The twisted way to fall in love with a dragon
Chapter 5: Letters from the Pope
The faint sound of birdsong made him open his eyes.Because there were no windows in the dormitory, it was dark all around.
Yakenjell sat up quietly, frowning.Because of the continuous camping life, he would not be able to sleep soundly on the soft bed, and his body would ache everywhere.
Although the sleeping face could not be seen due to the darkness, Ulan was indeed lying beside him.Last night, the two chatted and chatted, and finally fell asleep like that.
The bed with a canopy that once belonged to the lord was so wide that it was more than enough for three huge men like horses to lie side by side.Even so, it was absolutely inappropriate to let him sleep with Thomas.
From the air flowing in the dormitory, Yakenjell could tell that it was not long before dawn.It was still some time before breakfast, and the fatigue of the expedition still lingered on his body.I thought about whether it would be better to sleep a little longer, but I couldn't make up my mind because of the pain in my body.Suddenly, the boy jumped up.
"There is Yin 'Qi'! There are Eudemons nearby!"
You are not dreaming, are you? ——Before the young man had time to say that, Ulan had already got out of bed and rushed into the living room, which was slightly brighter than the dormitory.
When the boy pushed open the wooden window and the dim light of the morning shone into the living room, it seemed as if he had been waiting for this moment, and the singing of women immediately sounded outside the window.
"Ah, Your Majesty the Phantom Beast King! 』
"Our Majesty, the Great Dragon! 』
"We have sought you long, our lord! 』
The young man chased after him because of the boy's strange behavior, and watched the figures jump out of the long window while responding to the girls who were chattering.
"Thank you very much for coming out so soon. 』
『We have brought a message to His Majesty from the elders of the Dragon Clan. 』
Although they were all voices of young women, it was still possible to distinguish several people from the alternate voices.Because he wanted to know how many phantom beasts came to look for the king, Yakenjell stood by the window and looked out the window on the fourth floor.
Around the boy with the black wings stretched out, there were five strange creatures mixed with the figures of human women and birds floating in the air.The head and upper body are identical to those of a human female, but from the shoulders there are bird wings.Below the waist are the claws of a raptor with sharp claws, and the tail has long and colorful tail feathers.
"The elders are too impatient. Didn't they say they would go back soon, and they even sent envoys."
Because he was still angry about getting up, the boy said unhappily, while the Eudemons with young female heads shook their heads hastily.
"The message from the elders is not to urge you to go back as soon as possible.The one in Baiyin did not die in the battle just now, but came to this world, please Your Majesty find him as soon as possible, and then bring him back to the underworld. 』
"That perverted silver dragon is still alive and has arrived in the Yang Realm...?"
Ulan Pok, who rarely showed strong emotions, asked back with obvious surprise and wavering.
Occasionally speaking the same words at the same time, forming a beautiful harmony, the messengers lowered their heads with puzzled expressions.
"After His Majesty left due to urgent matters, the elders summoned the fire spirit on the volcano to inquire because they noticed that there was no 'Qi' that should be released with the death of the dragon..."
『—The fire spirits replied that they were entrusted by the silver one to cause the explosion.And the silver one was swallowed by the void near the crater before the volcano erupted and disappeared. 』
"The wind spirits directly above said that while the silver one was falling towards the crater, a huge round mirror-like object suddenly appeared, and the silver dragon disappeared in it. 』
『Also, shortly after His Majesty came here, a large number of humans suddenly appeared in our underworld.When the elders heard about it, those humans had been torn into pieces and eaten by the hungry ghosts. 』
Yake came back to his senses because of the feeling of broken dreams.Their singing-like reports, which were more beautiful than bards, seemed to fascinate him unconsciously.He had heard the legend of the siren who bewitched the crew with a beautiful song and then caused the ship to run aground.Although I don't know if these phantom beasts are the same kind of phantom beasts, but the voices of these phantom beasts have the charm that can make people recognize the authenticity of those legends.
Yet no matter how comforting those voices are, what they say can be shocking enough.If the balance of qi in the yin and yang realms is greatly out of balance, although there will be a buffer period for the power to maintain the balance, the creatures will still be sucked in from the side with more qi in the end and the side with less qi.
Two years ago, because of the great war caused by humans in the Yang Realm, many people died, so the phantom beasts from the Yin Realm were continuously attracted to the Yang Realm.But now the opposite phenomenon will appear, which can only show that the total amount of the yin world has been lower than that of the yang world, resulting in the absence of even a buffer period.
If only Ulan Boke moved over, wouldn't it cause such a serious imbalance?And I've heard that if a dragon transforms into a human, it can suppress the Qi in its body to an extremely weak level.However, if the two dragons moved at the same time, the balance of qi would definitely tilt sharply.
"How was the situation in the underworld when you left?"
"The phenomenon of humans falling into the underworld has been temporarily suspended.The Elder thought that it was because His Majesty and Bai Yin had transformed into humans to reduce the impact on Yang Qi. 』
『At this time, I can no longer care about how the one who cares about Shirogane crossed the world.In short, we need to inform His Majesty the Eudemons King as soon as possible, and bring him back to the underworld—』
Finally, the Eudemons said in unison.
『This is the message from the elder. 』
Ulan Pok didn't answer right away, but was thinking about what was getting into trouble.
Yake understood what he was distressed about.Perhaps it would be much easier if the request was to kill them on the spot.Summoning an opponent that King Thunder Fang couldn't defeat, what can be done to bring him back to the underworld alive against his own will?If both of them fight with dragon bodies, they have to consider whether it will cause a large number of human beings to be sucked into the underworld.Moreover, what made Yake feel depressed the most was that he guessed who helped the silver dragon cross the two worlds.
There was once a man who used magic that summoned dragons from the underworld to the underworld.He won the duel that exhausted his magic power and strength, and pulled the dragon who was once the current dragon king into the sun world and made him his servant.If the character Yake or Doma thought of really intervened in the battle between the dragons, the resolution of the matter would only become more complicated and difficult.What is said to be captured and brought back to the underworld as soon as possible is even more a daydream within a daydream.
The world whose balance was disrupted by this chaos was saved because of the sacrifice of the former king who raised Ulanbok's grandfather.However, that man has not given up.He is still planning to reunite the divided world into one by taking advantage of the complete loss of balance.If the two worlds merge again, a catastrophe will occur that will wipe out all living things.
What that man wanted was revenge on the world that sacrificed the life of the dragon he loved.While wandering in the Underworld, he manipulated nations from within, manipulating war and death—in order to gain the destruction of the world.
The sorcerer Dandarion.He is the descendant of the holy king who established the third unified kingdom, the overlord of the chaos 350 years ago, and the grandfather of Arkenjell.Dandarion, who inherited the blood of the long-lived elves and the ancients with powerful magic power, has maintained the appearance of that time until now, living somewhere in the Yang world.Possessing the level of mana that is revered as the king of magicians, he not only becomes an enemy of the world again, but also acquires the words of a dragon whose power is comparable to the dragon king...
Youth realizes that the crisis of the world is by no means over.When he thought that Ulan Boke, who had experienced such bitter memories, would be involved in the battle that bears the fate of the world again, he could no longer keep silent.Yakanjiel called out the boy's name unconsciously.
"Ulan Pok...! Was he really summoned?"
Since they hadn't noticed the young man's existence until now, his cry made the five phantom beasts panic.
"Humanity!There are humans there! 』
"Selfish monkeys!It's all because of you, our king..."
"Quiet! Don't be rude to my pledger!"
The boy let out a quiet and majestic drink befitting the name of a king.
The women, who were stirring half-frantically like noisy hens, reacted strongly to what the boy called the "swearers".With intoxicated smiles on their faces, the girls flapped their wings and sang like birds one by one with crisp voices.
"The Vow of the Noble Soul"
"Holy Bond"
"Poignant Dream"
"Eternal Love"
"Our King's Oath King...! 』
"Whether it's human or phantom beast, all women are the same everywhere!"
Hearing the boy's last whispered exclamation, Yake hurriedly covered his mouth in order not to laugh out loud.
The human beings that Ulan was talking about were Crotia, who was extremely yearning for the romance between the King of Phantom Beasts and the Holy Queen.Just because she was not chosen, Ulan has been called the HOMO dragon until now.
『Forgive me for your ignorance.When we first met, our sisters were the high-ranking Eudemons of the two types called 'Habi'. 』
"Come across the underworld for thousands of miles, and travel in the yang qi, which is completely poisonous to phantom beasts, is really hard work."
Because he didn't know how to return the gift, Yake had to praise their hard work first.
"How did you find out where I am?"
『We have the ability to trace the yin energy left behind by you as a dragon. 』
"That's why the elders sent us to assist the one who searched for silver. 』
『The silver one was taken to the west opposite to His Majesty. 』
"Well, that was really helpful... eh? What happened to the wound on your face? Was it beaten by a human?"
"Yes.Although I chose to go on the road at night...』
"But I was discovered while sleeping in the bushes, the two younger sisters..."
"It's better to be locked in a cage and watched by humans, and finally go crazy to death..."
"That's why I cast fire magic on myself..."
"That's enough. Sorry to make you sad."
The Happys, who cried again at the thought of the tragic ending of the sisters, were surprised by the apology from the Phantom Beast King.
"How dare you do that!It is our honor to be able to help the king! 』
"O king with a gentle heart, please don't be saddened by the death of us phantom beasts. 』
"Anyone is fine, as long as there is one person who can reach the king's side, that's enough—we came here with such mental preparations." 』
"Thanks for your hard work. Continuous exposure to Yang Qi will make you suffer, right? Be my summoned beast, and everyone will report their names."
"I am Alcione. 』
『Merope, Maia, Dijta, Keira Aino. 』
Having won the honor of directly serving the Eudemons King, the Harpy sisters with radiant faces announced their names one by one.
The boy called out the true names of the hobbits with a mysterious pitch, and chanted a spell that did not exist in human magic.
"——You sisters, become servants under my name, and sleep in my blood. When you are summoned in my name, use your power to destroy my enemy——'Demon Covenant Launch'!"
At the same time as the spell was activated, Habi's body turned into a white ball of light, which disintegrated and turned into a beam of light flying towards the king's forehead.
The emblem of light that appeared in the middle of the boy's forehead accepted and absorbed their light, and then disappeared.
Yakenjal had seen a boy cast a spell before.At that time, it was the mermaid who became the summoned beast.Also, the upper body is a beautiful woman and the lower body is an alien. This accidental coincidence is really interesting.Just as he was thinking this way, the boy who flew out without wearing his shoes returned to the room.Almost with the momentum of bumping into him, he was hugged tightly by the boy.
"what happened?"
"...that pervert...! I thought it was solved forever!"
"I can understand your feelings. Things have become troublesome! As long as there is something I can help... Ulan?"
"For me, it doesn't matter if it's Skira* or Ramiya*, only that pervert can't do it anyway...!"
Embracing his lover tightly, the boy made a painful confession.
Because of the relative lack of knowledge about the types of phantom beasts, Yake couldn't imagine the appearance of Skila and Lamia.But Ulan's astonishing rejection of the silver dragon was fully conveyed to him.
—There are also women who can stand spiders and snakes, but can't stand lizards anyway.This should be the feeling, right?No, comparing metamorphosis with lizards, isn't it too sorry for lizards?
While muttering such things in his heart, Yake stroked the soft curly hair of the boy who was trembling with intense disgust.
Just as he was tidying up the boy's messy hair due to sleep, the boy left his embrace slightly, held that hand, and pulled it in front of him.After placing Yake's palm on his lips for a kiss, he pulled that hand to his cheek and covered his hand.
"why?"
"what?"
"As soon as I was touched by Yaconjell, for some reason, I felt so relieved that I wanted to cry."
In order to feel the touch and warmth of the young man's palm more clearly, Ulan Pok closed his eyes and muttered in a low voice.
Yake blushed to such an extent that he himself doubted whether he would spew fire.
"...Please. Don't say that out of the blue. You're making my heart jump out of my chest."
"It's the same for me. My chest is full of helplessness and distress. But even so, there will be an indescribable strange joy. Hearing the voice of Yakenjell, feeling the touch of Yakenjell's fingers, that's all. My spine would be shivering with excitement."
Even though he knew he would find out, Yakenjel couldn't restrain the trembling of his fingertips no matter what.Even so, due to the sadness of the elderly, he still couldn't help but want to be brave, and joked in a calm and smiling tone: "That's really incredible. I have neither a long neck nor wings, nor can I The tail that wraps around your body."
"Didn't I say it before? It's fine for Yakanjill to stay like Yakanjill. As long as Yakanjill is Yakanjill, it will give me supreme happiness."
There is something almost frightening in the pursuit expressed by the boy who has become talkative.
However, just because he knew that he was serious, Yake himself was far from being in a normal state.And at such a time, Thomas and Crotia, who would usually come to interrupt, were not there.Although Ulan Boke didn't do it on purpose, his words and deeds still unknowingly forced the youth to nowhere to retreat.
"It doesn't matter what you want to say after the reunion. Now is everything. Yakanjill is here. I just love Yakanjill. Besides, I don't need anything else... ..."
The young man who couldn't bear it anymore couldn't help covering Ulan's mouth.
"...I surrender, Ulan Pok. You have always been like this, always attacking me with love without showing weakness. Compared with the world, I chose you, and now I have no way out. There is no other way but to fall choose."
"The spell of Arconjell is the strongest, and has the power to bind the king of monsters to death. But dragons are stupid. So I want to hear that deadly spell over and over again. So please say it, say it again..." Looking up at the pledger, the Phantom Beast King wrapped his long platinum hair around his fingers and said in a low voice.
Feeling like being entangled by a child, Yake couldn't help but smiled wryly.
"That spell is a double-edged sword. It will make me give up everything. But, I think it's totally worth it to bind the dragon for the rest of my life-'I love you', Ulan Pok. My life has been bound by you."
The descendant of the ancient dragon hugged the beautiful young man he had obtained tightly in his arms, and even spoke greedy words.
"How nice it would be if I had the power to stop time at this moment."
What awaits the group of people who return to the base area is a difficult and busy daily life in another sense, which is different from the time of fighting that cannot be taken lightly.
Yakenjell, who is mainly in charge of personnel and government affairs, receives reports on various problems and economic conditions arising from operations from the deacon of Wangcheng and the chief secretary of the army, and gives various instructions.
During this time, secret letters from lords who gave up dealings with the kings of surrounding countries also increased.Yark's job was to read the submitted documents and diplomatic papers, make a proper written response and sign it.
Thomas, the supervisor in charge of the training of the soldiers, and other generals discussed the study of tactics and the problems after capturing the enemy's territory.All military practice, including actual combat, is within the scope of his work.
Crotia, who was in charge of preparing the rear support affairs, was in a mess because of the supply of manpower and materials.Conduct interviews with more and more volunteer soldiers and magicians who have come to seek refuge recently, and assign them to the generals on the basis of measuring their identities and suitability.In addition, it is also her job to replenish consumed weapons, armor, military rations, etc. and conduct quality inspections when purchasing.
And beside the monk Gais who served in the chapel in the king's city, he also attracted a large number of four-spirited believers.They entrusted him with an intercession to the sage Arkenjel who led the Holy Unity.There are also many businessmen who come to donate for investment purposes.So naturally, financial affairs became his job.
"The war between human beings is really troublesome!" After wandering around the city to pass the time because of boredom, the Eudemons King vented a mixture of sympathy and boredom.
Even that Maria Bella gathered together with the magicians in the general, busy with lectures on magic theory and research on new magic.
When the secretary and deacon who were responsible for submitting reports and writing documents stepped back, the boy walked to Yake who was facing the desk alone. He sat on the edge of the ebony desk and stared at the tapestry on the wall.
"In the case of dragons, you can solve it with a one-on-one fight."
"That's really enviable. If I can decide the ownership of the country with the kings of all countries, I really hope it will become like this. I am confident that I will not lose to anyone—hey, Document Mountain wants fall down!"
The young man who had finished speaking confidently hurriedly warned the boy who fell on his back on the table.
Ulan Pok stretched out his hand, stroked the young man's cheek with his fingertips, slid all the way down his jaw, and then stroked his lips as if playing a joke.
Yake lightly bit the finger that caressed himself as if he would never get tired of it.
"If you continue to make trouble like this, my work will never be finished. I originally wanted to free up the afternoon time for you, but I planned to solve them all in threes and fives!"
"I have nothing to do by myself."
"In this case, let's think about what to do together in the afternoon."
The young man who spoke with a smile frowned at the knock on the door.As if to confirm Yake's premonition, the deacon who came in reported the visit of the guests who would disrupt the work schedule.
The Huan Beast King was woken up by someone who asked for an interview early in the morning, while the commander-in-chief of the Holy United Army was interrupted from his morning work by an envoy sent from the Great Temple of Yan Dynasty located in the ancient battlefield.
Ever since Yakenjere purified the ancient battlefield where the "Yang" energy was distorted, he has formed an indissoluble bond with the Great Temple of Yan Dynasty.
During the last chaos, Yan Dai became the stage for the final battle between the two camps.The death of a large number of soldiers greatly distorted the atmosphere of the earth, and the souls of the dead soldiers continued their march.
Although the Great Temple of the Yan Dynasty was built to purify the souls of soldiers who fell on the ancient battlefield, none of the chief priests in the past has been able to correct the distortion of Qi.
It is the current Chief Priest Obitaru who reported the purification performed by the former paladin Arkenjell to the headquarters of the Four-Faced God Order in Jiaodupu, and urged the Pope to grant him a miracle certificate.Because of this, he later conveyed all the meaning of the religious order to Yakengel, who became the commander-in-chief of the Holy United Army.And it is precisely because of Obitaru's plan that the Holy Unity Army will receive the secret support of the religious order.
Although Obitaru was once defeated in the struggle for the throne of the next pope, and was moved from the headquarters to the Great Temple of Fuku, but now with the help of Yakengel, he is planning how to return to the ranks of pope candidates again.
His ambitions are naturally clear to Arkenjel, so everyone is using each other for each other's benefit.
Through the Great Temple of Yan Dynasty, Yakenjere received a personal letter from the Pope for the first time.
After lunch, Yaconjal called an emergency meeting of the leading figures of the army.
In the high-ceilinged hall that was used as a cafeteria, rectangular plain wooden tables were lined up against the walls on both sides.Because there were no individual chairs, people who were called to work overtime sat on wooden benches that didn't even have a backrest.
The dogs that had been raised in the royal city since the days of the lords were still wandering around looking for leftovers from lunch after the tables had been cleared.However, as soon as the Phenomenal Beast King, who hadn't shown up at lunch, entered the hall, the dogs scrambled to escape in extreme terror.
Thomas, who had finished his lunch on the training ground, came to the hall with other generals and his subordinates. He watched the escaped dog off, and couldn't help joking about the boy.
"What's going on, Your Majesty the Phantom Beast King! You seem to be completely unpopular among beast dogs!"
"Maybe they think they will be eaten? Those guys have very good noses, and they can immediately notice the difference between me and humans."
"That's right! But when we run out of military rations and are starving, we humans will also eat dog meat. They can be regarded as emergency food during the siege!"
The men behind the big man who had fought fiercely during the mercenary period laughed together.Only the jokes of Dorma, who also survived the difficult battle, can trigger their hearty laughter.
The boy looked up at the big man silently.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. As long as I'm here, Yake won't be in a situation where he has to eat dog meat."
Ulan Pok nodded as if he felt that the other party should answer this way for granted.
His nonchalant glance sent a chill down the back of even General Thomas, who was known for his bravery.
——If Yake is put in the predicament of eating dog meat, maybe I will be eaten by this guy!
Feeling the threat of inhuman aura contained in the other party's eyes, Thomas sighed in his heart.
Unaware that he threatened his friend, Ulan's interest went straight to the person sitting next to the head coach Yakenjel.
Crotia and Maria Bella were already seated at the table placed on the table at the front of the hall.
The girl raised a hand to the boy as a signal, and pointed to the space between herself and Yake with her finger.But Ulan Boke ignored the girl's actions and went straight to the man sitting next to Yake.He jumped onto the table lightly like this, supported the tabletop covered with white tablecloth with one hand, and said in a friendly voice to the pale-faced and lower-headed guests.
"I haven't seen you for two years. Are you still alive and tenacious? You should know that when you stay with Yake, you should be careful about your words and deeds. Dragon has a very good memory. I will never forget what you did matter."
The one who visited the royal city with the Pope's personal letter was Kaningam, the head of the Holy Knights who served the high priest Obitaru.As a teacher of Yake, he once again clearly bathed in the murderous aura of an angry dragon at a super close distance.
Concerned about the face of the hapless Knight Commander, Arkenjell deliberately pretended not to notice his trembling and dripping cold sweat.However, Thomas, like Ulan, had no intention of forgiving Kaningam for what he had done to Yak.Unlike a reasonable friend, he didn't show any respect for the other person's face.
"Boy Ulan, don't bully the elderly so happily! If they recite it all at once, it will be troublesome to deal with the aftermath!"
"Your Majesty the Eudemons King, General Thomas. Please refrain from speaking ill of the envoy sent by the High Priest. The meeting is about to begin, please sit down."
At this point, Yake, who finally couldn't stand it anymore, reminded the two happy people.Because if even Thomas starts to go berserk, he won't be able to set an example for others.No matter what feelings one's own side has towards Kaningam, after all, it is the messenger with the Pope's handwritten letter. If he is rude to him, it will still be a problem for the army supported by the church.
The boy who proudly looked down at the knight leader snorted softly.In order for the opponent to see clearly, he spread the wings on his back, flew through the air and landed on the opposite side of the table.
Crotia, whose eyes immediately turned into stars, whispered eagerly to the boy who pulled out the chair and sat down.
"Ulan, you are so awesome~ (heart)"
"Thank you for the compliment."
Yake, who supported his forehead with one hand, gently bumped the expressionless boy with his elbow.
After everyone arrived, the waiter poured wine into everyone's glasses.A number of wine bottles were specially placed in front of Ulan Boke.
After roughly confirming the attendees, the commander-in-chief of the Holy United Army sat up straight and spoke in a loud voice.
"The purpose of calling you here this time is to show you the personal letter from His Holiness Pope Ni of the Four-Signed God Religion to our Holy Unity Army."
Immediately, cheers erupted among the participants.
The dream of most of the people sitting here is to become a legion recognized by the religious order.Because in this way, there is hope for both material and spiritual support from believers in the whole mainland.And it can also bring a glimmer of hope to believers across the continent who are exhausted due to the continuous war.
In order to embody the idea that the four-phase gods bring harmony and balance to the world, the legion that fights with the goal of unifying the whole land-this is the origin of the name of the Holy Unity Army.
Of course, it is impossible for all soldiers to have exactly the same wishes.Ambition and dreams, revenge, blah blah blah.The number of soldiers can be directly proportional to the number of reasons.Just looking at the mercenaries who swarmed in, one can know that there are very few people who deeply believe in and sincerely sing the will of God.Even the commander-in-chief, Arkenjell, joined hands with the ambitious Dorma only for the sole purpose of making Yangjie settle down as soon as possible and solving the troubles of the Phantom Beast King.
But no matter what the individual's reasons for joining the war are, everyone's common goal is to look forward to the early end of the chaos from the heart.
"It's too early to be happy now. We just got a personal letter from His Majesty who has power comparable to that of a country. The letter hopes that I can visit the headquarters of the religious order in the capital. The appointment of the new position of commander-in-chief of the Holy Knight Order. This should be regarded as a tactful recognition, right?"
The hall was immediately filled with disappointed and restless noises.
"Boring!" The female general who took the case looked at Yake and shouted: "If we want to go to the side of Yanxia, we have to defeat Fujikyoto and Aisakapu first. If we break through two of the three kingdoms, The unification of the whole land is just around the corner! At that time, what good will it be for us to be recognized by the religious order again? It’s just an extra object of favor. Those who fought, were injured, and died are all our soldiers. Since those Guys are going to sit on the sidelines until the general situation becomes clear, why should we accept their approval?! If there is no benefit, of course we can only ignore the verbal agreement with the bystanders!"
People who, like her, advocate keeping a distance from the religious order, also shouted their sympathy.
The expression of the head of the Kaningam Paladin immediately became very ugly.
Beside him, General Thomas who nodded vigorously spoke.
"I also think that General Sonia's opinion is very correct. Considering the distance between the religious capital where the headquarters of the religious order is located and Aisaka, we are not incomprehensible for His Majesty's cautious attitude. If Aisaka attacks us because of aiding us , isn’t the gain outweigh the loss?”
"In that case, believers in neighboring countries will not remain silent, right?"
"As far as believers are concerned, how much can we expect from the mob of civilians? Even if they are outnumbered, it depends on whether those guys can survive the attack of the Fengsaka army until they gather more numbers. But then When will we wait? Besides, it is said that Aisaka has many high-level magicians. There are almost no offensive spells in holy magic!"
After being sharply criticized by General Thomas, Kaningam seemed to want to refute, but the current atmosphere is really not suitable for guests to intervene in military discussions.
The captain of the knights of the extinct Kanagawa circle raised his hand, asking for permission to speak.
"For the personal letter written by the Pope this time, I think it is an adventure on the part of the church. Although it is a bit rude to say so, the Holy Unity Army has indeed become an unexpected powerful force for the countries that want to unify the continent. Therefore, it is taken for granted that if we continue to strengthen it, it will be difficult to control. In order to prevent the increase of volunteers, there may continue to be countries like Fujikyodo that suppress the believers of the Four Gods in the future. Therefore, the religious order probably I want to raise the status of Mr. Arkenjell and hint to the countries that if we continue to suppress the believers, we will simply support the Holy Unity Army. If you don’t want to be the enemy of the forces supported by the believers in the whole land , stop the suppression of believers immediately—that’s it.”
"Does that mean we are going to be used as checkers!"
Several soldiers stood up angrily.
Yake raised a hand and stopped them with a calm smile.
"Calm down! Getting angry just by guessing won't solve any problems. Make good use of what you can. This is the inevitable rule of survival in troubled times. Even the church is no exception, and of course we are the same. This is, His Holiness the Pope If we keep watching from the sidelines like this, we will be very troubled. Because the last thing I want to see is a country that has survived, repeated small-scale conflicts, and endless troubled times. I hope that there are still believers in the whole land When you have spare energy, decide the overall situation in one go. If you can’t do this, as General Sonia said, there is no benefit for us to establish a relationship with the religious order.”
"Yarkenjell! You, who were once a paladin, are so disrespectful to your majesty, what do you mean...!"
Kaningam, whose face was flushed, jumped up, with the momentum of wanting to grab the other party's collar, and yelled at the young commander-in-chief of the Holy United Army.
On the spot a glass of wine flew towards his face.
"Too loud. Don't yell in monkey language I can't understand."
The Eudemons King, who crossed Yake's head and punished him mercilessly, said coldly, and drank the wine directly from the bottle.
The boy's harsh words and deeds won the enthusiastic support of the generals and knights present.In the process of ridiculing laughter, clapping hands, and whistles one after another, Kaningam, who was already extremely ashamed, pushed away Yake's stop and left the hall.
Crotia smiled and comforted Yake who was holding his head.
"Isn't that good? Compared to the fact that all the content of the military meeting was leaked to Priest Obitaru...Ah, even Yake was splashed with wine."
The girl hurriedly ordered the waiter to quickly bring dry towels and replacement cups.
After Doma moved the seat over, he praised the boy with a smile on his face: "Good job, Ulan boy! It's really lightning speed! It's a good medicine for that damn old man! That guy, three words How about the Pope, who doesn’t leave the church, just knows how to put on airs in front of us, I have long wanted to teach him a lesson!"
"Really. I knew that he should have been killed."
There were enthusiastic cheers all around.
The Phantom Beast King, who put the empty bottle back on the table, cast an unsatisfactory gaze at the entrance where the Knight Leader disappeared.
Yake dried the hair that was splashed with wine, wiped the wine stains on his shirt with a dry towel, and sighed at the conversation between the two.
"Ulan. I am very grateful for your kindness, but this kindness is enough. So, where did the conversation go..."
"It's actually very simple to solve that problem. I'll change back to the dragon body and bring Yakenjell to the headquarters of the religious order in the religious capital."
The once noisy hall was once again silent.
"It just so happens that I'm going to the west to do business. Although I don't know what kind of ceremony will be held at the headquarters of the religious group, if it's just a round trip, ten days will be enough."
The boy was reaching out to another bottle, but the strange atmosphere of silence confused him, so he turned his gaze to the commander-in-chief of the Holy United Army.
"Could it be possible that the handwritten letter also said that it's not Yakenjell alone, but the whole army is coming?"
That's right, it turns out that there is still this hand-everyone had this idea at the same time.
The reappearance of the king of monsters and the personal letter from the Pope.It can only be considered as the royal intention of the four-phase god, and it fits seamlessly.
So starting from the broad daylight, the military meeting turned into a banquet early.
Phantom beast noun introduction:
1. Lamia
Lamia is an ogre in ancient Greek myths and legends. She appears as a female image with a big snake on her lower body, a beautiful woman on her upper body, and a whole body covered with snake scales.It is said that she will steal children in the dark of night, seduce young people with beautiful songs, and then eat them alive.However, in mythology, Lamia was not a monster at the beginning. She was once one of the lovers of the great god Zeus, a beautiful and noble princess.But Hera, Zeus's jealous wife, killed all of Lamia's children and told her that she would kill her future children as well.As a result, Lamiya became insane and became a monster that preyed on other mothers and children.
2. Skyllla
Scylla was a sea monster that lived in the Strait of Messina between the Italian peninsula and Sicily.Its upper body is a beautiful woman, but its lower body has six animal heads and twelve feet with free will. It often attacks passing ships and takes away the crew for lunch.It used to be a beautiful woman.However, he turned into a monster due to the magic of the witch Gilkai.
Yakenjell sat up quietly, frowning.Because of the continuous camping life, he would not be able to sleep soundly on the soft bed, and his body would ache everywhere.
Although the sleeping face could not be seen due to the darkness, Ulan was indeed lying beside him.Last night, the two chatted and chatted, and finally fell asleep like that.
The bed with a canopy that once belonged to the lord was so wide that it was more than enough for three huge men like horses to lie side by side.Even so, it was absolutely inappropriate to let him sleep with Thomas.
From the air flowing in the dormitory, Yakenjell could tell that it was not long before dawn.It was still some time before breakfast, and the fatigue of the expedition still lingered on his body.I thought about whether it would be better to sleep a little longer, but I couldn't make up my mind because of the pain in my body.Suddenly, the boy jumped up.
"There is Yin 'Qi'! There are Eudemons nearby!"
You are not dreaming, are you? ——Before the young man had time to say that, Ulan had already got out of bed and rushed into the living room, which was slightly brighter than the dormitory.
When the boy pushed open the wooden window and the dim light of the morning shone into the living room, it seemed as if he had been waiting for this moment, and the singing of women immediately sounded outside the window.
"Ah, Your Majesty the Phantom Beast King! 』
"Our Majesty, the Great Dragon! 』
"We have sought you long, our lord! 』
The young man chased after him because of the boy's strange behavior, and watched the figures jump out of the long window while responding to the girls who were chattering.
"Thank you very much for coming out so soon. 』
『We have brought a message to His Majesty from the elders of the Dragon Clan. 』
Although they were all voices of young women, it was still possible to distinguish several people from the alternate voices.Because he wanted to know how many phantom beasts came to look for the king, Yakenjell stood by the window and looked out the window on the fourth floor.
Around the boy with the black wings stretched out, there were five strange creatures mixed with the figures of human women and birds floating in the air.The head and upper body are identical to those of a human female, but from the shoulders there are bird wings.Below the waist are the claws of a raptor with sharp claws, and the tail has long and colorful tail feathers.
"The elders are too impatient. Didn't they say they would go back soon, and they even sent envoys."
Because he was still angry about getting up, the boy said unhappily, while the Eudemons with young female heads shook their heads hastily.
"The message from the elders is not to urge you to go back as soon as possible.The one in Baiyin did not die in the battle just now, but came to this world, please Your Majesty find him as soon as possible, and then bring him back to the underworld. 』
"That perverted silver dragon is still alive and has arrived in the Yang Realm...?"
Ulan Pok, who rarely showed strong emotions, asked back with obvious surprise and wavering.
Occasionally speaking the same words at the same time, forming a beautiful harmony, the messengers lowered their heads with puzzled expressions.
"After His Majesty left due to urgent matters, the elders summoned the fire spirit on the volcano to inquire because they noticed that there was no 'Qi' that should be released with the death of the dragon..."
『—The fire spirits replied that they were entrusted by the silver one to cause the explosion.And the silver one was swallowed by the void near the crater before the volcano erupted and disappeared. 』
"The wind spirits directly above said that while the silver one was falling towards the crater, a huge round mirror-like object suddenly appeared, and the silver dragon disappeared in it. 』
『Also, shortly after His Majesty came here, a large number of humans suddenly appeared in our underworld.When the elders heard about it, those humans had been torn into pieces and eaten by the hungry ghosts. 』
Yake came back to his senses because of the feeling of broken dreams.Their singing-like reports, which were more beautiful than bards, seemed to fascinate him unconsciously.He had heard the legend of the siren who bewitched the crew with a beautiful song and then caused the ship to run aground.Although I don't know if these phantom beasts are the same kind of phantom beasts, but the voices of these phantom beasts have the charm that can make people recognize the authenticity of those legends.
Yet no matter how comforting those voices are, what they say can be shocking enough.If the balance of qi in the yin and yang realms is greatly out of balance, although there will be a buffer period for the power to maintain the balance, the creatures will still be sucked in from the side with more qi in the end and the side with less qi.
Two years ago, because of the great war caused by humans in the Yang Realm, many people died, so the phantom beasts from the Yin Realm were continuously attracted to the Yang Realm.But now the opposite phenomenon will appear, which can only show that the total amount of the yin world has been lower than that of the yang world, resulting in the absence of even a buffer period.
If only Ulan Boke moved over, wouldn't it cause such a serious imbalance?And I've heard that if a dragon transforms into a human, it can suppress the Qi in its body to an extremely weak level.However, if the two dragons moved at the same time, the balance of qi would definitely tilt sharply.
"How was the situation in the underworld when you left?"
"The phenomenon of humans falling into the underworld has been temporarily suspended.The Elder thought that it was because His Majesty and Bai Yin had transformed into humans to reduce the impact on Yang Qi. 』
『At this time, I can no longer care about how the one who cares about Shirogane crossed the world.In short, we need to inform His Majesty the Eudemons King as soon as possible, and bring him back to the underworld—』
Finally, the Eudemons said in unison.
『This is the message from the elder. 』
Ulan Pok didn't answer right away, but was thinking about what was getting into trouble.
Yake understood what he was distressed about.Perhaps it would be much easier if the request was to kill them on the spot.Summoning an opponent that King Thunder Fang couldn't defeat, what can be done to bring him back to the underworld alive against his own will?If both of them fight with dragon bodies, they have to consider whether it will cause a large number of human beings to be sucked into the underworld.Moreover, what made Yake feel depressed the most was that he guessed who helped the silver dragon cross the two worlds.
There was once a man who used magic that summoned dragons from the underworld to the underworld.He won the duel that exhausted his magic power and strength, and pulled the dragon who was once the current dragon king into the sun world and made him his servant.If the character Yake or Doma thought of really intervened in the battle between the dragons, the resolution of the matter would only become more complicated and difficult.What is said to be captured and brought back to the underworld as soon as possible is even more a daydream within a daydream.
The world whose balance was disrupted by this chaos was saved because of the sacrifice of the former king who raised Ulanbok's grandfather.However, that man has not given up.He is still planning to reunite the divided world into one by taking advantage of the complete loss of balance.If the two worlds merge again, a catastrophe will occur that will wipe out all living things.
What that man wanted was revenge on the world that sacrificed the life of the dragon he loved.While wandering in the Underworld, he manipulated nations from within, manipulating war and death—in order to gain the destruction of the world.
The sorcerer Dandarion.He is the descendant of the holy king who established the third unified kingdom, the overlord of the chaos 350 years ago, and the grandfather of Arkenjell.Dandarion, who inherited the blood of the long-lived elves and the ancients with powerful magic power, has maintained the appearance of that time until now, living somewhere in the Yang world.Possessing the level of mana that is revered as the king of magicians, he not only becomes an enemy of the world again, but also acquires the words of a dragon whose power is comparable to the dragon king...
Youth realizes that the crisis of the world is by no means over.When he thought that Ulan Boke, who had experienced such bitter memories, would be involved in the battle that bears the fate of the world again, he could no longer keep silent.Yakanjiel called out the boy's name unconsciously.
"Ulan Pok...! Was he really summoned?"
Since they hadn't noticed the young man's existence until now, his cry made the five phantom beasts panic.
"Humanity!There are humans there! 』
"Selfish monkeys!It's all because of you, our king..."
"Quiet! Don't be rude to my pledger!"
The boy let out a quiet and majestic drink befitting the name of a king.
The women, who were stirring half-frantically like noisy hens, reacted strongly to what the boy called the "swearers".With intoxicated smiles on their faces, the girls flapped their wings and sang like birds one by one with crisp voices.
"The Vow of the Noble Soul"
"Holy Bond"
"Poignant Dream"
"Eternal Love"
"Our King's Oath King...! 』
"Whether it's human or phantom beast, all women are the same everywhere!"
Hearing the boy's last whispered exclamation, Yake hurriedly covered his mouth in order not to laugh out loud.
The human beings that Ulan was talking about were Crotia, who was extremely yearning for the romance between the King of Phantom Beasts and the Holy Queen.Just because she was not chosen, Ulan has been called the HOMO dragon until now.
『Forgive me for your ignorance.When we first met, our sisters were the high-ranking Eudemons of the two types called 'Habi'. 』
"Come across the underworld for thousands of miles, and travel in the yang qi, which is completely poisonous to phantom beasts, is really hard work."
Because he didn't know how to return the gift, Yake had to praise their hard work first.
"How did you find out where I am?"
『We have the ability to trace the yin energy left behind by you as a dragon. 』
"That's why the elders sent us to assist the one who searched for silver. 』
『The silver one was taken to the west opposite to His Majesty. 』
"Well, that was really helpful... eh? What happened to the wound on your face? Was it beaten by a human?"
"Yes.Although I chose to go on the road at night...』
"But I was discovered while sleeping in the bushes, the two younger sisters..."
"It's better to be locked in a cage and watched by humans, and finally go crazy to death..."
"That's why I cast fire magic on myself..."
"That's enough. Sorry to make you sad."
The Happys, who cried again at the thought of the tragic ending of the sisters, were surprised by the apology from the Phantom Beast King.
"How dare you do that!It is our honor to be able to help the king! 』
"O king with a gentle heart, please don't be saddened by the death of us phantom beasts. 』
"Anyone is fine, as long as there is one person who can reach the king's side, that's enough—we came here with such mental preparations." 』
"Thanks for your hard work. Continuous exposure to Yang Qi will make you suffer, right? Be my summoned beast, and everyone will report their names."
"I am Alcione. 』
『Merope, Maia, Dijta, Keira Aino. 』
Having won the honor of directly serving the Eudemons King, the Harpy sisters with radiant faces announced their names one by one.
The boy called out the true names of the hobbits with a mysterious pitch, and chanted a spell that did not exist in human magic.
"——You sisters, become servants under my name, and sleep in my blood. When you are summoned in my name, use your power to destroy my enemy——'Demon Covenant Launch'!"
At the same time as the spell was activated, Habi's body turned into a white ball of light, which disintegrated and turned into a beam of light flying towards the king's forehead.
The emblem of light that appeared in the middle of the boy's forehead accepted and absorbed their light, and then disappeared.
Yakenjal had seen a boy cast a spell before.At that time, it was the mermaid who became the summoned beast.Also, the upper body is a beautiful woman and the lower body is an alien. This accidental coincidence is really interesting.Just as he was thinking this way, the boy who flew out without wearing his shoes returned to the room.Almost with the momentum of bumping into him, he was hugged tightly by the boy.
"what happened?"
"...that pervert...! I thought it was solved forever!"
"I can understand your feelings. Things have become troublesome! As long as there is something I can help... Ulan?"
"For me, it doesn't matter if it's Skira* or Ramiya*, only that pervert can't do it anyway...!"
Embracing his lover tightly, the boy made a painful confession.
Because of the relative lack of knowledge about the types of phantom beasts, Yake couldn't imagine the appearance of Skila and Lamia.But Ulan's astonishing rejection of the silver dragon was fully conveyed to him.
—There are also women who can stand spiders and snakes, but can't stand lizards anyway.This should be the feeling, right?No, comparing metamorphosis with lizards, isn't it too sorry for lizards?
While muttering such things in his heart, Yake stroked the soft curly hair of the boy who was trembling with intense disgust.
Just as he was tidying up the boy's messy hair due to sleep, the boy left his embrace slightly, held that hand, and pulled it in front of him.After placing Yake's palm on his lips for a kiss, he pulled that hand to his cheek and covered his hand.
"why?"
"what?"
"As soon as I was touched by Yaconjell, for some reason, I felt so relieved that I wanted to cry."
In order to feel the touch and warmth of the young man's palm more clearly, Ulan Pok closed his eyes and muttered in a low voice.
Yake blushed to such an extent that he himself doubted whether he would spew fire.
"...Please. Don't say that out of the blue. You're making my heart jump out of my chest."
"It's the same for me. My chest is full of helplessness and distress. But even so, there will be an indescribable strange joy. Hearing the voice of Yakenjell, feeling the touch of Yakenjell's fingers, that's all. My spine would be shivering with excitement."
Even though he knew he would find out, Yakenjel couldn't restrain the trembling of his fingertips no matter what.Even so, due to the sadness of the elderly, he still couldn't help but want to be brave, and joked in a calm and smiling tone: "That's really incredible. I have neither a long neck nor wings, nor can I The tail that wraps around your body."
"Didn't I say it before? It's fine for Yakanjill to stay like Yakanjill. As long as Yakanjill is Yakanjill, it will give me supreme happiness."
There is something almost frightening in the pursuit expressed by the boy who has become talkative.
However, just because he knew that he was serious, Yake himself was far from being in a normal state.And at such a time, Thomas and Crotia, who would usually come to interrupt, were not there.Although Ulan Boke didn't do it on purpose, his words and deeds still unknowingly forced the youth to nowhere to retreat.
"It doesn't matter what you want to say after the reunion. Now is everything. Yakanjill is here. I just love Yakanjill. Besides, I don't need anything else... ..."
The young man who couldn't bear it anymore couldn't help covering Ulan's mouth.
"...I surrender, Ulan Pok. You have always been like this, always attacking me with love without showing weakness. Compared with the world, I chose you, and now I have no way out. There is no other way but to fall choose."
"The spell of Arconjell is the strongest, and has the power to bind the king of monsters to death. But dragons are stupid. So I want to hear that deadly spell over and over again. So please say it, say it again..." Looking up at the pledger, the Phantom Beast King wrapped his long platinum hair around his fingers and said in a low voice.
Feeling like being entangled by a child, Yake couldn't help but smiled wryly.
"That spell is a double-edged sword. It will make me give up everything. But, I think it's totally worth it to bind the dragon for the rest of my life-'I love you', Ulan Pok. My life has been bound by you."
The descendant of the ancient dragon hugged the beautiful young man he had obtained tightly in his arms, and even spoke greedy words.
"How nice it would be if I had the power to stop time at this moment."
What awaits the group of people who return to the base area is a difficult and busy daily life in another sense, which is different from the time of fighting that cannot be taken lightly.
Yakenjell, who is mainly in charge of personnel and government affairs, receives reports on various problems and economic conditions arising from operations from the deacon of Wangcheng and the chief secretary of the army, and gives various instructions.
During this time, secret letters from lords who gave up dealings with the kings of surrounding countries also increased.Yark's job was to read the submitted documents and diplomatic papers, make a proper written response and sign it.
Thomas, the supervisor in charge of the training of the soldiers, and other generals discussed the study of tactics and the problems after capturing the enemy's territory.All military practice, including actual combat, is within the scope of his work.
Crotia, who was in charge of preparing the rear support affairs, was in a mess because of the supply of manpower and materials.Conduct interviews with more and more volunteer soldiers and magicians who have come to seek refuge recently, and assign them to the generals on the basis of measuring their identities and suitability.In addition, it is also her job to replenish consumed weapons, armor, military rations, etc. and conduct quality inspections when purchasing.
And beside the monk Gais who served in the chapel in the king's city, he also attracted a large number of four-spirited believers.They entrusted him with an intercession to the sage Arkenjel who led the Holy Unity.There are also many businessmen who come to donate for investment purposes.So naturally, financial affairs became his job.
"The war between human beings is really troublesome!" After wandering around the city to pass the time because of boredom, the Eudemons King vented a mixture of sympathy and boredom.
Even that Maria Bella gathered together with the magicians in the general, busy with lectures on magic theory and research on new magic.
When the secretary and deacon who were responsible for submitting reports and writing documents stepped back, the boy walked to Yake who was facing the desk alone. He sat on the edge of the ebony desk and stared at the tapestry on the wall.
"In the case of dragons, you can solve it with a one-on-one fight."
"That's really enviable. If I can decide the ownership of the country with the kings of all countries, I really hope it will become like this. I am confident that I will not lose to anyone—hey, Document Mountain wants fall down!"
The young man who had finished speaking confidently hurriedly warned the boy who fell on his back on the table.
Ulan Pok stretched out his hand, stroked the young man's cheek with his fingertips, slid all the way down his jaw, and then stroked his lips as if playing a joke.
Yake lightly bit the finger that caressed himself as if he would never get tired of it.
"If you continue to make trouble like this, my work will never be finished. I originally wanted to free up the afternoon time for you, but I planned to solve them all in threes and fives!"
"I have nothing to do by myself."
"In this case, let's think about what to do together in the afternoon."
The young man who spoke with a smile frowned at the knock on the door.As if to confirm Yake's premonition, the deacon who came in reported the visit of the guests who would disrupt the work schedule.
The Huan Beast King was woken up by someone who asked for an interview early in the morning, while the commander-in-chief of the Holy United Army was interrupted from his morning work by an envoy sent from the Great Temple of Yan Dynasty located in the ancient battlefield.
Ever since Yakenjere purified the ancient battlefield where the "Yang" energy was distorted, he has formed an indissoluble bond with the Great Temple of Yan Dynasty.
During the last chaos, Yan Dai became the stage for the final battle between the two camps.The death of a large number of soldiers greatly distorted the atmosphere of the earth, and the souls of the dead soldiers continued their march.
Although the Great Temple of the Yan Dynasty was built to purify the souls of soldiers who fell on the ancient battlefield, none of the chief priests in the past has been able to correct the distortion of Qi.
It is the current Chief Priest Obitaru who reported the purification performed by the former paladin Arkenjell to the headquarters of the Four-Faced God Order in Jiaodupu, and urged the Pope to grant him a miracle certificate.Because of this, he later conveyed all the meaning of the religious order to Yakengel, who became the commander-in-chief of the Holy United Army.And it is precisely because of Obitaru's plan that the Holy Unity Army will receive the secret support of the religious order.
Although Obitaru was once defeated in the struggle for the throne of the next pope, and was moved from the headquarters to the Great Temple of Fuku, but now with the help of Yakengel, he is planning how to return to the ranks of pope candidates again.
His ambitions are naturally clear to Arkenjel, so everyone is using each other for each other's benefit.
Through the Great Temple of Yan Dynasty, Yakenjere received a personal letter from the Pope for the first time.
After lunch, Yaconjal called an emergency meeting of the leading figures of the army.
In the high-ceilinged hall that was used as a cafeteria, rectangular plain wooden tables were lined up against the walls on both sides.Because there were no individual chairs, people who were called to work overtime sat on wooden benches that didn't even have a backrest.
The dogs that had been raised in the royal city since the days of the lords were still wandering around looking for leftovers from lunch after the tables had been cleared.However, as soon as the Phenomenal Beast King, who hadn't shown up at lunch, entered the hall, the dogs scrambled to escape in extreme terror.
Thomas, who had finished his lunch on the training ground, came to the hall with other generals and his subordinates. He watched the escaped dog off, and couldn't help joking about the boy.
"What's going on, Your Majesty the Phantom Beast King! You seem to be completely unpopular among beast dogs!"
"Maybe they think they will be eaten? Those guys have very good noses, and they can immediately notice the difference between me and humans."
"That's right! But when we run out of military rations and are starving, we humans will also eat dog meat. They can be regarded as emergency food during the siege!"
The men behind the big man who had fought fiercely during the mercenary period laughed together.Only the jokes of Dorma, who also survived the difficult battle, can trigger their hearty laughter.
The boy looked up at the big man silently.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. As long as I'm here, Yake won't be in a situation where he has to eat dog meat."
Ulan Pok nodded as if he felt that the other party should answer this way for granted.
His nonchalant glance sent a chill down the back of even General Thomas, who was known for his bravery.
——If Yake is put in the predicament of eating dog meat, maybe I will be eaten by this guy!
Feeling the threat of inhuman aura contained in the other party's eyes, Thomas sighed in his heart.
Unaware that he threatened his friend, Ulan's interest went straight to the person sitting next to the head coach Yakenjel.
Crotia and Maria Bella were already seated at the table placed on the table at the front of the hall.
The girl raised a hand to the boy as a signal, and pointed to the space between herself and Yake with her finger.But Ulan Boke ignored the girl's actions and went straight to the man sitting next to Yake.He jumped onto the table lightly like this, supported the tabletop covered with white tablecloth with one hand, and said in a friendly voice to the pale-faced and lower-headed guests.
"I haven't seen you for two years. Are you still alive and tenacious? You should know that when you stay with Yake, you should be careful about your words and deeds. Dragon has a very good memory. I will never forget what you did matter."
The one who visited the royal city with the Pope's personal letter was Kaningam, the head of the Holy Knights who served the high priest Obitaru.As a teacher of Yake, he once again clearly bathed in the murderous aura of an angry dragon at a super close distance.
Concerned about the face of the hapless Knight Commander, Arkenjell deliberately pretended not to notice his trembling and dripping cold sweat.However, Thomas, like Ulan, had no intention of forgiving Kaningam for what he had done to Yak.Unlike a reasonable friend, he didn't show any respect for the other person's face.
"Boy Ulan, don't bully the elderly so happily! If they recite it all at once, it will be troublesome to deal with the aftermath!"
"Your Majesty the Eudemons King, General Thomas. Please refrain from speaking ill of the envoy sent by the High Priest. The meeting is about to begin, please sit down."
At this point, Yake, who finally couldn't stand it anymore, reminded the two happy people.Because if even Thomas starts to go berserk, he won't be able to set an example for others.No matter what feelings one's own side has towards Kaningam, after all, it is the messenger with the Pope's handwritten letter. If he is rude to him, it will still be a problem for the army supported by the church.
The boy who proudly looked down at the knight leader snorted softly.In order for the opponent to see clearly, he spread the wings on his back, flew through the air and landed on the opposite side of the table.
Crotia, whose eyes immediately turned into stars, whispered eagerly to the boy who pulled out the chair and sat down.
"Ulan, you are so awesome~ (heart)"
"Thank you for the compliment."
Yake, who supported his forehead with one hand, gently bumped the expressionless boy with his elbow.
After everyone arrived, the waiter poured wine into everyone's glasses.A number of wine bottles were specially placed in front of Ulan Boke.
After roughly confirming the attendees, the commander-in-chief of the Holy United Army sat up straight and spoke in a loud voice.
"The purpose of calling you here this time is to show you the personal letter from His Holiness Pope Ni of the Four-Signed God Religion to our Holy Unity Army."
Immediately, cheers erupted among the participants.
The dream of most of the people sitting here is to become a legion recognized by the religious order.Because in this way, there is hope for both material and spiritual support from believers in the whole mainland.And it can also bring a glimmer of hope to believers across the continent who are exhausted due to the continuous war.
In order to embody the idea that the four-phase gods bring harmony and balance to the world, the legion that fights with the goal of unifying the whole land-this is the origin of the name of the Holy Unity Army.
Of course, it is impossible for all soldiers to have exactly the same wishes.Ambition and dreams, revenge, blah blah blah.The number of soldiers can be directly proportional to the number of reasons.Just looking at the mercenaries who swarmed in, one can know that there are very few people who deeply believe in and sincerely sing the will of God.Even the commander-in-chief, Arkenjell, joined hands with the ambitious Dorma only for the sole purpose of making Yangjie settle down as soon as possible and solving the troubles of the Phantom Beast King.
But no matter what the individual's reasons for joining the war are, everyone's common goal is to look forward to the early end of the chaos from the heart.
"It's too early to be happy now. We just got a personal letter from His Majesty who has power comparable to that of a country. The letter hopes that I can visit the headquarters of the religious order in the capital. The appointment of the new position of commander-in-chief of the Holy Knight Order. This should be regarded as a tactful recognition, right?"
The hall was immediately filled with disappointed and restless noises.
"Boring!" The female general who took the case looked at Yake and shouted: "If we want to go to the side of Yanxia, we have to defeat Fujikyoto and Aisakapu first. If we break through two of the three kingdoms, The unification of the whole land is just around the corner! At that time, what good will it be for us to be recognized by the religious order again? It’s just an extra object of favor. Those who fought, were injured, and died are all our soldiers. Since those Guys are going to sit on the sidelines until the general situation becomes clear, why should we accept their approval?! If there is no benefit, of course we can only ignore the verbal agreement with the bystanders!"
People who, like her, advocate keeping a distance from the religious order, also shouted their sympathy.
The expression of the head of the Kaningam Paladin immediately became very ugly.
Beside him, General Thomas who nodded vigorously spoke.
"I also think that General Sonia's opinion is very correct. Considering the distance between the religious capital where the headquarters of the religious order is located and Aisaka, we are not incomprehensible for His Majesty's cautious attitude. If Aisaka attacks us because of aiding us , isn’t the gain outweigh the loss?”
"In that case, believers in neighboring countries will not remain silent, right?"
"As far as believers are concerned, how much can we expect from the mob of civilians? Even if they are outnumbered, it depends on whether those guys can survive the attack of the Fengsaka army until they gather more numbers. But then When will we wait? Besides, it is said that Aisaka has many high-level magicians. There are almost no offensive spells in holy magic!"
After being sharply criticized by General Thomas, Kaningam seemed to want to refute, but the current atmosphere is really not suitable for guests to intervene in military discussions.
The captain of the knights of the extinct Kanagawa circle raised his hand, asking for permission to speak.
"For the personal letter written by the Pope this time, I think it is an adventure on the part of the church. Although it is a bit rude to say so, the Holy Unity Army has indeed become an unexpected powerful force for the countries that want to unify the continent. Therefore, it is taken for granted that if we continue to strengthen it, it will be difficult to control. In order to prevent the increase of volunteers, there may continue to be countries like Fujikyodo that suppress the believers of the Four Gods in the future. Therefore, the religious order probably I want to raise the status of Mr. Arkenjell and hint to the countries that if we continue to suppress the believers, we will simply support the Holy Unity Army. If you don’t want to be the enemy of the forces supported by the believers in the whole land , stop the suppression of believers immediately—that’s it.”
"Does that mean we are going to be used as checkers!"
Several soldiers stood up angrily.
Yake raised a hand and stopped them with a calm smile.
"Calm down! Getting angry just by guessing won't solve any problems. Make good use of what you can. This is the inevitable rule of survival in troubled times. Even the church is no exception, and of course we are the same. This is, His Holiness the Pope If we keep watching from the sidelines like this, we will be very troubled. Because the last thing I want to see is a country that has survived, repeated small-scale conflicts, and endless troubled times. I hope that there are still believers in the whole land When you have spare energy, decide the overall situation in one go. If you can’t do this, as General Sonia said, there is no benefit for us to establish a relationship with the religious order.”
"Yarkenjell! You, who were once a paladin, are so disrespectful to your majesty, what do you mean...!"
Kaningam, whose face was flushed, jumped up, with the momentum of wanting to grab the other party's collar, and yelled at the young commander-in-chief of the Holy United Army.
On the spot a glass of wine flew towards his face.
"Too loud. Don't yell in monkey language I can't understand."
The Eudemons King, who crossed Yake's head and punished him mercilessly, said coldly, and drank the wine directly from the bottle.
The boy's harsh words and deeds won the enthusiastic support of the generals and knights present.In the process of ridiculing laughter, clapping hands, and whistles one after another, Kaningam, who was already extremely ashamed, pushed away Yake's stop and left the hall.
Crotia smiled and comforted Yake who was holding his head.
"Isn't that good? Compared to the fact that all the content of the military meeting was leaked to Priest Obitaru...Ah, even Yake was splashed with wine."
The girl hurriedly ordered the waiter to quickly bring dry towels and replacement cups.
After Doma moved the seat over, he praised the boy with a smile on his face: "Good job, Ulan boy! It's really lightning speed! It's a good medicine for that damn old man! That guy, three words How about the Pope, who doesn’t leave the church, just knows how to put on airs in front of us, I have long wanted to teach him a lesson!"
"Really. I knew that he should have been killed."
There were enthusiastic cheers all around.
The Phantom Beast King, who put the empty bottle back on the table, cast an unsatisfactory gaze at the entrance where the Knight Leader disappeared.
Yake dried the hair that was splashed with wine, wiped the wine stains on his shirt with a dry towel, and sighed at the conversation between the two.
"Ulan. I am very grateful for your kindness, but this kindness is enough. So, where did the conversation go..."
"It's actually very simple to solve that problem. I'll change back to the dragon body and bring Yakenjell to the headquarters of the religious order in the religious capital."
The once noisy hall was once again silent.
"It just so happens that I'm going to the west to do business. Although I don't know what kind of ceremony will be held at the headquarters of the religious group, if it's just a round trip, ten days will be enough."
The boy was reaching out to another bottle, but the strange atmosphere of silence confused him, so he turned his gaze to the commander-in-chief of the Holy United Army.
"Could it be possible that the handwritten letter also said that it's not Yakenjell alone, but the whole army is coming?"
That's right, it turns out that there is still this hand-everyone had this idea at the same time.
The reappearance of the king of monsters and the personal letter from the Pope.It can only be considered as the royal intention of the four-phase god, and it fits seamlessly.
So starting from the broad daylight, the military meeting turned into a banquet early.
