Chapter 325: The Emperor of Blood and Iron’s Perspective (2) (1/2)
Since that event, two years have slowly passed by
“Y-Your Imperial Majesty” Alfred Northlord De Saedius spoke “Count Cyclone and Count David, they…!”
“Stop” I cut him off because it was obvious what he was about to say They had lost In fact, they had lost a strategic location
Grit…!
A fresh scent of blood filled my nose I could feel pain from my lower lip I can’t even fathom how many tihtened my fist
Crack…!
The throne’s armrest shattered just like my heart; into a one
Count Cyclone and David had both been my loyal subordinates since my rebel days, but now they were dead Even I, a cold-blooded eest this news
But I couldn’t show it I resisted the urge to destroy everything around s out
I was the emperor, a father to all my people, and a barrier who should protect the empire from the northern evil I wasn’t allowed to falter This was just work Simply work Merely… the death of two precious subordinates
“Your Imperial Majesty” Alfred continued with his report “T-That’s… not the end… your Imperial Majesty”
“”
“I’iri”
Suddenly, I could feel my ice-cold façade collapse
“All 150,000 soldiers”
“”
“N-None of theiri teic location of all
“Your Imperial Majesty… the enemy”
“Stop”
“Y-Your Imperial Majesty”
“I said stop”
“However”
“Stop!”
I blasted a roar in the tent that was so great that the whole camp shook from the echo
…damn it
“Excuse yourself for now” I told Alfred “I don’t want to hear it anymore”
“Your Imperial Majesty”
“I want to rest, Alfred”
“!”
“It’s a tiring night”
Defeat, defeat, death, and more defeat Bad news back to back took a toll on th
“Yes, your Imperial Majesty” Alfred bowed “Then I shall excuse myself Please… even just for today… rest well”
I did not reply to him
After he had left,
“There’s no… solution” I pondered deep into the night “Nothing”
The ene No matter if it was my army or my subordinates, absolutely nobody survived the encounter with the enemy
“God damn it… I should have realised it then”
Two years ago, when the mysterious disease that swept over the whole of the Nosferatu region appeared, I did not expect it to be a foreshadowing for worse things to coas, the enes from another world
<ul><li>
Surrender and you will live, or die otherwise
</li></ul>
These aliens suddenly s bow before them
There was no exception Huons… they wanted all to subnagas seriously at first, including myself Such a lame threat could not affectEver since the dragons taught us how to usesince surpassed the li was also extreineered cannons and engines was as groundbreaking as the discovery of as’ threat was nothing but bullshi+t to ed to hunt down the ancient green dragon, Theseus
“Phew”
I let out a long sigh as I recalled Theseus’ corpse hung up at the Agnaga arainst a 6000-year-old as hunted it down to warn and display their aea
“We are this strong Surrender You don’t stand a chance”
It was like they were voicing this with that action
“Is suicide my only option?”
Out of frustration, a ridiculous remark slipped out of my mouth I still had two more lives because of the Wheel of Three Lives
I had already used the Wheel of Resurrection in ht of the Crimson Flames The Wheels of Reincarnation and Return were still available
But… even those could not resolve this bleak situation
If I still had the Wheel of Resurrection, a doith me Unfortunately, that was impossible with only the Wheels of Reincarnation and Return Even if I activated the Wheel of Reincarnation, the continent would have fallen in the Agnagas’ hands before th
It was even worse for the Wheel of Return, because the Wheel of Three Lives had to be used in sequence: Resurrection, Reincarnation and Return To use the Wheel of Return, I would have to wait at least 15 to 30 years for my reincarnation’s past-self to awaken his powers The whole continent would already be destroyed by the Agnagas, so what use was there to try to change the past?
“Hu”
Devoid of solutions, all I could do was sigh Of course, I knew that I wasn’t being zeb However… the accu defeats, repeated retreats, deaths ofwere all shaking e into the eneas myself… but I couldn’t afford to act so flippantly, sincean emperor is no easy task As the leader of the entire huht
“By hook or by crook” I clenched looh
“I will never succuoes extinct… I… will destroy you by any means…! To the very last moment… kek”
“Impressive”
Suddenly, I could hear a wohtened senses thanks to Oraclomind There weren’t many individuals who could hide their presence and approach me
In other words
An assassin
A skilled one had come!
Swish!+ I whipped out both Kaiforce and Mitra and turned around
“You are fast”
