The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Chapter 559

Episode 559

At about the same time, the leadership of the Allied Forces was resting. However, the King of Three Dukes, who ruled over Khan, was an exception.

These were people who had to be called in without a break, even apart from problems with the Allied Forces.

“… Is that really true?”

“It’s definitely true.”

Last night, an incident occurred where Khan’s great prophet fainted. The prophets recorded the prophecies of the great prophet, who muttered what he had seen even while he was unconscious.

“They say they saw water. “There are many prophets who say that even while he was unconscious, a fragrant good energy was felt from his mouth.”

“This is not the first time the Great Prophet has warned of danger to the empire…”

Not only did he predict that a tectonic shift would occur in Pandea, but he also predicted that another disaster would occur in the new continent of Gorgosia. prophet.

“I have to come see you soon. “Have you regained consciousness yet?”

“yes. “You are suffering from a chronic illness due to old age, and you have recently exerted yourself in a weakened state…” “

So the prognosis may not be good. i get it.”

Taeyul bit the messenger.

“Ships… We need a lot of ships…”

“Why? “Isn’t Montra not only in the middle of the continent, but also a desert?”

“Seolhong, you are right. “That’s why I’m worried.”

“If you’re worried…”

“I wonder if another disaster is waiting for you.”

Shinyo said with a dissatisfied face.

“The capacity to build a new ship….”

“It is not impossible. “We are already in a situation where there is a surplus of manpower due to a lack of production facilities.”

“Brother Khan is still fighting a war.”

“I understand your concerns. But it was always the act of ignoring warnings that put Khan in the greatest danger.”

“… It’s not an easy decision to make.”

“I wasn’t sure yet either. A little more…”

At that time, there was a commotion beyond the gates of Daejeon. The subject who received the message from the messenger spoke about what he had received from the three kings.

“It is said that an ogre visited the royal castle.”

“….”

“….”

“….”

The question on the expressions of the kings is questionable.

And soon wonder.

“iced coffee!”

“It’s here!”

“The crow flew in this morning! But… how?”

That wasn’t the important part.

Taeyul said.

“Have a grand welcome! “There must not be even an inch of negligence!”

* * *

Among the leaders of the Allied Forces gathered in Yongje Daejeon, about half were sitting with reluctant expressions on their faces.

“So when is it coming?”

“It’s not something big enough to make us wait…”

“Stop talking.”

When Frannan, the scale, said a word, everyone fell silent.

Thump…

thud…

Ogre and Kangseol, whose size would seem quite impressive to humans, entered Daejeon side by side.

A huge chair that looked as if it had been prepared for you was placed in front of him, and after giving a slight bow, he sat down.

Snowfall sat next to him.

“I had no idea that our meeting would take place so soon.”

“I was like that too, but there was nothing I could do because it was such an urgent matter. “I hope your Majesty will understand with great generosity.”

“ha ha ha!”

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Dttokki used a very skillful speaking style.

“Tsk… ogres and such.”

“What a shameless play.”

It was a very small voice buried in the noise, but it was a sound that anyone with sensitive ears would have heard.

However, when Dttokki acted calmly, the others could not react and just ignored it.

Light greetings and personal information were exchanged to ease the tense atmosphere.

One interesting thing is that as the conversation continued, everyone felt that the pressure on Ttuk-ri was gradually diminishing.

He crushes prejudice and rejection with his unique presence and wisdom.

“grandee.”

“Please tell me.”

“… I would like to hear what the Archduke thinks about this war.”

Smart was not embarrassed by the title of Grand Duke and answered straight away.

“It’s an unjust war. “Has there ever been another war like this in human history whose purpose and meaning is unknown?”

“you’re right. The cause of this war is ours. If so… the Archduke….”

“If the Allied Forces need Tymolon’s help, we are willing to join them.”

flinch…

everyone clasped their hands in unison.

Firstly, we no longer had to worry about the ogres of Tymolon, a force we had to be wary of, and secondly, their power would be of great help to the Allied Forces.

“Really… that means a lot! If the Archduke decides to fight against Montra with the Allied Forces, this war will surely end in our victory!”

“….”

Ttuktuk didn’t answer.

Everyone sensed something strange in his silence and paid attention to the conversation that would follow.

“Probably not.”

“…what does that mean?”

“Losing morale before war is something not even a general should do. However, a monarch must risk even that. “Everything can fall apart due to wrong judgment.”

“….”

Shinyo said through gritted teeth.

“How arrogant! “This is an act that looks down on Khan!”

“Do not commit sin or disgrace.”

“Brother!”

“This is an action that makes a mockery of the story that brought the Archduke to this place through the army of death.”

“….”

“Hurry up and apologize for your rudeness.”

Shinyo bowed lightly.

“You were rude by acting lightly. “I ask for your forgiveness.”

“I will accept it.”

It’s easy to get angry, but it’s hard to control your anger. And since this was a position where I had to make more difficult decisions, I couldn’t act rashly.

“I will listen to your opinion.”

When even Taeyul said this, everyone listened to what Ttukgi said.

“I had a conversation with Lord Snow on the way here. “It would be best to talk about that first.”

Kang Seol parted her lips as the attention of those around her focused on her.

“Everyone knows that the resurrection of Montra was caused by immortality.”

“….”

“Rather than understanding the enemy’s purpose, perhaps understanding the warlock’s purpose will allow you to view the situation more simply.”

He said dryly.

“He… intends to kill every living thing on Pandea.”

“What?!”

“So…”

The conclusion that Kang Seol comes to at the end of Django.

The only purpose of immortality was the era calendar.

The era calendar is a resource used for ascension.

When you reach the level of a challenger, you are qualified to challenge heaven, but all of the 10 legendary horses tasted bitterness in the challenge.

Snowfall also had similar thoughts. So, if you try to ascend to heaven with more era power, will the results be different?

But this thought was soon erased.

Even reaching the level of challenger requires an enormous amount of power, and gathering power that goes further than that was close to impossible.

However, this was just Kang Seol’s idea. If we look at the era calendar from a slightly different perspective, we could have drawn a different conclusion.

The era calendar could not be obtained only through good deeds and achievements. The power of the times is also gathered by the evil deeds and evil karma, which are the opposite points.

Snowfall did not choose this method last time. Pandea It might be right to say that he couldn’t choose because he loved the game board itself.

The immortal had a different mindset from him.

There was nothing rough about her.

So, he tried to swallow up all evil and fly up.

“Extinction of life. “That’s all he wants.”

It was reported to the Allied Forces that an agreement could never be reached.

“Are you sure?”

“… I’m sure.”

“There will be no negotiations.”

Djdkki intervened in this conversation.

“Montra and we are incompatible. “The only option is to completely destroy the opponent.”

“If you do it, it will be done.”

“It’s impossible.”

“… What does it mean?”

“The Allied forces cannot defeat Montra with their full strength.”

“If you do, I will ask why you think that.”

Smart didn’t hesitate.

“Because we have to protect it.”

“Because I have to protect it…?”

“Because we must protect ourselves, our friends, our family, our society, our country, and humanity.”

Others listening responded.

“gibberish. “Humans become stronger to protect themselves.”

“That makes sense. “You can’t win because you protect it… maybe.”

The person mentioned above was Danju Pommel of the Mirage Mercenaries, and the person who spoke next was Libra Frannan.

“Can you tell me more?”

“The opponent’s strength is unknown. It even includes a force strong enough to completely crush the Allied Forces’ first offensive. In addition, there are those who are said to be immortal… Even the revealed military force exceeds ours.”

“I know the situation is not good, but that will not be a reason to step down.”

“I’m not saying you should step down. “You have to choose.”

“… select?”

“Montra will do so without hesitation if it means wiping out humanity, even if it means losing all of its troops. “We are fighting such a monster.”

select.

Better and worse.

You can pick it out.

You can make wise choices.

Now everyone thought so.

However, Kang-seol and Ttuk-ri, who knew what was going to happen, were exceptions.

“Montra is never pierced by a spear. Charging with spears is the most foolish action the Allied Forces can choose. The opponents are armed with strong armor, and our spears are weak, so one mistake will cause them to lose balance and break. “Instantly, humanity will be driven to extinction.”

“… the word.”

“What we need to think about now is the dagger, not the spear. “A dagger that will pierce the opponent’s neck in one fell swoop.”

“Why do you say it’s a dagger?”

Smart took out a plan he came up with.

“Tymolon has now succeeded in embodying, to some extent, the original form of Castrang, the pride of the Federation in the past. “It travels through underpasses and is much larger than the trains commercialized in the past, making it easier for war.”

“Castreng!”

“oh my god!”

“I have no idea why I was able to visit so quickly…”

Kang Seol answered instead.

“The castrangs extend from Tymolon to a stone’s throw from Khan. “I saw it with my own eyes.”

“then! “We can also expect prompt support from Tymolon during the war!”

Smart shook his head.

“This Castrang moves in the opposite direction.”

“… what?”

“We will transport Khan’s troops to Tymolon.”

“That’s ridiculous! “Are you saying you’re going to abandon Khan?”

“you’re right.”

“….”

“I will abandon Khan.”

Everyone held their throbbing heads and concentrated on the rapidly changing topics.

“Abandoning Khan…”

Shinyo opened his mouth and moaned.

“The Grand Duke Khan’s soldiers have fought and will fight again to defend their homeland. But why do you abandon Khan and protect Tymolon?”

“I never said I would protect Tymolon.”

“… no way.”

“Throw away Tymolon too.”

It’s a terrible idea.

“You even threw away Tymolon! “What is that…”

“Grand Duke… I think you need to answer one of my questions.”

Taeyul asked Ttuktuk with a stern expression.

“How far has the Archduke’s Castrang continued?”

Sigh…

“Tymolon had to take possession of an abandoned and unclaimed lodestone mine after the fall of the Northern Federation. This is because the amount of magnetite needed to build Castrang was enormous. We could not rely solely on the amount supplied through trade. Before Castrang was fully operational, tunnels were dug all the way there to create an underground passage. “Only the collaborators mobilized for this and I know this.”

Taeyul looked at Tttkki.

The question still existed.

How far does his castrang extend?

A magnetite mine.

So where is the magnetite mine?

Slurp…

Someone approached and unfolded a huge Pandean evangelism. The leadership was scrambling to seize the corner of evangelism.

Sumha …

smart pointed to a point of evangelism with a finger.

“… Gorduan!”

“If it’s towards Gorduan… it’s close to the center of the continent…”

“This…”

Taeyul said.

“I think I understand why you said it was a dagger.”

“Castrang continues all the way to here. Gorduan… That’s right.”

Smart nodded.

“Under Montra’s chin.”

“If the enemy is not prepared, it could inflict a huge blow!”

Smart denied what someone said.

“It shouldn’t end with a blow. “We must annihilate Montra with this one attack.”

“….”

“We must somehow insert our greatest power and the only blade that can defeat the mighty of Montra into there.”

“That might be…”

Sigh…

Everyone looked at Snowfall.

“….”

Kang Seol closed his eyes.

He was to become the blade of humanity.

Smart continued.

“Although Gorduan is located close to Montra, it is also a location where you can face the worst situation if surrounded by enemies. If Montra’s forces surround the Allied forces from all sides, we will be defeated immediately.”

At this point, there were people who had an idea of what he was trying to say.

“Does someone have to lead Montra’s troops in and capture them?…”

“That’s right.”

“Bisura… That’s right, someone was needed to embrace the armored Montra. So you said that a spear cannot stab, but a dagger can stab…”

“There is no chance left for us. But… if someone embraces Montra, there is only one chance.”

The meaning of what Ttukgi said: the opportunity is already gone. And what that means is that the situation will become harsher.

Everyone says this.

The blade that would pierce evil needed those who would embrace it. Both the blade and those who would embrace it were close to death, but the latter had no hope.

“Now we must decide for ourselves who will live and who will die.”

“That doesn’t make sense…”

The moment of hard choice has come.

All of the options given by evil have rotted away. At this moment, everyone is lost. All they can do is lie on the road and cry.

This path is sometimes called fate.
