Episode 239
Winds change stock
Pot!
The ghost disappeared again.
but.
“Where!”
Elric violently turned his body to the left and hit the ground with his foot, as if he knew where he would appear.
“【Soar】.”
So so so so-
A thick sheet of ice was spread around the soles of Elric’s feet. And along the way, an ice pick rises at an oblique angle. A ghost appeared in that place.
Pow!
The ghost barely managed to swat it away and deployed its stealth technique again. The cold sweat he shed fell to the ground, then shattered into pieces of ice.
‘Movement… It’s being read.’
The ghost had to bite his lower lip.
Until the tree fell and the ice pick blocked him.
Elric seemed to predict where he would appear.
No, it was clear that he was ‘seeing’ it directly.
Neither the lion, nor the magic tower’s six-pointed star, nor his own movements could be read in the end.
‘It’s dangerous like this.’
The ghost thought that the reason he could continue to read movements was because his mind was agitated.
The basis of stealth and stealth lies in equanimity.
However, it was clear that he was quite agitated because of what Elric said, whether it was a clue or something.
Since he was a foreigner from a place other than the Empire, he could just walk away if something went wrong, but his friend Andre Wynz could never do that.
So, while I was thinking about what to do, this suggestion came… .
‘Let’s reduce the agitation. The best thing to do now is to subdue him.’
Ghost. The person who takes pride in being nameless has his eyes shining sharply again.
First, let’s widen the gap between us and Elric. And let’s try to calm her down as much as we can and approach her again.
With that in mind, I’m trying to distance myself a lot.
“【Pour out】.”
Elric seemed to have read even that, and as soon as the ghost moved, he poured out a pile of ice arrows.
Cha cha cha chang!
When the ghost turned the sword side to the side, the arrow bounced off.
but.
Faaah!
By the time he came to his senses, Elric had come up to him and was stabbing his ice spear in this direction.
The ghost hurriedly tried to draw his sword.
Sigh!
The ice spear blade passed by the ghost’s face. There was a cut on my left cheek from the sharp blade of the spear.
Grumble. A trickle of blood flowed down my cheek.
“… .”
“I think I’ve shown my skills at this point. Do I still have to show you more?”
Elric smiled brightly and asked a question.
But both eyes were shining sharply.
As if he will catch you no matter where you run away.
In fact, the ghost’s organs were not very effective for Elric anymore.
Thanks to the dragon’s blood, I now have an incomparably superior sense than before, and with my hungry sense and mind’s eye, there is now nothing I cannot see if I put my mind to it.
Moreover, Elric has not yet pulled out his trump card called Progenitor Magic.
If I brought this up, then I really had no choice but to fight for my life or death.
Of course, there may be a separate card with a hidden ghost, but in the end, it was useless to Elric.
Even the ghost was not unaware of this fact.
“… “What on earth happened all this time?”
As a ghost, I couldn’t help but wonder how Elric could have changed so much in such a short period of time.
Is there some secret on the border of the empire? It was such a ridiculous thought.
“just. “Something like this?”
Elric just grinned.
“Anyway. What should I do?”
Elric emphasized his words as if he would no longer look at him.
This means that this proposal is the last.
If he refused even this, Elric was going to get rid of the real ghost.
“Can you really keep your promise?”
“haha. Was this boss just being deceived? Is it real? If you don’t believe me, look into my eyes. “Do these eyes look like they are meant to deceive?”
Elric confidently blinked his emerald eyes.
Glitter.
『You’re not a fraudster. It’s just closer to the eyes of a gambler who has discovered a bonanza.』
Mephisto blurted out something, but Elric pretended not to hear and ignored him.
The ghost seemed to feel burdened by Elric’s eyes, narrowed its brows, pulled its face back, and sighed deeply.
“… Phew! “You’re just losing face by coming all the way here to help a so-called friend.”
The ghost nervously stuck the sword he was holding into the ground and lightly raised both hands.

It was a sign of surrender.
[Look. As soon as I saw these eyes, huh? Just make a decision, huh? That much trust, huh?]
『Perhaps the world would be very comfortable if everyone lived comfortably like you.』
Mephisto shook his head as he looked at the arrogant Elric.
Such infinite self-love.
Now it wasn’t that surprising.
* * *
Sigh!
The main gate of the Red Castle was wide open.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da!
A group of stars slowly entered into it. There was no need to worry about enemy backlash because the units deployed first had already taken control of key functions in preparation for the surprise attack.
Rather, the eyes of Tedan, the Red Lion Army soldiers, and the residents of the fortress, who were tightly tied to gun ropes and waiting for their march, were filled with fear.
If the star servant changes his words contrary to his promise, he has no choice but to be caught in the act.
While they are traitors who betrayed the empire, they are people from the sorcerous clan Mervinger who have been loyal to the empire for a long time.
It was as obvious as fire how it would be reflected on the outside.
‘If only Nameless was intact… !’
The story might have been different if the ghost had not been captured, but from what I heard, he was also captured by Elric.
For Tedan, it was hard to understand what the Star Servant had been going through for the past six months.
“What do you plan on doing with us?”
Tedan looked at Elric, who had already approached him, with eyes filled with fear.
Purr!
The sight of Elric riding on the saddle of a horse snorting harshly was showing off much more spirit than I had heard through rumors.
Fiery golden hair and green eyes that sparkle like jewels. Tedan’s appearance seemed to be captured in a shabby way.
On the other hand, anger boiled over.
The enemy who took the life of his close colleague, Claymore Sagnad.
The entire time I was watching him, the judging process was bound to be complicated.
“well. What should I do?”
However, whether he knew what that person was thinking or not, Elric just smiled mischievously.
Tedan got angry.
“If you are planning to harass us… !”
But Tedan could not continue speaking for long. This was because Ate suddenly came up next to him and cut the rope that was binding him with a dagger.
They even removed the restraints that prevented them from generating auras one by one.
Clamp, chin!
Tedan couldn’t read Elric’s thoughts for a moment and had to stare at them blankly.
That wasn’t all.
Clamp, chin!
Clamp, chin… !
The sound of restraints and ropes being released could be heard here and there. Cheer up. The sound of the metal falling to the floor rang loudly in my ears.
All the officers and soldiers of the Red Lion Army, including Tedan, had to look at Elric with blank stares.
“… “What are you thinking?”
Elric smiled silently at Tedan, then glanced at the quite agitated Red Lion Army and shouted with magical power.
“Those who want to leave can just leave.”
“… !”
“… !”
“… !”
“But go and tell your master. “If you put down your weapons and surrender to me like you are now, I will give you a way to survive.”
“… .”
“… .”
“… .”
Elric explained the same suggestion as he did to the ghost.
Then, confusion and suspicion appeared in the eyes of the Red Lion Army soldiers.
They looked at each other with shaking gazes and whispered quite a bit.
I wonder if Elric’s words were deception or not. I couldn’t figure out if it was a ploy to trick them or if it was sincere.
Seeing that scene, Hermann had to burst out laughing. Until Elric and Isabel came up with this plan, I thought it would really work, but it was amazing to see it work.
In the end, all eyes of the Red Lion Army soldiers naturally turned to Tedan. Since he is currently in charge, he thought it was right for him to make the decision.
“… … How can you guarantee that?”
“I put my humble name on the line and the honor of my family that my ancestors worked so hard to cultivate. If necessary, I’ll even add to my grandfather’s reputation. “Is that okay then?”
Although Tedan was from a commoner background, he knew very well how much nobles risked their lives for their family’s honor.
Finally, after a long struggle.
“we… !”
Tedan barely opened his mouth.
* * *
Doo doo doo doo!
Watching Tedan and his group leaving the red castle, raising a cloud of dust. Herman looked at Elric with a strange expression.
“Do you really think they’ll come back?”
Hermann had an expression close to half-confidence.
Looking at Andre Winds’ personality, it seems like he would readily follow Elric’s suggestion in order to secure the safety and future of the territory’s residents.
This was because, considering the uncertainty involved and the opposition from the imperial family, it would not be an issue to think about easily.
Above all, if you think about the opposition of the mountain peoples and Grigori who formed the alliance, it won’t be easier… .
When Hermann thought about it, he burst out laughing without even realizing it.
Isn’t he smiling when he looks at Elric?
“Right. “Whether the proposal works or not, we won’t lose much, right?”
“yes.”
Elric nodded and continued speaking.
“If it works, it’s good because I can get my hands on not only the Winds Modifier but also the Red Lion. Even if it’s not the case, internal strife will inevitably arise.”
Tedan and his group sent to protect the Red Castle return safely?
Even with that, it was inevitable that quite a bit of conflict would occur in the enemy camp.
No matter who sees it, it will look like the Red Lion Army has joined hands with the Star Wars Army in search of a way to survive.
I heard that the rebels are no longer able to achieve victory due to the strong resistance of the imperial army and are in a panic.
Even if it wasn’t, it was like pouring oil on a fire, so internal strife was bound to arise naturally.
Then Andre Wins was pushed into an even more difficult situation, so he had no choice but to make the final choice.
“Maybe someone named Tedan knows this too.”
“I guess so. “Because he was the most intelligent friend under Andre.”
However, even though Tedan knows that what he is currently holding is a poisoned chalice, he will eventually have no choice but to deliver it to Andre Winds.
Because they too had to find a way to survive.
“Then we will slowly move again.”
With this, the Winds Frontier Province fell completely to the Star Wars. The plan was to calm the public sentiment, which would be agitated for a while, and prepare to move again. Ultimately, the place where the Star Servants should arrive was the Empire.
“It’s time to return home.”
The sun was already setting where Elric’s gaze landed.
It was a place where the empire was.
