My Villains Episode 469
66. The Silver Prince (24)
“...at Zelntree?”
Upon receiving my report on a horse on the way to the imperial army’s garrison, Prince Ulkar narrowed his eyes slightly.
“It is a strange thing. Could it be that you have mistaken it for a fraud that you fell into at Asag?”
“Hmm, then wouldn’t you have searched around the High Castle rather than this way?”
“He is too. I heard that the King of Death has already been killed.”
“Yes, but...
I scratched my eyebrows with a vague expression.
“Is a necromancer a necromancer for nothing? It’s a bit embarrassing to be relieved that he’s dead.”
“It’s embarrassing... that he even became an undead himself?”
“He’s not a god, so he can’t turn himself into an undead after he’s already dead.”
The battle at Seteniora Monastery comes to mind. Even though Luke lost his life in a surprise attack, his undead army fought without any problems
. Ghouls, Banshee, Dullahans and other high-ranking undead.”
“however?”
“Since Ghouls and Dullahans are at that level, wouldn’t a death knight with a higher rank than them be able to do even more?”
“for example?”
“Well, you can even handle necromancy.”
“You mean you resurrected the King of Death with necromancy?”
“I think the odds are very low.”
Of course, this is impossible in the game.
The Death Knight is obviously a powerful minion, and depending on the build, it can exert much higher combat power than the main body of the Necromancer
.
In addition, as a member of the 3 knights – Death Knight, Dark Knight, and Hell Knight, the anonymity of ‘three devils’ is more widely known – he is also a magic swordsman in his own way.
However, the only magic that can be used is ‘Torture’, which is a comprehensive set of curses, ‘Arrow of the Underworld’, an attack spell, and ‘Corpse Control’, which moves corpses and skeletons. So, to resurrect Luke, it was impossible to fully revive him or make him into a lich.
In the end, what Death Knight can do is to raise Luke’s body and turn it into a zombie or cut off his flesh to make a skeleton soldier.
no i thought it would
“But it’s hard to say that it’s normal for the summoned beast to stand still even after the magician dies. Maybe something we never imagined happened.”
When a necromancer dies, all of his minions fall to dust.
However, Luke’s Death Knight was not enough to keep it from dying, so he ran away with his master’s body. It’s a bonus that he even took care of his soul using his unique equipment ‘Tombstone’.
Since such an absurd thing had happened, even if Luke had been resurrected by the Death Knight, it wouldn’t have been surprising.
I clicked my tongue and continued.
“Shit, I was complacent. I put it off for a while because I wanted to see what I would do if he ran away, but I never thought I would be in trouble here.”
“Self-blame. Didn’t you get swept away by the phone right after that? No wonder you didn’t pay attention.” Prince Ulkar came up with an answer after a short thought.
“As soon as this is over and the army is ready, we should start investigating Zelntree.”
“Are you going to move the army again? Everyone must be very tired.”
“I have no intention of mobilizing a large force. Since the monks of the Norik Order and the Grand Master of La Palais Palace are going to step out, a small number of elites who can keep pace with them will suffice.”
“I will join you too.”
Princess Theodora, who was galloping beside her, sneaked in.
“In order to avenge the saint, of course, as a paladin, you must burn all the seeds of disaster left by the king of death.”
U U M
“己三”
The prince nodded at her determined words.
“I hope the search ends early. We’ll have to go to the royal capital before winter at the latest.”
“...and the king? Princess, are you going to the royal capital?” For a while, the princess nodded her head with a distraught face.
“The three bishops of Hongui have issued an order. He told me to have an audience with the Patriarch for friendship with the Church of El Ganore.”
“...is that bad?”
However, it was really regrettable that I, too, had to receive a title from this baseless imperial ruler.
“I have a request for you, Your Majesty.”
Prince Ulkar, who had been silently watching the appointment ceremony, stepped forward.
“After the Empire, Lu Yan has assumed a heavy duty on behalf of my niece, but she has not yet had her coming-of-age ceremony and has no vassals to rely on. As his colleague and guardian, I would like to recommend a person who can be trusted, so I hope that he will be at home.”
“I can’t do that. Determining betrayal (I倍臣) is out of my jurisdiction, so discuss the decision with the Empress of the Empire. However, I will be a witness to the discussions and their results here.”
The prince smiled and bowed, then looked back at the boy who became the first imperial consort in Middle-earth. Before he could say anything, Lu Yan held out the longsword of the Elector Count that had just been bestowed on him with a calm face.
“Anst and Obdorf are wide, fertile and precious lands that lead in all directions, but they are also places where the fires of war do not stop. There are countless valiant knights under Your Highness, so please appoint those who can help the Elector Count in my place.”
“I would be happy to do so.”
After the show, the prince, who received the gilded longsword, slowly looked back.
“First Sir Filter Seymour.”
Among the knights, a man with an intelligent impression slowly walked forward. Lord Filter, nicknamed ‘The Painter’, the fifth knight of Prince Ulkar, knelt before his lord.
“Sir Filter is a knight with exceptional martial skills, and he is by far the best at training cavalry, so he is suitable for guarding the frontier. Her coat of arms is also excellent, and she is also good at governing.”
A gilded longsword landed on Lord Hilter’s right shoulder.
“Therefore, the position of baron is reduced. Use the citadel ‘Jirna’ as a base to protect the borders of the territory and govern the nine villages belonging to Jirna to comfort its citizens.”
“I take orders.”
“May the Lord increase your valor and wisdom.”
As the Elector Count’s longsword touched his left shoulder, Sir Filter looked up at Prince Ulkar calmly before standing up and stepping back.
“Sir Ariad Barin.”
An old, diminutive man stepped forward, guided by a tall young man.
The old man, who was kneeling before the prince, was looking in the wrong place because he was blind. Of course, no one was laughing. Although he couldn’t see, the poison he possessed was powerful enough to topple the powerful man in the eastern part of the empire.
After going through the same procedure as Sir Filter, Sir Ariad became a baron who managed the fortress ‘Untrier’ and the manor and villages belonging to it.
“Next, Atalanta.”
After taking a deep breath, Atalanta left the spear to Hareskis, who stood next to her, and walked forward.
“Atalante is the one who knows the heathen or the faithful and the stranger or the loyal. Since we are all used to gathering groups and boosting commerce, there will definitely be benefits if we help each other with the imperial queen.” Come to think of it, our prince is very good at telling lies.
“Therefore, I am lowering the position of the prince, so please keep Proshaven prosperous and at the same time protect the two castles, three manors, and six villages that belong to it.”
“I take orders.”
“May the Lord of Light also lead your god.”
With this, the owners of the Angst region were all decided.
Sir Filter and Sir Ariad shared the northern half, and Atalanta and the Nudans occupied the southern half.
However, unlike Sir Filter and Sir Ariad, who hold firm control over my fortress and surrounding villages, the rights given to Atalanta will be relatively limited. If the Nudans completely occupied the southern part of Angst, all the Gellans who lived there might run away at night.
“Lastly Sir Phoenix.”
finally it’s my turn
I knelt before Prince Ulkar with a calm face.
The prince, who had a solemn expression on his face as if he had noticed something dissatisfied in my eyes, smiled faintly and raised the Elector Count’s longsword.
“Sir Phoenix is a knight with incomparable courage who makes enemies fall and retreat when he stands on the battlefield. At the same time, I do not know how to cherish and love those who belong to me, and I am equipped with the talent for governance. He should be the first helper and advisor that the Empress of the Empire can rely on.”
Feeling the metal against my shoulder, I remembered the swearing-in ceremony in South Harbor. The feeling of hesitation is roughly the same, but the burden is incomparable to that time.
“Therefore, I lowered the position of the prince. Take Ice Bobalt as your nature, guard the center of the territory, and take care of the people as the lord of the seven fortresses, five manors, and nineteen villages that belong to it.”
It’s natural to feel the fucking pressure. Suddenly, I was in charge of a piece of land the size of Jeju Island.
“I follow the order-”
“Also.”
As I looked up with bewildered eyes, the prince added a smile on his face.
“Since I have made you the Marquis of the Empire for life, manage the military affairs and the fortress of the entire territory, and lead the army as the Marquis of the Empire in case of emergency.”
“......yes’?”
“May the infinite mercy of the Lord be upon you.”
Was it not enough with a land the size of Jeju Island? Prince Ulkar, who was entrusted with the poop that could burst at any moment, was smiling brightly while exposing his teeth.
“...under.”
Chew.
