Chapter 725,
Chapter 182. Blind point of the temporary alliance (2)
Jin headed to the Tikan Palace dungeon with Casimir.
Some of her colleagues, including brothers Mary and Tona, were watching Rin from the dungeon.
Although in prison, Lin was sitting at a desk drinking tea instead of being tied up.
[You are here, the 12th Horseman.]
Rin stood up and greeted Jin.
“Chief Hobeop. No, I should call him the Black Swordsman. I heard that Rosa appointed you as the Black Sword Chairman.”
[As a member of the Law Guards, I could not abide by family law, nor as a member of the Black Swords Corps, I could not punish traitors, so I am not qualified to hold any position. Just call me by name.]
Jin didn’t answer and sat down in front of Rin, staring at her eyes that were black with chaos.
Rin clearly had an appearance completely engulfed in chaos, but she did not lose her reason at all.
There was also a sense of determination.
Jin was reading from Rin the atmosphere that only those who were determined to endure pain and sacrifice could have.
“The investigation into the authenticity of the information that Lord informed us yesterday has been completed.”
The information Lin gave to Tikan was about Rosa and the ship Ram.
According to her, Rosa has now lost some control over the Hufestor, and there was a secret on the ship Ram that Rosa did not know.
[It’s fortunate.]
“It was honestly hard to believe until Yuria’s judgment came out. Could it be Rosa’s trick that the Lord came in itself, or is it trying to join us again now that the situation on the other side of the body doesn’t look good? It means that you have such doubts.”
[I understand. It has no choice but to be.]
“Why did you sign a contract with the Prophet instead of joining the Resistance in the first place?”
[If I had chosen the resistance from the beginning, you wouldn’t have heard any information about the weakness of the chest. I also couldn’t express my desire to fight together… but I thought it was hopeless.]
“So you decided to become an insider in the Garden of Corrupted Swords?”
When Mary asked, Lynn nodded.
[I thought that I had to become an insider to get a chance somehow…]
“I clearly remember that Kyung saved me the day Difus brother was captured.”
[However, I cannot count the number of family knights I have killed with my own hands.]
Rin said as she put down her teacup.
Jin recognized that she was feeling guilty.
As an ‘individual’ named Rin, it would have been a better choice to die with honor while fighting alongside the resistance.
But Rin had obeyed Rosa’s orders just for this very moment.
It was because he could bear the personal pain and guilt for the sake of his family.
Even if it went down in history as a terrible traitor, it was the same.
[Besides, I too, like the deceased Fourth Horseman… I eventually succumbed to the Prophet’s chaos and forgot my original will. If you hadn’t killed the Prophet this time, I would have truly become a traitor.]
Silence passed for a moment.
[Did you set the day for the final battle?]
“Not yet. It will probably be decided at the meeting tomorrow.”
[I talked about it last night, but it would be good to move at least within a month. There is not much time left for me and the rest of the knights. Our lives are also dying out due to the Prophet’s death.]
“Is it because of the contract with the Prophet?”
[exactly. Anyway, if we hit Hufester after we die, nothing will help.]
Jin nodded.
[Then I must go back now. If you vacate the seat more, you will be suspicious of the evil spirits.]
Rin stood up.
[This is probably our last meeting, 12th Horseman. If you and the temporary alliance start attacking Hufester, from then on, we will focus on stopping the ship Ram.]
How to temporarily stop the operation of the ship ‘Ram’.
That was the information Rin obtained as an insider.
[Also, even before Ram comes to a complete standstill, the terrible ship will not attack the Bamal Alliance.]
Rosa knew that only she had control of the ship Ram.
However, the Dead Prophet was prepared to take control of Ram in case the day came when he would have to deal with Rosa.
I had informed all of this to Rin, who was judged to have finished the ‘brainwashing’.
Lin reached out to Jin and asked for a handshake.
Jin looked at her hands and eyes alternately for a few seconds.
[Please, Rosa… Please break the body of the 12th Horseman. Please stop my Runkandel from being destroyed so horribly.]
Jin grabbed Rin’s hand.
I felt the hard, jagged palms of the old elder, who had dedicated himself only to the Runkandel family for decades.
“I will definitely do that.”
Jin personally saw off Rin. From the dungeon to the secret passage leading to the sea, the youngest division awaits them.
Among them, Mesa stood in front of Rin and bowed her head.
“My great-aunt.”
[Mesa.]
Rin made eye contact with Mesa and smiled.
[Sir Sir Shiron, the head of the household, was the highest in the world, but in the end, he is still wandering the Black Sea, and Rosa has become a deity and is pushing the family and the world into ruin. So you have a better monarch than my generation.
]
[Yes…. If the 12 Horsemen restore the family, you will have a lot of work to do. Can I leave the behind-the-scenes work in peace?]
“…Yes, my great-aunt.”
[That’s great.]
The remaining runcandels didn’t leave until Rin disappeared over the sea.
* * *
Hufester.
An army of chaos was gathering in the Garden of Swords. Dark eyes stained with chaos looked up at Rosa, who was sitting on the throne.
For the first time since becoming a bust, she was showing signs of fatigue. Her eyes were dark, her lips were dry, and her hair was limp.
Originally, the chaos that should have been obtained in the battle against Riccarton was not properly absorbed, and a piece of power given to Dipus was completely extinguished.
jazz.
Rosa stroked her favorite sword, which she had been using ever since she was a human. Occasionally the blade cut his fingers, and black blood trickled down.
Rosa didn’t care. As if he didn’t feel any pain, he just dazedly touched the blade.
The commander-level knights watching Rosa felt a bit uneasy. Unlike the lower-middle-class knights who were completely immersed in devilishness, they had little will and reason as humans.
They never imagined a crushing defeat against Riccarton.
Rather, they were planning to launch a new invasion before the temporary alliance was finished with a great victory.
However, Dipus and the Prophet are dead, and Rosa does not hide her tiredness even with her army in front.
[…All the troops have gathered, my lord.]
Eventually, Lionel stepped in front of Rosa and opened his mouth.
Rosa didn’t answer and continued to frenzy.
A chilly wind occasionally tossed her hair.
[Caucus.]
Lionel called out to Rosa once more. The anxiety of the remaining high-ranking knights seemed to be transmitted to his back.
It seemed that only the Padlers were left with arsenic and that it didn’t matter what happened.
Rosa opened her mouth for the first time after thirty minutes.
[Sir Lionel, the former head of the family.]
[Please say so.]
[Have you ever loved a child?]
Unexpected and sudden question Lionel could not understand Rosa’s intentions at all.
[Why is that suddenly…? Perhaps it was because of the death of the Fourth Horseman?]
[That child was incomparably superior to the bug over there, but not to the point of being particularly affectionate.] At those
words, Joshua, who was standing under the throne, flinched for a moment. After the death of the Prophet, Joshua was no longer able to create any special despair. It was because the hope of prophecy was gone.
[Please answer the question.]
[Yes.]
[Then, what did you do for that child?]
[There are a series of difficult-to-answer questions…. In my case, I passed on my family. Right here in the Garden of Swords.]
Then Rosa nodded her head in satisfaction. There was life in the dark eyes.
[I also wanted to pass this place down to that child. But since I can’t do that… Before I settle down with the youngest. As a mother, I feel like I should give her a proper present. Something like a playground.]
[Did you say playground?]
Rosa stood up.
[I’m going to build a castle from now on.]
[Let’s go.]
[This is the last stage for the youngest. It must be sophisticated and beautiful, and there must be people suitable for the death of the child who will surely become a myth.]
Lionel pondered over how to express his concerns, and a murmur came from the army.
But the next moment, they couldn’t help but exclaim as they watched Rosa raise her hands outstretched in the air.
Whoaaah…!
Following Rosa’s hand, black pillars suddenly rose to the left and right of the array.
As if a picture was being drawn on drawing paper, every time she gestured, the framework of a ‘castle’ was being created.
It can’t be done without a creator god.
At the same time, a pale aura began to rise from the back of the throne like a tidal wave.
It was the appearance of new souls coming out of the mausoleum.
Lionel felt the power transmitted from them and couldn’t help but be swept away by the thrill.
[While I’m building the castle, what you guys have to do… just fill in the space so that this place doesn’t look empty. Get ready to face the battle in your own place. Get ready to welcome my son.]
When Rosa lowered her sword, Lionel and the army all knelt down.
The old heroes of Runkandel, who came out of the mausoleum and began to form bodies, also worshiped Rosa and raised a sword bow.
And Rosa, among the Black Swordsmen standing in the center of the row, focused her gaze on Rin for a moment.
You smile as if you know what you’re thinking.
Rin had her head down, so she didn’t feel Rosa’s gaze.
