Chapter 255 - Path of a King (3) (1/2)
I a (3)
<hr>
Sunlight dazzlingly fell down
The season raced towards the fall’s end
A sweat and cool wind gently waved and blew from the north
Ppababababa song loudly echoed
A perfor
The twenty thousand strong Lancephil Fief Regiether with the performance
The path taken towards the capital, Miller
“Waaaaah!”
“Lancephil! Lancephil!”
“Roan! Roan!”
Everywhere they went, the cheers and shouts of the kingdom’s citizens poured down
Roan purposefully did not hurry
He, for the kingdoave out foods andhohest respect
Due to that, not only the Lancephil Fief Regidoratitude to the Count Lancephil House and came to follow them with their hearts
[Woah! I can see the capital, Miller, far away! Roan You see it too, right?]
Kinis as flying above his head pointed towards the south and shouted
Roan slowly nodded his head
Thanks to the Kalian’s Tears, the capital, Miller, that was still far aas clearly seen as if it was before his nose
‘So the castle gate is closed……’
A bitter s on his mouth
He slowly turned his head and looked at the twenty thousand strong Lancephil Fief Regi his back
‘Everyone has decided to walk together withthe Sedes Castle, suiment
It was to reveal his intent that only the Count Lancephil House’s retainers including Austin knew of
In truth, Roan had greatly worried
He didn’t know if the nobles and soldiers who had supported hier at his betrayal
But
‘When I revealed that I would become a monarch……’
The reaction was ecstatic
Everyone shouted and cheered
nobles and ordinary commoners both, their status did not differ
Everyone thought the same
<Our monarch is only Sir Roan Lancephil!>
Ablaze shouts heated Roan’s heart
Of course, there also were those who did not concur with Roan’s intent
To theo wherever they wish
In that process, few nobles and soldiers even changed their hearts and supported Roan
In the end, the number of those who left his side did not quite reach five hundred
‘At the very least for them, also at least for those who have died for me, and also at least for those who do not support ood monarch’
Roan deeply breathed in
A ed class but a oal and a dreahts, the march continued on
Already, the capital, Miller, was before their noses
Vvuuuuuu!
Together with a sound of the horn, the Lancephil Fief Regin!”
At the thousand-her-ranked commanders’ shout, the soldiers filed in and neatly lined up
An appearance of having ular forate
Roan stared at the tightly closed castle gate and waved his right hand
Austin, as nearby, shouted in a loud voice as if he had been waiting
“Raise the flags!”
“Yes sir!”
With a resounding answer, the soldiers holding the flags stepped forwards in front of the fief regis iround
<Count Lancephil House>
<Lancephil Fief Regiion>
<Amaranth Troop>
<Is toweringly stood and showed off their splendor
Roan stood below the flags and stared at the north gate’s tower
‘Duke Francis Wilson’
His eyes flashed and shone a light
Within the tower, distinguished nobles including Duke Francis Wilson were standing in place
“It isar”
“It is the powerful force that has defeated Prince Sidodododom, sir”
“Probably, it currently should be the strongest army in the continent’s east with the Grain Mountains as the line”
The nobles clicked their tongues and shook their heads
At that moment, Baron Valent Neike searched the nearby eyes and cautiously spoke up
“Even so, just the nuathered here is tens of people, sir Could we not overwhelether each’s fief regiments and forcibly conscript the fief’s citizens?”
Baron Victor Beuriting as near nodded his head with an expression saying it had a point
At those words, the faces of numerous nobles split into two sides
One side were slightly elated expressions, and the other side were coon
Of course, the completely terrified expressions were the majority
Baron Banel Tendler, as one of that majority, sharply shook his body and spoke as if to whisper
“D, don’t say so, sir We can’t beat Count Roan Lancephil even if we died and woke up again Moreover……”
He turned his head and looked at the castle’s rampart outside the tower
“The capital, Miller, here too is already within Count Lancephil’s hands”
At those words, Valent and Victor followed Banel’s gaze and looked outside of the tower
The Capital City Guard wearing sturdy ar criuard troop Roan had left as he dodohtly tense expressions
“I, if they already control the castle, why aren’t they opening the castle gate, sir?”
“That is……”
The moment Banel tried to answer, a low voice was heard froate on our own……”
The owner of the voice was Duke Francis Wilson
Gulp
All nobles dryly sed
Their breaths stuck
Even though the capital city guard did no threatening at all, their bodies and hearts instinctively shrunk back
“Does that ate and lower our heads at Count Roan Lancephil in the end?”
“Kuuk It would all have been solved if Princess Katy had succeeded the throne, but……”
“To think we have to hand the kingdom to a bottom rank spearo……”
Complaints poured out froh
“Huu It is not as if there absolutely is no way”
He planned to attele to the end
“It is not as if the kingdo even athered here have objections to hi to the throne Even for Count Lancephil’s position, this isn’t a situation that could be laughed over Since the Rinse Kingdo the horrid and gruesoain if not careful”
Even for Roan who now had just entered into post-war cleanup, this wasn’t a very welcome development
“T, then how……?”
Valent stuttered his words and asked
Francis inal Lancephil County, I plan to give even the northwest’s Webster Duchy and appoint Roan Lancephil to the grand dukedorand dukedorand dukedoled their eyes and dorand dukedo below the flags
“If Count Lancephil is a nore such offe……”
The moment his words reached about that point
Vvuuuuuu!
Abruptly a sound of a horn echoed
‘Perhaps an attack?!’
Francis and the nuiment with shocked expressions
However, the Lancephil Fief Regi Roan did not even tremble as they neatly lined up
Evenheard from there
Towards the place the sound of a horn was heard froazes moved over
“Ah……”
A quiet exclamation flowed out from Francis’s ion flag before it appeared
One of the nobles shouted in a loud voice
“I, it’s the Eastern Regional Corps! It’s Baron Aaron Tate!”
Everyone’s faces stiffly hardened
By Aaron Tate, he was the eh”
Uncoroans flowed out from everywhere
However, the situation sadly did not end with just that
Du s before it, another army showed up
“This time it’s Viscount Russel Carpenter, sirs!”
Russel Carpenter was the supreional Corps
A typical neutral faction, even during the throne succession war, he only focused on his own duty and did not support anyone a to as known until now, he also had no particular relationshi+p with Roan
Francis and the nuazes ional Corps were to join our side……’
The hts reached about that point, the Northern Regional Corps that had boldly ht
“Ah……”
“No……”
Nuhs
On the wide plain spread before the north gate, the Lancephil Fief Regiional Corps took formation
That presence was truly incredible
However, the appearance of the Eastern Regional Corps and the Northern Regional Corps was not the end but a beginning
Vvuuuuuu! Vvuuuuuu!
The sound of horn was continuously heard
“It is Baron Collins!”
“It’s Baron Streiner!”
“Even the Southern Regional Corps has joined!”
“It’s the West’ champion Viscount Gleason Wulf!”
“M, Marquis Kukker too has joined the Lancephil camp, sirs!”
It was an incredible scene
Before the sun that rose from the east lean towards the west, countless nobles led their ariment
The Miller Castle had now becoate and the west gate, and even the south gate and every direction was enclosed by an incredible arether with the Milta Military Band’s perfor crimson armor raced sideways in front of the castle wall
They did not throeapons nor shoot arrows
They ed horses and ran and ran in front of the castle wall as if taking a stroll
“Ah……”
Francis felt strength leaving his legs
‘Just when has the situation, like this……’
He couldn’t believe it
Francis thought too lightly of the world
While he hid within the castle and guarded the royal fadom outside the world
While Roan put his life on line and fought, the people of the world wondered and admired his abilities and character
Persuasion wasn’t especially needed
