Episode 890
As soon as Raon heard that the Iron Squadron had sent a request for emergency assistance, he immediately rushed to the throne room.
“See you, matriarch.”
I got up from the throne and knelt down to Glenn who was looking out the window.
“Get up.”
Glenn slowly turned his back and motioned for me to get up.
“thank you.”
Raon bowed his head to Glenn once more and stood up.
“I heard that the Iron Squadron sent a request for emergency assistance.”
“It looks like the non-banquet owner spoke first.”
Glenn looked at Chad standing behind Raon and nodded calmly.
“Just as you said, a request for emergency assistance came in a little while ago. Although it is not as strong as Gwangpungdae, Cheoljeondae has achieved a lot of growth by carrying out difficult missions, so it is rare for it to ask for support first.”
He lowered his eyebrows while holding a letter that appeared to be from Ironlord Travin.
“I guess that means it’s such a difficult mission.”
Raon let out a heavy breath.
“The mission originally given to the Cheoljeondae was not difficult.”
Glenn let out a short breath and shook his head.
“What was the original mission of the Iron Squadron?”
“It’s reconnaissance.”
“reconnaissance… .”
Raon’s eyes widened at the unexpected mission of the Cheoljeondae.
‘So something serious happened during reconnaissance?’
Reconnaissance missions are cumbersome and take a long time as they only cover Sieghart territory, but they are not that dangerous.
I became anxious as to what had happened and sent a request for emergency assistance.
“If you leave Sieghardt’s territory and move northeast, there is a nomad village named Bodri. “It was originally a fairly large place, but it has become even bigger now as people who lost their homes and villages in the war gathered here.”
Glenn suddenly brought up a story about Baudry village that had nothing to do with Sieghart.
“yes. I know.”
He nodded because he had also seen the village of Baudry from afar.
“The Iron Squadron is about to return to the family after completing its reconnaissance mission, and they have requested help to stop the monster.”
“If you were the owner of the iron mine, you would definitely have said you would help.”
Raon smiled slightly, remembering Travin’s face.
‘Of course I followed.’
Travin is a person who did not ignore himself even when he was weak and had a low status, but recognized him as a prosecutor.
Even if nomads who were not part of Sieghardt had asked for help, he would have gladly accepted it.
“okay. “I told him to accept it because he asked for my permission first.”
Glenn, like Travin, said with a slight smile that he sent the report first.
“The head of the family… .”
“If that village disappears, there will be nothing left for the nomads.”
He clenched his chin as if it was obvious.
“Yes.”
Raon slightly raised his lips, feeling the warmth glimmering in Glenn’s dry eyes.
“The first report said that a small number of monsters continued to appear. Since I wasn’t that strong, I said I would take care of it and come back. but… .”
Glenn took down the letter Travin had sent the first time and opened the letter that seemed to have arrived this time.
“They say that endless monsters are coming up from the land now dyed purple.”
He lowered his eyebrows deeply.
“It is said that even if you kill them, they keep coming up, and now they have been pushed out to the village. “They said they asked for help because they felt that if time passes like this, the nomads’ homeland itself will disappear.”
Glenn read Travin’s letter and folded it in half.
“Monsters that appear in the purple-stained land… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the letter Glenn had folded.
‘Is it one of the three?’
The birth of a king, the black tower or Eden.
There was a possibility that a new king would be born and monsters would gather there, and there was also a possibility that he would carry out a trick in Eden or the Black Tower.
I didn’t think I would be able to figure out the cause until I saw it in person.
“Actually, it has nothing to do with Sieghardt. “It doesn’t matter if I send a return order to the Iron Squadron.”
Glenn explained the current situation in a calm voice.
“Will you still go?”
He bent his heavy eyes as if asking his true intentions.
“yes. “I will go.”
Raon nodded without the slightest hesitation.
“It’s not Sieghard’s job now, but it could soon be ours. In addition, there is a possibility that Ouma may do something, so it is right to prevent it in advance.”
Even if it happens outside of Sieghardt’s territory, it could one day become his. It was right to stop it before it got any bigger.
“Cheoljeon Daeju said he wanted to join Gwangpungjeon, and he has already asked for a mission to produce results. I like it.”
Raon bowed his head and asked me to give him this mission.
“is it.”
Glenn warmed up Raon’s cold complexion with a smile, as if he was pleased with Raon’s answer.
“As you said, the right thing to do is to cut off dangerous shoots before they grow any bigger.”
He calmly nodded and lowered his hand.
“Actually, I could have given this mission to the Central Military Command, but since it is Gwangpungdae that will be sharing a meal with Cheoljeondae, I thought it would be best for you to go.”

Glenn smiled slightly as he told me why he had called him.
“I feel the same way. “Thank you for calling me in advance.”
Raon lowered his head with his hand on his chest.
‘It’s just the right opportunity.’
It was almost certain that the Iron Squadron would enter Gwangpungjeon, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take this opportunity to check out the skills of the new subordinates.
“As the head of the family said, the Gwangpungdae will take charge of this support mission.”
I bowed to Glenn, telling him I would accept the mission.
“This is a request for emergency assistance, so there is no need to submit a separate report to me. “Let’s leave as soon as you’re ready.”
He waved his hand as if to tell me to go ahead.
“I’m leaving for battle in two days, and you’re just as busy as me.”
Cheryl tilted her chin slightly, saying she wouldn’t see him for a while.
“Have a safe trip.”
She waved her hand slightly and said she would see her later.
“Hehehe.”
Roen smiled hollowly and came forward.
“If you’re the great lord, you don’t really need any advice. “I just hope you arrive safely.”
He carefully lowered his head as if asking for Travin.
“then.”
Raon greeted Glenn, Roen, and Cheryl in turn and left the throne room.
“I used to be a little uneasy about that back view… .”
Roen looked at the door Raon left through and shook his head briefly.
“I just feel reassured now. “No matter what happens to the Iron Squadron, I think they will be able to save us safely.”
He burst out laughing, saying he had no idea Ra On’s back would become so strong.
“I had a similar feeling.”
Cheryl nodded, holding her left wrist with her right hand.
“During the last mission, when Raon stood in front of me, it felt like he was seeing the head of the family. “He won’t lose no matter who his enemy is.”
She gave a thin smile and said that there was no need to worry about the steel belt.
“Hehehe!”
Glenn seemed to feel better after Cheryl and Loen’s words praising Raon, so he turned his ankles slightly as if dancing.
“It’s not to that extent, it’s to the point where I can do my job no matter where I put it.”
Despite his humble words, he was unable to hide his bright expression as if a light had been turned on.
“Not long ago, when you were sparring with me, you kept moving even after receiving a barrage of lightning strikes. “He still looks immature, but if he gains more experience, there will be few warriors who can top that kid.”
Glenn whetted his appetite, saying that the only people above Raon right now are the leaders of Ohwang Oma and Shinju Oryeong.
“Matriarch.”
Chad, the non-banquet owner, approached the podium and bowed his head.
“One more report came in on the way to pick up Raon.”
He lowered his head and took out a white envelope from his arms.
“This is a letter from an agent who monitors the Hsinchu Five Spirits.”
“Shinju Oryeong… .”
As soon as Glenn read the letter Chad gave him, his warm eyes calmed down.
A cold energy wave erupted around him, fitting so well with the name King of the North.
“Are you going to end up making a stupid choice?”
* * *
As soon as Raon left the throne room, he returned to the 5th training hall.
The Gwangpungdae prosecutors also heard Chad’s words, so everyone remained in the training hall and waited.
Raon went up to the stage, facing Gwangpungdae’s stern face.
Burren, Marta, and Runaan stood in front of their respective groups with upright posture, while Mark Goeton stood at the edge of the podium with his hands folded in front of him.
“As you have heard… .”
Raon looked down at the Gwangpungdae swordsmen with calm eyes and parted his lips.
“The Iron Squadron sent a request for support. “It will definitely be a dangerous mission, considering that people who can solve any problem on their own have asked for emergency support.”
He put his chin down, saying it would definitely not be an easy mission.
“but. When we were in danger, Cheoljeondae also came running to us without even looking back. “Now it’s our turn to help them.”
Raon said it was time to repay the debt he had received and placed his hand on the Jecheon Sword.
“That sounds obvious. No, even if that’s not the case, you have to go!”
Marta nodded loudly, exclaiming that if they were from the same family, they should help at all costs.
“It’s amazing to hear the sound of your family name coming out of your mouth.”
Buren looked at Marta and smiled.
“But that’s still true. “It is right to help your colleagues no matter what situation they are in.”
He clenched his fists, saying he had to save them even if it meant risking his life.
“Travin. He cried a lot when he told me that Raon had died… .”
Runaan nodded, saying that Travin was really sad when she went missing.
“Now we have to help… .”
She said she really wanted to help and hugged the newly forged Seolhwa.
“Is it east? “It’s nice that the horsespun trees growing there are hard and resilient!”
Dorian laughed, saying that he would have to pack up supplies while he was gone.
“You seem to be more crazy about supply these days?”
Crane shook his head, saying he didn’t understand more and more.
“There is a ghost who just takes things and uses them, so you should take them when you have the chance!”
Dorian stomped his foot while secretly swearing at someone.
“Sir Mark Gotten.”
Raon ignored Dorian’s words and called Mark Goeton.
“I guess I’ll have to go and get the hang of the new province.”
“of course.”
Mark Goeton smiled slightly, saying it was okay.
“It actually worked out well. “I wanted to spend more time sparring and have a real match, and it looks like it will be a good opportunity.”
He said it was better and rested his chin leisurely. It really seemed like the bowl itself had gotten bigger.
“Then, after you finish preparing for departure, please gather here until evening.”
“yes!”
Gwangpungdae shouted as if he had been waiting and ran to his dormitory and home.
-Keu… .
Ras let out a low expression of admiration as he watched the Gwangpungdae leaving.
-Those guys have grown up a lot, too. They say you grow fond of it if you look at it for a long time, so it’s not that bad.
The guy nodded, saying that Gwangpungdae had grown well thanks to his teachings.
‘Well, it’s not entirely wrong.’
Raon smiled and nodded.
‘But why are you so quiet?’
-What are you talking about? This king is quiet by nature.
Lars tilted his chin and said that his nickname was the Silent Demon King.
‘Sounds like shit… .’
-Bo, you are dog shit to the king!
The guy waved his hand up and down, telling me to cancel.
‘Not talking nonsense like the Silent Demon King, but he doesn’t say anything even though he suddenly goes on a mission.’
It was surprising that this guy, who would normally run amok because he didn’t like the food he ate while sleeping in the open, was quiet.
-Since you kept your promise to the king, shouldn’t the king also be patient?
Lars kept his promise to eat whatever he wanted for ten days, so he waved his hand and said that he was holding back.
‘Wow, did you know you could think of something like that?’
Raon patted Lars on the head and gave him a sincere compliment.
-joy. This king is the monarch of the demon world! Giving and receiving are swords!
Lars snorted with a red face, as if he was happy to be praised.
-But isn’t this the time for you to think about the king?’
‘What does that mean?’
Raon tilted his head while looking at Lars.
-Your sister. I’m having fun learning swordsmanship from you, and I’m sure you’ll say it’s great if I leave!
Lars looked excited to see Sia’s expression.
‘ah.’
Raon swallowed dry saliva as he remembered Sia’s face.
‘ruined… .’
* * *
Because it was an emergency support mission, all members of the Gwangpungdae gathered at Training Center 5 before the evening was over.
While all the prosecutors were standing in front of the podium in a straight posture, Raon opened the door to the training room and came in.
“uh?”
Buren’s eyelids trembled slightly as he watched Raon climb up to the stage.
“Great, great lord. Head… .”
He looked at Raon’s head, which was bent up like a swallow building a nest, and was in a daze.
“Is this Sister Xia’s work?”
Marta giggled as if she knew that would happen.
“It seems like I got a little less ripped off this time though.”
She said she was glad and waved her hand.
“i envy you… .”
Runaan licked his lips and said that he was envious of something he didn’t know.
“As expected, Sister Sia! “The only person who can defeat the Great Lord is Sister Xia!”
Dorian cried out that it was cool and pounded his chest.
“No matter how much you are my sister, I never thought you would be treated like that. “Do-gae-nim, right?”
Crane spoke to Do-goe, saying that it was his first time seeing Ra-on weak.
“Hehehehe… .”
Do-goe, who would normally have called it pathetic, cleared his throat and looked away because he was also weak towards Sia.
“stop.”
Raon brushed back his disheveled blonde hair like Glenn and stood at the end of the podium.
“As I said, because it is an emergency support mission, there will be very little rest time. “You will have to keep running, so prepare in advance.”
In the past, it would have been unavoidable to allocate rest time, but since everyone in the current Gwangpungdae is a master, they were able to reduce sleeping time to a minimum.
“This support may be the last mission we perform as Gwangpungdae, so I hope that it will be successful until the end.”
Raon made eye contact with each of the Gwangpungdae swordsmen and nodded.
“All right!”
Every single one of the Gwangpungdae swordsmen stamped their feet and roared.
“Then let’s go.”
Raon got down from the stage and walked to the center of the gwangpungdae in full line.
The swordsmen he passed followed behind, taking on a sword-like shape.
A state where everyone cheers each other up even though the checkup has not been completed. The advance of the Gwangpungdae was accompanied by strong and sharp energy waves as heavy as the sword power they had built up.
* * *
Raon and the Gwangpungdae moved to the end of Sieghart’s territory through the portal and then moved east.
Most places can be reached within a few days by using a portal, but the place where the iron train crossed was outside that area, so there was no choice but to stay up all night and run.
Fortunately, thanks to limiting my sleep time to two hours and eating Nadine bread while listening to Lars’ struggles, I was able to arrive near my destination more than half a day earlier than the time requested by the Iron Squadron.
-Ah… .
Lars wiped his tongue with his hand and shook his head.
-I can tolerate not being able to sleep, but Nadine bread will make me crazy! Even if it doesn’t taste good, it’s not that good! How can bread taste like rubber?
The guy rubbed his tongue hard, saying he was going to die.
‘It’s not long now.’
Raon lightly tapped Lars’ head, who was whining like a puppy.
‘If you turn off your urgent complaints, you will be able to eat a proper meal. ‘Be patient.’
It was okay for him to eat Nadine bread for the rest of his life, but since Lars and the other swordsmen were having a hard time, he felt like he should take a break first after arriving in the village.
‘still… .’
Raon smiled slightly as he watched the Gwangpungdae swordsmen climbing the mountain following him.
‘You’re holding up well.’
In the past, they would have been physically and mentally exhausted and their faces would have shown that they were tired, but now no one seemed tired and they were climbing the mountain with firm steps.
– Even those little kids come up, and if they say it’s hard, they have to give up.
Lars snorted as he looked at Yua and Julius, who had brighter complexions than the others.
‘yes.’
Yua and Julius were following behind with brighter faces so as not to put pressure on their seniors.
Because of those children, the prosecutors could never show themselves tired.
“If you cross this mountain, you will see the village right away. “Please cheer up a little.”
We climbed to the top of the mountain first, encouraging Gwangpungdae.
“uh… ?”
However, the village of nomads that was supposed to be in the east was not visible.
Whoa!
The only thing that filled the mountains and grasslands where the village should be was a gloomy purple sea.
