Chapter 514,
Chapter 141. Fall (7)
Sota Desert.
The riders and the Black Knight weren’t the only ones who carried out their mission there.
‘There were other people… more?’
Joshua barely lifted his head to look at Rosa. I couldn’t see what expression she was making because of the darkness in the dungeon.
“The four Dark Knights, the first group of the Black Sword Society, and the others I personally hired… I was also in that desert.”
“What is that…!”
Except for Joshua.
Even Jean and Deepus Morn Jane. No one knew that Rosa and her knights were in Sota Desert.
They weren’t together from the beginning. They entered the desert after the party started their operation. And their goal wasn’t just to successfully steal the blueprints.
“I watched you.”
What choices do the jockeys make and how do they succeed in their mission?
In particular, what kind of judgment does Joshua make among them?
Rosa, hiding in the desert with the troops she personally led, watched the overall flow of the mission.
-Only Mon was left in the underground drying room of the acting governor. The 2nd Horseman seems to have decided to monopolize the information after all. But it won’t be long before Kinzelo comes out at the same time.
-4 Horseman 12 Horseman Murakan. OK to start moving. I decided that if I pursued it further, I would be more likely to be spotted by the boundary crystal ball, so I backed off.
– If you’re the youngest, you probably already know that the real thing is not a drying ground, but a 2 magic tower. Wait near the 2nd Mage Tower and report again until the youngest party overcomes the barrier.
-Honorable name!
Even when the barrier of the 2 Magic Tower was destroyed by the spirit sword and an air fleet of over 100 ships was revealed, Rosa, unlike Jin and others, did not waver at all.
That much was already figured out a long time ago. It wasn’t the first time in the long history of the cold war that the riders who went to the Sota Desert didn’t know, but that Zipple was trying to build a flying fleet around Kojek.
– How many spies are there currently in the Garden of Swords?
-The ones that have been accurately identified are servants, ninety-seven lower-level Guardian Knights, twenty-mid-level Guardian Knights, twelve upper-level Guardian Knights, five butlers and gatekeepers of second-class or higher, fifteen riders, binary two, executive knights, five elders, seven, and one black knight. In addition, it is estimated that there are at least twenty more spies capable of deadly intelligence.
-Who is the spy we planted in Zipple?
-Ziple Bongaen forty servants, ten low-level wizards, five middle-level wizards, one elder, and one mage tower wizard. That is all.
The last meeting of riders personally convened by Chiron right before leaving for the Black Sea.
The conversation between Shiron and Runtia that day was nuanced, as if Runcandel was far behind in information warfare compared to Ziple.
In fact, it was Runkandel, not Zipple, who was digging up more lethal inside information. The worst spy, Barton Vichena, the Black Knight, was killed by Jin and Dipus.
-It must have been Jonah who informed Kingelo of the riders’ operation time.
– It will. I didn’t expect to take on such a double commission, Sir Rosa.
It is no different that Rosa was able to hide in the desert while avoiding the eyes of Jin and Jonah, Ziffle and Kingelo throughout the Sota Desert mission.
The only one who rules Yubaek City, the nameless king Oul.
It was thanks to him and the best unknown killers hired.
-I’ll do this request.
-Can not be done.
– I’ll go even if you dry it hehe.
-If you really want to go. A few conditions must be attached.
It was right after Jonah left that Rosa found Oul.
-I know that when the youngest was a reserve jockey, Sir Oul delayed Yona’s return to the family under the pretext of Mandokju. However, that shouldn’t have been the story that it was okay to persuade Yona to betray Runcandel…
Sir Rosa’s words seem to have gone too far.
-At least, since Shiron was absent and I came instead, it ended with just talking too much.
-Isn’t Runkandel supposed to thank me for sending Jonah to Sota Desert?
-In a turbulent world, if Kyung did it purely out of a willingness to stand by Runkandel’s side, it would be something to be thankful for.
-That’s not a very wrong story either.
-Kyung would have placed a condition instead of letting Yona go. Bring the original or a copy of the blueprint to Private. Kyung would have tried to balance between the giant forces holding it as a negotiating plaque. Wouldn’t this also be a very wrong story?
-hmm.
-Even for Sir, the cost of deceiving Runcandel is heavy. But I don’t want to turn Nameless into an enemy with this. Come with me to Sota Desert.
-That’s the story of my generation’s obscurity to pretend to be with Ziffle Sir Rosa.
-I won’t make you very difficult. Engaging in combat and stealing vaults means that Exotics do not have to participate. Sir, just help me hide. Concealing others is not even Jonah can follow the sutra?
As he said, Owl only helped with hiding and observation. Not only he, but the unknown best killers who came to Sota Desert with him did not pull out their swords until the incident was over.
-As confirmed so far, the only remaining members of the 2nd Mage Tower are Sandra Ziple and 4 members of the Wraith. The 12th and 4th riders have also entered the Mage Tower, so the battle should have ended by now.
– A phenomenon in which a first-class superhuman is using force is being detected.
-This is the realm of vibration kendo. Could it be that he was here…
– The phenomenon continues to get worse. At this rate, the Horsemen and the Black Knight Jane are likely to die soon. The rescue operation is ready.
– Wait.
-…There was just a time warp in the 2nd Mage Tower. The silver dragon’s claw was used. Jonah also participated. Sir Rosa, are you really okay?
-You seem worried about Jonah, Sir Owl.
-2 The Mage Tower collapse begins. Draka’s main force will come soon. This is your last chance to approach the acting governor.
-Keep waiting.
If only mission success and riders’ survival were the goal.
Rosa should have entered then.
But Rosa Runkandel wanted to check more.
I was looking forward to the moment when Joshua Runkandel awakens and blooms. If that didn’t work, I wanted to see him at least make a better judgment than the maknae.
At least that much I believed I could do.
-It is estimated to be influenced by Sandra Ziple, a first-class superhuman who stopped fighting. We are moving to the ship Grenil.
-2 Mage Tower battle ends. The riders escape. Black Knight Jane is confirmed to be mortally wounded and Sandra Zipple joins them.
Later, the riders met Zephyrin and asked for an escort, Jin used his wisdom to break through the Romin Forest, and even the moment Jane made a sacrifice at the central border.
Rosa didn’t get to see what she expected in the end.
In the end, it was Jin, not Joshua, who made the mission a success.
“While you’re making poor judgments throughout the mission and trying to save clones at all costs, causing the family’s Dark Knight to be lost in the process.”
“Ha… I was watching all of that.”
“Your youngest brother risked his life every moment to fight and eventually succeeded in his mission. Without the help of me and my family.”
“Why didn’t you help me! Couldn’t you have saved Sir Jane if you had stepped out…!”
“okay? That’s rather what I want to ask. Why didn’t you use the powers the Prophet planted in your clone when fighting Hedo?”
Joshua didn’t use that power until Jane’s sacrifice.
“Is it because you wanted to save copying? It won’t be just that. you guys were expecting If it’s the youngest, if it’s Deepus, if it’s Murakan, if it’s the family’s black knight! Wouldn’t it be possible to get better results without consuming duplicates? Such disgusting expectations.”
“No I am. I… a volcano after all.”
“That’s because at that time, your only option was that. Weak people like you mistake the choice they made because they were pushed for it to be their own will…
”
“If I hadn’t hesitated and used that power when I met Hedo, Jane wouldn’t have died. Because I was in the desert Everyone was prepared for the one and only death from time to time, but you saved cloning until the end. That was your real choice and will.”
Joshua couldn’t say anything.
Even if he was stripped naked and his internal organs exposed, he would not have felt more pierced from the inside than this.
“Then, terrified, he led the knights back to the family, stuttering and trembling at the few words of my questioning, begging for fault…? When you were cut by my sword, couldn’t you scream and fight back?”
A transcendent struggle to overcome right and wrong.
Until the very end, Joshua only disappointed Rosa.
What makes her even more maddeningly bitter. It was the fact that when Joshua had disgusting expectations of Jean, he did too. From a certain point on, Rosa was also focusing on how far Jin could go, not on Joshua’s choice.
The youngest son of Gene Runkandel himself.
He always had the power to make everyone look forward to it. Just like Luna did.
“It’s not just Sota Desert, Joshua. In the meantime, I have sent eyes watching you to the numerous missions you have participated in. And I was never satisfied.”
“Kill me… I don’t deserve to be alive. Both the mother and the members of the family. Nothing will be expected of me anymore.”
“This is a place where you cannot die even if you want to die. Your sins are not light enough to be solved by death. And like you said, I don’t expect anything from you anymore. But the prophecy you have.”
…
Chiron Runkandel will call and have the shadows again…
…
…
Joshua Runkandel.
Joshua Runkandel will call and have the shadows again. That shadow will never again pass away in the glory of Joshua Runkandel.
Finally, your war will end in victory and eternal blessings will fall upon the earth.
Worship him who called the shadows.
“I think the absolutely felt language of God is still worth looking forward to.”
Joshua laughed involuntarily at that point.
“Puhuh… A prophecy? Are you saying that you are looking forward to the prophecy that has not yet been fulfilled?”
“You are not dead yet. And I look forward not only to the fulfillment of the prophecy, but also to the struggle to break it. Your youngest brother Jin. It seems unlikely that the child’s struggles will not break the prophecy. No matter how absolute it is.”
“under.”
“Prophecy or Conflict, which one do you think I have more expectations for?”
Rosa turned around.
She went on like this with a hint of arsenic.
“If there ever comes a day when your prophecy from this dungeon leads you into a world of real struggle, if you endure that world. I’ll bring you back to the ground Of course… As always, your prophecies will disappoint me this time too. Just like you always have.”
