Chapter 319: Alliance (11)
“…Pirates?”
Peid Neil asked back with a frown Only after seeing that did Marino Pelburn realise that so was off
“It seems that wethat, Manus Fon Persion nodded his head Then, he stole a glance at Roan Lancephil before slowly talking about their fight with the Dark Regienerals at the Eviance district
His story lasted for a fairly long tiround forces…?”
When it ended, Marino shook his head with a short idom was…”
Now, it was his turn to explain about the Dark Regido to hidoe shi+ps with both the body and the flag painted deep black Although it was impossible to properly identify the exact number, the number of sailors were estimated to be over 20,000
“The appearances and clothes of the pirates are the sairound forces and the navy were of the same nature
In addition,
“The captains leading each shi+p all had strange appearances as well”
Just like the ones referred to as the Dark Generals of the ground forces, the Dark Captains also appeared like a strange, grotesque mix of humans and monsters Besides, their abilities ell above normal human standards
“Seriously, where in the world did those guys suddenly pop out fro towards Roan Since the one that knew about the Dark Regiht that perhaps he ht have some concrete information which they weren’t aware of
Naturally, the eyes of others gathered at Roan who then nodded with a faint smile
“I’ll tell you about the iments”
Finally, it was time for him to unravel the truth
Gulp
Manus and others gulped in nervousness as their eyes reflected their inner tension
“The one that uys…”
In that instant, they frowned
‘Made?’
They were doubtful of Roan’s choice of word but for now, they decided to stay quiet and wait for his next words Soon, Roan heaved out a short sigh and continued
“Is the Mad Dragon, Lunark”
Kung!
As soon as those words left his lips, a great turmoil shrouded the crowd
“S, sorry? W, who?”
Even Manus as known for staying calm stuttered his words In fact, it was only Manus who could even spare the room for a question Marino, Peid and Aerea Britz widened their eyes without letting out a single word They were extremely startled at the sudden appearance of an unexpected existence
“The Black Dragon – the Mad Dragon Lunark was the one that created the Dark Generals and the Dark Regiain calmly revealed the identity of the one behind it all
“Huup!
Marino, Peid and Aerea ere stiffened like statues took deep breaths in and settled themselves down With their reddened faces, they faced Roan
“Y, you’re saying the Mad Dragon has appeared again?”
“Didn’t the d, dragons all disappear?”
“Why was the Mad Dragon the only one that…”
They shook their heads in disbelief but Roan added more words with a bitter smile
“That’s not the end There’s a person that’s trying to destroy the Middle World together with Lunark”
It was a continuation of shock
“A person?”
“You’re saying soon?”
“A crazy bastard…!”
Their reactions got more and athered and replied with a clear voice
“He is the Archbishop of the Tallian Church, Latio”
Kung!
It was a shock reater than when they heard about Lunark Now, even Manus couldn’t find any words to say as silence filled the rooh
“First off, I’ll talk about everything I found out”
Gulp
The listeners nodded in tension and forced themselves out of their turmoil as they couldn’t stay shocked for the rest of their lives Slowly, Roan talked about the truths and facts he discovered with a calentle voice
He shared Latio’s past, Lunark’s greed, the Gates of the Boundary, the reason for the disappearance of the dragons as well as the strange altars and the grueso that didn’t shock the gathered people
“T, then, the reason why the citizens are disappearing is…?”
Manus carefully asked with a stiff expression and Roan nodded with a similarly stiff expression
“Yes They were sacrificed for Latio’s cruel ritual”
“Ah…”
A low mutter escaped No-one could easily find the next words but soon,
“Indeed, just like what His Majesty Lancephil has said…”
Manus carefully opened his lips
“Now is not the ti that, they all nodded their heads Then, Aerea quickly poured words out with an urgent expression
“F, first off, shouldn’t we tell the C, Church about it?”
Her sharp voice echoed within the drawing room but Roan only returned a bitter smile and so did Manus and Marino When Aerea tilted her head in confusion, Peid opened his mouth as a low voice seeped out
“The Church…”
His voice reflected helplessness
“Probably knows about it already”
As soon as he said that,
“Sorry?!”
Aerea immediately asked back with surprise
“They know about it? But then, ould they gather the crusaders against the A her words, Roan, Manus, Peid and Marino all looked at each other before replying at the sa it seriously”
Like before, their voices had signs of helplessness
“What?”
When Aerea scoith a completely clueless expression, Roan continued the explanations as a representative
“Because of the pact between the Gods and the dragons, the dragons cannot harm the priests That is why the Church is not afraid of the Mad Dragon Lunark”
