Emperor of Steel - Chapter 269

Chapter 269

Near the Albertville lord’s manor .

There was a group of figures lurking on a hill that was overlooking the city at a glance .

One of the two people who were leading the group surprisingly was Baron Vante .

He looked anxiously at the woman who was looking at the Lord’s manor .

“Lady Scarlet, are you sure about this?”

“Yes, with no strength to protect, I have given up on the estates, but I plan to get my father’s revenge done . ”

“But, the new lord isn’t such a bad man . Wouldn’t it be better to give up on revenge and find a way to live the rest of your life?”

The lady was Scarlet, the daughter of the former lord, who was leading the group .

She was wearing a leather armor that fitted to her slender figure and a huge bow behind her back .

At the age of six, she learned the skills from her father by the age of 10, she went to a nearby forest to lean archery from an Elf whom she met in the forest . And by 18, she turned into a Bow Expert .

Eight years later from that time, she was the top Bow Expert .

The reason why such a lady hadn’t joined the rebellion with her father Suleiman was because of her own beliefs .

The ambition of Marquis Suleiman wasn’t coveted, and the rebellion was unlikely to succeed .

Nevertheless, her father, who had always been overwhelmed by his familiar acquaintances, had led the knights and the Gigant’s forces to the capital despite her opposition .

He made it look like a triumph was going to come if he advanced towards Bless, but he was defeated by Arch Duke Gregory .

In the meantime, her father died .

“Where in the Holy Empire can the remnants of the rebels live? And I don’t like the thought of living in another nation leaving behind my hometown . ”

When the news of the rebellion failing had come, her half mother and half brother along with the family retainers and knights had fled the territory .

Loyal retainers and soldiers like Vante had remained, but the number of them was less than 300 .

It made no sense for them to fight a thousand troops brought in by the new lord .

Nevertheless, she had come to the place to complete her mission of taking revenge for her dad .

“If you don’t want to come, Sir Vante and the others, you can go out . ”

“Phew, lady, you are my master now . How do you expect me to turn a blind eye when I know it is going to be dangerous? Since I have already aged a lot, I don’t think that I can be much help to you, but I will be there for you . ”

The other retainers too nodded their heads .

Seeing that, the lady couldn’t help but close her eyes .

Nobody would have blamed them if they decided to run away from her, but they stayed beside her all the time and protected her, she couldn’t help but feel thankful .

Taking back her tears, she gave out the orders .

“Everyone attack!”

It wasn’t long since the new men had gone there, so the lady had the advantage of making damage by the time the new lord is alerted .

Hopefully, by the time the news spreads, they manage to take down the new lord .

Scarlet’s eyes shone as bright as the blades, accepting every possibility with confidence .

After releasing the curse from Hwang Bo-sung, Luke went to bed to sleep but was soon awakened when Philip entered to report an urgent matter to him .

“The enemy has invaded?” Asked Luke .

“There wasn’t much invasion since Hwang Bo-sung was nearby, but it looks like we have taken some damage . ”

The stealth enemy was reported to have attacked the stables and the munition warehouses located on the outer side of the manor .

The surprise had worked well as dozens of horses had run away and the warehouses got burned down .

Hwang Bo-sung, who was walking around without sleeping in for the night, witnessed the scene .

Surprised, he swept the enemies in a hurry .

They were surprised by the appearance of a Fist Master, and they decided to run away .

“Gigants?” Asked Luke .

“Fortunately, the place they attacked was right next to the Rakan knights lodgings, so we responded quickly by moving our Gigants . ” Answered Philip .

“The identity or the number of the invaders?”

“Because it was night, we couldn’t figure out the details or the number . We did capture a few, but they show no signs of opening their mouths, yet . ”

“Troublesome…” Said Luke .

“Hwang Bo-sung went chasing, and soon we might be able to find the identity of the enemy . ”

A sector, or a group of men .

But Hwang Bo-sung had a huge weapon called, Puppet .

As long as he was chasing, the result was obvious . If they were the knights of the empire, he wouldn’t know what to do” .

However, Hwang Bo-sung had come back empty-handed in the morning .

Scratching his head, he reported .

“I am very sorry, Lord . The chase after them failed . ”

“What did you say? What even happened?”

“That…”

And this was what Hwang Bo-sung had explained .

At first, it wasn’t very difficult to chase after the enemy . The power difference between him and the enemy was huge .

But at some point, however, everything began to turn tangled with the entry of a bow .

“That lady, she was shooting the bow like hell . ”

Hwang Bo-sung had initially assumed that the lady was just an ordinary archer .

But when the arrows kept on coming at him with ferocious speed, he couldn’t help but rethink .

He had never seen anything like that slash of wind, and the sharpness at which the arrows flew, the archer was able to shoot several arrows at once .

Even if he was a Moorim skills user, the sound of accuracy from the lady’s shots was first-class .

“I was light, and I was fast on my feet too . I ran over for several minutes through the narrow paths . But I couldn’t . ”

After chasing the unidentified archer, the distance increased, and the enemies who attacked were completely lost . The archer too managed to conceal the traces .

‘Maybe an Elf?’

Among the elves who lived in the forests, there were a lot of agile archers .

There were Bow Experts and Bow Masters, and when he heard the story from Hwang Bo-sung, he thought they could be associated .

But it was doubtful if such a skilled elf would tie hands with humans .

‘If we meet the person we will get to know . ’

Thinking so, the next morning, Luke ordered the Albertville soldiers which were renamed as the Red Wolf, was out to search, which his mercenaries .

Since there were a lot of mercenaries, Luke decided to check on the abilities of them using that occasion .
