Episode 51.12 (1/2)
”Geitglein. All the leading parties who spearheaded the revolt, every single one of them, have testified that they are following your orders. You may make your case against their allegations.”
Townlord of Yufu, Parkuglein Shadrest's voice resounded in the spacious <Celestial Chamber>.
Parkuglein's face was stern as he watched the kneeling Geitglein from his three-step tall throne.
Lecan himself is standing by next to Duo Bahn, watching the proceeding nonchalantly.
It's spacious.
And luxurious.
It has a dignified appearance to it, with a sense of rich historical value.
As the audience chamber Lecan got in the Royal Palace was an informal one, he had no frame of reference, but he's got a feeling that even the real one in the Royal Palace can't be compared to this <Celestial Chamber> in term of extravagance.
It's a place where all officials and military personnel congregate. Though among the three viscounts, Viscount Waido has died and his heir locked up. The young heir to House of Viscount Bono is also locked up. So only members of House of Viscount Ruka, Saljirein and his heir Nodlein are present here. Additionally, all members of Peacekeeping Knights have been locked up too. Many personnel of Dungeon Knights and civil officials are in charge of keeping watch on them out there. Hence, there should be much fewer people than the full capacity now. And yet, the sheer number of individuals present is overwhelming still.
After exiting the dungeon back then, Lecan lost himself in a fit of rage when he saw the white smoke rising from Northern Tower where Rubianafale was. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Compelled by the wrath, he did something as unreasonable as flying down Mt. Yufu hillside all the way to Yufonia. Thanks to that his <Overking Bear Overcoat> got torn to pieces. It's presently stored away in his <Storage>, probably unusable for the time being. Or maybe even forever.
He managed to survive the impact from crashing down the ground somehow by casting anti-physical barrier, but his whole body suffered some serious damage and he only hung by after taking two Large Red Potions and Stamina Restorative.
Afterward, he went and cut down all the knights who stood in his path as he made his way to the Northern Tower and confirmed Rubianafale's group survival with <3D Perceptions>.
He drove away the knights and climbed down the second floor.
The room had collapsed. Many were injured but thanks to Rubianafale being a
user, there was no casualty. Lecan gave some self-made Mana Restoratives to Rubianafale.
The group perked up once they found out the Dungeon Knights were heading their way.
Lecan had a meal with them and went up the fifth floor to stay on the lookout.

He drove away some folk trying to creep up at midnight with <Flame Spears>.
Early in the morning after breakfast, Dungeon Knights had already arrived at Yufonia. They left behind the Might Unit and had only the knights march the entire night.
Dungeon Knights swiftly moved on to free the townlord and arrested the ringleaders responsible for the revolt.
The result of interrogating the prominent members made it clear that Geitglein Shadrest was the mastermind behind this rebellion.
As such, Geitglein and his son, Wolglein would make their excuse in the sacred <Celestial Chamber> before the presences of all officials.
Geitglein and Wolglein have precarious standings at this point.
Peacekeeping Knights commander, Erantesta Waido stated that he followed Geitglein's orders. The nobles and influential individuals who participated or supported the revolt also testified that the whole thing was led by the Southern House. However, the one leading them on-site, Viscount Dantesta Waido is dead, and there's no one who can testify just in what forms did Geitglein directly take part in the revolt.
Are Geitglein and Wolglein really the mastermind behind everything. Or are they just decoys.
