Chapter 626

Originally, until reaching Gsonosia, the destination, the allied forces had to conduct several small and medium-sized city occupation battles.

As long as the Immortals inherited the work of the Demon King’s army and began to neutralize the base more quickly and accurately, the allied forces went ahead.

However, the allied forces only moved forward and did not suffer a battle.

There were no monsters in the path of the Allies.

At best, only the remains of the monsters that had already turned into flesh were left.

In the end, it was bound to be a pleasure for anyone, regardless of the reason.

Naturally, there was no choice but to spread rumors that the empire was operating a huge advance party.

But in the end, isn’t it a good thing that there is no fight?

Although it was replaced by Immortal that the Empire was operating a powerful large-scale unit that was not explained in detail, it was also something that the heads of each military had foreseen to some extent.

It is unknown what kind of power the advance team had, but the fact that they were devastating small and medium-sized cities was a good thing from the point of view of the main unit.

however.

-Go oh oh

Gsonosia, where a large-scale battle was scheduled, had already been reduced to ashes by the vanguard.

“… … What is this?”

Kono Lint had no choice but to see the scene before anyone else.

An unknown large-scale military unit had already destroyed not only small and medium-sized cities, but also the large city of Gsonosia, as well as annihilating all gates and monsters.

* * *

No matter how much the army is prepared for war, there are no people who like battle itself.

So there was no reason to hate that small and medium-sized cities had already been destroyed, and there was no need to fight there.

However, is it really something to rejoice that the main attack base has already been destroyed?

Whatever the reason, it can’t be a bad thing from the point of view of power reserve that the battlefield where a lot of bleeding is expected has already been captured.

But isn’t it strange?

Isn’t it strange that this much is possible?

It’s good that they survived, and it’s good that there were no large-scale battles.

Apart from good being good, I couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of incongruity and anxiety hanging over the entire Allied Forces.

Rather than being excited about the disappearance of a planned large-scale battle, the Allied Garrison is filled with a strange sense of incongruity.

General Headquarters Chamber.

“Your Majesty, can you tell me now?”

One of the commanders in charge of each army gathered in the headquarters barracks cautiously opened his mouth.

“Everyone knows that up until now the Allied Forces had been operating advance units. Everyone knows that Sir Saviolin Tana and the hero do not belong there.”

Those who know that the role that Immortal plays now was played by the demon king’s army in the past, but most people don’t know.

That’s why they only guessed that the Empire had a very strong military power hidden away.

“If you have an ally that strong, and an army like that, you’ll welcome it with open arms.”

If you have very powerful allies, why hide them? Wouldn’t it be better to disclose the existence of such a powerful army to boost the morale of the allied forces?

That’s not wrong.

“However, everyone is feeling uneasy at the situation where they are just advancing without knowing why. Your Majesty, I think you should at least let the commanders know what is going on.”

Bertus listened quietly to those words.

In this situation, where there was no need to attack Gsonosia, it was inevitable that the commanders of each army were feeling confused.

Just as the emperor sits at the head seat of the Allied Forces General Headquarters, where all the representatives of each army are gathered, the seat to sit is determined according to the rank.

And, as a matter of course, the commander of Kernstadt, Louise von Schwarz, had to sit on the seat closest to the seat of honor.

‘How are you going to answer the emperor… … .’

Naturally, having witnessed the experiments at the Temple with her own eyes, she knew what the Allied Forces’ current situation meant.

Louise had no choice but to intuitively know that the army was moving. And the fact that she was powerful enough to attack a big city with that army alone made her nervous.

a strong army

However, it is an army whose source cannot be disclosed.

Despite the good fortune that the empire possesses an unidentified powerful army, the fact that they do not know the truth itself is a situation where commanders under the command show anxiety.

To tell the truth or not to tell

It was unknown which one would lead to a bigger crisis.

Louise also did not know which option would be better.

A secret is meant to spread more and more the more people know about it. So just to say that this Headquarters was building an army out of the dead was bound to come to a future where the entire Allied Forces would one day find out about it.

An ominous, uneasy silence ensues.

Just like that, the moment the emperor made a decision and opened his mouth.

“I don’t want to know.”

The voice that broke through the silence did not belong to the emperor.

Like Louise von Schwarz, a woman who sits very close to the seat of honor in the headquarters barracks conference room.

It was a resounding voice full of laughter that made me feel uncomfortable in an uneasy atmosphere.

“Am I the only one who thinks so?”

It was Rowen, the new commander of the Knights Templar.

* * *

In a situation where everyone was demanding the truth from the emperor, everyone was taken aback when the new commander of the Templars suddenly said that he would rather not know anything.

From the sudden change of the former head of the Knights Templar and the appointment of a new head of the Knights Templar, everyone is aware that a major political trend has occurred within the Odae Main Church. However, it is an internal matter, so few people know what it is.

Those in the know kept their mouths shut, so no one knew what the change of the Templar Commander meant.

Even if he is a newcomer, there is no one in this position who can ignore the commander of the Knights Templar.

Right now, the hierarchy within the allied forces is higher than most of the vassals, so the commander of the Knights Templar has a stronger say than the kings of quite a few countries.

Therefore, Rowen’s words were not of a nature that could be easily ignored.

“Captain, what does that mean?”

At the question of the person who asked for an explanation of the suspicion, Rowen tilted his head.

“It means that His Majesty the Emperor had a purpose and kept it a secret until now.”

The Emperor said nothing, and a suspicious silence hung in the hall.

“Didn’t all of you know at some point that there was a hidden force in the Allied Forces?”

“But the fact that we can’t reveal what it is or what the hidden power is so far means that there must be a reason why we can’t disclose it.”

“It’s hard to say even though it’s not a good thing that everyone is anxious like this, doesn’t it mean that it’s something you shouldn’t know?”

“So I just don’t want to know.”

“Because I believe that you are doing everything secretly because you have a meaning.”

Louise felt sick to her stomach at the words of the commander of the Knights Templar who said that she believed in the emperor.

I don’t know what the Demon King actually is, but Louise knows that Rowen hates the Empire.

She is even the one responsible for the massacre of the empire.

Seeing her disdain for the emperor with a calm expression made Louise feel angry.

‘Of course you know… … .’

Louise was upset knowing that Rowen was doing that knowingly.

“But if the Allies have an undisclosed history, it would be better to know… … . It is certain that it will be more helpful in planning future operations.”

“What if it’s the truth that would be more problematic for you to know?”

“what… … Called?”

“It is. Knowing doesn’t necessarily relieve anxiety, but there might be a truth that can make you more anxious, right? Don’t you understand that I said that there must be a reason that I can’t reveal?”

Rowen says with a soft smile.

“It is a power that should not be known externally. So, can you confidently say that you shouldn’t use that power anymore? It’s a power that is so helpful that we don’t have to fight for Gsonosia, which was expected to suffer massive power loss.”

If an ominous law or a cursed power.

If we say that the power obtained by holding the hand of a person who cannot help but be criticized externally or who should not be held is the hidden strength of the Allied Forces.

Are there any people present who can confidently claim that their power must not be used, and that this war must be ended with the Allied Forces alone?

“I don’t know what it is, but as far as I know, we all have no choice but to admit that the hidden power of the Allies, more precisely the hidden power of the Empire, is necessary for war.”

“If it’s a power that has no choice but to be kept secret, of course it’s not the right power, right?”

“But we knew that we had such a power, and if we knew it and were forced to remain silent, what would we become?”

“You are becoming an accomplice.”

It is unknown what kind of power the emperor wielded.

However, if it is true that the emperor touched that ominous, dark and evil power, knowing that is a problem.

The Emperor is leading the war with evil powers. However, if you remain silent because you need this power even after knowing the truth, you become an accomplice of the empire and the emperor.

“Shouldn’t you all be mindful that His Majesty is silent for our sake?”

At the words of the commander of the Knights Templar, everyone swallowed saliva with a firm expression.

What you don’t know is medicine.

In other circumstances, everyone felt that the words were right at least now.

There are things in the world that you should not know.

“Your Majesty wants to shoulder all the responsibilities alone, but isn’t it meaningless and too disrespectful of His Majesty’s consideration to try to share the burden?”

The commander of the Knights Templar wants to protect the emperor’s secret.

However, everyone in this room felt that it was never out of respect for the emperor.

only one sin

you don’t know the rest

Whatever it is, whatever evil tricks are involved.

The fact that the emperor didn’t say anything to the words of the commander of the Knights Templar, who was full of malice, in itself was already proof.

If the words of the commander of the Knights Templar are absurd speculations, there is no reason for the emperor to remain silent.

Even to say with almost half-certainty that the Imperial Emperor has committed a terrible, unforgivable sin is a huge insult to the Imperial Family, the Empire, and the Emperor himself.

No matter how great the prestige of the commander of the Knights Templar, it would be only the emperor.

Despite the fact that the commander of the Knights Templar had committed a very serious disrespect, the emperor did not say anything.

No one knows that the acceptance of that rudeness is proof that the emperor agrees.

Do you know how to become an accomplice?

Will you remain ignorant and later prepare an excuse that I didn’t know anything?

Rather, watching the silence in the hall full of people now afraid to know the truth, the emperor nodded slowly.

“Thank you, Commander of the Templars.”

The emperor looked at the commander of the Knights Templar with a cool gaze.

“What is it, Your Majesty?”

Rowen also smiled at the emperor, narrowing his eyes.

“… … .”

The cool confrontation between the two was watched by the Grand Duke of Saint-Ouan, who was sitting near the end of the stone.

* * *

When they succeeded in occupying Serandia, the allied forces were both sad and excited at the same time.

A lot of people died, but in the end, people had hope that the gate crisis could truly end, and it was a battle won.

However, all the Allies had to do was to collect, burn, and repeat the process of burning the monsters of Gsonosia, which had become ruins.

-What happened to the deal?

-Isn’t that what the warrior did?

-is it?

– It sounds like you have a huge army.

Soldiers as soldiers, and commanders as commanders, each had no choice but to say a word to each other in this strange and unknown situation.

When Gsonosia is cleared, the Allies will announce a new plan.

Even then, no one knows if it will be possible to pass without any battle.

-By the way, if it’s like this in the future, won’t we be needed?

-If you don’t need it, what are you going to do when you go back? Do you want to do more than just starve to death?

-Yes, I’d rather stay in the military.

-Anyway, that’s a good thing.

-then.

In the end, it is clear that everyone is grateful for today’s safety.

Allied garrison camp with a strange atmosphere where everyone was bewildered rather than delighted.

“After all, I haven’t been able to test Titan’s new equipment.”

In the tent where the Grand Duke’s troops were stationed, Adelia quietly muttered those words.

“Are you sorry?”

“Oh no! no! no! That, I don’t mean that!”

As Adelia waved her hand, the Archduke Saint-Ouane shook his head.

“… … It’s not a tree. It’s a pity that I didn’t confirm the Titan’s second maneuver.”

“ah… … . yes, me too… … .”

The Battle of Gsonosia was supposed to confirm the Titan’s second maneuver. I would have been able to check the condition of the improved Titan, secure the data, and know what to improve.

Depending on what you hear, it may sound like it’s regrettable that the battle didn’t take place.

The Grand Dukes of Adelia and Saint-Ouan, as well as the Grand Duke’s mages, were devoting their maximum time to improving Titan.

It’s not just the Battle of Gsonosia that’s gone.

There were also no battles at all places along the way.

No matter how busy she was with her studies, Adelia, who had no interest in the outside world, couldn’t help but feel that something was going on strangely.

“But really… … . What could it be?”

Adelia feels the same question that everyone feels.

An important battle has vanished in vain.

And nobody knows what happened. Even those who attended the General Headquarters meeting only knew that they would get hurt if they tried to know. Even that was said not by the emperor, but by the commander of the Templars.

The emperor barely opened his mouth.

The Archduke of Saint-Ouan also does not know what is going on.

“Adelia.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The Archduke Saint-Ouane sits down and talks while looking down at the Titan blueprints.

“If you could end this war by selling your soul to the devil, would you?”

“… … ?”

Adelia couldn’t help but be bewildered by the Grand Duke’s sudden question.

sell your soul to the devil

There was also a common legend that the Great Demons would lend magic power to warlocks through such contracts, but no one knows whether or not such a story was true. It could just be a story made up to make the demons afraid, or there could have been such cases.

It is just an idiomatic expression.

sell your soul to the devil

In return, end this war.

At the Archduke’s question, Adelia is silently lost in thought.

It is such a great tragedy.

An excessively great tragedy has occurred.

All you need in exchange for ending this war is your own soul.

But the one in front of him is the Archduke of Saint-Ouane.

He is also a friend and father to Adelia, but they are a family of docile wizards who are famous for not even touching evil powers.

It was never a wise thing to say that you were selling your soul to the devil in front of him.

“… … I wonder if I will.”

Even so, Adelia had no choice but to give such an answer.

Isn’t that too cheap?

If I could pay the price of my soul, my life, to stop these tears and blood, wouldn’t there be an overflow of people who would do that?

Even after speaking, Adelia couldn’t help but carefully look at the Archduke of Saint-Ouan, wondering if she had made a mistake.

The Archduke of Saint-Ouan laughs bitterly.

“… … I think so too.”

“… … .”

Even the Grand Duke of Saint-Ouan, who lived with long-held beliefs, said so.

This war is too horrific to the extent that he would make such a choice if given the opportunity, abandoning his old family honor and even his own convictions.

‘The emperor made that choice.’

Knowing that he would do the same, the Grand Duke of Saint-Ouan could not help but know that he had reached out to some kind of evil, even if he did not know specifically what the emperor had done.
