Regressor of the Fallen Family Chapter 387

Episode 387 – The Holy Kingdom expresses gratitude to His Majesty, the Emperor of the Empire, who made the brave decision to end a war caused by a misunderstanding. I hope there will be no more meaningless sacrifices, and everyone in the Holy Kingdom will pray for peace on the continent.

– We express regret for the conflict between the two countries that resulted from a misunderstanding and the resulting victims. We designate the Black Snake, Kassel Matap, who caused the misunderstanding, as a public figure on the continent and issue an order to kill him.

The successive announcements of the castle and the empire once again shook the world. It was expected that the empire would not continue its conquest of the Holy Kingdom, but it was not expected that it would be done so suddenly and with announcements that seemed to praise each other.

Moreover, the imperial movement that immediately followed threw neighboring countries into further confusion.

– There is intelligence that wizards from the Kassel Tower have been hiding in neighboring countries of the empire. We seek cooperation from each kingdom to catch them.

Late fall, when the harvest season is coming to an end.

The empire’s legions began moving toward the border with a unilateral notification, causing a stir on the continent.

“refuse.”

Logan cut off the conversation as if there was no room for comment.

The imperial envoy, who was holding his head upright in front of him, frowned slightly at that resolute appearance.

“Won’t you regret it?”

These were too provocative words for an envoy from another country to say to the king.

Logan chuckled and looked at the envoy.

“Regret? That’s what you’ll do if you commit the foolish act of bringing another country’s army into the kingdom.”

“…If you refuse, His Majesty will consider McLane to be collaborating with the Black Snake.”

It was as if the envoy was openly provoking a fight.

The stiffly erected head seemed as if it was protesting to have its neck lifted.

‘Did you say he was Viscount Mitra?’

A look in your eyes that prepared you for death.

It was surprising how they treated people, so much so that a nobleman worthy of being an envoy would throw his life away without hesitation.

of course.

‘If you really hit the head, they’ll attack right away.’

– There are three countries bordering the western part of the empire, but our kingdom is the only one on the eastern side. If the empire starts a war of conquest, they will first liquidate our kingdom and then attack the West. From an outside perspective, our kingdom’s military power is only comparable to one of those three kingdoms.

Damian’s words were correct.

Although the cause was different from the present, in the past life, the Empire eventually attacked Grandia first.

Of course, just sending the envoy back won’t prevent an attack, but it will buy time.

‘At least we should choose the time of war.’

Eilen and the others who returned from the Holy Kingdom have not yet fully recovered.

They were targeting the Empire’s superhumans, but when I told them to put each other’s safety first, they went on a rampage and made a criminal record. Logan even found it absurd that his younger brother had suffered fatal injuries that could have put his life at risk.

‘I’m glad I didn’t die.’

It almost became Cheonchu’s regret that he was unable to follow along because he was worried that the Kassel Magic Tower, which must have taken a hit in the Demon Forest, would do something wrong, and that the sword spirit there might recognize him.

They still needed time to fully recover.

“McLane does not cooperate with the Black Snake. I intend to cooperate with the search and extraction operation for the Black Snake, but I cannot allow the Imperial Army to enter. That is all I have to say.”

“This is incoherent! Are you really not afraid of the Empire’s wrath!?”

The gaze of the ministers gathered in Daejeon also turned cold at the sight of the envoy screaming loudly.

It was so over the top that it was like he was practically begging to be killed, but Logan just smiled and waved his hand.

“Collect the envoy. Then escort him safely to the border and send him off. So that no ‘misfortune’ occurs.”

Samuel Mitra’s face, who had been raising his voice as loud as he could at those words, momentarily hardened.

‘If I don’t kill him, he’s probably thinking about committing suicide.’

This actually happened in Grandia in a past life.

Therefore, Logan had no intention of leaving even the slightest excuse.

“Your Highness. This is against international customs…”

Samuel suddenly abandoned his arrogant attitude and hurriedly looked around.

But the surroundings were quiet, and Logan shook his head resolutely.

“You can’t throw a welcome party for an envoy to bring in an army. Go home quietly, Viscount.”

Every intelligent person can guess what the empire’s intentions are.

However, according to Western information provided by the Eye of Flame, conflict was already brewing in western countries. There were even places where signs of civil war were visible due to the fighting between pro-imperial and anti-imperial factions.

Of course, the nobles who caused the uprising probably did not act that way because they were stupid. They are simply opportunists who prioritize their own interests over the interests of the country.

‘The emperor used his brain well.’

But at McLane there was no chance of that happening.

“Is there anyone who would like to become acquainted with the imperial envoy?”

As Logan’s gaze glanced over the Daejeon, the nobles filling the Daejeon all bowed their heads.

“doesn’t exist!”

“As you wish, Your Majesty.”

“Your Majesty’s will is the kingdom’s will.”

Logan smiled and looked at Samuel.

“That’s right.”

The envoy’s face was now completely white and he could say nothing more.

* * *

“Ready?”

These people follow closely as soon as they leave Daejeon.

Among them, Damian, who was on the right, immediately answered Logan’s question.

“The 2nd and 3rd Corps are already creating defense lines at strategic points around the fortress. The 1st Corps is also ready to go, and the 4th and 5th Corps are also preparing to provide support or participate directly.”

“What about vigilantes?”

Dwayne on the left immediately responded to those words.

“The harvest season is not over yet. We are not holding a convocation for fear of shaking up public sentiment, but we have increased the supply of repeating crossbows. Liberatio is also accelerating production at the Magic Workshop.”

“Okay, good. What are the empire’s movements?”

“According to Philip’s report, war materials are beginning to gather in the Eastern Legion. However, the amount is greater than your majesty expected.”

“…many?”

“Yes. It is said that all or more troops from 8 corps, not 5 corps, are materials that can be moved.”

Logan’s brows narrowed at those words.

‘I didn’t think it would be the same as my previous life, but it was so different from the beginning?’

Of course, if you think about it, it was natural. The current McLane will not be the same as Grandia in the past, when it collapsed helplessly with just the Eastern 5th Corps.

“Damian. What is the expected invasion time?”

“Even if a few red tapes are added to build up the cause, it looks like it will last at most a month. The eastern legions are moving towards Ruspelheim. On the surface, it is said to be joint training.”

“…one month.”

After hearing the specific period, my fists naturally clenched. It became clear to me that the disaster I had been preparing for right after the return was right around the corner.

The 20 years of struggling, struggling at the bottom in my previous life, flashed through my mind.

And those memories eventually led to a mountain of horrible corpses. He seemed to feel the resentment of the refugees in his homeland who had sent him back to the past through the power of wish.

‘Now, so that such a tragedy does not occur.’

after.

Logan shook off the momentary passion with a short sigh and asked what he needed to check for the last time.

“…What about Ronian?”

“It is said that His Excellency the Count began his training today.”

“Really? I guess I should go.”

“Hey, by the way, Your Majesty.”

“hmm?”

“You really… have a chance of winning, right?”

The words came out after hesitating for a moment.

Dwayne’s face was full of worry that he couldn’t hide.

However, there was no hesitation in Logan’s answer.

“of course.”

At those words, his worried face finally turned a little brighter, and Logan smiled and patted his loyal servant’s shoulder.

On the way to meet Ronian.

Logan faced the not-so-welcome guest first.

“…Princess Luisa.”

“You’ve been on a high level, Your Majesty.”

The other person greeted him politely, as if he didn’t care about his slightly furrowed brow.

“What are you doing here…”

“I’m just on my way to meet my fiancé?”

“Ah…”

“I can’t help but be curious to hear that my fiancé, who I haven’t seen for months under the pretext of training at a closed school, has finally come out. I’m also worried that he may have been ‘seriously injured’ during the training at a closed school.”

“….”

How much does this woman know?

‘I didn’t think I could completely fool you, but…’

I couldn’t help but sigh, but I didn’t want to waste time with pointless acting when Hansi was busy.

“The emperor has blatantly revealed his desire to conquer the world. Moreover, he has put up the Kassel Magic Tower as a justification for that. I don’t think the princess should be acting like this right now, right?”

A royal member of the empire and a mage from the Kassel Mage Tower.

The owners of the two complex identities, which are difficult to have, only smiled at those words.

“Then what should I do, Your Majesty?”

“…?”

“Have you forgotten your promise? My father and I agreed to help McLane in case of war in exchange for our engagement. Are you really planning on sending me back at this sensitive time?”

Yes, you are the only one who loses.

Logan’s brow furrowed slightly at Luisa’s answer, which clearly conveyed those emotions.

‘The Kassel Magic Tower has now become a spark that cannot be set foot anywhere on the continent.’

At first glance, it seems like a wise choice to abandon that identity and return to the royal family, but for some reason, the princess in front of me seemed to have chosen the path of immersion in a fire pit instead of the safe path.

Since I couldn’t understand the reason, I couldn’t believe what he said.

“Even if you keep your promise, there is no benefit at all, and if something goes wrong, your natural identity and status will all be reduced to ashes. Do you trust me when you say something like that?”

“Even if I give you the information, wouldn’t you be cross-verifying it anyway? It wouldn’t be a loss to Your Majesty, would it?”

The princess’s blue eyes looking at her did not waver at all.

‘I really have no intention of going back.’

Why?

Instructions from Kassel Magic Tower?

Or…

“I heard that the princess seems to hate the empire.”

At those words, a flame bloomed in Luisa’s blue eyes for an instant. Additionally, the gray magical power emanating from his entire body slightly flickered for a moment.

It was a reaction that could never have been acting if he didn’t know that he could see magic.

“…It was true.”

“…You’re a really troubled person.”

Luisa’s relaxed smile disappears and she looks with a straight face.

But Logan was busy thinking about it.

Why why the princess of the empire?

Could it be that King Dongyik?

All kinds of complicated thoughts came to mind, but it wasn’t the time to find out why.

There is not enough time now to even worry about the war that is just around the corner.

Of course, there is one other thing that needs to be pointed out.

“Okay, then let’s cooperate. But even as an imperial princess, what is the position of the Kassel Tower?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I lost my place because I was declared an enemy of the continent, so what do I plan to do from now on?”

“…The reason I even tell you that is . “I don’t think there

is one.” There is a plan.

Cassel Mage Tower.

The group that instigated Baros and created that disaster.

They are enemies that must be dealt with at any time, but…

‘They are also enemies of the empire. We will deal with them only after overcoming the empire. It’s never too late to think about it.’

Logan put aside his thoughts and turned his head.

“Well, I guess it’s okay. However, if the princess has other intentions, it would be better to put them aside for now.”

“Hoho. That could be possible…”

“The moment a blow is inflicted on the kingdom, I will put everything aside and uproot the princess and the Kassel Magic Tower. ”

“…Don’t worry, Your Majesty.”

It’s a thrilling way to live even while turning around.

Luisa, who paused for a moment, quickly forced a smile and followed him quietly.

“Your Majesty.” “I see you, Your

Majesty .”

The servants and subjects bowed their heads as they walked.

They looked at Luisa following Logan in a peculiar way.

At a time when the empire was planting the seeds of conflict on the continent in earnest, the princess of the empire roamed freely in Grandpia. Because it was clearly a heterogeneous appearance.

As a result,

“The princess was engaged to Count Ronian.”

“He didn’t break off the engagement and won’t go back.”

“Then…”

A war will not break out centering on the servants of the McLane royal castle. Rumors arose that there might be a war.

Of course, regardless of that, the two countries were moving quickly toward war.
