Chapter 965 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (23)
I was lucky to witness the scene.
No, maybe God led them to see that scene.
To let them know that the Emperor of the Empire is dangerous.
The moment I succeeded in getting out of the aisle safely.
They were startled and startled by the tremendous storm and lightning seen in the distance.
“Bird, more than I thought…”
“Will the damage be great?”
“Is it possible to take a closer look?”
If you can see it even from a distance, it means that the large-scale joint magic of the wizards was bigger than expected.
“Wouldn’t this be almost all used up?”
“I don’t know if I ran away for nothing. Damn, what should I say if I ask where you’ve been?”
“That’s why it’s right to make a decision after using magic!”
“Isn’t it useless to poison the well?
Poisonous allies may die by drinking the poison.
The Geos aristocrat, who had the idea, became obsessed with it and began to insist on going back.
The priest furrowed his brow in annoyance when he was in a situation where he couldn’t do anything.
“Before choosing to return, you must first make sure that the magic worked.”
“Didn’t you see it from a distance? The magic has gone out. No matter how bizarre the emperor is, it’s impossible to stop that magic.”
“Did you forget? What the Emperor of the Empire has been doing all this time. Aren’t we just avoiding the seat? You are the one who has learned magic.”
“Hmmmm, I’ll check it out.”
An escort was absolutely necessary to protect the fleeing party, and among the wizards, there was a wizard who knew how to use the newly developed enlargement magic.
“Ohhh! I see something.”
“The tree obscured my view…Ah! Doing it this way… Can you see it?”
And I was at a loss for words at the unbelievable sight I witnessed with the sorcerer’s magic.
“What is it? Why aren’t you talking?”
“…”
Instead of answering, he stepped aside and let me see for myself.
One by one, they checked the unfolding scene, and everyone in the party fell into silence.
It wasn’t until after a long time had passed that the priest who escaped from the shock spat out the words with a choked voice.
“A madman…A madman.”
“The devil…!! It’s clear that the devil gave it power! It’s an irrational power that shouldn’t exist in this world!!”
“Wizard, how is that possible?”
“Impossible. Magic is not omnipotent. I’ve never heard of such a magic. And it’s a magic cast by over a hundred wizards in unison. It’s not logical for just one person to stop it.”
Even wizards have assured me that that doesn’t make sense.
The priest tightly closed his eyes.
‘Is he really a demon contractor?’
It seemed that the Geos nobles were already feeling the fear of the Emperor of the Empire.
“You must kill! You must kill!”
In fact, it wasn’t the Imperial Emperor who started that massacre.
Because he just turned the magic back on.
However, those who confirmed the results did not consider such context.
The person who created that terrible massacre was the Emperor of the Empire, and he wielded power that was too dangerous to let go.
That it is not normal.
It was something that incited discrimination and hatred.
“Ohh…Were we fighting monsters…!”
“God…Why did you give the Geos Empire such a great ordeal!”
“Must be killed! Look at that horrific sight. The victims will not find rest in death.”
“It’s not comfortable even if you die… It’s terrible.”
“You will be captured and tormented by the devil.”
In fact, driving the imperial emperor into a demon contractor in the temple was almost a witch hunt.
Are you a demon contractor? Uh? Isn’t it? Or do you feel the same way?
But now I had to change my attitude.
If you see something like that and show that you’re not sure whether you’re a demon contractor or not, the nobles won’t stand still.
‘Damn it… If this is the case, then I have no choice but to cooperate with the Geos Empire for free.’
In the meantime, the Geos Empire has been helping the temple by ripping off enormous wealth.
However, once the imperial emperor is officially recognized as a demon contractor, the temple is in a position to subdue him unconditionally.
Then the reason for the Geos Empire to pay expensive money and receive help from the temple was gone.
If left alone, the temple would have no choice but to move.
“Anyway, heheum… The emperor will die in that castle. If everything goes according to our plan.”
“Ah! Come to think of it, the plan isn’t over yet!?”
“Yes, we have already predicted that situation and made two more plans. Even the emperor of the Empire will not be able to solve that.”
The expressions of the Geos nobles brightened at the priest’s boast.
“However, your efforts are absolutely necessary. When we go back and strike the Empire in reverse! Then, the emperor’s life will have to be reaped unconditionally.”
“Can we do that? Killing the demon contractor isn’t easy, is it?”
“If you do it, you’ll be a hero.”
“Hero?”
“Think about it. The Emperor of the Empire is almost certain to be a demon contractor. How big would the credit be if he killed that person?”
Even in the temple, the presence of a hero was a good means of publicity to get donations from believers.
That’s why the priests shook the hearts of the Geos nobles while saying the word ‘hero’ without hesitation.
“The Emperor of the Empire will use the sacrificial lambs to gain greater power. If you keep them alive, they’ll become troublemakers for a long time. We must get rid of them this time.”
“So you’re really saying that the temple will officially recognize you?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Despite seeing the terrible horrors just before, the Geos nobles seemed to be greedy for the honor of being a ‘hero’.
The priests thought that if they kept the emperor alive, they would become a nuisance to the Holy Empire.
“Okay. I will definitely punish the Imperial Emperor!”
“You’re not going to take the ball all by yourself, are you? Don’t forget me!”
While the Geos aristocrats quarreled over the title of hero, the priests gathered and exchanged opinions in a low voice.
“How on earth did he get such power? No demon we’ve ever faced has given its contractor so much power.”
The devil gives power to humans through a thorough deal.
It would not be enough to sacrifice hundreds of lives to use such power.
At least tens of thousands of lives must have been sacrificed to explain the current situation.
However, even the emperor of the empire would not have been able to secretly sacrifice tens of thousands of people.
What kind of devil did he make a pact with to make such an absurd thing possible?
“It must be punished this time. If the Geos Empire cannot stop them, then who the hell should stop that cruel empire? It is us.”
“Many brothers will die. Just imagining it is devastating.”
“You’ll be able to win. Didn’t you expect that magic wouldn’t work on the emperor anyway?”
“No matter how demonic the contractor is, you can’t overcome that poison. Don’t you know?”
The reason why the temple has poison that kills people.
It was one of the means to kill the devil.
In addition, the raw material of that poison was the devil’s body.
The poison that came out of the devil became a deadly killing weapon that kills the devil.
That’s why the priests were sure.
No matter how much the emperor of the empire, there would be no way to survive the poison.

“The prisoner who was fine exploded, and our soldiers suddenly collapsed…”
The aftermath of not being able to find out in detail what the priests were planning shook the formation.
Not all soldiers who were taken prisoner were blown up.
Some captives go BANG! Without any precursory symptoms. And the body exploded, and the jailer died along with the prisoners nearby.
The soldiers, whose mental strength had been weakened by what had already happened, became worse after witnessing a person explode.
The bad situation wasn’t all that.
Suddenly, the soldiers started to get sick, and there was a case of foaming and dying.
In a poor situation where only healers could treat soldiers without a fuze, an epidemic of unknown cause spread, and the situation became absurd.
And I couldn’t stand watching any longer in a hopeless situation that seemed impossible to solve.
“The Geos Empire must have done something. Isn’t an epidemic circulating after the captives exploded? They’re vicious. How do they think about human lives!!”
“The prince told me to stay calm, but why did you come all the way here?”
Aren’t contagious diseases contagious according to status?
So the prince told me not to go around, but he didn’t listen and came all the way to where I was.
“It’s a mess, but I can’t do anything alone, can I?”
“What can you do?”
“Let’s investigate. If we know why the soldiers contracted the plague, wouldn’t we be able to prevent it from spreading further?”
“You don’t have to step out. It’s only a matter of time before we find out what caused it.”
A significant number of troops had already moved to catch the fugitive Geos nobles and priests.
Besides, no matter what they were thinking, they didn’t run far away.
Perhaps they are predicting this situation now and waiting for us to weaken.
“They must have created the plague. Then there is a high probability that the antidote will be in the hands of the authors. There is a solution, but you are willing to risk it?”
“…My heart is heavy because I’m not going to do anything.”
“Don’t show your heart carelessly.”
“Yes?”
If we are shaken, all the servants who follow us will tremble with anxiety.
“No matter what situation comes, people like us shouldn’t be shaken. Even if you’re scared and terrified right now, don’t show off. That’s the weight of the position you have to carry on your shoulders.”
The prince’s eyes shook anxiously.
What could be the reason for the prince to suddenly take an unreasonable action?
It got anxious
Because bad news suddenly overlaps, I’m afraid that something will go wrong.
It was the position of emperor that had to be able to withstand this kind of pressure.
In addition, it was not yet a responsibility that a child could endure.
Still, a seat makes a person, and one day the Crown Prince will understand the meaning of my words.
I decided to believe that, thinking of the appearance of the crown prince that I showed on the battlefield.
