Chapter 648,
Chapter 165. After the shock (2),
after Rosa was engulfed in chaos, there were about a thousand knights who rebelled against her runcandel.
They have been fighting large and small battles with the Garden of Swords, led by Diphus Mary Jorden.
However, within a month, more than 60% were suppressed, and those who remained had to make a choice.
Do you plan for the future, or do you fight to the end and die?
The choice was the former.
but couldn’t get it to work. Rosa found out the hiding place of the resisters so easily and called them into the garden of swords like a sheep hunt.
The resisters struggled against the knights of the chaotic family, but were eventually defeated by the summoned riders of the past and the dark knights.
There were about two hundred and fifty knights imprisoned in the dungeon at that time.
And now, the number of knights brought by Quikantel is less than one hundred. More than half of the remaining knights lost their lives in the process of escaping the Garden of Swords this time.
A total of ninety-seven people.
Jin looked at each other without speaking for a while. It felt heavy in my chest, as if something like hot foam was gushing out.
“Everyone… you worked hard.”
Soon after Jin spoke, the knights raised their swords.
no one shed a tear Jin also suppressed his boiling emotions and accepted the swordsmanship of the knights.
‘Fortunately, among those who survived, there are no cases of chaos infected that cannot be cured with the purifier.’
The chaos that stained the knights was not that deep. However, since there are many people with serious physical injuries, they will need the help of Seongguk healers.
“It would be good to start with treatment first. There is a device that can purify chaos.”
Jin explained the purifier to the knights. Along with the fact that the treatment period is long, the target is limited, and the blood of the god is used as a medium, so it is of no use to the encroached garden of swords.
“I became the 12 Horseman.”
said Jorden.
“Chief Elder?”
“What is that? Above all else, the elder should be treated first…”
Brother Tona paused while answering Jorden. It was because I realized his meaning too late.
Jorden does not appear to have fatal injuries, but has suffered irreversible internal injuries. The cost of surviving the 97 knights was his life.
Jin was aware of Jorden’s condition from the moment he first saw him.
“Why are you making such stupid faces? May everyone receive healing and purification according to the words of the 12 Horsemen. I must do one last thing before I die.”
Jorden met Jin’s eyes.
“The 12th Horseman.”
“yes.”
“From now on, I will pass on all the swords of the family I know. You’d better go to the training ground immediately. I don’t have much time left.”
Jin decided to follow Jorden’s words. Even if Rani came in person, he could not be revived and he deserved respect.
“All right.”
“The training won’t be that long, so don’t worry about anything else. Along the way, I’ll explain anything you might be curious about. Tell me about your experiences in the Garden of Swords.”
On the way to the training ground, Jorden often limped.
Jin explained the last battle, counting how strong he was to fulfill his last mission.
“Are you saying that you crossed swords directly with Rosa at the end… But you are not affected by the chaos at all.”
“I have become immune.”
“It probably won’t be the kind of immunity that can be handed out to everyone. I envy you. Looking back, I think I always felt that way toward you. Everyone in the family.”
Jin didn’t answer and waited for his next words.
“It’s been half a year since the Garden of Swords looked like this.”
“From that time on, I was expecting it to some extent because they said that Calon was sealed off and information about me was controlled.”
“Until then, Rosa Runkandel had been having seizures. Then, in the end, I broke my promise with you and joined hands with the Prophet. It was a time when a decision was necessary. We were the only ones falling behind while Zipple and Kingelo built their fleet and mobilized all sorts of new technologies. Of course that wasn’t right.”
There was just no other option.
Jorden continued with a bitter voice.
“Rosa would have made the same choice if you hadn’t left. So, your decision to enter closed training was rather right. If you were in the family, Rosa’s first thing would have been to get rid of you. Without the headliner… no one would have been able to stop it.”
“Is there still no news about your father?”
Even now, when times have changed drastically.
The dignity of the warrior Shiron Runkandel has not lost its value at all.
If there were knights who went on an expedition with him, Runcandel would still be a land that other powers could not recklessly take over even without a prophet or a fleet.
“…Rosa said that the family head was dead.”
Ilsunjin stopped walking.
“Was the story based?”
“no. I don’t know if he recognized it through the ability of a prophet or if he just said it to establish his cause. I just said he’s dead. But I also don’t expect the householder to be alive. Almost everyone who rebelled against Rosa did.”
Whether Shiron survived or was killed.
Because it’s hard to have a big meaning.
If the head of the family didn’t return from an external mission to reach this point, he was no longer qualified from an objective point of view. It was as if he had already died.
“But some had different ideas. Your uncles and brothers did. As soon as Rosa’s tyranny began, Jed Runkandel left for the Black Sea to find the family head.”
Jed had not yet returned, so his fate was unclear.
“The 4th and 7th riders are in an unknown state after the final battle. Like I said then, I don’t know if I’m alive or dead. But if they had escaped alive, they would probably have made their way to the Black Sea too. Those two have always said that the only way to resolve the situation is to find the family head.”
“Then no one saw the deaths of Difus and Mary. Maybe the two of them are trapped in the Garden of Swords. I don’t think Rosa would have freed all those imprisoned in the dungeon.”
“It could be. But if so, they are likely to appear as your enemies. The reason why we 1033 knights were able to resist Rosa was due to their determination, but it was largely because they were not exposed to the chaos emitted by the Prophet.”
“Does that mean that most of the remaining knights in the Garden of Swords did not revolt because they were consumed by chaos rather than voluntarily?”
“There won’t be any self-righteous people. But like you said, most will. What mad knight would want to fight under such a monster? No matter how strong the monster is. The knights who make up Runkandel are especially proud of them.”
It was already known from several cases that it was close to impossible for humans to defy the madness of chaos.
It was only possible for someone as special as Ron. Even that Ron was completely engulfed until Jin’s help.
‘Difus brother and Mary sister could appear as enemies…’
Imagining that scene made my head explode.
Jin didn’t show it, and continued to match Jorden’s stride.
“Looks like everything is here. It’s a pretty good training ground. Did you mainly sharpen your sword here when you were a reserve rider?”
“That’s right.”
“jin.”
“yes.”
“Now you are the family’s only hope. That fact… never forget.”
After saying that, Jorden held Jin’s hand tightly.
The only standard-bearer who can rightly establish a single family of knights who can fight unrestrained against the great chaos of Rosa Runkandel.
Jorden was crying.
In the end, the current appearance of Runkandel, which has reached the bottom of the abyss.
Those emotions mixed together and made Jorden cry.
“…Okay, Dangsuk.”
for the next three days.
Jorden taught Jin six decisive moves, four secret techniques, and one secret skill.
Jin, who had already reached the stage, instantly realized the tricks of those swords, and most of them showed a perfect implementation just by explaining without seeing Jorden unfolding them himself.
And sometimes, when Jorden was out of his power and taking a break, he went up to the mansion and received various reports about the current situation.
As expected, the leaders of each faction were urgently requesting a meeting with Tikan.
Runkandel did not show any special movement until then. There was no troop movement at all, but there were reports that the speed at which Hufester was encroaching had slowed down a bit.
Valeria still had no news. I wanted to check her life or death by any means immediately, but I couldn’t get out of Tikan until the meeting with the great power was over.
that was the order. The one who carried the world on his back.
“All the transfers have now been completed.”
Jorden said in a dry voice.
While handing over the sword, they were talking in a friendly atmosphere, rather than the elder and rider and enemy as before.
“Do you remember the day I cut your arms?”
“How can you forget Dangsuk?”
“In fact, I saw your father Gageo in you that day. The sight of him striding toward me with both of his arms cut appears as a nightmare for a while.”
“I was pretty scared that day too.”
“Kuh, now you’re gilding that I’m going to die.”
“It’s true that I was afraid of what would happen if my arms didn’t stick together. And I was actually convinced that the end of the boarding house would not be good at that time.”
“I guess that’s what you were planning to do.”
“At that time, Dangsuk and I were no different from enemies.”
“I thought after that day that you could be more dangerous than Joshua and maybe even more dangerous than Rosa.”
Shhhhh…
Jorden’s breathing sounded like metal.
The moment of death has arrived.
“Are your thoughts still the same?”
“Yes… You are the one who will defeat Rosa and become the head of household. however.”
slap!
Suddenly, Jorden squeezed out the last of his strength and grabbed Jean by the shoulder.
“Never think that you have already become a family head. Even if all the remaining resisters honor you as their lord. Even if your father is dead or alive. You have to take back the Garden of Swords to qualify. I have to get the Garden of Swords back… Do you understand…?…”
Jin gritted his teeth and nodded, and Jorden died like that.
And a day after he died.
A rider from Runcandel was entering Tikan.
