Chapter 702 – The King of Two Ages (3)

“Sun… !”

Aori, wearing a bloody dress, ran across the edge of the well.

Come closer and jump!
Taeyang, who had safely received Aori without worrying about the blood, brushed off the dirt from Aori’s forehead.

“Aori. Wounded… No Where has your brother gone?”
“The King… Whoa, whoa, I haven’t seen it since I saw it at the altar. What happened?”

City ​​center. The sky is full of dark clouds. It wasn’t raining, but the humidity was high and it made a sound.
The screams of the residents burst out throughout the city, which was clogged up with thick fog.

-Why, why are you doing this? Why… !
─Kyaaaaagh! Honey!!

From people who are simply terrified.

-Don’t run away. His Majesty is coming!!! The rotten things that don’t even know this grace…

Even old people who criticize such residents.
A scene in which middle-aged people rather violently suppress young people unfolded in the center of the plaza in a bizarre way.

“Hey, Mom…”
“Please… Please don’t do this!”

Crowds of people gathered and concentrated, and the street corner was completely blocked before I knew it.
Taeyang and Aori, who were one step away from each other, couldn’t hide their disapproval and kept their mouths shut.

– Coo-goo-goo-goo.

The ground cries. A private soldier of nobles with a black flagpole was approaching the village with a spear openly erected.

Following the aristocratic army advancing from the east, black knights never seen before rushed to overthrow the city from the west.

Dieffenbachia, who watched this, frowned.

“What is this-“
“… Corps commander!! Poetry, it’s serious. Uh, I don’t know what to do.”
“What’s going on? Calm down and answer slowly.”

No matter how well trained legionnaires are. I couldn’t hide my bewilderment at the unprecedented attack.
Her soldier, who had come to visit her, carried on her report in a trembling voice.

“The former king has resurrected. High-ranking aristocrats lead their privates and surround the city… The elders of the village were executed willingly, as if possessed. The ritual must be performed, they say… What are you talking about?”
“… Where is the Legion?”
“Some joined the noble army at the Count’s command… The rest were looking for the corps commander.”

When Dieffenbachia heard that, she couldn’t contain her anger.
It was unimaginable for a noble to interfere with the Legion’s guidelines.
All her leadership in case of emergency would be with her. Some legionnaires got confused and sided with the nobles.

“… Prepare your weapons and gather in the plaza.”
“Commander, no way. Are you planning to run into the nobles?”
“The Legion only acts according to the will of the Legion. Nothing has been decided yet. What are you doing without moving fast!”
“Yes, yep!!”

Behind the soldier who hurriedly ran away, Dieffenbachia clenched her fists, trying to hide her embarrassment.

‘… I knew that some lives would be sacrificed for the ritual. But… I’ve never heard of her raising an army to commit a massacre.’

Is it because the power of the Hyeonwang is stronger than I thought?
The action that seemed to attract the former king’s awakening was very different from the original plan.

‘The reason why the royal family sacrificed their own lives was to reduce the sacrifice of the subjects as much as possible. That must have been the will of the previous king… Rex. Doesn’t he know how much?’

Dieffenbachia’s magical power gushed over the armor in a trembling rage.

At that time. The knight who reached the plaza raised his voice.

“Listen up, proud subjects of the Empire!”

Nobility, not legion. The vanguard, dressed in stylish armor, stopped the movements of the subjects with a solemn voice.

The tense tension persists. The stopped subjects looked at them with a curious mind.

“The former king opened his eyes through a ceremony. To Your Majesty’s eternal grace, the subjects who have lived peacefully should give their lives!”

Nonsense story.
Surprisingly, however, there were those who jumped on the bandwagon.

“Okay… Dedicate yourself to His Majesty!”
“To run away. They’re the ones who wouldn’t have been born if His Majesty wasn’t here.”

The voices of the older generation grew louder, and there was also a backlash against their voices.

“Your Majesty is for the sake of the people. Didn’t you say that you dedicated your life to us? If our lives were to be wasted… Isn’t His Majesty’s will different from what you taught?”
“This is not it. Where is the Hyeonwang?!”

Divided generations start slandering and blaming each other.

“Hyeonwang has no qualifications!! Does it make sense to serve a guy with no blood connection!”
“It’s shameless… Just a week ago, the prophecies were said to have come true, and you were delighted!”
“With His Majesty returning, I don’t think he’d know a guy like that. Shut up and come join the ceremony. That’s what we should do!”

In an increasingly heated atmosphere, countless accusations against the Hyeonwang came from the knights.

The dirty deeds that the current king has done so far.
Various rumors broke out, such as that there was even a child who died because he took the young daughter of nobles to his heart’s content and forcibly handled it.

If you think about it, it was an obvious lie, but to them, nobles are hard to disobey.
Instinctively, you think they are right.

But there are also people who oppose it.
Cried a farm girl in a trembling voice.

“… Lie! His Majesty did the work of lowly peasants like us. How could such a person do such a thing?”
“No, that’s right. Marshmallow her sister said… His Majesty is very kind.”

Starting with the subjects who were helped by him. Words that spread gradually.
Surprisingly, people who defend Lee Si-heon did not exist only among civilians.

Among the knights, a woman wearing armor said to the head of the house.

“Father. Can’t you just think about it one more time? My younger sister, Cranberry, also knows how much you valued me because I tipped off… I can’t imagine that His Majesty did such a thing.”
“Shut up.”
“Please.”

The young ladies in armor who followed the knights began to persuade their parents thanks to the words of the subjects.

He went out with full force because he had sufficient fighting ability, but it caught his ankle.

All the women who spent the night with the hyeonwang must have been quarantined.
Were there other nobles you had a relationship with?
The knights, taken aback by the sudden objection, limped.

“It’s because I’m worried about you.”
“Everyone who spent the night with His Majesty said in unison that she was kind and considerate.”

However, the ritual cannot be stopped now.
It was impossible to go back to a river that had already been crossed.

It is the nobles’ job to weed out all disloyal subjects.
As Rex’s command, the aristocrats in the vanguard ordered Dankal.

“Prioritize those who run away and kill them.”
“… That!”

In radical remarks, the surrounding surroundings became pale.

The soldiers also shut up and looked at the aristocrats who made the remarks.

Even though they were loyal to them, the soldiers of the nobles were also part of the civilians.
They were people who did not want to harm memories together in a closed place with them.

The space is extremely limited.
There were not one or two solidarity that had been woven in large and small festivals.

So the betrayal was even greater. The same was true of some nobles.
The aristocrats of the young generation were generally complex, and many of them showed unpleasantness on their faces.

In order for the lower person to follow, the talents who have grown up to hear that they must have the character and ability.
Protect the new people. That was the principle of the aristocracy that the king came out, and they came to the situation where they had to break the principle.

If you pushed your back, you would have added a word.
In the following silence, the new people would have felt greater betrayal.

“What are you doing? Hit right now. “

At the end of the vanguard, the knights who finally made a spear and sword.

“… Stop. What are you doing now? “

Defenbakia’s angry voice was quietly resonated.

“I don’t understand.”
“… Sir Defenbakia. Why are you there? You must have joined the consciousness. “

The sun and Aori’s eyes are headed for Defenbakia.
Other new people also looked at the corps.

In a sense, a woman who buys people’s trust much more than the king.
The appearance of the corps leader gathered the eager eyes of the new people. She finished this work, and they prayed again and again.

“Don’t ridicule. The consciousness I wanted to do would not have been like this. “
“If we had cooperated with the consciousness, it would not have worked this way.”
“… Are you playing around? “

Lee’s words come to mind late.

-Will you regret it late?

Was it just spit out, or is it a prophecy that I expected and spit out all?
The latter may change the gaze of Lee Si -heon.

Defenbakia took a breath and stared at the articles in front.

-Dajik.

The surroundings are overwhelmed by the burst. The soldiers were surprised and trembled.

‘No one can die alone.’

They are the new people to keep. The seat of the corps who imitated the mother.
Even if the body became powdered, Defenbakia could literally give anything if he could protect them.

-Fuhoong!

A huge Halbird from his back was in the hands of Defenbakia, drawing a large circle.

The knight who felt the battle eventually shook his head and pulled out his window and reached out in front of him.

“Sir. Don’t hesitate. “

-Hihi Hing !!

“Executing the traitor… ! Fulfill consciousness! “

Watching the knights that move the gearco horse.
Furious people push each other and try to run away.

“Uh, ah ah!”
“Legion chief… !!!”

Defenbakia was standing in a blessing gap. The sun and Aori did not run away and sought a room.

Who caused the army of the shadow that drove from the west? Like a zombie without reason, he devastated the ground. In her dong, the aristocratic disease pulled her sword from her.

Massacre of civilians.
Even if it was Dieffenbachia, it was difficult to handle the army alone.

‘How should…’

The moment a question popped into her mind.

– Coo-goo-goo!

It was neither a person nor a monster that appeared while causing a change.
The great magic, like a natural disaster, broke through the complicated plaza.

A huge rock rose from the ground and cut through the center of the aristocratic soldiers and Dieffenbachia.

Part of the huge city was swallowed up by a wall of rock, blocking the gap between the army and the subjects.

An operation of magic that can only be imagined.
Dieffenbachia looked up in amazement at the magic that changed the shape of the city itself.

-Thud.

The magical power that covered the sky. Dieffenbachia muttered in disbelief at the traces of that familiar magical power.

‘Nonsense… Magical power, obviously.’

Only a small part of it must have been left by the tower.
No matter how big the bowl is, there’s no way it could have this much magic power left.

Is it really magic?
If so how?

‘…’

It is full of unknowns.
I couldn’t understand a thing, I didn’t know how I was conscious, and I didn’t know how to solve this hot situation.

She recalled the words of Lee Si-heon, who had been talking to her one day.

– People never die. Possible. It’s because I’m blocking it after the ceremony is done with my stubbornness. That should be enough.

Isn’t that too much?

‘Really… Without missing a single person…’

Are you going to make sure that no one dies, except for those who die directly?

‘That’s possible?’

Can not believe it.

-Farreuk!

The black dragon cannon of the man who created a huge wall flutters.
Does he take miracles for granted? He sat on a stone wall, taking in his surroundings with a nonchalant expression,
