Episode 251: Purpose

Late at night.

Marquis Arha headed to the mansion where Yukiel was staying.

A large number of undead were camped at the entrance of the mansion, showing off their power as if in a show of force.

Marquis Arha, who made his way through the undead and entered the mansion, was guided to the bedroom where Yukiel was.

He was wearing shiny silk pajamas and holding a glass of wine to his lips.

“Why didn’t you kill me? “If I was going to do something crazy, I could have killed them all.”

Yukiel answered his question leisurely, smelling the faint scent of wine.

“Because then the plan might go wrong.”

“plan?”

“If all the leaders die, division may occur unexpectedly. “I don’t want that.”

“What is your purpose? Are you planning to push out the noble faction and take control of the kingdom?”

“Why are you doing such a bothersome thing? I am not interested in real power of the kingdom. “Is it none of my business whether the king or the nobles own that?”

Not interested in power?

Then why on earth would you do such a reckless thing?

“So what is the purpose?”

“purpose? Why are you asking the obvious? “Of course it’s not a large body, right?”

“… … !”

“In the past, to save a large number of corpses, you had to massacre innocent residents of the territory.”

“What is that… … .”

“Actually, Young Ji-min’s value as a corpse is not very good. “To get decent corpses, you had to go to war with the regular army, risking all kinds of notoriety.”

“… … ?”

“But the world has gotten so much better. Doesn’t one justifiable war bring in tens or millions of high-quality corpses?”

The Marquis of Arha was dumbfounded and looked at Yukiel blankly.

Rather than risking war for some purpose, you want war itself?

If it’s such an absurd reason, isn’t there even room for negotiation?

‘That’s the reason? Have you seen such a crazy person? … .’

I had nothing to say.

Is he really confident of defeating the entire noble faction?

Judging by the fact that he killed all the mages of the Eye of Truth, it is clear that he possesses great power.

Anyway, since things have come to this, a conflict with him is a foregone conclusion.

The problem was the scale of damage to the aristocratic faction that occurred in the process.

“Are you really confident?”

“of course.”

After seeing Yukiel’s proud expression, the Marquis of Arha controlled his emotions and looked at Yukiel calmly.

“If you really wanted war, there was a way to fight another kingdom rather than a civil war. “Isn’t it safer that way and the scale of the war is bigger?”

Hearing Marquis Arha’s words, Yukiel smiled cruelly and took a shot of wine.

“Of course, that’s also in the calculation.”

“… … ?”

“You guys are just appetizers. “If there is a vacuum in the power of the noble faction, is it possible for the surrounding kingdoms to remain silent?”

“no way… … .”

“If you withdraw the border forces and concentrate all your strength, the royalists will naturally have no choice but to concentrate their strength to keep him in check. “If Belkart enters a civil war, the surrounding kingdoms will naturally feel that this is the time and show their ambition.”

“… … .”

“Once all of you noble factions are eliminated, I will immediately declare war against the invading kingdoms under the pretext that the kingdom was invaded. Isn’t it fun? I will slaughter millions and destroy their lives, but I will be called a ‘hero’ rather than a ‘demon’. “He is a hero who strengthened royal authority and prevented foreign invasions.”

It’s crazy.

I’m sure he’s crazy.

Regardless of whether you have the ability or not, are you willing to kill millions of people just for the sake of corpses?

This is such outrageous and vain bullshit.

However, I was concerned about the confident look in his eyes.

His eyes seemed to be based on the assumption that he would naturally win the battle against the noble faction.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! really… … . “He is a mad and arrogant man.”

“You will have to gather all the power of the noble faction to stop me.”

“Your opponents will not only be the noble faction. “It will be all of Belkart.”

“Hmph, do you think the royal family will join the noble faction?”

“It’s a matter of the royal family’s reputation and national prestige. A king’s power comes from authority. “If you remain silent after such a thing, no noble in Belcarte will recognize you as king.”

That is correct.

The king was cornered.

However, there is no need to join hands with the noble faction.

Because it was designed that way from the beginning.

“That is why the king will rather give me justification and be hostile to the noble faction.”

“On what basis?”

“Don’t you think that would be the case if you were the king?”

“… … .”

“The King will think. “If you win, you might be next.”

“… … .”

“All the power of the noble faction was concentrated and a large army was gathered. Now that the army has been raised, it is possible to turn the tip of the sword.”

Marquis Arha narrowed his eyes.

As Yukiel said, there is a possibility.

Even if the noble faction doesn’t want to do that, the royal faction has no choice but to be very wary.

“It is truly a mad plan, but can I tell you in detail?”

“What can you do if you know that?”

“… … .”

“Nothing changes. You have no choice but to engage in all-out war with Me. Otherwise, the power of the noble faction itself will collapse.”

The corners of Yukiel’s mouth slowly rose.

When the Marquis of Arha saw him, he clenched his fists.

Even excluding his personal power, he was a formidable opponent.

We can’t change the course of the game, but I don’t think we’ll lose.

However, I am just worried about what will happen in the aftermath of this war.

“good night. Try blocking it somewhere. “I will cover the Estel River with red blood.”

“That’s good. “It will all be your blood.”

Yukiel, who easily let go of the pressure from Marquis Arha, shrugged his shoulders.

The Marquis of Arha, who saw him, turned his back on him as if he had nothing more to see.

Yukiel saw him and slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

I thought it was going to get quite fun from now on.

* * *

A large undead army continued its advance.

Every time I took a step, the ground froze and spread the bitter cold.

“What, about 200,000?”

It was the number of undead legions.

A 100,000-strong army was created using large-scale monsters slaughtered in the Ers Plain.

Like the Ent Skeleton, they were all created by fusing a wheel and skeleton strengthened through material conversion with a corpse.

Just because it was fused with the wheel, it wasn’t gross or anything like that.

Just like the Ent Skeleton, the black-brown outer shell and muscle only filled the bone joints.

‘Well, I can’t even see it in the first place because I’m armed.’

Although it is said to be made from the outer armor of a wheel, the design of the armament is all the same.

The only thing that is slightly different is the color of the armament because the materials are different.

However, there were no changes.

“It’s definitely better.”

It is a much more advanced object than the previous Ent Skeleton.

By investing system points for the death-type ‘corpse fusion’, the effect of fusion has become more powerful.

Wheel skeletons are much more powerful than the Ent Skeletons before evolution.

In fact, I also raised the skill level of corpse fusion, and I was slightly hoping that through fusion, the wheels would sprout wings.

A flying skeleton, isn’t it amazing?

Yukiel smiled and raised his head and looked ahead.

Kwakwang, boom boom!

A pouring baptism of magic.

The walls engraved with anti-magic defenses were cracking little by little from the shower of magic.

Yukiel smiled at him, raised one hand and snapped his fingers.

At that moment, a series of red magic circles were created in the air, black energy wriggled, concentrated, and shot forward in an instant.

The black sphere shot out with a roar as if it were tearing through the air, shattering the sturdy castle wall into pieces and turning countless buildings beyond it into dust.

“Kwaaaaaak!”

“Kuk, kukukuk-”

Numerous screams rang out.

As soon as the path was cleared with a single spell, the undead army slowly advanced with cold eyes shining.

How long has it been since the undead army advanced and slaughtered the soldiers?

White flags were waving everywhere, showing that there was no will to fight anymore.

“Please save me!”

“Ooh, we’re not at fault!”

All the soldiers put down their weapons and knelt down and prayed.

The soldiers of Viscounty Prossen, who belonged to the aristocratic faction, were shaking their backs and hitting their heads on the floor so hard that their foreheads were torn.

No matter how advantageous Mercury was, there was no end in sight to the number of undead.

Fighting against such an absurd enemy was tantamount to suicide.

Yukiel looked down at the soldiers who had lost their will to fight in fear and roughly waved his hands.

And at that moment, the undead army marched forward, slaughtering the soldiers who had laid down their weapons.

“Kaaaaaaak!”

“Save me!”

“Monster, monster… … . “Gagging!”

The soldiers were frantic and busy running away.

This was not a war, it was just a simple massacre.

As the brutal massacre continued, the owner of the estate, Viscount Frossen, approached at high speed, waving a white flag.

“Gmaaaaaaan!”

Viscount Frossen’s growl continued.

When Yukiel slowly raised his hand at his appearance, all the undead stopped moving.

“Surrender, didn’t you say you would surrender!?”

“Who said they would accept surrender?”

“W-what!? They invaded without a declaration of war and brutally massacred those who had no will to fight! “What shameless behavior is this!”

“… … .”

“No matter how much war we wage, there must be at least a minimum of respect for the other party!”

Yukiel, hearing his anger, yawned briefly and quenched his appetite.

“So, are you done talking?”

“… … ?”

“For a will, it’s quite long.”

After saying those words, Yukiel roughly waved his hand.

At that moment, Viscount Frossen’s head rolled down.

The knights and soldiers of the territory who saw this could not hide their astonishment.

“Monster, monster… … .”

“It’s the devil. It must be the devil… … .”

My whole body was shaking, weighed down by indescribable fear.

Looking at the soldiers, Yukiel used magic to amplify his voice and spread it throughout the territory.

“The citizens remaining in the compound, listen. Everyone, lock the doors and don’t come out. Cover your ears and close your eyes. “Everything will be over before the sun sets.”

With those words, he massacred all the regular troops in the Prosen territory.

There is nothing wrong with doing such a cruel thing.

‘The more you push yourself into a corner, the more toxic you become.’

Indiscriminate massacre.

They will take this as a warning.

A warning that war is unavoidable and that if you don’t kill, you have no choice but to die.

He will soon increase the unity of the noble faction and stimulate hatred and revenge.

And, such an atmosphere will make it impossible to turn the tide of the game.

You will be forced to choose only one option.

“Let me help you. So that you can do your best.”

The aristocratic faction’s own power alone is not enough.

The military deployed at the border must be mobilized.

That way, the surrounding kingdoms will not be able to resist the temptation and will bite into it.

Yukiel raised the corners of his mouth, thinking of the Marquis of Arha.

“So you didn’t tell me? “There is nothing you can do.”
