Chapter 963 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (21)
“Also…”
Sure enough, these guys had other plans.
“You were preparing a large-scale magic.”
The prince also frowned as he watched him come out of the video box.
“Since you knew that it would be useless to blow small magic, you must have thought that there was no other way but to use large-scale magic.”
“What should I do? If those many wizards join forces, there will be tremendous damage.”
We called in the general manager of the magic corps.
And after explaining the situation, I asked if I could block it.
“If more than 100 wizards work together for one spell, it can’t be stopped.”
And as soon as the general manager of the magic corps heard the explanation of the situation, he resolutely said no, as if he had nothing to think about.
“Who is not a clogged wizard! Isn’t that rude!”
“That’s right. Isn’t the attitude too rude! You should have at least said you’re trying.”
The servants who were summoned because of a serious situation.
It was inevitable that he didn’t like the mage’s condescending attitude.
The upright and twisted attitude unique to wizards was a bit tasteless even to me.
In particular, their own chosen people ideology… To be honest, I didn’t want to look bad.
Still, since wizards were indispensable in war, it was necessary to take good care of them.
“I really can’t stop it. You said you couldn’t stop it because you couldn’t stop it. How could that be rude? Are you saying that I should have dared to lie in front of Your Majesty? Then the soldiers die!”
The servants stopped grumbling at the sharp point of the cunning wizard.
However, he still didn’t take his eyes off the wizard, as if he didn’t deserve it.
“In the first place, magic isn’t a science that makes it possible to push through force. Without knowing anything… Tsk!”
And the existence of a wizard wasn’t easy enough to die in the eyes of others who didn’t deserve it.
“Come on, it’s not a place to fight, so why are you arguing? Keep calm. Now, rather than fighting, we need to come up with a countermeasure.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Your Majesty, you are correct in retreating. The number of wizards is too overwhelming.”
“Isn’t there such a talent on our side? Isn’t it possible to win or lose a fight simply by pushing with numbers?”
Even among wizards, there is a class.
And a single high-level wizard could change the game of war.
It’s like changing the game of war by using my ability in a moment of danger.
But these beings were rarely tied to the state.
There was pride as much as they had great abilities, and there were no idiots who exchanged money or honor for freedom.
‘Because it hurts my pride for such a great wizard to kneel in front of the emperor and be polite.’
Of course, that doesn’t happen often.
Geniuses of the century or something like that were possible, and most wizards often belonged to a country.
“I’m sorry. The wizards over there also have formidable talent.”
“…If so, can you guess what kind of magic they are using?”
No matter how arrogant a mage was, there was no way it wouldn’t be burdensome to keep saying no in front of the emperor.
If it offends the emperor, sanctions can be applied directly from the subsidy.
Relief appeared on his face, probably because the wizard was finally able to answer properly, and he quickly answered.
“The shape of the magic circle is familiar. This magic…Ah! It’s lightning magic! It’s not just lightning magic. If this magic is cast…A fierce storm will blow over the battlefield. And lightning will strike. Very It’s dangerous. It’s magic of mass destruction!”
Just listening to the explanation of the magic circle made me think that it would cause tremendous damage when cast.
“The lightning strikes will of course aim for the lives of our soldiers, right?”
“Yes. In the first place, thunderbolt magic is a magic with excellent killing power. It has a lot of magic power, so it is not used well… It seems that the Geos Empire has firmly decided. There are so many wizards, so there is no reason not to use it.”
A powerful magic that requires a lot of mana.
It was a correct guess that there was no reason for wizards not to use it in many situations.
“The wizards who have cast their spells on this magic circle won’t be able to use magic any more for today.”
“That’s good news at least.”
It must mean that everything was bet on this large-scale magic at once.
And if you think differently, it was that if we received this attack well, our side would have a huge advantage.
“It’s not good news. It’s impossible to stop it. You have to get the soldiers back now, or they’ll all die from that magic.”
“What can I block with defense magic?”
“No. It will break right through.”
I wonder if it makes sense that wizards who can’t help but be astonished at counterattacking magic and using magic to artificially create storms and thunderbolts.
‘The balance patch is a mess.’
In a word, magic now ‘does everything except what doesn’t work.’ Was a situation.
It’s just that when you see something that doesn’t work, your eyes roll over.
How are you doing that? While saying
If magical knowledge spreads easily and easily to everyone in the world, wouldn’t it become ‘all done’ instead of ‘everything is possible’?
‘If you look at wizards now, it seems like that’s never going to happen, but I mean.’
The general manager of the magic corps did not bend his will, saying that an unconditional retreat was right despite the pressure I put on him.
Absolutely impossible to stop.
The only thing that can be done is to withdraw the troops even now.
“What do you think about breaking through the castle gate before that magic is completed? Didn’t the number of wizards protecting the castle gate decrease? It seems like a worthwhile situation.”
“…It’s not impossible. But it’s going to be close. The difference in the number of people is too large in the first place. Even if the number of wizards was transferred to another place, the remaining number of people is about the same as ours.”
“So you’re saying you can’t conclude again?”
“At that time, if you ask me, I’ll try.”
The prince listened quietly and asked if he could not stand the frustration.
“Yes? Are you saying you can’t even do this?”
“Because time is so tight. If it takes longer than them, isn’t the damage too great?”
“You don’t have the confidence to succeed! To think of failure when you haven’t even started. It’s disappointing!”
The prince must have learned the influence of wizards on the battlefield through writing.
However, realizing that in real life, magicians are sloppy old people who just made excuses for this and that and said no, it made me angry.
‘When you’re in politics, situations more frustrating than that often happen.’
Looking at it, why do you do that? The guys who make me think are not alone.
“Ha, poor Prince Haona. Lightning magic is deadly killing magic for humans. The consequences of failure are too great. A huge number of people will die…”
The wizard didn’t seem to want to take responsibility for the death.
“Abama! No. You can’t back down!”
The prince blushed in humiliation at having to step down.
However, the wizard continued to mention the risk of failure and recommended retreating.
“If you run away like this, the enemy’s momentum will be stronger!”
Wasn’t the reason I endured while waiting for the enemies to act in order to retreat without doing anything like this?
“Can’t you even prevent them from completing their magic?”
“I’m sorry.”
As the attacks of incompetence came from all sides from earlier, the wizard broke into a cold sweat as if he couldn’t have remained calm.
“I heard that there is nothing that cannot be done with magic, but the wizard I have seen only says that it is not possible.”
Disappointing the next emperor was a burden even for a high-spirited wizard.
“Keuheum…Poor prince. Wizards are essential in the battlefield. We are unable to use our strength because there are too many wizards over there, not incompetent.”
“Abama.”
The Prince looked at me, ignoring the cold sweaty wizard’s words.
A situation where everyone is watching what choice I will make.
In fact, the outcome was predetermined from the beginning.
“Break through the gates.”
“!!!”
“Yes!”
“Lungs, Your Majesty!”
The prince cheered, but the wizard was frustrated.
The nobles looked mysterious as if they weren’t sure what the result would be.
“There won’t be any risk you said. It’s a situation that can never be dangerous in the first place.”
“Yes?”
“S-no way!! No, that’s nonsense…”
Unlike the others who were confused, the wizard opened his mouth in amazement at what he could have guessed.
“Can you show me the miracle you just showed me with great, large-scale magic?”
“In the first place, anything is possible if it’s magic.”
Massive lightning magic? He will also give it back to his enemies.
If this goes back, maybe the inside of the castle will be devastated?
“The only concern is that the priests will be swept away in the process.”
“The priest… Um…”
“The priests…”
The servants who cheered loudly at the word priest become depressed again.
“Even if it’s because of blind magic…”
“It will be unconditional to receive the scolding of the temple.”
“It may be that there is no going back.”
“The only way to get it out by talking to the priests is…”
“The temple guys sided with the Geos Empire, so why do they have to go that far? By behaving like this, their noses are soaring without knowing how high the sky is!”
Despite the temple’s relaxed attitude, we had a hard time getting along with them, so I didn’t like the restlessness either.
However, he did not want to leave after making it difficult for his son by aggravating his relationship with the temple.
“For a moment.”
While in trouble.
I checked the video the bird was delivering and tilted my head.
“Why is that?”
“All the priests are moving to other places.”
“Any other place?”
“Yeah. I didn’t notice because I was checking somewhere else for a while, so I didn’t notice… It looks like they left the castle at all. I didn’t know there was an underground passage.”
Thanks to the priests who showed us the escape route, it seemed that we could use that route too.
“Seeing you move while avoiding other people’s attention, it seems like you’re running away secretly…”
“Could they have bought something?”
“No, that wouldn’t be it. Even if they had an accident, they would have been shameless. And not only the priests ran away. The Geos nobles are also there.”
The problem is that priests aren’t the only ones running away.
In a situation where a huge number of magic corps are preparing large-scale magic, and victory is just around the corner, the priests and the Geos nobles are secretly running away.
“Running away from a situation where it is clear that he will win… I really don’t know.”
The prince frowned and sighed as if his head hurt.
