Chapter 578 – The Final Chapter. To Julian’s Future (6)
[I am both a human and a demon dragon. He is also the son of Great Saint Agnes and Lucifer, the ruthless demon.]
The mighty dragon’s voice.
The voice carried through the surrounding air.
Although Chloe and Julian’s lovers already knew that fact.
There was a great uproar among the imperial troops together.
“Oh, what happened? That huge demon dragon is Julian von Reinhardt. The only grandson of that Marquis Wilhelm?”
“You mean the Reinhardt family was a demon?”
“If it’s a cold-blooded demon king… It’s the same demon king who caused the Great War 20 years ago!”
Naturally, the soldiers seemed shocked by that fact.
In the recent battle, Yulian hadn’t been seen for a while.
The number one contributor to the suppression of Grius’ rebellion.
And Yulian was the young hero who prevented another rebellion committed by the Western Kingdom Alliance, the Byrea Mercenary Corps, in collusion with the Apostle.
Since then, Julian’s activities in the Holy Empire have not been heard much.
Most Imperial troops thought he had returned to Essenmund.
Even though his maternal grandfather, Margrave Wilhelm, had come to the ecliptic here.
So, everyone thought that his successor, Julian, was protecting Essenmund instead.
“Whoops. It’s only natural that they’re surprised by Julian-sama’s real face! Yulian-nim is the most special person in this empire!”
Chloe giggled as if she was enjoying the surprise of the imperial army.
However, by her side, Lucia was watching the confusion between the Imperial Army with a slightly worried look.
“We’ve been together with Yulian-sama all along, even in the Demon Kingdom, so it wasn’t hard to accept my true self. But what about normal Imperial troops…”
At the same time, Lucia looked at the reactions of Uriel and Charlotte.
‘The two of them look… Surprised…’
Of course, the knights of the midnight sun couldn’t help but be more surprised.
Rumors were already circulating in the midnight that the identity of the demonic dragon that stopped Duke Pedro a few days ago was, in fact, Yulian.
Because Julian announced that fact directly at this spot, the meaning was different.
Lucia thought to herself.
‘Julian-sama is the grandson of Her Highness Margrave Wilhelm… And the only son of the Great Saint Agnes. Besides…’
Above all, the fiancé of the current emperor was Yulian.
Even if it was a knight of the midnight sun, it was a fact that was difficult for the people of the empire to accept.
But Lucia was surprised at the moment.
‘I’m sure that expression… Is an expression of admiration.’
The fact that their next master was a demon could have been extremely repulsive.
Uriel and Charlotte quickly accepted that fact.
Before leaving the Demon Kingdom.
Lucia became quite friendly with those two knights.
Somehow she knew why.
‘Those two also adored Yulian-sama… Wouldn’t it be surprising if they were demons?’
At that time, Rosette, who was riding on the magic wand, spoke.
“I don’t know what the Imperial Army soldiers… No, the Imperials will think of Yulian. Right now… Only Julian, who is receiving the blessings of the two gods, is the only hope for the future. If the will of mankind does not unite towards Yulian…”
Rosette was right.
Julian is now the only strong man who can face Pedro directly.
Moreover, he was chosen by the two main gods to be the god of the new era.
“So, the reverence that goes to Yulian-sama from all mankind. Only that new faith can evolve Julian-sama into an existence that can overcome even that demon.”
Lucia said.
As much as she is the incarnation of Unir. She could directly feel her homework left by Yulian with her body right here.
“Tsk tsk… Those stupid bastards. Of course, Julian-nim is superior to the emperor of the empire… He is the one who will become the emperor and god of the new era, but I can’t help but kneel down on his own…”
“Oh, watch your words! It’s embarrassing for Imperial soldiers to hear it!”
And Rosette called the wind spirit to block Chloe’s voice as she tried to say a word while watching the imperial soldiers.
Although Lucia believes in Yulian.
Still, the same conclusion was evidently reached at the meeting of the leaders of the Imperial Army and the Demon King Army gathered here.
Humans and demons.
Both of those hostile forces will make a temporary truce here.
And start a four-day festival to commemorate the armistice.
Even Julian’s lovers here were shocked by those words.
Of course, the person who brought up that opinion was Yulian.
At that time, Cecilia looked at everyone and smiled softly.
“I’m weak… I’ve never been to a proper festival. So I was expecting a match at Pantheon, but as everyone knows, it was a mess.”
“Miss Cecilia! It’s not a horse fight, it’s a polish fight!”
Cecilia ignored Chloe’s words and continued.
“So, I look forward to the festival that will take place from now on. Shall we all trust our brother for now?”
A famous beauty in the Demon Kingdom.
And when Cecilia, the most docile of her lovers, said that, her mood softened.
“Oh… That must be Cecilia, an acquaintance of Count Julian, right? Brother… What kind of relationship? No, more than that… I have a protective instinct too… I want to hug you!!”
“Shah, Sir Charlotte! It is rude to say that to an acquaintance of Count Julian!”
Even Charlotte and Uriel reacted like that.
Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo-
And Julian, who was still flying in the sky, moved.
The demonic dragon, Yulian, retreated and started attacking the Apostle Army, who had formed a camp.
***
On the other hand, the place where Yulian’s lovers were stationed and not far.
There is an alchemist group owned by the Duke of Gerard.
Among them, the senior alchemists were quickly creating a new headquarters in the allied garrison.
“It’s a temporary camp, but in terms of practicality, it won’t lack in the slightest.”
A huge and tall watchtower that goes up to the side of the headquarters building.
Above the watchtower, the top commanders of the allied forces were gathered together.
A silver-haired middle-aged man.
Marquis Wilhelm answered Duke Gerard’s words.
“As expected, it’s like a famous alchemy division in Ireland.”
“It was nothing. I also found the current festival proposed by Count Julian quite interesting.”
Like the word festival.
Around the plaza in front of the headquarters, a place for the festival was being prepared.
It was not a festival in the figurative sense.
– From now on, the emperor of the empire. In the name of Lilia Ramir Ashterik, I order a special festival to begin.
Yulian proposed, and the proposal was accepted by Imperial Emperor Lilia.
Confusion arose in the leadership of the Imperial Army.
The battle that risked life, no, the fate of Island took place just a few days ago.
Even so, Julian suddenly ordered a festival.
Of course, even if you put all your energy into it.
Pedro and the Apostles couldn’t be stopped even if they used special artifacts from the Old Empire era.
Perhaps the young count was having the vain delusion of a young man to accept the end of mankind as it is and to enjoy at least a festival at the moment of his death.
However, Yulian calmly spoke to the imperial army commanders who were bewildered because they did not know what it meant.
– Nothing to worry about. I will stop Duke Pedro, no, Apostolic Army.
It was Pedro that even Marquis Wilhelm couldn’t stop.
So, a stir spread among the commanders of the Imperial Army.
Tyrese Naiat, the current Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army and the leader of the Knights Guard, calmed the commanders down.
– These are the words of the Count, the grandson of the Empire’s hero, no, already the new hero of the Empire. Also, His Majesty has accepted the proposal. No need to vomit anymore!
With Captain Tires saying that, the commotion subsided.
However, no one was able to properly grasp the true intention of holding a festival during a great war.
It was a festival in which not only the imperial army and the citizens of the imperial capital participated, but also the demon army.
“Julian…”
Even Wilhelm, the count’s maternal grandfather, quietly muttered as if he was worried about Yulian.
Did you feel the atmosphere of such imperial army commanders?
A tall woman leaning against the wall of the watchtower with her arms crossed.
The Red Dragon of the Demon Kingdom, Ustina said.
“If Yulian said that, he was certain that he was confident. So there is no need to worry.”
At those words, the gazes of her imperial commanders all turned to her.
Unlike Aitekia, who is having a conversation on behalf of the Demon King’s Army.
Although Ustina remained silent throughout her time at this spot.
Everyone here was feeling it.
That Ustina was the only one among those gathered here who was as strong as Wilhelm.
Gerard thought to himself.
‘Even though Ustina did not participate in the great war… Ustina’s name is mentioned in the old records of the empire. That means that she should never get involved with Ustina as much as she does.’
To the extent that Ustina also supported Yulian’s decision.
Duke Gerard could see that Julian’s choice was not bluff, but confidence.
During the next four days of festivities.
That Julian had the confidence to stop that nightmare-like demon lord’s army alone.
At that time, the white-haired demon who climbed the watchtower together. White Dragon Aitecia shouted.
“His Majesty Julian’s battle has begun!”
At those words, Duke Gerard also turned his head.
This is still the outskirts of the ecliptic.
Although there was a little distance from the place where the main unit of the apostle army called the camp was stationed.
High watchtower.
And the wizards used telescopic magic in the air as a special magic.
So, a huge translucent membrane stretched out in the air. The image of Julian, who had flown to the headquarters of the apostle army, was projected on that screen.
‘That demonic dragon’s true form is Count Julian’s true form…’
At that moment, all the commanders of the allied forces inadvertently opened their mouths.
Cuckoo coo coo coo-
Yulian let out a breath.
That breath began to form an army in the headquarters of the Apostle Army.
