I extracted information from the knights I had subdued through the forest, but they didn’t have the information I wanted.

but.

“There is a tunnel connected to the underground city in the Lugardrian underground waterway?”

Count Ishur had some startling information.

A tunnel… a typical method.

“This is ridiculous!”

Even Cat Kitt Company was involved in this.

At this fact, Count Ishur began to become enraged.

“nyaha- I, I don’t know anything. It doesn’t concern me!”

Pina quickly cut off Catkit Store’s hand.

Well, if Pina had been scammed by the Catkit Company in the first place, then it would be right for her to do that.

“Thank you, Fores. Without Fores, our Lugardrian would have allowed those wicked rats to invade.”

“Do you plan on blocking him yourself, Viscount Ishur?”

“Of course. And I will use this incident as an excuse to thoroughly expose all the atrocities committed by Catkit Company.”

“Good luck.”

I’ll skip over the tunnel issue since it’s a noble’s business, and I’ll go with the new people I’ve met.

“Mom… I said we’re not moving.”

Colin’s son, who was moved to the point of almost being kidnapped, was confused by the sudden situation.

“Haha, our Aida, please bear with it. Mom, I have to earn money. I’ll work hard for two years and then come back to Lugardrian.”

“Huh?”

Who would want to work for only two years?

I plan to roll with her until I get my principal back.

“I feel chills.”

“Sian, what are you going to do with this cat?”

“What? Pina, are you still following me?”

“Please take me too! I won’t hesitate to do anything!”

The sight of Pina following me like a piece of gum was absurd.

She doesn’t have a cat kit shop, so frankly, she doesn’t need it anymore.

“I think it’s okay to take it.”

“Where are you going to use it?”

“At least since you were a peddler, can’t you use me as your proxy during pregnancy? Also, since you’ll learn a bit about the geography of this area, I think you can use it to trade in the land that Lord Xi’an will rule.”

“Hmm… If Elsia says so, there’s nothing I can do. Pina, you can ride in the carriage.”

“Hnyaa-thank you. Thank you so much!”

So, hiring Pina, we headed straight to the village of Lugeron.

It was a long distance, about three days away.

‘If you put your mind to it, it’s a distance you can get there in one step.’

I drew a map of the surrounding area in my head, roughly guessing the distance by eye.

“Hey, warrior… ”

“Fores, what’s going on?”

As I was observing the surroundings from the carriage, Fores relayed the information to me with a thoughtful face.

“We have received a call from the Holy Kingdom’s Communications Department. The second apostle, Helen, is currently surrounded by Hadron forces.”

“What?”

The sudden news made my head spin again.

Of course, it was just a moment. I asked Fores right away.

“Where is that?”

“Oh, yes! That is the current location known as the Storm Plains. It is about 300km northwest of here.”

“Looking at the location, it was Count Gu Anitul’s territory.”

“Yes.”

“Gregor, do you know anything about the Storm Plains?”

In response to my question, Gregor immediately blurted out all the information he knew.

“I didn’t visit there often because lightning would strike periodically, but I know that Count Anitul’s dirty workmen would often visit there with their slaves.”

“Slave Market, so there must be a tunnel connected to Hadron there. What are the characteristics of the Storm Plains?”

“It is higher in altitude than other regions, has many yellow flowers, and dark clouds gather at night.”

“Okay.”

I gave instructions to everyone, roughly drawn on a map in my brain.

“Please return the carriage to the village as it is. Gregor, get off at Baron Hipro’s territory and, as my vassal, prepare for any possible attack with Baron Hipro. If that area is breached, it will be the village of Lugeron.”

“Okay.”

“Fores, please vouch for Gregor to Baron Hippo instead of me. That knight is a bit of a coward even if you look at him like that.”

“Krrr!”

“Warrior, are you thinking of running to Storm Hill alone?”

“I think I’ll get there early.”

I would have liked to take Gregor, who was well-versed in the geography of the other side, or Colin, who had visited many places as an adventurer, but there was not enough time to keep up with their pace.

“Mr. Xian, just in case, please take a horse with you.”

“It’s okay. I speak faster than you.”

“Yes?”

Nabira gave me advice, but unfortunately it was useless to me.

“Elsia, I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“Just leave it to me.”

“Brother Xi’an, be careful.”

“Thank you.”

After patting Elin’s head and sharing a quick kiss with Elsia, I ran straight in the direction Fores had pointed out.

“Wow~ My nephew, he’s so fast.”

Colin’s thick exclamation rang in my ears, but I tried to ignore it.

. . .

“If I get back safely, I’ll marry him.”

“You don’t have a boyfriend.”

“I’ll do it even if it’s not there.”

“Isn’t that a crime?”

The Second Knights of the Holy Kingdom were surrounded by Hadron’s forces.

At first, they were at odds with each other.

Even though Hadron was called one of the three great evils, he was not enough to destroy the Second Knight Division of the Holy Kingdom.

However, the situation of the war turned dire as the nobles who were vassals of Count Anitul joined Hadron’s forces.

The knights had not anticipated their betrayal in the first place.

why?

Because in the thousand-year history of the empire, there has never been an instance of nobles joining the evil forces.

What they have done now is treason against the emperor.

It was a sin that a citizen of the empire, or even a noble who knew the history of the empire, would never commit.

“Aren’t you afraid of the black sky over there?”

“Maybe that’s what Hadron is after.”

“Black Sky? Have those guys forgotten what happened to them a thousand years ago?”

“I don’t know, but there’s no chance of winning from the front. If the sky gets dark, at least we can kill all the western people.”

“I will become the Donggwijin recorded in history.”

Although the knights were chatting amongst themselves and sorting out the situation, it wouldn’t have been strange if their formation collapsed at any time.

“I’m sorry, everyone.”

“No, Mama.”

Helen was now a wreck.

It was the aftereffect of a miracle that was used continuously.

This was due to the hadron trap.

“Mama, they used a wicked trick. So don’t blame yourself.”

If it was a normal trap, it wouldn’t have worked on Helen, who was close to being a pure-blooded nymph.

However, a thousand years ago, during the Old Kingdom era, Hadron, who had slaughtered and studied nymphs more than anyone else, knew the nymphs’ weaknesses well.

If there are difficult people, they take advantage of the nymph’s good nature and sell it to the limit.

By planting bombs in the bodies of unrelated townspeople.

As a result, Camilla was left to fight the Hadron soldiers alone to protect everyone, while the knights fighting to protect Helen were being chased by Count Anitul’s noble forces.

“Everyone, surrender. They are after my body, the second apostle.”

“Okay, mama. If I’m going to get cussed out by them, I’d rather fight till the end.”

“That’s right. Where would a daughter hand over her own mother?”

“Everyone… ”

All of the knights of the 2nd Knights’ Division were children raised by Helen herself.

I watched them grow from the time they began to walk until they became adults and knights.

To them, Helen was their mother, and they were Helen’s daughters.

Such daughters were willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

At that fact, Helen’s eyes turned red, in a way that was not befitting of the years she had accumulated.

at that time.

thud!

In the stormy plains, who jumped fearlessly high into the sky?

As if ignoring Taranis, the god of lightning and punishment.

Kkurung, bang!

Eventually, the remnants of Taranis, unable to tolerate his arrogance, punished him.

But it wasn’t lightning that fell from the sky, and it certainly wasn’t the man who had been punished by Taranis.

that…

“■■■!”

It was a roar.

The roar of the Titans, the mountain army that once made the gods tremble in fear and commanded the world.

“Ahh… ”

When I first met him, he was just a little tiger.

Originally, the Titans did not have the divine nature that they were born with, and they could not control the vast power of the Holy Spirit.

But not now.

By swallowing the divine legacy, he became divine and began to freely manipulate divine powers such as the ocean.

He had now grown into a full-fledged Titan, and as his teacher who had taught him for a short while, I couldn’t help but be happy.

“You’ve grown so much already without me even noticing.”

He passed by the knights who had died screaming in one roar, stood blankly in front of Helen, scratched his head, and spoke cautiously.

“Sorry.”

“???”

“Because I broke my promise not to use roar. From now on, I won’t use it even in an emergency.”

Helen laughed inwardly at his words.

Her eyes were red a moment ago, but not now.

She said with the most loving smile in the world.

“It’s okay. Now, Mr. Cian, you are a proper Titan.”

“Really?”

It wasn’t an empty promise.

With a roar that commanded the world, Cheonho’s gaze watching this place was filled with more joy than before.

Of course, no one knew whether it was the joy of seeing their child grow or the appetite for new prey to devour.
