Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first?-Chapter 477 - 92: Blocking the Road

"Miss..."

"Hmm?" Eleanor, lost in thought, looked up.

"We are about to depart soon," said the attendant knight from the Weisbach family. "If you wish to go back with us, you can rest in the rear compartment of the carriage."

"Where is Father?" asked Eleanor.

"The Duke is in another carriage," replied the attendant knight. "His health has improved significantly, and he should be resting now."

"Alright." Eleanor approached the carriage that carried Henry’s coffin. "What about my brother’s sword and shield?"

"Viscount Regens’ belongings are all in the carriage behind us," said the attendant knight.

Eleanor walked toward the rear carriage. It was an open type with arched bars on the sides where people could sit and which could also be used to transport goods. At the moment, it was loaded with Henry’s weapons and armor, his usual change of clothing, a crate of wine, as well as some books and notebooks he often read, all packed into boxes of varying sizes without lids.

Silently placing the ancient book on top of the box filled with books, Eleanor turned back and sternly told the guard knight:

"These items must not be lost, they must be delivered without exception. Father is already grief-stricken. If he learns that Henry’s remains were lost en route..."

"We will not let that happen, Miss," the attendant knight quickly assured her. "Our accompanying personnel will keep an eye on these goods from front to back, ensuring they don’t fall off along the way."

"Good," Eleanor nodded. "You go ahead. I’ll catch some more sleep in the tent and then ride on horseback after dawn."

"Ah?" The attendant knight paused, then said, "Alright, then, please be careful."

Miss Weisbach was not one of those frail noble misses; she had genuinely fought and killed on the battlefield, so the attendant knight dared not oppose her wishes lightly.

Eleanor returned to the tent of The Azure Longsword Mercenary Corps, lay on the rudimentary camp bed, and closed her eyes.

Goodbye, members of the Mercenary Corps.

I’m glad to have met you.

After dozing off for another hour or two, she finally woke up slowly.

Opening her eyes, the faint light of dawn filtered through the flap of the tent.

Climbing out of bed, Eleanor brushed her teeth and rinsed her mouth with a bottle of water from the table, then ate some stored snacks.

She then pulled the armor from under the bed and dressed piece by piece.

Lastly, she put on the Gothic face mask with wings, the helmet she wore when she first met Aske in the underground arena of the Constantinople hotel.

She had not worn it for a long time.

Once again, she checked the weapons by her side: the Sparta-gifted longsword blended with blood pattern steel, the fine gold long spear from the Constantinople Arena, and the Imperial Eagle given by Aske.

Since acquiring the skill "Conceptual Weapon," Aske no longer needed ordinary weapons, except for special-material weapons like the Dragon Bone Longsword.

Eleanor confirmed the number of bullets in the Imperial Eagle.

Six bullets, five for the Emperor, one for herself. In the final moment, with the barrel against the bridge of her nose: one shot to blow her face clean off with massive destructive force.

Gun in her right hand, sword in her left, she lifted the tent flap with the gun barrel and stepped out with long strides.

On Fire Island.

Aske woke up from his bed.

Yesterday, I was inspected by Medea and Nora and fell asleep without realizing it, as I was really tired.

Perhaps one of the girls carried me back... Aske thought, and hurriedly checked his clothes.

Fortunately, his clothes were still on.

Yesterday, Eleanor was guarding the ancient book outside, so today it should be Nora’s turn. He thought of asking her about the digestion situation of the "Spirit Body IV" Magic Potion... With this thought, Aske quickly washed up and teleported away from Fire Island.

In the next second, he appeared on top of a carriage carrying Henry’s relics.

Aske: ??

The attendant knight: ??

Fortunately, they quickly recognized that this young man was Miss Eleanor’s squad leader; they promptly rode over to inquire:

"Sir, how come you..."

Aske asked urgently, "Where is Eleanor?"

"The miss stayed at the camp last night and said she would come over again today..."

Damn! Aske suddenly understood what this knight lady intended to do.

In fact, since yesterday, he had noticed something off about Eleanor; she seemed to have overcome the grief of losing her brother too quickly!

Now it seemed she had turned her grief into hate!

She was going to assassinate the Emperor!

Without taking more time to discuss with the attendant knight, Aske jumped off the carriage and struck a blow in mid-air.

With his current immense physical power, the attendant knight was knocked off his horse by a single blow, skillfully controlled so as not to injure him.

Then, Aske landed on the saddle, tugged vigorously at the reins, and drove the warhorse to swiftly turn back towards the direction of the Empire’s allied forces camp.

Switching back to the Empire’s military camp, today Emperor Otto, led by the Blade Warriors, started inspecting the camp with great enthusiasm again.

Although these soldiers and knights were currently just cannon fodder, the moment the next Magic Tide suddenly struck, these cannon fodders, like pawns moving to the bottom of a chessboard, could instantly upgrade into more lethal pieces, initiating a powerful deterrence and attack on the Church Court.

Therefore, despite morale continuing to plummet, Emperor Otto still insisted on inspecting the camp daily, maintaining stability, and giving speeches, trying to rally the soldiers’ sparse hopes for victory.

Of course, considering the frequent assassination attempts by some defeatists, along with the despicable assassinations by the Church lurking in dark corners, there are now several squads of Blade Warriors guarding the Emperor, along with several Demigods taking turns every day to monitor the surroundings, guarding against various possible attacks.

These attacks usually occurred at places that would stop the Emperor, such as the training field, military supplies tent, dormitory area entrance, cooking area, or speaking platforms, emerging explosively among the crowd.

It would be impossible to just block the Emperor’s procession in the middle of the road.

However, when a peculiar, fully armed knight who covered his face and carried a ridiculous weapon combination of a sword and a long spear did appear right in front of the Emperor’s advancing path, the Blade Warriors still displayed extreme vigilance.

"Make way!" Several Blade Warriors came forward immediately, intending to subdue this bold or reckless knight. The remaining Blade Warriors stood in front of the Emperor, ready to shield him from any dangerous bullets, spells, or assassin’s sudden attacks.

"Your Majesty!" Instead of immediately dodging, the knight shouted.

"Wait." The Emperor stopped the advancing Blade Warriors, "It sounds like he has something to say to Us."

Since the knight boldly blocked the Emperor and posed a gesture of wanting to communicate, the Emperor naturally responded.

Otherwise, if he just decisively took him down without distinguishing right from wrong, the Emperor would also lose face in encouraging morale in his speeches, especially with so many soldiers and knights watching outside.
