Plaza in the Chaver territory.

I was in a command barracks.

The map unfolds and the map stares at Saber, the capital of the Rom Kingdom and its borders.

Inside the barracks were Hans, Charlotte, Elise, King Franz, and Haman.

I opened my mouth to look at them.

“The Giant of Flame is advancing. ”

I didn't have a moment's rest.

Somehow, the Giant of Flame was approaching here.

The other lands were ignored.

Fortunately, the Jotuns are simply walking.

However, the pace is not comparable to that of humans, and since they are coming without rest day and night, the pace was enormous.

“Charlotte."

Calling Charlotte, she nods and points her finger at the map.

“If they make their move, they'll be here in six days. ”

Humans are constantly on horseback, and walking alone is enough.

“Then Chaver's territory will burn. ”

I have now spent two days in Shaver territory.

Starting tomorrow morning, we'll need to lead the refugees back across the border into Rome.

“Then let's get going...! ”

Hans shakes his head as if he were frightened.

“I can't. I've looked after my patients, but they're all exhausted. Mentally, physically, it's the limit. You need to rest for two days. ”

We can't start now.

Everyone's tired.

“But if we keep going...! ”

Haman folds his arms in Hans' words.

“They'll catch up.”

It takes seven days to get off the border of Rome and across the border of the Holy See.

Because the refugee procession is too long, the Giants' speed catches up with it.

“Maybe we should borrow some troops and buy ourselves some time. ”

King Franz steps forward.

He thanked me for my family and continued to talk.

“We'll make cavalry and draw them away. ”

“They're not tired, and they're not slow. ”

We can lure them to the cavalry.

However, the cavalry will die without fail.

A Giant of Flame, above all.

Horses will tire soon because it's hard to breathe around them.

After a few hours, only the victims show up.

“We must flee for now. ”

I can't deal with the Giants of Flame, and I can't even deal with the 300 yotoons left and the little vampires.

The heavenly army won't stand a chance.

“We leave early in the morning. ”

It's like resting in Chaver's territory for only two days.

As more than 10,000 refugees, you have to go on a reckless adventure for 7 days.

“And if the Giant of Flame catches up. ”

I forgot what to say.

Keeping his mouth shut, Charlotte spoke on behalf of him.

“In the worst case, someone will have to stay behind and stop them. ”

The people in the meeting room looked surprised.

“And I'm best suited to stop them. ”

Charlotte steps forward and says, I shake my head.

Others say.

They want to stay.

“... a useless sacrifice. ”

Everyone stopped in my words.

In fact, even if someone were to stay, what they could stop would take only a few decades.

They'll catch up to us again.

"Sacrifice doesn't make a difference. Staying is the worst case ever. ”

I really don't want to do this either.

I don't want to lose someone I know.

If there is any left, there should be someone left who can stop this toon.

Yes, I'm the only one who can stop it.

This method increases the highest survival rate.

At that moment, I felt a strange look.

Elise glanced at me quietly.

“Why? What do you think? ”

“No, it's nothing. ”

Elise shakes her head to the left and to the right.

I tilted my head and told others.

“We need to be as calm as possible so that we don't tell the refugees about this. ”

“Hey…. ”

Hans raises his hand.

“What about supplies? ”

Hans picks up supplies for a week from Chaver's territory.

An enormous amount.

“Should I throw it away? ”

If you leave tomorrow, the march will have to discard everything except a certain amount.

It's no use trying to escape.

“No, take the supplies off right now. It's best to eat and sleep well to get some rest. ”

Refugees are starving.

I suggest you provide them with food and a comfortable bed to fill their bellies as tightly as possible tonight.

Hans nods at my words.

“Then, disband with this. You'll be tired too. Rest well. ”

* *

“The Holy Father has unleashed the food! ”

In the square, it's almost like a festival.

Grab a table from an empty house in Chaver territory and line it up with food.

It's not a rare food. It was just unbroken bread, soup full of water, and easy to eat combat food.

However, it will be valuable food for starving refugees for days.

The refugees gathered and shared their food.

I take a deep breath of water and enjoy it a lot.

I hid my identity in a robe and looked around.

The refugees' faces are a little tense.

That's a good sign.

You must be relieved.

If you panic for no reason and can't sleep, it will affect the parade.

I want to eat well and sleep well tonight.

“I thank you. ”

I turned my eyes to the familiar voice.

Grill, Edolf and Yuria are visible in front of a nearby military tent.

There is also Marcus in between.

“I cannot reward you now, but if you return to the Holy See, I will speak to the Holy Father."

Glass rejoiced and said.

“Really?"

“Haha, now Charlotte will see me again. ”

The grill empowers the neck.

Edolf drinks only silently.

I smiled and approached them.

Edolf looks at me and spits a drink in his mouth.

“Seo, Seong...! ”

I put my finger over my mouth.

It meant that I didn't want to cause trouble.

The grill's eyes twist.

Yuria looks up at me and tilts her head.

“You look familiar. ”

Yuria has never seen my face.

He was wearing paladin armor in Ireland, and he was wearing a birdfish mask when he rescued Marcus.

At best, during the Holy Father's succession, I will be able to watch you from afar, waving your hands on the balcony.

“Your Holiness. ”

Marcus adjusts his voice and says small.

At that moment, Yuria misses the glass she was holding as if in shock.

“Ah, Fe, Your Majesty? Do I have to be polite? ”

Yuria panicked, and I shook my hand.

“It doesn't have to be. ”

Yuria stared at me dazed.

Grill spoke to me amicably, crouching at Yuria's reaction.

“Your Holiness! Long time no see!”

Only Hans can see this attitude in this world.

Oh, Luann, Hilda, and Serran? And Mr. Spell.

Surprisingly many.

I smiled bitterly.

“Thank you for saving my family. ”

Marcus bows his head.

"I just did what I had to do as a family. ”

I was the boss, but I didn't have to respect the place because it was a place.

Marcus smiles lightly.

I look around Edolf's group and say,

“You did well, too. I'll reward you later. ”

“Go, thank you! ”

The three men head down.

I nodded, drank, and turned my gaze away.

I saw a familiar one.

It was Lawrence and Roy.

Two people hold hands and eat food walking in the streets of the square.

Roy is really smiling happily.

Lawrence looks tired from the escape, but doesn't lose his smile.

You met a good parent.

So, what happened to White?

Icelandic falls and the news is lost.

I was curious about the news because I was a biological father.

I'm worried about Queen Rox, too.

Well, he would have survived somehow.

I rolled up my mouth to see the refugees smiling, though I was faint in the square with hope.

“At least I feel at ease. ”

At least I was watching them, and my nervousness disappeared.

* *

The next morning.

The refugee procession has again begun.

Now I had to prepare to go to the Holy Father's Law Office as soon as possible.

Otherwise, only despair.

I was also riding a skeleton horse when Charlotte tried to escort me.

“Your Holiness. ”

Elise leans at your side.

Behind her is a wagon waiting.

“Climb aboard.”

“No, it's okay. I'm more comfortable with this. ”

I pointed to the Skeleton Horse.

“If I have a wagon, pick someone else up. That way we can speed things up a little bit."

Elise gives you an embarrassing look.

Charlotte looks at Elise.

“What's the matter? Holy woman.”

“To look at the condition of His Holiness, Count Charlotte. ”

Charlotte stops.

I frowned.

“What are you talking about? ”

Elise clearly looked at me.

“Just to make sure. Please.”

"..."

It was hard to refuse because it was a serious tone.

I got on the wagon.

I took my head off.

Elise touches her back to check her condition.

“What's going on? ”

“We need to do a workup. ”

Elise has changed into her usual tone.

“How long did it take you? ”

“... about five hours. ”

Oh, my God. You want me to keep doing this?

I groaned.

Elise quietly raises her hand on her back as if she were focusing.

I felt the force flowing into my body.

I looked down at the wagon, rethinking my appetite.

There are a lot of books.

It was a book I asked Hans about ancient yotoons.

I opened the book because there was nothing else to do.

It contains ancient stories.

A story about yotoons.

They had four kings.

Frozen Giant Blur.

Giant Shurt of Flame.

The Giant of the Earth, Longini.

Urgarh, the magical giant.

Each of them deals with several attributes.

Originally, they were created by the gods, and they were tasked with balancing and protecting the world.

However, their arrogance crossed the line and tried to destroy life by calling themselves gods and make the world as it is.

A place filled with ice, sparks, and sand.

A barren planet where all life was lost.

That was their ultimate goal.

The gods are angry with their treachery and seal them up.

It was a seal so long ago.

It weakens and the Vampires unseal it.

“Is blur the lowest of them all? ”

Ice Giant Blur.

He is the weakest Giant and is said to have the weakest power.

Oh, my God, the White Bone King, the one who shot and killed with a cannon, he's the weakest?

Then how strong are the other giants?

Next up is Shurt.

He uses the whip of fire and burns everything.

He likes to torture and burn lives, so he is described as a demon in the Bible.

We are being pursued by a suit like that.

At that moment, Elise's gaze mutters in a voice while checking her body.

“It's broken.”

* *

“It's broken.”

Elise looks dazed.

Are you booming? ’

She notices that Allen's body is in serious condition.

It seems to be an artificial body that destroyed and regenerated the body.

In addition, the Frost Giant and Duke Agares were unhesitant for less than a month.

Now I've even used another legendary armor.

It caused a great burden on the body.

‘So far this body has been reckless.... ’

The Holy Father was flogging himself.

It's a miracle we've survived this long.

“... Holy Father. ”

Allen turns to look at Elise, startled.

She puts her forehead against his shoulder.

“What would you do if the Giant of Flame catches up?" ”

“That's right... We'll have to fight.”

“By yourself? ”

Alan is silent.

Elise is angry with him.

Obviously. He'll try to stop it himself.

I will try to solve everything by myself, just like before.

“No, no, no. ”

Elise clenches her fist.

At this rate, there will be a rush that will break your body completely.

Not just the body, but the soul.

Allen asked about Elise's reaction.

“What's the matter? ”

“Don't overdo it. ”

Elise raises her head.

She looks at Allen and says,

“Your Holiness, don't forget. I am an Astorian family. ”

Elise puts her hands on her chest.

“This is Elise Astoria, the great saint who will be assisting you. ”

She said resolutely with a firm will.

“That Elise Astoria swore to fight with you. So."

Elise buries her face on his back once more.

“Trust me. Let me help you. ”
