67

With the exception of a few remaining wounded, the rest were looking at something as if they had never seen it.

And it wasn’t difficult to find something.

In the center of the interior, a man emitting an unknown light was concentrating with his eyes closed.

“Who is that sleeping…?”

“The one you must see for yourself is him.”

Only then did the king understand.

What was the source of that hopeful expression that the doctor had?

The light that had stayed around the man disappeared, and the man suddenly sat down.

Even from this distance, it was clear that he was suffering enough to see at a glance.

‘What the hell…’

This was not all.

The moans of the remaining wounded, which had been heard a while ago, had subsided as if it had ever happened.

“Who the hell is that…who is that?”

“It looks like a lion.”

“lion?”

“The messenger of God…?”

Normally, I would have ignored it as a nonsensical sound, but the sight I saw with my own eyes made it impossible to ignore it.

“Is this the one who healed our soldiers now?”

“you’re right. But… I feel like I feel the pain they feel when I treat others.”

“…What? Does that make sense?”

If what the doctor said was true, it was that he felt the pain felt by the soldiers who were now treated.

Not one, not a few, but hundreds of suffering.

“…not just a messenger of God.”

“Yes?”

“It will be the practice of penance.”

“…ah!”

At the king’s words, the medical officer also showed an expression that clearly understood.

A messenger from the gods who came down to asceticism.

If it wasn’t for this, it wouldn’t make sense.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”

He was expressing his joy in forgetting the current situation and welcoming a new hope, but an urgent voice calling for the king was heard from outside.

“What’s going on?”

“…in front of the castle. The beasts have arrived.”

“…”

However, even if the wounded were treated, how much meaning would it be?

In such a situation, I thought that I might be subjected to torture of hope.

Obviously, the ability to heal the wounded, and even heal several people in an instant, was a tremendous ability that I could not even imagine.

But, what if there is no one to fight against?

It’s cold-hearted, but if such a situation came, the outcome would be obvious even if it didn’t happen.

“How long do you think it will take the beasts to get to the front of the castle?”

“I think it will arrive in about 30 minutes.”

But he is the king.

I couldn’t give up under any circumstances.

The king turned to the man in the center with a determined expression.

The only person who brought hope to a situation where no light could be seen.

“…?”

Seonghyeon, who was still unable to control the pain, looked up at the man who approached him.

It seemed that he was not an ordinary person, as the aura and appearance that he felt from the clothes was clearly different from others.

“Lion. The attack of the beasts has reached right in front of you.”

“who are you?”

“The Palian Empire, the owner of this land that is now a kingdom, call me Palian Aro.”

“ah…”

Seonghyeon immediately tried to be polite at the word king.

But Aro actively dissuaded Seonghyeon like that.

“You don’t have to be polite. Since ancient times, messengers of the gods have had the same rights and status as kings and even emperors. It would be nice if you could speak comfortably.”

“How are things now?”

It was Seonghyeon who had no intention of making things easier, and Aroh didn’t care, so he immediately answered Seonghyeon’s question.

“After about 20 minutes, the beasts will arrive in front of the gate.”

“How many, how many?”

“Enough… two thousand.”

The number of soldiers left now is 1,000.

In fact, even without Seong-hyun, the number would have been less than 100.

“I think I’ve heard that there are more executives than that, but how are they?”

“They… are in a tough state.”

Aro’s expression hardened indefinitely.

Their condition was much worse than that of ordinary soldiers.

“I’ve been poisoned by a mysterious poison… I’m unconscious.”

“Let’s go. to where they are.”

“Are you okay? When I heard about it, they said that they felt the pain of others instead…”

“You have to be patient.”

be patient

It was a very short word, but Aro felt that Seonghyeon was also seeing hope in the current desperate situation.

“I will guide you.”

The medical officer himself came forward and offered to guide the way.

He was about to leave the room with Aro, but the eyes of the soldiers looking at him were unusual.

“…”

They didn’t say anything.

There was no such thing as the usual pledge of allegiance.

No matter how much the wounds and vitality were restored, the mental part would not have recovered.

“The soldiers know this. who you are.”

They were never to meet again.

It was a door that I entered only for quests and rewards for abilities, but it was as if I had become a single person living here.

“Now… you must go. We don’t have much time.”

The soldiers maintained that posture until Seonghyeon and Aro left the room.

The officers were not far away.

“You should avoid touching the poisoned area. It has been confirmed to be contagious.”

“I see.”

Upon entering the room, there were people who had lost consciousness and a person caring for them one by one.

“Pe, Felian’s…”

“It’s done. What is the status?”

“It’s stopping the poison from spreading, but that’s all.”

The faces of the officers were all dark.

No matter how many ordinary soldiers there are, if there is no one to command them, they are useless.

“As you can see, this is the situation.”

“Can I see you?”

“…Of course.”

The eyes of the other doctors looking at Seonghyeon were suspicious and vigilant, but since the person who came with him was the king of this country, he could not speak directly.

“No need to be vigilant.”

Seong-hyeon turned to one of the unconscious people first and checked the condition.

‘yes?’

I thought he was in a serious condition just because he was unconscious, but the poison I felt was so crude compared to when I was treating Jin-seok’s parents the other day.

“I think we can detoxify this kind of poison.”

The doctors began to murmur at the words that they could decipher it.

I’ve been searching for an antidote for over a fortnight, but I haven’t been able to find any clues.

But how can someone who suddenly appeared can decipher it?

“Everyone, put away your doubts and vigilance. He is a messenger of God.”

“God… a lion?”

“All wounded ordinary soldiers, have mercy on them, the messenger of the gods, do not doubt.”

No matter how much the king said, it was hard to believe.

Until Seong-hyun purifies their poison.

“This is the end.”

After using Purification for a short time, their poison was completely purified.

‘I have several dozen times more leeway than ordinary soldiers.’

Seonghyeon immediately purified the poison of all personnel and even used healing.

“…?”

Originally, the body was basically trained, so when they used healing, everyone came to their senses.

“How did this…how…”

“I don’t have time to explain the situation. Everyone is waiting.”

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty…!”

“The beasts came right in front of me. Are you going to just sit like this?”

“…Your Majesty, but there are no more left to fight.”

“no.”

Aro turned his back after a short reply.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Aro, and Aro slowly opened the door.

“For Felian!”

Outside the door, hundreds, or even the last number that the executives who had just woken up remember, were waiting, kneeling on one knee.

“I, they must be…!”

“How did this happen…”

Their last memories were tragic.

Of the 3,000 soldiers, only 1,000 soldiers, and all of them were wounded, and the last battle returned.

The 3,000 beasts were the same number, but each one had a different power, so actually annihilating those 3,000 was a miracle.

I thought I had burned the last flame like that, but at that time, all the soldiers were back.

Just like before the battle.

“It’s only been 15 minutes for the beasts to reach the front of the castle. get up The time for revenge has come.”

“…Yes! your majesty!”

When Aro’s name fell, all the executives began to put on the equipment they had taken off.

in front of the gate.

Those who stood guard began to shout at the appearance of foreign objects filling the horizon with the setting sun.

“The beast, the beast has appeared!”

At first glance, the number of demonic beasts seemed to be twice as large as the number of soldiers remaining in the castle now.

“…he came. Prepare for battle.”

Everyone felt it.

Whether this battle is victory or defeat.

that it will be the last battle.

Seonghyeon, who had something to prepare in advance, joined Aro later.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes, it’s over.”

Seonghyeon gave each of the potions he had made to the executives one by one, and used the remaining potions to prepare in advance.

“If it wasn’t for you… I wouldn’t have seen a scene like this.”

“Aren’t you watching?”

“Haha, that’s right. It’s been less than a day since I’ve seen you, but if this battle ends in victory, I’ll give you the title of Founder.”

“Haha, thank you.”

After finishing his words, Aro gazed at the beasts of the horizon that came rushing in.

Obviously, the number of soldiers to deal with was infinitely insufficient, but the presence of Seong-hyeon, the returned executives, and the king of the kingdom of Pelian who directly participated in the battle joined the battlefield and their morale was more overwhelming than ever.

I hope no one’s voice will be heard for a few minutes.

Before long, the beasts arrived right in front of the castle.

At other times, it would have fired an arrow, but now there are no arrows left to fly.

Aro, who soon realized that the battle was imminent, looked down at the soldiers looking up at him from behind and said,

“You are the proud defenders of the pelian.”

A title of guardian awarded directly by the king.

Its weight was higher and heavier than anything else.

“Today’s battle will end with our victory, and future generations will record and remember you as the guardians of Felian.”

““Wow!”

In the sky at sunset, shouts filled with the morale of the soldiers resounded.

But as if ridiculing the shout, a much louder roar overshadowed it.

“Aww!”

It was the roar of the beasts.

It was heard with a fierce momentum, as if ridiculing a person harboring a trivial morale.

If it was the same as before, it would have looked a little startled, but not as much as it is now.

No one was moved by the roar of the beast.

Again, they roared with a louder shout, showing their will not to back down at all.

“I will not order you to go to today’s battle.”

“…”

Everyone looked at Aro with a slightly puzzled expression, wondering what he meant by Aro’s words.

“I will tell you to go.”

At the king’s words that he would go directly to the battlefield, their morale rose as if they were on the verge of victory.
