A Wish to Grab Happiness

Episode 578: The Nature of Fate

Time goes back. Fort Medraut's collapse was imminent.

The glorious flames and explosions created by the gunpowder easily swallow the enemy soldiers who entered the fort into pieces of meat.

The firearms that are now only on the exterior wall will eventually cover the entire fort.That's what using gunpowder and combustible water means.It never stops until it burns out.The supplies that the Archbishop would have been counting on will also be lost.As much as they could, they couldn't force.

On the outer wall of the flaming fort, loser Richard played with an unopened bottle with his left arm.

Have you sent reinforcements to King's Landing?That's good. You're not dating either. Run away. "

"But, General..."

"Shut up. It's an order. Go to the beacon.Fort Medraut has collapsed, I'm dead.That's it!

Looking at the patrolling soldiers, Richard shouted.

He was a good soldier.Knowing fear, you can suppress and fight.That's why I don't want you to die here.

Moreover, he is not a veteran but a young man who is prepared.There's still time to get into the cemetery.

The soldier left in salute, distorting his expression with remorse and tears.You're still a good soldier.You can push and kill your own thoughts and listen to orders.

"Did he make it?But I didn't make it... hah "

Arrival of the advance party from Lugis.It means he broke Zebrellis.I don't know how.It is also unclear whether such a thing can happen in reality.

But I guess I did.Only a strange conviction was in Richard's chest.

There is no blessing for talent, there is nothing in hand.A skinny child with only tight eyes.I thought that if I picked it up, I would eventually die somewhere I didn't know.I wonder if I can do nothing like myself.

But now that the child has become a man, I can finally hear the sound of being a hero in a distant place.Richard thinks that's enough.

That is why the advance troops returned to King's Landing.We should not involve his army in this defeat.

It's not just about the loss of soldiers, it's about the rule of the larger new kingdom.

― ― If you quote a later history book, the reign of the new kingdom by the Sigilism of this era is depicted as stable.There was no rebellion, and the nobles followed the new queen unharmed.

But it is not true.

The foundations of Queen Phyllos and Virgin Matthia's rule are fragile.Emerging forces cannot have a cornerstone foothold.

It is the nobles of Biomondor who will take charge of the queen.But they were less powerful in the old kingdom than they used to be, but they were therefore under Phyllos.The area of control is not so large.In addition to taking charge of Phyllos, the opportunistic nobles who did not obey King Amelitz remained in the kingdom.

They swore allegiance to Phyllos, who now had the king's capital, but it was clear that dissatisfaction was spreading.

It has lost a lot of power, but it is still a matter of religion.

Unlike the old kingdom, the new kingdom enshrined Sigilism in the national religion.However, the majority of the nobles are Catholic and the believing gods look at the queen in a white eye.Besides, she is the son of a lowly concubine.Even if you're a Virgin Matthia, you're just an up-and-coming rider.

The only areas that Philos has complete control over are those around the fertile King's Landing and the aristocracy of the Biomondor Faction.It was no strange when the rebellion broke out.Even as magic rages around, human lust and rebellion are irresistible.

Then why don't they start a rebellion?Why do you surrender to the feet of the young queen with all your promises?

--That's fear of victory.

Sigilism, the foundation of the Queen's support, has continued to win.The walled city Galuamaria, the mercenary city Bellefein.From the Gaza Civil War to the Sanio War, battles against the internal rebels, the Great Demons, and the Magus.

In all those battles, Sigilistic heroes have continued to win.He is said to have won the battle and slaughtered the dragon, giving Sigilism and thus the new kingdom.

Rebellion in the new kingdom means the blade of a hero is swinging down his neck.

Speaking of which, that's all.The other elements are only branches.Only the myth of heroic invincibility underpins the power base of the new kingdom.

That's why Richard sent Lugis's soldiers to King's Landing.In this way, Richard has an excuse to say that even if he is defeated, Lugis is not defeated.The myth of immortality is still alive.

"--I thought you were coming.You idiot. "

Richard turned his heel on the outer wall of the fort, where the enemy soldiers lost even their foolish allies.Because I was watching her attack.

In the fort, the fire turned slightly, and there she was.With breathtaking eyes, confidence overflowing both shoulders to say no to oneself with a wanting husband.It is wrapped in pale magical armor.

Valerie-Britney reigned there as much as possible as a reaper for Richard.

"Not as bad as you, thug.If you don't set the fort on fire, it's useless anymore. "

"That's all right.If they stuck me in the cold sky, I'd make a fortune. "

Valerie knows what Richard's condition is.I understand what fate is looming on him.

That's why I smiled like a line in my face and stood up with both hands.

No carelessness, no looseness.The figure of Valerie, the incarnation of violence.

"... well, why don't you ask me why?"

Richard responded by paying the black sword with his left hand.There was only the sound of the burning flame and the voice of the two.

"I'm here to kill you.Richard "

"Oh, I'll kill you too, Valerie."

If we call this fate, fate must be madness.

They used to have ambitions together, they used to dream together, they used to be each other.We are now targeting each other with unyielding intentions.

Valerie will not allow Richard to become immortal.You won't allow Richard to be killed by others.

Richard also knows how dangerous and transcendent Valerie is.That's why I wish my only hero victory.We can't let her get away here.

"Where did the special victory that I was told to kill disappear?I ate it the same way. "

"I don't know what I can use, but it's my style to use it.That's a good word. No matter how much you pay, you don't have to pay. "

It was a light reward, as usual.It's the same as when we were under Roymets together, drinking wine and making fun of each other.

There was neither sadness nor remnants, and only the two of them seemed to be stained.

But only the air is fighting.

Who was once the strongest of all mankind.Now he is.There is a frozen vigor in the killing that would have ended in an instant.

Valerie rang her fingertips as a sign that the flame was boiling.

"Richard - you betrayed me, trampled our ambitions and took away my beloved."

It is the word of oath.Words of blessing and determination to bet on dignity and life.Valerie's way as a glamorous warrior drew his words too naturally.

"So I will leave you and my life in heaven once again.Give the winner two lives.Richard, I offer you a duel. "

"- I accept. Respond to the duel in the name of the brave.It is only through honor and pride that we become the supreme. "

The heroes and heroes of the North appeared here.Their last duel began in a falling flame-painted fortress.
