Chapter 71: Rosenberg Household vs. Anti-Rosenberg Faction

Chapter 71: Rosenberg Household vs. Anti-Rosenberg Faction

Reluctantly Eli agreed to let Regulux and the others board.

The airship Rosenblat took off and they headed for the Tola Mountains, where the battle would happen.

After a few hours they arrived.

A floating mountainous region was the site of the battle.

From the Rosenberg duchy some ships together with their flagship took off.

Small and large acres of what was once a huge mountain and forest now floated in the sky.

This phenomenon was caused by a mana zone. The strange thing is that there were never such mishaps here.

On one side was floating some stands, where witnesses would be watching the duel. It was covered by several cups of magic spells and even court mages who were going to protect the witnesses.

But beyond, in the background of that beautiful blue sky, a large enemy fleet was approaching.

Eli screamed when she saw that large fleet.

"What's with that ridiculous number of ships?"

The number of enemy ships was 800. While the number on the Rosenberg Household side was only 300.

It was supposed to be a little more, to reach 450 ships. But there were still many more to go.

As Eli was puzzled by the situation, the captain of the flagship informed her.

"E-Elize ojou-sama there are problems!"

"Which ones they are?"

"We received a report recently, our other allies won't be able to come on time as they had a problem. We told them not to delay, but now we have been informed that the magic stone of their airships was destroyed."

"Excuse me?"

The magic stone is not only used to provide electricity and magic tools.

It also serves to enable airships to fly.

Because it is just a large glowing stone, it is placed on the highest part of an airship, airships are created to hide it so it is difficult to locate where it is hidden.

The magic stone distributes its power through a configured spell that absorbs its power and placed it on the hull of the ship.

It is totally different from that RPG game where the magic stone went to the bottom of the ship.

Eli demanded to know why they haven't changed the magic stone on their ships and come.

But the captain informed her...

"I'm very sorry, but everyone said that their reserves were destroyed."

"..."

(The noble houses that are missing to come are using excuses... or did someone really destroy them?)

Magic stones are fragile, that's why they are kept in safe locations, but for them to break or crack is due to a greater force... like a human hand.

Eli thought about how weird this was, but there was no turning back.

"Tell the allies to enlist, and to inform the enemy flagship that we've arrived."

"Y-Yes."

Eli trembled as the numerical advantage was ridiculously large, and even the size of the ships was just as large.

Inside the flagship of the Anti-Rosenberg faction, there was Grin smiling wickedly.

"The day has come for the Rosenbergs to pay for what they did to me."

"Just for this day I asked for help from a friend in a certain place."

"Tell the enemy forces to ignore the other ships, to focus on the flagship."

Grin listened as Eli reported that they were ready. His sinister smile only grew darker.

"Tell Bayman he can have some fun while the super battleships advance."

The flagship was escorted by three super battleships, warships that were created to resist attacks and destroy their enemies with their powerful cannons, the length of the ship was a thousand meters.

Grin knew he had won without lifting a finger.

"So what do we do?"

Regulux and the others were on the deck discussing.

Apparently, the battle would soon begin as the airships were slowly taking off.

"The whole point of this battle is to defeat the enemy flagship. We must shoot it down or conquer it."

Regulux said as Cid replied with affirmation.

"You're right, but how will we make it there?"

Regulux smiled confidently and went to a far part of the deck where some objects covered by sheets lay.

As he removed the sheets, a nostalgic memory came to Cid's mind.

"These are the same ones from that time."

Some hover boards similar to the warhorses they used in their duel were here.

Regulux brought them when they went to see Eli, brought them in when she was given permission.

"We'll use these and approach the flagship and conquer it."

"Sounds like a good plan, but you're overconfident."

Cid said, and Oscar seconded him.

"It is as Prince Cidfert says, Your Highness. The enemy cannons will kill us before we get in close."Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

"For that reason we will take different routes. Since there are six of us, we'll split in two to get these guys up. And with that"

"Hey, where's Bellange?"

Jake turned to look as did the others, but they couldn't find him.

"That's weird this, he was supposed to be behind me."

"Would he have gone to lunch?"

"At a time like this!"

"This is Bellange we're talking about."

"..."

Regulux sighed and said, well, it'll just be us. Let's inform Elize of what we'll be doing.

The five headed to Eli's to report the situation they would do, but it was too late.

A beam of light struck a nearby ship.

"What was that?"

The attack had begun.

Several beams of light approached and the ship was destroyed, but without killing anyone, it only destroyed the magic stone and was slowly descending until it hit the ground.

Regulux didn't understand that until he saw someone on a ship pointing.

"What's going on here?"

In the cabin of the flagship, Eli and the others were shocked.

"Why are they attacking us?"

Some of the aircraft were attacking them, they were not the enemies but from their side.

"Are they betraying us right now?"

Betrayal during a war game was forbidden, but unless it was a false betrayal and they were always their enemies.

That was allowed since it was before the declaration of war.

Allied ships that were now enemies were firing on the allies.

Eli ordered the captain to attack.

"Deploy the cannon, quickly!"

"Aye, aye!"

According to the manual, hidden on the deck was a double cannon.

It was large enough to cover almost the entire forward part.

The cannon moved close to a ship that was firing at them.

"Fire!"

Shouted the captain and a large cannonball was fired, despite being covered by defensive magic spells, the ship exploded.

Quickly it moved to fire at another.

But the enemies were not going to give them time.

"Captain, the enemy fleet is closing fast!"

Small ships and a super battleship were slowly approaching to begin the attack.

Eli bit her lips as she shouted what her heart held in her heart.

"Damn you all!"

"The situation is very bad because of the Rosenbergs, don't you think so instructor?"

"Yes."

On the stands, a small portion of the witnesses sent by the imperial palace were watching everything.

Among them were the sword saints.

A beautiful blonde-haired elven woman with green hair tips and closed eyes, Christina was looking at the situation in annoyance.

The man next to her, a young man with flaming red hair and a round face, Goredolph, the sun saint.

And to the side of him, a man with light blue hair was looking at himself in the mirror instead of the battle, Lucius, the saint of mercury.

The three saints were forced to come even though they were working.

Christina was the most irritated but not by coming but by her enemies.

"Attacking from their own side and then a large enemy fleet coming to back them up, no matter how you look at it is unfair."

"I'm surprised you'd say that when your eyes are closed."

A vein marked on Christina's forehead.

"Just because they're closed doesn't mean I can't feel the magical power of the air and thus visualize the idiotic situation."

"Sorry, hahahaha."

Goredolph chuckled a bit maliciously, instead Lucius only replied what he heard.

"Even if that's the case, on the battlefield enemies are everywhere. It is very careless of them to think that in their own ranks there would be no enemies, a rookie mistake."

Christina was annoyed and as she was about to lecture Lucius, she was rendered speechless by what she "saw."

"...?"

From the sleeve of his white shirt a tentacle came out and he started to brew some tea.

After making all the preparations for it, he tapped the cup lightly indicating it was ready.

Lucius took the cup as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

Christina after making an idiot face, turned her head from side to side to make sure she wasn't crazy.

Upon "seeing" Lucius again, he asked what was wrong.

"Is something wrong?"

"No... nothing."

(What was that?)

The battle continued with intensity.

"Wipe out the Rosenbergs!"

"A duke's family is a target for elimination!"

"Kill them all, gyahaha!"

The voices of the sailors that could be heard were weird.

Despite the sound of the cannons echoing in the sky, their cries of wanting to kill them all were much clearer.

It was then that Celia said something that puzzled them further.

"The vulgar way they talk, doesn't it sound like pirate language to you?"

"Pirates?"

Evelyn asked since she didn't know that word, Celia was the one who explained what they were.

"Criminals are usually called bandits, but when they are on land. When they are on the heights, whether they have revolted or mutinied, they are called pirates to differentiate."

"I see, it's very odd indeed."

"That may be, but the question is not that. Otherwise, why did they mutiny? It's odd all."

The Rosenblat's guns were still firing at their approaching enemies.

"Don't hesitate, finish those little shits off!"

"Take the head of the Rosenbergs' daughter!"

"Baron Grin promised us a large sum of money to whoever brings him the head of that bitch!"

Several veins were marked on Eli's forehead.

"Hoh? So that Grin guy is the one responsible for this...right."

Eli turned and walked out of the booth, the girls were right behind her.

"I hear the Rosenberg women are beautiful and full-figured, I want to have some fun with them, gehehe."

Richard clicked his tongue as he pulled his sword from its sheath.

"Despicable scum that have human form, I'll be sure to send them to hell for having such disgusting thoughts."

The pirates were closing in on Richard... but he in one swipe wiped them out of this world.

Sounds of liquid and objects falling to the ground echoed.

As he walked in that red puddle, more pirates approached.

"Die!"

"Don't think you're a big deal!"

In the same manner as with the previous ones, Richard cut them down without blood falling on his armor.

Despite the sword being rusty and a bit dull, he could cut through bodies like butter.

After taking out the pirates on the deck, he positioned himself like an Olympic athlete and then hurriedly ran inside after breaking the door with a kick.

Upon entering, he set about mowing everyone down and after a few minutes, he reached the cockpit where more pirates were.

"Who the hell is that?"

The pirate couldn't finish speaking as Richard cut his throat and then the others.

He moved the rudder and brought the ship to crash with other smaller ships that were his allies.

A large explosion was slowly occurring.

Richard jumped out the window and giving a few acrobatics reached the ground, the height was thirty meters and without a scratch.

Cid was circling the ship as he watched the explosions, Richard saw him and took a big jump straight to the hover bike.

"Let's go to the next one."

"Err, yeah..."

(Who is this guy?)

(How come he can move like that?)

The boys were heading for the second super battleship approaching.

Hundreds of pirates were approaching.

"What the hell was that?"

In the cockpit of the flagship, Grin was shocked.

He watched as a dozen ships and one of their escorts were destroyed without issue.

"Don't fuck with me!"

"Despite the fact that the pirates are prisoners released from the Babel Tower thanks to Minister Olgren! These idiots have the luxury of killing them!"

(What's worse is that Bayman finds himself fighting someone, despite the fact that we told him to eliminate the escorts, he goes and does as he pleases.)

(But it doesn't matter, we still have two more escorts. We can win without any problems).

Grin, who was nervous, calmed down when he remembered that victory was his.

A servant brought him some coffee with milk.

Only the members of the flagship were civilized people, the other ships had pirates taken from the only prison in the country.

A servant informed Grin.

"My lord, your guest has arrived."

"Guest?"

"Yes, he says he is the Rosenberg traitor."

"Oh, yes, yes, I called him to drink together as those idiots will fall."

"My fault, I forgot. Tell him to come in."

The servant went to the door and as he opened it.

"Hello."

Ludger was smiling smoking his cigarette.

"...!"

At the Rosenberg mansion in the capital, Desmond had just awakened.

The way he woke up was so abrupt that it seemed as if a nightmare had awakened him.

He stepped out onto the balcony and began sniffing... he smiled in a sinister way.

"I smell someone powerful over there, magical power is very great... no, it's his natural power. Someone like me who has great physical strength by nature. someone worth killing!"

She jumped off the balcony and landed on the lawn.

Claude was watering the flowers while Barbara rested, Glenn still not back.

He watched Desmond approaching a tree.

"If I'm not mistaken, that's the guest of the future duke, isn't it?"

He set the watering can on the ground and called to Desmond as he approached.

"Excuse me, can I help you?"

Desmond ignored him and with his fingernails cut the top of the tree, including its branches.

The top part looked like a stake.

He firmly grasped the body of the tree and then cut off the lower part.

With one hand he lifted the tree that was ten meters long.

Claude could not believe it.

Being close to where the smell was strongest, Desmond decided to act.

"Looks like there's a big party going on in that place and nobody invited me! Gijiji!"

"I won't spare them!"

He threw the tree into the sky and it flew in a straight line as if it were a missile.

Desmond leaned back his legs and in one great leap reached the tree that was soaring through the skies, it looked like it was surfing on the clouds.

Claude was speechless at the sight of it.

"Exactly... who is he?"

When I left the girls to go get Cordelia, I had a little snag.

"Get away from me, come back!"

"No, you're into something weird again!"

Being several miles away from the mansion, I noticed Bellange was following in my wake.

How was it possible for her to be following me when I'm using Raijin phase 1?

It must be because he is a huge muscular gorilla and his legs are highly exercised.

Even though I tried to lose him, Bellange was hunting me like an animal following its prey.

He would always find me.

The location I had to go to was an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of the capital.

I arrived and unfortunately Bellange was behind me.

We went inside, I told him not to move, but the idiot didn't listen to me.

An arrow pointed to a bookcase in the living room, which when moved had a secret entrance to go down.

We went down, I told him again to stay or at least to stay far behind me.

This idiot is very foolish, I should punch him and knock him out, but that veiny neck looks like it is very tough.

When we got to the bottom, we found some ruins, it looked like someone used this place as a hideout.

It was a cave, but there were small houses and electrical installations.

By the way, the electrical installations are just magic stones that give energy and are placed every twenty steps diagonally.

There in the center was Cordelia tied up. She seemed to be unconscious as she was lying on the floor.

We approach, the first thing Bellange does is prove to be an idiot.

"Hey that maid is hurt!"

"You idiot, don't talk loudly!"

"Sorry!"

"..."

When we arrived at Cordelia's, she woke up, she looked confused as she looked from side to side.

"Hey, where am I?"

"What are we doing here?"

"No time to explain, we have to go"

"You're not going anywhere..."

A somber voice interrupted me, I looked to see who it was, but no one was there.

Bellange said something that made me turn to where he was looking.

"Bartlet look over there! What's that?"

"Where?"

Near where we came down, a shadow on the ground was growing.

From the shadow a silhouette emerged, it was a person covered with a black cloak.

In different places many pools of shadow appeared and from them different black figures emerged.

Near a pile of rubble, the largest shadow emerged.

A black cloaked figure was talking to me.

"... We told you to come alone."

"This guy came on his own."

"You disobeyed the order."

Bellange looked surprised as if he just understood what's going on.

"Don't tell me this is why you ran off!"

She slumped to the ground as if the revelation of what had happened had left her with a huge emotional scar.

"Damn it... I screwed up. I'm so sorry."

(Hey, don't talk nonsense. Better get up and help me fight.)

"It doesn't matter anyway, we only wanted you."

I asked the guy with the grim voice.

"Who are you?"

"... You don't need to know."

I could count that there were about a hundred mysterious figures but now there were 99.

One of them appeared behind me as I could feel his presence from before.

It brought its knife close to my throat, it was a black knife, it looked like a military man's knife.

Then I quickly grabbed its hand and brought it in front of me with a single movement.

None of them seemed to understand how I did it, but no matter.

I raised my foot and then in one motion I crushed this idiot's head.

Something broke, it appeared to be a mask as remnants of something resembling clay and blood were mixed on the ground.

From the face that was visible, it looked like I killed a woman. Her skin was dark, but of an almost violet hue. Her hair was white like the iris of her eyes.

The guy in the center was saying to me.

"Interesting, this is the first time in our entire existence that something like this has happened. Congratulations, you have earned the right to taste the full power of the Dark Shadows."

The figures took off their cloaks, their bodies visible. Light armor covered their bodies and among them the leader, he was the one that caught my full attention.

His armor looked more like a black biohazard suit.

A strange black sphere in the center and his mask unlike the others who were similar, this one was almost like that of a dog with a long hair which I think is his hair.

His feet pressed hard on the ground as he slowly approached.

"My name is Zoro Zoroaster, the leader of the Dark Shadows, the guardians of the dark side of the empire."

"The dark side of the empire!" Cordelia said in shock.

"They were only supposed to be an urban legend!"

"Don't worry woman, we won't take your life or that other young man's, but we will surely avoid your memories of what happened. The future duke's life must be eliminated as the order we received."

That annoyed me a little.

"Order? From whom?"

"You don't need to know, as you will soon die."

I smiled wickedly at that threatening answer.

"Oh yeah?"

"Too bad, since I'll be the one to erase you."

I slowly approached too, after all....

"Who says I'll be the one to die and you won't?"

I swore I would avoid my death, so no one will kill me. Let's kick these idiots' asses.
