independent
The capital of the Philo Empire has been invaded!
Leon, who was visiting the Farostel Magical Family to apply for a duel over the succession rights of the family to Melite Flare Farostel, had to hear the rumor from abroad.
Among the strategies of the demons, the most effective attack method was that they could attempt a surprise attack at an unpredictable timing using a dimensional rift.
Even before Leon returned, there were several raids by these demons’ royal capital, the Philost Spirit, which has now become an institution.
“What is the scale of the invasion?”
To Leon’s question, Veronica, who brought information from the information guild, answered.
“It’s called one.”
“One person?”
Are you saying that you didn’t mobilize demons by using a dimensional rift?
Dimensional Rift’s strengths aren’t just superior to surprise attacks.
its scale.
Because numerous forces can be hidden in the dimensional rift, large-scale troops can be mobilized without being detected by the enemy.
But did only one person invade the system of the Philo Empire?
“What is the extent of the damage?”
“That is······.”
Veronica hesitated for a moment to answer.
Leon became impatient at Veronica’s reaction.
“It is said that the tower of truth established in the island was destroyed and the Imperial Castle was attacked. The damage to ordinary citizens is impossible to measure, and it is said that all knights, wizards, and royal corps that guarded the system suffered close to annihilation.”
Leon’s face hardened.
“…and your mother?”
Leon, though, was always worried about his mother’s well-being.
For this reason, Leon fortified the Tower of Truth, fortified the defense, and forced her mother to live in the villa to protect it from the Tower of Truth, Veritas.
That Veritas was destroyed.
“It is said to have disappeared.”
Leon jumped up from his seat.
The current location was an office within the family prepared for Leon, who was ranked first in the succession line through this demonic conquest operation.
I wanted to use magic right now to jump over the space and head to the island.
However, if the mother is already missing, Leon’s visit to the system will not solve the problem.
Leon sat down again and asked.
“What is your mother’s search order?”
“It is said that some of the angels sent to manage the Veritas headquarters survive and are desperately looking for them, but some eyewitness information suggests that they may have been kidnapped by raiders.”
okay.
It seemed so.
There is no physical evidence, but the heart is speaking.
“Is the protagonist of the invasion of this island, Melite Flare Farostel?”
“Yes?”
“Don’t you think the timing is too exquisite? How did this happen while I was away from the Demon Realm to rise to the top of the Parostel Magical Family’s succession line?”
“No, but…”
It was not a family order for Chris to participate in the Conquest of the Demon Realm.
He only tried to kill Leon by colluding with the demons of his own will.
“It must have been Mellit who ordered that demon to contact Chris.”
“I can’t…!”
“Melit is mine. It must also be in a position with quite strong speaking power in the Demon Realm.”
Doubt has been around for quite some time.
However, even if that were the case, he decided that he would not move hastily as long as he had an external position as the Marquis of the Philo Empire and the owner of the Flame magic tower.
Above all, all of these were just heart attacks, and Leon was not sure.
It’s only after it happened that you become so sure.
“It was my fault.”
If you have any doubts, you should have been prepared for everything.
Of course, that’s why the tower of truth was established a little hastily and defenses were prepared to protect the mother, but that was not enough.
We should have recruited the wizards of Veritas faster and increased the size.
Rather than concentrating on his own status, Leon should have focused on educating the wizards to protect his mother while he was away.
Of course, even if Leon did that, I’m not sure if he would have been able to deal with Melite, who suddenly disappeared after destroying the system of the Philo Empire with blood and blood.
No matter how much you think
How the hell was Leon supposed to be prepared for all this?
Only the 1st in the succession line can challenge the position of the governor.
Shouldn’t you have put an end to Melit Flare Farostel’s breath the moment you became convinced of its magic, rather than being bound by such stupid rules?
Leon laughed sadly.
Although Leon became the owner of the 5th Tower of Truth as a national hero, nonetheless, it was nothing compared to the Melit Flare Farostel, who fought for the Philo Empire for the past 40 years.
If Leon suddenly killed Melit, Leon and his family, Riel, would have become rebels of the Philo Empire.
“master. calm down.”
Veronica’s warm hand was placed on top of Leon’s, which had turned white with clenched fists.
Leon barely realized that he had lost his composure and was radiating a wave of magic around him.
“Now is not the time to lose your cool.”
Veronica is right.
Leon took a deep breath, supplying oxygen to his brain and releasing the energy that had entered his body.
The light ring that floated above his head calmed down, and the waves of magic radiating around him subsided.
“If it’s fortunate out of misfortune, it’s probably that your mother is safe.”
If it was an ordinary demonic force that invaded the system, the moment the Tower of Truth was destroyed, it is highly likely that the mother who was living in it would also have died.
But if Mellitt kidnapped her to take advantage of her, she wouldn’t do anything that would endanger her life, at least right now.
“The problem is not just that.”
“What else?”
“Princess Ailee has been kidnapped.”
Not only the mother, but also Ailee?
“It seems that the Crown Prince of the Philo Empire was killed during the invasion with him.”
“…Is it Oliver Philost?”
A picture comes to mind.
Maybe that’s his purpose…
“Are you planning to swallow the Philo Empire whole?”
If Prince Oliver is dead, then it is Ailee who now holds the first right of succession to the Philo Empire.
To be precise, the person who marries Ailee can become the emperor of the Philo Empire.
Normally, the duke, who inherited the blood of the royal family, marries a princess with high authority to preserve the legitimacy of that lineage, but the princess is actually kidnapped.
Leon was skeptical, but after a while, demons who declared themselves to be the messenger of destruction (使臣) came to the Philo Empire’s system and expressed their position.
It was a recommendation to surrender.
It was none other than the Demon King of Destruction who attacked the system of the Philo Empire.
If you are afraid of the power that alone destroyed the system, surrender.
The Demon King of Destruction will marry Princess Ailee, so submit to the Demon King.
If you do that, I will protect your daily life.
In the beginning, the Demon King and the demon forces following him invaded the borders of the Philo Empire, and a whole territory evaporated.
A lot of people were worried about her safety because she was Princess Ailee, who had been engaged in various activities only for the purpose of improving the lives of the people.
It was an overwhelming force reminiscent of the Demon King of Harvest who defeated the Angels of Heaven 100 years ago with blood and blood.
“The Demon King of Destruction?”
Since when?
Mellit Flare Farostel is a human being.
Of course, he may have become a demon by accepting the power of a demon, but his birth was clearly a human being who was born in a pure-blood country.
However, the Demon Realm is a world of the strong.
Even if he wasn’t a demon, he could become a demon king if he could only prove his strength.
The time when he became the Demon King was probably during the Demon World Conquest 25 years ago.
Mellit Flare Farostel participated in the operation to subdue the Demon Lord of Destruction planned by the Holy Empire and barely survived and returned alone while the conquest army was annihilated.
At that time, the priests who opened the rift in the dimension were skeptical as to what had happened, but they replied that only they could barely come back alive through their self-sacrifice.
Perhaps at that time, Melit had already succeeded in subjugating the existing demon lord and sitting on the seat of the demon lord himself.
He succeeded in killing all of the conquest forces who had watched the whole process with his own hands, and succeeded in returning through the dimensional rift with the power of the demon god.
And he kept looking for opportunities.
In the last 25 years, beyond the throne of the Demon King, only this moment to put his homeland in his hands, the kingdom of Philo, which has now become an empire.
Perhaps he planned to first fill the top of the tower with demons, then put all the forces of the Philo Empire into his grasp and eroded it without anyone knowing.
At least until Leon returned.
That fate changed as Leon developed his abilities.
Melit Flare Farostel, the Demon King of Destruction, was wary of the child he had given birth and tried many ways to kill him, but all failed and he decided to advance his plan.
Ailee was probably an important part of that decision.
Bondi Ailee would not have been dead had it not been for Leon.
However, because of her deep connection with Leon, Ailee survived and, unlike the previous history, was able to become one of the most powerful people in the Philo Empire.
Mellit looked at it, and decided to use her.
Arranged marriage between demons and humans.
Now, not only the Philo Empire, but also the Beast Kingdom Divergent and Miners’ mining city Aios is a great blood service.
However, no one knew yet that the Demon Lord of Destruction was the Red magic lord and Melite Flare Farostel.
While the demons, the demon king, were aiming for the Philo Empire, one of the demon masters went missing, and only confusion is aggravating what happened.
And Leon was summoned to the Emperor’s Task Force.
As the fiancée of the kidnapped Princess Ailee and now the owner of one of the five magic towers, she has a say in determining the future of the Philo Empire.
The Emperor of the Philo Empire that I met after a long time, Fairne Negil Philost, was very emaciated.
There was still authority and dignity in every gesture, but even that was just a habit, so his face was stained with only delusion.
“…what the hell should I do?”
In the center of the meeting room where the four horse masters gathered, Fairn spoke helplessly like that.
“It is a story that can never be said to be subject to the demons.”
It was Libert Vince Rothbane, the blue magic lord who had the strongest speech except for Mellit, who spoke like that.
There is anger in Fairn’s eyes.
“You speak easily. So, you mean that you can subdue the Demon Lord of Destruction?”
The only story they heard was the brief context that a whole estate had evaporated.
what happened in the process.
The power of destruction handled by demons following the Demon King of Destruction had power beyond imagination.
Even if it is possible to subdue the Demon King of Destruction, what about Princess Ailee?
Fairn’s dearest daughter, she had to sacrifice like this?
He didn’t say it, but his expression said so.
“And that wasn’t the only thing the messenger sent by the destruction had suggested, though it wasn’t publicly disclosed.”
Fayrn’s gaze turned to Leon.
And the anger disappeared from his face, and this time, regret came to mind.
“They are recommending the surrender of the truth.”
At that, the eyes of the other three magic lords turned to Leon.
They were pretending to be cool, but inside they had doubts.
Because of their attitude of wanting only the surrender of Leon, not the surrender of the masters.
Does this mean that other than Leon, other matap masters have nothing to worry about?
Of course, they were well aware of the achievements Leon had built up until now.
His ability to subdue as many as two demon lords and block numerous threats from the demon realm in advance.
An unprecedented level of magic called the 9th Circle.
However, to admit it, their pride as the arch mages of the Philo Empire and those who realized the extremes of magic that reached the limit of human beings only did not allow them.
The true identity of the Demon King of Destruction.
And Leon, who was well aware that he had kidnapped Leon’s mother, Riel, was able to keep his cool because he knew that such a situation might come.
Leon continued to think.
About what Leon can do if such a moment comes.
about what is best.
“Our tower of truth, Veritas, will become independent from the Philo Empire and declare the establishment of a new kingdom.”
At Leon’s remarks, everyone in the conference room opened their eyes in astonishment.
