Episode 273
EPISODE.137
It was already two months ago.
An unknown tension began to arise in Endymion’s royal capital.
It was immediately after the war with the Empire that tensions first arose.
As an ominous purple color painted the sky and the boundary between day and night disappeared, there was no way I wouldn’t feel nervous.
However, the tension now is a little different from then.
Chuck, Chuck, Chuck-.
Troops from all over the continent begin to gather.
The current tension was the tension that arose as the troops gathered in this way established a camp on the outskirts of Endymion’s capital.
The number of troops gathered from seven countries is approximately 200,000. Compared to Endymion’s entire army, the number is not that large.
However, since the founding of the nation, Endymion had never once allowed a foreign enemy to invade the capital.
With as many as 200,000 soldiers from other countries flocking to such a country, tension was bound to arise.
Of course, that tension continued until today.
After today’s departure ceremony, all the soldiers who caused tension will leave the capital.
“We are ready. your majesty.”
The King, Alfonso Latmos, nodded slightly at the chamberlain’s words and walked slowly.
Tap, tap, tap.
As he steps on the steps leading up to the high platform, Alfonso Latmos’s momentum begins to change.
The old man, who had been exhausted from long meetings and stress, was gone, and the lion-like spirit unique to the Endymion royal family began to take over.
The momentum reached its peak when Alfonso Ratmos’ steps reached the top of the podium.
Thump, thump, thump, thump-.
With the sound of drums echoing everywhere, the entire area becomes as quiet as ever.
Meanwhile, Alfonso Ratmos looked down from the podium.
I checked the faces of those who were being inspected.
The number of soldiers gathered together, both from our own country and from other countries, is approximately one million.
The greater number of troops than when they set out to conquer the empire shows the seriousness of the situation.
Hwioooo-.
The King opened his mouth as he noticed the military flags of each country waving loudly in the wind.
“It’s a hopeless situation.”
Rumbling rumbling-.
“The empire that claimed to be the most powerful on the continent lost its function as a nation, and its vast territory has long been overrun by the dead and monsters.”
The voice amplified by magic spreads out in all directions and covers the entire plain.
“The suffering of the people and refugees of the fallen country has reached its peak, and the repercussions are spreading not only to the empire but also to neighboring countries.”
A voice so clear that it can reach the soldiers in the front row as well as the back row.
“So, in order to overcome this situation, our country seeks to drive out the dead and demons that occupy the empire’s territory and subdue the imperial capital, which is the source of it… … .”
Chaang-!
The ceremonial longsword drawn from his waist shines and sparkles.
“Is there a country that shares the same will with our Endymion!?”
There were people who spoke out.
“We will do that together.”
Cheokcheok-.
Among the foreign troops gathered on the outskirts of Endymion, one knight wearing silver armor stepped forward and shouted.
He was holding a sword, the symbol of a knight, in one hand, and a shield with a green deer symbol in the other.
“A total of 10 knights and 2 legions, including the Jade Deer Knights belonging to Kiyel. “I will be with Endymion.”
That was the beginning.
“A total of four knights including the Red Eagle Knights belonging to the Naze Alliance. The three legions will also join Endymion.”
“Belonging to Ergien… … .”
One by one, the representatives of the seven countries began to come forward and raise their voices.
It was not an impromptu event, but an event that had already been discussed a month in advance.
Nevertheless, the reason for going through this cumbersome event was simple.
To declare that it is an alliance created with one purpose and to give soldiers a sense of belonging.
“Belonging to Virginia… … .”
The Kingdom of Virginia, the weakest country, was the last to gather and declared that all the countries gathered together would agree.
The King, Alfonso Ratmos, checked him and winked.
Woe!
A flag flew high as if waiting for the signal.
Black and white.
A flag that is divided into two, with the sun and moon floating in the center of each color.
It is a flag that graphically expresses the will of the Union to drive out this purple sky and restore day and night.
fluttering-.
The King continued speaking as he noticed the huge flag fluttering in the wind created by Amelia Merwin, the Lord of the White Tower.
“Okay. On behalf of your cause, I, King of Endymion. “I announce that the ‘Day and Night’ League has been founded in the name of Alfonso Ratmos!”
thud-!
It was announced with a heavy foot cloud and lion-like momentum.
“A bio that declares that we are one under this flag!”
As if they had been waiting, a thunderous roar erupted.
“Day and Night Alliance!”

“Long live the day and night alliance!”
The military spirit fluctuates unusually, and the military flags of each country flutter in the wind.
The King held the sword tightly, as if gathering all of their energy and aspirations into the tip of the sword, and Hemingway, who was waiting under the podium, secretly snapped his fingers.
Taaak-.
Then, a bright sword light begins to pour down through the sword body.
It was a common production, but there was something about it that made people’s hearts beat.
“All troops—!”
The king roared, aiming his sword with sword light pouring in the direction of the empire.
“—Go forth!”
After nearly a month of meetings and another month of coordination, an alliance was created to eliminate the dead and demons and purify the imperial capital of the empire.
It was the launch of the Day and Night Alliance.
“Waaaaah-!!!”
.
.
Daria turned her head as she heard the king’s shout.
As I caught a glimpse of the direction Russell was likely to be in, I recalled the conversation I had had with the King a month earlier.
“I know I’m asking too much of you, but I have no other place to ask.”
It’s been at most a month since I came back from the dead alive.
No matter how much the king said to his subjects, the king himself felt that it was shameless to ask him to go to the battlefield again after a month.
What’s more, isn’t it a situation where we can’t even hold proper funerals for those who died in the battle, including Nicolo?
Hemingway responded to the king’s words.
“it’s okay. your majesty.”
“… … ?”
“It’s not that I can understand the mind of the dead, but I don’t think Nicolo would want to have a funeral with such monsters left behind.”
In order for him to be able to rest in peace, we need to get rid of those guys.
Hemingway responded like that, and the emperor nodded.
“Thank you. Then Sir Daria… … .”
“This old man will also come forward.”
She clenched her fists and looked determined.
“Aren’t they monsters related to the emperor who made the youngest child like that? Everything, not a single thing left behind… … .”
He said with his eyes filled with naturalization burning.
“I will be relieved only if I burn them all to death.”
It was an incredibly strong magical power considering that he had not been able to eat or drink properly for almost a month.
This is proof that her magical power is burning with wrath as fuel.
Hemingway’s face hardened at that sight.
Because it was not a good thing for a wizard. However, it doesn’t matter to Daria.
The only thing left for her was revenge on the man who made Russell like that, and hatred for herself for having to remain helpless until he was like that… … .
With that memory, Daria’s consciousness returns to the present again.
Then she clicked her lips.
She had already lost a child once. It is natural to react more sensitively to feelings of loss and disappearance than anyone else.
Daria turned around, feeling the fishy blood flowing into her mouth.
“I will never forgive the person who made you like that. “You’re the youngest.”
Soon she disappeared.
Hemingway was the only one left standing, staring at Daria’s back as she walked away.
Suddenly, with a meaningful look… … .
And they didn’t know.
What kind of changes are taking place inside Russell, who remains in the royal capital? And─.
‘What on earth is this place?’
How far Russell’s consciousness has reached… … .
They didn’t know.
* * *
“Ugh… … .”
How long had he been unconscious? Russell slowly stood up, feeling a tingling sensation on one of his temples.
I pushed aside the pure white blanket that covered me and got up from the soft bed.
It’s an unfamiliar ceiling.
No, it was an unfamiliar room.
Columns carved from marble, floors and ceilings also made of shiny marble.
Unusually, it was a room without even a single window.
Nevertheless, far from being frustrating, it feels sacred.
Russell came down from the bed, thinking that the sacred energy in the room felt somehow familiar.
‘What happened?’
As I relaxed my body here and there, I slowly recalled my memories.
Why did I wake up here? He went back through his memories of him.
‘I fought a cultist disguised as an emperor─.’
He clearly pierced the emperor’s body using the Fire Spear… … The moment I think about that, an exhilarating electric current spreads through my entire body, as if struck by lightning.
The last memory that comes to mind with him.
From the emperor who uttered curse words to the existence of foreign gods who looked into this material world from outside the world.
‘After that, what happened after that?’
Seeing that he was alive and well, it was clear that things had proceeded somehow, but Russell, who was thinking about this, suddenly felt something strange and looked down.
Swish-.
I looked around my body and muttered to myself.
‘My body feels so fine.’
It is unknown how long he lay there. However, it is a body that has fought a fierce battle.
If the time spent lying down was short, the aftereffects should remain, and if it was long, the aftereffects of not moving the body for a long time should remain.
But unlike him, his body was just fine.
‘First, let’s figure out where this place is.’
With that thought in mind, Russell took a step forward.
Like the rest of the room, the door carved from pure white marble was opened.
Rattling-.
Then, the appearance outside the door was not much different from the inside of the room.
A row of pure white octagonal pillars support the high ceiling, and a corridor with passages extending to the left and right.
It’s like… … .
‘Temple?’
As I tilted my head thinking that, I heard someone’s voice coming from one end of the hallway.
“oh. “Are you awake?”
The only difference is that the eye color is black.
Tall with black hair.
A young man with a face that looked exactly like Russell’s was looking at him from the end of the corridor and waving his hand.
