Chapter 130

130Flower Lionheart(3)

"We, the Northern Army, declare our intention to secede from the Union at this time..

Grand Duke Carina Dragonia.

The legitimate daughter of Leon Dragonia Lionheart, the Lionheart King of the time, and the person who inherited the Grand Duke title that he gave up upon the birth of his successor after he ascended the throne as the Lionheart King..

From birth, he was educated as the successor to the Grand Duke of Dragonia, which the Lionheart King concurrently holds, and upon his coming-of-age ceremony, he inherited the title and ruled the Grand Duchy for 40 years..

60Se's age isn't that old in Lionheart, but she's not that young either..

Thanks to the dragon's blood covered by his ancestors, this Dragonian Grand Duke, who has no regrets at the level of a Holy Grail Knight, possesses a level of skill and experience that can never be judged by his appearance..

For what reason did she declare that she would leave the Last Alliance of Humanity?.

Leon said without making eye contact with Karina, looking into the hazy sky where the steam of holy water was rising..

"It is not allowed. The Northern Army is a major axis of the Union. If you are absent, the weakening of our military is inevitable.."

"Just because they are added doesn't mean anything.."

"His Excellency the Grand Duke……."

Agnak, a great saint, gave her a sad look, but Karina only spoke the reality with blunt emotions..

"Your Majesty, the royal capital has fallen and the entire continent is already in ruins. Our army numbers less than 200,000, and even including the serf soldiers, it does not amount to 300,000. On the other hand, what about the enemy forces??"

10 million.

Even that is a conservative number..

The number of demons pouring out of demon gates opened all over the world is unfathomable..

"Your Majesty, Warnite, representative of the pantheon and commander of all knights. Is there really any chance of winning this war??"

"……."

Leon didn't answer. No, he didn't. His position was not light enough to discuss irresponsible spirituality..

'Your Majesty will win.'

Hari wanted to say something there. This man in front of me, Leon Dragonia Lionheart, fights the devil alone until the end and wins..

But Hari couldn't mention it because he knew it was a vain victory after everyone had died..

"So what should I do?."

"The Grand Duchy was the second place to be burned after the Empire. The 30,000 soldiers of the Northern Army lost their hometown and their families. Now we are the only ones left in the North.."

Karina said the Grand Duke of Dragonia.

"In that case, even if we can't kill all the demons, we must avenge our family's enemies. We will punish the demons who dare to nest in the Grand Duchy and insult the dead.."

It was a grudge that everyone had. Is there anyone who has not lost family or friends in this war?.

"Do you blame me?."

And Leon was the one responsible for my family's death..

"Do you think it was wrong for me to give priority to defeating the main demonic army over the Grand Duke of Dragonia?."

Will you annihilate the main force of the demons to buy a year's time, or will you save the Grand Duke, who is on the verge of fall?.

Leon wants the entire kingdom... No, I chose a time for all of humanity..

"No, Your Majesty. Your Majesty should have done so. His Majesty's duty was to the whole kingdom before that of the Archduke, and he should have chosen accordingly.."

"If not, then how……."

"This is a very personal revenge. This is the proof."

It was then. Karina ripped off the shoulder straps of her uniform, exposing her bare skin. There is an infinitely dark sacred power in that exposed bare skin..

"Karina…!"

Leon suddenly stood up. His wide eyes glare at my daughter. Nevertheless, the Archduke is only at odds with his father..

"Me and the entire Northern Army have concluded a contract with the God of Vengeance. As of this time, I am a Holy Grail Knight serving Ventasis of darkness and vengeance, and I am the Archduke of Dragonia, commanding 30,000 Avengers.."

Your Majesty, my duty is no longer survival..

Leon clenched his fists and trembled at his daughter's harsh declaration..

"Do as you wish, Prince Dragonia! I don't even want to look at it! Disappear from before my eyes.!"

"……."

Grand Duke Karina closed her eyes for a while and then left the room with a light silent bow..

* * * *

"It'll be okay?"

Isabel asked. She seems worried about my nephew and brother-in-law..

"It's already too late. He made a pact with the God of Vengeance, so the kid only has one fate now.."

Leon expressed his despair while washing his face..

"Did Jim make the wrong choice?."

"well. Your Majesty has never made a wrong choice.."

"Is it you, no one else, who says that??"

"Why did you kidnap and marry my younger sister, who was a perfectly fine priest of purity…? Since it was a two-way agreement, let’s say so.."

Isabelle giggled as she massaged Leon’s shoulder. It was a shameless act, but the king's execution was acceptable to this extent..

"However, it would be better to treat the Northern Army's departure as an official royal order from His Majesty. Because leaving without permission will lead to the breakdown of the union.."

"The Northern Army announces that it will subdue the beast god's cultists and the archduke's demons. What is Lord Antok doing??"

"I heard you're working on your majesty's new armor. It was broken in the fight against the Lord of Chaos.."

"Tell him to forge a sword for the child before the northern army sets out. It's okay to make Jim's armor later.."

While the conversation continued, Agnak silently washed Leon's body and purified the stains. Hari also radiated the power of her flame while observing Leon's notice..

The demon archduke's curse, which had stuck to Leon's body, did not end until he stayed up all night..

* * * *

Yappy knew that his body would be visible wherever he went. That's why she put down her body in the tent assigned to Jaehyuk and Suho and walked around the pantheon with her small body..

While Beatrice left to complete her main mission, the task given to Yapi was Lionheart's casting skills of this era..

-There is an urgent need to secure technology for manufacturing sacred objects. Reconnaissance mode ON.

The drone is noticeable, but Yappy's own minimalist body could spy on people without being noticed..

Yapi infiltrated a huge blacksmith facility in the center of the city based on information scanned upon entering the pantheon..

-Many, Many, Many!

A mechanical leg climbs the roof and enters the ceiling of the blacksmith shop. The place was full of blacksmiths dressed lightly..

"How many star seasons are left??"

"Out of stock. Need to summon a new star……."

"It's not a good time. Did the Great Saint Lady Agnyak say anything else??"

In the Kingdom of Lionheart, blacksmiths are run by priests who believe in iron and the blacksmith's vision..

Since blacksmiths also held the position of priest, their tone was polite and not harsh compared to other blacksmiths..

-Kikluk.

In addition, the facilities are very clean and systematic for a blacksmith shop from the medieval period. On one side of the facility, there was a separator to separate and disassemble the iron and priests to bless the iron. Rather than having one blacksmith work from start to finish, the work was divided..

But that is only knowledge that comes from human technology and wisdom. Real Baegi is the central core casting facility..

-Video record. Start of motion analysis and backup download.

Yapi saw one blacksmith priest among them..

2A man who is over a meter tall and pounds a hammer the size of a human body. His hammering is flawless and flawless, even for Yappy, who is a machine..

Considering that only his workbench is alone and there are no people around, he might be classified as a master craftsman and a master craftsman here as well.?

"There's a rat."

At the same time as he said those words, the blacksmith priest stretched out his hand into the air. Toward exactly where Yapi is.

-Kikluk!?

At that moment, Yapi held on tightly to the point where the ceiling was torn apart by the force generated by her, but was helplessly dragged away..

Yapi, who was caught by a force that even Yapi, the Holy Grail Knight of iron and blacksmithing, could not resist, made eye contact with the middle-aged man in front of her..

"Who are you??"

-Kikluk!

Yapi tried to escape from the man's pot-lid-sized grip, but couldn't move..

-Leave it, organic matter.…!

Yappy's mechanical arm stretched out a steel wire. The wire instantly turns into a whip and attacks the man. The man is puzzled by the sacred power contained therein..

"Hoo…."

But at that moment, the wires that had been swung for threat all fell to the floor. As if under great pressure.

-Kikluk!

The weight of the fuselage was abnormally increased. Yappy tried to overcome it, but the output is not enough at the current size..

"I thought it was a rat, but this... You were a cute priest.."

The man withdrew the pressure on Yappy. Then she quickly escaped to the ceiling and entered a battle stance..

"Stop it. What is the reason for hostility between priests who worship the same divinity?."

Instead, the man waved his hand to appease Yapi..

"My name is Antok, the Grail Knight of Iron and Blacksmithing.."

-Kikluk?

Yapi had heard that name. A close friend from the past whom Leon sometimes spoke of..

"Do you understand Mine Guardian Antok??"

* * * *

The group, who had been assigned a tent under the guidance of Gillingham, the Knight of the Holy Grail of Thunder, gathered in one place late at night..

"I can't see Sir Yappy.?"

"The queen hasn't returned either."

Jaehyuk and Soyeon arrived first and cleaned up their accommodation. Yapi's large body is waiting in the middle of the tent, making it more cramped than expected..

"Kids, I haven't seen my sister.?"

This was when Su-ho found Ha-ri, who was not there. The tent entrance opens and a familiar girl with long hair enters..

"Sorry, I'm late.?"

"older sister!"

Hari brought a basket full of ingredients..

"They gave me various things for my hard work at the temple.."

"Have you been to the temple??

"huh. I also met His Majesty there.."

"Your Majesty?"

Their eyes widen when they hear that they met Leon. Hari added.

"To be exact, His Majesty of this gate. He wasn't the Majesty we knew.."

"also… This world was His Majesty Leon's gate.."

The four people shared the information they had collected..

"It's been a while since the royal capital was occupied. It is said that most of the kingdom has been taken over by demons and this is almost the only city.."

"I heard about the final battle from Ventasis. Isn’t that battle the main theme of this gate??"

"I happened to hear what His Majesty was talking about, and it was said that the northern army was leaving this place.."

The overall topic is about the situation of the war..

The army of demons that invaded Leon's world and the Lionheart Kingdom army that formed the last allied force of mankind..

From the allied forces fighting back to the demons gradually expanding their power..

""…….""

They know the outcome of this fight. Leon appears as a survivor of the Black Gate, and although all the demons are eventually destroyed, Leon's world is ultimately destroyed..

So what are the closing conditions for this gate? From the quest for this gate to the things to figure out, everything was extremely difficult..

"excuse me……."

At that time, Suho raised his hand..

"Are there any people connected to the gods of the pantheon? I can use the holy method, but Ariana's reaction is a bit weak. Should I say I can't hear it well, like there's noise??"

"ah……."

A fact I had inadvertently forgotten. I didn't even think about it because it was used so naturally..

"Now that I think about it, ah… ! Ahhh!"

Hari recalled the voice he heard during Leon's consecration ceremony. The voice of Fethos asks who he is. He left the temple and didn't hear anything, so he forgot..

"Is that so? Why can't I connect now?──"

"Wait a minute, it's not so quiet around here.?"

Everyone sensed the sense of discomfort in Cheon So-yeon’s words. In the thousands of tents erected to accommodate the overflowing population, noisy voices could be heard from all directions..

But now, it is very quiet outside the tent where Hari and his group are. like──

-thud!

At that moment, the entire tent was uprooted. It was a huge tree man who pulled out the tent. And the soldiers everywhere are watching Hari and his men..

"……."

"……."

While Hari and his companions were rolling their eyes, unable to understand what was going on, a knight wearing sleek copper-colored armor took the lead in front of them..

"This work is about Loxley, the Holy Grail Knight who serves Tartar, the god of the sun and judgment, and the military judge of the Kingdom of Lionheart! Sinners, be quiet and receive Ora.!"

"ancient?"

"Sin, sinner? what did we do──"

"Shut up, you sinners! This work did not allow you to open your mouths.!"

Lord Loxley drew his sword and aimed it. His voice resonates everywhere.

"Attack! If you resist, I can cut off at least one limb.!"

If there is one piece of wisdom they have gained in common over the years they spent working together with Leon, it is that in times like this, they should just shut up and surrender..

"Oh, I threw away my weapon.!"

"surrender! Hangbooook!!"

Because I've seen too many demons and orcs with their skulls crushed or limbs blown off when they rebelled..
