175 – If a timid guy turns black, nothing is more terrifying than that (5)
When you’re betrayed by a friend you trusted.
I felt my world crumble. All the values I believed in until now. That is why I felt that my honor and pride were being shattered. It must have completely collapsed then.
I chose to hide because I was afraid of making relationships with other people. My father rebuked me for that. He said that he was so weak that he could become the only heir to the tribal chief.
Perhaps, from then on, with the justice my father speaks of. Maybe the definition I thought was different. Applying to the Royal Knights was actually a big part of wanting to run away from my father.
The Royal Knights weren’t as bad as I thought. Fighting enemies is something no one can do. However, it was more difficult for me to build relationships with other members of the Royal Knights.
Still, there were a few people I could get along with, including Ruby. As time goes on, maybe I can get better too. I thought so. That is until that day comes.
“Puha! This is quite a thing!!”
“This, you b*tch!!!”
“Wait a minute! Bayard! Don’t leave on your own!!!”
Hell General was a demon with strength worthy of his nickname. However, Bayard, who let go of reason in battle, could not stand the provocation of the General of Hell. He just ran forward.
Of course, that’s probably why the General of Hell slaughtered one of his few close comrades before that. But Bayard didn’t just move with anger. I did have a reason.
At that time, the Royal Knights were ambushed by the True Ancestors. Thanks to that, a considerable number of elite knights were killed. The remaining personnel were besieged by the true ancestors. The important thing there is momentum.
Don’t panic if you fall into a trap. I had to make a frontal breakthrough somehow. Because if you don’t, everyone will die. That judgment was not wrong. Except that the opponent is a true ancestor.
In the end, Bayard was thoroughly defeated by the General of Hell. The Royal Knights lost momentum and suffered damage close to annihilation. If it wasn’t for the teleport scroll given by the leader.
The very few survivors, including Bayard, probably did not exist. Of course, Bayard’s guilt, which opened fire, was heavy beyond imagination. He just hated everything.
What qualifications do I have to return to the Royal Knights? I’d rather die here like this. If so, wouldn’t it be an atonement for his comrades? There was someone who held my hand like that.
The person who comforted me saying it was okay.
The person who hugged me when I was alone.
Someone says. Will everything be solved with just that? That’s not wrong. But the human heart can do that. From then on, little by little I came to depend on him.
From behind that person, I swore. I will definitely risk my all to protect this person. So, how did it go? I opened my eyes slowly. The world was still empty and grayish.
3 Years.
Like chewing a grain of sand.
A painful and tough time.
It’s not like I wanted to do this from the beginning. Still, I had hope until the end. Just like the leader believed in me. I also have them, no. Tried to believe in all of us.
“The leader isn’t dead yet.”
“Of course. The leader isn’t just a person to die!”
“That’s right!”
At first, everyone asserted that they were not dead. Sooner or later, the leader will come back to us as if it were natural. Everyone believed But as time went on, I got tired of it.
Waiting was also a problem. The biggest problem was the crack in the tribal union and the resulting pressure. The barrier of the Vatican Holy Land, which had been able to maintain balance until now, has been shattered…….
With that, the true ancestors started to invade again. Until then, countries that believed in and waited for it changed their attitudes in an instant. I understand. Because the damage starts to increase right in front of my eyes.
They must have decided that waiting for the captain who didn’t know when he would return was nonsense. However, the chest did not. I tried to convince Yoo-young with an unusually strong force.
To fill the gap in the leader’s absence. We tried our best. However, when the leader did not return after a year, the tribal union eventually chose to disband the Royal Knights.
[That bastard’s Royal Knights. I’m really bored to death.]
[Is the Royal Knights the problem after all?]
[I think so. Then shouldn’t we disband the Royal Knights?]
As the invasion of the ancestors began, many people died. Thanks to that, the fear that had calmed down began to spread again. The result was that the moderates were driven out and the hardliners prevailed.
What the hardliners who took the real power chose was none other than the dissolution of the Royal Knights. They have made similar claims in the past. It was just buried because it wasn’t mainstream at the time and didn’t have the power.
But the story changed when they got real power. People no longer believed in the Royal Knights. I was angry. How much have we done so far? How easy is it to change?
[I can’t help it. Because it looks like I’m going to die right now.]
[…] ….]
[The living must live, Bayard.]
Not only Yooyoung, but other people also said that. Someone even urged me not to get drunk on the old glories. Is it like that, is everything we’ve done with the leader forgotten?
“No, I will not be forgotten.”
The memories I had with the captain, and the glorious flag I raised with everyone. I will make you shine forever regardless of means and methods. By killing all the True Ancestors.

At first, I definitely thought so. I didn’t listen to the people around me and continued to move forward. But, at some point, I realized. I just close my eyes The fact that I gave up…….
Maybe he just wants to unleash his anger on the world. However, now it didn’t matter anyway. And, I turned my head. I saw an old friend standing in front of me.
* * *
“Bayard, let’s stop now.”
Unlike usual, with a sincere expression, Yooyoung appealed to Bayard. Because she knows what she wants That’s why, as a friend, she’s trying to stop that somehow.
However, to Bayard, Yooyoung’s voice was just fine. Rather, Bayard stares openly at Yoo-young and holds on to ridicule. Who is telling whom to stop?
“That’s funny, Yooyoung. Are you saying that, not anyone else?”
“Bayard, I…”
“It was you who cooperated so far with this plan without a word.”
Yooyoung couldn’t deny that. At first she felt sorry for her even more. Because she couldn’t protect the Royal Knights or her friend’s heart. So she did her best to help.
At least until we figure out Bayard’s plans. Bay Yard hid the danger of his thunderbolt from everyone as best he could. Only a handful of people involved in the plan knew this secret.
If only I could go mad with vengeance and kill the demons. Most of the rest are revenge demons who think it’s okay. Bayard used the revenge demons to create a steel thunderbolt.
Belatedly realizing the fact, Yoo-Young tried to stop it somehow. It was already too late. As the hardline Bears gained power, they took over the 12 tribes on behalf of the Rats.
Of course there were traditions and customs. An unprecedented crisis made that possible. What is important to the Beast Tribe is strong leaders and warriors who can protect themselves from the Demon Tribe right now.
“No one can stop it now. We must burn them all to finish the job. Yes, so that they will never be forgotten.”
Bayard’s eyes burned like fireworks. As if you have to burn everything in this world to be satisfied. How the hell did it happen like that? No matter how much he thought about it, Hans couldn’t figure out why.
I can’t do this.
Hans, who was watching Yu-Young persuading from a distance, stepped forward directly while kicking his tongue. Because no matter how he looked, he didn’t seem like he could be persuaded by words. Could it be because he felt the presence from a distance first?
Bayard’s eyes were fixed on Hans, who left the swimming pool and appeared directly from behind. For a very short time, we didn’t say anything to each other. But for Hans, that time was too long.
Cluna and Clara said that if they met in person, things would be resolved in an instant. Anyway, there’s no way that could be possible. After contemplation, Hans slowly placed his hand on the handle of his sword.
“Stop what you’re trying to do right now. Otherwise…”
Of course, I didn’t really intend to draw the sword. He was only trying to threaten. Suddenly Bayard moved first. The reaction was a little late because it moved at a tremendous speed in an unexpected situation.
When he came to his senses, Bay Yard had already stuffed Hans in both of his arms. Hans, who had been dragged into his arms like a doll, stared at Bayard without a word, blinking his eyes.
Isn’t the situation a bit different for a touching reunion? No, but since we met after 3 years, I would understand. If I let her go, Hans took her away because she thought this would continue.
“Answer first before hugging.”
“That, I’ll stop! That, that’s why… Please hug me…!!”
“……Is that so?”
The woman of hatred, who, just a moment ago, wanted to set her world on fire, disappeared in an instant. She returned to the Bay Yard three years ago where she was timid. Hans smiled bitterly as he saw her.
Is this correct?
