Chapter 257 – Chapter 26

“Queen. Princess Lilith’s army is advancing towards the capital.”

Shirin was injured by Celestine’s divine power and was treated by Queen Barnes.

Originally, she was going to support the forces trying to attack Lilith.

However, she had to return to the kingdom after hearing the news of the defeat of the vampires, who were filled with her confidence that she could defeat anyone but Celestine.

The vampires who returned alive announced that Lilith’s army was stronger than expected and had a poison that only worked on vampires.

The moment it is broken, it vaporizes and is absorbed through the skin. If even a little is absorbed, it is extremely poisonous and vomits black blood to death.

The vampires of Cameld Kingdom knew what kind of tricks the humans of the original world were trying to exterminate them.

Even they couldn’t produce a poison that only vampires could pass through, and they were astonished that such a ridiculous poison was created in this world.

Thanks to this, it was not easy to move the army to create a law of destruction based on the testimony of the survivors.

With her lime-colored hair hanging down gracefully and her blood-red eyes sparkling in the dark, Vannes gave Shirin her orders.

“Please gather all the blood relatives.”
“Yes.”

Unlike normal faction-to-faction warfare, this war is rather special.

The vampires had no intention of fighting a long battle against an army led by an heir to an old royal family who was weaker and less numerous than themselves.

Lillian’s side is reluctant to cause damage to the people if the war is prolonged.

The interests of both sides are aligned, and the situation is insisting on a short-term battle from the top officer to the bottom.

Coincidentally, Dang Seol-yeong’s method of destroying poison was also studied, and it was a perfect situation to move the army.

“Sir Sirin.”
“Yes?”

Shirin, who was about to move under Vannes’s command, was stopped by the queen’s call.

“Are you worried about anything these days?”
“That, that’s…”
“It felt like my thoughts were always somewhere else. Even if Celestine is like our nemesis, there’s no reason for her to be defeated easily with your skills.”
“…”

Others would make appropriate excuses, but as an honest knight herself, she could not make excuses for the queen’s point.

Moreover, since Vannes has already recognized his condition and is even convinced of it, all the more.

But even so, it was impossible for her to reveal what she was thinking about.

‘You’re here, but I’m going to have a new master. Even though You, who gave me a new life and has the dignity and ability appropriate for a long-time owner, are here in front of me like this.’

However, she succumbed to the wild lust of a much younger boy and accepted the boy as her new master.

Moreover, even when fighting Celestine, she hated herself even more that her womb was still quivering at the thought of the warmth and pleasure that only her Kaicent could give.

“…”

Of course, Shirin, who couldn’t say this, kept her mouth shut and avoided Vannes’ gaze.

“Is this a problem you can’t even talk to me about?”
“…Sorry, but…I can say this with certainty.”

She spoke as if declaring to her master, who was gently interrogating her.

“If the outcome of this war is decided. I will reveal everything then.”
“All right.”

Vannes immediately responded to Sirin’s meaningful lines.

Why, why, for what reason

All sorts of questions might be felt, but she didn’t ask any questions because she believed in Shirin who served her.

So while Shireen was thrilled with the character of her Vanness, she couldn’t help but lift her face in her disgust for herself.

“But please declare this one thing clearly.”

Instead of asking her all sorts of questions, Barnes wanted to hear her affirmations.

“I will do everything in my power to bring me victory in this war.”
“Yes. I will definitely give victory to the queen in this war.”

When she fought Celestine, she was tormented by her wandering thoughts, but Shirin, who captured her heart, vowed to do her best in her position.

After reorganizing, Lillian and the others started marching towards the capital.

Moving without rest until nightfall, they made camp and started a meeting.

“It’s a pretty good story. And?”

Lillian explained to Jin Soo-ah and Celestine, who joined late, why the enemy would concentrate all his strength and repel the attack in order to end the war at once.

However, Jin Soo-ah asked back as if this was the end.

“And what? I’ve already told you everything?”
“How are you guys going to respond here?
“Hey. Watch your mouth.”

Priscilla frowned at the incongruity of Jin Soo-ah, who was cocky and arrogant about her latecomer to the subject, and arrogantly poked her head back and forth.

Lilith is also a character, but she knew exactly when to step out knowing she was an outsider.

But as if it didn’t matter to Jin Su-ah, she did not hesitate to dig into a subject that was sensitive to her subject, which she had been an outsider to, until a few days ago.

“So. Now, I will have to fight with you as well, but shouldn’t you have thought of something in advance? Maybe we, the newcomers, will use it as a meat shield?”
“I would have told you to watch your mouth.”
“Or not, why the heat? Is it because I pinched the core?”
“Because saying that is an insult to us!”

Two people staring at each other and arguing.

Lillian sighed inwardly at the thought of having to deal with Jin Soo-ah, who had a strong personality.

‘Right now, we need as many talented people as possible. Let’s think that she will go through the hardships she will have to go through as a queen in advance.’

“Including that story, I called the two of you. I’ll explain, so stay quiet.”
“If that’s the case.”

Jin Su-ah shrugged her shoulders at her Lillian’s instructions and took a step back.

When the atmosphere calmed down, Neledriel made soil on the conference table to distinguish the terrain of the expected battlefield and friend and foe.

“The Cameld Kingdom has also started moving. Unless there is a change in speed for a special reason, the place where the two armies will face each other is this terrain.”
“Wow. There’s no difference in numbers.”

He murmured as if he was interested in the fact that there seemed to be twice as many red soil as the allies to express the power of the Cameld Kingdom.

“If you’re scared, I recommend running away without your tail.”
“Jinga’s blood sees enemies and feels no fear.”
“With words, you can become the strongest in the dimension. I wonder if that courage can come out even after seeing a real enemy?”
“I’m sorry, but since I joined the Guardian Corps, I’ve been winning against enemies stronger than me.”
“Well? How do you know if it’s all your skills or the strength of your colleagues?”

Priscilla, who still didn’t like Jin Soo-ah, quarreled with her in a quarrel with her.

“Large.”

When Celestine, who was worse off, cleared her throat and refreshed the atmosphere, the two of them also kept their mouths shut and just glared at each other.

“There is only one strategy we can do.”

Lillian gathered most of the blue horses bearing the faces of her companions, including her own, in one place and pushed them away.

“Everyone joins forces to break through one point.”
“It’s simple, but it’s the best strategy for a small number to break a large army.”

Celestine used honorifics and affirmed Lillian, who was a fallen royal and was trying to regain her legitimate authority.

“The problem is that the enemy can easily anticipate our tactics. Fewer armies means less strategy.”

That’s right.

Most of the ways to defeat a large army that seems to be twice as large as oneself are fixed.

Ambush, surprise, one-point breakthrough, trap.

That’s why it is said that the troops of the allies themselves are a strategy in war.

“But if the army on this side is defeated by the enemy’s army, it will be surrounded and eaten.”

Jin Soo-ah pushed the red soil spread out on the conference table and surrounded the words of Lillian’s party in a circle.

He has a personality that seems to like a reckless charge, but he’s not so stupid that he doesn’t even know this basic tactic.

“That’s why… Frederick will lead his men and play an active part on the frontlines and hold out as long as possible.”
“And a new force emerged there.”

When Lilith, who inherited Lillian’s words, sent a signal to Neledriel, Jin Soo-ah and Celestine’s words were newly created.

“Celestine. Cover my allies from the rear instead of me.”
“You are?”
“I have to help Lillian. The important thing in this operation is to capture the enemy king as quickly as possible.”

Originally, Lilith was supposed to provide cover for her allies from behind, but it was decided that Celestine would perform that role more perfectly.

Naturally left alone, Jin Soo-ah looked at Lillian.

“I am?”
“You should rush with us. If you feel scared or burdened, tell us right away. If you forcefully drag someone who doesn’t like it, it will only lower the morale of our allies.”

She gave her choice towards Jin Soo-ah.

Jin Soo-ah laughed her own words and joined Lillian’s group.

“Anyway, I have to tell you what kind of person the warrior who inherited Jinga’s blood is.”

With the joining of Jin Soo-ah and Celestine, the power has been reinforced more than before.

However, the power of the Cameld Kingdom, whether strong or weak, would be superior to this side, so everyone made them aware that if they fell behind in the worst situation, they would be surrounded and hunted.

“This is the strategy. The rest will be dealt with ad hoc. Unless there is something special, there will be no need to change this strategy. Now everyone disband.”

Giving the operation to everyone, Lillian dismissed them all.

My head hurts already when I think of leading more people than this to regain the kingdom.

Meanwhile, Celestine, who came out of the conference room, asked Jin Soo-ah, who became her new colleague.

“Are you okay with that? It’s honestly not even a proper strategy?”
“Then let’s use a mysterious magic? If we could do something like that, we would have said it a long time ago.”
“Even if your life is at stake?”
“If I can survive, I will become a manure that will make me stronger. I can become stronger than I am now, so shouldn’t I take this risk?”

Celestine learned that Jin Su-ah was her belligerent nature, but she could sense that she was more intelligent than the generally belligerent ones.

It’s like a scholar wearing a barbarian’s mask?

As proof of that, words demanded strength, but in her eyes, she felt an intelligent glimmer.

“I’m sorry, but there’s someone I need to meet right now.”

In addition, she ended the conversation politely, while aggressive people seeking strength would ignore or be rude if they weren’t interested.

‘It’s an exquisite mix of reason and violence. In the future, she might become a completely different person.’

Apparently, the Jin family is overflowing with beings like her, but if the whole family moves to this world, they will have to worry about the people of this world.

After breaking up with Celestine, Jin Soo-ah went to visit Kaicent, who was trying to spend time with Dang Seol-yeong and Arty.

“Kaisent.”
“Huh?”
“Let’s fight.”

Kaicent frowned at her requesting sparring.

“Why me?”
“So that I can become stronger.”
“I have to fight the Cameld Kingdom in the next few days?”
“If you’re a Murim person, you can quickly recover with the fortune-telling breakfast. And it won’t be a bad story for you either.”

Jin Su-ah, as before, convinced that even if she pushed her recklessly, she would not work, and she steered her direction by persuading.

“Because if I become even a little bit stronger, Lillian’s plan will have a slightly better chance of succeeding.”
“Can you do it in a few days?”
“It would be impossible for other people. But you and I are of the same kind. Geniuses like us are strong, but steady basic training is important, but you know how important it is to fight against strong enemies, right?”
“…”

As she said

Kaicent has always been in basic training, but it is when he fights a formidable foe that he becomes explosively strong.

The foundation served as a foundation to prevent the strength gained in that way from disappearing in vain.

“To win this war, advanced forces like us need to become even a little stronger. If you don’t like it.”

It is not her taste to cling to her tenaciously, but if she doesn’t like it here, she intends to catch someone else and train her.

“…Okay. Can everyone wait?”
“Of course.”
“I look forward to seeing a wonderful view in the sky.”

Arty and Dang Seol-young created a space for the two of them to fight.

Heading to the center of the wide clearing, the two drew their weapons at each other.

“I’ll send the signal. Ready- start!”

At Artie’s signal, the two men and women quickly approach and collide.

‘Bring out all the skills you’ve learned! Give me the experience you’ve learned through your body!’

Jin Soo-ah puts all her energy into not missing any of Kaisent’s skills, which are stronger than herself.

The sparring between her and Kaicent lasted until the day before the meeting with the army of Kameld Kingdom.
