Episode 560:
There was no one who opposed Smarty’s claim. No, there was no one who could suggest a clearer strategy than that.
In that case, I have no choice but to accept his plan.
The leadership, except for a few specific people, disappeared from Daejeon after the talks broke down.
All that remained in Daejeon was Kang Seol, the three kings of Khan.
“... Should I tell you?”
“Will the people of the empire accept it?”
“It is the only possibility of victory. There are few options left. “If we delay, even this will disappear.”
“But... that doesn’t mean they have to accept death...”
“That’s a choice.”
“....”
“Deciding what the criminal cannot dare to judge. That is a monarch.”
If we respect each individual’s life and freedom, we must let them know all the facts and let them make their own choices.
However, this could intensify into another division ahead of an important war, and in the end, even the original plan would not be properly implemented.
On the contrary, if the monarch keeps silent about the coming calamity, he will be able to make a new breakthrough in the war according to his original plan.
However, the monarch will take responsibility for all of this. Criticism rather than praise will weigh on him, and in the end, he will suffocate under the weight of sin.
“I will stay.”
“...Seolhong.”
“Hong. Hasty judgment will only lead to things being wrong.”
“If someone had to take responsibility for this choice, it wouldn’t matter if it was any of us. “My brother’s will will be my will.”
“....”
“....”
The blood of the dragon flows in these people.
You will be courageous in the face of hardships and stronger in times of crisis.
“The statement that it doesn’t matter to any of us is something that can be considered in another sense.”
“...Did you think so too, Onii-sama?”
Taeyul and Shinyo looked at each other.
“I will stay in Cannes too.”
“Me too.”
“... that!”
“We are the ones who rule. Also, they are just a nuisance on the battlefield. Even if we are on the edge of a blade, it cannot make the blade stronger.”
Taeyul closed his eyes.
“But if we become a place where the blade will one day return, it will have meaning.”
“It would mean that the Khans did not give up on their people.”
Kang Seol listened quietly to this story, and then burst out laughing at the question Seol Hong asked.
“I wonder if the Grand Duke is disappointed with our answer?”
Pisik...
“Before coming here, Toktok predicted that all three kings would remain in Khan.”
“....”
Because that is Khan.
Those who will die bearing their sins have been decided.

Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuureu
went through the hazy fog.
I clearly remember falling asleep, but if I’m not mistaken, this was a dream.
“You’re here.”
“...Janet.”
A dream world realized by madness merchant Janet.
She seemed to be visiting alone today.
When I looked at Snowfall’s energy, it felt like the energy was blocked from entering.
“I plan to whisper today as well.”
“... What is the reason for doing this?”
“I needed to make up my own mind...”
“More than that, those eyes...?”
Inside her demon mask, there was an eyepatch over one eye.
Janet smiled and waved her hands.
“You’ve been paying close attention to my changes, right? “I’m a little touched.”
“I’m usually the type to ask questions when a good eye disappears.”
“You have a caring personality. anyway! “I came today to say goodbye.”
“Goodbye?”
“Because we might never see each other again.”
“....”
What she said was not wrong.
Snowfall may be forced into the final battle.
“I won’t visit here again from now on. So don’t look for it.”
“okay.”
Kang Seol rested her chin on one hand and continued her thoughts.
“Do I have madness?”
“Madness creeps in whenever there’s a story.”
“You can take them all.”
“really?”
“These are things I don’t need anymore.”
Madness was the attention that humans crave, someone’s gaze, and power.
“Ahaha... Are you saying that other people’s eyes can’t shake you anymore?”
“You can think whatever you feel comfortable with. “It’s just...”
Kang Seol said bluntly.
“Because the things I don’t need may be different for you.”
“... gift?”
“The meaning is whatever is convenient.”
“It’s difficult... There is no such thing as a gift for a merchant. “It’s all bribery, right?”
“....”
Janet inadvertently spoke to Kang Seol without her knowledge.
“You know, can I ask you a question?”
“You’re going to do it anyway, right?”
“Hahahaha! “It’s a good thing.”
“Is it good?”
“Okay, from now on, think of it as fighting to come back home.”
“Is that okay?”
“Everyone is like that.”
Having a place to return to means becoming weak. However, sometimes that weakness made the being stronger.
“Don’t die, boy.”
“do not die. dwarf.”
“Ugh... go... go!”
A dwarf who gets angry for no reason and turns around.
The last Castrang heading to Gorduan carried the dwarf and the ogre that greeted him.
The dagger heads to Gorduan’s magnetite.
“Whoa....”
Snowfall arrived at Gorduan’s magnetite ore.
Preparations for war were nearing their end.
A week after that.
Coo coo coo coo...
an abnormal phenomenon occurred.
“What happened...”
Hwioooooo...
Bisu looked up at the sky.
A black pillar that must have risen from Montra began to block the light in the sky.
Midday began to disappear.
Frannan said.
“... Looks like it’s about to start.”
“I guess the enemies weren’t quiet either. “I expected it to some extent, but... it’s an absurd amount of power.”
Whioooooooooo...
The light disappeared.
The night that will continue like this begins.
[Force: Montra summons the polar night.]
[While the polar night is maintained, the energy of the dead becomes stronger.] [
While the polar night is maintained, the restrictions on Montra’s spiritual body are lifted.]
...
“We’re in big trouble!”
A wizard running towards Smarty in a huff.
“The barrier... There is urgent news that the wall has collapsed...”
Khan’s wall has collapsed.
If it weren’t for the magic reactor installed in advance, I wouldn’t have received the news so quickly.
Khan’s crisis.
For some, it is a signal of disaster, but for others, it is a signal to move forward.
“March, all troops move to the target point.”
The speed is very slow.
The beast, led by ogres and giant soldiers, left the outpost and began moving to the border of Montra’s territory.
The movement continued for over half a day, and they were immersed in darkness and could only see with minimal light.
Finally, Bisu arrived at the designated location.
Half a day.
Khan’s screams seemed to reach this place.
Who is the one who is left with painful choices? Where did this first choice originate?
Montra’s huge building could be seen far in the distance.
This is where the Sun Emperor Jin resides.
The black pillar continues from there.
Smart waved his hand and signaled.
That moment.
Grumbling...
Grumbling...
Grumbling...
In an instant, numerous lights appeared.
Between those lights, the ogres’ eyes were colored red.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
...
Hot blood.
Who is the vanguard?
Huuuuuk...
Huuuuuk...
An ogre wearing a bizarre helmet.
The tyrant of Trium who caused Ajanic to fall once.
He is the general of Tymolon.
“Trample everything in sight!”
The ogres, awakened from their wildness by the man’s frantic cries, began to run forward.
“Wow!”
[Force: Montra and Force: Allied Forces’ all-out war begins.] [
Force: Veil is currently part of the Force: Allied Forces.]
[The victorious force absorbs all the era power of the defeated force.]
[Adventure in progress This Campaign: Leads to the Great War.]
[The King does not experience the Long March.] [
