Overlord, I don't want to be the Holy Queen's Great Sword

Before the Earl could finish his words, a rapier instantly pierced his throat from the left side. Blood pooled and he was speechless at this moment.

When the nobles around realized what was happening, instead of doing anything, they immediately jumped back and screamed like crazy like little girls.

The indifferent baron watched the scene calmly, then slowly pulled the rapier out of the earl's throat and said lightly.

"I was ordered by His Majesty and the Grand Master of the Empire to kill Count Corrinan who participated in the assassination of Her Majesty the Queen. You colleagues are not the mastermind, so why are you so nervous?"

For a moment, these almost icy words made the nobles present lean against the wall and dare not move.

After a long while, a noble finally spoke slowly.

"Baron Faloso, you are right. Count Corinnan actually participated in the assassination of Her Majesty the Queen. He deserves to be put to death!"

"We are willing to cooperate, please...can you..."

Everyone instinctively wanted to swallow their saliva, but when they saw the miserable state of the Earl on the ground, and then looked at the bloody rapier that was taken out from somewhere, they immediately grabbed their own necks and dared not speak.

At this time, the noise outside the door was gradually approaching, but the footsteps were orderly, enough to show that the opponent was elite.

Soon after, the door was kicked open and a knight in full armor walked in.

"Thank you for your hard work, Baron Faloso."

The same thing was happening all over the empire, but there were still capable people among the nobles.

Several groups of knights broke out of the encirclement and fled at full speed.

Chapter 121: Taking Action (Not in good condition today, will definitely make up for it tomorrow)

"It's so lively!"

Karko stood on a wooden platform and looked at the street in the distance across the manor wall.

When she first entered the empire, the marble-paved streets that seemed so spacious to her now became battlefields where knights from both sides fought against each other.

Fighting and blood are happening at this moment.

"For the sake of His Majesty and the empire, we must not let these people escape!"

Badjed shouted loudly while waving the giant sword in his hand. For a moment, both his teammates and enemies left a huge area for him, for fear that they would be caught in the vortex of death by accident.

At this time, people on both sides of the street closed their doors and windows, fearing that they would be affected.

Instead, the several nobles who were stopped by Badjed were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks became thick.

"Badger, you dog following the little emperor, get out of my way!"

"Get out of the way now, we might be able to give you a chance to live later."

"Did you hear me? Get out of the way!"

As he spoke, the Duke, who looked a little weathered, waved his hand, and suddenly a dazzling magic circle bloomed from his hand, and a red color began to gather in his palm.

【Fireball】

When Badjed saw this, he shouted loudly.

"Get out of the way!"

For a moment, the crowd that had been blocking the Duke quickly obeyed the order and separated, but what followed was a huge blazing fireball that hit the marble-like road surface.

In an instant, the street burst into red.

At the same time, the priest in white, who was also riding a horse behind the Duke, raised his staff and opened his arms.

【Calm down the whole body】

An invisible aura enveloped all the people on the Duke's side, even some of the knights' horses.

Suddenly, the horse, which was originally frightened by the sudden explosion of fire, slowly calmed down at this moment.

The Duke looked at the messy and even smoking streets and charged forward without hesitation. The many knights behind him followed without hesitation.

The mounted knights only guarded the Duke on both sides, while the rest of the knights were on foot and closely followed behind the cavalry.

The group of people dived directly into the aftermath of the fireball explosion, and then ran quickly towards the far end of the street.

The interception line that was originally formed with great difficulty was easily dissolved by the Duke at this moment.

"The third-tier magic power and faith magic seem to be of pretty good quality."

"Is this the ability of the Duke of the Empire?"

"I have a third-tier magic level, my priests are also at least third-tier, and with these warriors around me..."

Karl looked at the Duke's troops rushing towards here desperately in the distance and nodded.

It has to be said that given the scarcity of fourth-tier magical talents, the fact that this duke himself could reach the third tier and even had a third-tier priest under him was enough to prove his ability.

At the same time, an old voice sounded in Karko's ears, answering the doubts in her heart.

"No, it's just that the Duke of Oslander is special."

"He has gone to the magic academy more than once to recruit talented magic casters. He has more than a dozen third-level magic casters under his command."

"If it wasn't for the Queen's incident not long ago, and he wanted to get something from me, he might not have come here with only a priest."

Fluder used flying magic to float next to Karko and looked deeply at the Duke's team that was running wildly.

At this time, the Duke obviously noticed Kalko and Fluder sticking their heads out over the manor wall.

The two men looked like they were watching a show, which made the Duke slow down his pace for a moment. His face was full of struggle and entanglement.

He did not forget that the people who besieged him were targeting the little emperor and the great wizard of the empire.

Now the Grand Wizard of the Empire is standing in front of him, watching a show. Who knows if there are any ambushes ahead?

For a moment, the Duke couldn't help but feel regretful. He regretted why he didn't stay in the territory, but was persuaded by that damn guy to let the other party attack Fluder.

At this moment, he was simply unable to withstand the counterattack of the great wizard.

As for whether all this was done by the little emperor, the Duke automatically ruled out this option in his mind.

He now just regretted that he didn't bring enough people this time, or he was annoyed that he was in such a panic and finally chose such a route to escape.

As for the action against Fluder...

He knew very well how much a magic caster could improve a territory.

Moreover, he himself had a different idea in mind. If he could not seize as much benefit as possible for himself during the years when the little emperor was treated as a puppet, then he might not have any chance in the future.

The Duke's eyes kept flashing back to what he had done in the past. Finally, he pulled the horse's reins hard and instantly accelerated forward.

No matter whether there is an ambush ahead, he must get through it!

It was just that because the Duke had taken the lead in slowing down, even though they suddenly sped up now, some people in the team still didn't react for a moment.

A strong man with blond hair and a high ponytail took advantage of the moment when the team slowed down and ran towards this side at a speed that was unspeakable to ordinary people.

【Wind Speed ​​Up】

【Wind Break】

The combined effects of the same type of martial arts allowed Badjed, a sturdy man wearing heavy armor, to move along the surrounding walls in a parkour-like posture, and he covered the original distance in just a few seconds.

Seeing that he was about to reach the front of the team, Badjed suddenly exerted force with his right foot and rushed out from the side. At the same time, he clenched the sword in his hand tightly, and an invisible stream of light wrapped around the sword.

【Air Slash】

A wind blade flew out from the greatsword, aiming directly at the leg of the horse under the Standard Duke.

At the critical moment, the Duke pulled the reins suddenly, and the horse, which was originally ready to sprint, stood up on the spot, abruptly stopping its momentum.

The wind blade originally aimed at the horse's legs also missed the target because the horse's legs were raised high.

However, Badjed's goal had been achieved. The Duke's sudden reining in of his horse caused the team, which had just started to charge, to stop again.

But he himself was in danger at this time.

Dozens of fully armored knights were in front of him, and there were many armored warriors behind them.

Even he couldn't help feeling a little scared at this moment.

But soon Badger realized where this place was.

Behind is the residence of the great wizard. Does that mean I can ask the great wizard for help?

Badjed originally wanted to call for help behind him, but he soon remembered something.

That is, they are using the title of the Great Mage this time. If they call for help again...

Forget it, if that person wants to help, then he will help without being asked.

If he doesn't want to help, then there's no point in him shouting.

Now I can only risk my life.

There was a hint of ruthlessness on Badger's face.

At this time, the Duke's troops stopped advancing. Just as the two sides were in a stalemate and the atmosphere was gradually solidifying.

With a creaking sound.

The door not far behind was slowly opened, followed by the sound of orderly footsteps.

Chapter 122: Are all priests... so powerful?

A group of thirty priests dressed in bright silver full-body plate armor marched out into the street in unison.

At this moment, not only the Duke, but even Badgerd himself was stunned.

The Duke thought that there was at least a backup plan left by the Empire in front of him to thwart him, or that the great wizard Fluder would take action himself, and Badjed also believed that Fluder would be the one to rescue him.

But what is going on in front of me?

Both of them could tell from the armor of the warriors in front of them that they were not knights of the empire, but who were they and why did they come out of the manor of the great wizard?

Just as the two were wondering about the identities of the people in front of them, the priests did not want to give them the time.

At that moment, the twenty people behind the priests split into two lines, and at this moment they all raised their hands and pointed at the Duke, chanting loudly.

"【Stalagmite Assault】"

"【Second-level Angel Summoning】"

In an instant, dense and sharp stone spikes gathered into a wave and hit the Duke and others, causing them to fall to the ground.

At this moment, the guardian angels summoned by the ten priests also emerged from the magic circles on both sides.

"Everyone be careful, they are all priests, all priests!!"

The third-rank priest who was following the Duke jumped off his horse in panic and let his mount block the attack for him.

The rusty smell was spreading around at this time.

At this moment, the priest's heart was pounding and he couldn't help but curse.

What force is this team from? There are thirty second-rank priests in total. If they gathered together, they could probably annihilate a team of hundreds of people. But now they are being used against them?

The priest now particularly regretted that he came out wearing only a priest's uniform instead of a set of plate armor.

If I wear plate armor, I at least have a chance of survival.

Accompanied by the neighing of horses, the cavalry that had previously been able to break through the encirclement were instantly disabled.

However, the Duke was no pushover when he dismounted. As a third-rank magic caster, he knew how to deal with it in an instant.

The magic circle in his hand blossomed, and the Duke chanted loudly again. This time, no one avoided anyone else.

“【Fireball】!”

All of a sudden, a huge fireball rushed out again, aiming directly at the priests.

At this time, the priests also heard the Duke's voice, and the ten people in the front row immediately followed the chant without hesitation.

Although it was a little slower, he managed to keep up.

"[Shock Wave]"

The ten people at the front raised their hands at the same time, and instantly the shock wave like a scimitar blade created ripples in the air.
