Episode 197
founder of dragons
When Count Calliger decided that he could no longer stand by and watch Elric’s power grow.
The proposal to Viscount Couransiville was very simple.
-I will report this to His Majesty the Crown Prince. ‘Hero of Lascent and descendant of the Star Mage. ‘Collusion with barbarians.’ Is there any other scandal as big as this?
-Prince? Not the 4th prince?
-The 4th Prince is someone who wants to keep Elric Mervinger by his side. How can you trust someone like that?
Count Calliger had supported the 4th prince, Cromhel, for a long time, and had built up a large position in their faction, but at the time, he did not seem to care much.
Of course, Viscount Couransiville knew full well that this was a bluff.
There were already few people in the political world who did not know that the Count Franz family had a weakness for Prince Kromhel and could not move.
However, because the power of the Count Franz family was so great and the prestige of Count Calliger was also high, no one paid much attention to it.
However, Count Calliger is said to be handing over the scandal related to Elric to Crown Prince Zereitz.
Viscount Curansiville could not help but narrow his eyes.
-That’s not it, he’s probably trying to remove the thorn in his eyes and establish an unrivaled position in the 4th Prince’s faction.
-anyway. Will you do it or will you not?
Count Calliger will probably contact Crown Prince Geraitz anonymously. And when the scandal broke, he would tell the political world that he had been dragged into it because of the decisions of his commander, Elric Mervinger. He may have some extenuating circumstances.
And once you get rid of Elric Mervinger, who has become a traitor, you will be able to monopolize all of Mervinger’s remaining legacy where he disappeared.
Although it is said to be a prestigious family that has fallen, the reputation that Mervinger has built up over generations never disappears.
If you go back several generations, there will be some Mervinger blood mixed into the Count Franz family, so it is not strange to claim ancestry.
Viscount Couransiville decided that he should never be left out of that. He, too, had the right to claim Mervinger ancestry since his grandmother was from Mervinger.
like that.
Count Calliger and Viscount Couransiville waited for the ‘right moment’ to come.
The time when contact was made with the main army that had fled to the far away territory of the empire.
No matter how many times Elric offended them, they persevered.
And it is said that it finally came true this morning.
This was a point where Viscount Couransiville could not help but be angry.
“Then why haven’t you shared the truth with me yet?”
“I was going to tell you when it was all sorted out. “Because your impatient personality could have ruined things.”
Count Calliger instead snorted and shouted.
“But before you even do that, you’re already trying to ruin it. Elric Mervinger, I need to hit him by the back of his neck when he’s off guard. Tsk!”
Viscount Curanciville frowned. He always hated this side of Count Calliger.
The arrogance of acting as if one is the only one who is good in this world.
At the same time, he looked subtly disdainful at Viscount Curanciville.
I clenched my fists.
I felt like I wanted to punch that person right in the face. But if I did that, everything would be over, so I endured it.
Count Calliger also took a step back when he saw that Viscount Couransiville was losing his temper in an uncharacteristic way.
“Anyway, just wait a moment. Contrary to your worries, Elric Mervinger can go on a rampage, but he won’t be able to do anything to you directly.”
“Don’t you know his personality?”
“know. I know it all too well. This is the guy who cut off my son’s arm. “Still, isn’t he a guy who only has the harsh side left behind from my grandfather, who had a strong good-natured side?”
“But why do you think that?”
“If you do that, the military camp will be destroyed!”
Count Calliger crossed his arms and twisted one lip.
“Eric Mervinger has finally created something that can become the foundation of his family. He turned a group of followers into vassals. But in that situation, they are in direct conflict with us? Are you going to lose a lot of your power base?”
If you are already trapped in the middle of enemy lines and try to escape, isn’t it inevitable that you will incur significant troop losses?
But before that, causing self-imposed destruction was something that was absolutely impossible based on common sense.
That’s why Count Calliger was able to shout loudly with confidence.
And he was confident that he could slowly kill Elric Mervinger.
but.
He didn’t know much yet.
That is a story that can only be accepted within the realm of ‘ordinary’ common sense.
Elric was farther from ordinary than he thought.
It was then that the incident occurred.
bang!
Suddenly, the door to the command barracks where the two people were was burst open and someone rushed inside.
“Ah, father!”
It was Rodeo, the son of Count Calliger.
His complexion, which had been so quiet as if he were dead because he was afraid of meeting Elric directly due to the trauma of having his arm cut off, was half as pale.
“What’s going on!”
“Well, I think you should go outside! Now, you too, Viscount!”
“why? “Did the barbarians even have swords?”
Count Calliger asked, smoothing his beard with his fingertips.
It was already assumed that the people of this village would rise up.
And the conclusion was, ‘I don’t think there will be much damage.’
Because we’ve been secretly and thoroughly investigating them for the past month.
It was a force that could easily be destroyed even by the count’s personal soldiers.
If they attacked first, Count Franz would be able to gain justification and loot, so he hoped for more.
but.
“Not barbarians!”

“then?”
“Elric! “It’s Elric!”
“what?”
Only then did Count Calliger’s relaxed face break.
Right at that moment.
Kwakwakwak!
A loud explosion suddenly sounded outside.
I could even feel the strong scent of magic power.
Phenomena that occur when a battle occurs and attack magic is deployed.
Count Calliger hurriedly left the barracks, realizing that something strange was going on. Viscount Curanciville and Rodeo followed suit later.
“Hey, there it is!”
The two people’s eyes were fixed on the direction Rodeo pointed.
Around the military camp of Count Franz and Viscount Twerk, the Star Wars army was fully armed and surrounded.
Hearing the commotion, the two noble families’ soldiers came out in a hurry and were seen shaking.
and.
There was a place where a cloud of dust was blowing between them.
A place where the scent of magical power still permeates heavily. Among the fallen barracks, Elric opened his eyes coldly and grabbed someone by the collar with one hand and lifted them up.
“Kek, kek! Buy, save… !”
The soldier caught by Elric was in a state of despair with his feet more than an inch off the ground.
He was so out of breath that his complexion was pale. My lungs and heart were crushed by the force emitted by Elric, and I was unable to come to my senses.
It was the soldier who caused this sad month.
Elric’s gaze upon him was as cold as a blizzard in the tundra.
“Elic Mervinger! “What on earth is this?”
Viscount Curanciville let out a roar, letting out his barely contained anger.
The soldier caught in Elric’s hands was not a simple soldier who could be wasted. He was a regular soldier and loyalist who had served in Viscounty for a long time.
Elric’s gaze shifted from the soldier to Viscount Curansiville.
“Ate.”
“yes. “Please order.”
However, Elric called a vassal next to him, not Viscount Curansiville.
“What did you say you would do to the guy who causes trouble to the villagers while I’m definitely here?”
“You said you would be charged with a serious crime.”
“Under imperial military law, what are the punishments for blatantly ignoring the commander-in-chief, who manages and supervises on behalf of the commander?”
“Interpretation varies depending on the situation, but if you are in the middle of enemy territory, you will be treated as if you have disobeyed the commander’s orders and will be summarily executed.”
“Right.”
Elric and Ate chatted casually, as if they were saying good morning.
However, the soldiers’ complexions turned blue when they realized what was inside.
Quad Deuk!
Elric put more force into his hands.
The terrible sound of the cervical spine rotating spread throughout the military camp.
The soldier who caused the problem died with his tongue sticking out.
dump.
The body fell helplessly to the floor.
“this guy!”
Viscount Curanciville’s roar exploded like a thunderbolt.
“Although he participated in the capacity of a noble officer, the nobleman whose superiority and subordinate relationship was clearly determined by military order disobeyed the commander’s orders. “How will this be disposed of?”
Elric calmly met Viscount Curansiville’s gaze.
He no longer showed the sneer he usually wore.
It meant that he was very angry.
“You can submit a formal complaint letter to the Defense Security Agency. Then, a separate decision meeting will be held at the Defense Security Agency to conduct a review.”
“What if it’s difficult?”
“Under customary law.”
“According to customary law, I understand that a noble’s duty is to be loyal to the empire and the imperial family, and to be faithful to the military. “Isn’t that right?”
“That’s right.”
“I heard that’s true. “Viscount, what do you think?”
Elric twitched the corner of one of his lips as he looked at Viscount Curanciville, whose face was now turning red and his body was shaking violently.
Blatant ridicule.
It meant that if you were going to attack me, then go for it.
“When Officer Brian tried to exercise his right to court-martial this dead soldier. Viscount Curanciville Twerk, I heard that you disrupted the event by force. Let me ask you why. Give the reason and legal basis for your obstruction. “I will take into account circumstances.”
From the beginning until now, Elric has never shown any emotion. He clearly and clearly laid out the legal basis and made every soldier aware that he was following normal procedures.
It felt even more frightening to Count Calliger.
‘The cause has been taken away! The soldiers can’t step forward!’
If Elric had emotionally set out to avenge Brian, the Count and Viscount soldiers would have shown hostility, but there was absolutely no time for that now.
This meant that the star sect did not just attack.
“I just stopped something lowly from daring to touch my family. What a basis for that! I! As the leader of self-twerking authors, I am the basis for that! “No one can argue about this!”
Count Calliger covered his face with his hands.
‘That stupid guy… !’
If you respond emotionally and force yourself, no one will listen to you.
Count Calliger felt that he could not just sit back and watch like this. It was something he had never dreamed of seeing Viscount Curansibile fall from power, but not now.
So, unlike him, I politely walked forward.
“I would like to object to what the commander just said… !”
“Count Calliger, stay still. It is not your place to intervene. Also, I may have questions from you later.”
Count Calliger’s eyes glowed coldly at his dismissive tone, but his face soon became astonished when he saw the letter Elric took out of his arms and waved.
It was the very letter he had told me to deliver to Prince Zereitz!
‘Why is that… !’
For a moment, Count Calliger felt a shiver go down his spine.
Doesn’t securing that mean that his every move was being read in Elric’s palm?
I couldn’t go forward because I was worried that there might be more to my weakness than just that.
and.
Even Viscount Curansibile could definitely sense that feeling.
Unless he was a fool, he couldn’t have known that he was firmly caught in a trap.
The cause was lost, and Count Calliger was also stranded. Contact with the crown prince, who was thought to be a turning point, also went awry.
There is only one option he can choose here anyway.
Military mutiny.
“Elic Mervingeroooo!”
bang!
He stomped on the ground and rushed towards Elric.
