Chapter 1. Kingdom of Leaden Workshop

A hundred spears of water rush towards the late Halstein.

“Come!”

The Grand Duke of Halstein roars ferociously. A fierce aura flickers from his sword. He growled at me like a beast in a daze.

It was a marriage.

The wizards were distracted by holding the Salamanders captive with spiritual restraint magic and keeping the defensive magic to protect Emperor Kars, and the knights were unable to spare time to keep the running sand golems from being restored even if they were broken.

If Earl Halstein can't stop this strike, this tension will collapse in an instant. In other words, it was a battle.

By the way,

I think everyone's forgotten something because they're drunk from the heat of the fight. My goal is not to win you over.

Fifty of 100 spears of water flew towards the Grand Heir of Halstein swiftly turned and struck the left wall of the central hall of the star palace.

Krrrrrrrrrrrrr!

“What, what?! ”

Earl Halstein couldn't help but be embarrassed.

I don't want to battle you. If we get out of here, that's it.

The Grand Duke of Halstein was unable to stop me from shooting 50 spears of water flying towards him.

“Let's go!”

- Yeah!

- Yeah, Dad!

I hoisted up in the breeze caused by the silk and escaped out through the cracked wall. Wounded and Norm followed.

Huh? But you think there's one missing?

- Where are you going? I'll burn them all! Rrrrgh!

The salamander tied to Mana's rope writhing. The wizards noticed that the fierce resistance would break their bonds.

I had a tsk tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

“Seize it!”

Earl Halstein yells and chases me forward. As the salamanders and sand golems disappeared, so did the knights and wizards who sighed.

Persistent bastards.You 'll have to hit them hard to give up.

“Salamander!”

- Heheh heh! Are you going to burn them all?!

“Let's give him a big one! ”

- Good! Heheh heh heh!

You like it that much?

I pushed the Salamander with enormous spiritual affinity. The salamander became the shape of a burning giant bird.

The vicious salamander reappeared, and the knights and wizards were flawed.

I then instructed Silf as well.

“See the power of the Salamander. ”

- Hah… ·.

The answer is endless, but Silf, on my command, stirs up the wind. I was just about to use the spleen technique I had in mind when I signed with Sylph.

Silf aggregated oxygen in the air.

When the flames and oxygen of the salamander met, the energy became unbelievably large.

- Heheheh heh heh!

A place where salamanders get bigger and bigger. You grin viciously, gazing down at the Grand Chamberlain of Halstein's group like a giant Demon King on the line.

“Don't, stop! ”

“The Starpalace is flying! ”

“Shield! Shield! ”

The wizards quickly spread their defensive enchantments and put a protective shield over the entire starbow.

The knights were also prepared for the huge explosion of the Salamander.

Only the Marquis of Halstein lunges fearlessly.

“Here, take it! ”

Earl Halstein leaps towards the giant salamander with a swing of his blade.

Now! Now!

- Burn it all!

The salamander finally blew up the whole body.

Kwaaaaaaaaang ―

Explosive!

Salamander and Silk combined fireworks hit the Star Bow.

It was Earl Halstein who tried to stop it with a blade, but it flew backwards, unable to withstand the blast.

The fireworks then strike the shield spread by the wizards.

“Khhh!”

“Stop... Cough! ”

“Cough!”

Some wizards collapse vomiting blood. I even looked like I was trying to protect the Starpalace with my bare hands. It was natural that the collapse of the Starpalace would endanger the safety of Emperor Kars inside.

Okay. Okay.

If I do this one more time, I'm gonna blow it all away.

There are a lot of people guarding Emperor Kars, so it should be fine, but if you turn the Starfish Palace into a ruin, you can make me pay a small price for deceiving me.

However, I hesitated as I tried to put it into practice.

The palace was not the only one with Emperor Kars in it. There are many maids and servants who have spent their lives in the Starpalace. There is also Jessie, the only one who has affection for Emperor Kars.

And the childhood stories that Emperor Kars told me.

Is it really the right choice to destroy the place that holds the memories of the Human Karshhorn?

If we destroy this place, won't we give up the only heart he has left?

There may be irreversible consequences. Emperor Kars has become an emotionless monster as the Conquering Monarch and may never return.

- What are you gonna do?

The salamander approached me, poised to attack again.

I hesitated.

I felt like such a fool.

I'm the one who fooled him into believing that I could convince Emperor Kars to the end and open the door to his heart.

- Decide!

The salamander shouts again.

I shook my head.

“Let's go!”

I flew high with your spirits. The erl of Halstein, the knights, and the sorcerers no longer seem to be able to pursue me.

After riding the wind through the sky, the flight was comfortable. When the fluid was controlled by Wounded's power and flown up, I felt a bit bad about the blood rushing to my head.

Leading the way, I suddenly smiled as if I was like mother chickens and chicks following a line of gnomes, undies, silks and salamanders behind me.

However, the salamander at the end seemed to be very uncomfortable.

“What are you complaining about? ”

- This sucks!

“What's not to like? ”

It's your temper that's so lame.

- It didn't burn much! I should have beaten them all and trampled them! After all the hard work you've been through, there's no value!

It turns out the Salamander was tied up in a fight the whole time. When I think of my demonic temper, I don't think of it as a castle.

“So what do you want to do? ”

- You have to stick a fireball in the middle of the eclipse!

“Only innocent people die doing that. ”

- So we can instill fear!

Have you seen this devil?

However, when I thought about it, I was not wrong at all. Of course, I don't want to cause any personal harm, but if you just go back like this, the power of the Horn Empire will increase immeasurably.

Stabbing the vanity of our Kingdom of Leaden, attacking Kingdom of Leaden, and deceiving me, the biggest obstacle of my plan, to lure me here……. I feel like everything is proceeding as planned by Emperor Kars.

After taking one punch, I thought I might have to make something big. As far as the enemy capital.

Hmm.

However, if we try to kill innocent people and create chaos, we will only provoke anger and boost the people of the Horn Empire's desire for war.

Then…….

I've made up my mind.

I understand that there are 100,000 troops currently stationed in Tiberius, the Imperial Palace, who are supposed to lead the Emperor Kars himself. The role of recruiting, training and sending additional troops into the battlefield will also take place here.

Then if we temporarily paralyze the traffic of the Emperor here, Emperor Kars won't be able to leave until we clear up the chaos.

“It's a salamander.”

- Don't call me! Wormtail mole!

Do you want to get hit?

I endured my anger with patience.

“Then let's punch him like you said. ”

Burn them all to death?

“…… Why do you keep trying to burn someone? ”

- Then what is it?

I conveyed my thoughts to the Salamander.

I read my thoughts and the salamander liked it a lot.
