Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 707
Chapter 707,
Chapter 179. Inescapable Trap (6)
[How did you know Hester was gone?]
[You’re talking stupid again. Do you really need to check your back to know if a mosquito has bitten your back? I am part of my mother. And Hufester’s marriage is all made up of his mother’s power.]
The power Dipus received from Rosa lightly exceeded Illina’s expectations.
‘Why would you rather give it to me, to the 4th Horseman… But still, Runkandel’s lineage comes first? Come now?’
Deepus held a sneer as if he could clearly see Illina’s true intentions.
[When will I be able to shake off that arrogance… There are many similarities between you and Joshua. All I have is the background, full of greed, and being agitated whenever things don’t go the way I thought.] [
Am I just ridiculous after being encouraged by the family head?]
[It’s funny. Still thinking of resurrecting Heluram through your mother… You revere your mother, but you are not loyal. Your allegiance is still toward Heluram.]
[Yes yes. Think whatever you want.]
[By the way, Prophet. Helluram will never wake up. Do you think mother really wants the end of the world?]
[The end is just something that inevitably happens in the process of the matriarch becoming a perfect bust…]
Illina’s eyes widened.
[Does that mean that the head of the household is not planning to acquire complete godhood?]
[Yes. If Runkandel’s name is not to be lost, it needs people to remember and worship it. A world of ashes and dust is not worth ruling. You’ll believe that your motherly instincts will eventually want the end, but if you keep doing that, you’ll end up like Joshua sooner or later.] Slowly, Difus rose from her
seat.
The eternal flower attached to the upper body was still not extinguished.
[If you understand, stop holding on to the fire you can’t handle, throw away your time and go do your job. The youngest is coming soon. He never misses an opportunity.]
[…The fact that we stopped the invasion for a while because of the fire on you can’t be an opportunity for the Twelve Horsemen. Even if they come to attack this place, we will still have an overwhelming advantage.]
[It’s frustrating now. This is why you and Joshua only got beaten by the maknae every time. This is a bigger crisis than ever. Because my mother can’t move, and there’s a good chance that the fire that’s burning me won’t be extinguished until the youngest comes. It means that if there is a battle, I could be pushed by the youngest.]
[You could lose?]
[Yes. So you have to make a plate. Even if I lose, Runkandel won’t lose.]

Jin shared the information Valeria had learned with Veradin and Zephyrin.
“…So the reason why the Garden of Swords stopped invading the royal family right now is because you dealt damage to the Fourth Horseman? That was confirmed by Hester by reading the records of the portal left in the Scholl Empire.”
“okay.”
“In the meantime, the main forces of the Garden of Swords have been shown to resurrect quickly even if they die, but the 4th horseman suffered an irreversible injury for more than a few days… This is a very special story. The regenerative power they have should come from the body, but something went wrong.”
“Whether there was a problem or not. It’s almost certain that the Hungry God can’t restore the 4th Horseman right away. I can see why Jin-kyung insisted on moving so quickly.”
Jin nodded at the words of Beradin and Zephyrin.
“Han’s in a hurry. When the 4th rider recovers, the invasion will begin again through large-scale teleportation. All forces except our Tikan have already been hit hard by it and have not been able to respond properly. The reason we didn’t get hit was only because they didn’t invade. If we get invaded a few more times like this, the royalties may end before we face off against the evil spirits.”
“So, in this counterattack, we must not only rescue the prisoners, but also find a way to suppress their large-scale teleportation in the future?”
“Exactly, Beradin. If we don’t find it this time, there is no future.”
“We must mobilize troops that can be called a quasi-all-out war. Fleet power of each faction is essential to bring the rescued prisoners anyway. In effect, it will be a rehearsal for the decisive battle with the evil god…”
“Not only troops, but also special technicians and researchers will have to go together. To find clues about mass teleportation.”
In Zipline, the best researchers in the Mage Tower and Beradin Kinzelo had already been captured, so Bubar and Orgal, and in Tikan, Valeria and Quaulatri had to go to the front.
“Why don’t we set it at dawn two days later, Jin?”
“I think that would be a good time for me too. One of the largest powers of the Temporary Alliance is my owner, and I need to rest for at least that amount of time so that I can show my strength worthy of the prestige. Even now, I am exhausted and sent to the conference instead of me.”
Jin nodded.
All that was left was to work out the details of the operation and pray that Difus would not recover within two days.

At dawn on May 22, 1803, near the bow on deck of the Teenager.
The time for counterattack has come. Valeria had been looking at the dimensional door of the Scholl Empire, but fortunately, there was no record of the chaos dimensional door being reopened.
[Look, what did I say? I said your fire is special. He must still be in terrible pain, that Dipus.]
Bale said.
Jin pondered over how to respond to this ignorant old teenage knight, then just kept his mouth shut. Mary must have heard Bale’s voice.
Mary didn’t react differently to Veil’s words and didn’t take her eyes off the dark sky.
Tikan’s veterans were currently waiting for Orgal aboard Merry and Cosmos’s fleet.
Through his steel gate, he decided to move at once to the center of Riccarton and the nearby Hufester territorial waters.
“the youngest.”
“Tell me, sister.”
“I’m just saying this just in case, but don’t be complacent about trying to save Brother Dipus somehow. Unlike Runtia, my older brother has already killed too many people. Even if that wasn’t your brother’s will.”
“…yes.”
Jin had the same idea. At first, I wanted to somehow save Difus like Runtia, but now there was no hope.
Above all, the current Difus is not an opponent that can be relaxed. If he dealt with him with a clumsy mind, he and his colleagues aboard the ship would die.
Just like when they went to support the Sword Emperor Temple to save Dante, the Bamal Alliance was currently mobilizing almost all of its power.
Starting with the survivors of Runcandel, including the brothers Mary and Tona, as well as the main characters who were always on standby in Tikan, a large-scale force participated in the battle from the Unknown and Secret Empire.
In fact, only Casimir and the king’s immediate garrison remained, and everyone was on their way to the battlefield.
“Eh Gongja. Wouldn’t Tikan be attacked as soon as we get to Riccarton?”
“I left the red owl in case of that, Enya. Until earlier, Valeria had read the records of the portal.”
Quikantel answered Enya’s question.
“Whoa, I’m still worried. Especially YuRia… It’s okay, right? I feel so bad about what if that child collapses while we are gone. Since the king has to keep waiting for the situation, he probably won’t have the energy to take care of YuRia, but Master isn’t the kind of person who is good at comforting someone.”
“Veris has often been seen playing well with YuRia, surprisingly. There are also Finte and Kou. So don’t worry too much and just think of us safely finishing the operation and going back.”
“Yes Enya. Don’t forget that you are the head of the Tikan Wizardry. If you can’t concentrate, your subordinates will be more anxious.”
With a click, Alyssa tousled Enya’s hair as she checked the gauntlet.
“Ugh I know. Captain of the defense.”
“You may not have many good memories of the empire… but most of the people of the empire who were taken to Riccarton are powerless and weak people like you back then. So let’s save them and bring them back to normal.”
“Ah, I’m sure it’s awkward for me to save people from the empire? I was just worried about the garrison commander’s daughter. I’m sorry if you looked at me like that! Even if there are nobles who harassed me among the captives, it doesn’t matter. Hehe, thanks to Confucius Jin, I overcame everything and passed.”
“I just said it, sweetheart. I know best that Enya is kind.”
“Yes, yes. Among those arrested, there must be members of my official fan club and your unofficial fan club. Since we are the president, we have to save him.”
“Stop talking nonsense, Miss Sandra.”
“Hey, you shouldn’t call me by my real name in a place where our members are. Be sure to call it Nodav Sarsaeng, okay? So that my sense of mystery is not undermined.”
“Whoa.”
“By the way, Orgal is late… I’m sure the operation isn’t disrupted already.”
Balkas looked at his pocket watch and said.
3:07 am.
It was only 7 minutes late, but the size of the operation made me impatient.
Unlike Tikan, who uses Orgal’s portal, Ziple and Kingelo’s fleet was flying directly to Riccarton.
When Ziffle’s fleet (with the Imperial force aboard) reached the northern border of Riccarton and Kingelo’s fleet (with Secret and Nameless on board) reached the west, Orgal sent Tikan’s force to the center of Riccarton. It was decided to divide it into territorial waters and move it.
Tick tock tock…!
While the scheduled time continued to delay, the waves dyed in the night sky were crashing into the stretching fleet.
After 30 minutes passed, the anxiety of the entire fleet gradually increased, and finally, a huge steel door was formed in the air.
“Orgal!”
After passing through the steel door, Orgal was already quite tired.
[Everyone must have been worried because it was late. There was no problem with the operation. Rather, a good news occurred.]
“A good news?”
When Jin asked, Orgal nodded.
[I didn’t feel good, so I went to reconnaissance one more time, but in the process, the energy of the evil god ran out of control. Time was delayed because the rest of the allies waited for the aftermath to subside before entering.]
“How is that a good thing?”
[That runaway is like talking in a drool of an evil spirit, Jin. Right now, for some reason… Maybe it was a situation where I couldn’t move because I was in despair, but it must have been a momentary flinch at the external stimulus of invasion. It means that the possibility of a breast god coming out directly in this battle is very low.]
