Main Character Hides His Strength

108. Return of Warriors (3)

The artisans were provided with a garment of noticeable colorful colors.

The manager of the Conference led the Conference of the World Congress.

“I will open this place to you for your masterpiece. Get familiar with the view of the conference room in advance. Perhaps a coronation for one king will be held there. ”

The artisans had a fierce quarrel to find a good solution that was terribly busy for the management to leave.

There was already a painter who painted the view of the Great Hall on paper. If the previous test was an advance, now is the true fight of the painters.

Of course, Kim Sung-cheol has no interest in the future of that fight. He noticed, and came out of the conference room and wandered around. He started the fight in his own way.

Kim Sung-cheol was able to find that many of the soldiers guarding various parts of the World Congress belonged to local regimes and affluent islands that turned their backs on the Emperor.

Although there were soldiers from dwarves, elves, and the Ancient Kingdom, there were few of them. They were primarily just the guards of the kings and nobles they served.

Meanwhile, a group of Apocalypse groups were not seen in the hallway, but they were housed in a heavily guarded area. Kim Sung-cheol couldn't get into it.

On the way back to the meeting room, Kim Sung-cheol could see a familiar face in the hallway.

Dmitri Mediov.

The man, known as the empire's gunsmith and the emperor's henchman, was stumbling across the halls of the World Congress. with dozens of acolytes behind them.

His arrogance was not so different from what he had seen in the ancient golden city.

It's strange that the people of the emperor who have already lost their power act so confidently in the World Congress.

In the evening, a commanding officer appeared and led the fireworks out of the fortress in front of a shabby building that looked like a material warehouse.

“Unfortunately, there is not enough room for you to sleep in the castle. Instead, I've made a simple arrangement for you to spend the night here. Of course, it's okay to stay there if you have other accommodation or a good place to stay. But don't forget to wait in front of the house until tomorrow morning. ”

Most painters took a look at their accommodations and returned to their accommodations without hesitation. The cottage for the reconciliation was not only a livestock, but a well-stocked stable.

Kim Sung-cheol went into the house without hesitation. In addition to Sung-cheol Kim, about 2 painters owe the lodging.

Kim Sung-cheol took off his fireworks clothes and went to the tavern where people gathered.

From there, he obtained information that many of the Emperor's personnel had left his side in turn due to the long siege of barbarians, the unknown heresy of the Emperor, and his own isolation.

In particular, Dmitri Mediov, who killed the emperor's right arm, persuaded more than half of the remaining fleet commanders to stay close to Cromgard.

Kim Sung-cheol was able to see the Empire fleet with tarps covering the corners of the aircraft dock.

It was crucial evidence that the armies supporting the emperor were opposed even as all emperors turned their backs.

Kim Sung-cheol blew a whistle made of coral in a rare vacancy.

A whistle that doesn't make a sound, even if you blow with your mouth.

However, the sound is conveyed accurately to only one person.

Soon, something appeared behind Kim Sung-cheol.

“You've managed to sneak into the castle. ”

Someone said in admiration, honestly.

He must have been watching. Kim Sung-cheol is selected as a weapon.

Kim Sung-cheol said something directly.

“Dmitri Medivh and his fleet betrayed the Emperor. But it's funny. The Army doesn't like Dmitri Medivh very much. ”

I've served as commander of the First Fleet, but Dmitri Mediov is more like a gatekeeper than a traditional soldier.

He replied that someone had a distinctive clear voice.

“When the emperor ordered your retreat without saving you, fewer imperial soldiers turned their backs on him. Dmitri Medivh was just exploiting their grievances. ”

“Is Dmitri Medivh on the Wandering King's side now? ”

Someone nods.

“That's not all. People from all walks of life are already surrounded by the Wandering King, so their master supports the Wandering King. One of them is an old man named Herphorus behind Prince Elf. ”

“Why does the Apocalypse support the Wandering King? ”

“... I don't know about that. ”

Kim Sung-cheol remembers.

A conflict between Raise Heimer of the Floating Islands and Sarah Zero of the Apocalypse that took place within the Dwarf court.

After that fight, the two forces never seemed to be on the same side. But that fight could also be the appearance of the Wandering King.

Moreover, the emperor said they were the same master, the same gang that served Chromgard.

There is no way to confirm the truth of the word yet.

Severe, but no evidence.

“Shh!”

It was then.

The dog glances around with fierce eyes.

Soon, she raises her head up.

There is a griphon flying, burning a wizard in the sky.

Kim Sung-cheol could see through the eyes of the truth that the wizard on the Griphon had developed a magic related to listening.

It is collecting information from afar.

If you ignore this and blaspheme the World Congress for no reason, you will be immediately favored by the soldiers who carry the prize.

Griphon, who burned the suspicious wizard, passes by and someone opens his mouth again.

“I have more to show you. ”

She walks silently through the darkness with a cat-like gesture.

Kim Sung-cheol followed her without asking.

Soon, she moves to the stone building, which is separated from the palace fortress.

An annex to the fortress.

Although several soldiers were guarding it, it was not as vigilant as the main fortress.

Two people with transcendent abilities were able to reach the entrance of the building by lightly pushing through the boundaries.

From the entrance, Kim Sung-cheol was able to smell death.

“Where am I? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked.

“You'll see. ”

Someone is teasing his hand diligently to break the boundary in front of him. Kim Sung-cheol is a unique skill of the bandit class that can't be done.

Someone breaks the boundary and leads you into the darkness. The stairs leading down to the basement extend endlessly.

As he went down the stairs, Kim Sung-cheol was able to hear the agonizing groaning with a deeper smell of death.

‘Torture room.’

Familiar landscapes.

Kim Sung-cheol stroked Bertella gently.

“Close your eyes because you can't see. ”

“Ugh…. Yes!”

As expected, the identity of the building itself was a massive torture chamber, execution site.

There were people tortured and dying all over the dungeons, and all over the hallway, I could easily find piles of stacks of sitchets.

“Thousands are trapped here. There are only 200 people dying in a day. But very few know about the existence of this torture chamber. ”

Someone glances at you in the dark.

“Who did this? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked. His voice and voice were filled with light anger.

“It happened in the name of the World Congress. ”

Someone answered.

I had an unpleasant feeling on Kim Sung-cheol's face.

“I never told you to do this. ”

“Do you remember when the Chromgard Hand took over after you left? This is the result. ”

She was right.

Advisors and guards, wizards assisting them.

All of these are from the former Human Empire, or Emperors from Ruthegia.

“Why are you doing this? ”

Kim Sung-cheol felt a fierce anger, watching their manners.

“In nominal terms, their sins are the sins of the enemy. But given their existence, there is only one sin. ”

“ ……. ”

“Blaming the Wandering King. ”

Kim Sung-cheol's face was heavily hardened.

“But that's not all. ”

One passes through the torture chamber to the depths of the detachment. I thought I still had something to show you.

“The real purpose of this facility is not to punish slanderers. ”

Blue eyes bloom in the darkness.

A Rescue Soldier

A Rescue Guard stands guard at the crossroads.

“I'll draw attention. If that monster leaves, go straight ahead. I'll be right behind you. ”

Some use the power of disappearance to penetrate inward first, drawing some sound to the attention of the Salvation Army.

Kim Sung-cheol quickly broke through while the Rescue Soldier went to catch a dog. Someone quickly joined Kim Sung-cheol.

“This way.”

At the end of the hall was a half-open iron door.

Beyond the iron gate was a terribly dark stench of corpses.

Margin-

Kim Sung-cheol opened the iron door without saying a word and went inside.

It's full of wretched corpses.

I could see Kim Sung-cheol in a room full of Fivirins. A golem made of corpses.

They were in a bathtub of blue liquid with black fragments.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol at a glance understood the purpose of the facility.

A manufacturing facility for the Salvation Army.

A corpse golem leaning over a corpse can be converted into a Salvation Soldier through a special tool using Black Fragment. Someone said, staring at the wretched scene with a cold gaze.

“Chromium Gale is converting his slanderers into his most loyal soldiers. ”

“... What a Rutheginian way. ”

It really felt like a long time ago.

The fury of a pure evil empire called the Holy Rutherguinea Empire.

After a long time, I forgot for a while, but they were originally this kind.

Humans don't change that easily.

Kim Sung-cheol and someone else escaped the fortress, leaving a terrible scene behind.

Under the moonlit night sky, someone said,

“In my history, the Wandering King is noted as a great man. He has been known to fight the plagues until the end. That's what I knew. But the history I knew was different from the real history. ”

She said that and stared at Sung-cheol Kim and laughed deeply.

“Well, you've made a choice that goes against history. ”

“Choice... ”

Kim Sung-cheol remembered what someone once said to him. He said, staring at the pale moon.

“Is that the choice you mentioned before for me to make? ”

The dog nods powerlessly.

“Of course, you made a choice that you didn't choose anything. ”

A sigh comes out of someone's mouth.

Suddenly, Kim Sung-cheol felt like asking someone who he chose at the time, but didn't ask.

because the future that the regretter has seen will not be repeated.

It is he who creates the future.

“... but you will soon make a choice. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said in a low voice.

Soon.

The time of choice has come.

‘I'm sorry, just bear with me for one day. ’

Kim Sung-cheol left the building full of pain and death with a heavy heart.

*

The next morning.

The artisans were called out in a hurry.

The matter was simple.

“From now on, you will draw a wide picture. Each of you will do your best to paint an ideal king! As I said before, I will give the person who paints the best paintings the privilege of taking their family to the wealthy. ”

Ten lifetimes later, the fireworks were moved to the conference room of the palace fortress.

One of them, Kim Sung-cheol, bowed down to the bridge and captured the view of the meeting room.

Emperors like Arcanite, Prince Elf, Dainkraft and Dmitri Medivh sat in their seats with their acolytes.

Dmitri Medivh has offered to be the head of the exile government of the empire.

And in the corner of the conference room, a crowd dressed in black robes stood in a dark atmosphere.

It's the horde of the Apocalypse.

Kim Sung-cheol found that there was a very familiar face among them.

‘Schnelmer.’

Underboss of the Apocalypse.

The one who wandered around looking for him finally appeared before Kim Sung-cheol again.

With the majestic sound of the trumpet, the World Congress began. The chairman of the meeting was Arkanite. However, there was a strong expression on his face that he did not want to do.

“From now on, I will begin the appointment of one king to resolve the catastrophe, the agenda of the World Congress. ”

He spoke in a dull voice, as if he were reading a book.

In response, the actions of the Cromgard family members were unclear. They had an unpleasant attitude to Arkanite chivalry, either implicitly or passively.

Dmitri Mediov, who is particularly representative of the Human Empire, even raised his hand to quietly turn the Arcanite around.

“You look sick. Why don't you rest if you're tired?" Maybe I can cover for you. ”

Arcanite stares at Dmitri Medivh with a predatory look. But he's not the one holding the sword of the World Congress.

He stops his anger from the right line and moves on.

“He's the master, too. Can you not take his place?" You do it. I'm just gonna watch the back of my head. ”

Despite his thorny remarks, the Floating Army and the Old Human Empire revolted violently, but after being insulted, Dmitri Mediov walked to the seat that Arkanite gave him with a gentle smile.

The chairman of the World Congress is now in charge of the traitor who betrayed the lord, neither the king nor the Empress.

Kim Sung-cheol stared at the man in an invisible helmet, situated on the edge of the conference room.

He stood guard without a word.

He won't have to.

His position will be represented by enthusiastic supporters without having to open their mouths.

But not everyone supports Chromgard. After shifting from its seat to its footstool, Arkanite glanced closely at Dynkraft with narrow eyes and said to Dmitri Mediov,

“By the way, did you know that the traditional World Congress vote is unanimous? ”

Dmitri Mediov nods.

Dinecraft, cheer up! You clasp your arms tightly, shouting. His insistence to never compromise was coming from his face as well as his whole body.

“Like I said before, I won't do anything until I get my Arm Garaz back! ”

Dynkraft said in a stubborn voice reminiscent of an old relic.
