Chapter 251. It’s out!
2022.06.28.
Casey, a member of the Emperor’s secret agency Evil and the leader of the Evil Merchant, was so famous that he could pass through the main gate of the Imperial Castle without presenting his identity card.
Both in name and reality, he has perfectly established himself as the emperor’s confidant.
Today, Casey stopped by the imperial castle for the last report before going out.
Today’s agenda was to grow the sacred flower Pendraum that Mabel obtained from Michael.
“It is not easy. It is not very efficient.”
“I expected that.”
Mabel succeeded in cultivating Pendraum. However, it took too much divine power to make one flower bloom.
I smoked it with the remaining divine power alone, so it was only two flowers.
“A lot of money is going away…”
“The cure is going away…”
A lot of money from Casey’s point of view, but from Mabel’s point of view, the supply and demand of medicines in preparation for war was in a situation where it was over.
‘I don’t want to hurt even one person.’
I didn’t want anyone to get hurt or die in the war. Even though it’s like a dream.
“I’m leaving soon. A day like this is coming. It’s also amazing.”
It has already been more than 15 years since he has been with Mabel, the guild master who hid his identity.
One of the reasons Mabel founded the guild was to develop her own strength. However, in the end, the root cause was the role of keeping Devlin in check.
For that, Mabel and Casey have lived diligently.
Veneno, which is grown only in Devlin, was stolen and cultivated, and Devlin’s magical materials were also stolen and sold throughout the continent.
With Mabel’s ideas, he developed magic tools that are convenient for all kinds of life and literally revolutionized Ermano.
Who would have imagined
This transformation must have started with the little baby emperor.
Casey deeply admired Mabel. The lord who passed from a baby to a young girl and became a full-fledged emperor.
Finally, the day to put an end to it has arrived.
“Can I really not go? He’s a pretty competent mage, even from that point of view.”
“it’s okay. Casey is guarding the capital.”
If most of the power was lost to the border, the defense of the capital was relatively poor. I couldn’t completely empty my power because I could have a different mind in a foreign country.
“yes. If it’s the lady’s name.”
Casey responded with a characteristic smirk.
Then I suddenly remembered the interesting ancient records of Devlin I had seen yesterday.
“miss. Didn’t you say Devlin’s magic army wasn’t as good as it is now when you went 500 years ago?”
“that’s right. Every time I use a magic tool, I am startled.”
“hmm. okay.”
“why?”
Casey answered Mabel’s question calmly.
“I found this while looking for information related to Devlin. It is said that the first start of the magic revolution was the invention of short-distance moving magic tools.”
“…uh?”
for a moment.
“And the lady accidentally dropped a short-distance movement magic tool there.”
“Uh…”
The blood drained from Mabel’s face. Casey, who hadn’t noticed, shouted with a hearty laugh.
“Devlin Wizards, we should say thank you to my lady! ha ha ha!”
“Don’t laugh.”
“yes.”
Mabel tore her hair out in embarrassment.
It was said that he raised the eyes of the Devlin wizards who were not good at magic and left a short-distance moving magic tool as if giving them a gift.
‘I… did something good for Devlin!’
However, it was already 500 years ago to regret it.

The last government meeting was held the day before the launch.
An unusually heavy tension hung over the entire conference hall.
The moment that will be recorded as a great war in the history books is just around the corner. I couldn’t help but be nervous.
Even among the council aristocrats, there were people who went to war this time.
Originally, they would have had a small chat before the emperor’s entrance, but today no one could open their mouths.
The darkest of them all was the Marquis of Gardenia.
Before becoming emperor, he had to send his only granddaughter to the battlefield.
But there was nothing he could do, so he was just boiling inside.
“Marquis of Gardenia. Are you okay? Your complexion is not good.”
“It’s not okay.”
“…yes.”
The concerned nobleman scratched his head shyly.
In the suffocating silence that fell again, the emperor finally entered.
“huh? Why is the atmosphere like this?”
Mabel tilted her head and asked as she casually sat on the throne. There was no way he didn’t know the reason, but Mabel was just carefree.
It seemed that they were the only ones to worry about.
Before becoming the emperor, Mabel was a special presence to them. I have been watching the whole process of growing up with the heart of a parent.
Is this what it feels like to send a child you’ve cherished to the battlefield naked?
“Then I will cry.”
Mabel joked and laughed, but no one laughed along.
Amidst the gloomy atmosphere, Emily, the youngest member of Parliament, raised her hand.
Everyone knew that Emily was the Emperor’s best friend. People naturally assumed that she would express her concerns to the emperor.
But what followed was far from what was expected.
“Aren’t you going to start the meeting?”
Everyone put on a blank look at Emily’s question.
“That’s right. How long are you going to keep your luggage waiting?”
“Poem begins!”
In such an uproar, the last government meeting began.
.
.
.
“The meeting is over.”
The meeting is over. But no one left first.
‘The faces are still dead.’
In the end, it was Mabel’s job to appease them.
“Is it so strange that an emperor would stand in the vanguard to defend his country and people?”
“no. This is your word.”
they shouted. However, a nobleman who was afraid to finish his words added a word.
“But it’s not my job to worry!”
“Come on. What are you talking about?”
The noble next to him stopped him, but he stubbornly shouted.
“Leave your worries to us!”
They did not have the authority to overturn the emperor’s departure, which had already been decided in a military council.
So, it was his request to let her worry at least. Mabel looked at them and gave a small smile.
“great. Worry about your load. By imperial decree, it is your privilege.”
loyal god.
I could clearly feel the hearts of the servants who were worried about him. I couldn’t understand what they were thinking as they stood here looking at me.
Because it was transmitted through the eyes.
Up until now, they hadn’t just obeyed Mabel’s opinion.
When he was very young, there were those who joined forces with Kietro Javier to keep him in check, and when he was older, there were others who looked down on Mabel’s opinions and opposed them.
Those who did were eventually servants of the empire. Seriously concerned about the safety of the country.
Mabel felt the need to repay their loyalty.
“The current signs of disaster in the Empire are from Emperor Devlin.”
There were rumors that Devlin was the cause, but it was the first time the emperor had directly mentioned it.
“Emperor Devlin is disrupting the balance of the world. His purpose is to make himself a god.”
buzz buzz.
“God.”
“Aren’t you a pure madman?”
The servants who first learned some of the truth were greatly agitated. The nobles, who laughed as if they were full of spirits, couldn’t smile any more at Mabel’s words.
“A catastrophe means that the axis of power has already tilted toward Veron and Arthur Devlica.”
“that…!”
I realized that it was not something to laugh at.
“I am going out to stop Devlin’s ambitions.”
“…”
The servants, who regarded it as a simple war of conquest, were silent. I thought that a justification was just a pretext.
However, the reality revealed by the emperor was deeply intertwined with the future of the world.
“Jim must fight. For the sake of the empire, for my people, for the ones I love, and for the future of someone yet to come.”
Silence fell.
There was no one who could easily answer the noble cause.
It was then.
Emily walked out and knelt in front of him. When Mabel’s eyes met, Emily smiled coolly.
“God Emily Javier. I will become Your Majesty’s wings and protect the borders.”
Right next to him, Duke Donovan knelt.
“Sour Pacifica Donovan. I will become Your Majesty’s shield and protect the capital.”
That was the beginning.
“I will sacrifice my life to fight with God!”
“God…”
The oath continued. Not only the Marquis of Gardenia, but also the servants who were waiting knelt down.
Finally, all the nobles knelt before the throne and swore allegiance.
‘One of the servants was really well-groomed.’
How great it is to be able to leave your back and leave for the battlefield without hesitation.
“I will repay your loyalty with a victory.”
Finally, the last government meeting before the official launch was over.
***
Early Dawn.
All soldiers and commanders gathered together for the launch. To deal with the Devlin Empire, it was an enormous number of soldiers because he had summoned all the soldiers he could gather.
Yang, who had avoided facing Aidan because he was uncomfortable, was with him today.
A woman and a woman were arguing with each other as the mist rose white.
“Are you really going to go too?”
“I have to go.”
“Shouldn’t Dad still be in the capital? If you go to your father, the emperor and the situation system will be absent.”
“Okay. trust your servant Aren’t the Marquis of Gardenia and Duke Donovan left?”
I thought it was right to stay in the capital as a situation system, but as a father, I thought it was right to leave together.
Even my greed couldn’t help it. Isn’t it torture to send Mabel away and wait for a showdown with Veron?
“Eh. okay. Let’s go together.”
In the end, Mabel defied his will and Esteban won.
“your majesty. and sire of the situation. All preparations for departure are complete.”
At the commander-in-chief’s report, Mabel nodded.
Then, as if he had been waiting, Esteban pulled me along.
“Mabel. Let’s go with Dad.”
Then Oscar, who was watching for an opportunity, called out, pulling my horse.
“What are you talking about, Father? I will escort you with Mabel.”
Rich man’s competition for the seat next to Mabel was so commonplace that no one cared.
“Oscar. You just walk away.”
“Mabel. saw? My father is taking out his anger on me.”
“Don’t be emotional, Oscar.”
Then, suddenly, Oscar realized something suspicious. For some reason, it was the fact that Aidan was not involved in this competition.
The reason soon became clear.
“Ugh. stop it!”
Mabel shook her head in pity and raised one hand.
“Hans!”
“yep!”
When Mabel called the name of the stable keeper of Hwangseong, he quickly commanded a sturdy horse.
“no way?”
Mabel jumped up on the horse with an unclear question as to whether it was Oscar’s or Esteban’s.
“Do I know how to ride a horse?”
Mabel, who had never learned horseback riding, rode very well.
‘Aidan!’
Oscar turned his gaze to Aidan. Aidan shrugged.
“I learned from Aidan. Does it make sense that a person who is going to go to war as a vanguard cannot even ride a horse?”
It was. Among the secret special training, horseback riding was also included. Of course, it was a fact that Lisandro, the physical training teacher, did not know.
Mabel had no intention of becoming someone’s burden.
When the two father and son collapsed, Enrique, on horseback, approached and asked in a friendly manner.
“That is a strong word. What is your name?”
At Enrique’s question, Mabel smiled proudly and stroked the horse’s mane.
“Speak!”
“….”
“..”
Everyone shut up at the great naming sense.
[Say! Good.]
Purr. The horse galloped excitedly and jumped up and down. Whatever the reaction of the humans, the horse himself was very satisfied.
As the emperor mounted his horse, all preparations for the campaign were now complete.
Mabel shouted loudly at the soldiers watching her.
“It’s an outing!”
Wow!
The national flag of Ermano fluttered in the wind with cheers filling all directions.
The final battle with Veron.
‘let’s go.’
It was the moment of taking one step towards the end.
