270. Eradication (2)
#270
“I think you should step forward.”
The Shadow Prince said. The shadow cast on his pale face was impressive. He was a man who mostly took care of things on his own, but he seemed to be going through quite a bit of trouble. Ronan, who was lying down, raised his upper body.
“What, has a cult leader come out?”
“no. Two archbishops appeared. We couldn’t even break through the shield. “The damage to our troops is enormous.”
The Shadow Prince briefly explained the situation. It is said that the Allied forces lost three of the bases they had occupied due to the sudden appearance of two archbishops in the depths of the mountain range. Ronan frowned.
“You’ve been quiet lately, but you’ve finally come out. But instead of drinking it, I applied it and hit it, but it still doesn’t work?”
“okay. “Even when I hit it with a sword coated with the solution, there wasn’t even a single scratch.”
The Shadow Duke clicked his tongue. Although she didn’t show it, I could see that her pride was very hurt. In fact, like Orsay, he was a man who lived his whole life without knowing that he was defeated. Ronan said.
“I guess I should go. Anyway, it feels a bit strange to hear that it’s a undiluted solution. “I’m not even juice.”
“It’s similar for us. Anyway, what’s more serious is that they are buying time. “There are definitely secret passages throughout the mountain range, but if things continue this way, I might miss quite a few of them.”
The Archduke was worried about the possibility of Nebula Clazier escaping. It was well deserved. Even if the leaves and stems are burned, the roots are still alive. Ronan got up.
“Call me a little faster.”
Phew! He pulled out the barrel that was stuck in his arm. Didi Khan said that if he pulled it out carelessly, he would be in big trouble, but he was so good at healing wounds quickly that it didn’t really matter. The blood that had been flowing for a moment soon stopped.
“thanks.”
“Let’s go. “It was already a bit sloppy, but it turned out well.”
Ronan followed the Shadow Prince out of the tent. A cold north wind blew in. The Allied barracks and the war-torn Felgrand Mountains spread out before my eyes.
The Felgrand Mountains, which were being attacked simultaneously with the eastern Pancia Fortress, were one of the largest branches of the church. It would be no exaggeration to say that the entire rugged mountain range, covered with rocks and conifers, was Nebula Clage’s fortress.
“You damn bastards.”
Ronan cursed. She had been wasting more than 15,000 days here. In the darkness of the night, all kinds of shouts, screams, and the sounds of metal clashing were mixed together.
“But I’m glad it’s not too far north.”
After saying that, Ronan put on his coat. Perhaps because it was in the north, the temperature was low even though it was early summer. Every time I spoke or breathed, white breath came out and crumbled.
I still felt like my balls were shrinking when I thought about Heiran and the Sea of Ghosts. It is a sea of ghosts. Ronan suddenly realized that the savior’s life was not long and his lips twitched.
‘Is there about half a year left now?’
In order to completely save the world and learn the secret of birth, the savior must be saved. And in order to save the savior, the blood of cult leader Abel was needed.
I was exchanging letters with Elsia irregularly, but there was no sign of any improvement in my symptoms.
The good news was that, with this momentum, it seemed like it would soon reach the religious leader. Blacksmiths who collaborated with vampires figured out how to use Ronan’s blood in addition to applying it to weapons, and were actually achieving great results. The Shadow Prince said.
“Then I will leave first.”
“ok. “Don’t die, just wait.”
Ronan waved his hand. The Shadow Duke’s body was enveloped in darkness and disappeared. Then, shall we go? When he turned his head, he saw Sita sitting quietly looking down at her.
“Pyeol.”
“It’s hard to look at that. “Who said it got this big?”
Ronan laughed. Although her size had grown enormously, her bright eyes were still cute.
Sita looked at Ronan’s eyes and lowered her head. Ronan, who was riding on her long neck, said while stroking her fluffy fur.
“let’s go. friend.”
“Bwait!”
Sita spread her four wings and flew up. Despite its enormous size, Theita’s takeoff was as quiet as a ghost. The soldiers in the barracks cheered all at once.
“Oh, you’re going directly!”
“Okay, give me a punch and come back!”
To them, Ronan was already something more than a hero. Regardless of his rank or status, there was no one who did not know Ronan’s name.
Ronan responded to the request by lightly raising his hand. Hahahaha! Sita reached the edge of the mountain range with just one flap of her wings and roared loudly.
“Bwahaaaaa-!”
At the same time, the blood scattered throughout the mountain range began to gather on Sita. The sight of countless drops of blood rising into the sky looked like rain falling backwards.
It was the secret to explosive growth. The war resulted in a lot of blood, and it was all Sita’s. Sita’s black, fluffy feathers did not get wet and stayed shiny even after absorbing all the blood. After completing the absorption, Sita smiled with satisfaction.
“Bwahaha!”
“Eat in moderation, man. “What if it gets bigger here?”
Ronan lightly pinched Sita’s neck. Of course, I didn’t mean it. It’s already too late for her to be raised in her own family, so what if she grows up?
Ronan and Sita arrived at their destination in less than five minutes. From high up in the sky, the center of the mountain range, which was not visible on the horizon, was clearly visible.
The Shadow Duke was waiting in the air with his men. Dozens of vampires wearing black combat uniforms were centered around the archduke. He greeted Ronan.
“Are you here?”
“yes. “It looks pretty sturdy.”
Ronan looked down at his feet and whistled. He really didn’t call me for nothing. The center of the mountain range was covered by a star’s protection that was unlike anything she had ever seen before.
The hemispherical curtain was fluttering in an ambiguous color between purple and red. It looked thick to the naked eye and seemed impossible to destroy using normal methods. Ronan asked.
“Do you have more troops to rush in?”
“Commanders 1, 4, and 12 and their subordinate units are in charge of the siege. Entry will probably be possible as soon as the shield is destroyed. “He managed to deploy his troops without being caught by their detection net.”
“aha. “Adeshan is gone.”
Ronan nodded. The 4th Field Commander referred to Adeshan. Despite her young age, she showed remarkable skills in mock battles and was appointed commander of the Allied forces shortly after the mop-up operation began.
Although the troops in charge were small, the unit she led boasted the highest victory rate in the Allied Forces. It was a history that had not yet happened here, but there was no way the talent that had made her a great general could go nowhere. Ronan, who somehow felt better about her, turned to the Archduke and said,
“Then let’s go right away. “Follow me.”
“Wait a minute, you’re being so reckless…!”
“I’ll try my best to get rid of one, so please catch the other one.”
fault! Suddenly, Ronan jumped off Sita’s back. Sita’s body bowed downward with her wings folded as if waiting.
“wait!”
The vampires, who had been dumbfounded for a moment, also began to descend after him. Ronan placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and looked down at the rapidly approaching mountain range.
The sound of the wind howling in my ears was harsh. Inside the murky station field, a man and a woman wearing unusually colorful robes caught my eye.
“You fucking bastards.”
Suddenly the heat soared. If it weren’t for them, I would have been enjoying the Fairy Night Festival at Phileon by now. Giggle foolishly with your friends or look at the stars with Adeshan dressed in festive attire.
Ronan gritted his teeth. I couldn’t even guess how many people would have been deprived of their daily happiness. He reached the front of the tent and pulled on the hilt of the sword. Sgak! As La Mancha drew a cheerful arc, the star’s protection shattered.
“what···!”
The Shadow Duke’s eyes widened. Archbishop Alicia, sensing something unusual, hurriedly raised his head. The protection of the stars that I had trained for my entire life was collapsing. Black shadows were pouring over my head.
“Wait a minute, Kailash!”
She was about to shout something. Sigh! Ronan’s sword, which descended in a red tail, cut off Archbishop Kailash, who was next to him, from the top of his head to his groin.
****
“···Of course it can’t be compared to the original. “Like you said, I should have called you a long time ago.”
The Shadow Prince was amazed. Even the snobbish vampires couldn’t help but be impressed. A section that had been stagnant for four days was cleared in just two hours. Ronan spat out harshly.
“I told you so. “Call me early.”
He was covered in blood and was kicking the corpse lying at his feet. It was a guy named Kailash who was cut in half at the start of the war. The infamous archbishop, who killed more than a thousand Allied troops, was reduced to a teaching aid that no matter how fast and long he was, he was useless at surprise attacks.
The allied forces rushed in as soon as the star’s protection was broken. Archbishop Alicia fought desperately, but was unable to withstand the onslaught of Ronan and the Shadow Prince and retreated deep into the mountains. The long siege of Felgrand was also approaching its end.
“hey. “It was pretty good.”
“Balzac.”
At that time, a familiar voice was heard from behind. Ronan turned his head to her and shrugged his eyebrows. Balzac, the younger brother of the Shadow Prince, was approaching, cackling.
“I’m upset, but I have no choice but to admit it. You are stronger than me now. “I can’t believe he’s the kid he used to be.”
“That’s an honor.”
“How about we stop drawing blood and just go to the front lines? “I think things will be easier that way.”
“If these bastards weren’t scattered all over the continent, they would have done that a long time ago.”
Ronan shook his head. As Balzac said, Ronan was like a spear that could pierce any shield. Of course, if he fought at the front, he would have achieved good results, but the location of the headquarter where the religious leader resided was unclear to adopt such a strategy.
‘We have to uproot it.’
The fact that there were still many branches remaining made it impossible to use that strategy. The Allied forces that did not receive dilution using Ronan’s blood were unable to penetrate the star’s protection. Balzac, who was thinking about something, snapped his fingers.
“Oh, by the way, didn’t you say you have a sister? “How about leaving it to her to draw her blood?”
“what?”
Ronan’s eyebrows twitched for a moment. Adeshan, who was watching the conversation between the two nearby, took a deep breath. Somehow I had an ominous feeling.
“it’s okay. “The body is small, so not much blood will come out.”
“Why don’t you just give it a try instead? If it were your blood relatives, it would have the same effect. “The greater the amount of blood available, the more favorable the situation becomes.”
“Enough about my sister. “I told you this to Navardose before the fight.”
Ronan took a deep breath and opened his mouth. Although the veins on my forehead were bulging, I was still able to maintain my composure. Balzac lost his appetite at the stubborn refusal.
“is it. “It’s a shame.”
“I am enough on my own. “If you’re all rested, let’s catch up.”
“Of course. But I’m really sad. “I was wondering what your sister’s blood would taste like, hahaha!”
Suddenly, Balzac burst into laughter. Something broke in Ronan’s mind. Reason knew that she was joking, but her hand was already gripping the hilt of the sword.
“hey.”
“Yes? “Why do you do that?”
In an instant, Ronan stopped. As soon as Balzac turned around, his sword was drawn. It was the moment when La Mancha, who flew in at a speed beyond recognition, was about to cut off Balzac’s tongue. Suddenly, someone was next to Ronan and hugged him.
“Ro, Ronan!”
“···Adeshan?”
Ronan’s arm stopped. Adeshan was looking at him, smiling awkwardly.
Balzac’s eyes widened. The sword, clearly sheathed, was shining brightly in front of his face.
“You guy, what is this…”
He couldn’t understand why the sword was pointed at him. It was the car that Balzac was about to criticize in an angry voice. The shadow prince, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
“Shut up. Balzac.”
“older brother?”
“Because the 4th Field Commander saved your life. Ronan, I apologize on behalf of my brother for his rudeness.”
The Archduke suddenly walked in front of Ronan and bowed his head. Ronan brushed his bangs once and nodded.
“Don’t do that. “A person as big as a grand duke.”
“Would you accept my apology?”
“of course. “I was so excited too.”
“Thank you.”
The Shadow Prince smiled. He took Balzac, who was looking like he was going to die of injustice, and headed to the corner. Ronan took another deep breath and looked back at Adeshan.
“···thank you. “This guy’s personality needs to be killed as well.”
“No, that could be true. “A letter arrived and I came to deliver it.”
“Is it a letter?”
“huh. “Would you like to take a look at the system?”
Adeshan smiled brightly and took out an envelope from his arms. Ronan’s eyes widened as he received her letter.
“…is this a letter from your sister?”
