Episode 240. Cogwheel.
Second Prince Beleist.
Although his plans were disrupted, he did not stop the operation.
After all, after tonight, he will lose his chance to subdue Loki, and Albus’ unit, the Ancient Chimera, which he thought was the seed of the revolution, will not be able to use its full power.
‘Somehow, we have to settle this battle.’
When the sun rises tomorrow, either Loki or I will be sitting on the throne.
With this mindset, Beleist led his troops to the front of the palace.
Although there was a problem with the military due to the death of the 4th Prince Karl, there was enough strength to push back the imperial army currently guarding the palace.
“Albus, take charge of Proslope.”
After receiving his order, Albus rode forward on his horse and approached the knights surrounding the palace. His goal is to assassinate the third prince, Proslov, by pretending to pursue a peace agreement through dialogue. Of course, the enemy would also know this.
It was a strategy to create an opening to somehow enter the palace.
Proslov will never kill Albus until the conversation is over. This will be seen as a battle that requires the preservation of chivalry, beyond simply a fight between brothers. With these thoughts, Beleist hid in the Ancient Chimera unit and watched Albus.
This is because the flow of this operation will vary depending on what kind of results he produces.
“Hello, my name is Albus, the leader of the Ancient Chimera, and I have brought you a message from Second Prince Beleist.”
Proslov glanced at him and answered with an arrogant expression.
“I understand that you are one of the generals of the Pope’s Office. “Why are you hanging out with the traitor Beleist?”
“I was just following God’s will and moving with him.”
“God’s will?”
“Yes, a revelation has come to help Beleist, who will become the master of this continent in the future, to sit on the throne.”
“Who made that revelation?”
“God sent it.”
“So you’re saying you received the oracle yourself? “The Pope has been dead for a long time, and I heard that the archbishops are no longer there.”
Albus shrugged his shoulders with a natural expression.
“You can hear God even without them. “He is everywhere and nowhere.”
“I’ll leave the puns here. So what is Beleist’s message?”
“Let’s end this pointless battle here. “Now he wants to solve this problem through conversation with Loki.”
“You want to solve it through conversation?”
“Yes, Mr. Proslov, as you know, if the fighting continues like this, the only people who will be sacrificed will be innocent people. In fact, won’t the royal family and nobles suffer no harm?”
As he approached me without a weapon and spoke as if he was for the people, the conversation flowed naturally.
Perhaps, if Beleist, who was his senior, had shown a coercive attitude, or if Albus, who had brought the message, had shown an arrogant attitude, the conversation would have easily ended.
‘As expected, Albus is different.’
Know how to deal with others.
Vileist saw the gap and sent the person next to him toward the direction where the garrison commander was staying.
“Makhachev, you know Karl’s tone because you have heard it. Meet with the guard commander and give him an order to open the way.”
Makhachev, an assassin wearing a deep brown cloak with the Ancient Chimera symbol on it, answered.
“Yes, prince.”
He had the same face as Carol.
Sharp eyes, sharp nose, cherry-like lips and three dots next to the eyes.
The only difference is a very small difference that can be felt only in height.
Even that could change depending on what you were wearing on your feet, so it wouldn’t be a problem to deceive the defense captain.
“Anyway, Verdin was operating in a different way than what they told me. “Is it okay if I leave it like this?”
“Don’t worry, someone with one of my Bae Hu-ryeongs has decided to take care of it.”
“The one with Prince Bae Hu-ryeong?”
“Okay, so make sure you do your job well. “When this incident is over, I will get the aforementioned conservatives and your imprisoned family out.”
“… “Yes, prince.”
After finishing the conversation, Makhachev, disguised as Karl, got off his horse and slowly approached the garrison commander.
As several knights aimed their spears at him and stopped him in his tracks, the guard captain approached him, stroking his long mustache, and asked:
“Please refrain from any suspicious behavior. “Don’t forget that a battle can start because of you alone.”
“… Do you know who I am?”
At the same time as he heard the voice, the commander of the defense trembled as if he was starting a game.
He looked at Carol’s face through the brown cloak and tried to salute in a stiff posture, but soon felt the gaze of others and lowered his hand and lowered his voice.
“Are you really Prince Karl?”
“Yes, I have come to give you close orders.”
“How have you been hiding among the rebels?”
“There were circumstances. “Don’t talk too long.”
“No matter what happens from now on. Never give way to a belayist. “They are enemies, not allies.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“You will soon see what I mean.”
After saying these words, the person who appeared to be Carl took three steps back and suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it into his abdomen.
Then he looked up at the sky and screamed.
Everyone’s eyes focused on him as he fell. The garrison commander began to read the situation with a puzzled expression.
‘Why is Carol suddenly acting like this?’
Even Belast, who gave him the order to negotiate, could not hide his embarrassment at the sudden action.
‘Could it be that the guard commander noticed? He said that his disguise ability is indistinguishable even to high-ranking assassins.
Carol, who stabbed herself and fell, subtly twitched the corner of her mouth. The garrison commander read his expression and thought as he glanced at the Ancient Chimera.
‘Wait a minute, I told you not to open the way for Prince Vileist.’
He’s a rebel anyway, so how could I?
The garrison commander hesitated for a moment and then turned his head in the direction of Proslope.

“… Prince Proslov, it’s an enemy trap!”
As his cries spread throughout the battlefield, Proslov summoned Bae Hu-ryeong, a muscular man wearing a helmet made of steel.
“I had some expectations.”
Albus, who was facing him, quickly jumped back and shouted, using the snake wrapped around his hand like a staff.
“Change strategy, make a path to the palace!”
With loud shouts, the imperial army and the rebel army began to fight. The front of the palace instantly became a sea of blood, and Prosloff, who had turned into a giant, collided with Albus.
Of course, the battle between the two camps was tilted even before it started, so the imperial army, which had set up a defensive position in advance, blocked the rebels with an unwavering and solid defense.
‘If the battle continues like this, our side will be defeated.’
Beleist made a quick decision and began executing the second operation.
Although he didn’t tell Albus, his adjutant and those close to him were informed of the plan in advance.
There is no need to make enemies and deal with everyone in order to sit on the throne.
All of this will be over if they just deal with the one who is currently giving orders above their heads, the First Prince, Loki.
To truly become the emperor of this continent, you need the power of the 12 elders and the queen, but that is a problem that can be resolved after dealing with them first. Vileist summoned above his head a giant with two huge horns on his forehead. The adjutant who was watching this threw away his weapon, picked up a shield as big as his body, and spoke to him.
“We will build a road.”
“Yes, I will somehow raise the banner of victory over that palace. “Please wait here until then.”
The adjutant put all his aurors into his shield and ran with all his might to the palace entrance. In order to stop him, the imperial garrison used guns, swords, spears, and even artillery, but it was difficult to break through the thick aura and defeat him.
Beleist’s adjutant, who eventually succeeded in entering the center of the enemy camp, placed his shield on the ground, raised his head and roared loudly into the night sky.
“Kaaaa!”
At the same time, the ground shook greatly.
Kwa-gu-gu-gu-gu!
Although this was a fleeting moment, it made everyone on the battlefield stop.
For some, this was a new opportunity to turn the fight around, and for others, a situation was created that showed the enemy a loophole and allowed a counterattack.
‘Thank you, everyone.’
When Beleist raised his palm above his head, his giant Bae Hu-ryeong turned into smoke and entered his body. Karl and Proslov, who had previously used the same power as him, showed physical changes, but unlike them, he headed towards the battlefield in the same form as before.
“I tried to kill all the guys on the other side out of revenge later.”
There is nothing we can do when things have become this messed up.
As Belayst entered the battlefield, a flash of light flashed.
And when everyone closed their eyes and opened them, the Belayst that was in front of them just a moment ago disappeared completely. Only one person out of thousands of soldiers knows his whereabouts when he suddenly disappears.
Proslov quickly turned back and looked in the direction of the palace, then clenched his fists with a bitter taste in his mouth.
“Are you sure you want to compete against Brother Rocky?”
Belayst approached Loki, who was sitting on the throne.
The two had calm expressions, as if they had already anticipated a confrontation with each other.
“In the end, did it have to go this far? Belayst.”
When Loki stood up and pulled out the sword that had been handed down to him by his father, Beleist let out a long sigh, nodded his head a couple of times, and then answered while holding the sword that he had also received from his father.
“You knew it would end up like this from the beginning, didn’t you?”
How can the two of them talk so calmly even though they know that one of them is going to die? Verdin, who was listening to their conversation from across the wall, smiled bitterly.
‘It reminds me of Gunther and Hysteria.’
Because they had the same experience as these two.
Verdin quietly waited for the conversation between the two to end.
When the opportunity comes, I will personally step forward and cut off Beleist’s head.
So that Strange can receive the justification for putting Loki on the throne along with his achievement of subduing the rebels.
Not long after that, the two brought out Bae Hu-ryeong to end their quest for the throne.
To be precise, the fight began after the descent had already been completed.
Maybe if those two had joined forces and attacked me, a pretty interesting picture would have come out.
I don’t know how excellent their fighting skills are, but Bae Hu-ryeong is so strong that they can never be underestimated.
‘… ‘Now.’
As the fight began, Verdin walked towards the throne room.
Now I will step forward, subdue Vileist, and present the corpse of the rebel leader to the twelve elders.
With that in mind, I immediately moved to where Loki and Belayst were.
Loki fell down with a sword stabbed in his chest.
The person in front of him is not a Vileist, but one of the Tower’s apostles and the first emperor of this continent.
‘Amon di Rockefeller.’
The guy smiled brightly at me while holding an open book made of mana.
“You’re late, Verdin. I guess I won this match? Haha.”
