by fnovelpia“Let’s take a little rest here. Everyone, focus on mana recovery. Liches who can afford it should raise the corpses again as undead.”
“Okay.”
The army stopped.
This is a Uk fortress that has just been occupied.
This place also wasn’t well-protected, as the army hadn’t gathered properly.
A military force of less than 10,000 people.
I simply used a few spells with the lich, deployed undead troops, and took over the area. In this way, one more fortress was captured.
Including the cities occupied by the castle lord’s magic, three bases have already been occupied.
But you have to be a bit nervous.
Until now, we had only been able to destroy an unprepared enemy, but from now on, they will also come together and resist fiercely.
It would probably be somewhat dangerous to move with only a separate 300 unit like now.
There is a need to lead the army slowly.
“Liches, follow me and raise the undead. From now on, we will raise all the corpses and fight an all-out war against the enemy army.”
“Yes.”
“I can command 5,000 troops.”
“If you give me time, I can raise 2,000 right away.”
“It’s easy to organize.”
There’s no problem.
The lichs under the castle lord are all strong men who can do one thing. With a little effort, the 10,000 corpses that fell into the fortress were instantly transformed into an army.
Considering their capabilities, they could probably lead hundreds of thousands of armies.
There is no need for even resupply.
Those who are already dead.
All you have to do is advance day and night.
and… .
If we end this war well, Edeline will be able to live in peace for a long time.
After the war is over.
Saving hostages.
If you achieve victory.
Not only will Edeline’s status rise, but she will also become known for her connection to Necropolis. Then, the planned invasion and Edeline’s dark future may change.
With this incident, the future incident I was worried about can be easily resolved.
In other words, you will be able to have fun with your students.
About a hundred years.
For peace with such a disciple… .
“If you’re ready, go.”
This place will be paid for as a sacrifice.
*
Aaron Valley is the strongest country.
The capital of the Batia Empire.
Condra.
There are two huge cliffs here.
And the emperor, the only deity of the empire, resides in the royal palace, which is so high that it is not enough to build an entire cliff into a building.
This is why the empire was able to recruit two demigods to invade.
The power of the emperor himself.
That alone is enough.
However.
[Keydor… Report what happened.]
He couldn’t help but be angry.
Aside from the failed invasion, they were unable to capture even after suffering a huge loss of power from a man named Dirus. As a result, it has crossed the gate and is shaking the empire with a counter-invasion.
This is truly ridiculous.
This should not happen.
Because this is Aaron Valley’s strongest country.
Because it has a high status that cannot be easily raised in other places.
But what is this?
There is no such thing as shame.
Kaidor answered while kneeling on the ground with both arms that had been joined not long ago.
[…] There is no shame. But something is strange. As far as I know, although Dirus was strong, he wasn’t strong enough to break through the gate barrier. There must be something more I don’t know about.]
Quickly.
[Are you saying that?]
[…] … … .]
Kaidor just lowered his head.
Absolute ruler of the empire.
Camos.
Even he has no choice but to become small in front of the 700-year-old emperor of an empire.
No, I just couldn’t understand.
How on earth?… .
That’s all I can think.
I admit that Dirus is strong. In addition to magic, he used undead and even swordsmanship. Even if you fight one-on-one, there is a high probability that you will lose.
But isn’t this a different case?
The gate was opened.
Clearly the gate defenses were sufficient.
Dozens of noble warriors and two great warriors were waiting. This means that even if you come forward, you will not be able to resist and will fall down.
You broke through it?
[For sure… There’s definitely something more. There will be someone to help him.]
[Who dares oppose us? Who on earth can help him even if he knows that it is the Great Batia Empire!]
[…] … … .]
The emperor’s anger was natural.
Aaronveli is a powerful world, and the Batia Empire is the most powerful among them.
If you know how strong the Uk tribe is, it is natural not to confront them. So your guess may be wrong.
but… Then again, doesn’t that make sense?
He couldn’t have done this alone.
There’s definitely something there… … .
“Your Majesty Kamos!! Koiret, who was in command of Fort Maybrick, requests an audience!!”
At that moment, the gatekeeper announced loudly. Suddenly, the commander came here. As for Fort Maybrick, it was a fortress that collapsed three days ago. Of course, the emperor, who had doubts, tilted his head and answered.
[…] Let them in.]
Kuuuung~
Trudging… .
A huge door opened and a warrior approached with precarious steps and knelt down.
“Meet Your Majesty… … .”
[You escaped alone. I know very well how you will be treated. Did you shamelessly run away to another city and board a teleportation group?]
“Yes… Because I have something to say.”
A calm voice.
A voice that has given up.
It looks like it’s already over.
Their eyes were full of despair. What on earth did he see?
[…] Tell me.]
“… Here’s what the enemy has to say… … The crime of disturbing the lion of Necropolis. Pay the price.”
[…] … … what? Yes, Necropolis?… ]
It was a moment when the emperor’s face was greatly distorted.
*
A week into the Aaron Valley invasion.
Capture 5 Batia Empire cities and fortresses.
and… .
“I am an envoy of the empire!!”
Only now did the response come.
The commander who let me go earlier must have conveyed my words to a man called the Emperor.
I am the Lion of Necropolis.
That must be why he rushed over there so quickly.
“Open the way.”
Tens of thousands of undead waiting in the occupied fortress retreated all at once. A Uk warrior walked along that path, swallowing his saliva.
At first glance, he appears to be an 8-star commander.
“If he was an envoy, he would have received orders from the emperor. Recite what I said.”
“… … His Majesty Kamos knows the futility of this fight. To end the war, he presented you with one way.”
“Hmm?”
“Retreat the army and return immediately. Then everything that has happened will be silenced and there will be no more war.”
“… You’re so good at talking bullshit.”
Kuguk.
The so-called Shinigami was crushed with such force.
“K… … .”
Although he looks like an 8-star strongman, his face has hardened considerably.
“Is there no second one?”
“… second?… … .”
“You really won’t say that you came all the way here just to make such a fuss, right?”
“That… Now, think about it! Aaron Valley is strong. We are on a different level from Edeline, and no matter how much Necropolis helps, they cannot ignore us. If we start an invasion like this!!… .”
“What if you earn it?”
“All the countries of Aaron Valley will unite to punish you.”
“Hmm… .”
He looks at me like I’m wondering how he is.
It seemed like he really thought this type of threat would work on me.
No, if I hadn’t mentioned the name Necropolis in the first place, instead of talking to me like this, they would have tried to kill me somehow.
If you think about it, it’s a huge step forward… .
As expected, the profit margin calculation is not correct.
“I ask you one thing.”
“… Do you want negotiation? I have received His Majesty’s order, so I am prepared to listen to some extent.”
“Did you listen to the person who asked for your life?”
“… … … What are you talking about?”
Many Edelin people were taken away.
Most of the men died.
Women are abused or sold.
Children would also have been victims of human trafficking.
Someone must have been sold cheaply to the Chimera Hospital.
Because healthy organs and arms make money.
Many people will have already separated from their families forever and crossed the river of no return.
“Did you listen to my plea to save my family? Did you feel good about crushing a crying woman and feeling satisfied? Was it so fun to trample and sell the weak who were struggling to survive?”
“… I know your anger well. But this is war. No way, negotiate with those feelings-”
“There is no negotiation.”
“What… .”
“Tell it. I will suggest two paths to that emperor. After liberating all the Athelin people, the emperor himself can kneel before me and negotiate again, or he can fight to the end and destroy the empire.”
“Mi, you crazy person… Are you really going to try until the end?! No matter how Necropolis it is, fighting all of us is crazy-”
Power factor area.
Cat punch.
Wow!!
“… Huh!!?… … .”
Whiyuwooung!~
I sent him flying to the other side.
[The conversation is over. If you come again, I will kill you, so clearly tell me what I just said.]
Although Aaron Valley is a strong world, it is not enough to spread prestige throughout the tower.
But what about Necropolis? It is a powerful force that most people who have climbed the tower know.
One of the strongest forces.
This means there is nothing to be afraid of in the first place.
We will pay back the full price to those who do not know how to atone.
so… .
The war continues.
*
Where Venus headquarters is located.
Kentubria city square.
“Trust Priscilla!!“
“The God who will solve difficult times has returned!!”
“Wow!!!!”
“… … … .”
Several believers wearing white clothes chanted like this on the streets, attracting residents.
An invasion force coming from Tam.
An evil group that threatens Edeline.
The believers insisted that they needed divine protection to defeat them, and that they should believe in Priscilla, the almighty sun god.
“… Okay… … As expected, it’s strange.”
“That’s right. I feel strangely reluctant.”
Ronica just stared at the scene. Andro was next to her.
It’s been a week since I lost contact with the black guy.
Abnormal phenomena occurred all over the world.
The appearance of God.
Follow the sun god Priscilla.
Follow Gaia, the Earth God.
I kept hearing these two names.
To be honest, I thought it would boil over for a moment like a cult and then disappear.
Because there is no God in Edeline.
but… .
“Look!! This is the almighty sun’s protection given by Priscilla!!”
Wow!~
Those believers who are working hard on missionary work.
His body shone like warm sunlight. Surprisingly, as he was basking in the light, a cozy and warm vitality seemed to be transmitted all the way to here.
Andrew said after looking at the scene carefully.
“Didn’t you say that those religious people suddenly appeared not long ago?”
“To be exact, from the moment the invasion force withdrew.”
“… The timing is so strange. I don’t like it when they act like they kicked them out. Actually, it was said that a black man did it.”
“… … … .”
“Ronika?… .”
Ronika went into deep worry mode.
Withdrawal of the invading army.
Training center closure.
The disappearance of Medis.
Leonis ascends the throne.
An ancient god who suddenly appeared.
As Andrew said, the timing is perfect.
It felt as if one person had planned all of this and was moving desperately.
No, I was curious before that.
The disappeared god has returned.
That doesn’t make sense.
But… .
“Have faith in Almighty Priscilla. He came to this world.”
Those words that came down.
Why am I so anxious?
Why do those words sound so true?
If it’s true, it’s not a bad thing… I was worried that it might be dangerous.
Ronika did not ignore that intuition.
Therefore, he answered in a voice full of caution.
“Maybe it’s true.”
“Huh?… .”
“The gods of Edeline may have returned.”
“But how?”
“I don’t know. But if it’s real, I want to find out what’s going on. therefore… Are you going to help Andro too?”
“Heh! of course. For your information, I also have 2-star mana, so I have a lot of stamina!”
“Good. Let’s investigate properly!!”
“But what are you going to do?”
“I’m trying to infiltrate the Magic Tower with those believers who use strange powers by attaching informants. Because it is difficult to know properly from only the small numbers.”
“Magic Tower? Why the Magic Tower?”
“It’s still just a heartache… Maybe that’s where the problem originates. If it has anything to do with King Caesar. Because the timing overlaps so much.”
“Keu… If that’s the case with Ronika, then that’s probably it. good! Then, I will tell my grandfather and ask for a tour of the Magic Tower.”
“Tour? Is something like that possible?”
“Heehee~ Of course. What kind of person is my grandfather? It may take a while to get permission, but there shouldn’t be any problem. So, Ronika, let’s go together!”
“… … Is that so? Actually, I was curious about what kind of place the Magic Tower was.”
“Me too. That’s why I brought it up!”
A busy situation.
A god who suddenly appeared.
Even Venus, an intelligence organization, could not figure out the cause and purpose of this incident. Because there is little information to collect about ancient gods and magic towers.
so that.
“Good. Let’s go! I’ll reveal all your secrets!”
“Of course!”
“Let’s do some preliminary research first.”
“I will do my best to help you!”
The two decided to go to the Magic Tower.
We began collecting information more actively.
Without knowing what truth awaits.
