“In one month from now, I will announce to the world that you are a corps commander.”
Simon, Richard, and Anna’s mouths opened. Richard jumped up.
“Nefthys-sama, that’s… … !”
“You know what I mean?”
Nephthys smiled brightly.
“From the third year, you will go to school as a corps commander, Simon!”
My body and thoughts froze.
From next month, people from all over the continent will find out that I am a corps commander?
And going to school as a corps commander?
‘Mu, of course I asked Nephthys-nim, but… … .’
When I heard it, it felt a little sudden.
Nephthys, who was patting her bloated belly, laughed.
“Why is it so sudden?”
“Joe, a little.”
“I’m saying this because everything is ready!”
Nephthys spread her arms wide. The big white sleeves fluttered.
“The result of persistent efforts to bring about a change in public opinion! Now, more than 60% of the opinion agrees with the subject of accepting the Legion of Betrayal.”
“… … ah.”
“I don’t know about anything else, but considering the tendency of the allied people who are not as tolerant of the ‘sin of betrayal’, it is unprecedented. That’s why I think the image of the ‘Death Horse = 7 Legion’ worked well!”
Nephthys took a pumpkin pie and took a big bite. ‘Aww!’ He trembled and let out a sound full of satisfaction.
“What are you messing about? Yum Yum! Simon is now the official 3rd year student council president, so he has a strong supporter called Kizen, and above all, Magnus is dead.”
‘… … Magnus.’
Come to think of it, it was.
Until now, Magnus was one of the biggest reasons why he had hidden his identity as the Legion of Betrayal while keeping it a secret from his classmates and even the student council members.
He was a radical terrorist who had no common sense and did not choose any means or methods. He even tried to invade Locke Island or destroy Pentamonium in order to obtain Simon’s 7th Legion.
Simon obsessively concealed his identity because he never wanted to involve his friends in the case with Magnus, but now the most dangerous enemy, Magnus, is gone.
“But you are too hasty, Miss Nephthys. If you become a corps commander, you will become a target for all necromancers.”
This time Richard got up and commented.
“You consulted with me years ago. The fact that Simon is the commander of the 7th corps is revealed after graduation… … .”
“Things are different than they were a few years ago, Richard.”
Nephthys closed her eyes and rested her chin.
“The society has now emerged as the biggest enemy of the continent. Now that the leader of the 7th corps has emerged as an icon and opponent of the death, there is no time to reveal his identity as much as now.”
“but… … !”
“More than anything.”
Her eyes gleamed open.
“The death movement is unusual. Unconditionally, the fate of the continent will be decided within this year. A cataclysmic event is not enough to describe it. At this time, the power of the corps commander must play its role, and among them, Simon’s role in integrating the 7th and 5th corps is especially important.”
“Miss Nephthys~”
Then Anna intervened.
“My mouth was covered in sauce.”
“Woo-boob! Oops!”
She wiped Nephthys’ mouth thoroughly with a wet towel. Nephthys nodded and struggled as if he didn’t like it, but he couldn’t avoid Anna’s meticulous touch.
“Anna! My lips sting!”
“Please be patient.”
He was the ruler of the Dark Union, but he came back as a child who smokes too much. Simon, watching, let out a small laugh.
“Anyway!”
Nephthys rolled out of the sofa like a degururu ball and ate the chocolate next to her.
“I plan to reveal Simon’s identity to the continent, and focus Kizen’s capabilities on the growth of the 7th Corps in the 3rd year course that will begin soon! Should I change the class appropriately? 2nd Corps Commander Jean Arscalt has been promoted from temporary professor of Summon Jang Song-hak to full-time professor and is in charge of ‘corporate studies’! Simon’s other Ancient Undead must also become stronger than they are now!”
Nephthys’ story seemed reasonable.
Added corps commander curriculum to the 3rd year course. It meant that the growth and activity of the 7th Corps was essential for the upcoming war.
Simon thought hard, then glanced in Richard’s direction. He had a very complex expression on his face. It was the same with Anna.
“I know. Richard, Anna.”
Nephthys opened his mouth.
“You guys who have saved the world many times in the past will know. How hard and arduous work will unfold in the future. I understand that you don’t want to pass that fate on to your children.”
Her silver hair fluttered lightly as she tilted her head.
“But as the head of half the world, I have an obligation to take all measures. Of course, the opinion of the person concerned is the most important.”
Her sparkling blue eyes turned to Simon.
“What do you think? Simon. If you refuse, the normal Keygen 3rd grade curriculum… … .”
“I’ll do it.”
Simon got up from his seat.
“If I have a role in Nephthys-sama’s plan, I will gladly accept it.”
“Simon!”
Simon turned his head to look at Richard and Anna.
“Father, Mom. I will stop the association and clear the stigma of being an army of treachery. Because that has been my long-held dream.”
Richard and Anna held each other’s hands tightly. Nephthys said ‘Mm! hmm!’ and nodded his head.
“Okay, Simon! But just one thing. There is a wall you need to overcome to reveal your identity to the world right now.”
“what is that?”
“Shahed kingdom.”
She puffed out her cheeks with a condescending expression.

“If you reveal your true identity, they will become your most bitter and intrusive enemies.”
The Kingdom of Shahed, one of the four kingdoms of the Dark Alliance, was one of the direct victims of the Legion of Betrayal incident.
It didn’t happen in their territory, but since it was a war that divided the fate of the Dark Alliance at the time, many troops were dispatched, and many talented people were lost in the situation. It is said that even the royal family was sacrificed.
In fact, when Nephthys announced the news of the ‘return of the Legion of Betrayal’ before, the other kingdoms that resisted the return of the 7th Corps issued a wanted order against the commander of the Corps, but Shahed even issued a ‘killing order’ to catch and kill them. was about to come down
They couldn’t ignore the military power belonging to them, and the number of necromancers from their nationality was quite large.
“But right now, we have a chance to change public opinion about Shahed.”
“what is that?”
When Simon asked with a look full of anticipation, Nephthys looked at Richard and Anna with puzzled eyes.
“I heard you traveled the world, so you don’t know anything?”
“Ah yes! My son likes to wander around so much!”
Richard ha ha ha! I laughed and quickly calmed down. ‘Well, it doesn’t matter,’ Nephthys nodded, looking back at Simon.
“Can you believe that the king of a country was kidnapped?”
“yes?”
“Right now, the king and wife of the Shahed Kingdom are being held captive by the association.”
***
The royal family of the kingdom, as always, is very interested in managing the province.
Shaheed’s history in particular is marked by numerous rebellions. The period of centralization was also short compared to other kingdoms, and the current king was also a local indigenous power and then advanced to the center and became a royal family.
Therefore, in the royal government, local nobles are called to the center at the beginning of the year, and during the year-end period, they make pilgrimages to the provinces. It is a political action to keep local forces in check and to exert influence again in each province where the influence of the center has been loosened.
And now, when the region is more noisy than ever due to the death row, the king of Shahed made a pilgrimage to the region with his queen and ministers.
I was caught on my ankle in the last schedule.
“The place where the incident took place is a territory called ‘Bell Heights’!”
Nephthys continued, attaching papers to the wooden wall.
“It is also the hometown of the royal couple! As you can see, it is a fortified city built on a high rock wall, but it has never been captured by war in history! Impregnable!”
“Interesting.”
Simon nodded and listened to the story.
“Right here!”
Nephthys pasted the picture taken with the magic camera on the wall.
“Those who are presumed to be a society cast a strange spell on the entire territory.”
“ah!”
Atop a lofty rock wall, a gray wall stretched where the city should be.
To be precise, rather than a wall, it looks like some gloomy energy is wrapping around this territory.
“It’s been two weeks already. No one knows what’s going on inside this. Numerous necromancers of the Dark Alliance have tried to find a way to get inside, but all have failed.”
Nephthys shook her head while holding her forehead.
Simon raised his hand.
“Have you tried using the ‘portal’ made with the technique of death?”
“Ugh! But maybe because of that wall, the coordinates are distorted. When I sent someone out, they came out somewhere else!”
“hmm.”
Nephthys suddenly said she had a headache and ran to the kitchen. She received a cold sherbet for dessert, brought it out, and ate it with a spoon.
It was a mystery that so much food could fit in that little boat.
“This is the biggest case committed by the society since the murder of President Aland. If the royal couple are murdered or go missing, the Dark Alliance will fall into chaos. The first son who remained in the capital now declares that I am the ‘King’, and his second son is showing signs of rebelling, saying that he will not tolerate that. but-“
She looked at Simon and raised an eyebrow.
“If it’s the famous 7th Corps, there must be some way, right? They say they use spatial technology.”
‘… … You’re talking about interleaving the legionnaires.’
Simon closed his eyes and thought deeply.
It’s realistically difficult to use interlace over that wall.
Of course, there are other means in mind.
Thoughtful, Simon opened his eyes.
“Yes, I think we can do something.”
hmm!
Nephthys also smiled.
“Since Simon arrives late, the deadline is not too long. 5 days!”
She spread her five fingers.
“Since the Dark Alliance’s face is also face-to-face, after 5 days, the Alliance plans to drop a rather radical method that doesn’t care about the safety of the people inside. Until then, I hope the 7th Corps will take care of it.”
“Please leave it to me.”
Simon jumped up.
“I will leave right now. I will assemble an army.”
“Yep! You’re going straight to Pier’s Ruins, right? I’ll prepare a teleport magic circle.”
“… … .”
At that moment, Anna looked at Simon with bright eyes. Simon sweated and sat back down.
“… … I’ll just eat lunch and leave.”
“Oh my gosh, I need to prepare a meal right away!”
“rice! Me too!”
Nephthys raised her arms and followed Anna as she left for the kitchen.
***
I received a new mission directly from Nephthys, the head of the Dark Alliance.
The rescue of none other than King and Queen Shahed and the liberation of Belheights.
As Nephthys said, it was a good opportunity to change the public opinion of Shahhead, who considered the commander of the 7th corps as their enemy, but before that, the life and death of many people became unclear due to the association, so I couldn’t leave it alone.
Simon immediately returned to Locke Island in the teleport magic circle prepared by Nephthys, and headed straight to the ruins of Fear.
“Peer!”
[Khehehe! You came early boy!]
After the 5th Legion joined, the ruins were bustling as always. Among them, a peer wearing an intangible cape greeted Simon.
“I have a story to tell everyone. Could you summon all the captains right now?”
[It’s not difficult, but what’s going on?]
“Now the 7th Legion-”
Simon raised an eyebrow.
“I think the moment to come out to the sunny side has arrived.”
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Peer laughed out loud at those words and carried the Greatsword of Destruction on his back.
[Come back soon!]
“i look forward to!”
Peer leaves.
[Alaze. Reports exist.]
Alazee, the ancient undead of the former 5th Legion who escaped from Simon’s subspace, opened his mouth.
[Complete control of Mur’s warship. Corporal commander’s confirmation required.]
Simon turned his head.
“Is that ready?”
