Start A New Game

“… what's that? ”

Armada, who defeated all the nearby horsemen, looks at Titan and asks.

“Titan," you know? ”

When Saehan said that, she was surprised and turned her gaze to him.

“Yes? Of course I do. I learned it in legendary times when I was a kid... Then why are you laughing? ”

Her words do not continue.

Titan, who was fully summoned to the head, began to walk, and the shockwave spread throughout the land.

Citizens and cities where Titan has been trampled under giant feet.

The early afternoon of peace has turned into a hell of desperate screams, with the sound of buildings being deformed by giant soles of feet.

It was a trap.

She looks at it and bites her lip tightly.

The Allied forces, dominated by Lahim and Arban, have already left for the northern frontier, and the expedition is in full swing. Arban is located to the south, opposite the north.

That is, even if Titan had been contacted, the expedition would have been too far gone, and most of all, the expedition would not have been completed.

Moreover, even the teleporter is useless. If you return to Arban without the help of Teleport, it will be the Horsemen who have already occupied Arban with Titan to greet them when they arrive.

At this point, it's hard to see as coincidence. You're right to say it was designed by a thorough plan.

“… what should I do, Sahhan? ”

Armada, who had a vague sense of the situation, looked at him with a worried look.

“… I think it's better to hide. ”

Titan is not just a monster to do with two wizards, and many Horsemen will continue their invasion of Arban.

So for now, survival is our top priority.

Lightning strikes the dry sky at every turn, but you must remain calm, even if it falls a dozen times in a row.

“… Yes. ”

Armada says so, and sticks close to Sahan.

*

“... so you're aware of the situation? ”

- … yes. So let's hide ourselves and refrain from carrying on as much as we can... The subjugation is almost complete. I'll tie a knot as soon as I can and run to Arvan with the Allied forces.

Serzin's voice from the crystal ball carries deep concerns.

I feel trembling. I feel like crying right now.

“I'm fine, so don't worry too much, be careful. You take care, too. ”

- You can't be worried!! …… I get it anyway. Please contact me as often as possible.

“... okay. Oh, and Ser Jean. Lord Armada is with us, so please tell the Blaze family well. Don't worry.”

- Well, what... what did you just say...

Ser Jinn's voice as it flows through the crystal sphere was cut off.

“Huh? What?”

He waves his crystal ball around.

But it still sucks.

“Looks like the Horsemen used some kind of trick. Maybe it's some kind of setback. The barrier to communication can be easily opened with the finest stops. ”

Armada narrows his eyes.

“... Phew. ”

Zahan sighs and puts down the crystal ball.

“... it's amazing. ”

Give Soliloquy to Armada.

I was fortunate enough to hide and move and settle in a cave in a remote mountain, but after that, I stopped.

The imported scroll is also a blink.

“For now, I think it's best to just wait here for support. ”

Armada said.

It was also an opinion of forgiveness.

Once you don't have the agility to go underground, it's natural to wait for the best way, and the geography itself is easy to stay hidden.

No, it's the best condition.

In the immediate vicinity, there is food called drinking water and fish, and there are plenty of wild animals, including deer and boars.

Moreover, this cave will not be heavily patrolled outside, and if you are aware of it, you are not at risk of being caught on the way to hunting wildlife. If you feel dangerous, you don't have to leave.

And this dreary, dark cave is the most problematic... You can use alchemy to make sure you live as well as you can, so you don't get caught.

“… Yes. It's the only way now. ”

Sahan said, looking at Armada.

* * *

It's only been three days.

But during those three days, Arban was overturned.

It wasn't just that Titan and the devils from all over the country had gathered at Arban.

The Horsemen have infiltrated the upper levels of Arban.

As soon as Titan appeared, they used all sorts of enchantments to turn the king and prince of Arban into scarecrows, sealing the gates and intercepting the reinforcements that had been sent to Arban primarily from other countries.

He also used a wide range of enchantments to enslave the people of Arban, who were weakly resistant to magic.

He must have sharpened his blade of vengeance a hundred years after his defeat.

They swallowed Arban with rigorous and meticulous design and all manner of advice.

He looks away from the alchemical window with a serious look.

Now we can see that the Devil's flag on Memnon's castle, where the shield was, was taken, without even having to spy with a third eye.

“Sahan, we're almost done eating. Come on, have a spoon. ”

As Zahan is getting so serious, he hears an everyday voice that doesn't fit the situation well.

He turns his head to look at Armada.

She placed a tasty barbecue and fish in a stone bowl on the dining table, with a kind eye.

I was looking at her.

“Oh, yes. ”

Through the overnight construction of alchemy, Sahan was able to transform the interior of the cave into a natural house.

Due to the narrowness of the space, it is just a cramped house consisting of a living room and a kitchen with only bedrooms and bathrooms... but Sahan felt like his own house in the past.

Maybe it was unconsciously decorated as a home. Alchemy is inevitable because you have to use the caster's memory.

“... what do you think? ”

I asked Sahan in the chair in front of the table, giving him the chubby hind legs of a Boar.

“I haven't eaten yet. ”

He smiles and tears off the hind legs of a boar that had just been roaming through the forest.

Armada, who is looking at herself with great anticipation...

“This tastes terrible. ”

“ … ”

Armada's face, full of anticipation and smiling intensely, became strangely stiff for a moment.

He looked at it and held back his smile.

Of course, it's not tasty. Rather delicious. It's made with magical flames, so it can't be tasteless.

But at times like this, Armada's reaction was so funny, he knew it was mean and couldn't help it.

He wanted to unwind by seeing her like this.

The Hound, the rabid hound released by the Horsemen, patrols this area almost every day, so it must have kept more than 4/5 of the day locked up in this cave.

“Well, then, what do we do? Ugh...”

After resuming her rigid body, she shakes her hands, noticeably bewildered.

At this rate, I will throw away the food immediately.

“.. it's okay. I'm not saying it's not that good. If the goal is not to starve to death... that's fine. It's worth it. I'll just eat it. Leave it. ”

Sahan did not stop joking, and the grass died even worse, and Armada's gaze was sadly cast down, completely broken.

You hold your hands together on your knees and scold yourself with your lips.

I feel heartbroken for no reason.

“... I'm kidding. It's delicious. Why do you always cheat? I want to keep going. ”

I stop playing around with the feeling of guilt and tear the flesh off my legs with a smile.

“Yes? …… ah. What, because I'm so scared? It can't be delicious every day... I want to give you something delicious...”

Armada just smiled and began to eat.

He and she spent three days together, talking a lot.

I'm stuck in this cramped room because of Hound, and I don't know what else to tell you.

After all, Armada told me honestly why he had refused forgiveness at that time, and she expressed her feelings honestly at that time.

Honestly, I was disappointed, and I'm still mad at you over time, but nothing's going to change.

Armada nods, smiling bitterly.

“... But how long do I have to stay like this? ”

Armada said.

“ … ”

Sahan even swallows the chewed meat, making a slightly mischievous expression.

At first, I thought the Allied forces would be able to make it back easily.

But Arvan was overturned too soon.

It means that the Mages have been desperate from the start and rushed in. And there's only one reason why Arban was captured after all his efforts and tricks. The Demon King must be trying to capture the current site in Arban.

Then even if the Allies come, it won't be easy to penetrate Arban.

Only a Awakened Warrior or Dragon can break through the Joint Defense of Titan and Desknight, which specialize in defense rather than attack in the first place.

But Aren, who has all the keys, has yet to awaken, and the remaining possibility is the dragon.

Of course, Saehan had the tools to get help from the dragon.

However, it is true that the power of the bead, Sahanna and the power of the dragon, is a waste to use now.

It is clear that the use of the Demon King is the best option when it is at its worst.

“… Hmm? ”

Sahan looked at Armada with his eyes wide open to the feeling of gently wrapping his hands.

“… let's figure it out together. ”

She looks at Saehan's eyes and says. A warm voice with her qualities.

“You don't have to do this alone.”

Hold his hand tighter. desperately, as if afraid to let go.

“You can count on it. ”

Armada said with all his heart:

“No, trust me. ”

Even if you can't reach it, even if you can't.

If I could just help him, if I could share his pain and suffering...

“ … ”

Her desperate and loving words make her eyes flutter like a deep sinking shadow.

‘Since you have captured Arban, please disregard Stadim and come to Arban. ’

Dark night.

Pocalor is troubled and distressed by hearing from the Mages through the Crystal Ball.

“… sigh……”

She sighs deeply and looks around the house.

A house with melted tastes and traces. paintings all over, portraits of residents, things that I received as a gift... I realized the joy of "decorating a house" for the first time in my life.

“ … ”

Pocalor also recalled the urgent call he had just received from Serzin.

‘Since Sahan and Lord Armada are in Arban, they may not be able to meet for a while. ’

Either way, she can't fathom the weight of her mind anymore.

Along with them, I received too much joy and too much affection.

But apart from that, you're a Mage. The Horses and Humans are like water and oil, which cannot last forever.

Life expectancy.

Even if the Horses and Humans are together, the Horses always outlive the Humans, and Humans always die before the Horses.

If you can't live happily ever after, no matter how happy the process was, the end of the story comes with unbearable sadness and pain.

“.. ”

Eventually, the determined Pokalore raises his body and turns his back forcefully.

“ …! ”

But what you see in front of it, at once, made that decision weaker.

Written by ‘Rainy Misses’, courtesy of Sahan. A picture that moved me to a standstill as soon as I saw it.

The degree of ‘gratitude’ and ‘joy’ I felt towards the person who gave this picture as a birthday present was the first since I was a child.

Her red eyes look at the painting, filled with sadness and flutter.

“... Hehehe... Damn it...”

A murmur with clenched teeth. Pocalor lowers his head and grips two fists.

A chilly wind blows through the cracks of the open window, and Pocalor turns to dust and scatters in the wind.

The settlement will be 80 to 100. I think I'm gonna get it! I'm sorry to have confused you with "last minute"!
