Chapter 976 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (34)
“We also have to show something.”
“What do you mean?”
The aristocrat’s voice is cold when he replies, as if he couldn’t think of a way.
But it didn’t take long for that voice to change.
“How about making a detached squad to kill the crown prince?”
“The crown prince?!”
“The Crown Prince of the Empire…?”
So far, I’ve only grinded my teeth on the emperor, but I don’t think I’ve thought about what to do with the crown prince.
The eyes of the Geos nobles widened at the tempting proposal.
“Tell me in detail. Is that possible?”
“Is there anything I can’t do? Think about it. The Emperor of the Empire is angry, but it’s not something we can do with our own hands. But I’m not the Crown Prince. Compared to my father, I’m relatively ordinary.”
When rich people use strange powers in pairs, it’s really unfair.
Fortunately, I hadn’t heard of the crown prince using strange powers, so he thought it would be of great benefit to the Geos Empire if he removed the buds in advance.
“Umm…Surely. I’ve heard that he’s smart and talented, but that’s all I remember.”
“On the contrary, the emperor is a monster. Even if he is killed, he wonders if he will come back to life.”
It’s scary because I think it’s really going to be revived.
Aren’t you doing all sorts of things?
Although they don’t believe it because the temple is on the same side, many of the Geos nobles still doubted the identity of the emperor.
It was because the achievements he showed were too excessive for him to be a demon contractor.
‘Isn’t it too much for a devil to do?’
Even if demons use great power, they are all powers that require wealth.
That is why the power of demons is dangerous.
A power that is used to radically extract a person’s life.
However, it was not known what the raw material of the emperor’s power was.
At least it wouldn’t be the power to drag and use people’s lives.
‘Cure is absolutely impossible with the power of the devil. With that, it’s like proving that the emperor doesn’t use the power given by the devil.’
No one will be unaware of this fact.
That’s why the temple is trying hard to stop the work that day.
The situation was the same for the Geos nobles.
The Geos Empire could benefit only if the emperor of the empire had contracted with the devil.
‘How fortunate the emperor is arrogant.’
If the temple hadn’t helped us, the capital would have been trampled on long ago.
“That’s why we’re aiming for the easy-going prince. If we can catch the prince with our own hands as planned, he will be able to inflict great damage on the emperor.”
I couldn’t be sane after losing my child.
It could be the only way to defeat the Emperor, who has no weak points.
“Would you like to join forces for once?”
“Unconditionally.”
“There’s no reason to do it.”
The Geos nobles gathered their will and began plotting a plan to give the temple and empire a shot.
‘If this operation is lucky enough to succeed…’
The temple will never be condescending to the nobles of Geos until they are credited with killing the emperor.
In addition, it may be possible to obtain a higher title through achievements that have made great achievements.
‘It’s like being a hero who saved the country!’
Emperor Geos needed a hero to stop the empire.
What if someone puts the ball up?
There will be an idea to give you a reward.
‘If I make a big contribution to winning this war, I can become a center of power!’
The emperor had a personality that brought everything to those who favored him.
If he is credited with killing the crown prince, he will surely be favored.
“Think of the frustration a rising emperor would feel when he lost his son in vain.”
“Let’s make it a success.”
It was a very important issue to break the momentum of the imperial emperor who was on the rise.
I was worried about how the emperor of the empire who lost his child would come out, but the immediate benefit was too great to even consider that.
“By the way, how are you planning to kill the crown prince?”
“Let’s make a detached unit and kill the crown prince.”
“Byeoldongdaera…”
“I heard that the prince over there goes out to the battlefield all the time, directs the soldiers, and even fights. He’s aiming for that time.”
“I’m sure that’s the only way to get close. Wouldn’t it be difficult to secretly send an assassin?”
“That’s not a bad method either… But isn’t it too wasteful to throw it away after one try?”
If you use such a strategy, the spy dispatched to the enemy camp will have no choice but to die.
After killing the prince, how could he escape alive?
It was not easy to put a spy in the enemy camp, so it was a waste to be consumed that way.
“I think it’s a waste too, but the reward is far more valuable than that.”
“Hmm…”
“If you think this operation succeeds. Will Your Majesty reward you sadly? To the heroes who saved the country?”
Gulp-!
Everyone swallowed saliva at the words that stimulated the greed of the nobles.
If you succeed, the game of war will change.
They will be the protagonists of victory, and the temple will never be able to show off their pride until they succeed in killing the emperor.
In addition, it may be possible to obtain a higher title through achievements that have made great achievements.
No, i’m sure
With the credit for killing the crown prince, the family will be able to seize unimaginable power.
“Let’s do it.”
“I want to help too, do you need anything?”
“Of course. It’s something we can all do together to succeed.”
That’s how the Geos nobility joined forces and the plan was about to begin.

Chaeeng!!
“It’s dangerous!”
“Hey, heck…!”
A ghastly breath of life passed by the end of his nose.
Fortunately, the escort knight came close at once and protected the crown prince.
The attack was sharp enough to cost her life if she hadn’t defended herself.
And this time alone, attacks of this kind have occurred several times.
“I think it would be right to avoid the seat.”
“Avoid?”
“Something is strange. He is persistently aiming for the decline of the crown prince.”
“But if I walk away…”
“It is right to preserve the body now. If the Crown Prince does something wrong, things will get out of control.”
The Crown Prince, unable to refute her words, reluctantly decided to follow her suggestion.
“I can’t help it. I get it.”
The prince also felt that there were many people who came in especially targeting him.
Thanks to this, his stamina fell much faster than in other wars.
“Catch it!!!”
As the prince tried to step back, it became clear who they were aiming for.
“They’re pushing their way to where I am. Really, I was their target.”
“It seems that information about the Crown Prince’s deterioration has entered the enemy.”
The Crown Prince was deliberately wearing the same clothes and armor worn by commanders to confuse enemies.
Of course, it’s only the outer appearance of the armor, but there is a difference in the material part of the armor.
But from the outside, it was impossible to tell them apart.
Nevertheless, the enemies were targeting and attacking the crown prince, which meant that the enemies knew the face of the crown prince for sure.
“I thought there would be a spy, but it seems that more information has leaked out than I thought.”
“It is unavoidable that information leaks out.
“Things have gotten annoying.”
To retreat with the prince, he took a step back little by little.
However, the enemies did not let go of the prince and his party easily, as if they had made up their minds.
“These guys!! Where are you going to run!! I can’t run away!!”
“Three knights appear?!”
“Stand back. Lowery. It’s not normal. Protect the lowered!!!!”
At the cry of the escort knight, the scattered soldiers hurriedly formed a formation to protect the crown prince.
This type of formation had no choice but to stand out, so he restrained himself, but he couldn’t afford to hold back even in a situation where he was blatantly targeting the crown prince.
Since they had already been caught, it was better to draw attention and inform their allies of the crisis.
“Kill the crown prince!! I will give you enough gold that you will not be able to use it all even if you die after eating him!!!”
And as if in response, the enemy shouted to the soldiers.
Aaaaa!!!!!!
Kill the Crown Prince!!!!!!
“When did so many soldiers…?!”
“It seems that he was hiding for now. I was completely defeated!”
I realized that the enemy was determined and planned to kill the crown prince.
“You must run!!”
All they had to do was return the prince safely to the friendly formation.
“Stop it!!! Stop the enemies!!”
At the cry of the escort knight, the soldiers desperately stand in front of the enemy army.
“Your crown prince! Don’t look back and run in friendly formation!”
“What are you going to do!”
“I’m not their target. So don’t worry and run. Everyone lives only when the crown prince lives. You know?”
“…”
It’s a very sad story, but in this world, the value of each person’s life was different.
Even if 100 people died to protect the crown prince, it wouldn’t be a big loss if they survived.
If the crown prince died, hundreds of thousands of soldiers would lose their lives.
The aftermath of the existence of a commander is just as great.
It was a fact that the crown prince had learned all about while studying his strategy.
‘Damn it!’
But was it because of the youth?
The prince heard that he wanted to fight instead of running away.
“…Must come back alive.”
“Yes, lower!”
If he had just arrived at the battlefield and was a childish prince… There was a high probability that he would have cheated in the current situation.
However, the crown prince, who had experienced and learned many wars by the emperor’s side, knew what choice was the right thing to do.
Even for the sake of the soldiers who sacrificed themselves to save themselves, the prince had to survive.
“There it is!!! Chase it!!”
However, the enemies soon followed behind the fleeing prince, as if he had come with a firm resolve.
It was not the enemy that the soldiers were blocking, but the newly appeared enemy.
‘How much did they cut the manpower to catch me?’
Since the prince hadn’t been deep into the battlefield, he seemed to have planned this, prepared for a fairly large blood loss on the other side as well.
‘If I run a little more, the allied formations will appear!’
The prince drew all his remaining strength and ran desperately.
“Huh! Heh! Heh! Heh! Heh!”
By the time you smell the fishy smell of blood in your mouth.
“I got it!!!! I got it!! I got it!!!!!!”
A voice filled with excitement came from a nearby place behind him.
The enemy had reached that close.
‘Caught!’
It occurred to the prince that if the voice was this close, he would have no choice but to be caught.
‘If you want to live, you must fight, not run away!’
In a situation where he had to make a choice, the crown prince did not ponder for long.
There are two ways to avoid getting caught by enemies.
One was to run away, and the other was to kill them all to keep them from being captured.
