Chapter 456 – 36. The Three-Earth Alliance – Tricks and Traps (3)

“…”

“Captain.”

“…”

“Captain.”

“…”

“…Father.”

Flinch.

“Uh huh?”

“I’ll be there soon.”

“Oh yeah.”

Luciano, who was awakened by the call of his eldest daughter Tesari, gazed at the megalopolis in the distance.

It’s a place I didn’t want to come to, and I will continue to do so, but the feeling is a little different now.

To put it simply, it was ridiculous.

‘Crazy bastard. I knew when I would have an accident….’

Isn’t this an accident level?

“Are you okay, Captain?”

“Does my expression look that bad?”

“Yes.”

Tesari answered without hesitation.

Luciano grunted.

Actually, it doesn’t feel that bad.

If done well, there is a possibility of a war that is desired so much.

The problem is also timing.

The problem is that now is the implicit period for selecting the next pope. The pope has a slightly different standard from the cardinals and lower clergy. The method itself is different from the way it was before, where you can climb in consideration of everything such as faith, divine power, achievement, and military power.

What is certain is that merit in war is of no avail to becoming pope. Even more so for Luciano, who has the disadvantage of being a different race with a long lifespan. But, because of the war, will he give up his papal seat this time?

‘Hmm, that’s a bit hesitant…. It doesn’t work either.’

His competitor is younger than he thought.

To say he is young, he is over 60 years old, but considering the lifespan of priests who live long thanks to divine power, he will probably live 3 or 40 years.

Of course he will outlive him.

However, if he misses this opportunity once or twice, he will not be able to become the pope in the end. In order to become pope, the support of other cardinals is essential. That’s something to repay since it’s not good intentions. But what kind of cardinal will support you if your eyes are sold on a war that doesn’t help at all?

‘Damn it, this is why I hate politics.’

It was a war that I had hoped so much for, but I had to miss it like this.

If this is the case, can’t the war be postponed until later?

“Okay…”

“I don’t know what you’re worried about, but please calm down.”

“Whoa, yes.”

As Tesari said, I had to come to my real senses.

The Third Alliance will come to meet you soon.

‘The warrior’s party…. Hmm, I hope it will be all right.’

“Heh heh, it’s only been five days, Cardinal.”

“…Right.”

Luciano, who had lightly glanced at the old monster that was unpleasant to see again, turned his head to check his surroundings.

It seems that all the warriors’ party also came out to meet them. Only then did a sigh of relief come out at the same time. I hope the day will come when I worry about them. Fiora and the warriors were the same, but the rest didn’t matter at all.

‘Tsk. I’m old too.’

“I’ll guide you to your accommodation, so come in and rest.”

“A hostel? What does that mean? We must be outside…”

“Keukeulheul, then would you like to use it?”

“…?”

“I’ll have to train hard from now on, so wouldn’t it be okay if I stayed at the inn for a couple of days?”

“Under.”

A snort comes out.

What is this old man thinking all of a sudden?

For all sorts of reasons, it was the leader himself who was reluctant to show the inside of the city and castle. It would be understandable if it was a castle, but it was a car that many people were suspicious of because it was suspicious that they tried to keep the city a secret, but they suddenly tried to drag it in.

‘No way…. No, that’s not it.’

“Huh? But two days?”

It’s a little strange that it’s not just one day, but two days.

At Luciano’s question, the leader laughed with a sputum boiling sound.

“I’m preparing a banquet for my cardinal and you, the Holy Hammer.”

“Banquet?”

“Today, after the banquet, we can relax, take a rest tomorrow, and resume training the next day. At that time, we will actively cooperate with the training.”

“…”

Luciano thought briefly and the conclusion was easily drawn.

At least for the training here, the cooperation of the three-pronged alliance is essential.

If you get into trouble with this old man here, the only thing you’ll like is the cardinals from the hostile faction of the Holy See. Maybe the leader is trying to use this as a pretext to gain advantage.

‘I bet they haven’t already made a deal.’

“Okay, let’s do that.”

“Keukeulheul, that’s very fortunate.”

Relief.

It’s a very irritating way of speaking.

Normally, he might have just passed by, but the leader’s words touched Luciano’s heart.

However, it passed because it was not usual. Now is the time to focus on other things. In that sense, staying in the city can be an advantage on the contrary. To catch an ogre, you have to enter an ogre’s lair.

Secret eyes looked at Tessaly.

‘Careful. You never know when you’ll explode.’

‘Of course.’

All of the Holy Hammer and priests entered the capital of the Three-Area Alliance nervously.

Among the formal members, the senior officer Lee Sang was unconcerned.

Although they have never experienced war, they have accumulated considerable practical experience.

On the other hand, the less senior paladins and apprentices showed a tense attitude from their faces. The uneasy gaze and the head that keeps looking around. It’s something that Luciano was worried about, but it’s not something that can be easily fixed just by paying attention.

“…”

In any case, all these attitudes reached the ears of the three-pronged alliance.

‘Why?’

What the hell is that suspicious attitude?

Even if he had tried to devise something in advance by holding hands with Arsha, he would not have even informed the apprentices, unless he was at the level of the leader. Then, where does that strange attitude come from?

“… I don’t understand.”

Not knowing what the situation is.

This is what the 3rd Alliance member hates the most.

Daughter and daughter.

“Jul. …Investigate. Numbers 3 to 7 are the route of the Divine Hammer, and members 8 to 11 are members. However, the members must not use dangerous moves. Considering a cautious attitude and unity, it is unconditional Get caught, okay ?”

Nod

The loyal limbs made of hallucinations and suggestions moved.

However, Maengju could not suppress her anxiety over her.

Fear and chills crawl up your back for no reason.

“No, it’s okay. There’s no way I’ll get into trouble with just this. I’ll… Rise to a higher position. Until I get everything…!”

The pitch-black eyes gave off a ghastly glare.

However, the dozen or so limbs he sent never returned.

Even the next day.

Up close.

‘Why? Why don’t you come back Even though I didn’t set the time, they’re not that stupid. You must have come back today!’

There were still three or four hours until the evening banquet.

However, it is not enough to establish and move something based on information.

Moreover, even Arsha is not showing any special movement yet.

Are the preparations already over?

‘I can’t understand. Why…. Why… !’

It was then.

Rattle.

“…… ?!”

The leader wakes up started by a sudden sound from behind.

There lay a bloodied Jule.

“What…!!”

I hurriedly run to Jules.

Jule wrote something on the floor.

‘Danger?’

What the hell is that dangerous?

Confused, I tried to ask it, but Jool was already dead.

“…”

The subordinate he cherished died, but the 3rd allied lord calmly examined its condition.

Jules is the master. Here, he used drugs to strengthen his body to the limit. Thanks to him, his whole body his, including his face his, is wrapped in bandages, but it was rather helpful in hiding his identity his. Even though he is such a secretive and strong Jule.

‘One arm was torn off, and one leg was cut. What the hell are you fighting for….’

What came to mind at that moment were the chimera monsters that appeared in the Holy Kingdom.

However, no matter how strong the Chimera monster was, it was not enough to kill Zul and other limbs so brutally.

“… I can’t help it.”

The lord furrowed his forehead and let out a sigh.

Really can’t help it.

I hate this kind of thing the most, but I think I should prepare for the unexpected.

“I’ll have to move first.”

Dinner a few hours later.

A grand banquet for the warrior party and the Sacred Hammer began to be held.

Hundreds of people gathered in a huge banquet hall.

The leader did not invite more than half of the tribal heirs to the banquet hall on the pretext that the space was limited. And all the successors who decided to cooperate with Arsha were absent. Realizing that as she looked around her ballroom, she clicked her tongue.

‘I wonder if it’s as expected.’

Anyway, the mission given to them is to distract the alertness of the three-pronged alliance and attract attention.

Quite a few people will lock them in the room and watch them.

“I’ll have to apologize later.”

“Heirs?”

Valdes received Arsha’s self-talk.

She froze for a moment, but she soon returned to her usual expressionless expression.

“Yes… No, yes.”

“Do you even have to apologize? It won’t help anyway.”

“Still, from now on…”

Arsha’s body her stopped talking.

The identity of the man sitting next to her and his purpose flashed in her mind. Such a thought springs to mind. Maybe only the ruler sitting at the top is different, and their situation may still be the same.

But no regrets. The Lord of the Third Alliance is an evil and cunning tyrant, but before that, he is the enemy of his tribe and father his. He believed it would at least be better than this, judging from what Valdes has shown so far.

‘Either Jung or I can use my body….’

“Be nervous.”

Flinch.

“…Yes.”

“But don’t be too nervous. A fight will happen soon, so it shouldn’t look too awkward.”

Arsha turned her head, calming her tension with his pat on the back of her.

The three-pronged alliance owner, whose expression is uncharacteristically stiff.

In an instant, our eyes met.

The main lord frowned when he found Arsha.

And he laughed silently.

Daughter and daughter.

At the same time, an unknown bell sound is heard.

“Ugh. Kkeuh…”

“…?”

The hero, Kang Jin-hyeok, has fallen.
