Chapter 441 - Founding Preparations 1 (2/2)

Although unrevealed, they were trying to be vigilant and brave.

However, so were the other side.

It was because Marquis Rakan had won and defeated the Milton Kingdom in a full out battle.

In addition, the Grenada Navy, known to be proud of its navy force, had been defeated in their own sea.

Which meant the current power of the Rakan couldn’t be compared with the Volga Republic.

In any case, Luke passed through the knights and faced President Vladimir.

“Vladimir Rekov. Nice to meet you, the descendant of a prominent warrior.”

“I am Luke de Rakan. Thank you for the grand welcome.”

The two men shook their hands with smiles on their faces.

The words of the President included criticism of Rakan’s descendant for hanging out with warlocks, and Luke’s words were for guests who came a long way.

“For today, we can sit outside because of the nice sunny weather. If you don’t want it, we can move inside.”

“No, there is no such thing that I need. People only stay healthy when they are exposed to the sun.”

The place prepared by Vladimir was in the middle of a garden, surrounded by men of his task force.

It was like sitting on thorns because of the energy the kings were releasing, however, Luke just sat down without any distraction.

‘He surely is an annoying one. There was a reason why last night’s dream was so weird.’

Vladimir had the ability to foresee in his dreams, and he dreamed of a silver Gigant last night.

The dreams which he usually had were so ambiguous or misty, but the day before those ones were different.

The battle with the silver Gigant was so clear.

The Gigant, which held the sword of light, had darkness on the other side, but the Gigant didn’t falter nor retreat, even after getting hit by thunderbolts falling from the gray clouds.

Rather, he tore the clouds and flew into the sky wearing brilliant light which turned into the Gigant having the sun as its crown.

‘Did the Gigant represent the Marquis who won Milton…?’

For a moment, the man stared at Luke.

“You know the past work. We faced a lot of trouble because of us. But I decided to skip over all that.”

“You do realize that I wasn’t the first one to act, right?”

The troops which invaded the Baroque Empire and the Torlot Fort and elves who kidnapped Reina were all members of the Volga Republic.

And the President continued without falling for Luke’s words.

“But this time’s act is hard to get over.”

“Are you saying that you won’t give up on the Dark Moon?” Asked Luke.

“Yes. They are our comrades who have been with us since our revolution. And recently, with the bloody tax of the people of Volga, the Hero class Gigant got developed. But should we let a wrong person enjoy the fruits of our hard work?”

At the words of the President, Luke laughed.

If the man was an unfamiliar one to the situation, one would assume the President’s words as reasonable.

However, the truth was hidden from the words.

“Sire, do you know how the Orion had been developed?” Asked Luke.

“That was because of years and years of Dark Moon’s har…”

“Orion was made with the reference of the blueprints I provided. The blueprints of Atlas, the new Hero class Gigant of the Veritas Magic Tower.”

At the words of Luke, it wasn’t just Vladimir but also Marquis Tyron who was shocked.

They had never heard of such a story.

“That is ridiculous! It hasn’t been long since the Veritas Magic Tower has been destroyed, so how did you get a blueprint of the hero class?”

Even if the blueprint was leaked, it was likely for the Baroque Imperial to snatch it than let someone else have it.

“It was obtained long before the destruction of Veritas. Of course, I can’t tell you which way I chose for it to happen.”

“I can’t believe such words just because you say it.”

“Even if you don’t believe it, you will have to. Once you see the real Orion.”

According to Johas, the Volga Republic had captured the damaged Atlas during the last war.

Naturally, they would have studied it by tearing it back and forth.

In other words, if they see the Orion, they would realize that it was a Gigant similar to the Atlas’s design.

At Luke’s words, Vladimir’s eyes shone.

“Show Orion? So you are saying that you are going to hand over the new hero class Gigant to us?”

“If you pay for it, there is no reason for us not to sell it. It is clear that part of the development was from the tax of the Volga. However…”

Luke, who stopped talking midway, made his intentions clear with a strong tone while staring at the President.

“The Dark Moon will never be handed over.”
