Chapter 514
Episode 141. fall (7)
Sota Desert.
The riders and the Black Knight weren’t the only ones who carried out their mission there.
‘Others… … There were more?’
Joshua barely lifted his head to look at Rosa. The darkness of her dungeon made it impossible to see what expression she was making.
“The four Dark Knights, the first group of the Black Sword Society, and the others I hired myself… … I was also in that desert.”
“What is that… … !”
Except for Joshua.
Jin and Difus, Mon and Jane. No one knew that Rosa and her knights were in Sota Desert.
They weren’t together from the beginning. They entered the desert after the party started their operation. And their goal wasn’t just to make the blueprint stealing mission a success.
“I watched you.”
What choices do the jockeys make, and how do they succeed in their mission?
In particular, what kind of judgment does Joshua make among them?
Rosa, hiding in the desert with the troops she personally led, watched the overall flow of the mission.
– Acting Governor, only Mon was left in the underground drying room. The 2nd Horseman seems to have decided to monopolize the information after all. But with Kingelo stepping in at the same time, it won’t be long before we find out.
-4 riders, 12 riders, Murakan. OK to start moving. I decided that if I pursued it further, I would be more likely to be spotted by the boundary crystal ball, so I backed off.
– If you’re the youngest, you probably already know that the real thing is not a drying ground, but a 2 magic tower. Wait near the 2nd Mage Tower and report again until the youngest party overcomes the barrier.
-Honorable name!
Even when the barrier of the 2 Magic Tower was destroyed by the spirit sword and an air fleet of over 100 ships was revealed, Rosa, unlike Jin and others, did not waver at all.
That much was already figured out a long time ago. It was only that the riders who went to Sota Desert didn’t know, and it wasn’t the first time in the long history of the Cold War between the two sides that Zipple tried to build an air fleet centered on Kojek.
– How many spies are there currently in the Garden of Swords?
-Ninety-seven servants, twenty low-ranking guard knights, twelve intermediate guard knights, five high-ranking guard knights, fifteen butlers and literary men of the second rank or higher, two horsemen’s binary, five executive knights, seven elders, and one black knight. In addition, it is estimated that there are at least twenty more spies capable of deadly intelligence.
-Who is the spy we planted in Zipple?
-Forty servants, ten low-ranking wizards, five middle-level wizards, one elder, and one mage tower wizard in the main house of Jiefle. That is all.
The last meeting of riders personally convened by Chiron right before leaving for the Black Sea.
The conversation between Shiron and Runtia that day was nuanced, as if Runcandel was far behind in information warfare compared to Ziple.
In fact, it was Runkandel, not Zipple, who was digging up more lethal inside information. The worst spy, Barton Vichena, the Black Knight, was killed by Jin and Dipus.
-It must be Jonah, that child, who notified Kingelo of the time of the riders’ operation.
– It will. I didn’t expect to take on such a double commission, Sir Rosa.
It is no different that Rosa was able to hide in the desert while avoiding the eyes of Jin and Jonah, as well as Ziffle and Kingelo throughout the Sota Desert mission.
The only one who rules Yubaek City, the nameless king Oul.
It was thanks to him and the best unknown killers hired.
-I’ll do this request.
-Can not be done.
– I’ll go even if you dry it, hee hee.
– If you really want to go. A few conditions must be attached.
It was right after Jonah left that Rosa found Oul.
-I know that when the youngest was a reserve jockey, Sir Oul delayed Yona’s return to the family under the pretext of Mandokju. However, that shouldn’t have been the story that Jonah could be persuaded to betray Runcandel… … .
-It’s a betrayal, so I just received a request. Sir Rosa, I have a feeling you’ve said too much.
-At least, since Shiron was absent and I came instead, it ended with just talking too much.
-Isn’t Runkandel supposed to thank me for sending Jonah to Sota Desert?
-In a turbulent world, if the Lord did it purely out of a willingness to stand by Runkandel’s side, it would be something to be thankful for.
-That’s not a very wrong story either.
-Kyung would have placed a condition instead of letting Yona go. Bring the original or duplicate of the blueprint to Private. Kyung would have tried to balance between the giant forces holding it as a negotiating plaque. Wouldn’t this also be a very wrong story?
-hmm.
-Even for Sir, the cost of deceiving Runcandel is heavy. But I don’t want to turn Nameless into an enemy with this. Come with me to Sota Desert.
-That’s the story of my generation’s obscurity playing with Zipple, Sir Rosa.
-I won’t make you very difficult. Engaging in combat and stealing vaults means that Exotics do not have to participate. Kyung-eun, please help me hide. Concealing others is not even Jonah can follow the sutra?
As he said, Owl only helped with hiding and observation. Not only he, but the unknown best killers who came to Sota Desert with him did not pull out their swords even once until the incident was over.
– Acting householder, as confirmed so far, the only remaining members inside the 2nd Mage Tower are Sandra Ziple and 4 members of the Wraith. The 12th and 4th riders have also entered the Mage Tower, so the battle should have ended by now.
– A phenomenon in which a first-class superhuman is using force is being detected.
-This vibration, the realm of kendo. Could it be that he was here… … .
– The symptoms continue to get worse. Acting family head, at this rate, there is a high possibility that the riders and Jane the Black Knight will die soon. Rescue operation, preparations are complete.
– Wait.
-… … Just now, there was a time distortion in the 2nd Mage Tower. The silver dragon’s claw was used. Jonah also participated. Sir Rosa, are you all right?
-You seem worried about Jonah, Sir Owl.
-2 The Mage Tower collapse begins, Draka’s main force will come soon. Acting California Governor, this is your last chance to approach.
-Keep waiting.
If only mission success and riders’ survival were the goal.
Rosa should have entered then.
But Rosa Runkandel wanted to check more.
I was looking forward to the moment when Joshua Runkandel awakens and blooms. If not even that, I wanted to see him at least make a better judgment than the maknae.
At least that much I believed I could do.
-1st class superhuman battle stop, presumably due to Sandra Ziple’s influence. We are moving to the ship Grenil.
-2 Mage Tower battle ends. The riders escape. Black Knight Jane is confirmed to be mortally wounded, and Sandra Zipple joins them.
Later, the riders met Zephyrin and asked for an escort, Jin used his wisdom to break through the Romin Forest, and even the moment Jane made a sacrifice at the central border.
Rosa didn’t get to see what she expected in the end.

In the end, it wasn’t Joshua who made the mission a success this time… … it was gin
“While you’re making poor judgments throughout the mission, trying to save clones at all costs, and causing the family Dark Knight to be lost in the process.”
“under… … I was watching all of that.”
“Your youngest brother risked his life every moment to fight and eventually succeeded in his mission. Without the help of me and my family.”
“Why didn’t you help me! If you had stepped out, couldn’t you have saved Sir Jane… … !”
“okay? That’s rather what I want to ask. Why didn’t you use the powers the Prophet planted in your clone when fighting Hedo?”
Joshua didn’t use that power until Jane’s sacrifice.
“Is it because you wanted to save copying? It won’t be just that. you guys were expecting If it’s the youngest, if it’s Deepus, if it’s Murakan, if it’s the family’s black knight! Wouldn’t it be possible to get better results without consuming duplicates? Such disgusting expectations.”
“No, I am. I am… … A volcano after all.”
“That’s because at that time, your only option was that. Weak people like you mistake the choice that they were forced to make as their own will… … .”
“Unfolded… … Family name… … for.”
“If I hadn’t hesitated and used that power when I met Hedo, Jane wouldn’t have died. Because I was in the desert Everyone was prepared to die only once from time to time, but you saved cloning until the end. That was your real choice and will.”
Joshua couldn’t say anything.
Even if he was stripped naked and his internal organs exposed, he would not have felt more pierced from the inside than this.
“Then, terrified, he led the knights back to the family, stuttering at just a few words of my questioning, trembling and begging for fault… … ? When you were cut by my sword, couldn’t you scream and fight back?”
Perseverance of will beyond right and wrong, transcendental struggle.
Until the very end, Joshua only disappointed Rosa.
As for her, what was even more bittersweet to the point of madness. It was the fact that when Joshua had disgusting expectations of Jean, she did too. Rosa too, from a certain point on, was not Joshua’s choice, but she was focusing on how far Jin could go.
Gene Runkandel, his youngest son.
He always had the power to make everyone look forward to it. Just like Luna did.
“It’s not just Sota Desert, Joshua. In the meantime, I have sent eyes watching you to the many missions you have participated in. And I was never satisfied.”
“Kill… … I don’t deserve to be alive. Both the mother and the members of the family. Nothing will be expected of me anymore.”
“This is a place where you cannot die even if you want to die. Your sins are not light enough to be solved by death. And like you said, I don’t expect anything from you anymore. But, the prophecy you have.”
… …
Shiron Runkandel calls the shadows again, and has… …
… …
… …
Joshua Runcandel.
Joshua Runkandel calls for the shadow again, and will have it. That shadow will never again pass away in the glory of Joshua Runkandel.
Finally, your war will end in victory, and eternal blessings will fall upon the earth.
Worship him who summoned the shadows.
“I think the absolutely felt language of God is still worth looking forward to.”
Joshua laughed involuntarily at that point.
“Puhh… … prophecy? Until just now, you have praised the value of my outstanding brothers and family, and told me that the place I should be is not on the ground, but in hell… … Are you saying that you expect the prophecy that has not yet been manifested?”
“You are not dead yet. And I look forward not only to the fulfillment of the prophecy, but also to the struggle to break it. Your youngest brother, Jin. It seems unlikely that the child’s struggles will not break the prophecy. No matter how absolute it is.”
“under.”
“Prophecy or struggle, which one do you think I have more expectations for?”
Rosa turned around.
She went on like this with a hint of arsenic.
“If there ever comes a day in this dungeon where your prophecies lead you into a real world of struggle, if you endure that world. I’ll bring you back to the ground of course… … As always, your predictions will disappoint me this time too. Just like you always have.”
