Episode 215
A mountain of corpses.
There was a large man sitting calmly on top of a pile of corpses and resting his chin on it.
The huge ax lying at his feet told him that he was an orc, but the color of his skin, which was not green but dull in color, told him that he was a corrupter.
[You mean a weird guy.]
[What do you mean? Gorgal.]
[No, a gray horse. you saw it too The scabbard he carries.]
Black hair. gray eyes.
Callius, a man with a sword on his back and two swords at his waist.
Among them, the holy things made this time.
Demetrius.
Colius wiped out an army of 10,000 with a single sword drawn from its scabbard.
in a single blow.
No matter how strong the Corruptors are, they don’t have the lethal skill to slaughter 10,000 troops in one blow.
But the guy did it.
very simply.
[Come to think of it, you ignored him. Even if he lived, he said he hadn’t even lived 30 years.]
[I didn’t lie. Jaeger.]
666, whose name was Jaeger, looked at 555 Gorgal’s face.
There, as if concentrating, the courteous Callius stood holding the sheath.
[Looks like it’s starting again.]
[What do you mean?]
[Didn’t you see? that child. you mark the area As if it were my land.]
Sueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
The wind blew around him.
All kinds of corpses fall into ashes at the feet of Colius, who closes his eyes and concentrates.
Even corpses that have stopped spewing red blood and various emotions on the battlefield are slowly turned into ashes.
And the sight of him putting a part of it into a sheath was truly bizarre even for Corruption.
[I don’t think that’s a real devil. Aren’t they worse than corruption? If I were a god, I would have thrown him away right away.]
[I don’t know that. Wasn’t it because you needed it anyway? Because God can’t directly interfere.]
Until it comes to his arms.
God can do nothing.
[…what’s over there. Are you coming again? Those guys come every now and then.]
Over the ridge.
In addition, the armed forces of each were running one after another.
[Does he run even though he knows he’s going to die?]
A spleen expression, prepared for death.
555 Gorgal’s eyes even read the expressions of knights far away.
[That’s how powerful the breath of God is. Isn’t that what the tails of those who have lived with the power of God are like?]
God’s trust is so absolute.
Among the things on earth, human beings put their lives first, harm others, and ironically, sometimes throw their lives away in a race for useless things.
Loyalty, belief in God, something like devotion.
[Amman, nothing comes back if you believe in God, but these are unfortunate authors.]
However, unlike the words Gorgal said, the corners of his mouth were raised.
[A person who is truly sorry will not kill a human while laughing.]
[Ha ha ha! is it? what’s up You know it won’t stop without dying, and I know it, but what? And in order to weaken the power of a god, isn’t that what it is after all?]
[That’s right.]
Killing followers.
to remove the sanctuary.
Erasing even one more part of divinity.
is that the best
[Cutcha. But how long does the gray guy intend to stay here? Gellarine you don’t know. Don’t you know?]
[I don’t know. They said they needed a little more time.]
[I don’t know if they’re going to kill all the humans on the continent after waiting.]
[It would be better if that were the case.]
It would be better if it was.
Humans have nothing to worry about.
yes or now
One thing they are concerned about.
[I don’t know if the damn lizards are interfering again.]
It was only the appearance of the dragon.

Same time.
Emily and her group pass through several forests and over hills to an area close to the gray land.
reached Haiti.
The reason he was able to come in such a short period of time was none other than Beatty, the ironclad dragon.
It was because Bran had let Emily fly down as close as possible to the gray land where Colius would be, even if it meant breaking the order a little bit.
They arrived in the gray land without much trouble, but they faced an obstacle in front of them.
“Why is the Sacred Army encamped here?”
“The name is obvious. They say the siege was set up to prevent the fallen from escaping out of the continent.”
“The encirclement freezes to death while searching for everything. It’s because those who are afraid to die don’t flinch and sit down for a cause that isn’t the same.”
Those who respond to Emily’s words are a lizard with scales on her skin and a dwarf man shorter than Emily.
It was Aldu and Philo.
He had followed Emily all the way here to make sure to meet Colius after mingling with the pilgrims.
of course.
It wasn’t just them.
A water-blue haired woman.
Esther was also there.
“chris. What about the rumors you heard?”
“According to the information we have gathered, it is said that the troops who set foot on the gray ground have never been able to come out again. Those who confirmed their battle using the artifact say…”
Chris hesitated as he looked at Emily.
“Tell me.”
“yes. It is said that those with dark skin slaughtered the army with their own weapons at a rate of one hundred. The number is three hundred. Compared to a large army of 100,000, they are nothing but dust, but all of them are Corruption with a status similar to that of the Master…”
“They must have all been wiped out.”
Chris nodded.
An army of 100,000 was defeated by only 300.
Emily was thrilled to hear it.
It’s like ten thousand. Hundred thousand.
To think that a large army, which could be counted as one country, was defeated by only three hundred.
I couldn’t believe it even after hearing it.
However, this is an obvious fact.
It meant that the power of corruption was that much.
“yes. As a result, we only siege and do not attack hastily. I wonder if they intend to take away their power by using wheel warfare. There will be no other way for them.”
“Aren’t the Masters stepping out?”
“You must be monitoring the situation.”
“Well, even in the current country, the Master’s existence is treated as a strategic weapon. No fool would give up such a valuable resource hastily.”
Masters are usually knights.
Since they are knights who have sworn allegiance to the country, they cannot participate unless it is ordered by the king.
A master like the country’s treasure is not a hand that can be easily used and discarded.
Empires don’t easily dispatch masters, so is it different from other countries?
“So what is the problem?”
“That means we can’t go in either.”
“why?”
“Didn’t I just tell you? They are camped out.”
“Ah…”
A sigh from Philo and others followed. Currently near the Gray Lands.
Haiti has gray renegades and corruption that are considered enemies of mankind.
The location is in the center of the land where the seven small countries are located, and this was also the western side of the empire.
It was like a rat with its own eye.
Many soldiers and knights dispatched from the country died, but the border line surrounding the gray land is still fierce.
Many brave knights are gathering.
before the human crisis.
The gains and losses between countries faded away and only a sense of mission bloomed in their hearts.
everything is the will of heaven.
Since he obeyed God’s will, his life was not a waste.
For those who pass through death and return to the arms of the gods, fighting and dying was an honorable path, not fear.
“Honor is a piece of shit. Those who are afraid of the corrupted ones, so they can’t do anything and are stationed there, only eating food.”
Most of the party nodded at Philo’s sarcastic remark.
However, Chris looked at Emily and Esther and asked the doctor again.
“Now what shall we do?”
“…?”
Be sure to ask.
It seemed like he had done all he had to do.
“Carpe was whether or not we really had a connection between corruption and the count. It’s not too different from the rumors, so I don’t think there’ll be a big problem going back…”
“Pilgrim Chris.”
“Yes Sir Emily.”
“His Highness the King’s edict clearly contained fragmentary parts. Find out if it has anything to do with the corruption. But what do you think of my reason for sending me to that job?”
“…”
Emily turned her gaze and body to the party that was listening to her, not Chris.
“Earl Jervan, the four major nobles of Carpe and the loser of the north, was branded as a traitor by Tashin’s oracle. But no one knows what it is all about. The name Zervan is an indispensable name for Carpe. Count Zervan, who is also my real father, killed the country that was invaded by the empire and the group of wicked people who tried to destroy the queen.”
Emily’s voice began to gain strength.
What everyone forgot about the notoriety of being a gray renegade.
Guardian of the North.
and guardian of the kingdom.
The one who raised the northern part of the country that was almost destroyed by the Orcs and protected the kingdom that was almost destroyed by the Empire’s invasion.
“And he saved the north several times, fought and won against the spears of the Empire for Carpe, and eventually took a saintess as a hostage and worked hard for Carpe. But!!”
bang!!
Clumsy! coo!!
Emily’s face twisted as she clenched the bloody fist that had struck the tree beside her.
It wasn’t because of the pain.
It was because of unbearable anger.
“If we judge and conclude the hero who devoted himself to saving the country just by looking at the outside like they do, is it the right attitude to treat the hero?”
“…”
“What would happen if we judged only by looking at the outside and brought the wrong information to Carpe?”
“…”
“Carpe will make the mistake of losing the continent’s strongest knight.”
that huge national loss.
“Can you guys make up for it?”
No one in the party could answer lightly to the cry so strong that it was hard to believe that it came from the mouth of a young girl.
Because what was in front of him was not a weak girl, but a knight with knowledge of righteousness.
Chris and the pilgrims saw the true face of a young girl again.
Esther and Serena and the others looked at her happily, claiming that she was also his daughter.
“Then what should I do now?”
Chris asked her more politely than before.
In front of them, the Holy Army has created a guard post to prevent hasty entry, and even if they enter, corruption is swarming inside.
Even if it was a saint, it was obvious that even one fallen person would struggle and deal with it, so what the hell are they going to do?
The pilgrims next to Chris are chicks who have just completed training.
They are the cubs of Carpe who were sent out without even completing the course properly.
You have to hit it well to be equal to the average knight, and there is a high probability that it will be lower than that.
Of course, there are saints here for some reason, and some knights who are close to masters, but most of them die without being able to properly draw a sword.
It was a place where there was a high probability that not only the pilgrims, but also Emily herself.
“Certainly, if you just go in, you will die.”
If there was Colius, I would never let him go, but there was no story of him even among the rumors that were heard for some reason.
In fact, no one really knows whether he is here or not.
‘It seems to be getting farther and farther away.’
I tried very hard to close the distance.
It felt like I was getting further and further away without narrowing it down.
“May I comment?”
“The name?”
“This is Leone. Leoné de Torrett.”
If Chris had a sharp, beautiful face, Leone had a pure outward appearance.
“Tell me.”
“I think the reason they were able to camp in the gray land is because they don’t leave it.”
“By the way.”
“What do you think is the reason?”
“…you’re waiting for something.”
“There is no reason to leave. Or…”
Waiting for something.
“What do you think?”
“Until what…”
Startled.
Everyone was startled by the sudden energy they felt and grabbed the hilt of the sword at their waist.
In the sky I looked up before long.
“crazy.”
A huge bird covering the blue sky.
No, dragons were flying in groups.
