#85
“… At that time, the vassals’ antipathy towards Lord was great. The aftereffects of the change in race led to internal chaos, and there was no unity among the symbols, so the Grand Duke’s control was weakened and management was difficult. What was handed down to Rod was very fragmentary, so there were limits to conveying the exact reality of his country. So the Grand Duke made that choice to protect Rhodes and control the empire.”
Actually, there would have been an option to kill him and start over, but Ruhak didn’t do that. After the tribe changed, the trustworthiness of all vassals became zero. Even though it was an urgent situation where a riot could occur, Ruhak made a different choice.
To save the empire.
I don’t know why. Sehyeon still vividly remembered the distrust the vassals had towards him at that time. Still, he did not want to give up, and he persistently talked to each and every one of them and tried to count his vassals.
It was 15 days later that trust, which seemed like it would never build up, began to rise. At that time, as much as it was difficult to build, there was still a long way to go. That was the most difficult time.
“It’s different now.”
I felt a hand grasping the back of my hand tightly. In fact, even after his situation stabilized, Ruhak did not say anything about taking out his wings. He may have acted that way considering that Se-hyun would later become the same species through attribute fusion.
Now that fusion has failed, it is said that it has no choice but to act as a symbol, but from Ruhak’s perspective, it may not have been something he wanted to do. Taste is a separate issue.
No, maybe Sehyun is someone who brings nostalgia to them.
“Whatever the road looks like, we will follow it. So for now… different.”
Gael began to lead Sehyeon forward. He looked in the direction and found it was towards the dining room of the castle tower. Se-hyeon gestured towards Yoo Si-woon, who was now far away. Yoo Si-woon, who had been blinking his black eyes for a long time, began to run away only when Se-hyeon lowered his hand.
Contrary to expectations, Se-hyeon could not go to Kwak Jeong-han. No, he couldn’t even eat properly and had to run out of the restaurant. The first reason was because of the alarm bells ringing in every corner of the empire, and the second reason was because of an urgent communication from the Engineering Empire.
When Yu Si-un and I headed to the top floor of Burinake Castle Tower, Se-hyeon smelled the smell of dust passing the tip of his nose. When he turned his head and looked beyond the gateway to the empire, he saw dust blowing like a gust of wind beneath the gloomy clouds, approaching the empire at an alarming speed.
The moment a lightning-like light flashed, a world-shattering roar and an earthquake struck the empire. In the meantime, Gyeongjong was changed to an alert and the anti-communist stance was shifted.
[Alert level 1, emergency evacuation order issued.]
[Warning level 2, orders soldiers level or higher to go to war, permits vassals to go out.]
“Mr. Shiwoon, are you okay?”
“yes yes… I’m OK.”
Sehyun turned her head and looked for Yoo Si-woon. Yu Si-un was squatting in the corner of the hallway with his head covered. Sehyun supported him and headed to Ruhak’s office. In the office, Ruhak was standing leaning against the desk, holding a document. And in front of it.
[You came.]
Sehyun’s gaze turned to the other side of Ruhak. In a place where one side of the office was separated like another space, there was a man. He crossed one leg and welcomed Sehyeon with a smile. It was Fan, the Lord of the Engineering Empire.
[Welcome back.]
“Are those things outside right now, Mr. Fen’s work?”
[I’m not sure what the situation is, but it probably is. I can’t see you right now because I’m communicating.]
That meant that the fan was also waiting somewhere nearby. Sehyeon’s eyes looked at the surrounding scenery. The vast sky filled with the magic stone wave device and the huge window visible over his shoulder gave us an idea of where it was.
He was currently inside the airship.
[I can help you.]
“That’s it.”
[Then, first, I will briefly provide information on the invading countries.]
“No, that’s not necessary either.”
Sehyeon spoke succinctly. He smiled lazily, resting his chin as if asking if he would be okay. If this was a situation where he had to prove that he was ‘healthy’, Sehyun was willing to confirm it.
12 heroes, 30 knights, 500 warriors and 2,000 mercenaries. And up to 30,000 soldiers.
Behia was already fully prepared to block the invasion. All that was left was to show.
“Just sit there and watch. “Our kids will never lose.”
With those words, Sehyun turned and left the office. The place I walked quickly to was a terrace with a view of the empire. I heard footsteps behind me. Sehyeon opened his mouth as he looked beyond the gatehouse where a gust of wind blew.
“Ruhak.”
As soon as I finished speaking, news of an airship sortie flashed across my field of vision.
[The 21st Air Force Fleet’s ‘Mapok Airship’ is ordered to deploy, and all airships in the hangar are to sortie.]
[Alert level 3, switches the empire to ‘defense posture’.]
[Alert Level 4, ‘Magic Wave Heat’ is activated. It takes approximately 150 minutes to maintain power.]
During that period of time when there was no contact from Fan, Sehyun wasn’t just idle. He worked hard to keep the heroes and knights in top condition, and completed quite a few promotions for warriors and mercenaries.
“Management window.”
A system window appeared in front of Sehyun. The number of vassals available to participate and the status of the heroes’ sorties were clearly revealed before my eyes. Everyone in front of me is in excellent condition.
Sehyeon followed the sight of the heroes heading towards the castle gate on a strange three-headed horse. Despite the disaster that came before their eyes, the heroes did not show the slightest signs of agitation. The strong back conveyed faith and trust to Sehyeon.
There were three empires that came through the invasion portal beyond the wasteland. Dozens of airships surrounded the empire, and tens of thousands of troops below them shouted and raised their swords and spears towards the Black Empire. He looked like he was trembling.
The moment light flashed through the dark clouds, an ear-piercing noise echoed throughout the world. Starting with the sound of a clanging sound, the horses the heroes rode spread their wings and leapt up into the air. A brilliant light emerged between them.
It was a silver and blue sword. At the same time that dawn-like light swept through the dust, tens of thousands of armies collided as if swept by waves.
Sehyeon immediately opened his inventory and took out a potion that had been completed as a test product. It was a potion that mixed physical strength and magical power, completed with the help of Yu Si-un. Although he wasn’t able to add the detox effect, he had also finished making a separate detox potion.
“I’ll come forward too.”
A strong wind passed by Sehyeon. Black wings grazed his cheek and quickly flew into the air. The black wings, spread out so large that they obscured the view, cut through the sky and headed towards the battlefield at high speed.
It was an unusual event for Ruhak to come forward in person. The only time he stepped forward was when there were many casualties or when there was an invasion by an empire whose national power was comparable to that of the empire.
It was said that the matter was that serious. When I turned on the status window, I saw my magic and stamina stats. Based on one bottle of potion, the current duration of <Depth of Love> was at most 25 seconds. Even that might not have worked.
Still, it was better than nothing. Sehyun poured the potion and drank it straight.
‘<Depth of Grace>’
[‘Allies’ cast the wide area buff ‘Depth of Grace LV.1’.]
Sehyeon held on to the railing and looked for his retainers dividing the battlefield. A sword and spear adorned with the wings and wings of a huge horse are visible through the dust. An ax that cuts down enemies. A hundred arrows chasing our allies. A huge explosion sound accompanied by the airship’s magic cannon.
Everything passed through my mind like a blur.
“under… .”
In an instant, I became short of breath and a feeling of weakness came over my entire body. Sehyeon sat down, holding on to the railing. I felt Yoo Si-un running up and shouting, but I couldn’t hear him clearly because the sound was so blurry.
The only thing that supported my shaky vision was the letters that appeared.

You went up.
A smile spread across Sehyun’s lips. The figure for how much she loves has risen since last time. As soon as she confirmed it, her vision blurred white. Sehyeon drank the potion again.
“Sehyun! Sehyeon… ! Uh, what should I do… ! Sehyeon, come to your senses! Sehyeon! “You can’t lose your mind!”
The sound of words that had been spreading finally seemed to settle down. Yu Si-woon was shouting in a voice that sounded like he was about to cry. Sehyun soothed his mouth and then closed his mouth again as if he had swallowed bitter water. Foam spread across my vision, and the panoramic view of the battlefield passed by, just like that day.
From the first hero with blood-splattered cheeks, to all the knights, warriors, and mercenaries who roam the battlefield, to the soldier firing arrows from the castle wall, the last resort.
