Chapter 142 – Elroy Reunion
“What? No! I’m going with you.”
Those were the first words Eunseo answered when asked to stay and defend the place.
She knew how to react.
“In the first place, what will change if I stay here? Nothing will change if one more person is added.”
There was a mixture of anxiety, self-help, and helplessness in Eunseo’s voice.
Is it because the people I met after leaving the unit were all strong men who were above nobles?
Self-esteem is quite low.
Eunseo was underestimating her own abilities.
“Did you forget? You are of noble blood. Viscount Barrier was a wizard with certain skills, regardless of his personality.”
“That person is that person. Not like me.”
“No, you can do it too. You can also use strategic magic. Obviously.”
Eunseo was the only defense mage in the 5 hunting team I commanded in the hunting unit.
‘It wasn’t standard.’
In small fights with groups of three or more, the ideal squad should have one defense mage in every three.
However, Eunseo was the only one who used defensive magic in our group.
It was because I, who saw Eunseo’s magic in person, decided that it would be enough, and in fact, she skillfully used her defense power, which was more than enough to cover all eleven people.
Eun-seo was born with powerful magical powers, befitting her aristocratic lineage.
She must have had an excellent aptitude for strategic magic.
Just as Viscount Barrier created a huge barrier separating the Empire and the Kingdom of Ratel, Eunseo can create a barrier that completely covers her entire line.
Strategic magic specialized only in defense.
From the viewpoint of the Empire, where Baron Zardonis, the vanguard with the most outstanding breakthrough power, was helplessly destroyed by the King of Wheels, it is obvious that he will not be able to easily break through it.
“Brother… That’s nonsense. How easy is strategic magic? I’m a citizen of the Empire, and I don’t have a relationship of trust with the people here. Even if I had talent, I wouldn’t be able to get any efficiency out of it.”
“I’ll fix it.”
“That…”
“Don’t say you can’t.”
Eunseo shut her mouth.
Strategic magic is magic that is carried out under the agreement of all those who exchange magical power, so I agree a hundred times that a relationship of trust is important.
Trust relationship?
If I say ‘Trust in Shin Eunseo’ in a hypnotic voice, that’s it.
It seems that Eunseo still doesn’t fully understand how powerful magic is to manipulate people.
I was also manipulated and eaten, and still.
“Shin Eunseo. Don’t worry about useless things and make a decision. Use your strength for the sake of the princess.”
Wolf Dance interrupted Eunseo who hesitated.
I felt like I couldn’t understand why he was so hesitant.
It is like a wolf dance that is not at all inferior to Jia in terms of loyalty to me.
Going through a series of events in the south of Daejeon, the wolf literally gave his soul to me.
To her, I am a hero, and her definition is who she is.
I follow any order and will do anything for my sake.
It may be blind faith or loyalty close to madness.
That’s cute though
By the way, Jia, Wolf Dance, and Rudy were scheduled to be taken.
And they nodded without hesitation at my words.
As if there was no need for detailed explanations.
“Well, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to stay.”
“Huh? Was that okay?”
“Since most of the Strategic Wizards are dead, the soldiers here will make great sacrifices while the King of Shades is away. But it doesn’t matter to me. You’re more important to me, Eunseo. Do whatever you want.”
“How dare you say that. It’s cowardly…”
Eunseo pursed her lips.
Dealing with Eunseo has been my specialty since my days in the hunting unit.
Eun-seo is basically good-natured and has a strong sense of responsibility.
Having said that, there’s no way I can refuse in the end.
“I’ll do it.”
“Good job.”
Eunseo smiles as she pats her hair.
“Then you should reward me.”
“Sang? Are you going to fuck my brother’s cock?”
“Yes. To use the newly acquired magic.”
“It’s fortunate. You’ve been out too much lately. It’s her sister’s duty to deal with her older brother’s sexual desire… I couldn’t do that, so I masturbated every day and waited.”
Eunseo speaks her twisted common sense with her sane face.
Even Eunseo and I are completely strangers.
Believing me to be her older brother and being unable to control her sexual desire, Eunseo might be the most perverted of us.
I made it that way, but that’s it.
“Master…”
“Then we are.”
Jia and Wolf Dancer approached with dissatisfied faces.
Well, it seems that these days, I’ve been relatively neglectful of them because I’ve been working hard on attacking the King of Wheels.
I was thinking of casting strengthening magic on everyone anyway, so did it work?
“Yes. Let’s all do it together today.”
He smiles and speaks in a low voice.
Starting with Jia’s ears pricked up, the women’s expressions were half mixed with anticipation and lustful passion.
In particular, the cold-looking Wolf Dancer even blushed and liked her.
In fact, I must have been holding back the desire to bet on me right now, to lose, and to get eaten.
“Princess, from now on…”
“No, wait a minute. I have someone to bring, so let’s do it in the evening.”
“Another immoral king, is that woman? She already cared enough about her.”
It’s not because of my mood that my voice is cold.
Even if he didn’t open up like Eunseo, he seemed to be disappointed with the wolf dance.
A wolf dance expressing dissatisfaction with red eyes.
Actually, the person to bring was not the King of Fair Wheels, but it was the same as another woman anyway, so he didn’t say much.
“I couldn’t stand it for long and passed out anyway. It’s okay if one person increases, right?”
“What…”
“No?”
“…”
Of course, Wolf couldn’t deny it.
So it would be a lie
The luscious silver hair and flushed skin matched well.
The wolf dancer avoided my gaze and stepped back.
Is it to hide your shame?
She turned her words around.
“…It won’t take long to bring the King of Wheels. Will it take until evening?”
“Who said the King of Fair Wheels was brought? The one I’m bringing is Elro.”
“She’s the aristocrat I met the other day. Wasn’t she a strategy mage in the Imperial Army? She should be on the other side of the line by now.”
“That’s right.”
“You answer so easily. How the hell are you going to bring such an important person?”
“Just.”
When I gave a rough answer with a single smile, Wolf Dance, Jia, and Eunseo kept their mouths shut.
Because at times like this, she knows that no matter what she says, it’s useless.
That if I needed their strength to bring Elroy, I would have already asked for it.
Gia let out her sigh.
“Master. What is the reason for your sudden change of heart? You said that the commander would not touch you until you defeated the emperor because he had various positions.”
“I read the diary left by the father of the King of Fair Wheels. I think Elroy will be needed to destroy the secret number hidden by the Emperor and Gray.”
“A secret demand? What the hell is that?”
“Even the former king who left the journal didn’t know the identity of the magic, but it’s almost certain from the circumstances. The extent of the Emperor’s miasma… In other words, he exploits and uses mana from humans within the ecliptic. Considering that strategic magic is being used on an incredibly large scale. It will be.”
“Yes…?!”
He said it as if it was no big deal, but Jia jumped up.
That’s also true, the population of the ecliptic is 10 million.
Even the most outstanding strategic magician I knew could handle 15,000 mana at most.
The power of the king of charades would be about that.
It was hard to imagine how powerful that magic would be if it was a 10 million units of strategic magic.
In the journal, it was written that the enemy power outside the ecliptic and inside was unusually different.
Just before Gray died, he had said that he would not be able to take it easy in the ecliptic.
Normally, only the body would be damaged by handling so much magic, but if the emperor and gray were resurrected anyway, they could handle magic beyond the limit without worrying about that.
‘But it’s by no means invincible.’
There is no such thing in this world.
In fact, the father of the King of Fair Wheels succeeded in assassinating Gray and the emperor in a surprise attack.
Although they failed in the end because they were resurrected.
If it were me, I could take the miasma from the emperor, or even if it was difficult, I could at least prevent him from being revived.
Because it’s the same poison user.
The odds are good enough.
“I will be back.”
“…”
Jia is clearly nervous.
Even so, it might be a natural reaction since he said he would go to the camp of the enemy.
Being escorted by the women, he went outside and went to see the King of Parryun.
I have already told the King of Wheels about the plan.
He was going to borrow her leg, so she was right.
The King of Fair Wheels lifted me up without saying a word.
I just ran off the ground lightly, but there was a speed that most people couldn’t even see.
I held onto her shoulders tightly to keep from bouncing off.
Within minutes of running, we were blocked by a transparent wall.
It was Viscount Barrier’s barrier dividing the border.
It is free to enter from the Imperial Army side, but intrusion from the Ratel Kingdom will be blocked.
The king of chaos put me down and clenched his fists.
“Wait a minute. I’ll drill a small hole.”
“No, wait. Then you might find out.”
Make the King of the Wheel retreat and approach the barrier.
When I touched it, the surface of the barrier shook like a wave, and there was a space for me and the King of Fair Wheels to pass through.
“Did you use poison?”
“No. I knew the magic unlock code when I controlled Viscount Barrier. Without it, it would be inconvenient for allies to retreat, so I thought it would be there. I’ll do the same when infiltrating the ecliptic. This will take a long time.”
“Did you foresee that something like this would happen and prepare for it?
The King of Fair Wheels looks at me with an expression that he saw again.
To be honest, I didn’t think that deeply, but I didn’t bother to correct the misunderstanding.
After passing through the barrier, we hid ourselves on the outskirts of the Imperial camp.
The size of the camp is very large.
However, the boundary could not be said to be thorough.
This is because most of the guards did not pay much attention to the front line.
It could be seen that Viscount Barrier’s barrier was highly trusted.
That worked to our advantage.
“How strong are your troops?”
“It’s the size of a combined corps of strategic magicians and four regular soldiers. The actual combat force is 400,000. If the information is clear, the strategic wizards have sixteen.”
“It’s less than I thought. It’s just a part of the Imperial Army. So, it’s a similar number to the Ratel Kingdom Army.”
“It’s a war that started considering the numerical inferiority in the first place. Rather than that, is it really enough to wait here?”
“That’s right. Wait. I’ll come back from there.”
“It’s dangerous to stay in one place too long. I can’t wait more than an hour.”
Hide yourself and wait for a while.
After about thirty minutes, I saw something pink in the edge of my field of vision.
I twitched my lips and smiled.
It was Elroy.
I don’t know what status she has now, but it will definitely not be any lower than she was before.
She couldn’t have gone out alone.
Is it an aide or an escort?
Elroy, who appeared accompanied by a few people, appeared in a large circle as if inspecting her unit.
Where she moves, what barracks she stays.
So that you can know at a glance even from the outskirts.
“I can’t believe it. It really came out in person.”
“Because I said you can find out where I am. You must have been frightened when you noticed that I was near the Imperial Army.
“Is the author the Earl of Greypoint? He was given the title of General at the age of just coming of age… He seems to be an outstanding talent. If it’s an enemy, he’s the first thing to eliminate.”
Can you see Elroy from this far away?
The King of Fair Wheels muttered with the eyes of a cold warrior.
“There’s no need to worry about that. Elroy is already mine.”
“… It seems that she believes in her quite a bit. So, isn’t it her relationship that was only manipulated by her hypnosis?”
“Well. That’s true, but… Elroy is special in many ways.”
Innate nobility. Innate special.
She was the right person for that word.
Even I, who has a considerable sense of repulsion towards the aristocracy, has no choice but to admit it.
It is not her abilities or talents that make her unique, but her mindset and upright spirit.
That stimulates the desire to collect.
Then I felt her stabbing gaze.
Of course, the main character of the gaze was the king of charades.
“Why?”
“…Nothing.”
Nothing.
You can clearly see the exclusivity and jealousy on his face.
Still, it was cute to see her holding back without speaking out, probably because she punished her once.
“Now that we know the location, let’s go secretly meet.”
“Wait, you must have seen it too. The Earl of Greypoint will not be alone.”
“It’s okay. It’s time to be alone.”
“What do you mean by that?”
I took out my watch and checked the time.
Also.
It was now three o’clock in the afternoon.
I smiled with a strange nostalgia.
“Time for tea.”
