Episode 239. Cogwheel.
The two forces clashed with a bridge covered in vines at the center.
One is a black cloak unit carrying Strange’s emblem.
Next, those fighting against them are the 4th Prince Karl and the artillery unit, who are moving under the orders of the 2nd Prince.
The difference in numbers between the two units was not large.
However, the capabilities of the commanders were divided into those who had experienced combat and those who had not, showing completely different results in response.
“Push on, they don’t have the skills to stop us if we fight close.”
Veratir, who led the Ruines Academy students, took the lead and ran towards the enemy army. The rebels fighting against him were trapped on the bridge, unable to move forward or back, and fought back with guns.
Taang, taang, bang!
Perhaps, if it were a fight between ordinary people, Karl’s artillery unit, which could use ammunition without any cost issues, would have overwhelmed the enemy with overwhelming firepower.
The people in front of him now are all aurors or people with special powers that cannot cause great damage with bullets or the like by opening up mana. Even though he looked young, all of them had the skills of a 3-star knight or higher, so he could not be easily defeated.
Carol bit her nails as she watched the enemy troops getting closer.
‘The position is too bad to deal with enemies coming back and forth on a narrow bridge.’
He quickly judged this and changed his strategy to fight against the enemy.
This battle cannot be won by a confrontation between soldiers. In that case, he has no choice but to step forward and subdue the enemy himself. With a stern look on his face he gave the order to cease fire, then advanced across his men and headed in the direction where Veratyr was.
“Do you know who I am and are blocking my way?”
Verathir answered as he picked up the crumpled bullets on the ground and filled them with aura.
“Then do you know who I am?”
“Knight of Strange. “He must be one of the Guardian Knights, as he survived the Rothschild attack and survived until now.”
“If you think so, I’m glad.”
“You don’t need to know anything about me. “Your name is Carol. You are the fourth prince who became involved with the family’s traitor, Vileist, right?”
Carol shouted, her eyes wide with a frantic expression.
“How dare you call the prince’s name so easily!”
“They also swear at the emperor in places that cannot be seen. Is there anything that can’t be said about you? Besides, you who stand before me now are not the prince of this country, but just one of the traitors.”
“If you keep talking like that, I will kill you by tearing your limbs apart with my own hands.”
“If you can, try it. “I will deal with you myself.”
“Even though I am not someone worthy of dealing with Saenim, who was raised well in the palace. Still, since he is a prince, let’s give him some grace.”
Verathir snapped his fingers and fired the Auror bullet he was holding at Carol.
bang.
Unlike the wide-ranging sound of gunfire, it was a sharp sound, like being stabbed by a spear.
Perhaps, if Carol had been born as an ordinary person rather than a prince, it would have been an attack that could never have been prevented. Veratir thought this and looked at his abilities with an interesting expression. All princes, who are called the emperor’s children, receive a special Bae Hue-ryeong that is passed down to the imperial family as soon as they are born.
This is Bae Hu-ryeong, who has a strange ability that was passed down to humans to fight against the tower a long time ago, when there is no record of it.
Shalalalak!
One of the vines wrapped around her leg flew out and blocked Carol’s forehead. Then, the bullet fired by Veratir hit that exact spot and made a dull sound.
Carol spread her arms wide with a smile on her lips.
“You underestimated us so much. The reason why the Tower’s apostles have not been able to invade this royal capital until now. “If you knew how the tower was created in the Legion, you would never have attacked me.”
As the golden aura contained in his hand radiated intensely, the vines wrapped around his legs began to spread out in all directions and strike the surroundings.
Quang, quang, quang!
Bae Hu-ryeong, a giantess with a bizarre expression, appeared above Carol’s head and smiled as she scratched her head with the rose in her hand. Perhaps this is what made the person who was once called the god of this continent into Bae Hu-ryeong. Veratir made that decision and let out a shout of joy without even realizing it.
Since Lois died, there have been only boring days.
I can’t believe I get a chance to fight someone with such powerful abilities.
So that he can show off his power against those who were once called gods.
“You picked the wrong place to deal with me.”
“location?”
“Okay, now that they have seen this ability, everyone here will die anyway, so let me tell you in advance. “Rose, my Bae Hu-ryeong, is one of the five gods who built this royal capital along with the first emperor, Amon.”
“Five gods?”
“No matter how much you carry Strange’s cross, you can never win. A real god who actually existed on this continent, not a fake that is only told in stories. Let me show you that power.”
With these words, Carol went into the vines and let Bae Hu-ryeong descend on her body.
And this produced unimaginably enormous results.
Carol’s body, which had seemed a head or more smaller than her just a moment ago, suddenly grew to the size of a giant called Rose, Bae Hu-ryeong, and wrapped thorny vines around her body and swung them in all directions like a whip.
Boom, boom, boom!
Everyone began to fall, both friendly and enemy.
Verathir, who was watching this scene, channeled all the power he had hidden until now and tried to stop him. After the battle began, the momentum did not break for a while. From a third party’s perspective, Berathir, who is familiar with the battlefield, seems to have an unexpected advantage over Prince Karl, who uses the power of God. However, the boiling battle began to come to an end as time passed and each other’s auras decreased.
Verathir, who had a natural strength so strong that it could hardly be called a human and an auror superior to Royce, who was said to be the best swordsman on the continent, grabbed the giant’s legs and knocked him down, and tore off a vine and threw it into the river, suddenly closed his eyes and fell forward as if he had been discharged.
Carol, who had turned into a giant, looked down at him and clenched and unclenched her hands.
“You lasted longer than I thought. “Your soul must have already been torn apart.”
He slowly lowered his head and lifted Veratir’s feet. Veratir, who was being held by Carol like a toy, faced him with blurred gaze, forced a smile and spoke to him.
“Was it the vine you used, the ability to tear apart souls rather than energy?”
Carol answered with a cold expression.
“I told you, I will kill you by tearing your limbs apart with my own hands.”
“So what did I say?”
“I said, if you can, give it a try. But you missed your chance.”
“What is that-.”
The sound of the wind breaking was heard from above Carol’s head. When he noticed something suspicious and looked up, he saw the golden Verdin, who had already drawn his sword and was returning it to its scabbard.
Verdin plunges the blade into the house.
Carol’s body began to split vertically and split into two sides. Blood gushes from his body like a fountain and scatters everywhere.
He judged Verdin to be his enemy in the split second he caught sight of him, but it was too late to react and deal with him.
‘This is the difference between those who have experienced numerous battlefields and those who have not.’

You must not underestimate the enemy until the end.
Even if you win, you must not relax until everything is done and you return to your base.
Veratir would have wanted to say this. Just before his vision faded and he lost consciousness.
“Good job, Veratir.”
Verdin quickly fell and snatched him from the giant’s hand.
After that, he exploded the bullets he had saved in advance to change the direction of his fall, immediately putting distance between himself and Carol and falling where the Ruines Academy student was.
“… “Mission complete, everyone must leave the scene.”
Carol was defeated.
This fact reached Albus before Vileist’s legions arrived in front of the palace. This is clearly Verdin’s plan. If not, there is no one who can stop him now.
Albus was certain and reported the matter to Beleist.
“Strange is trying to stop us.”
However, Belayst did not react significantly. No matter how strong they are, they are just knights, so why are they so afraid? He said it as if he was criticizing Albus.
“Anyway, Carol is the weakest Bae Hu-ryeong among the five princes. “Even if we carry out the operation like this, there is no need to worry too much.”
“Without him, we can’t call the garrison to our side.”
“Don’t worry, there is someone who can act as Carol’s replacement.”
“You mean Prince Karl’s double?”
“Yes, there is someone in my unit who has excellent makeup skills. “When we arrive at the capital, we can send him to the negotiation team, so please take good care of Prosloff.”
A person with excellent makeup skills who can act as Carol’s replacement, who is worthy of Beleist’s trust?
Albus was curious, but did not continue his question. He thought that if he offended him further, he might lose his trust even though he was in general command.
After finishing the conversation, Albus lowered his head and fell behind the unit with his words.
And although Beleist answered as if he didn’t care about Carol’s business, he called Bae Hu-ryeong and asked as if he was concerned.
“Can those called Strange stop us?”
Bae Hu-ryeong, the cat, answered his question by waving his eyebrows as if they were dancing.
“I don’t know about that. But you can’t ignore guys named Strange.”
“Their swords are strong enough to reach the gods. That’s why your father begged Strange during her lifetime. “The imperial army was defeated once in a war against them in the past.”
“That’s a bit uncomfortable to hear. “How can the emperor treat such a southern lord?”
Belayst frowned, but soon regained his composure and continued the conversation.
“Why are they trying to stop us?”
“I guess it’s on Loki’s side.”
“Then I guess we’ll have no choice.”
“… Don’t worry, I’m by your side. “I looked into it and it seems like there’s a friend of mine next to Strange’s current owner, a guy named Verdin.”
“Your colleague?”
“Yes, my colleague. A great wizard who climbed the tower together to fight against the one called God a long time ago.”
“… Brunhild von Glaser. “I was her ex-lover, so if we ever meet, we can figure out a way to deal with him.”
