Vivian was talking to Calia with a soft face.

The cold attitude he had before was gone.

“Did you get along better without seeing each other?”

“Of course we were in the same room.”

Vivian opened her eyes as if nothing had happened.

Calia had an indifferent face that still couldn’t understand her thoughts.

It was difficult for Ethan to understand.

In fact, the reason Vivian changed her attitude toward Calia was the conversation she had while in the room.

By asking Calia about this and that, she was able to clear up the misunderstanding and lighten her heart.

‘If I misunderstood.’

Vivian was embarrassed and looked at Ethan for nothing.

Ethan was still unable to adapt to Vivian’s change of heart.

‘Heh. Even if I die, I don’t know if this is all because of me.’

Vivian had a complicated mind.

Ethan was a reliable and smart man on the other hand, but infinitely stupid on this one.

So Vivian and Calia came out into the hallway.

But the dwarves blocked their way.

“Hey, wait! Why are you going out on your own? The investigation is not over yet.”

Ethan looked at the dwarf and said.

“I know you want to turn away from the truth, but everything I have told you is true. So, don’t waste your time and tell me to come to you when you decide to take revenge.”

Then he left

There was nothing more to see in Ferratem, the city of iron.

Now all that was left was to put an end to what happened at Miles.

* * *

The road back from Peratem to Greytown Fortress.

Christopher and Dylan shuddered.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve returned to the fortress.”

“That’s it. I’m worried about the situation there, but it must have been nothing in the meantime, right?”

Vivian interrupted their conversation.

“it’s okay. Because nothing special happened until I came to the Forest of Dawn.”

“ha ha ha. I’m glad you did.”

Christopher, who was relieved, said, ‘Come to think of it, Priest.’ He looked at Ethan.

“I went here to attract Dwarves, is it okay if I just go back like this? From what I can see, the Dwarves are very stubborn, but I don’t know if they were persuaded.”

“I’ve done all I can, and the rest is up to them.”

Dylan sighed at Ethan’s indifferent words.

“Hey, the priest went through all that pain, and if it’s no use, it would be too futile.”

Then Calia was rarely involved in the conversation.

“Don’t worry. If the dwarves had not believed the words of the heir of the oath, they would not have been able to get out of Peratem without any hindrance.”

“Is that so?”

“I’m sure.”

“I know you don’t get along well with dwarves, but you know them pretty well, right?”

“So, you have to know them well.”

“Ugh. That’s right.”

Ethan shrugged.

“Anyway, time is running out, so you have to hurry.”

“yes? Are you running out of time?”

“I’m not sure, but soon there will be war between the Allies and the Rebels.”

Vivian tilted her head at that.

“The Mercury is also being strengthened, and the Princess Jeon and the Gray Town Seongju also put Mercury as their top priority, and they didn’t seem to have any intention of going outside and fighting a war. Wouldn’t it be a deadlock?”

Ethan shook his head.

“no. Perhaps the time for the outbreak of war has been advanced.”

The two knights here have never experienced a large-scale war, and Kalia is an elf, so she doesn’t know much about human psychology.

However, Ethan, who had experienced the Anti-Magic War, was able to see through the minds of the rebels.

“Even if the rebels had mined a lot of gold, the money line would be drying up. As long as mining has been unavailable for a while in the mine, you must have decided that there was no more time. So I would have pulled the troops out of the Haup.”

“It is definitely true. But the Allies decided to go to Mercury. So it’s going to be difficult to pull it out, isn’t it?”

Vivian pointed out the blind spots in the opinion.

“It’s not that there isn’t a way.”

“What?”

Then Ethan spoke terrible words.

“It is a massacre. They will burn the entire village near the fortress and slaughter the people to get the Allies out.”

“… … !”

Not only Vivian, but also the knights and Calia’s faces turned blue.

“Stand, please… Would even the rebels do such a thing? How is it different from what the Demon King did when he slaughtered ordinary people for that reason? If I did, I would turn all beings on this continent into an enemy.”

“Behind the Miles Rebels are the Dark Followers, who have been turning everyone into an enemy for a hundred years ago. The rebel leaders were already insane when they decided to join forces with the Dark Followers.”

“This is nonsense!”

“Aren’t they really crazy?”

Christopher and Dylan clenched their fists in indignation.

He was terribly ashamed that this had happened in his own country.

Ethan said.

“What do you think would happen if we were late?”

A bell rang in Vivian’s mind.

* * *

“Whoa.”

The regent took a deep breath.

A small provocation took place in the plain where only tension lingered.

The Allied Forces, which consisted of the Kingdom Army and the Imperial Army, eventually clashed with the rebels.

And it was the regent who was active there.

The current Imperial Army had a powerful army of wizards that the rebels did not have.

It was decided in consultation with the princess before going to the family.

– Opponents are knights from countries that foster only the best knights. Obviously, our forces will have their limits.

-Then I’ll take the wizards along with me.

– It’s fine. Even if the Knights of Miles had the skills of a hundred, they would certainly be vulnerable to magic pouring out from a distance.

The regent commanded the mage’s army and crushed the rebels with overwhelming force.

But that wasn’t the end.

After that, small battles continued.

Each time, the rebels acted as if they were trying to drain the mana of the wizards.

No matter how strong the firepower of the wizards, there was always a limit to the mana that humans had.

The rebels were aiming for it and acting cunningly.

Eventually, when the mana of the wizard’s troops was exhausted, the rebels would rush for an opportunity.

Although it was a battle in the plains, he was inferior in number too.

If the wizard’s army was pushed back even once, it would be over.

“damn!”

The regent clenched his teeth.

The circumstances were unfavorable to them.

* * *

Wegen Plain.

It was a place where the Allies and the rebels were facing each other.

Each soldier, fully armed, was staring at each other’s camp.

gulp.

The Allied soldier swallowed dry saliva.

It was markedly different from the only sporadic and relatively small-scale battles so far.

The war fortunes drifting across the plains was foretelling a full-scale all-out war.

Even so, in front of the front line were the lord of the castle, the imperial princess, and even the regent.

‘but. Better than those who just give orders and fall back.’

Allied soldiers thought so.

The courageous appearance of the commanders leading by example raised the morale of the soldiers.

Seongju and Garrett were relieved that the morale of the soldiers was not so bad.

‘I’m suffering from numerical inferiority, so I have no choice but to use this method.’

That was then.

Boo woo woo woo!

As if to seize victory, the rebels sounded the trumpet to announce the war first.

The rebel soldiers began to march.

But Garrett and the Regent waited for them to come.

‘When approached, it fires fire at once!’

The regent was quietly aiming for that moment.

The mana of the wizards brought from the Empire was not so good now.

This is because the mana was exhausted due to the consumption battles that continued for several days.

So the elemental magic of the wizards had to be cast at the decisive moment, in a way that would inflict the greatest blow to the rebels.

The Allied soldiers’ hands shrugged.

Sweat filled the hand holding the spear because of the tension.

Power was definitely inferior.

However, the knights and soldiers in this position knew it well.

The fact that the leaders of the rebels had ties to the Dark Followers.

The rumor could have been a propaganda carried out by this side to demoralize the enemy soldiers.

Because even the soldiers had brains to tell them apart.

‘But now I can’t back down anyway.’

‘The rebels went around town and slaughtered. If I surrendered here, I wouldn’t be able to die well. It’s better to fight to death here than to live!’

‘If we fall here, our family will die too.’

Every day news came that the rebels were doing all sorts of inhumane things, not just in Miles, but in other United Kingdoms as well.

So the soldiers were determined.

To prevent the continent from falling into the hands of the Dark Followers, he had to win at all costs.

It was the moment when the rebel knights and soldiers came to the front of the Allied Forces.

A divine white light poured down on the bodies of the Allied Knights and Soldiers.

“What is this?”

“What kind of light suddenly?”

Strangely, when his body touched the light, his tired body regained vitality.

It seemed to inspire.

“Maybe this?”

A miraculous sight that suddenly occurred was announcing the appearance of someone.

Cynthia, who was riding on a horse, smiled broadly.

“Ethan!”

With that call, someone appeared and took the lead of the Allied soldiers.

His hands were full of auspicious divine power.

It was Ethan.

* * *

That was then.

“Saint, Ethan-sama is here!”

Someone shouted so among the soldiers.

Strictly speaking, Ethan was still only a candidacy.

If the Pars Church had known, it would have been wrathful.

Considering the weight of the status of a saint, of course it was.

But no one disputed the soldier’s words.

this moment right now.

Ethan’s weight on the battlefield was that heavy.

“The saint protects us!”

“I’m not afraid of any evil rebels!”

“God bless us!”

One after another, the knights drew their swords and shouted.

The Iron Knights of Graytown Fortress.

Thanks to Ethan, the knights were freed from the curse of the beast.

They shouted as if they had been waiting for Ethan to appear.

The knights’ swords were blessed with divine magic.

And the soldiers ran.

“Ahhh!”

The ground shook as the soldiers on both sides stepped on their feet.

Soon, the Allies and the rebels clashed.

The sound of weapons such as swords and spears clashing resounded throughout the battlefield.

But that was not the only hand the rebels had prepared.

oo!

Monsters appeared from the camp of the rebels.

“Oh, ogre!”

The soldiers were astonished.

The ogre was a pitiful monster second to none in terms of strength.

At a glance, the ogre was being controlled by dark magic.

“Die!”

Allied soldiers surrounded the ogre and stabbed them with spears at the same time.

Ting!

But the soldiers’ spears could not penetrate the thick skin of the ogres.

Rather, the creative day has passed.

ooh!

The ogre’s hand slashed the soldiers’ spears in two.

“aah!”

The soldiers without weapons could not even resist and were exposed to the ogre’s might.

The soldiers hit by the ogre’s fist flew away like a leaf in the autumn wind.

“Cool!”

Some suffered major damage to their intestines.

Then Ethan came out.

“I will handle it.”
