Chapter Chapter 102: 11. Not a myth, but a legend (15) (2/2)

“I cannot tell you of the fine details of this plan. Because the more people that know of it, the more likely it is to fail.”

“Am I included in those people?”

“Yes, Lady Aris is also included.”

My trust in this plan plummeted.

“Because this is a method that Professor Nicerwin saw fit to personally teach me, and only to me.”

My trust in this plan skyrocketed back.

And at the same time, my feelings of pity for the students that would be my enemy also rose.

What kind of merciless strategy that Professor Nicerwin, who was equally merciless with his allies, unleash upon them!

“Well, but if I were to briefly summarise it…”

The vice-president made a face that seemed extremely evil even to me, who was on his side… and said.

“Sedition and lies.”

…Eh?

#22 Their story: A certain villain boss’s story.

“Everything has been taken account of.”

“Has it now…”

Was it the empire’s interference tactics.

Or was it because of our nervousness for our final strike.

There were no casualties in the spontaneous riot that had occurred, but there were numerous injuries.

“Are we going to carry on like this?”

“We’ve come too far to stop now. Even if we stop here, all that’s left for us is death at that cruel emperor’s hands.”

“I understand.”

We had come far, far beyond the point of no return.

As we had mobilised all our troops, we had already been tracked down by the empire.

There was no way to turn back.

We could only advance forwards.

“Proceed as planned.”

“Yes!”

As my subordinate nodded once and hurriedly moved out, I too, rose from my seat.

A declaration of war against the emperor.

It was not what I had wanted, but as the leader of the anti-empire army whose history spanned over a thousand years, it was something I had to do.

“How much longer will it take for us to hijack the magic video tools?”

“In about five minutes time, we will have total access to every magic video tool in the empire.”

“Very good. The castle walls have already been conquered… are there any issues with the men assigned to the castle gates?”

“There were some injuries due to the earlier riot, but not to the point that they cannot keep the walls under control.”

“Tell them not to be complacent. If we look down on them simply because they are children, we will be countered. Never forget that they are the greatest future geniuses of the empire.”

“Yes, sir!”

Although there were some setbacks, they were not unsurmountable ones.

Although we couldn’t see the events of this imperial festival due to our poor start getting us discovered by the empire, the level of the students are always similar every year.

The only real outlier was Yugrasia which even had a swordsmaster.

Why a swordsmaster appeared from the summoner’s school Yugrasia and not the swordsmanship school Arucia was unknown, but the place we were attempting to conquer was Arucia’s main base.

On the contrary, due to Yugrasia, both Marcis and Mercaria were sending their students over here, so we could create even better results.

“We have control over all the empire’s magic video tools!”

“Very good, now is time for action!”

I heard my subordinates roar.

The time we would unleash our hatred of the empire, that we had only kept burning within our chests, was finally here!

“Aside from the injured, all units get to your stations!”

I looked on as everyone filed out one by one.

There was probably no more reasons for us to return to this dark underground hideout.

Because no matter what happened here, we would prove that we existed!

“This is a good place.”

Once I came up to the surface, I found a place with a good background and took out a magic video tool.

All the magic video tools in the empire were already under our control.

“Let us begin.”

I nodded and poured in magic power, and started a historic broadcast.

“My name is Pelarius run Magratina. I am a descendent of the royal family of the country of Magratina, which was destroyed by the empire long ago in the past, and the current leader of the anti-empire army!”

The wise old man had long vanished. Right now, I was a descendant of kings, fighting against the empire!

“I, Pelarius run Magratina declare! At this moment!”

“Fuck you Nerkiaaaaaaaaaa!”

“Fuck you, Nerk… wait, no!”

Just then, a powerful voice roared from behind me.

“What?!”

What my eyes beheld when I turned my head, was a ruin that once used to be a castle wall.

And that was just the beginning.

“Send everyone there, and block that place!”

The students we’d only just managed to lock up could escape through the destroyed walls.

A person that seemed to be a commander issued a command to blockade the broken walls…

“You block it then.”

“Yeah, always ordering us around. It’s not like you ever even do anything to begin with.”

“What the hell did you just say to me you little shit?”

A sudden insubordination of the soldiers? At this time?

‘Kghh…’

I hurriedly urged my subordinate who was holding the magic video tool to focus back onto me.

If that scene was broadcasted as is to the entire empire, then our value would drop to the ground.

“I declare once again, as the leader of the anti-empire army, I declare war on the Karuan!”

It was then.

That we could hear the sounds of singing.

A beautiful chorus that could not be produced from the throats of man.

But what was inside that song was not beauty, but a power more destructive than any other!

“What the…”

I dumbly turned my eyes to the sky.

Tens, no, hundreds of spirits and elementals were singing as they flew through the air.

And the moment the song ended, every single elemental said in one unified voice.

-Elemental Roar.

#23 Their story: A certain viewer’s story.

The people who had been enjoying the imperial festival found themselves faced with chaos.

Every single magic video tool in the capital had suddenly began to show the face of an old man.

And the words that came from that old man were absolutely shocking!

“Wh, what’s this?”

“…I know right?”

“Is it some sort of act?”

And then the citizens of the empire would be shocked again, but in a totally different meaning.

-Elemental Roar.

As they saw the anti-empire army get completely annihilated by Yugrasia’s attack, an attack targeted solely for a single traitor!

And on that day, the fall of the anti-empire army was broadcasted live throughout the empire.
