Sea dragons became extinct in ancient times. All dragon tribes concealed their traces through the Ancient Covenant, and sea dragons were one of the ancient creatures expelled. Dragons have been extinct for millions of years.
“What about the unidentified deceased?”
“Upon investigating the clothing, the missing Tutyu looked like one of the servants. The crest of the affiliated family was almost erased, but there was a little left on the shoulder.”
There are limits to what you can convey in print.
Benhamin pressed his temple. The sight was blurred and stifling.
The Hyeok tribe stepped on the curse, and demons mixed with the curse.
The power of the covenant was exhausted. The power of the Ancient Covenant began to fade in the past.
“Is Deongkan Gyeong here?”
“Of course, a swordsman climbs onto the suppression front to swing his sword. Where should we deploy him?”
“It’s the third coastal cliff outside. It used to be the nesting place of the Basilisk in the past, and it’s the point where additional defenses are needed after the suppression.”
Pedelin fumbled with his greatsword.
“I will leave right away.”
Pedelin left the meeting room.
“Prepare to leave for the rest as well.”
Additional suppression units were deployed to the suppression front.
“Are you personally going to the suppression front?”
The one who brought up this story first was Sharlowoff.
Benhamin answered as he took off his outer garment.
“I haven’t said anything yet.”
“You originally headed for the center of the suppression front.”
“The axis of the suppression system is Pofuta, and it would be more accurate to say that I established the system of Pofuta.”
His lips became dry and cracked. Shadows were cast under his eyes from the prolonged meeting until late at night. It wasn’t a refreshed expression.
It could be roughly guessed here.
“It didn’t go as planned.”
His expression was subtle.
“Take care.”
“I’m still cautious about leaving you alone.”
“You watch me as if I were a child. Well, I’ve always stood outside your sight unexpectedly.”
Benhamin placed his outer garment on the bench and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt.
“Will you wait?”
“I’ve always waited.”
“It’s dangerous outside for you. Only here.”
It felt like leaving a child by the water’s edge.
“Don’t go outside, and don’t go beyond Hwanggung.”
“Do you want to confine me?”
“If I could confine you, I would tie your steps here.”
Benhamin brought up another topic.
“How was the swordsmanship training with Pedelin?”
“I don’t really know.”
“He quickly learned swordsmanship, but I heard he has bad habits. Did he learn the sword technique to protect the body?”
“Yes, I learned it.”
“It was said that he was clumsy in protecting the body. Did he intentionally expose himself?”
Ah, it’s because of the time he exposed his arm and checked the groin. It was because of that incident.
“I was a little clumsy.”
“If you aim the blade carelessly, don’t hold the hilt.”
Sharlowoff smiled faintly.
“I’ll be careful.”
Benhamin replied with tousled short hair.
“I think I need to leave.”
“Are you going to the suppression front?”
“If it’s an ancient creature, we need to reorganize the suppression system.”
Ancient creatures were different from the demons so far. The sea dragon was the leader of the demons. Unlike human society, demons did not have ranks and hierarchies. Instead, the law of the jungle was thorough.
“It seems like I’m not enough to be left alone.”
The military horse left the imperial palace. The suppression unit was dispatched, and then the imperial information officer followed the emperor. The emperor put on a red coat and blended in with the group.
As the suppression unit left the gate, a dust cloud flew along the path of the imperial palace.
Sharlowoff, standing on the top of the first tower of the imperial palace, covered his shoulders with a shawl and looked down.
“Everyone’s gone.”
“Yes. Just left the palace, so they will soon head to the internal suppression front of Pofuta.”
Katarina stood by Sharlow’s side.
“Take care of yourself. His Majesty was worried a lot even while heading to the suppression front.”
“…I’m fine now.”
“It’s just a story to express concern.”
“Having always watched from beside, I understand well the heart that worries about me.”
“As someone valuable who should be protected.”
The shaggy shawl pressed against the shoulders solidly.
“They are worried that everyone might get hurt. Please consider the hearts of those who are trying to care and protect even a little more.”
Sharlowoff just nodded.
“The weather is cold. Let’s go back now.”
The gates of the imperial palace opened in the middle of the night.
Those on horseback passed through the gates. The guards performed a grand salute and showed courtesy.
An additional suppression unit was dispatched to Pofuta, and black-armored warhorses roughened the path.
The suppression unit, covered in black robes, melted into the darkness.
Those in armor emitted a powerful aura. Behind the warhorses, dust clouds flew.
Among the warhorses of the suppression unit, there was also the emperor’s warhorse.
“If they get involved, Your Majesty won’t be able to let go of his hands either.”
Roskella approached, holding the reins and speaking.
“We have left reliable people in Hwangsung, so please trust them.”
“It’s not that I don’t trust them.”
The suppression unit passed through the gateway leading to Pofuta. The imperial palace was adjacent to Pofuta, and with the road neatly cleared, the suppression unit quickly reached its destination.
The imperial information officer, who had been dispatched to Pofuta first, came out to meet the emperor.
“We’ll skip the usual formalities.”
Benhamin firmly gripped the reins of his warhorse and asked, “What about the Admiral?”
“The Commander has led the warship and headed to the border area. The external suppression front is now under the command of Commander Pedelin Dunkan and his mercenary unit, handling the suppression operation.”
“What’s the scale?”
“The border line collapsed. With Commander Dunkan joining, the damage has been minimized, but a small mercenary unit was wiped out.”
It is difficult for one suppression unit to be responsible for various parts of Pofuta. This deficiency was filled by the mercenary units in various regions.
The royal family employed mercenary units to protect various suppression fronts.
Leading the core of such mercenary units was Pedelin Dunkan.
“Draw your swords.”
The gateway opened. The suppression front stretched out before their eyes.
The Basilisk had nested.
The suppression unit drew their swords simultaneously.
The scales of those creatures were tough, and the snake hunting began.
Benhamin twisted the hilt, swinging the blade.
With just one stroke of the sword, the creatures’ heads rolled.
“Don’t act clumsily. Aim for the neck, kill, and tidy up the area.”
A stifling silence followed.
