Chapter 570
There was no way that there would be massive research data on black magic that the empire hadn’t done until now.
However, if a super-scale project is underway, there is no choice but to receive that knowledge from somewhere.
The Black Order used their hands here and there on the continent to deal with the Gate incident in their own way, and suffered enormous damage as a result.
They put most of their remaining power to kill the Demon King with their last surplus.
However, even the swordsmen who had reached the master class and the final black order leader who had reached the master class and the great wizard could not be opponents of the demon lord.
As soon as the remnants realized there was no hope, they fled.
After that, the Black Order was no longer able to intervene on the continent.
However, even though the Black Order’s power may have disappeared, its knowledge would not have disappeared.
There is a possibility that the remnants of the Black Order are collaborating with the Empire and providing knowledge. Since the Empire was in no position to cover it, they would have accepted the knowledge of sobriety.
I didn’t fully know what the Empire was doing, but I was suspicious of a completely different possibility.
But in the end, I had to call this also a very important harvest.
“The Black Order tried to kill you. Whatever the Empire’s intentions, if this is true, it can’t do us any good.”
Harriet nodded at Elerith’s words.
As long as it helps the war, anything is good, not only the Empire, but Reinhardt’s thoughts are the same.
If the knowledge of the Black Order could help end the war, Reinhardt wouldn’t bother using his hands.
Lruen, who had been silent, looked out the window with his arms crossed.
“It is clear that the Empire is not doing research, but rather is carrying out work with a clear purpose and outcome, and it is very likely that the knowledge of the Black Order is the basis.”
“The Black Order is a very old magical society. Their sobriety and research materials must be more extensive than any magical group in the world. There is no other group with as much data as the Black Order, even after the now-defunct Akasha.”
“What is the Empire trying to do by absorbing such knowledge… … .”
“Then, before that, there must be something that needs to be clarified.”
Lluen looks at Harriet.
“You said that the bodies disappeared and were replaced in the Imperial Mausoleum and the Hall of Heroes, right?”
“Yes, my lord.”
Harriet nodded.
“Did ‘all’ bodies in the Hall of Heroes disappear?”
At that question, Harriet shook her head.
“I’m not sure about that. I haven’t opened all the sarcophagi. But all the sarcophagi we opened were empty.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
Seeing Lluen seem to be thinking about it, Harriet tilts her head.
“Holy Head, is that important?”
“Yes. surely.”
“Why?”
Lluen shrugs.
“I don’t know whose graves are in the Hall of Heroes, but it’s probably not just the physically strong heroes buried there.”
Those who reached the master class.
Warriors are not the only ones who have made outstanding achievements or left footprints in the history of mankind.
“I ask specifically.”
Lruen asks.
“Among the warriors, was the sarcophagus of Mullern, who was a wizard, empty?”
At those words, Harriet’s eyes widened.
Hall of Heroes.
Lagann Artorius’ body wasn’t even there in the first place, said Charlotte.
That means that the other sarcophagi contained remains.
Harriet must have opened all the sarcophagi of the five warriors on that day, if not the other sarcophagi.
“Yes, obviously… … . It was empty.”
Olivia Ranze said.
When making a Death Knight, basic conditions are important.
It’s a pretty vicious example, but Olivia made it clear that you couldn’t make a Death Knight out of Harriet’s corpse.
However, it is clear that Empire is not doing the same work as Olivia, but on a completely different level.
“That’s pretty… … . It suggests terrifying possibilities.”
The imperial family must have retrieved the remains because there was a plan and something that was predicted to be possible.
“Are you saying that dead bodies can use magic?”
“Such a thing… … . Is it possible?”
Harriet asked, her complexion white.
“It’s not unusual for the undead to use magic in the first place.”
Antirianus looks around at the same time he points at himself.
The Lord Vampires in this place are undead.
“I’d never heard of such a thing and never thought it was possible, but it could make a lich, wouldn’t it?”
Resurrects a dead warrior and turns it into a Death Knight.
Then, it is not impossible to turn a dead wizard into a lich.
It is a magic that has never existed in the world, but it cannot be said that it will definitely not exist.
“If the Empire can revive countless heroes and wizards from human history and send them to war, then war is not a problem.”
Lucinil said with a firm expression.
“The Empire will have a greater military power than ever before.”
if this assumption is true.
Humanity is weak.
The moment the project is completed, the empire will be stronger than ever.

Nothing was revealed at the senate meeting, and suspicions increased.
He hadn’t paid attention to who the remains of the missing heroes were.
There is a circumstance that the Empire may be able to create a Lich beyond the Death Knight level.
Among the remains of the missing mage, only one was properly identified, Mullern.
This means that not only the Hall of Heroes, but also the possibility that the remains of many great wizards who exist in mausoleums such as the Hall of Wisdom were recovered together.
What if they all came back to life in the name of lich, and could use magic at the same level as before?
The Empire would have the most powerful army in history.
Elerith speaks quietly.
“I don’t know if the war ends and the empire scraps its army… … . If you don’t… … .”
“I can’t say that there’s no chance that the army will target us.”
Ellerith’s fearful prediction sent goosebumps all over Harriet.
It can’t be.
There is no reason why it should be.
Where the hell is the reason to let go of more powerful power than ever.
We are cooperating with each other knowingly and unknowingly now, but we both know that this cooperation cannot last forever.
Galarsch says.
“Whatever the Empire does, it may have to be destroyed before it is complete.”
It is a common goal to end this war.
However, everyone knows that peace does not come to the world the moment the goal is achieved.
Preparing the Empire will help end the war, but here’s the thing.
In the end, it’s a foolish act.
For fear of what will happen after all of this is over, you should consider destroying any means that might end it all.
If left alone, the war might end more easily.
However, after the war is over, the means that easily solved the war may destroy us.
So, should I foolishly interfere with this?
The Pandemonium War was caused by mankind’s fear of demons.
The gate incident was also caused by fear and hatred of each other.
And now.
Again.
Everyone is put to the test.
Should I watch my opponent wield great power?
Or should the plan be thwarted?
If you trusted your partner, none of this would have happened.
But just as the Empire couldn’t believe the Dark Lands.
Dark Land also couldn’t trust the Empire.

I think you should rest when you rest.
I thought the same thing when I saw Ellen or Heinrich, but it was the same with me who didn’t know how to rest.
In addition, seeing that Heinrich said that he would take a look around the ecliptic as soon as he returned, it seems that he did not come to rest in the first place.
If you think about it, the most dangerous thing right now might not be the Allied Garrison, where troops are always on standby, but the Ecliptic Gradium. It is clear that the security situation here and the safety situation in the outskirts must be the worst.
If so, it might be better to secure the safety of the neighborhood during the winter.
It seemed that Ellen and Heinrich were going to take a look around the outskirts.
Ellen is half a turn west from the north end.
Heinrich is half a turn east from the southern end.
It was a simple agreement.
“Watch out for those who don’t have fire.”
“It should be.”
At the entrance to the temple, Ellen and Heinrich were torn apart after a short conversation.
This isn’t something specifically agreed upon with the guards, it’s an autonomous mission, so to speak.
They do not take judicial action in the refugee settlement area, and if there are dangerous monsters roaming the outskirts, they will return after pushing them away.
“hmm… … .”
Ellen stares at me as I follow her to the outside of the temple.
Lest anyone recognize her, Ellen was wearing a robe.
Ellen wondered if she could take me with her, but eventually hugged me.
“let’s go.”
-Aug
Just like Heinrich can handle flames.
It is the same that Ellen can use Rapelt’s flame to destroy monsters from a distance.
Lightly, as if going for a walk.
Ellen hugged me and headed north of the ecliptic.

A few days had passed since Ludwig was assigned to the 17th Refugee Housing Area Guard in the southwest of the ecliptic.
Ludwig could not be treated as a mere guard.
And now he wasn’t even a regular security guard. I was even told that I could quit whenever I wanted to.
It’s not because you lost an arm.
Beyond being a member of the Temple Royal class, he is a superhuman who far surpasses that of an ordinary guard.
In addition to being a veteran who served in the Allied Forces, he is dedicated to the security of the imperial capital even after being evacuated to the rear.
That is why Ludwig was highly evaluated for his willingness to do anything even when he was in such a situation, rather than his handling of a parachute.
Ludwig wanted to be treated as a simple guard, but everyone treated Ludwig’s provisional rank with respect. The captain of the 17th Guards, to which Ludwig belonged, was no exception.
But now, at the headquarters of the 17th Guards, which was almost the only intact building in the refugee residence area, Ludwig was facing the head of the guards with a troubled expression.
“Are you talking about support for the punitive force?”
“Yes, chief.”
“Um… … .”
At Ludwig’s words, the captain of the guard couldn’t hide his troubled expression.
Ludwig said that several days had passed since he was assigned, and he wanted to take on another mission.
Subjugation team mission.
A guard who patrols the outskirts of the ecliptic and fights monsters directly.
Ludwig told the captain of the guard that he wanted to take on the task.
Since the punitive force was not under the jurisdiction of the 17th Guards and was incorporated into a completely different command system, Ludwig requested deployment to a completely different unit.
“We need Ludwig-nim’s help here too. Don’t you know?”
“… … Yes, I know.”
“I thought you’d understand that this place’s job isn’t light.”
“no. I’m not ignoring the work here… … .”
Ludwig wasn’t saying this simply because he wanted to fight a monster.
As with all imperial guards, it is true that the guards in the refugee residence area are very understaffed, and it is true that Ludwig is needed.
Ludwig wasn’t ignoring this side’s work.
“The work here gave me… … . It is too difficult.”
“… … .”
crime.
Immediate judgment and action must be taken frequently for human-related crimes.
It is almost like a lawless zone, and it is not uncommon for guards to be attacked.
Over the past few days, Ludwig has seen several times how the immediate action at the hands of the guards is taken in the form of summary execution.
Without a proper trial or procedure.
Security is very unstable, so the autonomy given to the guards is more than guaranteed.
Ludwig found it difficult to take immediate action in such a situation.
Are your judgments correct?
Ludwig wasn’t sure.
In a fight with a monster, such judgment is not necessary.
monsters are evil
so just kill it
But whether the refugees who commit the crime really did something wrong, and if it can’t be helped, whether we should forgive them for the reason they can’t help it.
An innocent person may be killed for his actions, or an innocent person may be put in jail due to a wrong judgment.
Work is not worthless.
It’s too hard for yourself.
Ludwig knows his brain isn’t very good.
You may make the wrong decision.
That was giving Ludwig a hard time.
Fighting monsters is hard, but it’s not a headache.
“I can’t.”
“… … .”
“Don’t you know that the higher ups won’t accept Ludwig’s request?”
It is a seat provided by the emperor.
There is no way you can go there even if you want to go to a dangerous place in a place where you are told not to fight in a dangerous place.
Ludwig is not treated like a parachute. But he’s not even a parachute.
Therefore, Ludwig cannot escape this position.
If you continue to deny the emperor’s favor, you may be confined to the temple altogether.
You may not even be able to do this.
“… … All right.”
In the end, Ludwig had no choice but to remain in this position, trusting his unstable judgment.
