Baektap Relics (4)
Why, why, why!
Ding ding ding!
“What the hell is going on!”
“Suddenly an emergency alert?”
A large crowd of people gathered around the Baektap military camp.
It was because of the white pagoda that suddenly turned brightly lit.
To be exact, only the first floor was illuminated, but that alone was enough to startle people.
“This time. I will hold you responsible. Somehow.”
“Baektap. It’s open. That. It’s ours.”
“What are you going to do about this?”
In particular, the natives who had been guarding the Baektap for generations were protesting loudly to the Red Knight who was standing guard.
It was so frustrating to see him constantly talking back to me because he couldn’t even speak the imperial language properly.
‘Damn it! Who would have thought that a mystery would open up there!’
When I checked and they said there was no official document, I felt like I was already losing my mind when I thought about the disciplinary action that would come later.
But it’s something you shouldn’t show.
The Red Knight shouted, hitting the floor hard with his sword.
“Everyone, be quiet! We are currently investigating the details, so please refrain from doing so until a separate announcement is made!”
When other knights who had heard the situation came running in a hurry and drew their swords one after another, the natives hesitated and retreated.
But his eyes were filled with venom because he didn’t truly admit it.
Some even tried to grab a sling or feed an arrow onto a bow.
A moment of imminent danger, when a collision could break out at any moment.
“Clean everything up.”
Suddenly a chilling voice was heard in the ears of the natives.
and,
Doo doo doo doo-!
A tremendous sound of horse hooves was heard, shaking the earth.
“That, that!”
“You devils! You devils!”
There was only one being that the natives called the devil.
Black iron belt.
About ten cavalry groups of five each attempted to approach with their long spears extended.
The natives were indiscriminately trampled.
Even if they had a defensive formation, they could not overcome the charging power of the cavalry.

Boom! Boom bang bang!
“Kak, father!!”
“Tsuhana!”
The camp was torn apart in a haphazard manner, with a sound like the crash of a hammer.
By the time the screams of the natives had died down, the area around the White Tower had been taken over by the Black Iron Corps.
“From now on, this place will be protected by our Black Iron Corps. All White Tower Tribe members who attempted to rebel will be detained in one place and monitored.”
“Jeonmyeong!”
“Jeonmyeong!”
Thorkel was planning to use this opportunity to get rid of the White Tower Tribe, who were just annoying him.
Although the Baek Gap-yong unit was seen moving hurriedly, the situation was already over.
But Thorkell’s face, frozen solid beneath his helmet, showed no sign of relaxing.
Because the mystery they needed most had long since passed on to the person they were most worried about.
“How on earth… … .”
A single word came out with a small murmur.
“I guess that guy was the chooser of his time.”
His soliloquy was so quiet that no one around him could hear it.
It was a dry tone of speech without any emotion.
* * *
“I think the Black Iron Corps has already finished occupying the White Tower? Wow, our youngest has really suffered a serious blow.”
“What the hell.”
Julius frowned at the report from the first platoon leader, Amore Tan.
What on earth is that Theo guy thinking?
If you had at least given me a heads up in advance, I would have waited.
He suddenly showed up during the welcoming party, so his behavior wasn’t very good.
Even some of the agents were just now hastily putting on their armor.
“This is a clear breach of orders. Theo Ragnar will be disciplined upon his return.”
Only the second platoon leader, Eat Bolse, frowned and glared at the Baektap.
He looks like he’s going to tear Theo apart several times if he’s right in front of him.
But Amore just responded leisurely.
“On what basis do you say this is a violation?”
“That was a violation of the standby order… …!”
“Have you forgotten? The fifth platoon leader is out. Theo Ragnar returned only a few hours ago. You haven’t received formal orders yet, have you?”
“… … !”
Eat’s eyes grew wide.
“Then, that’s a violation of the order… …!”

“Oh, you said that we were going to send a letter of cooperation? It was clearly a lie, but if you deny it, won’t that be the end of it? If necessary, our commander will respond that we were really preparing.”
“… … .”
“This guy, he’s really smart, huh? Oh ho ho! That’s why I like him even more.”
Amore, if possible, wanted to jump into the back tower right away and play with Theo’s cheeks, pulling them long.
It’s disgusting to see a sunflower using its brain like this, but it’s also so desirable that it feels like it’s teetering on the edge of like or dislike.
The guy had an incredible knack for keeping people in good graces.
“But even if things get worse because of one guy, it’s too much! If we let this go without any punishment, there will be chaos in the order!”
“Well, I agree with that. No matter how cute, a mistake is a mistake, right?”
“Both of you stop. Where is Erica Ranke? I know she went to the White Tower with Theo.”
Julius changed the subject by mediating between the two.
Amore scratched the back of his head.
“I think the Red Sword Knights detained him.”
“The Red Sword Knights?”
“Yes. I saw you a little while ago and you were really angry. Since you’ve blatantly tricked them, I don’t think you’ll let them off easy.”
“It looks like we’ve added another enemy to the Black Iron Age.”
Theo must have had some ulterior motive behind his actions, but it was impossible to tell what it was.
‘Or are you aware of the collusion between the Red Sword Knights and the Black Iron Knights? I only found out about that after hearing it from Elder Robert.’
Anyway, I don’t know where he found out, but I thought he was really brave.
‘Maybe I can tie the two together… … .’
Since the natives’ new recruits had already crossed over to the other side, there were only a few White Armored Cavalry units left to fight against the alliance of the Black Iron Cavalry and the Red Sword Knights.
“No matter how wrong Erica Ranke may have been, it is up to us to discipline her or for the Court of Justice to decide. The Red Sword Knights’ actions are an act that goes beyond the unit’s rights.”
At Julius’s words, all the Baek Gap Yonggi Unit members’ gazes turned in his direction.
“Prepare all your weapons and have the White Dragon stand by. Surround the White Tower.”
“Captain! That could easily lead to a civil war… …!”
Eat was startled and tried to stop him, but
“I take full responsibility.”
“… … Yes. Okay.”
By that time, he couldn’t be stubborn any longer.
Instead, he followed orders faithfully.
Because that was what the promoter was supposed to do.
“Baek Gap Yong Gi-dae, surround Baektap with all your might!”
The white dragon that had been waiting outside the barracks was summoned and took control of the sky above the White Tower.
The sight of a flock of over a hundred wyverns flying around was enough to heighten the sense of crisis.
The sight of Baek Gap-yong’s men, who had already formed a camp and were pouring out their weapons, was very intimidating.
Chew chew chew!

The Baek Gap Yong-gi cavalry unit gradually surrounded Baektap and tightened the siege.
The black iron pedestal stood firm like an iron wall, as if it would not give in to this.
They didn’t even dismount from their iron horses, but instead took out long pikes.
A situation so tense that it wouldn’t be strange if a fight broke out at any moment.
Dagdak dagdak-
At that moment, a horse slowly came forward in front of the black barrier.
It was shining with a more splendid obsidian color than other armored horses.
It was Thorkel.
“Captain Baek Gap-yong, I believe you are aware that the actions you are currently taking are treasonous acts that could easily amount to rebellion.”
Thorkel deliberately treated Julius as a captain of the white armored cavalry while being on a level playing field.
A warning not to think about being treated as a demon dragon now.
But in Julius’ eyes, such things seemed like nothing more than futile efforts.
Phew!
Perhaps because of that, a smile spread across his lips.
Because of this, the impressions of the Black Iron Corps members became stiff.
Because to anyone who saw it, it seemed like they were ignoring their leader.
“I know that you are detaining not only the members of the organization you saw, but also the natives who are supposed to be protected. Release them all immediately.”
Julius didn’t even bother to put magic into his voice.
It’s like if you want to listen, listen, if you don’t want to listen, don’t listen.
In particular, his gaze did not miss the sight of the Red Knights in red armor huddled tightly behind the black barrier, as if hiding something.
“What if you can’t do it?”
“How can I do that?”
In that moment, the smile on Julius’s lips disappeared.
Hwaaaaak!
At the same time, the magical wind spread out in all directions, instantly taking control of the White Tower’s surrounding areas where the White Armored Dragon Corps, Black Iron Corps, and Red Sword Knights were located.
‘When on earth did it happen… …!’
Thorkel was about to pull on the reins when he suddenly saw the black blade hanging from the nape of his neck and his expression hardened.
The Black Iron Guard and the Red Sword Knights both stood up straighter.
Gooooo-
Black smoke was swirling around Julius.
It was as if a dark curtain had descended around him, making it difficult to perceive his appearance.
Crap!
My shoulders feel heavy.
My head was forced down.
The legs are bent.

Up there.
The dragon of the apocalypse, made up of a mass of magical energy, was looking down at them with its eyes coldly glaring.
Keeeeek! Keeeeek!
The screams of the terrified white dragons added to the eerie atmosphere of the coming of the end.
“It must be done according to Ragnar’s laws.”
“… … !”
“… … !”
“… … !”
The Black Iron Guard and the Red Sword Knights all swallowed dry saliva.
Brrrrrr… … .
On the one hand, he remembered that Julius had forcibly ripped off the senator’s right arm a while ago with that man’s good-looking face.
In that heavy atmosphere, the only one who stands completely is Thorkell.
Purruk-
But even that couldn’t completely break Julius’ momentum.
“You want to start a civil war in front of the enemy? Fine. Let’s do it. We’ll just trample you all together, Trojans and all.”
Thorkel laughed.
The dragon also laughed viciously.
* * *
The place where Theo was was a small hall about 100 pyeong in size.
A hall with a spiral staircase along the rounded walls.
As it got higher, it got narrower and the ceiling was slightly slanted, making it look like the inside of a white pagoda.
‘Is this a tower climbing quest?’
The moment Theo was about to take a step forward,
Buck!
“It’s been a while since you’ve visited, hasn’t it?”
Suddenly, a bipedal crocodile wearing a butler’s outfit appeared in a space where there was nothing.
He had a ferocious face with a curved horn on his left temple, but his speech and the atmosphere he gave off were full of dignity.
It was the first time Theo had ever seen such a dragon form.
『Ceratosuchus. It is an ancient lower species that became extinct long before you humans appeared in this world. However, it originally had an intelligence level lower than that of beasts. This guy is a bit different. Isn’t it strange?』
“How strange. When you say that, the beast that hears it is truly sad, Ancient One.”
Theo was quite surprised.
Because Ceratosuchus was also listening to Lordbroke’s telepathy, which was only transmitted to him.
Roadbroke seemed rather interesting.
Swish!
Lordbroke’s spirit appeared next to Theo.

“As expected, you’re a bit strange. Your spiritual level seems very high. You seem to be almost at the level of a demigod. What is your identity? I’ve never heard of someone like you being under the Archaic Dragon.”
reply.
Theo’s eyes widened at those words.
That means the person in front of me was on par with Kyle or Hilda!
“Greetings to the great Guardian Dragon and his companion, the Chooser.”
Ceratosuchus bowed his head in greeting, folding his short arms politely.
“I am Kerato, the butler of the Taigoryu, and the envoy of the Panshinjeon. I am the caretaker of this White Tower.”
