Chapter 662 – Episode 662: Final Skirmish-18
“Uh huh.”
“Surrender. What the hell is this…”
The leaders of the city federation deliberately frowned.
But in the meantime, he steals Bellani’s beauty and looks at Endymion holding her hand in displeasure.
Either that or not, Endymion shouted vigorously.
“What else can I do but surrender? Outside, there is the leader of the Red Union and the Snow Queen. And in a few days, Cheonho will come. How will you win against two legends with only 40,000 troops?”
“…”
“You assured me that the Snow Queen and Cheonho would not actually be cooperative with the Red Union, and would wish for the restoration of the Blue Seal. Is that like this now?”
When Endymion was sarcastic, people made angry faces.
“In terms of precedence, it wasn’t a problem that you recklessly attacked the night, Lord Endymion?”
“How dare you say anything when things have gotten into such trouble while trying to pay for your failure to return after losing all your soldiers?”
“Yes, I admit I did a night raid rather carelessly. Still, I was fully prepared. Only a handful of cavalrymen led out, and if anything happened, only me and my men would end up dead. But didn’t you all think this was an opportunity and step out recklessly?”
“Because this person wants to see you…”
“Where’s the loud sound of the shield!”
The leaders of the city federation were furious.
Even when you surrender, you must not show weakness. After surrendering to the Red Union, shouldn’t we eat well and live well?
Hedelion was watching his audience with a wry smile.
Endymion uttered a passionate speech.
“Anyway, as long as there is the Snow Queen, it’s over! Don’t you know? The leader of the Red Union designed this battlefield from the ground up! Not knowing where the Snow Queen was, she kept hiding and swept away our army at the last minute!”
“…”
“Because Cheonho was rampaging in front, and since the Snow Queen had been in seclusion for a long time before, she naturally assumed that she would not be involved in this war. No. Now you have to accept it for sure. The leader of the Red Union has perfect control over Heaven and the Snow Queen!”
People shut up.
Even if I didn’t like it, I couldn’t refute Endymion’s words.
“I saw the head of the Red Union firsthand. He was a man full of strength and energy, and he was simply unmatched.”
“So, in the end, let’s surrender?”
“What other alternatives do you have? Night raid? Do you think they will not be wary of night raids?”
As Endymion sighed, Hedelion finally opened his mouth.
“At least it won’t use a blizzard.”
“You must be digging another trap. Above all, the morale of the soldiers is hitting the ground! Tens of thousands of allies froze to death in a blizzard, but now go out and fight in the field again? You have no idea what the front-line soldiers are thinking!”
“…”
Endymion was the one who knew the life of a front-line soldier best in this place. As a bastard, he started as a bottom soldier and came all the way here.
Endymion clenched his fists and sighed.
“The soldiers are afraid. Yes, we are only now hastily preparing winter equipment. But it’s not enough. Even if you have equipment, what will you do? It’s not like you can catch the Snow Queen.”
The Snow Queen’s blizzard can only last for a short while.
If you could just ignore it and tackle it just because you were wearing thick clothes, you wouldn’t even be called a legend.
The closer you get to the Snow Queen, the lower the temperature, freezing her from the inside.
“We have no time, no troops, no morale. Now we have to break our will and raise the white flag.”
“I understand what your brother said. But why did you bring Bellani-sama?”
“I need to ensure her safety.”
Hedelion used honorifics to Endymion, and Endymion treated her with short words.
It was a complicated relationship between the older brother who was in charge of military affairs as the bastard and the younger brother who became the lord of the castle as the deficit.
Bellany shook her head slowly.
“No. If this is the case, please return her letter and ask for reconciliation. Red Union will not accept it unless you are sincere.”
“…”
Everyone knew that Bellani had fled to the city federation because Bellani refused the request of the head of the Red Union, underground.
But what if the City Alliance surrenders to the Red Union? She can’t predict her future.
Of course, Barota sent her back once, but people in this room were completely unaware of what happened at that time.
Because she did not share her information with others because of her ambition to catch the legend and become the number one factor in the city federation.
“Hmm…”
“Mmm.”
People cast dark glances at Belany.
Do you have to hand over a dark elf that sucks like that to the enemy? Before that, the thoughts of wanting to taste it are clearly visible.
Belany entrusted himself to Hedelion, so the other castle lords couldn’t openly fight. But when things go like this, do we need to pay attention?
“So what do you think, brother?”
“You and Bellani-nim should get married.”
“To?”
Hedelion and everyone else were dumbfounded. Bellani herself was just doing her complex face.
Endymion was adamant.
In his eyes, Belani, who was heartbroken after losing everything, was a poor man.
Her Endymion, who talked with her, thought of protecting her as her short-term mission.
“Even if the leader of the Red Union is an insolent bastard, he won’t be able to touch you carelessly if he becomes your wife. Because we also have face for those of us who surrendered.”
“… Brother, you are saying such foolish things.”
Hedelion shook her head slowly.
“The winner gets everything. And if the city alliance surrenders, it will be difficult for me to remain. Of course, I can offer it for you guys, but being my wife doesn’t guarantee Bellani-sama’s safety.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Exactly.”
The people unanimously agreed and looked at Bellany greedily.
Since I’m going to surrender anyway, can’t I taste it before sending it back to the enemy?
The impulsive lust young in the eyes of the four men, the leaders of the city federation had their eyes turned on her bewitching body.
“…”
Bellany just lowered her head and was silent.
As if she had to endure men’s greedy gazes, as if it was her destiny to be tainted and fall into the clutches of the Red Union.
Endymion gritted his teeth and held her hand tightly.
“Then… I will protect her.”
“Lord Endymion. You don’t have to do that for her notebook…”
When Bellany called in her surprised voice, Endymion shook her head resolutely.
“It is the pride of a knight to protect the poor. She cannot be turned away.”
“I understand your feelings, but don’t they completely conflict with what you just said at length? If you say that she can’t be defeated by Red Union, how are you going to protect her?”
Hedelion smiled bitterly at her.
It was the gaze of a child’s complaint.
“I will negotiate with the head of the Red Union myself.”
“I have no intention of entrusting the role to my older brother. And we haven’t even lost yet.”
Hadelion said quietly.
“We still have 40,000 troops. I still have a lot of energy. We still have the strength to fight.”
“What the hell…”
Hedelion crossed her legs and said calmly.
“Do you think I didn’t assume the worst?”
“…”
People’s faces brightened as they said that they had something to believe in.
On the other hand, Endymion’s face hardened.
It reminded me of what the underground said, the story of Hedelion and Ouroboros holding hands.
And now, Hedelion’s attitude is that he has something to believe in.
“You…”
Rattle!
The door opened and a soldier rushed in.
“Iris Vallia has come to the gates! He wants you to open the door!”
“Is there a Knights of the Unicorn?”
Hedelion asked right away, and the soldier shook his head.
“He only took this one, who seemed to be an attendant.”
“Let it in at once. I have enough boundaries.”
When Hedelion spoke, the soldier saluted and left.
The return of Iris, people naturally brightened their faces, but Endymion shook his head.
He was a man who knew war.
“It’s not something to be happy about. Either the unicorn knights were wiped out, or she surrendered.”
“Yes?”
“What does it mean to be in front of the gates when you are surrounded by the Red Union? No matter how strong Iris is and how swift the unicorn is, she couldn’t have broken through alone, and she must have had the connivance or permission of the Red Union.”
The crowd subsided.
After hearing it, Endymion was right.
Hadelion tidied things up lightly.
“Once she comes, let’s share her story.”
While the other four were silent, Endymion took a chair with his own hands and sat down.
Then the leaders of the city federation frowned.
Although Endymion was known on the battlefield in his own way, in the end, he was not a field commander or a political person.
“I am the only one who faced the head of the Red Union. And he deserves to be a representative of the soldiers.”
Everyone was displeased with Endymion’s argument.
Although the words are plausible, both in terms of status and experience, Endymion is not in a position to enter this position.
Of course… Although they have the ability to command on the battlefield, each castle owner did not want to admit it straight away.
“…”
People looked at Hedelion, but he said nothing as he drank his tea.
“Bellani, please sit here.”
Endymion dragged his remaining chair and made a seat next to him. Bellany shook his head and tried to decline, but Endymion forced him to sit down.
“People look at me strangely when I stand there. Be proud.”
“…”
“…”
Then the men’s eyes turned to Bellani’s thighs.
Bellany was wearing a blue body-conscious dress, but when he sat down, the length of the skirt was so short that he could easily see his underwear.
He was in the position to make a crucial decision whether or not to surrender, but lust took precedence over his men.
Dark elves are proud, and only marry among themselves.
Marriage was more closed than elves’, and they had a strong tendency to pursue honor and pride, so it was a caution that they would rather commit suicide than mix their bodies with other races.
So, even if he was in power, he could not control the Dark Elves at will.
Even Cheon-ho was fond of a few Dark Elves.
But isn’t Belany just like a fruit that has fallen to the ground?
He has nowhere to turn to, a body with nowhere to go, if he has to hand it over to the enemy anyway, wouldn’t he be able to taste it himself before that?
The men who kept repeating such thoughts exchanged glances with each other. Knowing that the person next to you has the same thoughts, you start to check them.
Who will be the one to take that woman?
Belany, in his pensiveness, was unaware of the greedy glances at her.
“…”
Endymion took off her jacket and laid it on Bellany’s thigh. Bellany looked at him incredulously.
“This…”
“Because it looks cold. Cover it.”
“Thank you…”
Bellani was shy, but the men were once again glaring at Endymion.
Wouldn’t it be annoying if you were trying to pick up fruit that had fallen on the ground and some weird guy barked and spoiled the atmosphere?
Strange air in silence, Hedelion was drinking tea in silence.
Click.
The door opened and two men in full body armor entered.
Iris is the one ahead.
The person behind was underground.
The leader of the Red Union faced the enemy’s leadership.
