Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up
Chapter 58: The Latest Magic Weapon
"Melvin, are you ready?
"This is it, Prime Minister. Yes, of course."
The man answered confidently to the old Left Prime Minister's question.
A man in his mid-twenties, tall but thin.
Hair and beard are all - you - can - stretch. The robe that should be worn for a good price is too old to look like a rag anymore.
"With this magic cannon I developed, whether it's a country or a dragon, it's charcoal that erases anything. Hihihihihihi"
A skinny magician with a strange laugh was a genius enough to lead an empire known as the Magic Powers.
He created most of the advanced magic tools that no other country has yet.
The "Magic Cannon" installed in the form of a thick wall was also one of them.
"Traditional artillery used to fly an iron sphere by exploding magic. But this magic cannon is fundamentally different from such a toy. This super-compresses the magic itself and shoots at super fast speeds. The range slightly crossed the border, so that I could still aim for the King's City of another country... what a terrible weapon I've created! Hihihihihihi!"
An incredible weapon that could change the concept of war.
But this required a huge supply of magic.
It was under the magic cannon that solved it.
What was gathered there were exotics brought in by the Empire as a result of the war of aggression.
He is a prisoner of war.
Among them, they were ex-soldiers from countries that had strongly resisted the Empire and were therefore the most severely treated.
It's like a hose being held and forced into their mouths.
The hose was connected to the magic cannon.
"" "" ~ ~ ~!...!
I can't speak because my mouth is blocked.
But their faces were distorted by pain without exception, and they stared at the skinny wizard with anger and resentment.
In fact, through the hose, their magic is forcibly sucked up and supplied to the magic cannon.
"Hihihihihihi! I am using the magic of the fools who defied my Empire for my empire! I'd rather thank you!
Looking down at the prisoners, the skinny wizard laughs.
It is the elderly prime minister who, in contrast to such an exuberant man, has not been able to hide his anxiety from his face.
"... but, Melvin the Wizard. Are you sure... you think we can kill him now?
"Oh, oh, does the Chancellor not believe in the power of my weapon?
"No, no, I don't believe you. However, rumor has it that it is a monster equivalent to a catastrophe...."
"Hihihihihi, then, even more! This is a great opportunity to show the world the power of this magic cannon!

"This is...?
I woke up in an unfamiliar room.
It is a murderous room with almost nothing on it, but the walls and ceilings are obviously of superior construction, which is convincing to say that it is a noble mansion of some kind.
I'm sure I was in the slums.
Why are you here?
And my body is so heavy.
It's as if it's sinking into a sea of lead.
I tried to move my body, and I felt happier.
I was sitting in a chair with my arms and legs restrained.
"......! Wow, what am I...?
"Are you awake?
Ugh!
Turning to the unexpected voice, there was a woman in a stunning dress.
The makeup is thick on a well-made face somewhere.
Young, but at least forty years old.
What kind of presence does this woman have when she says she has a luxurious white body...?
Comparable to your sister... no, more than that.
I noticed a cold sweat coming out of my head.
I have a hunch that if I were to fight this woman, I would not win first.
Who the hell are you...?
Are you the Holy Knight Remulu? Even with this shape, I was able to see the stray figure. You should be honored. "
Saying such a noble thing, the woman smiles on her white face.
It was a smile that looked down and despised all beings, far from softness.
"Hey, where were we? What are you going to do to me...?
I ask the woman to squeeze it out somehow.
"Wow, isn't the little girl a very powerful mouth in front of the stray? Yep, I feel good about the straw now. Let me answer your question."
A woman who keeps people in this state, no matter what.
But to grasp the situation, I waited a long time for the woman's words.
"This is a straw castle in the center of the Imperial Capital. I have nothing to do with you, but you've come here to lure him."
Teodoo?
Ah, no way... the Kranzel Empire!?
And this woman...
"Empress, Deodora Cranzel....."
Even the pope of St. Melt and the heroic king of the Romana kingdom have never seen him.
The unknown Empress is in front of me right now...
In this unrealistic situation, I lose my word for a while.
It would be more realistic to think that you are still dreaming.
Nevertheless, why would the absolute monarch who ruled the Empire lure me... no, to lure him?
He's the only one I know.
"Attracting a no-life king...?
"Dear left. A no-life king in which nations were afraid and not even the king of heroes had a hand or a leg. Complete the Undead Crusade, also known as the Disaster Class. This is an unprecedented opportunity to demonstrate its prestige for a country that is about to dominate the world."
I can't believe the Empire was watching...
When the hell did that happen?
... I've heard that the Empire has the most powerful intelligence organization.
The scope of their intelligence activities is extensive, so they have a fairly detailed grasp of information from around the world, even though there is little interaction with other countries.
Speaking of which, he just called me "The Knight Remull."
He was supposed to be wearing the Knight's gear and hiding his identity... and even his name.
The rumor may be true.
Apparently I was put to sleep and brought here in the meantime.
It must have been quite a distance from the city of that kingdom to become the empire's capital.
I can't believe I didn't realize it until I woke up... in such an incredible way that I remember the battle.
"Your Majesty, I have a report."
Soon a black figure was kneeling behind the Empress.
I feel intuitive.
I thought this was the rumored intelligence organization.
The target is approaching the Imperial Capital at intense speed.
"How's the magic cannon going?
"They've already loaded 90% of the magic."
Up you go. No matter how no-life King is, there won't be a single drop of that magic cannon. "
Magic cannon?
It's an unfamiliar word.
"The latest magic weapon filled with more than 10,000 magic weapons to shoot at."
"Nah...."
More than 10,000 magicians?
"If you do that, the magic will run wild and cause huge damage...?
"Don't you want me to lick the magic of the Empire? Of course, the Empire's magic cannon prevented that."
I heard that the magic technology of the Empire is developing so that it is not comparable to other countries, but it is not so much....
"According to estimates, the effective range that can destroy a city is 2,000 kilometers. It will reach the capital of King Romana."
"Eh...."
Then, the army is no longer necessary...
It could radically change the way war has been.
This is the Empire...
The world domination that the Empress has just spoken of may not be a dream story if it comes to this superpower.
But...
"... you really think you can defeat the No-Life King with that?
"What?
"I can assure you. No matter how many empires, it's impossible to defeat him."
