Chapter 523 – 42. Dezac Empire – General Escalor Destrov (6)

What is the difference between a master and a person who has reached a higher level?

Again. Again. Again.

“Whoa. It’s been a while since I’ve relaxed.”

The commander of the knights swallowed dryly at the sight of him showing it without realizing it.

‘Is this really a state that can be reached with human power?’

I felt that the general was a monster several times.

From rumors that had been heard at first glance.

At a demonstration that was shown intermittently.

Even while walking together to this place.

However, the military action that the general showed now made me remember all of that anew.

Sky outside the sky.

Trustworthy, but scary.

If Grand General Escalor rebels against her empire her, she will find no one or nothing to stop her.

The captain of the knights recalled the woman she had just been before because of her wonderfulness her.

Every time the sword was swung, the limbs of the Chimera monster were torn apart.

It’s not cut

Literally torn apart.

‘Can I really call that swordsmanship?’

The general holds a sword, but he does not practice swordsmanship.

He just chose the sword as a means to express his power.

Without a doubt, even punching and kicking would have shattered the chimera monster.

“… You worked hard, yes.”

The captain of the knights approached her covered in her monster’s filthy blood.

With respect that comes from the heart much more than before.

Escalor nodded his head even though he put on a no-nonsense expression.

“You guys have been through a lot.”

“…”

The knight commander laughed bitterly.

As she said

The damage is greater than expected.

About 300 of the 2,000 punitive forces were killed and 200 were seriously injured.

It’s a great save for dealing with many stronger Chimera monsters, but the problem is that most of the 500 casualties are knights and wizards. High-level personnel, more than elite soldiers, suffered considerable damage.

And the reason why the damage was bigger than expected is simple.

“I’m sorry. I played with my blood boiling without knowing.”

“…No.”

Literally Escalor played.

He enjoyed the battle by slashing the Chimera monster, which could be killed in one shot, several times.

Originally, the general should have dealt with at least a thousand of them.

Of course, in the end, she killed well over a thousand chimeras, but it took some time.

It was a wrong move for a high-ranking general, commanding tens of thousands of troops in the military.

But no one was able to point it out.

Probably because the emperor, who is the only one, rarely comes out of the imperial castle.

‘I wonder if she, this woman, has a leash.’

The knight commander, famous for his loyalty, felt uneasy on the inside, but never showed it.

“Whoa. The day was going to come when I would unleash this seething instinct, but something unexpected happened.”

“……? …Is that so.”

These words were incomprehensible to the knight commander who did not know about the invasion operation of the Three-Area Alliance.

However, since it is impossible to tell the truth, Escalor sneered lightly.

More damage was caused by her, but she didn’t care much.

Even if they are high-level personnel, they end up belonging to something other than the military.

As a general, Escalor was thoroughly concerned only with the safety of the elite soldiers.

If the knight commander knew, I would be angry enough to beat myself in the chest, but of course that’s not the case.

“Then I’d like to ask you to take care of it.”

“The general is…”

“It’s annoying, but I have to go report it.”

“…Ah.”

Report.

Another name for the military is the Ministry of War.

And the general’s administrative position is that of the Minister of War.

In other words, there is of course only one person she, her ministering her, will go to report to directly.

“Lung, are you going to report to the emperor? If so, after it’s settled…”

“Ah, that will be done by others. For example, you. I’ll report on the subjugation, but the main thing is the other side.”

“Is that so… I understand, sir. Take a look.”

Escalor didn’t answer, shook his hand lightly and walked slowly out of the tunnel.

Thousands of her troops her, who witnessed her formidable deeds her firsthand, bowed deeply to greet her as she passed by, including knights, wizards and soldiers. It was a mixture of respect, awe, and gratitude.

“…”

Again. Again. Again.

Leisurely step.

When the punitive force was so far away that they could not be seen, she frowned and clicked her tongue.

“Tsk.”

‘The combustion is less.’

It was a very disappointing situation.

Normally, this would have been enough and overflowed.

However, she came to the point where her whole body’s fighting spirit was expressed outside her, and then she went back to inaction. The long-awaited real war. Compared to that, what kind of battle can cool the blood? Of course that is impossible.

‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have rather just jumped in.’

She thought for a moment, but then her wry smile she took its place.

It is nonsense.

If she had then told her men that she would continue the war, she would probably have complied.

But without support she cannot sustain the war.

No matter how strong she is, there are limits.

Especially since it’s her nature to care about her subordinates her.

‘Well, even if it’s not a support issue…. She must have been brought to the emperor right away.’

The knight commander was wary and worried about the case.

But it was a fleeting worry.

The emperor already had Escalor’s leash in his hand.

As such, it is next to impossible for her to rebel against her her empire her.

Even if that’s not the case, Escalor may not like the emperor, but he doesn’t hate it either.

He is, in a sense, her benefactor to her to her, and he also continues to provide for her struggles as she likes them.

Upon arriving at the imperial castle, the general passed through the road with almost a free pass and arrived in front of the emperor.

“God Escalor Destrop, I report back to His Majesty the Great Emperor.”

“How did the subjugation go?”

“You have killed all the Chimera monsters sleeping in the cavity in the tunnel. Details will be reported later by the Knight Commander and the 3 Elders.”

“I see. Good job.”

“It was nothing.”

“…”

“…”

The Emperor shook her head, seeing her standing stiffly with her back straight in front of her own.

The sharpest and most dangerous knife the Empire, no, owns.

Still, its power is outstanding.

There is even a means to reliably control this dangerous knife.

A bad personality is a factor that can be tolerated enough.

“Okay, so now we have to talk about something important.”

“Your Majesty, do as you please.”

“Tsk. Okay. I’ll be straight. War is postponed indefinitely.”

At the emperor’s words, the general’s forehead twitched.

This was really unexpected.

It’s an indefinite postponement.

“How come. Even though the entire army has been bitten, it will be quick to prepare again. Considering the amount of supplies consumed, it can be reorganized in a month.”

“I know that too.”

“Then, shouldn’t we be more prepared? The 3rd Alliance is in chaos right now, but we don’t know when it will calm down. She is the woman who currently serves as the head of the Provisional Council in the capital. It is said that she is not an ordinary skill.”

“I said I knew.”

“But why…!”

Escalor’s voice grew higher and higher.

At first glance, it may sound like anger.

In contrast, the emperor’s voice was feminine.

“Escalor.”

“…Tell me, Your Majesty.”

“War is not easy. It requires a lot of preparation. War can only begin when everything is perfectly prepared.”

“…”

The emperor was not wrong.

However, the general could guess why he was postponing the war.

Fear that there might be a problem with the system.

It’s not that I don’t understand, but Escalor found the Emperor’s attitude very funny.

‘Even though I’m cautious, I’m not too careful.’

It would be the right attitude for a ruler and politician who rules a country.

But is he really right as a conquering monarch with grand ambitions to unify the continent by force?

Escalor was shallow in his learning, but I could unequivocally say otherwise.

So, that day was a very precious day.

The moment when the emperor, who had been careful and careful, finally finished preparing and was convinced of war.

‘As this man worries, it must be true that someone exists. To strike an incident at such an absurd timing. It’s impossible unless you’re in close proximity to the empire and the ecliptic.’

But that is no reason to postpone the war.

The perpetrators of the raid will surely want it.

“… Your expression is unpleasant.”

The emperor, staring at the general’s face his, shook his hand.

“Ugh… Cuuuuu…”

At the same time, Escalor groaned in pain as he grabbed his head.

It was very strange to see a monster kneeling down that seemed to be fine even if stabbed with an aura.

“Don’t forget. Your life is in my hands.”

“Kuh. Kuhuhh. I forgot,hehe… Riga…!”

“Hehe. It’s amazing that you can shout even at this moment.”

The Emperor waved his hand once more, and the pain in Escalor’s head dissipated.

A leash possessed by the emperor that can even take one’s life.

It was this pain that even a general could not understand.

‘Shit. It’s been a while.’

She grumbled and pulled herself up.

The pain still remains, but it is tolerable.

“I’ll say it again. The war is postponed.”

“… How long do you plan on acting?”

“Until I’m sure the islands are clean. You know what I mean.”

“Huh, okay. I’ll work with the intelligence department to clean up the neighborhood.”

“Yeah, I’m glad you got the hang of it.”

“…”

“And I have one more thing to do.”

“… Tell me.”

“Magic Tower. His secret laboratory remains in the Imperial Magic Tower as well. Take a look there with the Intelligence Department. It’s unlikely that will ever happen, but if the owner of the Magic Tower shows any signs of suspicion, remove it immediately. .. No, this isn’t it. Take a look first. To do just that.”

“Okay, Peha. Then, is there anything else you want to say?”

“Keuhehe. You don’t want to stay long, do you?”

“……No.”

“Okay. Get out of here.”

Escalor bowed his head deeply.

I really don’t like the leash, but I have no desire to find out about it.

It’s good if you can get away with it, or not. At least the emperor was as certain as a carrot.

‘Flaw. Still… I wish there was something new. It’s like a monster with great power hiding its identity that makes my heart pound….’

The general thought so as he left his office and headed for the intelligence department.
