After the twelve armies of Aslan, Leton and the other three went through a dark cave.

I feel like I'm upside down. I feel my head spinning, and even my vision is dark and I can't see.

As I grope my hands against the wall and put magic in my eyes, I finally start to see the front.

“This is no ordinary cave. ”

Sticky liquid touches the fingertips.

Smells of bitter iron.

Blood.

The entire rock wall is covered in wet blood.

The faces of Leton and Jehovah became pale.

“I'm sorry. A warped erl is dead. I've opened a warp with foolish creatures, but the sequelae will be severe. It takes about a month to prepare for the journey back. ”

Duke Duran moves in front of the priests.

“Follow me.”

The wives followed behind him in cold sweat.

Duke Duran was one of the original Vampires who had negotiated with the Emperors.

It was also the last card against the Holy See, just in case King Lahamma was in danger.

Darkness like black gradually turns red.

Noises in my ears.

Leton and his disciples gaze to the right, following Duke Duran.

A spark rises from the cracks of the rock.

Leton and the widows shoved their heads through the hole.

“Oh, my God!"

Rough metallic sound.

Fire zones like craters flow beneath the cliffs, and there are Goblins moving through the metal in between.

The ogres smashed a huge hammer and refined the metal.

Hundreds of Goblins and dozens of Ogres.

They were making weapons.

Goblins collapse from overwork, and Ogres bite and devour Goblins.

The Goblin's torso disappears and the bleeding lower body is placed in a coated metal and hammers are hammered.

The Goblin Shaman is chanting a spell next to you.

‘... the weapons of the curse made of blood. ’

“Leton, look to your right! ”

According to a colleague, Leton sticks his head out into the cave on the right, cavernous rock.

“What is this? ”

It's a swamp.

It was only discovered that the rise of rotten meat and bones was caused by decomposition of the corpse.

There were many humans, and the armored Orcs controlled them.

Humans can be many things: slaves, prisoners, deserters, elderly people dying of old age, and sick people.

Humans gathered around this world.

“Yes, I'd rather be a monster than be chased to death! ”

They ask themselves to become monsters and enter the swamp.

Something pulls them in.

“It is the process of becoming a creature. I'd have to give her the blood of my great-grandfather, but unfortunately, it takes too long."

Among the humans entering the swamp, a man who has already soaked himself for decades walks out.

“I feel it. Powerful-! ”

The muscles of a big distracted man's back twitch.

The Orcs give him equipment.

They are building an "army."

An army that's nothing compared to the vampires so far.

“It's not just here. We are raising an army across the continent. It seems the late Kirum has appealed to the Vampire King."

Leton swallowed a dry saliva.

You still follow Duran.

Leton has reached the end of the cave.

Wide halls.

When they got there, Letón and his wife spoke up.

The Empress screams.

“Monster, monster! ”

“Snake, snake? Dragon?"

The Empress screams, and Leton rolls his eyes.

I said something admirable.

“Basilisk."

A giant snake 15 metres tall just by lifting its head.

A white scale is wrapped around your stomach and your back is wrapped like the armor of a hard crustacean.

A monster with sharp reptile eyes flies its tongue, staring at the wives.

“It's my pet. ”

Basilisk looks at the wives.

In particular, he approached right in front of Leton and opened his mouth.

The stench of my skin seems to melt from the poison coming out of it.

Duke Duran sits on the throne in front of Basilisk.

You shrug your head in arrogance and bite your hand.

There's blood.

Powerful magical energy is emitted.

“What are you going to do? ”

He looks at Duke Duran, reeking of blood.

“Will you make an alliance with us? ”

“Water, of course. Hah, but as long as there is a Princess Tinya, Aslan will support her, and even if we get rid of her, we will be in chaos. The commanders won't follow you. The people... ”

“In the Alliance, isn't there the best way? The most effective way to eradicate rebellion from the people and nobles. I don't hate Princess Tinya's noble blood, either. ”

Leton's eyes widen.

“Are you suggesting a marriage? ”

“If all the Empress agrees, yes. All we need is an ally. And I will give all my power to my wives. The Dark Elves will be left to you as puppeteers, a chance for you to be king with all your might. What do you think?”

Leton approaches Duke Duran.

The Empress reaches out to dry him, but Rather, Leton sprinkles them.

“You know you're a vampire, an immortal life. And predators at the pinnacle of all. ”

Swallow dry saliva.

You reach for the shivering hand, gazing at the blood flowing from Duke Duran's hands as if possessed.

Duke Duran's red eyes turn bloodier.

“So follow me. ”

Leton kneels.

I reached out my hands, covered in blood, and breathed into my mouth.

* *

I was writing a list in the Office of the Holy Father and Mother Law.

Perfect plan.

That's it.

“... the Golden White Water Plan. ”

The Charlotte next to me frowned.

“What do you mean? ”

“I heard the White story. ”

As soon as White inherited the Holy See, he ran out of the Great Sagittarius to look for Pope Ruefel.

His personality would have been much more burdensome than that of a bipolar tyrant trying to find the Duchess Rupel.

Anyway, as soon as I got out of the Holy Father's office, it was the point.

And look.

How is he living?

White can't do anything when he tries to leave something to the Imperial Court because all his powers have been taken away.

I am stuck in my room, and sometimes I hunt for vampires as a hobby or send to other countries with paladins.

I'm literally enjoying life.

“Are you sure you don't want to become a saint? ”

“Why do you think I'm trying so hard? ”

I became a member of the Phoenix at some point.

I worked hard for the Great Depression and ran by myself to protect the people.

Almost unconscious, more like instinct.

Some of the blood of the Despair hates the Vampires, but we cannot allow the innocent to be preyed upon by filthy monsters.

However, we cannot escape from the Imperial Palace.

The status quo is charming, but the freedom is repressed.

Like Celt, it was meant to be in the imperial palace for almost 100 years, beyond the battlefield.

The reason for making the Christian Crusade is actually to make me comfortable.

“I declared war on vampires all over the continent. He's been sent to hunt down the Vampires with a massive paladin. ”

Vampire pressure has begun.

Now, vampires will not only live in war, they will live in hiding.

Yeah, as long as Celt's with me, the peace will last.

But if Celt disappears, the Vampires will rise with it.

To prevent it is the Ten Thousand Crusaders.

The 10,000 Crusaders were never ordinary soldiers.

It is an overwhelming force compared to regular knights.

Fear is itself for the vampire.

This is to prevent war.

Scaring them to give up.

This can be intimidating enough by being somewhere in the Holy See, even if I am not there.

In other words, I can live a comfortable life in peace itself.

“I miss you. That Alan's become a saint. ”

I could feel Charlotte's regret.

“Don't worry, it'll spill as soon as it's instantaneous. ”

I already have power.

Oskar the Swordsman will also act on my orders.

I can free myself from the siege of escape.

The Holy Father's succession will automatically fall to White or Luan.

They have gender traits.

In a peaceful age without war, we will work for our people.

Then you hear a knock.

The door opens and Elise, who looks like a maid, bows her head.

“Hans wants you to take a look at the cannon test. ”

It's hard to talk at work.

I got up from my seat.

The time has come to see the new weapon.

* *

Military training is massive.

Be absolutely powerless as long as I am around at least.

Based on the loyalty of the rowdy, six reliable forces.

You instruct them to carve a piece of the Aztalun onto their bodies.

"With the help of Cardinal Uriel and Cardinal Raphael, we asked them to help us engrave the Aztalun on six sides. ”

A little outside of the capital, Lawrence.

You can see the hills prepared for siege weapons training.

Charlotte, riding her horse, reports back to me.

“It looks like it will be finished by the end of the year. ”

Makes current power more powerful

This ensures the absolute safety of the people.

Carving Aztalun won't bring out the same power as Cardinal Michael of the Kaolium Cult, but they will have the same power as sexual amplification and immortality.

Least runic character with no possible side-effects, and less physical and mental burden.

As I was reading the book [Undead Synthesis Method, Structure of Chimera] and listening to Charlotte's explanation, I arrived at the training ground running siege weapons.

I was guided to the shooting range by Charlotte, and I could see Hans, alchemist, wizard, and more.

A big new weapon in front of them.

“... That's a lot of cannons. ”

It looks more like a small chariot than a cannon.

There is an iron sheet with a long sack up to 2.5 meters and a wooden wheel that supports it.

A large number of runic characters appear to require significant technical factors.

I looked at the huge lump of iron in front of my eyes.

Hans gives the order as dozens of alchemists and wizards gather.

Hans, who was tired, found me and approached me.

“Welcome, Holy Father. ”

“How long have you been here? ”

“A month spent the night. It's been developed hundreds of years ago, but based on that data, we've made a better case. Would you like to take a look?”

You nod.

The power of the Musket was enormous the first time it was used.

Cannons were expected to be wanted dozens of times over.

Hans injects Mana into the cannons with his wizards.

Manga rotates in the cannon and condenses the bullet.

Preparation time is 10 minutes.

“Then, fire! ”

Hans shakes his hand heavily.

A spark is ignited from the cannon with the sound of small fireworks. Smoke pours out, but it's still weak.

That's all.

The cannon, which is a lump of iron, doesn't even have a pulse.

Even the flying bullet didn't hit the target at 500 meters away, so it disappeared.

I said a ridiculous word.

“... are you making popcorn? ”

“Popcorn?”

Hans looks curious, but he smiles fairly satisfactorily.

“Haha! I'm a genius. Your Holiness, I'm sure you'll be disappointed, but the experiment just proved to be perfect. ”

Hans put his hand on my shoulder.

“For a genius, every calculation is in his head. Try some excitement. It's connected to Aztalun, so it should be enhanced remotely."

The alchemists and wizards around you frown at Hans.

Because you thought it was rude.

I did not mind using the Aztalun, as Hans said, to [advance] the cannons.

“Here we go again. ”

According to Hans' instructions, alchemists and wizards wear leather robes.

He wears goggles, earplugs.

“Your Holiness, I suggest you do the same. ”

Hans covered my ears with goggles, my wheat.

The [Advanced] Cannons are fueled by wizards.

The preparation time was less than 5 minutes ago.

The golden aztalun and the blue wonder blend together.

Manga flutters from within the cannon, and Hans nods and spits out a word.

“Fire!”

Boom!

My eyes widen, startled.

Cannons are pushing back.

At the same time, the bullet flies at a fierce speed with a dazzling light.

You make your way through the target and explode.

A wave of Mana is transmitted around the area.

You feel a faint but Mana breeze, even though the earth is ringing and 500 metres away.

“There must be at least five high priests in the application. You'll need skill to make sure you get it right. Five minutes to prep, at least if the Vampire or Undead is right. ”

Hans smiled at me.

“As long as it's not the landscape, those around five meters will bounce off immediately. ”

“Excellent!”

I clapped my hands.

It's more powerful than I thought.

You patted Hans on the back.

It's good.

Excellent weapon.

Vampires will be frightened just by the existence of these things.

No, not just vampires, but no kings on the continent look down on us.

It is a powerful force in maintaining peace.

“Can I see your plans? ”

Hans gave me the schematics of the cannon.

Scan through the drawings. The structure is not that complicated.

The drawings themselves were carved into my mind.

“Baron Hans Gerami. ”

“Yes, Holy Father. ”

Hans gladly smiled if my reaction was satisfactory.

“I'm a sergeant in the Earldom. ”

"..."

Hans' mouth opens.

I grabbed the experimental cannon myself.

Cannons explode and vanish.

Cannons are stored in the item window.

At the height of the cannon test, a paladin with a flag came rushing down the hill, far away.

“Emergency, emergency! ”

I have a copy in my hand.

The paladin came screaming and hurriedly got off the horse. He approaches me, knelt down and gave me the document in his hand.

“I'm picking up some unsanitary activity in Aslan. ”

I received a letter frowning.

The content was brief.

3,000 Orcs, 300 commanders and 5,000 slave soldiers have been deployed to the borders of Aslan.

Monsters?

I was dumbfounded and read below.

“Civil war. Civil war in Aslan! ”

The rebellion of the Empress.

Aslan is engulfed in the flames of the battlefield.
