Red Storm Chapter 123

Book 4-1.5

After having fun training with Luff for three days, Yulian felt like the Red Storm and his tribe would worry too much if he stayed any longer and started to say goodbye to Luff and Mai.

Luff threw a fit but Yulian calmed him by saying he will come back every so often and barely managed to leave.

When Yulian made it outside, as Yulian had expected, the Red Storm was gathered around the entrance of the underground dungeon. In fact, they had moved the base camp over there as well.

“We were debating whether to go in or just wait.”

“I had some things to do. Did the training go well?”

“Oowoooo~”

As Yulian responded to Haisha’s question, the warriors responded loudly.

“Hmm? What is that?”

Yulian had a satisfied grin on his face at their response before he noticed a Sand Dragon that was tied up with a ton of ropes and asked.

“We caught that guy alive to try to tame him like Shopping, but it wasn’t as easy as we thought it would be.”

As Haisha proudly answered, Yulian started to laugh.

“Ha! How did you come up with that idea?”

“Since there are not too many people in the Red Storm, wouldn’t we be even more unstoppable if we all rode Sand Dragons instead of pirmas? If we could do that, I feel like the Red Storm alone could take on thousands of enemy warriors.”

Yulian shook his head in disbelief at Shubeon’s answer.

He knew that Chun Myung Hoon had personally trained the Red Storm for a while and that their skills had increased from this last war, but he never expected them to catch a Sand Dragon alive.

“It is a good idea, but I do not think it will be easy to do. Shopping was tamed by my master, not by me. I don’t even know if it would be possible.”

“We will attempt it. They say that these punks live much longer than humans, so even if we manage to tame one a year, we think it will be a good support for Pareia.”

Yulian responded to Haisha’s words.

“Even if we manage to tame this one, Red Storm will have to organize the troops without it. It will be hard for this guy to fight along with us and create a path for us. So if we consider the tactical value of the Red Storm, it will be better to give up on it.”

If you consider the large size of the Sand Dragon, it was highly likely that the Sand Dragon would also hurt their warriors in battle. So it was a double-edged sword.

When he first saw Shopping, Yulian had also considered ‘what if the entire Red Storm became Sand Dragon riders?’ but he gave up on it because of this problem.

“Mm.”

After hearing something that they had not even considered, the Red Storm warriors were full of regret looking at the Sand Dragon they barely managed to catch alive.

“But there is still value in having at least one as a symbol of the Red Storm. It’ll be unfair for both the catching side and the caught side if you end up just killing it after all of that effort.”

The Red Storm started to smile again at Yulian’s words.

“Ah! Haisha!”

“Yes, Glow.”

As Haisha arrived in front of Yulian, he handed the Golden Turtle back to Haisha.

“He is a smart one.”

“He sure is. I had originally planned on leaving him at home, but now I’ve gotten attached so I couldn’t do it. But it looks like something has changed?”

“What changed?”

“I can’t say with certainty, but something’s changed with this fella.”

“I fed him well and he energetically followed me around. There weren’t any issues.”

Haisha put the Golden Turtle on his hand and looked all over it.

“Maybe i am mistaken. It must be because I have not seen him for a while.”

Yulian nodded his head and pointed at the Sand Dragon as he started to speak to the Red Storm members.

“Everybody, beat him up but make sure he does not die. Beat him up until he develops obedience. If we do not instill the fact that we are above him, it will end up being dangerous, so mercilessly beat him up. Since they understand human language, watch what you say as well.”

Oowoooooo~

“Once we take him to Shopping later, I’m sure Shopping will teach him well. I’m sure he is lonely on his own as well. But how do we tell a female Sand Dragon apart? It would be great if this one was the opposite gender of Shopping.”

“Hahahaha.”

The Red Storm all had a good laugh before sheathing their greatswords and casually walked toward the Sand Dragon that was glaring at them with murderous intent.

‘What is going on?’

The Sand Dragon was surprised as the Red Storm suddenly headed toward it and flinched its body.

“Adjust quickly.”

Puk! Puuuuuuuuuuk. Paaaaaack. Pooooooooook.

Close to 100 greatswords almost instantly started to attack the Sand Dragon.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaak~

As the Sand Dragon’s scream echoed across the Monster’s Desert, the other monsters did not dare to move around and even the one Sand Dragon that was nearby also slowly crawled into the ground.

A man with a full head of black hair with small amounts of white hair peeking out to show his age was looking toward the Eastern sky.

“Hohoho.”

The man must be happy as he started to laugh out loud.

“Venersis-nim.”

The man turned his head as someone called out his name. It was Bucord, the leader of the Desert Sword.

“Bucord, what’s going on?”

“Are we really going to just let them do as they please?”

“What do you mean?”

“Pareia.”

Bucord could not reveal his frustration as he cautiously answered.

“Pareia… Pareia…they’ve gotten stronger. No, they were strong from the beginning. Our Shuarei had been aiming for them for so long but in the end, they did not fall. Amazing.”

‘It is not the Shuarei but you, Venersis. If it wasn’t for you, would anybody have dared to fight against pareia?’

Bucord thought that in his mind as he started to speak.

“If we let them continue like this, we will not be able to defeat Pareia. Pareia will only get stronger as time goes on. In addition, they have a solid alliance with the Rivolde.”

“I know.”

“We are slowly becoming isolated, Venersis-nim.”

“I know that as well.”

Even this time, Venersis looked very calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Bucord could not understand and asked.

“But you will still just leisurely sit back and watch?”

Venersis looked directly at Bucord.

“What is it that we can do right now?”

“That……”

Bucord could not say anything. He wanted to say they needed to hit Pareia, but with Venersis asking like that, he realized that that wasn’t really possible either.

“We have less than 60,000 warriors. You are not saying we should ignore the Rivolde who are eyeing us and invade Pareia, are you?”

“That’s not what I am saying……”

“If you are not planning to perish together, then it is better to just sit back and watch for now. And if we have made up our mind to sit back and watch, we need to be as quiet as a dead field mouse. We don’t want to surprise them and get their anger.”

That truth was not something that Bucord, one of the Desert Sword, would not know. However, the diversion from above was too much.

They were wondering why they were just letting Pareia be. There were even some Greatest Warriors who knew why they weren’t attacking Pareia, but they were still doing it for political influence to go against Venersis.

Bucord could not believe it when he saw what was going on. Was this how they treated Venersis, who had put his life on the line to fight for the Shuarei for tens of years?

It had already been twenty years since Bucord started to follow Venersis. The amount of enemies who were in awe at the warrior in front of him during that time were countless, and the number of enemies who paid tribute to his endless passion and fighting spirit were endless as well.

However, the tribe’s Glow as well as a couple Greatest Warriors who wanted to rip him into pieces, these people were tying this glorious warrior down.

Bucord remembered what Venersis said to him the first time he invited him to the Desert Sword. Bucord felt like tears were going to pour out of his eyes.

“Why are your eyes turning red? Bucord.”

“It’s nothing. Venersis-nim.”

“I understand how you feel, but no matter what anybody says, we must wait. We must wait until the number of our warriors grow and Pareia shows an opening. Either that or for that Rivolde to show an opening. If our Shuarei moves on our own right now, we will perish.”

“I understand.”

“Send a message to the Desert Sword. Maintain your strength, a chance will definitely come.”

Venersis sounded like he was urging Bucord, but in reality, he was urging himself to be patient.

(As the 24th section ends)

The opposition of the Magic Tower and Chaos, as well as the recreation of the world. These are both topics that will be the core of the continent chronicles.

However, in order to prevent boredom, I have not put too much explanation. I will be thankful if you just accept it as ‘So that’s how it is!’ I will be even more thankful if you continue to read this series as well. ^^;;

The characters Aizen and the woman named Hwai Resaruche are the characters of my next project.

That was why the journey to the Magic Tower was briefly described as well.

If I am being honest with you, that series is a very different atmosphere than Red Storm, so there were even parts that I took out as well.

Now that we are at the exact middle of the series, it is time for the main story to slowly get started.

The composition of the confrontation, which is the core of the series, should not impact Yulian too much if you think about his personality and the environment around him, however!

I believe that he won’t be able to completely remain unaffected by this influence.

Honestly, as well head into the fourth volume, the future of the characters in the story is something that even I, as the author do not know for sure, so I cannot accurately say ‘This is what will happen!’

I will work hard to give you the feeling of joy and the mentality of ‘let’s get to the end together!’

End of chapter 1.

Once a war ends, it leaves behind pain.
