142. Civil War (4)
Koo!
bang!
Aww!
“Hey, what is this?”
“Is this an enemy air strike?”
Once upon a time, there was a commotion in Athlonia.
People came out to see what was going on.
Through the thick clouds of dust, a gurgling sound of pain is heard.
jerk-
Then, through the dust cloud, a figure like a painting is revealed.
Even the clouds of dust seemed to be directed for him, making him feel wild.
“professor… … .”
The first to react was Lit behind Forlan Athlon.
She recognized the owner of that figure at a glance.
A month later, he ran and hugged him.
The soft feel, the soft feel… … .
‘yes? Fluffy?’
A touch that could never be felt from Lucas.
“Mommy, did you miss me so much?”
When he lifted his buried head, where did Lucas go, Milia greeted him with a bright smile.
“Nice to meet you. Professor of Grasco, Lucas von Kraus.”
“Hey, you were a professor. My son is being taken care of. This is Forlan Athlon, the lord of Athlonia.”
Jesse’s father, Forlan Athlon.
It can be said that it is a model of the Knights of Ermel.
However, when it comes to the matter of his son, Jessie, it’s a flaw that he can’t make a rational decision.
So, in the original ＜A.Chun.Mang>, he was a character who met an honorable death while fighting Jessi, who became a magician.
But now, it has emerged as an important character indispensable to this civil war.
grabbed his hand.
Unlike me, he is a man with calluses cut here and there, and he can feel ‘strong’ from his hands.
In fact, his status is superior to other knights.
However, his son is Jessie, one of the greatest talents on the continent, so the light will only fade.
Also, he is ambitious.
Using Jessie’s talent as a stepping stone, he has ambitions to revive Athlon into the best family, just like when Ermel was founded.
As for what was attached to Irelin, Laonis III had already been taken as soon as it was printed, so it is highly likely that he was aiming for an opportunity in a new place.
It’s hard to ignore the huge contribution of establishing a base.
what’s up
It is true that Irelin is receiving a lot of strength thanks to this.
“I had no idea you were coming.”
“It would have been. That’s what makes this operation worthwhile.”
“Oh.”
Forlan’s body leaned toward the operation that could overturn the unfavorable circumstances.
“They don’t know of our existence yet.”
“Yeah… … ah!”
Since he is clearly a tactician, he was able to grasp the gist of this operation with just a few short conversations.
“Indeed, there will be no information about the professor in their information, so the raid will be effective.”
“That’s right.”
Then suddenly, he looked at his son.
“But how about our Jessie… … .”
did you follow me here
You’ll want to ask that.
“father!”
Instead of Lucas, Jesse came out.
Shaking off the dust, he stood in front of his father.
“So, Jesse. Why are you here?”
Forlan’s voice begins to tremble gradually.
All the damage of this war was to be suffered only by himself.
Jessie hoped to grow up protected in a safe place away from this place, and to become stronger even if she made a mistake.
But, now.
His son, who should grow up safely, is right in front of him.
“sorry.”
The son didn’t say anything, he said sorry.
Those words darkened Forlan’s vision.
“Uh, why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”
If I had informed you right away, I would have stopped it.
I would never have set foot here.
“Because I knew you wouldn’t allow it. I thought asking for forgiveness would be a better option. Father said.”
Is it easier to forgive than to allow?
I remember saying that to Jessie when I was a kid.
By now, I was about to rip off his own mouth for saying such nonsense.
why is this kid
The son who should lead the revival of the family.
“It’s a choice for my growth. So as not to disappoint my father… … .”
“Don’t say anything. I won’t allow it. I won’t even forgive you. go in I’m in your room!”
“I can’t.”
“What?”
Forlan’s eyebrows narrowed at the son’s rebellious attitude.
“I am an adult too. I am not old enough to need your permission to make my decisions.”
“Hey, this guy!”
Although Jessie had his own ways, he was a child who never rebelled against him.
But now, seeing his son ignoring his father’s opinions and trying to do his own thing, he was overcome with strange emotions.
The son, who always seemed to be in the product, is now about to push his arms away.
It’s sad and sad, but at the same time… … was confronted
“ha ha ha… … .”
Forlan sighed and stepped back.
He wanted to deny the reality, and his son, who had grown up, was savage.
“father… … .”
Jessie looked at Forlan like that.
The closer I got from here, the more my regrets grew.
Lucas approached Forlan like that.
“I know you are concerned.”
“Yeah, yes. professor. Please let the professor dry it. He is still too young to go to war. Professor, please… … .”
Grasping Lucas’ sleeve, Forlan chimed in.
Lucas shook his head.
Instead, he placed his hand on top of Forlan’s.
“As Jesse said, he is an adult. I can’t stop that will. Instead, I will protect the Count from happening.”
It was said to reassure Forlan, but it was like an oath to himself.
There was a promise from Lucas, but it should have been stopped.
However, Forlan himself was convinced by the indescribable dignity of Lucas’ words.
Lucas turned around and told the remaining students.
“You also know that you didn’t tell the house. I’m not going to tell you right now. Just don’t let your parents worry about you. certainly. Do you understand?”
“yes!”
It was a kind of encouragement to be sure to survive.
It was a small sincerity that Lucas could show.
* * *
“You are here, Professor.”
I went to the temporary command post, the lord’s office, and listened to Irelin.
I met her again after a long time, and she looked very different from the old Irelin.
The weak and weak figure was nowhere to be found, and the charisma of a country’s monarch was felt.
“Long time no see, Your Majesty.”
no longer a princess
“Yeah, you said you had a plan to break this war situation.”
There was no time to share after a long absence, and that was the gist of it.
It’s also what I was hoping for.
“I will go out as soon as I leave this place.”
“no way… … Are you taking those kids with you?”
“yes.”
“But, they are still academy undergraduates… … .”
“It’s preposterous, but I can proudly say that my disciples are far better than the apprentice knights here.”
The apprentice knights around him, as well as the other knights, seemed uncomfortable with the somewhat provocative remarks, but what to do?
I just said what I saw in ‘Shinan’.
Even Jessie and Deyan are better than some of the official knights.
It’s not that their level is low.
This means that my students are at a high level.
“But I can’t keep up with the maturity of a veteran like them.”
not empty words
difference in experience.
The difference between someone who has cut a person and someone who hasn’t is actually quite large.
Because the sense of cutting people is different from that of a beast.
It was originally planned to train them as ‘great demon dragons’, so there was no training on humans except for Torres and Deyan.
“That is why I am. So, I have a favor for you.”
“What is your request?”
“Let my disciples go with me. It’s good to have someone’s lead. However, please allow me to fully control them.”
“It is absurd to have a professor under someone else’s control. Okay. Professor’s request, let’s do it. But it is a waste.”
There was deep regret in her eyes.
“When I heard that the professor had come here, I thought he was the right person for the commander-in-chief.”
“Sir Julich would be much better than me.”
This is also not empty.
When it comes to war, and to command an army, Sir Julich is better than me.
Also, it’s much better for my enemies not to know that I’m here.
The moment she found out that I was there, Elysee would give up.
In this civil war, along with Irelin ascending to the throne of Ermel, Lit also has to rise above the monarch of the dreamers, so it is not good for her to save herself.
“He said that he would fight directly at the front line, let alone Commander-in-Chief Julich.”
“Sir Julich.”
Should I see it as an old man’s blood?
not.
If the character of Julich I drew was-
‘You want to deal with Laonis III yourself.’
And he, too, will die together.
Originally, in ＜Ah.Cheon.Man>, the executioner of Laonis was Julich, and after the execution, he took his own life.
“like that… … You seem to have decided.”
“Do you notice that the professor knew that Sir Julich would do that?”
Indeed, it is worth the eye.
“Since Sir Julich is well known in the world of knights. It was a car that I wondered if he would want to fight on the front lines.”
But living here, too, has increased my spontaneity.
“The conversation will end here. We’ll go right away. Before that, I would like to tell you about a plan I had in mind.”
“Operation?”
“yes. Me and my students are going to pierce the road from here to the rest of the world.”
“Where are you going?”
“Deltine.”
“yes? There… … .”
Irelin was speechless for a moment.
One of the cities of Ermel, Delta.
Because it is the opposite of the capital from here.
But there’s something Irelin doesn’t know.
What lurks in the Delta.
* * *
There are three things you need to secure through this civil war.
The throne of Irelin, the throne of Lit, and-
A relic of an ancient civilization sleeping in Ermel.
Like the ‘Shinan’ obtained from Münes, this Ermel also contains the legacy of an ancient civilization.
In ＜A.Chun.Man>, Irelin becomes the owner of the relic and takes the throne, but without that, Irelin can become a great monarch.
Also, the throne will be hers.
But I am not.
In addition to dealing with the Seven Deadly Sins, the legacy is absolutely necessary to protect anything from the ‘real’ destruction that follows.
“It is the opposite of the capital city of Bert.”
That fact is better known to Ermel’s princess, Irelin, who is now crowned.
She looks like she doesn’t understand.
Not to Bert, the center of the enemies, but to the more distant Delta.
“Then you wouldn’t be able to give a proper blow to the current king, would you?”
“There is a saying that there is a gender identity book.”
“yes?”
It’s a language from a different world for her to understand.
Instead of meaning, the intention is explained.
“It means I want to be the bait.”
“What is that?”
“While I head to the Delta, the news of me will spread to my enemies.”
“Yes.”
“They are afraid of me. hate at the same time So when I hear the sound of me appearing, the enemy’s head is turned backwards, and the power is directed toward the delta.”
“Take advantage of that… … .”
“That’s right.”
And I take the artifact hidden in the delta.
“indeed!”
Elysee began to formulate a detailed plan based on my plan.
From here on, the story is a bit far from me.
But with this, everything was going according to plan.
