episode_0129

A revolution by bandits and the people, an invasion by the greedy kingdom alliance, and even an attack by demons hiding in the alliance.

After three unprecedented wars, the surrounding areas of the Margal Kingdom were devastated.

The once brilliant Margal Kingdom has completely disappeared.

But there was still something shining brightly.

“ won! We won!”

“Ha, haha! Surviving in this hell… … .”

“I can’t believe it, but the strong smell of the demons’ fishy blood is wafting in the air.”

“Boss, I want to go back quickly and have a drink. Except wine.”

“Tsbeol, I can’t even drink wine for a while.”

“Khaha! Apparently, the blood of demons looks like wine.”

“Captain, we have completed assessing the damage.”

“The injured are evacuated to the rear where the priests are, and the dead are… … Cover your face with a white cloth. I’m planning to send it to you in a coffin later.”

“Yep! Okay!”

The fierce battle with the demons has ended.

Soldiers from other kingdoms, bandits from the Brothers, and knights from the Holy Kingdom showed different reactions.

The one thing they all had in common was that the sweat flowing down their cheeks was shining brightly.

“Umm… .”

After the situation calmed down a bit, the atmosphere of relief lingered for a moment and then disappeared.

Although they came together to fight the demons, who could be said to be the common enemy, the other factions, except for the Seongguk, were originally hostile.

If it weren’t for the intervention of the demons, it wouldn’t be strange at all for them to be biting and tearing at each other where they are now.

However, since they had been fighting with each other’s backs just moments ago, it was awkward to fight now.

“Keuhum! Hehehe! I took a quick look around and it seemed like you were the leader of this group. Is that correct?”

“There is a separate boss, but what’s the use anyway? Do you want to join us?”

“Oh, don’t get me wrong! I didn’t come here with that in mind; rather, I came here with the opposite intention.”

“If we are opposed, are you saying we should reconcile?”

“Not until complete peace. The affairs of the country are not decided by us, but by the higher-ups… … .”

“There is a temporary truce.”

“That’s right.”

Both camps are exhausted from fighting the demons.

In this situation, fighting each other was nothing more than a pointless war of attrition.

First, go back to your home country, report what just happened, and wait for the decision of your superiors.

It was unknown whether this would lead to the opening of the war or whether it would end in the end.

‘The former possibility is probably strong, but… … .’

Although victory was announced, the damage caused by the demons was severe and resulted in numerous casualties.

This incident has been left as a terrible memory for the soldiers, so if we understand their pain, we will not urge war.

However, there was no way for the king and nobles to know about the soldiers’ difficulties.

They were viewed as expendable items, and even when an accident occurred and public anger arose, they often avoided blaming their subordinates for responsibility.

‘They’ll probably handle this by shifting responsibility for this situation to the incompetent captain who ran away.’

And it was expected that the soldiers would be sent to the battlefield again.

He wanted to prevent war somehow, but there was no reason to turn his back on the will of the kingdom.

All kingdoms were on high alert to prevent a revolution that could not be resolved by force.

This is a situation where you have to criticize. Even when I got angry, I just blamed myself for being helpless.

“What’s wrong? 똥 마려운 개새끼처럼?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

If the bandits or the Holy Kingdom had not intervened, instead of winning, all the soldiers would have been annihilated.

No matter how dire their situation was, they could not show their ugly side in front of their benefactors.

“ Regarding this matter, Bio expresses his gratitude to the Margal Kingdom and the Holy Kingdom on behalf of Allied Forces Vice Commander Nosre Dam.”

“Unit commander? Where is the captain going?”

“He ran away.”

“Puhaha! Did everyone hear it? They say their leader ran away.”

“Is that really true? Even though our leader is weak, he doesn’t abandon us and run away!”

“This bastard is secretly giving me a thumbs up?”

After hearing Nosredam’s story, the bandits started laughing hard on the spot.

The soldiers of the Kingdom Alliance all bowed their heads in shame.

However, among the soldiers, there were bound to be some who could not control their boiling blood.

“According to the rumor, I heard that there is a guy called the leader of the bandits!”

“That’s right! The top head, the Great Boss, wasn’t even visible there!”

“You are in no position to mock us!”

“Shut up!”

As several soldiers stood up, Nosredam urgently shouted and stopped them.

Even though they were ridiculed and embarrassed to the point of death, the Kingdom Alliance had to accept it graciously when they received help from the enemy.

But what kind of disgrace is this now?

The repulsion they expressed because they were ridiculed by the bandits actually cost them their reputation.

“I’m sorry. I am responsible for my subordinates’ mistakes, so I apologize formally… … .”

“Listen carefully, you guys. Our leader didn’t come out because he was scared.”

Agil cut off Nosredam’s apple midway and grinned at the soldiers.

Like a local man, Agil leaned back on his sword and began to talk.

“The boss respected our wishes and did not participate in the war. Why? That’s because if the boss had been here, not only the demon guy but us as well might have been swept away.”

“That’s right, that’s right. If you were here, I would have run away a long time ago.”

“Is it just you? All of the bandits must have run away?”

“Honestly, I’m more scared of the boss than the demons.”

“Oh! I’ll pass those words on to the boss!”

“No! no! You may be very cute, but your power is scary!”

All the bandits who were lying down and resting all agreed with Egil’s words.

There was no sense of lies or flattery at all in the way everyone, not just one person, was waving their hands in disgust.

A being with such overwhelming strength that even allies are afraid of it.

I couldn’t understand the evaluation that he was cute, but I knew that he was definitely close to a peerless hero.

‘What kind of person is the leader who leads them? … .’

It was at that time that I thought I would like to meet Northerdam at least once.

“Wow!”

“What, what?!”

Gugugugugugung-!

The ground began to shake so much that cracks appeared in the ground.

All the birds in the forest flew into the sky, and the war horses shouted in unison, making a fuss.

Eventually, the tower hidden between the trees rose tall, and a turtle’s head popped out from above the tree.

“Oh my god! What kind of turtle is that big?”

“Demon, is it a demonic beast?”

“That guy alone could easily survive the bandits for a month, right?”

“But why is there a tower on top of the shell?”

Those on the battlefield were shocked by the appearance of the giant turtle.

When everyone is exhausted from the battle with the demons, a turtle attacks them.

They absolutely had to stop it, but neither the bandits nor the Union soldiers had ever dealt with a giant turtle before, so they were just confused.

“Yay! Guys! It’s here! Here!”

“Huh?”

A young voice came from the tower hanging on top of the shell.

When everyone raised their heads, they saw a young girl waving her hand at the window of the tower.

“How could such a young girl be in such a dangerous place!”

“Large, large tree?”

“What?!”

Northredam could not help but believe his eyes and ears.

***

2 hours before the turtle wakes up.

Due to their subordinates’ dissuasion, the twins could not fight and just watched from the castle wall.

Lips was calm, but Eclec, who had a mischievous temperament, could not understand his situation.

“I’m bored! I want to fight too!”

“Please be patient. You know that if you get involved in a melee like that, you could cause harm not only to the demons but also to other people.”

“Just be careful and fight!”

“You almost made your subordinates into eunuchs when you said that last time, right?”

“Well, that was an unfortunate incident that occurred while I was here to help Eclectic… … . Anyway, it’s not Eclec’s fault!”

“Your shamelessness is still the same.”

“But it’s boring! I would be calm if my brother was by my side, but that’s not the case.”

“There are definitely quite a few days without seeing my brother.”

“Please let Eclec fight too! If that doesn’t work, give me your brother!”

Lips sighed at the immature older sister who only made unreasonable demands.

I was looking around like a puppy, wondering if I should take Ecle for a walk somewhere.

Lips happened to discover a tower hidden between trees.

“Sister, do you see that?”

“What is it?”

“The black tower in the forest.”

“Yes, I can see it well!”

“Isn’t it suspicious that it’s a tower we’ve never seen before? There might be a demon coming out of there.”

“Oh! That makes sense!”

“It’s far away from the battlefield, so it doesn’t seem to be a problem even if my sister causes trouble. Why not go there?”

“Let’s go right now!”

Eclectic is happy that he finally has something to do.

Lips took a breath, saying she had barely silenced her sister’s complaints.

So the twins slipped out without their subordinates knowing and headed toward the forest.

“It must have been like this?”

“I think I need to go a little further.”

“You know. Don’t you feel good because your body is warm for some reason?”

“Sure. I expected there to be an evil spirit, but it was quite the opposite. With this kind of energy, there won’t be any demons, right?”

“No! This guy really wants to fight!”

Twins chatting loudly while walking in the forest.

Before I knew it, I had reached the black tower I had been looking for, and there I had an unexpected encounter.

Sunlight coming through the leaves was shining on a woman.

She, who had beautiful platinum hair, turned around at the sight of the twins.

“Eccle, Lips. It’s been a while.”

“It’s Alaina’s sister!”

“What were you doing here?”

“I was looking around normally.”

“Yes? Aren’t you supposed to be commanding the knights?”

“Sure. I don’t know why, but a very nostalgic feeling led me here. Don’t you think it’s something you can’t miss?”

Alaina, who was a humble sword, was reborn as a holy sword after receiving the first warrior’s holy sword and divine power.

However, as her status rose instantly due to external forces and her personality was just formed, Alaina did not remember the first warrior.

However, he came here because he resonated with the divine power of the first warrior flowing from the tower.

“Would you like to see the tower together?”

“I like this club!”

“I like it too.”

Alaina and the twins entered the tower together.

I walked around the inside and carefully looked to see if any special secrets were hidden, but unfortunately, there was no result.

It was just an ordinary spire with nothing placed inside.

Even though he eventually reached the top floor, Eclec was disheartened by the fact that there was nothing there.

“I’ve never seen a tower this boring before!”

“It’s amazing that this tower is not even known for what reason it was built.”

“Should I just go back?”

“I don’t mind though… … .”

Unlike the twins who thought they had come for no reason, Alaina did not say anything.

Just stroking the inner wall of the tower, lost in thought.

I was about to ask her what she was thinking so deeply about. The tragedy came suddenly.

A large-scale earthquake occurred directly below, and the entire tower began to shake.

“Gasp! It must have been a trap!”

“Let’s get out quickly!”

“Wait!”

The twins decided that it was dangerous and tried to jump through the open window, but Alaina stopped them.

“What’s wrong?”

“I don’t have time for this! Let’s get out before the tower collapses!”

“You don’t have to do that.”

“What? What do you mean?”

“Even in this situation, you don’t have to go out?”

“I may not understand it, but this tower… No, the will of the creature beneath the tower is being conveyed to me.”

“There was a creature under the tower?”

“It’s true, sister! There really was a turtle under the ground!”

When I looked at the window, I saw a turtle’s head sticking its head forward.

A turtle that looks unusual at first glance.

The two looked at each other in amazement as they heard that the turtle and Alaina were communicating.

“So what is Mr. Turtle saying?”

“They say they came to pick us up.”

“Ecycles?”

“Where we should be. To the journey that is the starting point and end of all destiny… … .”

After conveying his intentions to Alaina, Molturtle began heading south.

And after that, the Holy Kingdom, the bandits, and even the unrelated soldiers of the Kingdom Alliance were following along.
