Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 79
Episode 79 〈 Hashashin and King Rahamma 〉
======================
Long ago, Rahamma called a magician with magical powers.
Simple fun. It was nothing more than entertainment to forget the boredom.
Rahamma asked the shaman, who was nothing more than a slave.
He told him to predict Aslan’s future while he was on the throne.
Then the shaman said happily.
-Aslan will be saved!
Rahamma looked surprised at those words.
At first, I thought he had made up a believable story to please himself.
But no.
The shaman was laughing.
-The land of death will disappear. Green fields will spread across Aslan!
The shaman was excited.
He trembled and spoke passionately to King Rahamma with an expression filled with joy.
-The sandstorm will disappear, and the murderous sunlight and cold-blooded night wind will also disappear. You will enjoy the great outdoors with warm sunlight and cool night breezes.
The eyes of Rahamma, who was sitting on the throne, widened. Before he knew it, he was listening and showing interest.
The shaman spoke with exaggerated gestures, as if telling a fairy tale to a child.
-We will transform the land of death, which even previous kings could not solve, into a bluer color more blessed than any other land! Yes, you will become the chosen land!
Rahamma felt good at the shaman’s words that seemed to praise him.
At that time, a war of conquest was being planned.
The goal is a prosperous kingdom. I wanted to take control of that country’s territory.
Talks with the ‘3rd Prince’ have already been concluded through negotiations.
It was top secret, but it seems the shaman guessed it by accident.
Rahamma smiled.
It was good entertainment.
It would be okay to keep this slave by his side and have him be his clown for the rest of his life.
Rahamma said, resting his chin.
-Then I will be recorded as the greatest conqueror in history. Isn’t it?
The shaman was startled by those words and tilted his head.
said the shaman.
‘What does that mean?’
-You will be called the worst king in history.
-Countless cities will be burned by you. Also, many people will die. Your bravery will lead Aslan to the brink of destruction.
Rahamma’s face hardened.
The shaman was laughing at the king without any fear.
-But it is true that you also contributed to Aslan’s history. Because you brought an ‘angel’ here. Also, she gave birth to a child chosen by an angel.
The shaman said with an ecstatic expression.
The slave with the magic of [Prophecy] cheered happily.
-Thanks to you, Aslan will be saved! The chosen princess along with the holy angel will save Aslan. Foolish king! This is a really good job. haha!
King Rahamma stood up from the throne. Then he grabbed the shaman’s neck and lifted him up.
-It looks like you were a spy for the Holy Emperor.
Aslan could no longer hear the shaman’s nonsense.
It could have been interpreted to mean that Aslan’s land was handed over to the Holy Emperor.
Rahamma became furious and broke the sorcerer’s neck, killing him.
At that time, the shaman with his neck broken was hanging and muttering.
-Ah, this is a very holy legion.
Rahamma looked at the shaman in surprise.
-Wearing white armor, white light flashes inside the helmet.
The shaman’s pupils had turned white.
-They crawled out of the ground.
He had an expression of ecstasy rather than pain.
-Are they dead? No, those who saw it would not think they were dead.
-They are guardians. They are saviors summoned by angels!
-Look! That sacred white armor!
-Look! That sacred hymn!
-He is loved by the gods.
-A stranger invited into this world.
-He is the one who will save the world…!
Rahamma ripped out the sorcerer’s head.
That mouth, which had been muttering even in death, finally stopped.
Cold sweat flowed down my face.
This is because it goes beyond the limits of what an ordinary slave would say.
He tried to calm his mind and dismissed it as the nonsense of a madman.
That he would be nothing more than a fanatic of the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom, not the divine power of the [Prophecy]. King Rahamma thought so.
Until I saw the current scene.
Rahamma was up on the outer wall.
Then I took a deep breath and watched the scene unfold before me.
The white army the shaman spoke of.
An undead army of up to 1,000 people.
There were people lined up radiating white holy power.
Eyes flashing,
they form a systematically organized line, raise their shields and raise their spears.
He screams while holding a sword and a mace.
Skeleton horses were lined up among the infantry, and tanks were placed in front of them.
Boom boom!
The ground is shaking.
The Golem, an ancient guardian, raised its huge body.
Golems up to level 10. He held a greatsword in both hands and his only eye burned red.
There is not a single error.
It was different from the squeaky dolls.
They all moved elaborately as if they had one will.
In front of the fierce undead army, a boy was wearing a mountain goat’s skull.
I summoned a skeleton horse and climbed on top of it.
The shaman was right.
That being was a foreign being.
thud! thud! thud!
The undead soldiers slammed the weapons they were holding on the ground.
Open your mouth and scream.
As the shouts of the dead rang out, Aslan’s army became stiff.
I was sweating with a nervous face.
My breathing became difficult and my legs were shaking.
The boy was speechless.
He simply raised his index finger and pointed at Aslan.
At that time, all sounds stopped.
The quiet silence instilled fear in Aslan’s army.
The undead army raised its head.
He took a step forward with his eyes shining.
The advance of the Holy Legion has begun.
“…!”
Only then did Aslan come to his senses.
“Everyone prepare for battle!”
“Call for support! “Contact the main unit!”
A signal was raised from the Aslan formation to inform the main camp.
The commander quickly rolled his eyes.
The undead army slowly approaches.
Everyone was walking, but tanks and cavalry were different.
The Skeleton Horse shook its head.
He glares with his eyes flashing. The steps gradually become faster.
Tu-tuk- Tu-duk, tu-duk, tu-duk, tu-duk, tu-duk, tu-duk!
Increase your speed.
He roughly exhaled breath containing holy power.
Skeletons on the chariot waved whips in the air and prepared spears and bows.
—Kyaaaaaaaaa!
They roared until their jaws dropped.
It was a shout as a vanguard.
“Tank troops and cavalry!”
“Build a pike pike wall!”
A long spear was raised in the Aslan formation.
Aslan’s soldiers worked in pairs and held out spears that were up to 3 meters long.
“Necromancers should apply too! Reduce your speed as much as possible!”
The necromancers chanted spells and raised the skeletons.
The skeletons screamed and ran forward.
This was to slow down the speed of the tanks and cavalry even a little.
“Fire the archers! Siege corps. “Aim for the golem!”
Aslan’s army roared.
Bows and crossbows were placed behind the pikemen.
The prepared catapult was fired along with the archers.
The ballista fired a wedge.
—Coooooo!
Huge boulders destroyed the sacred chariot and crushed the horsemen.
The ballista’s spikes pierced through the cavalry.
The cavalry and tanks narrowly avoided such attacks by turning.
The eyes flashed.
Skeletons summoned by necromancers were placed before my eyes like obstacles.
The skeleton horses are touring. The cavalrymen lowered their waists and aimed their lances.
The necromancer’s skeletons were not even an obstacle.
Trampled and torn down.
Pieces of bone fell off after being hit by a horse’s hoof.
Aslan’s army’s arrows and bolts flew.
The divine crashed into the undead’s thick armor.
It bounced off with sparks flying.
Among them, there was a case where a bolt got stuck in the wheel of a chariot and an arrow got stuck between the barding of a skeleton horse, causing the horse to fall.
But it doesn’t have much effect.
The skeletons that had fallen from their horses rolled on the ground, then stood up and started running.
The number did not decrease.
The ground was shaking and tanks and cavalry were coming through the sandstorm.
There is no hesitation even after being bombarded with catapults, ballista bows, and crossbows.
Rather than decreasing speed, it becomes faster.
Grand. It seems like a huge wave is coming!
The pikemen felt that way.
It was natural.
They are an undead army.
They are an immortal army that transcends fear and never dies.
Monsters advancing, scattering sacred energy!
Pikemen in a team of two.
The assistant gunners shouted to the gunners.
“Fight against death!”
“To the glory of Aslan!”
“Oh oh oh oh oh!”
The pike soldiers opened their eyes through the hoods they wore to block the sandstorm. They
let out screams and cheers. Opening their bloodshot eyes,
they grabbed their spears with all their might with trembling hands.
They wanted the spears to block the cavalry.
Because that was the only way to survive!
They realized that if they retreated, they would die.
They stepped with all their might and braced their backs.
The moment the chariots and cavalry got closer, they closed their eyes. I quickly reeled it in.
Kwajik!
The 3-meter long spear failed to pierce the undead’s armor.
Rather, the spear broke apart.
At the same time, the chariot and cavalry collided with the pike troopers.
An explosive sound rang out.
Aslan’s pike troopers bounced and flew everywhere. Those in the front
were crushed by the horses’ hooves, and those on the left and right were ground up by the hooks attached to the wheels of the chariot.
“Infantry units charge!”
“Summon the golem seen by the necromancers!”
“Supplying slaves…!”
The necromancers gathered together and chanted spells. Slaves were taken to them.
The necromancers gathered magical power over the lives of the slaves.
Skeletons were summoned and they united into one.
A golem made of bone that was up to 3 meters tall was created and came running. I stopped the tank.
Boom!
The bone golem blocked the four skeletal horses. The part I was stepping on was pushed back little by little, but I was able to slow down.
Thanks to this, the tank flipped over.
When the bone golem took effect, Aslan’s The soldiers’ faces brightened for a moment.
But it didn’t last long.
A huge megalithic statue.
A 5m tall Cyclops golem walked up.
The great swords they held swept away the bone golem and all the soldiers nearby.
Steel pieces were scattered everywhere. A person floated in the air like a doll.
The necromancers’ faces turned pale.
A megalithic statue was running towards them.
“Demon magic attack!”
“What are siege engines doing? Stop that!”
They memorized attack magic.
A spark erupted and hit the megalithic statue.
He aimed and fired a ballista from the surrounding area.
Boom boom!
The entire body was ablaze with flames, and the megalithic statue flinched as if hit by the spikes of the ballista.
But that was it.
Cyclops’ eyes glowed and rays of light emitted.
“Don’t run away…!”
The necromancers who tried to escape were hit by petrification magic and turned into stone, and even the surrounding siege weapons hardened as if they had been covered with concrete.
“It’s hot! “Please save me!”
The necromancer, whose legs were partially petrified, screamed.
I raised my head in pain as my flesh burned, but was trampled by the feet of a megalithic statue.
When the giant stone statue swung the great sword it was holding, a wind of dust rose up as if it were exploding.
Dozens of Aslan soldiers appeared in the air.
“Wait a minute, you can’t stop something like that!”
“Everyone form your formation and disperse!”
“Get your spears and chains ready!”
Aslan’s soldiers moved.
I threw the chain at the geosaksang, but it was a foolish act.
Rather, the megalithic statue holding the chain pulled them together.
Dozens of people were caught in chains, floated in the air, and were stamped on the ground, killing them instantly.
—Whew! Phew! Phew!
The mummies ran out quickly.
They penetrated into the center of Aslan’s army.
It is a nimble and flexible movement.
He swung the curved sword as if he was dancing with movements full of virtuosity.
Every time this happened, the limbs of Aslan’s soldiers were cut off and the ground was stained with blood.
Aslan’s army was not left alone.
They also brought down the dead.
When bone golems blocked cavalry and tanks, they knocked the dead on them off their horses and cut them to pieces.
A melee ensued with the oncoming skeleton army.
The dead were persistent.
If an arm is cut off, it bites it with its mouth, and if a leg is cut off, it rushes to kill the other person, even if it means crawling.
The numbers were clearly decreasing.
“The number is not decreasing!”
There was no feeling of shrinkage.
Aslan’s formation collapsed.
The soldiers were filled with fear and their morale was broken.
Very crowded situation. Even morale is broken.
It has reached a point where command is no longer possible.
The commander looked ahead.
Thump thump thump!
About 30 bone golems up to 3 meters tall were seen.
He was completely covered in plate armor from head to toe.
Nevertheless, he carries a heavy shield in his left hand and a large mace in his right.
A heavy armored infantry unit was escorting the boy and the carriage.
The commander swallowed dry saliva.
‘That thing can’t be penetrated.’
How can you kill a being beyond a solid iron wall?
‘I need help. What about the Hashashins?’
The commander looked away.
The Hasashins at the outer gate were not taking any action.
With their magic power and skills, they should have been able to break through the bone golems and capture the enemy general, but they were not able to do so.
‘Are you abandoning us?’
Aslan’s commander shouted.
“Prepare for a large-scale magic spell. Wait until the main force led by the feudal lords arrives…!”
“It’s dangerous!”
Hearing someone shout, the commander looked up at the sky.
Arrows of pure white light were falling.
It is an arrow filled with holy power.
Banshees in the shape of women were shooting arrows.
“Bar shield!”
The soldiers carried wooden and steel shields.
Several shields surrounded the commander.
The shield and arrow collided.
The wooden shield was easily pierced.
The steel shield barely blocks it with sparks flying.
The commander screamed.
This is because the people around them turned into a beehive and died from the arrows flying like a barrage of bullets.
“Retreat…”
The commander’s small voice came out.
His voice did not echo through the roar of the battlefield.
Aslan’s soldiers rapidly decreased.
“Retreat!”
The commander shouted so loudly that the blood rushed to his neck.
Was he hoping for that command?
Aslan’s soldiers looked at their commander.
“After retreat?”
“Run away!”
“To where the base is… quickly!”
Aslan’s soldiers turned their backs and ran away.
Thousands of people began to flee, abandoning their weapons.
The sacred undead did not send those people off kindly.
Rather, I pursued it.
It was a warning.
A warning not to chase anymore by instilling fear in the other person!
It was my intention to engrave it deep in my bones.
“…”
King Rahamma watched the scene.
The undead army was all focused on Aslan’s formation.
The carriage carrying the royal family of the Holy Imperial Family gradually moved forward.
If we continue like this, we will end up sending them away.
“The crown prince wasn’t the problem.”
Rahamma wiped his face.
Yes, the crown prince was not a problem.
That existence can be oppressed by itself or the feudal lords alone.
What is the military in the first place?
When strong generals faced monsters, they were merely consumables to break down the opponent’s formation and advance.
As there was a gap in power between the strong and the army, it was nothing more than a means to destroy the territory.
But what about the author in front of you?
Each one handles not only skilled divine undead but also giant golems.
What if someone like that joins the army of the Holy Emperor?
The balance of power will collapse.
Aslan will either perish or be reduced to a slave state of the Holy Empire.
‘Coming here was the right decision.’
Yes, I had to deal with the author first, not the crown prince.
A being who is still just a boy.
If it grows further, it will definitely surpass the Crown Prince and become a more threatening entity than the prosperous Celts.
-Because you called an ‘angel’ here.
Rahamma turned his head, remembering what the shaman had said.
Before I knew it, the Hashashins were bowing their heads behind him.
“I will deal with him myself. So…”
Rahamma grabbed the mace from his back and took it out.
“You capture the remaining members of the royal family.”
The Hasashins bowed their heads.
King Rahamma strengthened his legs.
It goes right away.
Catch him and kill him before the army of the dead surrounds him!
His body was thrown off the outer wall.
* *
Amon’s skull was definitely under less strain.
I felt tired, but it wasn’t serious.
If you control your holy power well, you may be able to escape through Aslan’s army.
I sighed in relief inside my skull.
At that time, when I was barely able to maintain my sanity, a shiver ran down my spine.
As soon as I felt a terrible magical power, I turned my head.
The top of the outer wall exploded.
Something flew out.
Bone golems that share my spirit reacted to the ‘threat’.
They blocked the way.
It placed its large body in front and layered shields to create an iron wall.
It was strong enough to block any cavalry on the continent.
but.
bang!
Even the bone golems could not stop the monster-like strength and charging power.
With a loud noise, the shield was bent and shattered.
Even the bone golems holding the shields were distorted.
“what?”
I couldn’t believe my eyes at the absurd strength.
I looked at the man who had been lifted out from among the pieces of iron and bone.
Angular face. A person with fierce, beast-like eyes.
[Name: Rahamma Aslan.
Age: 55
Characteristics: Crush, Destroy, Ambitious, Tyrant’s tendencies, Foolish King, Overwhelming physical ability, Vast magical power. Excellent fighting ability
+I will become the greatest king in history!]
I twitched my eye muscles as I looked at him.
The Lord of Aslan. Rahamma.
It was the last boss of the enemy country.
As the bone golem bounced away, Rahamma’s eyes flashed.
He glared at me.
“I see. That’s what the shaman said…”
The golems I saw surrounded me.
I swung my mace and slammed my shield down.
Rahamma instantly rolled her eyes.
I looked at the weapons flying from all directions and turned my body.
Rahamma completely crushed the bone golems with the mace he was holding.
Powerful magical power spewed out from the mace.
An energy that was contrary to the holy power dominated the surroundings throughout his body.
I gritted my teeth at the feeling of death.
“You…”
King Rahamma muttered, looking at me as if he was remembering something.
“Is it an ‘angel’?”
