Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Chapter 541

Chapter 541

Episode 145. omen (10)

Inside the fortress, the priests and medical staff were busy taking care of the wounded.

Even though they won a great victory in the first match, there were about 2,000 casualties in Geomwangseong. It was impossible for the healing priests to deal with all of them in just two days.

Outside, the work of repairing the defense equipment of the Geomhwangseong was in full swing, led by Amela.

Her equipment recovery speed was unparalleled even if it was called miraculous. Even if there were thousands of gifted professional engineers, she could not match her ability alone.

However, equipment repair was a problem that could not be solved in two days, just like the recovery of the injured.

The dozens of hands formed by takgi did not rest even for a moment after the war ended, but the restoration was only about 20%.

“Father Barkas! From now on, I’ll just focus on improving and distributing the dragon spears. Since Enya can’t use the pain-prone flame barrier, she calculates all the numerous variables when she is hit… … No matter how many times you get hit hard, you have to find a spot where you can fire at least a couple of times. … Aww, the angle really doesn’t come out!”

She has fought countless wars, but it was the first time she had prepared for a war that felt so meaningless.

“A little better than standing still, it really isn’t like hitting a rock with an egg. If Kelliac is on board, the range of the magic input injection type all-weather crushing cannon is far beyond the dragon spear in the first place. The result is too shabby compared to the effort.”

Geomwangseong has to fight with lower power than in the first war, while Jiple is coming with the largest power of the family.

In fact, even if Ron was alive and well, even if the Empire did not betray him and fought alongside Hiran, it was a battle with no chance of victory.

The only thing in the world that could do what could be called a ‘fight’ against Ziple, who was doing his best, was only Runkandel.

“Ghost sword.”

Balkas found Casimir.

“What do you think it looks like?”

“Are you talking about Runkandel?”

Even without any other explanation, Casimir immediately understood what Balkas meant.

The Bamal Alliance knew that Runcandel was camped nearby.

Although he had not personally witnessed it, he was confident that Jin’s prediction would not be wrong.

“Since the value of the white stone has been proven by the fact that Ziple’s main force has come forward, we will never stand still, just like Confucius said. However, Runkandel will want the White Stone to be destroyed in some way during the war, without their involvement.”

“I think so too. It’s a dangerous item that even the lord of the palace is wary of due to its unknown use, so Runcandel must be hoping for it to break during the war.”

“No matter what the value of the stone, it is unlikely that the two families will engage in all-out war. I’m sure it will flow into a negotiating atmosphere… … In my opinion, rather, the biggest issue seems to be the choice of Confucius, not the two great powers.”

Whether Runkandel and Ziple engage in an all-out war or negotiate depends on Jin’s choice.

Casimir understood the situation that way.

“If the lord gives up Hailan with his friend, there will be negotiations, and if he does not give up, it will be an all-out war… … That’s what you said.”

“That’s right. And as you know… … .”

“My lord is never the one to choose the latter.”

“But I’m not the kind of person who will choose the former without any countermeasures, driven by emotion.”

The two nodded at the same time.

“Confucius believes in the family. To be precise, I must say that I am using it.”

Are you really going to take the white stone even while engaging in an all-out war with Runkandel?

will you be able to afford it?

Casimir thought that Jin was putting pressure on Ziple with his family, Runkandel, behind him.

That’s why the first plan, that is, to rescue Dante and the knights of Hiran and leave the Geomwangseong, failed, but he chose to persist.

So far, Jin has been able to overcome almost all adversity with the help of himself and his colleagues, without the help of his family.

In this way, it was the first time that Runcandel, the power of one’s origin itself, was used in its entirety. Even when Rosa is directly conducting.

“If Ziffle picks up the pressure and starts an all-out war, Gongja will force the Bamal Alliance and all the knights of Hilan out of the fight. From then on, this war will not be the Sword Emperor’s Holy War, but a rotating battle between Runcandel and Ziple, so we will exclude all non-Runkandel allies even with the help of the family’s force.”

“It’s a lordly way. I’m sure you’ll do as the ghost says. In the event of an all-out war, there could be problems in the process of leaving Runkandel, so I wanted to send everyone out in advance, but the people gathered in Highran did not back down.”

“What do you think of the possibility that Sir Rosa can subdue Gongja and negotiate with Ziffle?”

Casimir was most worried about that.

With the exception of Shiron and the former Dark Knights, the elite army of Runcandel, led by Rosa herself, is close to strength. The Barmal Alliance now has the power to rise to the 5th force, but it was not enough to protect the camp against Rosa.

“I don’t think you need to worry about that. The master is now the closest rider to Runcandel’s next family head. It is impossible to subdue or punish the lord by force while Ziffle is watching in front of him.”

“Then, Sir Rosa has no choice but to respect Confucius’ judgment after all.”

“My lord is also Runcandel. Although the methods are different, Lord Rosa and the master have the same purpose as Runcandel. Even if it seems like the lord is acting forcefully with the family on his back, it won’t be a fatal problem as long as it doesn’t deviate from the premise that it’s an act that blocks the profits of Zipple.”

“… … I have a feeling that this war may not just decide the fate of the Black Emperor, but of the world.”

“Neither do I.”

“Even if Sir Dante wakes up and we all escape the Imperial Palace, it will only put the situation on hold in the end. All-out war, negotiations. One of the two is bound to happen. As long as the white stone is not destroyed.”

The white stone is destroyed, and the chaos lurking within it never wakes up.

That would be the only case that could end the situation as reliably as possible, but Thalaris judged the odds very low.

“We just need to focus on supporting the lord in any situation. The lord will not give up on his friend, but if the lord is in danger of falling because of that… … .”

We must make sure that even if we trample on the master’s heart, he will not fall.

Barkas continued in a dark voice.

The words had many meanings.

If Jin risked his life saying that he would not give up on Hilan even after the worst situation, then even if it meant killing everyone in Hilan directly in front of him.

It is to make Jin retreat.

“The lord is obviously a strong man. But that strong inner side is sometimes the master’s weakness. Even though I haven’t served my lord for a long time yet, it seems that way.”

“… … I see what you mean.”

“I can only hope that it never happens.”

It’s past midnight.

Please, I hope that the emperor will wake up and raise the dignity of this land again, that Dante will safely escape from the seal of chaos, that the enemies will arrive a little later, and that the dawn of today, which will probably be the last, will not be as empty and pitiful as it is. .

Time was passing swiftly and savagely, laughing at the countless wishes and prayers of those gathered in Geomwangseong.

“… … The Ziffle main body has been confirmed above the Ketu Mountains. We will arrive at Geomwangseong in about three hours.”

The knights who went out of bounds informed the castle that the enemies were close to their noses.

“Sir Casimir.”

“Yes, Confucius.”

“Please return the healing priests to the Holy Land, and give orders to Lord Luton and my Guardian Knights to return. In addition, please evacuate all the injured members of the Barmal Alliance, as well as those armed with Gilly and below.”

Currently, the official affiliation of the youngest division is Runkandel, not Barmal Union. Luton, who led them, was an outcast, so it was only right to leave the battlefield before Runkandel came to the fore.

The healing priests did their duty.

“All right.”

The name of this war is still the Sword Emperor’s Holy War.

That’s why Jin only commanded the Barmal Union, but the knights of Hiran regarded Jin as their commander.

Jin did not give them separate orders. Strictly speaking, the current commander-in-chief of the Hiran army in the Sword Emperor Temple was Lu Yan, the head of the five sword castles.

However, Lu Yan did not give orders to the knights of Hilan, and she also treated Jin as the commander-in-chief.

There is no need to issue an order because all the knights of Hiran are already standing in their respective positions in a desperate fight, and the reason why Jin is the one who puts everything aside as soon as the war begins and puts all of himself into the Geomwangseong It was a sign of respect and admiration for him.

Before climbing the castle wall, Jin looked at Dante, who was imprisoned in a seal, for the last time.

“Dante.”

The seal of chaos that imprisoned Dante contained a much deeper darkness than the first.

Neither the color of the white stones that shone as if they were laughing at someone, nor the blurry figure of Dante could be seen at all.

Jin was silent for a while with his hand on the seal.

He was afraid that no words would convey his full feelings, and that his friend might be listening to his troubled voice, which would affect the war against chaos going on inside him.

Instead, Jin stared at his friend for a long time. She let me know that there is someone standing tall waiting for you who will never give up on you.

It’s time.

Colleagues were approaching Jin to inform them of the arrival of enemies.

“See you later.”

Eventually, as Jin climbed the wall, the five Swordsmen and the leader of the Dragon Knights, Kalmain, bowed to him by ignoring him.

“Sword Saint Ruyan, I express my respect and gratitude to you on behalf of Hilan. It is an honor to fight alongside you.”

“Kalmain Aita, the leader of the Knights of the Dragon, Hiran and this land will not forget that you were our benefactor even in death.”

Jin slowly met their gaze.

“Jin Runkandel, Commander-in-Chief of the Bamal Alliance, 12th Horseman of Runkandel. I am infinitely grateful to Hai Lan and to those who have gathered for Hai Lan for allowing me to fight for my friend.”

Jin raised his eyes and looked at the dark dawn sky behind Ruyan and Kalmain.

I could see Ziffle’s fleet engulfed in the magical power of flames and blazing red. It looked like an ominous sun rising.

And a human who can protect the entire fleet with such a huge and deep flame and show his dignity in this world.

There was only one person.

‘Kelliac Ziple… … .’

The pinnacle of heartless and dirty magic.

He personally led the Ziple and came to Geomwangseong.
