431 Episode 124. Elders of Crisis (5)

The elders didn't take the words of Jorden very seriously. I just thought it meant nothing as much as sometimes Jorden used to show his dignity without work.

"Haha, how dare you say who's going to wipe us? My lord."

"Of course not, but we're all prepared to accept your wishes."

"Oh, yes! If the senate wishes, he'd like to return to active duty...….”

Jorden's eyes chilled as the elders habitually beat the tune. I was fed up with empty answers that didn't contain any sincerity.

"Really? Everybody knows my mind. You don't have to go back to active duty. But, like I just said...... as of this time, we will start a war with the second and 12th riders."

From then on, the elders could realize that something was wrong.

"Older brother, war is a...…?”

" Literally. I'm going to clean up the ranks of the 12."

"How can I help you?"

"Tikan Free City."

The elders' expressions hardened when the name came out of Jorden's mouth.

"It's the most important base of the 12-gear, and the people in it are the ones that most depend on."

"You mean you're going to hit the Tikan?"

"Yes."

"Ha, but sir. Haven't you forgotten one thing?"

"Tikan is in a state where no Looncandel can be trespassed, sir."

I can't believe you lied to me. I was just a little lucky. As soon as I arrived in Tikan, I had a relationship with Sir Kashmir.

Okay, anyway, you pass the test. As of today, no Looncandel will be able to step on the Tikan land without your permission. Even if it is this Ciron Looncandel.

Thank you, Father.

A conversation between Jin and Si-ron, who broke the taboo and returned to the family for a while when he was a backup rider.

At that time, Jean was able to pass the test of Zion to ensure the freedom of the stronghold, and no matter what accident she had caused afterwards, Looncandel had never directly attacked Tikan. Even when the wanted order was issued at the end of the reserve jockey, the guardian knights did not come to Tikan in person.

The household name is absolute. Since Xiron had never taken its command, Tikan was still a land of no choice but the other Looncandel, except Qin.

"You're right. But it's not that there's no way. Send those who are not Looncandel."

The elders were forced to open their eyes wide again.

"Sir, that's not the wrong story, but...... in fact, it's just a pun, isn't it? Your name would also prohibit Looncandel from giving a third party a saju and hitting the Tikan."

"That's right, sir. And what happens when you use outside forces to play the 12th term...... we've all seen it ourselves.

When the elders recalled the moment when Qin filled the sack with the supply and demand of the dead elders, the air somehow seemed to be getting cold.

"Everyone must feel uncomfortable fighting the 12th jockey. Well, it is. Those who are under my command hit the Tikan, which is only a pun that violates the commands of the housekeeper. But how many times has the 12-year-old jockey been playing with us?"

Jorden was right.

When he was a backup rider, Jin broke the rules several times, and every time he used his tongue to win prizes rather than bees.

"That's the way we should do. Now we're at a point where head-to-head competition doesn't answer. I made it clear. There's no safe fight anymore. "Those who are afraid may be left out, but the old Looncandel must be put down."

At the moment, the elders mostly recalled Jorden in his youth. Even before leading the Black Sword, Jordan used to set up a sprinkler tank to remove those who were against him.

Even in the early days of becoming the Black Sword Chairman, he had been purging blood for years.

In other words, if you choose to leave your prison here. It meant that one day, on the blade of the Black Sword, one day, one's neck would fall.

"The 12th rider is... ... As far as I know, you haven't had much of the deaths of your neighbors. As the elder of the family, I will remind you of the pain."

Gorden went on to say.

"... ..Old Master, then. Who are you planning to send to Tikan?”

* * *

any nameless desert east of the empire of Cascal.

With Jordan and the elders trying to hit Tikan, Jean was tracking down the elders of the ghosthood who had fled with some of his colleagues.

"I didn't know Seigalga had a secret fortress on this remote land. And the fact that the elders who had fled had continued to communicate with them."

said Rata, sitting next to Jean. Jean, disguised herself, was sitting in a restaurant in a nearby village and drinking tea.

Seigalga.

The heads of the ghosthoods were mostly killed and destroyed by the former Smarion Prochi.

But as he ruled the Ghosts for hundreds of years, the Seigal family hid its last remaining potential in this desolate little desert.

The combination of the Seven Colors and the Ghosts showed efficiency beyond expectations. He discovered this desert less than three days before he became blood-blind.

"Has it been confirmed that the traitors had leaked the secret of the nebulous nature to the outside world?"

Rata nodded heavily.

"Yes. But Beams and Gipples, Kinselo, and other forces. We don't know exactly which side they gave us the information.

"I guess we can find out about that from now on. What is the size of the Seigal family left in the fort?"

"With the exception of the housekeeper and servant, there are not many combatants. But before my father became a housekeeper. There were some big brothers, the Rocks, the Lax Seigal, and some big ones. The elders are not dull either."

Rocks, Rocks Seigal. It was a name that I've seen several times in books on Jindo War history. If it weren't for Smarion, they would have easily become ghosts.

Although he had been hiding for a long time without any presence, he would still be a great power if he hadn't let go of the sword completely.

"If you wait, I and my men will go and take care of it."

"No, I'm coming with you. We're going to figure out our strength, and we're going to work together."

Fei formed a siege with the troops, and Qin and Rata, and some of each leader, decided to strike the fortifications.

"There may be important data, so please be as careful as possible about the destruction of the interior. If possible, we'll subdue them quickly and quietly."

"Yes, Lord."

"And if there are civilians, they should all be classified as rescue targets. That means you shouldn't just kill people for being annoying."

Unlike a noble family of nobles, imperial families, or aristocrats. Mercenaries usually handled things that way. If a civilian, especially a civilian who does not make money, is found to be in the process of carrying out the request, he or she will kill him or her if something bothers him or her.

But now the ghost wasn't just a mercenary. It was necessary to follow the style of Minga, since it came under the leadership of Qin.

"I'll be clear."

Soon after, Fei signaled that he had finished building the siege network, and the gin, Latah and the leaders seeped into the darkened desert.

Seigalga's last stronghold was an underground fort.

They accumulated wealth by distributing drugs and various black goods here, and were dreaming of pushing away the Prochi brothers and sisters and taking over the ghost band again with betrayed elders.

A soft, treading sand floor made me feel particularly stiff. It was the entrance to the underground fort.

As soon as I swept the sand to check the door, I heard a voice.

"Who is it?"

As it was a secret fortress, there were no guards outside, but there were always people under the door.

Before he could again ask the identity of the party, a group leader lowered a poisoned bowel over the door.

Fucking! A short tremor was passed from beyond the door with a small noise, and it quickly stopped.

The doorknob was a shiver. The other team then blew the lock without a sound using the explosives specially manufactured by the ghost band.

As the world's two largest mercenaries, they have also shown their specialty in infiltrating.

Entering the interior revealed a large space. It was like seeing a huge ant cave, and the party was able to run into the remnants of Seigalga.

"Chim..."!

It's the mouth!

Not a single one of them has finished spreading the danger inside. All of them fell their necks on the swords of Qin and the Ghosts, leaving no screams of death.

Jean saved only one man and gave him a chance to speak for a while.

"Sa, please save me. I'm just a hired mercenary."

"Where are the Segal brothers?"

"In the innermost room of the center...... please."

He has no direct grudge, and he has given us the position of the Seigal brothers, and he is not a threat to them in the future, and he is only a hired mercenary.

Jean did not spare him.

It is a principle to avoid useless killing, but Qin was not a soft-hearted man enough to show mercy to the enemy soldiers.

Puck! The leaders who followed nodded inwardly as Jean cut off his breathing.

"I was worried that he might look so soft to say let's save civilians.’

'My boss wouldn't have asked me to swear allegiance to such an asshole. I'm sure you won't worry about it.’

Jean shook off the blood from the blade and gave the leaders a wink.

"I'll try to disperse from here to the west. Me and Rata are going to take care of the Seigal brothers, so the leaders should search the rest of the space."

"Okay."

The leaders dispersed, and Jin and Rata quickly and covertly moved to the residence of the Seigal brothers.

As they were two exceptionally talented people, most of them on their way died without even realizing them.

Soon after reaching the last room, the two were able to face the Seigal brothers standing armed and standing.

"Lata Prochi, your...…!”

"How did you know to come here?"

Rata didn't answer and turned the double swords lightly.

"Okay, this is how it ends. But do you think you can deal with us alone?"

"Come on!"

They were completely excluding the assumption that the man standing next to Rata, Jean, was a superior warrior.

That's why Rox Seigal was so focused on Rata's movements that he had to face the humiliation of being cut off immediately.
