The Sword Master Reinhardt, who is known as the 'strongest on earth', is indeed well-deserved. Although when he faced off against a troubled little girl, he was defeated miserably at an absolute disadvantage in both force and spell attacks. However, when it comes to fighting against those miscellaneous fish from the Witch Cult and even ordinary Sin Archbishops, he can still do it with ease.
Otherwise, the former Sin Priest, the "evil eater" in gluttony, that troublesome guy who is said to be able to devour the opponent's memory and name, gain the opponent's abilities, and share the damage, would not have been given a few blows by him. It was easily killed.
To be honest, after easily killing the Gluttony Priest Roy Alfalud, Reinhardt finally regained a little confidence and no longer doubted his own strength.
So far, the North Gate area has been basically controlled by him.
He was planning to clear out the enemies in the tower and occupy this place. As long as there was no such difficult Sin Archbishop here, there shouldn't be much suspense in the battle.
However, there are still many members of the Witch Cult in the northeastern city area they are responsible for. Reinhardt himself does not know where they came from, so that the area they just cleaned up is now in chaos. Became a ball.
Looking back from here, he saw only fires and shouts of killing everywhere. Although he wanted to go back and clean it up again, he looked at the North Gate Tower in front of him and saw that he was being protected not far away. With Felute still in his arms, he finally had to sigh secretly.
"Are you guys ready?"
"Cheer up, everyone!"
"No matter what, there is nothing wrong with controlling the Minato Tower first!"
"let's start!"
"I'll be on standby outside. If you find an enemy you can't deal with, call me immediately!"
"action!"
As he said that, he took another look at the teams composed of knights and mercenaries. With a wave of Lenharut's hand, the troops who had been on standby for a long time started shouting towards the North Gate Tower Hall where corpses were everywhere. Rushed in.
Their morale is very high. After all, the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult has been killed by Sword Master Reinhardt, and the remaining ordinary Witch Cult believers in the tower will naturally not be too lethargic by them. In the heart.
"Reinhardt!"
"How's it going? Is there no problem?"
At this time, his face was a bit unsightly. When he first came here, he was careless and almost didn't get eaten by the "evil food" in the gluttony. Felut finally regained his composure and forced himself He walked up to Reinhardt and asked.
"certainly!"
"There should be nothing else going on here."
"However, this battle is still a bit too hasty..."
"look!"
"On our way here, that city fell again..."
"If we had been given more time to mobilize enough manpower, the current situation would not have become like this."
Thinking of the other groups of people and the candidates for the throne who all moved relatively smoothly, but that he had been in such a mess along the way, Reinhardt couldn't help but feel a little more swollen and bruised on his handsome face. A look of sanity and loneliness.
He has never beaten anyone alone (|?˙?˙)Eh? ), but now it's good. Even in marching, arranging and commanding the troops for battle, he is still slightly inferior to those candidates for the throne, which makes him not know where to put his face.
"..."
Looking at the northeastern city with smoke and fire in the distance, and then looking at other relatively peaceful cities, Felut couldn't help but clenched his fists with some annoyance, shame and self-blame.
"That can't be helped."
"Reinhardt, we must take down this tower first, and the rest of the city... can only be left to the reinforcements."
"Only in that way can the worst result be avoided!"
"Do not worry……"
"Didn't Lord Cursio just say that?"
"They have completed their mission. Now they have assigned the 'Sword Demon', that is, Wilhelm of your Sword Master family, to bring people to support us. If they come to help, the unrest in the city will definitely be solved. It was quickly eliminated.”
Felt has long heard of the Witch Cult, and also knows the rumors that they often use any means to achieve their goals, and will wantonly take the lives of innocent people and cause a large number of casualties.
She didn't believe it all at first, and she once thought that it might have been deliberately propagated by the kingdom's nobles and senior officials in order to mislead the people?
But now, after seeing the chaos in the watergate city of Priestela, seeing the citizens who died tragically, and seeing the actions of those villains who burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes, she finally had to believe it, and she finally knew why. The 'Witch Cult' has always been considered by people to be the most evil symbol.
"It will indeed be like that. He will definitely have no problem dealing with those guys!"
"but……"
"Felt, if that happens, we'll probably lose out to others..."
With a wry smile, Reinhardt turned his head and looked at the little girl with blond hair and red eyes who was injured but still stubbornly refused to sit down and rest.
"If you lose, just lose!"
"Anyway, I didn't want to choose from the beginning. Didn't you force me to do it?"
"Just do it!"
"If Felt loses but more people can survive, then I would rather quit that boring king's election now!"
"I never thought I would be chosen..."
Many people had already known that Felt was forced to participate in the king's election, and she really had no chance of winning. Therefore, she was single at this time. After sighing in frustration, she said with a He gave Reinhardt a big smile.
"look!"
"They're coming!"
"Very good!"
"Now the citizens are saved..."
Soon, Felute swept away his previous frustration and cheered directly.
Because she saw, in the distance, a group of people, like dragons descending from the mountain, sweeping across the Witch Cult members who were wreaking havoc on the streets, and the leader was not the familiar Wilhelm Van As. Who is Mr. Treya?
"yes……"
"It's just that, Felt, you could have become a qualified queen!"
"Pity……"
Looking at Felt's relaxed expression and thinking about what the other person just said, Reinhardt couldn't help but sigh.
Felt was found by Reinhardt himself in the slums. He still remembered that at that time, she was limping down the street holding her buttocks, and then, he suddenly knelt down in front of her. The practice was so startled that he couldn't stand firmly and sat on the ground. Then, he jumped up at a faster speed?
At that time, he didn't know why, and he was really frightened by her sudden behavior.
As for this candidate for the throne who was born in the slums, he and his like-minded young people have always been very supportive of this little girl, because they know that only those who come from the lowest level of the kingdom and understand the sufferings of the people Only then can Felut represent the interests of the people at the bottom, who make up the majority, and only then can he innovate, save and change this declining and decadent kingdom, and reverse the current situation of Lugnica that has been suffering for more than four hundred years in one fell swoop!
Moreover, he also found out at the same time that Felt's true identity was probably the daughter of the late king's younger brother, Lord Froud, who was kidnapped in the past!
In this way, Felt has the blood of the Lugnica royal family, and is definitely more worthy of support than the Capella Emeralda Lugnica who made the announcement in the city hall before!
But it's a pity that Lady Emilia's voice is so loud now that even Reinhardt doesn't know what to do to let Felt win?
Judging from the current situation, no matter in terms of force, power, achievements or reputation, Felt is far behind, let alone Emilia, compared to other candidates for the throne. She is also at the bottom.
That kind of gap, if he thought about it seriously, would even make him feel a little bit desperate?
"??"
"Reinhardt, what are you thinking about?"
"Um?"
"Hello!!"
At this time, he noticed that the knight beside him seemed a little careless, and Felute couldn't help but strangely approached him, staring at him curiously with his red eyes.
"ah!"
"No, it's okay!"
"I just……"
"Well?!"
"There is a situation!!!"
Reinhardt was about to say something. Suddenly, he seemed to hear a signal coming from the tower. Just when he was mentally shocked and ready to respond, unexpectedly, with the sound of broken glass, As the sound rang out, among the group of knights and mercenaries who had just rushed into the tower, several of them flew directly out of the broken windows and walls and fell towards the place below them?
"Felt!"
"careful!!"
Seeing the bloody corpses that fell from the sky, as well as countless building fragments and sharp glass, Reinhardt didn't care to think too much. He hugged Felt and rolled him sideways to the distance, dangerously. He narrowly avoided the danger zone of falling objects from high altitude.
"who is it?!"
"!!"
However, Reinhardt, who had just stood firm and let go of Felt, and was about to draw his sword to face the enemy, had just time to ask, but the next second, he suddenly froze.
"That is….."
"impossible!!"
After exclaiming, Reinhardt's eyes widened.
Because, he saw, in the gap in the tower, a woman holding a long sword standing expressionlessly on the front. The woman had red hair and blue eyes unique to the Astraea family.
At this time, she was standing in the gap with her long hair flying, wearing a somewhat shabby floral skirt, with no expression on her delicate face, and just staring at them numbly with her emotionless eyes. The people below were waiting in formation.
"Reinhardt?"
"you……"
"What’s wrong with you?"
The two had been getting along for a long time and were already familiar with each other, so Felt noticed something was wrong with Reinhardt at a glance.
"..."
However, Reinhardt was not in the mood to answer. At this time, his originally handsome and indifferent face had become a bit ferocious.
"you!"
"Take Felt behind and protect him, there must be no mistakes!"
"quick!!"
Then, in an unmistakable and stern tone, he shouted and ordered to the chaos of his subordinates around him.
"ah?"
"yes!!"
"Master Felt, let's leave quickly!"
"??"
"Hello!"
"What happened?"
"Let me go!!"
"Reinhardt?"
"asshole!!"
Felt struggled and questioned.
However, Reinhardt did not answer her question, and of course none of the knights and followers who seemed to realize that the situation was serious were willing to listen to her. They directly held her up and rushed to the Karsten house for reinforcements. Run quickly in the direction you came from.
"!!"
Just in time for all the irrelevant people to retreat, Reinhardt saw in the next second that the expressionless woman holding a long sword had jumped straight down from the tower and landed steadily. Arriving in front of him, she began to look at him with her unfocused eyes.
"you……"
"who are you?!"
After looking at each other for a while, Reinhard suddenly asked loudly with a ferocious face and gritted his teeth. The voice was so loud that even Felt, who was being held back by someone, was a little frightened.
"explain!!"
Clang! !
Reinhardt pulled out his sword with force, and let the dragon sword named 'Red', which has the highest status in the world, be passed down from generation to generation by sword masters, and only sword masters can hold it. And there is self-awareness, and the tip of the sword that will only be unsheathed when facing a suitable enemy is pointed at that woman.
And from the protruding veins on Reinhard's arms and the back of his hands, it is not difficult to guess that he must be holding the hilt of the sword very hard and his heart is extremely uneasy.
"..."
However, the woman did not answer. She still stood barefooted without saying a word, still looking at him with her unfocused eyes as expressionless as at the beginning.
"!!"
"Please speak!"
"I can't feel the presence of Mana in your body, and I can't feel your heartbeat. Who are you?"
"talk!"
"Theresia Van Astrea?!!"
Almost roaring, Reinhardt used all his strength to shout out the name that he had carried for nearly fifteen years, which was undoubtedly very heavy for him.
"What's wrong with you?!"
As long as they are alive, they usually have Mana, which is magic power, and they also have a heartbeat. However, the woman in front of him, who is extremely familiar to him but also a little strange, has neither, which explains something. .
However, even if he vaguely guessed what kind of existence the visitor was, Reinhardt could not calm down.
After all, that woman's identity was extraordinary to him.
In fact, judging from the red hair and blue eyes unique to the Astraea family, and the fact that he just called out the other party's name with grief and anger, it is not difficult to guess that that woman is related to him and the Astraea family. The relationship is definitely unusual.
And that's exactly what happened...
Because, the other party is Theresia Van Astrea, the wife of Wilhelm Van Astrea, the grandmother of Reinhard Van Astrea, and also the wife of Wilhelm Van Astrea. He is the sword master of the previous generation!
Theresia Van Astrea has always been Reinhardt's most beloved and respected figure. She was the great hero of Lugnica who led the Royal Army to end the 'Demi-human War' and was the person he respected the most. none of them!
Reinhardt still clearly remembers that fourteen years ago, when Thearesia went on an expedition against the White Whale, the Sword Master's protection was suddenly transferred to him when he was only five years old, causing her to lose the power of the Sword Master. Unfortunately killed in action...
And this became the main reason for the estrangement between his grandfather Wilhelm and him. Even Reinhardt himself has been blaming himself for that incident, which has plagued him like a nightmare for fourteen years. , so that he has never been able to easily forgive himself.
And now...
That woman, his beloved grandmother Theresia Van Astrea, unexpectedly appeared again, and she stood in front of him expressionlessly with a sword in hand, without the slightest breath of life in her body. , coupled with the fact that he was facing him with a sword and seemed to be on the side of the Witch Cult, how could he calm down?
"..."
The woman still didn't have any answer, she still just stood there barefoot without saying a word, her face was still as expressionless as before, and her eyes were looking at Reinhardt without focus.
"..."
"Don't answer, or are you unable to answer?"
"Ah!"
Looking at the opponent's face, Reinhardt first gave a sad and bitter smile, and then exhaled a breath of filthy breath. Reinhardt finally calmed down, and the long sword that was originally facing the opponent also slowly lowered.
"I see……"
"All this was done by people from the Witch Cult, right?"
"Dear grandma..."
"Don't worry, I will rescue you and completely eliminate that evil sect, in the name of Astraea!!"
As he said that, while the sword energy was surging, Reinhardt began to add protection to himself one by one, just like he did when he was fighting against a bad little girl.
It's just that this time, it's no longer a competition, and he doesn't seek a victory or defeat, because it means nothing at all!
Now, he just wants to use his own way to atone for his sins and end all this...
…
When Reinhardt was preparing to attack his grandmother, who had passed away fourteen years ago, what he didn't know was that a certain troubled little girl was still staying in the previous restaurant, eating Things, while peeping at them through the magic lenses with relish.
"..."
(??~??)
At this time, in front of Annie, there were magic images like screens floating in mid-air, and inside, there was not only the scene of the confrontation between Reinhardt and his grandmother, the Sword Master, who had been dead for more than ten years, but also There is a scene of Anastasia and her knight Yurius, Mimi Palbaton and others besieging an immortal demi-human 'Eight-Armed Swordsman'.
Of course, there must also be the presence of Crusch, Priscilla, Emilia, and others who are fighting in various places in Watergate City Pristra.
"..."
Standing behind Annie were Rem's cute twin maids with blue hair and blue eyes.
At this time, she still had a lot of blood stains on her body and face, and she stood silently behind the bad little master of her house, and followed the bad little master without saying a word, watching the city. What's happening here.
Now Rem already knows why her master is not anxious, because, judging from the current situation, the five candidates for the throne and the power they control seem to be able to defeat the invasion of the Witch Cult and stabilize this country. The situation in the city, so gradually, she is not so anxious now.
but……
Rem saw it. In addition to the citizens and guards in the city who were caught off guard, many mercenaries and knights also lost their lives during the counterattack. He looked at those warriors who fought bravely but ended up lying dead on the streets. , as kind as she is, she can't help but be a little bit unbearable to remain indifferent.
"Owner."
"Are we really not going to help?"
"If we can also help, we can definitely avoid more casualties, right?"
So, after much hesitation, she felt that she had fully recovered her strength now, and felt that her master should also be full, so she suggested nervously.
"..."
(????)
"I won't go!"
o(′^｀)o
"We'll see!"
(^_?)?
"Rem, I made a bet with you. Do you believe that even if we stay here all the time, those stupid guys will definitely be able to achieve an ending that satisfies everyone?"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
Seeing Rem's nervous frown, Annie had no choice but to turn around and comfort him, but soon she turned her head away again and continued to read with interest.
"??"
"To satisfy everyone?"
"!!"
"Master, you mean...everyone except the Witch Cult?!"
He was stunned for a moment, but soon, Rem suddenly came back to his senses and grasped a certain point. Then his blue eyes widened and he asked impatiently.
"oops!"
(￣▽￣“)
"Anyway, just watch. If anything goes wrong, it's theirs!"
o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o
Although she has seen the results, Anne does not want to reveal the mystery so early now.
"yes!"
"Master, Rem knows..."
Nodding, knowing that her master had made arrangements, the well-behaved blue-haired maid Rem did not continue to ask, and continued to stand quietly behind her little master Anne, blinking her blue eyes. Their big eyes looked at the magic projections suspended in the air in front of them, and patiently waited for a certain result.
