Episode 1379. Death… That’s a great na.
Fabian, who had left Ariette Albano behind, returned to his lodgings late at night.
Elio, who was looking at the night view of the islands, glanced at him and said,
“Where is this guy with no money and what are you doing now?”
“I took a lap around the neighborhood. How did you go?”
“I couldn’t et you because the tower owner ran away.”
“Are you running away?”
“I guess the Adria Kingdom told about it. He left a letter telling him not to look for him and fled. A mage who becos the owner of a tower has a thick face.”
“I guess he was afraid of Count Lagoa to the extent that he lost his face.”
Fabian could understand the escape of the Marquis Juliana Leola.
Count Lagoa is not a person who considers high or low status when using his hands.
If Yuliana or Marquis Leola had been in the Mage Tower, they would surely have died.
“If you get to know , there is no one as fragile as .”
“Where does Lord Lagoa look so young?”
“Isn’t it soft?”
“Is soone like that killing the pri minister with a silver candlestick?”
“I did that to scare the kings of the Southern Kingdom. Otherwise, it seed like he would keep knocking on . Then you will have to see more blood.”
To be honest, Elio was greatly shocked by Baron Sophia’s warrior this ti.
It’s because the Adria kingdom killed an acquaintance to buy a magic gun.
That ant that his presence as a grand master was weakening.
They said that the status of knights and wizards had fallen, so is that why?
“Wasn’t that enough courtesy for kings?”
“Did you say polite? What are you misunderstanding, do you know why you survived in Tamion?”
“That’s because Count Lagoa was by his side.”
“that’s right. Even those simple ignorant demons feared to the point that they couldn’t touch you. But look at the recent trend. The Imperial Army captured you and tortured you, and the Adria Kingdom killed Baron Sophia. Can you still say that you were polite?”
“Listening to the words, that’s how it is again.”
“The Empire trusted the special forces of the Imperial Army ard with excitium and did such a thing. But what is there in Adria Kingdom? There is nothing but a steel golem that has beco a lump of scrap tal. Isn’t it strange?”
“Is that why you left Count Omar in Adria?”
“There must be sothing hidden besides the apparent reason.”
“What is it?”
“It might be a weapon capable of turning the tide of battle, like Axisium or Artenium.”
“It would be nice if it was sothing like artenium.”
“why?”
“I feel like the world will end if another destructive weapon like Excitium appears.”
Elio looked out the window.
Suddenly, the words of the god Antar (the god of demons) I t in the Abyss ca to mind.
The world created by Shaytin (evil spirits) was destroyed by the Titans (the race of Mana Phrases).
Then…
“If the world of Fabian Mana Phrass perishes, will it beco the world of the evil god Shaitin again?”
“A world of great chaos? no way How can this world change overnight?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Of course not.”
“By the way. Originally, it was the evil god Shaitin who created this world.”
“According to Antar’s unilateral claim, it was.”
Fabian had a hard ti accepting it, so he attached a long quadrupedal leg.
“Anyway, Mana Phrass also changed the world of evil gods as he wanted. If that’s the case, aren’t evil gods capable of that too?”
“Then is it changing like Tamion or the unexplored lands of the Abyss? It would be nice to see demons walking around the city in broad daylight.”
“Is there any ti to see? People would be reduced to the status of livestock.”
“Ugh! It gives chills just thinking about it.”
“By the way. Ushas Undra is the ‘vanguard of chaos’. Is that a feat so great that the demons even built a temple?”
“So, will you build a temple?”
For a mont, Elio thought of ‘confusion’ and ‘destruction’, then shook his head.
As Fabian said, the world cannot change overnight.
***
Wires jiggle again.
After two months of supplies, the imperial army left Feromuros.
The imperial army ard with excitium swept across the Adria Kingdom like a tidal wave.
The southern kingdom army was pushed helplessly.
They didn’t even put an iron golem on the front line at all.
Even if I took out the steel golem, it beca a beehive in Excitium, so I stole it to the rear.
It is not that there are no musketeers in the Southern Kingdom, but the number was too small compared to the Imperial Army.
The main axis of the southern kingdom army was still knights and swordsn, and the musketeers were only in an auxiliary position.
Naturally, the southern kingdom army was swept away by the imperial army, which consisted of musketeers.
In four days, the imperial army occupied the capital, Krasion.
It almost equaled the speed of a stagecoach, causing a stir in the South.
“The southern kingdom army, represented by knights and wizards, has been pushed back by gunfire!”
“The southern kingdom army must also be reorganized around the gunn!”
“The world has changed with Excitium!”
“At this rate, the southern kingdom will perish!”
“Why doesn’t the northern kingdom fulfill its alliance obligations!”
“Arise, northern kingdom! The Empire will occupy the North after the South!”
People’s attention was focused on the Musketeers, Excitium, and the actions of the Northern Kingdom.
The iron golem, once called the ruler of the battlefield, was not even ntioned.
and after a fortnight.
The army of the southern kingdom, pushed to the border, retreated from Adria to the adjacent Kingdom of Salam.
The Imperial Army occupied the Shade Kingdom and then the Adria Kingdom.
Around that ti, the 7 divisions of the Southern Kingdom Army, which had been concentrated in the Dnirov Kingdom, moved to the Salam Kingdom.
Unlike them, the 6 divisions of the Southern Kingdom Army, which had gathered in the Ureum Kingdom, advance to the Shade Kingdom.
It was a blitzkrieg operation to cut off the long stretched imperial army supply route.
However, 6 divisions of the southern kingdom army were defeated by 1 division of Notos’s imperial army and eventually retreated to the kingdom of Ureum.
The incident, called the ‘Battle of Notos’, once again swept the southern kingdom of ‘the knights and swordsman’s futility’.
The southern kingdom, which had revered knights and wizards for a long ti, was greatly shocked by the results of the ‘Battle of Notos’.
Even the royal family and the great nobility now had to admit the change.
“The gunman is the answer.”
“Reorganize the army!”
The southern kingdoms in the rear were eager to supply magic guns.
They poured all of the kingdom’s finances into purchasing magic guns.
On the one hand, they said it was already too late, but on the other hand, they insisted that now was the right ti.
Fortunately, among the misfortunes, the production of magic guns was common in the Mage Tower.
The Mage Tower is not unique to the Empire.
The famous mage tower advanced into the empire, but its roots also remained in the kingdom.
Magic engineers who can make strategic weapons like Axisium are in the empire, but magic guns can be produced in the kingdom’s mage tower.
Of course, its performance did not reach that of the Imperial Mage Tower, but at least it was better than the bow.
The southern kingdoms in the rear got rid of knights and swordsn like the imperial army and reorganized their armies with musketeers.
The magic gun was still lacking, but I tried my hand at what I could do first.
***
Kingdom of Salam.
King Dares.
Old City Majid.
Raoul Brosnan, king of Adria who fled to the Kingdom of Salam, stayed at Majid Castle in Dares, the capital of the kingdom.
There, I always waited for a call from Magenta, the black market manager.
Because it was a prepared refuge, he had the royal family’s wealth and troops intact.
Wizards considered the contract as their life, so they didn’t worry about the magic gun.
The problem is that it is a new weapon comparable to Excitium.
It’s been quite a while since I heard that the developnt was almost finished, but since then, there has been no news, so it’s crazy.
Although they lost their country, the kings of the southern kingdom treated them more hospitably than in the past.
It’s reasonable to say that they’ve almost finished developing a new weapon to fight Excitium.
Even today, King Raoul Brosnan stood at the window and looked at Majid’s door.
‘Magenta, the future of the southern kingdom depends on you.’
It shouldn’t be too late.
If the southern kingdoms are all occupied by the imperial army, the new weapon will be useless.
‘Mana Phrass! Please open a way to live in the southern kingdom.’
Despite his earnest wishes, Magenta didn’t even show his nose.
***
Londinium Empire.
Islands Petropolis Nam-gu.
Adobe Magic Tower.
At that ti, Magenta was visiting Adobe Magic Tower with an old magic engineer.
Count Vasco Fiorenza, the owner of the Adobe Mage Tower, greeted you with a bright smile.
“welco. Mr gistus. It is an honor to serve the noble Arch Mage.”
Arch Mage is a title for those who have reached the peak of magic engineering.
Vasco Fiorenza humbled himself despite being the owner of the Mage Tower.
A smile appeared on gistus’ wrinkled face.
“Whoops. It was nothing. But you want my advice?”
gistus, the magic engineer of the Tabula Tower, went straight to the point.
“Yes, actually, our mage tower recently developed a substance similar to excitium. Our magic engineers say that if the core material is different, the developer’s rights are not violated… We invited them because we wanted to confirm that part.”
gistus, one of the developers of Excitium, nodded happily.
“you’re right. The key ingredient in axitium is rubidonium. Maybe it’s made of rubidonium and other alchemy ingredients? Excitium is like that, so how can we be greedy? As long as it’s not a clone of rubidonium, that’s fine.”
The complexion of Count Vasco Fiorenza, who had been listening with a nervous expression, brightened.
“There is no rubidonium in our products. What we used is a new material called Noblum.”
“Can I check it out?”
“You should.”
Without a word, Count Vasco Fiorenza took gistus to the Magic Engineering Lab.
Adobe Mage Tower Magic Engineering Lab.
Count Vasco Fiorenza glanced at the middle-aged magic engineer.
The magic engineer moved to a corner with a magic gun.
On the wall side, a steel part was erected from sowhere.
Count Vasco Fiorenza said, pointing to the steel parts.
“It is a steel part that is part of a steel golem. It is said that you cannot even inflict scratches with a magic gun.”
Then, the magic engineer fired the magic gun.
‘pop!’ With a sound, the blue light from the magic gun spread out in a straight line.
Before long, a hole the size of an adult finger was pierced in a large steel part.
After a while, the magic engineer pulled out a magic bullet the size of two fingers put together from the magic gun and handed it to the tower owner.
Count Vasco Fiorenza said after placing the magic bullet on the alchemy table.
“If you analyze it, you will find that there is no rubidonium. It is a new substance made of noblemium and other alchemy materials.”
Of course, other new materials are the sa as excitium, but I didn’t say that.
gistus, who was examining the dismantling of the magic bullet with a curious face, nodded.
“indeed! No rubidonium. As the sole survivor of the developnt team, I will not claim my exclusive rights to this new material.”
At the mont, the magicians of the Adobe Mage Tower said, ‘Wow!’ and cheered.
In fact, the new material they made was the sa as excitium, only the main material was different.
It was enough to say that the magic engineers were stabbed and secretly brought the developer.
The developer of Excitium gave an indulgence to the new material.
gistus, who was looking at the magic engineers who were at a loss for what to do, asked.
“By the way, what is the na of this new substance?”
“I nad it Thanatos.”
“Death… that’s a great na. I admired the level of technology of the Adobe Mage Tower. Then I’m done.”
The corners of gistus’ mouth went up slightly as he turned around after refusing to bow to the tower owner.
