Episode 281: Decision

“Punch through! “We must break through!”

A knight shouts.

A large number of knights poured in with soldiers after him.

“Waaaa!!”

“die! Bones!”

The soldiers shouted.

They raised their morale by swearing and yelling.

The skeletons sneered at those people.

『Sweet, seeing the burnt water on your luscious skin makes me lose my appetite!』

『Hmph, aren’t there any women or wizards? They have soft flesh.』

The fully armed skeletons were chattering away.

It was a strange feeling, slightly different from the ferocious atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the soldiers who heard the skeleton’s voice froze momentarily.

“S-It’s not a skeleton!”

“Well, if it’s an undead that can talk… … .”

They are high-level undead.

Because it is fully armed, there is no way to check what is inside.

I just assumed that since they were large-scale undead, they were naturally the lowest-rank skeletons.

The morale of the soldiers was broken by the fact that many of the undead were high-ranking undead.

Even the knights at the forefront were equally surprised.

However, the knights worked hard to encourage the soldiers and marched on.

“It’s just an evil trick! “Advance!”

The knights raised their aurors and increased their power.

Darkin, who was watching the scene in front of the skeletons, burst out laughing.

“Giggles, there’s no such thing as a fire moth. “Isn’t that right?”

Darkin placed a hand on Tribon’s shoulder.

At that moment, a red line was drawn on Darkin’s hand.

“Remove your hand before you cut.”

“Hi!?”

Darkin hastily withdrew his hand.

If it were a tree, it seemed like it would really cut it.

Darkin hastily withdrew his hand and glared at Tribon, spitting out harsh words.

“You toxic bitch! Can’t you hang out a little?! “It’s sad to be old too!”

Treebon looked at Darkin with pitiful eyes.

“Have you washed your hands?”

“What a clean shake! “Why do undead wash?”

“All the other guys wash. “You’re the only one who doesn’t wash.”

“gibberish! “I didn’t see you washing!”

“Are you an exhibitionist? “Did you wash in front of anyone while you were alive?”

The skeletons’ shiny ears seemed to perk up at Tribon’s point.

For the skeleton, the tree was the goal of life.

Starting as a skeleton, he not only gained soft skin and a beautiful appearance, but also achieved the status of the strongest.

I was depressed when I saw my smooth skull, gaping eyes and nose, and assertive teeth.

However, I had no doubt that it would one day evolve and become like Treebon.

‘hygiene!’

‘You have to wash!’

‘Shower’ and ‘Bath’ were engraved on the skeletons’ heads.

Since it only has bones, it will be easy to wash.

I decided that every skeleton would scrub their bones thoroughly with a steel scrubber.

“It’s him! That old man controls the undead!”

“Kill him!”

The knights came running fiercely.

Magic poured in from behind.

And at that time, Tribon quietly took out a red sword.

Slurp… … .

The sword was pulled out with an eerie sound.

At that moment, red lines appeared on the knights’ bodies.

It was that moment when I lowered my head in confusion.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk

It was an instant.

The body was split along the red lines drawn on the body.

Dozens of knights were reduced to nothing more than a piece of meat.

She grabbed her sword once again.

Red lines were drawn on the chests of countless advancing soldiers.

The soldiers who recognized him stopped running and trembled.

“Please…” … .”

“Save me… … .”

I couldn’t finish my sentence.

Thousands of soldiers’ chests were cut into even pieces and fell down.

Darkin, who was watching him from the side, clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“Well, I don’t understand.”

This is incomprehensible.

Currently, Tribon is stronger than not only Halford, a higher-level entity, but also Ramdel, the leader of the higher-level Dark Knights.

Starting with the weakest skeleton, the Skeleton, his strength far exceeds that of the Dark Knight.

It’s not a difference in evolution; both have entered the third evolution.

However, when entering the third evolution, everything changed due to the trait called ‘greed’.

The ‘Blood Knight of Death’ skill, which is the key to infinite growth, was also influenced by the trait ‘Greed’, so the skill was promoted to ‘Endless Desire’ and all previous work was repaid in the form of stats.

Not only that, but all skills and characteristics continued to evolve through corrections to the power of infinite growth, so Tribon became the strongest being in the Legion at this point and took on the role of ‘Supreme Commander’ of the Legion.

Therefore, it was also the idol of all skeletons.

“You handle the rest.”

Tribon sheathed his sword and looked at Darkin.

“Is it really necessary to take care of an old man?”

“Shall I tell you everything I kept secretly from the master?”

“It meant working harder. “You are distorting my meaning!”

Darkin rolled up his arms and unleashed multiple magic.

Looking at him, Tribon shook his head with a small sigh.

Meanwhile, the Second Prince, who was watching the battle unfold from afar, chewed his lips.

“Damn it!! It must be penetrated! “Send in more troops!”

“Wow, prince! You must avoid it! “We must return the military!”

The second prince grabbed the lieutenant by the collar and glared at him with blood-filled eyes as if he were going to eat him.

“How can it be so simple! “Shouldn’t we break through the road and join the main force?”

“Enemies are advancing from Belum Territory on the left and Merton Plain in the rear! “If you’re not careful, you could be surrounded!”

The second prince’s fists were shaking and he could not control his anger.

I went in too deep.

Instead of blocking the enemy, they crossed the border and took control of all important points that would serve as a route of retreat.

Starting with him, they are advancing into Belkart and putting pressure on them little by little.

A crisis that could result in isolation and extermination if you make a mistake.

“Then where do you mean we should go!? “Tell me!”

“Well, first of all, we have to join forces with the 1st Prince!”

“You idiot! “You think it was me who didn’t think of that!?”

“B-but… … .”

“We need to find a spot near the border! That way, when the main force goes out, they won’t come to us first!”

The commander of the 2nd corps, who had been watching the 2nd prince’s troll behavior from the side, couldn’t bear it anymore and pushed his lieutenant away and grabbed the 2nd prince by the collar.

“You fucking idiot! “It’s not a problem that can be solved by just rushing into it!”

“W-what!? Commander of the 2nd Corps!”

“Look at the terrain! Not only are they occupying the high ground, but they can’t push through the narrow alley in numbers! “Are you planning on killing all the soldiers?”

“Is this guy crazy? Aren’t you afraid of the aftermath of the aristocratic faction!?”

“Is it time to worry about the aftermath when everyone in the royal family has died because of your unreasonable behavior? With your pathetic level, don’t you even feel the level of those guys? “It’s not something you can break through if you just rush at it!”

Hearing the 2nd Corps Commander’s shout, the 2nd Prince gritted his teeth and looked at the dying soldiers.

At a time when such internal division occurred, all of the surrendered Belkart nobles who were watching the situation exchanged glances.

If the situation was so unusual, it was obvious that he would end up dead.

The surrendered nobles of Belkart each exchanged glances and nodded.

“Gah, gag!?”

“Ugh!”

It was then.

Belkart’s nobles, who had surrendered, revolted along with their soldiers.

He cut down the commanders and knights around him and stabbed the soldiers nearby to death.

“Kill the enemies!”

“Everyone get away from the enemies!!”

An unusual situation.

At the sudden change, the 2nd Corps commander threw the 2nd prince and chewed his lips.

“Have you seen these disgusting guys!!”

“Shut up! “Did you forget that we were originally nobles of Belkart!!”

The 2nd Corps commander’s eyes trembled and he grabbed his sword.

Anyway, their troops are scattered throughout the 2nd Corps.

Even if the troops rebelled, they account for less than a third of their total troops.

“Chew it to death…” … . What are you doing!? “All troops retreat!!”

The 2nd Corps had no choice but to take a step back once again.

First of all, the urgent task required merging the 1st Corps and the military.

Securing an escape route is something to think about only later.

There wasn’t a lot of food to spare, and if you made a mistake, you could become isolated and starve to death.

“All troops retreat!!”

The 2nd Corps retreated at a rapid pace.

Meanwhile, Tribon, who had been watching him, put away his sword and turned his back.

What Yukiel ordered was not the annihilation of the enemy army, but to slowly herd them like catching mice.

* * *

Yukiel laughed.

A king appoints a king?

It also tells you to conquer another country and become its king.

Before I got angry, I started laughing because of the absurdity.

“It seems like you were in a lot of hurry.”

The annihilation of the noble faction.

He must have been afraid of the aftermath.

In fact, it is not a problem to take away the throne if you want to.

Also, even if we don’t do that, it will still be awkward once the war is over.

At that time, the word is king, and even the king will have to watch his own thoughts and follow his orders.

“He is a king… … .”

I don’t want the fence to grow.

Because there are so many things to protect.

It’s always been like that, but when you have something to protect, you tend to become weak.

However, Count Vallière’s words also make sense.

Like all nobles, the king is also obsessed with ‘status’.

No matter how high a person is, even if he or she bows his head and shows courtesy in front of him, when he turns around, he complains and discusses his lower status.

If you think about that, ascending to the throne isn’t that bad.

If we can gather all the strong players on the continent and form a death squad before the Demon King awakens, we will have a much better start.

“For that, being the king of a country is not enough.”

must become emperor

Only at that level can the Holy Empire move.

If you have to conquer Yata and Peres anyway, you can just merge Belkart and merge the four kingdoms into an empire.

Shouldn’t it be at that level to be worthy?

“The sacrifice of a cow for the great… … .”

That’s right, considering the vast number of humans across the continent.

Since your opponent is your opponent, you will not be able to protect everyone.

Many people within the fence may face death.

‘I can’t just focus on whether my feelings are good or bad.’

It feels bad when someone within one’s circle dies.

I feel like I did something wrong and it becomes a burden on my mind.

However, when we think of the Demon King, and even more so when we think of Etelos and our other selves, it is necessary to unite the power of the entire continent.

“Just don’t think of it as a weakness.”

It doesn’t matter how many fences are destroyed or how many people inside the fence die.

It’s impossible to save everyone anyway, and sacrifices will have to be made.

Yukiel turned his head and looked outside.

“Please honor the king’s command!”

He is still bowing and asking to be his master.

Not just nobles, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Yukiel looked down at the teaching paper issued by the king once again and thought for a while.

After thinking for a while, thinking about the pros and cons of each and what would happen in the future, Yukiel slowly stood up, holding the school paper.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk-

Yukiel took a step forward and stood in front of the prostrate resistance fighter.

Numerous nobles and soldiers sensed Yukiel’s presence and fell silent.

Yukiel looked down at them and slowly opened his mouth.

“Do you think that if I become king, I will take care of you and protect you from enemy threats?”

「… … .」

“I won’t care if you die. In war, sacrifices are inevitable. If you are in danger, I will abandon you mercilessly. “The enemy is too strong to care about you.”

「… … .」

“I will ask. Still, do you want to become my subjects? Nevertheless, can you accept me as your master and follow me within my enclosure?”

There was a cold silence.

However, the nobles and soldiers shouted at the mayor to leave, as if they had been waiting for him.

“I will handle it all! Please accept me as your subject!!”

Yukiel slowly closed his eyes and sighed at their decision.

Then, he raised his presence and looked down at the numerous nobles and troops.

“I have no intention of becoming king.”

「… … .」

“If I have to become a monarch, I will become an emperor.”

「… … !!」

Everyone raised their heads.

Every being in the hall looked up at Yukiel with trembling eyes.

Yukiel, who calmly received that gaze, spoke with the dignity of an emperor.

“We will create an empire by merging the Three Kingdoms and Belkart. “If this is Heaven’s command, I will gladly follow it.”

The nobles of the resistance group were shocked by Yukiel’s bombshell declaration.

At the sight of Yukiel declaring that he would become the emperor, everyone in the resistance fell down to their other knees.

“I will follow you both physically and spiritually!!”

Yukiel, who looked down at the sight of hundreds of thousands of troops lying flat on their faces, slowly closed his eyes and turned his back.

If it’s something I have to do anyway, I promise to take the fastest route.
