31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 560)
There was no one who contradicted Ttukgi’s claim. No, he had no one who could suggest a more solid strategy than him..
Then I have no choice but to accept his plan..
The leadership disappeared from Daejeon after the talks broke down, except for a few specific people..
The only thing left in Daejeon was Kang Seol, the three kings of Khan..
“…Should I tell you?”
“Will the people of the empire accept it??”
“It is the only possibility of victory. There are few options left. If I delay, even this will disappear..”
“But... That's no reason they should accept death.….”
“that's a choice.”
“…….”
“Deciding what the criminal cannot decide. that's a monarch.”
If we respect the lives and freedoms of individuals, we must ensure that they know all the facts and allow them to make their own choices..
However, this could intensify into another division ahead of an important war, and eventually even the original plan would not be implemented properly..
On the contrary, if the monarch keeps silent about the coming disaster, he will be able to make a new breakthrough in the war according to his original plan..
However, the monarch will take responsibility for all of this. Criticism rather than praise will weigh on him, and in the end he will suffocate under the weight of sin..
“I will stay.”
“…snow red.”
“Honga. Hasty judgment will only lead to mistakes.”
“If someone had to take responsibility for this choice, it wouldn't matter if it was any of us. My brother's will will be my will.”
“…….”
“…….”
They have the blood of dragons flowing through them..
You will be courageous in the face of hardships and stronger in times of crisis..
“The statement that it doesn't matter who any of us are is something that can be thought of in other ways as well..”
“…Did you think so too??”
Taeyul and Shinyo looked at each other..
“I will stay in Cannes too.”
“Me too.”
“…that!”
“We are the ones who rule. Also, they are just a nuisance on the battlefield. Even if we're on the edge of a knife, it can't make it stronger.”
Taeyul closed his eyes..
“One, it will have meaning if we become a place where the blade will one day return..”
“It would mean that the Khans did not give up on their people..”
Kang Seol listened quietly to this story and then burst out laughing at the question Seol Hong asked..
“Perhaps the Grand Duke is disappointed with our answer??”
eat…
“Even before coming here, Ttuktuni predicted that all three kings would remain in Khan..”
“…….”
Because it's Khan.
Those who will die bearing their sins have been decided.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
The snowfall made its way through the hazy fog..
I clearly remember falling asleep, but if I'm not mistaken, this was a dream..
“You came.”
“…Janet.”
The dream world realized by Madness Merchant Janet.
She seemed to be visiting alone today.
When I looked into the snow and released its energy, it felt like the energy was blocked..
“I plan to whisper today too..”
“…What is the reason for this?.”
“Because I need my own decision….”
“Rather, those eyes…?”
Underneath her demon mask, there was an eyepatch over one eye..
Janet smiled and waved her hand..
“Are you paying close attention to my changes? a little impressed.”
“I'm usually the type to ask questions when a good eye disappears..”
“You have a caring personality. anyway! Today I came to say goodbye.”
“Goodbye?”
“Maybe we'll never see each other again.”
“…….”
she wasn't wrong.
Snowfall may be driven into the final battle..
“From now on, I won't visit here. So don't look for it.”
“okay.”
Kang Seol said while resting her chin on one hand and continuing her thoughts..
“Do I have madness??”
“Madness creeps in whenever there's a story..”
“You can take them all.”
“really?”
“These are things I don't need anymore.”
Madness was the attention that humans crave, someone's gaze, and power..
“Ahaha… Are you saying that other people's eyes can no longer shake you??”
“You can think whatever you feel comfortable with. just….”
Snowfall said bluntly.
“The things I don't need may be different for you..”
“…gift?”
“The meaning is also convenient.”
“It's difficult... There is no such thing as a gift for a merchant. It's all bribery.?”
“…….”
Janet inadvertently spoke to Kang Seol without her knowledge..
“You know, I can ask you a question.?”
“You're going to do it anyway, right?.”
“that's right!”
She tried to answer the judge's question with a slight twist..
“If, to the entire universe, you are worthless than dust, or if the universe controls you... Mr... I'll hit you. This kind of question doesn't suit me..”
“…It looked difficult.”
“Haha! Yes? Now, let's take the madness. don't resist.”
Seueuugh…
Janet bent her hand sideways and brought her palm to Snow Seol's lips..
Kang Seol widened her eyes in confusion, but relaxed because she had been told not to resist earlier..
Slurp…
At that moment, Janet's demon mask disappeared. It feels like time has stopped.
Snowfall, seeing Janet's true face for the first time, listened to what she said..
“If you were me, you might come to a different conclusion..”
“…….”
“I always thought it was strange. From the moment I first saw you. Someday I will find out the reason for this strangeness and this melancholy. Soon, it will be time.”
Seueuugh…
Janet removing her palm.
Kang Seol expressed his doubts..
“Janet?”
“All things that exist in this universe are fighting. Reasons are established from birth. Dominate, be dominated, and take it for granted. Resistance is not complete. We call it fate. That's right….”
Janet smiled through her tears..
“…Isn’t this a boring universe??”
Kang Seol remembered what she said..
- Maybe we'll never see each other again.
Why I might never see you again.
A vague thought occurred to me that that might have nothing to do with Kang Seol’s own situation..
Janet says goodbye.
she is leaving.
“Let's meet again. please….”
And, I picture a reunion that will never come..
* * *
Cheeeeeeeee…
Cheolkeong…
Cheolkeong…
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
People preparing for a war that may be humanity's last fight..
Materials and troops came and went from Castrang every day. It's a bit strange, but people regained their vitality as they prepared for war..
Cheeeeee…
Castrang constantly transported those who would become the allies' allies to Tymolon and the Gorduan lodestone outpost connected there..
Reconnaissance was carried out by strong Allied forces so that Montra would not notice. I waited for the right moment, collecting various information such as terrain and troop deployment status..
In fact, the people of Khan's empire did not know that most of the Allied forces had left Khan's territory..
There are still some troops left to protect Khan, but this will not be enough to stop the entire army of death coming..
Pushed and pushed, we'll all fall to the edge of the cliff and die..
A wave that no opponent can fight against.
It's a terrible army..
People didn't stop laughing and talking. War is imminent, a problem only the rulers know.
But strangely enough, not only the people of the empire but also the people of Tymolon were vaguely feeling that fact with their own skin..
That's why I laughed and cried even more.
This is obviously strange.
Why does life burn with regret when it reaches its end?.
If I had burned earlier, I wouldn't have even regretted it..
If I had realized this earlier, something would have changed.
Before leaving Tymolon, Snowfall saw a strange sight..
Wow-!
Wow!-!
It was a scene where a dwarf was working on an ogre's huge helmet. And the ogre, the owner of the helmet, was sitting with his butt on the floor and his feet outstretched and watching..
Wow!…
The dwarf blurted out..
“It will be soon.”
“Goes. i am the last.”
It was quite common to see an ogre and a dwarf talking here in Tymolon, but their conversation was somehow special..
“ha ha ha! It's a good thing.”
“why?”
“Ogres like to fight. You said it's boring here because there's no fighting..”
“…Did you do that??”
“Yes, I did. Did you forget it already?.”
“I tend to forget things.”
“…It's done. Give it a try.”
Seueuugh…
Ogre with a huge helmet on his head.
The ogre said something other than that it was a perfect fit or that it needed adjustment..
“I don't want to go.”
“…what?”
“I don't want to go.”
“…….”
“I don't want to go to fight.”
“…What are you saying?”
“Fighting is no fun. I like being boring.”
Words that are hard to believe are coming from the mouth of an ogre..
“I want to stay home. I'm scared of dying.”
As natural warriors, they should have no fear, but what has arisen within them?.
“I'm scared, I'm afraid I won't be able to come home.”
“…….”
“It was good, home.”
The dwarf laughed and cried.
“Hahahaha! It's good.”
“Is it good??”
“Okay, from now on, think of it as fighting to come home..”
“That's okay?”
“Everyone is like that..”
Having a place to return to means becoming weak. But sometimes that weakness led to the being becoming stronger..
“Don't die, boy..”
“do not die. dwarf.”
“Ugh… … this… go!”
A dwarf who gets angry for no reason and turns around.
The last Castrang heading to Gorduan carried the dwarf and the ogre that greeted him..
The dagger heads for Gorduan's magnetite..
“Whoa whoa….”
Snowfall has arrived at Gorduan's magnetite..
Preparations for war are nearing their end..
a week after that.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo…
An abnormal phenomenon occurred.
“What happened….”
Whioooooooooooo…
Bisu looked up at the sky.
A black pillar that must have risen from Montra began to block out the light in the sky..
Midday began to disappear.
Frannan said.
“…Looks like it's about to start.”
“I guess the enemies didn't stay still either. Although I expected it to some extent... It's an absurd power..”
Whioooooooooooo…
the light disappeared.
A night that will continue like this begins.
[Faction: Montra brings polar night.]
[While the polar night lasts, the energy of the dead becomes stronger..]
[While the polar night is in effect, restrictions on Montra's necropolis will be lifted..]
……
“Big, big trouble.!”
A wizard running towards Smarty in a huff..
“The barrier... The urgent news that the wall has collapsed….”
Khan's Wall has fallen.
If it weren't for the magic reactor that was installed in advance, I wouldn't have received the news so quickly..
khan's crisis.
For some, it is a sign of disaster, but for others, it is a sign to move forward..
“March forward, move all troops to the target point..”
the speed is very slow.
The beast led by ogres and giant soldiers left the outpost and began moving to the border of Montra's territory..
The movement continued for over half a day, and they were immersed in darkness and could only see with minimal light..
Finally, the rainwater arrived at the designated location..
half day.
Khan's screams seemed to reach this place..
Who is the one who is left with painful choices? Where did this first choice originate?.
In the distance, in the distance, I could see the huge building of Montra..
It is the place where the Sun Emperor and Jin reside..
The black pillar continues from there..
Smart waved his hand to signal..
That moment.
Grumbling…
Grumbling…
Grumbling…
In an instant, numerous lights appeared..
Between those lights, the red-stained eyes of ogres were visible..
Whoa whoa…
Whoa whoa…
hot blood.
Who is the vanguard?.
Whoa whoa…
Whoa whoa…
Ogre wearing a bizarre helmet.
The tyrant of Trium, who caused Ajanic to fall once..
He is the general of Tymolon..
“Trample everything in sight!”
At Smart's frantic shout, the ogres who awakened their wild nature began to run forward..
“Wow!”
[Force: Montra and Force: All-out war begins.]
[Faction: Veil is currently affiliated with Faction: Allied Forces.]
[The victorious force absorbs all the era power of the defeated force..]
[The ongoing adventure continues into the Long March: The Great War..]
[Kings do not experience long marches.]
[The Long March will be changed to an epic..]
[Epic: Leads to the Overturned Sun.]
……
[The powerful helper ‘Flame-Eat Fat Man’ appears in this adventure..]
[A powerful helper, 'Flame-Eating Fat Man', will join your ally in this adventure..]
[The powerful helper ‘Crooked Libra Frannan’ appears in this adventure..]
[A powerful helper, ‘Crooked Libra Frannan’, joins your ally in this adventure..]
……
The message of the appearance of a helper continued endlessly..
