Incompatible Interspecies Wives chapter 147

147 – The End of the War (3)

Early morning.

Shien was praying the same way today.

I did not pay attention to the sounds made by various soldiers of various races.

Her nerves were concentrated in only one place.

The end of the war.

She was gradually feeling with her own skin that everything was coming to an end.

The more she said, the more she prayed.

I had long since put aside my faith in Hea, the god of purity, but I needed that strength right now.

Only if she effectively supports her colleagues will she be able to end the Demon King’s life.

And only if I do that, can I be compensated for all the pain I have endured over the past seven years.

Safety of Berg.

I ran so hard for that. Even though I was abandoned, I was moving forward.

Of course… We will try again after the war.

Everything that made up her still consisted of memories with Berg.

It wasn’t a matter of giving up or not.

In order for her to be who she is, Berg had to be there.

‘…Lady.’

Sien prayed the same prayer repeatedly and prayed for everyone’s safety.

Although her prayers for Berg were not as great, she also endlessly hoped for the safety of her colleagues.

“Saint!”

Shien was praying and turned around when she heard a voice calling her.

Silprien was standing there.

Unlike usual, there was tension in the air.

It was probably because he knew that war would break out soon.

Silfrien smiled as if to ease the tension a little.

“…Saint, let’s go now.”

“…”

“…It’s meal time.”

Shien and Silfrien approached the space where everyone was gathered.

We hadn’t prepared anything like a table.

The king who was on an expedition, the heads of the great families, Felix and Akran, like the rest of the soldiers, were sitting on suitable objects and eating food from small bowls.

It was a sight that could never be seen under normal circumstances, but as all of these plans were carried out secretly and quickly, it seemed like situations like this were happening.

All the gathered families just lightened their burdens and ran. Anyway, this war was a war of speed.

It was an unwinnable fight if it dragged on for too long.

The king welcomed Silprien and Sien as they approached.

Even though he was the king, he nodded his head slightly and greeted me first.

Silfrien and Shien similarly bowed slightly and responded to his greeting.

“Let’s fill our bellies. War will break out soon.”

The king, wearing all his armor, proposed.

With his words, several soldiers came out carrying food for Silfrien and Sien.

The soldier who was about to hand Shien a bowl of food hesitates.

“…Please put it on the floor.”

Shien asked for that familiar action.

There was nothing we could do because we were not allowed to accidentally touch each other.

-Sigh.

Shien immediately picked up the bowl from the floor.

As the bowl was placed on the ground, a little bit of dirt got into the food, making it light, but she couldn’t help it.

In the first place, she didn’t care what the food was like.

She didn’t even care about eating delicious food or dressing nicely.

All of these things were unnecessary without Berg by my side.

Sien filled her stomach and looked at her king and her companion Felix.

The two were having a conversation about war strategy.

While chewing the food that wouldn’t go down, Shien tried to focus on the information.

“…We have to see the end quickly. “I’m even thinking about a plan to retreat.”

“…Isn’t this a defeat?”

“…But I can’t help it.”

“…”

“Incentives are not allowed. It is most effective to simply fight head to head. It is difficult for even the devil to find fault with this strategy.”

“It’s a counter-fight strategy. “There aren’t that many troops prepared…”

“…I have no choice. “The advantage of a surprise attack lies in the fact that the Demon King’s right hand man is not around.”

“…”

“By the way, did Master go to stop the Demon King’s right arm?”

The teacher the hero referred to was Gale.

“Gale and the Red Flame Dan went.”

-Too-duk!

At that, Shien let go of her bowl and spoon.

Wooden dishes were lying on the dirt floor.

Felix looked at Shien at the sound, but the king maintained a calm expression.

Shien knew that he had to swallow his words here.

Although she is said to have lived as a saint, she was a commoner.

I couldn’t raise my voice recklessly to the king of a country.

…But I couldn’t stand my voice.

No matter how different his social status may be, he couldn’t help asking as a person.

“…Can you… Say that again?”

Only then did the king turn his head and look at Shien.

He calmly continued his words.

“…I just sent the most likely being, saintess.”

“Why…The Red Flame Dan…”

As always, the king treated Shien with his own respect.

“Among the current mercenaries, the Red Flames are reputed to be the fastest and strongest. Also, there are two candidates for Rin’s fighter in the Red Flame Team. “There is no one more worthy than him.”

“…”

“…War is not a fight for love. “When emotions are mixed, many lives are sacrificed in return.”

“…Well…If the Red Flames are annihilated…”

“It is better than the destruction of the kingdom. “If I could win the war by sacrificing the Red Flames, I would make the same choice a hundred times over.”

“…….”

Although the saintess knew that the king was right, she could not figure out what this uncomfortable feeling was.

My heart is pounding like it’s going to explode when I hear that Berg is going to fight with Krund, the devil’s right hand man.

Sien had also experienced Krund’s power.

Even Felix would be defeated if he fought alone.

Felix has said many times that Krund may be the strongest through pure force alone.

That’s why, when Krund left the Demon King’s side, he took the opportunity like this.

Since Cien was unable to pick up the food he had fallen on and stood still as if in despair, he began to look at Cien’s eyes one by one.

In fact, among God’s blessings, the one that had the greatest impact was Shien’s blessing.

Her power to instantly heal even a soldier whose life was in danger was more important than anyone else’s.

Seeing Shien standing still like that, the King said.

“…Saint.”

“…”

Shien looked at the king. Powerless eyes stare at the king.

“…Let’s deal with the Demon King quickly and go rescue the Red Flame Dan.”

“…”

Shien was trying to swallow her words again… Her heart suddenly burst into tears.

In the first place, if Berg ever went wrong, she no longer had any lingering feelings about her world.

I could have given an immediate warning to that fear.

“…If.”

“…”

“…If Berg dies.”

“…”

“…Even His Majesty the King will never forgive me.”

“…”

The king calmly nodded his head at those words.

He seems to understand all of the saintess’ anger.

“…I understand.”

****

“…”

“…Batra.”

Adam whispered as he looked at the great city.

I don’t know how long he’s been back here.

After parting with Xian and holding Adam hyung’s hand… It’s a place I haven’t been to twice.

The scenery here after 7 years has been quite different.

Looks like Bartra has suffered a lot too.

Here and there are ruins.

I can see the traces of the boss, so it’s natural here, but it seems that the war was not avoided.

Our Red Flame Team was located in the forest with a view of Batra.

I tried to search around only for the location of Krund, the right hand of the demon king.

The red flames were scattered all over the forest around Batra.

Those who witnessed Krund first decided to send a signal.

I heard from Gail that instead of Krund’s body being similar to ours, the entire body is purple.

His arms are covered with scales, and on his head are horns that are bigger than those of the dragon race.

Of course, it wasn’t easy to find that being in a forest like this, but when Krund started attacking Batra, he couldn’t help but want to know.

Gail said from the side.

“When the war begins, Silfrien’s bird decided to send a signal.”

“…”

“Let’s just look at the sky.”

Seeing Adam nodding his head, I walked away for a moment.

I approach my leader group who has set up the site.

They were digesting the calm just before war in their own way.

Some prayed to Diane, the god of war, while others fiddled with something their family members might have given them.

Some people relaxed by lightly swinging their swords, while others tried to sleep.

I sit next to them.

At the same time, close your eyes and imagine peace.

The time passed so slowly.

.

.

.

“…”

How much time has passed like that?

-Beep-beep… Beep-beep…

At the sound of a hawk coming from afar, the entire Hongyeomdan is born.

Everyone knew what that signal was after Gale mentioned it.

Looking up at the evening sky, we soon spotted Silfrien’s Hawk.

A hawk, loudly crying with all its might, was telling us a story.

The final war has begun.

The hero and his party started fighting the devil.

…Shiendo, they will be fighting now.

Everyone gets up from their seats, regardless of who goes first.

There was no signal from among the Red Flames.

Krund hadn’t found it yet.

Nevertheless, the body begins to shine.

I wonder if Krund will appear in the near future.

“…Over there…!”

Then, as expected, a fiery arrow began to shoot up into the sky from afar.

It was a signal sent to us by the scattered Red Flame members.

I found Krund.

Brother Adam sees the signal and gives an order in an instant.

“All ready for battle!”

The Red Flame Dan members raised all their horses that had been secretly lying down.

Well-trained horses open their mouths vigorously and stand up from their seats.

Like Adam, I raised my horse and prepared to leave the forest.

The preparations were completed in no time.

Brother Adam also got on the horse and faced me.

“…”

“…”

A silent conversation takes place through eyes.

My brother looked at me like that and nodded, and I also looked at Adam and nodded.

“Let’s go!”

At the same time as his brother commanded, Paran blew his horn.

All the members who were staying in the forest ran towards the plain in front of Batra as one.

Nevertheless, he continued to watch the direction from which the fiery arrows shot out.

If there was something peculiar… It was that the group of monsters that we should normally see were not visible.

“…What is that?”

Holding the horse, Sean muttered from the side.

Gail also looked in that direction and whispered in a low voice.

“….Krund.”

A being called Krundra was galloping across the plains alone.

Krund is running in the direction where the demon king is fighting.

Like a wild animal, it stands on the ground with all four feet.

Since the body itself was similar in size to ours, the fact that it looks rather like a small animal stimulates a strange sense of alertness.

No matter how you look at it, it seems unlikely that a fight between hundreds of Red Flames and one Krund will work… This mission was said to be the most dangerous of all the missions we have undertaken.

Adam hyung wasn’t attracted to that appearance.

“Arrows ready!”

As soon as he commands, hundreds of trained members of the Red Flame Team pull out their bows in unison.

“Fire!”

A rain of black arrows filling the sky began pouring down towards Krund.

I saw that Krund’s head turned when he finally noticed our existence.

-Boom!

And at the same time as the earth-shaking roar, the ground vibrates.

Soon, hundreds of monsters rose from the ground all at once and began to protect Krund.

The ground turns upside down.

The ranks of the Red Flame Team collapsed in an instant.

The surprised horses and crew lost their senses.

It was the same with Baran.

“…Uh.”

He stumbles upon the horse in an instant, momentarily loses the reins.

My body began to lean between the running horses.

-Tuck!

I grabbed Baran’s shoulder and supported him as he almost fell.

“…Vice-captain…!”

Before Baran could come to his senses and express his gratitude, I snatched the horn from his waist.

-Buuuuu!! Woo Woo Woo Woo!!

Then he blew his horn with all his might.

The sound of our horn echoes among the cries of hundreds of monsters.

From noble mtl dot com

The ranks that had been scattered by that familiar sound returned to their original form.

Even horses calm down to that sound.

Brother Adam looks at me from the corner of his eye for a moment and gives a short thank you.

And then he shouted.

“No different from usual! Treat Krund like a boss! Kill the monsters around you first! Don’t overdo it! “If we just take the time, we will win!”

Adam’s thunderous voice pierces through various sounds and resonates.

-Grumbling!

The sword drawn by Adam reflected the light.

“This is the end!! Fight!!”

And so the battle begins.

****

Arwin was staring blankly at the direction Berg had left.

It wouldn’t appear that he was looking at him, but he couldn’t take his eyes off him.

Even though the sunset was setting and night was starting to come, she was only looking in that direction.

The news that the war with the Demon King had begun was resonating everywhere.

Perhaps the red flames were also fighting the demon king’s right arm.

At the same time, news related to the warriors’ party was also heard one by one.

Some news came through letters, and some news came through Arwin’s birds.

It was said that a huge number of casualties were already taking place.

It was said that a battle more fierce than that had never happened before.

The women of Stockpin who came to that story gathered in one space and comforted each other.

…The words were exhausting, but it was no different than a sea of tears.

Only Arwin got out of there and was looking in the direction Berg had left.

I was finally realizing the emotions I hadn’t digested during the sudden expedition.

I am more afraid and worried now than when Berg left.

I am nervous and anxious.

It was all the more so since Berg, who had been supporting him, was not by his side.

In his hand, he was holding the world tree leaf of Berg.

The blood circulated faster throughout my body because of the anxiety.

“…”

The more Arwin remembered Berg’s promise, the more he took her heart.

He promised to return.

Berg has never broken any promises or covenants.

I have always kept the word that I will protect myself for the rest of my life, and that I will treat you with care.

So, of course, I would keep the word that I would return.

…But I imagine the moment that never comes back.

I think of Berg, who has cooled down and returned without opening his eyes.

-Cow wow…

Arwin’s heart tightened in pain just by imagining it.

He seemed incomparable to the pain of having his life force taken away by the roots of the World Tree.

The more this happened, the more she realized.

In recent months, she hadn’t separated from Berg, so she had become dull.

It’s only after he leaves for a while like this…I realize the importance of it all the more.

Tears are forming.

She didn’t even think that this would bring her to tears, but her body couldn’t help but react.

“….Berg.”

She looked in the direction Berg had left and whispered, suppressing her tears.

“…I… Am now ready to make a covenant.”

Now I can promise Berg my whole life.

I cannot feel more certain than this.

She could promise that she loved Bergman and that she would sacrifice herself for him.

Ner will also leave, and now we will just have to live together.

For hundreds of years, we will be able to live thinking only of each other.

There was only one step left to that sweet future.

A drop of tear rolls down my cheek from an anxious heart.

“…So come back.”

Arwin whispered as she kissed the leaf of Berg’s World Tree in her hand.

“…Please come back safely, Berg…”

– Profit.

I don’t know if the leaves of the world tree are slightly cracked.
