[ Episode 404. Crisis in the mountains]
I cleaned up all the Chiras and returned to the Huxiang family’s mansion. The streets were full of people and everyone was chanting Mushid and Babak.
“Long live the Huxiang family!”
“Long live Musid Husham! Long live Burbak Hushang!”
It was a scene of madness outside that could be heard even from inside the mansion.
“sorry. It seems like I stole all of Adrias’s balls…….”
“I don’t care.”
What am I going to do with a ball in a desert like this?
In the first place, he didn’t organize the chiras hoping for sothing.
“Even if it’s sothing you want…”
Mousid ca out with a low profile, perhaps because he was uneasy with my attitude, but rather than a reward, he asked if he knew anything.
“Do you know anything about those chiras?”
“You an monsters? I don’t really know anything…….”
It seed that he misunderstood the question, asking about the identity of the Chira. Seeing him blurring the end of his speech, I felt the need for a more specific question.
“Do you not know when or where it appeared?”
“ah! If that’s the case, I’ve heard from my tribesn!”
Just in ti, a bug ca out and said.
“About six hours east of the city there is a huge sand rock. Personnel who witnessed it said it climbed from the ground near the boulder.”
“Has anyone been around?”
“It is said that there were none other than our tribesn.”
I thought it was related to the emperor, but wasn’t it together? Then the emperor seed likely to be where Evan was.
‘Maybe he went to check the traces of gluttony left in Jakata.’
should i go back
For now, I have to wait for Evan to co, but I feel a bit impatient.
Hurry up and get rid of the obstacle of being the emperor and find the arrogant……
Kungkung!
There was a knock on the parlor door and a voice ca from outside.
“What?”
“The chieftain has arrived!”
“person?”
“It is said that it is Adrias-sama’s person.”
“Co on, take !”
Mouchid replied with an almost spinal cord reflex.
anyway you’re my man Who do you think ca?
“Oh oh? Noah!”
Soon the door opened and the two entered. And towards them, Luna sprinted with a vicious snake in her hand.
“Ivy Noah.”
These are people you never thought of.
“haha! welco. Mr. Adrias, we will step aside for a mont.”
“yes. thank you.”
Looking at the Hushangs who had left their seats on their own, he lowered his head slightly, then saw the Claire sisters approaching.
“It’s been a while since you two.”
“What are you talking about, I saw it a while ago.”
Noah grumbled, then sighed and sat down in a nearby seat. Because I ca to see Nebro’s past, I forgot the last ti I saw and broke up with Cromwell.
“Whoa.”
As soon as Ivy ca in, she started smoking. It’s really been a while since Ivy. But I didn’t know you would co to see with Noah.
“It’s been a while, Ivy. I never thought you would co with Noah.”
“Oh, it’s been a while.”
Still feeling cool, she threw the cigarette she had smoked several tis on the floor and extinguished it with her foot.
“You don’t know that I was working for Cromwell?”
“Is Ivy under ?”
“Not under you, Cromwell.”
That’s what it ans. I’ve never heard of it. When?
“I lost my job and got a job with the help of my younger brother.”
“Welco.”
Ivy is always welco. It takes a little while to hate warlocks…
‘You must have known, right?’
Looking at Luna, she didn’t show anything, so it seed like she already knew everything.
“I’ll give you the information first.”
After Ivy and I finished talking, Noah opened his mouth. I wondered why he had co, and he seed to have co all the way here to deliver information.
“It looks like there was an uproar here too, but now Chiras are going wild all over the continent. The scale is beyond imagination.”
“Across the continent?”
Doesn’t this only happen in Shaiya?
At the mont when his eyes were slightly frowned at the unexpected scale, Noah continued.
“It also appeared near Cromwell.”
“Are you all right?”
“I must have co because I am safe, right?”
As Noah said, his face hardened.
“The important thing is this behind the scenes.”
“Is there anything more important?”
“uh. We are collecting information by operating our organization as much as possible, but the movents of the Chiras are unusual.”
“How specifically?”
“All the marching directions are toward our territory.”
There was definitely sothing about this…
No matter how much you think about it, you can’t help but think that it was intentional that they were aiming for Cromwell and flocking from all sides.
“There are about 200,000 of them.”
“200,000…!”
Luna, who was next to her, put her finger on her face with a surprised expression. Luna, it would take 100 years to count all 200,000 with her small hands.
“You are crazy.”
“So my back hurts. That’s why I ca to you right away as soon as I found out.”
200,000 chira troops…….
I was confident that I would win in the end if I fought to the limit, but from my point of view, the real threat did not seem to have erged yet.
“I’m trying to find out who did it, but the only thing I can guess is the empire. To be exact, the Rodelian family.”
“I think so.”
“What did you know?”
What I was worried about was the Empire itself rather than the 200,000 Chira army. If I, as a necromancer, squeezed in a simple amount, I could eventually overco it, but superhumans were different.
If the chira belonged to the emperor, it would have been possible for superhumans under the emperor’s orders to attack Cromwell.
“Please keep an eye on the dynamics of the empire. I would like to ask you to focus on superhumans in particular.”
“Why is the imperial family aiming for Cromwell so far?”
Seeing Noah questioning as if interrogating , I naturally thought of original sin.
“The emperor wants sothing from … Ah.”
As I was talking, there was a fact that suddenly ca to my mind.
The original sin was on , but it was clear that the emperor was unaware of it. That’s why they’re targeting Cromwell, not .
“I must go back.”
Capturing the emperor was important, but protecting Cromwell was more important.
“The important stuff? what is that?”
“The thing the emperor had been aiming for since long ago was in the family. I have it now.”
“Is that why you’re doing this?”
I don’t have an excessive feeling, but I fully understood. Because the emperor knew original sin as a kind of key and was thinking absurdly.
‘I guess he’s acting as strong as he knows the importance of original sin.’
There was only a blind desire to trample and take away without any romance.
“ and Luna will go back to Cromwell first. The two of you, please co with Evan. He will probably co here soon.”
“okay.”
“Ah, on the way, please bring the godfather and Maximin together. Both of you are nearby or will be here soon to finish your business.”
He stood up from his seat and mumbled. As long as he was openly targeting Cromwell using a chira, there was no law against using superhumans, so he beca impatient.
“I checked.”
“Be careful, Adrias.”
Noah nodded to and Ivy patted my shoulder and said.
Soon Luna got up after and we went outside.
“Ah, is the story over? I will speak to the tribal chief.”
“no. We have to go back right now, so let’s go. Please take care of just the two of us.”
“yes? yes. I will tell the tribal chief.”
When I said that I was leaving suddenly, the tribal chief’s subordinate who was guarding the door looked embarrassed, but soon saw off with a salute motion unique to a desert tribe.
“It’s urgent, it’s urgent!”
Luna walked ahead, swinging her short legs. I wanted to watch him a little more because he seed cute and cheering on, but right now, as she said, my heart was in a hurry.
“I will ride the Luna Krivmacher.”
“oh! good!”
If it was Nebro, I would have used space movent magic quickly, but it was impossible for . Even if my magic skills improved, it wasn’t that I beca better at what I was good at, so I couldn’t do things I couldn’t do.
– Crow, wow, wow!
“shut up.”
In an instant, Luna was placed on the summoned Kriebmacher’s back, followed by Luna.
“Let’s go to Cromwell.”
-…….
Kriebmacher, who looked a bit pouty, spread his huge wings and flew up.
“It’s a dragon!”
“It’s the dragon that guarded the black scorpion!”
I felt the already noisy streets beco noisy due to the sudden appearance of Kriebmacher.
“Adrias!”
Musid heard the news and ca out belatedly and heard the sound of shouting.
“thanked! Please co back anyti! Adrias is the eternal benefactor of the Huxiang family, or the Black Scorpion!”
The distance grew so quickly that the last words sounded almost faint.

“It’s black magic.”
With a serious expression on her face, Diene Alven examined the body of the Chira lying in the clearing. It was a sample that Isabelle had brought as an example.
“Chiras aren’t necessarily created with black magic, but this is for sure.”
“It’s not just black magic…This is pretty complicated, isn’t it? How did you mass-produce sothing like this?”
Receiving Diene’s words, Lucia murmured. It was a question that could arise because they had already heard the confusion that had occurred in various parts of the continent through their ears.
“Each mara is of a fairly high level, and I can’t believe that there are over 10,000 units like this.”
“Umm……”
Amy, who had been listening to their conversation, touched her lips with a troubled face. Then, after annihilating the chiras alone, he ca back and said to Isabelle, who was drinking tea.
“It’s hard to believe, but the news is that chiras from all over the world are marching in the direction of our territory. The estimated number is a whopping 200,000…….”
“Don’t worry too much.”
Isabelle smiled at Amy, looking like she hadn’t fought a battle at all.
“Numbers are aningless in front of . In front of not only , but also strong people who have surpassed a certain level, it is aningless even if the opponent is an army of 1 million.”
Everyone’s mouths fell shut at Isabel’s arrogant words. However, in reality, I had no choice but to believe that it was Isabel, who had been single-handedly subjugating a large army of chiras that numbered close to several thousand.
“What we have to worry about is the intent of the perpetrators.”
“ah!”
Everyone nodded their heads in realization at Isabelle’s heart-piercing words.
“You are right. A chira is the product of a wizard. There must be soone’s intention that such guys are aiming for this place in groups.”
“The intelligence organization believes that the Royal Family of Rodlenn is the most influential…”
Amy thought of Adrias while she was talking. I already heard him to so extent, but the emperor of the empire and the Cromwell family had already crossed an irreversible river.
“I will contact my father first. As long as I am here, my father will not be able to ignore this place.”
At Diene’s words, Amy bowed in gratitude.
“Thank you for caring .”
“no. Compared to the help I received from Adrias, the fact that I can’t do sothing on my own is just unfortunate.”
“Thank you again, though.”
“I’ll go get in touch right away.”
Diene went straight to get in touch, but stopped when she saw soone hurriedly approaching.
“The lord’s deputy.”
“What happen?”
Maria, Amy’s secretary, said in the calst voice possible, catching her breath.
“The Empire is on the move.”
“yes?”
“This is information that the retreating troops of the Empire are targeting Cromwell. It is news that even those who were defeated in Morheim are gathering.”
“…….”
Everyone froze at the unexpected news. However, that was not the end of the information Maria delivered.
“Twelve Aura Masters, roughly twenty Warlocks. The number of superhumans alone is over thirty.”
“…Are superhumans also participating in the war?”
“I’m not sure, but based on the movents I’ve identified, it seems likely.”
The complexion of those gathered in the seat turned pale at the sound of bad news piling up.
“200,000 chiras, plus the imperial troops and over thirty superhumans.”
“This makes it clear that the Chira belongs to the imperial family.”
Lucia laughed and said. It was an expression of amazent at the incredible power difference.
“The lord’s deputy.”
“Please speak.”
“I wonder if you would consider taking refuge in Morhai.”
Maria calmly advised. Amy also felt that her words had so truth.
“But what about the people of the territory who believed in us and remained in the territory until now?”
“…….”
Maria did not answer. With Chiras already approaching from all sides, there was no way for the territories to evacuate.
“Even if we stay here, we will die together.”
“Can I survive if I run away?”
“At least there will be a chance.”
Following Maria’s words, Louis, who had been quietly watching until then, spoke up.
“You can live. As much as I promised to you, I will keep it.”
When Louis, who had beco Amy’s escort driver, spoke confidently, everyone’s eyes turned to Amy.
“I……”
After thinking for a while, Amy finally began to speak slowly.
