Chapter 366 – 366. Struggle and Struggle (14)

– One –

The interior of Strass Eila.

Vladnok, a large, bald old man, peers out through the cracks in the window.

I watch people’s limbs being cut off and their heads being cut off.

‘This, what crazy… !’

Burrrr!
Rocking, rocking, rocking!

Shudder

Although he is a person of unusually cruel nature who enjoys unreasonable and unethical acts such as murder, rape, and cannibalism, he feels extreme fear that he may be harmed.

“Ughhhhh…!”

He vomits moans mixed with tears in a mixture of anger, bewilderment, and fear.

Shiver.
Patter.

Whether it’s broth or sweat, something that I can’t distinguish at all pours out.

Wet the floor thoroughly.

It was ugly.

‘No, damn… ! Why are His Highness’ soldiers attacking the Imperial army… ! Aren’t those guys allies? Stand, please… Have you been caught up in the political battle between the imperial faction and the aristocratic faction… ?’

Let’s think about it,

“Hee, heehee…!”

Rumble.

He feels as if his groin is empty.

His heart is pounding and his breathing is short.

The feeling of an endless fall, as if falling in the air without tying a rope, engulfs his body.

‘No, it can’t be… It was clear that there had been some misunderstanding. The imperial army and the duke are not incompetent enough to risk their lives in political strife in the face of the great evil behind the rebels… !’

I try hard to catch his heart.

But to be more honest, it is nothing more than a denial of reality.

Pitiful

Also, it’s useless.

‘Damn… ! Didn’t you say that the second team was only in charge of supplying safely? If I knew it would be dangerous like this, I wouldn’t have thought of coming here in the first place!’

Scream

It was sleepy.

However, even if he was armed with heinousness, his anxiety did not go away.

‘Hey, don’t stay here and be labeled a traitor… ?’

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.

Immediately after recalling the word traitor,

“Hee-i-ik…!”

His heart started beating like crazy.

[Put down your weapons and surrender! His Highness, the only duke in the empire appointed by His Majesty, will overlook your ‘mistakes’ for once!]

Absinthe forces the Imperial Army soldiers to surrender with the warden’s head raised.

[Even though it was a ‘mistake’ stemming from a misunderstanding, your second-in-command had no choice but to give a summary judgment by beheading for the crime of aiming a sword at His Highness! However, you only made a ‘mistake’ by playing with his misunderstanding, and I don’t think anyone would really want to rebel against His Highness!]

He intentionally emphasizes the word mistake.

In that short time rushing into battle, having learned the situation from Echo’s report, he silenced the most crucial witness with death.

Absinthe lays the responsibility for negligence on the witness who did not even get a chance to protest because he died.

[With the true enemy, the rebels, in front of our eyes, why should allies shed blood? Everyone stop fighting and take care of the wounded!]

After the situation is settled and the cause is established, the situation is put together to properly retreat as Regal wishes.

In the midst of an urgent situation, his confident words had the appropriate influence to cover everything.

Buzz buzz.
… Is real…
Buzz buzz.

Looking at his dignified appearance, the soldiers of the Imperial Army fall into confusion.

“Come on, General…!”

“Kheuuuuu…!”

Whether to take revenge

“What’s going on at the Great Joint…?”

“Did the General really misunderstand…?”

Whether to surrender or not, they were at a loss.

But not everyone was flustered.

“If it’s really a misunderstanding, why did we suddenly attack? Didn’t the general attack us from the other side first with a large arrow before exposing His Highness’ treason charges?”

“Right. And before the general passed away, he definitely said the word emperor. Doesn’t that mean that Your Highness called himself emperor?”

“Besides, their identities are suspicious…”

Some were not overlooking the situational contradiction.

No, not a small number of soldiers clearly remembered the circumstantial evidence.

Soldiers were constantly whispering and sharing such information with their colleagues around them, so they did not let go of their weapons easily.

[Once again, lay down your weapons and surrender! No, not surrender! Stop the senseless bleeding caused by misunderstanding! If precious talents like you die in vain due to misunderstanding and stubbornness, it will be difficult to find a more disloyalty to His Majesty the Emperor!]

Buzz buzz.

The eyes of the Imperial Army soldiers trembled.

Agitate

While Absinthe gives a speech to the Imperials, Regal’s combatants retrieve the wounded and head for Strass Eila.

Regal’s carriage also disappeared long ago inside Stras-Ayla.

As they disappear before their eyes, the imperial army begins to become more agitated.

Absinthe captures it instantly.

[If you surrender, I will immediately provide food and help you receive appropriate treatment! We have no reason to fight!]

The murmur gradually subsides.

The Imperial Army soldiers look at each other.

The miserable appearance comes into view only then.

Since there was no mirror, they only vaguely guessed their own appearance after checking each other’s appearance.

All torn and worn out combat uniforms and armor.

Lips, cheeks, and palms that were worn beyond that.

Skin covered with burns and sores.

Two cheeks sunken from hunger and eyes with shadows.

Wounds and starvation, insufficient supplies and missing leisure made them ill.

[Cool water, warm food, and even bathing facilities are provided! We are allies to each other! They are precious comrades, comrades who should not be pointed at with swords!]

The tension goes away.

When it disappears, a sense of collapse suddenly takes over.

Suddenly everything feels futile.

Silence prevails.

As the soldiers looked at each other and tried to lay down their weapons one by one,

[Are you really our, our imperial army’s allies?!]

An angry voice erupted from the imperial army.

He was the brigadier general whom the dead major considered his successor.

He burns his eyes with anger,

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

I was walking step by step towards the absinthe.

As if prepared for death, he took steps loaded with auras with a stiff face.

[I will ask you again if you are truly allies!]

He watched distinctly how the warden died.

Through him, I realized how strong absinthe was, and that if I fought him, I would become a corpse within seconds.

In addition, he also intuitively felt that a considerable number of troops were waiting inside the transparent vehicle.

He was certain that he would be defeated if he had to face off against the second generation from the Regal family.

[Can you swear by your names before the Goddess that you are not our enemies?!]

[…]

So he curled up his tail like a frightened dog.

He raised his thorns like a frightened hedgehog.

But he couldn’t help it either.

The major had asked him to act as de facto commander-in-chief in case of emergency, leaving him with the responsibility of safely withdrawing the tens of thousands of surviving Imperial troops.

Even though it only meant his resignation, and it may not have predicted his own death, it was the same situation for the brigadier general in the big picture.

So, even though he feared his death, he had no choice but to ask for a confirmation for the safety of his soldiers.

[Of course!]

Although somewhat hesitant, Absinthe confidently answers the brigadier’s question.

[We have been your allies from the beginning! Only those who attack to persecute my lord without any room to resolve the misunderstanding are our enemies!]

However, it feels as though the delay is not for deception, but for prudence in the answer.

By limiting only those who oppose them as enemies, his skillfulness in breaking the will to resist once again stands out.

[Then…]

The brigadier chooses his words carefully.

Cold sweat runs down his face.

– 3 –

About 5 minutes ago.

“Hmm, huh huh … Yongsani … ♡”

Swoop.
Woo woo woo.

Urmama wrapped herself in a clean blanket and hugged Monohorn.

Because of overexertion for several days, as soon as she returned home, she completely fell asleep next to Monohorn.

Everyone else was also asleep.

Only the Cuelvos are awake.

Sarah, Sarah.
Whoops, whoops.

Margarita stroked their hair while smiling lightly.

Her hands are lovely

José looks down at the three with happy eyes.

Suddenly, he spoke quietly to Margarita.

“My love.”

“Yes, honey.”

“When do you think the thing Maman prepared will explode?”

“Well, I don’t know because I haven’t checked at all since I got home.”

“Oh, I see.”

Jose nods his head in agreement.

It was clear that Margarita must have been extremely exhausted from the forced marches of the past few days.

“Shall we check it out right now?”

“No. I was just a little puzzled because my love didn’t say anything even though the time it should have exploded has passed. My love is also tired and wants to rest, but I didn’t consider that. I’m sorry.”

Swoop.

Margarita turns her head towards Jose.

She was smiling somehow coquettishly.

“Honey, do you know that being considerate of me is the most attractive thing?”

“Haha. You don’t seem so attractive at other times.”

Jose shivers.

But as if the mood wasn’t bad, the smile on his lips grew a little thicker.

“That can’t be the case. Honey, if you show me that you’re considerate…”

Swoop.
Flutter.

Margarita lifts up her own skirt.

She spreads her legs wide.

A lustful stain gleams in the middle of her underwear.

“Look at this… It’s soaking wet…♡”

“Ummm… Keu, Keuheum…”

Buck, buck, buck.

Jose scratches the nape of his neck and the back of his head.

Her face turns red

“Honey.”

“Ohhhhh! Yes, my love.”

“My dear sweetheart♡”

“Tell me. I’m listening.”

Gulp, gulp.

Jose swallows.

His eyeballs twitch.

The front of his trousers,

Do you have an erection?

It starts to swell enormously.

The smile on Margarita’s face grew wider.

Of course, it was a lewd and bewitching smile.

“Will you give me a blowjob later?”

“Keah, kuhmm… Boo, please…”

Jose responds politely.

But to Margarita’s eyes, he looked like a big dog drooling at her as she held her bone in front of his eyes.

At that time,

“Ah…!”

Margarita opens her eyes wide and lets out her exclamation.

José tilts his head as he doesn’t understand why.

“What’s up, my love.”

“It exploded!”

“What, ah… Did the things Maman prepared explode?”

“Yes!”

See profit.

As if everything went according to plan, Jose smiled cheerfully.

Margarita looked up at his wild smile,

Pound, pound, pound, pound.
Rumble.

He was in estrus without ejaculation.

Somehow, it seemed like it would be an unfortunate night to end with only the mouth.

The couple had no choice but to pray earnestly today for Monohorn to return soon.

– 4 –

[All weapons,]

The moment the brigadier was about to issue the order to disarm,

Wood Deuk!
Tutu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu!
Shoot aaaaa!

An ominous rupture is heard.

The forest of shrubs stretching from east to west stretches.

Whack, Whack!

The brigadier and absinthe quickly turn their heads toward the source of the sound.

Both eyes widen at the same time.

Dismayed

Whoops, whoops!
Woo woo woo woo!

A piece of wood the size of a huge house flies.

Past absinthe and the brigadier’s head,

Woo woo woo!

Near the location where the Imperial Army is concentrated, it falls over the head of the Imperial Army.

It began to fly from the vicinity of where Stras Eila was waiting.

In reality, it had flown farther back than that.

However, hidden in the shadows of the trees and Stras-Ayla, it looked as if it had been fired from a weapon mounted on a mobile fort.

The invisibility magic applied there did not actually make it transparent, but it was a kind of mimicry magic that distorted the surface similar to the surrounding image.

Through that magic, along with the body of Stras Eila reminiscent of a huge castle, it was possible to hide what kind of equipment was installed in it.

In addition, the huge mobile fortress with a height of up to 40m was enough to cover the view by itself.

Thanks to that, it gave the Imperial Army a great misunderstanding.

Of course,

Woo woo woo woo!
Puck!
Oops!
Ugh support!

It was only possible for those who survived.

“Ah ah ah ah!”

“Do, run away!”

“Back off! Back up, boys!”

A big battle unfolds.

With the Imperials in the north and the Regal enlisted men and operatives in the south, only Imperial soldiers suffered from being crushed to death by a block of trees.

However, confusion spreads to both sides.

Because I didn’t know that there was a plan to surprise the Imperial Army,

“…Has there ever been an operation like this?”

“I haven’t been given any orders, but…”

“As far as I know, we’ve never been equipped with the weapon itself to shoot projectiles like this in the first place.”

“Then who the hell is…?”

Regal’s forces fall into disarray.

Imperial soldiers are also confused, as they never imagined that the Regal forces would surprise them after demanding to disarm them.

But,

Cadde deuk.

The brigadier goes through this.

The poison of terrifying resentment fills his eyes.

“…Was this meant to be from the beginning…”

He murmurs.

She was somewhat distant from him, but because of her superhuman senses, Absinthe could hear him muttering clearly.

Slap!

“No! This is not what we did!”

He hurriedly explained to the brigadier without using his aura to amplify his voice.

“Someone third party is alienating us! The mobile fort we rode on didn’t have a weapon that could shoot out a block of wood like that! If you want, you can unlock the invisible magic right now and confirm it!”

“…”

The brigadier does not respond to Absinthe’s words.

I just quietly stare at him.

“This is absolutely our, and Your Highness’s will,”

“Well…You guys made it clear from the beginning.”

The brigadier cuts off the absinthe and quietly broods over his anger.

With confident eyes, he glared at the Regal troops.

“That, what is that?”

“Isn’t it obvious that you cut the general’s head? You killed the ‘enemy general’!”

“…!”

Absinthe opens his mouth wide.

A word he deliberately chose to restrain the rebellious now holds him back.

Take away his excuses

“I mean, you meant to slaughter like a pig or a cow, taking away the option of dying with honor in battle!”

Peit!
Chow ah!

The brigadier screamed and vomited blood because he abused his vocal cords and screamed without an aura.

It seemed to represent his feelings.

“That’s not true! It’s a misunderstanding!”

“It’s enough to be deceived once!”

After the brigadier vomited out his rising anger,

[Bulb Woowoon!]

Thud!

I shouted with an aura and stamped his feet.

He didn’t even finish talking, but every Imperial soldier had a clear view of what he was about to give.

Chae Chae Chae Chae Chae!
Sureung, seureureung!
Clap!

“…”

The survivors silently draw their weapons.

They will not lay down their weapons.

Only death can take the weapon from their hands.

[Clean up the group of traitors!]

Aaaaa!
Doo doo doo doo doo!

The Imperial Army infantry rushes in unison.

[Don’t put circumstances in your hands! There is no need to save them! I’m responsible for everything!]

Hearing the command of the brigadier general, the Imperial soldiers let go of the reins of restraint in unison.

Kyaaaaagh!
I’m going to have a good time!

Burning only with the intent to kill, he runs forward, forward, determined to die.

[Wizard troops and shaman troops, eject magic and spells through joint chanting toward the place where the enemy’s fortress is presumed to be! Eject each unit with maximum output, starting with the units that are being prepared!]

After killing the only duke in the empire, I don’t think about the aftermath.

With only the fact of punishing traitors in mind,

Empire, live forever!
Aaaaa!
Doo doo doo doo!

It burns the soul of patriotism with anger.

Whoops!

Absinthe bites his lips.

Remembering your priorities, right before you go to slaughter the wizards and shamans,

– Come back, absinthe.

Regal’s voice was heard from the small short-distance communication magic tool placed in his ear.

“Lord, Lord!”

The moment absinthe was about to say something,

-Even if you suffer some damage, even if you go back and make a somewhat lame excuse, the Imperial Army and us must return alive unconditionally. For now, we have to assume that the imperial family has already figured out that the late arrivals came here. In such a situation, if only the retaliatory corps and us return alive, there will be suspicions that we intentionally summoned the retaliatory corps to kill the imperial army.

Regal cuts him off and quickly expresses his opinion.

Absinthe nods his head, as if he thought his words made sense.

– If you go back, you can make excuses, but if they all die,

At that time,

Right-handed, right-handed.
Deed Dede Deuk.

– Ugh!

This time, an ominous sound begins to resound near Strath Aila’s location.

“Lord, lord! Are you all right, lord!”

Absinthe panics.

Flounder

Immediately after that,

Kwakjijik!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

With a huge rupture sound, dust rises from the place where Strath Eila was.

– Kwajik, bang! Aaaaa!

“Lord!”

Beyond the small short-distance communication magic tool, a regal scream erupted with a terrifying noise.

In the dust,

Jijijik, Jijijijik!

Along with a strange noise, the outline of Stras-Ayla begins to appear vaguely.

As the ground Strassilla was standing on collapsed, it seemed that the body was sunk into the hollow below.

Due to the shock of that moment, it was clear that the invisibility magic had been broken for a moment.

But there was no time to enjoy leisurely.

“Die!”

Awesome love!

It was because the brigadier started running toward him, risking his life.

“Damn…!”

A deep conflict begins to develop in Absinthe’s eyes.

It was confusing.
