296 The beginning of war.

On an ambitious night, I was deep meditating in the training room. I was getting closer and closer to my essence, focusing more and more consciousness in this quiet space with no one.

It was an exploration of the spirit world.

I've only tasted failure endlessly the past day, but I can never give up. Some of us need to become Soul Masters to have some hope in the last war, because I was the one who was predicted to have the most potential.

Of course, Savannah is counting on Grandpa Cloud and Grolmog, who are on the highest ground, but I don't think so. I once visited a place called the Spirit World.

Although I don't remember, it's obvious.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back to life after I died in my previous life.

I didn't mean to, but I've been there once. There was no reason not to go back.

Soon after I entered the spirit world, I frowned because of the violent memories of my past.

Fear of the Age of Doom.

This memory was the biggest challenge for me in the spirit world. I had to think it was pointless, but the memories held my feet and never let go.

So I decided to hold on to this memory even more. Optimal meditation is a state of unconsciousness, but I had a path in the cloudy memory here.

Eventually, I quietly walked towards a deeper memory, throwing myself into a turbulent flow of horror and suffering experiences.

‘I am the last. ’

I have reached the end, walking through the flow of long memories.

In my brain, I saw myself lying on the land of the dead. Wounded by death, I desperately crawled to the place where a horde of horseshoes brutally swept away with one determination to find Jojo, the only companion of my life.

Even the horrors surrounding the dead warriors were invisible to me at that time. In my memory, I was the only one with a mind to find the yo-yo.

I shouted for joy when Gear found Joseon in a soldier's corpse.

But now I feel awkward. I clearly remember the eagerness of the passage, and I understand the feeling of the passage, but I feel as though I am not myself.

There must be one reason. I don't just have yojo with me right now. There are lovers, there are friends, there are colleagues who share the will.

In other words, I was not the only one who relied on jojo at the time.

"Phew. Am I not who I was?" I can't believe I'm different from myself. This is ridiculous, too. ’

I had a little epiphany, but I stopped and focused on my past consciousness. That's why I came here. That's why I'm holding the ritual.

I watched my life slowly fade away in a cold posture. The path of the soul that I once passed was stretched out before me. I couldn't miss a single poem.

Soon, the illumination in the luminosity shone greatly behind the appearance of me closing my eyes with almost all of my life lost. It was the first and last magic in my life.

But the magic I had seen had greatly run from the ark. It was a light, but not a light. But there was no way to confirm it now. Because my consciousness now was being dragged somewhere along with my consciousness in the past.

Where the hell am I? ’

Where I arrived, there was only meaning, and there was no shape. But it was full enough. To the extent that my past consciousness is considered humble.

My past consciousness, which had reached something huge, roamed around as if it were a quiet conversation. No, it was like a spiritual conversation. There's no way I can't hear you right now if you're having a ritual conversation.

My consciousness of the past disappears immediately somewhere. At the same time, the current consciousness was sucked into one place.

I was the first person to wake up in a splendid bedroom on spring day.

At that moment, I woke up from meditation with my eyes wide open.

What was that? Who the hell was I talking to? ’

But with the ease of memories vanishing like a dream, I focused my mind and continued to restore the memories I saw today. Enlightenment can be obtained later. Now I had to use my memory as an intact anomaly just before it became the basis of my realization.

After a while, I walked out of the training room. For a deep night, it was so dark that it could not be discerned within the palace of Kara.

‘Yes, I met something. What the hell is that thing? ’

I slowly looked at the illumination hanging from my waist.

“Is that you? ”

Yojo did not express positivity or negativity to my question. It was as if your life was now a silence that felt as if you had asked me to go.

"Are you mad at me for not paying attention? Well, I've been too careless lately. So what? Care for your family, save mine, save the world? I'm always busy. You have to understand. ’

At that time, I could see a strange swarm of light forming above the air outside the palace. It looked like someone was moving the space.

While looking at the crowd of lights on the sidewalk, I felt the energy immediately appearing and slowly approached. It was Armida's sister. I gave my sister a free pass to come to the Prosia continent, so I could come down to the ground whenever I wanted.

I waved to Armida, who was floating in the air.

“Sister, welcome. ”

Armida turns her head away from me in a frenzy. I guess I've been pretty grumpy with Kronos lately.

“Brother, don't make me tell you. I'm just here to see the others. ”

“What's wrong with you? That's not what you and I are, is it? ”

Armida's sister flies up to the ledge just ahead and screams.

“Does this happen to someone you know well? I heard you're getting ready for war with Kronos. ”

“Huh."

“You can't do that! ”

“Why?”

“You don't know how much we Kronos care about humanity? ”

I stretched my arms out onto the ledge.

“Well, so far, so good. But not from now on. ”

Armida still stared at me with a pouting face.

“What are you talking about? ”

“Sooner or later, she's going to kill me and all of humanity. The whole of Kronos. ”

“Don't be ridiculous! ”

“That's right. You know what happened last night? It's all happening for a reason. And you think Italy's messing with you for nothing. It's her mission. Well, I have my doubts lately. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

I put a index finger on my mouth.

“Secret. It's dangerous to talk about it here. ”

“I won't hurt you. You don't think I'd hurt her? ”

“It's not me, it's my sister. So don't tell anyone what you just said, just know it. And the day may come when you know what I mean. I'm worried about my sister, but when you do, run away. Your sister's float. You can move around Siam Nidas, right? ”

“Yes.”

“Space travels at maximum distance and flies far into space. Until it consumes all the energy. ”

Armida shudders at the edge of her eyes, feeling unusual.

“You. What are you talking about? ”

“If there's anything we can talk about, we've already discussed it in detail. Just promise me you'll run. ”

“Why would I? ”

“You'll find out soon enough. Don't ask. So you're just gonna run? ”

Armida sighed for a long time.

“Brother, enough with the secondhand tricks. ”

“A duplicate?”

“The queens have warned me. Don't take your word for it in any case. ”

I shrugged my shoulders and left Armida.

“That's great. Just don't believe it now, just keep your mouth shut. Time will tell the truth. ”

“Brother!”

“Why?”

“Please don't do this. ”

“I can't help it. ”

“Enough. Let's not talk. ”

“Yes. Let's stay like this. ”

Armida's sister throws a word at me as she leaves with an indifferent word.

“That's it. I can't protect my brother any longer. The Queen is furious with her brother's military capture of the Lumen Kingdom. ”

“Is that why you're going to attack? ”

“I can't be sure of the atmosphere. ”

“That's great. Tell him to come if he's coming. I'm sure he'll be very happy to see you. ”

“Brother!”

“That's enough. Let's stop. Goodbye.”

I left my sister Armida screaming at me without hesitation. It was very painful for me to pretend to be with my sister, but I couldn't give up the war on survival between me and humanity.

Now humanity and Kronos have no choice but to reach the end.

* * *

“Grand Duke. The invaders have finished preparing for the Lumen Kingdom. ”

Duke Brian reports I'm standing by. The first war for the survival of mankind was about to begin. As I gave up my free life last day and prepared for this day, I had no choice but to feel new.

Of course, it was a shame that the first war was a patriarch of humanity, but I had no choice.

War was inevitable, as long as the Lumen Kingdom was not able to resist Kronos.

'Cause I hate it when it sucks the most.

When the Lumen Kingdom was overturned in a crucial war to assess the fate of mankind, nothing could be more disgraceful. It was better to branch out beforehand to take such risks.

“Good. Let's go. ”

“But what about the peace offering from the Lumen Kingdom? ”

The envoy from the Lumen Kingdom also included Princess Ignes. Perhaps when this war begins, my relationship with her will cross a river that will never cross again.

No matter how desperate I may have been, I will be the enemy who invaded her homeland by force.

“Lock him up politely. If Queen Lumen dies in this war, Princess Ignes will have to negotiate a truce. ”

“Princess Ignes? Do you intend to kill Queen Lumen? ”

I answered Duke Brian's question lightly.

“Did you see me save the head of the enemy in the war? Even my only uncle is in my hands. The Lumen Queen doesn't change. ”

“But Queen Lumen is respected by many. ”

“I know, but in war, a lot of people die. So the warden must take responsibility and die. There's a price for inability to wage a war you can't win. Isn't that right?”

“Yes.”

“Then let's go. ”

Then I left the city with Duke Brian. I looked satisfied with the endless armored forces. The Lumen Kingdom will be finished in no time. There's no reason for Imperial armored troops to struggle with a running horse with a sword.

“Grand Duke, welcome. ”

When I showed up, the generals who were about to leave the war bowed and greeted me with respect. I shrugged their shoulders and encouraged them.

“It's a war that will soon be over, but it's an important war. Move forward, without negligence. ”

“Yes!”

“Good.”

I've given orders to board the armored squadron's lead vehicle and shout forward to all. Armored vehicles that follow in strange orbits. Immediately, the floaters and the first horsepower fighters flew up into the sky, and they were far ahead.

The only troops deployed in this war were the Yosrahim Empire 100,000, Bastein Kingdom 70,000, Kara Kingdom 30,000 and Ides Kingdom 50,000. And the total combined power of up to 40,000 from other kingdoms is 290,000. With the troops to carry out supply operations and other support operations, and up to 350,000 Central Church troops to take over,

It would have been such a huge war that it would have been hard to find the prevalence.

Of course, the Lumen Kingdom, which only the old army possesses, could be considered to be too strong to attack, but not quite so. Kronos may be involved in this war.

That's why the Sabonians are preparing for war. If Kronos attacks us, we'll be left behind.

Well, Chronos knows about Savondia, so he'll make his preparations, but I don't know if it'll be easy to stop her. The forces of Savannah were building a moderately powerful force with my full financial support.

‘Kronos. I am ready. Here we go. Come anytime. ’
