Episode 39. If the hollow gangjeongdo is sweet, it’s better

It is dark in front of my eyes.

Come to think of it…….

I must have passed out in terrible pain.

“Your Majesty!”

Esteel’s voice was heard before long. It was a voice full of sobs.

The face that could be seen with slightly open eyes was also drenched in tears.

“Ugh… ….”

My head hurts as if it would break.

After signing the contract between Astrum and Libra.

I heard Silene’s voice and sneaked out of the imperial palace.

I also saw Max and Elodie in the middle.

It was really strange.

In the original story, Elodie killed Max, and the Emperor of Perun also died at her hands.

After that, she was now in the imperial palace.

I feel like I have a new relationship that I don’t know about. It didn’t sound too bad.

I ordered the courtiers to move the two, promising a later date.

After that, she passed through a secret passage and headed for her mother’s green hand, where she received four orchids from her saintess.

My last memory was to set aside one bunch, just in case, and pass out after drinking the antidote three times in succession with Estill.

I opened my clothes and checked the poisoned area.

Smooth and immaculate skin. There were no traces of poisoning anywhere on the skin.

When I got up, my gait was completely back to normal.

You can feel the refreshing energy that flows through the whole body.

Mana, which seemed like not even a handful, was circulating freely inside her body.

I didn’t feel like I was blocked by anything like when the miasma remained.

The poison was finally completely detoxified.

The feeling of overcoming a major hurdle.

Laughter leaked out of that relief.

“Now it seems that the poison has been completely detoxified.”

“I am very fortunate. Your majesty.”

Estill’s eyes are full of tears.

I didn’t seem too surprised to see that I had already checked my body condition.

However, she seemed to be happy, but for some reason, a darkness permeated her face.

I thought that was strange, but I was even more curious about how the war with Marinene would have turned out.

“How long has it been since you took the antidote?”

“…… Three days have passed.”

Continuing her words, her face was full of pensiveness.

According to the prince who came as an envoy, the war must have already begun.

However, if Astrum had moved, no country would have been able to dispatch troops.

Still, I wanted to ask just in case.

“Wasn’t there a war?”

After her silence for a while, she spoke with difficulty.

“Currently, the Kratus Empire is under siege by the Kingdom Alliance.”

The moment I heard that, I was shocked.

Wouldn’t it be exactly like this if you were walking down the street and suddenly got your head stamped on a stone?

Could it be that the Dragon Lord didn’t keep his promise?

That’s really nonsense.

Because if you break the Libra contract, you will be annihilated.

Thinking about it, I said to hurry up, but it seems like I didn’t set a deadline.

Still, I can’t get rid of the strange feeling.

Because I must have explained everything.

Astrum was by no means so petty as to be deliberately procrastinating even though he knew everything about the situation.

That made it all the more unbelievable.

Anyway, if you were under siege by the Kingdom Alliance, this was not something to be taken lightly.

The moment I let out a sigh, the chancellor burst into the bedroom. It was a very desperate face.

“Your Majesty! You’re finally awake!”

“…… How was the war situation?”

The chancellor continued with a trembling voice.

“Current standoff situation continues. However, intelligence was obtained that the number of soldiers in the Kingdom Alliance was so large that it was impossible to estimate, and that the number of sword masters alone reached at least twenty. If we go into all-out war, we won’t last very long.”

At least 20 sword masters.

It seems that while I passed out, the empire was in serious danger.

If you continue like this, you will be torn apart by other kingdoms.

The chancellor asked with tears in his eyes.

“Your Majesty, what should I really do now?”

I also let out a sigh.

To be honest, I only believed in Astrum.

I couldn’t even imagine that they would betray me like this.

I really don’t know what to do now.

The only thing I can trust at this point is Max and the Imperial Knights.

However, compared to the Kingdom Alliance, it was an insignificant force.

Of course, the six wings of Kratus existed, but they would be daunted just by defending their territory.

If I continue like this, neither the empire nor I will be destroyed.

The death that awaits the empress and princes will never be a comfortable death either.

The only way to overcome this desperate crisis is Astrum.

Somehow, we need to find him as soon as possible and get him to fulfill the contract.

I asked Estill, barely suppressing his trembling chest.

“Do you know where Astrum went?”

She said nothing, only shaking her head from side to side.

Actually, it seemed odd that Estill knew that.

Did you go to kill the Slayer?

But there was no way it would take three days.

As a request, I asked you to hurry up, starting with preventing a war.

“Astrum, you son of a b*tch.”

I was in a tantrum, so the words came out without me knowing, and at that moment, a loud voice came from outside the window.

“A dog? It’s a bit harsh between friends.”

It was definitely Astrum’s voice.

Pachang!

Astrum broke the window and came inside without hesitation.

From noble mtl dot com

“Looks. It turns out that the location you told me about is not the only place where you can find the Salryongsa Temple. Downstairs, there was a huge dungeon that reached the 30th floor underground. How did you find out about that place?”

Because it’s a dungeon, that kind of thing didn’t even appear in the original work.

However, when this guy suddenly calls me by name in a friendly way, I feel uneasy for some reason.

But it seems that there is a way out now.

Now that he’s here, forcibly ending the war won’t be an issue.

“Why are you so late?”

Astrum replied with a slightly puzzled expression.

“I got lost while trying to clean up the dungeon.”

“I would have asked you to hurry up from preventing a war?”

“Suddenly, Seryongsa came to mind, so I couldn’t hold back my anger.”

After saying that, he muttered something, and suddenly gold coins, jewels, and various treasures fell from the air.

“These are all I have. It won’t be worth much. With this, one item has been fulfilled.”

Certainly, it was one of the things requested in the Libra contract.

The chancellor looks at me and Astrum alternately like a person possessed by a ghost.

They had the same face, they seemed very surprised. The shock was considerable, and when I called him, he was even startled.

I said, pointing to the heap that Astrum took out.

“Leave the war to me now, you dispose of these and implement the urgent policies first.”

The chancellor hurriedly nodded.

“Yes, yes!”

For some reason, Astrum has become arrogant. It seemed somehow unlucky.

When I stare at it, I look out the window and talk to myself, perhaps because I was embarrassed.

“Now then, shall we go to stop the war?”

Outside the window, countless dragons were flying across the sky, spitting loud cries.

*

Stagnum, a large city located in the heart of Lake County.

The artificial lake created in the middle of the city was a very attractive place.

At the top of the castle surrounding Stagnum, knights and soldiers stood densely.

And in the center, a young man who was black except for his skin was staring straight ahead.

The identity of the young man is the Duke of Shade.

He was now looking out of the city, seriously contemplating whether he should retreat.

It was because of the soldiers of the Kingdom Alliance standing close together.

There were several huge siege towers and catapults between the dense soldiers.

It seemed that he came with a lot of determination.

If an all-out war breaks out, there is no doubt that it will not last long.

“It seems that you are determined to destroy Kratus.”

At the forefront of the enemy lines, there were several sword masters who could be known by name.

Among them, there were those who belonged to Kratus’ Imperial Knights, but they were probably hired as mercenaries.

In fact, the all-out war with the Sword Master was not an easy task even for the Duke of Shade.

Because her strength comes from her fear.

There was no way the Sword Master could be intimidated by her, and it would be difficult for her soldiers to feel her fear, as her morale was so high because of her presence.

So it could be said that it was a very embarrassing situation.

‘Do I have to go ahead and infiltrate the rear?’

Because the difference in power is so great, they must be careless in the rear.

‘…… If we eliminate the commander first.’

There will be no odds of winning.

However, there are limitations.

In the end, I was convinced that if I couldn’t get rid of the Sword Masters, this war would be hard to win no matter what.

Shortly, a sword master slowly walks down the wall and shouts.

“If you open the gates obediently, I won’t kill anyone!”

He was the sword master ‘Pulgor’, who belonged to the Imperial Knights.

I remember hearing that he was born as a slave, but he was chosen by the emperor before he went crazy and became a knight.

Of course, they are just enemies now. Duke Shade shouted with hostility.

“If you go out of your way, I won’t pursue you!”

Fulgor continued triumphantly.

“Oh~ Aren’t these the six wings of Kratus, who were only serving favors while the mad emperor ate the empire? Seeing how black it is, is it Duke Shade?”

The Duke also shouted without losing.

“How much did you get paid to betray your country and join Marinene!”

“I betrayed you? It is the Mad Emperor and Kratus who truly betrayed them! An empire that has turned away from its people is no longer worth its existence! See, I’m no ordinary mercenary now. That ability was recognized and he became a commander!”

Pulgor ignited his aura all at once.

Pajijijik!

His aura was in the form of electricity.

Fulgor, whose spirits were rising, shouted loudly.

“All troops charge!”

Wow-

With shouts like thunder, the soldiers rushed towards the walls.

Long ladders began to reach the walls one after another, the siege towers advanced slowly, and large stones were fired from catapults.

Quack!

Every time a stone falls, soldiers are swept away.

Even the Duke of Shade didn’t stand still.

The knights standing all over the castle wall drew their swords and shouted.

“Shoot!”

Archers shot arrows, while other soldiers stabbed spears or threw stones, constantly crashing enemies climbing the walls.

Some poured boiling oil on them.

‘What should I do starting with that catapult!’

The duke, feeling impatient, exhaled black smoke and tried to turn into a crow.

I sure did.

Thump!

Suddenly, I heard the sound of something heavy suddenly landing behind me.

It was as if a huge rock had fallen.

Thump!

A repetitive, heavy impact sound.

Thump!

Duke Shade turned his head and almost screamed without realizing it.

It was because the huge dragons were landing in succession.

In the center of the square, in the lake, and in the city walls.

The moment I turned my head again, I found dragons that landed behind the enemy.

“How many are there… ….”

It wasn’t just Duke Shade who was surprised.

Fulgordos splattering electricity, soldiers climbing ladders, and chivalry slashing enemies’ necks.

No one there dared to move.

As if time stopped.

*

The time when the sun has risen in the middle of the sky.

I was in the carriage now.

“Your Majesty, is this really good?”

Max has been restless ever since he left the palace.

The same was true of the Prince of Marine, who was sitting next to him.

The reason was because this carriage was flying in the sky.

The one holding the carriage with one foot is the dragon lord Astrum.

Hwaaak- Hwaaak-

The mere sound of flapping wings made it sound like a violent storm raging.

Hundreds of dragons were also at the back.

Even if there were hundreds of dragons, they were nothing more than shiny apricots that couldn’t attack humans unless they were attacked first.

However, its mere existence would be enough to stop the war.

If I get lucky and get attacked, it would be the best for me.

It would be great if we could continue to use Astrum in the future.

But perhaps the moment this war is over, it will be hard to see it again.

Becoming a mount is only when you feel like it, and the supply of scales will be ordered by your subordinates.

By the way, dragon scales don’t fall very often, so the supply will be extremely low.

So even after the war is over, you will hardly ever see a dragon. Such convenient flights will no longer be possible.

Still, there is nothing to be disappointed about.

Because even preventing a war is a good thing for me. So let’s not be greedy anymore.

Hwaaak-

Looking out the window, I see the sea wrapped in land and shaped like footprints.

It was the Pasus Sea.

There was a huge kingdom in front of it, and that was the realm of Marinene.

It was the place where the main culprit of the war lived and was our destination.

According to the original story, the Kingdom Alliance’s invasion of the Empire should have happened a long time later.

But why did I wake up already?

Perhaps it’s because I’ve been involved in this world and brought about big and small changes.

The death of Camilla Vicious and the death of Domtar.

That may have caused the butterfly effect.

One thing is certain, it is the fact that there was always a demon behind the tragedies that occurred in the original story.

That’s why I thought maybe the demons were involved in this ridiculous war.

That’s why I brought the Claws of Chaos.

Maybe you’ll find a hidden demon.
