Iron Blood Conquers Expansion 443

Chapter 443 - Chapter 443

Jiha led 2,000 soldiers and left the mountain road.
On the mountain road, Yura, 9,000 troops, and Lunette were left behind, and the defense was firmly established.


Night.
Jiha, who camped, called Torai from the command barracks.
Torai Stormrider, Camilla's little brother, came in and scratched his head.

"What did you call for, brother?"
"I called you to write."

The attitude toward the commander-in-chief was not good, but Jiha didn't care.
But Torai belatedly tapped his snout and shook his head.

"Oh, sorry. Commander-in-Chief. I heard a lot of nagging from my sister that I shouldn't just call her hyung, but I forgot."
"I'm calling you. Do it on your own as long as it doesn't go out of line."

The basement drew a plain line.
Wordsland was a mixture of too many different races to rigidly define etiquette. So everyone is in the mood to go over something.
Underground didn't care too much if he wanted to be properly loyal to him.

"This is not a demon army. If you just listen to my commands and move properly, you'll be able to overcome most things. However, if you act plausible and have a different mind, your head will run away. Got it?"
"Yes, I understand."

A guy who has other thoughts while saying nice things with his mouth is rather annoying to deal with.
Torai was a guy who lacked discipline, but at least he wasn't a guy with a double heart.

"Then what do you think will happen now?"
"Yes?"

At Underground's question, Torai looked down at the map lying on his table and scratched his head.

"Well? Aren't you using the Snow Queen to force the 40,000 troops to retreat?"

It was no secret that the Snow Queen had joined the Red Union's army.
So, all of the 2,000 soldiers were not nervous at all, feeling like they were going on a picnic.
40,000 enemies? The blizzard will take care of it.

"That's what everyone thinks. I want a guy who reads before that."
"Uh, um..."

Torai tilted his head.
What will the Underworld gain by defeating the 40,000 army with the Snow Queen and the Blue Seal's 100,000 army?
When Torai grunted, Jiha gave a hint.

"For me, war is politics. It is the same this time."
"... Uh, wait. Uh. Brother, what are you really doing?"

Torai, who was thinking, turned into a stunned face.
It took a lot of time, but he noticed that Jiha had approximated the answer he wanted.
He's a good guy

"That's right. I break the blue seal in two in this battle."
"... Is that a cause?"

The Snow Queen steps in front of the Red Union and defeats the Blue Seal's army.
This fact did not end with mere local warfare.
The two legends who rule the Blue Seal, the Snow Queen, had numerous races following her.
The Snow Queen reigned, but she did not. She was in her seclusion, and she accepted unconditionally those who sought her protection.

Even if it was just Undine, he slipped away from Heaven's rule by saying he would follow the Snow Queen.

"When the Snow Queen throws her blizzard for the sake of the Red Union two days later, that alone becomes a political declaration. The 100,000 troops raised by Cheon-Ho will withdraw on their own, and this fight will not be a battle between the Red Union and the Blue Seals, but a picture of a fight between the Blue Seals."
"Then..."
"Yes, the species that were watching in Blue Seal will have a reason to join me."

Betrayal must also have a justification.
Doesn't it seem too rare to say that red union is popular just because it's popular?
It's not just picking up beautiful words to say that you have a thousand people when you betrayed in the past, or that you will turn your back on a traitor and find the right path.

Even though the momentum of Red Union's occupation of La Russa, Gadeon, and Mountain Road resonates in the sky, there is not much difference from Blue Seal.
It has the strength of Cheonho, but it is also because there is no reason to stick to Red Union.

"And I also dealt harshly with those who surrendered. Anyway, the cities that surrendered to me were all bloody."
"... Uh, right? I will not surrender to my brother either. I am just holding my breath."

Gyumal in Larussa and Todan in Gadeon.
Hodin on Mountain Road.
Everyone pretended to surrender but plotted, and Jiha slapped everyone in the neck.

However, from the perspective of a third party who does not know the details of the situation, the basement looks ruthless, and even if they know the situation, they will be reluctant to surrender quickly.

"Then make you surrender."
"Yes?"
"Take Camilla, 1,000 demons, and Yegrina. I will give you the right to negotiate on behalf of the Red Union, so bring as many tribes, cities, and villages to our side as possible. In the showdown with Yosaren, say that they will take good care of us later if you apply to us, or that they will treat you favorably even if you do not apply to Yosaren."

The basement continued.

"Go around the territory of Blue Seal and make a declaration. If they hear that the Snow Queen has come out, and if they know that Yegryna is in the camp, no one will attack with her troops."
"Oh, wait a minute. Wait for a sec..."
"Come after a round of the national tour."

Torai looked surprised and waved his hand.

"... I guess that's not my job? I am ranked 598th. Even if you're not my sister, you're always above me in the demon army here."
"That's your rank and it's none of my business. In the first place, the order of those demons..."

The basement thought for a moment and said.

"It's just one-on-one, individual combat power. That alone is not enough to identify real talent."
"But mostly you are right. And why would those in the lower ranks listen to me? Will you snort?"
"Then Vera."

The basement said firmly.

"This is the military name. During this mission, your words are mine, so if you don't obey, behead them. Report after that."

It was an unconventional right, the authority to report candidates for preliminary action.
Although it only has 1,000 troops, it is the best fighting group in terms of unit combat power, as the strongest unique, Yegrina, is attached to Camilla, who is ranked 5th in the idiot ranks.
To entrust it to himself, who had a reputation as a torturer, Torai swallowed dryly.

"... Gee, are you serious? Older brother?"
"It is true that you lack discipline. But I don't care if I want to be a talented person. Whether it's normal or rare, no matter how many ranks you need, use the one you need."

Torai had a wide field of vision.
Jiha just gave a hint, so he made his own reasoning, and he was quite a brainy guy in Jiha's eyes.
Although it's a gem disease to keep the military discipline.

"Ah, but I wonder if my sister will listen to me..."
"It's the opposite. Attaching Camilla is to use it. Make your words and Camilla's words equally acceptable to the army."

Although Torai had discernment and wisdom, his leadership skills were lacking.
Conversely, Camilla lacks strategic insight, but has excellent tactical wisdom and leadership skills.

"I give you full power, but use Camilla. Let the brother and sister become one and faithfully fulfill their duties."
"Then you should tell my sister directly..."
"If I do that, I won't bow down properly to you. You go and convince yourself. That's your first mission. Roll your head well and try it."

It's so easy to achieve when the underground presses Camilla. Under
However, in order to properly use the Torai, I had to take off the first button properly.
Camilla, who is in a position to follow the orders of her advisor's brother overnight, will be angry inside, but she will be cooperative in the end because she cares for her brother in her heart.

"Come on, it's the commander in chief."

Jiha handed over the military command written in advance.
The military command, which gave Torai full authority to act as a guerrilla unit, had 1,000 heads, but it was a great privilege given that Yegrina belonged to it and that the underground directly appointed it.

"Tongue, brother..."

Tears welled up in Torai's eyes as he held the military command in his hand.
Seeing tears welling up in his narrow eyes, Jiha laughed.

"Is it that good?"
"Oh, no. You're so embarrassed I'm so flustered... To think you would entrust it to an ugly bastard like me..."
"You must have been a troublemaker and troublemaker among the demons."

Among the Demons, who value rank, Torai, who lacks discipline and frequently makes mistakes, must have been seen as just a misfit.
Camilla's age difference is because I'm her younger brother, so there must be a few parts that she looked after.

"But Red Union is different. Anyone can write as long as they can write. You are the second hitter."

The first was Brang, but he declined himself.
Crying Dun Torai vigorously raised his head.

"Thank you! Older brother! Mission! I will definitely risk my life to do it!!"
"Don't walk. It is not a call to fight, but a call to pressure and conciliate. Yegrina is a deterrent, fighting is rather a loss."

What the underground wanted was to bring as many people as possible here in preparation for Yosaren's decisive battle.
If the guy sent to convince you fights, it's rather inconsistent.

"Of course, I'm not saying you shouldn't fight even if a knife comes into your throat, just do it in moderation, focusing on appeasement. Got it?"
"All right!!"
"Okay, go. Get ready and leave tomorrow morning. Take this."

Underground handed over a preliminary map.

"If you look there, the races and cities that need to be persuaded are listed up to the 20th priority. I wrote down the order, but you judge according to the situation."
"... Brother, are you sleeping?"

Torai, who was wiping away tears, was frightened. It's surprising that such a big picture was created, but it's so detailed.

"I'm going to sleep now. Go and convince Camilla and get ready to leave."
"Ah, I see. Loyalty!!"

Torai spoke loudly and left with a fluttering pace.
My steps were thrilled at the thought of an opportunity that had suddenly fallen, and that a superior would directly support it.

'There won't be any big problems as long as I send Yegrina along...'

Now, two days later, when the Snow Queen summons a blizzard in front of 40,000 troops, the picture of this war changes completely.
There is room for interpretation of the fight between the Snow Queen and Cheonho and a family quarrel.
The Torai is sent to eat the spoils.

"Now..."

The basement rose from its seat.



White barracks.
In the quiet silence, where the soldiers didn't even come close, a single torch burned with a small sound.
The basement went inside without hesitation.
The Snow Queen, who was sitting in her chair, glanced back.

"Get out."
"This is my army, a camp set up by my men. It is my home."

Jiha said lightly, brought a chair, and sat down with the Snow Queen.
Still within the Dead Zone's influence, the Snow Queen cannot call her blizzard.

She made a very disgusted face, but didn't get up.
Isn't it the body that decided to cooperate with the underground anyway.

"So, have you decided what to do next?"
"I hate to talk."
“If your thoughts are short, I will lengthen them. Cheonho had been conducting experiments related to the Demon Emperor from a long time ago. That red magic power.”
"Lie..."

The Snow Queen, who reflexively tried to retort, shut her mouth.
Seeing Cheonho's alter ego, the red silhouette, and Hodin's transformation, she couldn't help but understand what that meant.
That everything underground is true.

When the Snow Queen fell silent, the basement got up and brought the teapot. Her snow queen set her glass down in front of her bed and stared down at her basement as she poured her tea.

"What?"
"It's going to be a long story, so let's have some tea. Even if you don't want to talk, I have a lot to hear."

There were several things to check with Legend.
The Snow Queen stared at the steaming car in front of her.

She soon grabbed the teacup.
She said downstairs.

"It's time to beg me to accept you as a subordinate, white boy."


It's a start.
There was a war to secure her cause by putting her Snow Queen before the Red Union.
