Untitled Part 127

The supplies inside were running out.

The same could be said about the magic power built into the wall and the soldiers' strength inside.

Looking at the evident variables, it wasn't bullshit to consider it possible to attack within the day. Although we took a portion of the troops, the power left at Castle Rock proved to be more than enough.

The infrastructure we had built up so far proved that.

Regardless of whether it was the State or the Republic, one side would suffer significant damage from this battle.

Perhaps it was a situation where we could see the end of the war. It was far too evident in terms of power that our forces had the advantage.

However, it was inevitable for my steps to become sober.

'We have to win.'

It was a fight that we couldn't lose.

We couldn't lose the battle at Castle Rock and fail to stop the Eberian army from advancing to the capital. We've already expected many allies to lose their lives.

"Let's attack!"

"I'm curious if there's even a need to do this. If it goes wrong, not only Castle Rock but Dawan as well will be in danger."

"Do you have to keep complaining like that? It's already spilled milk."

"I'm not saying this for nothing, Wi-ran. Castle Rock is definitely at its limit. It was only because Yuno Kasugano, me, and Park Yeon-joo were here that the castle made it through so much. It was the balance that three out of Eight Seats of the State were keeping together. I admit that Lee Kiyoung is an outstanding person, but this a huge gamble. These women can't afford to hold anymore. They won't be able to keep the barrier up another day, no, two days. The same goes for the Dawan Front. But because you were there, it was pushed only that much..."

"Stop babbling. It's embarrassing for a man to keep doing that. Do you think we don't know it's a gamble? I'm doing this because it is the only thing that can reverse the current situation. The Dawan Front had already collapsed anyway. I know best since I was there. It felt like a waste to invest troops... Sons of bitches..."

"But..."

"What do you mean, but? I regret getting on board with you whenever you're babbling like this."

"Same here."

"Honestly, you also doubt the ability of the Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung, right?"

"..."

"The results are telling us otherwise. Things are moving the way Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung wants, plus the fact that he took you out of Castle Rock. It's also true that we are currently entering Laios. It was because of something like a pheromone potion he gave that made Mercenary Queen calm down. Even if we are also part of the State's Eight Seats, it's 100 times better to think and move like them than to work our asses off running away and enduring. More than anything..."

"..."

"Who knew the Republic's troops would move, too? Have you ever imagined something like this?"

"That's why I'm feeling nervous."

"Well. I don't know what happened, but the Republic's priests seem to be loyal to the Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung. It's understandable for the priests to be scared as the opponent is said to be a demon summoner."

"Is he?"

"You don't have to worry too much. We only have to do what we are ordered to do. You have enough magic power left, right?"
