Ch 277
It was a person hiding in the shadow of the night wearing a black mask, with only his exposed eyes focused on her. It was Sasuke’s eyes that were immediately recognizable by Kijeong, Tale, and Biyemi. “That letter shouldn’t arrive here.”
“Are you ordering the destruction of the letter-”
“It is already too late to stop the letter going to Fibiel. And with should eliminate the one who brought the gods here. It has to be done together. Do you know what I mean?”
Chiyou quickly gave the order.
Sasuke only had his two eyes exposed, but those eyes showed how flustered he was. His eyes moved quickly from side to side.
“I can’t do it myself, but for the second order…”
“Why? Is it impossible?”
“Hat. No, Luger is currently in the middle of Fibiel’s camp. Again, I ask you to reconsider.”
To kill Luger. Even if the letter is destroyed, the war cannot be resumed if the Holy City’s messenger is present. However, who was Luger? Luger alone was difficult, but what about the people around him? It was natural for Sasuke to be flustered.
“So?”
Chiyou’s face, which had always been smiling brightly, began to harden. There’s no way she didn’t know that.
“Are you afraid of Byeolcho? Even if you go with Petyr? I’m going to tell Alexander to pretend not to know, so as long as you’re careful with this-”
“I’m not afraid of Byeolcho, nor am I afraid of Lee Jiwon.”
Sasuke closed his eyes tightly. It was shameful to have to say these words, and it was painful not to be able to follow Chiyou’s orders, but he opened his mouth with the thought that all of these were remarks for the woman he served.
“However… Ha Leeha is there.”
He was afraid that she would get angry. However, Chiyou did not say anything. Sasuke’s fear of Leeha was sincere.
He wasn’t afraid of his ability to shoot from a distance or his damage. If he was afraid of damage, he would have been more afraid of Lee Jiwon than Leeha.
It was more like an anxiety than fear.
The belief that he would interfere with his work again. Worrying that his movement would be detected.
He knew it because he had already been blocked several times. All the assassins and spies heading to Fibiel’s camp would be shot if they rush in without preparation.
“…Uhut, why is our Sasuke like that? How can you say something so weakhearted.”
“Without a thorough preparation…. For now…”
Sasuke opened his eyes at Chiyou’s soft voice and opened his mouth. What awaited him was a smile that was scarier than anger. Sasuke quickly closed his mouth and bowed again.
“Phew~ As expected, I should have cut the sprout earlier, I can’t play with it now that I have come this all this way…”
“I’m sorry, Oka-san.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. It is proof that our power had not yet reached all over Middle Earth. I need to increase my power a little more. To obtain any information. So that we can plan anything.”
“I’m going to select reliable factors.”
“Secretly. Understood? For the time being, let’s keep an eye on the situation.”
“Hat!”
Sasuke’s body disappeared in an instant. Chiyou managed to fix her expression by glancing at her face into the dimmed crystal ball and then went back into the barracks.
“You have to think positively. Because climbing to the top is more fun than sitting on the top. Huhut.”
The letter was not immediately delivered to the commander-in-chief.
The Pope’s messenger arrived and delivered the letter to the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief’s messenger would come to Luger himself and receive the letter, and he needs to get back to the commander-in-chief.
In other words, it would take time.
“Cough, cough.”
“ Hmmmm.”
“It’s really boring. Isn’t it, Tale-hyungnim?”
“It’s like a kendo competition. There’s no movement, it’s like you’re going to hit your opponent’s head at any moment…
Tale’s analogy was appropriate. Right now, the stillness was quite an unfamiliar environment for those who had been engaged in a fierce battle just before. The vague air current somewhere in the middle where the battle could not be continued and the battle could not be stopped.
As the strange atmosphere engulfed the battlefield, Pei Wu made the first move.
“Master Kay.”
“Oh, ah! Yes, Pei Wu-nim. By the way, are you okay? I lost a lot of HP.”
Hearing Kijeong’s words, Pei Wu’s face wrinkled. With the expression of a young man holding back his tears, he bowed and said his thanks.
“Xie xie! Thank you for saving me from that dire situation. If it wasn’t for Master Kay, I would have died already. I am grateful.”
Pei Wu was someone who knew how to be grateful to the person who moved to save him. As a roaring voice resounded throughout the hills, here and there, the members of Hwangryong guild likewise expressed their gratitude to Kijeong.
Xie xie! Xie xie!
Thank you, Kay-dage!
“Aigoo! Uh, uh, why are you like this?!”
Kijeong was bewildered and looked at Pei Wu, and moved hesitantly as if trying to reciprocate Pei Wu’s gesture.
There was no level-down penalty, but Kijeong’s move to save Pei Wu in this kind of war was definitely not something that could be done with ordinary determination.
Most importantly, it was impossible action for an ordinary person to face the attack of Alexander, who was ranked number one. It was no exaggeration to say that it was impossible to see a tanker like Kijeong right now.
“Boom.”
“Pfft-! Hahahaha! Laughter leaked out everywhere. The feeling of sudden loosening of the stretched thread spread around the hill.
“Kiskis, anyway our guild master-nim. Even at times like this, you should have pretended to be strong! That’s why people love you.”
“Hey, why would you try to pretend to be strong in front of Pei Wu!”
“Well, I haven’t caught him before either. Kiskis.”
“Hmm, as expected, Pei Wu is a model martial artist. Even though I am not very old, I feel that I already reached that stage.”
Biyemi murmured and teased Kijeong, and Tale nodded with a look of admiration.
“Kuwaaaa…”
Seeing his guild members who were more uncomfortable with the situation and Pei Wu, who still bent over, Kijeong had no choice but to stand still with a slumped posture.
“Anyway, Kijeong. You’re taking care of everything.”
Leeha also looked at the situation with a warm expression. In such a slightly brighter atmosphere, Kidd who was on the hill sneakily walked to Leeha’s side.
“I will admit it.”
A smile hung on his lips as he looked down at the brim of his hat. It was a smile filled with a sense of exhilaration.
“Hmm?
“Hmm?
What?”
“You made him say it three times.”
As Leeha tilted his head, Kidd pretended not to know what he was doing and bumped into Leeha’s shoulder.
“I made him say it three times? What?”
“There.”
However, when Leeha couldn’t, Kidd pointed his chin. The person subtly pointed was Luger.
“Puha! Ah, that?”
“I didn’t know that man could break his promise. I can assure you, even the Pope of Ezwen will not be able to hear the same thing from him three times.”
Kidd knew it because he had dealt with Luger several times.
The best manner he could do was to say it twice. Moreover, three times? As Luger said right after he appeared, he never warned his opponent more than three times.
“The first is a recommendation. The second is a command, and the third is the shell. Be mindful.”
“Mr. Hat is right.”
“Huh? Lee Jiwon-ssi?”
And then, Lee Jiwon sneakily appeared behind Leeha and Kidd. He looked at Luger and Alexander, then whispered quietly.
“Because he is a man completely crazy about fighting.
He’s so stubborn No, it’s not just about talking, but the way he talks, it’s really wild. Anyway, if that mister comes at you, it won’t be a joke.”
Lee Jiwon spoke like he was complaining, and Leeha and Kidd could not help but laugh. Luger’s eyes widened as laughter spread.
The three of them looked away in an instant and pretended not to know anything.
“Ha Leeha-hyungnim, you have to escape quickly. It would be bad if you stayed here for a long time.”
“You have to listen. No, wait.
By the way, hyungninm? What hyungnim?”
Instead of answering, Lee Jiwon only smiled and raised his thumb. What did he mean? Since when have they become friends? However, the feeling wasn’t bad at all.
“Isn’t Mr. hat guy a hyungnim?”
Kid mentioned the expression translated to him again and expressed his dissatisfaction, but Lee Ji-won just laughed. With a firm attitude that he would not call him hyungnim unless he had completely acknowledged it, Kidd just snorted.
The gold dragon and Alexander, who floated in the air to shoot Leeha a breath, also came down to the ground again.
[What did you see at the mouth of the abyss, Luger?]
“What do you think I saw? You should already know. Could there be anything else than ‘it’ there?”
[Hmmm…….]
The gold dragon exhaled a long snort.
[I thought you were the one who hit me.]
Luger shook his head at the whispered words.
His eyes quickly scanned the gold dragon’s wounds. There was still a small amount of blood coming out from the cracks in the dragon’s scales. Luger’s expression changed when he saw the wound.
‘I thought he only aimed at Alexander……. Can that gun also pierce dragon scales?’
Luger turned his head slightly and looked at Leeha, and the [Black Bass] he was holding.
“You think my bullets will only do that much, dragon.”
[I am also different from back then, Luger. Be courteous to the guardian of order and the executor of justice.]
The voice of the gold dragon gradually grew louder. The dignity that made Kijeong, and Byeolcho’s members stop their movements as well as Leeha’s laughter.
Those who heard the dignity right in front of them were the most fearless.
“I am different from back then as well reptile. Can you remind me? Let me know if you want to see the inside of your body. I can make a hole for your head too.”
Luger carefully touched the [Cobalt Blue Python].
As the messenger of the Holy City, it was an act of reminding them that he was ready to fight anytime, although he could not be the first to start a battle.
“Do not provoke Bailephus. It is enough for me without Bailephus to judge you.”
“If it’s meant to be funny, you failed. If you fight alone, Kidd over there could beat you.”
“……Do you want to count the number of holes in your body, Luger. How dare you say something like that.”
Before Alexander could refute anything, Kidd stepped in and the atmosphere became harsh. However, Kidd’s words were not right either.
“You mean ‘something like that’? So you can beat me, unknown passerby. I could win even without the blade of my spear.”
This time, Alexander touched Kidd.
‘Unknown passerby. There was no way Kidd could stand all when he heard that expression of being looked down on because he didn’t even have a reputation in this position.
“Without the dragon, you cannot touch me. My Crimson Geckos-”
“Ah, ahhh! T-that! What are you doing now? You want to fight again?”
Leeha manage to catch Kidd, who was walking away, from behind. With his coat already half-folded already, his expression distorted.
Alexander, with a sullen expression, looked at Kidd, Leeha, and Luger with angry eyes. He didn’t like the fact that the corners of Luger’s lips, who had actually made this happen, were raised.
‘Is that what it means to turn your mouth like that? Isn’t it the right word for a crazy cheap guy?’
Leeha was able to understand exactly what Lee Jiwon said. Luger’s words and deeds, scratching the hearts of those around him and leading the fight were unusual.
As the anxious atmosphere continued, messengers finally arrived and brought Leeha relief.
“Fibiel’s entire army is moving back from the current point! Let me say it again, Fibiel’s army-”
“Retreat?”
“Are you just going away?”
Normal users responded to the messenger’s call.
They still couldn’t figure out the situation. They only knew that Alexander and Fibiel’s army is the same, but had no way of knowing why the war suddenly stopped.
(To be continued…)
