Chapter 431 Chapter
124. Elders in Crisis (5)
The elders did not take Jorden’s words very seriously. He just thought it was meaningless, like when Jorden sometimes shows off his dignity without work.
“Haha, who dares to say that we are weeded out? Chief Elder.”
“Of course, that’s not going to happen, but we’re all ready to obey the will of the elder, no matter what.”
“Cancer! If the elder wishes, I have the intention of returning to active duty right away…” As
the elders habitually matched the beat, Jorden’s eyes grew cold. I was fed up with empty answers that didn’t contain any sincerity.
“okay? Everyone knows my heart. There is no need for you to return to active duty. But as I just said… We will start a war with the 2nd Horseman and the 12th Horseman from the current time.”
From then on, the elders were able to realize that something was wrong.
“Chairman, you said it was a war…?”
“Literally. Between the 2nd Horseman and the 12th Horseman, I will organize the forces of the 12th Horseman first.”
“How are you talking?”
“Tican Free City.”
When the name came out of Jorden’s mouth, the faces of the elders hardened.
“It’s the most important base for the 12 Horsemen, and the people in it are the most dependable comrades.”
“Are you saying you want to hit Tikan?”
“exactly.”
“Ha, but the chieftain. Haven’t you forgotten something?”
“Tican is in a state where no Runcandel can invade without permission, Chief.”
– I don’t believe in cheating. Just got a little bit lucky. Actually, as soon as I arrived in Tikan, I had a relationship with Sir Casimir.
-Good. Anyway, the test passed. From this day on, no Runkandel will be able to set foot on Tikan land without your permission. Even if it was this Shiron Runcandel.
-Thank you father.
A conversation between Jin and Shiron, who briefly returned to the family after breaking the taboo during their preparatory jockey days.
At that time, Jin passed Shiron’s test and was guaranteed freedom of the base, and no matter what accident Jin had after that, Runcandel never directly attacked Tikan. Even when the wanted order fell at the end of the reserve rider, the guardian knights could not find Tikan directly.
The name of the head of state is absolute. Shiron never fulfilled that command, so Tikan was still a land that other Runcandels could not help but Jin.
“That’s right. But it’s not that there isn’t a way. All you have to do is send people who aren’t Runkandel.”
The elders had no choice but to open their eyes again.
“Chief President, that is not a false story… Actually, isn’t it just a pun? The order given by the head of the house is that Runkandel will also give a third party an order to attack Tikan.”
“That’s right, Chief. Besides, what happens when outside forces are recklessly used to strike the 12 horsemen… We all saw it firsthand.”
As the elders recalled the moment when Jin filled the bag with the supplies of the dead elders, the air somehow felt cold.
“It seems that everyone is burdened with fighting the 12 Horsemen. What is it? The fact that those under my command play Tikan is nothing more than a pun on violating the order of the family head. But how many times has the 12 Horseman fooled us with that pun?”
Jorden was right.
During his days as a reserve jockey, Jin broke the rules several times, and each time he used his tongue to get a reward rather than a punishment.
“We must do the same. Now we have reached a point where there is no answer in a head-to-head match. I made it clear. There is no safe fight now. It’s okay for those who are afraid to leave, but you’ll have to give up the confidence of being an elder in Runkandel.”
For a moment, most of the elders thought of Jorden in their youth. Even before leading the Black Sword Society, Jorden used to organize a watering can to get rid of those who were against him.
Even in the early days of becoming Chairman of the Black Sword, he continued bloody purges for several years.
In other words, if you make the choice to put down your feelings and leave here. That meant that the blade of the Black Sword Society would surely fall one day.
“As far as I know, the 12 Horseman… hasn’t experienced the death of many people around him yet. As the head of the family, I will remind you of that pain.”
Jorden continued.
“…Chairman, then. Who are you planning to send to Tikan?”
* * *
An unnamed desert in the eastern part of the Cascal Empire.
While Jorden and the elders were trying to attack Tikan, Jin was tracking the elders of the Ghost Corps who had fled with some of his colleagues.
“I never thought that the Seygal family would set up a secret fortress in such a remote land. And the fact that the elders who escaped were still communicating with them.”
Lata sat down next to Jin and said. Jean was sitting in a restaurant in a nearby town, in disguise, drinking tea.
Seygalga.
As the head family of the Ghost Corps, most of them were killed by Smarion Froch in the past and were in a state of ruin.
However, as they had ruled over the ghosts from generation to generation for hundreds of years, the Seygal family hid their last remaining power in this desolate and small desert.
When the information power of the seven-color bird and the ghost team were combined, the efficiency exceeded expectations. They had found this desert less than three days after they became a blood alliance.
“Has it also been confirmed that the traitors leaked the secret of Gugoksaeseong to the outside world?”
Lata nodded heavily.
“yes. But Bement and Zipline Kingelo and other forces. Exactly which party gave the information has not been confirmed.”
“You can find out about that now. How many Seygalga are left in the fort?”
“Except for the vassal servants, there are not very many combatants. But before my father became the family head. There were a few big guys with the Rocks Rocks Seygal brothers who were known as divine. Even the elders are not dull.”
Rox Rox Seygal. It was a name I had seen several times in books dealing with Jindo war history. If it wasn’t for Smarion, they would have easily become the head of the Ghost Corps.
Even though he had been hiding for a long time without any sense of presence, he would still be a great fighter if he hadn’t completely let go of his sword.
“If you are waiting, I and my men will go and take care of it.”
“No, I will go with you. To figure out the strength of our allies and try to match the sum.”
Fey formed a siege with the crew, and Jin, Lata, and some of the captains decided to attack the fortress.
“There may be important data there, so please be careful not to destroy the inside. If possible, take it down quickly and quietly.”
“Yes sir.”
“And if there are any civilians, they should all be classified for rescue. That means you shouldn’t just kill someone for being annoying.”
Unlike the prestigious samurai family or the imperial aristocratic family. Mercenaries usually handled things that way. In the case of finding a civilian among them that does not make money while carrying out the request, if something bothers you, you will kill it and deal with it.
But now, the ghosts were no longer just mercenaries. Since he came under the command of Jin, he needed to follow the way of the Myeongga.
“I will keep that in mind.”
After a while, when Fay signaled that the siege had been completed, Jin and the leaders of Lata permeated into the dark desert.
Seygalga’s last stronghold was an underground fortress.
They accumulated wealth by distributing drugs and various black products here, and together with the betrayed elders, they were dreaming of pushing out the Prochi siblings and taking control of the Ghost Corps again.
In the middle of the softly treading sand, the soles of my feet felt exceptionally hard. It was the entrance to the underground fortress.
As soon as I swept the sand to check the door, I heard a voice.
“Who are you?”
Since it was a secret fortress, no guards were placed outside, but there was always someone under the gate.
Before he could ask for the group’s identity again, a leader slammed a poisoned spear into the door.
hooked! A short shudder came from beyond the door along with a small noise, which quickly stopped.
It was the trembling of the gatekeeper. Afterwards, the other leader blew the lock silently using specially prepared explosives in the way of Ghost Taiwan.
Indeed, like the world’s two largest mercenaries, they showed a specialized appearance in infiltration.
Upon entering, a vast space was revealed. It felt like looking at a giant anthill, and the party was able to run into the remnants of the Seygal family right away.
“saliva…!”
mouth!
Not one of them could finish the word spreading the danger inside. All of them were choked by the sword of Jin and the Ghost Corps and could not even leave a scream of death.
Jin saved only one person and gave him a chance to speak for a while.
“Please save me. I am just a hired mercenary.”
“Where are Brother Seygal?”
“In the innermost room in the center… please.”
He had no direct grudge, he obediently gave him the location of the Seygal brothers, and he wasn’t a person who would pose a threat in the future, and he was really just a hired mercenary.
Jin did not spare him.
Although he was advised to avoid unnecessary killing as much as possible, Jin was not a soft-hearted person enough to show mercy even to the enemy soldiers in the enemy camp.
hooked! When Jin stopped breathing, the commanders who followed him nodded inwardly.
‘I wondered what would happen if I showed a soft appearance when I said to save a civilian.’
‘No way our captain would have asked us to swear allegiance to such an idiot. I’ll have no worries in the future.’
Jin brushed off the blood on the blade and winked at the captains.
“We will disperse from here. Lata and I are going to deal with the Seygal brothers, so the captains, search the rest of the space.”
“All right.”
The leaders dispersed, and Jin and Lata quickly and stealthily moved to the Seygal brothers’ residence.
As the two were exceptionally talented, most of the people they encountered on the way died without even recognizing them.
Eventually, upon reaching the last room, the two were able to face the Seygal brothers standing armed.
“You Lata Froch…!”
“How did you know and come here?”
Lata did not answer and lightly turned her twin swords.
“Okay, so we finally see the end like this. But do you think you can face us alone?”
“come!”
They completely ruled out the assumption that the man standing next to Lata, Jin, was a superior warrior.
That’s why Rox Seygal had to suffer the humiliation of having his leg cut off right after focusing all his attention on Lata’s movements.
