Chapter 316 – 316. The Door of Severance (4)
===========================
Elven knights clad in armor have arrived on the northern coast.
The man at the forefront
It was Miguel La Mancha, the second seat of the warrior commander.
As if to show that the threat was never the purpose, even though he had led the court knights, when Yushin and Allen appeared at the villa, he bowed his head and responded.
“Demon King Slayer. Ardena warrior commander.”
The Demon King of Explosives attacked the palace, followed by a surprise attack by the Other Ones.
In addition, there was even an unidentified aerial fortress in the sky above Maherit’s palace.
The Council of Yetzirah was an old-fashioned group obsessed with tradition to the point of naivete, but they were not foolish and incompetent enough to call for tradition even when threatened by the six Demon Kings.
There is only one reason Miguel was dispatched,
It was to summon Yushin Gilead and Ardena Valencia to Maherit.
“Another One raid?”
“Yes that’s right. Another One, who was under the command of Lord Khadaz Vizcaya, as well as many strangers, appeared and engaged in a fierce battle at Maherit’s Palace.”
“No, it can’t be…. Up until now, Another One would have kept their direct involvement in the case as much as possible. Did they attack Maherit’s palace?”
“I doubt that too. What we now find out is… , It’s just that Another One joined hands with the demon king of explosions, Corte dos Liberia.”
What connection did the Demon King of Explosion and Another One join hands?
As Miguel’s explanation continued, Yushin and Ardena fell into a swamp of mystery.
“You don’t think I’m in collusion with the Demon King of Explosives, do you?”
“Of course not! How dare I….”
“No, I think one or two of the proud senior high elves would think so.”
Another One from Khadaz Vizcaya.
A group made up of numerous other Ones.
After hearing Miguel’s explanation, Yushin remembered Vermouth.
The purpose of the Other Ones he said.
In any case, their purpose was to return to the original world, to Earth.
Could it be that there is a clue to the demon lord of the explosion? If there is a clue to Corte on how to return to Earth… ? Of course, Vermouth and her other Ones would have no choice but to hold hands with her.
“Why do they….”
A combat group armed with divine authority.
Even though numerous knights raided the palace of Maherit, they successfully withdrew after completing their purpose without a single casualty.
Like pros who have gone through long training,
It was swift and accurate, like special forces with countless experiences and training. Obviously, they must have prepared a lot for the assault on Maherit’s palace.
“Among them, like me, there must be someone who has the power to give direct efficiency to battle. Of course not that many, but… There must be.”
In a complicated situation where the Demon King of Explosion and the Demon King of Tyranny appeared, another One joined them, so Yushin scratched the back of his head and distorted his face.
As in the case of the kingdom of Valois,
A number of groups in succession began to intervene.
“The aerial fortress of Dope Kingdom summoned by the Other Ones is still occupying the sky above Maherit’s palace. That is why an evacuation order has been issued for Maherit.”
“What, Dope Kingdom? Why is Dope here?”
Yushin reacted sensitively to the name ‘Dope’.
Maximilian Daupe. Laurel Dope.
The family name of the two siblings who inherited the demon core of tyranny was definitely Dope.
It will never be a coincidence.
There was a high possibility that the aerial fortress occupying the sky above Maherit’s palace was related to the demon king of tyranny.
“You don’t know when the floating fortress floating above the palace will bombard the ground or fall from the air, so you’re telling us to hurry back to Maherit and protect it, right?”
“… To sum it up, yes.”
It seems disrespectful
Miguel lowered his head and replied as if he had no face.
At that, Yushin shrugged her shoulders.
What’s wrong with this hero?
It’s just a position to follow the elders of the council.
“There are conditions.”
“… Ardena?”
Yushin reacted in surprise at Ardena’s words, which opened her mouth with a stiff expression.
In the crisis situation of compatriots,
This is because Ardena, who expected her immediate return to Maherit, put forward her condition.
It was a cleverness uncharacteristic of Ardena, who had an honest disposition to the point of seeming stubborn.
“We ask the Yetzirah Council to reverse the coercive investigation and trial and all charges against the priest. I also want to request a place where the head priest can stay safely. Currently, the high priest is very tired.”
“… Yes, I understand. I’m sure the Congress will also accept all of the conditions of the battlefield.”
With a huge boulder threatening her head, no idiot would wield an obsession mixed with hatred towards the god director, Ileina.
The purpose of the council was to abolish the head priest and punish the priests.
An elf who has fallen into Hell from being an object of faith.
Having become a mere common elf, Ilayna is no longer an enemy of the Yetzirah Council. He was just a fallen delusion who considered himself the reincarnation of the first priest.
“Then… After conveying the position of the commander of Ardena to the council, I will send a reply. I’m sorry for coming suddenly without any notice. We dared to be rude.”
Miguel lowered his head and left with the knights surrounding the villa.
There was no fight going on.
This is because the Yetzirah Council did not even think that an arrest by force would be possible from the beginning.
Who would dare to suppress the Demon King Slayer and El Cid’s disciple by force?
“Whoa….”
The high elf beauty let out a deep sigh.
She held Yushin’s body tightly with both of her arms and at the same time buried her face in his broad chest.
With anguished breath,
Delivered a deep whisper.
“Sorry. Yushin, I stopped showing you a lousy side.”
“What a disgrace. It was for Ilayna.”
“While coming all the way here with Director Shin, she thought a lot…. As I continued to agonize and ponder, I constantly planted what I would do. In the end, I couldn’t find the answer.”
“There are always questions that do not have an answer. I hope you don’t try to carry everything by yourself every time. Ardena, you always try to handle many things by yourself.”
“Sorry. The chronic disease seems to have healed again.”
At Yushin’s words, Ardena smiled and kissed his dry cheek.
An affectionate kiss on the cheek.
In response to the high elf beauty’s shy affection, Yushin also expressed affection with a cheek kiss.
“My head hurts because of the constant worries… I am relieved to see your face.”
“What kind of favor is our Valencian lady trying to be so cute with?”
“Yeah I… Ears, ears… Cute… It must be because.”
Perhaps because she thought that she had caused trouble to Yushin again, Ardena struggled to suppress her shame and shyness while trying hard to show her aegyo.
It was cute, of course, but
Her face, reddened as if it were going to burst at any moment, looked very dangerous.
“That me… Where were you hospitalized?”
“Hospital Palace Vina.”
“For now, wouldn’t it be better to put Ileina there? Since it is located close to the palace, I think it will be easy to escort Ilayna while being wary of the aerial fortress that appeared in the sky above Maherit’s palace.”
“Good idea.”
Like yourself,
Yushin was also very worried about Ileina, so Ardena smiled.
* * *
The Yetzirah Assembly was a political body based on traditionalism, emphasizing tradition and conservative ideas and laws.
Following hundreds of years of tradition,
The Council, which advocates pure-bloodism centered on the High Elves, has always been wary of and rejected factors that might pose a great threat to the authority of the Council and the legitimacy of the High Elves.
The persuasion of Leticia Santander, the eldest daughter of Vilen Santander, played a role in how the Yetzira Council took a somewhat docile position toward Ilay or Tres Liberia, which they called fakes or imitations.
“The Demon King of Explosive Slaughter and Another One. Even the demon king of tyranny who raided the rangers in the Aquitaine Mountains. I think now is the time to prioritize cooperation and unity rather than encouraging confrontation and division.”
If you fall into an internal trap and commit the foolish act of ignoring external threats, the country of the elves will surely go down the path of decline.
Attending the council as the successor of the Santander family, Leticia explained the current chaotic situation by mentioning the old story of how many of her own people, who had been scattered across the continent, united under the will of the first priest and established a country on the Liberia Peninsula.
“Kuhm… !”
“I’m not saying it’s wrong.”
The high elven nobles who were hit hard by a girl their daughter’s age reacted with embarrassment, acting like children who had been scolded by their parents.
In the current situation of the attack on Maherit’s palace,
Causing divisions due to internal turmoil risks creating precarious consequences.
“Now is the time to fight the enemy outside. For his sake, we have to put aside our internal work for a while.”
As the red-haired high elf lady at the center of the council spoke, the number of high elf nobles gradually increased.
“We are high elves. He is a descendant of a great ancestor who helped the first priest to lead his fellow countrymen. Even if it is to pass on the tasks and achievements of the first priest and ancestors to the next generation… , We must unite our strength to overcome the current crisis.”
It was just a speech in front of only 10 high elven nobles.
But obviously, the earnest appeal made by the daughter of the Santander family deeply touched the Yetzirah Council.
High Elf nobles, including Wallace Valencia, sympathized with Leticia’s opinion, which valued unity and governance.
“As the young lady said, the six demon lords are the enemies of all the races on the continent, and even to us elves, they are no different from being crippled enemies. Besides, Corte dos Liberia, who inherited the Demon Core of Explosion, is a taboo for us elves that should never be known on the continent.”
We must prepare for the danger by clearing the confusion.
Wallace, of course.
The nobles of the faction following Khadaz Viskaya also agreed with Leticia’s words.
Undoubtedly, the evil demon lords want to intensify the internal turmoil. Never give in to those corrupt whispers. Now was the time to gather all forces, including the Demon King Slayer and the Warrior Chiefs.
“Good job, Leticia.”
Watching Leticia take the lead in persuading the nobles, Villen said with a thrilled expression on her face.
At that, Leticia opened her mouth.
“I want to do what I can. Unlike teachers and Ardena warrior commanders, I… Because I don’t have the strength to fight the demon king.”
I want to add my strength.
That’s the,
Because it was the best I could do for the people I respect and love.
‘If a war with the six demon lords breaks out… Obviously, the Liberia Peninsula will be engulfed in devastation, just like when we fought Savnak. Instead of relying only on the teacher and the Ardena Warriors for everything, we also have to fight against the threat.’
Since the head of the priest resigned in disgrace,
In the end, the Yetzirah Council was the only force that could mobilize its full strength in the war against the six demon lords.
Sensing her impending threat, Leticia, through her father, appealed to the high elven nobles for unity in order to aid her restoration.
