Chapter 533,
Chapter 145. Omen (2)
The fleet was being destroyed by the five swordsmen and the sword of Karmain.
The powers of shadow and time continued to trample the enemies.
Fragments of the shattered mass-produced ship fell menacingly to the ground, but even that was blocked by the flame retardant and did not do much damage to the Bamal Alliance and the knights of Hiran.
Amela’s rear artillery support was also continuing.
The captured dragon spears were now over twenty gates, and all were converted into howitzers, striking the enemy’s rear.
“The Courage Division! Crush the enemy. Block their magic so they don’t counterattack!”
At Calmine’s command, the dragon knights began flying towards the enemy camp.
There was no group in the world that could follow the dragon knight in mobile warfare.
The 30 dragon knights who were frantically stirring the sky were showing the best match for air combat against mages.
“Ah!”
“Damage, blood… billion!”
When Karmain and the Sword Saints penetrated the shield, the dragon knights penetrated and killed the wizards.
No one would have ever imagined how the wizards of Ziple, accompanied by a fleet and dragons, would die so pointlessly.
The screams and pleading voices of the enemies spread through the air and sky.
The five swordsmen and dragon knights answered like this every time they met their eyes and voices asking for help.
“Are you saying you invaded the land of Geomwang with such light determination?”
“Not one of them will survive!”
Whoaaah-!
Of course, Ziffel was not alone in suffering.
Even if the level mages didn’t know it, Baekya showed fighting spirit and potential even while on the defensive.
“The brilliant light of the Great Zipple will eventually devour you!”
One of the commanders of the Midnight Sun raised his staff while screaming.
Then, the ship that was in charge of the unit’s flagship was stained with magic and caused an ominous resonance.
Not all of them have had much experience with flying ships, and they don’t know all of the magic and combat methods of the jiples.
I could tell intuitively.
What that resonant sound meant was self-destruction.
[It’s messy. Murakan, you’ll have to stop that one. The power is too great to be bound by authority. Even if it’s a mass-produced ship, is a flying ship a flying ship?]
[The bug-like bugs that bother me…]
“Praise Zipple!”
“Disperse the dragon knights!”
Right before the flagship exploded, Murakan closed the distance and wrapped his wings around the flagship.
The aerodynamically extended wings remained large enough to cover the flying ship.
“Murakan!”
“Explosion!”
“I’m stupid enough to stop that…!”
Whoops…!
The worried voices of the Hiran knights were drowned out by the explosion that soon followed.
The commander of the Midnight Sun, who had been spitting mocking words, was swept away by the explosion of the fleet in the wings of Murakan and disintegrated as it was.
However, the flagship’s self-destruction was not visible from the outside at all.
It couldn’t pierce Murakan’s wings.
When Murakan spread his wings again, only the wreckage of the flagship, which had become ashes, mixed with the aura and fell to the ground like black rain.
[You guys have a knack for displeasing me. It’s always been like that since a thousand years ago…]
Thousands of black fangs protruded from the wings that still maintained their gigantic shape.
Surprisingly, the awls didn’t do any damage to the allies in the sky, and they spread by slaughtering only the magician and dragon fleet of Ziffle.
Muracan.
People were watching.
The power of the legendary Black Dragon, which everyone feared as the supreme king of the sky a thousand years ago.
No one could know that it was only 50% of the power.
That’s why the dragons of Ziple were now mistaken that Murakan had found all his strength.
It was a part where Jipl had no choice but to lose all his will to fight.
The war had already been reversed from the moment Jin appeared.
With the addition of the dragon knights and swordsmen of Murakan and Quikantel, Hiran’s battle seemed to be moving toward a complete victory.
[Murakan!]
A blue dragon took a seat in front of Murakan.
It was Laramaqua, whom I had met before at Black King Sanchae.
[Blue Dragon Laramaqua. Did you come to give up the life you saved then?]
[…Murakan I know why you are intervening in this fight. It’s probably to save a friend of your contractor, Gene Runcandel.]
[You’re saying that as if you don’t like it, Laramaqua.]
[Not at all. There will be no being in this sky who dares to say that he doesn’t like you. However… I would like to make one suggestion.]
Murakan’s wings became even bigger.
Laramaqua was weighed down by his overbearing appearance, and it was difficult to even meet his gaze.
[Tell me.]
[Can’t you take your contractor and step back?]
[Are you scorning me for allowing me to speak?]
[Not only your contractor, but also his colleagues and all the knights of Hiran. If you do, Ziffle will immediately declare defeat and an end to the war. I swear on the honor of my family and the name of Kaon, the god of the sea that I serve.]
At Laramaqua’s words, everyone on the battlefield widened their eyes.
In particular, the emperor, who was at the rear of the battlefield, was indignant with bloodshot eyes.
“What is that crazy blue dragon talking about right now…!”
When Ziple officially declares defeat, the Empire must follow suit.
It was a story that went beyond a plummeting prestige and could lead to the destruction of the entire imperial family.
When the emperor made a deal with Ziffle to help in this civil war, nothing was heard of such a case.
It was an incomprehensible proposal to the emperor.
Anyway, Jiple’s reinforcements will continue to arrive, and the ‘space-time device’ has not yet been used.
The emperor’s army also had a number of secrets prepared for the worst case scenario.
‘Even if it’s not the Black Dragon, Murakan, but Shiron Runkandel, he won’t be able to deal with all of the Jiples. Why are you talking bullshit like that! It’s an opportunity to get a white stone, but is it really a waste of these troops?’
The moment Murakan accepted the terms, the Bamal Alliance and Hyran were to win a landslide victory over Ziffle and the Empire.
Is that all?
As Jin told Dante in the first place, he was able to leave the battlefield by saving not only Dante but the entire Geomwang Castle.
With the great victory against Ziple alone, the status within the family would be further upgraded, and there was a high possibility that Hiran, still maintaining its full power, would become his force.
The explosion and evil that had been echoing the battlefield until just now was gone, and a frighteningly quiet silence hung around.
The people stopped fighting and fixed their eyes on Murakan and Laramaqua.
Murakan did not answer.
Because he didn’t think it was a question to answer.
The commander-in-chief of the Bamal Alliance and the person acting on behalf of Solderlet was his own contractor.
“No!”
When Jin shouted, the emperor smiled all over, Laramaqua gnashed his teeth, and the emperor let out a sigh.
Unlike the knights of Hailan, they did not reveal a change of heart.
From the moment they decided to confront the Emperor’s rampage, what they were trying to protect was honor, not life.
Also, water that has already been spilled cannot be put back in.
Although the casualties in Hiran were not yet serious, if even one person was killed by the sword of betrayal, it would be as good as all deaths.
If so, you should protect not only your honor, but one more thing.
You must never give up what your enemies covet.
“Blue Dragon is mistaken. Why did this war happen? Because of the thing the White Stone Emperor claims to be his. Because of just that, the Empire betrayed the Imperial Palace, and Ziffle is participating in the fight, revealing his obscene desires.”
[The twelfth horseman of Runkandel… the words are too much.]
“Now I am not standing here as the 12th horseman of Runkandel, but as the commander-in-chief of the Barmal Alliance. So raise your words and be polite, blue dragon.”
Laramaqua was stunned by those words, but Murakan in front of her was revealing his life as if he would tear off her wings at any moment.
Set an example What that word meant was gaze.
Jin wasn’t looking up at Laramaqua.
In the end, Laramaqua landed in front of Jin on the ground and transformed into a human.
Jin looked at her with an expressionless face.
‘Is the person I met at Black King Sanchae the right person? It’s been less than a year since then…’
The intimidation was different.
At that time, Laramaqua did not feel much inspiration from Jin because of Murakan’s prestige, but not now.
Even if she was holding this position as the representative of Runkandel rather than the head of the Barmal Union, a heavy and powerful energy that would not be lacking was weighing down her inner side.
It wasn’t just a feeling that came from the result of Jin’s remarkable growth during that time.
It was because the ‘power of existence’, which was first known in the records left by Solderlet in the past, was slowly awakening from Jin.
The countless changes in the world caused by Jin and the power awakened by those who followed him.
That power was forming a transcendental class beyond inaction and power.
“…May I ask why you are rejecting my offer?”
“As I said before, the war was caused by greed for the white stone. So if we have to retreat, it must be you, not us. Give up the white stone of Hailan and withdraw. If you accept my revised proposal, I will immediately persuade Dante and the Emperor to declare an end to the war.”
“Is it not enough to save friends and their people? That white stone probably isn’t that important to Runkandel…!”
“Whether or not that is important to Runkandel is not for you to decide.”
“I mean, you’re thinking of going into an all-out war with Ziple!”
Considering the immediate situation, Laramaqua could have been right.
If they continued to fight like this, they would have to prepare for devastating damage to Jin and the people of Jin as well as Geomwangseong.
However, Jin was convinced that if the white stone fell to the enemies, more terrible results would result.
Even if you see that Ziffle desires this much, it will eventually become an object that destroys those who are not Ziffle.
“There is nothing I can do. But in fact, isn’t it you, not me, who really fears an all-out war? That’s why I suggested negotiations before the war escalated. No. If you are confident, go ahead. I mean, don’t insult me, my comrades, and the Darkness by making unreasonable suggestions.”
