271. Extermination (3)
#271
“Did your sister send it?”
Ronan opened the envelope. Soon after reading the letter, he smirked. Adeshan let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the anger had completely disappeared from his face.
“thank god. You seem to be feeling a little better.”
“It’s a letter from my older sister, but I can’t read it frowning. Thanks for telling .”
Ronan’s eyes were dripping with love. It was an expression he rarely showed except when he was with himself. Adeshan, who was watching this, smiled involuntarily.
“You really like Irill.”
“sure. Why, as Adeshan knows, I have no parents?”
For a mont, Adeshan was speechless. I didn’t know how to react to these words. Even though Ronan himself was talking casually. When Adeshan was silent, he opened his mouth.
“When you think about it, it’s a pretty damn good seller. My mother died when I was young and I have never seen her face properly, and my father is asleep at the edge of the North with the secrets of the world. That’s why I don’t know much about maternal love or parental love.”
“Yeah…”
“But I never felt dissatisfied or lacking about it. Because I had an older sister. Even though I behaved anly as a kid, it wasn’t because I didn’t receive much love, it was because my natural temperant was dirty.”
Ronan giggled. Adeshan also raised an eyebrow. After confirming that the protection of the stars had disappeared, the second team was entering the mountain path.
“My older sister always raised with love and sincerity. I felt it from the mont I circled Nimburton on the back of a swaddle. He was too much for a bastard like .”
“That’s until you say that.”
“no. Really.”
Ronan shook his head. He told a few anecdotes from his childhood with Irill.
“Once, I used a group because I wanted to see Orsay, the magic dragon from the fairy tale. It was okay to say that we could et in a dream, but my sister didn’t. What do you think he would have done?”
“Um…well? Did you draw a picture for ?”
“It was similar, but a little different. My sister made a really convincing Orsay makeup while cutting down on her sleep throughout the month. And he surprised by wearing it and walking around.”
Recalling the mory of that ti, Ronan smiled. Even if you think about it by adult standards, it was a makeup with great care. The four wings were made from real raven feathers. Adeshan covered his mouth in admiration.
“wow.”
“And I went into the room without pretending to be surprised. At that ti, my interest in Orsay had already cooled. Even after that, I never paid attention to that makeup.”
“…wow.”
Adeshan admired once again. A little different feeling than before. Seeing her expression, Ronan smiled bitterly.
‘He really was a bastard.’
The more he looked back, the more he realized that he was a Holo child with no answer. I couldn’t understand why I was bothering my sister who changed poop diapers.
He had never done anything pretty, but Iril always gave him infinite love for free. Until right before he ran out of the house without saying a word.
I’m so glad you’re back. Ronan, who muttered in his mouth, continued.
“It’s a little wordy. I guess he just wanted to show off his favorite tee.”
“huh. It feels good enough.”
“Thank you for saying that. Anyway, that’s all. I want to make her as happy as she is.”
Ronan concluded. In fact, Iril’s happiness was one of the biggest driving forces behind his decision to save the world. Tragedy was out of place for my lovely sister.
“Oh, can I go to Jedo for a few hours tomorrow?”
“huh? That’s fine, of course, but why?”
“I didn’t know, but I guess tomorrow was my birthday. My sister said let’s spend it together for the first ti in a while.”
Ronan showed the letter from Iril. On the parchnt, there were letters that wriggled like bugs.
At the bottom of the specialist’s ssage to return ho because tomorrow is his birthday, there was a postscript that he had already prepared a gift. It’s been a long ti since I forgot about birthdays, so I completely forgot about it. Adeshan nodded.
“That should go. After all, if you occupy Felgrand, you will have a break. I’ll tell you well.”
“I’ll be back soon. Is there anything wrong with you, senior?”
“huh? Mmm… that’s…”
Adeshan hesitated. She has recently been experiencing hallucination-like symptoms. The voice of an unknown woman that has been heard in my head ever since I went to the North with Ronan is getting louder day by day.
I wanted to talk about it, but I was worried that talking for nothing would take up a lot of ti. Even if the war situation was completely tilted, it was still in the middle of the battle. It was the car she was about to say.
“hey. I guess I’ll have to retreat.”
“Mr. Balzac?”
Suddenly, Balzac approached from behind and started talking. There were bruises all over his pale face. It seed that he was being dragged away as an education by the Grand Duke of Shadow and was beaten with excitent. Ronan asked.
“what’s the matter?”
“I just got a telegram from the East. They say that the 2nd Corps led by Jaipa captured the Pansia Fortress. The falcons are finishing up and are on their way here.”
“Aha, did you finally eat Pansia? If that’s the case, you should jump out.”
Ronan nodded. After exchanging glances with him, Adeshan hurriedly ran in the direction of his unit. Before long, her voice resonated in my head.
[Notified by the 4th Field Commander. The entire army must retreat imdiately to the outside of the Felgrand Mountains. repeat Commanders who hear this transmission lead their troops and imdiately evacuate the Felgrand Mountains.]
The transmission containing the shadow’s mana spread throughout the military camp. The Allied offensive, which was approaching its climax, stopped in an instant.
They completely changed their posture and began retreating. The allied vanguard, which was about to enter the depths of the mountains, soon turned back.
“The old bastards are leaving!”
“What happened?”
The believers who were preparing for the final battle spat out embarrassnt. It was an unknown group. Now, if only two bases were captured, the whole of Felgrand would fall into the hands of the allied forces, but I couldn’t understand how things went smoothly like that.
“What is this…”
Archbishop Alicia frowned. After being defeated by Ronan and the Grand Duke of Shadow, she was taking care of herself at the base. A subordinate approached and asked a question.
“Should I follow you?”
“…no. we are at a disadvantage Just focus on moving supplies and personnel.”
Alicia shook her head. I don’t know why, but it was really fortunate. The existence of Ronan, who unconditionally cut down the protection, was no different from a thunderbolt striking the dry sky. If there were no other Archbishops, if they fought a clumsily, they could see more blood.
“What the hell is the teacher doing…”
she murmured softly as she brooded over her defeat. Even though the organization was in a desperate crisis, the leader had not been seen for a month already. At first, I thought he was away because he had a plan for sothing, but now even that belief was shaking little by little.
“…everything according to the will of the stars.”
But I couldn’t give up here. It was that teacher, no one else. As much as he had done well so far, he was sure to lead the church to the correct answer.
mate. Alicia, who had strengthened her faith by hitting her face with her palms, stood up. It was the car she was trying to give orders to her subordinates. The believers standing guard at the eastern watchtower scread.
“Sothing is coming from north of Boo!”
“What?”
“Ah…my God, look at the sky!”
The surroundings were getting more and more noisy. Alicia looked east and raised her head. And, like everyone else, it froze. In the sky above the horizon, seven gigantic dragons were flying in formation.
“what.”
It was every unit in charge of the firepower of the allied forces. Now that the power has been weakened and the protection of the stars has disappeared, there was no ans to stop them from the side of Nebula Clash. Itargand, who was in charge of the vanguard, roared with his mouth wide open.
【Big ah ah-!!!】
The youngest son of Navar apprentices out the hottest fire of the seven even though it is small. The mountain range vibrated at the loud voice. A look of despair crept over Alicia’s face.
The scales of the seven dragons were all sparkling red reminiscent of rubies. The creatures of God, who inherited the blood of Navardoze, were known to be the most powerful of all dragons.
“Is this why you suddenly returned…!”
It seed that he knew the reason for the sudden retreat. The seven dragons spewed fire from the mont they entered the mountain range. Quaaaaaa! Red-yellow flas poured down like molten iron and began to burn strongholds that the Allies had yet to reach.
“Run away too! Go inside the citadel!”
“late…!”
“Miss Alicia! The protection of the rice stars…!”
Screams erupted from everywhere. Despite the appeals of the followers, Alicia was unable to activate the blessing of the stars. Once destroyed, it took more ti to regenerate again.
The dragons reached overhead in no ti. Itargand, who was scanning the ground, shouted in an angry voice.
【Abandon hope! Bug-like bastards!]
At the sa ti, the sky turned red. Torrents of fla rained down on Alicia’s head. The followers cast defensive magic as if in a hurry, but it was only to hold out for a few seconds. Alicia looked up at the sky and let out a mischievous laugh.
“This is too much.”
Wow! Flas covered the citadel with the sound of a thousand forests burning at the sa ti. The fire, which decomposed organic matter in the blink of an eye, penetrated the interior of the building and burned up all the troops and supplies that were evacuating.
Not even a scream remained in the place where the dragon’s fire swept through. As a cold wind from the north swept across the mountains, a pile of ashes mingled with fire erupted. The Felgrand Mountains, which were in charge of the northern pillar, fell into the hands of the allied forces.
****
It was a crisp noon. Clouds like flocks of sheep were drifting in the sky over the islands. An early sumr breeze was blowing through the half-open windows.
“It’s finally today.”
The temperature was high, but it was not hot because there was no humidity. Iril smiled as he looked out the window. It was the perfect day to celebrate the birthday of my beloved brother.
“I want to see you soon. My little brother.”
Erill murmured. I couldn’t see Ronan’s face because he’s been busy lately. Even friends like Asher and Schlieffen.
A lot of food was laid out in front of her so that her legs would break. Twenty dishes, including the potato stew in the center of the table, were all made by her herself.
It took a lot of work, but considering Ronan’s face, it wasn’t difficult at all. Besides, today was not an ordinary birthday, so it was right to give more strength than usual.
The gift she prepared today had a much deeper aning than usual. Wiping her hands on her apron, she suddenly snapped her fingers.
“I almost forgot the most important thing.”
Suddenly realizing that he hadn’t taken out his present, Iril went into his room. She stopped in front of the bed and bent her back as if she were lying face down. Deep down there, I saw a box containing blood needles.
“Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?”
Iril reached under the bed and gritted his teeth. No matter how hard I tried, the box barely touched my fingertips, but I couldn’t catch it. After struggling in that position for a while, Iril finally got up.
“Whoa… Did I put it in too deep?”
She muttered, wiping the sweat from her forehead. It seed that the entire bed had to be moved. With her sleeves rolled up, she was about to get back into action.
smart.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door from the front door.
“Yes, let’s go now!”
Illil exclaid. The light knock on the door was familiar. You said it might be a little late, but you ca rather quickly? She smiled brightly and opened the front door.
“Ronan! Co on! I’m very hungry… Huh?”
Erill’s eyes widened. There was no one outside the door. Only the strangely deserted street remained, lying face down in silence.
“…what?”
Illil tilted her head. I definitely felt the presence, but I guess I was mistaken. thud. It was the mont she turned around after closing the door without thinking.
“I heard wrong…Kyaaaaaaaa!!”
A shrill scream escaped from Iril’s mouth. The whole house was turned into a sea of blood. Dozens of n in black were lying on the floor, headless corpses.
“This… what the hell…”
The sll of blood stung his nose. Lily covered her mouth with both hands. All of the n’s clothes had the Balon Empire’s pattern drawn on them. At Ronan’s request, they were elite agents directly under the imperial family who were dispatched to escort Iril.
No one was alive. The blood gushing from the cut in the neck was unrealistically red. She was breathing heavily and was about to sit down. A man’s voice ca from the table.
“nice to et. It’s the first ti I’ve actually seen it.”
“omg…!”
Irill, who hastily turned his head, froze. Soone was sitting at the table, obviously empty. The white-haired man was deftly eating the potato stew she had made.
“You are good at cooking. It’s good that there’s no bleeding so far.”
“Oh Dad…?”
Iril dragged his horse by the tail. The man’s appearance was very similar to the father she rembered.
However, there was a difference in the fundantal feeling. I couldn’t find the gentleness of my father in the eyes of the man who resembled the sunset. Illil, barely breathing, asked.
“…no. Who are you all?”
“As expected, he was my brother’s blood relative. If so, this must be a historic encounter. You may already know, but I’ll introduce you formally.”
The man who had been eating the stew suddenly stood up. Scratching his head, he approached Illil and opened his mouth.
“My na is Abel. ”
