Chapter 240

Episode 240

: Death of the Sword Master.

The news did not circulate only within the empire, but spread throughout the continent.

Moreover, the sword master is a very famous person.

The leader of the knights’ order directly under the emperor.

As he was a man with legendary achievements, having brought down a kingdom single-handedly, the impact of his death was enormous.

‘No matter how old I am, I have no business...’

‘What on earth happened?’

‘It’s true that a big problem has occurred in the empire.’

‘Mobilize all your power to understand the situation in the empire.’

Naturally, the surrounding countries were bound to go into an uproar.

It may be a good thing that the empire’s power is weakened, but on the other hand, it could also be seen as a serious issue.

Although I hate the Empire, I recognize the power they have.

The fact that the leader of such an empire died without being able to use any power meant that the surrounding countries would not be able to respond properly.

Dangerous.

Beyond the empire, the surrounding kingdoms began to become alert.

What on earth happened when they were moving?

“Aaaaaah!”

A man’s harsh cries rang out in the imperial castle.

The sound of glass breaking, walls breaking, and people screaming without distinction of men and women were heard.

“Damn zenjaaaaaaaaa! “How on earth did this happen?”

The emperor was on a rampage.

The knight commander died. What kind of person is the Commander of the Hwangseong Knights?

He was called the best sword of the empire and was also an undefeated general who traveled countless battlefields with the emperor.

The emperor believed.

He was confident that

the Knight Commander could meet his needs in any situation, and the Knight Commander always lived up to his expectations.

But how did this happen?

The knight commander, who should have calmly reported the completion of his mission with an expressionless face as always, is dead.

Who could have predicted this?

No one expected it. Aside from all other nicknames such as the undefeated general and the immortal general.

He is a sword master.

There are ranks among Masters, and the Knight Commander was a high-ranking Master.

He was a knight who honed his powers several years after becoming a master.

I couldn’t even figure out how he died.

“This cannot happen! how how...!”

The emperor is still on the rampage.

A corpse lay in front of him.

A corpse with its head cut off.

The head of a man with a face reminiscent of that fierce battle was separated from his body.

“Huh... this.”

“How could this happen...”

Even though the emperor was running wild without even being able to protect himself, the ministers were dumbfounded, not even thinking about stopping him.

It was shocking to them too.

As the Emperor’s close associate, the Knight Commander was the one who oppressed them, but on the other hand, he was also the strongest bastion.

Because it was such a strong being, there were cases where it appeared even more proudly when envoys from other countries came.

I was confident that even if a war broke out, I could win.

However, it was truly devastating to see the person who had given me such confidence die in vain.

“Have you fallen into a trap?”

“It would have been better that way, but they said that wasn’t the case. “He was defeated by the enemy in a head-to-head fight...”

“But how do you know that?”

“They said the soldier who brought his body told them.”

“Where is that soldier?”

And for that to happen, Ahar, the protagonist of the original work, had to move.

What happened?

Even when I went back to my memory, there was no mention of Ahar appearing.

“Um...”

-The Empire has also requested cooperation, and we are in a position to listen to that cooperation. Of course, it’s not just us.

“After all, it is a request from the empire.”

-Honestly, it’s not because it’s an empire. no. It is true that it is because of the empire, but there is only one reason why we cooperated with the empire’s request.

Beware of unknown people.

At a time when the knight commander of the empire was hit, other kingdoms could not just ignore it.

Once the empire was defeated, it was their turn.

And at the point where the Empire had already suffered, the odds of them winning it were close to zero.

No matter how much you hate the empire, you cannot ignore it even when it is threatened.

Moreover, there was no way he could ignore those who did not cooperate, since the emperor said that he would leave the enemy behind and punish them first.

Even if the knight commander died, the empire was still an empire.

If an empire rushes in at any cost, no country can withstand it.

-So we’re trying to conscript knights and soldiers, but honestly, I’m having a lot of trouble.

You have to send it in moderation, but it is difficult to control that moderation.

This is because what the empire wants and what they want to do are different.

Although they would cooperate, they did not want to lower their power.

So, it is said that it is not easy to organize troops to send reinforcements appropriately so that the empire does not feel offended.

Listening to his words, I thought for a moment.

“Can you put me in that unit?”

-what?

The crown prince’s eyebrows furrow.

-Are you serious about that?

“yes.”

-That place is different from here. There is no one to help you and you don’t know what will happen. But you still want to go?

“yes. “I will go.”

-Huh... I have no idea. I can’t tell what you’re thinking.

The Crown Prince shakes his head.

The face looked like it was asking for an explanation, but I couldn’t come up with an explanation.

‘How can I tell you that the culprit is like Ahar and that we want to get rid of him through this war?’

Not only would it take a long time to explain it, but I doubted whether he would even believe it.

It’s best to just quietly participate and get the job done.

‘In some ways, it might be the best situation.’

It was over 4 years.

During that time, I made progress and gained confidence.

And in some ways, it might have been good timing.

Not only was it difficult to find Ahar, but there was no reason to start a war against him.

But participating in the war like this gave me a cause.

‘Mahor is there too, and Vaan is fully in control of the empire.’

The timing couldn’t have been better.

Especially in a situation where one of the Empire’s sword masters was dead, there was no way to give Ahar more time.

Ahar will become stronger as time passes.

I may be able to barely fight him right now, but later on, there will be no one who can beat him.

Even if all the Masters gather together, you may end up in a situation where you can’t kill him.

If that happens, all the hard work I’ve done since coming here will have no meaning.

I don’t want that.

I don’t want to die. This is an opportunity.

A chance to kill him.

Moreover, now was the best situation as he could leave the empire and receive support from all kings.

-I don’t think I’ll change my mind... I get it. I’ll try my best. Well, unless something really special happens, you’ll probably be able to get in. It would be even better if you went in.

Just the name of the unit that crossed the Master’s Gate and that the son of Count Millennium participated was said to have provided sufficient support from the Serion Kingdom.
