Chapter 329
TL: Zimmings
Of course, all the boundaries surrounding the territory were not loosened just because they were teleported.
Soon after, reinforcements flocked in.
Perhaps because Constantine told them, they did not approach us directly.
Instead, archers and mages were placed in front.
A magic mirror appeared in the air.
I can see Andre who is very angry in the mirror. Behind him, I can see the nobles who hold the voting rights of the state council.
[If you surrender now and ask for forgiveness, you will be spared.]
Andre said but I laughed out loud.
“Why should I ask for forgiveness when I’m innocent? How can it be a sin for the landlord to go home?”
[Your territory committed a felony because they caused the soldiers who were deployed under the imperial family to revolt.]
“What sins have we committed that we cannot even go to the territory?”
[The arrest was done to control Dubblede, which poses a threat to state power. Dubblede’s future will be discussed at a meeting ]
“Nonsense!”
Andre’s expression turned harsh as I spoke.
[How dare you insult the imperial family!]
“On what basis did you classify Dubbldede as a threat? Is this the regent’s nonsense?”
[This…!]
“In an empire that advocates fairness, if the freedom of the family was suppressed only by the choice of the regent, then it’s tyranny.”
I said, looking straight at Andre.
“Dubblede, a member of the five dukes, will uphold the oath of the family and correct the imperial injustice.”
Henry, Isaac, and Dubblede’s knights pulled out swords and surrounded me.
Andre in the magic mirror shouted.
[Immediately arrest that girl who dishonored the regent and send her to prison!]
The Imperial forces immediately entered the offensive posture.
I counted the time inside.
‘Three minutes after moving the mages of the North Gate.’
Since the mages have been moved quite a bit, the barrier must have weakened.
Since I made a loud noise in advance, a vassal with jurisdiction near the North Gate must have contacted the chairman.
The chairman would have quickly issued an emergency order and summoned the mages.
The signal from the tower in the territory to reach the mages and soldiers throughout the territory is exactly 10 minutes.
However, it takes time for all the mages to gather and break the barrier.
‘I have to do something.’
“Constantine Brivi was talking about strange things. Do you think I can’t summon a devil by stealing God’s blessing? Who said so?”
[What?]
“God’s blessings are engraved on the soul.”
[Wha- what?]
“In other words, even if you steal the maintenance device, I can summon it.”
For example, the first time I summoned Boone, or when Mina summoned Amy.
I searched my pocket and took out the jewelry.
He was bewildered when he saw the strangely colored tourmaline, while the holy knights retreated.
This was probably because the holy knights knew that the devil was summoned through the passage of jewels.
I used my diving power.
Then a pillar of light was formed.
The commander of the holy knights shouted.
“Leblaine Dubblede summons the devil! Go back!”
Yes, go back.
‘But it’s fake!’
Would I foolishly waste my divine power while on a war with the temple?
‘If a devil is summoned, it will not return without me granting its wish.’
Didn’t they know that?
The holy knights were terrified as mu divine power vibrated and created a slight earthquake.
Andre and the nobles were also surprised.
[Th- that can’t be…!]
In other words, “It’s absurd”, “Impossible!” They denied it, but there was also a glimpse of fear in their eyes.
They watched everything from the interrogation case to the vacant lot war. Some experienced that the power of the devil transcends human common sense.
I shouted at the mage.
“I warn you. If you want to save the lives of your people, step back before the summoning ends.”
[This…!]
‘Three minutes.’
Unlike in the interrogation room, when the summoning was delayed, some looked at me with questionable eyes.
‘Hurry…!’
The holy knights exclaimed.
“Archers, are you ready?!”
‘As expected, isn’t it unreasonable to drag it out for 5 minutes?’
I’m going to stimulate Andre more and delay time!
As soon as the archers aimed at us, Henry and Isaac blocked me and took care of it.
“Shoot it!”
At the same time the holy knights shouted,
Knock-!!
Knock, knock! Knock, knock, knock!
A loud knock was heard at the north gate.
“More!”
“Use your strength!”
The holy knights and the people looked around the north gate.
And not long after, I heard a loud sound.
It was the sound of a door breaking.
“There!”
The people who broke the door clearly rushed here. There was a man wearing an apron around his waist, an old man wearing a worn-out shirt, a skinny middle-aged man, and girls in store uniforms.
They had pickaxes or blades in their hands.
The people of the territory came out and surrounded them.
Henry and Isaac were greatly perplexed. So am I.
An old woman with a hood on her head said, “Oh my.” as she wiped the back of Henry’s hand.
“Children, what’s this?”
A middle-aged woman who hurriedly came out of the crowd put a shabby coat on my shoulder. She said, holding my shoulder tightly.
“There is a path that leads to the forest. Leave this job to our hunters.”
The man who hid Isaac behind his back agreed.
“We’re strong!”
Henry was the most perplexed of our siblings. He looked around at the people with wide eyes.
They had a slight accent, some had eastern, northern or eastern accents.
A person who had a father from the east and a mother from the south had both eastern and southern accent, so it was difficult to determine their place of origin.
This is because dad opened the door and allowed anyone to settle down.
The nobles blamed us for that.
Some considered us to be bullies who want to get more taxes.
People said that dad was trying to show off his power, and treated him as a conceited fool.
It was the same with my brothers.
In particular, there was a time when Henry rebelled against dad.
My eyes widened and I smiled at the hardened Henry.
“Sometimes we need to do stupid things.”
Henry’s eyes shook.
Of course, that didn’t mean that we were better than other nobles.
I never deny that I usually achieve things in vicious ways.
Even if the result is good, if the method is wrong, you can never be a good person.
But my family thinks about the value more than the method.
And we were rewarded with the value we had prioritized.
‘Look at that, Neliard.’
Based on Neliard’s standards, all of these people are sinners and do not deserve to stand in the world.
They kicked the position set by the world and took a different path.
‘But they are so lovely.’
The world becomes more beautiful because those who have not given up hope always shine.
‘So your beliefs should not come true.’
A shout of anger was heard from the mage.
[Those who violate the law. Slaughter and establish the order of the empire!]
The holy knights and regent were involved.
The people were hit by swords and arrowheads, and they were killed.
I screamed in shock.
Henry and Isaac also shouted.
“What are you doing! They are ordinary people who have never learned a sword!”
Whenever me, Henry, and Isaac took out the scroll to move them, arrows flew.
I couldn’t even use it because I didn’t have enough time.
The holy knight grabbed a gray haired old man by the hair and was about to cut his throat.
“Don’t kill me! Please!”
It was then.
A huge explosion was heard from the sky above Dubblede.
And what I heard was a familiar and welcoming voice.
“Protect Dubblede!”
Jean Marc Noanoke.
He was the chairman of the Dubblede’s senate.
In an instant, the surroundings shone, and soldiers carrying Dubblede’s patterns appeared everywhere.
However, their armor and weapon form were different from before.
“Lady!”
Veronica grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands and ran to me in a hurry.
“Veronica?”
“Do you like it? It’s inspired by your ghost soldiers!”
Come to think of it, their form is similar to the ghost soldiers summoned by Boone.
Veronica said, lifting her index finger.
“It’s not just the looks.”
An arrow was hit by a knight wearing a mask with a single horn on his forehead.
Surprisingly, it permeates their armor!
The armor was moved to Veronica’s hand.
She smiled shyly.
“What happened?”
When asked, she pulled out a pile of parchment from her arms and waved it.
“It’s a piece of armor from holy beasts. I made it after getting it from the battle in the vacant lot.”
“Huh?”
Veronica turned to Henry, and he grinned.
“This is my weapon.”
“The other day, the lady opened the passage to the other world, so the devils couldn’t return, right? There was also a body left. Master Henry saw and said it.”
“Huh?”
“How about making armor using the corpse of a beast?”
‘Wait a minute, that’s…’
Are you saying that there is an army like the holy beast of the temple?
Oh my God!
