Chapter 263

TL: Zimmings

Shuheil’s family successor, Edgar, who was watching Mina through a telescope, smiled.

“Is the second child of fate stupid or is she making fun of us?”

The commander of the battle willingly revealed her position for some reason. It was like asking everyone to attack her.

Lord Wiltro, who was allied with Shuheil, laughed out loud.

“She might have other thoughts. Just as Lady Dubblede used herself as bait in a virtual battle.”

“Why do you mention what happened then?”

The family that lost to Leblaine in the virtual war was Shuheil. The commander was himself.

Lord Wiltro shrugged and said.

“Anyway, I’m reluctant to make a hasty attack. First of all, it’s better to clean up the surroundings first. Did you talk with Dubblede?”

“Yes, we pledged not to attack each other unless the number of families in the stadium (the battlefield of the battle) is reduced to less than five.”

“Just as we have joined hands with Dubblede, there will be the second, no, Amity family. Do you have any information?”

“Not at all.”

Just then,

Boom!

A loud sound was heard from the entrance to the mountain, where Shuheil and Wiltro were stationed. As soon as Lord Shuheil and Wiltro opened their eyes, many soldiers jumped into the barracks.

“This is the Duke of Marche from the western border!”

“Commander Brivi appeared on the eastern border.”

“Dimonte’s mages are in the sky…!”

All of them?

That couldn’t have happened.

Like Shuheil, Wiltro and Dubbed, other families may have an agreement, but Marche, Brivi, and Dimonte were not able to cooperate with each other.

Marche was a family led by Igor Marche, the maternal grandfather of the first prince Andre, and Dimonte was loyal to the second prince Adrian’s maternal grandfather, Marquis Chatele.

‘They are opponents, but there is no way they can hold hands with each other.’

On top of that, Brivi has already been keeping them in check for several years with some nobles.

‘What the hell is going on?’

It was the last soldier who jumped in who gave the answer.

“Paladin Jonathan is leading them!”

Who was Paladin Jonathan? He was a holy knight who protected the temple.

Lord Wiltro clicked his tongue.

“It looks like they are working together with the temple.”

The Paladin Jonathan was the one the pope put for Amity’s army to support the second child of fate.

If so, it was understandable that Marquis Chatele, who has the second prince Adrian as his grandson, colluded with them. Because the temple was intended to make Adrian the emperor. Count Brivi also supported the temple.

The two lords, Shuheil and Wiltro, ran out of the barracks while holding a sword.

“Inform Dubblede of the situation.”

“Ask for support!”

However, Dubblede did not support them. Before the reinforcements arrived, Shuheil and Wiltro flags were handed over to the enemy.

Less than an hour after the battle began, the two families disappeared.

Mina nodded when she saw Shuheil and Wiltro flags in the hands of Paladin Jonathan. And she turned her head and looked at the successors of Marche, Dimonte, and Brivi.

“You did a great job. Your courage has become a big leap forward for us. Jonathan’s contribution is huge.”

Jonathan bowed his head, saying, “I’m flattered.”

“Now, let’s grab the other flags quickly.”

At that time, the Imperial Palace.

[“You did a great job. Your courage has become a big leap forward for us-“]

People who saw Mina’s barrack, which was seen on the screen, screamed silently.

In Mina’s camp, commanders from each family allied with them gathered.

In addition to Marche, Dimonte, and Brivi, there are many others.

It was the majority, or most of the families who participated in the battle.

“It’s amazing. How did the second child of fate persuade all of them and put them under her command?”

“I can only say that the pope gave her strength.”

“… His actions are very different towards the second child of fate.”

Mina’s reputation rose because of it.

Honghae, who was focusing on the screen with other elysiano class’ students, narrowed her forehead.

“Why are they so excited? All Mina did was give a few compliments, and the paladin did everything.”

“Because it’s important that the paladin worked for Mina.”

“Huh?”

“Your country is far, so you might not understand, but Neliard religion is very prosperous here. The point is that the pope came forward for Mina.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, now the nobles on the continent will be clamoring to grab Mina’s rope.”

Honghae groaned and murmured.

“Why? If it were me, I think I would focus more on Leblaine. I mean, she’s such a great child that the pope himself keeps her in check.”

“…….”

“…….”

When Juliet and Jin stared at her, Honghae lowered her eyebrows.

“Did I say something wrong?”

“…… You usually say silly things, but sometimes you’re pretty observant.”

“Well, Honghae didn’t enter elysiano class by luck.”

Juliet and Jin said one after another, Honghae only folded her arms.

“I’m a princess who survived in a hellish palace.”

“Yes, yes, you’re awesome.”

Juliet, who said so, leaned her back against the wall.

“Then, we’ll just see how well Dubblede does.”

Jin nodded at Juliet’s words.

“If the situation is not reversed properly, Mina will push Leblaine away with the battle.”

“But is that going to be easy? Dubblede nearly didn’t have any allies.”

And after some time,

“It’s an attack by the Amity to Dubblede!”

The army went to cross the territory of Dubblede, led by the Paladin Jonathan.

“Oh my, the special troop…!”

If there are Irie in Dubblede, there are also special troops in the temple.

The paladins riding holy white horses with wings launched a fierce attack towards the Dubblede barrier that spread in the sky.

Boom, boom, boom!

The loud sound broke out, and the cracks in the barrier were visible even to those who did not have divine power. And not long after, the barrier of Dubblede was broken with a sharp bursting sound.

[Advance-!]

Jonathan’s voice resounded through the magic tool, and the army, who was proud of the fact that they broke the Dubblede barrier, crossed the barrier.

The Irie of Dubblede fought bravely, but it was not enough. There are dozens of enemies to face per person. They also have to deal with the special troops that could use aura.

On top of that, the battle selected the topography that the emperor was most confident in in order to push the Duke of Amity.

Dubblede was numerically and geographically inferior.

Dubblede couldn’t withstand the army from all sides and gradually flocked to the center.

But in that moment,

Boom!

Some of the soldiers who crossed the border were pushed back.

Someone watching the scene exclaimed.

“That is Count Dubblede!”

It was Johann Doubled.

The youngest graduate of Odis and the eldest son of Dubblede, who was granted a title at the age of only 18.

A huge barrier rose above his head, and it began to rain. The people’s vision was now obscured.

“That’s right. They let the count come out himself, isn’t he the only one who can deal with Jonathan over there?”

When a gray-haired aristocrat shouted, others also looked at the scene excitedly.

Just then,

Johann who was at the scene covered his mouth. Red blood flowed down between his fingers that covered his mouth. In addition, his fingertips were changing strangely like pieces of wood.

Those who were watching the battle through the scene were greatly shaken, and the expressions of Duke Dubblede, Henry, and Isaac hardened.

“What, what’s wrong with my brother…?”

When Isaac muttered, Theodore shouted.

“Call Veronica Dubos!”

“Huh? Dad, why Veronica…”

Isaac asked, but Henry, who was quick witted, understood his father’s intention.”

“Is it magic?”

“…….”

“Did someone use magic on him?”

“…….”

“Father!”

Theodore tightened his fist.

“Yes.”

When he lived as a dog to protect his children from his predecessor’s hands, he witnessed it. A vassal once experienced similar symptoms to Johann.

The culprit was his father, his own predecessor. He uses magic to assassinate people secretly.

“We have to bring him back here now. We never know what’s going to happen if we don’t.”

Henry replied to Isaac.

“If we do, the commander will disappear.”

“Is that the problem right now?!”

“You and I didn’t put names as the replacement, and the others are being pushed back.”

“Then, let’s replace him with a person who can lead the team.”

“There’s Mina over there!”

“What?”

“The second child of fate is-”

Henry looked around and lowered his voice.

“The second child of fate, just because she can’t use etwal doesn’t mean she can’t use her divine power. She had divine power surpassing the pope. There is only one person who can stop her when she comes out.”

Leblaine was registered as a replacement soldier, but it was a trick. A young child couldn’t step forward.

As long as Mina appeared in the battle, they only registered Leblaine because they were afraid of suspicion if she was not registered.

‘If we replace brother, we lose.’

If we lose, we can’t get the devil, and Leblaine must live in her ancient form for the rest of her life.

If Leblaine can’t summon devils, it’s impossible to face the temple.

‘The kid will die.’

This is something they don’t want either. When the expression of the Dubblede family collapsed.

[Replace a soldier.]

A voice was heard announcing the replacement. One of the Dubblede soldiers’ moved away.

And who appeared was…

“Look at the top of the mountain!”

When someone shouted, people’s eyes went there.

Her brown hair was fluttering in the wind. On her shoulders were a cape engraved with Dubblede patterns.

“Leblaine Dubblede…”

It was the start of the real battle.
