"Elsie... Elsie Tiran?" Welch's sword suddenly lost its grip, but fortunately, the heirloom's properties prevented it from being knocked away by Elsie.
That was close! I almost died in this war... invasion?
"Why did I..." The holy light in Welch's eyes briefly faded.
But in that very moment, he saw Ellen, he saw the territory of the Tilan family, and the people living in peace and prosperity.
Earl Allen smiled and embraced Windsor... How wonderful.
"Huh?"
The scene shifts to the Tiran people fleeing amidst the fire, and he is seen slaughtering his own people with his own sword!
He actually carried the coffin containing Windsor's body to the church himself!
He was actually...
"Clang—"
The clash of swords awakened him!
Elsie's sword was so powerful that its energy finally shattered the longsword in her hand, and the broken blade flew in all directions!
Elsie's sword swiftly sliced through his armor!
The family heirlooms have finally fulfilled their mission...
“Elsie Tiran…”
...
A blinding light roused Welch from his reverie. He sat cross-legged on a cloud, gazing familiarly at everything around him.
He has already been here.
The Dream of Tilan.
This is also part of Tiran's Psalms, one of the gifts from our ancestors.
But why did I end up here?
"!!!"
Welch stared at the group of people in the clouds. Their eyes were blank, and their swords were gripped tightly in their hands. Something seemed to be forcing them to hold their swords tightly!
Welch looked down at his hands; the sword in his hand had been shattered.
“We are the people of Tiran.” Welch suddenly realized.
"Have we been tricked by the temple?"
As you can see before you, these people in the clouds are all the people of Tiran!
They are committing atrocities they do not want to do!
"?"
The commotion around him drew Welch's attention, and he stared at the silver-haired girl, the only silver-haired member of the Tilan family.
She was glaring angrily at everything around her!
“It’s Elsie…” Welch couldn’t hold back his tears. Recalling everything that had happened before, he could no longer bear it.
But it seems there's nothing that can be done, because someone has already woken up.
So... it seems I can only say one thing.
"Elsie..."
Have a safe journey.
...
A butterfly fluttered its wings and landed on Welch's body, and Welch closed his eyes forever.
El longed for the blood-dripping sword in his hand, but he did not regret anything he had done.
Everything here only strengthened her resolve.
The flames on his left hand engulfed Welch's body, and the transparent tentacles from the sky, seeing that they could gain nothing, left helplessly.
"My lord." Karin arrived after leading the Blood Riders to defeat the remaining allied forces.
Connor, in the rear, also led his troops to wipe out the allied forces of the surrounding countries.
Interestingly, it seems that a high-ranking member of the Saijing royal family has started to take charge again. Elsie, who had initially expressed concern, was much relieved after learning that it was Martha.
Martha ordered a portion of the new royal army of the Saijing to follow Connor. After Elsie conquered the new region, the new army was responsible for maintaining order in the region or continuing to conquer cities.
Things are moving in a positive direction.
“My lord, we have eliminated the threat to the Saijing royal family. The restoration of the kingdom is only a matter of time,” Kailin said.
In her view, the Holy Temple could no longer hinder the status of the Saijing royal family.
Elsie is too strong, and she is very young; she could even live for thousands of years!
The sanctuary has been utterly defeated.
"What are our next steps?"
In response to Karin's question, Elsie smiled and looked towards Orvik City.
The scene of Welch's death transported her to a dreamlike state, where she could feel a certain consciousness guiding her.
This consciousness is extremely similar in form to that of Sia, except... it is very weak?
Is Tilan's consciousness still lingering?
He was directing Elsie to Orvik.
“Sia guides the North, and Tiran guides the city of Orvik.” Elsie was somewhat troubled by her two riddle-solving ancestors.
It seems there's no real help at all?
No, at least Sia gave me a Stigmata, well, it's not only not very useful, it's not very useful at all.
What are you doing here?!
[You've wasted ten minutes listening to me!]
At least this stigmata... um... is very bright.
Elsie: →_→
[They're complaining!!!]
So it really is just decoration...
...
Location: Orwick City
Where does this wonderful feeling of overcoming obstacles and defeating monsters come from?
"That's why I don't want to do the main storyline, it's so boring." After destroying several small towns along the way, Elsie finally arrived at Orvik City.
The sanctuary seemed to have realized its defeat and has begun to gather its troops to retreat. Along the way, all that could be seen was desolation and bleakness.
Including the city of Orvik right before our eyes...
"You're back again," Elsie sighed.
Another year has passed in a flash, winter has gone and spring has come, summer has passed, and then the desolate autumn has arrived.
Elsie reached out and caught a fallen leaf from the Oga Forest, a gesture both melancholy and longing.
The events that happened here last year are still vivid in my mind.
She could even proudly point to the sky today and recount her feat of defeating the army of angels!
"Ai... Elshi!?" An old voice suddenly came from the west gate of Orvik City.
Elsie looked closely and saw an old knight who looked very old!
The enemy was patrolling the west gate with a cavalry squad. They were looking at Elshi from afar, their joy beyond words.
"Is it... Elsie?" the old knight asked, his voice trembling with tears in his eyes.
“Grandpa Kelyat, it’s been a long time,” Elsie replied with a smile.
The other party was not targeted by the Lord's tentacles, or rather, there was no trace of the Lord in the entire city of Orvik. It seemed that He had given up on interfering here.
“Elsie, welcome home!” Kelyat said.
The surrounding cavalrymen also realized that an important family member had returned to Orwick City, and they all saluted with their swords drawn.
...
The manor castle in Auwick remains as classic as ever, unchanged, only now with a slightly more solitary atmosphere.
Not only here, but the streets of Orvik were also deserted. It seemed that the Volunteer Army had established a base here, but Elsie didn't bother to find out more about them.
Listening to Kyryat's account, it seems that after the outbreak of war last year, Ellen began to lead people to launch a general attack on the Saijing royal family, leaving only a small number of people in Orwick City.
The church's followers tried to get the people to drink holy water, talking about the concept of ascending to heaven after death, their behavior so frenzied and terrifying.
Fortunately, the witch Rig intervened in time to prevent the tragedy from happening. Later, Kyryat returned with the wandering cavalry regiment, thus averting the crisis.
During this period, the Holy Sword Faction's legions also attempted to capture Orvik City, but it was not a full-scale attack. With the assistance of the Volunteer Alliance, they also thwarted the Holy Temple's plot.
However, all of this is based on...
