EP.234 The die is cast
Yerien Grandiomor was born as a princess, but grew up as an ordinary military citizen. In the midst of the military government’s efforts to arrest the remnants, and the lords of each region continued their sporadic resistance, the princess was too young to be their focal point.
The young guardian knight and the resolute nanny wandered around the kingdom looking for someone to help them, but the local lord knights were foolish enough to use their royal blood. There was even an attempt to make a marriage of convenience against a princess who was still only an infant.
Unlike the central lords, local lords have their own territories and rule like kings. That’s why blind loyalty to the royal family was rare.
The guardian knight trembled and took the princess and ran away. Without the help and dedication of a few loyal knights who have not forgotten chivalry, the still young guardian knights would not have been able to protect the princess
… returned to the land of At that time, the military was a collection of soldiers who had succeeded in the revolution unexpectedly, and there was no administrative power at all. In the chaos, the guardian knight and the princess lived their lives pretending to be ordinary military people.
People who knew their identity appeared, but most of them were people who would not open their mouths even at the cost of their lives. Amidst the breathtaking peace, the princess grew up quickly.
The princess grew up under the rule of the military. Surrounded by suspiciously kind adults, with an older brother who would give his heart out for his little sister, and an old mother who sometimes sheds tears. He received a lot of love and attention and grew up without lacking.
But at some point the princess realized.
That this kind world around you is not given without cost.
Wandered around at first. Conflicted in a harsh fate. I wanted to run away knowing that I had to sacrifice my life to fight for a country that had already been destroyed.
Even if she runs away… the Guardian Knight will respect her. Some vassals might agree, too.
But there is only one reason why they are generous to her. Because she is a princess. Even if she runs away, the princess’s bondage continues.
The princess accepted her duty out of a sense of duty. He put on the crown of thorns given to him from birth and offered himself on the altar. So that the remnants burn her even more as a sacrifice.
Then.
As the representative of the Resistance, he was investigating a strange incident in Hameln. The Resistance received a strange visit. boys and girls of her age. Faced with children of her age who were burned with hatred because they were broken somewhere.
The offered sacrifice took the abandoned friend’s hand, got up and walked on its own.
There was a moment of agitation, but the princess had a firm mindset enough to hide her true feelings. The princess adjusted her expression and posture and looked at the regressor.
“Then, now that we have officially finished our greetings, shall we talk…?”
Her heart was shaking endlessly, but she was a princess in her own way. Apart from his clumsy attitude, the attitude he shows is straightforward.
However, our regressor… This is a really good attitude…
“There is nothing to share. I’ll tell you something quickly. Listen carefully.”
Show off your attitude… after. I can’t say anything…
“We didn’t contact you to rely on you or to find an escape route.”
“What if?”
“We’re going to hit headquarters. To be honest, there’s very little you guys can do to help with that.”
The regressor simply cut off the matter. It was so cut that a lot of question marks appeared on the princess’s face, but the regressor continued talking as if even that explanation was a waste.
“Power is full and overflowing. On this side, there is the founder, there is me, and the Pied Piper of Hameln. The king of beasts will follow us for a while.”
why am i wearing
“We will hit and run fast, but it will be difficult if the weak guys attack, and if they grab our ankles, it will be difficult. If possible, I would like to choose only the elite.”
“Wait a minute, sir. The story is a bit fast.”
‘What are you talking about? damage? No matter how strong they are, the military headquarters…?’
I understand. Even we didn’t understand for a moment why we had to smash the headquarters when the regressors suggested raiding the headquarters. It was also absurd.
However, when I read my thoughts, surprisingly, the regressor had a plan.
“You know, since you followed us. We were not hindered by anything on our way to Amitengrad. The other side only repeated active avoidance of engagement.”
“yes. Our spy told us about it.”
‘Active avoidance of engagement. virtually run away. We know it well because we do it a lot…’
“But as the loose siege gradually tightened when we left Amittengrad, the number of enemies gradually increased. They have united the Confederate Legion in pursuit of us. Then, they fought sporadic battles and gathered in the east.”
“You are amazing. I heard that General Yukseong had gathered, but I didn’t think he dealt with the entire Southern Corps…”
The princess naturally praised the regressor, but it did not reach the regressor who was born with a rebellious temperament.
“At first I thought it was because of the Pied Piper in Hameln… but it’s actually strange. Fighting head-on against an enemy who even evaded engagement because he did not want to lose, saying that the Pied Piper would be added? It makes no sense.”
Raising an army costs money. The military is especially so. The bullets they use, the alchemy steel clothing packets, and even food. Each of them consumes considerable pension cost or resources.
Unless the regressor or the progenitor committed irreparable acts of destruction, no harm was done except for tapping a few bases. The military had little reason to spend that much resources.
but consumed. An ineffectively large number of legions were dispatched to catch them, who were few in number.
The princess asked with a serious expression.
“According to what you said… do you mean that the reason the corps moved wasn’t to attack you?”
“I think so.”
“Okay then why?”
‘The reason why the military raised the military is not to catch them…? So what moved the Confederates?’
Hunting requires in-depth knowledge of the prey. The princess, who was once a member of the military and now a hunter, had a deeper understanding of the military than anyone else in the rest of the kingdom.
‘No, I have to change my point of view. A kingdom is not governed by a king. There is a headquarters, but I’ve never heard of them moving the military based on personal feelings. Instead of passing over intentions and explaining behaviors, we need to infer intentions from behaviors.
The simplest answer is the answer. Why should the Confederate Army be loaded onto the meta conveyor belt?’
of course it’s moving This is because the meta conveyor belt is a means of transportation. Then a new question arises. Where?
The princess’s head tightened. And in an instant, all the puzzles snapped together. The enlightened princess exclaimed.
“…It’s a war to the north! It must be nations!”
The regressor nodded.
“that’s right. They didn’t form an army to come after us. They pretended to be chasing us in order to organize an army.”
“oh my god…!”
“Well, in reality, they probably wanted to arrest us or banish us. The existence of the founder Tyrkanjaka will be an excuse for the Mist Principality to intervene. If you leave the dog king alone, the wolf king will come.”
There is no single strategic goal. And maybe that’s not the end.
Realizing a serious problem, the princess forgot her body and jumped up.
“Wait. Our base is near the northern border! When war breaks out, the first thing to do is to ‘stabilize’! I need to tell you this soon…! Kyaaak!”
The princess, who was in a hurry, tripped on the leg of the chair and almost fell. The Guardian Knight urgently tried to catch her, but the Regressor was much faster than that.
The regressor was learning the Chunban-gyeong, and there was no psychological hesitation because the eyes of others were the same woman anyway. It also played a role in the fact that he had an open relationship with the princess in the last few episodes.
The regressor held the princess softly and naturally, as if they had come to an agreement in advance. Unexpectedly, the princess, who held onto the regressor and supported her body, stopped for a moment as if electricity had been applied, then jumped back. It didn’t stand out well because of her pale pink hair, but the princess’s face blushed slightly.
“Uh uh! Thank you, noble…! You were so surprised that you showed ugliness!”
“be careful.”
Actually, the regressor was just caught reflexively, so I didn’t think about it.
Perhaps surprised by the contact with the stranger, the princess grabbed a handful of her hair and mumbled, covering her mouth.
“kyung. Let everyone know. Prepare to evacuate immediately.”
“All right.”
The Guardian Knight took out a piece of white slate hidden in his bosom.
The Great White Wall of Rakion. One of the miracles of Seonghwangcheong and part of the pure white wall surrounding the Holy Land.
The inner wall of the temple built using part of the wall is intact. Even if it’s a broken piece. When someone draws a letter on a stone tablet, the same letter appears on the inner wall of the temple.
Therefore, the temple served as a bulletin board to convey the will of the gods as well as the orders of the king. It was also a factor that Seonghwangcheong was able to spread widely in the world in close contact with power.
…although there was no need for a military state that created a moving Great White Wall communications soldier.
It was when the Guardian Knight was about to reveal a piece of the Great White Wall. The princess hurriedly dissuaded him.
“kyung! Not here!”
‘This is a space with sijo! You mustn’t show your big back!’
Reflecting on why the piece of the Great White Wall was wrapped so tightly, the guardian knight apologized for a moment and went out of the container.
Of course, finding out his identity made Tyr feel uncomfortable, but he wasn’t petty enough to get angry at not revealing it in front of him. Because the princess kept the minimum courtesy.
“phew. It made me feel a little uncomfortable. Come over to me for a moment to lighten up.”
is not it? They’re trying to use me because they’re uncomfortable.
Deeply relieved, the princess now looked at the regressor with a look of admiration.
“You’re amazing…. You seem younger than me, but you have this level of insight in a military force comparable to superb singing…. If you led the rebellion, you wouldn’t have needed a great song to bring down the kingdom!”
Indeed, it was a praise, but it was an ambiguous compliment considering the fact that she was the last princess.
However, the regressor felt awkward in a different sense.
‘What is Hye-an… I came to see the future, of course I should know. No, I should have known it a little earlier than now.’
The bottomless pit collapses.
Intellect returns to the land where the curse has disappeared.
Several countries compete for fertile land.
A war breaks out. The Seven Days War ended all battles in seven days.
The regressor knew this fact early on. Because it was like that in the previous episode.
She didn’t know if the military had tried to destroy the bottomless pit with that in mind, but anyway, the war itself was foreseeable.
But in the middle of a fierce chase, I forgot. Thinking that the military was really after them, they responded sincerely.
‘If you think about it, until you captured the musketeer of the jejuchangdo and majangdo, I fought with a little bit of strength. Only the musketeers had a reason to fight us. In the case of the musketeers, Hughes was the target in the first place… It seems that the headquarters doesn’t even tell the commander about the original strategy. Command Chit, what the hell are these bastards really?’
Anyway, as we fled all the way down the South, the Confederate Corps converged on the Far East along the Meta Conveyor Belt. If you just move north like this… deployment will be completed in an instant.
The war begins with the military occupation of the wilderness.
‘Anyway, let’s stop it while we can. There’s no reason not to. If we escape to the nations, it will only be an excuse for war.’
War is not what the regressor wants. To be precise, before stopping the King of Sin, it would be better not to upset people’s lives with war.
So hit the command post.
“Ear… ball?”
It may not have been intentional, but the regressor was immersed in contemplation with extremely complex and sunken eyes. Seriously, as if looking at something much more distant future and the big picture.
I don’t even want to imagine how that would look in the princess’s eyes. It’s kind of creepy.
‘…isn’t he such a perfect person! The skills are excellent and the insight is deep! He knows how to take care of Jungkook, and he even looks like a nobleman like a woman…! How could such a person be born!’
I hate it, but I read it. Ah, I want to turn off mind reading. Who doesn’t want to knock me out?
The regressor heard the princess’s call and responded.
“Uh… well, it’s nothing. Because we had access to a lot of information while fighting with the military. There is bound to be more to know.”
“Too much humility is poison.”
“It’s not particularly humble…”
It was a literal meaning, but it was not conveyed to the princess. The princess only looked at the regressor with envy. To think that the day will come when regressors will be looked up to like that.
It’s a horse. Or is the regression just that fraudulent?
As I nodded, Shiati suddenly sent me a delightful smile. The story that has been told so far has given her great inspiration.
Shiati turned and knelt in front of the princess. With a thump, her knees pounded the container floor.
“princess. command.”
“Siaty? You don’t normally do that, so why are you kneeling down on your knees…?”
When the princess looked at her incredulously, Shiati lowered her head even more and pleaded.
“Give me the order to attack. There is only now.”
“yes? Siati. what is that?”
Shiati continued his quick and concise explanation.
“If the military prepares for war, it will crack down domestically first. If you stay in the northern part of the corps, you will die. I have to evacuate. However, with troops already gathered in the Far East, even if we, including civilians, started off leisurely, we would only be pursued and defeated individually. The damage will be close to annihilation.”
The princess was smart enough to infer war with just a few clues. Each time Shiati spoke, it became increasingly clear what her proposal was.
“To prevent that, we must also attack the headquarters and throw it into chaos. The only possibility for them to survive is to make the other side unable to afford to look elsewhere. Princess’ decision.”
The princess kept her mouth shut.
This opinion was made by Shiati. It is a strategy proposed by an avenger who will die happy if he burns himself and burns the military. full of lust
The thing is, that’s the right way.
Suddenly, an unprepared all-out war was fought. Biting her lip, the princess asked the regressor with a feeling of just in case.
“I hope you are. You were aiming for this from the beginning…?”
“Huh? I was just going to borrow some of your spies.”
Even the regressor, who hadn’t expected it until now, waved his hand, but the die had already been cast.
