Chapter 844,
Chapter 210. Memories of the past – Murakan (3)
Ziple’s reply said that he would accept surrender.
However, that was not a proper answer, but a joke.
“Give me the body of the patriarch? These motherfuckers…!”
Silderrey trembled and screamed.
Bring Temar’s body to Zipple and have all the Teenage Knights and Guardian Knights beheaded in the Land of Zipple. If you do that, I will keep the family members who pose no threat to you as much as your fingernails and use them as slaves.
That was the condition that Zipple suggested.
“I knew this, Diana. He said he was crazy to tell them he would surrender in the first place. Do those motherfuckers have a reason to keep us alive? Showing our willingness to surrender is like showing them that we have no choice left.”
Even as Diana, she could no longer stop Silderray. She, too, was barely suppressing her simmering anger.
“How much time do you have left on Silderrey?”
It was to ask how long they could endure the ghost transformation.
“I don’t know. It can collapse suddenly at any time. It’s probably only a couple of months at most. And when I’m crazy, you won’t even know I’m crazy. Like the guys who went before… I’m still confused that maybe I’m going crazy.”
“I am similar. What we do has been decided. Until we go crazy, until then, we will somehow defend the storm and the garden of swords.”
Diana decided that was also a way to keep her promise to Solderlet.
Accepting all of Ziple’s conditions couldn’t be called surrender anyway. It was only about being trampled without resistance. It’s not about keeping promises. It was neither an act for survival nor a choice for the future.
“Yes, I was worried that you would ask me to accept this condition. I’m sure you’re not crazy yet, either.”
“But I don’t know what happens after the rejection. It’s all we can do. Unless a miracle happens, the family will perish.”
“A miracle must happen. Just like the family head always did.”
“You keep waiting in the storm castle. If we refuse, the attack is likely to begin immediately.”
“What if they don’t attack and only care about accelerating the fabrication of history?”
“We hit first. Before I become a monster, I have to fight while I have reason left and even scratch it. Fortunately, it is the fact that Elona Ziple seems to be unable to move.”
If Elona was in good shape, there would be no reason for Ziffle, who had won so clearly, to remain still.
Aside from Temar and Murakan, Sarah was the only member of Runkandel who could ‘combat’ with Elona.
However, Sarah is in a situation where both body and mind are devastated by the series of battles and manipulation of history.
At this point, even Sarah wouldn’t be able to stand against Elona. Even in the days when it was possible to fight, it meant that a fight worthy of a fight was possible, but victory was absolutely impossible. It was to the point where even all the teenage knights could not defeat Elona.
Zipline was well aware of that fact.
Still, the fact that Elona was not being sent could only be because she had a problem.
A fabrication of history that turns Temar and the Teenage Knights into specters.
The core was, of course, Elona, and she was exhausted, as expected of Diana.
“I will immediately return to the Garden of Swords and inform the members of this fact. Soon, I’ll look for someone who can subdue the runaway in your place. Since you’ve become so weak, you don’t have to deal with the family head yourself.”
“I got it, Diana.”
Diana immediately returned to the Garden of Swords.
I also prepared a reply to send to Zipple on the way back. You guys have no intention of accepting that dog’s condition, so let’s stick together until we die.
“Kin, did you hear any news from the butler while I was gone?”
“None. Where the hell did you go… You should be safe.”
“Hmm, I think Reed ran away?”
It was Rokia’s voice. Diana narrowed her eyes as soon as she emerged from the dim hallway.
“Watch out for Rokia. Is it not enough to call the butler’s name carelessly and even say that you ran away?”
“Oh, you’re tight again. why are you running away? If you’re going to keep your promise to Solderlet, it might be best for Leed to run away, right? Unlike us, they are a species that can live for as long as eternity.”
“Even if the family is weakened, it does not mean that even the law has collapsed. Stop talking, this is the final warning.”
“Yes, I am scared, I am scared. But am I not wrong? The butler might have judged that.”
“If that’s the case, it’s the butler’s will and it will definitely be the right choice, so we don’t have to try to figure it all out. We just have to do our part.”
“Well, the butler isn’t someone who would betray us. If I was going to betray, there were already too many better opportunities. How many sweet suggestions have you made to the butler and fairies at Zipple? The butler has never even thought about it.”
“Why did you say something annoying when you knew that?”
“Diana, do you think this world is fair?”
“what?”
“That’s right. In this world, if we have to argue, we are the ones who pursue justice and liberation, but we have no choice but to suffer more than Ziffle, who manipulates history and commits evil to become the ruler of the world. Is it really fair?”
“No one forced us to fight Zipple. We are going. I just couldn’t stand watching what they were doing, so I stood up to fight. I didn’t expect anything in return, so it’s bound to be painful.”
“You are very welcome, Diana. Not just you, but other guys too. Oh, I’ll have to take out one or two… Guys like Veil don’t have such a big heart.”
“I hope you’re not among those one or two, Rokia.”
“I have no intention of betraying or running away. Rather, if Ziple had accepted our surrender neatly this time, we would have had to run away. As you know, I tortured the pure bloods of Ziffle so much that my grudge against them piled up. Even if Runkandel and Ziple become one family, there is no place for me.”
“I’m glad then.”
Diana then worked with Rokia to plan how to start the final fight with Ziple.
Of course, there was no great number to come up with. I just have to think about a case where I can face my end with even a little more pride.
“Then I must go see the Padler.”
“…Fadler?”
After this month was destroyed, Padler became a vengeful demon and threatened Runcandel. He did not attack powerless family members or ordinary knights, but all the remaining teenage knights were his targets. even Sarah.
Padler was recognizing that Temar alone did not destroy Idal. He thought that his family betrayed him first and that Temar and the teenage knights all destroyed this month together. He, too, was on the way to becoming the specter of history manipulation.
“okay. It’s the last fight, but if you have a paddler, you can’t help but take a lot of damage before you even fight. Just as Murakan sent his comrades, we should do the same. If I die anyway, I’ll meet you somewhere, so I won’t be as sad as Murakan. This is also for the Padler.”
“Whoa.”
“I’ll go right away. Solderlet, let me know if that goddamn god ever shows up. Even though my colleagues have reached the point where they have no choice but to kill them, what the hell are they preparing for so they can’t help? If you have the power to create a barrier for the family head, I would rather protect the remaining people.”
That’s how Runkandel started its last stand.
It was a struggle that started without much hope, and the results were also days that did not deviate from expectations. It’s just that Elona couldn’t step forward, so there was no change at all in the charter, which had already tilted as it was already tilting, only winning a very small victory.
Murakan opened his eyes once again in the midst of such a war. This time, he woke up after a month.
Next to him was Diana, who was lying on the bed with him.
“Diana… why are you so hurt?”
“I was fighting with Zipple. Fortunately, everything is treatable.”
“Ah… I see. My head is fuzzy and I don’t know what to say.”
Murakan immediately fell asleep again and this time woke up to no one to see. The silence in an instant brought out Murakan’s painful memories.
As Murakan screamed while clutching his head, servants passing through the hallway hurriedly ran into the hospital room. In Murakan’s eyes, they looked like the comrades he had killed.
His broken mind couldn’t afford to accept reality.
However, Murakan remained awake for several days and months after that day without falling asleep.
All he had to do was sit in a chair and stare blankly into space, but that alone was a great comfort to the members of Runkandel.
There was also a reason why an unexpected hope was born in the war just yesterday.
“Murakan How are you feeling today?”
Silderrey sat down next to Murakan and said.
“Ah…”
“You haven’t completely forgotten how to speak, have you? I’ve heard from the servants that he says something sensible once in a while. I’ve been busy killing jiples lately, so I’ve never heard of it myself.”
“right.”
“I just found out yesterday that Elona Ziple’s situation is much worse than we expected. So if you come back, we have a chance. if if what if If Solderlet can fix your heart and bring you back to your senses… it might really turn things around.”
Murakan didn’t understand Silderrey’s words and just stared into space. Silderrey was not disappointed and threw his arm around his shoulder.
“If only Elona can’t come out, we’ll be able to buy quite a bit of time. I can definitely feel that the revenantization of me and the others has weakened lately. Elona was the biggest reason that the crazy guys Ziple was able to win from us. Now that the war is over, they are afraid of Elona and are rejecting her.”
“ah.”
“Anyway, I brought some of your favorite fruits today. The cooks will be making pies soon, so eat and cheer up.”
“Silderray!”
Suddenly Diana’s voice was heard. It was an urgent but bright voice. Silderrey met her eyes, sensing the good news.
“What’s up Diana?”
“I got a call from Storm Castle. The patriarch… regained consciousness for a while and left an order!”
