Chapter 348

#348. It doesn’t matter.

“…I’m so dumbfounded that I can’t say anything right now, but I’ll ask you first.”

A peak that rises higher than any other place in Africa.

The summit of Kilimanjaro.

A blonde-tanned boy who had been in sweltering Egypt just a minute ago, now looking down at the continent in front of a snow-covered mountain cabin.

But in reality, Noh Kang-ho is hundreds of years old.

Limon pressed his temples with a headache he had never experienced before.

and asked

“What the hell have you done?”

“I came to your rescue.”

“What to save! You know very well that there was no need for that, right?”

I asked as calmly as possible.

Nonetheless, the reason why the tone became inadvertently reprimanding was because the situation was so absurd.

The reason Limon decided to become Hasneti’s concubine was only to find the turkey bird.

You could get out whenever you wanted to.

But knowing that fact, Rose rescued Hasneti as if she were kidnapping her, even wielding her sword against him.

For Limon, whose infiltration was ruined all of a sudden, it was nothing short of astonishing.

However, Rose was not shaken.

As always, he just looked at Limon with a faint smile on his face.

“Do you really think there was no need?”

“of course.”

“You don’t know what Hasneti would have done if I hadn’t acted then?”

“That’s…”

Limon was speechless.

Whatever Hasneti does.

I had no intention of being forced into it.

However, if he had rejected her offer on the spot and even resisted, it would have been a pretty embarrassing situation.

In that respect, Rose’s intervention was certainly timely.

“…but what if we increase the work further?”

One problem.

Rose’s intervention only made things worse.

As a sire who was suddenly attacked by another princess, no princess can stand it as long as the opponent she was aiming for was taken away.

Especially when it comes to the Red Dragon Princess.

Limon, who knew that fact better than anyone else, couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh.

“I will resume the war.”

“yes?”

Nadia’s eyes widened.

Because of the sudden end of the war, she had been nervous about not being able to finish the post-war process.

However, it has been several days since the declaration of the end of the war, and they issued such an order again.

No matter how much they belonged to the red dragon clan, and even if they were princesses whom they respected and admired, originally, they would have asked them to reconsider as close aides.

“Is there a problem?”

“…ah um no.”

But in the end, Nadia couldn’t even make a sound and lowered her head.

It used to be a hearty atmosphere from the beginning, but now it’s on a completely different level.

A cold expression several times.

Eyes that radiate a bloody glow.

There’s that blazing psionic.

It was the first time even Nadia, who was close to her, had ever seen her so angry.

that’s why i knew

The fact that if I said even one wrong word now, I would be an aide, a nabal, and myself might be reduced to ashes.

The farm burned down just because it was near an angry Hasneti was proof of that.

So what should I do?

I have no choice but to do as I am told.

‘There’s no corps that can launch right now, but if we hurry up and make the minimum preparations… Umm.’

“Please wait a week. Then even if it’s not enough…”

“Right now.”

“…yes?”

“I told you to start a war right away.”

“Eek! Oh right now?”

“okay.”

“That is impossible!”

Despite her earlier resolution, Nadia inadvertently objected.

A proper army has to prepare everything from food to ammunition even when moving only a hundred units.

How much more so to send out tens of thousands of troops right away.

Even if Egypt was a militarized state, this would have been impossible.

Even more so now that the reorganization of the corps that has returned from the battlefield has not yet been completed.

“Do it even if it is impossible.”

“Even if you say that… Kuck!”

snap.

Did it come sooner or later?

In the blink of an eye, Hasneti, who had grabbed Nadia’s neck with one hand, raised her arm.

And looking into the eyes of her floating in the air, only her legs were throbbing. growled.

“I told you to.”

“Keheuk Gong Lord.”

“You understand?”

Kwaaaak.

Is it to prompt an answer?

Or maybe it’s because I couldn’t control my anger.

Nadia’s face turned blue as Hasneti tightened her hands.

It wouldn’t be strange if his neck bones were broken before he even suffocated.

“…No.”

nevertheless.

Nadia didn’t agree.

Squeezing out his thin breath, he desperately vomits out his words.

“A war to be lost… I can’t say it.”

Winning or losing is a sick boss.

So you can go to war.

However, going to the battlefield recklessly without supply or preparation is to give up victory in the first place.

Even the Red Dragon Clan, who never avoids fighting…

Or rather, Nadia, an aide to the Red Dragon Princess, could not accept this order.

It was a duty and a right given to those close to her to speak for the princess, even risking her life.

“…”

His face turned blue from suffocation.

The legs that were struggling stretched out.

until the eyes are out of focus.

At the end of glaring at the girl in the baggy military uniform who never gave the answer she wanted.

dump.

“Keah hah hah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

Hasneti put Nadia down as if tossing it.

And he spoke in a muddy voice to her who was coughing violently.

“I will give you three days.”

“That’s…”

Even though the pale complexion hasn’t returned yet.

Nadia didn’t answer immediately.

It was a much more realistic condition than asking to go out today, but it was still an unreasonable condition.

Especially if you wage a war of conquest rather than a local war.

That’s why it was the moment when Nadia opened her mouth again, ready to accept any punishment.

“One or two legions are enough.”

“yes?”

“Anyway, we don’t need half-assed troops. Instead, prepare the clan’s armed forces as much as possible.”

“At that level, it’s possible, but… Cough. Then you won’t be able to conquer many countries?”

“Does not matter.”

Hasneti said quietly.

In the first place, she had no intention of starting a war, but occupying it.

The goal was one country…

no, because there was only one woman.

“Because that’s enough to burn down the entire country created by that hateful hypocritical bitch.”

* * *

Due to his upright personality, such incidents are rare, but

catching the runaway Blue Dragon Princess is, in a sense, more difficult than catching the White Dragon Princess.

In that sense, it was obvious that Hasneti had committed the crime.

To make her come to you instead of chasing Rose.

And coincidentally, Hasneti had a perfect target to use that method.

“Now Pharaoh will destroy this country.”

Kilimanjaro Autonomous Government.

A peaceful country that Rose built one by one in this African land.

Hasneti, who knows that, will see this military government as bait to draw her out.

“As thoroughly and brutally as possible.”

Looking at its size, it is one of the leading powerhouses in the East, but the reality is that it is a new country that has been established for less than a month.

In the end, the self-governing government of Kilimanjaro is a ragtag country that is only maintained by the power of Rose.

If there is a war with Egypt, it will collapse after only a few days.

what will happen after that?

It will be ruthless looting.

Even to provoke Rose, Hasneti will wield the utmost tyranny he can.

A bigger problem was that Hasneti’s actions might not end there.

“Still, if my sister doesn’t show up, we might go to war with the British Empire.”

It was absurd.

Invading a young country in Africa and attacking the British Empire, the ruler of Europe, are two completely different things.

It would be crazy if it developed into a world war right away.

Even so, it wasn’t just because Hasneti was the Red Dragon Princess that Limon couldn’t ignore the possibility.

because I saw

Evaporate all rainwater.

Hasneti’s eyes burned hotly as if the whole world would be burned.

What can a person with such eyes do?

As Limon, who knew it from his long life experience, he had no choice but to struggle with how to deal with this.

“That is fine.”

“It’s okay… Do you have any good countermeasures?”

“yes.”

“really? What’s the solution?”

Limon was puzzled by Rose’s unexpectedly calm answer.

It’s a situation where I don’t see the answer to myself.

It’s because I couldn’t guess what kind of trick she had to be so calm and weak.

Anyway, it was fortunate.

If Rose has a plan, at least the worst can be averted…

“Because if she wants to go to war, let her go.”

“…?”

That moment.

Limon blinked.

what did you just hear

And what does that word mean?

Because I couldn’t understand for a while.

That was why he, who knew better than anyone else that the Sword Master’s ears couldn’t have been wrong, unknowingly asked.

“Who is there? I think I heard something wrong, but can you repeat what you just said?”

“He said he was going to war with Hasneti.”

“…???”

If you can’t avoid it, you just have to fight.

Looking at Rose, who gave such an outrageous answer that it was so obvious, Limon was completely stunned.

“You’re going to… start a war? With the Red Dragon Clan?”

“yes.”

“Then, a civil war between the Seven Dragons will begin?”

“I know.”

“Even though it could lead to a world war and a huge catastrophe?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

whether tens of thousands of people die

Whether hundreds of millions of people die.

that you don’t know

The most merciful and righteous princess of the Seven Dragons spoke calmly and smiled quietly as Limon stiffened after hearing her answer.

“That thing is not important.”

“…”

Even until Rose appeared… No, even when he ambush Hasneti, he was just dumbfounded.

Even after he brought himself as if he were kidnapped, it was absurd, but he didn’t want to do that.

but this moment.

Limon realized it only after hearing that even the world war was dismissed as ‘that’.

Rose didn’t have the heart to solve the situation quietly from the beginning.

The fact that from the moment she came to Hasneti without even a disguise, she had already planned to start a war, and that saving herself was a declaration of war.

“Sister… No, Count. What are you thinking?”

If the opponent was another princess.

Even if Ainsha had done something like this, he would have been able to understand it even if it was absurd.

However, the blue dragon clan, and even among the previous blue dragon princesses, Rose, who was especially sincere and compassionate, was fighting a war.

If I had heard it from someone else, I would have dismissed it as nonsense, and even now I still can’t believe it.

So, to him who is awestruck.

Rose said calmly.

“If you want to hear my answer, there is something I want you to explain before that.”

“What do you want me to explain?”

“What is your real purpose?”

Limon’s expression became bewildered.

“What do you mean by that? You know that my goal is a seven-color bird, right?”

“Yes, it was.”

A soft smile as always.

However, unlike usual, he looked straight at Limon with deep blue eyes.

Deciding to go to war only to get one answer from him, the princess calmly added a word.

“On the surface, that is.”
