Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Chapter 418

Chapter 418,

Chapter 121. Betrayal (1)

What the hell is this all about…

Everyone had no choice but to think that way.

Who would have expected that the nature of Bement’s best shaman family, which seemed unlikely to be destroyed unless a world war broke out, would be shattered so mercilessly and without warning.

The seeds that destroyed Geomhwangseong had already left their place using unknown power.

At the end of the battle, even the dragon knights participated in the battle, but it wasn’t even the mood that the terrorists had suffered fatal damage and retreated.

literal defeat.

Only black smoke was rising indifferently from everywhere around the almost ruined Geomhwangseong.

“…Little.”

“Brother Jean.”

Murakan and Rinpa came to Jin’s side. Murakan had a battle-weary face, and Rinfa looked as calm as when he was first summoned.

Murakan, along with Ron, desperately blocked the ship’s cannon and the commander’s attack, but Rinfa had no chance to use his strength.

As Jin’s body leaned forward, Rinpa supported him.

Just like when Garmund was summoned in the past, Jin felt sorry for Rinfa this time as well. It was a pity that came from the fact that she wouldn’t remember anything after returning to Lapra Rosa.

Rinfa nodded as if he understood without saying anything.

“The outside world… A lot has changed. toys… It’s the first time I’ve been hit like that.”

“The brothers are probably the only ones in the world who can describe Berakt Sydriker as a toy.”

“I… I’m going back. You will have a lot of work to do.”

“Thank you, Brother Linfa.”

Rinfa ruffled Jin’s hair and smiled.

Then, with a heavy expression on his face, he said:

“That demon… I’m used to it.”

“Are you talking about Kingelo’s leader?”

Rinfa nodded.

“For sure… I’ve encountered we… with my brothers.”

At those words, Jin stunned and met Linfa’s eyes.

“What is it? Are you saying you’ve ever fought with the Myungwang brothers?”

“Until then… I do not know. but… Are you sure. The things I encountered…”

Linfa tried to remember the leader, but it seemed that he couldn’t remember anything else, except for the feeling of ‘I’d met him before’.

-Kingelo, you mean I ran into him a thousand years ago…? I just thought it was a demon who had heard something from somewhere. It must be a demon that has something to do with me.

I suddenly remembered the moment I had a conversation with Murakan about the leader after leaving Temar’s second tomb.

It was right after he caught a glimpse of Murakan, the other teenage knights, and Captain Temar and Kingelo who had visited the Black Sea Tower in the records kept by Sarah, the guardian.

‘At that time, I just thought Murakan had a memory problem and couldn’t remember anything about the leader… Maybe.’

The record itself about the leader may have been fabricated.

I thought so.

From the records, Murakan seemed to know the leader quite well from a thousand years ago, and as soon as Rinfa saw him, he was sure that ‘I know, but I can’t remember’.

‘If the history and records about the leader were fabricated, it would of course be Zipple. But why?’

The exact reason was not immediately clear. But it was a very simple matter to think about.

‘Because it’s a threat.’

The authority and power that the leader showed must have been threatening to Ziffle from a thousand years ago.

Even though it seemed so unstable, everyone clearly saw that he pressed the entire Geomwang Castle single-handedly, blocked Ron and Murakan, and continued to restore allied forces in real time.

Everyone was intuition.

If Kingelo’s leader had been in a ‘perfect’ state, the battle wouldn’t have ended at this point.

“be careful… Jin’s brother. dangerous… It’s a bastard.”

“All right.”

“next time… meet.”

Pssss…

Rinfa’s body turned into aura particles and slowly faded. Jin took a bitter breath as he watched Lynpa disappear.

I looked at the situation.

The dragon knights and other swordsmen of Hiran inspected those who were crushed or injured by the rubble, and the forces that fought together were collecting their own troops.

Belladin was still carried by Enya, and Shuri, who had come close before noticing, informed them that Dante was safely evacuated.

‘The fact that the guys are safe means that the worst has been avoided for now.’

When the melee was in full swing, Jin was the first to move to save the two. What’s left now is to take care of yourself and counterattack. That’s not Jin’s job.

“Lord!”

The leader of the Dragon Division descended beside Ron.

Ron was examining his surroundings with dark red blood dripping from between his lips. Again, I thought that even that was unrealistic.

Whoa whoa…

Even though it was quite a distance, Ron’s rough breathing seemed to be transmitted. Despite his scattered hair and full of small and large wounds all over his body, he still felt a strange dignity.

Ron strode towards Jin.

At that point, all the soldiers who were watching were startled and their eyes widened. It was because right after the battle, it looked like he was looking for the rider of Runcandel first before Hiran’s followers.

The pupils followed the two. Ron, who quickly got closer to Jin, wiped the blood from his mouth once and grabbed Jin’s right arm.

chuck!

Then, Ron raised Jin’s right arm to the sky. It’s like paying homage to the winner of a game.

To the unmanned, it was also a shocking scene following terrorism. Some people unknowingly covered their mouths with both hands and swallowed in vain.

It was an unrealistic situation for the head of the Emperor High Iran to praise the 12th Horseman of Runkandel right after the terror attack.

Jin was bewildered at heart… No, in fact, he was so surprised that he swallowed his breath like a soldier who covered his mouth with both hands. I tried to keep my face as expressionless as possible.

Of course, apart from the surprise, I immediately realized why Ron had been the first to praise himself.

‘It’s to prevent Runcandel.’

In addition to the destruction of the Imperial Palace due to terrorism, Lon Hylan suffered serious internal injuries.

The best time for a beast to attack another beast is when the opponent is injured. In other words, external forces trying to contain Hailan will have the best opportunity for a while after today.

Needless to say, Runkandel was the most troublesome force among them. If Runkandel grasped the situation and made up his mind to attack, Hiran would not have the strength to stop it.

The only places to lean on were the imperial family and Jiple, but the former was a force that was wary of Hiran enough to tie up the dragon knights from the beginning, and Jiple was a more dangerous force than the imperial family because they reached out recklessly.

In such a situation, what if Jin, who actually attended the banquet as the ‘representative’ of Runkandel, was the first to take care of it?

No matter how powerful Runcandel was, it couldn’t strike Hiran immediately after the warm atmosphere was created (even that was watched by all the forces participating in the banquet).

‘Well, even if Lord Lorne hadn’t done this, it’s unlikely that Runkandel would hit Highlan… but out of all the things Highlan could choose, there couldn’t be a more efficient and safer method.’

In some ways, it gave me goosebumps. The fact that he made such a sharp judgment right after the chaos was over. The best knight in the world who is in a perfect position to have an arrogant heart.

“Jin Runkandel Sword Emperor Lon Hilan will never forget your hard work and courage in this matter.”

But one thing Jin hadn’t thought of was this.

In other words, it is not just Ron’s old politician-like mind, but full of sincerity. Ron actually had the highest regard for Jin’s role in this incident.

Instead of answering, Jin quietly lowered his head.

“Also, I express my deep gratitude and condolences for the dedication of those who fought alongside the Hairang family when they were swept away by terrorism. Too many have fallen victim to terrorism. I promise to take responsibility in any form.”

As Ron lowered his head, the other soldiers who were watching were forced to lower their bodies further.

The gazes of the warriors who raised their heads again naturally focused on Jin.

It was burdensome to keep looking at Ron, and it was only natural that Runcandel’s 12 riders, who shook the garden of swords a while ago and stood out in the sword castle, felt strange.

Jin looked at Zephyrin, who was being scolded by Murka in the corner.

‘It’s a demon dragon.’

Of course, there is no confirmation yet that Zephyrin is a demon dragon, but I thought that I should meet the leader of the Dark King as soon as the situation calms down.

For the time being, everyone here won’t be able to leave Hailan to investigate the truth.

* * * On

November 10, 1799, about two weeks have passed since the ‘Geumhwangseong Terror’ incident occurred.

Not to mention Hiran, the entire Bement was still in the shock of the day. The same was true of the people of other places who only heard the news through paper.

The Geomhwangseong Fortress was still half-destroyed.

The restoration hasn’t started yet. Most of the family lived in tents near Geomhwangseong, and because of that, it seemed that only Geomhwangseong was fighting a war among the territories within Bement’s home country.

In fact, Geomwangseong was fighting a war.

Against those whom he believed to be allies. The Viment imperial family did not help Hailan.

Beyond not helping, he supported Kingelo to a strange extent. Even though the terrorists and the damage they caused to Hiran were clear, the imperial pens had not yet called Kingelo a terrorist.

He is only using the ambiguous expression of ‘unexpected accident’. Even the imperial family expressed their position that they could not be sure that the giant monsters and living golems used in the terror were Kingelo’s.

Not many people expected that the imperial family would respond so lukewarmly. However, those who saw the current attitude were able to infer the same content.

After the incident, there was some kind of transaction between the royal family, Kingelo, and Zipple.

Not only Kingelo but also Ziple took the position that they had nothing to do with terrorism after they took Beradin, and the imperial family condones it.

Originally, there was a situation in which Kingelo was aiming for Beradin, so Jiple had to pay for it to Hiran.

Tame or kill. Those were the ways the imperial family treated Hiran.

For instance, Hailan was no different from being betrayed by the imperial family.

“Whoa…”

Dante sighed with a tired face in the basement of the Imperial Palace. The underground spaces of Geomhwangseong were generally intact compared to the ground.

Jin put his hand on Dante’s shoulder.

“Are you nervous about meeting him, Dante?”

“It would be a lie if it were not.”

“Let’s hope that his diary is still inviolable.”

Tuk tok tok.

Footsteps were heard from beyond the darkness. Soon he saw a man wearing a robe and the knights guiding him.

It was Beradin.

As Dante beckoned, the knights retreated and Beradin took off his hood to reveal his face. In the middle of the empty cellar, the shadows of three people swayed thickly.

Dante didn’t greet him with the kind of bright yet respectful greeting he had when meeting someone he was really happy with, and Veradin also kept his mouth shut.

Amidst the heavy silence for a while, it was Veradin who spoke first.
