Episode 237
Winds change stock
But that flash did not reach Augustine.
Chaaaang!
Just before the blade touches the nape of the neck. This was because something else suddenly came out and blocked the flash.
“Elric… Mervinger.”
The owner of the flash immediately recognized who was blocking him.
“It’s been a while, huh?”
Elric waved lightly with his left hand as if he was happy to see him.
Above the pitch-black pupils of the ‘ghost’ wearing a wooden mask. Elric’s face was reflected like a mirror.
He was the same guy who came from the border guard to assassinate the 4th prince Cromhel but failed.
Paaaa-
Elric’s eyes were shining sharper than ever.
“I’ll make sure to catch it this time.”
“If I can.”
The two had a brief conversation.
Paaaaat!
Kwa-kwa-kwang-kurrr!
They became two different beams of light and immediately began to collide.
Elric ran forward, and the man in the ghost-tree mask took a step back.
Ghost’s strengths are excellent hiding ability and nimble feet. Of course, if his actions were discovered, he had no choice but to retreat for a moment and then try to attack him again.
Elric, on the other hand, tried to catch the ghost somehow.
“【Catch it】.”
Sigh!
At the moment when the seal of the winter world seemed to emit a bright ray of light, merciless chains appeared from all over the ground, trying to snatch the ghost.
Whirling!
However, the ghost lightly hit the ground and did a swallow turn in the air, dodging all the chains, and deflecting the chains that were cutting into blind spots with the sword.
Chaaaang!
Elric narrowed the gap between them and thrust his ice spear forward forcefully.
Gang body art.
Meng Ho is dispatched – Gyeong (勁).
Boramae’s spirit.
Vision Beak.
When the two techniques were used together, a white light burst out like a firework from the edge of the ice spear.
Using rigid body techniques, he added rotational power to his magic power to firmly set the tip of the spear, fixed his thoughts on the ghost, and launched the spear, resulting in a stronger destructive power than ever before.
In particular, the body of Elric who used this has already been strengthened as much as possible thanks to dragon blood.
The power no longer needed to be explained separately.
The spot where the spear blade tore through the air and the gust of wind spreading out in ripples were clearly visible to the naked eye.
Kwaaaaang!
The ghost seemed to think that this was something he could not avoid, so he thrust forward with the sword he was holding with all his might.
The swordsmanship that earned him the title ‘King’ in his hometown.
It was his signature skill of defeating an enemy in one go.
There was only one person in the empire who stopped this.
Andre Wins.
His close friend and rival, the Red Lion.
It was a friendship that began when he blocked a ghostly blow that attempted to assassinate him.
Eventually, the two offensives collided, causing a violent cloud of dust to rise. The shock wave turned into a whirlwind and raised a long pillar.
in between.
The bombardment of Augustine and the Senate had already begun.
“Initiate.”
With a word someone lightly threw, the magic circles formed all over the sky activated magic at once.
Fire and lightning fell, and ice storms poured down in piles.
Each and every one of them is magic so outstanding that it is difficult to express it in words.
The sight of everything that was once considered a threat to the empire being mobilized to capture just one castle was enough to leave the viewer speechless.
“Establish a barrier!”
“Barrier number 3 has been destroyed!”
“Replenish! hurry!”
“But we’ve already lost the core…” !”
“If your core is damaged, you have to heal it with your body!”
The barrier surrounding the castle was literally ‘melting’.
It was a protective shield that never flinched despite the fierce attacks of the mountain peoples.
The Senate was trying to directly collect such facts as if they were okay with it.
‘Nonsense… !’
Tedan was screaming a lot inside while encouraging his subordinates.
Even though the Senate of the Neresta family is full of famous old thugs, isn’t this too severe… !
‘These guys are several times stronger than what is known!’
Only then did Tedan know.
Compared to the power of the Senate that the Neresta family boasts, what is known to the public is nothing more than a blood clot.

People were busy disparaging it, saying it was just a senior center for the elderly and that the Neresta family really liked making up rumors.
In reality, this was also something they hid as best as they could!
But the bigger problem is.
‘The white night didn’t even move.’
Augustine was only keeping the white curtain open and had not yet made any significant moves.
That made Tedan’s stomach burn even more.
Crumbling-
After being destroyed, created, overheated, and eventually collapsed several times. With a huge explosion of alcohol, the entire barrier exploded.
“The barrier has collapsed!”
“Everyone stay where you are!”
“Hold your seat!”
“If you step back, everyone will die! Prevent the enemy from invading somehow! “Wizard troops, gather together!”
Tedan and the officers were busy running around trying to encourage the soldiers.
“If we stay like this… !”
“Everyone will die.”
“I’m going to be completely buried in the castle!”
However, contrary to the intentions of Tedan and others, morale was declining at a rapid rate.
I was already filled with fear because of Augustine’s absurd phenomenon, and with the bombings raining down non-stop, how could I not be overwhelmed?
In particular, seeing the group of stars that were still unstable, the fear could not help but spread further.
They are implying that it is not yet time for them to step forward.
The bombing will not stop there… .
just as expected.
Crumbling-
Bombing continued again at the site where the barrier collapsed. No, rather, greater magic than before poured out one after another.
It seemed like a wizard had hit the ground, and a violent earthquake shook the entire castle, and a huge vine came out of nowhere and wrapped itself around the castle.
In particular, the flower buds that had just bloomed on the vines even had their mouths wide open, like the maw of an animal craving food. You could directly see the stone floor corroding due to the solution flowing down like spit.
The soldiers had to duck down, unable to even think of sticking their heads above the wall.
However, what was interesting was that although there were one or two victims, the bombings themselves continued to hit only the walls of the castle, not the places where the soldiers were.
I could see the stone pillars collapsing and the watchtower collapsing. Part of the high castle was completely destroyed, making it a perfect situation for the enemy to invade.
The smell of burnt coal was all over the place.
However, it was difficult to find any significant casualties anywhere.
It looks as if they are avoiding and attacking where the soldiers are.
“W-Isn’t something strange…?” ?”
“Why isn’t it pouring upwards?”
At first, I thought that unlike their destructive power, their aiming was poor, but looking at their skills, it didn’t seem like that was the case.
It’s like they’re aiming for something else… .
‘No way!’
It was only then that Tedan realized the Senate’s intention and screamed inwardly.
‘To obtain surrender… !’
As soon as Tedan’s thoughts came to an end.
“Surrender.”
Augustine’s voice rang loudly again.
Tedan’s head turned back to where he was.
Augustine was smiling coldly.
“To be honest, it would be much easier for us to just bury you all alive. There will be some people who will make noise, but you can just ignore them.”
The soldiers had to keep their backs straight.
Because it was easy to see that those words were definitely not bluff.
Look at it now.
Isn’t the entire castle half destroyed?
and.
Tsutsutsu!
Before they knew it, a white fog began to form at the feet of the soldiers.
Fog the same color as the white night covering the sky.
And from there, a wave of white light appeared, looking like a human hand.
It seemed as if he would grab them by the collar at any moment and drag them to the abyss where they were, which made them even more afraid.
I couldn’t have known that it was Augustine’s magic.
“But we decided not to do that right away. If it’s your fault, it’s just that you took the wrong side. Surrender. Those who surrender will be spared. Not only him, but his family, relatives, colleagues… “I will save everyone.”
‘This…’ You were aiming for this… !’
Tedan’s complexion turned pale.
Because only then could I clearly know what the star sect was aiming for.
They were trying to swallow them whole. Not just the fortress, but the entire territory.
The entire borderland that the Red Lion and the Winds family had pioneered and settled over decades!
If the Red Castle continued to fight until the end, it was clear that the Star Wars would have to deal with considerable headaches in governing even if they took over the Winds Frontier Province. Because all the soldiers who died in the resistance were family members and friends of the border residents.
But what if surrender could be achieved without significant casualties? Naturally, the change-ism backlash was bound to decrease accordingly.
So, considering the lord’s army on the mainland of the empire, it was right to resist until the end. We had to stop them, even if every soldier here died. In that case, the border state will continue to be an ally of the Red Lion.
but.
‘You can’t do that… !’
So it causes too much damage. It’s not just soldiers. The same goes for residents of border states. What would you do if you were to incur a backlash from the enemy and end up being massacred?
It was a much more common occurrence than you might think for a victorious country to pillage a territory out of anger and turn it into a corpse field.
Do you really have the right to control their lives? Since this is a promise made by the Star Servant in the name of Mervinger, there is no lie whatsoever in his words that everyone will be spared if they surrender.
That’s why Tedan had to conflict. The lord, André Wins, told them to protect the Red Castle no matter what, but he was the one who repeatedly taught them that the lives of the border residents were the most precious.
If it’s Andre Wynz.
How would a red lion move forward in this situation?
“Surrender.”
Recommendation sent again.
Because I know very well that it is the final advice.
“… .”
Tedan had to close his eyes tightly without realizing it.
* * *
“The white flag has been raised!”
“… “It really works.”
Augustine laughed involuntarily at his subordinate’s report.
In fact, a large white flag was being hung on the roof of a half-collapsed castle in the distance.
It was a sign of surrender.
As Elric requested, I only gave him a lot of threats and recommended surrender, but… In fact, until the first time, both Augustine and the elders of the Senate had strong negative thoughts.
Even so, aren’t they clearly the headquarters of the rebels? Moreover, when it comes to pride, it is the home of a lion that is said to have reached the sky. To that extent, I thought there would never be surrender.
-no. The white flag will be raised. The Red Lion that we have personally seen and heard about from the ‘outside’ was that kind of person.
Elric’s assertion came true like a prophecy.
-so.
-I plan to make not only the Red Lion’s territory, but also him, my own.
Wizard who swallowed talent
