Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans - Chapter 107



Chii-i-i-i-!

I watched the shells become molten iron in the air.

Right before the cannonball hit the wall, it was caught by the magic that wrapped around the wall.

The magical energy melted the shells like before, became an invisible wall and bounced the shells, or passed through the castle wall and returned it to the artillery.

Tung— Bang!

“Oh, sh*t!”

A necromancer was frightened and cursed.

A shell that returned right next to me hit me.

He was almost killed by a bullet fired by him.

“I heard that the dwarfs put up barriers like that.”

Kiryan saw that and clicked his tongue.

A barrier built by elves to keep out orcs and goblins.

The magic around the barrier was also similar to the magic around the capital.

No, I applied magic with a higher level than that.

“I don’t know how the piglets got through it.”

Glancing at me, Kiryan muttered.

From noble mtl dot com

It made me wonder if I was involved.

“well.”

I didn’t bother

Actually, if it wasn’t for me, it would have been impregnable.

It’s a shame because I knew the loophole and collapsed the ground to neutralize it.

If you ignorantly insisted on breaking through the front, you would never be able to break through.

Aren’t artifacts less powerful than that?

“What are you going to do now?”

“Keep shooting. Artifacts are not infinite.”

The artillery continued to fire while changing the point of impact.

The walls are wide. It is not enough to defend with only 3,000 men.

How many Artifacts show such performance with simple installation?

There must be a point somewhere where you failed to install the artifact.

“That’s the point where it collapsed in the last siege.”

Kiryan had participated in the defense of the capital.

Because of this, I knew the point of collapse of the wall that caused the fall.

The point was not one, but several.

“Because you have to make a hole or two and the defenders block it. I drilled several holes to keep it from blocking. Couldn’t they have fixed it all already? try one by one There must be a gap.”

The artillerymen aimed and fired at each point.

bang!

After several attempts, I found a gap.

“Good!”

Kiryan clenched his fists.

A wall that is not protected by artifacts.

The wall swayed violently as if collapsing with just one collision.

“Stop the bombardment!”

“Aim the muzzle to one place!”

Titus, a member of his household, raised his right hand and spun it around.

The corpses then turned all their barrels to the point he pointed at.

Kwakwang! bang! Kwakwang!

rumble——

It is a wall that has once collapsed.

It was not even properly repaired, so the second time is easy.

The walls collapsed in vain as dozens of siege guns struck.

“I will attack. Are you fine?”

Kiryan suppressed his excitement and asked my doctor.

After being demoralized by me in a previous battle, he became docile.

Considering the lofty pride of a blood relative, his appearance was unexpected.

– Knowing my subject.

Vlad’s soul in the ring let out a sneer.

I ignored the ring’s thoughts and nodded.

“good. good!”

At Kiryan’s cry, the 30,000 army screamed and ran.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Compared to before, Kiryan’s army was greatly reduced in number.

In the previous battle, about 50,000 were mobilized, but now there are only about 30,000.

It was because I was pushed unilaterally while I waited for the Allies to exhaust their reserves, and wasted my time bypassing my men and musketeers to the flank and rear.

When I added my undead army, the number was close to 50,000.

“Stop! Stop it!”

The defenders camped on the hills created by the collapsed walls.

Shields were placed in front of them to make walls and long spears were erected.

puck! Puff!

Skeletons, zombies, and other crappy groups couldn’t approach.

Because the gap in the collapsed wall was narrow, they could not assert their numerical superiority.

It is only threaded through the skewer that goes into the gap.

Kwakwang!

Then the siege artillery fired another shell.

“Cuck!”

“That coward!”

As the square was disturbed by the shells, a large monster intervened.

Ooh oh oh oh!

Large monsters like ogres and trolls.

I didn’t care if spears or arrows stuck in my body.

Just caught up in the fury created by the servant, he moved forward.

“this guy!”

Flash!

As a dwarf swung a hammer, light exploded.

The light was purple, and the hammer struck the ogre in the stomach.

The ogre crumbled like dust as the electric current crackled and bounced.

“You cannot conquer this city!”

The dwarf yelled as he raised his hammer.

Following him, the defenders also shouted and burned their will.

“It won’t be easy.”

Kiryan frowned and bit his nails.

I turned and gestured to Titus.

Titus immediately turned the muzzle.

pop! Perbung!

If the entrance is narrow, you can make several entrances.

I continued to knock on the walls that were not protected by artifacts.

If the number of entrances to be guarded increases, you will have to split the troops with no enemies.

On the other hand, if you look at the numbers alone, this side outnumbered the enemy by more than ten times.

“Don’t put your focus first, take your time.”

“You mean to consume your stamina?”

“Yes. It is okay to lose all the undead. Disperse the enemies and consume their stamina while constantly continuing the offensive from all directions.”

We were attacking from the north.

Because of this, the defense forces are concentrated in the north of the equator to block the situation.

I pretended to attack by sending some troops to the south, east, and west.

The defenders went on the defense by splitting their strength.

“Now.”

The main force rushed in as the sunset began to set.

Before noon, the battle of Balhan had continued uninterrupted until this time.

The enemy was divided into four and placed a defending force of less than 2,000 in the north, where the main force was located, and they completely exhausted their stamina.

“Heh, heh heh…!”

The Dwarves breathed heavily and went to defense.

The will to stop us was still strong.

However, the body could not follow the will.

f*ck!

Booong, the moment the mace flew in, the dwarf’s gaze accurately read the mace’s movements. However, the body could not escape in time.

Until the mace wielded by Rachel struck her head down, she was bound by the chain of fatigue and did not budge.

“Oh, it’s pretty solid.”

Rachel clasped her numb hands tightly and frowned.

The material of the helmet worn by the Dwarves was Mithral.

If it was made of iron, I would have smashed my head with the helmet.

All that was done was to crush the helmet.

“If you cover your whole body with something like this, it won’t be easy to deal with with a musket.”

She mumbled and stepped back.

“die!”

A dwarf with a hammer that burned an ogre to death.

The dwarf, who seemed to be the commander of the defense forces, charged.

Rachel hid behind the monster without confronting him.

“go away!”

Jigsaw Jigsaw!

The current swept away the monster as it bounced in all directions.

The magic power was still vast, and the monsters touched by the hammer were charred and crumbled.

“Heo-eok, hee-huh…”

However, the user’s physical strength was not vast.

Denggung!

Calliope, hiding behind the crumbled monster, extended her sword. The Dwarf with the hammer also protected her whole body with Mithral armor, but even the God’s mineral was like a piece of paper in her hand.

Of course, the blade couldn’t stand it and broke right after that, but she snatched the hammer from the corpse of the dwarf and swung it.

Rumble— Kwa Kwang!

The clear sky was distorted and lightning struck.

“Tongue, how could a blood relative do that…”

“Back off! Abandon the city!”

As the walls were breached, the Dwarves turned their backs.

After only half a day, the enemy entered the city center.

You must have realized that it is not something you can endure just because you have to come.

The Dwarves systematically dispersed and attempted to escape.

“Kill them all!”

“Only the dead are my father’s people!”

Kiryan took the lead and pursued the dwarves.

Those who were lazy to collect the loot were all hunted down, and those who barely took care of themselves and ran away managed to escape. But they were few. The absolute majority of the 3,000 defenders had to bury their bones inside the castle.

They were incorporated into Kiryan’s army posthumously.

“I might get caught.”

After the battle, Kiryan said.

There was concern in his voice.

“There were no survivors in the last battle, but there are quite a few this time. Since they’ve seen the use of gunpowder weapons, they should know you were involved. What do we do?”

“Okay.”

“Are you okay?”

“I just need to make sure they don’t catch me even if they know about my involvement.”

It is difficult to lie undetected.

Realistically, it’s a lie I can’t tell.

That’s why even if you get caught, you have to run far away so you don’t get caught.

That’s why I keep making incidents.

“That’s why we secured this place.”

The gods of Greek mythology each have their own domain.

Just as Zeus, for example, has the sky, lightning and order, and Hades, for example, death and the underworld.

If I, like them, had a realm of dominion, wouldn’t I be a god of lies and tricks?

I laughed inwardly and headed for the imperial palace.

###

The imperial palace of the Mycenae Empire was tidy.

There were no battles in the palace.

It seemed that the Allies had sorted it out after the occupation.

But it’s a story when you see it with your own eyes.

Kiyiyi——

I can’t say that when I see the spirits running rampant in the imperial palace.

“It’s a place where the magic power is quite unstable.”

“As always, this place is so creepy.”

Rachel and Kiryan said.

Because they can’t see the soul.

Rachel must have felt it at first glance, but she did not express it.

“…”

Calliope narrowed her eyes and looked around.

The place where her eyes reach is the place where the soul dwells.

When the spirit caught her gaze, it got scared and withdrew.

Knowing the existence that you dare not touch even in death.

“Edar.”

Mersephone pulled up her sleeve.

As she was walking beside me, her eyes trembled.

“I hate here.”

The trembling, as if frightened, must be seeing the soul.

Because a playful soul is staying around the child.

Mersephone looked at me to avoid eye contact with the spirit.

“Back off.”

I slightly released the magic of the soul that was suppressed.

Then, the spirits that had been teasing Mersephone fled in fright.

“Stay by my side. Then he won’t come.”

“huh.”

it’s a terrible place

The screams don’t stop.

How many souls did Vlad catch?

Grass, uh— give it———

it hurts so much

Bowl, this has come—

It is human…

Captured souls to enlarge the vessel of the soul.

The soul placed the throne in the center of the imperial palace like the eye of a hurricane.

Spinning round and round around the throne, he let out a scream.

“Edar.”

Calliope pressed me harder than usual.

Her gaze turned to the throne of Emperor Vlad.

“Don’t go any further. Dangerous.”

“yes. There is too much mana. You could get caught up in it.”

Rachel followed up on her warning.

Even if you can’t see the soul directly, there is a movement of magic power.

And through my thoughts, I should have known what it was.

Kwaak…

Mersephone held my hand tightly.

“why? what’s the matter?”

Only an ordinary blood relative, Kiryan, tilted his head.

I chinned toward the throne.

“That is the treasure that the Great Emperor and Tiamar want.”

“what? Tiamar?”

Kiryan blinked at the word Tiamar.

The name of the dragon came out of nowhere, so he seemed embarrassed.

“If it’s just a place where many good artifacts are stored, Vlad doesn’t have to protect this place. Vlad, if it were you, you wouldn’t know. Why would the holy object that controls him covet the artifact?”

You might think that we are aiming to avoid handing over to the representative system and its tribes.

But what if the cost of protecting the artifact is a decisive battle in which both sides collide?

Would it be easy to choose a gambler that could take away both the artifact and the Mycenae Empire if defeated?

“Even if it’s a gamble, there’s something to be taken.”

“Is that what it is? Is that chair?”

I took out the pendant.

The pendant lit up and trembled violently.

Along with him, a ring with Vlad’s soul.

“…”

Suddenly, I felt a gaze.

I looked up and saw the window on the side wall.

A white dove was sitting on the window sill.

– Human Edar.

Rod’s voice echoed in his mind.

Only I heard his voice.

He didn’t say anything after calling me.

I didn’t even ask for anything from me, I just watched.

As if wondering what I would do.

‘What do you want?’

I saw the emperor’s throne again.

The throne had a rough shape made of a straight stone.

“Don’t come closer.”

I bit the heirs.

It is said that the soul possesses magical powers.

The whirlpool created by the soul is a really strong storm of magical power.

Right now, it’s just screaming and spinning steadily.

Any disruption to stability can lead to dire consequences.

jerk, jerk…

I approached the throne alone and stood before it.

There was a chilling silence around the throne.

I couldn’t hear the screams of the soul at all, as if something had blocked it.

I soon found out why.

The vortex of the soul was stopping.

‘Cause all the spirits in the vortex are watching me.

‘It’s different from before.’

Has your soul ever been this quiet?

no, there wasn’t I was always busy crying.

However, at this moment, it was really quiet.

‘It’s strange.’

Ignoring her gaze, she reached for the arm rest of the throne.

Previously, when I touched it, I felt a tingling sensation as if I had received an electric shock, or my mana was sucked out.

“…”

Instinct alerted me.
