Chapter 110 – Episode 110 the Second Civil War Breaks Out

“There are too many.”

I murmured while looking at the size of the imperial army stationed outside the castle.

“It looks like Duke Solarion has gathered them all together. I heard that only southern and eastern regular troops were recruited according to intelligence. The news is that the Western regular army and private soldiers of the imperial nobles will arrive later.”
“Okay?”

If that’s the case, I’m guessing there will be more.

‘That’s a lot.’
That was the first thought that came to mind.
I was also surprised by the scale of the Imperial Army, which had no end in sight.
It was not that he admired the power of an empire with such national power.
Just pure sentiment.

“Even if there are many regular soldiers, they cannot cross this wall.”

I was confident.
There must be many mages belonging to the imperial faction.
I never thought I would lose to them.
Rather.
There was a high possibility that the presence of wizards would be an advantage for me.

‘A wizard who cannot distinguish between a foe and a foe is like a disaster to allies.’

I quietly looked down at my enemies.

“Isn’t it like a swarm of ants?”

Said Ronald, standing next to him.

“Looks like you’ve relaxed. I didn’t expect you to have the energy to joke around in this situation.”
“I want to die laughing before I die.”
“Do you think you will lose?”
“I think that is very likely.”
“It must be because of the number of enemies, right?”
“Yes.”

He nodded.

“It is said that Duke Siegfried persuaded the Marquis of Mangreb, but it is difficult to think that they are all allies.”
“That is correct.”

The aristocrats rallied once more under the resurrected Duke Siegfried.
Nobles who had been hesitant to support the duke joined us.
There are nobles who are not.

“Soldiers who were confident that they could win might change their minds when they see that scale.”
“Then we need to raise the morale of our army.”
“Yes. Do you have any tips?”
“Nothing great.”

However, there was a way to properly raise the morale of the soldiers.

“Tell everyone. Look closely at the south gate.”
“All right.”

I cast fly magic.
The body fluttered and flew into the sky.

All eyes of the soldiers were focused on me as I flew into the sky.
Those who follow me.
Even those who oppose me.

“It’s Maurice!”
“It’s the traitor Maurice!”
“Now is your chance! All aim your weapons and fire!”

At the same time as a shout could be heard from below.

Whoa!
Wedge!

Countless arrows, stones, and magic rushed at me.
Most of them fell out of range.
Occasionally, all the attacks that came to my closest range.

Kwakwang! Bang!
I couldn’t cross my barrier and it broke.
The magic of the crumbled Empire.

I raised my hands high in the sky.
8 circles.
A magic called the end of humanity.
Everyone said that the magic that humans can use is the 8th circle.
9th circle.
It was a magic that was said to be impossible for humans to dare to touch.
It was said that only dragons and those who transcended humans could reach that level.
And.
I was able to taste the realm of the 9th circle for a very short time.
Through Lilith’s many magical books.

‘It’s not perfect, but.’
I could imitate the 9th circle.

And a piece of the 9th circle that I presented to them.

‘Meteor.’
It was different from the ones I had used with magic until now.
I stretched out my hand.

Whoa!

Mana raged.
The clothes I was wearing shook.
Fluttering clothes.
Sweat broke out on his forehead of her.
The feeling of mana rapidly draining was clear.
‘It’s exhaustion.’

My heart was beating wildly.
The circle, the engine that drives magic, ran like crazy.

Whoops!

The sound of the circle’s operation disturbed my ears.

I stretched out my hand to the sky and felt it touched.
‘Done.’

My heart was hot.
He gritted his teeth at the pain that felt like it would rip.
Blood flowed from the bitten lip of his.
Crying, I suppressed the feeling of blood rising.
“Turn it off.”

I grabbed my hand and pulled it down.
Hard!

The air shook with great force.
My whole body trembled.
Even while pulling the huge object, the attack on me did not stop.

Grown below.
Everyone present at the scene felt the air change.
And their gaze reached the sky.

“Uh?”

A meteorite was falling from the sky.

“I-what is that?”
“Me, Meteor?”
“What, something different?”

Those who felt strange tried to avoid it.
It was too late for that.

Kwaaang!

The light flickered.

***

“What is this?”

Ronald opened his mouth wide.
A meteorite stuck in a corner.
He had seen numerous meteor magics so far, but this was the first time he had seen such powerful magic.

“What, what the hell is this?”
“Meteor.”
“Up, the power is different. Existing Meteor can only kill hundreds at most, but this…”

Over a thousand units of the imperial army were lost.
Literally gone.
Leaving only a huge crater behind.

“It’s a magic that I can’t even use anymore anyway.”
“Why… Is that so?”
“Originally, it’s magic that I can’t use at my level.”

It means that the magic was used forcibly.

“Cool!”

Maurice coughed.
Blood came out of her hand, which covered her mouth her.

“Come on, Minister.”
“Don’t tell me. This is a secret between the Count and me.”
“… All right.”

Maurice’s body was so damaged that even Ronald could see it as a limit.
It was Meteor’s reaction.

“Enemies won’t be able to attack easily now. You don’t know what kind of magic I’m preparing.”
“Was it on purpose?”
“Okay. War is a battle of momentum. And broke the momentum of the enemy. Enough to buy you time.”

Maurice wiped her mouth.

“So we wait for reinforcements to come.”
“Do you have reinforcements?”
“Of course.”

Maurice’s voice conveyed her confidence.

‘Awesome.’
Ronald was amazed.
For a wizard, using magic that transcends his level his was literally a gamble.
If you don’t care, you can die from mana runaway.
It’s great to succeed without hesitation.
It was surprising that he was not afraid of his body breaking down her like this.
To raise the morale of soldiers.
For everyone’s victory.

If you are the ruler of an empire, shouldn’t you have this kind of charisma?

Ronald thought.

“If reinforcements come, I’ll have to hold on somehow until then.”
“I guess so.”

Cool cool!

Maurice covered her mouth.

“I’ll rest for a while, so please check the enemy’s movements.”
“All right.”

Ronald watched Maurice’s back her as he walked away.
If it was that man, even if he became emperor, he wouldn’t be lacking.

***

“You look very tired.”

I looked down at Ruclid, who was imprisoned in the dungeon.
He, no, her appearance was nonsensical.
Have you ever been assaulted?
There were blue bruises all over his face and body his, and his body his was trembling like an aspen tree.
The top of her was torn, barely covering her breasts of her, and there were no pants, only the panties she had worn as a man covered her lower body of her.

“Mo, Maurice… ?”

Leuclid raised his head.
She announced that her thin voice had become a woman.

“It doesn’t make sense. How does she feel when she is subjected to what she did to the empress?”
“You son of a bitch…”

As soon as he saw me, Ruclid gnashed his teeth.
I thought he would fall apart.

“You’re stronger than you think?”
“I will kill you. I will tear you to pieces and kill you. I will give you more pain than the shame I suffered!”
“It’s not that scary when you put it that way.”
“Profit!”

She got up and shook her cage.

“How long do you think you will stay there? Right now, the imperial army is on its way to reclaim the imperial castle. No matter how you hold on, it’s useless. In the end, they will be captured by the Imperial Army and kneel beneath me.”

His eyes glistened with madness.
However, unlike before, the focus was not blurred.
There was no sign of intermittent laughter.
‘It’s strange.’

It’s already been close to two weeks since I was imprisoned in my mansion outside the imperial palace.
But on the contrary, my mind has become more sober.
It was an incomprehensible phenomenon.

There must be something in the imperial palace that I don’t know about.
I don’t know what it is.
It was fortunate.

“It’s rather good news for me that you’re sane now.”
“What?”
“I will make a suggestion.”
“…”
“If the imperial army attacks as you said, and if you are camped outside the gates, I will declare defeat.”
“What?”
“Even if you don’t have to open the castle gate.”
“… Lie.”
“Why am I lying? It has always been true when it comes to betting.”
“How can you believe that?”
“Without mutual trust, bets cannot be made. If you don’t like that, you will be tortured without end. Even now, there are people outside the prison who want to violate you.”
“You bastard!”

Ruclid gritted his teeth.

“How is it? Would you like to place a bet?”
“What would you want if I lost?”
“I don’t want anything from you. I just raised an army because I didn’t like your depravity.”

Leuclide, who had been biting his lip, nodded his head.

“Great. If that’s the case okay.”
“Good. It is a deal.”

I said it was true
There was something I didn’t tell Ruclid.
That the Imperial Army had already arrived outside the gates.
It is said that there is magic around the dungeon that blocks vibration, noise, and sight.

It meant that even if the imperial army and the noble army were screaming and fighting outside, he would never hear it in his ears.

‘It’s not a lie.’

It doesn’t matter.
And there.

He didn’t have to be honest with the already dethroned emperor.

‘It must be fun.’

He is the figure of Leuclide who would mistakenly believe that even the servants he trusted would not come.

“Why are you even doing that?”

When we went outside, Seria asked.

“If I cast a spell, everything will be over.”
“That way, once the magic wears off, it will go back to normal. So.”

It was necessary to break hearts, not magic.
If you break your heart, it will break even if you don’t bother casting magic.

“By the way, Maurice-sama, are you okay?”

This time Emir asked.

“What do you mean?”
“Your complexion is pale.”
“Okay. It seems like you were a bit overworked because you were using magic earlier.”

When I let out a sigh, Seria replied.

“I saw it earlier. Also, master! You went into a complete panic?”
“I will not be able to use such magic in the future.”
“Why?”
“To put it simply, it was magic far beyond my level.”

Cool!

A cough came on suddenly.
I hastily covered my mouth.
I didn’t want to appear weak in front of them.

“It’s okay?”
“Morris! Blood, blood!”

The eyes of the two people looking at me widened.

“Do not worry. No big deal…”

Before I could finish my words, Emir grabbed my wrist.

“I need to call the senator.”

I shook my head.

“Can not be done. That I’m weak is information that no one should know. So it’s okay. Everyone is comfortable…”
“I will treat you.”

Seria said.

“You?”
“Try it.”

Seria’s eyes shone.
