Episode 278: Persuasion and persuasion

Numerous voices ringing loudly.

Yukiel glanced at the kneeling Northeastern Noble Association and then looked at Letan.

“What are you doing?”

“… … .”

“The reason for wiping out the nobles is to strengthen the royal power. But are you saying we should revolt together with the resistance?”

In response to Yukiel’s absurd remark, Letan continued quietly.

“Don’t we need heroes in difficult times?”

“I am the one who created that difficult situation.”

“There is no hope for Belcarte. “You don’t know much, do you?”

“It’s something I just have to sort out.”

“So, what do you think will happen when everything is sorted out?”

Yukiel narrowed his eyes.

It didn’t seem like he would go away easily.

“The hearts of all people will turn to Agnes. “It is said that the royal family exists, but in reality, it is a famous office.”

“… … .”

“All the nobles in the kingdom will only look out for Agnes, and the surrounding kingdoms will also only look out for Agnes’s intentions.”

“… … .”

“Belkart is just a shell. Even if we don’t want to, the kingdom has no choice but to move according to Agnes’ will.”

Overwhelming power and presence.

The public sentiment of all people and the change of mind of nobles.

The people want a stronger fence.

Lords with fiefs will choose stronger fences to protect what they have.

If anything, the moment he and the royal family lose, they will be the ones who die.

“No way, the reason the resistance was created… … .”

“yes. “It’s all for this time.”

My head was pounding.

How can we make them give up?

I’ve thought about it at least once.

What would it have been like if the Demon King had not descended a thousand years ago?

Maybe he would have established a huge empire and become emperor.

Even if I got tired of it quickly, I wanted to try it at least once.

However, that is only a story about when you are at the top of all things with overwhelming power.

Now there is Etelos and there is also another version of myself.

This means that the fence that needs to be protected is only getting bigger.

Yukiel looked at the Northeastern Union, as if he had no choice but to fight for his life.

“I am not the type of person to play king. Do you know who my enemy is and want to come into my arms?”

Everyone was trembling and unable to breathe due to the huge creature.

However, despite this, Letan barely withstood the oppressive pressure and continued speaking.

“Whoever that enemy is! “A single king would have more influence.”

“Even if the enemies are Etelos and the Demon Lord?”

“… … !?”

Letan was startled and raised his head.

All the nobles in Northeast Township raised their heads in confusion.

“Well, what is that…” … .”

“The devil… … .”

Eyes full of confusion.

The nobles of Dongbuk-myeon looked at each other with doubts.

At that moment, Count Iolier spoke quickly as if asking what he was saying.

“What do you mean!?”

“Etelos has moved. They… … . “We are trying to wake up the devil.”

“… … !!”

“In the not-too-distant future, the Demon King will awaken and the Dark Gate will open. I cannot protect you. “Killing Etelos and the Demon King is too much.”

All the nobles’ eyes trembled.

These are the words of no one else but the legendary 9th class great mage.

I am not one to say lies carelessly.

‘Demon, the devil… … .’

Everyone was embarrassed and swallowed dry saliva.

At a time when everyone was wondering what to say, Count Valyes spoke quickly.

“then! Even more so, you should ascend to the position of king.”

“Why?”

“This is a crisis that will require all kingdoms on the continent to join forces. “In order to concentrate their power and move according to Agnes’ wishes, it will be more convenient to be in a position appropriate for that level.”

“… … .”

“What are you worried about? Agnes has over a million undead and capable minions. “Didn’t you manage the territory like that?”

Yukiel frowned and was troubled.

Obviously, you can’t stop it all alone.

The reality is that it is difficult to handle another self right now.

In that case, we first need the power to stop the devil’s army.

If you can concentrate all of your strength before each attack blows you down one by one, the damage will be less.

‘but… … .’

Is it really necessary?

Just reaching class 9 is enough to qualify.

There is only one person on the continent, and everyone considers him a legend.

What would happen if you were in that state and took the lead?

As Yukiel’s worries continued, Letan bowed his head again and continued.

“I won’t ask you to protect me. just… … . Please just allow me to follow.”

“… … .”

“It doesn’t necessarily have to be the king’s position. As I said before, it is okay to create a free trade city. “Please just allow us to be together wherever we are.”

“Your life could be in danger.”

“If what I said earlier is true, there is only one option. “If I’m going to die next to Agnes, I’m going to die anyway.”

Yukiel slowly closed his eyes.

If you can’t stop it, they’re all going to die anyway.

When you see another plan of your own, it is not something you can run away from.

Because he plans to turn the whole world upside down.

“Just think about it. First of all, Elbion is an urgent priority. “It is not too late to make a decision then.”

“if… … .”

“One, don’t have high expectations. To me you are a burden, and the kingdom is a weakness.”

With those words, Yukiel entered the castle again.

I think we need to give the resistance fighters some time to rest for the future march.

* * *

Kwaaang, kwaaang-

A pouring attack of siege weapons.

The high walls were tattered and the fortress was in shambles.

“Belcarte’s dogs! die!”

“Kill all enemies!!”

Numerous troops poured in with fierce shouts.

Reinforcements arrived, and even though it was an invincible fortress, it was completely helpless in the face of the enemy’s large army.

Although they were doing their best to block it, it was obvious that it would be taken over soon if things continued like this.

“Damn… . Defend till the end! “Reinforcements will arrive soon!”

We don’t know if reinforcements will come or not.

But now there is no escape route.

The only way to pass the time is somehow.

Meanwhile, the Third Prince of Ceylon gritted his teeth as he watched the soldiers of the Northern Alliance waging a siege, holding on for dear life in the fortress.

“You fucking kill me… … . “How many days has it been?”

We were given one day to take over.

However, it dragged on for over six days.

The military force was so small that I just wanted to ignore it and go on like a chimney.

However, he could not bear to do so because of the 3rd Corps commander who served as a staff member by his side.

Ignoring the right opinion of a subject has a negative impact on one’s qualifications as a monarch, and if one ignores the opinion of a person who has gone through many hardships and does as he pleases, and something goes wrong, he will end up in the worst situation without any excuse.

“3rd Corps Commander! “Can’t we just ignore it at this point?”

“… … .”

“How many people do you say are in that fortress at most?”

Elbion’s 3rd Corps commander remained silent.

Surely, at this point you can just ignore it and move on.

Even if the mastermind is caught, they will not be able to leave the fortress.

However, the terrain was too bad for that.

Once you cross Siapalan, you will reach a wide prairie, but there are dangers before that.

In addition, the main force will soon be dispatched from the kingdom with a supply unit.

To avoid having to do a task twice, it was better to finish it even if it was a little late.

“We must occupy it.”

“3rd Corps Commander!”

“The main unit will be heading out soon along with the supply unit. “We can’t leave it at risk.”

It was a time when the 3rd prince, Ceylon, was gritting his teeth and trying to vent his anger.

One knight opened the barracks door roughly, sweating profusely.

“What’s going on!!”

“Well, it’s urgent!”

“Urgent?”

“They say the war between Belcarte’s noble faction and Count Agnes has come to an end!”

3rd Prince Ceylon slammed the table hard and glared at the 3rd Corps Commander.

I thought it would take a little longer, but it’s already been sorted out.

It was obvious that if this happened, the conquest of Dongbuk-myeon would become more difficult.

“What shall we do now!? “What do you mean by taking it easy?”

“… … .”

“Now that the noble faction has taken care of it, Belkart will also join forces! “I lost a good opportunity!”

The 3rd prince, Ceylon, harshly attacked the corps commander as if expressing his dissatisfaction.

But at that time, the driver who was reporting shook his head vigorously and opened his mouth.

“Well, that’s not it! 3 Princes!”

“What did you mean?”

“Well, the war is a great victory for Count Agnes! All troops of the noble faction… … . They say we have been completely wiped out!”

“W-what!?”

A war that I thought was like hitting a rock with an egg.

Before the noble faction killed him, they tried to attack him and take care of his supplies.

But, just one person wiped out millions of noble factions?

“What nonsense are you talking about!?”

“Well, that’s not the end!”

“You mean it’s not the end?”

“It’s not exact, but they say they’re marching here with over a million undead!”

“… … !!”

It didn’t make sense.

what? A million undead?

The noble faction has been wiped out, but there are a million undead?

At the time when 3rd Prince Ceylon was frozen, the 3rd Corps Commander was also astonished.

‘The noble faction was wiped out?’

At first glance, he had 200,000 troops when he went out, and with that he wiped out millions of aristocratic factions.

But this time, it is five times that number, a whopping 1 million people.

This means that even considering the possibility of errors in information, there are at least 500,000.

If so, we can never win with our current forces.

“Your Majesty the Prince! “You must retreat!”

“W-what?”

“He destroyed the noble faction! We can’t defeat him with our current forces!”

“Are you saying I can’t do anything and just run away!?”

“Even if you fight, you must join the main force and fight! “We are at a disadvantage both geographically and military-wise!”

It was a time when Ceylon was biting his lip and thinking about the words of the corps commander.

A soldier shouted into the barracks with a thoughtful look on his face.

“Well, I think you should come outside and have a look!”

“What happened again!?”

“I think you should see it for yourself… … .”

Ceylon and the corps commander urgently came out of the barracks.

And there, tens of thousands of gigantic skeletons filled the sky.

“Well, what is that…?” … .”

“no way… … .”

As I looked up at the sky with a shocked expression, countless skeletons opened their mouths.

Ji-ing, ji-ing… … .

Red energy was concentrated in the skeletons’ mouths, and a storm of magical power swirled.

The red energy gradually amplifying from the skeletons’ mouths gradually filled the sky.

Corps Commander Ermis anticipated what would happen in the future and quietly opened his mouth with a trembling voice.

“Retreat, retreat… … .”

「… … .」

“What are you doing!? Retreat!!”

It was a time when the soldiers were startled by the corps commander’s shout.

Red rays of blood poured from the sky.

Kwagwagwagwagwang!!

The earth was turned upside down, and countless troops died all at once, their bones and flesh separated.

With the red rays pouring down with nowhere to avoid, Legion Commander Ermis immediately grabbed the backs of the three princes and threw them onto his horse.

“Tell all troops! “Retreat with all your might!”

With those words, he immediately got on his horse and rode like crazy, leading the elite knights and all the troops in the rear.

There was no time to take care of supplies or anything like that.

If you make a mistake, you could all die on the spot.

Corps Commander Ermis retreated with all his might and looked back.

“Kwaaaaaak!”

“Keooeok-”

Countless screams and screams engulfed the battlefield.

The battlefield, which had been overwhelmingly pushed just a moment ago, was facing a disaster that could not be resisted.

And, from a very far away place, I could see the undead advancing, filling the ground completely black.

“Si, you truly are a monster!”

The report was not wrong.

I just received it too late.
