

In fact, Brutus already knew that given the general atmosphere, there was a high possibility that things would go this way.

However, from Brutus’ point of view, it was very clear that Amelda and himself would be buried in the false testimony of the other warrior party members if they remained silent.

In the end, Brutus made an unavoidable choice in a dead end.

But..

But it was by no means that he took such a reckless gamble.

“Amelda. You now escape through the eastern gate. With that outfit, you should be able to escape by being among the soldiers.”

“yes? Ha.. But what about Master?”

“Don’t worry about me, no matter what, I’m in this country representing the elven kingdom. It would not be easy for them to carelessly touch guests from other countries.”

“Master..sir..”

With those words, Brutus smiled lightly while looking at Amelda.

Seeing his expression for the first time since she was born, Amelda was able to intuit something in an instant.

However, Amelda couldn’t bear to go into more detail about this.

It was because at this moment, while doing this, he realized what his master wanted from him.

“If we meet again in the Gyokguk, I will buy you a meal. So make sure you get out safely.”

“… .egg… I guess… It is.”

“Okay, go.”

So, Amelda bows her head at the teacher’s last word and starts running in the opposite direction.

After watching the last appearance of such a disciple, Brutus hardened his expression again and turned his head.

‘I must return alive… The fate of the kingdom… the fate of our species is up to you.’

With that thought in mind, Brutus began to slowly appear in front of the soldiers.

and..

The moment I found him like this,

The soldiers immediately drew their weapons and began to approach us.

In the first place, the soldiers who are guests from other countries clearly show their intention to take a hard line regardless of what they are.

In response, Brutus, as if he knew it, gathered his magic power and created as much disturbance as possible so that his disciple could escape easily.

He began preparing to cause a disturbance at the cost of his life.

“For the sake of the kingdom..”

*

Right after parting with her teacher with tears in her eyes, Amelda moved to escape as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, thanks to the teacher causing a commotion, those pursuing them were invisible.

Yes, but the main passages were still blocked by soldiers, and a wrong approach risked immediate detection.

At least she was wearing the armor of the imperial soldiers, but if she proceeded with the inspection, she would be discovered.

‘I can’t do it.. Wait moderately, bury it in the moving unit, and then escape. All I have to do is get out of this castle and go straight into the forest.’

He could have escaped the checkpoint if he hid among the soldiers who were still roaming around.

In addition, it is quite difficult for a human to catch an elf escaping through the forest.

At that time, when Amelda was devising an escape route in her own way,

In her eyes, she began to see a group of soldiers passing by.

‘Good. If I just get stuck in between them…’

Thinking of that, Amelda hides behind a pillar and secretly joins the ranks of the soldiers.

Since they were wearing the same armor anyway, she was convinced that it would not be obvious if she didn’t look carefully.

By the way..

-puck!

“!!… ”

The next moment, a sudden, intense pain and the sensation of being paralyzed by the poison.

The blow, which came completely unexpectedly and in a way that she couldn’t even feel, threw Amelda to the ground as if collapsing.

‘What… a blow that I can’t even detect? That… that’s not to say…’

In other words, the person who struck this blow was one of the most powerful people in the empire.

However, apart from these thoughts, Amelda collapsed on the floor in vain, unable to even lift a finger.

“It’s the guy wearing the marked armor!”

“Hurry up and call the general. I caught the elf girl who tried to escape!”

Right after that, soldiers start to surround her as it is.

Between them, Amelda felt deep despair and began to feel her consciousness slowly fade away.

‘ah… no… not… okay… ‘
