Chapter 335

Episode 335 Devon’s change of strategy Duke

Balo, who continued the chase for a while, found a mark drawn on a tree.

The regularly connected sheaths seemed to be telling them to follow them.

‘Do you dare provoke me?’

How confident are you in your skills that you can show such an arrogant appearance?

Duke Valor followed the scratches.

It rides over streams and wanders through the woods.

As if making fun of it.

Could it have been half a day?

After exiting the forest and seeing a huge wasteland, the sign was no longer visible.

Instead, there were a man in a robe and a princess whom he had seen before.

The man in the robe sitting crookedly in the shade of the tree laughs.

“Why are you so late? I thought I gave up again.”

As Devon’s soldiers quickly surrounded him, the Duke of Valor stepped forward and spoke.

“That’s the guy I saw at the top half of Harfman. I should have used my hand then.”

“Who said that? Half of life is regret.”

“That’s definitely true.”

After exchanging stories for a while, the Duke of Balor looked directly at Ray.

“Gently hand over the princess. If so, let me save you.”

At those words, Ray smiled and stood up crouched down.

“ha ha ha. who? you me?”

As he speaks, the peacock’s expression changes with his feet.

“Was it a sword master?”

At his words, the expressions on the faces of the soldiers around him instantly turned into astonishment.

Sword Master.

It is a state that all swordsmen dream of, and a person who walks in the extremes of the sword.

The aftermath was great because the duke said it with no one else.

he drooled.

“Umm…”

There is quite a distance between him and the princess.

Perhaps the princess’ neck would fall to the ground before she could even run away.

After thinking for a moment, Duke Balo asked Ray if he thought there was nothing else to do.

“What do you want?”

Only then, as if he had been waiting for it, Ray, who softened his momentum, raised a finger.

“First, the end of this war.”

“Are you from Celia?”

“You can say yes or you can say no. I don’t know you fools, but we’re not the ones who benefit from the war right now.”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“I have no intention of seeking understanding. You guys make a choice and I just find the right solution.”

Think about what the outcome of that solution will be.

The Duke shook his head as he read his inner thoughts.

The opponent has already decided everything.

There was no room for negotiation.

We will not accept any terms other than ending the war.

And unfortunately, it is difficult to end the war with just one princess.

“If there is a first, there must be a second. tell me.”

“It’s good because the story is fast. The second is the conclusion of an alliance between Devon and Celia.”

“…alliance?”

When the duke questioned his dumbfounded feet for a moment, Ray explained.

“Think of it as a stopgap for an unknown enemy.”

It sounds like fat.

What is the unknown enemy and what is the alliance to prepare for it?

He refused as if it was not worth thinking about.

“That is nonsense. Do you think two countries in the middle of a war can become allies overnight?”

“If it doesn’t work, make it happen. That’s what you guys have to do.”

He was talking seriously as before, but now I wondered if he was really crazy.

Where the hell does this level of confidence come from?

Duke Balor answered without hesitation.

“If that’s what you really think, then this negotiation is a breakdown.”

At that, Ray laughed.

His mana, which was raised from his body, began to dominate his son-in-law.

“Ice field.”

Starting with his toes touching the ground, ice crystals formed one by one in the sandy wasteland, and soon a blue ice land was created.

The trees and forests froze and the air sharpened.

Even Devon’s soldiers tried to stay away from him because of his incredible ability to be human.

“Aagh! Bar feet freeze!”

“Please save me!”

Two thousand soldiers were immobilized and incapacitated.

Only one person could be free from the ice fields that covered the entire wasteland.

Ray spoke in a situation where not only Princess Silea, who was by his side, but even the Duke Balo couldn’t open his mouth.

“I am not asking you to negotiate. Choose, will you perish? Will you survive?”

The cold smile glimmering through the robe showed the mighty power that could make it come true.

Hello, is this really a person?

Was there such a person in Celia?

When the Duke couldn’t say anything, Ray waved his hand.

Thousands of sharpened ice crystals floated in the air.

Perhaps on the day that thing hits the ground, 2,000 soldiers will die in an instant.

Duke Balor finally raised his hand at the absurd threat.

“Give me time to tell you, Your Majesty.”

Rey nodded and released the mana.

“There’s nothing I can’t do about it. Instead, take your troops who are staying unauthorized in front of someone else’s house with you.”

“…it is.”

When the duke answered, the ice crystals disappeared and the ice floe slowly melted as if it had always happened.

It must be a counter-evidence that mana control has reached its peak.

Mana, who completely changes the terrain, just felt a sense of wonder.

Now it was necessary to end the war, not because of his words, but for the kingdom of Devon to live.

‘A magic swordsman… What on earth is a man like that in Celia for?’

Curiosity flooded in, but I had no desire to ask it.

It’s been only thirty minutes since negotiations that weren’t negotiations were attempted.

In just that short time, Devon’s commander-in-chief felt the war was lost.

* * *

When all troops in front of the Prion Castle withdrew, the millennium leaders went into a countermeasure meeting.

Why the hell did they disappear in front of the castle gate?

There were many opinions, but none that could be answered.

In the end, the countermeasures meeting came to an end without any results.

A few days later, an end to the war was declared in Devon.

Even offering war compensation for him.

Thousand chiefs and hundred chiefs did not know what was going on at the successive questions, but they were able to return home with a sense of relief that the war was over anyway.

Ray, who had to stay out for a week to return the princess to Devon, had an audience with the king under the pretext of being reprimanded by the king.

King Theogarde was very smiling.

Looking at the expression that does not leave a smile every day, I doubt whether the uncle in front of me is really the king of this kingdom.

Ray got down on one knee in front of him.

“The war with Devon has ended safely.”

“Heh heh heh, that’s right.”

One day, before the war broke out, the saint in front of me had promised to give the kingdom of Celia a victory, not a victory.

I didn’t really believe it at the time, but I didn’t know it would come back with such good news.

Deogard, whose face had turned sinister like that of an alleyway pimp, thought.

‘The more times like this, the more I need to cheer you up. If I do well, I might be able to watch them live happily together with Celestia.’

he said with a sigh.

“I am deeply grateful. Were it not for you, we would still be at war.”

“He says everything.”

“So, I’m thinking of holding a banquet to express my gratitude to the saint… but would you please attend?”

It’s a banquet.

Well, there is time for the Sanghwan and Sanghoi to move anyway.

It didn’t matter because everything was already prepared and the rest was just waiting.

He nodded his head willingly, as if he knew the king’s heart.

“all right.”

“Hmmmm. Thank you.”

The king exclaimed inwardly.

Ray told him.

“It won’t be long before Devon will send an envoy to make an alliance. It is better to ask for their consent and hold a banquet jointly.”

“alliance?”

It was the first time he had heard of it as King Celia.

He nodded.

“I understand the reluctance of warring countries, but you have to be allies. Because that is the possibility that Celia can live even a little bit.”

Could it be that the kingdom of Celia would perish if they did not form an alliance?

The king replied as if he was not happy.

“…I see. You say it, so I do it.”

“I will continue to maintain a friendly relationship with the Harfman Company. There’s nothing good about Celia and the half-man guild and the like.”

Certainly, there would be benefits if the business continued with the top half of the company, but there would be no losses.

That part was understood by the king, so he answered positively.

“I am deeply grateful to Lord Hoffman. Even if it’s not about military funding, I have no intention of ending the relationship.”

As soon as the story seemed to have been sorted out, Ray finally opened his breath.

Celia, Devon, and even Hafman were woven together in one place.

If this had been done, at least it would not have been destroyed in one attack.

‘The atmosphere of the continent is still bloody, but it still doesn’t change.’

In an atmosphere where it would not be strange if a war broke out at any time, only two kingdoms ended the war.

As long as you pulled the trigger, there was no problem starting a war in another kingdom right away.

In order to prevent that, it was necessary to use the Holy Kingdom for a while.

Especially since you don’t know the information about the other person.

* * *

Rumors of the end of Celia and Devon spread far and wide across the continent.

Zeke, who had heard the rumors in his mansion, smiled.

“My lord must have done something.”

Now if you pretend, you pretend.

With the situation suppressed so quickly, it was hard to believe that King Celia had done it.

Eucliwood also agreed with him.

“You dare to attack without even knowing the subject, so even if you are destroyed, there is nothing to say.”

Soyoung, who was next to her, took a piece of bread and ate it.

“This can only be explained by the fact that the Devon kingdom self-destructed alone.”

“…But why do you guys live naturally in my mansion?”

Let’s talk while watching them sitting in his mansion someday, Hong-yeong answers instead.

“…Because my lord told me to get along well with everyone.”

“…”

Having said that, I have nothing more to say.

But it wasn’t without complaints.

Zeke, who was about to say something, shut his mouth.

I know very well that things won’t change anyway.

He probably didn’t even know that what Ray had asked for one day would end up like this.
