Episode 141. The starting point of the waves.
“Get ready to face a new wave. “I will come back then.”
Edward disappeared, leaving behind meaningful words.
I wanted to settle the matter with him when the opportunity arose, but there was nothing I could do since he had decided to run away.
I know why he left without settling the matter with me.
Perhaps he noticed that my artifact reacted when he used the first spell.
‘That’s why I ran away to find a way to attack this guy.’
In any case, we succeeded in blocking Glazer’s surprise attack.
It was a fierce battle that resulted in the loss of hundreds of troops, and the sudden attack caused considerable damage within the territory.
Because of this battle, I was able to secure a clear victory.
“Sister, can you control Fenrir?”
When Edward retreated Glaser’s forces, Fenrir, the so-called divine beast, was not taken with him.
Maybe he couldn’t reach his strength or he couldn’t decide whether to take him with him.
“It is possible, but without the necklace, unpredictable things may happen.”
“What is that?”
“Just like the last time they went on a rampage in the canyon, they did not follow the controls and attacked indiscriminately without distinction between friend and foe.”
Anyway, my plan is to leave Fenrir behind enemy lines.
If you storm there, there are no friendly forces, so it doesn’t matter whether you attack indiscriminately or not.
“That is enough. “Could you please send Fenrir back to the east now?”
“To the east? Then they will start to take control again.”
“no. “No one with your necklace is there now, so they won’t be able to stop Fenrir like last time.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, the person with the necklace was defeated by me in this battle. “After he died, I looked at his neck and there was no necklace.”
Valentine looked at Fenrir, who was sleeping soundly outside the castle, and nodded briefly.
“… I get it. “When my Fenrir wakes up, I will send him straight to the east.”
“Thank you.”
“Thank you, anyway, what happened to Edward? “During the battle with you, I suddenly smelled the tower.”
“… … .”
“Could it be that he also received a call from the Tower?”
I couldn’t help but tilt my head at her question. Sister Valentine has clearly witnessed Monestiere’s awakening as an apostle, and she must know the process by which that happens.
Why are you asking these questions after seeing Edward’s past just a moment ago?
When there was no answer, she asked again.
“Verdin, don’t you know?”
“I know. “I just don’t know why you’re asking me.”
“You don’t know why you’re asking?”
“Yes, you have clearly witnessed Baron Monestier’s awakening. “You’re asking about Edward, who looks exactly the same.”
Valentine looked at me blankly with wide eyes, then turned his gaze to a distant place and became lost in thought.
“Edward looked like Monestier?”
“That’s right. I don’t know if it was a god or the owner of the tower, but a black liquid appeared from somewhere and enveloped their bodies. “We changed the space to show their past lives.”
“Yes, that’s what I experienced when dealing with my Monestier. But Edward, who came to Castle Strange this time… . “You didn’t see those things happen?”
“You couldn’t see it?”
“Yes, I didn’t see the black liquid in my eyes nor did I see it in my last life when I dealt with Monestier.”
I turned to Beth and asked.
“Have you not seen Beth?”
“Yes, matriarch.”
Have you seen anyone else besides these two?
I even questioned Kaipa and his knights.
But no one but me saw Edward’s awakening.
The only unusual thing they saw was that black rain suddenly poured from the sky, turning into slime and attacking the castle.
‘What happened?’
I couldn’t understand what was happening, but I decided to answer my questions later.
Now is not the time for Edward’s awakening to matter. This is the moment to decide how we will take down the Glazers going forward.
“Sister, I don’t know why I was the only one who witnessed that scene. He was called by the tower and became an apostle. Now he cannot return to Glazer.”
She immediately understood why I said this and immediately ordered her knights to prepare for a sortie.
“Here’s a chance to end Glazer.”
“Yes, sister.”
* * *
After preparing to advance east, we gathered all of Strange’s troops in front of the castle.
There are over 3,000 knights of at least 3 stars, so there will be no one who can stop us now.
Not only did Edward, the core of the Glazers, disappear, most of their troops were both small and seriously injured from the battle a few hours ago, and they had used up a large amount of mana that could not be recovered in one day.
‘I am confident that this battle can end the war.’
Just as they took advantage of an unexpected opportunity and attacked Castle Strange quickly, if I counterattack with numbers they cannot read, their current forces will never be able to stop us.
‘then.’
I explained this operation to the commanders of each unit inside the barracks.
“Does anyone know how the Glazer wizards were able to infiltrate the castle without anyone noticing?”
There were at least twenty commanders, but no one answered.
Although these were all famous knights in their respective territories, it was not easy to read Glazer’s movements.
Only I understand Glazer’s hostility.

“If you don’t have one, I will explain their expected infiltration route.”
I picked up a pen and circled Carswell Harbor on the map and continued.
“First of all, they would have moved here quickly by sea. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to get to our castle so quickly from the southeastern end. “For that number of wizards to move with great mobility, they would need at least hundreds of horses.”
The commanders whispered and agreed to what I said.
“Furthermore, when I checked after the battle, not a single horse was seen on any of the roads leading east from the castle. In that case, it means that it either moved using mana, or used the power of something that could fly to this area at once.”
Kaipa, who was listening to my explanation, opened his eyes.
“S-No way?!”
“Did you notice?”
“I don’t know if my prediction is correct. “Did they use a warp gate?”
I smiled slightly at him.
“Maybe.”
“I can’t believe it. So that means Glazer knows the location of our warp gate. “Isn’t there very little information about him even within the family?”
“That’s right. I think there’s probably a rat hiding in the family that I haven’t been able to find. “I don’t think we need to worry too much about this since it will be revealed once the war is over anyway.”
Kaipa looked at the commanders in the barracks one by one with burning eyes.
“I will find you myself and kill you.”
“No, Lord Kaipa, there is no need for that. “There is someone else who can solve this problem better than us.”
“Who is that?”
“Lord Kaifa also knows this person.”
Maria Theresa smiled brightly at him.
Kaifa had seen her torture skills before, so he just looked away and nodded.
“All right.”
“Then, I think you can roughly know Glazer’s expected intrusion route like this. “Now let me explain to you our plan to attack them.”
After taking a picture of the sea route they came by with a pen, I continued talking while drawing a long line eastward through the sea.
“As you all know, there is a barrier set up by Glazer on the border right now to prevent anyone from approaching.”
There was no need to explain this as everyone knew about it.
“So, if we also cross to the east via the sea, we will be able to carry out a quick attack before the enemy prepares a defensive posture.”
One of the commanders, an old man with half a bald head, raised his hand.
“Matriarch, the waves from the east are approaching this area right now. Wouldn’t it be too dangerous to go to the enemy camp by sea?”
I shook my head firmly.
“You don’t have to worry about waves from the east.”
“You don’t need to worry?”
“Yes, as you all know, the eastern waves were with us in this battle.”
“… … .”
“Those monsters are the ones who disposed of the black slime summoned by the wizards.”
Most commanders do not know the identity of black slime.
The only thing that is known is that it suddenly appeared with black rain pouring from the sky, and has shown its hostility towards us and attacked us.
“So, are you saying that the black slime is a monster summoned by wizards, and that the waves from the east helped us?”
“For now, I have no choice but to think that way. “They left the castle after swallowing all the black slime.”
“… “Maybe they just came to fill their stomachs.”
“If they needed food, they would have joined hands with the same monster, Slime, and attacked us too, right?”
“You know you can’t beat us, so you tried to catch relatively weak slimes, right?”
“Would the guys who came to the battlefield to avoid starvation fight while comparing their strength with the enemy?”
“Should I say it’s a survival instinct…? . Monsters also have the same senses as animals. “Isn’t it like that to survive?”
Flutter!
As soon as the question was finished, a finger-length dagger was stabbed into the old man’s back.
“Wow… .”
I slowly turned my head and saw Kaipa looking down at the old man with a stern expression.
“Do you think we are here to hear your opinion? Or do you think we gathered here to receive orders from the head of the family?”
“Huh.”
“The matriarch’s orders are absolute. “If you can’t follow me, leave now.”
His iron-clad loyalty silenced other commanders. Especially since the way to finish off the suppressed old man gave a clear warning to the enemy within.
“Otherwise it will end up like this.”
He slowly waved the blade of the dagger stuck in his back up and down, then made a long slash and decapitated him.
dump.
The barracks became quiet.
After waiting for Kaifa’s soldiers to get rid of the old man, I pointed to Carswell Harbor on the map again and continued speaking.
“Let me explain again. We move east through Port Carswell, which the Glazers used to penetrate south.”
I drew on the map with a ballpoint pen.
Chii Iik-
“And when we arrive at Liberty Harbor in the northeast, we gather our troops in one place. “I’m sending it right here.”
With a ballpoint pen, I pointed out the Central Spine Mountains on my way from east to north.
The commanders who heard my strategy whispered. Obviously we are going to attack the Glazer in the eastern center, but how can we head north, which is higher than that?
Many people were curious about the reason, but could not ask. Because Kaipa, who is by my side, showed a very firm attitude.
‘The name of the head of the family is both victory and death.’
I knew what he was thinking. So even if a problem arose, I didn’t blame him.
Because it’s all for me.
“If we succeed in moving the troops to the location I am pointing to now.”
As soon as I finished speaking, I drew a warp gate at the destination on the map.
“We will enter the Glazer through a secret gate here.”
Currently only I know.
Glazer’s secret warp gate was later discovered after the war ended.
I disclosed its location to everyone.
“If we succeed in entering, it won’t be a problem to grab their heads. “Please give us all strength until then.”
