Chapter 354 – Chapter 354 Marching Outward-14
Night.
Underground met with the mayor of Larussa, Fairy Queen Labian.
It was a place where the Dark Elves and their direct subordinates, including Enlil and Ashira, had gathered.
‘Even if it’s direct…’
Dark elves, including Enlil, stood on the left side of the basement where the seat of the throne was seated, and Orcs, including Ashira, and other races, including humans and beastmen, stood on the right.
It’s not that they aren’t hostile to each other, but they naturally recognized each other on their own.
‘As expected, they’re still a powerful group.’
Wordsland’s factions, Blue Seals and Purple Liberation, were not centralized.
Each race was in the form of borrowing their troops according to the order of Unique and Legend.
Those who came and followed the underground were also accustomed to this method.
‘But Red Union shouldn’t be like that. You must bind them together under me.’
As Jihaga looked at Ashira, she flinched as she only looked in front of her. Her cheeks gradually turn red as she recalls what happened 30 minutes ago.
However, Jiha wasn’t thinking about things a while ago.
‘I purposely entrusted Ashira with the command of the Dark Elves and mixed up the formations, but it still doesn’t stick. In the end, the experience of comrades is the best…’
They are advancing towards the heart of the Blue Seal, but the battle worthy of battle is yet to come.
Continuing to mix with each other and share victories and defeats, a consciousness that transcends races will be established.
As he was organizing his thoughts, the barracks’ curtains were lifted and a bright beam of light came in.
Even the gaze of the people who were in the city and the underground turned to the light.
A small woman flew in, escorted by clumps of pure light, colored yellow, blue, and red.
Her 20cm tall body, closely knit features and slender body make her look like a beautiful doll.
However, each time the four transparent butterfly wings are moved, colorful lights flutter.
She was a creature, not a sculpture.
“Ah…”
“Oh…”
People shed a sigh at the appearance of the Fairy Queen.
The appearance of the Fairy Queen leisurely flying through the air while being escorted by light was mysterious.
“Are you alone?”
The basement asked briefly.
The Fairy Queen, who was about to descend, hesitated and shook her head gracefully. Then the masses of her light changed shape and transformed into a gorgeous, transparent chair.
The Fairy Queen sat on a chair that changed her shape in the air and spoke softly.
“Nice to meet you, Head of the Red Union. The queen of fairies, Ravian…”
“What do you believe in?”
“… Yes?”
Ravian was a bit taken aback by the short words of the underground.
She looked at the others, but they all kept their mouths shut and said nothing.
Once underground, it was rooted in Red Union that everyone had their own thoughts and should not step out.
“There are two Uniques here, and Gasiel is in the city, so there are three Uniques. If this is enough, you can break down the walls of La Russa step by step and delicately dismantle the bones of citizens and soldiers, but why are you holding out?”
Labian was quite taken aback by the underground question, but she smiled lightly.
“The night is just beginning. You seem impatient.”
“No, I want to sleep soon. I sucked my ki.”
“…”
Ashira’s face flushed red and she lowered her head.
Labian let out a mischievous laugh and winked at her cutely. She would normally be cute even if she were a woman, but she is a mini-sized beauty and is full of charm.
“I think my story can cheer you up.”
“You must be full of energy. Whether that will be good for you guys or not is the question.”
Ravian nodded lightly and said.
“I’m here to make a deal with the commander.”
“Enlil, go and break the gates.”
“… What?”
The expressionless face of the underground, Enlil, was embarrassed but immediately ran out.
He really went out to break down the gates of La Russa.
“…”
Silence hung over the hall.
When Labian’s smile disappeared, Jiha smiled and said.
“I can’t control myself because my expectations are so high.”
“… He is a powerful person.”
“Did you go back to the happy hour, believing Gasiel’s words? Gyumal must have gone back and told me what I said.”
Ravian said with an effortless smile.
“If the newly launched Red Union comes out this strong, the citizens will be afraid and won’t follow it.”
Ravian doesn’t know the underground yet.
So the underground said further.
“As you know, after Enlil breaks down the gate, go in and kill as many soldiers as you can. Don’t bring troops. Do it yourself.”
“Follow orders…”
The moment Asira answered, Labian raised her voice.
“Wait! Wait for a sec!!”
Jiha reached out to block Asira.
Then, he looked at Labian, whose face had turned pale, and spoke quietly.
“So you’re saying don’t recklessly overcharge yourself?”
“…”
“You, you guys must have set up various premises. The Red Union is a faction that has just been launched. Twenty thousand soldiers will be needed by me. The merchants of La Russa have been in business for a long time, so do not carelessly
Will not deal with Even so, if I, the Queen of Fairies, go to visit her in person, she will not be rude.”
The words of the underground pierced the thoughts of Lavian, the merchants of La Russa.
“Could it be that you’re not crazy enough to try to kill them all?”
“…”
“Of course I am not crazy. If you’re crazy, you can’t gather kids like this and build your power.”
Looking at his subordinates one by one, he said.
Every time the gaze of the underground reaches, everyone is nervous and spirited.
“In my opinion, you guys are crazy people. I’m putting the lives of hundreds of thousands of citizens and 20,000 soldiers of La Russa first to protect your property. They use other people’s lives as shields to try to negotiate in my favor.”
“…”
Labian couldn’t say anything with his hard face.
“So I’m going to tell you in a bit of pain that a shield is useless for me.”
One unique breaks down the gate alone, and the next one goes in and slaughter only the soldiers.
If that’s the case, what will happen to the public sentiment in La Russa? Of course you will be terrified and panic.
He would be inclined to surrender unconditionally to the underground.
Merchants, the ruling class, and control of the market are also useless.
Powerless in the face of fear.
“Negotiation is with someone who has equal power or wants to be treated as equal. You guys are neither. It’s not that I don’t have power, and it’s ridiculous to see what I’m doing. You didn’t inform the citizens of Bona Mana of your policy, did you? Citizens can’t imagine negotiating with me as a shield with their lives?”
“…”
“All high-ranking people will take care of it, and you guys must be manipulating it to think that way. Are you throwing money and buying people to incite them? But after tonight, in a few days you won’t think so.”
Underground said calmly.
“Citizens will come to cut off your heads and offer them to me.”
“…”
Labian couldn’t answer with his pale face.
All of the subterranean words were true. As Enlil and Asira hit and run every night, spilling blood, the citizens would take up arms in fear.
Towards the merchants who spread their blood for no reason.
“Oh, of course… This might not be good for me either. Because the image of a tyrant may be overwritten. But wouldn’t it be better to be a tyrant than Hugoo?”
“…”
“What do you think? Now tell me.”
As the underground asked calmly, Labian palely trembled his wings.
“… I will surrender. Commander.”
She barely spoke in a hushed voice.
But she shook her head in the basement.
“What do you really believe in?”
“…”
“Did you really use the life of a citizen as a shield without believing in anything? Did she think she couldn’t kill a fairy queen? I think there must be something more.”
Fairies are not a race that excels in combat.
Although they are a beloved species because of their small size and cuteness, they are also good at playing pranks. There are times when the mischief is serious, but there are also times when they give their own blessings to the opponents they like.
“… Defeat the people around you. I want to talk to you alone.”
“Only Ashira is left. When Enlil returns, let him in.”
At Ji-ha’s words, the subordinates showed courtesy and left the barracks.
Labian saw Ashira remaining, but she shook her hand at the basement.
“When I go alone, the kids worry a lot. Gradually, I’ll try to pay more attention to personal safety.”
“… How could I dare to harm you?”
“Because your charm is so lethal.”
“…”
Labian looked at her dumbfounded, but she said as she rested her chin on the basement.
“A beautiful woman has come boldly to set up her bargain with me, and of course she looks attractive. Hey, Ashira, if you ever get possessed by you, she will stop you.”
“…”
Seeing Labian’s gaze, Ashira shut her mouth and averted her eyes.
The appearance of giving lots of compliments unlike underground, I thought there must be some twists and turns.
Underground railings, when they are driven, they push them to the edge of the cliff, and when they release them, they treat them kindly like a close friend.
Ravian also had a slightly relaxed face.
“… Thank you for a good look.”
“Don’t keep being lovable. Do you think your gift bag is bigger than your scepter? Release it.”
Ravian started talking cautiously.
“… La Russa is a city ruled by merchants. The fairies who have been living in this land and the lake for a long time, and the merchants who came after this fortune joined forces to prosper the city.”
“But what to do when I come?”
Labian nodded and glanced at Ashira.
Realizing that the praise that the basement suddenly changes, it is not literal.
‘You have a good eye? After all, it must have been the head of the fairies.’
Jiha will have Ashira carry out her order if the conversation is not to her liking.
Labian recognized that, and Jiha confirmed Labian’s intelligence and judgment.
Rabian said.
“The opinions of the fairies who follow me and the merchants who follow the rules are slightly different.”
“Because they haven’t been so amicable since before, they are playing the ruling party and the opposition party arguing with each other?”
“… I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it seems like you’re doing it on purpose. For example, when we gather troops, we find fault with the way we set the amount, whether we send envoys to the commander first or not.”
“That goes for you too.”
The conclusion to surrender to Rabian, Gyumal, and Jiha is the same.
However, in order to stick to each other’s way and suppress the other’s opinion, they bite down on trivial things.
“Because we can’t trust each other.”
“So which side are you on?”
“…”
Underground horse had bones.
Labian raised his head in surprise, and his basement was coldly watching.
“The fact that they are arguing with each other even with a knife under their neck means that they still have one last move. In the worst case, there is a calculation that even if you give up your property, you can save your life. I can’t speak without it…”
Words Land is weak-minded, and if he has no strength to protect himself, he has nothing to say even if he dies.
Citizens’ lives and image management as a new force came to the negotiating table believing in it? Still, if I had seen the underground myself, I had no choice but to completely revise my calculations.
However, like Kyu and Ravi, even though he was flustered that his calculations were wrong, he showed no signs of worrying about his life.
Above all, the fact that the heavenly king was not sending any support to Larussa, paradoxically, meant that there was a trap in the city.
Underground asked.
“Is it Ouroboros or Cheonho that you believe in?”
It only makes sense if you have the support of one of the two.
Aren’t merchants more sensitive to profit than anyone else?
