Episode. IL.36 Plague Giant (3)
Silence fell in the conference hall.
The king’s remarks were shocking.
prot kingdom.
A country called the shield of the North Continent along with Baren.
But now it’s all a thing of the past.
Today, the Prot kingdom has turned its eyes away from the difficult situation of Baren, and even cut off a hand to ask for help.
They even closed the door to the country and cut off all exchanges.
How much betrayal Baren felt at that.
The faces of the nobles slowly began to harden.
“Ah, please reconsider. majesty!”
A relatively young noble broke the silence and shouted.
The king’s gaze turned to him.
“The Prot Kingdom has already broken the pact. Don’t you know how much despair we and the people of Baren had to fall into in despair at their immaturity? It is not right to share the light with them!”
The young aristocrat began to recite the pact between the two kingdoms, which had already withered away.
To put it simply, if Baren Kingdom is the southernmost country in the Northern Continent and prepares for an attack from the Southern Continent, the Prot Kingdom will actively help Baren in an emergency as an ally.
The relationship between the lips and teeth.
The relationship between the two countries, which began because of mutual understanding, was completely severed after the occurrence of the Magi.
“you’re right! The pact that had lasted for generations has already ended. The Prot Kingdom only coveted the privileges they enjoyed as Baren’s allies, and they are unwilling to bear responsibility and obligations!”
Others agreed with the young nobleman’s words.
Even aristocrats who usually belonged to the moderate faction denounced Prot’s behavior.
“… … .”
The king closed his eyes without speaking.
It was not that he did not understand the originality of the aristocrats.
In fact, the one who despaired the most when he saw his friend turned away was none other than the king himself.
“How can you be okay with being a burden?”
Soon the king mumbled.
The voice was lamented.
“But we need their help. That fact remains unchanged.”
Currently, most of the available military power in Baren is fighting over and over again in Rio Castle.
The situation in the country was not good enough to bear all that material and burden.
“The cause of the prot kingdom losing its former spirit and shrinking is Magi, who swallowed the entire continent. Friendships that have been briefly shattered will be rekindled if we facilitate them to overcome their own darkness.”
The King has struggled with it several times.
How can I survive this cold winter?
In the end, after much thought, there was only one conclusion.
“Form an envoy. I will appoint the Marquis of Trantis as the head of the delegation.”
“I will follow your command.”
The Marquis, who had been silent all along, bowed his head and accepted the order.
The nobles said nothing to him.
It seemed that the inner thoughts of the loyal servants could be heard in the ears of the king who had made the decision.
Selfishness, or regret, knowing that there is no other way to do it, but having to give up what is in hand.
The people gathered here were not saints, so it was a natural reaction.
“At least… … At least you shouldn’t give them the light.”
At that time, the young aristocrat who had first expressed concern stepped forward.
“What they don’t have, what we have. That’s Hor. It is a very desperate light for the Prot Kingdom. So, before they promise to actively support and pay compensation for breach of contract… … .”
thud!
The old king slammed the armrest.
“How is it that Hor is ours? How the hell are you referring to Horror as mere negotiations?”
King Barentis’ voice was calm.
However, there was a sharpness in it that severely criticized the young nobleman.
“Prince Richard endured our distrust and delivered the light. But how can we, who have been blessed by his mercy, take Hor’s light as our own and ask for a reward?”
“… … .”
“The Prot Kingdom is also just hoping. May the demonic energy be lifted as soon as possible, and may the dark night pass.”
Whoa-
The king took a deep breath and spoke again.
“That is the earnest wish of our allies, and it will be Hor. In addition, goodbye to our Hor and Baren. There will be no shortage of each other to fulfill each other’s wishes.”
◈ ◈ ◈
In Rio Castle, as usual, a loud song was resonating.
“Good.”
Richard smiled with satisfaction.
Was it because he had gone through a battle once, or because he had seen the miracle called Heavenly Punishment?
Wongun’s voice was full of sacred tones. It must have been a hymn sung by those who sincerely believed in God.
Suddenly, Richard remembered Rapture.
There were no orcs who were making noise in the castle by calling out to Mary every time, so somehow it felt a bit empty.
Do you want to go well?
He muttered and looked up at the sky.
I want to take a look at the rapture’s journey through Shinan, but the side effects of the punishment have not gone away.
His body was full of faith, but since he didn’t move at all, it reminded him of a time when he suffered from mana insensitivity.
“Hmm.”
Richard recalled the power of the divine punishment.
It was still too much power.
There was enough faith to perform miracles, but since the subject of the power was only a low-level deity, there were bound to be side effects.
‘I feel like my growth has been stagnant lately.’
The Hoor religion itself was growing at a terrifying pace, but the level of divinity was still at a low level.
The achievement of the Sword Saint was still only two.
You’ll have to get to your sack as soon as possible so you can see Balak.
Unknowingly, I was impatient.
It was when he was so lost in thought.
Zeke, drenched in sweat, approached with a very refreshed expression.
From noble mtl dot com
“Richard! Wouldn’t you like to train too? Are you stagnant if you just play every day?”
“… … As soon as I see it, it stabs me where it hurts.”
Richard frowned.
“If you’re bored, how about sparring?”
In the meantime, Zeke made a suggestion that was quite tempting.
However, Richard firmly shook his head.
“Dalian is not good.”
The swordsman inherited by Richard only grows when he overcomes its limits.
A lukewarm sparring could not be achieved.
“Hmm, then I guess I’ll have to look after Moritz later. Oh, by the way… … .”
Zeke suddenly put on a serious expression.
“What the hell are you up to?”
“Oh, that? Do you understand now?”
He came to know the destination of the rapture that he left a while ago.
“I didn’t expect it to be a Titan.”
The land of the barbarian warriors barely blocked by Battenberg’s reign over the North Continent.
If something happened to the bomb-like country, Battenberg had to step in.
Zeke asked in a serious voice.
“Why did you send your colleague there?”
Richard just smiled single-single.
That smile was so holy that it pierced him, and Zeke couldn’t even press it.
“don’t worry. Titan’s warriors won’t run amok. An orc is going to an orc country, so it’s so strange.”
“… … You’re not an ordinary orc, are you?”
A paladin orc who serves the god Hor.
If, very if, Horrism spreads across Titan… … .
Zeke’s eyes shook as he thought to that point.
“The King of Titans is the number one opponent Orcs want to defeat, and the object of respect they want to emulate.”
After saying that, Richard burst into laughter as if he was looking forward to it.
Horgyo finally starts to give birth in various places.
The future looked very promising.
◈ ◈ ◈
The fortress of the Magic Union was also attacked by the 3rd generation plague.
“her… … .”
The members of the alliance breathed in vain behind the thick barrier.
There was a mixture of weariness and awe on his face.
“Marx… … A great family, too.”
“They were obviously even more heinous than before… … .”
They looked around the fort.
Right in front of the barrier, the monsters were falling into fragments and rolling around on the ground, and traces of intense magic remained as craters here and there.
“Four, there are no dead or injured.”
The Magic Alliance expected this battle to be more challenging than ever.
When he saw the Red Plague Giants with his own two eyes, he remembered the defeat of the Alliance.
But that wasn’t it.
“Disgusting. It’s a very disgusting energy.”
Among the group of people who killed all the giants and monsters and led the alliance to victory, the boy standing at the front muttered.
“Brother Alan. Magic is flowing in. to the back… … .”
“joy. It became.”
At the adjutant’s words, Alan waved his hand.
His eyes scanned the corpses of monsters beyond the barrier.
An unpleasant stench mingled with each breath.
“Kuk!”
Alan grabbed his chest at the sudden pain.
The demonic energy that had sunk into the depths of Hor’s light began to boil within the body.
Kwak-
The pain subsided as I gripped the staff blessed by Hor.
“… … It’s a place I really don’t like.”
Maybe it’s because the memories of getting hit by Richie come to mind.
Frost settled on Alan’s face.
On the contrary, huge magic power shook over that small body.
“These annoying demons, and the stinking crazy ones. As for the miscellaneous goods of the north… … I don’t like them all.”
“young master?”
The wizards, including the adjutant, threw a questioning gaze. Still, Alan’s murmur did not stop.
“Hor. Horsi. Please watch over me.”
The air shuddered around Alan, who bowed his head.
It was only natural that everyone’s attention was focused on the sudden strange behavior.
“I am your only saint. Only I can be with you. Horsi.”
Hearing a voice whispering in his ear, Maru grabbed his head from behind.
“I’m crazy. Was it excited because of the demon crouching inside her body… … .”
For a saint, he looked really unstable.
It looks like it’s going to explode at any moment.
It was when Marr tried to calm him down.
Alan raised his wand high into the sky.
Paaa-!
The light of faith radiated from there.
“omg!”
“What is that… … ?”
The wizards, who faced the light without knowing why, reflexively covered their eyes.
But even that was short-lived.
“Ahhh… … !”
The energy of faith they felt for the first time in their lives was enough to soothe their tired minds and bodies.
However, not everyone could welcome the light.
“Keuk!”
“It’s hot!”
Some of the wizards exposed to the light complained of pain.
Smoke rose from that skinny body.
A completely different reaction from others.
Alan’s gaze slowly turned to them.
“… … found. The renegade guys.”
Joo Wook-
The corners of his mouth were savagely torn.
