Adria Battle (Finish)

Yuno, who safely escaped to the base thanks to Jennifer’s space movement magic, quickly ran to Yuria’s tent with the out-of-breath children.

“Mom!!”

“Yuno! You’re safe! I’m so glad!! Mom’s worried about you… huh? But… what about these kids?”

Yuria, who had been unable to sleep even though it was early morning and prayed for Yuno’s safety, quickly got out of bed when she heard her son’s voice, and her eyes were wide in surprise when she saw the children Yuno was holding.

Following Yuno, Catherine, Jennifer, Isabella, Marie, Kurimu, and Miruku came in with their children.

The spirit beings, Mari, Kurimu, and Miruku, were holding on to the children’s dying lives by healing them with spirits, but their condition was so serious that they were slowly losing their breath, so Yuria urgently got up and began to check their condition.

“We need to take action quickly, starting with the most dangerous child! Isabella! Put it down here on the bed. Quick!”

Yuria, who began healing from the child Isabella brought in, radiated a beautiful light from her hands. Then, the child’s complexion slowly recovered as the child received the light, and the sound of the child’s breathing gradually calmed down. Yuria, seeing this, stopped healing and called the next child.

Yuria was healing step by step and reviving the children in urgent need first, but Yuno’s heart was becoming more and more urgent. This was because the complexion of the child he was holding was getting worse.

‘Of course… I know that the mother is treating the urgent child first, but… this child is also urgent…’

It was the child who spoke to her first and told her that they were dying, and it was the child she saw for the first time, so Yuno’s heart burned as she became more attached to it.

At that time, Yuria’s tent door suddenly opened and a little child came inside.

“Centoria!! Are you here?”

“You can’t go in here!! Let’s go out with the guys!! If I stay here, I’ll be disturbed, right?”

“I don’t like it!! My sister is over there!!! Let go!! Let go!!”

The soldiers followed and tried to take the child out, but Yuno stopped them and let the child in.

This was because the child who recklessly entered the tent was Sentress, whom Yuno had told to escape first and lead the children as the leader.

When Yuno allowed Sentress to enter, the soldiers meekly retreated, and Sentress ran to Yuno, grabbed the girl he was holding, and cried.

“Hyung!! What happened to our Centoria? Why is my brother covered in blood like this? Black Centoria!! Come to your senses!!”

“Centrice? Is this your sister? Uddudduk!! Heinrich!!”

Seeing Sentoria like that, Yuno gritted her teeth and told him that Heinrich had tried to torture and kill Sentoria, and that she had accidentally found Centuria and the children dying.

At that fact, Sentress was furious, gritting her teeth, and Yuno was also furious once again, but when Yuria, who had already finished healing the other children, called, they calmed down their anger and ran to Yuria, thinking that they should save their lives first.

Yuria also seemed to be having a hard time with the continued healing, but she was not one to give up on dying children just because she was having a hard time, so she began to heal Centoria, squeezing out the last of her strength.

A bright light emitted, and Centoria’s complexion became increasingly relaxed. His pale complexion, which had been pale due to massive blood loss, gradually turned peachy as the blood was regenerating quickly, and his once pure white fingernails also began to turn pink.

“Phew… It’s over. Everyone’s lives would have been saved. However, because the bleeding was so severe, there must have been damaged organs… I can’t bring them back even with my healing”

“It’s okay!! Thank you for saving my brother’s life!! thank you!! Thanks to you, my younger brother survived!!”

Sentress, without knowing who Yuria was, kneeled down in front of her and bowed to her in gratitude. Yuria smiled kindly at Sentress and took her hand and helped her up.

“But how can you call my son brother? What happened?”

When Yuria called the prince, Yuno, her son, Centrice’s face became pale as if he realized that Yuria was the empress, but Yuno smiled and said that he was a child he met while rescuing, and that he liked his brave appearance and told him to call her older brother. informed.

“Hehe, there was a relationship like that? Anyway, I’ll be taking care of the kids, so you can go out now. Mari, Kurimu, and Miruku stay and help me”

Yuria issued an order to exclude only the spiritists who were helpful in healing.

Still, Yuno felt fortunate that the children had survived, and after taking Sentress to where his colleagues were, Yuno returned to the command barracks.

“Lord Leverkin. Is food distribution going well for the rescued children?”

“Yes, Your Highness. Everyone was fed to their fill. Heinrich didn’t even provide a meal, so he ate it hungrily. Still, I gave it to him with porridge that doesn’t weigh on his stomach, so he won’t get sick ”

“Good. But Ajin didn’t return… will she be okay?”

“If it’s Ajin, there will be no problem. After dealing with the soldiers for some time, he probably hid in an alley in the capital. If Ah-jin decides to hide her presence, I can’t guarantee that I will find her”

“Yes. If you did that, there would be no problem. It’s Yuno. let’s go!!’

“Yes brother!!”

Yuno went to the front of the camp with Prinz and shouted loudly as he looked at the soldiers.

“Now! It’s finally time to get Adria back!! It is time to set the empire straight by toppling from the throne the crazy man who enjoys torturing and killing young children and conscripting their parents to use them as meat shields!! Raise the flag announcing the advance!! Soldiers!! March to Adria!!”

The soldiers, who heard about the events of the night before while eating breakfast, raised their spears high in response to Yuno’s speech.

And the children that Juno had rescued last night gathered courage and held the hands of the soldiers at the front to free their parents, and they slowly began to advance, united in their desire to defeat Heinrich.

As the sound of Juno’s army’s advancing footsteps shook the ground, Heinrich’s side also reacted strongly.

“The rebels are advancing!! Raise your shield and spear!!”

The commanders waved their whips and gave orders, but the citizen soldiers who had been forcibly brought in because of the children and became soldiers remained unmotivated and hostile.

“Prepare your formation!! Will you come to your senses if you see your children dying again?”

However, when they heard threats against children, they had to grit their teeth and take up arms.

“Ha~ How long do I have to do this… I miss my son…”

“My daughter is not in good health, but I wonder if she is eating properly…”

“We who have to fight do not feed our children properly, so why would we feed our children? Those who will be punished!!”

The citizen soldiers were forced to raise their weapons and let out voices full of dissatisfaction. The expressions of the parents who had not seen their children for several days were a mess, but after a while, when Yuno-kun approached them, their expressions changed to incomprehensible expressions.

“Mom!! dad!! We escaped!!”

“You don’t have to force yourself to fight. Dad~~!!”

The number of children screaming at them was enormous, and wizards such as Isabella enlarged the faces of the children they rescued using image magic and made them float in the air.

Then, the expressions of the citizen soldiers gradually began to brighten.

“Uh…huh? How is my son there?”

“My daughter is alive and safe over there!! ah! Thank you God!!”

Yuno shouted at the citizen soldiers.

“Citizens of Adria!! There is no need to fight for Heinrich anymore!! That evil Heinrich used children as hostages and used you as meat shields for his own power!! So last night! I have rescued your children!!”

“Dad~ Mom~ His Highness the Third Prince rescued us~”

“Let’s go defeat the bad emperor with us~!!”

Although the children shouted as the soldiers had told them to when feeding them, there was nothing false about them, so the children also screamed loudly with the thought of saving their parents, and the sounds shook the hearts of the citizen soldiers.

“His Majesty the Third Prince risked his life to protect our children…”

“The emperor captures the children and holds them hostage… His Majesty the Third Prince personally comes forward to rescue them… Damn who is the emperor!!”

The final blow was dealt to the citizen soldiers who were in tears when they saw the children. Jennifer had saved the terrible scene in Heinrich’s secret room last night with an image save spell and had sent it up into the sky.

“Also, as a member of the royal family, I would like to apologize! As you can see, Heinrich tortured and murdered children in a secret room of the second villa for his own enjoyment!! Because of this Yuno’s unscrupulousness! We couldn’t save all of those children, but only some of them!! After this situation is resolved, I will kneel and apologize to the murdered children!!”

The gruesome sight in the secret room of the second villa completely averted the eyes of the citizens and soldiers. Several parents of the murdered children were seen fainting, and the parents of the children Yuno saved were also shedding tears as they thought about the pain their children had suffered.

“Have you seen this crazy emperor!! Emperor Heinrich must be killed!!”

“This is not the time!! It would be better if we killed the emperor ourselves and made His Highness the Third Prince the emperor!!”

“That’s right!! Let’s advance to the imperial palace!!!”

“Wow!!!”

The tip of the militia’s spear instantly turned in the opposite direction. The commanders with whips and swords were embarrassed and shouted at them not to be fooled by the rebels’ false propaganda, but such cries had no effect on the citizen soldiers who saw the children with their own eyes, and the commanders were instantly killed by the citizen soldiers’ spears and knives.

“Let’s advance to the imperial palace!! Kill that guy Heinrich!!”

“Open the gate!! Do you think we can’t go beyond the walls and do this? If you don’t want to die like the emperor, open it right away!!!”

The defenders, whose countenances turned pale at the citizen army’s sad roar, quickly opened the gates. They also felt that the tide of war had completely turned and that Emperor Henry’s fate was at an end.

The gates were opened, and 50,000 citizens flocked to the imperial palace through the Adriatic city.

The imperial palace guards, who were looking at the militia, had no intention of defending themselves, but instead smiled as if they were welcoming this situation.

“It looks like His Majesty the Third Prince did a good job persuading the citizens. good night!! Are you ready?”

“Yes! Leader!! We are fully prepared!!”

“Good!! Change the flag and open the door!!”

Following the command of the garrison commander, the imperial palace guard lowered the emperor’s flag and raised Yuno’s flag brought from the three star palaces. And at the same time, the main gate of the imperial palace slowly began to open.

“Huh? what? The imperial palace guard opens the palace gate?”

“I guess they don’t want to die either”

As the citizen army attempted to enter the main gate of the imperial palace, the garrison commander spoke to them.

“We also saw the horrors of the 2nd Palace last night!! Let’s kick out Heinrich together!!”

“You also detained our children!! You bad guys!!”

“Well… I’m sorry about that! But since it was the emperor’s order, there was nothing I could do at that time! But now we have decided to no longer recognize Henry as emperor!”

“….Are you saying that the disaster at Villa 2 had nothing to do with you?”

“That’s right!! We really didn’t know either!! The garrison that guarded the 2nd Villa was all killed by the hands of His Highness the Third Prince!”

“Good! Trust me! Instead, we must prevent Heinrich from escaping!!”

When the citizen army listened to their excuses and was satisfied, the garrison joined the citizen army and advanced to the imperial palace.

The imperial palace was quickly occupied because it was already empty, and some citizen soldiers invaded the mansions of the nobles who had been loyal to Heinrich and sucked the blood of the people and began to massacre them.

Meanwhile, Henry, who was drinking with his mistresses at the main palace, frowned when the chancellor, the Marquis Dietrich, hurriedly entered.

“What’s going on, Prime Minister? Are you saying that the 8th and 9th Corps are late again? Tell him that if he is any longer late, I will cut off the head of the corps commander!!”

“That’s not it!! You must avoid it immediately!! The citizen army betrayed!! They are currently marching towards the imperial palace and are pushing towards the main castle!!”

“What? What are the imperial palace guards doing?! Order them to be defeated immediately!!”

Dietrich beat his chest as he watched Heinrich drunkenly giving orders without understanding the situation.

“The imperial palace guard betrayed and joined the enemy!! Now we have no troops left!! Please quickly escape to the secret passage!!”

Heinrich felt sobered when he heard that even the imperial palace guards had turned their backs on him.

“Jeez… Damn it!! I have no choice!! First of all, take my mistress and treasures…”

Even in this situation, Dietrich, seeing Heinrich trying to take care of his mistress and his belongings, began to forcibly drag him away.

“Ruthless! Prime Minister!! You touched the emperor’s jade body!!”

“Your Majesty!! Now is not the time for this!! Enemies by nature right now…”

Kwaang!!

As the sound of the castle door breaking was heard, Dietrich’s complexion became even paler.

“The enemy will soon invade your palace!! Quickly to the secret passage…!!”

Heinrich, who finally understood the situation, threw away everything and headed toward the secret passage.

However, thanks to Speyer’s tip, Yuno had already identified all the secret passages in the main palace, and Jennifer and Isabella had destroyed all the passages under Yuno’s instructions.

“This…oh!! What should I do now, Prime Minister… Prime Minister?”

When Dietrich saw that even the secret passage was completely blocked, he began to think deeply.

‘Now that it’s like this….’

“Prime Minister?”

Cheaeng!!!

Dietrich suddenly pulled a sword from his waist and attacked Heinrich.

“What are you doing, Jaesang!! How dare you attack the emperor!!”

“What is the emperor doing in this situation!! The country needs to survive too!! If you sacrifice your head, your life will be spared, right?”

Heinrich gritted his teeth at the sight of Dietrich betraying him and the fact that he had betrayed even his best confidant.

“This… this…traitor!!”

However, neither Dietrich nor Heinrich were very skilled in martial arts, so they could not kill each other.

Even though the citizen army eventually arrived at the royal palace, they swore at each other and behaved in an indecent manner to the end, and both were taken away to the square in front of the imperial palace.

In the square, Prinz, his staff, and Yuno and his women were already seated, and Ahjin, who had emerged from the alley alive, was glaring at them with all his might. The citizen army was at first taken aback by the appearance of the troll, but when they saw Ajin show his utmost respect to Yuno, they cheered and mocked Heinrich, who was dragged out, saying that the troll was also loyal to the third prince.

“Tsk tsk Even trolls are loyal to His Majesty the Third Prince…”

“The prime minister appointed by him is also stabbing me in the back… That is also the emperor…”

Heinrich let out an angry look as he looked at those citizens.

“If you guys hadn’t betrayed, this wouldn’t have happened!! These traitors!! You all will pay for betraying this emperor!!”

However, Heinrich’s anger only evoked ridicule rather than fear, so he ended up kneeling in front of Juno and Prinz.
