“Is the iron squadron missing?”
Raon lowered his sword and approached Dorian.
“What are you talking about. “Where did you hear that?”
“Well, I don’t know exactly.”
Dorian chewed his lip and shook his head.
“On my way here, I met some non-banquet escort prosecutors on their way home from work, and they told me that Cheoljeondae was missing.”
He breathed heavily and said that as soon as he heard that Cheoljeondae was missing, he immediately rushed to the training ground.
“Umm… .”
Raon bit his lip as he looked at Dorian’s trembling pupils.
‘If it’s the non-banquet escort prosecutor’s information, it must be true.’
Dorian is friendly and has many close friends outside of Gwangpungdae. There was no way the prosecutors guarding the banquet would lie about something as serious as a disappearance, so those words were definitely true.
‘What kind of mission did you carry out that caused you to go missing?’
Cheoljeondae returned to the Arian family first, saying that they also had to do their duty.
I thought he was on a mission because he wasn’t seen even after returning, but I never imagined that I would hear the news that he was missing.
“Do you know why he went missing?”
“yes. “I just heard that he went missing.”
“hmm… .”
Raon wiped his forehead and frowned.
‘What on earth happened?’
Trevin’s hard yet affectionate eyes come to mind. There was no way he could have passed over the report because he was foolish enough to review the manual, so it was clear that something had happened.
“Uh, what should I do?”
“I guess I’ll have to get some information first.”
I pushed the Jecheon sword into the scabbard. I lightly brushed the dust off my clothes and headed toward the exit of the training center.
“Where are you going?”
“Non-banquet.”
“Go there yourself?”
“okay. “I have to go now.”
Raon nodded. Since Dorian said he heard the information from the escort prosecutors on their way home from work, it was highly likely that the news of Cheoljeondae’s disappearance arrived between night and dawn.
If you go now, you will be able to get the latest information about the disappearance.
“oh?”
“Sir?”
When I opened the door to leave the training hall, I encountered Gwangpungdae prosecutors trying to come in.
“hello!”
“As expected, you came first.”
“But where are you going?”
“Did you pass training this morning?”
Prosecutors who did not know the circumstances greeted me with bright faces.
“Morning training is voluntary.”
Raon instructed the prosecutors to undergo self-training and then walked in the direction of the main building.
Thanks to Taehwabo, which was operated at full power, we were soon able to arrive in front of the non-banquet building.
In front of the main gate of the banquet, there were two swordsmen standing like stone statues.
Just by looking at the smoothly flowing energy waves and calm breathing, you could tell that he was an expert.
After adjusting my clothes, I approached the escort prosecutors.
“This is Raon Sieghardt, the leader of the Storm Troop. “I came because I wanted to meet the non-banquet owner.”
Although it was urgent work, we had no choice but to follow the order. He first greeted me and told me his business.
“Do you have an appointment?”
The old prosecutor standing on the right lowered his head and opened his mouth.
“no. But it’s urgent. “Please at least give me some news.”
“hmm… .”
As the old prosecutor gave him a look, the middle-aged prosecutor standing on his left entered the banquet.
-Tsk
Lars quenched his appetite as he looked at the tightly closed door.
-Can’t I just go in? Aren’t both of them weaker than you?
‘But that doesn’t work.’
Raon slowly shook his head.
‘Because I don’t know how things will turn out in the future. Now we have to stick to the system.’
We needed to get information from non-banquets, and we couldn’t hold an event that ignored them. In times like these, we must be polite.
While I was waiting anxiously, the front door opened and a middle-aged prosecutor walked out.
“The Lord of the Association gave permission.”
He told me to follow him and went back inside.
Raon bowed his head slightly and followed the middle-aged swordsman into the non-banquet.
“This is the only way! “There’s nowhere to go on the right!”
“There’s a cliff over there! Are you planning to report the death first?”
“Shouldn’t we first get information from the people in the surrounding villages before giving directions?”
“It’s something we have to do, of course, and we have to prepare for when we can’t get the information.”
Non-banquet informants were gathered in groups of twos and threes at a round table, laying out maps and arguing.
After a quick listen, it seemed like I could figure out the location of Cheoljeondae’s disappearance.
“Check to see if there were any other Oma besides there.”
“The Shinju Oryeong guys are neutral in their words. “Be sure to determine the location.”
“Ha, I sent a message saying that the mission was successfully completed, so I wonder what’s going on… .”
“Be loud and give your opinion without fail today!”
Raon walked inside the banquet hall while listening to the shouts of informants.
‘It was real after all.’
The fact that Trevin and the Cheoljeondae were truly missing struck me painfully, and it warmed my heart to see that many informants here were working with bloodshot eyes to find them.
As I walked, determined to go out and find Trevin and Cheoljeondae, a middle-aged prosecutor suddenly stopped.
“This is the place.”
The middle-aged prosecutor nodded and pointed to the non-conference office.
“thank you.”
Raon greeted him face to face and stood in front of his office.
smart.
After knocking twice on the thin-looking door, I heard Chad’s voice from inside.
“Please come in.”
Raon opened the door and went inside. Chad, the non-banquet owner, peeked his face out from the spacious desk where various documents were piled up in a messy manner.
“Long time no see. Lord Budan. No, you are now the deputy head.”
“Meeting the non-banquet owner.”
I bowed my head to Chad and closed the office door.
“I should have congratulated you on your promotion sooner, but it was too late.”
He said he was sorry and held out his hands together.
“no.”
Raon shook his head.
“What you did in the throne room is enough.”
Thanks to Chad’s confirmation of the mission’s results in the throne room, his direct relatives were silenced, he was able to easily obtain a gold plaque, and he was even able to receive recognition from others.
“Because it’s business-related.”
Chad waved his hand and smiled as if it was no big deal.
“By the way, what brings you to the non-banquet this morning?”
“I overheard something.”
Raon looked at Chad’s calm eyes and smoothed the back of his hand.
“I heard that the Iron Squadron is missing. Is this true?”
“Oh, that’s… .”
Chad’s seemingly calm face collapsed in an instant. Looking at his expression, it seemed like he had no intention of covering it up with lies.
“It seems like the guards in shifts told me. Oh, I didn’t manage new recruits… .”
He frowned, saying that new recruits had not yet been properly introduced.
“Well, it’s something that will spread quickly.”
“Was it really true?”
“yes. “It’s true.”
Chad nodded heavily.
“The Iron Squadron disappeared after completing its mission to subdue monsters in the Hopirn region and disappeared on its way back.”
He scratched the desk with his fingernails, saying that it took some time to figure out that he was missing because there were no signs of battle.
“What does it mean that there are no traces of battle…” .”
“That’s literally it. There are no traces of battle left in the Cheoljeondae’s movements. It doesn’t even look like the traces were forcibly erased. “I still wonder how she went missing.”
Those words reminded me of the debate I heard among the informants on my way here. It seems that they were all researching where they went to Cheoljeondae and how they disappeared.
“Then you don’t even know about brute force?”
“no. “There is some doubt about that.”
“Suspicious place?”
“yes. It is said that the demons of the Black Tower were seen on the outskirts of Hopirn.”
“Black Tower… .”
Raon mumbled the name of the Black Tower and bit his lip until it bled.
‘Could it be because of me?’
I heard that the Black Tower was targeting him because he went to Sepia Store to help Dorian, cut down the Black Chief, and took Drake, but I never thought that the grudge would be directed to Cheoljeondae.
“It’s not just because of the Vice Lord. Originally, my family and Oma were enemies.”
Chad seemed to know what Raon was thinking and told him not to worry too much.
“Did the Iron Squadron collide with the Black Tower during the mission?”
“That’s not it.”
He shook his head resolutely.
“Then it’s my fault. “They are trying to avenge their revenge for killing the black chief through the Iron Battle Command.”
“Umm… .”
Chad couldn’t refute it and savored it bitterly.
“Who came out of the Black Tower?”
“It’s not exact, but it’s Ma Lun and Binghyang.”
“Malyun, Binghyang… .”
Both were masters in charge of the floor of the Black Tower and were demons who became infamous throughout the continent.
“This is probably a black tower attack to express that they are targeting me.”
“I think so too. So, if you wait, other lenders… .”
“no. So I have to go.”
Raon clenched his fists tightly enough to make a crunching sound.
“I will personally teach you how to ruin Sieghart if you touch him.”
* * *
Raon asked the non-banquet owner to gather information and then headed straight to Gajujeon.
When I arrived in front of the throne room, I ran into Roen, who was holding a bundle of documents.
“Sir?”
Roen widened his eyes as if he had no idea he was here.
“What’s going on here… .”
“I came to see the head of the family.”
Raon bowed his head to Loen with calm but powerful eyes.
“hmm… .”
Roen smiled slightly and nodded.
“Let me ask you.”
He left those words and entered the throne room first.
After a while, the door opened again, and Loen smiled and made a gesture.
“You gave permission. Please come in.”
“thank you.”
Raon greeted Roen and entered the throne room.
I calmly walked the red carpet and stood in front of Glenn, who had his back buried in the throne.
“Meet the matriarch… .”
“You’re welcome, so there’s no need to say a grand greeting in the morning.”
Glenn said goodbye and motioned for me to get up.
“Get to the point.”
“I found out about the disappearance of Cheoljeondae by chance.”
Raon got up and got straight to the point as Glenn requested.
“hmm.”
Glenn was not particularly embarrassed or surprised, but only slightly furrowed his eyebrows.
“I also want to participate in the search mission.”
“You’re arrogant.”
He rested his chin on his fist and let out a light sneer.
“Cheoljeon Daeju disappeared without leaving any trace. Do you think the situation will change if you go?”
Glenn continued, waving his hands.
“We have decided to send the White Regiment closest to the Hopirn area, so you can draw attention and stand by.”
“But this incident happened because of me. “It is clear that he is seeking revenge for killing the black beast leader, but he cannot remain silent.”
Raon shook his head. He couldn’t back down this time.
“I told you, nothing will change if you leave.”
As soon as those words reach my ears, Glenn’s magnificent energy spreads. Terrible pressure. It was as if the entire Bukmang Mountain was weighing down on my shoulders.
Puzzle.
Raon bit his molars until they broke apart.
‘Ugh.’
You have to hold on.
Although Trevin and the Iron Squadron did not say anything, they must have overcome these difficulties and even came to help the Aryan family.
It happened because of me, but I couldn’t lie down and do nothing.
Cheeeeee!
Raon raised his head, using the ring of fire to its full potential.
Coo!
I stepped forward with my left foot, pushing away Glenn’s strong energy waves. He raised his voice, cutting through the increasingly strong pressure with the sword of his will.
“If you don’t help because it’s dangerous, you’re not family. Just as the Iron Squadron came to the Aryan family with a letter, I also want to fight for them. No awards or awards required! Just allow me to participate in the search!”
Now that you’ve shown your strength, it’s time to show your sincerity. She got down on her knees and bowed her head.
“We will avoid danger as much as possible and focus only on searching for the iron squadron. “Please send me alone!”
Raon bit his lip, shouting that he could never stay still.
‘If you don’t give me permission, I’ll have to climb over the wall.’
This isn’t just being unreasonable. Since the evil beast was determined by the Black Tower, the person with divine power was more likely to be helpful than others.
“Do you want me to send you alone? “You showed the will, but you didn’t realize it.”
Glenn removed his hand from the armrest of the throne and twisted his mouth.
“Where do you leave your minions?”
“yes?”
When he gestured without answering, Roen opened the door to the throne room again.
Googoo googung!
The huge door opened, and those standing in front of it gave fierce looks. Gwangpungdae. All of the Gwangpungdae swordsmen except Rimmer were gathered.
“Where are you going alone?”
Marta ran over and frowned.
“Do you really want to get married?”
She raised her clenched fist again, asking if she was going to handle everything on her own.
“Martha is right.”
Runaan lowered her lips as if she was upset.
“They go together like mint and chocolate.”
She shook her head, saying she couldn’t spend it alone.
“Don’t think that you are the only one indebted to the Iron Squadron.”
Buren came to the side, clutching his sword tightly.
“Because we also received a lot of help.”
He frowned, telling me not to be too fussy.
“The commander of the unit is not the only one who has a connection with the Iron Squadron!”
“Don’t try to handle everything on your own.”
“If you received help, you should help here too.”
“We will go together too!”
Gwangpungdae prosecutors also raised their voices, saying they would join together unconditionally.
“ah… .”
Raon cupped his forehead as he looked at the eyes of the Gwangpungdae swordsmen filled with faith.
‘I was only thinking about myself again.’
As they said, Gwangpungdae and Cheoljeondae had a lot of close relationships. I felt embarrassed that I had declared that I would go alone, thinking that I had a deep connection, without considering the feelings of the Gwangpungdae prosecutors.
match.
Raon slapped himself and knelt in front of Glenn again.
“I’ll say it again.”
A red light flashed in his eyes as he raised his head.
“Gwangpungdae would like to participate in the Cheoljeondae search mission.”
Only after those words came out did a small wave appear on the corner of Glenn’s mouth.
