Chapter 247 C Between B and D
In the Cassiubia e, the earth that had turned red froreen by sunset Their enemies’ sporadic attacks had suddenly stopped, and after a lull, the Cassiubia League confir away Thattheir lands, and thewith celebrations for the Demon Empire’s and the Sernitas’ retreat They had beaten not only one, but two forled to deal with separately They were overjoyed
However, Chi-Hyun couldn’t celebrate the news When Bael fought in the frontlines and the Sernitas a the Deerous It was thanks to the information that Chi-Woo unearthed that they were able to safely defend against the attacks Their enemies didn’t back away even when they failed to accoon, and the reason for that was obvious: their purpose was to tie down Chi-Hyun and the Cassiubia League’s main forces With that alone, their eneoals And the fact that they were retreating now meant…
—Seems like the Demon Empire has finished their preparations to invade Shalyh
A voice rang It didn’t cohts Chi-Hyun glanced below hion’s body
—Thank you I am alive thanks to you
“…”
—If it wasn’t for you, I would’ve died
The final dragon thanked Chi-Hyun politely As a creature that had survived thousands of years, she had the sense to know the relationshi+ps she should build
—I finally have so tion looked in the sa in and continued
—So, I a festival tonight How about it?
Chi-Hyun snorted at the final dragon’s softly-spoken suggestion The dragon knew that Chi-Hyun wasn’t si that she had lost her ather troops and send reinforcements now?
But that would be the truly nonsensical thing to do They didn’t know if and when the two eneue’s forces were already exhausted Furthermore, it was too late to send the troops now; even if they sent elite ht not be able to arrive at their destination on time
—Didn’t you leave the work to theon was telling Chi-Hyun to hold onto that belief until the end Chi-Hyun sighed deeply Usually, he would’ve agreed with the final dragon, but right now, there was soend he was Chi-Hyun didn’t listen to the conversation any longer, and as if he thought standing around like this was a waste of tiround and flew into the air The final dragon didn’t stop him and appeared as if she had expected this to happen She siet further and further away
‘Chi-Woo…’ Chi-Hyun bit his lips He told Chi-Woo that he could try to fight if he saw a future where he saved Shalyh, but there was no way that Shalyh’s fall could be prevented That was the judg and still had Even if they ed to thwart that future soe later—in a much fiercer and powerful form so that there really was no way to prevent it then That was how a definite future worked Thus, Chi-Hyun hoped that Chi-Woo would just give up on Shalyh
And that hy Chi-Hyun had entrusted Ismile with authority over this matter Chi-Hyun knew Ismile was a formidable hero ouldn’t be easily swayed by only the title and appearance of the youngest son of the Choi family, who had never shown himself before Unlike Noel, he was the type to respond nonchalantly, ‘Oh is that so? What does that have to do with this ht Ismile would’ve led the heroes to evacuate Shalyh by now, yet there was still no news of that happening That see
‘What in the world are you thinking?’
Shaaaa! Chi-Hyun’s figure fiercely pierced through the air
Zelit felt nervous after receiving Chi-Woo’s call Though he had borrowed thousands of royals froht it would be understandable for Chi-Woo to be upset with him Of course, Zelit didn’t waste any of the ally while even foregoing his food expenses sometimes He was able to establish the fra how involved the plan was, there were many expenses to make, and Zelit wondered if he would have to ask forthat they needed to talk
Thus, Zelit readied his heart, knowing that he would have to relay to Chi-Woo disappointing news But when he actuallyco to invade Shalyh Chi-Woo’s explanation was ht, but Zelit was able to understand the situation with his high intelligence
“Then…since that traitoreach person individually and explaining the situation”
“Yes, and I’ people I can trust”
“It’s a plan where secrecy is priority I thank you for trusting erous the more people know about this secret It would put all of our lives at risk”
“The only people I told are you and Mr Jin-Cheon I’ quiet too They are probably e-scale expedition or requests Then, when that day comes…”
“Hm, if that’s the case, I understand” Zelit nodded “It …but if Isreed to this plan, he must’ve seen hope in it,” Zelit said Chi-Woo wondered why Zelit hts
“Hm…why do you specifically mention him?” Ismile was a person who Chi-Woo couldn’t understand at all, and he was curious what Zelit thought of him
“The Invincible Is lost a single fight It’d be no exaggeration to say it’s all thanks to that rouped with the Chois and the Ho Lactea” Zelit continued, “Of course anyone a the twelve families is special…but how should I say this? Apoline, Yeriel, and Eeneration” They were the newcohters “That’s how they differ Isend If you consider how great the legend is, youIsmile is to be coaped open He thought Ismile was special, but not to this level
“Since it’s a plan that a hero with a 100 success rate is taking part in, he ood chance of success,” Zelit said and looked to Chi-Woo “Anyways, thank you for telling me I will also make row trelanced in another direction He felt a person’s strong gaze on hihtly ajar door It was Ru Hiana, who had an expectant look on her face
“…What is Ru Hiana doing there?” Zelit asked, and Chi-Woo also stared at the door,eyes with Ru Hiana
“Senior! Senior!” Ru Hiana asked with her eyes sparkling “Did you tell him? Or can I?”
“…” Chi-Woo was speechless Ru Hiana had been acting like this ever since he revealed his identity Chi-Woo felt as if he had become the most popular animal at a zoo
“…I already told him”
Ru Hiana shrieked and turned to Zelit But soon, she was forcefully dragged away “Ru Hiana He is in the uest”
“No! Wait!” Ru Hiana shouted
Chi-Woo felt a bit conflicted seeing this Ru A all ih Ru Amuh promised to keep Ru Hiana’s mouth sealed, it see her current state
Zelit looked confused because he didn’t realize Ru Hiana was talking about Chi-Woo’s identity rather than the plan He coughed and asked, “Do you have anything more to say?”
Chi-Woo shook his head, and Zelit asked again, “Really?”
“Rather than me, it looks like you are the one who has more to say”
Zelit squeezed his eyes shut and said, “I wanted to ask if I could borrow some more money”
“Money?”
“Yes There are a lot of expenses to pay…”
