Chapter 538,
Chapter 145. Omen (7)
* * *
For the Runkandel camp, which was watching all of this from outside the Imperial Palace.
It was truly a series of shocks.
If it was just to annihilate the enemies, it would have been possible without Rosa stepping out, with only the riders and some of the Black Knights, or the first group of Black Swordsmen.
However, making sure that none of the allies die in the process was a completely different problem.
Silence hung over the barracks.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten what to say because they were thinking of Jin’s divine inaction.
The elders cleared their throats and looked into Rosa’s eyes.
“The 12th rider only shows shocking images every day. Are you saying that it’s possible or not?”
“When I announced the return of the demonic sword, nothing was shown. Now, with the value of legitimacy, I can’t disparage the magic swords of the 12 Horsemen…”
Ran and Vigo Myu and Ann were also in the barracks.
The brother shook or nodded his head from time to time and couldn’t escape the shock, while the sister had an expressionless face.
Rosa looked at her sister.
‘Surely things have changed in those two kids since I dropped Joshua.’
Rosa had never been interested in Mew and Anne.
As always with other children who did not stand out.
Among them, Mu and Ann were especially ugly children.
To the extent that even stepping on or scolding them to stimulate them is a waste of time.
However, after that day, even if the feeling has changed, it has changed too much.
The original two people still don’t know the subject, and they have to go wild and talk nonsense, but their calm appearance was strange.
Because of this, Rosa has been watching over them these days.
‘They weren’t trees that could gain weight through some enlightenment.’
What made the daughters change?
‘He maintains his composure even after seeing the youngest’s overwhelming appearance… However, he doesn’t seem to have given up everything just waiting for the day he will die.’
Rosa soon came to a conclusion.
‘Looks like you’ve met the Prophet. That’s why they might have faith that a greater power is with them than the one the youngest showed.’
Rosa closed her eyes and opened her mouth.
“There will be restrictions.”
The buzzing people stopped talking.
“If the youngest child can continue to use that much power without any restrictions, the family succession war is over.”
“That’s… yes.”
“you’re right. Since the 12th Horseman is a shadow contractor, he must have borrowed the power of the solderlet through certain conditions.”
“Weren’t there reports of artifacts being used? It could be God’s thing.”
“Also, the youngest probably didn’t know he could use that much power. If he had known, he would have revealed his power as soon as the war started. Unlike before the demonic sword return declaration, the youngest does not have to hide his power anymore.”
Those gathered in the barracks nodded.
It was a power that could be understood if there was a contract and God’s help.
Runkandel was a family far from God’s contract, and everyone was so shocked that they couldn’t think of it.
“The first match ended with a perfect victory for the Geomwangseong Fortress. But I don’t think Zipple will give up on that white stone.”
The barracks door opened and two Dark Knights entered.
“The troop movement of the acting California governor Ziple has been confirmed.”
“What size?”
“More than 50 flying ships, including Kojek, are not accurately identified, but it is estimated that at least three hundred top wizards, including the Wraith, are on board. Octavia Zipple was in charge of the overall command, but we cannot rule out the possibility of Kellyac Ziffle.”
“Kelliac Ziple…?”
“her.”
It wasn’t certain yet, it was just a report that it could be.
However, the size of the secondary reinforcements would not be strange at all even if Kelliac was present.
Kellyac Zipple.
The world’s number one leader and the pinnacle of magic.
His movement in Zipple was the same as Shiron’s stepping out of Runcandel.
Rosa’s eyes narrowed.
“What is the basis for Kelliac’s possible participation in the war?”
“The Fire Dragon, Kadun, was spotted leaving the 1st Magic Tower. We also confirmed that the composition of the 1st Mage Tower wizards rapidly changed to binary.”
“Then it’s almost certain that Kelliac will step in.”
“That’s what I think, Acting Governor.”
“How long do you think it will take to reach Geomhwangseong?”
“Two days. The teleportation ability shown in the past Gaifa Islands and the first battle of this war is unusable.”
“It’s a technology we don’t know about. It also seems to have some limitations.”
There was another heavy silence.
Runcandel and Ziple have been fighting big and small from time to time.
The battle that lasted a thousand years was no longer a war, but more like a daily routine.
It was when Chiron and Kelliac were young that the quarrel reached its peak.
When they hadn’t ascended to the family home yet, the two families fought more fiercely than ever before.
And after each became head of household, they entered a period of stability.
It was because, from then on, the moment the family heads directly confront each other, one side will surely come to an end, and the other side will also be placed on the verge of destruction.
Therefore, Shiron and Kelliac rarely led their followers to the battlefield.
No matter how they came out, the moment they appeared, the war ended instantly on any battlefield.
The two are literally the absolutes of the world.
Such Kelliac is stepping out directly.
It was heading towards Geomwangseong, not Hufester, but blocking it meant an all-out war.
Everyone was concerned about an all-out war as soon as the name came out, but Rosa had a different idea from them.
“Unlike the family head, Kelliac is the one who prioritizes negotiations. Even though it is in the Black Sea, the family lord has corrected it, so he wouldn’t think of an all-out war with us. did everyone forget? He is afraid of the lord.”
Rosa judged that Kelliac was coming in person to negotiate with her.
“However, we cannot avoid an all-out war. The Dark Knights, immediately go to the Black Sea and report the situation to the Lord.”
Since Shiron had already entered more than the depths of the Black Sea, it was impossible to make a quick report even for the Black Knight.
Maybe we never met.
However, Rosa deliberately gave the order as if the report would reach her so that the members would not be concerned about it, and the Dark Knights immediately understood her meaning.
“Honorable name!”
“Also, summon all the Black Knights, Execution Knights, Black Sword Society 1st Guard Knights, and all the riders except for the reporter, and have allies stand by. When my order is given, I can immediately move in line with the war scenario.”
“All right!”
Some of the elders and secretaries of the Black Sword Society hurriedly left the barracks to carry out Rosa’s orders.
“All-out war is something that cannot be ruled out, but the important thing is not that, but the white stone. It has already been proven that the fleet was summoned in the first battle and the large-scale reinforcements are now coming. The white stone is an indispensable thing for them. But we don’t even know what it is yet.”
“Shall we send someone to Geomhwangseong?”
At the words of the bookkeeper, Rosa shook her head.
“no. If the youngest child knew exactly what the white stone was and was sure that the family needed it, he would have asked the family for help first. Even the youngest must be making a decision. Above all, the hostess is with her. It could just be like irritating her. For now, we have two days, so we’ll watch a little more.”
“Hmm, I don’t know why the 12th Horsemen aren’t leaving Geomwangseong. If the purpose of participating in the war was to rescue Dante Hylan, I would have to leave now when the opportunity arises, but there is no sign of that at all.”
Even Rosa found that part strange.
‘Under common sense, the youngest should lead Dante and the knights of Hiran to retreat even now. There’s no way they don’t know that bigger reinforcements are coming. At this point, it is the youngest’s way to absorb Hiran and start a public opinion battle, shaking the empire and urging the family to come forward, but why does he not leave the Imperial Palace?’
Is it because you can’t leave?
If only Dante was stubborn, the youngest would have forced him to leave the Geomwangseong even by beating him halfway to death.
It was the same in the case of saving not only Dante but also the other knights of Hiran.
If Rosa was the youngest person she knew, she could have taken Dante as a hostage or threatened the entire Highlan to leave the Imperial Palace.
“It is also suspicious that Kingelo is not moving. So far, there has been no movement of troops in the Land of the Prisoners as reported.”
“As in the case of the Black Emperor Terror, they will be able to use the portal to suddenly go to the battlefield. Keep an eye on it.”
Runkandel didn’t know, but Kingelo was currently in a state where he couldn’t use the leader’s power.
Therefore, in order for them to participate in the Geomhwang Holy War, the movement of troops should have already begun.
“The last magic used by the 12 Horsemen is the legacy of Riall Ziple. Acting Governor Maybe the reason Keliac moves isn’t just because of the white stone. Retrieving Liol Ziple’s magic seems to have been included in the purpose as well. Also, the artifacts used by the 12 Horsemen could also be Ziffle’s.”
When the head of the Tribunal, Telot Runkandel, spoke, Rosa nodded.
Rosa accurately read the hidden meaning of his words.
“That makes sense. You’re worried about the youngest, Chairman Homin.”
“…Joshua is finished and he is now the best person in the family except for the first rider. I have to worry.”
“If Keliac’s purpose is to find not only the White Stone, but also their own magic and artifacts, then you want to negotiate with me. That part will not be included in the content of the negotiations. It is unacceptable to ask for the return of what was stolen.”
It meant that even if there were negotiations rather than an all-out war, Jin would never make a loss.
“Chairman Homin thinks I’m stupid for worrying like that.”
It was a joke, but no one laughed.
Only Telot smiled and bowed her head.
There were really only a few people in the family who could take Rosa’s jokes in this way.
“I will end this meeting. to each location. And you two, Mew and Anne, stay for a while.”
