Episode 119 – Silence is a Prelude to Tragedy
#One
What do people think of ‘a dense forest’?
Each person’s experience is different and everyone will be different.
At least here, on the edge of the empire, those who live here will think of the Biltite Forest as a dense forest.
Vision as dark as night limited action, and the half-muddy floor prevented the moisture from evaporating from evaporating.
Boots made of iron became heavy.
The bugs that landed on the cloak stole his gaze.
‘As expected, when I come home, I’m a high school student.’
Manus wrapped around mana to protect himself as much as possible and was ready to cast magic at any time.
The guide was guiding well.
[Dux], left on just in case, led him in the same direction as the guide.
No one spoke and focused only on the surrounding sounds.
Traps and bugs that can pop out from under your feet.
Beasts and monsters that will attack from behind the giant leaves.
I had to prepare for the enemy attack to fall from the tree.
‘Is the village still there?’
The march was rough, but no one complained.
The clock, so terrible that even the sense of time was paralyzed, slowed down my steps.
Sssss-.
My nerves became more and more sensitive, and I began to react to even the slightest sound.
how long did it take
The guide stopped on the way in a small clearing.
It was a place where you could see traces of people staying here and there.
A faint light came from the sky.
As if it was only safe there.
The guide left the backpack and said quietly.
“This is a safe zone. This is where the surrounding ecosystem is at its most placid. Please rest here.”
Tyrannis looked around and nodded.
As if the others were relieved, the tight tension was released.
Manus looked at the guide once, then at the dim light [Dux] was pointing at.
It was a very strange thing.
Obviously, the best guide says to take a rest here, but the light that guides him wants to go farther.
Looking at the relaxed soldiers, Manus widened his senses.
‘There’s nothing wrong with it. But why does the system tell me to go further?’
“Gongja. Here, have some water.”
“Thank you.”
I drank water and quenched my throat.
It feels like replenishment of moisture that has leaked out gently.
My head was clear, and thanks to that, my field of vision also widened.
‘Once properly… … .’
He sat in the center and began to play with unprecedented mana.
A stream of mana flowing like a raging waterfall in a calm lake.
The mana that spread throughout his body spread like a stream of water falling from a cliff.
Shaaa-.
Caesar’s power was unleashed, bringing him all the information.
There was nothing that could hide in front of the family name.
‘-also.’
The blue lion came to mind.
Manus quietly opened his eyes.
What should I do?
Manus approached Tirannis, who was inspecting the equipment.
I’ll have to look for an opinion first.
The best way would be to wipe them all out, but this place is out of the way.
Assuming the worst, we might all have to bury our bones.
“older brother.”
“What.”
“Let’s talk separately for a moment.”
“What is it?”
Tyrannis unexpectedly rose from his seat.
The edge of the safe area.
Manus, who had come to a place where no sound could reach, opened his mouth.
“It seems to be a trap.”
“… … Was the reason you sprayed mana like that to find out?”
“yes.”
“Hmph, it must be worms.”
“There are quite a few of them.”
Tyrannis frowned.
The memory of yes came back to me.
It was a similar situation back then.
If it wasn’t for a great family, what would have happened if the father, the head of the household, hadn’t exercised his insight.
Seeing how the situation was similar to the terrible situation at that time, it seemed that this mission would not be easy.
after-.
He let out a small sigh.
“What is the solution? I don’t think you want to run away again.”
“We can remove the guide and go by ourselves, or we can sweep it in reverse.”
“I like it quite a bit. We need to secure the evidence, so we need to keep one guy alive.”
Tyrannis chuckled, laughing like he was having fun.
You dare to touch Caesar fearlessly?
The influence of the House of the Great Conqueror extends across the continent.
Beninitas did not become the mistress of a great family for nothing.
Sometimes people are mistaken.
The illusion that Caesar’s power only comes from powerful magic.
“I will start.”
“-I will watch.”
Tyrannis gave Manus a sharp look, then stepped back inside.
He raised his hand and formed a huge magic circle.
5 classes.
Furthermore, the magic of those who look at the 6th class.
It was ecstatic, and also wonderful.
In Manus’ eyes, it looked like a milestone he had to go through.
Whoaaah-!
A bright blue light reached everyone.
“First Confucius?”
“Why waste mana-.”
Regev and other platoon commanders asked with bewildered eyes.
Because Tyrannis was one of the best forces.
“depart. He restored his stamina, so there won’t be any difficulty in moving.”
“Bur, are you leaving already? Maybe wait a little longer…”
“Guide. What is your role?”
Tyrannis’s blue eyes stared straight at the guide.
Eyes burning with naturalization.
Seeing the eyes of a huge predator that would prey on the weak, the guide trembled and opened his mouth.
Mercenaries and adventurers were those who terribly cherished their lives.
He overcame many adversities to reach the top spot.
How could a guide who lacked fighting power survive?
‘This is dangerous.’
“Hey, I’ll show you the way.”
“Do your duty. mercenary.”
“… … All right.”
The guide straightened his shaking pupils and packed his luggage.
This is where the real hell begins.
It was a blue labyrinth from which you could never escape if you made a mistake.
but he’s someone
Here, in the southern part of the Empire, he was one of the best guides.
It was quite easy to guide them to their destination.
‘No, it could have been better.’
Originally, the idea was to take time and make it a little tiring.
The contract he made was risky, but definitely worth it.
Alright, let’s put an end to it quickly and put an end to this disgusting life.
I will cross over to another country and live with it.
Hueup-.
He braced his stomach, lifted the heavy backpack, and moved on.
“I will depart.”
“Guide.”
“Yes, sir.”
Manus approached him.
First, the impression that it looks more harmful than Confucius.
He was quite small, and above all, he was wearing the academy uniform.
That means it’s a young song that hasn’t ripened yet.
He’s such a great Caesar, but he’s still young, so he’ll treat you a little softer.
However, he was living in a great delusion.
“Don’t fall into the crap road. Guide them to the first village until the sun goes down.”
“… … that’s a bit.”
“Why can’t I? Then it loses its usefulness.”
“What is that… … .”
“Don’t disappoint Caesar. We can get through enough blue hell.”
The guide was more terrifying than the first Confucius, whose faintly smiling face openly threatened him.
Besides, his words are meaningful.
Somehow… … The feeling of knowing everything must be an illusion, right?
no way-.
no way-.
They were highly trained.
It was so far away that people here would never notice.
‘still-.’
First of all, the fist in front of me is much more terrifying.
The thought of never going against it dominated my mind.
His senses, which had served as guides for a long time, sounded the alarm.
All he could do was nod his head frantically.
What can I do?
Those creepy black heads look like they’ll turn into hideous tentacles in no time.
“I will try my best.”
Manus gave a small nod and led the party again.
Regev, who was following him, asked cautiously.
“Aren’t you overdoing it? I heard you have plenty of time.”
“Okay. Try to conserve your stamina as much as possible.”
“… … All right.”
Regev instinctively sensed something was up.
This place is so desolate that it makes you feel bad.
This nuisance, which seemed to constantly hover around me, was quite unbearable.
I wonder if that was the case with the others too, I thought it would be better to get to the village sooner rather than later.
Now all you have to do is run hard.
Manus followed the dim light and moved.
Breaking through the silence, Caesar’s elite set out on the road.
#2
Laves.
He received a message from his dear one.
It must have been sent quite urgently, to the extent that the informant brought the letter himself.
The shadow that should always be by her side came directly to this place.
I quickly sat down and looked at the letter with a serious expression.
A letter from Beninitas that began with a simple greeting.
There was written a threat lurking where the two sons were headed.
“… … Now go where you need to be.”
“All right. You are great.”
“Tell Beninitas not to worry. He was once a child, but now he has grown enough to overcome the crisis.”
“I will tell you that.”
Looking at the shadows slowly disappearing, Labeth looked to the south where the sun was shining.
Beyond the mountains, the talented people of the family walking in the huge forest.
Their power is never weak.
He smiled faintly at the fact he knew better than anyone else.
father.
and gaju.
In those two places, I always had to move while conflicting and thinking.
I had to let my children know about parental love without being swayed by personal affection.
At this moment, the direction was clear, so it was really good.
“way.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“To raise the level of training to the highest level. Activate the supply route so that you can go out at any time. Also, recruit those who will become the strength of the proud Duchy of Caesar.”
“I will follow your orders.”
“South. At the end of the empire, Caesar’s banner will fly.”
Labeth’s blue eyes shone.
Church of Dire.
And an unknown group will have to take responsibility for their choices.
and all those who were sympathetic to it.
Years had passed since Caesar had been silent.
Labeth, still fixating his blue eyes on the bright southern land, shuddered.
‘There are people who haven’t realized Caesar’s name yet.’
For those called great families, it was a big scratch.
It was a challenge to Caesar and a judgment that signaled the beginning of the tragedy.
Enemies will know the name of the family, and centuries will not erase its disgrace.
The sleeping giant opened his eyes.
The family was quiet.

Just like the calm and still night sky before a storm… … .
Silence always breeds tragedy.
However, no one knows which direction the tragedy will lead.
