Tale of the Fake Hero - Chapter 234



Only Noblemtl

Season 3: Episode 42

June 5, 1671 AD, I was on the front lines when the ‘Black Summer’ began, so I remember every moment of tension up until then.

“Aunt Nen, is this the work of a blood relative?”

On the morning of June 5, Acting Commander-in-Chief Noh Hyang-ui Setsunen inspected the 2nd Army where the Red Lotus Corps was stationed.

“The fact that they used the dead suggests a connection with blood relatives.”

Blood relatives.

Or a blood demon.

The bloodline classified as the six major demon tribes had no notable sightings even before the construction of , that is, even before the boundary between the human world and the demon world did not exist.

– Blood relatives are characterized by pale skin and star-like blue eyes, and as they rise to higher ranks, the concentration increases and turns dark blue.

Most of the information comes from information left behind by Archmage Lin, a key figure in the 12th century turbulent times, during his expedition.

This is not only because blood relatives have rarely appeared in history since then.

Because they resemble humans so much in appearance, the damage they cause is often not properly reported.

There were quite a few bloodthirsty demons who hid in the cracks of humanity and repeated cannibalism, only to be caught by the heretical interrogation agency ‘The Golden Children’ or the Magic Alliance’s Special Investigation Department.

Since the departure of Hongyeon Akira from the front lines, the damage caused by her clan members who have hidden themselves in human society has steadily increased.

“No, before killing the opponent, the blood relatives inject blood into their veins, turning them into blood slaves. This is like reviving the dead… … .”

“… … ?”

“This appears to be the language of the ancient kingdom of Holshbez.”

The Master shut his mouth. Delfred said.

“Your Majesty, are you saying that the reptilians have awakened?”

“That is not certain. Look. The characters are strongly hieroglyphic. In short, they are the characters used by the lower class, slaves, who had little education among the reptilian characters… … .”

“If they were the lower class who managed slaves, it is recorded in the records of our ancestors. They were called Necrons.”

It was Griffberen’s remark.

Melene’s brow furrowed in confusion.

“That’s… … um… … Necrons would live in the hottest and most extreme parts of the Demon Realm… … .”

All invasions to date have been carried out by the Uruk Sea Tribe and the Naga Clan.

Blood relatives are so noble that I have no interest in them.

Trolls are ignorant and thoughtless.

The Necrons have no reason to come because their area of ??operation is far away, that has been the general opinion so far.

That’s what I learned in warrant officer training.

“No, Mir said he could see the wave of unification.”

“Unification? Who is going to unify that demon world?”

“Mirdo did not know its true identity… … Ah, I need time to think about this. The world is becoming more urgent. I can hear the echoes of the old kings.”

There was no time to think about it.

A winged shadow appeared on the distant horizon.

“I am the Griffin Rider.”

“What’s the rush?”

Nohyang’s eyes, which could read his mind from afar, opened wide and trembled again.

Camilla didn’t know what was happening at the time, but for some reason she felt a cold, instinctive fear running down her spine.

Before the rider could land the griffin as if he were going to slam it into the ground and jump off the saddle, the true nature of the fear could be glimpsed in the soliloquy flowing from Noehyang’s mouth.

“ has fallen to the Blood Clan… …?”

The ‘large-scale attack by the dead’ on the 6th Division of the 3rd Army was a diversionary tactic to divert attention from the main force.

okay…….

Finally, the ‘black summer’ has begun.

The prelude to ‘Black Summer’, workshop (1)

“On June 5, 1671 AD, the curtain finally rose on the ‘Black Summer.’”

The yellow city, , was one of the seven major cities of the Old Republic and was the central and forward base of the Demon Tribe’s front line.

All the troops and supplies were gathered here and then dispersed, and the scattered supplies were also gathered here and then dispersed again.

As the core of the power of the Demonic Clan’s defense line devised by Cheongseong Mirngardia, all strategies were established around .

“That fell in just one day. The day that the Brain-Hyang Setsunen went out to inspect the front lines. The commander-in-chief, Lessard, who was stationed at the headquarters, was also killed.”

Later, Brain Fragrance’s Setsunen read the memories from Lessard’s corpse and left the memories of the fall of as a record of the fall.

– The 7th Infantry Brigade returns.

– Open the door.

The gate officer made a preliminary decision to open the gate and then reported it to command as a courtesy.

– The 7th Infantry Brigade went missing 26 days ago?

By the time Lessard noticed this and tried to respond belatedly, the situation was already hopeless.

The troops stationed at were annihilated in the face of the fierce attack of the Blood Clans led by the Blood Slaves who were once the 7th Infantry Brigade, and they rose again as slaves under the curse of blood.

The Bloodlines enslave the dying to increase their power. The citizens of the city who are not slaughtered become eternal slaves.

– I will make you feel the grace of Her Majesty the Great Queen, who has turned away from, deceived, and scorned the blessings of darkness.

The one who took the lead in occupying was the head of the Five Star Family, the highest-ranking family in the clan.

That is, ‘the pale baronet’.

Number 4 in the series, Haranorton.

For reference, since the Demons worship the number 5, the highest clans of the bloodlines also had five families.

– We have been blessed with prosperity and peace by the blessings of Her Majesty the Queen. Our loyalty has also been rewarded, and she has bestowed upon us the rank of Baronet as a gift of mercy.

Haranorton’s men tied Lessard to the saddle of a blood-cursed horse and dragged him through the streets strewn with blood and corpses.

– Our position was rightful and a gift from the Queen, yet you, baseless and filthy, dare to rise up before the throne of kings in collusion with the disgusting light.

When Lessard tried to resist, several of the Blood Slaves tore open Lessard’s abdomen and pulled out his pancreas.

– You guys are so baseless and shabby.

The whip of blood swung by Haranoton cut off the necks of the blood slaves in an instant.

“Screams and gunshots were heard throughout the streets, and citizens who were captured and turned into bloodthirsty people were said to have died in the bloodthirsty people while running away. Demons were slaughtering citizens, and birds were running like crazy… … That’s what Lessard remembers seeing while being dragged by a horse and dying.”

Finally, Haranoton entered the headquarters gracefully, with a procession of triumph and ancient music playing.

– I, the pale baronet Haranorton, will show you his power, and you who have been wallowing like dogs in the vomit of light will surely tremble in fear.

The blood relatives clapped their hands in a way that even felt noble. The stillness of blood was the beauty they pursued.

– Glory to the Queen of the Blue Star.

The Bloodthirsty men chanted to Haranorton’s horse as they unsaddled Lessard and dragged him into the command hall.

– Glory.

– Glory to Her Majesty the Queen, who holds the crown of time and space.

– Glory to Her Majesty the Queen.

– With our faithfulness, His kingdom will rise again. We will restore the glory of our ancestors.

The blood relatives cheered quietly.

Amidst the cackling of his younger brethren, a delirious Lessard was chained to the command center clock tower.

– Right now, in this place, I offer this blood to the stars and try to make time, which had stopped, flow properly again.

Haranorton sticks his finger into Lessard’s brain.

– Your Majesty, please accept our offering.

In Lessard’s desperate scream, all the blood in his body is sucked out and the empty space is filled with the cursed blood of his blood relatives.

Lessard’s body swelled grotesquely, then exploded into a spurt of blood, brain matter, bone fragments, and organ fragments.

The clock tower was soaked red with blood and the clock was no longer visible. My consciousness blacked out and my memories were cut off.

– Now, brothers and sisters blessed with noble blood, let us begin the star war.

If was a place for the Demons to aim for the throat of humanity, then for humanity it was a place where they could cut off the Demons’ front line.

The participation of the bloodthirsty has become a reality.

The fall of has also become a reality, so in order to overturn that reality, humanity had to exert power that could overwhelm the demons.

“Based on the judgment of the command center, led by the Brain-Hyang Setsunen, all of the Payqueria units scattered across the 3rd Army and 6th Division will be gathered.”

This is the background of the attack, which began with the roles of the airborne being switched in one day. The Red Lotus Corps under Laminea Alter Aradmantel also took the lead in the attack on .

“The history we will be covering today is the great offensive of the United Human Forces’ on June 7, 1671 AD, which is recorded as the prologue of the ‘Black Summer’ and also as a great tragedy.”

* * *

“This is a situation where every second counts.”

The priest of Hong, Aydin, said.

“With all the Payquerier units and main garrison forces gathered here, the defense of the 3rd Army and 6th Division is virtually neutralized. We must recapture and reorganize our defense line as soon as possible.”

With Marshal Lessard slaughtered in , supreme command on the scene was transferred to Vinessa Alter Renault.

It was a natural measure, as Acting Commander-in-Chief Setsunen had been dimensionally transporting the defensive forces stationed in various places to the outskirts of .

Since the number of troops was 210,000, it would have taken a month to assemble them even by rail if it weren’t for Brain Xiang’s dimensional teleportation ability.

– It’s amazing… … .

I remember John’s pure eyes shining in admiration.

Brain scented Setsunen was of the dragon tribe.

However, although he was skilled in sorcery using words, he was much more skilled in magic, and this was said to be evidence that he had learned magic from a young age.

– His Majesty Brain Xiang is no different from Yong-Hyeon’s direct disciple, so he is a Renpage (6-star) level magician, and in other words, he uses power comparable to that of a sage! He declined the position of sage because he is not human… … .

Jacquard Alter Touel smiled heartily.

“It’s time for the warriors to act, this is burning! So what should we do?”

Aydin pointed to the table, where Delfred’s freezing magic was artistically displayed.

It was an ice sculpture built with magic, and it provided three-dimensional geographical information about .

“This is what we currently know.”

Aydin was a military officer in the Blood Horse Regiment.

It was a well-known fact that the military discipline, military discipline, and logistics of the Blood Horse Corps, which alone boasted a division-level force (2 brigades, totaling 18,900 men) among all the Payquerier Corps, were all controlled by him.

Aydin, who was well-versed in the traditions, strategies, and characteristics of the Demon Tribe, was the second-in-command of the Blood Demon Corps and a strategist recognized by everyone on the front lines.

“Since is covered in the bloodline’s magic, the bloodline, it is safe to say that the entire city has already been blood-aged. Even assuming that one fifth of the population has become a blood slave, we will have to deal with approximately 500,000 blood slaves.”

At that time, I couldn’t possibly concentrate on that explanation. I couldn’t believe it.

I vividly remember the unpleasant cold sweat soaking my back and the goosebumps that ran through my fingertips.

He asked Sharon, who was standing next to him with an equally tense expression, as if talking to himself.

“They’re all dead?”

At that time, the cityscape I was viewing from the monorail… …was it now all covered in blood? I couldn’t stop feeling nauseous.

“My current situation… … um, what should I say… … is so unrealistic, uh, it just doesn’t feel real.”

Sharon also answered in a blank tone.

But most of my memories of ‘Black Summer’ were like that. They were just unrealistic realities. Like nightmares.

Floret Alter Tasalpo stirred uncomfortably.

“Should we add the troops brought by the bloodthirsty to those 500,000 people?”

“It’s easy to think of the relationship between blood relatives and blood slaves as a puppeteer and a puppet. Since it’s a contractual relationship based on blood, if you eliminate the sorcerer, all the blood slaves that the sorcerer controlled will be rendered powerless.”

“How do I find them?”

“It’s not difficult. Rather, they will come forward first and brag. The downside of blood relatives is that they are too noble. As you can see from their nickname ‘self-proclaimed royalty’, they don’t hide. Rather, they tend to reveal their identity and brag.”

Vinessa opened her mouth.

“The bloodlines are extremely small in number. However, each and every one of them is quite strong. In particular, the pale baron who is called ‘self-proclaimed royalty’ by the other demons is extremely strong, so if you see one with particularly flashy attire, be careful.”

Third Seat, Mate Alter Volvier, said, putting on his safety goggles.

“So, what’s the plan?”

Aydin pulled four knives from his thighs and threw them accurately, planting them in various places on the ice sculpture map.

“The location of the center of the alcoholic beverage has been captured.”

“how?”

“His Majesty the Brain has done it for you.”

No one raises any objections to the doubt. If Brain Scent did it, then he did it.

“If we neutralize these three sieges, the bloodline covering the city will disappear, and the battle will change from a siege to a mopping up battle.”

“It means to neutralize the blood system while also opening the gates.”

“Even if we can’t open the gates, if we can neutralize the bloodline, His Majesty the Brain will teleport the main force into the castle. If necessary, we can also use artillery and air support to scorch the inside of the city.”

“Mate, create a rift in the bloodline with the Yellow Dragon Legion. Once the rift occurs, His Majesty Brain Xiang will teleport us inside the city.”

Mate bowed his head with a look of honor at Vinessa’s words. Aydin spoke again.

“After this, the Non-Gyeongsang Corps will take charge of air support together with the Yellow Dragon Corps. Our Blood Demon Corps will take charge of the East Gate, the fiercest battleground. Meng Jin and Cheolseong will take charge of the North Gate, and Hongryeon and Heukjangmi will take charge of the South Gate.”

“A combination of armored units (Maengjin), heavy infantry units (Cheolseong), light cavalry (Black Rose), and grenadier units (Hongryeon)? Huh, not bad.”

These were the words of the 12th seat Mozuna Alter Solang, who always wanted to show off to his juniors as a senior.

At that voice that was full of strength, the ‘seniors higher than him’ laughed in disbelief. Floret put his head in a headlock.

On the front lines, the youngest pay querier always seemed to be the cutie.

“therefore.”

Delfred said.

“So you’re saying that the Payquerier Corps has to deal with those 500,000 blood slaves and their blood relatives in an isolated situation. If they succeed, the siege will end in an instant, but if they fail, it could turn into a crazy operation.”

Vinessa snorted.

“If you’re going to be scared by something like this, you should give up your title of warrior and get out. Do you think we can get together as a group and go on a picnic? This is war, and experts in war are warriors. Turning the tide of battle in an instant is what we have to do, and that’s why we’ve always been held in high regard as warriors.”

The teacher, who had been silent throughout the meeting, raised his head.

“When is the operation to be carried out?”

Vinessa answered as she stood up with the Extreme Satellite Sword Renod strapped to her back.

“As of this moment, immediately.”
