How to Live as a Tyrant’s Spoiled Brat Chapter 108

How to live as a tyrant's spoiled brat Episode 108

(108)

The knightly swordsmanship learned from the Emperor's four knights was a little different from general swordsmanship.

This was because he was able to ignore defense thanks to the full-body plate armor, which was a top-grade magical tool.

“Die!”

“Surround and stab!”

The enemy charged with pointed war hammers and straight swords with long blades.

If you strike the battle hammer with all your might, you can easily penetrate the 2mm of iron plate that makes up the armor.

Kang, Kang, Kang!

The battle hammer that struck the helmet bounced off, and the straight sword that struck the torso bent and broke.

"crazy!"

“What, what is it!”

They didn't know that Tentia's white armor was over 6mm thick, and that even a sword user of the rank of action captain would be unable to break the armor.

Tentia let out a red wolf-like laugh at them, who were taken aback.

He swung his longsword in a circular motion with a snap of his wrist, knocking away their weapons.

“Huh huh?”

To those who looked at the weapon that had left their hands with absurd eyes.

The longsword raised to shoulder height slashed down diagonally.

wickedness!

Without even wielding her black mana blade, she cut through their cloth and leather armor, freeing their wretched minds from their sinful bodies.

“Stand back!”

The leader of the group realized later that she was not just a rich bodyguard but a knight, and he himself jumped in.

He was a man with a hunched body who seemed to be twice as big as Tentia.

The man twisted his muscular body and swung the huge straight sword sideways.

Phew!

It was powerful enough to easily penetrate chainmail and crush the body of the person inside.

Tentia laughed ferociously, her red eyes shining from inside her face shield.

“For His Highness the Grand Duke Valencian!”

She took a step back with her right foot, firmly secured her center of gravity, then raised her left arm and struck straight.

Kagagak!

The straight sword slid sideways, unable to cut through the curved gauntlet plate.

The knight's fighting style was not to block with force or rely solely on the strength of his armor, but to deflect the impact so that it was not fully transmitted.

Since the armor was impenetrable anyway, the key was to avoid the attacks without losing balance, and Tentia understood that very well.

The steps of the action captain were tangled by a greatly misaligned sword.

Tentia didn't miss that moment and swung her sword.

Phew!

The action captain who had his stomach cut groaned, and Tentia lifted the action captain with her left hand and threw him into the water.

with a plop!

The February lake, fed by melted snow from the mountains, was as cold as ice.

The action captain sank without even being able to scream.

The rebels retreated in bewilderment at the senseless death of their leader, who was one of the most powerful men in the group.

Then another leader with a short beard climbed onto the boat, stabbed one of the bandits in the thigh with his sword as he tried to escape, and threw him into the lake.

“Surround them! Surround them, you fu*king gods! Just grab their arms and legs and throw them into the water! They’ll sink!”

The eyes of the pirates who had been hesitating to retreat at his rebuke changed.

“Catch him!”

“Legs! Legs!”

The moon was bright, Tentia's white armor shone like platinum, and the pirates' clothes were all dark colors.

Looking down from the deck, they looked like dozens of evil spirits swarming around, trying to catch the light.

In an instant, the white armor was covered by black enemies.

“You are shallow-minded.”

Tentia muttered as she raised her Mana Blade.

The blade of her longsword turned red, and she spun around in place with the agility of a dancer.

The heavy armor clanked and a red line was drawn in the air like a comet's tail.

Tsukaaaaak!

The Mana Blade, which cuts through steel, sliced through the enemies' weapons, arms, shoulders, necks, and torsos.

Parts of the enemies' bodies flew up as if they had been thrown.

She approached the captain of the action team, who was guilty of not recognizing the strong.

No amount of numbers could stand in the way of a knight striding forward under the moonlight, his red mana bladed sword hanging down.

"iced coffee."

The short-bearded captain gritted his teeth.

He was also a sword user, and if he concentrated, he could cut down two soldiers in leather armor at once.

Just now, Tentia cut down everyone who entered the path of her sword with one blow.

Ten people? Twenty people?

“Ahhhhh!”

The captain jumped back into the ship he had come on.

Tentia burst into laughter and ran after him across the deck.

The other action leaders and the pirates who had just climbed up the rope ladder shouted in confusion at his escape.

“What is going on?”

“I heard a sound from upstairs.”

“… … It’s ruined.”

The pirates' ships were not small boats, but rather large ships, slightly smaller than transport ships.

There were more than thirty rowers, and a similar number of pirates on each boat.

Percussion!

Tentia threw herself so hard that the deck of the captain's ship shook.

A body clad in full plate armor flew dozens of meters and landed on the enemy's ship.

“Uh, uh, uh, aaaah!”

The action captain who had escaped to the ship fell to the ground with her steel boots crushing his scalp.

* * *

Valencian stood on the mast and gave orders.

“Sharp stabbing flames!”

Every time the spell was uttered, a burst of fire as powerful as that of any wizard would shoot across the night sky.

When the fire spears struck the enemy's ship in a long arc, there was a loud bang, flames shot up, and the entire ship was engulfed in flames.

The pirates were terrified and threw themselves into the lake, most of whom sank.

“What kind of stupid thing is this!”

The leader of the bandits looked at the scene before his eyes, clutching his head.

One knight was leaping between ships like a stepping stone, cutting down approaching enemies, and one royal magician was unleashing powerful magic from a distance that arrows could not easily reach, making it impossible for the convoy to approach.

The sound of drums and trumpets was heard from the captain's ship.

Thanks to the moonlight, the oars of the transport ships could be seen coming down long distances.

The transport ships that had been advancing in a single row changed their arrangement to a three-row formation and accelerated.

At the same time, the captain's ship in the lead turned its bow and blocked the path between the enemy and the transport ships.

“You’re trying to buy time by trusting those two! How foolish they must have thought of us… … Slowly come together! Bring me my bow!”

The leader drew his bow together with his guards while pushing his ship forward again.

He was an excellent archer, a former longbowman, able to target opponents from 350 meters away, and trained his men to do the same.

“Got it.”

The moment he aimed precisely at Valencian's face, a maid standing with her back against the mast of the flagship was saying the same thing.

“I got it.”

He was wearing square glasses, but his green eyes, which didn't really need them, sparkled under the moonlight.

Taaang! Taaang! Taaang!

The sound of bullets being fired echoed across the night lake, and the heads of the guardsmen burst apart like rotten pumpkins.

“What, what is it!”

“Ahh!”

“Get out of here!”

The boss threw himself on the floor in a state of bewilderment, and Rudy smiled eerily at him as he disappeared below deck.

“If you show your head again, I’ll have to shoot you right away.”

The heat called loyalty shone in the green eyes that were out of focus.

At that time, the grain-laden transport ships were steadily passing behind the captain's ships.

The enemy were not stupid, so they scattered and tried to bypass the main force, but it was not easy.

Three sailors on board a transport ship shared a look as they watched the fierce battle.

“I think it might be okay to help a little.”

“That article is a little dangerous.”

“I will become stronger in the future.”

If you look closely, you can see that their earlobes and nose tips look like they were never meant to be human, but the sailors who were wrapped in scarves couldn't possibly notice that.

One of the sailors prayed in a low voice, as if singing.

“We will go to the deepest depths. Ride on the horse’s head and endless back. Rejoice. Even if we never return.”

A large wave surged forward and then sank deeply in front of the captain's ship.

The three of them watched the red knights fight for a while, and soon let out a soft laugh.

* * *

Northern Grand Duke Severic interpreted what Lucena had told him.

'I thought it would be better to be a little shameless in order to seize the initiative. Since we just had to get through that situation anyway.'

'I did my best then, and I'm just doing my best now. If I do that, I might sound a little cowardly and shameless.'

'Archduke Severic didn't say that. He just said it was all my doing and let it go.'

As he stood on the rear deck of the captain's ship, the corpses of his enemies were strewn around him.

“Clean it up.”

"yes."

The northern soldiers threw the body into the lake, and Severic headed for the deck railing.

“Die!”

He was hanging on to the rope ladder when he suddenly stabbed a dagger at a man, kicking him in the face and sending him falling into the lake.

“If you just spare my life… … I’ll profit!”

He also pulled out a dagger and fell into the lake while begging for his life.

He was the commander-in-chief of the North, leading hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and had experienced many deaths since childhood, including the deaths of those truly close to him.

Having endured the death of his father, he did not take death by numbers to heart at all.

He smiled like winter towards the ships of the enemy who had finally escaped Valencian's magic and passed the captain's ship.

Cruel, cold and merciless.

“Winter.”

I didn't know if the rumors about him bringing blizzards were true or not.

But the moment his longsword began to glow with a blue light like eternal snow, even the three Encroachers hiding on the transport ship suddenly felt a chill.

Severic slashed his longsword vertically.

Saaaaaaaah-.

A long crescent-moon-shaped aura blade shot out.

The trajectory was such that it passed through all five ships that passed the captain's ship.

Five times the distance between them was significant, and it didn't matter how he could cut it with a single Aura Blade.

Tsk tsk tsk-.

The only result was the clear truth that no one can escape winter.

Five ships, each with its cross-section frozen, were split in two and sunk into the water.

Valencianus saw this and began to reconsider all his plans for military action against the north.

'Fighting Severic is madness. You shouldn't treat an opponent who is motivated by conviction rather than profit as an enemy. Don't even prepare for it. You should erase the option of fighting from your mind.'

Admit your mistakes before you return.

'We must definitely join hands with the North. The current situation seems to be that the Imperial Family has admitted to having tricked the North.'

I have identified the current situation.

'I missed five ships, causing Severic to shoot his Auror Blade. Damn it. Not good. I'm going to need more balls.'

I made a plan of action.

Looking up at Valencianus, Severic also thought.

'The Emperor's twin… … What a talent. He doesn't seem to have much trouble even though he fired dozens of flame spears that could sink a ship at once.'

In reality, he was trying hard to hold back his breath, but Severic failed to see through the acting skills he had developed against Jerilis.

'I did my best then, and I'm just doing my best now.'

I couldn't tell if that was true or not.

Maybe Lucena noticed that he was listening and said something out of the blue.

But Severic was secretly satisfied with those words and the words that followed.

'If you do that, you might end up saying something a little cowardly and shameless.'

It was enough to know that Valencian was not a monster who could run anywhere, but a human being with desires.

Severic himself knew that he was driven by conviction.

A human being driven by belief was so tired.

No matter how hard it was, he didn't stop, and he was stubborn, making it hard for those around him.

'If Valencian had been an absolutist, it would have been very difficult.'

If not that.

If the royal family is so deeply immersed in the romance of heroic sacrifice that they hide the truth that ignorance is bliss with provocative words and groundbreaking statements, there is no answer.

'I want to take you to the North.'

Severic's grey eyes shone softly.

* * *

Tentia made all the fish on board resemble sausages before entering the intestines, unchained the slaves who were rowing, and then skipped to the next ship and repeated the same process.

She had once again made one of her captains into a merciless piece of shit, and the boss trembled as he watched.

That armor must weigh dozens of kilograms. How can he fly around like that wearing it?

“If you kneel and surrender, I will spare your life.”

Tentia always said those words first after landing on the deck, shaking.

He was a true example of a knight, giving me another chance even after being rejected more than ten times.

The captain of the action team, seeing what happened to the other ships that did not listen to this, raised both hands and knelt down.

They say that the law is far away and fists are close, that's the life of a bandit, but right now, the fist of a knight is closer than the fist of a boss.

“You made a good decision.”

Tentia spoke proudly and threw the leader's weapon into the lake.

“Are you really going to save me?”

“A knight keeps his promises.”

The moment after the action leader smiled.

with a plop!

The boat capsized and Tentia sank like a rock.
