Chapter 223
Chapter 223 Advance of Black Panties (2)
The defeated Harmel Empire ruled the eastern part of Arcadia's 2nd continent.
Those who tried to swallow the entire continent, starting with the Barmal Empire, which was entangled in a long-standing evil relationship, had no choice but to be embarrassed by the unexpected power that suddenly appeared.
“Kiaaaaaang! die!”
puffer pung. Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam.
Mysterious adventurers who all wrapped up their black panties somewhere and rushed into ignorance. However, because there were so many of them that they could not count, the Harmel Empire had no choice but to panic at the huge number of wide-area attacks they poured out.
“Keugh..... Counterattack! Fight back!”
“Don’t back down and kill them all!”
The elite of the Harmel Empire, war veterans who have gone through all the battles. Even though Deck Fan Mu said that only those with a high level were gathered among the users, the overall ability was weaker than those of them, so those who had experienced combat once glimpsed hope.
“Don't be afraid! These guys... there are a lot of them, they're like scarecrows! Kill them all!”
Deck fan dances that are dyed gray and collapsed with just one simple knife. The commanders of the Harmel Empire, who judged them to be ragtag, shouted with determination to not back down in the slightest.
“For the glory of the Harmel Empire!”
The Harmel Empire's troops shouted with determination to win this war without fail. And Deck Fan Mu, who rushed at them with ignorance, also shouted with a serious face as if he would not be pushed back.
“For Black!”
“I need to know the brand of Dex’s panties! Don't interrupt!”
A fight for the glory of the empire and the panty brand(?).
The battle between the Harmel Empire and Deckpanmu took place on an unknown plain that began like that. This battle ended without leaving a clear winner and stained the plains with great blood.
And those who watched the battle live-streamed left their own impressions.
-Ah.....
-Those crazy guys.....
-One side fights for the glory of the empire, and the other side fights over a brand of panties..... Damn it.
* * *
The first clash between Deck Fanmu and the Harmel Empire.
Upon hearing this, Prince Dmitri smashed the desk in anger.
Quaang.
“What the hell are you talking about! Losing 30% of the elite forces!”
Prince Dmitry, who is commanding the Imperial Army in the rear. He screamed in disbelief at the fact that there was a huge power loss due to the anomaly happening ahead. However, no matter how much he teased the messenger, the painful reality that had already unfolded did not change.
“The adventurers who prevented the occupation of Fern Fortress have gathered in large numbers. It's estimated... 700,000 adventurers are marching towards the Harmel Empire beyond defending the Bamal Empire!”
“What? 700,000...?”
A force of 700,000 suddenly popped out of nowhere. No matter how many tens of millions of adventurers live all over the continent, it was very unusual for 700,000 people to gather as one, so Dmitri shouted in amazement at the number beyond imagination. And then, his face twisted hideously and he looked around.
“The top of GM! Where has GM Sangsanju gone!”
When it comes to adventurers, GM Sang Sangju knows better than anyone else. Dmitri looked around at the crowds gathered in the barracks, but there was no one associated with the GM corps anywhere. And one of the staff said to him with a serious expression.
“According to the instructions you gave earlier, I ordered my subordinates to search for it... but it seems to have disappeared. I can't see all the adventurers who belonged to the GM guild, including the GM guild.”
“what....?”
As usual, he would have hovered around him and reflected his face in order to somehow get some rice cakes. When the envy disappeared in a delicate situation, Dmitri put on a puzzled expression, then quickly gnashed his teeth and said,
“I can’t believe... they didn’t plan all of this, did they?”
“That won't be it. There is no benefit to them if we lose while entrusted to the Harmel Empire.”
The GM Merchants, who made a huge investment for the victory of the Harmel Empire in this war, not enough to sacrifice the Dragonborn. Dmitri's thoughts became more and more complicated, as he knew very well that if he did not win this war, he would suffer a devastating blow.
“But... I guess I'll have to check. It is certainly incomprehensible that everyone has disappeared.”
The Duke of Diern cautiously expresses his opinion. At his words, Dmitry nodded and ordered someone.
“Find out all those who are related to the GM corps. And find out what they've been planning and bring their top lords to me.”
“All right.”
After a few men left the barracks to do his bidding, Dmitri took a deep breath and sat down again.
“So, what is the current situation on the front?”
“It is judged that the loss of troops will be maximized in continuous battles, so we avoid direct engagement and are currently confronting in the Faisal Manor... but we are in desperate need of support. You run the risk of being isolated.”
The situation in the confrontation in the territory of the Bamal Empire that was occupied earlier. However, the scale of the enemy was huge beyond imagination, and there were many territories that had not yet been occupied, so if the engagement was prolonged, the Harmel Empire would be at a disadvantage. So, Dmitri decided to use the trump card he had been saving up until now, and ordered it.
“Call the Mage Tower’s reinforcements.”
* * *
Mages called the flowers of large-scale battlefields.
Although they required enormous preparation time and enormous mana, they were strategic weapons boasting tremendous firepower that could take away the lives of hundreds of soldiers and even knights trained to the extreme with just one spell.
[We need to create a combat corps made up of wizards only. As long as we can operate a magic corps made up of high-ranking wizards, we can effectively deal with any large-scale army!]
Therefore, all countries, including the Harmel Empire, have invested enormous amounts of gold and manpower to mass-produce high-ranking wizards on their own, but as a result was terribly miserable.
[Gold is not what a high-ranking mage needs to be born. Intense and persistent research of the individual himself. And the realization gained from in-depth discussions and intellectual exchanges with other wizard colleagues. In addition, a true great wizard is born in the ivory tower of knowledge accumulated by previous wizards for hundreds... thousands of years.] When it comes to
magic, except for dragons, the magic tower has made unrivaled progress. Because they were extremely closed and monopolized the information they had accumulated, wizards had no choice but to belong to the Mage Tower, whether they liked it or not.
“Oh, what can I do? Even if you have talent, if you don't have a magic book to study, it's over.”
“No matter how good the Empire's support is, it seems that the 4th circle is the limit.”
That's why many countries including the Harmel Empire were able to mass-produce low-level mages with relatively low level on their own, but failed to mass-produce the high-level mages they really needed.
And as a result, the Mage Tower was able to solidify its own unique position and stand tall. Having been promised a huge amount of dragon bones by the Harmel Empire, he stood in the position of a lender of strength in this war.
“What the hell are you talking about? Get out of the war!”
Jamie, a 6th-circle mage who shouts at the communication crystal ball in a high-pitched voice. Despite her embarrassing question, the voice of Galai, the head of the Blue Mage Tower, heard through the crystal ball was more determined than ever.
[This is an agreement reached by all five Mage Towers. Since a serious problem occurred in the contract with the Harmel Empire, it was decided to completely invalidate the previous contract.]
“A serious problem? What the hell is that...?”
She couldn't understand the Mage Tower's decision to pull out, saying that there was a problem with a strict, serious face, whenever she signed the contract, her eyes widened at the word that she would distribute the Dragon Bones.
[There was a separate owner of the dragon bone that was supposed to be shared with us.]
“Yes...?”
Jamie asked back with an absurd expression, “What the hell is that?” However, Gallia nodded and said it was true.
[I have already met and talked with the owner. If you find the Dragon Bone intact from the Harmel Empire and return it, we will pay for it separately.]
“Reward...? No wait. Just give back the dragon bones? As it is in a calm state?”
Nothing else, just like Dragonborn.
It was a huge amount that could have been shared among the 5 Magic Towers, so when Gallia said that she would give it all up and return it to the original owner, she asked with a crazy look.
“Even if there is a separate owner, Lord of the Tower, it is just like the Dragonborn. That's a huge amount too. Are you just going to return it?”
A decision that a normal member of the Magic Tower would never understand. It was better to gulp down all the dragon bones and swear at them, but she couldn't understand the fact that they were just returning them, so she protested violently.
[They said they would give you a circle 8 magic book as a reward. That's 2 volumes.]
“Yeah...? what?”
But even she couldn't help but freeze at the words of Gallia who smirked.
8 circles.
A transcendental state that no one in the Magic Tower has reached.
Because it is a state that the dragon did not allow, only some traces left by the dragon's disciples exist. There was no 8th circle mage in perfect condition anywhere in the mage tower, so Jaime's face was filled with disbelief at Galia's words.
[It's hard to believe, but it's true. Because the existence of the 8th Circle Magic Book has been officially confirmed not only by our Mage Tower, but also by other Mage Towers. You don’t have to worry about it being false.]
“Then really...?”
The first 8th circle magic book.
Of course, she was only a 6th Circle wizard who had not reached the level of understanding it, but excitement began to rise on her face as she knew that she could gain great enlightenment only with higher concepts and knowledge.
[First of all... it failed to make those magic towers entirely our own, but we still agreed to take turns analyzing each other, sharing related data, and conducting joint research.] A dramatic agreement reached by the 5 lords of the Magic Tower
. It was decided to turn the magic book peacefully, so Gallia told her with a satisfied smile.
[So immediately notify the prince there that you are canceling the related contract, and withdraw immediately.]
“Okay.”
Where did the dissatisfaction from earlier go? To her, Galia continued talking as if she had forgotten.
[Oh. In the meantime, would you like to convey one more position of the Mage Towers to the Harmel Empire?]
“The position of the Mage Towers?”
Gallia rummaged through the pile of parchment inside the crystal ball. Jamie, who watched his actions carefully, saw him take one out.
[The statement I just made... No, I should say it's a warning. Anyway... I'm going to deliver it to the Harmel Empire, so I thought it would be nice if you said something in advance.]
“What is it?”
Jamie asked with a curious face. To her, Gallia cleared her throat and began to read the positions of the 5 Mage Towers written earlier.
[Eh.... The 5th Mage Tower expresses deep regret for the war between the Harmel Empire and the Bamal Empire that took place this time and the unnecessary sacrifice of life that took place as a result. Also...]
The entrance statement of the Mage Towers, which begins by expressing formal and conventional regrets and concerns about this war. A statement full of miscellaneous rhetoric. And at the end of this boring statement, like the principal's instruction, there was a real main point that they wanted to do to the Harmel Empire.
[As a result of their own investigation into the circumstances that led to this war, the Harmel Empire confirmed that the recently acquired Dragon Bone was illegally plundered, and the 5 Mage Towers were astonished. Feeling deeply disappointed and condemning the despicable
act that tarnishes the high glory and honor of the Empire.
[Therefore, the 5 Magic Towers officially request the Harmel Empire to return the stolen Dragon Bone to its original owner. We declare that we will actively intervene in this war to reclaim the Dragon Bone, the treasure of the world, from those who are dishonorable.]
Their blackmail threats to obtain the 8th Circle Spellbook.
