Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 150
Episode 150 〈Training is like actual combat〉
3 weeks ago.
Seonghwangga’s library.
Ellis was studying magic as usual.
Physical training in the morning, magic research at lunch, image training in the afternoon, and martial arts training in the evening. After studying magic until dawn, I go to bed.
Her daily routine includes praying from time to time and learning about the palace affairs as a maid.
A very normal and peaceful daily pattern for her.
But these days, that pattern has been interrupted by someone.
“Ugh… Ellis, Ellis?”
A sigh that can be heard until the ground disappears.
I didn’t feel comfortable ignoring it.
Ellis had no choice but to close the book and look to the side.
“Why are you doing this, Hans?”
When Ellis asked Hans, he put his head on the desk and said,
“Does it make sense that it’s a new weapon? You have to roll as well as you can! How do I know what a cannon is? Of course, there was a record of developing it, but was it tens to hundreds of times more powerful than a musket? Do you think that makes sense!”
Ellis laughed awkwardly.
I feel like I hear that phrase dozens of times a day.
“They say they will give me a bonus if I succeed in this task, but if it is money, I will sit down after entering the palace. “I don’t have any desires anymore!”
Hans grumbled and complained.
“So you’re unemployed?”
Hans flinched.
As Allen opened the library door and entered, Hans let out a laugh.
“No way! “It’s a joke. If you’re a prince, you know it’s a joke…”
Allen pressed Hans’ head.
Ellis was internally relieved.
Now that Allen is here, Hans will leave the library.
Now you can concentrate and study.
“Ellis.”
Ellis looked up at Allen.
Allen smiled playfully.
“I need your help.”
“yes?”
“Preparing for a simple virtual training was a bit difficult.”
“Training is like real fighting, real fighting is like real fighting.”
Allen smiled brightly.
“Please help me.”
“Oh, and as a bonus.”
Allen waved the gourd in front of Ellis.
“Drink this too.”
**
Ellis shook her head as she recalled what happened three weeks ago.
The gourd was truly horrendous.
He even began to suspect that Allen had picked up old bad habits and was bullying him in a bad way.
but.
‘It’s not hard.’
There are no guidelines for resonating with sacred power.
This is the power of the elixir given to me three weeks ago.
After drinking it, I went into sexual power control and prayed.
Holy power was amplified and efficiency increased significantly.
These days, I’ve been feeling frustrated because my growth has been blocked, but one elixir has helped me break through to the point where it’s ridiculous.
An ordinary priest would rejoice, calling it a miracle from God, or it would be such an impressive moment that he would remember the grace for the rest of his life, but the 7th Prince didn’t seem to care about it.
‘He is truly someone whose true feelings are unknown.’
Ellis smiled as she looked at the masked man on the castle wall.
I heard screams on the way home, but I firmly believed that this was something the prince was doing for everyone.
‘Cheer up everyone.’
For Ellis, praying was the only support he could give the new soldiers.
“Aaaah!”
Edolf looked at his severed hand.
Blood spurts out.
The bone structure also grew between the forearms that had been cut off for a while.
Blood vessels and muscles wriggle over it like tentacles, and the skin covers it.
“What is this again?”
Edolf was rather frightened by the bizarre sight.
The arm that had disappeared suddenly sprouted.
I’ve only heard about this through rumors, but this is my first time experiencing it in person.
On the contrary, he even began to suspect that he had been panicking and had seen an illusion.
“I’m flying!”
one of the recruits shouted.
A large boulder was flying.
It was a siege catapult.
“Ah…”
The recruits were hit by it.
The body is torn apart and falls down the barrier.
Die.
If you get hit by something like that, you’re sure to die instantly!
“don’t worry. “It won’t die.”
Edolf looked away.
The extras put on masks and step back.
It seems as if he is smiling beneath a mask.
“Even if you want to die in front of the sanctuary, you can’t. “Yes, as long as the head doesn’t get completely crushed and fall off.”
“…”
It is said to be immortal.
It was said that powerful sacred power revives life in a contradictory way.
“As a soldier, defend your position and risk your life to protect the walls. That is your mission.”
At the extra’s words, Edolph Grill and Yuria look down the barrier.
Skeletons holding muskets pulled the trigger.
As the bullets rose and fell like meteors, the recruits became a hive.
It was a terrible sight . .
This is not training.
It is massacre.
“Everyone form a line!”
Harmon shouts.
Grill, who was acquainted with Harmon, gathers his courage and says to him,
“Wait a minute. I’ve never heard of such training!”
“We must not lose this battle to keep the grill in place.”
“You can’t lose? Who on earth are you going to fight!”
“Marquis Charlotte.”
“yes?”
Grill looked down the wall again with a puzzled look.
There was a white knight leading the white undead army.
Charlotte was leading the undead, wielding a sword.
“Why are you there?”
Grill was mesmerized.
“Uncle, now is not the time to say strange things! Run away!”
Yuria pulled on the hem of Grill’s clothes. As
Grill stumbled and fell, a large rock passed right next to his head.
Grill opened his mouth wide.
“…This is not the paladin I wanted.”
“Even if you don’t fight, the other person is fully willing to fight.”
Harmon glared at Charlotte and said,
“If you don’t resist, there will only be pain.”
The faces of the recruits turned pale at Harman’s words.
**
Charlotte also lacks actual combat experience.
What she lacks is the commanding ability to command the army.
– Occupy the Wall. That’s what you must do.
The 7th Prince She ordered the holy undead to follow her.
In fact, the holy undead moved at her word.
“Go forward and attack the castle with siege weapons.”
The undead run.
A ladder made of summoned bones spans the barrier.
“We must not let them climb!”
Harmon’s voice was heard.
Even in the panic, the new recruits began to respond little by little to Harmon’s command.
“Shoot the bow!”
The new recruits grabbed their bows and showed their upper bodies on the castle wall.
Charlotte caught sight of the new recruits and uttered one word:
“Survore!”
About 50 muskets that were waiting pulled their triggers at the same time. The
sound of loyalty sounded.
White smoke spread in all directions.
At the same time, the bodies of the new soldiers on the castle wall were pierced at the same time.
“Easy.”
Charlotte muttered unconsciously.
No matter how experienced Harmon is in command, the opponents are very weak new recruits.
There is no way they can stop Allen’s troops.
‘But it will be a good experience.’
Allen said that there was no need for soldiers who would die in vain. They
only needed strong priests who would protect their homeland and their families.
The idea was to uproot those who had simple desires for success and vain hopes.
The sacred undead were deliberately attacking vital points. They attacked evasively.
This was also Allen’s order, but Charlotte was determined to do it properly.
“Take control of the Mace unit’s walls.”
Following Charlotte’s orders, skeletons holding maces climbed the castle walls. They
swung their maces to disperse the new soldiers.
“Secure the shield soldier ladder.”
Skeletons holding shields overlapped to create a wall to protect the ladder.
“Pike the Spearman.”
Belatedly, the window wall came up and completely lined up the ranks.
The new recruits were startled and Harman touched his forehead.
“Damn, it’s late.”
He created a solid wall with his shield and threatened his opponent with his long spear blade.
“Forward!”
Under Charlotte’s command, the skeletons on the castle wall take a step forward.
The new soldiers had no choice but to retreat, and the distance gradually narrowed to the edge of the cliff.
Grill and Edolf Yuria’s faces turned pale.
When the blade of the spear reached between their eyes, they took a step back and their feet hit the air.
They fall from the top of the wall.
And then it hit the floor.
thud-!
It was a terrible pain, but I didn’t die.
Broken bones recover.
My head was hit and my dazed gaze turned to the wall.
The sacred undead began to disappear, scattering light.
Harmon pressed his temples and shouted as he looked at the 800 new recruits who had fallen below the wall.
“…Today’s training ends here.”
Edolf and Grill Yuria waited for Harman’s next words with trembling eyes.
“We will fight again tomorrow.”
This place was a constant loop hell.
**
About 200 people declared giving up.
There are about 600 people remaining.
They moved under Harmon’s command.
“The enemy is strong, but we have a geographical advantage. “Use it!”
Grill screamed at Harmon’s shout.
“You’re funny!”
Topographical advantage?
The opponent is an undead army that has no fear and is equipped with solid equipment.
Against these people, they are in a hurry to block them with swords with missing blades and shields with holes in the rusty axes.
Moreover, those undead are deliberately attacking while avoiding the head or heart.
It meant that they were watching.
“I will pass this test and stand proudly in front of my daughter!”
Harmon looked at the grill and smiled rather than frowned.
Although he has expressed his dissatisfaction, he is acting according to instructions.
“Take down the ladder!”
Grill hit the bone ladder with his axe.
As the ladder collapsed, the skeletons that were climbing up fell down the wall.
The musket fires at the grill.
The thing that blocked that grill was Edolf’s shield.
I blocked it with a large wooden shield, but a hole opened up and I was pushed back.
“Start shooting!”
At Harman’s words, Yuria picked up the crossbow.
Perhaps because of the weight, they tried their best to fit the skeleton.
Time passes. Repeated defensive battles continue.
The defense fails.
Fail, fail, fail, fail
once or twice a day.
They attack day and night without distinction.
And for the second week.
The fear of death gradually began to adjust.
Adaptability to weapons has also increased.
The aversion to the undead also disappeared.
And finally.
“The one-hour training ends. Congratulations on blocking it. “It is our victory.”
At Harmon’s words, the recruits sat down on the floor.
“I won….”
“I won!”
The defense of Suseongjeon was successful.
The new recruits laughed more in despair than joy.
Training is over.
I couldn’t remember how I held on.
I just moved instinctively.
To follow Harman’s orders and protect my comrades as much as possible.
I held on and held on.
As a result, I was able to last for an hour.
The extras felt satisfied seeing that.
The number is small.
But this is it.
Experienced soldiers can now become Holy Knights without any problems if they undergo systematic training.
“You are truly cruel.”
Harmon approached the extra.
He too sat down on the floor, probably exhausted.
“How many times do we have to repeat this?”
“All year long.”
“Are you planning on causing me to die from overwork?”
“don’t worry.”
Extra said, looking down at Harmon.
“There are many people who will suffer besides you.”
Ellis Hans Charlotte and extra Allen are also included.
There may be some rest, but you have no choice but to suffer for a year.
“I guess I’ll have to apply for vacation later.”
“Of course. “Please rest well for about a week after this training.”
The extra let out a happy voice as he looked at the soldiers spread out on the wall.
“Fortunately, no one died.”
“Isn’t this something the prince was concerned about?”
The extra threw the bottle at Harmon.
“Drink it too and share it with those who passed the final training. Since there is not much quantity, it is better to distribute it in small quantities.
“…I know it’s quite valuable, but is it okay to do this?”
“A soldier for his country. “What are we going to do with our support?”
The extra spoke to Harmon and showed his back.
“We will return tomorrow, but we will prepare the carriage. “Please rest well until you reach the imperial palace.”
“thank you.”
Harmon bowed his head.
With this, the successful results of the 1st class of the 10,000 Crusaders were released.
The number was 557.
Grill and Edolf Yuria got into the carriage.
When I looked back, I saw the next group of new soldiers marching in.
“…oh my god.”
Grill opened his mouth wide.
“They’re not from the second class, right?”
They are marching on paths that diverge from their own.
The expressions of the 2nd generation recruits brightened.
He was happy to see the first generation students heading to the royal capital in a carriage.
“The destination is right in front of you!”
“There’s a wall!”
“Is this the end of the march?”
“It looks like they give you a carriage ride when you go!”
Looking at the excited second-generation students, the first-generation students remained silent and meditated.
Charlotte looked at the second generation students from the wall.
Meanwhile, a paladin came up to her and whispered in her ear.
Charlotte approached the extra who was perched precariously on the barrier and said.
“Viscount Hans’ experiment was successful.”
At those words, the extra turned his head and looked at Charlotte.
“They say they made something called a cannon.”
**
“Do you think this makes sense?”
Aslan’s palace.
Leton, one of Aslan’s twelve lords, complained to Princess Tinya.
“No matter how much we are a dependent country, training in the border area? Does that make sense!”
The entire magnificent Daejeon Royal Palace is overgrown with tree roots and grass.
Amid the sound of running water, a chubby man shouted at Princess Tinya.
“They plan to invade us! Otherwise, there is no way something like this would happen…”
“Retton, please calm down.”
Tinya’s clear voice echoed throughout Daejeon.
Leton was startled by the words imbued with holy power, but did not back down.
Rather, he stepped forward.
A special force of a different race wearing an iron mask.
The Hashashins surrounded Tinya to protect her.
Reton stopped walking as he looked at the Hashashins.
“My lord, this is not something to be calm about.”
“What are you so anxious about?”
In response to the queen’s question, Letton said, breaking into a cold sweat.
“The influence of the Seonghwangbeopguk is growing stronger. We also started training the military. “We will definitely set out to conquer the continent,”
Leton said to Tinya in a strong tone.
“Aslan will be the first. They are sending an army in the name of hunting vampires…”
“There is no threat to Aslan. ”
“Why are you so sure?”
“Because I know His Majesty the Holy King well. If he had been ambitious, this country would have already been destroyed.”
“…the people are anxious.”
Princess Tinya blinked.
She stood up and walked away.
She headed towards the window on the left side of the main hall.
From the top of the palace, she looked at Aslan’s street.
“Anxiety?”
It is a lively city.
It is covered in green leaves and overflowing with the energy of life, and all the people are smiling brightly.
Tinya turned her gaze to look at Leton.
“It seems to me that he is much happier than when his father was around.”
“…We can’t communicate, so this is why elves…!”
When the Hasashins tried to engage in rude behavior, Tinya stopped them, saying,
“You will regret it.”
Leton turned around and left the palace.
‘Damn it! It’s not moving the way I want it to.’
Leton gritted his teeth.
The reason he made Tinya the emperor of Aslan was at the request of the Holy Emperor, but also because he was thought to be Rahamma’s bloodline and an easy puppet to handle. It was
expected that if she was used, all power would be in the hands of the princes. However,
the lower gods followed Tinya and all power was concentrated on her.
Some of the feudal lords also turned to her side and the people also supported it. As long as
the World Tree exists, Tinya’s authority will be maintained.
‘Dare to talk about a different race . Are elves and such trying to dominate humans?’
Other races are slaves. That is Aslan’s long-standing stereotype.
Aslan was openly dissatisfied with being toyed with by elves.
He arrived in his room and closed the door.
“One day, I will rip off that head, elf.” Bastard! The one who will become the king is me, Leton….”
“Then shouldn’t we do it that way?”
Leton’s body stiffened.
He broke out in a cold sweat and turned his gaze to the sofa in the corner of the room.
A man in his mid-to-late 50s was sitting there.
He had thick hair and a rough beard like a lion’s mane.
His entire body was covered with hard muscles like armor. There is.
A man with red fur and blood-red eyes.
“…Duke Duran.”
It was the ancestral vampire Duke Duran.
He said with a smile.
“I can listen to what you want to do?”
