Chapter 135 Hatch (1) (1/2)
The Summer Queen, who was being blocked by Cheonghwado. Red Dragon, who was trying to chase after Sword God. Bow God, who was trying to escape,
In the middle of that mess.
The Foreign Legion felt like they were in real danger.
The Summer Queen’s unfocused rage was hurting everyone. A dragon that wasn’t in its right mind was fear inducing.
Except for a few mercenaries who wanted to stay until the very end to get the reward, most of them had already left the battlefield.
Among them were Phante and Edora.

“Hyungnim, is it really ok to do this?”
Phante scratched his face looking at the battlefield far away.

He came because Yeon-woo said they should leave.
But he felt uncomfortable just leaving like this.
Although he liked to run around without caring about the consequences, he knew that a contract was important.
And in these cases, the ‘binding proclamation’ always followed.
Binding proclamation. It was a magic contract that made the one who didn’t follow through with the conditions suffer greatly.
Fortunately, Yeon-woo wasn’t tied to the binding proclamation. The information he had brought them was incredible, and also because they felt uncomfortable with the fact that Phante and Edora were the Martial King’s children.
So with that, there was only a light binding between them. However, this could be a problem if the other party chose to press charges.
But Yeon-woo shook his head as if saying they shouldn’t worry.
“No. We won’t have to worry that far. Red Dragon will be grateful that you guys left it at this.”
Phante’s eyes became bigger.
“What’s that mean?”

“The One-horned tribe didn’t appear at this attack.”
“Hm?”
Phante tilted his head like he still didn’t understand.
But Yeon-woo no longer answered, like he was annoyed, and silently climbed down the hill.
Edora sighed and gave a further explanation.
“During this attack. Why do you think our tribe didn’t show up?”
“Because the portal suddenly appea…..Mm? But now that I think about it, they should’ve been contacted by now?”
Phante tilted his head like something was strange.
As far as he knew, his tribe liked situations like this.
They went crazy for the chance to make a chaotic area even more chaotic.

Especially the Martial King.
Also, even though there was quite a distance between Cheonghwado’s base and Kuram, if a teleport scroll was used, they could request for support right away.
But the One-horned tribe didn’t show up even until the end. Even during this revolution occurring in Cheonghwado.
“I’m not sure, but Father probably thinks there’s no point in the alliance and canceled it. And Red Dragon could’ve sent one of their people to the tribe too.”
Phante’s eyebrow twitched.
“To not interfere?”
“Not sure about the specifics. But they probably wouldn’t have said it that directly. Because Red Dragon can’t take out tribe too lightly. Wouldn’t they have said something like ‘Please change your judgement according to how the situation pans out,’ or something like that? Since once Father’s pride is touched, it ends up in ruins.”
“Ah. I guess that could’ve happened.”
Even after Red Dragon controlled all of Kuram, as much as they didn’t touch the tribe, that was how much they cared about them.
The lofty Red Dragon.

Since they were taking careful steps with the tribe. They could have influenced the outcome of this battle.
No, Edora was absolutely sure they did.
“So Red Dragon will be glad that we left on our own accord. Since they don’t have to care anymore. No, to be exact, since they don’t have to care about the tribe.”
The war with Cheonghwado was now close to being over. Since they would need to take some time to recuperat, they probably wanted to avoid the tribe.
And Bahal, who had been in charge of them, died.
Edora kept those words at the tip of her tongue but didn’t speak them.
Also.
It was clear to her eyes. That the panicked Summer Queen’s Dragon Heart was critically sparkling, like it was going to break any second.
“Ugh, politics. It’s so so hard. Why is it so complicated? They should all just live simply. Whew.”
Phante rubbed the side of his eyes like he was getting a migraine.

Edora grinned looking at her brother.
“You don’t have to make it so complicated. Since in the end, politics is just made up of one thing. If you become king. You only have to follow that.”
“Mm? What’s that?”
Phante curiously looked at his little sister.
Edora firmly nodded her head. Her eyes were following Yeon-woo, who was already far along down the hill.
“Power.”
Even her voice carried strength.
“You can do anything if you have power. Anything.”
***
Yeon-woo and the siblings didn’t stray from the path and headed straight back to Kuram. The One-horned tribe was already getting ready to leave.

“Oh. You’re back, son? Daughter?”
The Martial King carelessly raised his hand looking at Phante and Edora. The other tribe members greeted them and began to move busily again.
Yeon-woo, who was blankly standing behind them, asked with his head tilted.
“You’re not accepting my greeting?”
The Martial King crossed his arms and snorted.
“Nope. Why would I need greetings from a guy that lives however he wants? Did you come back after making a good mess?”
Yeon-woo indifferently nodded his head.
“Yes. Thanks to you.”
The Martial King looked Yeon-woo up and down with an unsatisfied gaze. He met Yeon-woo’s eyes and smirked.
“Hm? Did you stuff yourself with something good again? How come you always return so differently than when you left? Your physique seems to have changed too. You even smell different.”

Phante had a face that looked as if it was asking ‘again?’ and Edora nodded her head seeing Yeon-woo with her Insight.
Yeon-woo inwardly clicked his tongue.
He had hid it as well as he could this time as well. He covered his dragon scales, and tried to tone down his draconic attribute.
But the Martial King’s perceptive gaze didn’t miss anything, like always.
“I’ll explain to you later.”
“Sure, whatever. But if you have something good, you should share, and not hog it all to yourself.”
