Chapter 636
The warp gate was now at a level that could not be compared to the beginning of the gate incident, and it could not be compared to the beginning of the Allied advance.
Each of the Warp Gates, which had become fireballs pouring out monsters, constantly spewed out monsters into the world, and the level was now incomparable to the past.
However, many things have changed from the direction in which this world was supposed to flow.
In the original work, the gate crisis is finally over.
Compared to the time of the original work, mankind’s power was too overwhelming.
First of all, Titan, a giant weapon that did not exist in the original work.
In an overwhelming situation with that alone, there was even an immortal, an army of immortals.
The gate debacle itself hasn’t changed.
Strictly speaking, the Gate Crisis was supposed to end without the Titans and Immortals. It will take a little longer than now, but there is no way we can’t overcome a disaster that even weaker humans can overcome.
June.
The allied forces advanced on Diane, the capital of Lieseln, and began attacking Wallen, a large city along the way.
In fact, it was the first large-scale battle since the last battle of Serandia last winter.
There are Titans that are much stronger than in Serandia.
Also, there are immortals that did not exist in Serandia.
And to the original force, the Allied Forces.
-Wowaaaaa!
I watched from afar as hellfire rained down from the sky and an army of master classes killed monsters.
“It makes no sense… … .”
It was an overwhelming power that made Chanafel and the Imperial Magicians indistinguishable.
The allied forces will not know what an unknown army that appeared out of nowhere, clad in armor and slaughtered monsters with aura blades.
But now, they were leading the way, slicing and killing the monsters.
-Koo-gu-gu-gu-gung
Wizards who don’t actually engage in combat.
Adelia, Cristina, Louis Ankton and Anna de Guerna.
Those guys were virtually dominating this battlefield.
Humanity has become stronger than the original.
The gate situation will no longer be a problem.
The moment I saw the Allied battle, I had no choice but to be convinced.
You don’t have to watch it to the end.
Wallen will fall.
Two cities remain.
It’s not long until the fate of everyone, including myself, is decided.

-Kurrureung
The moment the Titan was engulfed in a flash of light and returned to the rear, the battle was already over.
The rain of fire and ice that dyed the sky red stopped, and the explosion of war weapons and gunfire that resounded as if to destroy the world also stopped.
It is true that the battle ended quickly with the help of the strange army, but that does not mean that those who have been active so far have not played a role.
A place where the corpses of giant monsters formed a mountain.
Ellen, who had destroyed the super-large warp gate in unison, struck the final blow at the right place, called the mountain of the remaining monsters, and then slowly stood up on the mountain.
“Warrior… … .”
Of course, those who can follow Ellen to this place, which can be called the deepest part of the battlefield, are not ordinary humans.
But even they couldn’t help but look up at Ellen as if they were looking at God.
It was Ellen’s first appearance after Serandia.
However, those who have always fought in close quarters with Ellen couldn’t help but feel that the hero was something very different from before.
Even when going into battle.
Even when in combat.
And even after the battle is over.
It had eyes and expressions that seemed to have been empty.
“Warrior… … . Are you okay?”
Ellen, who jumped down the mountain of corpses in several jumps, was asked cautiously by the knight she was with.
-nod
Ellen only nodded slowly.
The fighting method that seemed to exclude emotions, and became more sophisticated and sharper.
As if he had paid the price of sacrificing everything unrelated to the battle.
Ellen is stronger than she was in Serandia.
However, people watching Ellen couldn’t help but feel a great sense of incongruity.
no wonder.
As if there is no soul in every movement and action.
Everyone couldn’t help but feel that way.
* * *
Although the cities were more dangerous, the Confederacy’s casualties at Wallen were less than at Serandia.
Everyone knows that the power of the improved Titan was important.
and another one.
A unit that was too powerful to go unnoticed.
The vanguard, all wearing ironclad helmets with faceplates covering their faces.
And in the rear, a huge group of great wizards all wearing black robes.
I know that because of them, Wallen fell faster and easier than in Serandia.
who are they
Suddenly appearing to help in battle, they all disappeared as if evaporating along with large-scale spatial movement.
After the attack on Wallen was over, and after setting up a garrison on the outskirts, the allied forces had no choice but to stay there for a while for post-battle treatment.
Allied headquarters barracks.
“… … We finish reporting the damage situation.”
We talked about the general damage situation of each army and the countermeasures.
“Once we finish treating the wounded, we advance to the next target point. As the damage is less than expected, we will be able to prepare for departure quickly.”
The emperor doesn’t say what needs to be said.
Everyone knew that the vanguard, hidden by the Empire until now, was the army that appeared today.
There were countless master classes and archmages.
No country in history has had such a level of power. It’s not for nothing that archmages and wizards are called the strongest of mankind.
Even if the entire human race is combined, there are only about 100 to 200 people who come and go in one era. The master class and the great wizard are so few. There may be others whose names are not known, but there are not many such hermits.
It exceeds ten times the standards of such times.
The emperor insisted on not giving any explanation.
However, those sitting in the headquarters are naturally uneasy about the emperor’s silence.
The commander of the Knights Templar said that since the emperor was trying to take over everything by himself, don’t ask for an explanation and go quietly.
The emperor bears all responsibility.
However, after seeing the majesty of the army that finally appeared, everyone could not help but be terrified.
Is this a problem you can be responsible for?
Is such a powerful army really an army without any problems?
By any chance, what if you really held the devil’s hand?
If the one you just encountered is the Demon King’s army.
How the hell is the emperor going to take responsibility for that?
“your majesty… … . Did you really hold the Demon King’s hand?”
In the end, someone who couldn’t overcome his anxiety gathered up the courage and opened his mouth.
The emperor calmly looked at the person who had uttered the words.
“Can it be?”
The emperor plainly denies the reasoning.
“I guess I can’t hide anymore.”
Emperor Bertus nodded slowly, and finally smiled faintly.
“I have acquired black magic that resurrects the dead stronger than they were in life.”
Everyone’s eyes widened at the bombshell declaration.
These two have different facial expressions.
The commander of the Knights Templar, Rowen, smiled faintly.
Louise von Schwartz bit her lip as if to say that something had come.
“They are an army of undead who are stronger than they were in life, and because they died once, they can be reintroduced to the battlefield through a slight regeneration process.”
“It took a lot of material for it.”
“The once great heroes of mankind, warriors, knights and wizards. All who fell asleep in our praise and praise are resurrected and fighting for humanity.”
“And they are reviving countless victims who died after the Gate incident and putting them to work once again.”
“Until now, you must have known that those who died as heroes went to rest after proper burial procedures. No, not at all.”
“I was stealing their bodies, resurrecting them as undead, and putting them back into the war.”
“I call that army the Immortals.”
“This is the truth you have been curious about.”
“To hold hands with the demon king.”
“How can I hold the hand of the demon king, the enemy of mankind?”
the emperor laughs
“There’s no way something so shameless could happen.”
It was, indeed, a terrible laugh.
“So, don’t die recklessly.”
The emperor speaks in a cool tone.
“Unless you want to become an immortal.”
Everyone had no choice but to freeze in front of the emperor’s smile.
“and… … .”
The emperor once again smiles with a meaningful smile.
“It wasn’t me who held the demon king’s hand, but was it among you?”
The emperor threw a bomb.
Not just one, but two.
* * *
Is it bad to hold the devil’s hand, or is it bad to bring a dead comrade back to life and put it into battle?
First of all, no one can deny that both are bad.
When the emperor suddenly revealed the secret, the commanders of each army had no choice but to fall into a state of panic.
And the emperor didn’t just tell one secret.
Among the allied forces, there are those who communicate with the demon king.
As if the emperor had never kept such a secret until now, he flipped his palms and said two truths that would shock everyone.
An army of undead called Immortals.
The existence of those who betrayed humanity.
That’s all I have to think about now.
Who the hell betrayed humanity? Who is on the side of the devil?
Accidents happen that wouldn’t happen if the truth were revealed one by one.
The Empire and the Emperor turned to black magic to end the war.
Among black magic, there is a level of black magic that is accepted by the world, but black magic related to the undead is of course prohibited.
And the details weren’t even at the level of simply commanding the undead.
It is an insult to the bodies and souls of those who died honorably.
The justification of ending the gate incident would protect the emperor right now.
But there is no law that what is justifiable now will be justifiable later.
The Empire has touched an untouchable power.
The first as an insult to the deaths of great heroes in human history.
The second was to revive someone’s comrades-in-arms and someone’s family and use them as undead.
Even if they can’t be held accountable right now, one day the empire will have to pay the price for tampering with the forbidden power.
Assuming you have the power to do so. Upon learning of this, the powerful people of mankind learned the justification for destroying the empire at any time after mankind was rebuilt.
After everything got better, after humanity was rebuilt.
If there is a reason that can destroy the continent’s top spot at any time, there will definitely be people who want to use it.
That is why, from the moment the empire touched its power, it was as if it had already been sentenced to death.
Originally, in this situation, if there were a group of people who decided to betray mankind and stand on the side of the demon king, those with the Mace of Destiny would have turned their eyes on and searched for them.
But things are different now.
the emperor is mad
The Empire may be able to maintain its existence by force of arms for now, but it will soon be shunned by all.
The story that many people have already turned their backs on the empire due to the massacre of civilians at the hands of the imperial family in the imperial capital has already spread within the allied forces.
The fact that there are people who are on the side of the demon king is that there are people who are in communication with the demon king.
soon.
The internal communication between the demon king and humans suggests the possibility that the demon king has an intention to use humans and may save them.
The Demon King can also be an alternative.
The fall of the empire is certain.
In the meantime, someone bet on the devil’s victory, and the devil wants to use them.
Choosing the Demon King can also be one of the ways to survive.
Immortal identity.
and traitors to humanity.
By throwing the two truths together, Berthus created great confusion in people’s minds.
Where on earth did the demon king stretch his hand?
An empire that held strong power but committed an act that could never be forgiven.
Or is it the demon king who is the culprit behind all of this and might devour mankind?
I hate them all terribly.
However, if you don’t choose a winner, you may have to face another destruction after barely surviving the destruction.
The time to choose is coming.
and.
“Oh my… … .”
The commander of the Knights Templar, Rowen, gave a faint smile when he received an internal report on the current situation of the imperial capital, Gradium.
“Looks like something interesting is going on… … .”
In front of Rowen’s eyes was a piece of paper torn in half.
A piece of rough scrawled paper on the wall.
“You mean something like this is attached to the streets of the ecliptic?”
“Yes, Captain.”
Rumors are circulating in the ecliptic.
[The emperor caused a gate crisis.]
An absurd rumor that the gate incident was caused by the emperor.
Rumors like that slowly.
But sure.
was spreading
