Chapter 269 – Emperor, Sing (1)

Early morning when everyone is asleep.
Time for the dead to wake up.
The undead soldiers planted by Aderange woke up belatedly and started making a fuss.

Guuuuu….

Due to the recent complete infestation of one brothel by the undead, residents reacted quickly upon seeing a zombie or ghoul.

To slaughter the approaching undead in groups of people, and then slowly get out of the street and ask for support from the guards.

But unfortunately for them, there were no people in the guards. It wasn’t the kind of negligence that usually happens late in the morning.

“No shit! What the hell is this at dawn!”
“When I look at the communication, they say it’s like this everywhere else.”

It was the zombie apocalypse that struck in the Middle Ages. Zombies are familiar, so they won’t lead to extinction, but it’s a problem that will make you agonize over it for a while.

And in that state, Dojin arrived at the wall and cut down all the soldiers guarding the gate.

‘It was close.’

In Do-jin’s field of vision, he sees the night sky getting brighter. A sign of the rising sun. It’s dawn.

And Dojin orders gave to Kanta to lead the army to the empire with the dawn. By now, in a place where you can see the castle wall, Dojin must be peeping to see if he will really open the gate.

Do-jin, who immediately opened the gate and climbed up the castle wall, found an army slowly approaching from afar.

‘He brought them all.’

Siege warfare, the biggest headache of medieval armies, was solved at once. With this, the barbarian army will vent its anger on the empire.

Some of the imperials mixed in there would feel something strange- but it was already too late since they came this far.

“Aderange.”
– The owner.
“Let’s go.”

I’ll make sure the troops are here. I would have left the walls open. Do-jin left to do what he had to do.

The empire had to be disrupted, and it had to be made beyond the Spring and Autumn period to the era of the Sixteen Kingdoms.

And to do that, it was necessary to kill the emperor first.

* * *

“… You really opened it.”

Saying that, Renata looked at the open castle gate in the distance. That castle gate won’t open unless there’s an emergency.

It’s because it’s too big to fit the wall. Usually, a fair amount of procession can pass by just by opening the small side door next to it.

“Well, we have to do as we are told.”

As Aruru said, he looked back at his soldiers his led by him. He said that most of the knights he led had died, and thanks to that, all that was left were the soldiers he didn’t like.

So, instead of being conscripted or serving prison terms, there were only ragtags who were conscripted for illness.

‘… You can win, right?’

Aruru started to worry that he might be killed by a dog. However, the soldiers, including the savages, did not even think of such a thing, let out a shout and rushed to the wall.

Aruru, seeing his soldiers rushing at him, rushed away, thinking that he would be annihilated by the horse cannons mounted on the walls.

In reality it didn’t. The walls were too quiet. As if there were no soldiers guarding it.

‘Hey, there’s no reason to open the castle gates if the soldiers are guarding them….’

If so, did Dojin defeat all the soldiers guarding the wall? But how? Soldiers can see each other, but keep a distance and stand guard.

This is to prevent a powerful superman from appearing and occupying the wall. No matter how brilliant a superman is, he cannot simultaneously exist on that vast wall.

So, if the surviving soldier sends a request for reinforcements to the headquarters, it’s over. Occupying the wall was a while, and the knights of the empire rushed in and subdued the superman.

‘How the hell did he stop that?’

A phenomenon that Aruru’s head couldn’t understand. It wasn’t until she led her army through the gates that she realized it.

The interior of the empire was completely on fire. It was not an arson committed by Dojin. It was for another reason.

“… Zombie?”

It was only then that Aruru realized that there was a vampire by Do-jin’s side as he watched the zombie bite the villager from afar.

A disaster-class creature that alone can destroy a country.

The zombie glanced at the army, realized that they were her own allies her, and left to bite the other villagers.

Aruru and Renata watched the scene and gave orders to the troops. An order to burn the empire.

* * *

-Protect the imperial castle! Don’t let those damn zombies get near you!
—Don’t let His Majesty touch even a single hair!

The elite troops of the Empire, the Royal Knights, all gathered in the Imperial Castle to protect the Emperor. Dojin saw that and thought it was really stupid.

The strongest in this empire is the emperor. Instead of gathering her forces here to protect her, they should have spread out in all directions to stop her undead and her army her.

‘Well, after the emperor dies, they all know that it’s all over.’

It is unlikely that even a mere knight knows that the emperor is strong. It is all the more so because the Emperor seems to have a tendency to dominate with outstanding charisma rather than asserting his own military force.

There’s no way she knows that her strength and charisma her come from her lineage her.

‘Aderange, let’s go up.’
—Okay, Master.

Do-jin lightly ignored the royal knight who flies in the sky and protects the ground. It was something I couldn’t normally do.

Unlike the castle wall, there was a barrier surrounding the castle, and even passing birds could not pass through it.

Unless he has a special ability to nullify magic like Do-jin, he will be blocked by the barrier and burned to death.

Do-jin, who penetrated the barrier and arrived at the top floor of the imperial castle, started going down to the station to the room where the emperor was.

“I’m sorry-.”
-The owner?
“No… The emperor, this crazy bitch….”

On the way down, Dojin felt the overwhelming momentum shooting at him and was started. The Emperor radiated his energy, as if he had no intention of hiding where he was.

And it was like discovering the existence of Do-jin, who had to act as an assassin. Do-jin shook her head, saying that there was no reason to sneak in from the top floor.

When I went down one level where I could feel the emperor’s energy, there were knights standing there who radiated powerful energy.

‘Ah, these guys….’
“—Have you come?”
“…… ?”

Dojin, who realized that the knights of the round table, and also the beings from 1st to 10th that Dojin had never seen before, hesitated at his more polite attitude than he thought.

When Dojin stopped, a man in a white tuxedo suit carefully greeted him.

“I am the mysterious Signiel, the 1st seat of the Knight of the Round Table.”
“Two seats, it’s an ohgan of physical strength.”
“Three seats….”

A total of 8 knights, from 1st to 9th, bowed to Dojin, excluding the 5 Seok killed by Dojin.

Do-jin, who heard their greetings, introduced himself along with me.

“Dojin.”
“Do-jin. I was waiting.”
“Wait? You guys, me?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”

Do-jin’s mind kept wondering that people he didn’t even know their names or faces were waiting for him.

As if to say he would answer that question, Signiel explained the reason right away.

“His Majesty the Emperor said that guests would come.”
“A guest….”
“And he made sure that the guest was treated with extreme hospitality so that he would not be disappointed.”

Sereung-.
From the 1st to the 9th, 8 swords are pulled out at the same time. Dojin was slightly nervous and pulled out his sword.

Each and every one of them was an unstoppable force. 5 Seok was careless and was decapitated by me at once, but even if the opposite situation came out, it was not strange at all because he was a strong man.

“Then I will go.”

As Signiel said that and waved his finger in the air, countless mysteries flew towards Dojin at the same time.

Before I had time to use the reign of the Heavenly Demon to get rid of him, six knights charged at the same time.

-Master, are you okay?
‘It’s okay.’

I could have fought Aderange from the start and wiped them out… Dojin looked at the knight attacking him.

Intuition came. A sense of growth.

It was a very dangerous situation in which he could lose his life, but when he thought that he could go through this and grow bigger, Dojin’s brain began to draw the most efficient trajectory.

Wield a sword and slash the enemy
Let’s see the end of this extremely simple act.

* * *

The first to rush to Do-jin were 2 Seok, the largest of the knights. With superpowers befitting the title of brute strength, he forced his defense by striking down a greatsword that was questionable whether he could hold it with one hand.

Dojin defended and counterattacked at the same time. In this way, the completed swordsmanship had to be attacked and defended, and defense and attack continued like flowing water.

As I cut his throat and passed 2 seats, a white beam of light flew behind it. A mystery blown by 1 stone, canceled with Heavenly Demon Reign.

At the same time, a knight with a dagger pointed a dagger at Dojin. Even if you look at the green light flashing, it doesn’t seem right.

So he did. Do-jin kicked his foot, cut off the dagger, and wrapped his legs around the knight’s neck. And broke his neck his.

It was a movement that could not be called swordsmanship, but since he had learned it once before, his talent made it a success without difficulty even after a long time.

‘Six.’

Even though the two fell in an instant, the expressions of the remaining knights showed no embarrassment. It was loyalty close to madness, no, it was faith.

They believed in the Emperor. So, the emperor’s order was interpreted as a command from God.

If he dies while carrying out the orders given by the emperor, he will be regarded as a martyr while carrying out the orders given by God.

Help make that happen Dojin kicked, hit, stabbed, and swung to cut the remaining five.

Seok 1, who realized that the mystery did not work, belatedly came running with a sword. As if he didn’t get 1 seat only by mystery, it was the best swordsmanship among the rest.

Dojin started to learn his swordsmanship while facing him, and thus perfectly grasped his countermeasures and weaknesses of his.

The mystery would have erased that weakness, but now that I can’t use the mystery, it’s a swordsmanship with a clear weakness – Do-jin’s sword pierced his chest right away.

In the middle of his chest his, Seok 1 let go of his sword and slowly opened his mouth.

“…… Did you like the treat?”
“Ah.”

Satisfied. When Dojin said that, Seok 1 collapsed with a smile. Do-jin left the fallen Knights of the Round Table behind and opened the emperor’s door they were guarding.

The emperor who was inside greeted the wounded Do-jin with a smile as if he was overjoyed.

“Come on, come—”

Dojin swung his sword without a word.
