Episode 440: Dreaming the impossible dream (4)

Restoration of Changhaechanga Don Quixote.

The knights who roamed the vast expanse of the sea carrying a single spear were freed from the devil's control and served the right master.

Don Quixote La Mancha Tudor. He is the heir to the former head of the family, Cervantes, and the true owner of the Don Quixote family. The king of lions.

The young lion who had been driven out grew up and returned to the family, avenging his father by driving out his evil uncle.

In the past, it would have been a major event that would have turned the entire empire upside down, but due to the current situation, an issue of this scale could hardly spread.

This was an era of civil war where thousands or tens of thousands of people were dying every day.

However, the normalization of the Don Quixote family was a great blessing for those who walk at night.

"The supply route has finally reopened."

Dolores said in a bright voice.

The supply route that the demons had cut off was reconnected.

Finally, food and water began to be supplied to Fortress Tochka again.

The ever-increasing number of refugees could have caused great chaos.

"… … ."

Bikir was looking at the view of Tochka beyond the conference room window.

High and thick castle walls.

A plateau where oxygen is scarce.

A rocky area surrounded by sheer cliffs.

It is definitely a tall and lonely fortress with iron walls.

"The only problem is that there is not enough drinking water. It would be nice if we could just get our own water. "There is an area where it is assumed that there is a water source if you cross at least one mountain."

Dolores looked at the map and muttered something regretful.

But there was not a single trace of anxiety in Bikir's attitude.

"The drinking water problem will be solved soon."

"… … yes?"

Everyone, including Dolores, looked puzzled, but Bikir did not continue speaking.

At that time, Tudor, who was on one side of the table, opened his mouth.

"I now have a complete understanding of the Don Quixote family's power situation."

Tudor, who became the new head of the Don Quixote family, decided to fully cooperate with the Nightwalkers.

It was natural.

"Because of this incident, people associated with the devil have been completely eradicated. And we reinstated all those who had been purged or kicked out."

"How many of them can fight?"

When Bikir asked, Tudor disclosed all confidential documents without a moment of hesitation.

"Surprisingly, the situation wasn't that bad. About 60% of it is fine. However, most of them are focused on the fleet. The cavalry suffered so much damage this time... … ."

As Tudor spoke, he glanced at the people around him.

Camus was sitting there with his arms crossed.

"what. "Are you saying it's my fault that your family's cavalry was destroyed?"

"Oh, no, whatever. It's not like that. The reason the Invincible Cavalry suffered so much damage was because they were brainwashed by the devil and kept circling the civil war zone. "Who else can I blame but my incompetence and the evil demons?"

Tudor smiled sheepishly.

But smiling may not be laughing.

The Don Quixote family's proud invincible cavalry suffered near-annihilation.

Even if you avenge your father and take off the devil's skin and make a tassel hanging from the bottom of a spear, your resentment will not be resolved.

Vikir opened his mouth as he looked at the decoration of Cimmeries' leather straps hanging down from the Tudor's spear, Gungnir.

"It will make the knights around you brave. Carry it with you at all times."

"… … thank you."

Tudor nodded toward Bikir and continued speaking.

"Still, Don Quixote's Invincible Armada maintained its strength with almost no damage. It seems that the sea level has dropped significantly, preventing the fleet from reaching the coast. "It seems like it didn't help much in the civil war."

Bikir's eyes lit up sharply after hearing Tudor's words.

"That's enough."

What Bikir had shown the most interest in was the Invincible Armada of the Don Quixote family.

Many people expressed doubts about that.

"But brother. Why do we need the Invincible Armada so much? There's a civil war going on in the center of the continent right now, but there's nothing in particular that could lead to a naval battle, right? Even if it were because of the supply route through the sea, wouldn't the fleet be of much use now that the sea level has dropped significantly?"

Sinclair's question was what everyone gathered in the conference room was curious about.

Bikir looked up from the map to answer this point.

"Soon the fleet will become very important. And when that moment comes, Tochka's drinking water crisis will also be resolved… … ."

Right then. There was someone who interrupted Bikir mid-sentence.

"Pussssss – that damn meeting, meeting, meeting. "Why does he do such boring things every day without getting tired of it?"

In the first place, there are not many of these members who can stop Bikir from speaking.

Marquis de Sade. He was looking at Bikir with an expression of boredom.

"Mr. Bikir. You know that, right? "There are now two left."

Sade held up two fingers and grinned.

When he escaped from the Nouvelle Vague, Sade was indebted to Bikir.

In return, Saad promised to kill up to three people designated by Bikir, so Saad continues to follow Bikir.

Orca, sitting next to Sade with her arms crossed, was in a similar situation.

"Unlike this prison escapee, I maintain integrity. I said I would protect up to three people you want. "Now there are two left."

Sade was talking about Passamonte, and Orca was talking about Tudor.

I indirectly killed them both and indirectly protected them, but it was helpful anyway, so that's it.

"… … "I remember it well."

Vikir nodded and looked away.

"Is ThindiWendy still there? "I need to know the news about the Usher family so I can decide on my next plan."

"I can't be a nobleman."

As soon as Bikir finished speaking, the door to the conference room opened.

ThindiWendy, holding a bunch of documents, walked to the corner of the table and sat down.

"Aren't we overworking ourselves too much these days? To the person who will become my sister-in-law."

"Didn't you hate being associated with the Baskervilles?"

ThindiWendy smiled and answered Bikir's words.

"Because relationships between people are bound to change. "I was able to put the Baskervilles out of my mind a while ago."

"… … ."

"What about you? Are you still carrying it?"

At those words, Bikir closed his mouth and remained silent for a long time.

ThindiWendy joined hands with the Baskervilles who destroyed her family.

Although she said she would become the hostess and rule over the Baskervilles, it was in fact an act that was tantamount to giving up revenge and compromising.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Everyone in the conference room flinched at Bikir's unusually sharp voice.

Did I touch the reverse?

Bikir's voice was so sharp that even the world's Saad and Orca were shocked.

This is Vikir's true appearance, which is rarely seen except when dealing with demons.

However, ThindiWendy quietly changed the topic with her characteristic slyness.

"Oh, I'm so scared~ It's the same as when I was standing outside the prison bars before. "Nothing has changed."

She shoved the papers in front of Bikir.

"I'm scared, so I'll just get to the point quickly."

As always, ThindiWendy summarized only the key details.

1. Signs that the civil war in the empire will become more severe.

2. An alliance between the Morgga and the Baskervilles is concluded.

3. An alliance between the Quo Vadis and the Bourgeoisie.

4. An alliance between Leviathan and the House of Usher is concluded.

5. Don Quixote declares neutrality and proclamation.

"… … hmm. Other than that, the Quo Vadis family declared a holy war against the Leviathan family because of the Red Death. "You know that the Don Quixote family declared neutrality and pulled out of the civil war because the Tudor family over there declared it himself."

The Quovadis family declared a holy war against the Leviathan family following the Red Death incident long ago.

By nature, the movement of a large group is slow to begin with, but once it begins, it picks up tremendous speed.

The Don Quixote family decided to enshrine the family for a while while recovering from the damage suffered in the civil war and due to various procedures for changing the head of the family.

Of course, this was only a nominal eulogy, and since Tudor became the head of the family, it was natural for the Don Quixote family to secretly support those who walked at night.

Camus rested his chin and looked at Vikir.

"We joined hands as families? It looks like mom has decided to push her 2nd prince in earnest. "The second prince, we don't even know where she is, or even if she exists in the first place."

"Perhaps it is more meaningful to keep the first emperor in check rather than to truly follow the second prince. "We at Quo Vadis are in the same position."

Dolores opened her mouth as she looked at Vikir across from Camus.

As their eyes met in the air, Sinclair reached behind Vikir's back, over his shoulder, and pointed at the map.

"Our bourgeoisie is also looking for the second prince. "The rumor that a member of the royal family was admitted to the academy is the most powerful clue at the moment."

A civil war is ultimately a fight over justification.

While demons gather together under one goal, humans fight against each other under various banners.

Vikir thought about the second prince, of whom there were many rumors.

Before returning, the 2nd prince never showed up anywhere.

A mysterious person whose existence has not even been revealed.

'If he is really alive somewhere, he might be able to unite humanity sooner.'

Vikir, whose thoughts had reached this point, raised his head and looked at XindiWendy.

"Of the seven families of the empire, which one is the most knowledgeable in information?"

"… … hmm. That's it, it's Shingungbi. "As Usher operates a lot of personnel specializing in assassination and infiltration, he is bound to be the most well-informed of information."

The moment ThindiWendy finished answering, the door to the conference room opened as if an appointment had been made.

Bianca, with a very angry expression, opened her mouth to everyone.

"The brainwashing of the members of the New Assassin Sniper Team has been lifted. "I heard everything about how things were going within the family."

At the same time, Vikir's eyes sank deeply.

The Usher family is a family that has not yet escaped the devil's clutches and was one of the key players in this civil war.

Now that the Don Quixote family has been restored, there is no family more threatening than Leviathan and Usher.

And the person currently leading it is Usher for Madeline.

A being presumed to be the third Sisangsi.

Grumble-

The first person to stand up after hearing Bianca's words was Tudor.

It was Bianca who saved Tudor at the moment of Don Quixote's downfall.

And now Tudor, Bikir, and all the other friends were reaching out to Bianca.

"Let's go together. Your family will also be restored."

"… … ."

Light returned to Bianca's eyes, which had been black for a while.

At the same time, my eyes were turning red.

"We must hurry. "I will attack them before word of Don Quixote's family reaches them."

At Vikir's words, the eyes of all those who walked at night began to burn with a strong will.

"Pusssss – So has the second goal been decided?"

"This will reduce my debt."

Saad and Orca also followed Bikir and stood up.

A second demon hunt was about to take place in succession.

This was extremely unusual in Bikir's hunting pattern, which usually leaves a long gap between hunts.
