203 Episode 139: Emperors and Tragedies of the Empire

"And he said he is the emperor of the Crimson Empire!? Hey, why are you showing up at this summit!

"Oops, I didn't call you at this summit, so I thought it would be evil, but I came to ask you to join me on your own. I had a little errand to run."

Scarlett answers Lynforce's inquiry lightly, but that was enough to warn many who were here.

In the first place, the Crimson Empire was not called to this summit simply because there was a distance between calling it the neighbouring countries of the Elgant Empire and not becoming a brave supporter when Eldia had the brave.

Now, what can we do for the summit?

"Can you prove that you are the emperor of the Crimson Empire! You haven't even invited me, so you won't even have an invitation!

"It's subtle to prove it, but once Eldia recruited a brave support country, it's a seal. Of course, to Scarlett Crimson."

"... borrow it"

A servant of Lynforce received a seal from Scarlett.

"Then take the falling daughters with you. It's pathetic to keep you asleep on the dirt forever, isn't it?

Will the person who stunned you say it? You have good guts.

"... Knights of the Temple, bring the Seven Treasures and Sharon to the infirmary."

"Yes!" x4

The Knights of the Temple, commanded by Linforth, leave the training ground with Seven Treasures House and Sharon.

Looks like the seal was checked by a woman who looked like Linforth's secretary and decided it was real.

"... looks real"

"Really...... But that doesn't just prove it!

"Well, on top of understanding. It doesn't make sense to line up your desk in the conference room when you say you're in a meeting. I'm just here to make an opinion proposal for the Crimson Empire. The official answer should be to send a formal document to the Crimson Empire. I can't prove myself here anyway."

It seems to be Scarlett's purpose to say that she can't prove herself because she has a proposal at the meeting.

Lynforce asks Scarlett as he is vigilant.

"What do you want from the Crimson Empire?

"Oh, the Crimson Empire... hopes to be a brave supportive nation"

It's a surprise statement to be here.

I also knew Scarlett was on the dragon race (Dragon Newt) headed for the Shinto El Gare, but I didn't even know what that was about.

By the way, just before yesterday's meeting was interrupted, I noticed a report from Alta.

"Previously, when the Kingdom of Eldia recruited a brave supportive nation, the Crimson Empire should have rejected it. I'd like to ask you why you're running for Brave Nation now."

"It's not a big deal. It just changed things."

"That's not an explanation."

I think Linforth is right.

At the very least, I want you to tell me what the situation has changed from "what" to "what".

"I was considering if I could defeat the Demon King without the 'brave men' of the other world, but I just wanted to support the brave men and get them to defeat me just now because I can't seem to"

"Oh so great. Were you thinking about that!?

"Oh, in the end, I couldn't. No, I found it pointless."

That sounds like a little inclusiveness.

Not 'impossible' but 'pointless'......

"I'm supposed to think that the inhabitants of this world should be catching on. I don't even think it's a good idea to call brave men from different worlds."

"Are you insulting the goddess's trust!?

Is it traditional goddess entertainment that shows its true nature when it comes to making fun of goddess associations?

Because he couldn't afford it, Linforth had no more surface repairs, as he had when he was dealing with Zenon.

"Isn't that the goddess who makes a fool out that we, the inhabitants of this world, won't be able to defeat the Demon King? I searched independently for the means to defeat the Demon King because it didn't care"

"If the goddess decides she can't do it, it's in people's hands!

"... Well, you seem right. It was in the old literature, but I hear the Demon King barely makes sense except for the attacks of brave men from generation to generation. There's nothing you can do about not breaking it."

Trouble is, demon kings seem to have similar skills.

Ah, the curse (Curse) that Tyrannosaurus had.

Murder Star

Reduce damage from attacks from those who do not wait for the Brave title by 99%. Increases damage caused by attacks from those with the title 'Brave Man' by 10 times. If a brave man crusades, give him 10 times more experience.

How do you know that?

Look, in the meantime, you went to the ruins in Eldia, right?

Apparently there was a statement about the Demon King in the notes of the brave man, who was lined up in that last room.

Anything, he said, even though those of equal strength attacked him with just as many weapons, the effect was completely different for the brave and his companions. In the case of a brave attack, one of the criteria is that it was damaged more than its original power.

I don't know that skill, except. I can't be sure it's the exact same skill, but I'm pretty sure it has similar abilities.

"As for the brave, there's nothing I can do about the things I've called for, and the brave ones seem to be willing to crusade the demon king. Then I thought it would be better for everyone to just support them and defeat the Demon King."

But maybe that's not all, right?

You seem to be doing a lot back there...

"... I understand what you're trying to say. I'm surprised at the story that he was trying to defeat the Demon King on his own, but I can understand the logic of the second half. Whatever it is, if you can be a brave supporter, we don't have a no."

"Don't help me if you say so. I've come a long way too. It's worth it."

That's a pretty long flight.

Black Dragon Dragon Race (Dragon Newt), unfortunately the highest speed is not so fast and......

"Except! Dear Seven Treasures House, I will protest strictly against the fact that you have unconscious Sharon, and there are many other things I would like to ask you. I can't even allow you to attend the meeting, so even if you make the most concessions, I think it will be viewed in the holding room. Can you understand the area?

Linforth stabs the nail where the story is about to come together.

"Oh, I understand. I'm just a little overwhelmed by Xing. If I can answer the question, I'll answer it. It's just not like we're gonna be talking about it here forever, is it?

"Yes, we have come to a paragraph, so once the meeting is interrupted, let's continue the conversation. I hope to speak to Scarlett in a separate room."

Fu reminded me that with this rough situation, I feel that Xenon, who usually scratches around a lot, is somewhat quiet.

That's what I thought, Xenon. When I asked how you were... you were turning bright blue.

That was already brilliantly bright blue and pull shivering. To say that your gaze is not out of Scarlett in any way is probably Scarlett the subject of fear.

... Scarlett Crimson fears Linforth, who has led the conference so far, and Zenon, who was also scratching the conference around.

Scarlett Crimson instantly killed Seven Treasure House and Sharon in a high-level battle.

If you were asked now who the lead role in this setting would be, you wouldn't get any answers other than Scarlett Crimson.

Afterwards, face to face other than Scarlett was to return to the holding room.

The appearance of Scarlett made the meeting a mess, so it's called re-ordering.

And Scarlett in the matter is in the middle of a room in the cathedral, being questioned by a civilian of the Elgant Empire. That's what I want to hear. It's like a mountain.

But Linforth, the head of the Elgant Empire, seems genuinely afraid of Scarlett and hasn't tried to get any closer to Scarlett since he left the training ground.

Such Lynforce is in the process of taking off his wet pants right now.

Sakya and the ministers are discussing it in the holding room, so I'm talking to faces who are at the end just like before.

By the way, Maria and Rico have a meeting with the escort maids about security. For some reason, Serra's not at your meeting.

"As I thought, you've moved on in a very interesting direction."

I thought it was a mess with Scarlett's appearance, but it was funnier than I imagined.

"It's a pretty disastrous situation, isn't it? How do we collect this?

"That's what the Elgant Empire thinks, isn't it? I'm the host."

I'll answer you because Mio tells you like you're scared.

"Think about it. Is it a level you can handle?

"I don't."

It has nothing to do with anything, especially since the Elgant Empire only gains a disadvantage.

"Even if we skip the matter of the Emperor of the Crimson Empire, there is a mountain of trouble that can happen...... I can't imagine which will happen..."

"If nothing happens, the Demon Run (Stampede) will surely happen."

"Full of stuff."

Serra's right, only Stampede would be a sure disaster.

Why is stampede happening?

As a matter of fact, Stampede Devil's skills, which had recently been used by exorcised assassins (demons), had a special effect.

Stampede Devil's skills have the effect of stampede artificially, as well as stampede unconsciously at death.

Exactly, it's called the Terminator.

There's no way anyone knows what a super-rare demon can do when he dies.

That's why they inadvertently tame Stampede Devil and even use his abilities to assassinate him or something.

It's too risky a force to use in your own country.

If we were to handle it safely, we should have killed it after we had taken away < mad scream > skills, but it wasn't very much, but I didn't feel like it.

Why do we have to put a lot of effort into killing assassins for the sake of the people of the country that let them go? And there's no better option than to not kill him than to be an assassin.

At present, demons in a state of rampage are gathering in the woods closer to Elgare.

Sooner or later, it would erupt and strike the neighboring city (Eighty-Nine Elgares).

"The Temple Knights for that, right? I need you to keep your stampede down."

"Husband, in general, stampede isn't as easy to deal with as it is, is it? If you do badly, one or two of the cities will perish easily."

Serra has preached common sense to me.

Sometimes I feel like there's a divergence between me and public common sense, but I guess it's my fault.

"Temple Knight, can't you win?

"I don't think the elite knights of Kanto will lose to boulders, but I think there will be less damage. Depending on the demons you gather, you can think of the worst."

"Heh."

Serra explained it to me, but honestly, I'm not very interested.

"Oh, my lord, you have completely lost interest in the Elgant Empire."

"I don't think it's possible given the treatment here..."

Mio and Sakura are right, I am open to treatment in this country and have already lost interest.

There are a number of sprouts of trouble, but if I don't pick them up beforehand and motivate them, I'm not going to do it for them.

Even temporary dwellings are enough to be removed every time they travel because they could be damaged.

"But the summit itself is hilarious. Different thoughts of the darker characters mix together and don't bore me inside"

I'm not interested in the Elgant Shinto state of affairs, but only the summit, which is a gathering zone of mindful figures, is a different story. Caution means at least you're interested.

"The way your husband says it sounds, you're welcome to have trouble."

"Exactly, but is there a problem as well? 'Cause there's only so much you can do later that you can enjoy trouble with tourist destinations that don't become tourist and have little interest, right?

"You did. Master, trouble at the tourist destination was a pleasant policy..."

Let's put one fix in Mio's way of saying it.

"Except for the unpleasant troubles of aristocratic relations" ….

"What I'm most excited about is Scarlett's participation, after all. He's the only one out of the group compared to the other participants, and I have no idea how he's going to fall."

The others know the approximate purpose, but Scarlett is the only one who can't predict it.

I am very, very excited.

"In the end, you made contact with the emperor of the Crimson Empire before you went to the Crimson Empire..."

"Yes! That's where it is! Until now, I didn't feel like going to the Crimson Empire inside, but I rather think this is the best time! Because there's no rattling by the map!

I guess I can't help overreacting to what you said.

Basically, when you have a map, you know what they do, and they tend to lose their unexpectedness (surprise).

Scarlett's inability to anticipate his actions this time was also due to his failure to stretch his legs to the Crimson Empire and gather information.

Maybe it was for this time that I didn't feel like going to the Crimson Empire until now.

If you have a massive secret plot (surprise party), it's a pleasure to enjoy it without knowing it beforehand.

Naturally, you can rest assured that we won't be disturbed beforehand unless it's harmful to us.

"Jen, you're so tense at all times..."

"Perhaps some of the conference attendees are happy to have Scarlett in the war, like your husband."

"Right..."

I told you when you get used to maps, you lose your unexpectedness (surprise).

That's why unexpected events (surprise parties) that you visit from time to time have to be taken very seriously.

Maybe you won't get much understanding, so I won't tell you.

Then an hour later, a summit meeting involving each thought was to be resumed.

With the resumption of the summit, we gathered again in the conference room.

However, from one of Scarlett's cases, the facial rash has changed slightly.

Firstly, Sharon, the queen of the Legalian Beast Nation, who was earlier unconscious, is not taking part. He hasn't recovered from the stun yet, and his surrogate is in.

Likewise, the Seven Treasures House seems to be fainting and absent. It should be noted that there is Aichi Kino, but there is no other brave man left. Scarlett freaked out and said he ran away.

It's a tragedy that we're talking about brave men and there's only one brave man.

Scarlett is currently asking about the conference room by TV from the holding room.

As he said, it doesn't look like he wants to talk to the meeting.

It is Lynforce who is most relieved by this situation.

Lynforce remains making a tough look at Scarlett in one case.

As a matter of fact, few people will realize that they are just frightened by fear.

Scared, therefore, the number of Temple Knights in the escort may have doubled.

Finally, Lynforce is changing his pants. Yeah, I don't care.

Xenon seemed to have regained his tranquillity and came into the conference room with an invincible grin.

Two squire attached as escorts are gone at some point, and only one sits in the seat of a Grants Kingdom official.

"Now that we seem to have all the participants, we would like to resume the meeting"

Meetings are resumed by the Linforth declaration, but participants from many countries are restless and soothing. Apparently, Scarlett's fingernail marks are huge.

"First, I would like to talk about Scarlett Crimson of the Crimson Empire."

"Was he really the emperor of the Crimson Empire?

"Yes, upon confirmation, we have almost certainly determined that you are the Emperor of the Crimson Empire, Master Scarlett Crimson."

Linforth answers participants' questions.

"His purpose was to participate in the meeting. And because we came by the earliest means of travel, it seemed that there were no accompanying people."

"Is that that dragon? What the hell is that dragon...? The woman who showed up after...?

"It's hard to believe, but the dragon and the woman are the same person and can change their appearance," he said.

- Zawazawa.

The conference room becomes noisy over Lynforce's remarks.

It's even more informative to us now, but it seems like a surprising fact to the public.

"Is that what that woman calls a demon?

"Yeah, his story says it's a Tamed Demon. However, they say intelligence is like human beings. According to the rep, it was no different than talking to a normal human being. It has changed in front of me, so I think there is a mistake in saying the same person."

"You're incredible..."

"Yeah, I've never heard that before"

What Lynforce said is true, but the participants in the meeting said they were half-hearted.

"She must be the kind of demon that says Dragon Race (Dragon Newt)"

It was our Queen Sakya who captured the attention of the entire conference room in just one word.

"Does Sakya know about her?

"No, I don't know her directly, but when I heard about Lord Linforth, there was no other race I could think of."

Originally, it was to avoid trouble not to make public the existence of the dragon race (Dragonut).

Scarlett forced the Dragon Race (Dragon Newt) into the open this time, so there's no point in us hiding its existence at this point.

First of all, it would be a better decision to give the right information.

By the way, I checked with the chief of "The Secret Border of the Dragon Race (DragonNewt)," and the woman who showed up with Scarlett looks like the Dragon Race (DragonNewt) that was missing during the fight against the Dragon that struck the secret four years ago.

His real name is Yoiyami. Sounds like a common amnesia.

"You basically treat people like normal people and there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that you can use special magic just like dragons, so inadvertent things are not for you."

"You know a lot about it. Could it be that the Dragon Knight Troops of Queen Castar..."

It's not like that.

Linforth, I went to a shame.

I'm the only one with Dragon Race (Dragon Newt) as a knight, so the Dragon Knight Squad has nothing to do with it.

"This is a fairly important project, so I would like you to provide me with information..."

"I'm not going to tell you much on this occasion. Because it's completely out of the spirit of the meeting."

"That's... you don't have a choice. Now, after this meeting, stay and tell us the story…"

"You refuse that, too."

"Do you understand the seriousness of the matter? Undiscovered! It's important that there are races that the goddess hasn't told you anything about!

Rinforce shouts a frustrating voice at how Sakya looks without an island to mount.

I see, does the goddess leave nothing about the dragon race (Dragon Newt)?

And is that the problem in Linforth terms......

"That would be convenient for Lord Linforth. It's not a big deal for a concubine, and I'm not going to stay in Elgare for any reason other than a meeting. If you need help, you should send out a messenger when you're out of town. Especially if it's a good place to pay up front, like a messenger from the Reich."

"Oh, that..."

Linforth stuck in words.

Sakya's statement is tantamount to saying in the dark, 'I will not accept an apostle from the Elgant Empire because I have an assassin case to date'. I mean, or I'm saying.

Although Linforth did not direct it, the supervisory responsibility is certain. If you've been grasping it, it's a problem. Reject mercilessly.

"If you really want to say so, after the meeting and the concubine returns to the country, you should send an official messenger again. At least I don't plan on spending any time on it while I'm in this country."

"... ok. We'll send a messenger after the summit."

"Well, that would be nice."

Sakuya is also very strong because there is nothing wrong with her.

The surrounding situation is the only one, which may be quite chilling on the inside.

Lynforce coughs up with Cohon and re-divides.

"Let me make this up to you about Master Scarlett. We are currently inviting Mr Scarlett to see the state of this meeting in a separate room. Basically, I don't have a say, so I'm asking you to do it."

"One point, may I?

So I raised my hand to one of the participants in the Legalian Beast Nation, the beast woman acting for Sharon.

To see, 'Secretary!' He's a sheep beast. Sheep, not deacons.

"What is it?

"What will happen to Sharon, the queen of our legarian beast kingdom, who has passed out? You can't go without officially protesting the boulders as our country."

"We have also received an answer on the matter. Lady Scarlett said she would officially apologize and make reparations for having unconscious Lady Sharon and Lady Seven Treasures House. Separately, I will give you a formal answer, may I please wait a moment?

Scarlett, you really apologize.

He had a pretty fancy personality, so I was wondering if he could do the right thing around here.

"I understand. If that's what you're willing to do over there, let me refrain from pursuing you on this occasion. And it's about the participation of our brave supporters..."

"Is that what you said after Sharon woke up?

Because of Scarlett's participation in the battle before the settlement was reached, the promise of brave supporter participation that was supposed to be decided in the battle between Sharon and Seven Treasures House has floated around the world.

Naturally, I think it's up to you after you wake up...

"No, if you were Queen Sharon, I wouldn't think you'd recognize someone who could have fought that far. I was wondering if you'd like to proceed on the premise of becoming a brave supporter."

"Are you sure? Even if I decide without Master Sharon's consent?

"Yes, we are given the discretion to make that degree of decision..."

Deacon snorting at Linforth's inquiry, wasn't it, Mr. Sheep Secretary?

"Okay. I would like to proceed accordingly."

So, as if he remembered, Linforth turned his gaze toward Xenon.

"Much of it has opened up, but what makes the Kingdom of Grants not a brave supporter country? In the middle of Master Scarlett's story, may I ask you something?

With that said, I heard about Queen Castar (Kingdom of Estea) and Regalia Beast Nation, but you didn't hear about the reasons for the Kingdom of Grants.

"Um, okay. I'll tell you what else."

Xenon nods and speaks of the reasoning of the Kingdom of Grants.

"For the rest, it is the same bracket in that both the Demons and other nations are enemies to be defeated sooner or later. Why should we help the hostile forces defeat other hostile forces? Anything but waste?

That one word was nothing more than a statement that turned all the representatives of the other countries on this occasion against the enemy.

That wasn't the kind of thing you'd have to do with a tough joke like you've done before, but the level of stuff you'd really have to consider war.

"Are you serious about that statement...? I think it's a little too vicious to be joking."

Lynnforce has never been a killer before and is asking questions.

"The rest of you don't say this in a joke. Why don't you show me that evidence now!

Master Jen! Attack coming! Red...... it's a spear!

At the same time Zenon screamed, there was an urgent sentiment from Rico.

At that moment, the maid knights who were dotted in Castar, Estea and Sanokia pull out their swords and step forward to protect non-combatants.

"My blood, dance! Bloodstains (Blood Seoul)!

When Xenon calls out his skill name, he scratches his own belly with a dagger in his hand.

Dynamic self-determination! Halakiri!

"Guuuuu!

A lot of blood erupts.

But the blood does not fall to the ground, but remains out of Xenon's belly, floating in the air.

"Kill them all!

Xenon screams again, spitting blood out of his mouth as well.

Signalling the declaration, Zenon's bleeding stretches like a spear and strikes the participants.

"Hey, what's this!? Uhhhhhh!!???"

"Stop, stop! Coming ah!!!

"Goddess! Please help me! Oh, heh!?

A conference room that in an instant will be a hell of a picture of an annoying cry.

Whoever is pierced by The Spear of Blood dries up in an instant. Apparently, they're sucking the blood out of you.

But the 'blood spear' itself is not so numerous. That's only five.

After piercing those who were nearby first, they appear to be stabbing those who are trying to escape the conference room as a matter of priority.

Representatives from all over the country have been stabbed to death one after another.

"Oh, brother!? What do you want?

We were discussing Zenon's response in the event of a major outburst. It's not a big offense, and we're focused on defense. I'm not supposed to help the others. "

Answer Sakya's remarks.

I'm going to help people outside of Castar, Estea, Sanokia. If I don't have a stepdad, I don't have the strength.

I have told Sakya that beforehand, and I didn't say Sakya was forced to.

"Oh, okay.... but you're pretty scary. It's a subtly traumatic sight..."

Sakuya, who has experience stabbed and pierced her belly, sweats cold.

Pah, he is a fine queen who doesn't trust his men to be slight.

Hmm?... Soon, there will be more than 10 'Spears of Blood'?

Oh, can you treat the blood you suck as your own thing with the effect of Blood Trail?

A: Yes. The effect of Blood Trail.

Blood Stains (Blood Seoul)

I can manipulate my own blood and treat it like a weapon. If a blood weapon injures another person, that blood can be absorbed. The quality of the blood absorbed enhances the user.

So you're saying that the more time you take, the more trouble you'll have?

But it seems hard to manipulate more than 10 'blood spears'...

A: There is an autopilot function.

... boring. That would be where we should do it manually.

"Why!? Why isn't my protection activated?

It is Lynforce surrounded by the fleshwalls of the Temple Knights who cry out like that.

Apparently, they're trying to give the people around them protection, but it doesn't work at all.

The outline of the request has been invalidated, and it is so unusual that it is wolfish.

The Knights of the Temple are pierced one after the other by the 'Spear of Blood', spreading their lives.

Some temple knights go valiantly toward Zenon, but they will lay down on the earth without that sword ever reaching them.

I was wondering how the Linforth and the others were, and "The Spear of Blood" grew toward me.

Where I pulled out my sword and tried to sweep away "The Blood Spear," I see a girl standing in front of me...

"... Ohh!?

In front of me, a girl, Aichi Kino, gets stabbed through by a "blood spear".

... you tried to cover for me? For what the hell...?

Kino's defense is vain, and "The Spear of Blood" continues to target me even as it kills some momentum.

"Yo!"

I slash the Spear of Blood and erase it.

Take the body of Kino thrown out at that time. He seemed to be pierced through his heart and almost died instantly. But that look also looks satisfying.

Collect the oversized wreckage that appeared on the spot and store Kino's body in the Inventory.

It's not normal to put your own life at risk and try to protect me.

I'm sure there's a reason. And maybe the reason has something to do with the yellow-looking red marker.

To be honest, I'm pretty concerned, so I don't have the option of leaving you alone like this.

"Why!? Why!?"

One temple knight after another is killed and Xenon approaches Lynforce, who can only scream.

"I'll tell you why you won't receive the protection of immortality."

"Hih!?

Lynnforce enters and becomes incontinent.

I just changed my pants...

Lord Linforth's immortality protection can only be given to those who are in Elgare.

Step closer to Lynforce. The Temple Knight hangs up, but he encounters a payback.

"So what is the Elgare definition? The territory? The people? No! It is the area protected by the 'junction stone' of Elgare that is Elgare"

Step closer to Lynforce. A temple knight guarding the perimeter of the Linforth is stabbed to death.

"By now, the rest of the subordination would be destroying the 'junction stone' of this city. Therefore, this is an elgare, not an elgare! Therefore, no protection can be granted!

Step closer to Lynforce. Finally, the Temple Knight defending Lynforce was wiped out.

"That's it. Be the rest of the food."

"Hiya good!!??? No!? No!? No!? No!? Goddess!? Goddess!? Goddess!? Goddess!? MegaMisa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"

- Zach!

"Oh, oh..."

"The Spear of Blood" pierces the Linforth, pruning its life, and sucking its blood out.

"Kuhaha! This is what high elves taste like! Delicious, delicious! Now the rest is the strongest! No one can stop you!

Xenon, I'm sorry about your buzz, but Linforth isn't dead yet.

To be exact, you didn't cut it to death because it died once, but there's still a residual machine left, right?

Yes, this is the status of Lynforce.

- Pope

In the seventh episode of the External Legend, The Witch of the Temple, the Pope of the Elgant Empire was a magnificent man (Christopher), but at the moment Linforth reigns as Pope.

But Lynforce is not calling Christopher's successor.

Originally, Linforth was the first (...) pope of the Elgant Empire.

He gave up his papal seat before that time and lived a semi-healthy life, but Christopher's death led him to be dragged out to the tabular stage again. In other words, it will be a restoration, not a successor.

It should be noted that only an elf can take that position with the Pope and the Witch of the Divine Consort.
