The knights in silver armor became the vanguard, while the sorcerer's attacks were blocked by the knights in black armor.

　And from behind them, the rear guard knights who attacked with bows and arrows and sorcery took up positions. They were the Kingsguard Knights under Inishida's direct control.

　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

　Castor and the others are sweating in a cold sweat as they give orders.

Hold them back! They're coming forward! If you shoot flaming arrows from left and right simultaneously, you can kill those in anti-physical armor!

Push it back however you can! If this fails, we'll all be executed!

'Hi-yaaah! Ha, ha, come on! Stop those people! Can't we hurry up!

　They were in a semi-crazed state of frenzy as they fought against the knights of the Kingsguard, but the situation was getting worse and worse with each passing hour, and they were getting more and more impatient.

　The Karruk Kingdom, which has avoided war, certainly doesn't have a strong knightly order, and relies on mercenaries who rely on money to fight. That was not a mistake, and Castor and the others had acknowledged that somewhere in their hearts.

　In other words, even Castor and his colleagues, the senior nobles of the Karruk Kingdom, had a disdain for the military might of the Karruk Kingdom.

　However, it was different about the Kingsguard under the direct control of King Innisida. There are many defeated soldiers from countries that lost the war thanks to the Blau Empire, and they all line up before Inicida as slaves of war prisoners.

　Among them were fierce men of war, renowned swordsmen, and officers of small nations. They were contracted by Inicida as slaves to augment her own Kingsguard.

　And he gave the small number of elite kinsmen knights of the Kingsguard expensive equipment and armor of magic. Their strength was enough to fight against an army of comparable countries, and they could even compete with the court magicians and golems of the Blau Empire.

　On the contrary, Castor and his team only organized knights and sorcerer corps that lacked the actual battle experience as their reputation suggests, and the difference in strength was not proportional to the difference in numbers.

　As a result, Castor and his men were pushed back and forced to retreat, even though they challenged with their physical strength.

　As soon as they saw that there was a gap in front of the gates, the guards quickly secured the square in front of the gates to expand their territory and create a safe zone.

''Hahahahaha! Saw that, Prime Minister! This is my true power! The most powerful order of warriors who cannot use a sword or sorcery! It's true that we have a limited number of equipment. We can't have more than that, but it's more than enough power, right?

''Ho, it's true but is it safe to leave the Konoe Guard too far away from here? If we had a second group now, a third group, etc., ready to go...

　To the anxious vizier, Inicida clicked her tongue and scoffed at the view from the balcony with her chin.

'Utterly nerveless! Look at that! Castor's life is at an end! Hmmmmm, hahahaha! With a little bit of king's blood in your veins, yet rebellion is a fitting end for a fool!

　In the distance, Inishida shouts in a good mood, pointing to Castor and his men being pushed deep into the hall in front of the royal castle.

　In the blink of an eye, the Kingsguard overwhelmed the soldiers, leaving their opponents with no desire to fight.

　In the meantime, the sword of the Kingsguard reaches Castor's neck.

　Fresh blood danced and the atmosphere of the battlefield clearly changed. Confirming this, Inicida walked to the end of the balcony with her arms outstretched.

''It's settled. The Duke of Castor and all other fools who participated in this crime are to be executed. All those who have blood in their veins. The young woman is to be made a slave and all her property is to be confiscated. We must show the others that this is what happens when you do something stupid.

　He looked back at the view of the royal capital, where soldiers were mingling with each other as they spoke in a torrent of speech.

　At the same time, a white light crossed in front of him.

　When Inicida blinked her eyes and realized that the raw, warm liquid had soaked her own body, she realized that the vizier standing in front of her was holding his sword in his trembling hands.

　The vizier looks at Inicida, who rolls her eyes with frightened eyes, and screams.

''Hi, hi! I, I didn't want to...! I didn't want to do this! But now that Lord Castor is dead, there's no other way to...

　The vizier took a step back, running off with excuses. On the contrary, Inicida took a step closer to the vizier and opened her mouth, not caring about the blood dripping from her severed neck.

''Why.........why........are you.......''

　As Inishida tried to approach him while questioning him, the terrified vizier shouted aloud as he brandished his sword.

''Whoa, whoa! And I don't have a choice! Because Your Majesty would be foolish enough to make an enemy of that celestial country...! His Excellency, Lord Castor, and others have passed this information on to our neighbors! In other words, this country is dead! So far, the shadow of the Empire has been there! But not anymore! If they find out that we've turned against the Sky Country, which country will attack first...!

　While speaking up quickly, the vizier slashes Inicida's hands and shoulders with his poor use of the sword.

　Inicida retreats backwards, frowning from the pain of being slashed.
　Eventually, he was cornered at the edge of the balcony. Then, I received a blade to my face that I reflexively raised.

''T........tsu.... You know....

　On her back, Inicida climbed over the balcony wall and was thrown headfirst into the air.

　At the sight of King Karluk's fallen figure, covered in wounds and spattered with blood, the soldiers, who were supposed to be a mix of enemies and allies, all looked up in the same direction and stopped moving.

　Strangely enough, the royal capital of the Karruk Kingdom can be seen looking up at the royal castle from anywhere in the city.

　The moment of King Karruk's death was seen and known equally by nobles, people, merchants and slaves alike.

　The sounds of battle ceased, and in the silence, the sound of a heavy cloth sack dropping resounded.

　There was no sound of victory or lamenting defeat.

　In the midst of all this, only the tearful voice of the Prime Minister, trembling and still holding his sword, could be heard.
