Chapter 486,
Chapter 135. Brotherly Unity (3)
Coke Coke!
Difus’s terrified clearing of his throat echoed through the barracks.
“what?”
For a moment, I wondered if my ears were wrong, and as soon as I asked again, I heard the answer.
“I told you to kill the second horseman on this mission.”
Let’s kill Joshua.
It was the first time Difus had ever heard such a word in his life. Mary in her prime had never even said anything like that.
‘I’ve thought about it before, but he’s really crazy. This…’
And he was also a scary guy.
‘I’m definitely not the kind of person who will speak without thinking. When I said to kill Joshua, it means that the plan has already been completed.’
I couldn’t immediately recall what the guy who had just arrived at the barracks was planning to do to kill Joshua, but I got goosebumps.
“Anyway, you have a knack for surprising people. Why do you want to kill that human? I’m sure you’re not mad at me for making fun of your new nickname, Black Prince.”
“Of course not for that reason, but it wasn’t very pleasant.”
“Joshua might have thought that your title was really cool. Joshua when he was young liked the title of Black Lion the most among his nicknames. Did you say it feels like inheriting your mother?”
Jin and Deepus laughed lightly.
“I didn’t know the second jockey had such a cute side.”
“If we had spent childhood together, it would have felt cuter. Anyway, what if I decline your offer?”
When Difus asked while adjusting his expression, Jin shrugged.
“Is there a reason for that?”
“Once the infiltration of the underground drying ground begins, all enforcement knights in Sota Desert will return to their families.”
“If you’re not at the level of the Black Knight, it’s probably because it’s impossible to retreat after infiltrating.”
“okay. Therefore, the only people directly carrying out the mission are you and me, Murakan-sama, the 2nd Horseman you said you would kill, and his two dark knights. It means that each person is precious in order to complete the mission.”
Then Jin sighed.
“You are talking like someone who entered the secret drying yard in the Sota Desert without knowing that it was a trap set by Ziple, brother.”
Difus’ pupils narrowed.
“Anyway, this mission can only be half-successful at best. Returning safely after destroying the facility is the best result. ship blueprints? Would Ziffle intentionally leak the location of this place and leave something like that? 4 11 17 District 19 is definitely not going to have anything important at all.”
The purpose of Ziple leaking the location of the secret dry farm in the Sota Desert.
That was a problem that Difus had been thinking about all along. Even though they knew it was a trap, they came in because the number of cases was too large, but it was difficult to get a sense of what the purpose of Zipple was.
‘Does the youngest guess the purpose of Zipple? It’s not an empty word to kill Joshua, so what is your intention?’
As Deepus was about to think about it, Jin opened his mouth again.
“Stop wandering and make your choice. Will you join in killing Joshua or not? I’ll give you 5 seconds. After that, even if hyung-nim changes his mind, I will take care of it myself. 5 4.”
“Hey hey youngest! for a moment!”
“3 2…”
In the end, Difus nodded before Jin could finish counting.
Although he feels dirty because he feels like he is being dragged around, he has a strong intuition that if he doesn’t negotiate with the youngest now, he will somehow go out of his way and suffer in vain in this mission.
Above all, it was an opportunity.
A chance to ‘certainly’ kill his eldest brother, who he wanted to kill for the rest of his life. The youngest that Difus saw was definitely a person who fulfilled what he said.
“Damn I got it! together.”
“It’s a beautiful moment of brotherly unity. You won’t regret it.”
Looking at Jin who smiled, Difus cursed inwardly that there were no demons.
“There is only one condition.”
“Tell me.”
“Share with me everything you know.”
“chamberlain?”
“Information about the character of Joshua’s helper, the Prophet, and the purpose of Zipple you thought. And why you want to kill Joshua.”
“Is that all?”
“okay.”
“The first will be informed after the mission is over. Instead, I’ll tell you the second and the third right away. The purpose of Zipple, in my view, is to test the capabilities of outside forces.”
“Zipple’s purpose is to use the drying yard as bait to check the power of external forces? Isn’t that a bit of a leap? I can’t even imagine how much manpower and resources went into this facility.”
“You can think of it that way. But maybe my older brother was still thinking about the purpose of Zipple. Do you have a better reason than what I just said?”
There was no
Dippus was also aware of the premise of ‘there is no all-out war as long as there is Shiron’, so he was even more worried.
“Especially, Zipline would have needed to see what Joshua was capable of. To be precise, I want to see if Joshua and his mother have the power to protect the family in place of their father. The world’s greatest swordsman. Hasn’t the era arrived where such a name alone can’t survive?”
Kingelo’s mysterious power Bouvard’s power of chaos Master Jeeple’s living golem and flying ship mass production and manipulation of space-time device history.
In this situation, Runkandel was holding out with only one sword. At least that’s what has been shown so far.
“Thus, the moment we start infiltrating, Ziffle has already achieved part of its goal. If it wasn’t for the power of the Prophet in the first place, we wouldn’t have been able to create such a perfect penetration path.”
“i get it. So what’s the third? Aside from the method of killing the second rider, what is the purpose? What benefit will the death of the Second Horseman bring to the family?”
Although he was asking, Difus had already come to his own conclusion.
How will Joshua’s death affect the family?
‘If I and the youngest kill the 2nd horseman in this mission, a division will surely come to the family. Then I have to do a water change and rearrangement.’
Remove Rosa and Joshua’s rotten Runcandel.
That was the reorganization that Difus had in mind.
After Jin, through Mary, publicized the existence of the ‘legacy of the first family head’ to the family.
The brothers, especially Difus and Mary, no longer respected Rosa’s favoritism. The premise that ‘Rosa always makes judgments for the sake of the family’ has been broken.
From then on, Rosa’s favoritism to Dipus was the biggest culprit in destroying the family.
‘Of course, the utility value of Joshua and his mother has not completely disappeared. After changing the water, I have to make a decision with my mother. The existence of the Prophet is actually under the control of Mother, not Joshua anyway.’
What next?
The remaining riders had to continue fighting for the throne, find the legacy of the first family head, and restore the dignity of the old Runcandel.
He had to cut off the curse that bound the family and enter the era of the brilliant magic sword that Jin showed at a glance.
Although they were fighting over the throne, Dipus was in favor of Jin’s declaration of return of the demonic sword.
Jin seemed to be able to clearly see the paintings that Difus was drawing right now.
Those series of thoughts certainly had a not bad shape.
‘The paintings that Difus is thinking of are close to the royal road. The problem is, there’s absolutely no way Joshua sent his body, not a clone, to this dangerous place. Difus-nim didn’t know that, so he accepted my offer as if he were being drawn to it, thinking it was a great opportunity to change his family.’
Hiding a bitter smile inside, Jin met Dipus’s eyes.
“It feels like getting your exam papers graded, second brother. What are the benefits to the family? This is your chance to sever the rotten links of favoritism and purify your family. Even if you kill Joshua, the Prophet will still belong to your mother, so you can decide what to do with his abilities then.”
Dipus’ pupils widened.
The fact that Jin had the same thoughts as her made her feel strangely sympathetic. It was just a pity that the youngest was not his perfect ally like Mary.
“Second brother, I honestly had no intention of making this proposal to you. Because I think I can kill Joshua enough by myself. By the way, Sister Mary asked for a favor. Be sure to come back without getting hurt like your older brother.”
“Mary said something out of place. creepy Were you the kind to be moved by such lukewarm words?”
“It’s not like that, but I’m a human too. Sometimes you feel family love, and sometimes you want to return the favor of your blood relatives. That’s why I told you in advance so that my older brother would not get hurt in the process of killing Joshua. Coincidentally, my brother and I have the same purpose.”
It was sincere.
“Is that enough?”
Difus nodded and held out his hand to Jin.
“As you said, this is a beautiful moment of brotherly unity. It will be temporary.”
Jin, who held that hand, felt that his conscience was being pricked for the first time in a long time.
‘Well… Even if it’s the death of a clone, I will definitely make it beneficial to the family in the end, so Difus should understand me.’
Even if they didn’t understand, after the incident was over, only Difus would be funny.
If everything goes according to Jin’s plan.
“Now tell me about your plan to kill him. There will undoubtedly be many variables, so let’s put our heads together and try to reduce the problem until we infiltrate.”
* * *
February 28, 1800 at two o’clock in the morning.
The operation began when the execution knights cleared the barracks and withdrew.
Jin and Murakan Deepus Joshua and the two Black Knights. The remaining six people donned undercover suits and ran underground in the Sota Desert.
The basement was a tunnel that stretched from the site where the barracks were located to the secret drying ground, which Joshua had also formed in advance using the power of the Prophet.
And as soon as I reached the beginning of the dryer, I ran for a while in silence.
The party was able to face an unexpected landscape.
“…Looks like the rats used our burrow first.”
said Joshua, looking at something round at his feet. Upon checking the face of the human head, it turned out to be one of the drying yard managers.
“I think it’s Kingelo, 2nd Horseman.”
The moment the black knight said so.
Puff-!
The sounds of something breaking and popping came from beyond the cave.
“…It looks like the beasts are causing trouble.”
Joshua spit out and looked over the burrow.
