Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 921
Chapter 921 Chapter
230. Invasion and Raid (2)
Jin decided to convey his thoughts to Ziffle and Kingelo.
What you need to do now is to disperse your troops to each territory rather than forcefully gathering troops at Grosh Castle to build prestige. If you don’t do that, you will definitely be greatly damaged by Jito’s transfer rift.
Of course, that was not a decision for the heads of Ziffle and Kingelo. It was a consideration for the powerless residing on their land. It goes against Jin’s convictions to stand by and watch the lives of ordinary people get destroyed just because they are an enemy country.
“Now, Sister Luna, go to the Ziffle side fleet, and Sir Hedo to the Kingelo side fleet and meet the commanders. There is a very high possibility that there will be more rift invasions soon, so just tell them that we need to deploy troops in each territory, not in Grosch.”
“I got it, Jin.”
“What if they don’t listen?”
“Please scare me hard.”
“Can I understand by saying that it is okay to lose in moderation? I am the youngest.”
“Still, the state of affairs is the state of affairs, so don’t be defeated, just create a sense of intimidation. Please also add that it would be best to finish preparing the defenses of the territory until the three-day loss field is completely gone. It’s best to prepare right now. Even if you talk about that much, if you have an idea, you will understand.”
Luna and Hedo left the conference room.
However, at that time, Beradin had already received a report from Draka about the situation that Jin expected.
“house owner! Tower’s calculation is wrong. It is reported that metastasis rifts are occurring simultaneously in all regions of the Federation…!”
Satrin Ziple said urgently.
calculation of the tower.
From the moment the Jinma War began, Ziple was no. Prior to that, from the moment he secured the Elona Ziple, he had been ‘calculating’ the future using the Tower of Story and the Demon Stone.
In particular, the calculation of the Jinma War consumed the most resources, but now Satrin was saying that the tower was completely wrong.
“… Simultaneously in all areas?”
“That’s right. There are only 15 confirmed locations and it continues to grow in real time. Me and the bookmakers are already judging that more than 50 rifts have been opened. Soon even Draka and neighboring boroughs may crack.”
Veradin’s pupils narrowed.
Rift invasion is not the first time. However, since Inse started to attack Grosh, the Jinma world has clearly shown itself overpowered. He withdrew all existing cracks and supported the castle in Grosh.
Plus more than 50 cracks at once.
This was a number that had never been seen even when the rift invasion was in full swing, and it was a number that could only be obtained by adding up all the rifts not only in the Federation at the time, but also in the whole world.
“Has the situation of other powers been confirmed?”
“Not yet.”
“Probably not that different from us. Right now, there is no reason for the Jinma World to pick and hit our Zipple.”
Veradin tapped the desk with his fingers for a few seconds.
The tower’s calculation imitated the authority of ‘Az Mill’.
However, at present, Zipple has not secured Az Mill’s contractor, Yuria. The future calculated by the tower was bound to be incomplete.
‘…There’s a reason I couldn’t put As wheat as a sacrifice, but it’s probably because of Jito’s eyes that the calculations went this far. The status of an immortal named Jito was too high for the current demon stone to handle. Besides, the power of existence that Jin Runkandel says he possesses must have put a heavy burden on the demon stone.’
Urgent footsteps continued in the hallway.
“house owner! The kingdom of Felin is crumbling. As a result, a rift formed in the castle, and the kingdom army was annihilated in an instant. The federal mages who were stationed are holding out, but they can’t hold out for long…!”
“A new rift has appeared in Barkle Borough! The largest rift ever identified! Even demons attacking the city shield from the outside have been spotted. It is believed that the nearby plains have also cracked!”
Veradin stood up from his seat.
“consul.”
“Tell me, my lord.”
“The fleet that was sent to Groschie Castle will be maintained. The same goes for the fleet currently waiting there.”
“Then Elona-sama…?”
“If the Jinma World attacks the Tower of Story, Elona-sama will have to step in, but I don’t think that’s the case. What the Jinma world is aiming for now is not us, but Seongguk’s own eyes. So Elona-sama, it’s right for you to remain in your seat in preparation for additional emergencies.”
The invasion of the enemy’s mainland and the invasion of the castle of the Jinma realm.
Veradin was convinced that those two problems would arise in the future. From the point of view of the enemy, who had been pushed back recently, this would have been the best time to pressure Ziffle.
“We will proceed with suppressing the rift only with the fleet on standby at the Maryeongdae and Holy Land. I haven’t been able to take the biggest part in the castle attack battle, so I shouldn’t lose more prestige here. It can’t be helped that the bottom line is a little more exposed.”
Satrin nodded heavily.
“All right.”
Veradin came out.
Purple cracks were spreading across Draka’s sky as well. One large rift and dozens of small and medium rifts were casting a shadow in the middle of Draka.
And why.
Veradin felt a faint aura from the cracks.
“The traitor Kelliac Ziple…”
“A homeowner?”
“consul. don’t you feel it It’s weak, but the firearms of Kellyac Ziple are seeping into the magi.”
“…According to the calculation of the demon stone, he seems to have really escaped to hell. It also means that if the head of household can feel the fire, he has regained his strength. Zito must be using it as payment for treating him.”
“Well, we’ll have to wait and see who is being used.”
Fire-!
Flames entwined around Hrotie.
At the same time, a fire shield was formed all over Drakkar. Veradin’s magical power was engulfing the entire city.
And above the shield, a fireball that looked like the sun rose.
Annihilation Flame Jade.
Veradin’s great magic instantly melted the small cracks and turned the purple sky red.
Then, before the screams of the demons could be heard, Veradin’s eyes were filled with blue flames. Blue flames were drawing blue flames in every sky that his gaze reached.
“You will see me again soon, Kelliac Ziple.”

At the same time, Kingelo New Headquarters.
Pirops woke up and walked to the meeting room. He had just received orders from Orgal through a dream.
Cracks were forming all over the land of the beastmen, but unlike the Rutero Federation, Kingelo was not in a very urgent mood.
It was because Orgal had already moved all the residents who were not capable of combat to the underground city at the time when the castle attack battle was in earnest in Grosh.
However, the residents, small beastmen, a small number of ordinary humans, and non-combat demons were not even aware that they had been moved to the underground city.
The evacuation took place after Pyrops put them all to sleep with his dream powers. Orgal did not yet intend to open the underground cities that Kingelo had come to possess.
Having used that much power, Pirops looked very tired.
“Daughter, if you had started opening your dreaming abilities a little earlier, this father wouldn’t have been this tired.”
“Heung, just because Daddy is a little tired doesn’t mean his lifespan will be shortened.”
“That’s right… That’s a very friendly answer.”
“If you say anything more, it’s definitely the ability to dream, and you can quit everything.”
“Ah, don’t do that.”
Pirops rubbed his forehead and looked at the demons sitting in the meeting room. Chagall and the highest-ranking demons in the hippopotamus world were gathered.
“We avoid direct battles with the Jinma World as much as possible and send our troops only to defend our main bases. Place masters on standby at each major base. The new headquarters will be personally protected by Bianca and I.”
“All right.”
“Again, we don’t bother defending areas that are not our main strongholds. Smaller cities can just give up completely if the rift invasion is too strong. It is enough to rebuild a destroyed city. They don’t have any defensive troops anyway, so they won’t go wild anyway. There is no reason to hit other areas while escaping the influence of the rift.”
The demons nodded.
“It’s okay to lose some masters, but make sure to minimize the casualties of all demons and beasts. Like rebuilding a destroyed city, any number of weapons can be made, but the dead cannot be brought back. Until our cause is done.”
“yes!”
After a short meeting, the demons left the conference room to carry out their orders.
Ainas stared at Pirops without leaving his seat.
“You seem to have something to say to your daughter. Are you trying to apologize for what you just said to me? Oddly enough.”
“What the hell did I say? It’s not that, I want to ask you something.”
“Right. What is it?”
“When our cause is done. Can all those sacrificed for the cause really come back?”
Resurrection of Kingelo, the great sun god.
Pirops met his daughter’s eyes.
“Not all. But probably many will come back. So is your real mother. So, my daughter will have to train her dream ability more diligently in the future. So much depends on you.”
Ainas shrugged his shoulders without answering.

Grosche Castle in ruins again.
An hour has passed since Hedo and Luna returned. Inse’s troops gathered at Groshwe Castle showed no signs of returning to their respective lands.
However, Jin had already received communications from spies hidden in the Land of Prisoners and the Federation.
“According to the spies, Kingelo and the federation have revealed more of their remaining resources. Both of them must have judged that that alone would be enough to stop this rift.”
In the territory of the Bamal Alliance, many superhumans who had been deployed on the battlefield in Grosh had returned. Just like Zipline, fierce battles are taking place in the territory of the Union due to the transitional rift.
The overall situation was going well. In the first place, among the giant powers, the Barmal Union was the best prepared for the rift.
Now, the Barmal Alliance’s job is to protect the Holy Kingdom.
Jin was waiting for a call from Seongguk. The moment Lani requested support via telecommunications, she planned to go directly to the Holy Land.
{Gongja Jin!}
The communicator suddenly vibrated. It was Casimir’s contact.
“Sir Casimir? What’s going on?”
{Thirty minutes ago, the Jin Demon World started attacking the Holy Kingdom…!}
“Did you say thirty minutes ago?”
Jin’s eyes widened.
The attack had already started thirty minutes ago, but there had been no contact from the Holy Kingdom so far.
{There was a means to block communication! The fact that I was able to confirm that the Seongguk was attacked even late was thanks to the Seven Birds informant waiting nearby. It was said that communication was possible only after being away from the castle for a long time. You should hurry and go to the Holy Land.}
