Chapter 240
At the same time as the front line appears, the keel of the merchant ship attacked by the Qingru tribe is broken. The boat itself split in half and began to sink in the water.
“Aaaagh!”
“Sah, save me!”
“please! Those monsters!”
Sailors clinging to the sinking merchant ship screamed.
Chii profit!
When Raon put his hand into the river again while operating Glacia, red objects poured from the front lines of the North and South Alliance.
The long, round objects seemed to have eyes and fell right in front of the drowning sailors.
“Huh! Huh!”
“Sah, lived.”
The water did not sink, even though they were made of special materials or were pressed by the weight of the sailors.
“Guys!”
A majestic voice filled with aura erupted from the deck of the battle line.
“Sweep them all away!”
With those words, the owner of the voice jumps into the river. She had purple hair that fell down her back, her features were soft and distinct, and her skin was as clear as white paper. He was a young soldier who seemed to have portrayed the image of a nobleman.
“Whoaaaa!”
“It’s Mr. Tiller!”
“We live!”
The sailors shouted the man’s name and cheered even though he was barely afloat.
“Huh!”
The man called Tiller ran through the water, stepping on it like the ground. Seeing the flow of mana swaying in the river, it seemed that he was using footwork designed to run on the surface.
‘Awesome.’
Raon resonated with the ring of fire and closely observed the miracle of the man’s footwork.
Chiying!
Arriving at the place where the Qingru people were gathered at once, the man stabbed the middle of the river with the spear slung over his shoulder.
Whoa!
A young blue river gi rotated in a spiral in Changgeuk and caused a huge explosion.
“Kikii profit!”
“Keeeh!”
The Blue Cliffs couldn’t stand the huge wave and stumbled like leaves caught in a storm.
“Whoaaaa!”
“They are beasts no different from monsters!”
“Kill them all!”
The warriors on the deck flew swords and spears at the Chengru Tribe, and fired javelins and harpoons.
“Kiyi!”
“Kyaaa!”
The Qingru tribe could not withstand the mighty offensive of the soldiers of the Civil War and hurriedly retreated back. Green blood flowed from the skin that had been hit by swordsmanship and pr****utes.
“Big!”
When the largest of the Qingru Tribe burst into a strange cry with his hands together, the river rose like an inverted waterfall, covering his face, and a blue mist appeared.
“Kyaaaagh!”
The Qingru tribe did not miss the chaotic gap and dived into the river and disappeared.
“Where!”
Tiller snorted and kicked the churning water. He held the spear in reverse and lowered it down the river as if he were catching a fish.
Whoops!
The river water cut into a semicircle, and the young and small Cheongru tribe below it became a rag and stuck to the spear.
“I can’t let you all go.”
He swung his spear and split the body of the young Qingru tribe in half, smiling coolly.
“Wowaaaaaa!”
“Because he’s our captain!”
“Dirty freaks!”
The soldiers of the Civil War Alliance on the front line giggled as they watched the Blue Clover pouring out green blood.
“Ughhhh!”
“Sah, I’m alive.”
“Go, thank you!”
“Tiller! Thank you for saving me!”
The surviving sailors bowed to the tiller while submerged.
“It’s nothing, but what?”
Tiller smiled and turned the spear upside down, swinging it like rowing.
Whoaaaaa!
The waves rose gently and the sailors began to drift down the river.
“Oh, I’ve heard of it.”
Rimmer scratched his chin at the man called Tiller.
“Tiller Seton. As the fifth disciple of the North and South Leaders, he is a warrior who rose to master a long time ago. They say that he has a great appearance and is called Paranghyeop because he does a lot of martial arts.”
“I have heard of it too.”
Raon nodded. As Rimer said, Tiller belonged to the North and South Alliance, but showed a lot of heroic aspects, so he was a swordsman who was liked by the Emperor.
“Blue Gorge?”
Martha frowned at Tiller.

“No matter how you look at it, it’s a greasy and unlucky traitor, isn’t it?”
“gibberish.”
Burren shook his head as he moved next to Martha.
“That person belongs to the North-South Alliance, but he is a military man who has accumulated many acts of cooperation and good deeds. It’s different from mediocre thieves.”
“Oh, now you support the thief too?”
“I’m not advocating it, I’m just stating the facts.”
The two growled at each other as usual.
“Not very well.”
After seeing Raon and Tiller, Runan shook his head.
[You’re not going to play?]
Raon sent a message to Limer to come with his eyes fixed on Tiller, who was approaching on the waves.
[You can’t use a knife to save someone. If you hit it now, there will be a war.]
Rimer gave an answer and smiled.
Tiller brought out the drowning sailors first, and after checking their injuries, he came this way.
“oh?”
He opened his mouth wide when he saw the flaming sword pattern on the Gwangpungdan uniform.
“These are the Sieghards!”
Even though Tiller recognized Sieghart at a glance, he turned the window upside down as if there were no boundaries.
His eyes roll rapidly like marbles falling from a hill. It only stopped briefly with Runan and Martha, and Raon and Rimer.
“Sir, are you Sieghart’s lightsaber?”
“That’s right.”
“It is an honor to meet you!”
Tiller bowed his head with a flushed face.
“glory?”
“yes! I’ve heard so much that I’m a true escort and a knight to protect my lord! I really wanted to meet you.”
“really?”
“yes! Among Limer’s active activities, I’ve been playing the Battle of the Black Mountain… … ”
As if he really wanted to meet him, Tiller recited Rimer’s activities one after another.
“Big! A friend who knows something!”
Rimer smiled broadly as if he was in a good mood and patted Tiller on the shoulder.
“And this is the Seolhwa Swordsman.”
Tiller hit the window sill with his fist.
“Do I know?”
“I was very impressed when I heard that he jumped to his death to save his benefactor when he was young. It is an honor to meet our young hero.”
“The one I cut was Eden, an ally of the North and South Alliance, is it okay if I say that?”
Raon met Tiller’s blue eyes with calm eyes.
“Allies… . In fact, the word alliance is ridiculous. Each one has a different meaning.”
Tiller smiled softly.
“Even if people live in the same place, the way people live is different. Neither in Oma nor in the North-South Alliance do not all agree.”
“hmm! That’s right.”
Rimmer nodded in agreement, as if he liked Tiller, who lifted him up.
“What are you doing here?”
Raon asked while looking at the wires Tiller rode on.
“We have received a request for reinforcements from Doran Village, so we are patrolling once a day.”
Tiller smiled softly at the Doran villagers taking care of the crew.
“How did the Gwangpungdan members come? It wouldn’t be a place you would stop by while passing by.”
“We also received a request from Doran Village to help.”
“Hoo… .”
Tiller’s words, which flowed like flowing water, stopped for a moment.
“who. Oh, well, if you go a little further, it’s Sieghart’s area, so it’s worth it. However, it seems that we were a little faster this time.”
He looked at the people of Doran village as he spoke in a joking tone so as not to offend.
Both the sailors and the rescue team in Doran Village looked with envy at Tiller and the soldiers of the Civil Alliance. It was like meeting a hero.
“I will see you often for a while. i look forward to.”
“Please take care of this too.”
“then!”
Tiller lowered his head slightly and stepped into the river again.
“uh? Are you going like this?”
“I haven’t even properly said goodbye yet… .”
“Tiller!”
“It’s nothing special, you don’t have to worry about it.”
The crew raised their hands, but Tiller smiled softly and backed off. He returned to the front line as if flying by using water steps.
“Let’s go back! Hey guys .. hey guys!”
“yes!”
They left the Gazelle River without any regrets, without demanding any compensation.
“Are you a pretty good guy?”
Rimer whistled as he watched the departing battleships.
“You’re just as I’ve heard.”
Burren smiled as if he was okay.
“I’m a young star. It looks like you painted mayonnaise on her face. Those guys are growing a serpent in their stomachs.”
“that’s right. I’m going to have a good time.”
Martha and Runan almost got along for the first time.
‘Have all the Qinglou tribe gone?’
Raon used the <Magic Eye of Anger> just in case. He seemed to have all fled, and the Chengru tribe was nowhere to be seen.
‘Well, since I was attacked like that… … hmm?’
As he tried to calm his anger, he saw the Qingru tribe alone in the depths of the Gazelle River. The claws and fins were smaller than those of the Qingru Tribe, which made them look more like humans, and their eyes were clear as if they were looking at the Gazelle River in the past. He looked this way and disappeared into the deeper water.
‘It’s amazing.’
The Chengru Tribe he had just seen was different from the innocent feeling he had seen before, and also different from the monster-like Chengru Tribe he had just seen. how to say It felt like making eye contact with a person.
“You really come every day.”
“look. I heard that the village should be left to Mr. Tiller.”
“therefore! You saved me without paying. I don’t know about the North and South Alliance, but I can trust Mr. Tiller.”
The townsfolk still talked about Tiller long after he disappeared.
Looking at the excited villagers, Raon licked his lips.
‘It fell firmly.’
Looking at the reaction of the sailors and villagers, this place is already a North-South alliance. No, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it became the domain of tillers.
‘It won’t be easy.’
It seemed that it would be quite difficult to set up a Sieghart flag in the village.
‘Still, there are advantages to being here.’
Raon smiled as he recalled the water steps Tiller had shown him earlier.
I learned something good.
* * *
After Raon and Gwangpungdan returned, they visited the village chief. The village chief was in good shape despite his advanced age. Looking at his hands, it seemed that he was still working hard.
“Thank you for coming.”
The village chief smiled and nodded, but there was a timidity on his lips that he could not hide.
“Can you tell me the situation first?”
Raon greeted me and asked. Lee Mer is a person who doesn’t bother with things like this, so he had to make the move himself.
“Well, since a few months ago, the Qinglou people have started wandering around the Gazelle River out of their homes. I didn’t really care because it didn’t cause any damage, but it happened two months ago.”
The village chief sighed and continued.
“The Qingru Tribe, who would normally hide at the sound of a boat, suddenly attacked the fishing boat. It’s hard to believe for anyone who knows the Qinglou tribe, but I’ve seen it with my own eyes.”
“hmm… … ”
Raon nodded. It was what Rimmer had heard when he was talking about the mission.
“As time passed, the Qingru tribe, whose aggression intensified, started sinking the boat and targeting people. Now they are targeting the big merchant ship you saw earlier.”
“Why are they attacking ships and people?”
“I have no idea.”
The village chief shook his head helplessly.
“Unlike other sub-species, the Qinglou cannot speak human language. Despite seeing us for a long time, there was almost no friendship, so it was a troublesome situation in many ways.”
His clenched fist trembled.
“When I was thinking about what to do as the raids of the Qingru tribe continued, soldiers from the North and South Alliance who happened to pass by the waterway came forward. They quickly defeated the Qingru tribe, who were said to be invincible in water, and even saved people from drowning.”
The village chief smiled as soon as he mentioned the word North-South alliance.
“Tiller nodded readily at our request to patrol from time to time, and he looked around the Gazelle River every day. Today, as soon as he heard the news that the Qingru tribe was attacking, he came and rescued the sailor. So… .”
He hesitated for a while, then slowly opened his mouth.
“I am very sorry to Prosecutor Sieghart who came all the way here, but we are thinking of entrusting the protection of the village to the North and South Korean League.”
The village chief finished his words with trembling lips.
“okay.”
As expected, Raon nodded lightly. Everyone in the village was in a state of falling for the tiller of the North and South Alliance.
‘It’s even closer.’
It wasn’t Sieghart that was close to this village, it was the North and South Alliance. It wasn’t so strange to find a place closer and more frequent.
“I-I also have something I want to ask you. Like the Sieghart investigators who came not too long ago, who asked you to come here… .”
“that… .”
“I made a request.”
As Raon was about to answer, a thick voice came from outside the door. The door opened wide, and two young men came inside. One was built like a general, and the other was skinny, but his eyes were clear.
“Belga! Maureen! Why are you!”
The village chief frowned, but the young men didn’t care and bowed their heads to Raon and Rimer.
“Thank you for coming.”
“Did you say that you two called us?”
“That’s right.”
A large young man named Belgar nodded.
“Why did you call us when you seem to be on good terms with the North-South Alliance?”
Rimer tilted her head.
“Because I can’t trust them.”
“Bee, Belga! This guy!”
“Now they pretend to be friendly neighbors, but their roots are bandits. They take away what they have and make fun of their lives.”
Belga continued to speak, ignoring the chief’s request.
Raon installed a curtain in this space to prevent the sound from escaping just in case.
“Bandits don’t even pave the way, they float boats on waterways where there are bandits and only take money. It doesn’t matter if it’s a tiller. He pretends to be a hero, but he doesn’t shy away from the actions of an outnumberer. I can’t trust them.”
“No, nonsense! He saved us countless times and never asked for anything!”
“If you eat this whole village, you’ll even enter the Gazelle River into their territory. The gains far outweigh the losses, and that much can be tolerated!”
“This guy is real!”
“In addition, it is strange that the North and South Alliance moved as soon as the Qingru tribe was transformed… … ”
“Belga! Maureen!”
When the village chief screamed so loudly that the room shook, Belga and Maureen flinched and shut up.
“Be careful with your words. A single word from you could burn down the entire village.”
“but… .”
“It’s not for kids! The Qinglou tribe has also withdrawn, so depart as scheduled! Maureen, you go and help!”
“Ugh… .”
Belga bit her lip. She looked at Raon for a moment, then lowered her head and went outside.
“Heh heh heh! That’s because you’re still young. I apologize.”
The village chief laughed awkwardly and wiped away the sweat dripping from his temple.
“are you okay. It can be. Originally, young guys are fidgety.”
Rimer smiled and nodded.
“I just want to thank you for understanding.”
“So, isn’t there a famous drink here?”
“If you are talking about alcohol, do you mean white wine?”
“Oh, that! can you taste it? I came from afar, but I was a bit hungry.”
“Oh, whatever.”
He pretended not to be interested in the mission and asked for a drink. At the same time, he clenched his hand. It seemed like he meant to go out and talk to the young men.
Raon quietly got up and left the chief’s room. Towards the outskirts of the village, the two young men I saw earlier were walking. The smaller one had a limp, so he couldn’t get very far.
“I saw you a little while ago.”
Raon immediately followed them and blocked their way.
“Huh!”
“Stand, Seolhwa Swordsman!”
The two did not hide their surprise, unlike in the room, as if they knew Raon.
“Ma, it is an honor to meet you. My name is Belga!”
“This is Maureen.”
Belga was strong, and Maureen nodded calmly.
“I came because I had a question.”
“yes?”
“What do you mean when you said that the North and South Alliance and the Qinglou tribe were strange?”
“This way for a moment.”
Belga looked around and guided her into a narrow alley. He leaned his back against the wooden wall and spoke slowly.
“Originally, the North and South Alliance do not travel this waterway. However, when the aggression of the Qingru tribe reached its peak and attacked people, it appeared as if it had been put together and became a hero.”
Belga frowned.
“The timing is so good that it makes no sense for it to be a coincidence.”
“you’re right. It’s fortunate that people bought it, but the timing is too coincidental.”
Maureen nodded in agreement.
“Even if the North and South alliances know the waterways well, it is impossible to know when a person will die.”
“hmm… .”
Raon licked his lips. That’s true, but that couldn’t be evidence.
“one more. Until now, the power of the North and South Alliance has not reached our village, so people only look at the thief very well.”
Belga sighed.
“We have a friend in a village that became part of the North-South Alliance a few years ago. At first, they said they were safe and happy, but in the past few years, people themselves have changed. I was only chasing money and I couldn’t afford it.”
“I won’t tell you why, but when you hear the story of the North and South Alliance, it’s clear that they did something because they freak out.”
Maureen also shook her head, saying she shouldn’t believe in the North-South alliance.
“Adults only think positively of the bandits, forgetting that Sieghart’s territory is right next to them, so the North and South Alliance never touched our village.”
“We’ll convince you, can you wait a little longer?”
The two of them bowed their heads as if begging.
“I am… .”
When Raon answered, someone from the main gate of the village waved.
“Belga!”
“Come quickly!”
They seemed to be friends going fishing with Belga.
“go. We will continue the story later.”
“yes! I’ll see you again after I’ve sorted out my thoughts.”
“then.”
The two nodded again and ran out of town.
“Tiller of the North and South Alliance.”
I remembered what Marta had said about guys like Tiller hiding snakes in their stomachs. Surprisingly, there was a corner where her physiognomy fit well.
‘That might be true.’
I can’t believe everything Belga and Maureen say, but it’s true that Tiller’s reaction is a little strange.
It didn’t seem like a bad idea to prepare for a battle with the North and South Alliance as well as the Blue Clans.
Raon smiled as he recalled the waves of footsteps Tiller had shown him.
‘Let’s walk on the water once.’
