Chapter 371: Lucky Day (2)

‘I just set the probability low.’

This had been classified as something that rarely happened because the Republic’s extreme choice could have been self-defense.

The cause was always on our side.

As if international relations were not important, it was irrational itself to stand up to someone like the demon summoner Jin Qing with the current circumstances.

Of course, not all countries were as sensitive to demons as the State, the Laios, or some of the other races.

However…

‘It’s still irrational.’

Turning against God is something that couldn’t be imagined on the continent, at least.

Of course, even if the demon in the Republic decided their course in that direction, there would still be questions.

War was not such an easy decision. It didn’t mean that you could prepare for it in less than a month. At least, if I had been in the Republic leader’s position, I would have looked and moved a little longer.

That was right.

Of course, the story would be different if the Republic had been working on this war scenario since before.

‘No. Still, it’s the same as it’s irrational.’

If I were to think about it, there had been a time when the Cheon Gwan-wi and Wi Ran of the Eight Seats in the State had said that the Republic’s movement was unusual.

Of course, even so, as long as the situation came to this point, it was not the time to enter the war scenarios they had. We could never pull the trigger first. Even more, assuming that the two groups have similar strengths.

If they were to pull the trigger first, there were two reasons. No, three or so.

They were out of their mind, they were confident of winning, or they really needed to start a war.

Maybe they thought that they needed to deal with the internal threat outside, or they may have the confidence to devour the State without much damage.

Of course, there was no guarantee that it was they who had attacked first. Indeed, we had not yet heard exactly how the war broke out.

However, it was undeniable that an uncomfortable situation would have come.

‘The United Kingdom is also bothering…’

There was also the possibility that some countries, who considered it dangerous for the State to spread the idea of ??revolution, had also cooperated with the Republic.

Both the Republic and the State didn’t choose the monarchy, but unlike the State, which was made up of a bloody revolution, the Republic only changed in name from the emperor to president.

Each country’s leaders may have been unpleasantly looking at the people’s victory, which was achieved through the Goddess’ Mirror.

There was no end when I was to think about it.

No wonder a headache had begun to spring up, all because of the constant rush of miscellaneous thoughts.

Of course, it was not just me who was suffering from a headache.

‘That…’

Kim Hyunsung also had a complex expression.

‘Are we not expected to have a war? Was the timing early?’

Naturally, it felt frustrating because it was impossible to know what had happened in the current period of the first round. We didn’t even know if the current war would work in our favor.

I had no choice but to guess.

The face Kim Hyunsung was showing was far from the one that welcomed the war.

Even though this was an opportunity to end Jin Qing, the masked trash of the first round, seeing the expression on Hyunsung’s face told me that he did not welcome this change in events.

What I could guess right now was that Kim Hyunsung’s return was not at least because of the Republic, or the first round’s masked trash.

What he was worried about right now was power loss—loss of troops capable of responding to the unknown threat that he had faced against during the first round.

If I assumed that a really big event would break out in the not too distant future, it would be natural not to welcome a fight between humans.

Not only Kim Hyunsung, but also Benignore and Elune trash were not opening their mouths.

‘Is there a security level? Or can’t you tell me, too?’

If I were to think that there was also the possibility that the masked trash might be on the side of the unknown, then it was worth considering. However, I still did not know what I should do about this now.

I couldn’t set the right route to take. I hadn’t heard of the start of the war yet, but these things had already happened.

The question now was how to solve this war.

‘Should I even try to stop?’

If we were to fight with the spirit of death, the power would be reduced regardless of this war’s victory or defeat.

Even if the State won, it would suffer great damage. Even if we solved the immediate problem, we would not be able to prepare for the future properly.

When a heavy silence descended, I spoke up.

“Hyunsung. This…”

“Yes.”

“No, it’s nothing. I have no idea what to do.”

“For… now, we should hurry back to the kingdom to see the situation. We should also be briefed on how things are going. Is the kingdom of Eberia also under the influence?”

The elven messenger answered the question. I could see him speaking with an anxious voice, as if he didn’t know much.

“No, but I have heard the news that the current troops are heading to the kingdom. Perhaps rather than a direct attack, the better idea would be to isolate the support forces heading to the State and Laios.”

‘That’s right.’

As long as the World Tree’s magic power was maintained, the troops would not be able to enter.

What they wanted was the isolation of the Eberian kingdom. They did not only want to decimate the troops; they also wanted to block their supply.

“What about the State?”

“Yes, Honorary Cardinal. The State is…”

“Yes.”

“At the moment, the front line on the Dawan side has already collapsed, and I have heard that Castle Rock is being surrounded by enemy forces.”

‘Fuck. It’s more serious than I thought…’

It was shocking news that the Dawan Front had already collapsed. It was clear that if Castle Rock were to be captured, we would be pushed back to Lindel.

If we were to get pushed to Lindel, the capital would also be dominated quickly.

The fact that the Dawan Front collapsed in the first place meant that the Laios side’s situation was also not very lucky.

‘Ah…’

Even things were going against us too quickly.

“We will return as quickly as possible.”

“Yes.”

The guild members who agreed with Kim Hyunsung’s words nodded. No wonder we began to move in a hurry.

As we approached the royal palace in Eberia, we could see that there were certainly some battles.

Many troops were waiting. Fear lay in the faces of some. Even though the battle had not yet taken place on the Eberian front side, they already looked like this.

I, too, would surely soon look like them.

The soldiers and guards sent signs as the castle kept getting closer. After a simple procedure, we greeted each other. Several of the elven commanders started talking with Elios and Kim Hyunsung seriously.

It felt like the atmosphere had become horrible once again. The only hope I could see was that I had caught sight of some unfamiliar people walking towards us.

Even when I looked up straight with my eyes open, they didn’t seem to be settled here. That would be natural because the race itself was different.

‘Dwarf?’

Certainly, they were dwarves.

It was the same as the description I had read somewhere, with the appearance that it was hard to think of as human by any way, with the short stature and the big beard that covered the face.

It felt like one of them approaching us was a dwarf of a high position. Kim Hyunsung and Elios were also confused by their sudden appearance.

I was not the only one who felt puzzled as I could hear the entire expedition muttering. I couldn’t imagine that things would have gone this far while I was inside. There were so many things that happened so quickly that it had been difficult to follow.

However, I nodded.

I didn’t know what was going on, but at least it wasn’t bad news that he was here.

“It’s been a while, Volgor.”

“Elios. It’s nice to see you. I couldn’t even imagine seeing you like this… Did you achieve any results in the expedition?”

“Yes. Fortunately, it ended safely… Is it possible that Volgor is here…?”

“We also decided to add some strength.”

“That’s fortunate out of misfortune.”

“Who knew I would be impressed by human speech? Haha. Come to think of it, there was an important guest. Nice to meet you, Blue Guild Master, and Honorary Cardinal of the State. You can call me Volgor.”

“Nice to meet you, Volgor-nim.”

“I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“What?”

“You’re exactly what I heard from the little human woman. You’ve been having a lot of trouble.”

‘What is this again?’

“Ah. Come to think of it…”

“Yes. Soon after arriving, what exactly happened…? In fact, I don’t really understand why you came to join us.”

“Five days ago, some humans came to the kingdom. And they had a lot of conversations with His Majesty the King. I never thought that an elf or that human woman could change his Majesty’s mind, but in the end, it worked out. I was also impressed… That’s why we are here.”

‘Good.’

It seemed that they weren’t just being attacked. There was some movement on the side of the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

I didn’t know how many achievements had been made at the moment, but they probably thought that it was more advantageous to grow in size.

I think I know who led this work for some reason. Speaking of a little human woman, I had only one person in mind.

‘Lee Jihye?’

I thought she would be in Laios, but she seemed to have come here.

As I turned my head while talking with the dwarf, I could see those wearing the guild pattern of the Black Swan. Perhaps the rest of their members would be coming for me now.

Naturally, I thought I needed to know a little more details.

I couldn’t help but speak up to Kim Hyunsung, Elios, and Dwarf Volgor. “Hyunsung-ssi.”

“Yes?”

“I think there is something I need to find out for a minute. If you go first and listen to them, I will catch up with you later.”

He was a bit puzzled, Hyunsung eventually nodded.

“Yes. Okay, Kiyoung-ssi. I think it would be better for other people to return to accommodation and reorganize. Ahyoung will repair equipment and expand personal supplies. Others can relax if they need a break. I will take time to explain the route and the current situation in the future. Please, Deokgu, Hee-young, and Hyejin, come with me.”

“Yes, Guild Master.”

“Okay. Don’t worry about us and go.”

“Then see you in a minute.”

“Yes.”

“Hayan.”

“Yes, Oppa.”

“Go in first and take a nap. I know you haven’t fully recovered yet. I’ll go right away.”

I didn’t hear an answer at first. She seemed to be trembling, but Jung Hayan eventually nodded.

She had also consumed a lot of magic power, and she would have hit her physical limit as she basically had a weak body.

Not knowing when the battle will take place, recovering would be the top priority for now.

Before long, Kim Hyunsung moved along with Elena and Elios, and others and the guild members began to scatter to do the work they were given.

Except for Jung Hayan, there was a slight tension on their faces. They all knew the weight of war.

Humans and monsters were different.

It wasn’t until now that there was no battle with humans, but anyone would have to show signs of anxiety under the current situation.

Only after I was alone, a member of the Black Swan guild began to approach me slowly.

“Honorary Cardinal, wait…”

“Yes. You can guide me.”

It was obvious where he was going.

‘Why is she here?’

Lee Jihye was here.
