Chapter 170

“The Rockstrin Student has departed.”

Somerset conference room.

Ahead of the monster’s massive air raid, Wirain and other professors had periodic countermeasure meetings.

The decision has already been made, and everyone gathered before moving to complete the final inspection.

“We’re ready too, so let’s move on.”

The number is a whopping 1 million.

It’s a level that can’t be compared to the previous invasion. Not to mention the mightiness of the monsters, their range also reached the entire empire.

Three court wizards must intercept the monsters in the neutral zone outside the empire, and deal with the rest scattered throughout the place.

The situation is not optimistic.

Even if everything goes according to theory, it is unknown whether it will be able to stop the monsters.

However, variables always exist.

While the professors were leaving the conference room, Professor Katrina approached Yurain and whispered cautiously.

“Come on, dean. I think there is a problem with the system.”

“What is going on?”

“Aindarlock’s reinforcements, which were moving to the Confederate front, took over the imperial palace out of nowhere… … .”

Since the ripple effect is extremely important, I did not mention it to professors who had to start now.

No matter what happens, their priority is to stop the monsters.

Upon hearing Katrina’s story, Wirain laughed. It wasn’t a surprise at all.

“What a reckless fellow.”

“Did you know?”

“You don’t have to worry. Cunning for a Coltman. It must have been Rocktrin’s trick.”

As much as he is the dean of Summer Turge, his ties to the depths of the imperial family, if not as much as the sorcery society.

A while ago, I had heard that the movements of the forces of First Prince Thein von Rongrte were unusual.

“Did you just move one step ahead?”

So, who cares about that wallpaper, Aindarok? No matter what they were preparing, it is natural that they would not notice.

If all of this was by design, it would be terrifying.

“I must assume that the special lease does not come. You work hard too.”

“yes.”

Wirain turned and left the conference room. The defense of Summer Turge is left to the remaining professors and students.

Aindarok’s special lease, which was scheduled to join Yurain and the Confederate front, does not come. They will stay at the Imperial Palace.

However, as far as I know, there is no big change in power itself. If there had been no special lease, on the contrary, many of the guardian mages would have left the front line and seized the imperial palace.

‘Isn’t the burden too heavy?’

It is important that any force stays in Rongurt. This is because everyone will be involved in the primary goal of stopping the monsters themselves.

So, the burden left behind for Rockstrin, who set off for Leeden alone, is heavy.

In this generation, the only person who can seal the magical power of Rockstrin must be himself.

‘Or do you believe in something?’

You never know.

However, Wirain was only fulfilling the mission given to him.

“Activate the barrier from now on.”

“Yes.”

As one magician uttered a spell, the lights rose high. That was the promised sign.

A pure white light rose from all four places at the same time. It was the biggest reason for leaving only the students behind.

“Has it started?”

After Wee Lane left Summer Turge. Students gathered near the central fountain watched as the barrier was activated.

It’s not just students at Somerset.

The students of Oberon and Sorus, who had participated in the competition, were also gathered there.

“Is that the barrier you saw in the children’s book?”

“Can I trust you?”

“It looks plausible, but… … .”

“The performance is certain. Stupid bird heads get stuck very hard.”

It was all students who activated the barrier.

Among the refugees taught by the Ministry of Technology, children with excellent magic manipulation skills were selected and placed.

Eight people are going to take turns supplying magic power to one pillar, so the calculation is that even if they can’t do it, they can survive for a week.

[Ahh. Can you hear everyone?]

Suddenly, someone’s bright voice echoed overhead.

It was a voice that would be familiar to any student at Summer Turf.

“Isn’t it the princess?”

“I guess that’s right.”

[There are only a few professors left at Summer Turge right now, so I’ll take control of the situation.]

[It’s still a long way for monsters to arrive here, but from now on, come to your senses. You must follow the instructions as much as possible.]

qualities of a commander.

Not everyone has the so-called ‘all-seeing eye’. There was no professor who could take on such a role at the Summer Turge, where Wie Lane left.

So he was a child.

“This is the roof of the main building, and I will issue an interception order to the point where the monsters are gathering. I’ll try it out now. actually fire it.”

Professor Research Building, Agricultural Research Building, Lecture Building 1, Lecture Building 2, Main Building.

There are 8 lasers placed on the rooftops of each of the 5 buildings, for a total of 40 units.

‘Basically, each person has to protect the fire net, but there will be times when you need to gather fire power at one point.’

Rockstrin said so.

There must be quite a few monsters of the highest rank that were captured in the vicinity of Summer Turge before, with the name ‘Heavenly Centipede’.

‘It must be killed in one shot.’

I know all too well the danger. The child looked at the distant sky with a serious face, which is rare.

Before long, a round kite rose high from the distance. It was brought up by Frid.

It was far from the main gate, so it was almost the size of a fingernail on the roof of the main building.

“Baeller.”

Baeller, who was standing next to the child, opened his mouth a little later.

“1st Battery, U21 Upper 14. 2nd battery, right 8 upper 12… … .”

Since the five batteries were deployed in separate locations, sophisticated calculations were required to ensure an accurate interception.

This part belonged entirely to Baeller.

“launch.”

With Ainim’s command, 40 gun barrels fired all at once.

There was also a laser in the command center of the main building where Ai-nim was located, so the afterimage of the flash lingered for a long time.

“No errors.”

“Wow… … .”

“Because it’s Rongurt, after all.”

The light emitted from the five batteries all hit the exact spot where the kite was located.

The students on the roof of the main building watched Baeller do the calculations himself. It was only natural that exclamations erupted from here and there.

It’s too early to admire.

Ainim turned off the loudspeaker for a while and asked Baeller.

“Slow. Can’t you do it faster?”

“No faster than this… … .”

“It’s hard at that speed when two appear at the same time.”

Ainim put on a serious expression.

Calculation time is about 13 seconds.

Even if you intercept one, 13 seconds is enough time for the other to escape.

What if it’s three? At that point, you are bound to miss it.

‘They can use the information. That’s the scariest thing.’

Contrary to what Roxtrin said, a powerful weapon possessed by this side.

Sky Centipede does not know the maximum range of the laser. This is basically the reason why Razer limited the targets intercepted by monsters close to the barrier.

40 lasers attract the sky centipede to the point where they can fire at once, and shoot it down.

If I missed them and three or four centipedes piled up outside the range of the laser, let alone the barrier, the students’ magical powers would not be able to handle it. Because Sky Centipede is a factory that constantly produces monsters.

“I can’t help it.”

Ai let out a small sigh. I knew it was an unreasonable request.

The calculations aren’t as fast as Baeller’s, but he has no choice but to help himself. It wouldn’t be that simple to have to do other calculations while using magic at the same time.

Then Baeller opened his mouth.

“… … Is it possible to gather all the magic cores here?”

“Why?”

“Perhaps.”

Baeller pointed to the tent behind Ainim and said. Since it was impossible to leave, it was a temporary sleeping place on the roof.

“… … Will you be okay though?”

As Aini knew, it was definitely not a very good memory for Baeller.

It was around the time when he was half-mad, locked in a room in an imperial annex with a magic core.

The only time I could leave the awful room was at mealtime, so I would do everything I could to force myself to pass the time. He used to do useless 10-digit calculations in his head.

However, in an environment oppressed by mana, accidents accelerated more than necessary.

In my head, at least an hour had passed, but when I looked at the clock, it was only a few minutes.

“If necessary, do so.”

I decided to pile up a lot of magic cores in the tent and create an environment that was as similar as possible to that time.

The result was a success.

“Three seconds.”

Frid launched the kite in two places at the same time. The calculation was so fast that the speed of turning the gun barrel could not keep up.

“How long can you last?”

“Five years is possible.”

“… … okay.”

The child smiled bitterly and looked back at the sky on the other side. where the system is.

Maybe by now, Obama is in trouble. Considering this, it was not the time to be weak.

I’m sorry about Baeller.

“Don’t talk about it later. I won’t take it out.”

Aini looks straight ahead again.

Now, it will come sooner or later from the other side of the clear sky. This time, a new kite came to mind.

“Again, ready to fire.”

* * *

“Hey, what are you doing!”

“Count Coltman!”

“The situation is like this, what kind of nonsense… … .”

The imperial palace was in ruins.

It’s just a metaphorical expression, and in reality, the beautiful scenery hasn’t changed at all.

The only thing that has changed is the people in it.

“I subdued them all, Your Excellency.”

“Good work.”

Coltman looked down with a cold expression.

The Great Hall of the Imperial Palace.

All of them are big figures who control Rongrute from where he sits, but right now, he was tied up and sat on the floor.

“Is the state of affairs important? You guys live with your eyes and ears closed. With the nose, chasing the smell of money.”

“What, what… … .”

still talk

Even if someone other than himself rebelled, their appearance would not have changed at all.

I am not interested in anything other than my comfort.

“Sir Coltman.”

“Speak, Your Majesty.”

The emperor seated on the throne, Gawil von Rongrth, was not at all taken aback by this unprecedented situation.

Many aristocrats were surprised by such boldness, but the emperor was just playing a role that he had planned.

“What do you want?”

“Goodbye to the empire.”

“is it. vector.”

Gawil called out to Vector, who was forcibly hiding his unconcealable size behind Coltman.

“Yes, yep.”

“Did you want to sit in this seat?”

“That, that… … .”

Vector hesitated to answer.

The important figures in the imperial palace, whom I usually met several times in the imperial family, but who were only snorted or ignored, lay face down on the floor.

The emperor alone asked himself something. I couldn’t open my mouth in such an unfamiliar and trembling situation.

But Vector finally closed his eyes and said.

“Yes, wet… … .”

“good night. It’s a grand feat.”

Gawil rose from the throne before Vector finished speaking. A smile did not leave his lips.

He put down the crown he didn’t normally wear, saying it was heavy and cumbersome.

“good.”

“uh… … .”

Gawil slowly walked over and pushed Vector on the back.

Vector, who had been quietly watching, looked around, then swallowed and stepped away.

The moment I lifted my trembling legs and put my heavy hips on the throne. Vector felt an indescribable feeling.

“Don’t declare it.”

“Lungs, Your Majesty!”

“How can this… … !”

The script is complete.

“Now you are the emperor of this empire.”
