Episode 253: Return to territory

Yukiel has already arrived within a stone’s throw of Count Agnes territory.

Hundreds of thousands of undead legions were all stored away, and they ran like crazy with the goal of a quick return.

The attack on the noble faction’s fiefdoms stopped after wiping out a few fiefdoms.

‘That would have been enough stimulation.’

It was just a simple performance anyway.

Visiting and exterminating the noble faction one by one was just a warning and a show to drive them into a corner.

In order to force the legions under the influence of the aristocratic faction to return, it was necessary to expose their military power.

“The king must be busy too.”

The probability that the King does not know is low.

There is a high possibility that you heard it from the mouth of the Marquis of Arha.

By now, they will probably be sending envoys to neighboring countries and trying to solve the problem politically somehow.

There is a possibility of doing something wrong, but there are also benefits to be gained.

Quickly make neighboring countries aware of the seriousness of the current situation and give them time to come to their senses.

“Well, I’ll try my best, but it won’t work out the way I want.”

Yukiel raised the corner of his mouth, thinking of Henry Belcarte.

The king will try to give up a lot to somehow eliminate interference from other countries.

However, such actions will actually be seen as impatience and urgency from the enemy’s perspective.

At that time, when he was smiling softly and snorting, Tribon next to him spoke carefully.

“Master, but wouldn’t it be possible for the King to succeed in negotiations and prevent foreign powers from intervening? Especially if you already know the master’s intentions.”

“Why do you think that?”

“It makes more sense to choose him if you can take advantage without bloodshed.”

Yukiel laughed and shook his head at Tribon’s words.

“Humans do not always make rational choices. “Especially when viewed from a national framework.”

“What is that… … .”

“A lot of things are intertwined in politics. It may be to divert internal affairs to the outside, it may be to gain an upper hand among forces, or it may be a means of testing princes for succession to the throne.”

“… … .”

“For kings and nobles, the small sacrifices of soldiers are not important. War is just a means to get something else, it is not the goal. “Especially if it’s an opportunity like now that will never be repeated.”

Each kingdom has its own circumstances.

We shouldn’t think of them from Belkarte’s perspective.

No matter how much they try to give up, it may be more attractive and profitable for neighboring countries to take advantage of the current situation and start a war.

Above all, Belkart’s geopolitics and power composition also play a role.

Belkart borders three kingdoms, and the aristocratic faction accounts for 70% of the territory.

But, the entire army of the noble faction disappears?

From the perspective of neighboring countries, it is nothing more than desirable prey.

Also, no matter what treaty is concluded, it will be meaningless if Belkart collapses.

Since satisfactory results cannot be achieved with all three neighboring countries, intervention by foreign powers is certain.

“But there is a master in Belkart, right?”

“so?”

“Master, wouldn’t you think that slaughtering a large army of the noble faction with your great power could result in great sacrifice?”

It was like that a thousand years ago, but humans always make foolish choices.

Sometimes they risk their lives for the same reason, called honor, and they sometimes make countless sacrifices because of trivial emotions.

In particular, they think within the framework of general ideas and do not readily acknowledge things that deviate from it.

‘Am I arrogant? No, you guys are arrogant.’

Nobles have always been like that.

They deny and mock until the end.

However, you only realize it after the results pile up and you achieve countless feats.

Feeling the wonder and fear of existence outside the framework of ideas.

So they will do that again this time.

Because I haven’t shown much yet to just drop my tail and run away.

Yukiel looked at Tribon with a grin on his face.

“Well, it’s not like there’s no possibility. So I have to take medicine.”

“If you take drugs… … .”

“Strategy tactics and all, let’s play as they intended.”

In fact, it’s just a strategy and tactic, there’s no need for anything like that.

The fastest and surest way is to just go all-out and finish it once and for all.

However, if the civil war ends too quickly and with an overwhelming victory, intervention by other countries becomes a bit ambiguous.

Therefore, it is necessary to clap and play to some extent.

So that the enemy can invade with peace of mind through fierce close combat.

“It starts now.”

You must use this opportunity to enter class 9.

If we go to war with the noble faction and the three kingdoms, we could slaughter at least 10 million people.

They are not ordinary citizens, but are all regular soldiers, knights, and wizards.

Although they are small, they are people who have accumulated their own karma, and cannot be compared to ordinary Yeongjimin.

If you can kill at least 10 million regular troops, it won’t be difficult to reach the 9th class.

“Okay, let’s get started. “Great war.”

* * *

The Countess of Agnes exudes a strange atmosphere.

Yukiel arrived at the territory and checked the current situation through Eina.

“Eina, what is the atmosphere in the territory?”

“I am very disturbed. “Not only are a significant number of citizens leaving, but prices in the territories are skyrocketing and residents are in trouble.”

Young Ji-min’s departure was already expected, and the number of people who will be recruited again when the war ends anyway.

“How much food do you have now?”

“We purchased a large amount of food through Benson Company, so food is sufficient. Rather, the problem is daily necessities. “They are taking advantage of things that are difficult to supply and are making profits ranging from several to dozens of times.”

“Hmph, since it’s a wartime situation, pay 1.5 times the normal price and buy it all up. “If they refuse, have them forcibly confiscate it and collect the payment from the Lord’s Castle.”

“We will do it.”

“Oh, and what about the theme park?”

“As you said, we have planned to conduct internal testing.”

It may not be the right time, but it is the only way to brighten the atmosphere within the compound.

Well, no matter how helpful it may be, it’s better than nothing.

“As of the current time, declare martial law and relocate all residents to the central city. Also, we will be holding a four-day festival for internal testing of the theme park, so prepare thoroughly for that.”

“I will.”

Eina nodded gently and smiled sweetly.

Yukiel held her back and quietly swept the territory.

“You’re going to be busy in the future.”

The war has already begun.

However, that doesn’t mean we’re fighting right away.

It is bound to take some time to conscript and reorganize the military.

It is not a force of one or two thousand, but a large force of at least several million.

Reorganizing and moving them is a problem, but supplying food to feed those troops is a bigger problem.

‘I’ll wait. So do everything you can.’

They do what they do, and you do what you do.

It’s not just them who need time.

It is impossible to stay locked up in the territory forever.

Considering the time of departure, we need to spread a deep and wide moat and build a bridge over it, and there are many things to prepare.

In addition, we need to wake up the Dark Knight and Dark Mage who are working to reinforce their power.

Also, you need to make an ‘Arch Lich’ using the corpse of a mage obtained from the Ers Plain.

Just as the enemy needs time, we need our own time.

“Okay then… … . “Would you like to check if it’s cooked well?”

Yukiel smiled and headed to the underground laboratory.

The ego has already collapsed and death has been sufficiently marinated in the body.

It’s a bit disappointing, so it’s better to wait a little longer if you have enough time, but even with this amount, you can make excellent Dark Knights and Mages.

“Okay then, shall we start from the bottom?”

I had already obtained enough materials several months ago.

All that remains is to refine the materials and recreate various materials through synthesis and processing.

Yukiel drew a huge magic circle in the underground cavity and created various magic items such as media and cores to strengthen the Dark Series.

Meanwhile, when Yukiel was making additional materials in earnest, the undead were also having a busy day.

“Hey you idiot! “Who wants to do magic engraving like this?”

“… … .”

Darkin was so frustrated that he hit Sadeer on the head with a crazy expression.

“Is your brain corrupted? The whole flow is unstable because of you! Tsk, get out of my way!”

Darkin, with a frown on his face, continued to engrave delicately, refining the unstable engraving.

Each executive-level minion, including Darkin, took on separate missions and prepared for war.

Tribon and Helford changed the terrain with a large number of undead to fortify the territory, and according to Eina’s design, they made the terrain unsuitable for large armies to move and advantageous for defense.

Eina was in the midst of preparing for a festival to test the theme park’s interior, and Butler continued the work of building a huge and wide moat on the outskirts of the territory with a large number of undead and raising a bridge.

Merphis and Godric, along with a large number of Sadiers, carved out the anti-magic defenses of the outer castle.

Sooooo… … .

A low, eerie energy.

Black smoke rose and covered the underground laboratory.

Yukiel split the death-soaked skin, fused the bones into triple bones, and increased its sturdiness by converting matter and adding multiple bones.

And using the corpse fragments of the crystal dragon that had been saved for this occasion, ‘corpse fusion’ was achieved.

Crack, crack… … .

As the pure white crystal fused with the body, the bones made of triple bones turned into crystals with tremendous hardness and strength, and released extreme cold.

The fine crystals sprouting from the crystal bones penetrated the muscles and fabric of the entire body like capillaries, slowly absorbing the energy of death around them.

“oh? “This is what happens.”

Honestly, I was surprised.

I didn’t know it would be like this.

Just by looking at it, it is a very high-quality corpse.

I am already looking forward to seeing how strong the Dark Knight and Mage created using this will be.

Yukiel inserted a pre-made core into the solar plexus and placed pre-made media and catalysts around the corpse.

After completing all preparations, Yukiel slowly raised his hand and recited the spell.

“You who are swamped in the deep, deep waters, wander forever trapped in the darkness. Open your eyes. “Dark Knight.”

The magic circle on the floor emitted dazzling light.

A black storm raged, white snowstorms and cryogenic cold swirled around.

Everything around it was frozen, and the walls of the underground laboratory were frozen, like a freezer that had been left unattended for months, and a thick layer of pure white frost had piled up.

Shootaaaaa-

The Dark Knight, who opened his eyes in a black storm, slowly raised his body.

Due to the fusion of corpses, everything in his body was changed, and his skin color became extremely pale.

The man, who raised his head as he clenched and opened his hands as a surge of enormous command power, looked at Yukiel’s face.

“Have you become undead?… … .”

“Do you like your new body?”

The Dark Knight, Charol Geston, slowly raised his head and looked down at his transformed body.

“It’s not my body. Overwhelmingly stronger than when alive… … .”

Charles Geston could feel it.

That he had a power that was incomparable to when he was alive.

By becoming Yukiel’s minion, he became aware of all knowledge and situations, and the bad relationships he had during his lifetime became meaningless now.

He slowly knelt down and bowed to Yukiel.

“See you, master.”

“Out of respect for you, I did not erase your memories and self. What happened while you were alive is what happened when you were alive. From now on, live a new life.”

“I will.”

Yukiel slowly raised the corner of his mouth at the words of Charol Geston, who became the Dark Knight.

In fact, it’s no different than not erasing his memory.

Unlike Dullahan or Black Ghoul, the Dark Knight can use the same martial arts skills he had when he was alive.

However, if you remove all memories, wouldn’t all understanding of the state you realized during your lifetime disappear?

‘It’s all for me, but… … .’

Yukiel chuckled and looked at the numerous corpses that would become the Dark Knight.

Because they were the ones who had to do a great job in this war.
