1380 episodes. Why should the Imperial Army prepare for an end to the war?

After meeting with Megistus, Adobe Magic Tower began mass production of Thanatos.

The production facilities of Thanatos prepared on one floor of the Magic Tower were the same to the extent that the Three Magic Towers thought they were the production facilities of Excitium.

Everything was the same except for the core material, so the production equipment was copied from Adobe Mage Tower.

Thanks to this, Adobe Mage Tower was able to produce a large amount of Thanatos without much trial and error.

Adobe Magic Tower handed over the produced Thanatos to Magenta, and Magenta mixed it with general items and sent it to the Southern Kingdom.

***

The imperial army that occupied the kingdom of Adria notified the kingdom of Salam to hand over King Shade and King Adria.

It is at war with the southern kingdoms, but invading the kingdom of Salam is another matter.

The kingdom of Salam did not respond to the imperial army.

It’s something I can’t accept in the first place, but it’s because I know that it’s just a justification for the invasion.

The imperial army crossed the border of the kingdom of Salam three days after occupying the kingdom of Adria.

The Southern Kingdom Army in the Salam Kingdom was quite numerous.

There are 21 divisions in total, including the 5 divisions of the Salam Kingdom, the 9 divisions of the Southern Kingdom Army that retreated from the Shade and Adria kingdoms, and the 7 divisions that joined from the Dnirov Kingdom.

In contrast, the Imperial Army consisted of the 1st Army Group and five battle division artillery brigades.

In terms of numbers, the southern kingdom army was three times as many, but was unilaterally pushed back in the battle.

The southern kingdom army, which still had an overwhelming number of knights and swordsmen, could not defeat the imperial army armed with excitium.

In a single day’s battle on the border, the southern kingdom’s army lost half of its men.

It was a battle like a nightmare for the Southern Kingdom.

The Southern Kingdom Army, which retreated to Dares, was only 11 divisions.

Meanwhile, after the crushing defeat in the ‘Battle of Notos’ in the Shade Kingdom, a reversal of public opinion arose among the nobles of the Kingdom of Ureum.

The nobles who were to become junior commanders said, ‘How can we wage a war when the 6 combat divisions of the Southern Kingdom Army are not as good as the 1 support division of the Imperial Army?’

The antiwar public opinion that arose in the Ureum Kingdom gradually spread to the eastern and western regions.

However, the kingdom of Salam, located in the center of the southern continent, believed in the development of new weapons by King Adria and burned its will to war.

Even if that wasn’t the case, half of the kingdom had already been taken away, so he had no choice but to fight.

Salam kingdom.

Near Dares.

Expeditionary Force General Headquarters.

Chief of Staff, Marquis Reid Kostock, spoke to Louis Fraser III, Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force.

“Except for the kingdom of Salam, the will to fight in the southern kingdoms is greatly weakened. It is said that there are more nobles in the Ureum Kingdom and the eastern region who want an end to the war. If even Dares is occupied by the Imperial Army, the end of the war negotiations that were under water will come to the surface. Shouldn’t we prepare the conditions before that?”

The commander-in-chief looked at the chief of staff with pouting eyes.

“I think that story came out once in Pheromuros. Didn’t I say that the war would end when we captured Pheromuros?”

In fact, there was even a draft of a peace treaty.

But the results were different.

The southern kingdom army lost not only the kingdom of Peromuros but also the kingdom of Adria, but the will to fight was still not broken.

“At that time, there was Artenium, but now the southern kingdom army has no more cards to stand for, right? Even the production of artenium has stopped, so the southern kingdom army should be considered to be over.”

“In such a situation, why should the Imperial Army prepare for the end of the war?”

“yes?”

“If the southern kingdom army is over, shouldn’t we just pick it up and put it in? I say this because we couldn’t find a reason to respond in the past.”

“What Your Highness wants... is the destruction of the kingdom?”

“In order to bring lasting peace to the Rodina continent, we must accept them as members of the Empire. Am I wrong?”

“...”

Marquis Reid Costak hesitated to answer.

The Imperial War of fifty years ago had also come to a halt.

Of course, it can go all the way, but the damage on both sides is not easy.

It is the same now.

Although the Imperial Army has excitium, it is not omnipotent.

Right now, the Imperial Army is pushing with overwhelming firepower, but the southern kingdoms won’t be left alone unless they are fools.

“There are rumors that His Majesty the Emperor will abdicate when the war is over. The appointment of His Highness the Crown Prince as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force is also to build up achievements.”

A crown prince who has no achievements or is weak is severely checked by his political opponents even after becoming emperor.

In severe cases, he may be expelled from the position of crown prince before being abdicated.

The more the crown prince had nothing to present, the more precarious his position was.

The prince was rumored to be a genius, but he had nothing to reveal.

We even hear the disgraceful sound of ‘there are many talents, but there are no useful ones’.

All of this happened when the swordsman, the Crown Prince, was distracted by magic.

The prince is a sword expert in swordsmanship and a 4th circle in magic.

Considering the age of 33, it’s a great state, but if you look at each of them, it’s not enough.

If I had dug a well and become a sword master or archmage, I wouldn’t have to hear the humiliating sound of ‘I have no talent’.

“Stop talking nonsense and search all over the city to get some rest tonight. The remnants of the Southern Kingdom should not be left behind.”

“yes.”

Viscount Victor Roger, who raised a military salute, rushed to the troops on the front line who were in the middle of a search.

The news of the victory of the Imperial forces advancing into the Kingdom of Salam was also known to the Empire.

When the expeditionary force occupied Dares, people praised the crown prince.

“As expected, the Crown Prince is the Highness!”

“With the Kingdom of Salam as the end, the war with the southern kingdom will also end.”

“The Southern Kingdom is planning to give you a steel golem as war reparation.”

“The ownership of the Abyss is said to be handed over to the Empire.”

In the bar and banquet hall, the people of the empire poured out hopeful predictions.

Londinium Empire.

Buk-gu, Petropolis, the capital.

Inn and bar Fermosa Estella.

early evening.

Fabian, who had been out all day, returned with a tired face and sat in front of Elio.

“oh my! It’s a mess, it’s a mess.”

“What else is this time?”

“The Imperial Army has completely liberated the Salam Kingdom.”

“Liberation? You mean occupied?”

“yes.”

Fabian nodded, then poured water into an empty glass and drank it down.

“What is the status of the southern kingdom army?”

“In the beginning, it was said that there was a lot of damage.... It feels like stepping back by giving up ground without fighting. I don’t know if Count Omar and Howard Crea are all right.”

“Without words, nothing happens. The imperial army also has a head, do you want to touch it? By the way, they said there was no agreement to end the war?”

“The Empire is slowly talking about it, but the Southern Kingdom is quiet. I don’t know if I’m holding on to my pride or if I have a corner to believe in.”

“Have you investigated the Magic Tower?”

“That is a bit difficult. Mage Towers do not accept visitors at all. You have to go inside to get a sense of the atmosphere.... The entrance keeps getting blocked.”

“Do you know who you are and stop me?”

“It doesn’t seem like that. They are not accepting visitors themselves.”

“What happened?”

“It’s a rumor I heard while wandering around the Magic Tower. It is said that a huge amount of magic gun spells have flooded the Mage Tower. Is that why?”

“A magic gun?”

As Elio pondered over the meaning, a person approached slowly.

Elio’s eyes widened as he inadvertently turned his head.

He was Viscount Osborn Kalos, the court mage of the Northern Kingdom of Escatos.

Viscount Osborne Carlos greeted me with a smile.

“Have you been at peace?”
