The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 619

Chapter 619

–

A meadow where green grass ripples in the wind.

– Kagang!

As blades collide, blades of grass scatter in the shock wave that explodes, the ground is dented, and fragments of the magic shield scatter.

-thud! bang! Kwakang!

On the gleaming black blade, the darkness of the void drew a sharp and thick trail, and I busied myself with the sword, avoiding it or striking it back.

so many times

no, how many times

I don’t even remember how many times now.

I can’t even count how many days I died.

Now it almost feels like inertia.

A battlefield in inertia.

– Kwakang!

With Alsbringer out of my grasp, a black sword approaches the nape of my neck.

– Squeak!

Voidblade Lament sweeps through my throat, and a ghastly pain passes through my brain.

Darkness of consciousness.

“… … after.”

and awakening.

Once again in the meadow, I look at Ellen, who is standing across from me, the same as before, and this time I take out my Tiamata.

In this training to prevent death to come someday.

I somehow get used to defeat and death rather than victory.

“Just lose once.”

“… … .”

Ellen in her dreams was always silent.

just rush

-Shhh!

Ellen, who came flying on the breeze, stabbed me with a void sword.

A battle in a dream that would have exceeded a thousand units long ago.

I still couldn’t do more than hold on to Ellen.

“Why don’t you just sleep comfortably? Wouldn’t it be okay for one day in three days?”

Airi, who was putting her hand on my forehead when I woke up, asked me worriedly.

His entire body, including his forehead, was drenched in cold sweat.

Of course.

It’s strange if you die dozens of times in your dream and your body doesn’t respond. Rather, if that happens, I will be afraid of myself, who is overly accustomed to death.

Now, at the moment when we are actually fighting, there are times when I want to get rid of this, thinking that I might rather think of it as a dream and give up.

“Sleep is dead, so you can sleep for the rest of your life.”

“… … Don’t be silly.”

Airi’s expression darkens when she says something she heard somewhere.

morning.

More than two months have passed since the main church incident.

March.

After a long winter, spring has come.

spring of departure.

Jin’s spring has arrived.

* * *

“Allied forces are almost ready to launch. We will be leaving soon and the destination, as you know, is Gsonosia.”

At Harriet’s words, everyone in the seat nodded.

The allied forces have regrouped and will now advance to their next destination.

Was this break long or short for the army that had been advancing for a long time?

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it had passed in an instant.

However, as if I hadn’t spent the time playing, or rather, I was busy, the allied forces were busy during that short time.

This time Sarkegar opens his mouth.

“The news that the improvement of Her Highness Titan has been completed.”

“how much?”

“It seems to be able to operate for about five times longer than before.”

“So about 30 to 40 minutes?”

“Yeah, it looks like it has additional armament.”

The Titan was only able to move for about 7 minutes.

However, Adelia, the Grand Duke, and the Grand Duke’s wizards set out to improve Titan.

In just three months, there was an impressive achievement of increasing the operating life of Titan by a factor of five.

The report of Sarkegar, who was scouting the Allied side, was over.

Then next.

Olivia Ranze.

“It’s going pretty well.”

“… … .”

“okay. First of all, it should be said that the high-ranking priests have fully entered, and now the mental training is underway mainly for the low-ranking priests. Covertly, of course.”

“How is the policy of recruiting pagans going?”

“It is a sensitive issue. I’ve been taking a cautious approach since the Pagan Policy announcement, you know. If you touch it carelessly and get sprained, what happened in the past will repeat itself again. First of all, the priests inside the church should properly arm themselves. It’s still going. Didn’t you think it would be soon?”

“What about Rowen?”

“Everything from one to ten of mental problems is a problem, but you know that there is nothing wrong with the work part. Honestly, that idiot would be most loyal to you here? You just have to be careful of doing strange things with excessive loyalty.”

“It should be.”

It was inevitable that the main church was swallowed up.

However, asking all the priests of the main church to accept the Demonic Church at once was not something that could happen in a short time.

Including the pagan embracing plan, including all pagans, it was inevitable that it would be a much later task.

That’s why we couldn’t make any hasty moves until we had a clear control over the main denomination and edification to our liking.

The leaders are all subsumed by us, but most low-level priests don’t know that.

There is no need to worry about interference from the outside, so you only have to worry about collapsing from the inside.

Reform the Templar Knights and the Main Order from within.

I don’t know if reform is the right word for it.

And we didn’t just swallow the main church.

“What about our Demonic Religion Master?”

“The integration work is going smoothly. It seems that it can be seen that about 60% has already been assembled. Now that the speed has picked up, it seems that the majority of the demonists will soon have a consistent belief.”

Antirianus says that with a grim smile.

In a way, it seems to fit.

Because Rowen is nominally the commander of the Knights Templar, Antirianus was in charge of uniting the demons and warriors in the refugee camp.

It is very regrettable that there was no writer as zealous as I was for the grumpy work, so there was no one more suitable than Antirianus.

I had no intention of ordering Antirianus in the first place. Anyone can do it, but it has to be done, but when I asked who would do it, that old man raised his hand with a childlike expression.

After integrating the Magicians, if the main denomination is sufficiently remodeled to some extent, it is integrated with the main denomination.

In an instant, it became a group that could be called a nation on a continent where the taste was almost gone.

“I always told you not to do anything stupid.”

“Is it possible? You are a great being.”

What Rowen and Antirianus have in common.

It’s reliable, but there’s always a crucial element of anxiety.

Antirianus has the downside of letting go of shit when he wants to make the situation worse, and Rowen is loyal to me, but there is a possibility that he will do strange things at his own discretion.

There is a saying that borrows even a bracken hand because there are no workers.

That’s wrong.

Fern son is not anxious.

In many ways, there were no people and I had to use everything I could, so I felt like I was borrowing the devil’s hand, not the bracken.

Allied forces ready for deployment.

Check out the Titan improvements.

The main church work is cruising.

The Demonic Church is cruising through integration.

And again.

I look at Ellilith.

“Allied deployment of Immortal has been finalized.”

“… … Right.”

Immortal.

The Empire secretly decided to call it that.

“We can’t deploy it openly, but it looks like we’ll be moving by scouting the battlefield in advance and annihilating small gates in advance, like we did before.”

“The Empire is in a state where it has been decided that only the most elite of Immortals will be deployed.”

“The size of the input consists of 3,000 master classes, 10 grandmasters, and 1,000 archmages. Strictly speaking, there is a high possibility that they alone can attack large cities.”

“In addition, it was confirmed that a certain degree of damage is immediately reproduced when damaged.”

“It seems that it can be restored after recovery in case of irreversible damage.”

There are three thousand master classes that can be seen in the ranks of the strongest of mankind.

There are a thousand wizards, each of whom can cast mass teleport.

And ten grandmasters, which was not so many in history.

Some of the grandmasters are even beings who have reached the level of archmages at the same time.

There have been many geniuses in history.

All those geniuses have come back from the dead.

It is mankind’s strongest army.

No, it will be the strongest army in history.

Since it is already dead, it cannot be injured, and if the injury is minor, it can be regenerated.

Even if it is severely damaged, it will automatically return to the underground laboratory of Temple Magic University and be automatically restored.

It’s a truly catastrophic army.

The Gate Crisis is almost over.

If they find out that they can suppress a super-large warp gate by themselves after operating it after a test deployment with stupid words, the Allied Forces may withdraw from the spot.

That army is also a problem, but we are paying attention to other problems.

“Replication?”

“It doesn’t seem possible at this point, but I think it will inevitably be under research. I have it in mind, but I think even the Empire would be reluctant to touch it that far.”

A golem made to move by infusing black magic into alchemy.

I am afraid of what will happen if the now feared army even becomes possible to clone.

I felt with my skin why I was afraid of dangerous techniques.

It moves with the same purpose now, but when the power is directed towards me.

I can’t help but think about that time.

“If a technology was developed in order to prevent the Gate Incident, the Gate Incident would become nothing… … . Is that a good thing… … . I still don’t know.”

I had to agree with Charlotte’s worrying words.

At this rate, the gate situation seems to be resolved smoothly.

But what happens if you do too many risky things to get past the crisis?

I couldn’t help but feel that anxiety.

“Maybe you don’t have to think hard about it. In the end, Immortals, though strong, are just machines without free will. If you have to subdue a person, it’s a matter of subduing the controller, not the machine.”

There is a lot of truth in Lucinil’s words.

You don’t have to invent a magic that destroys a tank in order for it to subdue it.

Enough magic to snip people inside the tank.

After all, Immortals are golems in the form of humans and are under someone’s control.

The controlling device or controller.

If you hold that one in your hands, the immortal is a tin can in the form of a human.

But is that possible?

Of course, I know that the Empire is not the only opponent to be subdued.

“The important thing is that the other person knows that too.”

“It is. Because you’re not stupid.”

Whether it’s the Empire or the guys who directly operate Immortals, they have no choice but to be fully aware of the weaknesses of Immortals. Because there is no way that the operating side will not consider any weaknesses that we can think of.

Immortals may run out of control if you recklessly touch them without properly preparing them.

Then everything is over.

“Anyway, Immortals won’t be used to attack us right away, but it’s better to constantly look for ways to neutralize or deal with them.”

“Your Highness.”

The march begins again.

The changed allied forces will go towards the end of the gate incident in the changed situation.

One last look at Charlotte.

Enough reports have been made about the external affairs, so it’s time to share the internal situation.

“The settlement of migrants is almost complete. Razak’s overcrowding will be greatly alleviated now. The establishment of the local administration has been completed, and I don’t think there is anything to worry about about security.”

Distributing the oversaturated population of Razak to various parts of the archipelago.

It has not been able to proceed properly so far because the stability of local administrations is in doubt. Anything that says your control over fat is getting weaker is going to leak, so there’s nothing good about it.

However, Charlotte succeeded in establishing a proper local administrative system.

Create a system for maintaining public order and for transmitting and reporting administrative power.

That’s why it is now being reborn as a proper nation.

“Continue to work on establishing and stabilizing local administration. If the situation doesn’t go well, we might have to bring the cultists and demonists from the ecliptic here.”

Tasks are completed one by one.

Prepare with everything in mind.

but.

If you do that, you will end up not being able to prepare at all.

Such ominous imaginations continued.

* * *

The senate meeting is over.

What we were doing, standing at the forefront, reconnaissance of the battlefield and annihilating it through a preemptive strike, will stop at this stage.

Immortals will do what we used to do.

And it’s clear that the Immortals can do it much more accurately and reliably than we can. As soon as you hear it, it’s a scale that makes your mogol sigh.

If it wasn’t for a big-city strategy battle, there might not be a need for us to participate anymore.

We may have to hold our breath, thinking about the post-Gate incident.

“Do you have a moment, Reinhardt?”

After the meeting, it was Harriet who followed him.

“It overflows.”

“… … No, I’m not going to say anything to the subject of asking if you have time, but shouldn’t you have too much time?”

uh.

It is.

Am I the kind of person who shouldn’t have a lot of time?

“I have plenty of time to spend on you.”

If you don’t have it, you have to force it.

cancer.

who is calling

Naturally, at my words, Paktong’s face started to turn red.

“You crazy bastard… … !”

“Ouch! Why, even if you have time, what the fuck!”

“Now I don’t care about such shameless words. casually! this person! naughty! What if someone hears it!”

“What do you hear! what are we Nam? Huh?”

no one else

But what, honestly.

Isn’t that a lot left?

If you turn that back, it’s someone else, but that’s not someone else… … .

That’s right… … .

“Shut up everyone!”

I was beaten for a long time by the red-faced Paktong.

Of course I always did, but it didn’t hurt at all.
