Chapter 728

Titan, the capital of the Saharan Empire, had the biggest Rebecca Temple on the continent . The size of one temple was large enough to overwhelm the size of the Vatican . It was a place where people could see the close relationship between the empire and the Rebecca Church .

"Your Majesty, it’s urgent . ”

The temple built on the blood and sweat of countless immigrants . A statue of Rebecca, goddess of goodness, actually existed in this ugly place? People against the empire didn’t appreciate Titan’s Rebecca Temple . However, from the viewpoint of Emperor Juander, this temple was the symbol of absolute power and the sole home of the ‘real’ Goddess Rebecca . Someone came to this sacred place .

“Urgent . . . ”

Juander, who was sitting in front of the statue and praying, opened his eyes . He was grumpy at his prayers being disturbed . Earl Lisha, who ran to give the report, bowed his head deeply .

“There is a strange trend in the Overgeared Kingdom . It is said that they are gathering a large army in Reidan by mobilizing all allied troops .

" . . . Hrmm . "

Reidan was a city that bordered the empire . The act of gathering troops there could be regarded as a threat to the empire . Juander could send an army to the Overgeared Kingdom under the ‘sin of making the people of the empire nervous . ’ But Juander was unable to move his army . It was because most of the empire’s main forces were dispatched to Valhalla .

“Moving after knowing this fact . . . As expected from the Overgeared King . ”

The reason why Juander placed a large number of troops near Valhalla was to keep the Undefeated King’s descendant in check . Juander was very alert to him, who killed tens of thousands of imperial troops, killed the Red Knights, and damaged Kyle . He didn’t express it to anyone, but the feeling was almost like fear . He wondered if it was the second coming of the Undefeated King .

Thus, Juander posted an army near Valhalla to guard against the Undefeated King’s descendant . But Valhalla and the Overgeared Kingdom didn’t know this . They interpreted it as the empire going to invade Valhalla soon . Therefore, the Overgeared Kingdom gathering the army in Reidan was a type of warning . It was a warning that if they invaded Valhalla, the Overgeared Kingdom would strike their rear .

“Sigh . . . Kuk, kuku! Kukukuk!”

Juander gave a deep sigh before bursting out into laughter . It was laughable . A mere kingdom just born dared to warn the empire . He never thought there would be a kingdom that ignored the empire . Juander was amazed by the changes in this era . He was so pathetic that it was funny .

He laughed for a while before asking Earl Lisha .

"What’s the exact number of the Overgeared army gathering in Reidan?”

The empire had eyes and ears throughout the continent . The empire’s spies existed in every country and region . Any of Juander’s questions could be answered immediately . But not this time .

"I’m ashamed . I haven’t figured out the exact number yet . ”

“ . . . ”

Earl Lisha, the head of the empire’s intelligence agency, had already tried several times to plant spies in the Overgeared Kingdom . But it was difficult . All territories of the Overgeared Kingdom were strictly guarded . Even if a spy was planted, they were caught immediately . In particular, the spies that were planted in Reinhardt were close to zero . Most of the 300 spies dispatched to Reinhardt were unaccounted for . That’s why there was a big restriction on their ‘eyes’ in the Overgeared Kingdom .

Juander frowned .

“The information network in the Overgeared Kingdom is still weak . How disappointing, Lisha . ”

"I’m ashamed . . . It seems that there are many high level assassins in the Overgeared Kingdom . . . But I will come up with a solution soon . ”

“Then can you roughly guess the number of enemies?”

The exact number wasn’t known, but it was possible to guess . Lisha replied once Juander asked again .

"Approximately 40,000 . "

40,000 . It was an insignificant number . From the viewpoint of the empire that had an army of millions, 40,000 was a number that could be erased at any time . But war wasn’t all about numbers . In particular, there were many people in the Overgeared Kingdom who were as good as the Red Knights . Among these, the Overgeared King had already destroyed two kingdoms and established two new ones . There would be no Valhalla without the Overgeared King .

‘The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and my strong people sent to Valhalla . . . ’

They were just good prey . Juander judged this and was filled with big regret .

‘There’s no talent . ’

Sword Duke Limit and the Red Knights were on the side of the empress and it wasn’t the time to send the Five Pillars to the frontlines . They were busy raising knights and magicians who would surpass the Red Knights . Kyle was somewhat idle, but he’d lost one arm to the descendant of the Undefeated King .

Juander wondered when things had become so twisted . Looking back, it had been a long time . Since he lost Piaro . . .

In the end, the descendant of the Undefeated King appeared and the balance of power collapsed .

“More than this . . . ”

Step .

Juander beckoned and a guard came up to him, handing him a cloak . Juander wore the cloak, walked outside the temple and muttered .

"For the time being, I need to drink a bitter cup . Let’s try diplomacy . ”

Diplomacy . Juander had never tried diplomacy before . From the time he took the throne of the empire, he became the ruler of the continent and only gave orders to other countries . They were one-sided deals, not diplomacy . But now the times had changed .

“Send an envoy to the Overgeared King . Tell him that we won’t invade Valhalla for the time being . I will ask for a truce with Valhalla as proof . ”

“ . . . !!”

The emperor of the world was declaring that he would take a step back? It was unbelievable . Earl Lisha’s eyes widened while the guard captain Bain’s face was red with anger .

"Your Majesty! I would rather go to the battlefield! Instead of the useless Red Knights, this Bain will obtain the heads of the Undefeated King’s Descendant and the Overgeared King . ”

“That can’t be . Bain, if you aren’t around then I can’t feel comfortable for even a moment . I can’t even sleep well . ”

“ . . . ”

Who could be in charge of escorting the ruler of the continent? Guard Captain Bain was someone recognized by Juander . Bain was the person Juander trusted most in the world . He was able to walk down the street thanks to Bain .

“The Undefeated King’s descendant . . . ”

After calming Bain down, Juander thought about the description of the Undefeated King’s descendant that Kyle gave . He got goosebumps .

‘A monster who can use the legendary 100,000 Army Swordsmanship as well as magic . . . It’s better not to move until all of the Five Pillars have returned . Yes, today’s choice is wise, not a disgrace . ’

"Hahahaha! Did you see it? Those scandalous fools ran away!”

The vampire earl Noll . Currently, he was in a peculiar state . He had overcome the Curse of Idleness . It was difficult for him to understand . He just knew that after encountering the human called Grid a few times, the word ‘annoying’ disappeared from his head .

Noll believed this change was based on his feelings of anger . There were humans who weren’t afraid of direct descendants . The moment that his anger rose to his head, Noll interpreted that he was free from the curse . Then he felt joy . It was the first time he felt a distinct emotion since he was born hundreds of years ago . He realized that he was alive now .

‘Now I see why Braham and Elfin Stone tried to overcome the Curse of Idleness .

Braham had a desire for knowledge and Elfin Stone longed for love . Those who opened their eyes to desires and emotions earlier than their kin wouldn’t like the Curse of Idleness . That was why they struggled so hard .

“Kuk . . . ! Kuahahaha! But in the end, I overcame it first!”

Noll thought that he was superior to Braham and Elfin Stone . Then a true blood vampire approached him and asked carefully, “Excuse me . . . Earl Noll, can we go to sleep now?”

“ . . . ”

The true blood vampires and ordinary vampires received only a small bit of the Curse of Idleness compared to the direct descendants . But that was just when compared to the direct descendants . They were all annoyed and wanted to go to sleep . However, they couldn’t leave because they had to follow the orders of the direct descendant .

Noll clicked his tongue .

"Sleep here if you’re tired . I don’t know when that human will come back . ”

“ . . . ”

They were noble vampires who slept in coffins, not on the ground! The true blood vampires and ordinary vampires wanted to protest, but couldn’t . Just like the direct descendants honored, loved, and feared Beriache, the true blood vampires and ordinary vampires also felt the same towards the direct descendants .

Some of the vampires who noticed it carefully gave their opinions .

“That . . . Earl Noll . Humans aren’t stupid . Isn’t it likely that they won’t come back?”

"It would be completely crazy to come back when they know we’re camped here . ”

Yes, it was a very common sense interpretation . Grid wouldn’t come back here unless he was a madman . Thus, Noll believed they should stay camped here . Noll was aware that Grid was a psycho!

"That human is crazy . He came back to this place several times, struggled when there were no odds, and killed my brothers one after another . It’s evidence that he’s crazy . ”

"You mean he will come again?”

"That's right . He will surely come . "

And .

“He will be killed by me . Kuk, kukukuk!”

Noll had already killed Grid once . He enjoyed the blood . It was very sweet . The moment he drank the blood, it felt like his strength reached boiling point . Evolution . It was similar to a class advancement when comparing it to players . After wiping out the Overgeared members, he was stronger than ever . He was confident because he was aware of this fact himself .

“Was it 10 years ago? Do you remember the human army that entered our city?

"Yes, at that time, there were thousands of humans . ”

"It was a full feast . It was the first and last time I ate so much . ”

"There will be another feast soon . ”

“Huh?”

"Just like ants, weak people like to gather together because they can’t do it themselves . The crazy human will certainly bring reinforcements to resist us . The number will be similar to ours . ”

“Ohh . . . !”

The eyes of the drowsy vampires shone . By nature, humans were weak . They were a species that was the vampire’s prey . A lot of them coming at once wasn’t a threat, but a buffet . In this warm atmosphere, Noll shouted joyfully .

“Come . . . ! Come at any time! Bring it on! I will feed on all your humans and gain the strength to reach another level!”

At that moment .

"Yes, I’m here . ”

A human voice was heard from the entrance of the city . The owner of this voice was unforgettable . Grid . He was completely crazy .

“Kik . . . ! Kihahahaha! You came! You really came back!”

Noll shuddered with joy when he discovered Grid . It was great to see the prey that had come to him . It was so lovely that he wanted to kill . The other vampires also shouted excitedly .

“He didn’t come alone, did he?”

"Did you bring a lot of friends this time? Baby . ”

The vampires were too excited! Grid nodded at them .

"Yes, I have a lot of friends . ”

Kurururururuk!

Footsteps could be heard from the doorway . It wasn’t the sound of dozens or hundreds of footsteps . Thousands? It wasn’t that either .

Kurururururuk!

“ . . . ?”

Noll and the vampires cocked their heads at the sound . The number of people entering through the doorway seemed to be more than expected . There was a problem .

Kurururururuk!

There was still a lot of noise . Humans were constantly entering the city . The number . . .

" . . . I can’t count them . ”

“Me too . . . ”

It was a number they were seeing for the first time in their lives! The vampires shrank at the emergence of a large army . In the meantime, humans were constantly entering . Eventually, Noll cried out .

"Why are you so stiff? The long-awaited banquet is right in front of you! Dinner! Shouldn’t a predator be rejoicing?”

“Ohhhhhhh!”

Noll’s cry woke up the stunned vampires . It was the power of a direct descendant . The vampires lost their fear and flew to the humans . Noll was naturally in the lead . He was only looking at Grid . He didn’t care about the other humans .

“I will eat something delicious again!”

Noll proclaimed in a threatening manner! Then above Noll and the vampires following him .
