Chapter 560
Episode 560:
There was no one who opposed Smarty’s claim. No, there was no one who could suggest a clearer strategy than that.
In that case, I have no choice but to accept his plan.
The leadership, except for a few specific people, disappeared from Daejeon after the talks broke down.
All that remained in Daejeon was Kang Seol, the three kings of Khan.
“… Should I tell you?”
“Will the people of the empire accept it?”
“It is the only possibility of victory. There are few options left. “If we delay, even this will disappear.”
“But… that doesn’t mean they have to accept death…”
“That’s a choice.”
“….”
“Deciding what the criminal cannot dare to judge. That is a monarch.”
If we respect each individual’s life and freedom, we must let them know all the facts and let them make their own choices.
However, this could intensify into another division ahead of an important war, and in the end, even the original plan would not be properly implemented.
On the contrary, if the monarch keeps silent about the coming calamity, he will be able to make a new breakthrough in the war according to his original plan.
However, the monarch will take responsibility for all of this. Criticism rather than praise will weigh on him, and in the end, he will suffocate under the weight of sin.
“I will stay.”
“…Seolhong.”
“Hong. Hasty judgment will only lead to things being wrong.”
“If someone had to take responsibility for this choice, it wouldn’t matter if it was any of us. “My brother’s will will be my will.”
“….”
“….”
The blood of the dragon flows in these people.
You will be courageous in the face of hardships and stronger in times of crisis.
“The statement that it doesn’t matter to any of us is something that can be considered in another sense.”
“…Did you think so too, Onii-sama?”
Taeyul and Shinyo looked at each other.
“I will stay in Cannes too.”
“Me too.”
“… that!”
“We are the ones who rule. Also, they are just a nuisance on the battlefield. Even if we are on the edge of a blade, it cannot make the blade stronger.”
Taeyul closed his eyes.
“But if we become a place where the blade will one day return, it will have meaning.”
“It would mean that the Khans did not give up on their people.”
Kang Seol listened quietly to this story, and then burst out laughing at the question Seol Hong asked.
“I wonder if the Grand Duke is disappointed with our answer?”
Pisik…
“Before coming here, Toktok predicted that all three kings would remain in Khan.”
“….”
Because that is Khan.
Those who will die bearing their sins have been decided.

Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuureu
went through the hazy fog.
I clearly remember falling asleep, but if I’m not mistaken, this was a dream.
“You’re here.”
“…Janet.”
A dream world realized by madness merchant Janet.
She seemed to be visiting alone today.
When I looked at Snowfall’s energy, it felt like the energy was blocked from entering.
“I plan to whisper today as well.”
“… What is the reason for doing this?”
“I needed to make up my own mind…”
“More than that, those eyes…?”
Inside her demon mask, there was an eyepatch over one eye.
Janet smiled and waved her hands.
“You’ve been paying close attention to my changes, right? “I’m a little touched.”
“I’m usually the type to ask questions when a good eye disappears.”
“You have a caring personality. anyway! “I came today to say goodbye.”
“Goodbye?”
“Because we might never see each other again.”
“….”
What she said was not wrong.
Snowfall may be forced into the final battle.
“I won’t visit here again from now on. So don’t look for it.”
“okay.”
Kang Seol rested her chin on one hand and continued her thoughts.
“Do I have madness?”
“Madness creeps in whenever there’s a story.”
“You can take them all.”
“really?”
“These are things I don’t need anymore.”
Madness was the attention that humans crave, someone’s gaze, and power.
“Ahaha… Are you saying that other people’s eyes can’t shake you anymore?”
“You can think whatever you feel comfortable with. “It’s just…”
Kang Seol said bluntly.
“Because the things I don’t need may be different for you.”
“… gift?”
“The meaning is whatever is convenient.”
“It’s difficult… There is no such thing as a gift for a merchant. “It’s all bribery, right?”
“….”
Janet inadvertently spoke to Kang Seol without her knowledge.
“You know, can I ask you a question?”
“You’re going to do it anyway, right?”
“that’s right!”
She tried to slightly elaborate on the judge’s question.
“If you are worthless than dust to the entire universe, or if the universe controls you… Mr… I will kick you out. “This kind of question doesn’t suit me.”
“… It looked difficult.”
“Haha! Yes? Now let’s take the madness. “Don’t resist.”
Ugh…
Janet bent her hand sideways and brought her palm to Snowfall’s lips.
Kang Seol’s eyes widened in confusion, but he relaxed because he had been told not to resist earlier.
Slurp…
At that moment, Janet’s demon mask disappeared. It feels as if time has stopped.
Kang Seol, who saw Janet’s true face for the first time, listened to what she said.
“You might come to a different conclusion.”
“….”
“I always thought it was strange. From the moment I first saw you. Someday I will find out the reason for this strangeness and this melancholy. “It will be time soon.”
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss…
Janet peels off the palm.
Kang Seol expressed his doubts.
“Janet?”
“Everything that exists in this universe is fighting. Reasons are established from birth. Dominate and be dominated and take it for granted. Resistance is not complete. We call it fate. “That’s right…”
Janet smiled through her tears.
“… Isn’t this a boring universe?”
Kang Seol recalled what she said.
– Maybe we’ll never see each other again.
The reason I might never see you again.
A vague thought occurred to me that it might have nothing to do with Kang Seol’s own situation.
Janet says goodbye.
she leaves
“We’ll meet again. “Definitely…”
and depicts a reunion that will never come.

Cheeeeeeee…
Clap…
Clap…
Cuckoo…
People preparing for a war that may be the last fight of mankind.
Materials and troops came and went from Castrang every day. It’s a bit strange, but people regained their vitality as they prepared for war.
Cheeeee…
Castrang constantly transported those who would become the Allied Forces’ leaders to Tymolon and the Gorduan’s magnetite outpost connected there.
Reconnaissance was carried out by strong Allied forces so that Montra would not notice. We gathered various information, including the terrain and troop deployment status, and waited for the right moment.
In fact, the people of Khan’s empire did not know that most of the Allied forces had left Khan’s territory.
There are still some troops left to protect Khan, but this will not be enough to stop the entire army of death.
We will be pushed and pushed until we fall over the edge and die.
A wave that the opponent cannot fight against.
It’s a terrible army.
People didn’t stop laughing and talking. Only the rulers know that war is imminent.
However, strangely enough, not only the people of the empire but also the people of Tymolon were vaguely feeling this fact with their own skin.
That’s why I laughed and cried even more.
This is obviously strange.
Why does life burn with regret when it reaches its end?
If I had burned out earlier, I wouldn’t have even regretted it.
If I had realized this earlier, something would have changed.
Before leaving Tymolon, Snowfall witnessed a strange sight.
Wow-!
Kaaaaaaaaaaaa!
It was a scene where a dwarf was working on an ogre’s huge helmet. And the ogre, the owner of the helmet, was sitting with his butt on the floor and his feet outstretched, watching.
Caaang …
the dwarf spits out bluntly.
“It will be soon.”
“Goes. “I am the last.”
It was quite common to see an ogre and a dwarf talking here in Tymolon, but their conversation was somehow special.
“ha ha ha! “It’s a good thing.”
“why?”
“Ogres like to fight. “You said it’s boring here because there’s no fighting.”
“…Did you?”
“Yes, I did. “Have you already forgotten?”
“I tend to forget things.”
“… It’s done. “Try it.”
Sigh…
An ogre with a huge helmet on its head.
The ogre didn’t say anything other than that it was a perfect fit or that it needed to be adjusted.
“I don’t want to go.”
“… what?”
“I don’t want to go.”
“….”
“I don’t want to go fight.”
“… What are you saying?”
“Fighting is no fun. “I like being boring.”
It’s hard to believe that these words are pouring out of the mouth of an ogre.
“I want to stay home. “I’m scared of dying.”
As natural warriors, they should have no fear, but what has arisen within them?
“I’m scared that I won’t be able to come home.”
“….”
“It was nice, home.”
The dwarf laughed and cried.
“Hahahaha! “It’s a good thing.”
“Is it good?”
“Okay, from now on, think of it as fighting to come back home.”
“Is that okay?”
“Everyone is like that.”
Having a place to return to means becoming weak. However, sometimes that weakness made the being stronger.
“Don’t die, boy.”
“do not die. dwarf.”
“Ugh… go… go!”
A dwarf who gets angry for no reason and turns around.
The last Castrang heading to Gorduan carried the dwarf and the ogre that greeted him.
The dagger heads to Gorduan’s magnetite.
“Whoa….”
Snowfall arrived at Gorduan’s magnetite ore.
Preparations for war were nearing their end.
A week after that.
Coo coo coo coo…
an abnormal phenomenon occurred.
“What happened…”
Hwioooooo…
Bisu looked up at the sky.
A black pillar that must have risen from Montra began to block the light in the sky.
Midday began to disappear.
Frannan said.
“… Looks like it’s about to start.”
“I guess the enemies weren’t quiet either. “I expected it to some extent, but… it’s an absurd amount of power.”
Whioooooooooo…
The light disappeared.
The night that will continue like this begins.
[Force: Montra summons the polar night.]
[While the polar night is maintained, the energy of the dead becomes stronger.] [
While the polar night is maintained, the restrictions on Montra’s spiritual body are lifted.]
…
“We’re in big trouble!”
A wizard running towards Smarty in a huff.
“The barrier… There is urgent news that the wall has collapsed…”
Khan’s wall has collapsed.
If it weren’t for the magic reactor installed in advance, I wouldn’t have received the news so quickly.
Khan’s crisis.
For some, it is a signal of disaster, but for others, it is a signal to move forward.
“March, all troops move to the target point.”
The speed is very slow.
The beast, led by ogres and giant soldiers, left the outpost and began moving to the border of Montra’s territory.
The movement continued for over half a day, and they were immersed in darkness and could only see with minimal light.
Finally, Bisu arrived at the designated location.
Half a day.
Khan’s screams seemed to reach this place.
Who is the one who is left with painful choices? Where did this first choice originate?
Montra’s huge building could be seen far in the distance.
This is where the Sun Emperor Jin resides.
The black pillar continues from there.
Smart waved his hand and signaled.
That moment.
Grumbling…
Grumbling…
Grumbling…
In an instant, numerous lights appeared.
Between those lights, the ogres’ eyes were colored red.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
…
Hot blood.
Who is the vanguard?
Huuuuuk…
Huuuuuk…
An ogre wearing a bizarre helmet.
The tyrant of Trium who caused Ajanic to fall once.
He is the general of Tymolon.
“Trample everything in sight!”
The ogres, awakened from their wildness by the man’s frantic cries, began to run forward.
“Wow!”
[Force: Montra and Force: Allied Forces’ all-out war begins.] [
Force: Veil is currently part of the Force: Allied Forces.]
[The victorious force absorbs all the era power of the defeated force.]
[Adventure in progress This Campaign: Leads to the Great War.]
[The King does not experience the Long March.] [
The Campaign is changed to an epic.]
[Epic: Leads to the Overturned Sun.]
…
[The powerful helper ‘Flame-Eating Fat’ Appears in this adventure.]
[Powerful helper ‘Flame-Eating Fat’ joins your ally in this adventure.] [
Powerful helper ‘Crooked Balance Frannan’ appears in this adventure.]
[Powerful helper ‘Crooked Balance’ ‘Frannan’ will join you as an ally in this adventure.]

The message of the helper’s appearance continued endlessly.
