Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 182
Episode 182. 〈 Sejakdeul 〉
In the forest near Chabert’s estate.
Grill and Edolf Yuria took their seats, putting on their robes.
I trudged through the grass.
When we left the Kingdom of Franz and came to the Kingdom of Rom, the snow changed to rain.
This is probably because the influence of the ice giant has disappeared.
Rather, it was hot and humid.
Thanks to this, it is inevitable that the discomfort index will rise.
“Was the weather this hot?”
Even as Grill said that, he looked at the Chabert estate in the forest in broad daylight.
Armed zombies are staggering around on the castle wall.
These people were soldiers of the Chabert territory.
As the vampires took over, they were probably killed and turned into undead.
In rare cases, lycans were also seen commanding them.
“Oh crazy. “They are lycans.”
Yuria expressed her dissatisfaction.
The reason was simple.
Because lycans are good at smelling humans.
“Everyone is covered in shit.”
That’s what Edolf said.
Edolf took out a bag of sewage from his arms and smeared it all over his body.
“Wow, the smell. “I’m not very squeamish.”
As Grill stared blankly at the bag of waste, water ‘rumbled’ down over his head.
Yuria was shaking the dirt off the head of the grill.
Yuria looked at Grill with cold-blooded eyes that seemed to mock her.
“Don’t complain, uncle. “If that’s the case, why did you apply?”
“Come on. Don’t do that.”
Grill threw a bag of dirt on Yuria’s face.
“The reason for applying is simple. I haven’t done anything for Charlotte.”
Instead of protecting her daughter in the village, Charlotte protected her.
She accepted her as her adoptive daughter, but what did she do for her?
Charlotte did her best and even sent money to her in the north.
Although she had nothing to do for her, her adopted daughter In Charlotte cared about her as if she really cared for her.
“So, I just want to be of some help.”
Grill said and threw the bag of dirt at Taltal Yuria.
“…I see. I understand.”
Yuria nodded and threw the dirt again.
The two were bickering.
Thanks to this, Edolf, who had been nervous, sighed in relief.
Others may not know, but it won’t be scary if you’re with a friend like this.
“Then get ready. Now. from.”
Their eyes turned to Chabert’s estate.
“…We are infiltrating.”
They grabbed the bag they were carrying on their backs.
The rune armor in the bag rattled and made a sound.
Edolf said,
“Infusion of holy power.”
They demonstrated their holy power.
“Unless His Majesty the Holy Emperor is nearby, Aztalun and Rune Armor Muskets cannot be used. Be aware of that.”
“Oh, that’s right. Be careful.”
Yuria frowned at Grill’s words and touched her forehead.
“I’m anxious.”
Edolf burst into laughter and said,
“Then let’s go.”
They moved their bodies. They
showed off their sexual power, albeit slightly, and ran quickly.
They did not make a sound.
They clung closely to the nearby wall, avoiding the eyes of the zombies and lycans on the outer wall.
Edolph’s eyes turned downward.
The underground waterway led to the city. It is a place connected to.
There were decomposed corpses floating around.
I looked at the foul-smelling drain mixed with blood and dipped myself in it.
I took out a sword from my bag, closed my eyes, and prayed.
“Gaia.”
Holy power is injected from the sword.
It is slowly pushed towards the iron grate of the sewer connected to the city center of Chabert.
The iron grate melts and is quietly cut.
Then Grill and Yuria pass through the cut iron grate.
They head toward the sewer.
Corpses floating down with sewage and blood. .
Grill, who was walking through the underground waterway, turned pale, Edolph blocked his nose, and Yuria had a familiar, calm expression on her face.
“Do you have a good stomach?”
To relieve the tension, Grill spoke to Yuria in an argumentative tone.
Yuria tightened her neck and said,
“I have a lot of experience with sewers.”
“…Gutter experience?”
“At that time, the Holy Knight appeared and saved me. He was like a warrior from a fairy tale.”
“I do not know what I mean.”
Grill looked as if the story had been omitted too much.
Just as Yuria was about to open her mouth,
Edolph covered his mouth with his finger.
“Shh, we’re going to the ground now.”
They looked ahead. They
saw a staircase going up to the ground.
As they went up the stairs, they lifted the board leading up to the sewer.
Through the gap, Edolph Grill Yuria could see the streets of the Chabert estate.
“Oh my god…!”
Grill opened his mouth wide.
The streets looked like hell.
There were rotting corpses on the streets.
Rats were devouring the corpses.
Zombies were staggering around.
“Huh, huh…!”
One of the survivors was seen running, gasping for breath.
His face was stained purple, as if he was sick.
He was running away from the zombies, barely holding any food in his hands.
“Haha! The livestock are so good at running.”
“Shall I eat it?”
“No, they are sick people. Even if they eat it, they just lose their appetite. Except.”
They are vampires.
Dressed in human form, they sneered and pointed their fingers at the fleeing survivors.
“They’re perfect for dog food.”
Lycans jumped out of the alley and attacked the survivor.
“Aaaah!”
It bites your limbs and drags you away.
The beast’s claws tore limbs and bit survivors, pinning them to the ground.
The vampires burst into laughter at that.
Edolf was shocked and couldn’t say anything.
“…damn you guys.”
Yuria cursed.
The three of them infiltrated the hellish Chabert Estate.
**
Refugee procession to Chabert Estate.
Refugees struggle to climb the mountain range.
There are dark clouds in the sky. Raindrops
fall as they climb the rugged mountain path. Every time, an element of danger arose.
Feet slipped in the mud, soil support was weakened by so many people, and accidents occurred.
I looked at the long line of refugees riding the skeletal horse.
“It’s getting bigger.”
Perhaps they came after hearing a rumor, but the refugee procession increased.
This would be difficult.
Rather, a refugee procession like this was more dangerous than safe.
Charlotte came up next to me and said,
“You won’t be able to last long.”
Even if you drink holy water, there are limits both physically and mentally. It
has been more than three weeks since we climbed the mountain range.
Because the procession is long, time is also delayed.
There are close to 10,000 refugees.
In my heart, I hope they remain in Franz Kingdom. I wanted it.
Because it might be safer there.
But anxiety has the habit of relying on others.
In fact, King Franz and Serran are also joining the ranks of refugees and heading to the prosperous kingdom.
The king of a country abandons his country and runs away. What will happen to the hearts of the people in the yard?
“Take a rest.”
The soldiers moved at my words.
Refugees were pitching tents one by one with an expression of life.
I shook off my rain-soaked hair. I
got off the skeletal horse and went into the tent the soldiers had made.
Charlotte was following behind, so I asked her. .
“What about the Sejaks?”
“Edolph Uría broke in, including the grill.”
…Are they a trustworthy party?
It may be a little uncomfortable, but they have a lot of training and practical experience, so it should be okay.
I quickly took off my wet clothes.
Charlotte stopped and looked back.
“Communication has become possible as we get closer to the Chabert Territory.” “The situation is being assessed.”
“How long will it take to locate the survivors there?”
“If a week is long, it’s about two weeks.”
My eyebrows naturally furrowed.
A week to two weeks.
It’s a very long time to be on the evacuation route.
If you do something wrong, there will be casualties.
Food is running out.
“What situation has been identified?”
I wore new clothes.
Shabby travel clothes.
Still, I put on my robe as a raincoat.
“They say it’s like hell.”
“hell?”
“The current Chabert territory….”
Charlotte reports.
It is said that corpses abound and survivors are confined to their homes.
A plague is spreading, and when vampires are bored, they hunt humans for fun.
“Unless a large amount of holy water is provided, it seems that the survivors there will not be able to survive.”
It is a place where there are not only rotten corpses but also zombies.
With miasma and pestilence rampant, it will be urgent to survive each day.
“Brother Marcus . silver?”
“It’s still unknown. It looks like they’re investigating. The whereabouts of Duke Agares are still unknown…”
He came out of the tent while listening to Charlotte’s report.
I looked up at the sky.
I tilted my head as the rain continued to fall.
“What is your opinion?”
“yes?”
Charlotte tilted her head.
“How can I get good results?”
“…We must occupy Chabert territory while making sacrifices.”
In other words, using heavenly forces.
This meant that the Chabert territory had to be occupied.
Sacrificing the survivors there saves more and more people.
Although he was cruel, he was wise.
That’s the most cost-free and surefire way.
That’s all I could think of too.
I wiped my face.
As I was thinking about it, I frowned when I heard the word “plague.”
“There might be another way.”
“You mean another way?”
“okay.”
I nodded.
Rain was streaming down my face.
The weather is uneasy.
Every drop is hot.
I caught the rain with my hands.
…It’s not normal rain.
It feels like heated water falling.
Winter is approaching and the weather is extremely hot.
“How can I contact Hans?”
Charlotte shook her head.
“It looks like they came all the way here after hearing the news. “But we can’t figure it out exactly.”
“We can communicate with Aztalune later.”
I climbed the hill.
And when I reached the top of the mountain range, I looked down.
The Chabert estate was visible in the distance.
I looked around.
There were no Jotuns visible near Shaber territory.
The information appears to be correct.
I was relieved that there was no threat from the Jotuns I was worried about.
“Charlotte.“
“Yes.”
Charlotte bowed her head.
“If there is an attack by Jotuns, can you stop it?”
“Of course…”
“Even without me.”
“…”
Charlotte looked at me for a while.
Her eyes turned to the Chabert estate.
It seems like she had some idea of what I was going to do.
“If only I could use rune armor. “We cannot protect all refugees, but we can at least buy time.”
I looked at the refugees.
It continued continuously.
They need a place where they can rest.
The Chabert territory will be of that size.
“I’m also going into Sejak.”
“…You mean His Majesty the Holy Emperor?”
“We can’t waste time. “We just need to find out the location of the survivors in Chabert’s territory and prepare a space to evacuate them.”
Protect survivors.
Inside, I am.
From the outside, it is easy for the Heavenly Army to attack and occupy the Chaber Territory.
“Are you thinking of going?”
“There is no more certain way.”
I took out the Bird’s Beak Mask from the item window.
“And the plague…”
I smiled at Charlotte.
“That’s my specialty too.”
I am a necromancer.
The plague can be dealt with.
“…”
Charlotte made a puzzled expression.
Her expression was funny, so she burst out laughing and said, putting the bird’s beak on her head.
“Please take care of the military and the people.”
Now, a plague will spread in Chabert territory.
A plague is like a blessing to humans and a curse to vampires.
**
The night deepens and
darkness falls on the world.
Romania, the capital of the Roman Kingdom.
The place was engulfed in flames.
Everywhere was covered in flames, and corpses were blackened and stuffed.
Giants walked through the city.
Their eyes gathered in one place as they sweated profusely in the scorching heat.
A red-dyed being moves in the pitch-black darkness.
Its entire body was made of solid rock, but flames rose from its cracked joints. A giant Jotun that moves
with a whip made of flame
.
The ground shakes every time the 30-meter-long body moves.
Wherever I stepped, the floor melted and flowed like lava.
As he radiates heat, the surroundings become even hotter.
“O king. “King of flames!”
A lycan hurriedly approached.
The flame giant lowered his head.
The Lycan lay flat at his feet.
“The ice giant has been defeated!”
The flame giant tilted his head.
“The guys who killed the ice giant are now in Chabert’s territory…!”
Before Lycan could finish speaking, he was startled and took a step back.
Because the flame giant approached him.
It’s just a matter of going nearby.
Lycan couldn’t breathe.
Lycan tried to retreat in pain, but the flame giant grabbed him with his fingers.
“Aaaahhh!”
The lycan’s entire body burned. The lycan howled in pain.
-Are you saying Hrimr is dead?
“I see…”
The Lycan disappears before he can finish his sentence.
The flame giant raises its head as it shakes off the Lycan that has been reduced to ashes.
-Hrimr is dead?
Who killed it…?
I don’t know.
Could it be that there is someone in this world who can stand against them?
-Let’s go and we will see with our own eyes who killed Hrimr!
The giants scream at him.
The flame giant took a step forward.
The destination is Chabert territory.
They started advancing to burn everything.
