Episode 710
“….”
Glenn, who returned to Sieghart, clenched his fists as he looked at the completely ruined castle walls.
I was heartbroken that the wall had once again collapsed, but now there was work to be done first.
Glenn let out a cold breath and climbed over the ruined castle wall.
“Go, matriarch!”
“Meet the matriarch!”
Non-banquet owner Chad and Foreign Minister Iliun, who were carrying out restoration work inside the castle walls, bowed their heads to Glenn.
“It’s time to say hello. “Let’s start by reporting the situation.”
Glenn walked down the main street leading to the main building, motioning for Iliun and Chad to follow him.
“Thanks to advance preparation, the damage to the outer castle was not significant. “There are no civilian casualties.”
Iliun nodded, saying that the damage was small compared to the number of enemies that attacked.
“What is your tolerance?”
Glenn turned his gaze to Chad.
“The defense was mostly successful, but the Senate guarding the main building suffered significant damage. “The majority of the dead are concentrated there.”
He said he was sorry and sighed.
“The Senate?”
Glenn frowned as he looked at the main building reflected in the distance.
The Senate is the strongest of Sieghardt’s armed forces.
I did not understand that the greatest damage was to the Senate, which had more force than the Heavenly Swordsman.
“Maybe there was denier in the main building?”
“you’re right. “Half of the Hyeonmujeon and the Senate remained.”
Chad nodded, saying that half of the Senate remained in the outer castle and half in the main building.
“It is said that it was difficult to stop it because apostle-level blood demons wearing black robes and Eden executives wearing masks attacked at the same time.”
“Black robe…”
When I said black robe, I thought of the blood demon that followed me until the end when I entered the White Blood Church headquarters.
Even though he was not an apostle, he had a force comparable to that of an apostle, and it seemed like they were attacking him.
“The White Blood Church, Eden, and even the assassins rushed in as if they had seen an enemy. “If the Great Lord of Gwangpung had not told us to prepare in advance, the damage would have been much greater.”
Iliun laughed, saying that many people were able to survive thanks to Raon.
“But where is Raon…”
Chad looked behind Glenn and tilted his head. The situation at the label lecture progressed so urgently that he had not yet figured out what had happened.
“…I will hold a general meeting. “Call together all remaining executives.”
Glenn did not give an answer to Chad and Iliun’s questions, but only gave instructions to convene a meeting.
“Ah, I understand…”
Chad stood there, his lips quivering, as if he felt the heavy air rising beneath Glenn’s feet.
Glenn didn’t stop walking until he reached the main building. As he was about to enter the Gaju battle, Aris waved his hand from the right.
“father!”
Aris grabbed the wrist of Sylvia who was next to her and ran to Glenn.
“Where is Raon?”
She smiled confidently, as if she wasn’t even thinking about Raon’s defeat.
“Matriarch. Raon won, right?”
Sylvia also showed unwavering eyes as if she trusted Raon.
“….”
Glenn chewed his lip, looking at Sylvia, who had her hands clasped together.
When I met Sylvia’s kind eyes that only thought of my son, I felt a pain that felt like my heart was being ripped out.
“You too…”
He opened his mouth, suppressing the trembling in his fingertips.
“Please come to the throne room.”
“yes? Why suddenly…”
“What kind of throne room is this?” “Where is Raon?”
“….”
Glenn entered the family battle without giving an answer.
Ignoring the questions and concerns coming from behind, I walked to the throne room and saw Karun standing like a stone statue.
“Karun?”
“sorry.”
Karun knelt with his hand on his chest.
“I disobeyed the orders given by the matriarch. “I will accept any punishment.”
He lowered his head without making any excuse.
“That guy stopped the two apostles who attacked the annex.”
Aris, who followed behind, looked at Karun and waved his hand.
I nodded because I knew this from the video the guy wearing the blue dragon helmet showed me.
“Karun. “You too, come in.”
Glenn gestured to Karun, who was kneeling, and opened the door to the throne room himself.
I had originally planned to praise Karun, but now was not the time.
‘Raon…’
He took heavy steps, thinking of his grandson who went missing without being able to hug him properly.
* * *
In the middle of the night, all Sieghard executives gathered in the throne room.
The only people who are currently not here are Raon and Grandmaster Heavenly Sword, Grandmaster Gwangpung, and Grandmaster Ironjeon, who remained in the Ravel River to search for him.
“Because that pig came too. “Now speak up!”
As soon as Aris returned from external reconnaissance, he pointed at Balder, who had been called in, and furrowed his brow.
“What on earth is going on? You called me without even telling me the circumstances!”
She felt the heavy air coming from Glenn, and her stern expression did not relax.
“Hmm…”
Sylvia also trembled with her hands as if she couldn’t shake off the ominous thoughts.
“Raon lost? “That’s nonsense!”
Balder shook his head, saying it was impossible.
“…Raon won.”
Glenn slowly closed his eyes, opened them, and pursed his lips.
“I knew it would be like that!”
Aris cleared her distorted expression and clapped her hands.
“I can finally hear my aunt! So where is Raon now? “The saint is receiving treatment for his injuries, right?”
She nodded, as if she thought Raon was injured and would not return.
“….”
Glenn looked at Sylvia, not Aris. I bit my molars as I looked at my youngest daughter, who was still trembling with anxiety.
“I will tell you.”
Roen, who had not said a word since returning to the family, stepped forward.
“As the head of the family said, Master Raon won the life-or-death battle against his father, Roman. It was to the point where the king himself admitted defeat. But after that…”
Roen explained to Sieghardt’s executives everything that happened after his death.
“Ah…”
“Si, you’re missing?”
“Wait a minute, if Kang-hwan had been hit directly while stabbed with a sword…”
“Damn it!”
We knew that Oma would move, but Raon’s disappearance was something we could not have imagined, so all of the executives’ eyes widened.
“Ah…”
Sylvia sat down with a complexion as pale as a sheet of paper. Her legs trembled as if her whole body had lost strength.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Aris couldn’t stand it anymore and hit the pillar behind him with his fist. The thick pillar crumbled into white dust.
“You cowardly bastards!”
She made a violent noise as if she was going to attack the North-South alliance at any moment.
“How funny Sieghart must have looked…”
Karun chewed his lip until it bled. Rather than being happy about Raon’s death, he expressed deep anger at Sieghart being ignored.
“Let’s go now!”
Balder stomped his foot and came forward.
“Because I don’t think I can sleep without wiping out all those thieves!”
He also said that he couldn’t stand it and made a dry noise.
“South-North alliance….”
“How dare you baseless bastards!”
“They only do dirty things out of fear that they might be thieves.”
The executives, including Serena, the head of the Public Sword, ground their teeth until they made a sound.
The wave of anger that bloomed from the prosecutors enveloped the entire throne room and calmed the cold early morning air.
“father. what are you doing!”
Aris’ eyes sparkled with a dull light.
“I’m going to go kill those bastards! “Isn’t that why you held the meeting?”
She said to move immediately and put her hand on the sword.
“It’s not possible!”
Denier came forward and shook his head.
“The damage suffered by Sieghardt as a result of this incident is also great. Since the situation is not good, it is better to finish maintenance first and think about it…”
“At what time!”
Aris looked at Denier and lowered her eyebrows.
“We are not the only ones affected by this! The North-South Alliance, Eden, and White Blood Religion are all not normal! If you don’t hit it now, when will you hit it?”
She stepped forward, saying this was her biggest opportunity.
“Besides, it’s your fault that we suffered so much damage! “Why did so many senators die?”
“I’m…sorry about that.”
Denier stopped talking and let out a low breath.
“All the blood demons wearing black robes have master level or higher, and because they were paying attention to the children of Hyeonmujeon, they were delayed in helping the Senate.”
He lowered his head, saying he had no shame.
“However, we need to think deeply about this matter. “If we move hastily, the damage will only increase.”
Denier did not back down even in the face of Aris’ murder and emphasized his opinion.
“That’s true, but…”
“If Ouma gets involved again, the problem will only get bigger.”
“Ha, it’s complicated.”
Several executives also shook their chins in agreement with Denier’s opinion.
“It’s definitely something we need to think deeply about.”
Glenn made eye contact with Denier and lowered his hand to the armrest of the throne.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“father!”
Denier sighed in relief, and Aris rolled her eyes as if she was going to grab Glenn by the collar.
But Glenn’s words weren’t over yet.
“If it were before this life-or-death situation, I would have said that.”
“Go, matriarch?”
“I can’t stand it anymore.”
When Glenn stood up, the golden throne crumbled into powder.
Gooooooo!
No one could open their mouth due to the solemn anger rising from beneath his feet.
“I can’t let that child go like this.”
“Ah…”
It was only after Sylvia heard those words that she raised her head.
The tears in her eyes soaked the red carpet.
“Non-banquet owner. “Declare war on the North-South alliance.”
Glenn gestured to Chad as if he had already made up his mind.
“Sieghard said he would destroy the North-South alliance.”
He gave instructions to prevent other forces from interfering, and clenched his fists so that their tendons would sprout.
“All right.”
Chad beat his chest as if asking for trust and left the throne room.
“Can I go too?”
Karun raised his hand.
“You can increase the punishment as much as you want, so I want to clean up the trash with my own hands.”
He clenched his fist, saying it didn’t matter if he could never get out of Sieghart for the rest of his life.
“Me too…”
Sylvia stood up unsteadily.
“Please take me with you too.”
No more tears flowed from her eyes. What filled the red eyes was not sadness, but a deep flame of resentment.
Glenn looked away, unable to meet Sylvia’s eyes. He had no right to stop his youngest daughter, who was showing both despair and anger at the same time.
“…Do it.”

The next day.
“Hawk, Lord!”
A middle-aged man wearing dark glasses ran into the dimly lit red hall.
He ran quickly and fell, but crawled on his knees and stood in front of the podium.
“Hawk, Lord! The big problem is….”
“Baeksang Chaeju. It’s in front of the guests. “Be self-respectful.”
Dranos, the leader of the North and South, who was sitting on the red platform and lifting a pipe, lightly waved his hand.
“Huh!”
The gaze of a middle-aged man called Baeksangchaeju followed Dranos’ hand.
He swallowed his breath when he saw Tacheon wearing the mask of a handsome young man.
“S-sorry. “It’s urgent…”
“What’s going on?”
Dranos nodded as if asking to speak.
“Sighard has declared war. “They say they will invade tomorrow!”
Baek Sang Chae-ju’s lips trembled as he said that we must prepare for war right now.
“The news is late.”
Dranos laughed and blew out cigarette smoke.
“This friend told me first.”
He pointed at Tacheon and grinned.
“The declaration of war was much quicker than expected. Just as the dragon head said, it seems he cared for Raon Sieghardt very much.”
Dranos put a cigarette in his mouth, remembering Glenn’s angry eyes.
“How much support will you give us this time? “I hope people like Double-Headed Demon and Soul Sword will also move, right?”
“Those two are attached to the Heavenly Demon. There is no guarantee that you will listen to me. But aside from that…”
Tacheon narrowed his eyes at Dranos.
“I don’t think I can help you this time.”
“That… what do you mean?”
Dranos furrowed his brows and leaned his upper body forward.
“Sieghardt refused help from many groups angry at the death of Raon Sieghardt, and declared war only in their own name.”
Tacheon raised his uninjured hand.
“For us to intervene when Sieghart does not receive support from the other Six Emperors is an act that will destroy Ouma’s prestige.”
“No matter how much it is….”
“Actually, the bigger problem is the other six emperors.”
A bluish map of the continents floated above his fingers.
“He said that if Oma moves, he will participate in the war between the Owen Kingdom and Balkardo. Chamber and Lecross declared in the name of the Sixth Emperor.”
Tacheon twisted his mouth as he pointed to a place full of forests.
“Raon Sieghart is also friendly with elves, so he might even move to Seifia.”
“Ugh….”
“The Holy Swordsman and Black Tower said they would withdraw from this matter, so we are in a situation where we are being pushed back a lot, whether in terms of power or justification.”
He erased the continental mission, saying it would be better for the North-South Alliance and Sieghardt to go to war.
“But it doesn’t mean we have no chance of winning. “Glenn Sieghardt has suffered internal injuries, so he will not be as close to invincible as before.”
“Even if Glenn suffers an internal injury and the North and South Alliance are a natural fortress, it is impossible to stop Sieghart!”
Dranos threw away his cigarette pipe, saying that he could not stop Sieghardt with the North-South alliance alone.
“is it so. It will be hard to win. But…”
Tacheon rolled his transparent eyes.
“Isn’t there one person among us who can move without being seen?”
“He can’t even contact me…”
“Don’t worry. “When I read the heavenly records, I pictured the biggest star falling sooner or later.”
He smiled softly as he looked at the stars shining on the ceiling.
“Under the name of Dranos, a huge star called Glenn Sieghart will sink.”
“Under my name…”
The color of desire appeared in Dranos’ eyes as he heard Tacheon’s low voice.
* * *
Upstream of the Label River.
Dozens of battleships advance through the river with batteries set up in front.
Dranos, the leader of the North and South Korea, appeared on the bow of the first battleship Cheongrang, the first battleship of the North and South Korea, breaking through the waves in front.
On the other side of the river, ten battleships and one pirate ship emerged. Standing on the deck of the pirate ship, Glenn Sieghart placed his hand on the Jincheon Sword.
“Do we really have to do this?”
Dranos shook his head as if he felt sorry.
“Maybe there’s a way to solve it with words?”
“You are the ones who crossed the line.”
Glenn pulled out his Jincheon sword and let out a heated breath.
“I will erase the very existence of the North-South alliance.”
“You got caught wrong. “I was so deceived.”
Dranos furrowed his brows and stretched out his hand. Haeryeongchang, an ancient weapon made of river water, was caught in his hands.
Gooooooo!
Glenn lowered his Jincheon sword. A quietly sinking line separated the sky and the river.
It was a grand sword strike that seemed to tear apart the battleships of the North and South Alliance with a single sword strike.
Cheeeeee!
Dranos grabbed the end of the spear and raised the spear. As if drawing out ink with a brush, young energy brought a huge tidal wave to Changgeuk.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!
Glenn’s sword strike and Dranos’ spear strike collided, causing the river and the earth to float upside down.
As if nature was angry, a storm of auras came from all directions.
“Kill the hypocrites of Sieghardt!”
“Shoot with artillery and bows so they can’t get close!”
“The owner of this river and mountain is the North and South alliance!”
The soldiers of the North and South alliance fired guns, arrows, and harpoons at the Sieghardt prosecutors.
“Kill the rootless thieves!”
“Never back down!”
“Avenge the Great Lord of Gwangpung!”
Sieghardt’s swordsmen did not care even if artillery fire and arrows were flying at them and just continued to charge. The intention was to engage in hand-to-hand combat rather than a water battle, which was more advantageous for them.
As the swordsmen kicked off the deck and the river water and tried to move towards the warship of the North and South Alliance, a golden flash flashed across the river water.
Whoa!
A blonde female swordsman, moving at a speed that even the wind could not keep up with, climbed onto the battleship on the far left.
Sigh!
The sea-green aura burning from her sword spread out like a wave, simultaneously decapitating dozens of enemies on deck.
“Get out of the way! “I’ll handle it!”
Lucan, the owner of the battleship, grabbed his ax and rushed at the female swordsman. A red-hot river surged like lava above his axe.
Teuong!
The female swordsman did not back down, but plunged into the strong fire and swung her sword. The strong energy contained in the sword was condensed into a strong ring and caused a huge explosion.
Wow!
The entire deck of the battleship collapsed, and the pirates on board collapsed, vomiting blood.
Coo coo coo coo!
The battleship itself split in half and began to sink.
“Where are you?…”
The blonde female swordsman, Sylvia Sieghardt, let out a cool breath and looked away.
“Beorn!”
Her eyes flashed blood red as she searched for her enemy.
