Cowardly
Leon mobilized all the wizards of Veritas to spread the camp.
Under the current circumstances, there was only one unit that invaded across the border, but it was correct to see that the entire campaign was spread out in all directions.
Before the magic batteries that Emperor Feirn worked so hard to install at the border did their job, the frontier opened the gates to the enemy country wide and welcomed them, allowing bloodless entry.
There is no law that such a situation will not happen in other territories.
No, it wasn’t just the borders to watch out for.
All the nobles who own the land should be careful.
Literally, we have to consider the situation in which the enemy’s army enters through the free pass by opening all the roads from the border to the imperial castle.
It doesn’t matter if the capital of the Philo Empire is captured, but the problem was the ordinary soldiers who would shed blood in the process, and the soldiers of the enemy countries who would commit crimes taking advantage of the chaotic conditions of the war.
Because I only wanted to prevent the situation where the people of my country were bled by them.
Therefore, it is necessary to defeat the enemy forces that have invaded the country even more quickly.
So Leon mobilized 50,000 Reeves wizards and 90 Titans.
Of course, there were also Pinas Evergreen, Queen of the Forest, Ailee on Prometheus, Zeke on Hercules, Veronica and Arya, and Berseria.
Olivia and Cindy made a riot to support Leon, but if the Millennium Empire and the Holy Empire intervene here, the true power of Leon, Philo Empire, and the Demon Kingdom Veritas will be further hidden.
With the support of the two empires, it is said that it is natural to win the war.
The purpose here was to show the true face of Veritas that the world still does not know well by overcoming it only with the power of the Philo Empire.
Although they were frustrated by Leon’s explanation, they nodded their heads in agreement to understand.
The most surprising thing was that none other than Arya’s biological father, Marquis Libert Vince Rothbane, the blue magic lord, was with Arya.
Leon asked Arya the true meaning of Marquis Libert, but
“I don’t even know why he changed his mind……”
Arya replied that way with a somewhat dismayed expression.
Could a person who is heartless enough to give his own daughter an education that is close to torture has now awakened to the love of blood and blood?
Or was he not interested in the title of nobility from the beginning?
It was difficult for Leon to grasp his true meaning.
So I asked myself.
“What the hell is your purpose?”
“What is the purpose? I don’t know the intent of the question.”
“Isn’t the Rothbane Magic Family the most important thing to you? Do you know that if I succeed to the throne of the Philo Empire, the legacy of that family will be cut off?”
The reason why Marquis Libert had no choice but to give Arya an education such as torture.
It was for the revival of the family, which started out of a competition with the Farostel magic family.
However, for some reason, he did not readily come up with an answer.
“To be honest, I don’t even know.”
“I beg your pardon?”
In response, Leon somehow felt his blood boil more than necessary.
He had taken a tough attitude enough to sacrifice her for the revival of the family, but now he says, ‘I don’t know’.
“I know. You’re going to want to criticize me for what I did to Arya. There’s no excuse for him. I lost my wife and I was angry with the child. The reason his wife died is because of the child. And I thought that the only thing left for me was the family. So, using that child to revive the family is very natural.”
Then, for some reason, with a more wrinkled expression, Libert looked at the wall in the distance.
He was expressionless, but Leon somehow seemed to hold back his tears.
It’s as if he doesn’t deserve to cry here.
and realized
‘Certainly, Arya is this man’s daughter.’
The reason Leon could read his expression from his expressionless expression was simple.
It was because he resembled Arya.
No, to be precise, Arya would resemble him.
“But as I watched the Parostel magic family collapse in vain, I felt something was wrong. I always thought that what I always wanted was to put the Rothbane mage on a higher place than Parostel, but I realized that it wasn’t.”
“I will ask you again. Then what the hell is the purpose?”
“I remember the reason why I was trying to revive the family in the first place. my wife. He must have been determined to take care of this family, which is her home, only for her sake…”
All of a sudden, revitalizing his family was no longer a means, but an end.
“Do you know the meaning of the nest?”
In the Radiant Continental language, nest also means a place of life, but its etymology means a bird’s nest.
in other words,
“I guess you want to say, “The place where the eggs are incubated……. Ah yes. I know. It’s too late, but now I know. The child realized later that Arya was the last thing my wife left behind. That’s how blind I was in anger and sadness.”
Then, the wrinkles around his eyes increased several times.
Now anyone could see that he was holding back his tears.
“Not long ago, the boy told me. All he wanted was a hint of warmth.”
At first, what Arya wanted was ‘father’s warmth’.
That is why Arya was able to obey her family and her father’s orders while suffering so much.
But Libert couldn’t give it to her.
It was none other than Leon who gave her warmth on his behalf.
“I am grateful for you. Because I gave him what I didn’t give him. It’s too late, I don’t think I can be forgiven, but even now I…”
He stopped talking and shook his head.
“No, no. Even saying such a thing would be too much for me. I don’t know either. Why am I doing this? What is the purpose?”
As far as saying this, what he wanted to say was already decided.
expiation.
From now on, I will act for her.
But it’s too late, it’s a sin, and it’s impossible to even create and spit it out in the form of language.
“Bitch. Selfish bastard.”
Libert lowered his head at Leon’s words.
He couldn’t find any more words to respond to the accusation.
But Leon continued to spit accusations.
“Do you think it’s over if you say that you have no intention of atonement and forgiveness? Are you going to end it all on your own with self-satisfaction? If you really feel guilty about what you have done so far, put that guilt into shape.”
Libert shuddered at those words.
“Don’t rot inside yourself like a coward, express yourself in words. Apologize to Arya. Forgive you or not, it’s Arya’s choice. Don’t even think about getting rid of it by rotting it alone because it can’t be forgiven anyway, or because it’s painful to have that sin take shape.”
Only after hearing those words did Libert realize that his actions were cowardly.
It was only later that he realized that being unable to put it into words because he was sinful meant that he would not make sin into a form because he was suffering.
“How come, you seem to be more mature than me. okay. That would be it. Only then will I apologize to that child when this war is over.”
The conversation with Libert ended there.
There were more things I wanted to say to tell you my true feelings, but those are the words that Arya, not Leon, should say.
He thought that what Arya was going to say was not what he was saying here, so he shortened his words.
And after the formation of the troops, the march finally began.
The leader was none other than the 90 Titans.
The 10 Titan models, Zeus, raised their hands at once and started shooting the spear of the gods.
and flying spears.
A divine spear with the same power as that of Zeus was flying from the magic battery installed on the wall.
But the number is different.
The magic battery installed at the border consists of a spear of the gods, one in every direction, and the rest consists of railguns.
At the most, there are only three divine spears that can aim and shoot at this.
On the other hand, this is the spear of the 10 gods.
He was also riding on a plane that could control magic more precisely than the magic battery called Titan.
While the spears of the gods collided with each other and scattered electric currents in all directions, the remaining seven spears of the gods penetrated the aftermath of the explosion and reached the wall.
Doo-doo!
but couldn’t see through.
Fairn’s push was the cause of the fact that a solid defense wall was installed with a magic circle filled with encrypted manastones installed at each border.
But it doesn’t matter.
Leon, who accelerated even faster than the Titan sprinting at full speed, even faster than light, collided with the barrier.
However, Leon broke the barrier with magic, not just physical force.
“Beyond Dimension.”
It is none other than the Lint Crystal installed in the Encryption Manastone Charging Magic Circle that supplies magical power to the barrier.
Then, in a broader concept, it can be said that this barrier and the lint crystal are quantumly intertwined with each other.
Then, touching this defensive wall means the same as touching that lint crystal.
Let’s reach out and grab it,
quick.
Wave window!
With the sound of something breaking, the barrier was removed, and the magic battery, which was preparing to fire again, lowered its head helplessly.
And finally, the Titans who reached the wall vigorously swung the Titan Sword with the Arc Blade engraved on it.
The castle walls were enchanted with structural strengthening magic by a manastone installed separately from the lint crystal, but
Ssaak——.
In front of the power of the single-molecule cutter, the fortress wall was even softer than tofu.
And innumerable magic pouring towards the Titan.
The elders of Matop, who had fled from the Philo Empire to the Panim Kingdom, and the wizards of the Panim Kingdom, which had secured an explosively increased population over the past 100 years, ejected the magic they had been preparing in advance.
But,
Whoops——!
Fabababang——!
That magic baptism exploded in vain at the beckoning of the titan’s lightly swung.
The pilots who specialized in order magic were at the forefront of the 80 Titans, controlling the entropy of the pouring magic and canceling all their powers.
Because the number of magic was so large, it was not possible to return them as they were.
Even two Titans suffered serious damage to their left arm, but again, that’s all.
It was a blow of conversion that many wizards spent a lot of time preparing for casting, but not even a single titan could be destroyed.
The titans take a giant step towards the terrified wizards.
Among them, there were those who used artifacts to develop magic without casting,
Woo Ji-Jik.
In front of the giant of metal, humans were trampled and exploded like ripe cherry tomatoes.
Even in the sight of the massacre, Leon kept his composure.
It wasn’t the pyramids that Leon had to deal with.
He spreads a wave of magic to search for wizards with circles.
In the meantime, the number of 8-Circle Wizards that have been passed down through the ages is a whopping 10.
Among them, there must have been a mixture of galmatap wine and green maktamap wine, which had fled from the Philo Empire.
But Leon turned his back on them too.
A magician like that was determined to be able to subdue the Titans if they were capable enough.
and at that moment,
“You finally showed up.”
A sorcerer, covered in ragged robes, with an unpleasant stench, rose to Leon.
“Howdy. Long time no see.”
And he took off the hood he had been wearing deeply.
“you······?”
And that opponent was a person that Leon knew well.
