Hero without Blood or Tear

[194] Is there hope? (2)

* * *

“This is serious.”

I didn't know Valpurgis' pretty face would open in the last few days. It's because the people are coming down from the north all the time.

Many of the cities to the north were devastated by sea level and sea level attacks. Several governments in the north of the Empire are already paralyzed. People were noble, ordinary, and unwanted.

“This is bad. Bavaria is getting worse. ”

“The stored grain is rotting. Beer's all broken up. There's nothing I can do about it. ”

Bavaria was wealthy from the beginning. Despite Valpurgis' rule, her meticulous household is full of supplies.

But as they began to rot and rot on their own, there was no action. The laws of nature and common sense have become old times in a few days. The dark energy from the one crouching from the grave is destroying everything.

“Even if it's an orgasm, it can withstand it. They dig for grass and live hard. ”

Even the worst famine on Earth, Ireland's atmosphere, survived 7/8 of the population. At that time, the Irish said they chewed seaweed that had never been spoken to since they had nothing to eat.

It was an extreme situation, but with the help of nature, he somehow lived. But what if even nature betrays us?

Whew.

When I saw you on the wall, a sandstorm was rising from afar. And the black wind thundered. It was expressed as the wind, but it was actually a swarm of locusts.

Suddenly, an enormous swarm of deformed locusts was spreading and feeding on everything. There was not a single blade of grass left where they passed.

“We're still holding out, but Asaza should be out in a week. ”

“After that, you won't be able to catch up. Asaza will grow exponentially. ”

Dark circles were noticeable around Valpurgis' spotless eyes. As a monarch, I felt distressed.

“I don't want to see people eating their children and abandoning their parents... abandoning those thousand wheels. But that's how it's gonna be. There are so many dead bodies by the roadside due to illness and hunger that they won't be able to get rid of them. ”

Valpurgis was a clever monarch, so instead of an optimistic prediction, he accurately portrayed the situation. Yeah, I bet by the end of next week there 'll be a human market.

“Don't worry. I'll stop that from happening. ”

I held her hand tightly.

“Now that we have a pre-trial meeting, shall we go? The end of the world, the work of the empire is important. ”

We can't let the Empire get to us no matter what happens. We have no choice but to continue to do what we can in the end under the belief that we can win.

Even though the end of the world is coming tomorrow, I heard that I was going to plant an apple tree today. When I hadn't experienced the Apocalypse, I thought it was stupid, but after going through it, I even thought it was wise.

Hope... Even if you don't like it, you shouldn't let it go until the end.

On that day, a pre-election meeting was held. This time, strangely, we gathered together as if we were having a video conference using magic.

It was customary to remove the magic and confirm it in person, but it was urgent.

Significant agendas were addressed at the meeting on this day.

First, Leon, son of Trier, married to the fake daughter of the Demon Lord of Fire, inherited his father's place. When Patale Montstrum returned, he was struck by a false controversy about his bride, who was his hidden twin sister.

Since the fake princess had already given birth to a son and her husband was a solid successor, there was no one there to argue.

Second, Philipp, who was called the Iron Pilot, returned to the Pfalz position. It was already the year of Friedrich, king of Bohemia. No one opposed Philip's abdomen.

For the third time, I, Ballerstead, am the new protégé. Sachsen's Pre-Election was abolished and a new Pre-Election of Wittenbuyers was born.

For the last four times, we tried to announce the Emperor's Crucian Carp and select a new emperor, but this failed. The elite were shocked by the Emperor's death, and the issue of the next emperor was postponed.

“For the sake of the Empire, you'd better see the decision here. ”

I mostly agree with my opinions, but they were not able to afford it. The territory was a mess and there was a disagreement about who to elect as the new emperor.

Pre-electives were weary and wet faces. Even politically skilled people can't hide their depths at the same time.

“Then I'll postpone this to the next meeting. ”

A new emperor may prove that the empire is healthy, but it has not been pushed hard.

What good is the Empire now? We have the minimum order to maintain the empire even if new preliminaries are elected. It was not the emperor who was originally supporting the Empire, but the seven pillars called the Pre-Election.

“This is the end of the meeting. ”

It was great just to have this kind of result. As everyone was leaving, I glanced at Premier Minds. Then there was his vision.

“Archbishop Mainz. ”

“Speak, Duke. ”

“I have something important to tell you in person. about the current situation. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Premiere Minds knows this is not just a disaster.

“Empire... no, there is only one way to save the world. I have a lot to discuss with you. ”

He is the Guardian. We must convince him to give up the Guardian's throne somehow.

“I'll find him myself. When would that be appropriate?”

“Hmm... The turmoil in the territory is urgent. You gonna be okay in three days? We've got a lot of work to do right now. ”

“I understand.”

Three days later.

I used the shadow dimension and set out for Mindz. Mainz could be a great example if he used this dark power to enter the city in a godly city. So I went to the outskirts of the city and saw the miserable sights.

Wing, wing. Wing.

There were many dead bodies along the road and countless swarms of flies flew by. Rats are digging up human corpses everywhere. Rats swarm in and out of the corpse with holes in it.

I had to bite my lip. This is where the archbishop of the famous Old Horse Ranch came to take care of the city.

The undead fall at the bottom of the road, staring at the sky with plague and hunger. They say flies go in and out of the mouth, but they just stare at the sky with their mouths wide open.

“Get out of the way!"

“Get lost!”

Suddenly, there was a commotion. The people who dug the ground and ate the ants found a pile of them.

People shake their fists and say they want to eat ant eggs. While the adults were fighting, the children were smart enough to pick up and eat ant eggs on the ground.

“How could it get so bad so fast...? ”

It wouldn't be like this if only I could eat the stored food. Now the empire's emperors wanted to be merciful, but the wheat was rotting and they were starving, too.

“Philly, I have to fix this. ”

I stroked the old horse's neck and went inside Mindz. The city's spectacular and old-fashioned looks were unhappy.

“Pre-elect Wittenbuyer. ”

“Welcome. Your Highness.”

When I arrived at the palace of the Pre-Election Palace, my servants greeted me indiscriminately. The people in the palace still looked fine. Looks like you're eating somehow.

“I'll show you. Your Majesty.”

I left Philly in charge and went inside the palace. The church was located in the palace. There, Premiere Minds was praying to himself.

I waited quietly near him, not wanting to interrupt. A long time later, preemie Mintz opened his mouth first.

“I pray every day to save, to save. ”

“I see.”

“But for some reason, the Shinigami of Light is not responding. I even lost my sacred power to his priests. It's been an unprecedented incident since the Church was founded. ”

Somehow, there were many priests in the city, and I felt miserable about Mainz. Even in the current disaster, there are enough priests because they are able to purify or create food and water and survive moderately.

Perhaps the pride of light had died.

“I'm sorry.”

“Yes, I'm truly sorry. ”

“Times are tough. ”

My lands were no exception. The architect, Rischli, was doing his best, but he was cleaning up the bodies every day. People talked about eating from morning until night. And in my dreams, I searched for bread. But there was nothing to put in my mouth.

“You said you had something to say. Have a seat.”

We sat next to the worshipers. Pre-elect Mainz was still staring at the shrine while drawing the sign. It was a gorgeous golden temple that shaped the sunlight in the divine statue of light.

It definitely belonged to the majesty of God, but the Lord who was praised for that holy thing was already dead.

“Did you know this was the end? ”

“That's what I'm told," he said. I don't know the details. ”

“The one crouching in the grave is approaching Likentiatus. ”

I explained it calmly. It was a long story.

“In order to resolve this crisis, we need to unseal the struggling death seal and have the two of them fight outside Rikentius. ”

“Hmmm……. ”

The radical talk seemed to bother the aging priest, but it was something I had to do.

“If this planet becomes a battlefield, then I can't afford it. They've already been defeated. The Church of Margaery is not the only one who can't get in touch with the worshipers. ”

After much deliberation, preliminary Mainz asked the Guardian.

“I heard there were three remaining guardians. Who are you, me, and the other one? ”

“Elf of the Eastern Forest, Elungrasil. ”

“So if the three give up the Guardian, the struggling death will be released? ”

“That's right. That's our only hope. Because when the one crouching in the grave comes closer, there won't be anything left on this planet. ”

In my story, Premiere Minds got up from his seat with deep concerns.

“That sounds reasonable. ”

I had a bad feeling.

“Archbishop.”

He shakes his head excitedly.

“Bondi Nansei is equipped with collaborators like you. This is a test of character. To check the faithfulness of those who serve themselves and the mission of the Guardian! ”

This is crazy. Is that how you decided?

I can't believe Premiere Minds is such a jerk. But it wasn't that I didn't understand. He has lived his whole life in the pride of light, in the duty of a guardian.

But if the Light is dead and we have to give up the Guardian's duty, we won't be able to accept it easily. To refuse such harsh truths, you must sell me out.

“Valrusted! You truly are a wicked man. The end can be overcome by the salvation of the gods! How dare you let the forces of darkness go free! ”

It sounds like such a conservative idea to let the Dark Army go and save the world.

“Phew... ”

I sighed a long time. In fact, I came to expect the negotiations to break down, but when I met these results, I felt sad.

Boom.

At that time, the door of the cathedral was opened, and armed men came rushing in. It was the famous knights of the Wheel of the Mainz.

The knight commander is‘ Ludwig II ', the knight king of Mohachi, famous for his 12 imperial palaces. He was the last king of the Underworld and the only one to survive the battle of Mohaji.

So he was called the Knight King of Mohich after Mohich, whose kingdom was destroyed. After that, he settled in Minds and put down the suffering of fasting and made a vow to God and dedicated everything.

“You've been preparing this from the start. ”

I expected there to be a fight with Premiere Minds. But I didn't expect the Knights to be preparing to dig a trap.

“Actually, I didn't think that far ahead. But I had the help of a wise friend. ”

“Someone put you up to it. Archbishop.”

I didn't have to ask who it was. It was because a handsome-looking man appeared, split to the right and to the left.

“Look who it is. ”

I heard a screaming sound coming from my mouth. He has greeted me politely.

“Your Excellency, after your predecessor, Vitenbier, ”

It was a Hessen-Kazel bag that could be referred to as Angsuk and this way. He was the emperor who robbed Wurzburg of what I had taken by killing the Demon King Parza.

I was trying to get my hands on it, but I heard the plague broke and I went back home. But I didn't know you were up against preliminary weather.

By his side were two mighty men who exuded immense strength. It was the blind swordsman, Peter von Horatico, and Michael Hunt, who was the master of the impending defense.

They were both the swordsmen of the twelve palaces, the source of the power that the Hessen-Kazelle Regent had against me. I'll tell you, I've been putting up with them for a while.

“My lord, you've caught me by the sword. ”

The swarming faction at the Great Chapel was truly luxurious. It looks like three of the 12 Imperial Palaces have gathered and almost all the famous Wheel Knights have arrived. The other wizards seemed agitated.

With this much power, the Demon King Caltus will be ranked number one. If it wasn't for the Demon Lord Odgash, no one in the empire would have broken through.

Especially since the knight king of the mohachi is an absolute connoisseur with Marie.

“Your evil walk ends today, Your Grace. Your defeat will end the imperial disaster. Of course, since you're in the Guardian's position, I won't kill you. Just take her to a monastery on a distant island. ”

“Idiot. Are you suggesting the apocalypse is my fault? ”

The Hessen-Kazel method made me frown. That scum didn't want to see the nature of the situation, but was just using it to his advantage.

What a hero. Usually the governor of Hessen-Kazelle is called a hero, but he's had a lot of complaints today, and he's not.

“Isn't that right? You are full of the Dark Energy all over you.Everyone who holds justice in his heart knows it. ”

Obviously it is. I'm supported by creatures of darkness, so I have a strong energy between me. Perfect for setting me up as evil and inciting.

“Ugh? Heheh... ”

I could not help but laugh. After this, I abandoned my manners first. It's the most useless thing I have.

“Who are these fools who don't even know who they are? ”

The clergy broke my heart, I said.

“Evil, indeed! ”

“What a horrible thing to say! ”

“Marga is alive and well! He's just testing us! ”

I took a step in their cry and approached the place where the sacred image of the sun was taken. A shout came out, but no one stood up easily because he knew my strength.

“Look, you bastards. ”

I hold the sacred object in my hands and raise it over my head. Everyone was surprised and didn't know what to do. It is said to contain his hair, which was left behind by Margaery, the Divine Spirit of Light. It's the Church's favorite.

But I threw it on the marble floor with all my might.

Ka 'ang!

The golden temple is shattered with a loud noise. I spit on it and said.

“I searched your gods. Idiots.”
