377 It's a month's drive to the New World.

The day of the battle was bright.

As the early spring sun rises at dawn, I am fully armed, and finally, I step outside, stabbing the lumbar cord into my waist.

The mansion garden is awaited by the highest ranking commanders.

I first met Old Cloud and greeted him with a simple greeting.

“You're out already? When you get older, you don't sleep. Is that true? ”

“Hmph. That's how hard you work. ”

“You don't have anything to do at night? ”

Old Cloud grunts.

I approached Duke Fabious in the morning, who was taking in the morning sunlight.

“Gear will follow you? ”

“Don't worry about Polkin Gateway. King Bastein will protect you. ”

“Who cares? I'm worried about my grandfather. ”

“Hmph. My body is in its 20s. ”

The Duke has just joined the Mind Master, so I'm sure he is now in his 20s.

Just below the forehead.

But I could never put this out of my mouth.

I haven't helped make that hair, but I feel sorry for the Duke all the time for some reason.

“Not really.”

Zenbe, who was standing next to Grolmog with a long expression, approaches me.

“Enough nonsense and let's go. All the warriors are waiting for you now. ”

“Okay, I'm going. ”

I went ahead and smiled maliciously and looked at the sunshine that followed me.

“Shura?”

“All aboard the Hildefernos with you. ”

Hildefernos was Katrina's dedicated ship.

At the beginning of the Apocalypse, Katrina formed an organization called Delightful Guardians, which included a large number of my lovers.

Shra, Padilla, Alita, Princess Ignes.

‘Doing useless things. ’

However, there was also an era of destruction that I had experienced in my previous life.

Although it was now only one branch of the human army, it was humanity's hope at the time.

Of course, the last one isn't good, although I don't find it very appealing to me.

“Got it.”

Ilpane sneaks up and stabs him in the side.

“But son-in-law? ”

“Why?”

“Don't get into any trouble on the way. My daughters say she'll never let it go the next time. ”

“You're talking to someone. Stay out of trouble. ”

“What am I? I haven't done anything wrong lately. ”

“Not really. There's a rumor going around. ”

Ilpane has a very unfair face.

“It's a marriage. Is it like having an affair with a formal marriage? The former is strategic, but the latter has no control over the bottom. ”

“What's wrong with you? The latter is also strategic. ”

“Huh?"

“There is such a thing. You don't have to be naive. ”

I took off my wits and moved on.

Soon, I got into a magic car parked in front of the mansion, and I went to a nearby plains with a support fleet.

I broke up with the other commanders here and headed for the black buoy.

It was Siam Nidas, sister Armida's private ship.

“Sister. Welcome. ”

As I got out of the car, I could see Armida's sister on the way out.

Behind her are a group of Elven agents, including Captain Esther.

“Yeah. You ready to go? ”

“Yes, you're the only one who needs to get on. Now, come with me. ”

I entered Siam Nidas with the guidance of my sister Armida.

After arriving at the bridge through a corridor with a number of iron doors, I sat in the backseat.

I stared at the elven agents on the bridge and held my head back.

They were wearing black crew outfits attached to their bodies, which seemed very desirable to me.

“Very good. ”

Armida sat next to me.

“Brother, you've never been on a gurney before? ”

“No, I've been on a few rides. ”

“Really?"

I've been on the Hildefernos in Katrina for a while in my past life, and I've also been on a support fleet in Savannah during the last battle with Kronos.

“Now, take a look at the instrument board and double-check the instrument. ”

That's when I saw Esther move to the captain's seat.

As she gives the order to the undertaker, she looks me in the eye and greets me lightly.

“Esther, how have you been? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

Unlike other times, Esther was very adamant.

I used to look down on everything, but now I look down on the grave.

Perhaps my consideration worked.

I asked Shra to release her family and relatives from the hostage camp, as well as return both the land of the family and her existing identity.

“What about your family?”

“I'm doing well. Just. ”

“Just what? ”

“Queen Shura has asked a lot of questions that are difficult to answer for our family. ”

“What questions? ”

“My relationship with the Grand Duke. ”

I held my head back because I thought it would be enough.

Shura has been asked by me to be considerate of Esther.

Of course, I told them all about the reason without any confusion, but as Shura, it was worth doubting.

“What did you say? ”

“I honestly said I had nothing to do with it. ”

“Do you believe me?"

“No.”

“Not really.”

Armida looked at Esther and me alternately.

“Sister, were you really not there? ”

At that moment, Esther looked at her with a very uncomfortable look, and I shrugged my shoulders and actually said the same.

“It really wasn't there. ”

“That's odd. They said there was definitely something there. ”

“Oh, really. Not everyone sees people. ”

“Then why did your brother care about Esther's family and family? ”

“I don't care. Esther raised the ball, and that's how much she paid me. ”

Armida blinks.

“What ball did he set up? ”

“You take good care of her, don't you? No ball like this in the world. ”

“Only?”

“Winter? How much do I love you? I'm very disappointed to hear you say that. ”

Armida shrugged my shoulders as if she were feeling better.

“You too, brother. Thanks for saying that, kid. ”

“It's true.”

I looked back and forth at Armida and Esther with meaningful eyes.

In fact, I made Siam Nidas a flagship for a reason.

It takes less than a month to set sail from here and reach the New World, a combat zone.

All this time I've been living in the same room with my sister Armida and Esther.

Yes, it was just that.

Esther received an Elven agent report and told me.

“Grand Duke, the troops are all ready to march. ”

I looked at Esther while I was fooling around with Armida.

“Really?"

“Yes, he says he can go at any time. ”

With a nod, I stood up and saw the buoyancy and humankind ships unfolding before the bridge window.

“Okay, then we're on our way. Let's go.”

At the same time as I ordered, the carriers and ships from the port began to march in tandem.

It was at the beginning of the war that brought humanity to Baháh's doom.

But I immediately drew attention and kept chatting with Armida.

War was war and work was work.

* * *

The humankind's ships, which set sail from each port with the march, slowly converge into groups.

It was a massive war with 1.5 million troops.

Although a large number of troops fell into the rear support and supply forces, the compromise was overwhelming.

Armida's sister, who was looking at this picture with me on the deck, raised her concerns.

It was a large fleet that could not be found in human history, but it seemed to be worrying for her.

Our enemies are Infinitus, who has the power to surpass the gods, and a never-ending horde of magic.

“How many of them will survive? ”

“Well, I don't know, a lot will die. ”

“But can you win? ”

“Well, if we're good, we can win. ”

Armida glanced at me.

“So you're much more likely to lose? ”

“Uh. Infinitus is much stronger than I am, and the Marmalade horde has overwhelmed our armies. ”

Armida's sister looks devastated.

“Then why are you in this war? ”

“I can't help it. ”

“But you said you'd lose. ”

“There's a good chance of losing this war. But the one who survives until the end will be our own. I'm gonna make it. ”

“No, how? ”

“We fight until we win. ”

“But it's over when you die, right? ”

“When you die, you come back to life. ”

Armida narrows her eyes as if she were a fool.

“Is that what you call it? ”

“Well, to be honest, the only thing I remember is that I died twice and came back to life. Once in my life. Once during a war with Kronos. Well, if you count the deaths I don't remember, there 'll be countless. ”

Armida's sister is dazed, blinking her eyes.

“Are you kidding me? ”

“It's true. You won't believe it, but I saw another one just before I died. I don't know if I should call him, but I had a long conversation with him. ”

“This is ridiculous." ”

“Of course she doesn't understand. But in this world, it makes sense. ”

“What kind of world? ”

“The world of chaos and emptiness. All our stereotypes are meaningless there. So is death. It doesn't mean anything. ”

I saw Armida accept where she had just heard me.

“Yes, they say. That's why Infinitus is so much scarier. He's beyond death himself. ”

I flicked my fingers.

“No. He dies. ”

“Why? Infinitus is chaos and emptiness. ”

“Instead, we're in a world of harmony. He must lose all his power here at the moment of his death and conduct a full circle in accordance with the laws of our world. ”

Armida pointed at me.

“What about your brother? ”

“It has nothing to do with me. ”

“Why?”

“This world is my world. Why can't I do what I want with the rules I've made? Except me, of course. ”

Armida's eyes widen in nervousness.

“Are you sure? ”

“What?”

“No, Prosia told you it might be Sinus. So just in case. ”

I laughed bloody.

“By the way, she's done talking about stars. ”

“Is that right?"

“No.”

Armida's sister was just relaxed.

If I were the god sinus, she would be my creation and servant.

“Isn't that right? He's making me mistaken. ”

“But it's also true. ”

“Huh?"

I was his notion created in the dream of Sinus.

That's why I was struck at the same time as I was not the god sinus.

To be precise, I am a part of the spirit of Sinus and a view of the world.

Anyway, let's put it together: I'm not Sinus at the same time.

Armida's sister widened her eyes when she told me everything I said.

“No way! ”

“It's a world of chaos and emptiness that makes sense. Isn't that funny?"

Armida shakes her head.

“I have no idea. I can't believe what he's saying, and I don't know what to do with him anymore. ”

I put my arm around Armida's shoulder.

“Don't think too complicated. But it doesn't make a difference. I'm still Jan Sergio Karl. She's still my sister. ”

“Him, right? ”

“Yes. As long as I'm here, I'm me. So treat it as you normally would. ”

“Oh, okay. ”

Then Esther, who was behind us, carefully stepped forward and asked.

“Grand Duke, if that's true, why do you say you lost this war? If you have the power of the Creator, you can easily defeat Infinitus. ”

“Of course I do. But I'm barely conscious of myself. So now I'm not the vessel to use all my powers, so I'm not ready for Infinitus yet. ”

“Then?”

I smiled at Esther.

“But don't worry. You're gonna get through this. Infinitus must be removed with my own hands. ”

“If so, that's good. ”

I've been giving Esther a confused look.

“The truth is, Infinitus is not the one you should fear. You may not realize it now, but you have a much scarier presence. ”

“Who the hell is that? ”

“My lovers. They're really scary. ”

Either she couldn't understand me at all or Esther blinked her eyes.

She had no reason to fear my lovers.

For now, of course.

But I didn't have to explain it right away.

There's still a month left.

And even after history was made, there was no need to explain it.

As long as Esther has a head, she'll never know what's coming.
