The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 625
Chapter 625
A certain street in the ruined city.
“It’s a bit surprising that he doesn’t even try to run away.”
Christina quietly muttered as she watched the order wizards who were brutally murdered.
Ludwig’s right arm was still intact with a bandage, as if it hadn’t been since he summoned the ominous and terrifying Dark Aura Blade.
All the Wizards of the Order were slaughtered by Ludwig.
He didn’t even try to run away.
“Did you know that there was no point in trying to run away?”
“I don’t know.”
Anna de Guerna, who has been waiting in the distance, approaches over the ruined ledge.
“There are no detectable life forms nearby. here… … . everything.”
Anna turns away from the dead bodies with a hard expression.
Even if he tried to run away, he would have been caught in Anna’s magic anyway, and the immortal archmage waiting in the distance was spreading the shielding field.
“There may be remnants, but it means nothing. We won’t be able to take the Immortal out of our hands anyway.”
The Black Order has completely disappeared from the world with this.
You may have missed one or two, and you may have survived, but it is meaningless to have them.
“It’s kind of scary to think that if it wasn’t for Louie, the entire Immortal might have been taken away.”
Cristina smiled and licked her lips.
The Black Order’s intentions were obvious from the start.
That’s why Louis focused on finding the Black Order’s alterations.
If it wasn’t for Louis, the Black Order would have tried to move the world as they intended, even with force. By using none other than Immortal.
It couldn’t even be called a battle of numbers.
In a battle between genius and scheming, genius only won.
The Immortals that the Black Order wanted to make into their own army are now Christina’s.
“What do you think of Ludwig?”
“what?”
“Ellen becoming emperor, and the demon king becoming emperor, it will remain as it is.”
Christina asks.
“What do you think would be better?”
In response to Christina’s question, Ludwig answered briefly as if he didn’t have to think about it.
“I don’t know.”
It was a simple answer without even worrying.
“Something like that will work.”
It’s good to not know about things you don’t know.
I have something to do.
then just do it
Leave the things of the world to the things of the world.
After answering that, Ludwig looked at his right hand.
The grandmaster’s arm gave Ludwig great strength.
Ludwig had the power to skip several steps.
However, he could not get used to the feeling of a foreign body in his body.
It was an impossible procedure for an ordinary person to endure.
‘A few years at most… … .’
Dettomorian’s words that he would die.
Now Ludwig truly understood what that meant.
It had only been a few days since he had endured pain that would have been better than death and was able to get up and move properly.
The limits of the body will come one day.
The price for making things that shouldn’t be meshed together is now being paid in real time.
“are you okay… … ?”
Anna looked at Ludwig’s complexion as if worried. Ludwig nodded with a firm expression.
The body is still enduring it.
I can fight again.
until the body breaks apart.
until you finish what needs to be done.
You just have to endure it until then.
“huh. are you okay.”
till now.

“Report the readiness of the entire army.”
Emperor Bertus sat quietly in the headquarters barracks with only the telepathic Ivia in front of him.
Ivia sends a telepathic message to each commander of the entire army, and Ivia summarizes the situation and reports it.
“All troops are ready, Your Majesty.”
Telepathic abilities streamline the communication process.
That’s why Ivia was acting as a messenger without moving from her seat.
“We will begin our advance in the direction of Gsonosia from tomorrow. The estimated time it will take to reach Gsonosia is 10 days in total, and the troops of the advance party will annihilate the warp gates in the size of a small city in advance, so when they arrive in Gsonosia, a battle will begin immediately. So that the commanders of each echelon can fully understand the facts that apply to them.”
As long as Immortal is operating, small and medium-sized warp gates can already be left there.
The only time you have to engage in an all-out war is when attacking a large city-level warp gate. Attacking big cities will become increasingly difficult, so if the battle against Gsonosia isn’t easy, it should be seen that it will become increasingly difficult in the future.
If it was difficult to attack Gsonosia now that they had an unprecedented army called Immortals, the remaining battles would become even more difficult.
The day was off and the whole army had a long rest for the winter.
“From tomorrow, the military will not stop until we see a complete end to the gate crisis.”
The emperor calmly issued the order, and Ivia quietly spread the word to all the military commanders.
* * *
The garrison ahead of the campaign was quiet rather than bustling.
A long, long march would begin with the minimum necessary tents and other supplies stocked.
Just like an animal preparing to wake up from a long hibernation.
From now on, this long, long break will not be given.
Will the war end or will humanity perish?
The army will advance until one way or the other.
In such a quiet garrison, those who had been in the temple so far and returned were also ready to go out.
Christina.
Anna.
Louis Ankton.
And even Ludwig.
Naturally, everyone couldn’t help but be shocked.
Ludwig, who lost his arm and had to go back, was wrapped in a bandage, but he definitely got his right arm back.
“Ludwig? no, that arm… … ?”
At Lanian Sesor’s question, Ludwig showed a clumsy smile.
“There was an experimental procedure, so I became the first subject.”
“are you okay… … ?”
“Uh, it moves surprisingly well.”
Ludwig showed off his good looks by opening and closing his fists and moving his arms up and down.
There are certain procedures that can bring back a lost arm.
Everyone had no idea what it was, so they couldn’t find anything to say while watching Ludwig’s calm appearance.
It’s nice to have your arm back, but is it really in a state where you can fight?
Looking at his bandaged arm, Ludwig did not appear capable of fighting.
Ludwig shook his head as if he knew the concern.
“I’m not going to go into battle myself. You should be assigned to the rear support unit. So don’t worry.”
“Ahhh… … . I see.”
It was a lie.
Ludwig was determined to carry out an operation with Immortal.
In a way, it is fighting in the most dangerous place since the beginning of the Jaejin army. Ludwig had no reason or need to tell his friends about the situation.
Rumors of Ludwig’s sudden return and his regained right arm had no choice but to spread throughout the Royal Class garrison.
Scarlett also had no choice but to come straight to Ludwig’s news.
“Ludwig… … ?”
“It’s been a while, Scarlett.”
Scarlett opened her mouth in a daze, looking at Ludwig’s new right arm.
As Ludwig explained to others, he told the story of not worrying about what happened to his arm as he would never go into battle himself.
“Then it’s fortunate… … .”
However, everyone felt a sense of incongruity when they saw Ludwig returning.
Apart from getting his arm back, I can’t help but feel the atmosphere of Ludwig who has changed.
Ludwig’s eyes had something dark and gloomy. I feel something in the disorganized appearance.
Anyone with a bit of an eye for it could have noticed it.
The length of Ludwig’s left and right arms is a bit odd.
The right arm was slightly longer. A bit unnatural.
It is unknown what the experimental procedure was, but everyone had to know that it was by no means an ordinary procedure.
Everyone couldn’t help but feel a subtle ominous feeling at Ludwig’s return, which gave off a somewhat dangerous atmosphere.
“… … .”
“It’s been a while Cliff.”
And Cliffman, who urged Ludwig to withdraw from the battlefield, also encountered.
Ludwig, who followed Cliffman’s words to return without being a nuisance to others, eventually returned with his right arm recovered through some means.
Cliffman looks at Ludwig with a firm expression as he greets Ludwig with an attitude that is not much different from before.
“Dirty bastard… … .”
Cliffman shook his head tiredly, looking at Ludwig as if he had a premonition of something.
After saying hello to the familiar faces who had come back after a long time, Ludwig prepared for the march and walked around the camp where the night fell.
Ludwig doesn’t fight alongside the Royal Class Garrison or the main Allied Forces anyway.
Rather, it would have been more time to fight alongside Immortal than to stay in the garrison.
I was just saying hello so that being in the garrison wouldn’t be a strange situation.
But not everyone believed Ludwig’s lies.
“hey… … .”
Heinrich von Schwarz.
Heinrich, who learned what was going on in the ecliptic, couldn’t help but harden his expression as he saw Ludwig returning with his arm back.
“That I think… … . Right?”
As soon as Heinrich saw how Ludwig got his arm back, Heinrich couldn’t help but know at once.
It must have been transplanted with an arm reconstructed by black magic.
At the risk of his life, he got his arm back.
And I don’t know how they’re overcoming the rejection reaction and other problems.
However, Heinrich had no choice but to know that Ludwig was in a very dangerous condition.
So Heinrich knows that Ludwig’s statement that he will not fight is a lie.
“please… … . Did you have to do that?”
“well.”
At Heinrich’s question, Ludwig smiled bitterly.
“I wonder if a person who is nothing can do something… … .”
“… … .”
“I wanted to check that out.”
It’s already happened.
There is no turning back.
Heinrich couldn’t say anything to Ludwig, who had already done the job.
Heinrich gritted his teeth and spat out.
“You’re thinking of fighting and dying.”
It seemed that Heinrich now knew what Dettomorian’s prophecy had foreseen.
like that.
Ludwig found someone quietly looking down on the garrison on a low hill in the place where the Royal Class Garrison was located.
Ellen Artorius.
In the full moonlight, Ellen stood still on the hill, looking down at the garrison as if watching.
Ludwig was silently looking up at Ellen on the hill.
Ellen, who helped pursue the case without questioning Ludwig’s request for help, eventually returned to the garrison as if running away.
It was the first time we met after that.
Ellen slowly moves her eyes towards Ludwig and looks at Ludwig.
There was no emotion in those eyes.
Ellen said nothing.
How did you come back and what happened to your arm?
I was neither embarrassed nor frightened.
Other than being aware that there was a person there, no thoughts or emotions were revealed.
“Something has changed in you.”
Ludwig said that while looking at Ellen, who seemed to have somehow become a completely different person.
More than she herself had changed, Ellen had strangely changed.
something has changed
Everyone changes.
turns into change
“… … .”
Dead-eyed Ellen made no reply or reaction.
He was just staring at Ludwig in the moonlight.
Ludwig no longer asked anything about the still life in the moonlight.

Allies move.
Maintaining the military itself for a long time is itself a risk.
If it can be ended quickly, that is the only good in war. Now that the power is sufficient, the Empire will immediately wage a speed battle to destroy the warp gates across Riselen.
The Empire had to pass through several small and medium-sized cities to reach its next destination. Therefore, if it was the same as before, the march would have taken a long time.
“It was swept away… … .”
But now I was looking at the destroyed city, thick with smoke and flames.
“… … I expected it to be huge.”
what was the name of the city
I don’t remember, but this was a city with one medium warp gate and two small warp gates.
But me and Elerith could see only traces of destruction and slaughter.
Small provincial towns and towns in between could be wiped out in less than half a day with Immortal alone.
We wanted to see the Immortals fighting in person, but we arrived at this place a little late because we might be in trouble if we were caught in their eyes.
Ellerith’s complexion was usually pale, but her complexion was almost blue.
Elleris could not help but be afraid of the power of a man driven into a corner.
Perhaps the gate situation has now lost its meaning.
“Depending on how the occupation of Gsonosia proceeds, the allied forces may withdraw altogether.”
“Maybe.”
If it is predicted that it is possible to deal with the gate crisis only with Immortals, the Allied Forces may disband.
“But each gate becomes more and more dangerous. Disbanding the Allies prematurely is foolish. Like it or not, the allied forces can’t leave here anyway until all Riselen’s warp gates are destroyed.”
The gate crisis is not over until the last warp gate is destroyed.
If the Allied Forces try to withdraw prematurely and find out that the Gate crisis cannot be ended with Immortals alone, then the Allied Forces must be regrouped. That is not even funny.
In the end, the allied forces must exist until we see the complete end of the gate crisis.
Immortals are a large-scale unit, and at the same time have a great advantage in terms of mobility that can move the entire army with mass teleport.
That’s why the Immortal can wipe out these small and medium-sized cities by going back and forth across Riselen with a super-large mass teleport as if to intercept the enemy’s stronghold.
“I’ll have to see how the Battle of Gsonosia goes.”
At the same time, the war intensifies and intensifies.
it’s coming to an end
