Chapter 474
C474
Only fifteen people were left in Gaifa when the main unit of Zipple Magic Tower and reinforcements from the main house arrived.
Five Zipple members, five members of the Vermont imperial family, and five beastmen from Kinzelo.
The rest were killed by the Proch brothers, Vigo, and their knights.
Members of the three factions had already lost both their strength and fighting spirit, so they couldn't stand against the Runcandels and the Proch brothers.
Vigo had considered capturing Sandra Zipple in the process.
But "Murakan and Jin just returned," he made a very wise judgment and decided not to capture her.
He remembered it was a situation where he should respect the position of a Flagbearer who, although lower in external hierarchy, had a much higher practical rank.
He thought he shouldn't ignore the decision of the Family's guardian deity and a Flagbearer whose real rank was much higher than his, though lower in external hierarchy.
"Vigo Runcandel, right? Hahaha, you must have wanted to capture me, but you made quite a smart decision."
Sandra chuckled while sipping the fruit juice in front of her.
They were in the commander's room of the Kozec battleship.
The other pure-blooded members of Zipple who had organized as a support team for the rescue had moved to other places...
Naturally, she occupied the commander's cabin.
"Vigo would have died today if he hadn't given up on capturing me. Hmmm, if it had turned out that way, I wonder if my Jin would have been sad. Jin didn't seem particularly close to him."
"Sigh~."
The elder sitting across from Sandra let out a frustrated sigh.
He was Zipple's second-class butler, named "Hedo."
Hedo was also a muscular man who didn't fit the image of the butler for the world's most famous Mage Family.
His bulging muscles seemed to express his very conflicted mood.
"Miss, you should have defended yourself properly even after Jin Runcandel left."
"Is that so?"
Sandra's completely carefree attitude seemed to be churning Hedo's insides.
"I don't know if Vigo doesn't know this, but if the Proch brothers had died, my Jin would have definitely been sad, Hedo. You should think about that. Jin and I are in love, you know?"
Hedo shook his head.
The fact that Sandra was an extremely eccentric young lady was something he had known for a long time.
But suddenly...
Love?
Romance?
Moreover, she fell in love with Jin, of all people, the Twelfth Flagbearer of Runcandel.
What kind of joke is this from the heavens?
Such a situation had never occurred before.
However, what he was sure of was that, whatever the reason she had suddenly fallen in love with Jin, Sandra would never abandon her feelings in the future.
Hedo had seen Sandra Zipple for a long time, and she was that kind of person.
A completely spoiled brat, an incredibly uncompromising human!
It was not a matter that would end as a mere love affair or fleeting romantic emotions.
Hedo found it difficult to suppress the tumultuous feelings.
"...And, Miss, that arm. Are you really going to leave it as it is?"
"Yes."
"You can heal it, right? Why would you leave it like that?"
"I can commemorate my encounter with Jin every time I see my amputated right arm."
"Miss, you're right-handed. You've done everything with your right hand your whole life..."
"I can eat with my left hand from now on."
"It will definitely be inconvenient, very inconvenient."
Hedo was left speechless as he tried to control his anger.
"Heheh, it's okay. It's all for love!"
If the leader were in perfect condition, he would have fixed it quickly.
But for now, Bouvard only relied on painkillers.
To persuade Amela, Kinzelo decided to highlight the fact that they had more information about the "Chaos" than any other faction.
As a result, Kinzelo's best warriors brought some of Bouvard's Chaos when they went to Gaifa, in the form of sculpture.
The result was a great success.
Amela felt extremely satisfied when she realized that Chaos could merge, creating even more powerful abilities.
She felt like she had gained a clue about the Chaos she had been searching for alone for a long time.
From then on, Amela didn't even negotiate with other forces.
It was because someone had spoken to her through Bouvard's Chaos.
"If you join me, I'll tell you everything you want to know about Chaos..."
The voice was strangely trustworthy.
"The leader even sent a message to Amela with his exhausted body. Amela, she, showed her stance that she would kill our warriors once the negotiation was over, saying that we still had to pay for bothering her, but I decided to endure it."
Cracked, Berakt continued grinding his teeth as if going crazy.
In the healing room on the other side, five warriors from the White Wolf Tribe and the Red Tiger Tribe who had returned from Gaifa were receiving treatment.
"But now Amela has died, our warriors have been massacred, the survivors are completely mad, and Bouvard is in that state! We gained nothing and only suffered severe damage."
How to accept that the center of all these bad news is Jin Runcandel?
Berakt couldn't comprehend it.
Margiella, who was also listening, showed a rare somber expression.
"I'm sorry, Berakt-nim. Honestly, I didn't expect Jin-nim to be so uncooperative."
"You don't have to apologize to me, Margiella! I said it because I'm frustrated. The leader's condition is constantly in danger... so something has to change, don't you think?"
Berakt shrugged, pointing at a map on the table.
There were several marks on the map, representing Kinzelo, Runcandel, Zipple, and Vermont, indicating strategic points for their operations.
Berakt spoke while pointing at a point on the map where many marks gathered.
"What should we do if, by chance, Jin Runcandel causes trouble here and starts meddling again?"
It was the place where the "thing greater than Amela" was at stake, as Jin expected in Gaifa.
"At that moment..."
Margiella paused.
"At that moment, I will seriously consider whether Jin-nim is the right person to be with us, Berakt-nim."
"Yes, you should consider it."
"I hope Jin-nim doesn't know what's happening here. If he continues to obstruct us, he might really become our enemy."
"Hmm!"
Not expecting Margiella to take this calmly, Berakt cleared his throat as if embarrassed.
In reality, Berakt had no choice but to agree with Margiella, even if she insisted that she was always right and expressed her disgust.
"Well, he probably doesn't know. If he knew, he would have gone there first, not to Amela."
"That's true, Berakt-nim."
"By the way, it's a pity that our vice-leader can't witness Bouvard's state. He would have loved to see Bouvard suffering like this."
"Yes, he would have been very pleased. But Berakt-nim, you know that Bouvard-nim is our friend, right?"

Meanwhile...
The Black Knight of Runcandel, Dox McRolan, was infiltrated in the southern region of Hufester, Rikalton, to fulfill Jin's orders.
And as he checked the basement of Rikalton's Execution Ground, he noticed a strange and terrible phenomenon.
"What... is this?"
