Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 75
Episode 75 〈 Rescue 〉
=============
Oscar gulped down the water. I stuffed a large piece of meat into my mouth.
“Thank you, Archbishop.”
Oscar said, munching on his food.
Raphael heard the general story from Oscar.
It is said that he wandered the desert alone for four months.
When you were exhausted with nothing to drink or eat, your only hope was the monsters in the desert.
I killed a giant desert scorpion, ate its flesh, and annihilated the brown orcs that attacked, splitting the urinary tract to replenish moisture.
And I walked and walked and walked.
Occasionally, city and upper mercenaries were seen at monthly intervals, but contact with them was avoided as much as possible.
Aslan is at war.
Oscar also knew well how the people of a devastated country deteriorate.
A place filled with malice disguised as kindness.
That is the situation in a country that has become a battlefield.
It was possible to attack them, but it was difficult in my exhausted state. I considered the risk of missing the men running away on camels and the risk of being discovered by the enemy.
He crossed the desert to avoid people.
Soon, Aslan’s formation could be seen.
There, a deserter was captured and interrogated.
Aslan confessed that he had been repeatedly defeated due to his failure to prevent the invasion of the Holy Empire, and that he was now moving his army to attack Jebelum.
Oscar killed the deserter.
Then, they headed in the direction of the invasion of the Holy Emperor Kingdom that the deserter had mentioned.
“What about the princes?”
Oscar shook his head in response to Raphael’s question.
“7th prince, I don’t know. “Me and the traitor Rupel fell into the desert together.”
The problem is that the place where the warp fell is in a sandstorm.
It was also a double or triple tornado.
Thanks to this, Oscar and Rupel were thrown all over the place.
Oscar had to wander aimlessly in a sandstorm, unable to see or hear.
“In the case of the 3rd prince, there is a high possibility that he died buried in the sand. “I barely survived.”
No matter how much he was the Sword King, he could not easily defy Mother Nature.
As soon as he was full, he stood up.
Raphael stopped him.
“Wouldn’t it be better to rest a little more?”
“I must report to His Majesty the Holy Emperor.”
A 10-minute break between meals was enough.
Oscar took a step forward.
The direction he was heading to was the command tent.
Oscar, who entered the large tent, could see many people.
To the left and right are the Red Cross and Green Cross. In addition, the leaders of the dwarven corps, the Holy Cross, the Heavenly Army, and finally the White Cross were also seen.
The leaders and vice-leaders representing the greatest strength of the Holy Empire were gathered together.
And there is an old man sitting on a throne in front of them.
The ruler of the Holy Empire and the leader who personally founded and led the Golden Cross.
A magnificent Celtic Allfault wearing brilliant golden armor.
He was looking at Oscar indifferently.
“Report, Oscar.”
No greetings to see if I was okay.
There was no surprise or welcome behavior.
A completely indifferent attitude.
But rather, it put Oscar’s mind at ease.
Because they did not question his disloyalty for not being able to protect the prince and catch the traitor.
Yes, this person is an unwavering ruler.
There is nothing lacking as a sacred monarch who must be respected until death.
Oscar got down on one knee and bowed his head.
“Forgive my disloyalty. We were unable to capture the traitor Rupel Olfolth whom you commanded. We also failed to protect the noble saint, Allen Olfols.”
When the 7th Prince spoke, the head of the Hundred Cross Dynasty flinched.
Her eyes were shaking as she held the white holy sword in the ground with both hands.
Oscar smiled bitterly as he looked at Charlotte, who was still not good enough.
“What else did you see?”
Even though the whereabouts of the grandson were unknown, the success did not waver.
“I saw the army moving. This is the formation where King Rahamma is located.”
Oscar told what he had seen and heard.
“The place they are going to is called the slave city of Yebelium.”
“Is it the city’s guardian?”
“It’s an attack.”
“The reason is?”
“I don’t know, but there definitely seems to be ‘something’ there. “I think there is only one reason to attack their own city in the current turbulent times.”
Aslan’s capital is just around the corner. And yet Aslan’s army is pulled back?
As Oscar said, there was ‘something’.
And that something is definitely because of ‘Princes’.
However, there were also parts that deviated from common sense.
There would be no need to attack the city just to attack the ‘princes’.
There is something more than ‘Princes’.
A being that made even King Rahamma fear.
Seonghwang’s eyes narrowed.
“Oscar.”
“Your Majesty.”
“I will delegate all positions from now on.”
Kelt stood up and walked towards him,
“And accept my surrender.”
Oscar raised his head and looked at the Holy Emperor.
He was cold and cold-blooded.
It was horrifyingly creepy.
The Holy Emperor Kelt was shooting emotionless eyes. Looking at him, Oscar felt a chill.
“If you don’t surrender.”
Seonghwang spoke without hesitation.
“Kill them all.”
Oscar bowed his head at Kelt’s words.
“I will follow your orders.”

Crown Prince White of the Holy Emperor was waiting at the Mutu Stadium all night.
Rupel Allfaults has won nine times and will now be free if he wins his 10th fight. The plan was to quickly take him back to the Holy Kingdom.
But…
“Have things gone wrong?”
At the entrance to the Coliseum, White scratched his head.
He looked around.
Skeletons surround themselves with their eyes flashing.
After that, the necromancers camped.
The necromancers probably didn’t come to extort money, but…
“Were they caught?”
It seemed like he had discovered his identity.
Actually, I’ve been acting very conspicuous these days.
Aslan’s side must have already figured out his and Rupel’s locations.
The fact that Rupel didn’t come here means he’s already been caught.
‘So that means Rupel is in the fortress.’
At least Rupel will be safe.
Because it is a good hostage for negotiations with the Holy Emperor.
‘Then let’s try to rescue them. My son is also in danger, and more than anything… it wouldn’t be good if word spread throughout the continent that the Holy Empire was shaken by Aslan’s threats.’
Whether sooner or later, he was destined to become a prosperous emperor.
As the Holy Empire, said to be the strongest on the continent, it could not show the slightest submission to the likes of Aslan.
“I can’t help it.”
He cleared his throat as he looked at the necromancers and skeletons.
“Let’s go find Rupel.”
* *
There were two ways to save my reckless brother.
The first is to infiltrate the fortress.
Secretly climb up the castle wall, infiltrate, and search in all directions to find Rupel, who may be trapped somewhere.
Hmm, but that also takes too much time. Although there is an advantage to being able to move on quietly.
Even so, it would only take a few hours for it to be discovered.
The castle owner will surely notice that Rupel has disappeared and send a chaser.
Then the second method is simple.
There is no need to climb up the castle wall and infiltrate, nor do I need to find Rupel on my own.
We can save time, and Seongju won’t even think about chasing us.
Of course, the second method would be better.
The second method is…
“Stop!”
I arrived at the fortress on the hill.
I saw a wall that seemed to be about 10 meters high and soldiers guarding the gate.
They were different from necromancers.
They were regular soldiers.
They called me and stopped me.
I looked at the soldiers with a sullen expression. Then, after that, Looking at the castle with Aslan’s characteristics, he exclaimed,
“Wow, if it weren’t for war, I would have been able to see it leisurely.”
It’s a fortress that can accommodate at most 500 to 600 people.
Seeing my admiration, the soldiers seemed to have let down their guard and raised their spears.
“What are you, a traveler?”
“What brings you here? Do you have business to see the Lord of the castle?”
The soldiers looked at me here and there.
Their vigilance became even lower.
In fact, the clothes they were wearing were almost in tatters.
“Ah, it’s not that I have business to attend to the Lord of the castle, but that my brother is inside.”
“older brother?”
I smiled brightly and nodded,
“I’m being held as your slave.”
The soldiers’ guard was completely relaxed by my words.
They burst out laughing.
“What? Slaves?”
“Are you a commoner?”
I grinned and shook my head,
“No, I have quite a high status.”
The soldiers fell silent at those words. They
looked at each other as if they had made a mistake.
“Where are you from, a nobleman?”
I looked at them and said accurately,
“This is Allen Allfols, the 7th prince of the Seonghwang family.”
“…”
The soldiers blinked.
For a while, they started laughing.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“hey! Come here. “Some crazy guy has arrived!”
As the soldiers shouted, even those on the walls looked down at me.
“This seemingly normal guy has gone crazy! He said he was a member of the royal family. “They say he’s the 7th prince of the Seonghwang family?”
“The world is going crazy. Is even such a young child acting like a clown?”
One of the soldiers rummaged through his chest, took out a
fairy tale and threw it at me. I glanced at the soldiers.
“If you’re going to be a clown, make it more interesting. I was just bored.”
Seeing that, I shook my head as if I was sad.
“It’s sad. Even if I tell you the truth, they don’t believe me. Besides, you’re acting like a clown? That’s an insult to the royal family.”
“Oh! Is it like a situational comedy? Do you have any tricks other than that? Like juggling or riding a ball.”
“skill?”
The soldiers looked at me with interest.
I looked at them and shrugged my shoulders.
“Well, I don’t have any special skills, but um, I know how to do some magic.”
“Magic?”
“Yes, I will save you and show off my new product.”
“new product?”
“This is a magic trick that will surprise even Joker, so focus!”
“…What is magic?”
The soldiers showed interest.
They were bored with standing guard, so they seemed to be curious.
The soldiers on the castle gate walls also focused their attention on me.
They looked at each other and then grinned at me.
They treated me as a simple clown. That’s right.
A
clown.
However, a clown who brings surprise and fear rather than laughter.
I pointed behind me.
“What’s behind me?”
“What do you have?”
The soldiers raised their torches.
The dark space became bright, but nothing was visible.
“There’s nothing?”
“Yes, there’s nothing, right? Then…”
I spread my hands out like a magician on stage and
moved my fingers gently. The soldiers’ eyes turned to my fingertips.
While they are distracted, I clap my hands and say ‘clap!’ I hit it.
And then it opened wide.
“Ta-da~!”
For a moment, the soldiers’ gaze moved away from my fingertips.
Their faces hardened as they looked at me, or more accurately, at the ‘beings’ behind me.
I turned my head and looked back.
“Oh my goodness! “The undead suddenly appear in an empty space!”
The putrid flesh has hardened.
About 100 ‘mummies’ wearing white masks and white armor. They were standing with their heads bowed, holding curved swords.
I curled up the corner of my mouth.
Then he looked at the soldiers and raised his voice.
“Yes, this is about 100 fresh ‘Mummy’ that I got some time ago!”
A being higher than a skeleton.
This is a mummy army that uses a variety of weapons and can even use low-level magic.
“and.”
I pointed my finger at the soldiers.
“For insulting the royal family.”
Soon, he pointed his raised thumb downward.
“Everyone is sentenced to death.”
The soldiers were startled and took a step back.
At that time, a mummy quickly burrowed into the arms of the soldiers.
He lifted the curved sword he held in both hands and brought it down violently.
With a flash of light, fresh blood appeared between the soldiers’ eyebrows.
“uh? uh?”
And then the eyes rolled over and the two soldiers fell down, spouting blood.
The mummies all raised their heads and their eyes flashed.
“That enemy?”
“intruder…!”
The mummies jumped up.
He swung the curved sword in both hands faster and more nimbly than the skeletons.
The soldiers guarding the castle gate died, sprinkling blood.
Some of the mummies raised their heads.
I rolled my eyes between the bandages and the masked face.
“Woe to you…!”
The soldiers on the castle wall were embarrassed and drew their bowstrings.
The mummies bowed their backs. And ran.
He put his hand through the gap in the castle wall and quickly climbed up the wall.
Dozens of mummies broke through the 10m wall with light movements. The soldiers on the wall were slaughtered by them in an instant. He killed the soldier holding the bow by stabbing him with a curved sword, took the bow, and shot and killed the other soldier with a fast-moving arrow.
I summoned dwarven armor and muskets.
He was wearing white armor from head to toe and was holding a musket.
“Gaia-.”
I breathed into the musket with a bullet-type function and looked at the tightly closed castle gate.
“It’s him. “That guy is a necromancer!”
“Kill him!”
The soldiers on the wall shouted at me.
But no one could touch me.
“Shoot your bow!”
An arrow flew, but the mummies quickly intercepted me.
They raised their shields with flexible movements and blocked arrows.
Crouching and holding a shield, he stood and held a shield. Stepping on those mummies, a solid wall was built layer by layer.
A protective wall made without a single error by stacking shields in layers. A round shield protected me.
“Necromancer!”
A soldier waiting on the castle wall shouted. The necromancer who belatedly climbed up the castle wall chanted magic while being escorted.
A huge flame magic spewed out, repelling the mummies that had created a shield wall.
But I was there and ignored them.
It is an armor with magic resistance.
It is further strengthened with magic and cannot cause damage unless it is a mid-to-high level magic.
[Use sacred energy.]
[Temporarily advance the equipment.]
[Advance the equipment and grant the ‘Shot Bullet’ skill.]
I looked at the castle gate.
Then he aimed the gun at the castle gate and shot.
A pounding sound was heard.
At the same time, dozens of Christmas balls pierced through the darkness and crashed into the castle gate.
The castle gate was literally penetrated.
When the soldiers looked at the gate in shock, an explosion had already occurred.
Fragments of the castle gate flew around.
A soldier whose head was pierced by a piece of shrapnel died instantly, and the soldiers whose bodies were pierced screamed.
“Stop it! “Don’t let them invade!”
A bell rang in the castle.
Even the sleeping soldiers woke up and gathered at the opened castle gate.
The necromancers also summoned skeletons and surrounded the castle gate.
I just walked towards the gate.
“Whoa…”
A breath of holy power blew out from between the helmets.
He wore heavy armor all over his body and held a musket in his right hand and a sturdy shield in his left hand.
The ancient guardians, Mummy, followed behind me.
The face of the commander who was leading from the front hardened.
“White armor and muskets. And…”
I muttered with an expression of astonishment in my eyes as I looked at the white mummy army that followed me in the lead.
“Holy Undead.”
The necromancer’s face turned pale in fear.
Well, it was natural.
Hans said.
It is said that there is a ‘ghost story’ going around in Aslan.
That is…
“Angel…!”
Rumors about me.
This is the second method.
Capturing the castle.
If there is a castle lord who knows our identity, just kill him.
Even if there is a pursuer, it will take a considerable amount of time to resolve the death of the castle lord.
I said, tilting my head.
“Find your brother.”
The mummies bowed their heads.
“And wipe them all out.”
In the darkness, the sacred undead army ran out, scattering eye lights.
