Ahead of the undead corps, the Imperial magic tower held an operational meeting.
The most important thing to deal with the undead is to subdue the necromancer who created the undead.
The top priority in this operation is the Death Road, which has been rated EX.
The problem is that although there is no doubt about its existence, the reality has not yet been grasped.
“Currently, there are four provinces of the Ibrium Empire that have been invaded by the undead corps. The Death Lord is expected to be encamped in one of the four estates. Therefore, we divide our troops into four and attack four provinces at the same time.”
It was a bold strategy.
Still, the difference in the army was hundreds of thousands of undead vs. 100 people.
But, to divide the 100 or so troops into four again.
That means you have confidence in your skills.
And it was also a reasonable decision.
If the Death Lord was in one of the four realms, then sequentially smashing the Undead Legion was the same as leaving room for the Death Lord to escape.
If you were thinking about escaping the Death Lord, it was the most reasonable decision to hit the four realms at the same time, without even having time to escape.
“What are you going to do?”
The troops were already organized.
What remains is a situation in which Olivia and Leon, who participated in the war too late, have to decide which unit to participate in.
It was Leon, not Olivia, who answered Serman’s question.
“We will move separately.”
“Are you going to move? Do you have any information?”
“I’m not calling it information, it’s just a hunch. According to the information of the Empire, the reality of the Death Lord has never been captured until now, right? If so, I wondered if the Death Lord did not come out of the dungeon.”
Serman shook his head inwardly.
Usually dungeons have a breakout and the exit closes shortly thereafter.
The purpose of the dungeon is to transmit the power of the demon realm to the human world, and when a breakout occurs, its purpose is over.
But what if the demons can keep the dungeon going?
Wouldn’t it be possible to take a geographical advantage by stationing the Death Lord, the core of the Undead Corps, in the dungeon?
There has never been a case like that before, but it’s not a very unlikely story.
Of course, it was just a foreboding, a story with very little possibility.
So there was no reason for Sherman to stop Olivia.
If Olivia, who had hoped for an unexpected possibility, went in vain, there was a very high chance that the achievements of this battle would be fully captured by the Imperial magic tower.
However, Sherman felt a sense of insecurity at Leon’s confident expression.
“Then the tower will support the troops. Take 8 wizards, 2 each from the 4 magic towers.”
“You don’t have to.”
Leon immediately rejected Sherman’s words.
They don’t know, but Leon already knows.
The Death Lord is stationed in the dungeon.
Leon also didn’t know how powerful the Death Lord was, but he didn’t need the support of the Tower to monopolize that achievement.
However,
“Don’t get me wrong. Yongin people. Even if you are the fiancée of the Fourth Princess, you are just an uninvited guest in this battle. The authority to command this operation rests with our Imperial magic tower.”
In a normal country, the command of war should be occupied by the highest rank, namely, the Princess Olivia.
However, in order for the empire to function as a nation from the invasion of the demon realm, the empire that had been disrupted by the evil of the previous emperors needed a clear chain of command.
As a result, the power of the imperial family was weakened and the power of the magic tower was strengthened, which caused a power struggle.
Leon had no choice but to understand the situation.
Instead, only the Imperial Knights, following the orders of the Imperial Family, supported Olivia’s party.
Among the 7 Sword Masters, Daniel Astro, the swordsman of the Empire, who boasts the best skills, and the 7 knights he led were following for the purpose of escorting Olivia.
“It is an honor to meet you like this. Sir Leon.”
Daniel Astro is an omniscient person who was granted the surname of Astro and the title of duke based on countless achievements, even though he is not a member of the royal family.
Nevertheless, his attitude toward Leon was very polite.
“You don’t have to be too polite. Astro Ball.”
“It cannot be. Sir Leon is the fiance of Miss Olivia. He is the one who will lead the future empire. If so, it would be natural to be polite as a knight who swore allegiance to the Empire.”
Leon thought that there was no need to be more polite, but now he couldn’t say that the engagement was just a disguise, so he just shook his head.
And Sherman continued the story.
“It is important to keep in mind that the lower undead, including Ghoul, Durahhan, and Specter, will be annihilated with the subjugation of the necromancer, but the S-class undead, Death Knight and Acrich will not.”
The S-class undead, Death Knight and Acrich, had the peculiarity that once summoned by a necromancer, their abilities persist even if the necromancer who controls them disappears.
Nevertheless, the reason for setting the subjugation of the Death Lord as the top priority is to prevent the number of S-class undead from increasing beyond this.
“The first goal of subjugation should be the Death Lord, but if you encounter Death Knight and Archrich, you will have to work hard to reduce the number of them by even one more.”
It will also have the purpose of securing an escape route after subjugating the Death Lord.
“Gentlemen. Dedicate yourself to the glory and well-being of your empire.”
insect!
With that, the Death Road subjugation operation began.
* * *
Although the Imperial army consisted of only 100 men at most, they marched in wide lines.
Owners of powerful magic that can blow up the entire building one by one and sweep away the city with one magic.
If you make a mistake, even your allies could get caught up, so by keeping a safe distance between each other, only 100 people formed a front line that was several kilometers long.
And the undead corps approaching with excitement in the wide plain began to come into view.
From the ghouls that get stronger as they eat the corpses, the headless corpse Durahan boasting mobility that rides through the sky on a ghost horse, and the ghost specter who wields powerful magic and screams that suppresses the human spirit.
There were so many numbers that it would be foolish to count them all.
Even that is not comparable to Death Knight or Acrich, but the undead have at least a C-grade to A-grade combat power.
However, the elites of the Empire were not afraid at all in the face of the great army.
The signal of the war started with Matapju.
“Wrath to immortalize all your sins. Allow me to convict you. Hellfire.”
The purple flame that formed on the palm of Serman, the Red magic tower of the Empire, flew over a distance of 2 kilometers, and fell in the middle of the undead corps, and a dazzling pillar of fire erupted.
A raging fever with a heavy explosion sound is heard late and is blocked by the wind barrier that Henker Glofus, the ruler of the empire’s green magic, has spread.
Nevertheless, the wind, which could not be completely offset, tangled Leon’s hair.
Hellfire.
An ignorantly simple fire magic.
Only by compressing and compressing the thermal energy caused by the magic of the flame property, the wavelength of the emitted electromagnetic wave is shortened, giving it a purple color.
The magic, made of pure extreme flames, achieved a higher temperature than that generated by a nuclear bomb in terms of only thermal energy, and by hitting the target, it caused an explosion due to evaporation of matter, turned into pillars.
The undead within a radius of 500 meters from the point where the magic exploded immediately evaporated, and all the ghouls within a radius of 1 km fell into a state of incapacity.
However, in the case of Durahan or Specter with strong mobility, the injuries are severe, but the fight continuation is at a level that is not a problem.
Because the strength of the undead was that they felt no pain, had no fear of death, and had no problem moving their body even if their limbs were blown away.
It was a muscular wizard dressed in a dull brown robe to face the crowd of undead troops as they marched in earnest.
The owner of the Great Island Tower, Bernard Maroon Portland.
As he slams his fists into the ground, boasting of his muscular strength, a strong earthquake shakes the earth.
Even so, the only thing affected by it was the ghoul, but as if it wasn’t a full-fledged magic in the first place, the rock was being sucked into his body with the fist he had put into the ground.
If the stone skin that makes the skin hard like a stone is a 2nd circle earth magic, this is an earth element weapon magic that wraps around a real stone, Stone Armor.
aka giant magic.
While puppeteers are wizards who protect themselves by using a magical doll golem as a guardian, earth attribute wizards absorb and protect their entire body by absorbing the surrounding terrain.
And as the owner of the Great Island Tower, its scale was incomparable to anyone else.
In an instant, most of the hills grew into a ridiculously distracting size.
“Responsibility to bear all weight. Allow me to exist. Shooting Star.”
He swung his fists that weighed several tens of tons and slammed into the air.
shooting star.
Another word for meteor with meteor.
As its name implies, it was a powerful mass magic comparable to Meteor.
If Meteor is a magic that amplifies the power with the help of gravity by creating magical substances in the orbit of a satellite in the sky, Shooting Star ignores gravity.
However, only by controlling the earth with its transcendent magic-sensitivity ability, it exerts speed and power equal to or greater than that of Meteor.
True to the name of the shooting star, the starlight blasted off the ground, leaving a dazzling tail due to friction with the air, forming huge craters.
What Bernard was aiming for was none other than the Death Knights and Archrichs mixed in the crowd of undead.
An incredible speed exceeding 10 kilometers per second.
Even so, Death Knight’s skill was enough to avoid it, but he couldn’t escape from the explosion it caused when it hit the ground.
The skeleton, protected by a powerful 10 star aura, is shattered.
Even the Death Knight was so, the Archrichs, who floated in the air with floating magic, were unavoidably hit by the shooting star’s transcendent ejection speed in the first place, and disappeared without a trace.
In the process, ghouls, Durahans, and specters were swept away as incidental income.
Even so, when a large number of undead were still alive and reached a distance,
The Imperial Blue Horse, Lazuli Blue Marine beckons.
Countless blades in the shape of snowflakes arose following that beckoning.
Of course, this is no ordinary snowflake.
absolute zero.
An absolute blade where time has stopped.
The blades raged like a blizzard, bringing extreme cold to a wide area.
The result is a stop in time.
If even a single snowflake touches it, it’s over.
As if time had stopped, his whole body froze, and then, at Lazuli’s light gesture, the ice statues of the undead shattered as they were, dropping the temperature of the surrounding area.
“Advance all troops!”
Already, the Undead Legion was close to annihilation by the magic of the Masters.
The magic baptism of the wizards who had finished casting in advance poured out at once, completely destroying their ranks, and the knights sprinted after them, spitting out stems and stems of Auras.
“Then, shall we go soon?”
“According to the will of God.”
Cindy Phalanx was the first to respond to Leon’s words.
A magic circle had already appeared in her eyes, and her new eyes were activated, and lightning struck from the sky following the sword she was wielding.
The lightning strikes are aimed at the Death Knights who have reached the level of 10 stars.
However, Cindy’s status was already in the 11th star, and the Death Knights had no choice but to wave bone powder helplessly in front of her power.
As if not wanting to lose, Veronica drew her sword and sprinted away eagerly.
Veronica was a relatively low-ranking 10 star among her companions, but she was also called the witch of condemnation before her return, and she was born with a talent that would not be strange even if she was enshrined as a saint if it were not for a half-mad.
It cuts through the magic of the 7 circles that the Archrichs spray.
The place where Veronica, who has never had a chance to play strangely, can be most active is the battlefield full of magic.
The magic she cut was immediately neutralized and dispersed, and the scattered magic was absorbed by Veronica’s aura and amplified its firepower.
A tidal wave of flames rose along the trail of the sword she wielded, covering the entire sky and swept away Durahan and Specters riding ghost horses.
Where the power of the flame passed, the demons could never remain intact.
And in the midst of the melee, it was none other than Leon, who entered the battle mode, floating in the air.
In the form of a celestial dragon wearing lightning, it throws a lightning spear that symbolizes divine punishment.
“Astrafe Gungnir.”
Kwagwagwagwang!
All undead within a radius of 3 km returned to death.
