62 Episode 61: Royal Capital Raid (1/2)
The dazzling moon was hitting the spire of the Royal Castle, and the House of the Duke of Dragnaut was still full of excitement.
Healing Claudia has recovered-a phenomenal recovery that can be called a level that night.
The resurrection of the second daughter, who had long been lying down, was enough to delight the Duke, his sister Astrid, and those who served the Duke family.
The beneficiary, however, accomplished the miracle but fell down, leaving the duke uneasy. thing.
When this was heard, both Dr. Dragnaut and Astrid, and Claudia, who had recovered, struck down the chest.
Later, a small feast was held at the Duke's House.
Even though it was a feast, I just made the usual dinner a bit luxurious, I did not even use noises in consideration of the sleeping Sora, but it was still enough to raise the excitement because Claudia was a duke It would have been a testimony of being loved.
Drag Note, who is always known for being honest, strict and generous, and his daughter, Astrid, do not usually take a mouth, or even if they do, take a bite or two mouthfuls of wine and chew their cheeks. It was dyed red.
For the two who have been wearing their mind and body due to the curse that suddenly hit Claudia over the past year, today is a miracle that literally turned into a dream.
The situation is no different for servants and knights who report directly to the Duke.
The banquet held at the residence of the leading aristocrat of the Kingdom of Canary did not reach the neighbors and the streets over the walls and gates, but the joy that must have been the best of the royal city of the night.
At the end of the day, this day would have been remembered as one of the best days in the duke's history.
But, however.
It was just this night that the evil swallowing the royal city looked into his face.
◆◆◆
”I'll tell you too!”
The moment he heard the voice, Astrid's consciousness, which had been sitting on the chair in a tipsy manner, awoke instantly.
Already late at night, Claudia has taken over in her room. Astrid was thinking about going to sleep soon, but when he saw the soldier's face in front of him, that thought broke away.
The voice and expression filled with a sense of danger seem to have been assaulted from directly behind on the battlefield, and Astrid's face naturally tightened.
”What is it?”
Astrid stands out of her chair, uttering a calm voice.
Unfortunately, one of the soldiers who served as the gatekeeper tonight looked at the faces of those who ran.
He knew it because, during the feast, Astrid handed in the beef.
The face of the soldier, who had blushed with gratitude and inspiration after receiving the submission of the Duke's daughter himself, has now turned dark like that of the dead.
The soldier reports in a pant voice.
Yoshi: ”She is a raid! Undead monsters overflowing from the National Cemetery are attacking the houses in large numbers! It is likely that they will soon be here!”
”... Undead monster?”
Astrid frowns at the soldier's words. The bad news was predicted, but the content was unexpected.
Not only in the royal city of Horus, but also in the cemeteries of large towns, there is a temple barrier without exception.
Necromancy This is a measure to eliminate the turmoil.
Necromancers In particular, the barriers of the National Cemetery were built by the temple of the God of Law, mobilizing more than 100 priests and priests with their prestige. Breaking this would have required more than a hundred people.
A voice of another person flew from the side of Astrid who thought.
”Who did you see the undead?”
That was Pascal of Dragnaut. He seems to be an accustomed aristocrat, quickly getting drunk and asking soldiers for details.
”Hah! I heard from an old man who has fled from the cemetery and checked with my own eyes! There are already a great number of dead on the avenue!”
”The number of dead”
”It wasn't a hundred or two hundred. At least a thousand. If there were more than just a boulevard, the total number would probably be more than ten times!”
”Thank you for reporting, hurry back to the post and tell the soldiers to defend the gate. I will send you reinforcements immediately.”
”Understood!”
The saluted soldier jumps out in a dash.
By this time, all members of the Duke's mansion were drunk and awaited Duke's orders.
Dragnaut left the mansion with them and his daughter.
Anyway, I thought it was the first thing to check outside.
The moment he stepped out of his home, Dragnot realized that something was wrong.
Awate: The skin of Dr. Drag Note was dull.
Roshi Intense chills and a strange smell. Even though the season is already in the summer, cold air rises from your feet as if you have returned to the winter.
Astrid frowned and approached his father.
”Father, this is ...”
Necromancer ”It's a magical power that cools down, let's call it evil. And this death odor.
The face of Drag Note is so steep.
It's like playing with the dead. There is no doubt that it has a strange idea.
However, it is not an unusual partner to produce such a strong sign anyway. That conviction brought the duke's face toughness.
At that time, a call was made to call them from the direction of the mansion.
”Father, sister!”
”Crow !?”
Astrid raises a surprise voice.
As the words suggest, there was a figure of a younger sister who had been taken to the room.
Why his sister came here-Claudia's character makes it easy to predict.
Astrid reflexively opened his mouth.
