Day 180 of Summoning the Other World [Showdown] Part 8:

"Phew, good. We made it!

With that said, Elena said away with a thin grin as she jumped off her horse in front of Ryo Trun.

Ryo Jin felt some dark passion for her smile.

"Mr. Elena... why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in on the Iraklion attack? Wouldn't it taste bad if you weren't here?

"Oh? You're not even part of the Iraklion attack, are you? Me too... hey?

Liang Zhen laughed bitterly at Elena's words.

(Exactly what they call a hero of salvation... even if your body is old, your head is a boulder... is your hand at the end of the day...)

Ryo Jin, from Elena's expression, guessed why she had come here.

She read that Hodrum was going to flee the country, just like Liang Zhen.

And I'm prepared to settle with my own hands.

"How many soldiers?

"300 my side."

(You're totally willing to kill me... well, that's natural too...)

It is the dark flames of vengeance that dwell in Elena's heart.

The number of soldiers she has direct command of in this battle is roughly 3,000.

Elena's readiness is demonstrated by the fact that she led only her side 300.

The fact that you brought only your side is nothing more than a sign of willingness to use any means to ensure that you kill Hodrum.

I guess it's a mind count that Hodrum ignores trying to choose to surrender.

"So? What's the situation? Has Hodrum already escaped Iraklion?

Liang Zhen shook her head and answered Elena's question.

"Wow... there's no way you're choosing to crush balls in Iraq, is there?

The color of anxiety depends on Elena's face.

Predictions are only predictions.

She's not stupid enough to think her predictions are always right.

But we can't let this one go unpredictable.

Because if you take it off, her revenge will end here.

"There won't be any of them. From what my men have looked into, they are raising funds for the escape..."

"... still... that's what the guy's thinking."

Elena tells her to throw up.

"Do you know where you're going?

Liang Zhen gets the map from Sarah and spreads it in front of Elena.

"I've narrowed it down to two choices… When I think about preparing a carriage and having Hodrum's family in one place unfamiliar with the havoc, I think I'm going to run south first."

Ryo True fingers peer through the map.

"As long as it becomes... you must be right to avoid the east. If you go that way in this situation, you will be targeted by the nobles who want to sell the charm to the princess..."

Ryo Jin nodded.

Princess Lupis is now victorious.

Those who have been watching or hostile to us have managed to get into Princess Lupis to protect her family name.

It can be described as suicidal for Hodrum to head east in such a situation.

Everyone was visible trying to get Hodrum's neck into the princess as a souvenir.

"Not to the west either... there are many mountains in the border zone with the Kingdom of Zaluda... and then the south..."

Elena's analysis seems to have reached the same conclusion as Ryo Trun's.

Especially her face doesn't look troubled.

I guess I'm certain of something.

"Liangzhen, are you worried about two choices, south or southwest?

Ryo Jin nods silently.

"Then I'll fix that problem for you. Hodlum's escape route is south. I can't think of anything else."

Elena ran out of confidence.

"On what grounds?

"Because his wife is from the nobility of the Kingdom of Taluja."

Kingdom of Taluja.

It is the name of a country about 100 km south of Iraklion.

Certainly an easy choice as a place to escape if you are from your wife's country of origin.

Asylum will also be easy to seek if there is even some margin.

"As far as it goes... if you're on edge, it's possible to go for the Kingdom of Taluja... but isn't there any chance you can get behind it in anticipation?

Liang Zhen doesn't want to put a dick to it.

He also acknowledges the persuasion in Elena's words.

But as he himself chose when he escaped from the Oltomere Empire, the best means do not always yield good results.

The best hand is easy to predict from others' point of view.

That's why you can confuse the other person's eyes by choosing the next good hand.

Ryo Trun cared about its potential.

"So you don't pick the best with the wax. But don't worry about it... because if we go southeast from Iraklion, we'll get to the Kingdom of Britannia."

Elena's finger points next to the Kingdom of Taluja.

"It's almost as far away as the Kingdom of Taluja, isn't it? Is there no chance of escape to this Kingdom of Britannia?

Elena shook her head at Liang Zhen's inquiry.

"None of them... Taluja and Britannia have been each other for years. If only Hodrum escapes, he can't take his wife from Taluja. And Hodrum can't throw his wife away. If you do that, you'll have zero force to help Hodrum."

"Mr. Elena says Hodrum is willing to rebound his forces in the Kingdom of Taluja?... you still want power?

"Yeah, he's definitely not the kind of guy who pulls back like this... he's not such a sweet guy"

If Elena's words were correct, I could say with certainty that Hodrum would go for the Kingdom of Taluja.

My wife's country of origin is more convenient as a place to flee than a completely marginal country.

But Ryo Jin heard Elena's words and had new concerns.

That's about Hodrum's wife I never cared about before.

Elena's revenge is not just Hodrum's own life.

The blade is also pointed at the family.

Naturally to Hodrum's wife too...

The question is whether the killing of Hodrum's wife will result in the creation of a new enemy in the Kingdom of Roselia.

(Elena knows a human being named Hodrum better... I guess we should follow her judgment here... I'm just curious that his wife is a nobleman from another country. Are you sure you're okay with killing me like that?

But Ryo Jin swung away his raised concerns.

"Okay. I'll follow your lead."

The word was a sign of intent to make Elena's revenge a top priority.

Elena nodded deeply at Ryo True's words.

"So what do you do? Do they strike as soon as they leave Iraq? Or do you want to do it a little further away?

"I think this is a good place... what do you think?

Elena nods gently to Ryo True's question and points to a point on the map.

According to the map, the place is a forest.

It's a convenient place to lay your soldiers down.

"Cheng Cheng...... then you should split your troops into two hands...... yeah, I'll lead you around 200 to play the hounding role? Would it be more convenient for Elena?

Liang Zhen perceived Elena's intentions.

That also passes on to Elena.

"Thank you... Ryo Makoto"

The words represented her heart.

And the fate of Hodrum and his family.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It's Kyle. I don't suppose there's a chaser, is there?

To Hodrum's words, Kale turns to the rear of the horse.

"Yes, my lord... for now... I wonder if anyone has noticed our escape yet"

"Well... you seemed right to follow your advice and try to escape at a time when Lupis' army was pushing over, Kyle."

"Ha! Words of Ariachi!

Kale bowed his head deeply to Hodrum's words.

When Hodrum cashed his assets, he gathered a handful of sidekicks who followed him into the mansion, waiting for the time of year.

the opportunity for them to leave Iraklion's premises. "Chance".

And that, I visited today.

By the army of Princess Lupis, in response to the start of the attack against Iraq.

The city of Iraklion fell into havoc.

Between Gerhard and Princess Lupis, the story of Kyoujun had already been compiled, but the story had not spread to the general public.

As a result, it only seemed to the inhabitants that Princess Lupis had marched the army to the solemnity of the Duke of Gerhardt.

Whatever the ruling class does, citizens are not inherently related.

But if the army were to attack for the city, there would naturally be sacrifices for the citizens.

So the inhabitants were to flee the city to protect their lives and their meagre possessions.

The Hodlums made a gap in that mess.

"Hung! Don't think I'll have to stay like this! The reward of falling in the wasp... you lupis! You Gerhardt! You must remind me!

You were relieved that you couldn't see the chaser, and the curse leaked out of Hodrum's mouth.

He was completely reopened.

It can also be considered an extreme of disrespect, such as the renunciation of the royal name.

But he had already given up his place in the Kingdom of Roselia.

Nobility, knighthood, and royalty.

Hodrum has been truncated from the ruling class of the Kingdom of Roselia.

But there is no justification for his resentment.

There is no such thing as Princess Lupis falling into a hodrum.

He simply betrayed Princess Lupis himself and fell into Gerhardt.

It was only Hodrum himself who betrayed him.

But his head doesn't work that way.

His plight can only be considered to be the work of others.

That's who he is again, which is why he fell off until he fled the country.

"How's it going with my wife and daughter? Doesn't that seem like a problem?

Hodrum turned his attention to the carriage that chased him backwards.

His family is on the other side.

"Ha! We do our best to be comfortable in the carriage"

"Mm-hmm. That's my last trump card! Look, I can't allow you to make a mistake!

"Rest assured, my lord. We will definitely take you safely to Taluja!... Right?!

Kale urged the concurrent knights to agree.

"" "Leave it to us, my lord!

Hodlum's trump card is the trump card of all of Kayle and others present here.

Everyone on this occasion is just as unlikely to live in the Kingdom of Roselia as Hodrum.

They have done whatever they please with Hodrum's glory as a shield.

That's why they don't betray Hodrum.

If the hodrum floats, we float, and if the hodrum sinks, we sink.

They weren't about loyalty to Hodrum, they were about simple damage.

"Uhm! To the Prince of the Kingdom of Taluja, if you let me daughter-in-law my daughter, I can take power as a foreign relative! Then I promise you all the right treatment!

"" "Ha!

The proximity lowered their heads with their voices in alignment.

The last trump card left in Hodrum, which was his wife and his daughter, nobles within the Kingdom of Taluja.

He was looking to set himself up by having his own daughter daughter-in-law to the Prince of Taluja.

Especially since it's only Hodrum's desire.

Because he has not yet done anything against the nobles and royalty of the Kingdom of Taluja.

But there are few options left for him.

Among them, it is most likely that it will return to the centre of power.

His heart is still unbroken.

(The eagle... it doesn't end like this! Must have power in my hands again!

Perhaps they are the work of man who speaks of the fruit of power.

The pleasure of dominating people.

They are similar to drugs and erode people's minds.

"Will it ever end like this!

There was a dark flame of paranoia in Hodrum's eyes.
