The Prince, Oscar Schpelz
Soldiers of the SS take out the machinery from the wagon.
A total of 4 devices in the shape of a cylinder.
Two of them are taken out, and the soldiers each run left and right.
Do the wizards of the Black Magic Tower, who felt ominous, focus their firepower on the device?
Now that they could not use the magic cannon, there was no way for them to break through the shield of the SS.
The guards take out the other two devices, hold them and run their horses behind the tower.
Inside the tower, the executives who commanded the low-ranking wizards from the outer wall.
A total of five of them gathered in the middle of the hallway.
Holding each other’s staff, standing in a circle.
They begin singing in an ominous language other than the Imperial language.
A black sphere that rotates in the middle of the five according to the chant and gradually increases in size.
The red magic circle gradually became clearer on the floor.
The chanting continued, and suddenly the spinning black sphere stopped increasing in size.
The soldiers drove cylindrical devices into the ground to the north and west of the tower.
The cavalry also completed the installation of machinery to the south and east.
A mechanism that surrounds the horse tower in a square shape.
At the same time, the black sphere spinning in the middle of the wizards begins to sink into the magic circle on the floor.
In line with this, a red magic circle of the same shape appeared in the air above the western mechanism.
A black sphere of the same shape, but incomparably larger, emerges from the magic circle.
“Magician! shield… ”
The commander of the Guards Magic Corps shouts.
“Not required!”
The commander-in-chief prevents this.
He orders all soldiers around the Western Mechanism to retreat.
At last, the sphere that had escaped from the red magic circle began to spin violently and fall toward the ground.
“Meteor… ”
To be precise, it wasn’t Meteor.
someone muttering like that
“The barrier is activated!”
The commander-in-chief shouts
Accordingly, the wizard who operated the main device in the north turned the handle.
“Activate the barrier to nullify the magic circuit!”
At the same time, waves spread from the mechanical devices surrounding the magic tower in all four directions.
The same wave as the device Elin used in Dark Forest, but much more powerful.
The waves of the four devices resonate with each other, and the magic circle engraved on the stone gate loses its light.
The waves reach the black spheres falling from the sky, and the spheres fade little by little.
“Prepare for shock!”
In the first place, the size of the sphere was too large, and eventually it crashed into the ground without being destroyed.
Quang!
The machinery of the west disappears without a trace.
“Stop Amplifier 2! Unrecoverable!”
“Does not matter! Break the barrier!”
At that command, the wizard turns the handle again and the wave stops.
“… God damn it.”
The butcher frowns in front of the master’s room.
Immediately after the vibration is felt.
No matter how much he turned the handle, the prepared self-destruction magic circle did not activate.
“Is the circuit burned out?”
He tried to enter the master’s room directly, but the door wouldn’t open.
—
over the river.
The 3rd SS Captain opens his mouth while checking the battle taking place under the horse tower.
“Ready to Doha.”
“Yes? The operational plan is… ”
“It is the order of His Majesty the Emperor.”
“… All right.”
The commander asks cautiously.
“How about greetings from the academy?”
The captain of the bodyguard pauses for a moment, then answers the commander.
“Well, it doesn’t matter. Only block the entrance to the inside of the tower.”
“Yes, I understand.”
—
On the other hand, the movement of the Imperial 3rd Guards was also reported to the 5th Guards commander.
“… These damn things.”
he goes teeth
However, there was no time to delay.
“Breaking through the front gate, infantry and magic troops rush in. The cavalry surrounds the magic tower and hinders their entry.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Prioritize securing data rather than subduing the enemy. This is the order of His Highness the Prince.”
The commander, guards infantry commander, and cavalry commander bowed their heads.
Kwakwang!
The stone gate, which had lost its defense, made a roar and collapsed in an explosion.
“Rush in!”
With those words, the soldiers of the SS entered the Black Mage Tower.
In a situation where the magic circuit was completely burned due to the barrier, the stone gate that closed each area was just a slightly annoying obstacle.
It was nothing more and nothing less.
bang!
The stone gate is destroyed by the magic of the guards.
The wizards of the Black Mage Tower waiting in the back fire a black orb.
But.
Kwajik!
There was no way the guards would be attacked by low-level mages, not focused fire.
“Quaagh!”
With a scream, the wizards of the Black Mage Tower fall down easily.
Similar things were happening all over the Black Mage Tower.
“Stop it! membrane… ”
Quang!
The knights who received instructions from the captain of the guards scoured the rooms of the Mage Tower.
“Here is the material that has not been incinerated!”
They were focusing on securing data rather than eliminating the wizards inside the tower.
A passageway on the 1st floor of the Black Magic Tower.
There, the magicians of the Magic Corps and the soldiers of the SS.
And the deputy master of the black horse tower met.
bang!
“Damn, be careful! Not normal!”
A butapju that easily blocks the magic of the Guards Magicians.
As he swung the staff once, black flames ran down the hallway floor and walls and flowed forward.
“Hey, stop it!”
It was the magicians who shouted and activated the shield.
“aah!”
Before they could defend themselves, black flames engulfed the soldiers’ bodies.
But the sub-tap owner was alone.
Soldiers of the SS, knights and wizards continued to flock.
Finally, the captain of the guard infantry and the commander of the guard magic corps arrived.
While the shield blocked the constant barrage of magic, the sub-top master smiled bitterly.
He pulls out a case from his bosom.
What was in it was a black marble.
After fighting Sally, it looked like the marble Louis had taken.
The other thing, though, was that, unlike that, this one wasn’t smashed and was intact.
The deputy chief master opened his robe and loosened his chest.
In front of the bewildered guards.
He thrust the marble into his chest without hesitation.
right after.
“Kuaa!”
A groan escapes from his mouth.
The butap master’s skin turned black, and then demonic spirits swayed around him.
However, it did not stop at that stage, and the sub-tap owner gradually changed into something non-human.
—
smart.
“Come in.”
Emperor of the Empire, Oskar Schpelz says.
His voice was pretending to be calm.
I couldn’t hide the trembling and anxiety I felt there.
The door opens, and the prince’s henchman, William Aren, enters the room.
“How did it go?”
Again, the prince’s voice trembled slightly.
But William replied with a bright smile.
“We have succeeded in securing the data, Your Majesty.”
“Hey, is that really true? haha! Ahahaha!”
The prince asks again with a serious, but smiling expression on his face.
“contents is?”
“It is currently being transported, but I haven’t confirmed it exactly yet… ”
William lowers his voice.
“… We definitely have research data on magic and body strengthening.”
Again, he was a prince who was about to burst into laughter.
He asks with a worried look on his thoughts.
“I wonder if my father didn’t notice.”
“It is said that the 3rd SS tried to enter the Black Mage Tower during the battle.”
“What? Didn’t my father say he would entrust it to me!”
Oscar, who had been laughing until just now, suddenly burst into anger.
But William was not taken aback.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. It is said that all of them were incinerated after obtaining data before the entry of the 3rd SS.”
“Well, that is fortunate. damage?”
the prince asks
The Imperial Guard is the Emperor’s army.
From the 1st Guards to the 5th Guards, 10,000 each, a total of 50,000 are the elite soldiers of the Empire.
The army of the empire is composed of the territorial forces owned by each lord and the direct imperial family.
Among them, the Imperial Household Guard is composed of the Imperial Guard and the corps of each military district, and the Imperial Guard follows only the orders of the emperor.
At the same time, members of the imperial family also occupy key positions in the military to ensure clear control of the direct control forces.
The princes and princesses are assigned to the corps in the region except for the township of Schpelz, which oversees the city of Schpeltz, respectively.
The only exception here is the Crown Prince.
It is tradition that the crown prince inherits the command of the 5th bodyguard, one of the imperial bodyguards that only the emperor can control.
However, Oscar Schpelz has not yet been formally appointed as crown prince.
The fact that he was able to command the 5th Guards was entirely thanks to the support of the Dukes of Epsylt and the Dukes of Ryurike.
To be precise, it was pressure on the emperor under the guise of support.
In any case, the command authority has not yet been completely handed over, and the number that can be commanded is half of that, 5,000.
However, with that alone, people judged that the pendulum of the competition for the throne had passed to the prince.
In the first place, with the two dukes of the empire supporting Oscar, the outcome was almost certain.
However, the reason why he still couldn’t become the crown prince and people said it was a race for the throne.
It was because of the restraints of the current emperor who feared the growth of Oscar’s power.
This time, even in the process of subjugating the tower, the emperor’s intentions were clear.
I entrusted the 5th Guards to battle, slashing its power.
The 3rd Guards under the direct control of the emperor will take only the research results of the black magic tower that might exist.
Because of that, the 3rd Guards must have moved differently from the pre-determined operation.
However, contrary to expectations, the number of wizards left in the Black Horse Tower was extremely small.
Therefore, the fall of the Black Horse Tower was also faster than the 3rd SS commander expected.
William answers the prince’s question.
“Ninety-four dead, about three hundred wounded.”
At that, the prince burst out laughing again.
Considering that he was the most elite member of the Imperial Family, it was by no means a light number.
Compared to the fruits obtained, well.
“ha ha ha! My father gave me a great gift to save only ninety people!”
Also, he was a stupid emperor.
“Your brother? Are you still playing house at the academy?”
“Since the last report, there have been no unusual movements.”
What she does at the academy.
For example, it was a situation where reports came in from the prince, even dating Louis Wallenstein.
oscar mumbles
“Sister, by the time you graduate from the academy, everything will be over.”
Now, his sister.
There was no problem with Kalia Schpelz or anything like that.
The enemy Oscar will face is the emperor.
