Chapter 579 – The Final Chapter. To Julian’s Future (7)
“That’s…”
Duke Gerard exclaimed in a surprised voice.
It was still noon here.
However, after Yulian’s attack began, the area became dark as if night had arrived.
‘Could it be that Count Yulian’s breath had an effect on the entire generation?’
If so, it was unbelievably powerful.
A breath with demonic strength enough to cover the sky with darkness.
Even Duke Gerard, who has been collecting information on all of Ireland, has never heard of it.
Gerard hurriedly turned his head.
Ustina, a naked beauty standing at the end of that line of sight.
The famous red dragon also inadvertently opened its mouth.
“Julian. Where are you now…”
According to that record, the red dragon that is said to have entered an ancient dragon is Ustina.
Even she seemed to feel her current breath as a power beyond her standards.
“That kind of dark magic… It must have a similar texture to that cold-blooded demon king. But obviously, the intensity and concentration are much stronger and darker.”
The reaction of Wilhelm, the first person in the Empire, was the same.
When the color of darkness that covered the world gradually faded.
A huge crack was created in the headquarters of the Demonic Beast Army, like the swarm of insects that brought despair to the Imperial Army gathered here.
“Well… If you have this much power, you know where that confidence comes from. It seems that approximately 30% of the enemies in the headquarters of the Demonic Beast Army have collapsed.”
At the man’s words, Gerard watched him.
Michael, the leader of the White Night Knights.
The general who is dealing with the rest of the Demon Beast Army on behalf of Wilhelm, who is directly dealing with Pedro.
He was the one who directly proved why the Midnight Sun’s reputation was known all over Island.
“Not only me, but everyone’s reaction is similar. It seems that Count Julian’s words that he could block the Demonic Army alone during the festival were not bluffing at all.”
The moment Duke Gerard said so.
A young woman appeared at this spot belatedly.
“That Wilhelm. Greetings to your great majesty.”
Marquis Wilhelm was the only one who would bow his head and bow.
Lilia, the emperor of the Ramir Empire, entered the watchtower here.
“It’s okay if you say hello a little more casually! Sir Wilhelm.”
Following Wilhelm, all the commanders of the imperial army were polite to the emperor.
Gerard glanced at Ustina, but
She, too, displayed her simple courtesy without any objection.
‘To Ustina, even if the emperor were her saint, she would look like a fledgling. Surprisingly.’
However, Duke Gerard also vaguely felt it.
I know he’s a great talent.
However, Lilia, who has no experience of ruling her husband on her own, has a low level of experience.
It was doubtful whether the young emperor, who was only full of kindness, would be able to lead the empire during the chaotic era.
The current Lilia was different.
‘The look in her eyes has completely changed. No one can carelessly think of that emperor as a child.’
Her eyes were full of determination.
Although she is a young woman, she is the one who carries the lives of all the subjects of the empire on her shoulders.
That’s why she may have been weighed down by the weight of the crown.
Her eyes were completely different.
She grew up in a prestigious family of writers after Aitern, but she is Gerard, who has worked countless times with commoners, not nobles, to become a merchant.
So she remembered where she had seen those eyes.
‘The emperor is wearing his mother’s eyes.’
It is a gaze full of motherly love that will absolutely protect her child.
Gerard was surprised again.
‘Right. Did the emperor become a mother too…’
Not only that.
She’s the black long-haired woman who walks in with Lilia.
Judging by her clothes, she was a woman who could be thought of as a court lady accompanying the emperor.
Gerard, who had already completed the investigation of Count Julian, knew who the woman was.
‘That young woman was definitely Count Julian’s maid named Eirin.’
At the same time she was surprised once more.
Even that Eirin had eyes like Lilia’s.
If so, it was obvious who the opponent would be.
Lilia and Eirin.
All of them are women who have ties to Count Julian.
Gerard glanced at Marquis Wilhelm.
‘Reinhardt’s blood is famous for being precious. Then…’
The same was true of Marquis Wilhelm’s expression.
Although Wilhelm was famous for his high loyalty to the imperial family.
Now, as if looking at grandsons and daughters-in-law, he was pampering them.
‘Is it like that too? It must be congratulations to the Lion King.’
And Duke Gerard is another woman who hangs around Count Julian’s side and his own daughter.
He remembered Chloe.
‘Chloe should work harder. Originally, when a man has a child of his own, he is a creature that changes once again.”
Unfortunately, Chloe, who had greeted her a few days ago, was no different than usual.
Apparently Chloe was lagging far behind those two.
But the third one most resembles his personality.
You’ll be desperate not to lose to those two. I didn’t worry too much.
In such a short time, many thoughts were passing through Duke Gerard’s head.
At that moment, Captain Michael shouted from the commanders on the watchtower.
“As expected, the enemy is moving as expected. Leaving Yulian-dono alone, they began rushing towards our headquarters.”
At those words, some of the commanders murmured.
“Then this is not the time for us to gather here! I don’t know why… No, because of the preparations for the festival, the soldiers are currently slacking off! The raid cannot be stopped!”
They were generals under Tires.
They are the royal knights who defended the imperial capital enduring all sorts of humiliation and contempt even in the era of the corrupt Cardinal Grius.
That’s why it seemed that they couldn’t keep an eye on the danger that arose on the outskirts of the ecliptic.
“It’s okay. By order of the Emperor of the Empire, I will tell you that you do not have to do anything. When the festival starts in earnest, you will be busy at that time, so you don’t have to worry about it now.”
“… All right!”
As they were former royal knights, they immediately agreed with the words of the emperor, Lillia.
But I couldn’t erase the anxious eyes.
‘Well, don’t even do that. Demon Beasts can also freely use the bombardment magic using demon power. I can’t handle that bombardment if I’m in a relaxed state like now.’
In fact, that story was a story that came out even among the alchemists who were Gerard’s enlisted men.
I saw Lillia’s expression again.
She was comfortable
Even the wizard casting telescopic magic was sweating with a pale face from tension.
An incantation like a square glass curtain he unfolded.
Inside the glass curtain, now called a video, like a moving horse statue, huge flying monsters began to radiate demonic spirit power similar to a breath.
‘As expected… The current Demon Beast Army is an existence that cannot be countered with the strength of the existing Imperial Army.’
The Imperial forces gathered here were burned to death without even being able to properly respond to that bombardment.
It was incomparable to the other monsters that had been scattered throughout the empire.
The majority are type 1 and transcendental.
Nightmare-class monsters that have become abnormally strong under the direct influence of the revived Demon God.
To that extent, the nightmare before the Demon King’s army joined them had no choice but to come to mind.
“You don’t have to worry about everything. And Knoia. Absolutely our humanity will not move according to your will. Eirin. Take my hand.”
However, the moment Lilia whispered that.
Lilia and Ai-Lin, a maid, suddenly held her hands.
Woo woo woo woo-
However, the bodies of the two began to resonate enough to shake the watchtower, which was made solid with alchemy.
“Uh, what happened?”
Everyone who turned their heads at those words was seen in the video.
A giant tree trunk began to grow in the area around the headquarters of the Imperial Army preparing for the festival.
“Stop… Can’t you?”
Tyrese Nairt, commander-in-chief of the Imperial forces, opened his mouth wide.
Like his reaction.
Huge stems and huge leaves that grew in an instant negated all of the Demon Beast Army’s artillery fire.
***
I was still in the void.
It was high up in the sky so that the demons could be seen as dots.
However, all traces of it were visible even from that high position.
It looked as if a huge monster that appeared in mythology had scratched the ground.
All traces I made.
The demon dragon’s breath turned the demon king’s headquarters into half ruins.
‘Still, it seems that Pedro is also starting to respond.’
At once, the allied forces were bitten.
Because there is no way to properly analyze the reason.
The Demon Beasts retreated for a moment and were only wary of their surroundings.
At that time, I flew up and attacked with a breath.
Although it suffered considerable damage as it does now.
Still, it wasn’t for nothing that Duke Pedro was called a nightmare on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, unlike the human legion, the Demon Beast Army is under Knoia’s strong control, so even confusion is not lost.
Under Pedro’s instruction, the demonic forces again created a new line with the remaining troops in an orderly manner.
And while ignoring me in the sky, I launched an all-out attack on the allied headquarters.
‘It’s very standard.’
If the existence of the country is the most threatening to them.
On the contrary, they will continue to attack while completely ignoring me.
As long as you left me alone, the damage could be great.
Pedro and Knoia know very well that I have a lot of people to protect.
Kkkk-
A cloud of demonic power hovering in the sky.
There, countless eyes and mouths were created and started laughing at me.
After all, Pedro seemed to think that the damage I had done was nothing.
‘And that means ignoring the rest of the allied forces that much.’
It means that other humans and demon soldiers can play with it.
The members of the 10th Imperial Army who actually gathered in the Imperial Army.
Even those who joined forces with my maternal grandfather were on the verge of being killed by Pedro.
His confidence was not a bluff.
‘But there’s something they’re overlooking.’
It seems that Knoia believes that everything has been successful in polluting the World Tree.
I looked at the demonic army’s artillery fire from behind me.
It was as expected.
“It’s a world tree! The World Tree is protecting us!”
Cheers came from the allied headquarters.
It was a wild bombardment, enough to create an earthquake around it.
After the dust cloud cleared, the headquarters of the Allied Forces, revealed as if nothing had happened, was fine.
I moved my wings and returned to the base again.
“How is it?”
Then I came down to the watchtower in human form and spoke to the commanders gathered there.
