Episode 240
a brilliant return
[The Star Army, Wins Frontier Province falls!]
[Mervinger’s brilliant return. Intensive coverage!]
[The comet becomes a true eastern star.]
[The true descendants of the ‘Star Mage’ finally stand up.]
The incident caused by Elric spread widely throughout the empire.
The stellar performance of the Star Wars in the eastern region over the past month was already good news for the Imperial Army, like a rain in a drought.
Not only the people of the empire but also the soldiers all cheered Elric’s name.
It was an eye-opening issue for the main office, which was trying to find a new breakthrough.
And when they heard the news that they had finally captured the Winds Frontier Province, everyone could not help but cheer.
In the eyes of the imperial people, the Red Lion Army could be said to be the center of the rebel army.
By grabbing their necks, they judged that the rebels would soon collapse.
and.
Public opinion’s expectations seemed to be roughly correct.
[Conflict deepens due to the rebels’ supply of supplies being halted.]
[Conflicts with barbarians become frequent due to the Red Lion Army’s agitation to return to their home base.]
[The imperial army’s massive counterattack!]
[Daebonyeong, moving forward, moving forward again.]
As the Great Patriotic War began to gain momentum and defeat the rebels one after another, the rebels had to continue being defeated day after day.
Meanwhile, in order to further encourage division and conflict within the rebel group, appeasement measures against the Red Lion Army were proposed.
[Is the proposal to appease the Red Lion true?]
[Children who had to leave their parents’ arms, come back!]
They began to openly tell the Red Lions that they would forgive them and that they should stop coming back.
As a result, the wire had to shake several times.

“… “No matter how many times I see this damn media play, I’m getting sick of it.”
Andre Wins, the Red Lion, threw a half-folded tabloid into a corner and sighed as if the ground was falling apart.
On the front page, Prince Zereitz, who was an abomination just to look at, was sitting with a face drenched in serious grief.
[Prince Zereitz is worried about the people of the East.]
[I am recalling memories with my old colleague, the Red Lion. Even today, he earnestly hopes that the Red Lion will escape from the demon’s clutches and regain its glory of light.]
Explicit titles and photo captions.
It was obvious that it was a ploy to shake up the Red Lion Army.
But the reality was different from that photo.
Contrary to what has been known to the public so far, the main headquarters has never actually recommended surrender to the Red Lion Army.
Rather, they targeted the Red Lion Army more tenaciously than when dealing with the mountain peoples, not less so.
In other words, this was just a deception by Crown Prince Zereitz to manipulate public opinion to his advantage, and in reality, if you were fooled by it, you could end up in trouble.
The problem was that there was currently quite a bit of turmoil within the Red Lion Army… .
‘It was so great that the entire border province fell into their hands.’
Andre closed his eyes tightly.
A feeling of silence, as if left alone in the world. Frustration pressed down on her chest, and loneliness seemed to rise up to her chin and suffocate her.
Now I am standing on the cliff of Baekcheok Gandu.
Depending on where you turn, it determines whether you fall to your death or whether you can come down gently.
‘Nameless. ‘If you get caught like that, what are you going to do to me?’
Fortunately, his friend, who had kept his sanity by his side, was also captured by the enemy.
The loneliness seemed to make him feel even more oppressed.
“… “My lord.”
As the worry deepened, Tedan’s voice rang from behind.
“You have to decide.”
Tedan bowed his head heavily.
He had run from the Red Castle to the Red Lion Army’s headquarters without stopping for a single day, and his complexion was pale, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
Still, he wanted to hear an answer.
What decision will Andre make?
Because their fate depended on it.
And of course, Tedan was going to faithfully follow whatever decision Andre made.
“Come under Mervinger’s command? Huh, indeed! “Still, he was a lion with only eight people in his name, and he was preparing to retire, but they kept telling him to hit and run.”
Andre quickly learned what Elric was aiming for, as he appeared like a savior.
It is already somewhat known that the imperial family feels burdened by Mervinger’s rise.
It was obvious that Prince Zereitz, who had defeated the rebels and had established a certain political position, would try to eliminate Mervinger as well.
Even if Mervinger’s reputation remains, it will not be difficult to suppress the fallen Mervinger.
But what if Mervinger swallows up the eastern frontier?
If you use one of the four major strategic points that the empire boasts as a base and join forces with several messengers to form a large warlord. It becomes difficult for the imperial family to directly suppress them.
At that time, you will be able to obtain a powerful force that was not possible even when Mervinger was around.
The power of pro-choice work and the power of the eastern frontier.
The moment these two are combined, Mervinger will no longer be a shadow of his ‘old days’.
In other words, as Crown Prince Zereitz, he was like a dog chasing chickens, or rather, he was becoming a brat who only used the results he had made to his heart’s content for other people’s good.
‘My situation is pitiful as I have to be caught up in political battles again.’
Andre closed his eyes tightly.

‘But if there is a way to come back to life.’
Anyway, there was only one thing Andre wanted.
Existence (存續).
It was not his own survival, but the survival of his subordinates and territory residents.
This is to determine which direction to choose is more advantageous for them.
It was okay to let go of one’s own reputation.
and… It was as if a decision had already been made to some extent in my mind.
But the reason I can’t step forward is probably because I’m not confident.
The conflict that inevitably arises because we do not know what kind of person Elric Mervinger is.
“Master… !”
At that time, the door to the main barracks opened wide and the adjutant came running out in a huff.
Andre and Tedan’s eyes turn to see what’s going on.
“On the mountain people side… !”
As the adjutant stopped speaking, the entrance suddenly became noisy.
“You can’t go in without permission!”
“Come out!”
“Uh-huh! These people know who I am! Touching me is like disrespecting our great warrior and warchief… !”
Clumsy but harsh tone of voice. It was clear they were barbarians.
The adjutant’s face turned white, and Tedan’s complexion hardened. But Andre nodded his head with a calm face.
“Come in.”
As soon as permission was given, a rough-looking man wearing a leopard skin came in with a swagger.
An extremely arrogant attitude, as if it were his own living room.
Tedan blushed and shouted.
“You guys have no respect for your allies! Even after committing such rudeness… !”
But the messenger just digs into the ear hole with his ring finger. I didn’t even pretend to hear.
Tedan eventually couldn’t control his anger and was about to move his hand toward the swordsman, but Andre told him to stop and stretched out his hand toward him, looking at the messenger and asking.
“okay. “What’s going on?”
“Our great warrior and warchief, Batu, wishes to see the Red Lion.”
“Are you asking me to come directly?”
“exactly. “The Warchief is hoping for an explanation from the alliance regarding this incident.”
The messenger looked down on Andrew arrogantly, as if he were Batu. They tell me to come and go like a subordinate. The more this happened, the more angry Te Dan and his lieutenants became.
“Sure.”
Andre still just calmly stood up from his seat without a single change in his expression.
The messenger’s eyes widened slightly as if it was unexpected, but he soon thought that he had surrendered to the warchief’s authority and raised his chin high.
“Follow me.”
Andre’s eyes, following him, were still unclear.
and.
‘… ‘Master?’
Tedan could see.
Andre was placing his hand on the sword hanging on his left waist belt.
It was a preliminary movement only seen when he went to battle with a big enemy.
[Tedan.]
Just then, Andre’s small voice was heard only by him.
[From now on, listen to me carefully.]
* * *
“Please take care of me here.”
“Please just leave it to me.”
Elric and the Star Wars did not simply remain in the Winds Frontier.
This was because the frontier territory was still far from the front line, and the westward advance had to continue in order to completely pressure the enemy.
Therefore, Brian remained in the Red Castle with a small number of troops.
This was because the previous injury had not yet fully healed.
Brian was very disappointed that he couldn’t chase Elric until the end, but he soon hardened his face because he knew that his mission was also important.
So, leaving the transmission behind.
The starry group began moving again.
From this point on, there was almost no fighting.
“A star swarm has appeared!”
“Open the door wide!”
“Hang the white flag high!”
In every region where the Star Wars went, a white flag was hung on the highest castle tower, and the gates were wide open.
“… “Isn’t this too easy?”
Hermann let out a laugh as he asked if it was okay to do this.
That’s because I thought that since even the Red Castle had fallen, there would definitely be a few places where there would be more fierce resistance.
But the castles we passed by so far did not do that.
The soldiers all threw away their weapons, and the people of the territory could only wait and wait for the star’s servants to pass by without incident.
Elric answered with a bitter smile.
“The Red Lion must have given that order.”
“Andre? “Our proposal has already been accepted?”
Hermann could not help but be surprised because he knew the distance from the Red Castle to the front line where the Red Lion Army’s headquarters was located.
Elric just shrugged his shoulders.
“Otherwise it doesn’t make sense. Or, in preparation for something like this, did you give instructions not to resist but to surrender if anything goes wrong with the Red Castle?”
“… That would be correct. “Andre, it’s completely possible with that guy.”
A bitter smile appeared on Hermann’s lips.
The more I continued to experience this war, the more I realized how absurd the imperial army’s announcement that Andre had rebelled was.
‘Come to think of it… Wasn’t King Yulho’s safe house nearby?’
Then, Elric was suddenly able to recall a memory that had been buried in a corner of his mind.
King Yulho’s warehouse, which King Velence had personally taught about, was located nearby.
I thought I would definitely stop by on my way to the eastern border someday, but things got complicated and I couldn’t stop by… We finally arrived in that vicinity.
‘Should I visit you secretly in the middle of the night?’
As Elric, I had the thought that I must go to King Yulho’s safe house.
The time I spent in the second arrangement I experienced. How surprised she was when she found out that what she thought were just fantasies made up of reality had an effect on reality.
Elric knew very well that his grandfather’s hand had touched this place as well, so he really wanted to go there.
