We Live in Dragon's Peak

Betrayal

"Oh my God!!"

I knew that Nguyen was following the orders of the Glossy Martial God Teyu to explore the trend of the Emperor Venerable Mansion and the Ethnide.

The Belisarius Empire court, which was concerned with the Emperor's Palace, which had begun its activities by going too far, was using Nguyen to inspect the interior and was trying to stop any further troublesome activities.

but.....

Why, General!

We need to kill him!?

And now, at this time!

Even for us, the presence of the Imperial Venerable Mansion and the Ethnide was annoying.

I promised Fairy Demon King Kusharira that I would somehow get rid of the Divine Clan from the buffer zone controlled by the Winged Clan. Otherwise, we will not be able to rescue the captive Louilala or Tris.

Besides, what I fear most of all is that I do not want the god tribe to develop a path that crosses the Heavenly Mountains.

To the west of the Celestial Mountains, the cultural sphere of the human race extends. It is the home of the Shrine Religion, and there is the Shrine City where the Shrine Queen sits.

Therefore, I don't want to give the demon tribe the means to cross the Heavenly Mountains.

But not now.

Even if it was a confusing opponent.

Even if it was a strong opponent that might eventually be in conflict.

Ethnide commands the Imperial Palace with powerful force against ancestral giants. On the contrary, if Ethnide could overwhelm the ancestral giants, we could safely retreat.

And yet!

In response to my scream, Nguyen grinned behind his back.

“I've been waiting for you. This is a great opportunity."

"Gwen, Gwen..."

Pierced by a sword through her throat, Ethnide spits blood as she tries to grab Nguyen from behind. However, if you move a little, the wound on your neck will spread. That's why Ethnide's gaze doesn't reach the back of Nguyen.

Even so, only the eyeball moves with anger.

Nguyen said, lightly parrying the murderous aura and anger of Ethnide.

"Indeed, the [former] general's force was a threat." I can't beat you like that. "

What's your name? It's disrespectful!

While shedding fresh blood through his neck and mouth, Ethnid still expresses his anger at Nguyen's words.

But Nguyen kept on doing what he wanted.

"Oh, it seems that you didn't know about the former general." You were already dismissed when you left home with the Emperor Mansion. However, even though he has been removed from the rank of general, he has not yet been stripped of his status as an aristocrat. That's why I went on a business trip at the behest of Glossy Martial God. "

"You! You were working for that fox!"

If you were a god general, you would certainly know the Glossy Martial God Teyu. And that she is the head of the House of Lords and is in a position to control the injustices and problems of the nobility.

Ethnid immediately discovered Nguyen's identity, saying that he had moved under the command of the Glossy Martial God.

"Oh, oh my..."

Without worrying about opening the neck wound, Ethnide tries to look back at Nguyen. However, whether it was pain or whether my body was not responding well to life-threatening situations, my shoulders were only slightly shaken.

"No, that's it." I couldn't stand up to the ex-general. So, I was hoping to use you to eliminate the former general? "

Look at me, Nguyen.

"However, the opportunity to come here was great." When the former general focused on something with his whole body. That was an opportunity. "

If you were a god general and had a power comparable to that of a martial arts god, you would have been sensitive to the murderous aura directed at you even as you immerse yourself in your own battle.

However, the relative ancestral giants regenerate quickly with a lively attack.

That's why Ethnid focused all his power and attention on defeating the giants and tearing down the underground ruins.

And Nguyen didn't miss that moment.

"Oh, my God...!"

Pretend to be, and vomit a bloody clot of ethnicity.

Whoever looked at it was fatally wounded.

When Nguyen swung his sword to the side, his head fell. Even so, if you pull your sword out of your neck, there will be a lot of blood and Ethnicity will be desperate.

Ethnide herself must have known he was going to die.

That's why I was trying to look back to Nguyen with anger, moving my body as hard as I could.

"I... for the sake of the Emperor..." for the... prestige of the Emperor..... "

"Oh, that's a big mistake, ex-general."

”W-what...?”

"In conclusion, you just scratched the plan of the Emperor." While Emperor carefully proceeded with his plan, you moved on your own, giving extra information to outsiders. "

Nguyen smiled bitterly at us.

Previously, when we travelled on the edge of the Belisarius Empire.

After being chased by a group of suspicious Imperial Venerable Mansions, we ran to a lake with an island called the Heavenly Clan's Paradise just before we broke through the army's sealing net.

But the island that was supposed to be there didn't exist for some reason.

That's what Nguyen is talking about.

"I made a break in the plan that the Emperor was carefully pursuing." That's why you barked at the Emperor's prestige. "

……

Besides, Nguyen changed his signs and unleashed a rage that didn't look like the songwriter.

"You're better at militancy than Master Wender?" Say something stupid! "

Perhaps Nguyen's anger swallowed his sword tip, and the pain of death distorted his face.

Nguyen glared at the bitter ethnide with angry eyes.

"In terms of loyalty, merit, and even force, Wendell was far superior to you." That's why he was awarded the position by the recommendation of all Musketeers! Is it permissible to compare that with your strength and name that person!! "

Saying that, Nguyen finally swung away his sword.

As he took his fingers, the head of Jesus and Ethnide fell to the ground.

"Ahhh. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The Emperor Venerable Mansion screamed.

Until now, the gods, who couldn't understand what had happened, had finally returned to their senses after seeing their superiors die.

Nguyen, you!

The man who jumped into Nguyen's pocket at a speed made the Divine Sword flash.

Nguyen's torso, which was focused on Ethnide, was removed.

And it was in everyone's eyes.

But right after that.

Nguyen's figure, which was supposed to have been slashed, shakes like a sun flame.

I'm hallucinating!

As I shouted.

It was Nguyen's hallucination that the Divine Man slashed.

And Nguyen himself.

A building on the side of a street where monsters come and go. On the roof, Gina and I stood with a spare expression.

With a mixed expression of despair, amazement, and pain, she holds the neck of the Esnide in her hand.

Gina! Could it be that you could use hallucination magic as well as divine magic to deceive the signs!?

Gina works for Nguyen.

Nguyen's attainment of his goal represented his true identity.

I took the place of Nguyen, who was concentrating on Ethnide, to watch his surroundings and save the day.

That's why, you guys.

Doing so, Nguyen and the singer smile.

"We've reached our goal." All you have to do is tear down the underground ruins on your own, retreat, and do as you please. We'll let you go on your own, too. "

That said, Nguyen said a powerful word.

Cross it

In the blink of an eye, Nguyen and Gina were separated from each other.

After a few more powerful words, the two disappeared into the deep darkness.

Nguyen!!

My cry of anger only echoed in vain in the underground space.

"Oh, my God."

Mistral didn't seem to be able to cope with the impact either. I looked beyond the darkness with regret.

The darkness gradually increased the degree of erosion.

When the Ethnide, which was practicing the Divine Art of Light, was defeated, the lights that had illuminated a wide area began to disappear.

Louiseine, let's put the moon down.

Yes. It's the magic spell Moonlight , right?

Louisseigne and Madeline make a greeting.

"Titans! Titans are getting angry again!!"

The Divine Clan screams.

Neither Ethnid's death nor Nguyen's betrayal is relevant to the monsters or the giants of the ancestral race. Just because he didn't know about this situation, the giant let out a crimson rage that had accumulated in his mouth.

Nyaah!

Nimir roared.

The roar of the Snow Dragon, which turned everything into white ashes, bumped into a mass of giants' fury. And they exploded in the air to offset each other's power.

"Damn it! Thank you, General Ethnid!"

Gwen!!

The gods turn their anger towards the traitors Nguyen and Gina, while showing agitation at the giants' impatience.

But the two of them had already left the place.

I'm going after those two!

The Imperial Venerables begin to descend the sloping boulevard of the Ethnid enemy.

But there was a horde of monsters waiting.

Ethnid's divine art of light suddenly loses its power. On the contrary, the darkness was approaching us at the same speed.

The monsters with black rockskin filled the boulevard lit by the slightly inherited light into the darkness.

What about the magic of Louis Seine and Madeline-sama!?

The two of them continued to perform a long greeting. It looks like the spell "moonlight" isn't complete yet.

"Neemia, grow up. If only I could pull back."

But you can't even ride the God Clan?

Even though there were some sacrifices, the Emperor Venerable Mansion still had more than twenty. Even if Niemia grew up, she couldn't fly with all of them on the boulders.

So, we're the only ones who can retreat safely?

No, I can't do that!

Even if they were a nuisance, they are desperate people to live now.

I was prepared if it developed from a conflict into a life-threatening conflict. But not now.

If we abandon them here, they'll definitely kill us first, monsters or giants. If we knew that, how could we retreat safely?

The Divine Clans lunged into the horde of monsters in anger. Then, he gradually unleashed Divine Magic and tried to pave the way.

But I can't break through that horde of monsters to the gods who have lost their commander, Ethnid, and forgotten me in their wrath against Nguyen and the others!

Besides, the giants behind them didn't look on conveniently.

The giant leapt out of the back of the pillar as he shook the ground. And yet again, she began to accumulate magic power in her mouth, abandoning her bright red aura.

"If we stop here, Ernea, we'll get involved!"

"Mistral, but...!"

If the safety of our family is to be paramount, the Divine will abandon us.

The horde of monsters is not ready to take on the giants of the ancestral race yet!

Suppose that ancestral race had such terrible strength as the Giant Demon King, Charlotte, and Kusharilla. Even if we can fight, we won't be safe.

Besides, just in case, we'd become monsters too.

"Well then, after all, we're all alone..."

Abandoning the people in the Imperial Palace?

You just have to do the same thing over and over again!

My instinct is to run away with my family right now.

But something is killing me. [M]

What the hell is trying to stop me?

I care most about my family. [M]

Everyone I love.

Everyone who loves me.

An important presence without interchanges.

Well, I can't make up my mind even though I'm putting everyone I care about at risk.

Suddenly, my gaze turned to the Divine Clans.

They were defeating an onslaught of monsters and trying to track down Nguyen and Gina, who had fled with the head of Ethnide.

What is important to them?

You were the commander, Ethnid?

That's why you're so angry.

The Emperor of the Belisarius Empire?

That's why you're risking your life by leaving your homeland and going on expeditions to this place.

Is that all?

What do you think they care about?

No, I don't think so.

The Emperor Venerable Mansion was an idea that worshipped the Emperor. They've gone too far to believe, but it must have been a simple idea.

Then, thinking about why I became obsessed with such an idea, I think that it is the same as us people.

They're also anxious. I want someone to help me.

They asked the Emperor for help, just as we believed in the goddess of creation.

For my future. For your loved ones. For your loved ones.

Yes, they have loved, loved, and cherished people.

The Belisarius Empire must have a lot of prayers waiting for them to return.

Yeah, that's why.

When Mistral asks, I say, "What?"

The Divine Clan is one of those who desperately live in this world.

That's true, isn't it?

"Yeah, that's why I can't abandon you." No, we can't abandon them. ”

Finally, I know who I was caught in my heart.

"As people involved in the world, we can't remain indifferent to the lives that are about to be lost."

Yes. We did not come here to kill the Imperial Palace. I'm trying to get rid of this land because I'm in the way, but I wasn't trying to take my life.

Of course, I also considered the possibility that this might happen in some cases.

But not now.

They, too, are desperate to survive.

The ultimate goal may not be the same.

If we abandon the people who are desperately trying to survive, then we will be the first to defend ourselves.

Isn't that going to deny what Ryujin-sama and Micheira admitted to doing so far?

Are we going to be branded disqualified?

We've worked so hard for the people we've been involved with.

I was praised and recognized for it.

If you run here to protect yourself from our adorable nature, you will destroy our past deeds!

"I'm sorry, guys, but I can't leave you alone!!"

Everyone smiles bitterly at me for explaining their thoughts in a short time.
