Regressor of the Fallen Family Chapter 461

Episode 461

“As the imperial army enters the east, its size is increasing. It appears that the remnants of the eastern legion are being quickly collected. However, perhaps due to rumors, there are definitely fewer soldiers than expected. There are still rumors that the number of deserters is increasing.”

A smile spread across Logan’s face at Damian’s report.

“I’m sure the rumors are effective. This will make war easier than you think.”

When Logan said that in an expectant voice, Damian poured cold water on his face with a calm expression.

“Still, the number of imperial troops is expected to be well over 300,000. The maximum is expected to be 350,000.”

Of course, Logan’s smile remained the same.

“I thought it would be more like 400,000, but I’m glad. That’s enough.”

If we were to simply look at the size of the troops, Logan’s confidence was probably excessive.

McLane’s army currently stationed in Ruspelheim numbered less than 150,000. Although they continued to win the war, the loss of troops due to repeated battles was unavoidable.

In particular, the losses in defensive battles were so great that the strength of five corps was already reduced to three corps. Considering that this figure included the remaining 20,000 troops of the Kingdom Alliance, the pure strength of McLane was less than half of the enemy troops.

But no one here thought that confidence was excessive.

“The difference in troops is much smaller than in the last defense battle. It will be a really easy fight hahaha.”

As Luther joked, it was the best situation among the wars against the empire so far.

Eilen, who was sitting next to Logan, also responded to that confidence.

“The number of remaining imperial superhumans, even including the emperor, would only add one or two more even if there were eight more hidden cards.”

The hand caressing the back of Tyr’s neck while he was sleeping on my lap and the way Tyr purred as if he was in a good mood gave me a sense of composure.

The swordsman also smiled and accepted the words.

“Your Majesty, the Emperor, will take charge of it, and I can take care of the Mage of the Cold Wind. Well, the remaining corps commanders will be able to defeat even the weakest among us. That way, there will be more people left.”

Someone who had been stabbed by those words for no reason flinched.

“Your Excellency, is it possible that that weak person is me…”

“Anyone can tell that it’s you, hunk.”

“What? It must be you, Bisil!”

“Ha… shall we have a proper fight after a long time?”

“However much!”

Luther and Wicken started chatting like always.

But no one was paying attention to the noise, which was so familiar to the point that it was now boring.

An atmosphere full of confidence.

Of course, not everyone was so positive.

“Then the problem is probably the Kassel Magic Tower. Since it has been cornered like this, it may actually join the war openly.”

As Damian carefully pointed out the areas of concern, Logan also nodded.

“In the first place, due to their characteristics, there won’t be much difference whether they participate indirectly or directly. The only problem is that…” “It

would be that the tower owner called the Grand Mage and the mages under his command may come to the forefront.”

“okay.”

This means that the superiority of superhuman power may soon change.

But still, Logan’s expression was calm.

“Even if something like that happens, I will deal with the emperor and the magic tower lord.”

It means dealing with two people known as great mages at the same time.

Although it sounded crazy at first, no one refuted it. The miracles Logan has shown since he took over Ruspelheim have been so tremendous.

Moreover, in the past few days, the voices of soldiers who deify him beyond his perfect command of the troops have been growing day by day. This was because the truth was slowly spreading that just listening to the King’s message that was pierced directly into one’s mind could help relieve fatigue and improve one’s mood.

Given the situation, everyone, including Damian, had no choice but to believe that their master had become stronger in that short period of time.

It never occurred to me that an army led by someone like this would be defeated by an army that was ‘only’ two or three times as many.

In addition, the Great Magic Circle and Liberatio repeating crossbows, which had already shown great results, were alive and well.

Then all that’s left is.

“I heard that there are no more than five mages remaining in the Kassel Magic Tower, so it won’t be difficult with our strength. Right, Ronian?”

At that sudden question, Ronian, who had been thinking alone in the corner, looked up in surprise.

“Oh yes! Yes, brother. It is correct to say there are four. ‘She’ will not be participating in the war.”

Damian’s complexion brightened at those words.

“Then, when you include Terronan’s Latin Lord and Sir Gustav, our side has the upper hand in terms of numbers.”

“Don’t forget that there is also Lord Heyman, Damien. He will also be the best ally to deal with the mages of the Kassel Mage Tower.”

“Oh, he… of course.”

Despite the great rumor that he was God’s apostle, Harman was reluctant to be associated with the temple anymore.

So, as his appearance changed, he expressed his wish to wash his identity, but Logan respected his wishes and made the fake identity he had used before into the real one and used it as a temporary guest house.

Only as a dagger to deal with the mages of the Kassel Mage Tower.

‘It’s unlikely that an Auror user will pop out of nowhere.’

From Damian’s perspective now, it was just good news to the point that he had no interest in his original identity.

“Okay. What are our preparations?”

“Soldier training is gradually decreasing and they are resting in preparation for war. Thanks to Your Majesty, their morale is at its best.”

“There is no problem with the supply of Liberatio and magazines, and there is enough food.”

“The Great Magic Circle has started operating without any problems.”

The reports from Swordsman, Damian, and Victoria were enough to add confidence to the hearts of everyone in the hall.

What further increased that confidence was the subsequent reports.

“I don’t think there is any need to worry about the turmoil inside Ruspelheim. His Majesty is already deified even among the existing citizens. I have never seen in history that the residents of a conquered land are so amenable to control.”

“After the war, the number of soldiers showing abnormal symptoms has decreased significantly. There have been no incidents of violating military discipline at all recently.”

The soldiers’ preparation is beyond perfection, showing a level of perfection that has never been heard of before.

Everyone’s eyes on Logan were filled with confidence, as all of this was achieved by the monarch in front of them. The inferiority of the troops was no longer a consideration.

There was no way the person involved could not feel that atmosphere.

‘I did everything I could. No, more than that.’

Logan clenched his fists and strengthened his resolve again.

“Okay. When do you think the imperial army will arrive?”

“Well, it looks like Regal is reorganizing its corps as it hasn’t moved for three days. We are investigating the details, but it seems like the situation is very different from what they expected.”

“After we leave there?”

“Even if a large army moves, it will arrive in a week.”

“Yes. There really isn’t much left. Make sure you prepare thoroughly until the end. We will defeat the emperor and the empire here in Ruspelheim and lay the foundation for a thousand years of peace in McRain!”

“yes!”

“Glory to McLane!”

“Homage to the unquenchable flame!”

The voices that followed Logan’s declaration heated up the office.

* * *

“your majesty.”

“older brother.”

The moment he left the office, familiar voices followed him and made Logan stop in his tracks.

When I turned my head, I saw Victoria and Ronian looking at each other in confusion.

Lia was restless throughout the meeting and her younger brother looked worried.

Just as I was thinking that I should call them separately after training and talk, the two people spoke to me first.

“Ronian first….”

“No, Ria, you first….”

The master’s younger brother and the friend’s younger brother. The names of the two people, whose positions were clearly different, were extremely awkward.

“Ronian, tell me first.”

“That’s…” The sight

of a big, distracted guy hesitating like a shy child was somehow unsettling rather than funny.

“Why? Is this story related to war?”

“…Maybe so. In fact, I’m still not sure if it’s the right thing to tell you at this point…”

“What?”

“…This is the last information she gave.”

“Her…? Ah, Princess Luisa?”

“yes.”

“Why… um? Are you really in constant contact with Princess Luisa? Aside from that?”

Out of embarrassment, I asked just in case, but my younger brother avoided my gaze.

“…At first, I thought it would be helpful to the kingdom, but it turned out to be…”

Ronian trailed off and blushed as if he was embarrassed.

‘How much?’

Looking at that scene, it was just absurd.

There was so much to say, but now was not the time to discipline my brother about it.

“You’re probably bringing up your personal problem right now…”

“No, no. First of all, we’re not in that kind of relationship… Oh no, that’s what I want to say! Her last words were unusual.”

The sight of him waving his hands and talking gibberish was not trustworthy at all.

“That’s…”

Meanwhile, his attitude as he glanced around looked decidedly serious.

“Hmm…”

Boom.

Ugh.

When Logan lightly stamped his foot, a golden curtain was created surrounding all three people.

“Now tell me. What you say here will never get out.”

“That…”

“Are you sure you don’t trust Lia?”

When Logan, who frowned unconsciously, asked that question, Victoria, who had been quiet, flinched.

Ronian, who saw this, was visibly embarrassed and spoke hurriedly.

“No, that’s not it! I’m just not sure of myself… so I’ll tell you first.”

Ronian swallowed his saliva once and continued speaking.

“It is said that the magic tower lord of Kassel is carrying out a ritual somewhere that requires a large-scale magical facility. He said he gathered all of the tower’s reserve power and sent it there, including her.”

“Hoo?”

“She said she thought it was the Descent Ceremony of Zivrik Kassel, and she left me the location of where it would end up.”

Logan’s eyes widened at those words.

What is Gibrik Kassel’s advent ritual? It was information that could not be ignored.

“It’s just that the timing right now didn’t seem right, so I was hesitating whether to tell her or not. Also…”

“I don’t know if I can trust her?”

“…yes.”

Ronian nodded with difficulty.

In fact, he could trust Luisa.

However, I did not want to put personal feelings that had no basis on such an important matter.

In the first place, the other elders, that is, the other mages of the Kassel Tower, headed towards the imperial army, but she also put aside her personal concerns that it was strange that she was the only one sent there.

‘I’m not a person who can be easily defeated.’

With that faith, I only convey the objective stories that the kingdom and my brother need right now.

Logan, who was lost in thought for a moment, opened his mouth.

“…But the last piece of information? Are you saying we lost contact after that?”

“yes.”

“You don’t mean to say you want to go rescue me?”

Ronian flinched for a moment at the unexpectedly sharp question. I didn’t want to show my embarrassed feelings, but I couldn’t help but react instinctively.

Logan let out a small sigh at the sight and shook his head resolutely.

“Even if the information is true, no one can be excluded in the current situation. That is a problem that can only be considered after the war.”

“…I know.”

The answer came a little late.

And at that moment, Ronian realized his true feelings.

The reason I brought this up even though I already expected this kind of answer would come out.

‘…I wanted to go rescue you.’

Blue eyes shining even more vividly on the contrast between black hair and pure white skin.

A woman who boasts such outstanding beauty that her somewhat cold appearance actually appears attractive.

It was only then that I realized that that woman had a bigger place in my heart than I thought.

“You, this guy. No way…!”

And looking at his brother’s surprised expression, he was able to realize another thing.

‘Ah, reading souls….’

That my brother revealed my shameful and absurd feelings.

Nevertheless, Ronian could only shake his head.

“No, no, brother.”

“What do you mean….”

“I am also a knight. Whatever it is, it is absolutely nothing. For me, my family comes first, and the kingdom comes first, brother.”

The words were spoken in a determined tone, as if trying to engrave them in one’s heart.

But Logan had no choice but to keep his mouth shut as those words sounded somehow sad.

Soon, red eyes met in the air.

There was a moment of silence, and then Logan opened his mouth again with a sigh.

“…Okay. I’m sure you don’t know what comes first, Ronnie.”

It’s a nickname I haven’t heard in a long time since I became an adult.

My brother’s hand patting my shoulder felt particularly heavy today.

However, Ronian tried to compose himself and nodded.

“…Of course, brother. No, your majesty.”

Logan continued speaking in a calm voice.

“Well, there’s no need for us to go. Contact the saint and tell her the location. If it’s the ceremony of Zibrik Cassel’s arrival, they’re the ones who will rush at you without hesitation.”

“Brother tongue!?”

“Also make it clear that the informant is Luisa von Aserian. If Princess Luisa is in trouble, we may be able to save her at the temple. That is only if the report is true.”

“ah…!”

The moment when an unexpected solution comes out of my brother’s mouth.

Ronian felt his heavy heart becoming lighter.

“So for now, it would be best to just think about destroying the empire. After that, we can try our best.”

“Yes brother!”

Ronian, whose fighting spirit was rising, and Logan, who was happily looking at his younger brother, walked forward with a smile that looked exactly like each other.

“Hey, Your Majesty, what about my story…?”

Unaware that the youngest mage, who was left alone, was crying.
