Chapter 84.1: Resumption of War

Chapter 84.1: Resumption of War

Due to the effect of the opened Hotbed of Corruption and Delusion, another imperial city was destroyed.

Freeds mysterious actions are no longer harmful after that.

If things went according to his plan, Freed should have gotten two new demon kings core.

I wonder if hes three times more powerful.

However, Oracle-chan said that if he really did that, he would only die by being swallowed up by the power of the demon kings core.

Finally, I heard the news about the resumption of war.

From the imperial capital of Northmark, the Silesie subjugation army, led by Crown Prince Freed himself, began to march.

However, what was puzzling was that the empire now claimed that Count Brynie was not dead and announced that they would continue the war of intervention.

We had thought that they were going to use other noble families as their banner and we had taken measures against them but to use a dead count as their banner was beyond our expectations.

The count is dead. I killed him myself. I beheaded him and displayed his head for the City of Lauren to see.

Why did the empire invade using such inexplicable insistence?

Was it because of the failure of Brynie? Or did they learn their lesson that local nobles of Silesie tend to do whatever they want and are a bad banner?

It is true that a silent dead man might be better to use as a banner.

It is also possible that the cause no longer matters when it comes to this decisive battle.

There was one more thing that surprised us.

The empire spearheaded 50000 troops from the imperial capital and had another 20000 troops at the rear. 70000 troops passed through the City of Lanct, crossed the border, and attacked the territory of the Lauren Knights.

A war using an army as big as 70000 at once was unprecedented even in the history of Eurasia continent.

It could be said that this was the very limit of the Germania Empires mobilization power.

At the main camp in the City of Spike, Lyle-sensei is staring at the strategic map and is astonished.

Ive been planning and preparing for this day for a long time. The enemy is about 30000 more than expected. However, thinking about it, the enemy has no choice but to attack swiftly with large numbers.

Sensei began to rework the plan after unfolding the strategy map.

What do you think? Do you think we should use this?

That is something.I guess we should try anything.

Sensei smiled thinly but with a sad expression.

If sensei says its okay, then I have nothing to worry about.

Then, lets go with this. Freed will be coming like this so Im sure hell try to use the miasma hole of doom.

Takeru-donos point is correct. I have a countermeasure for that so Ill have you do it when the time comes.

I think sensei had figured it all out.

Looking at senseis eyes, it looks like everything is still under control. Theres no need to panic yet.

Then, lets get it on!

Takeru-dono.

When I was about to go to the front line with Oracle, sensei stopped me.

What is it, sensei?

No.its nothing much. Since youre going to the front line, Ill give you this.

Sensei handed me a gun. The gun was larger and heavier than a flintlock.

Given its shake, it looks like a sophisticated enfield rifle(with an awkward auxiliary magic tool and a retrofit magazine).

It has been finally completed, this magic rifle. There are twelve bullets in the magazine and if you pull the lever, they will load one after another.

Oh, amazing. This totally looks like a rifle.
