Chapter 69 (2/2)

Suddenly the bell from the watchtower of Lord’s began to ring.

‘What is up?’

Butler Hans ran into them as the doors were widely opened to see what Luke was doing.

“Something huge has happened! Four Gigants have appeared in the North.”

“What?”

Luke was surprised.

He did anticipate the case where the enemy would bypass, and prepared for it. Deploy canons or gunpowder.

However, four Gigants had come in from the North.

“Did you check it?”

“The first one had a boar symbol drawn on the chest.”

“Dammit, that Monarch! What hell are they planning to do in the estate…?!”

Luke shouted, however, he didn’t have the time to get angry. The enemies Gigants were going to reach the lordship.

The only power Luke could currently use while being in the Manor was to deploy a few soldiers.

Rogers led most of the power to fight the battle of life and death on one side.

Anyway, as the situation reached such point, Hans and the other old knights of Volga gathered around.

“Young Lord, what do you think? Do we need to evacuate him first?”

There was a wall, but the power to fight the Gigant wasn’t there.

In order to reduce the damage to the people, it would be right to evacuate as Hans has said.

“After the evacuation, bring a few in. Strong and fast man.”

“Yea!”

At the instructions of Luke, Hans ran out.

After a while the watchtower began to ring a different sound, maybe it was the sound for the evacuation.

Luke looked at Todd.

“If you flee, you die.”

“I won’t run away.”

Even when bound by the mana oath, everyone thought about running away when they face a crisis.

“I need to believe them.”

When they came out, they saw the villages running to the wall with a pickaxe, kitchen knives, and stuff.

“What happened? Why haven’t they been evacuated?”

At the question from Luke, the soldiers next to him spoke,

“Huhu, we can barely eat and live, where else do we have to go?”

“So you want to die fighting with the Gigant?”

“A person dies once, not twice. Although the Rakan family had no power, you have cared for the poor like your family. When people starved, you starved with us, we work together and we live together.”

“…”

“It would be a sin to ignore the crisis upon the Rakan family which took care of us.”

It wasn’t sure if the old man spoke on part of the entire village, but Luke was impressed with them.

‘The Rakan family had been great.’

That was why the people were coming out bravely to defend their homes and protect them.

‘Is it really the Rakan family? That Rakan guy really thought his generations all that?’

Luke had thought that Rakan was just a dumb guy who ruined his revenge, but there was some similarity with him.

They both were hostile because of the different lives they had.

‘Oh my, Rakan. I will protect your people and your family. Using all my strength and knowledge!’

Definitely to defeat the Count’s Gigants!

When Luke set his mind, Hans brought in a black horse.

“Here you go, young Lord. But, what do you plan on doing…?”

Luke took over the horse and laughed.

“We need to draw the Count’s Gigants away. As far from the manor as possible.”

“Uh? What, what do you mean!”

Shocked Hans tried to stop, but Luke ran away with the horse before Hans could do anything.

As Luke approached the gates, the people who recognized him shouted,

“Wahh, young Lord!”

“Young Lord has come to protect us all!”

Luke spoke to them loudly,

“Open the gates??!”

The gates were opened by the people not knowing what was happening.

Kkkku!

As the massive gates opened, Luke went out.

He was able to see the dirt rising from the Gigants which were approaching.

“They have come till here. Now you will be the sacrifices for my people!”

Luke spoke fiercely to the Gigants.
