History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 385

385fury. honest determination (3)

[The strength of the Hell Legion that will invade Frontera Territory is... … Vanguard, 500 Hell Knights..]

‘what?’

Lloyd paused..

For a moment, I almost exhaled underwater without realizing it..

It was because I heard something so absurd..

‘500 Hell Knights? There are 500 people like Sir Georexius.?’

It was Sir Georexius who was stronger than the Sword Master..

If you want to properly stop Sir Georexius,?

At least three Sword Masters would be needed..

The current king, who is considered to have surpassed the average sword master,?

One Belt One Road would put them at a disadvantage..

That was the power of Hell Knight..

‘There will be 500 of them coming.?’

That number is even.

The number was greater than the number of sword masters recorded in the entire history of the Laurasia continent.!

‘…….’

Creepy. I got goosebumps.

But it didn't end there.

[500 Hell Knights will form a vanguard and invade Frontera Territory. Additionally, 1,500 high-level Satans and 5,000 mid-low-level Satans will make up the main force. Finally…….]

‘There's more?’

[A lich bearing the spirit body of the King of Hell will lead the legion..]

‘A spirit body??’

Lloyd swallowed dryly and asked..

Baoyu’s answer came back immediately..

[The spiritual body is a pure source containing the spirit of the King of Hell, and the earthly body that accepts it is an incarnation of the King of Hell's main body, that is, called an Avatar..]

‘……So, the King of Hell will inhabit the body of the Lich and directly command the legions of Hell.?’

[That's right.]

“…….”

Lloyd kept his mouth shut..

I could feel it as soon as I heard it..

‘King of Hell, you got it right this time..’

So, you're going to come down directly using the lich as your avatar..

I guess he's going to personally command an army and destroy this side..

But Lloyd felt a doubt there..

‘But is that possible? I heard that the King of Hell does not directly exercise his power on anyone. Isn’t it a being that punishes souls only with the list and regulations of hell??’

[you're right.]

‘But he said he would come down in person. No, not directly, but he commands the army using the lich as his avatar. Isn’t that against the rules??’

[no.]

‘how?’

[Rupelan, the warlock who became a lich, because he asked the Hell King to do so..]

‘no way… … Ask him to descend as an incarnation using himself as a vessel.?’

[That's right. Rupelan only wanted your destruction and the downfall of Frontera territory. He was so burning with revenge that he was ready to sacrifice his soul to Avatar for that purpose..]

‘…….’

[Rupelan made a request to the King of Hell, and the King of Hell accepted the request. Thanks to this, the King of Hell gained the authority to exercise his power on earth without breaking any of the laws of Hell..]

‘I guess so. Because the King of Hell does not take the first step. This is because the being on earth accepts the request from the King of Hell and moves. The result is the same, but the motivation and cause of action are different. It would be possible to not disobey the laws of hell at all..’

Lloyd seemed to finally understand..

Thinking about it from the King of Hell’s perspective, it was clear..

‘That guy was trying to kill me somehow. But because I don’t die anymore. Because I barely survive every time. I was really getting impatient..’

But in the meantime?

An unexpected being made an unexpected request..

I will sacrifice my soul to come down as an incarnation..

Kill Lloyd Frontera.

‘From the King of Hell's perspective, he must have thought it was a windfall. Because I had a chance to go out in a car that was frustrating..’

I would have accepted it quickly.

‘Besides, that request probably wasn't a common opportunity. Because the King of Hell is no ordinary being. Because the vessel that can accept the spiritual body of such a being must not be an ordinary being..’

However, the Rupelan who made the request was Rich..

He was a powerful undead archmage who was said to be comparable to the Hell Knight, no, even better..

Perhaps he would be the most suitable vessel to receive the spirit body of the King of Hell..

‘Even if I were the King of Hell, I couldn’t tolerate such a request. He's a lich that only appears once every thousand years. Because that guy just happened to make a request saying he wanted to kill me. What better opportunity could there be than that?.’

To the King of Hell?

It must have been considered a chance that would never happen again..

Just like a person who has seen the lottery winning numbers with the ability to predict the future runs to the lottery store in a hurry..

As soon as he heard Rich Rupelan's request, he would have shouted acceptance..

‘shit.’

After thinking and reasoning, all the angles came out..

Lloyd asked Book..

‘So what about other powers? Is there more??’

[doesn't exist. That's all.]

“…….”

That was Bo-ok's final answer..

There was silence as if all answers to this question were over..

In that silence, Lloyd clenched his fists..

slowly rose to the surface.

“Whoa.”

I exhaled the breath I had been holding..

I slowly swam towards land, wading through the rolling waves..

Meanwhile, I organized my thoughts..

‘I understand now. Why was this ending so weird?.’

Suddenly, I remembered the ending spoiler I had seen last night..

It was the worst ending I've ever seen..

It was the most terrible, cruel, and terrible thing..

So honestly, on the one hand, I was puzzled and curious..

‘According to timing, the legions of hell will invade in 90 days. Then I would have had enough time to prepare about 2 billion liters of holy water. Still, it looked like a miserable defeat..’

I wondered how much power it took to make that happen..

But now, after hearing Bo-ok’s answer,?

‘I deserved to be trampled on enough..’

thousands of satans.

Five Hundred Hell Knights.

The King of Hell himself descended there using the Lich's body as his avatar..

‘Shit. how do you beat that.’

I felt at a loss the whole time I was swimming..

It was such an overwhelming power difference..

2 billion liters of holy water?

It was to the point where I felt pathetic for being so confident in just preparing for that..

‘Can I win?.’

I felt skeptical..

‘Or should I just commit suicide?.’

Then wouldn't that invasion stop?.

If we do that, won't we be able to save the people who will be caught up in that invasion?.

So, if only you die and disappear.

This will stop the damn fate restoration phenomenon..

Then won’t everyone be safe?.

Suddenly a thought occurred to me.

But Lloyd quickly shook his head..

‘no. That won't work.’

Suicide is not allowed.

that's not the solution.

Rather, it will only lead to even worse results..

‘of course. That's what Rupelan asked the King of Hell when he sacrificed his soul. Please come down as an avatar to your body as a lich. So, please kill Lloyd Frontera and trample and annihilate the Frontera territory... … Called.’

It definitely was..

That's what Bo-ok told me..

So now the game has become bigger..

‘The invasion won't stop just because I die. I've seen before in Iron Blood Knight the conditions when a mythical being like the King of Hell or an archangel descends as an incarnation. That's a kind of promise and contract. It is said that a divine being who descends as an incarnation has an obligation to fulfill the terms of the contract made when accepting the request for descent..’

If you don't keep it?

It was said that the body would disappear..

In other words, if we summarize this situation,?

‘In addition to killing me, you have taken on the duty of reducing the Prontera territory to ashes and exterminating everyone here, King of Hell..’

If you fail to do that, the King of Hell will disappear..

So the King of Hell will sharpen his sword and try to overwhelmingly sweep this side away..

‘So, we mobilized 500 Hell Knights. You're bringing in almost the entire core force of the whole hell, that's it..’

Thinking about it gives me goosebumps again.

I got goosebumps.

A divine being like the King of Hell.

Risking my everything.

Are you trying to kill me?.

Are you trying to kill Young Ji-min?.

A feeling of overwhelming overwhelmingness was so overwhelming that it took my breath away..

So Lloyd?

I stopped laughing while swimming towards land..

“ha ha ha.”

Because I'm afraid?

I feel like I'm going crazy from the despair?

It wasn't.

In fact it was the opposite.

Rather, there was a light of hope..

‘If you look at this, it's a cassock bread situation.?’

In other words, is this side going to die and perish now?.

Or will the King of Hell be destroyed?.

A situation has come where one of two things will come to a conclusion..

When I think about it, it really was like that..

Beyond the electric vehicles, which seem daunting and overwhelming at first glance,.

It was seen that the King of Hell also risked everything..

The risk he was taking was clearly visible..

‘If you fail to wipe out both me and the territory, the King of Hell will not be able to keep the avatar contract, and in return, he will be destroyed..’

In front of the contract, he is the king of hell and nothing else..

Even if you are a mythical being, if you can't keep your promise, your life will end in just a moment..

When my thoughts reached there.

I felt like giving it a try..

‘you can do it. You just need to prepare.’

I clenched my fists.

As the old saying goes, if you get tired, you will win every battle..

We know the invasion is in 90 days..

We also know the size of the invasion force in detail..

So just prepare accordingly..

It may be difficult to match it to the point where you might vomit, but.

‘I'll do it a hundred times, a thousand times, even if I have to throw up..’

That was the way he lived..

He was the one who stubbornly persevered..

As a result, we finally got here.

But I didn't want to give up and sit here..

For that to happen, the life I've endured through evil until now was too much of a waste..

‘one more time.’

Let's hold on.

Let's win.

So I made up my mind and made the calculation. I was worried. I was absorbed.

That state continued even after coming ashore..

When Haviel, who had been waiting for us, held out a towel.

“Lloyd? That confession probably isn't true. You truly care and love Young Ji-min and all the workers..”

……Even when Javiel joked as if he couldn't believe it,.

Lloyd didn't react at all..

no answer was given.

Without even receiving a towel.

Just passing by Javiel.

Look towards the ground, sometimes towards the distant sky.

By focusing on numerous calculations, predictions, and plans,.

Repeating more things with my mouth.

only walked.

Passing through the outskirts of the territory.

past the apartment complex.

After passing through several villages,.

Until we finally get back to the manor house..

I was still focused on my thoughts and plans and only walked..

Water dripping from my hair and clothes that are not even dry..

I entered the mansion's office..

“Are you Lloyd? Finish… … uh?”

Count Frontera was about to greet us..

he paused.

The expression changed.

“What is this? What happened this morning??”

He was probably surprised to see what looked like a wet mouse over here..

The Count hurriedly got up..

He took out a handkerchief and approached me..

I quickly wiped my hair and my face..

I kept looking up and down with my eyes..

“Are you okay? What happened? If this continues, I'm going to catch a cold. First, sit down here..”

I hurriedly led this person and made him sit on a chair..

I draped the blanket over my shoulders..

Looks very surprised.

It looked bustling.

Maybe that's why.

Without realizing it, a smile formed on my face..

“I'm fine.”

“It's okay. It looks like such a wet mouse. Did you fall into a river somewhere??”

“That's not it.”

“if?”

“You may have seen it earlier. These are the words that the jewel of truth floated in the sky..”

“……ah.”

Count Frontera paused..

Soon he asked.

“So you jumped into the water to use the Jewel of Truth??”

“yes.”

“But why don’t you wipe away the moisture?.”

“I have something to think about and something I really need to say..”

“To this father? something to say?”

“yes.”

I slowly shook my head..

But I didn't stop thinking.

The King of Hell who will bring an overwhelming power that will make you far away..

How to face his legions of hell and not be defeated.

Preparation needed to implement the method.

Help to ask for to prepare.

Resources and procedures to take care of throughout the entire process.

I remembered them.

Thought.

organized.

summarized.

In a word, tuk.

handed it to the count.

“I think I need you to write me a few letters and give me permission to do one thing..”

“Correspondence? allow? Did I say that??”

“yes.”

“Let's hear it somewhere. Why have you been like this since morning?.”

The count's expression also became serious..

he knew.

A child sitting in front of you.

This kid with the face of a son is definitely not the kind of guy who would say something like this easily..

It's always been like this.

Thanks for following that opinion.

He, his wife, and Yeongji survived..

So this time too, I will respect and follow this child’s opinion..

If there is anything I can do to help, I will help in any way possible..

With determination, the Count waited for Lloyd's words..

and finally.

Lloyd's mouth opened..

“First, please write a few pages requesting military support. The destinations are the Magentano Royal Family and the Eastern Sultanate, the County of Cremo and the County of Namaran, the Orc Tribe Alliance, the Elf Tribe Alliance, the Mermaid Kingdom in the Arctic Ocean, the Centaur Tribe in the Great Plains, etc..”

“……what?”

The Count's eyes widened..

However, Lloyd's subsequent remarks.

It put him in even greater shock..

“One additional thing. Please allow us to burst the dam blocking Lake Kapua in the Eastern Mountains..”
