Chapter 952 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (10)
“I knew that the Emperor of the Empire used strange powers.”
“Yes, it was.”
“But how did the situation come to this point?”
“…”
The Geos Empire, supported by the power of the temple and its allies, succeeded in winning the war against the Empire.
They drank a toast, thinking that they would be able to end the war soon and punish the empire for their ignoble invasion.
Of course, the temple and allies were happy to eat the Geos Empire.
But.
“Why doesn’t the empire ever lose? They don’t even have priests. I doubt that the emperor of the empire really made a pact with the devil.”
“Ugh! That’s not it. If the emperor made a pact with a real demon, shouldn’t the temple be open? That’s too much of a burden on the temple. It should never happen.”
When the temple is opened, everyone in the temple must go into battle with the thought that they will give up their lives.
In a word, the opening of the temple itself is to eat away at the power of the temple.
Until now, temples have made enormous fortunes by taking advantage of the fact that they can heal in the event of a war.
And now he succeeded in extorting huge profits from the Geos Empire.
“Our final goal… The Holy Empire was finally in front of our eyes…”
The final goal of the temple was to create a holy empire.
The reason why he had amassed so much wealth and made a secret pact with the emperor of the Geos Empire was the preliminary work to establish the Holy Empire.
When the Emperor of the Empire once again waged war, the Temple was certain that this time the opportunity had arrived.
And in fact, Emperor Geos made a secret pact with the temple when the country was in danger of being eaten by the empire.
“I never imagined that the emperor would have such strong power.”
“Damn, I never thought I’d hit the candle like this when I’m all here.”
“What should we do? The power of the Imperial Emperor is too strong. If the Geos Empire is defeated, our position will be very difficult.”
It was rare for a temple to unilaterally support a country.
The bigger the risk, the bigger the return, but in the current situation, the risk is starting to get scary.
“You may still be able to speak with the Imperial Emperor. The Imperial Emperor did not kill our priests.”
“I thought he would refrain from exerting himself with the image of a demonic contractor, but it was unexpected that he wasn’t doing it at all.”
The Emperor under suspicion that he might be a demon contractor.
It’s normal to shy away from being under such suspicion.
However, the Emperor of the Empire, as if not caring about such suspicions, rather openly began to use his abilities.
“That ability is the problem. That there is no exaggeration mixed in with the fact that he penetrated the castle wall at once.”
As the emperor, who had broken through the castle wall, began to use his strength in earnest, the game of war changed.
As if the Geos Empire had a chance to win, it was a formula that barely endured the Empire’s counterattack.
According to the original plan, it was enough troops to drive out the empire and take the victory.
“According to the words of the soldiers who witnessed the emperor’s ability directly, they said it didn’t look like a human. They said it looked like a messenger of God.”
“Didn’t you say that light radiates from your body whenever you use power?”
“Yes, it is said that witnessing that holy figure convinces him that he cannot be a demonic contractor.”
Public opinion was not putting as much pressure on the emperor as expected.
It was because the emperor’s power displayed on the battlefield was strangely sacred.
In the beginning, there were many people in the temple who were shaken by the word that the emperor of the empire was a demon contractor, but recently, more and more people asked if there was a misunderstanding in the temple.
This definitely means that public opinion is leaning towards the Imperial Emperor.
“You said you didn’t kill the priests you dispatched to the Geos Empire, right?”
“Yes, it seems that they are just being locked up. Since it is to increase our allies to release them, there must have been no other way than to keep them locked up.”
The temple decided to take the side of the Geos Empire, but he was being driven as a demon contractor.
Even if the emperor took the lives of the priests of the temple in anger, he would not have been able to protest.
“No matter how powerful the emperor was, it would have been a burden to completely distort his relationship with the temple.”
“If I had killed the priests, I would have been able to move public opinion… Unfortunately, that was the case.”
“!!”
The Imperial Emperor is a cunning bastard.
With his brain working well, he must have been able to develop the empire so quickly.
‘It would have been nice if I had stepped on the empire beforehand when the opportunity came like this…’
Is it really impossible?
“What should I do in the future? I don’t think it would be good to continue helping the Geos Empire.”
“…No matter how powerful the Imperial Emperor may be, many countries have allied themselves with the Geos Empire in this war. This is a situation that the Imperial Emperor alone cannot counter.”
“Then continue with the Geos Empire…?”
The priest thought for a moment.
It was too early to change plans now.
It’s true that we didn’t drive out the empire and win, but aren’t we losing too?
In addition, the things the Geos Empire decided to offer were things that the temple could not give up.
“It’s still right to give more power to the Geos Empire. The secret pacts with the Geos Empire are worth that much. However, what they offer is not only the Geos Empire can give.”
“!!”
“If the Empire wins the war, won’t they have everything in the Geos Empire?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
As if it was an amazing idea, the priest’s eyes widened in admiration.
“I’m going to secretly send someone to the emperor.”
“Will the emperor over there give as much as the emperor of the Geos Empire?”
“If not now, I will not be able to offer you a deal with the Emperor of the Empire.”
The empire will also have a lot of troubles.
The participation of neighboring countries and the unilateral declaration of support by the temple must have been very burdensome.
“If the Emperor of the Empire is a man who can speak the language, he doesn’t have to pretend. Look at how he’s barely balancing now. If we go over to the Empire, the Geos Empire will be left without an answer.”
I heard that the Empire especially cares about soldiers.
“It was heartbreaking to drive the emperor of the empire as a demon contractor for the sake of the generation, but don’t you think we can relieve that guilt with this opportunity?”
“It is a very wise decision.”
If we hadn’t pushed the Empire this far, the future was clear.
Driving the imperial emperor as a demon contractor was a burden on the temple as well.
“Since the foolish believers failed to understand God’s will and took the ordeal with their wrong actions, how can they not blame themselves? I have no choice but to reflect and reconsider the Lord’s will.”
The shrine was realizing that he had made the wrong choice because he was greedy.
And they calmly thought of asking God for forgiveness and kicking his other pockets.
If the conversation goes well with the Emperor of the Empire, it was right to choose the side that could reduce the sacrifice.
“That would be God’s will.”
‘God’s will’ was enough as the justification for casually losing faith.

Dooung! Dooung! Dooung! Dooung! Dooung!
Woo woo woo woo!!!!!!!!!!
– Call me to war too! Didn’t you promise?
The landscape of war was changing day by day.
In fact, if I didn’t use my strength at the moment of crisis, the Imperial Army would have suffered great damage.
As such, the war was dangerous and fierce.
However.
The prince took time to say that he wanted to visit such a chaotic battlefield.
I thought the empress was defending it well with her soul, but today the crown prince secretly contacted me to see if the second bottle had burst.
The war was about to begin, but I thought it would be better not to cut off contact with the crown prince.
“Is this true…Prince, are you so curious about the battlefield?”
-Yes. I want to be active like everyone else. Just because you’re young doesn’t mean you lack skills. Soja has the ability to do well enough.
Certainly, the prince’s skills surpassed that of his peers, and he possessed the ability to easily overcome even adults.
Every time I see something like this, I think the difference in innate talent is frightening.
When I look at my son, I feel that life is not fair.
If you look at it roughly, isn’t there a place where it doesn’t turn out well?
He has a good-looking face, good skills, and a great status.
I was raised with pampering without a chance to be distorted because I didn’t get the attention of my parents.
Of course, there is a flaw that my father has a lot of women, but fortunately, the crown prince has been curious about women since he was young, so he seems to sympathize with and understand my behavior to some extent.
‘Unless the young bastard’s feet are cracked!’
Of course, from my point of view, there are times when I see these guys who are not even adults yet chattering with the court ladies and think that the old ones are really…
And my child, who was proud in my eyes and in the eyes of others, was full of self-confidence and self-confidence, just like a child with the ability.
I also had a desire to be acknowledged for my ability as a father.
War broke out under such circumstances?
Is your father even directly directing the war?
I can’t stand the 2nd bottle of this.
Like most kids do, let me try! Will become a cast.
“Hmm…Okay. I was thinking of letting you experience it at least once.”
– Wow! Obama!! Thank you!
“In return, I have something to promise.”
– We can promise anything!
“You can’t move alone. You have to be by your father’s side unconditionally. That’s the condition.”
-Yes?
It’s obvious what this guy is thinking.
He must be thinking of making something like a detached unit and going to the battlefield and cutting himself.
I couldn’t just stand by and watch it.
Then, isn’t it a battlefield where you can die from a blind arrow?
Does he survive during the war? There is a soldier who gives the feeling of, and he dies in vain like that? There is a soldier who gives the feeling of doing it.
In the battlefield, it is true that if you have excellent skills, you live a long time, but that does not mean that it is the truth.
‘Especially when a soldier I had paid close attention to died in vain, it was really futile.’
He was a soldier who stood out on the battlefield because his skills were good.
If he survived and made a contribution, he would personally call and congratulate him.
I thought it would be reassuring if I put it next to my crown prince.
However, the talented person was crushed by a stone and died.
It was meteorite magic cast by an enemy wizard.
Of course, it wasn’t actually summoning and dropping meteorites, it was magic that summoned nearby stones into the air and dropped them.
‘The most necessary ability to survive on the battlefield is not swordsmanship. Lucky.’
In that respect, he couldn’t make the crown prince walk around the battlefield carelessly.
