I Became a Lord in t Chapter 115 : Chapter 115

Chapter : 115

-Kwajijik!

-Kwak!

I charged relentlessly.

The difference in skill was too great for re undead to block . The undead collapsed in an instant before my sword, which swung with swish and swoosh sounds without any particular technique.

And the elf knights were indeed seasoned.

"Let's back up His Excellency-!"

"We must follow closely. Giddyap!"

They were showing without a doubt why they were combat machines on horseback.

Having pierced through the undead swarm, they imdiately turned around and stuck close to my side.

It was to add to the power of the cavalry charge.

-Kwadudeuk!

-Kwajiikkeun!

-Kueaaaa!

-Kikikikeukeukeuk!

Thanks to that, the group of a thousand undead was being chopped into pieces, swept away by the cavalry charge.

Of course, it wasn't without danger.

"Kerureuk. Kereuk."

"Kekekek!"

There were packs of kobolds among the undead!

If fought head-on, they were nothing much, but this was the middle of a battlefield filled with undead.

The kobolds were cunningly shooting poison darts and throwing nets from among them.

-Pyusyuk!

-Pyusyusyusyuk!

"Keuheok-! Keuk."

Thanks to that, several elf knights tumbled to the ground. The poison darts were all blocked by armor, but the problem was the nets. The countless nets thrown by the kobolds tangled together and brought down the horses.

"Damn it-!"

Seeing that, I quickly turned my horse around. Subjugation was subjugation, but not losing anything was also important.

‘How much money have I fed these guys-!’

Thinking that these clumsy elf knights were really not earning their keep, I jumped into the kobold pack.

"Protect the fallen comrades! That is more important than re rit-!"

"Y-Your Excellency!"

The elf knights, having no way of knowing my inner thoughts, looked at

with deeply moved expressions.

A lord who personally steps forward to help allies in danger-!

It was truly a story worthy of appearing in a chivalric novel.

"Wake up! This is a battlefield."

Of course, for

watching that scene, I was fuming inside.

"Ah! I apologize. Your Excellency."

Still, the elf knights weren't completely hopeless; they got up imdiately and stuck to my side. Even without horses to ride, knights were knights. Together, we excitedly drove back the kobolds.

-Kekekeng keng!

-Kereureuk!

Thanks to that, the kobold pack started to flee without being able to exert any significant force. It was fortunate there were no major casualties.

However.

-Wooooong!

The mystery of blessing received from the Goddess of Destiny began to fluctuate.

"Hmm...?"

Having handled mystery several tis recently, I could instinctively know what this feeling was.

Sothing.... There is sothing dangerous.

"Cha-at."

I imdiately climbed onto my horse and looked high over the battlefield.

Then, among that group of undead, a being emitting an intense dark mystery was walking towards us.

-Kuhu.... Mortal....

Sothing I had t once before.

It was.

"It-It's a Death Knight!"

"Sprinkle the holy water again! Knight Order to the front-! We must protect the Margrave, Your Excellency."

-Kwagagagagang!

It was a 'Death Knight'.

* * *

Then or now, a Death Knight was not an existence easily seen.

A truly evil existence worthy of appearing in stale old books or hero tales.

Especially if one was a mage handling mystery, they knew how powerful that 'Death Knight' was. It would destroy ordinary mystery with evil magic power, and was even immune to most physical force.

Truly a tricky existence to deal with.

Therefore, there was a reason for Azuela's fuss.

"Kyaaaaaak-! Agpiel, no, Great Sage!"

Azuela hurriedly called Magician Agpiel. Agpiel, who was busy handling mystery as a war mage, frowned at that frivolous call.

"Why do you call?"

"A-A Death Knight has appeared."

"Hmm? A Death Knight?"

"Yes! Great Sage."

Agpiel turned his head and scanned the battlefield. Indeed, just as Azuela said, a 'Death Knight' emitting intense dark mystery was visible.

"Hmm, I see."

"?"

However, contrary to Azuela's thought, Great Sage Agpiel's reaction was too calm. Azuela blinked her eyes, wondering for a mont if she had seen wrong, but nothing changed.

Great Sage Agpiel was wearing a very peaceful expression.

"N-No, shouldn't we go help right now?"

"Who? Surely you an the Margrave?"

"No, this is frustrating to death. Then who else would it be? right now, the Margrave is about to fight the Death Knight."

He was too calm, excessively so.

Surely, did this human called a Great Sage not know what a Death Knight was?

Whether he knew of such suspicious glances or not, Great Sage Agpiel rather shook his head with a calm expression.

"You don't need to worry about the Margrave. Because he has already experienced it once. Rather, it is right to help those fighting the undead right now."

"What did you say?"

At those words, Azuela was dumbfounded.

If he had fought once, shouldn't he naturally be stopped even more?

What if the Margrave got in danger and her neck ended up on the line imdiately? With the excuse that mages didn't give proper help.

"It's a Death Knight. A Death Knight! Evil mystery and grudges accumulate for 100 years...."

But at that mont.

-Kwang-!

A dull sound of trendous force was heard.

It was so powerful that Azuela flinched unknowingly.

But she had to say what she had to say.

"...a very powerful existence is born. Without mystery, absolutely...."

-Buaaaaaaaang!

-Kwaaang! Kwang!

Once again, along with a terrifying sound tearing the air, a sound of sothing bursting was heard.

"???"

Startled, Azuela turned her head to the scene of that roar.

Far away, far away, the young Margrave and the Death Knight in front of him were visible.

No.

Sothing that 'was' a Death Knight was visible.

-Kwadudududeuk!

-Paseuseuseuseu!

Absurdly, the Death Knight had beco black smoke and disappeared.

"??????????"

Seeing that, Azuela’s jaw dropped open.

Is this.... real?

Then Agpiel, who was watching such Azuela, smirked and asked back.

"Ah right, what about the mystery?"

He felt like he knew why the young Margrave had asked him mischievously last ti.

* * *

"Oh, God...."

A miracle(?) right before one's eyes had the power to make even those who didn't fervently believe in God seek Him humbly.

The elf knights were all seeking God with their mouths open.

What just happened was of a nature difficult to believe even after seeing it clearly with two eyes.

This was no different for the Knight Order.

No.

"A-A miracle has manifested!"

"God is watching over us!"

"Ohhhhh! Praise Him!"

It was rather more serious.

They fell into the madness of faith in an instant. They were praising God while even shedding tears.

‘No, what are they doing?’

Of course, I looked at that absurdly.

What miracle.

But there was nothing bad about it. Falling into the madness of faith, the already high morale skyrocketed to the ends of the sky.

"Charge!"

"Let's gift eternal rest to these wicked dead!"

"Kkiyoooooooht!"

"We can't lose either. Run!"

Thanks to that, the elf knights and the Knight Order people squeezed out even the strength they didn't have and began to subjugate the undead rapidly. Then the collapse of the undead was instantaneous.

The battle was virtually over.

* * *

"O-Oh my god! It is a trendous victory! Your Excellency."

"eeeeeeh! Praise! It is a battle where the Lord's miracle manifested. hr."

"Oh! To think I am in such an honorable battle. I did really well to follow you! I will serve you for life. Your Excellency!"

As the round of battle ended, everyone cheered with faces flushed red.

It was because the battle just now was fierce and trendous.

To defeat over 1,000 enemies with a number of rely about 200. Even if they were undead with rotting flesh, it was a trendous achievent.

Moreover, they had even executed the mythical monster, the Death Knight, known to be terrifying. This was truly a trendous event worthy of being passed down as a hero's tale for generations.

"Enough, enough, calm down."

Of course, I wasn't that happy and was indifferent.

Because such a battle with nothing left over wasn't very attractive. My reputation didn't go up further with just this level of battle either.

Besides, all that was left for

now was extre fatigue accumulated from dealing with the Death Knight and the filthy, slly blood of the rotten undead. I wanted to wash my body and rest right away.

"What about the undead? Are there any remaining?"

I asked while wiping my face with a towel given by a servant. Then the elf knight who had chased the undead on horseback until the end spoke.

"We dealt with all the undead that rushed at us, and the remaining ones all fled into the forest. Your Excellency."

"Damn."

At those words, I smacked my lips. It would have been nice to deal with them all at once while we were fighting, but to think the remnants fled.

Besides, of all places, it was the forest.

"Hmm, it would be unreasonable to follow."

"Still, we are fresh. Your Excellency. Just give the order and we will...!"

"No. It is too dark now. If we chase them in, the damage will be great. Besides, isn't night the ti when the power of the undead becos stronger? If you have strength left for that, take care of the injured."

I cut off the words of the elf knight who still hadn't escaped the heat of war.

The risk burden was too high to chase them all the way into the forest like this.

"Oh, as expected...!"

Hearing those words from the side, Commander Barman admired with emotion.

Most nobles, like that elf knight, would move recklessly like daredevils to gain rit.

But to know restraint without coveting rit-! Moreover, even the thoughtfulness to take care of the wounded. He was truly a noble who served as an example.

"Y-Your Excellency. Are you hurt anywhere by chance?"

Azuela, who approached my side, asked with a vacant expression, just as Magician Agpiel had done before.

"Hmm? Do you want

to be hurt?"

"N-No. Not that I want you to be hurt.... Just, just wondering if you really aren't hurt anywhere. Your body is fine, right?"

What on earth does she an now.

"I'm a little tired, but I'm fine without any injuries. Why?"

"Uh.... It's nothing. Just.... Just.... Eei! C-Congratulations on your victory. Your Excellency."

"???"

Then Azuela staggered and walked to the back. It felt like all the mystery she knew was being denied. Azuela.

"Why is that half-wit mage acting like that all of a sudden?"

Of course, having no way of knowing such thoughts, I tilted my head and asked Magician Agpiel who followed next to .

"Haha. Well, must be she experienced sothing full of the Holy Spirit like I did. Following you around is good because I can learn that the mystery I know isn't everything."

"......."

Sohow it feels like a situation I've experienced once before.... As I looked with a suspicious gaze, Magician Agpiel was only laughing heartily.

At that mont, a rider approached on a single horse from afar.

"Are you the people who ca down from the Prince-Bishopric of Cologne?"

"......? Who are you guys."

"I-I ca from Budenbern. Please allow us to serve you in our village! We will treat you grandly."

Budenbern, which had been watching the fight from atop the wooden fence, had sent a person as the war concluded.
