Dragon Poor

279. The hero's footsteps smell of flowers (4)

[I had no choice.]

I didn't have to worry about whose voice it was. Even Goldrake, who couldn't speak, breaks the language. Moreover, Bluegon has spoken quite fluently in the past, so the current situation doesn't seem a bit strange.

[There must be a great amount of circulation Qi to heal your broken body. However, I was unavoidable because I couldn't find the time I needed in the shallow sea to just immerse myself in it. Don't feel sorry for me no matter what you do.]

It must have been because the voice of the Sea Dragon sounded like an excuse for some reason because of the tribe that would not need to be attached, and the actions that were brutally invaded by the situation that might have been warned before.

However, Kim Sun-hyuk did not hesitate to mention the fact. Now there was something more important than that.

“So you can fix it if you have enough time? ”

The priests used dragons to heal all the wounds inflicted by the blood. However, instead of getting better at something I could not afford, my mind became worse as time went on.

He was dying.

It was just that there were no outside tickets, but the broken bowl was constantly draining its life force even at this moment.

[There's a place I've seen. It will take some time.]

Immediately after Sea Dragon's words, an unknown energy wraps around your body. Suddenly, I fell asleep before I even enjoyed the good feeling.

[Deep sea is not so good for humans like you, so sighing won't be so bad.]

At first, bluegun's voice, which had been heard clearly, later faded like a dream. And in the end, I heard nothing.

[I hope it's a nightmare.]

The missing Grand Duke waited two whole days and never showed up again.

I scattered the fleet to expand the search range in the hopes that they might have drifted away by the current, but the Grand Duke's end was still elusive.

“Fleet, end training with this part of the day and return to Granada. ”

In the end, Admiral Lopez had no choice but to abandon the search for the Grand Duke.

“But the Grand Duke is an important figure in the Mainland. If we go back like this, Iberia might be thrown away by the anger of the mainland. ”

Admiral Lopez glances at the blue sleep due to a mixture of the deputy's concerns.

‘If I don't come back soon.... ’

It was unfinished, but the Grand Duke's words contained little doubt. On a turbulent ship, he looks at the swallowing waves, and there are no waves.

“The Grand Duke will surely return. ”

The legendary Duke who has already disappeared many times.

People always said he wouldn't be able to come back, but that was a mistake. When everyone gathered their mouths to speak of his death, he returned as if to see, and finally became a more radiant figure.

Of course, there was no man free from death. Someday, even that great knight may not return. But that's not what Admiral Lopez thinks it is.

I made all my expectations in the sudden appearance that I saw at the last moment.

* *

The First Fleet has returned, but the Grand Duke has not returned.

“All ships stationed in the harbor must set sail with minimal defensive force and search for the Grand Duke! No, it doesn't have to be a military ship! Seek cooperation from the ship's captains and mobilize them to search! ”

The Grand Duke of Iberia got white and organized a search party immediately. However, close to a hundred large and small vessels scoured the nearby waters, but they were unable to locate the Grand Duke.

“You can't do this. So futile.... ”

With no results in the search, even when the Church declared war, the Grand Duke of Iberia, who had not lost his candor, was halfway baffled.

It was a war that began because Iberia was protecting the Grand Duke, but the loss of the Grand Duke was not the end of it.

In the first place, the kingdoms of the Middle Kingdom attacked Iberia to take possession of the abundant funding and maritime routes that Iberia possessed. The Grand Duke's whereabouts are no longer important.

But it wasn't the Adenberg empire.

The biggest reason they have mobilized the entire East to support Iberia is because there is a Grand Duke in Iberia. However, with the Grand Duke gone, we don't know if the Empire will continue to support Iberia.

That was the reason why the Grand Duke of Iberia was so fascinated.

“Connect communication with the Imperial Court. ”

Grand Duke Iberia, who was afraid of Warak, asked the Ades to call off the reinforcements he had promised.

“The Grand Duke... ”

The Grand Duke of Iberia reported on everything, thinking of falling to the ground and begging for it without even thinking of telling a lie.

[This did not happen once or twice.]

However, the reaction of the Empress, who thought she would take responsibility in anger, was too different.

[Among the predecessor's dragons is a sea dragon called the Blue Dragon, and the predecessor will not have anything to do with him going out to sea.]

She lets out a small sigh, not angry or responsible.

“Nevertheless, the Admiral of the fleet who was serving the Grand Duke said he had glimpsed a giant snake-like creature just before the Grand Duke disappeared. ”

[If the blue scale is a beautiful snake, then the dragon of the Grand Duke, Blue Gone, is right.]

“Ah…. ”

The concern of the Grand Duke of Iberia, who had been so overwhelmed by the anger of the mainland that he could not sleep at night, disappeared at once.

[With the Blue Gone, the Grand Duke will never be transformed in the sea. So don't you worry anymore and focus on what you have to do.]

“I will do as I'm told. ”

By the end of the communication, the Grand Duke of Iberia had become a bright face after a long, long time. However, for just a moment, his wide face hardened quickly.

The situation of the Grand Duke has only just been shortened, and the reality of Iberia has not changed at all.

Iberia was still at war with the kingdoms of the Middle Kingdom, and now the enemy has gone blind across all borders.

There were almost a dozen casks of supplies flying from the front line right away, but none of them had any non-urgent expertise.

It was natural.

As the enemy forces grew, the Eastern Kingdom's infantry forces were the only ones who still joined the front lines. The kingdoms of the Middle Kingdom united and blocked the way between West and Iberia.

At least the border of Iberia was not breached immediately because the cavalry from the north dug deep into the Azrael kingdom beyond the border of Iberia showed more than they expected.

The horsemen of the North were incredibly brave and cruel.

They dared to tear the troops apart into hundreds. When the enemy troops hit the front line, they smell like ghosts and rush in and slash the heads of the troops. And the enemy's supply was sent to their garrison on a cart instead of food.

It happened many times. The enemy's morale on the front lines plummets.

The actions of the northern cavalry were more than just that. They surprisingly raided the imperial decree of the Kingdom of Israel and destroyed the land.

The military lords on the front line are terrified that even the mighty Marquis's territory has collapsed.

In helping to destroy Iberia, they realized that their dreams of tasting some of the great wealth of the trade empire were futile. The reality unfolded before them was no longer rosy.

In the cold reality, the lords were distracted.

It was not like the war with the Demon King. Then I didn't have to worry about the back. It was only when I dealt with the magical objects in front of me. There were those who sought to be called to account for the chaos, but they were suppressed by the powerful forces of the lord.

But not now. There was no war between man and man, country and country, and there was no war to be fought by each other's needs.

Even the implicit rules of restraint of superhumans who were keeping the great war from happening have been broken for a long time, so no matter what happened, it was not strange.

“I will return to my territory. ”

“All that remains in the territory is my reader. If I do something wrong, my family will be ruined. Don't hold me back anymore. ”

The rulers of the territory, exposed to the cavalry's attack, have broken free from the inner lines and are on their way home. But they had to be attacked by fierce cavalry waiting on the road before reaching my territory, and all of them were beheaded.

And the brutal northern horsemen carried the decapitated Lord of the Minutes along with the soldiers into the cart and sent them to the enemy camp.

As all those who had left the front came back dead, even those who had left the front did not come back.

I couldn't get off the line, but I couldn't focus on the war. It was strange to maintain morale.

However, the amazing activity of the cavalry in the North could not change the overall situation.

It was because it wasn't just the armies of the kingdom of Israel that were put on the front lines. Even though the lords from beyond the realm of Asrael were aware, their territory was not considered dangerous. Their stronghold was far from where even the mounted troops of the north could reach.

“They're drifting without a place to call home anyway. If Iberia falls, there will be no place for them to set foot. ”

The nobles of the Middle Kingdom bludgeoned across the border of Iberia, regardless of whether the cavalry in the north were pushing back or the soldiers were starving.

However, the fortresses of Iberia seem to have fallen but never have fallen.

It was also because of Ahn-bae, the Grand Duke.

Marek Schneil Roahim was the strongest knight until the Grand Duke appeared, and the sword released from the tuner's restraint was holding its place on the border of Iberia.

The swordsman on the Griffin shot through the front lines without sleep, saving the fortresses in a crisis.

“How many men are on the front lines, how many kingdoms you can't take on one Iberian! ”

The situation did not resolve as expected, and the leaders of the church were furious.

“This war is not just a war! The holy war that condemns the heretic who holds the vicious Grand Duke, the Temple! ”

They even threatened the nobles of the Central Kingdom by proclaiming the Temple in the short term, and threatening to punish those who passively wage war.

Despite the disadvantaged situation, Commander's footstool burns at all times, optimistic that the fortresses of Iberia will fall.

At some other time, it was no different from being declared destruction when the whole of the central country was being destroyed under the influence of the Church.

None of the nobles in the kingdom were able to make deals or interact with the deprived nobles even though they were at war because of the sight of the Church.

Even the sovereigns will not acknowledge the religiously unjust authority of the lord. And even though it was a royal family, it was inevitable.

“Take down the fortress now. ”

Until then, the nobles who were struggling to delay the glory of the first occupant's wounds to each other drew their swords.

Regular troops and superhumans who had retreated with the conscripts in their wake showed up on the Great War.

The walls of the fortress have begun to crack because of the magic cast by the wizards. Guards of the keep have been slaughtered by the sheer glow of knights coming up the ladder.

And for the first time, a fortress in Iberia fell before two days had passed.

There are no survivors. Even the civilians living in the fortress were brutally massacred by heretics. The black smoke from the bodies of those burnt alive covered the whole sky like a cloud.

Surprisingly, the soldiers of the Central Kingdom believed that they were replacing the righteous god's mission, despite this brutal act.

The murders and tortures they committed were just straightforward acts of purifying many sinners.

It seemed like hell was spreading in the world because the frenzy of faith was added to the frenzy of war.

The second fortress has fallen.

There were no survivors this time. Even the mercenaries who surrendered cut their throats. It was because he stood with Iberia, where the vicious Grand Duke stood.

The Iberian army has no choice now.

Resisting the relentless fanatics with all their might was the only option left for them.

The Iberian soldiers surrendered, and rather than suffer a terrible death under the name "Purification," they chose to die with their arms cut off and their intestines spilled out.

The desperate will of such soldiers hardly supported the fortresses to fall, but no one believed they could withstand the overwhelming forces and madness of the enemy for long.

[The time is near, so don't give up Iberia.]

The Grand Duke of Iberia began to devastate himself by gripping the expertise that had flown from the mainland.

“When the hell did that happen?" Iberia is going to collapse! ”

Two fortresses have fallen. I didn't know when the remaining fortresses would fall. It was only a matter of time before the border was breached. There is no way the wicket of the great Iberian Emperor is going to blow.

“Perhaps the Imperial Court is giving up Iberia! ”

A month has passed since the Grand Duke disappeared. By this time, the Imperial Court would have begun to become anxious about the safety of the late Grand Duke, so it was not unusual for them to change their mind about not taking responsibility.

I was beginning to doubt that the Empire had decided to withdraw from this war.

Then a miracle happened.

[The cavalry in the north attacked the kingdom of Israel and decapitated its entire clan.]

The cavalry in the north, which disappeared beyond the front lines and disrupted the rear, surprisingly broke through the fierce defenses and destroyed the city of Asrael.

Unfortunately, the armies of the kingdom of Asrael were already exhausted at the beginning of the war and pushed back. The nobles and commanders of the Central Kingdom who were intoxicated by the frenzy of the war were shocked and did not slow down the attack.

[Horsemen of the North, advancing north!]

Until word got out that the cavalry was marching together towards another kingdom.

Another message flew to the front before the commanders of the completely confused central kingdoms could clear up the chaos.

[Attack Fort Georg, the eastern border of the Adenberg Empire's Rosehawg Kingdom! Fort Georg is about to fall!]

Even if all the kingdoms are at war with the Adenberg Empire, they expect to use the harbor to land on the mainland of Iberia first. However, the Adenberg Imperial Army attacked the Federation of the Central Kingdom's waist on the ground, as if to mock their predictions.

[Fort Georg is down!]

A day later, news of the Adenberg Empire's war broke out, specializing in the capture of Fort Georg in Rosehawg.

[The Allied forces attacking Sevilla Fortress, the Alliance of the Eastern Kingdoms, and the Iberian army defeated in concert. We are retreating to the rear in pursuit of the remaining troops.]

When the commander of the Middle Kingdom fell into confusion due to an accidental attack, an army of expeditionaries from the Eastern Kingdom's invisible expedition appeared in Sevilla Fortress after hiding their tracks on the front lines.

Adenberg has been preparing for a long time, and that's not the end of it.

All the borders of the Central Kingdom, bounded by the Eastern Kingdoms, began to be attacked together.

[Brothers of Adenburg! The time is ripe, march on!]

It was the dawn of inversion.
