Chapter 29: The Rich (2)

Jamie couldn't understand why they were trying to defend Guerin in such an ignorant way.

It seems that he was trying to hold on somehow until Kryon's army arrived.

In fact, at least 20,000 troops were heading here.

They were fewer than Katarina's army, but Kryon was included there.

Five years ago, he was the one who messed up Apton, killed the Archbishop of the Pyro Church, and even summoned the Demon Baron.

At that time, there was no proper match due to the overwhelming difference in power, but now it is different.

"But I have no intention of waiting for you guys to arrive."

As long as you're bringing the army, you have a little more time to arrive.

Even if it's overkill, we need to retake Guerin.

It's up to you to meet them.

'Let's go back for now.'

It was already well past noon.

By now, the army of his father, Earl Welton, would have also arrived in Aegean.

Originally, it was right to wait and meet up, but I came here because I wanted to retake Guerin quickly.

And, I thought it was good.

Because I personally confirmed that Kryon's army was coming.

Now you can strategize based on that.

Jamie teleported towards Aegeene.

As soon as I arrived at Aegean in an instant, I felt the enormous energy of the two beings in the castle.

One belonged to Earl Welton, but the other was a little strange, and he seemed to have felt it somehow.

'Who is it?'

It felt like a magician.

However, Simon and Linmer are already here, and Siegfried is in Yvrie Sea Country.

All that was left was the 5th elder Luke Pretzel and the 6th elder Adelhardt, but they were not separated so long that they could not feel the energy of the two.

Besides, the aura I felt was far beyond the level of the 7th class.

'You'll find out when you check it out.'

Jamie went straight into the castle.

Since his face was already known, no one stopped him.

Jamie entered the room with the greetings of the vassals and headed straight to the top floor.

It wasn't long before I last saw my father, Earl Wellton.

about two months?

But maybe it was because there were a lot of things in between, mentally, it felt like seeing him after a few years.

Feeling that pounding heartbeat, Jamie opened the conference room door.

Sitting in front of the door, a middle-aged man with emerald-colored hair like himself was smiling happily.

"Are you here, Jamie?"

When Earl Wellton said nothing to his son, whom he had seen for the first time in two months, Jamie felt a sense of relief.

Jamie smiled broadly and said hello to his father.

I'm home.

* * *

haha. Am I in Highs?"

"That's it."

"Fufu."

As Linmer opened his mouth to alternately glance at Earl Welton and Jamie, Simon responded to him.

Beiryl just smiled.

Earl Wellton came to his senses at the three people's reactions and said as if he was amused.

"Excuse me for this. Sit down, Jamie. Let's unravel it later.

Ah yes.

Maybe it's because it's been two months since I've seen him, he was acting like he was doing at home without being conscious of his surroundings.

Jamie sat down, coughing for nothing, with a face she hadn't seen in a very long time sitting next to her.

Oppen simply raised his hand to greet him.

"Long time no see, Jamie. Oh, should I call you three elders now?"

"First Elder. You came out of hiding."

Somehow, it was unfamiliar, but when I said I felt it somewhere, it was the energy of the first elder.

I didn't notice it because it's been 5 years.

However, it was quite surprising.

'What has happened in five years?'

The other elders did not stop training mentally and physically for five years, and they achieved considerable results after devoting themselves to it.

However, Offen's realm seemed to have gone beyond the limit.

When I saw it in the past, it was slightly higher than Rinmer, but now I am standing at least half a level higher.

Even in class 8, it's very late.

'Maybe, it may have reached the supreme state.'

It was impossible to fully grasp the depth of it because he had captured his powers well, but the current Offen was a magician at a unique level in the kingdom, except for himself.

"What are you staring at?"

"Ah, long time no see... ."

"It's spicy. Let the meeting begin."

It was Earl Wellton who sat at the top, but Oppen was the oldest, so he announced the start of the meeting first.

Earl Wellton nodded and said.

"The urgent thing is to retake Guerin. I think it would be difficult to attack with magic, but what do you think should be done?"

"Before that, I have something to tell you."

"Tell me."

Earl Wellton agreed, and Jamie nodded and told them what he had seen.

"Kryon, the sword of Zenith, is marching here with about 20,000 men."

what?

"Is that real, Jamie Welton?"

Jamie nodded and added a supplementary explanation.

"Estimated arrival time is 4-5 days from now."

When the specific schedule was mentioned, the masters quickly began to discuss their plans for the future.

"In four or five days Quite fast."

"Twenty thousand troops are troops, but if the commander is Kryon, the assortment will be very different from the last time."

"There's no way the master class could be alone."

Hmm. Should we abandon Aegean and also move to the rear and build a defensive line?"

"It might be better to quickly retake Guerin and build a defense there. Guerin was quickly captured, so there must be plenty of supplies left. Moreover, since it is a city that crosses the border, there have been frequent clashes with Therizia since ancient times. It will certainly be well guarded and well equipped for our use."

"I think the same. Therizia has to be drilled anyway, and Guerin is the only way to Therizia. You must get it back. Because we can't just be right like this."

They exchanged opinions quickly and tenaciously expressed what they thought was necessary.

Because it was such a serious situation.

Jamie opened her mouth as she listened to them.

"If I capture Kreon, will I be able to penetrate the first gate of Thergia, Giodo Castle?"

While we were talking about the need to recapture Guerin and the need to abandon Aegean and build a defensive line from the rear, everyone was silent when the opinion came out of nowhere to charge.

That's because it was a proposal that omitted the intermediate process.

" What does it mean to break through the Giodo Castle?"

Earl Wellton asked his son with a slightly bewildered face, and Jamie spoke as if it was nothing special.

"We've gathered this much power, can't we get our Guerin back right away?"

No matter how many thousands of anti-magic artifacts were laid out, there were not many troops available for Guerin.

According to the investigation, the commander Nishiro was the sword master, but in the end he was alone.

On the other hand, how many masters are there?

Even with the exception of himself, there was a powerful sword master named Earl Welton.

Jamie never thought that his father would lose to something like Nishiro.

"It's enough for me, my father, and 100 elite soldiers. Tonight, you and I will retake Guerin."

Earl Wellton didn't know how to react to Jamie's outspoken remarks.

One thing is certain.

'my Is this my son?'

The father, who had never worked with his son, was puzzled for the first time.

* * *

Siegfried saw Jeon Seo-gu flying toward the west of the Cheshan Kingdom.

It contained a very important document, and I did not take my eyes off it until it was safely away.

Fortunately, Jeonseo-gu disappeared safely and out of sight.

"Come to Aegean safely."

He sighed briefly, then picked up the telescope again. And I saw the forces of the enemies that were lined up beyond the continental border.

That place was in the direction of the Kingdom of Kwatacha, an eastern country bordered by the Sea of Yvrie and the maritime border.

Just two days ago, tens of thousands of troops had already begun to gather there.

It had only been two weeks since the invasion of the Cheshan Kingdom had been largely unsuccessful.

In the circumstances of such a great loss, the Eastern Union once again made a bold investment and was aiming for liberation in Yvry.

"How much can you stop them if they come?"

Siegfried asked the man standing next to him.

It was a fairly old man with gray hair, but the figure wearing his armor was the status of a general.

In fact, a man, Delkit, was a prominent commander of the Yvrie Sea, and was a hero who led the naval battles against Kwatacha to victories on several occasions.

He was also the lord of this place, the border city of Rakham.

He said.

"They say that 3,000 troops dispatched from Rendry will arrive tomorrow."

"I heard that Sword Master Kalgar is also there."

"It will still be difficult."

"It would be, too."

Originally, the Kwatacha Kingdom had 1.5 times greater national power than the Yvrie Sea Kingdom.

However, with the support of the Zenith Church and the eastern countries joining forces, it seemed that the number of troops in sight would easily exceed 30,000.

Including the invisible places, it is at least 50,000.

There were 50,000 troops used by Therizia to invade the Cheshan Kingdom.

If you see that you have collected that much but haven't competed yet, it must be that you are not ready.

Gather your troops in such an openly visible place.

This means only one thing.

"I must prepare my heart."

No matter how much a country's hero is, seeing the constantly influx of enemy troops will inevitably lead to a drop in morale.

"I think it would make sense to build a defense line in Grace Mountain, thinking that this place will give."

Grace Mountain was a gateway city to the north and boasted a natural fortress as it was surrounded by a huge canyon.

As long as you hold on there, no matter how many enemies there are, you won't be able to break through it easily.

Instead, building a defensive line there was no different than handing over the three castles, including Rakham Castle, to them.

It was a fatal loss, but I decided it was unavoidable in the current situation.

But Siegfried did not agree with that opinion.

"It is too early to give up yet."

"What do you mean?"

"Whether to defend this place or not is a matter of who moves faster."

"Who moves faster? It's hard to understand."

"Simply put, it's never too late to make a decision after seeing what's going on in your neighborhood."

At those words, Delkit shook his head with a face that he understood.

"You mean I mean, the speed at which Jamie Welton retakes Guerin will change the outcome of this place in Rakham.

you're right. By now, the army led by Earl Welton should have reached Aegean. a week if not. That's where Guerin's situation will come to an end.

"If the Cheshan side wins That wizard, who has reached the highest level, will be able to come over here at once."

"The question is, how long can we survive here?"

The troops gathering in the Kingdom of Kwatacha will be completed within the next day at the latest.

Because they also have no reason to procrastinate.

Fortunately, Yvrie Sea State is a peninsula-shaped state, and Rakam is a maritime city at its tip.

It was the same with Kwatacha, but Rakam only has to do Mercury somehow, as they will attack from there.

But even this was not easy.

Delkit murmured in a slightly heavy voice.

"The only thing I'm worried about is that it's so close to Kwatacha that you can see it through a telescope."

To the surprise of Yvrie Liberation and Kwatacha Kingdom, the distance between the last cities was only about 30 km.

With a good telescope artifact, it wasn't hard to figure out what was going on there.

Aren't you watching the enemy's troops gather here right now?

In other words, even if you bring a boat, it will not be a big crowd, and it may fly by magic.

It was not impossible to bombard them with long-range magic.

"I am."

Then, Siegfried opened his mouth in a confident tone.

Delkit looked at him and spoke with a face that said rude.

"I'm sorry. I forgot that the wizard of space was by my side."

Siegfried in space.

The only Archmage in the Kingdom of Seldam who came a long way to help the liberation of Yvrie.

He would be able to block the enemy until Jamie Welton comes in for support.

"If you do your best, you can defend this place. And if you succeed in holding it... ."

Siegfried looked at the enemy in the distance and opened his mouth.

"Next time there will be a fire there."

So you must win, Jamie.

Siegfried swallowed and shut his mouth.
