Chapter 517 – Before and After Chapter 517
Dowonhyang entrance.
When underground, Torai and 5000 troops were waiting.
“I came to meet you. Commander.”
“Good.”
Underground said to Bran next to him.
“I go back slowly with Torai. You first tell the dark elf, Carl Warniak, to prepare the cleaning.”
“Are you cleaning?”
“If you say so, they will understand.”
Brang nodded and rode off on his horse first.
Jiha rode the horse, but it didn’t move right away.
“Torai, what’s the situation?”
“Three alter egos of Cheonho appeared outside. The Snow Queen and Yegrina joined forces and managed to block it.”
Jiha nodded and kicked the horse in the stomach.
“Look back at Yosaren for a moment.”
“Yes?”
Torai panicked but followed the underground with his men.
Underground roamed the streets.
Yosaren was a design city, and the streets and districts were firmly divided like a checkerboard.
In terms of commerciality, Warris is better, but Yosaren is higher in terms of completeness as a city.
As the underground silently led the army around, Torai asked out of curiosity.
“But what are you doing now?”
“It has no purpose.”
“…”
Torai thought for a while before saying.
“Is public sentiment stable?”
“There is that, and there are also advertisements.”
Over 100,000 citizens saw the big fight last night, the underground going into Dowonhyang.
And today, the next morning, Ji-ha was walking around the streets of Yosaren.
All the citizens will realize that the underground well is the Red Union’s victory, even defeating the Cheonho.
The faces of the citizens inside the building and on the street showed amazement, fear, and curiosity.
‘I am alive and well… I just go for a walk.’
Now, through this walk, it tells the citizens that the underground has become the new ruler, but that it does not persecute the citizens anew.
The citizens of Mara, who went on a rampage not long ago, and the situation in which they are nervous about last night’s fight, this underground walk will soon become known throughout the city.
There was no need to announce the victory of the Red Union by attaching a room.
“Let’s go around for another 30 minutes and go back to the government office.”
“And what do you plan to do next?”
Torai asked at once.
I know that Jiha defeated and subdued Cheonho. So now that the Red Union wins, what will Jiha do next?
“Why? You want to have a party?”
“Of course, it’s me. That’s not it, what is the commander going to do?”
“There’s a lot to sort out. If you want to play and eat, you make a plate by tomorrow night.”
“Yes?”
“It is a celebration of victory. Because we won, our soldiers drink and grill meat. Buy all the necessary items from Yosaren’s shop.”
Jiha deliberately raised her voice and said.
Loud so that the citizens outside the military can hear it clearly.
More than 50,000 mouths feast.
That’s the story that money moves big, and the frozen economy of Yosaren will start working again.
The people’s faces turned red.
Those who say they use their brains say they are smart and try not to be fooled.
If you openly tell them to believe, they suspect that you will not be deceived, and on the contrary, if you secretly spill information, they roll their heads with that little information.
It was far more effective to leak information like this and let it be inferred than to have the underground explicitly declare that it would ban looting and rape.
Citizens who claim to be smart will spread the word to their neighbors knowing that the underground will carry out a moderate policy towards citizens and that there will be absolutely no looting.
“Yes, I understand. I will warmly prepare for it.”
“Okay, and is there anything else you want to say?”
“Are you done now?”
The Red Union defeated the Heavenly Tiger and captured the Blue Seal’s capital.
In fact, as of today, the Blue Seal is extinct.
Is the war over now?
Have ears to hear The basement just laughed.
Of course it wasn’t over.
Magistrate.
Having achieved its purpose in Yosaren’s patrol, Jiha returned to the magistrates’ office.
Haran, who was waiting in the government office, bowed his head and was hit.
It was just the two of us.
“Report the situation.”
“I have secured everything as you said.”
When Cheonho’s alter ego popped out of the basement, he secretly gave orders to capture the bearers of the plaque.
“Protect all three thoroughly and send them to different cities. One Warris, one Mountain Road, one… Just leave it in Yosaren. Because it is dark under the lamp.”
“Yes, I understand. However…”
Haran did not understand the idea of the basement well.
Why did they bother to capture those who summoned the alter ego of Cheonho with the nameplate?
“That’s Cheonho’s secret aide. You didn’t know either.”
“Yes, there was no word at all.”
“What you didn’t know is that you didn’t have much contact with Cheon-ho. Still, activating the nameplate and following the order means that there was magic. In addition to that, you must know many of Cheonho’s past acts. If we keep digging, Cheonho’s political weaknesses will come out one after another.”
“… Is it illusion?”
Haran was a completely unfamiliar face.
Yes it is Cheonho did not cast a spell on Haran.
Because Haran has to work at Yosaren as the head of state affairs. He had to meet people all over the place, and someone might notice if he had magic.
That is why Cheon-ho practiced illusions only with the maids of his Dowon-hyang, or his secret aides.
Because the effect of phantom magic is halved if it is known.
‘Like Sarasa hid the Nightfall.’
They were able to destroy it right away by looking at various reasons, including the underground passage of Mara, and seeing through that Cheonho’s special ability was manipulation through phantom magic.
Of course, apart from her phantom magic, Cheonho was extremely powerful in terms of combat, but her phantom magic accounted for a significant portion of her political base.
She casts a net for the foxes to catch a comeback.
“You will find out about illusions when you investigate. The captured aides must have broken the illusion, and since they know that Cheon-ho lost, she must have changed her mind. I don’t care if she doesn’t change her mind. Cheon-ho has no choice but to buy her body when he finds out that those who know about her self-worth are in my hands.”
“…”
Harran nodded her head.
A face she wanted to ask, she laughed underground.
“Why do I bother to keep Cheonho alive?”
“Wouldn’t it have been better to kill him?”
Harran cautiously raised her objection.
Of course, if Cheonho really obeys, she becomes a very powerful force. But is Cheonho inclined to obey?
To a man who hates it so much?
Everyone who followed the underground thought so.
It’s a job decided by the basement, so I don’t throw up, so I can’t help but worry.
“It was too pretty to die for.”
“Don’t joke.”
Haran sighed.
“Even Cheon-ho’s alter ego was very powerful and caused many casualties. Jiha must have thoughts, but those who follow are uneasy.”
The greatest proof that a new era has opened is the beheading of the former ruler.
The reason Ji-ha dared to save Cheon-ho wasn’t just because he was a talented person.
“It is more useful to live and write.”
“…”
“City League.”
To Haran, who was thinking, Ji-ha threw a few words.
It refers to the alliance of 10 cities in the west of the Blue Seals, in territories that have not yet been occupied by underground armies.
Yosaren was a city located in the center of the Blue Seal, to be exact, a little to the east.
Underground had eaten half of Blue Seal, but hadn’t taken over the other half.
And the 200,000 troops that Cheonho should have commanded were also in their hands.
“If I kill Cheonho, it will be an extremely powerful cause for them. I will shout that I will avenge the Heavenly Father and retrieve the captive Snow Queen.”
“Is it really so?”
“If you’re like me, wouldn’t having an army of 200,000 in your hands be ambitious? It doesn’t explode.”
“Still, the Snow Queen, who is a legend to us, even if that’s not the case, there are many other Uniques as well. At 200,000, the Red Union’s army now exceeds 170,000, so of course the Red Union has a much better advantage when it comes to fighting.”
“We cannot mobilize all 170,000. Because purple moves.”
As Jiha laughed, Haran’s face hardened.
According to the information Iroha had sent before, the pirate empress, the legend of purple, was aiming for Lingard.
If the city federation and purple join hands, the red union will be attacked from both sides.
The situation I was trying to avoid finally came.
Then, the time is disrupted and it is solved in an advantageous way.
“Cheonho knows this too. So, as long as I’m alive, I’m waiting for it thinking that it’s no big deal to fly again. I have a carefree thought that it is okay for me to overcome this predicament, and that if I fall, I can take back the seat of power.”
“…”
When Cheonho falls, ambitious people and city federations rise.
But in the end, they can’t compete with those without a single uniqueness, ultimately the Red Union.
However, when Purple, with the Pirate Empress at the fore, pushes in from the east, the Red Union is put in danger.
After completing this calculation, Cheonho decided to pretend to be a sleeping dragon for a while.
“Then what do you intend to do?”
“Leave Cheonho alive and control the timing of the city federation. Or, making Cheon-ho break the city alliance himself is another way.”
The city federation is good when Cheonho dies. That way, 200,000 soldiers will fall into their hands intact, and it will be a justification for rising.
Conversely, it is better for the city federation to dispose of Cheonho. That way he will have a chance to fly again.
Conflicting interests can be used.
“Cheonho-nim is not that easy-going. You would give me this excuse, that excuse…”
“Of course we have to coordinate. I told you to find the documents for that.”
Hundreds of years since Cheonho has been in Yosaren, the past acts must have been recorded.
Jiha ordered Haran to search through the records of the magistrate’s past.
“Because of Cheonho’s personality, he wouldn’t have destroyed every single one of them. Even if that is the case, there are definitely guys left behind.”
Underground was sure.
Even if that wasn’t the case, since Cheon-ho’s secret aides were secured yesterday, Cheon-ho’s future actions can be controlled to some extent.
Because she cares too much about her image.
Wanting to be loved and recognized by people is Cheonho’s identity, and he was able to control it by using that.
“Ah, of course, isn’t that enough to make you anxious?”
“Yes.”
Cheonho is also a legend, but her illusions and psychic subjugation are really powerful.
The snowstorm is not even visible. Genjutsu could be applied without knowing whether or not it was being used.
Jihaya, who directly sucked Cheonho’s special ability, which was incomparably stronger than Sarasa’s Nightfall, was now immune, but the others were different.
“Even if the leader made three or four plans, Cheonho-nim is absolutely not an easygoing person.”
“That’s right, it’s to the point of fighting with me. So of course…”
Her cellar stopped talking and looked back at the door.
Seeing Haran puzzled, she blurted out the basement.
“The time has come soon.”
Click.
They said that even ghosts would appear if I told them, and a girl with pure white hair ran into the government office.
Her breath caught in her chin and she struggled to open her mouth, but her basement spoke first.
“Legend conquers with legend.”
Tame the Snow Queen to stop Cheonho from doing anything stupid.
The time has come to taste the snow.
