Defiled Hero Chapter 044

Defiled Hero

Attack On Castle

The capital of the continent is thriving

Numerous carriages ran on the wide thoroughfare, with an uninterrupted flow of human traffic. Tsuyuha pulled my hand as we wove through the crowd.

Before long, we came before a tall wall.

It's about five meters tall. Beyond this wall is the royal castle.

「...Aren't we going to meet Zenesys?」 (Izayoi)

「That's right. We'll climb over this wall to meet him.」 (Tsuyuha)

「Do disciples these days sneak into their master's places?」 (Izayoi)

「That's right. All of the disciples are doing it these days.」 (Tsuyuha)

「...Did you think it was impossible even for a moment?」 (Izayoi)

「No, not at all. Let's go already.」 (Tsuyuha)

I climbed the wall, protecting Fiere as she slept while clinging on to my back, invading the castle.

A private garden. Zenesys certainly trains here every day.

A long time ago, I swung my sword here as well.

「Over here.」 (Tsuyuha)

We slipped into the castle through an unlocked door. Following Tsuyuha's lead, we walked down a large hallway.

「You're a familiar face. Do you have a permit?」 (Guard)

Having been seen by the guard, he called out.

What do we do now?

「Permit? I don't have anything like that!」 (Tsuyuha)

「Walking grandly through the castle without a permit, and getting angry at me!? Intruders! Two armed intruders!」 (Guard)

The soldier called in a large voice to the other soldiers.

「I'm not an intruder!」 (Tsuyuha)

As Tsuyuha said that, she pulled out her sword and knocked down the soldier.

「I see. So disciples these days a.s.sault the castle. Sounds good. Let me help you destroy this country's knights.」 (Izayoi)

「Only the elite of the King-cla.s.s are allowed to become knights, the standard adventurer can't win. You've got a small girl on your back too, so behave yourself. I'll protect you!」 (Tsuyuha)

「I see. How unfortunate. I wanted to crush the knights too, but I'll leave it to you.」 (Izayoi)

「You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Crus.h.i.+ng the knights would be treason! That's being nothing but a terrorist!」 (Guard)

「I said I'm not a terrorist or an intruder!」 (Tsuyuha)

As she said that, Tsuyuha took down all of the gathered knights.

The knights are the best of those of King rank. However, those of Emperor rank have unnatural strength. Regardless of how many people of King rank you gather, it's pointless.

Someone of Emperor rank can easily destroy a country.

It's no contest if they're only of King rank.

「Hey, they're coming over here.」 (Izayoi)

「I know.」 (Tsuyuha)

In an instant, the knights were annihilated. The corridor was filled with fallen knights.

「Sheesh. How rude. They were so uncivilized. I was born the daughter of a family of n.o.bles.」 (Tsuyuha)

「You were brought up well.」 (Izayoi)

She justified herself and took out the knights with misplaced anger. Her reasonable upbringing led to some impossible things. Wonderful.
