Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 391
Episode 391 Wow!
Rumbling.
The entire palace shook as if there had been an earthquake due to the powerful explosion that blew away a quarter of the inner palace centered on the training hall.
At the epicenter of the explosion, Logan was sweating coldly.
A superhuman commits self-destruction?
“Crazy people…”
It was fortunate that I felt something was wrong and gathered my strength to cut out the space even if it was half a beat late.
If it had been just a little bit later, the entire inner palace would have been blown away. No matter how positive he thought, he would not have been able to avoid being slandered.
But since one of the guys who did this ran away, I couldn’t just be angry.
Logan’s eyes turned to the corpses of the knights who had exploded to death as they approached outside the training ground.
Anger boiled in my heart at that terrible sight.
‘You’re going to do something like this and run away? ‘Stop laughing.’
thud.
When I concentrated my anger and took a step, the force that boiled up explosively, as if reflecting that anger, rushed towards the sword more fiercely than ever before.
My senses amplified along with that, I vaguely caught the presence of the guy running towards the entrance of the palace.
That moment.
Skag.
The sword was drawn like lightning into the air.
It seemed like he was cutting meaninglessly in the empty air, but there was a clear feeling in Logan’s hand.
Something that clearly exists but does not exist. The feeling that only God could touch the soul, the source of existence, being torn apart by his blow.
‘success…!’
The 8th type of secret divine sword, soul splitting (Saengnyeongcham, 生靈斬).
At this moment, the secret technique that only the legendary Auror Master could use, and the evolved version of the Soul Blade that Sword Soul had shown him a few years ago, unfolded without difficulty in Logan’s hands.
More natural than ever.
“As expected, practical combat is the best way to master a technique.”
The greatest value of Shingeom Vision is that it allows one to utilize higher powers in the name of vision.
I was once again convinced that with the power of the vision and the power of the characteristic ‘karma’, I would soon be able to reach the legendary level of Auror Master.
The gruesomely crushed corpses of the knights came into the eyes of Logan, who was smiling like that.
A complexion that suddenly hardens.
If they had been dealt with a little sooner, there wouldn’t have been such sacrifices. I had no choice but to grit my teeth because I was ashamed of how I had just been happy with my own accomplishments.
And then other knights quickly approached Logan.
– your majesty!
The hardened faces seemed to show their concern, so Logan put on an expression as calm as possible.
“It was an attack by imperial ghosts. The bereaved families of the knights who died in the line of duty should receive appropriate compensation…”
“Your Majesty! We’re in big trouble!”
The big problem is already over….
“The kings of Liberty and Terronan have been assassinated! The reinforcements heading to the western border are preparing to retreat!”
…what?
Francisco Romero’s words, which came out like a scream, silenced Logan.
– Simultaneous death (assassination) of King Liberty Terronan.
– All successors are studying abroad (hostage) at McLane. Internal chaos expected.
– The superhumans who led the troops of each kingdom declared a withdrawal during a national emergency.
A real-time report from Royal Guard Commander Francisco Romero.
As soon as Logan heard the report, he couldn’t help but distort his expression.
Liberty and Teronan are weak countries. Their power is only comparable to one imperial corps per kingdom. But in other words, the power of two corps was separated from the front line.
It was a fatal blow that came just as the imperial army began its advance.
“…Yeah. There’s no way they can only target me. Damn it!”
“yes?”
“No, no. What about the princes?”
“As soon as the news came, I was asked to return home. They said it was a clause in the agreement…”
Logan sighed at Francisco’s words.
“I’m going on a mission tomorrow…”
“What will you do, Your Majesty?”
There was no time for persuasion. I had to go to the battlefield tomorrow, within a few days at the latest.
“…There is nothing we can do. We are going to take extreme medication.”
“yes?”
“Gather all the princes together. I must meet them in person.”
“…Yes? Oh yes. I understand.”
Logan quickly walked forward, leaving behind the confused guards.
* * *
“…Pro-dog? With all of us?”
Prince Timon Liberty, first in line to the throne of the Liberty Kingdom, frowned as he looked at the attendant.
“Yes, that’s right. Your Majesty wants to see you in person. You need to prepare right away.”
“…i get it.”
Timon managed his expression and immediately nodded.
With the situation being like this, there was only one reason to ask to see him.
Although he was confused by the sudden news, he had already made up his mind.
‘No matter what King Logan says, we have to go back. My younger siblings may not know, but I definitely will!’
The father king has passed away and the kingdom is in chaos. If he did not return to this situation and calm the public sentiment, a rebellion could have broken out in the occupied territory that had been pacified the year before.
The recall of the army was also essential.
‘We cannot be ruined by helping other people’s countries.’
It was such an obvious cause. I also feel sorry for my late father, but this was a golden opportunity to end my hostage life and escape from McLane’s influence.
In the first place, wasn’t it an incomprehensible move for him and his younger brothers to come to McLane as hostages just to ask them not to invade while the civil war was being resolved?
Now is the chance to reverse that unreasonable decision.
It is clear that MacLine will fail soon anyway.
Because it is reckless for small kingdoms to unite and resist an empire.
‘The father’s death can be investigated after the kingdom is taken over.’
Perhaps this was the work of the ghosts of the conquered welfare states that have now taken over Liberty.
– That can’t be possible. Just thinking about what the empire did not long ago…
I unconsciously ignored the voice of truth coming from my heart. Because if you admit that fact, the path to revenge becomes very difficult.
‘You can go back and reorganize the kingdom and then surrender to the empire. Then we can maintain the royal family.’
So-in, who was faced with a huge disaster that he could not handle, could only think of God.
however.
The owner of Daejeon, where he had no choice but to visit, did not tolerate his escape from reality.
“I believe that even the princes have an intuition that the disasters of Liberty and Terronan were orchestrated by the Empire.”
Three princes of Liberty, two princes and a princess of Terronan.
With six royal families in front of him, Logan got straight to the point.
While everyone looked perplexed, the first to protest was Liberty’s first prince, Timon.
“Are you saying this because you have confirmation, Your Majesty?”
He did not like the arrogant assurances of the king, who was several years younger than him.
Isn’t this just because the two countries received reinforcements and the country became ‘more’ endangered?
Besides, why would an empire bother to assassinate the king of a weak country?
“hmm?”
For a moment, I didn’t like the eyes that were staring at me and the absurd expression on my face, but I couldn’t resist outright.
Timon forced his shoulders to avoid being intimidated by the other person’s gaze.
but.
“…Our homeland is in crisis right now. I know McLane’s situation, but we are in no position to blindly help without any basis. Please understand, Your Majesty.”
His voice gradually became quieter without realizing it.
“So you’re going to play to the enemy’s tricks?”
“The enemy!? The Empire is the enemy of McLane, not the enemy of Liberty or Theronan…!”
“older brother!”
The moment Timon’s voice rose, his younger brother standing next to him urgently tugged on his sleeve.
The surrounding atmosphere becomes chilly. Timon realized that he had made a mistake and quickly lowered his head.
“I made a mistake. I am sorry, Your Majesty.”
“A slip of the tongue?”
As the king burst into laughter, his younger brother, Heyman Liberty, who was next to him, slightly blocked his brother’s path and bowed his head again.
“It seems like you were greatly shocked by the news of your father’s death. I would like to apologize for my rude words. I hope you will understand with an open mind, Your Majesty.”
“The prince who is over 30 is still like a child, and the prince who has just come of age is actually more mature. The second son, not the first, is the king, so what I heard when I was at Liberty is definitely not wrong.”
He could feel his brother getting angry again at those words, but Heyman was more concerned about the king’s words than that.
When you were at Liberty?
“Have you ever been to Liberty?”
Heyman asked with a shocked expression on his face, but the King put his hand in his bosom and smiled bitterly.
“There’s no need to say much.”
Ugh.
Blue light spread from the king’s whole body.
Heyman can immediately tell that it is the work of an artifact in the king’s bosom.
Soon, the king became a middle-aged man with brown hair and brown eyes and a gaunt look, and a ‘silver’ aura emanated from his fingertips.
At the same time, a heavy, modulated voice echoed throughout Daejeon.
“Do you recognize me, Princes of Liberty?”
Even though it was common to see ordinary brown hair and a grim face, no one from Liberty would have been able to recognize the appearance of a man with a ‘silver’ aura added to it.
A hero who lifted up a kingdom that was in crisis just a few years ago.
And the Silver Reaper of Liberty, who disappeared due to an imperial conspiracy not long ago.
“Gale Slayer!?”
“What is this!?”
“How can the auror’s color be…!?”
At that time, the princes of Liberty were momentarily shocked and embarrassed.
– Please come, Her Majesty the Queen.
With the knight’s voice, the door to the main hall opened and a red-haired woman dressed in light armor entered.
Why is the queen here?
The moment when the attention of the confused audience is focused.
Queen Eilen smiled and activated the artifact in her arms.
Flashing.
Appearance that changes with the blue light. Eilen, who had transformed into a brown-haired, brown-eyed man like the king, looked at the Teronan princes and princesses.
“You’re different from me, right? Ronan, Esili, Rotman?”
As a low modulated voice came out, their eyes doubled in size as red Auror armor materialized covering her entire body.
“Oh, Master Armored?”
“Ahmaud Hassen!?”
“How could you…!”
Looking at them in shock, Logan, disguised as Guile, opened his mouth.
“Now do you understand why you are here in McLane?”
Despite that question, the six royal families had no answer. The shock was too great.
Logan chuckled and continued.
“As you all know, the current situation is a bit difficult. Even if you don’t want to, we will have to force your cooperation. Of course, this is also the path for your homeland.”
Logan stood up from the throne with a thud and walked towards them.
“I’m sure there isn’t another idiot who still hasn’t figured out the situation, right?”
What on earth are they trying to do?
The moment the force of the superhumans pouring in from front and back put intense pressure on their entire bodies, the prince and princess could only nod their heads. Soon, the
king gently placed his hand on the shoulder of Timon, who was shaking the most among them, and whispered,
“Pretend to be friendly . Chuck.”
… What kind of bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden!?
Timon screamed on the inside, but on the outside he could only force a nod.
And that very day.
[… In the end, this is all a conspiracy of the Empire.]
Liberty went missing. A video of the hero Guile Slayer and the heir to the throne, Prince Timon, holding each other’s hands and talking with a determined and grim expression has spread around the world.
In particular, Prince Timon’s voice, trembling with anger(?), is so persuasive that it makes the listener feel pity. When the images of Teronan’s guardian Ahmaud Hassen and
Teronan’s first prince Ronan were added, the army of the Kingdom Alliance that was preparing for the retreat began to burn with fighting spirit. Moreover,
they were not the only ones whose attitude changed. That video These messages were not only conveyed to the Alliance of Kingdoms and their legions.
– The Empire revealed its desire for conquest in earnest.
The video spread in real time to the western part of the continent and the countries to the western part of the empire, and they were closely watching the movements of the empire and interacting with each other. The movements of the western kingdoms that were in close contact began to accelerate,
and the very next day,
Logan officially declared his government and began marching towards Kyle, a trading city on the western border.
