Chapter 166 – 166. Because You Called the Thunder (3)
=====================
The red rays emanating from all over the kingdom as if piercing the sky were so extensive that they could be witnessed even on the borders adjacent to other countries.
A red demon with blood.
The ray of light emitted from the Blood Stones even dyed the sky red, announcing the fall of the Valois kingdom.
Strange things are happening in the kingdom of Valois. It is clear that there is a terrible situation related to the Demon King’s army. The elven rangers, who judged that, hurriedly reported the situation to Maherit and informed them of an urgent crisis.
“It must have been a human civil war…. Why did even the demons intervene?”
The priest, who had summoned all the elven warrior chiefs, pressed down on his throbbing temples and furrowed his brows.
Magi that contains human death and suffering.
It was clear that the demons were doing it. The Demon King’s army intervened in the civil war in the kingdom of Valois.
Judging like that, Ilayna felt intuition that the civil war in the kingdom of Valua was no longer a problem only for the kingdom, but a problem for all countries and races that were hostile to the demon king’s army.
“… It is a blood stone.”
2 commanders,
Miguel La Mancha opened his mouth cautiously.
As an elf who had served on the frontlines of the Holy Empire for a long time, Miguel heard the report from the elf rangers and learned that one of the weapons of the Demon King’s army, the blood stone, had been activated.
“Bloodstone? What is that.”
At the question of Bariteon next to him, Miguel began to explain.
“It is a weapon that is mobilized to transform the territories occupied by the Demon King’s army, which destroyed human nations and occupied half of the continent, into demonic world.”
“Magyehwa… ? Turning the human land into a demon realm?”
“Yes that’s right.”
The Demon King’s army mobilized a number of weapons, including blood stones of vampires, to turn the occupied area into a demon world.
Except for Miguel, the elves were unaware of the existence of the Blood Stone. This is because the weapon that the Demon King’s army mobilized for Makaihwa was not a blood stone, but a weapon called Park Ma-seok (薄魔石).
Blood stones are not usually used,
It was a weapon with the same effect as the Park Ma-seok used by the Demon King’s Army.
“The prerequisite for activating the Blood Stone is to make an offering. It activates a spell by absorbing the spirits mixed with human blood, corpses, and pain.”
Blood stones were not used because they required a large amount of sacrifices each time they were activated.
However, the performance was far ahead of Park Ma-seok.
In particular, compared to Park Ma-seok, it had the advantage that the time required to develop the technique was very short.
“When the demonization of the kingdom of Valois is completed, a large army of demons will come over. In that case, the Holy Empire will face the demon king army from the front and back. And there will be a disaster where we will also cross the border with the Demon King’s army.”
Even as a holy empire,
Even as the Liberia Elves,
The demonization of the kingdom of Valois was the worst crisis that endangered the nation’s existence at once.
The situation must be prevented. Ilayna decided to dispatch warrior commanders and elven knights in order to stop the situation in Valois Kingdom, even if it meant being criticized by public opinion for intervening in the kingdom’s civil war.
“Ardena warrior commander.”
“Yes, priest.”
At Ileina’s call, Ardena, with a hard expression on her face, bowed her head with her hand on her chest.
Silently, I waited for the priest’s order.
Ardana was worried about Yushin, who would have been swept away by the demon lord’s army who intervened in the civil war, while she felt hostility towards the demon lord’s army who intervened in the civil war of the humans.
“I’m sorry, but I think the Ardena warrior commander has to step in. Head for the kingdom of Valois with the warrior commander Miguel and the warrior leader Liana.”
“All right.”
Avoid meddling in the civil war as much as possible,
He gave a difficult order to thwart the plans of the Demon King.
“We don’t know anything about what’s going on in the kingdom of Valois. You’d better join Yushin first.”
“Yes.”
You can go see Yushin.
Hearing Ilaina’s order, Ardena sighed deeply.
After all, how long had it been since they separated from each other, did they get caught up in the incident again?
Do you have a knack for collecting bad luck?
As he left, he wished him luck on his journey, but deep down, it seemed that a terrible thing had happened, perhaps because he longed for his return.
* * *
The high elf warrior chief was in the middle of a fierce battle against an army of tens of thousands.
A large army, far more than the troops they had dealt with a while ago, rushed in.
It’s a ploy to catch your ankle.
It was clear that he would not allow access to the Magic Stone Tower, which emits a vicious red aura, until ‘something’ had been completed.
“Koo-hoo!”
One of the vampires fell to the floor vomiting blood from her mouth.
But it’s still a long way off.
Yushin pulled out the Karus from his stomach and sped up to hunt the next vampire.
Blue thunderbolts roamed across the wide battlefield, selecting only vampires one after another to deal with.
But because of that, I felt a lot of pressure.
This is because the high-speed sword continuously overloads the two legs, which run especially fast.
Thanks to this, he was able to save countless kingdom troops who were under the control of vampires, but whenever the battle continued, Yushin had to endure the burden on his body.
“Keah!”
“Rice, lightning is falling!!”
It was true that Yushin felt burdened, but that did not stop his offensive.
Lightning struck incessantly.
Each time, the vampires disappeared in ashes, and the vampires cut by Karus’ blade also disappeared in ashes.
“I’ll help too!”
“Joe, stop when you say nice things!”
Yushin hurriedly stopped Allen from clenching his fists and trying to step out.
She is definitely the strongest power.
In terms of her pure physical abilities, she was superior to Yushin.
However, she was a tank that instantly destroyed a large number of people in a wide range, regardless of peer or foe. As soon as she was put into battle, it was clear that she would blow up not only the vampires, but also the kingdom’s army.
‘How many of them have been caught? Couldn’t it be that the entire kingdom army fell to the vampires? Damn, please say no!’
Even if you fall down, there is no end.
Besides, it was a problem even if all the vampires were annihilated.
How should the soldiers of the Kingdom Army, who were released after being ruled by vampires, deal with it?
The soldiers who had been overworked for a long time were in a state of exhaustion.
He needed someone to protect the fallen kingdom army from exhaustion.
“Cool, cool!”
“Ugh…. Buy, save me… !”
Soldiers groaning in agony,
Yoo-shin couldn’t bear to turn her steps away from them.
He was also worried about the rest of his subordinates who did not participate in the battle and remained in the kingdom.
Where are you and what are you doing right now?
Surely you’re not foolishly being manipulated by vampires?
He never raised his men to be stupid.
Even as I thought so, I was worried that I might be manipulated as a puppet of a vampire.
“Even a potion….”
Yushin, who was about to take out a potion from the pocket he wore around his waist, paused for a moment while staring at the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Kingdom Army.
It can’t be done in one bottle.
Ten bottles, no, twenty bottles…. It was because in order to drink all the fallen soldiers, they needed a potion equal to half of the number of people.
“Brother, I can’t help it.”
Allen opened her mouth.
She shook her head and held Yushin’s hand tightly.
“Let’s give up. I told you to go to the capital first. We have to beat the vampires.”
The urgent priority is to subdue the vampires who would have dominated the Valois royal family.
Now I am in a position to be chased by time.
He was not relaxed enough to take care of all the soldiers in front of him.
“You’re right.”
Allen’s words are right. Judging so, Yushin turned his head away from the fallen soldiers on the floor.
Northeast where Rutemine is located.
By turning his head to the northeast, he wished to hasten his journey towards Lutemine.
But then,
Doo doo doo doo!!
The neighing of horses began to echo with the sound of hooves.
It was the sound of hundreds of cavalrymen.
The cavalrymen, who held the flag of the royal family of Valois high, appeared in shining armor.
‘Are they tricked by vampires again?’
Yushin, who judged that, glared at the cavalry who appeared out of nowhere and stood in their way.
But,
The cavalry, boasting agile majesty, was not an army controlled by vampires.
The army of the Duke of Agincourt, the army of the kingdom of Valois, which had remained silent in response to the order of the Valois royal family, which ordered the subjugation of the militia, finally moved.
“I guess it was correct to judge that it was headed for Lutemine.”
A middle-aged man with deep scars on his face approached Yushin and Allen, escorted by knights armed with exceptional skills.
Duke of Agincourt.
He was a prominent figure in the Valois military and the commander-in-chief who was ordered by the Valois royal family to subdue the citizen army.
“Sir Gilead.”
“I believed that he would intuit the kingdom’s crisis and return.”
The knights escorting the Duke of Agincourt took off their helmets’ face shields.
These are familiar faces.
This is because the knights in charge of escorting the Duke of Agincourt were the former subordinates of Yushin, the kingdom knights who stayed by their side when the castle was attacked.
“Your Excellency the Duke.”
Yushin bowed his head and bowed to the Duke of Agincourt.
The Duke of Agincourt nodded his head.
He had heard from the Earl of Roxfield that the Yushin Gilead had returned, and had come to lead his army and join him.
“Lord Gilead, long time no see.”
“Yes.”
“Lord’s men were taken by me. In an emergency like now, we can’t let our precious power rot. Of course, Lord’s subordinates will be uncomfortable with me, but haha!”
With the help of Duke Agincourt, the Yushin’s subordinates, who were in a state of confinement under guard and surveillance by the royal family, were released.
As the blonde-haired woman took off her helmet, she took a step closer to Yushin.
“Lord Gilead, is Isana and the others all right?”
“Then of course, Janet.”
“I’m glad the rest of the idiots are all fine.”
At Yushin’s answer, the girl named Janet, who lives here, sighed deeply in relief.
The rest of my comrades are all unharmed.
When he heard that all of his comrades who had been taken prisoner of war by the Liberia Elves were safe, a smile crept into his hard expression as if he was relieved.
“I’m glad you came back safely.”
“Could I know the details? The kingdom just arrived, so I don’t know the details.”
“All right.”
At Yushin’s request, Janet readily nodded her head.
