Chapter 413 – Chapter 413 to the Third Gateway-10
Three days have passed since the underground and 1,000 soldiers stayed in the outer fortress.
The soldiers of the Red Union sometimes plundered the property of private houses and molested women and children.
Arrogantly as if Mountain Road were completely home, the Goonies hated the army of the Red Union and were reluctant to get involved.
However, the castle lord, Hodin, who should now be called the old castle lord, did not take any action and was really preparing to leave.
Late at night, Hodin’s room.
“Are you really going to go on like this?”
Hodin shook his head at the words of the vassal who secretly came.
“From now on, please take good care of Lunette and take care of the people.”
“The ancestors of the lord of the castle have kept this mountain road for over a thousand years. But how can you abandon your duty like a devoted couple! If you’re ready to die right now, pick up your weapon and fight…”
“There is Unique over there. And even if that’s not the case, there are only 4,000 soldiers in the castle.”
“Even if there are 9,000 over there, most of the demons who recently surrendered won’t really fight. If the defeat of the Red Union deepens, a change will surely happen.”
“You can’t risk people’s lives on vague odds. It’s just something I have to endure alone. Go away.”
When Hodin spoke mildly, the vassal stepped out with a look of disappointment.
Hodin, who was left alone, relaxed his expression and let out a deep sigh.
“Stupid bastards…”
Hodin’s face was full of dissatisfaction as he spat curses at someone older than his father.
When he kept his mouth shut, he was a mild-mannered boy, but his eyes were burning with ambition.
“Anyway, I don’t have a specific plan, but I just talk loudly. I know you do this because you like me…”
Hodin grumbles, but suddenly the window on his balcony opens wide.
Hodin quickly straightened his expression and looked back.
There was a woman with dark purple hair on her back against the darkness.
Even Hodin, who usually hides his true feelings, was a beauty that took his breath away.
“Who, who are you?”
“Yegrina Valentier.”
It was a name that Hodin, a unique dragon, had also heard.
I heard that you recently got caught by a blue seal and you’re doing the same thing?
“… Are you here to kill me?”
“Jim doesn’t do such trivial things. I came because I had something to offer, so do not tremble, weak life.”
When Yegrina spoke softly, Hodin unknowingly became furious.
Everyone hated and sympathized with him because of his weak body and lack of magic.
Still, there was no one who openly did this in front of the lord of the castle.
However, in the eyes of Yegrina, who is a unique and dragon, most of them could be killed with a single finger.
Hodin swallowed his anger and said.
“I will listen, dragon.”
“Do you know the origin of this surname?”
“… I only know that I was given the lordship by a very powerful being.”
“That powerful being is the dragon, Jim’s father’s father.”
Hodin, the lord of the castle, had also heard of it for the first time.
But there was no reason for Yegrina to come to her crap.
“Is that true?”
“Yes, this is also related. I will take pity on you and help you.”
“…”
Hodin shook his head in a complicated way for a moment.
Could it be a trap?
But underground, there is no reason for the Red Union to come up with such a complex trap.
If you’re going to catch Hodin, isn’t it a matter of sending Yegrina to kill him?
Yegrina spoke softly.
“If you don’t want Jim’s help, that’s fine too. Carving out her own future is the way to go in life.”
“… It’s a very sudden story, so I’ll have to think about it for a while.”
“Didn’t Cheonho give you a nameplate? If it were her, she would have secretly sent her person to seduce you by giving you her nameplate.”
Hodin tried to remove the hour hand, but gave up.
Yegrina really knew everything.
It was better if she said that she would help, if it was true.
“… Yes, that’s right.”
“They must have intended to use it to activate the dead zone. But you know what? That doesn’t guarantee your safety.”
“… If we surprise, I think we have a good chance of winning.”
Hodin said frankly.
In fact, he, too, was struggling with this plan alone.
The dead zone is a story secretly passed down only to the lord of the castle.
I don’t know where the information might leak if I told my vassals.
However, Yegrina, who is said to be the blood of the creator of this castle, knows everything.
Hodin looked blankly at Yegrina without even realizing it.
Beauty like a goddess of the night, her dark purple hair flutters slightly in the wind coming through the window.
Hodin shuddered at Yegrina’s beauty.
It’s not just because it’s beautiful, it’s because it’s intuition.
The descendants of the person who built this castle in the distant past and the person in charge of this castle are now facing each other in this era.
Wouldn’t it be fate to see this?
Yegrina said.
She said, “Will you trust Cheon-ho, the wise fox, to activate the Dead Zone, or will you trust Jim, the descendant of the creator of this castle, and fight? Lord of the present age. I have no theories about your decision.”
“…”
Even if you activate the dead zone, the troop gap won’t be filled.
Hodin intended to procrastinate as much as possible, and then launch an ambush when the Snow Queen arrives.
What kind of action will the underground take if you use your illness as an excuse to endure resistance?
If you look at the steps of the underground, you are completely careless.
If you activate the dead zone in that careless gap…
“If you know the Dead Zone, then you know the Red Union too… No, even if you knew, there is no reason to send you to encourage me.”
Hodin, who had doubts, realized that it made no sense.
Although he is good at hiding her insides compared to his age, he suddenly loses his guard when he faces Yegrina.
She is also a beauty, so this meeting felt fateful.
Hodin pressed her heavy chest and looked at Yegrina.
“Will you help me, dragon?”
“Jim is kind to the fighting life.”
Yegrina laughed.
Underground barracks.
Brang, who came carefully to avoid being seen by others, confided.
“I can’t see Yegrina-nim.”
“I was sent to introspection. He should be meeting Hodin right now.”
“Yes?”
Was there a plan going on?
Unbeknownst to his lieutenant, Brang, underground work was often done this way.
But what I’m telling you again is that you need to know.
Brang asked nervously.
“What can I do?”
“I’m starting to notice a little faster now.”
Brang, who was stubborn and stiff at first sight, has been reborn as a steady lieutenant.
The underground said with satisfaction.
“Among the people who have caused trouble in private houses so far, there are people who have gained notoriety in particular, right? Pick them up and make them do it again. Encourage the Mountain Road soldiers to attack, and cause an armed conflict pretending to be a coincidence.”
“… We have 1,000, there are 4,000. Moreover, the citizens are on their side, and we have no geographic advantage.”
“You won’t believe Yegrina, will you?”
“…”
It seems out of the blue, but it’s a question that is all over the inside of Brang.
Brang cautiously nodded his head.
“She is… It’s a bit different from other UNIQ people. She doesn’t know what’s inside, and it doesn’t seem like she’s truly loyal to the commander. It wouldn’t be strange to me even if I stick to the Mountain Road side.”
“That is correct.”
Ordinary soldiers regarded Yegrina as just a reliable ally.
Bran was looking straight ahead.
“Yes? But why did you send me to the palace?”
Didn’t she let go even though she knew that Yegrina could be attached to the enemy if things went wrong?
The basement was succinctly explained.
“It is better to be an enemy from the beginning than to suddenly become an enemy.”
“…”
It meant that it was better to be in the enemy camp than to be the enemy in the middle of the friendly camp.
Brang accepted that, but he was thinking about whether or not to activate the underground dead zone.
It was not difficult to predict that Cheonho would have given the nameplate to Hodin.
As Yura said, she secretly made one of the women she was in charge of contact Hodin, and then gave her nameplate.
‘Cheonho’s alter ego is enough to suppress even Enlil, so it’s enough to activate the dead zone. But why is it taking time…’
Cheonho was plotting behind the scenes while pretending to do nothing in Yosaren.
Assuming that the basement does not know the dead zone, and even if it does know it, it sets a double trap to make it look like it cannot fulfill the trigger condition.
It was clear when you combine the information and the reason why Hodin, who is a normal level, rolls his head like that.
Why doesn’t the underground activate right away even though it enters resistance?
‘… They’re waiting for the Snow Queen to arrive.’
Cheonho’s plot was meticulous.
While expanding the dead zone, I plan to make the underground and the snow queen fight and attack.
It is the collaboration of two legends.
Or, if it’s necessary, I’m thinking of getting rid of both.
“Jijay’s two-way deal, it’s quite the process.”
Jiha sat across from him and praised the fox making the board.
When the demon army fell, Cheonho also came out seriously. He pretended to do nothing and set a double or triple trap.
If things went well, the underground was eliminated, and the Snow Queen was also defeated, so that she would become the sole ruler of the Blue Seal.
“… If even Yegrina is attached to the enemy, we are in danger. Commander.”
Brang spoke cautiously.
Even if the underground has the power to suppress Yegrina, the number of her troops makes a difference.
Fighting in enemy territory is at a disadvantage.
“That’s why you induce and hit the enemy.”
“… It will be a mess.”
“No, it won’t.”
At the words of the underground, Bran became relieved and looked forward to it.
Although the current game is very unfavorable, it is clear that Jiha has a plan to win.
“Are you here?”
As Ji-ha said to the outside, In-young entered as if she had been waiting.
It was the red-haired succubus, Yura Hyred.
“Ah…”
How could she be here when she has to manage 8,000 soldiers out there?
When Brang was very flustered, Jiha laughed.
“When the troops move, they get caught. But if you move alone, you don’t know.”
Moreover, since Yura can fly, she could avoid people’s eyes in the dark.
Brang hastily said.
“But if Lady Camilla rebels…”
“Because of that, the enemies don’t even think that Yura will come in.”
“…”
The basement said calmly.
Of the 8,000 Red Unions left outside, 4,000 are demonic troops that have just surrendered.
So, everyone thought that she couldn’t summon Yura.
However, the basement has already had a hand in Camilla. Being harassed as a woman, she couldn’t hold her head up recklessly to the basement, and also put shackles on it.
What did the demon army have to do to defeat the underground?
Camilla, an old veteran, wanted to know the answer. She had her desire to be taught by her opponent who had pushed her.
The double shackles that neither as a general nor as a woman can resist the underground.
Camilla would not dare to rebel.
‘But Hodin overlooks this. Because she’s a kid who doesn’t know the relationship between a man and a woman.’
He concludes that Camilla is simply holding a grudge against the basement.
Her underground was to induce Hodin’s misjudgment while harassing Camilla in front of Lunette.
Everything in the world, it’s up to you to use it.
Underground even used the position of the demons who had just surrendered.
Camilla only touches her and that’s why it’s over.
If you hug me, it might go wrong when you use it like this.
Thanks to this, the enemies never dreamed that Yura would be able to join them.
“Brang, you don’t trust Camilla, and you don’t trust Yegrina. Because she had just surrendered. Because I don’t know what’s inside.”
“…”
Brang nodded involuntarily.
“You, our ally, think so too, so of course your enemies think so too. I think I can’t summon Yura, and I believe that Yegrina will really betray me.”
The basement rose from its seat.
“That is my goal.”
Although Hodin thinks that the basement has been let loose.
That was the enemy’s carelessness that the underground was aiming for.
“Go, Yura.”
It’s time to give this succubus, who is eager to get his credit, a chance.
