Chapter 26

Episode 26

“Please wipe out all the republican bastards who are calling nonsense like revolution!”

“Aha, good. Then, from the looks of it, this is the Royalist (RoyaKst) faction.”

One of the men in the castle raised his voice, and Yoosung nodded calmly.

“Be quiet.”

It was right then. A voice rang out. At the same time, the commotion in the hall stopped all at once.

When the shooting star turned its head, the nobles split apart like Moses' sea, and a man appeared there.

“The two guests willingly came to this earth for my sake.”

“Well, just by looking at it, you have the appearance of a king.”

A pot-bellied man was sitting on a throne.

“What greater proof can there be than this that my throne was given to me by God!”

“It is as you said, Your Majesty!”

“God is protecting Your Majesty’s throne!”

“With this, it won’t be long before the traitors’ heads will be hung in the square!”

The nobles all bowed their heads, and Yoo Seong looked at the king's sagging belly in silence. “

Then, without going on for too long, just tell me the situation.”

“Oh oh! Truly trustworthy comrade, but please wait a moment!”

At those words, the King shook his head as if it were absurd and said,

“Before that, we are planning to hold a grand festival for our visitors.”

Early that morning, in a room in the castle, Yoosung looked at Maria’s expression and asked,

“You don’t look good. Did you enjoy the meal?”

“I knew it would be like this when I saw the name of the tower.”

“Well, I don’t feel very good about fighting for a pot-bellied oppressor. I don’t know which side to call the bourgeoisie.”

At the saint's words, I lowered my head, thinking it was Yooseong. A map of the area was drawn on the table. The place where Yooseong and Maria were located was Old Castle, the capital of the kingdom. And there were enemies tightly surrounding the capital

. It was marked with chess pieces.

A republican revolutionary army that resists the oppression of kings and nobles and cries out to bring a new era for the people. “

Such an extravagant party when the capital is under siege. People are still starving in the streets.” “They don’t even care about things like fields.”

“Well, from what I can see, this guy looks a bit like a villain.”

“Yuseong was planning to attack this tower with the guild players sometime today, right before he came to France.”

Yoosung shrugged his shoulders and Maria calmly continued,

“Yuseong appeared just then.”

“...I guess the monarchs had a hand in it.”

“There is a high probability of that happening. Still, I am glad that I was able to enter this tower with Yoosung.”

Maria nodded with a wry smile.

In the world of towers, there are no such things as unexpected occurrences.

For example, the professor's escape tower just happened to lead to France, where a saint was nearby, or the swordsman and Yu competing in a race at the beginning of the season. If you happen to enter one of the towers at the right time and engage in a duel,

there is a high possibility of encountering a player you don't normally get along with in a tower shaped like a single-legged bridge, and if you happen to come out to the passage on the other side of the tower at the right time, there is also a high possibility of encountering a player you know.

Players are drawn to players because the power of monarchs who always want to see a new stage is at work.

And the next morning, that's what happened.

“Kick out the Ancien Regime!”

“Send in the revolutionary army and stop the hopeless resistance!”

The people of the capital, Old Castle, were gathering in front of the royal

castle and demonstrating. Then, armed royalist troops poured into the crowd and began to quickly suppress the protest.

Guns and swords danced around, and blood was sprayed.

“Rise up, awakened ones of Old Castle! Rise up for the revolution!”

“Didn’t you fight for the cause of the new spirit of the times for our revolutionary army just before now?”

“It was truly the second coming of a saint that left no room for doubt...! “Thanks to the saintly lady’s actions, we were so close to victory!”

When Maria heard those words, her expression froze.

Only then did Yoosung understand why she needed his help.

“It’s not your first time in this world.”

“...It’s so ironic and cruel. “When I first started fighting for them, I didn’t hesitate at all.”

“The saint’s conscience should be an ordinary conscience/

And those who fought together, those who believed they were fighting for what was right, have now become enemies to be fought against. That must have been a pang of conscience that a saintly woman could never overcome.

That's why Yooseong didn't care. Immediately after

hitting

, bullets of cold air scattered from Yoosung's fingers. The ice bolt hit several revolutionary soldiers and swallowed the saintess.

“Do we still seem like noble apostles executing God’s will?”

As if a shooting star was blocking the saint's path, she adjusted the hilt of her sword. And said. In a voice without the slightest emotion-

“So, this is your final warning. Stop chasing like this and retreat. “We also don’t want to shed your blood anymore.”

“That can’t be possible.”

One of the cavalrymen of the revolutionary army responded, heedless of Yooseong's threats.

“Liberty Equality Fraternity.”

“...I’ve heard this a lot somewhere.”

After Yoosung muttered that, he soon realized that it was one of the slogans of the French Revolution.

“Even if the person standing in the way is an intruder, it doesn’t change anything.”

One of the revolutionary soldiers muttered coldly.

“From now on, we will carry out tactics against insiders!”

“Be careful, Yoosung.”

“There’s no way it’s just a musket cavalry fighting in a tier 6 tower/”

Yoosung nodded, saying he wasn’t surprised at Maria’s words.

“Carry out anti-invader tactics with the Ironside at the forefront!”

“Never break the battle line!” Clap, clap, clap!

It was right then. Revolutionary troops from all directions lined up with muskets, and soldiers they had never seen before began to join them.

Unlike the gun soldiers they had faced so far in the Iron Age, they were covered in heavy, water-tight armor.

“Execute the armored tactical stance!”

“Tactical posture implemented!”

At the same time, the iron armor began to wriggle around their bodies like living creatures.

Like a reinforced exoskeleton, the armor covered and assimilated the troopers' bodies, allowing them to understand what was happening there.

Some kind of magical power contained in the armor is merging with their bodies as one.

Before we knew it, the soldiers of the Iron Age were wearing smooth, reinforced armor.

“Magic armor...

Yooseong muttered quietly and the Iron Guard stretched out their arms in unison.

At the same time, the arm of the armor began to twist and take the shape of a gun barrel. Immediately afterwards, black gunpowder was scattered along the gun barrel.

“Start shooting!”

“Maintain formation and cover the iron column!”

The black powder of the musket infantry surrounding the area was also sprayed.

And a shield of light blocked his path, and Yooseong silently adjusted the hilt of his sword and grabbed it.

Before we knew it, the iron squad, sprayed with black gunpowder, had adjusted their swords and started rushing towards them.

The battle worthy of the name of the 6th tier tower had finally begun, and the enemies were in front of it.

It was the military.
