Public trial?You deserve it too!

the system explained.

[In this world, the essence of magic power and soul is the same, so a good conductor of magic power is also a good conductor of soul. 】

"Mithril."

Claude immediately thought of it.

[Yes, mithril, as long as mithril is used as a carrier, and then a huge amount of magic power is used to restrain it, then the soul can re-display vitality through the existence of mithril. 】

"Then, if this soul itself has powerful magic power, after being restrained, he has Mithril as a carrier - can he use his own magic power to restrain himself? In this way, there is no need for an external source of magic power, isn't it? ?"

Claude's question is enough to make any capitalist feel embarrassed.

[Theoretically speaking... feasible.Magic power is a part of the soul. In the state of the soul, the magic power can no longer be increased out of thin air, which means that their strength will be fixed when they die, so once they use their magic power to fix the soul, it means that they can show The strength that comes out will be permanently reduced by a part. 】

"But this means that the so-called [Undead Lord] should be possible to exist, and by the same token, it is theoretically possible to have such a Mithril Legion in the palace-after all, the Palace Mage Corps is the empire Largest army of mages, isn't it?"

Claude's expression was not relaxed. On the contrary, as he deepened his thinking, his expression became more and more serious.

"Then after a little thought, you can understand that there can be a reasonable explanation for such an abnormal situation in the empire."

【You mean... the souls standing beside the emperor today are not his bodyguards, but... the previous emperors! 】

"I said that the most terrifying thing about the empire is that every generation of emperors in the royal family, not to mention all of them are talented, but each of them is good or above-for more than 1000 years, every emperor can at least do it. Eighty points, good ones can achieve 95 or even [-] points, which is outrageous and too much!"

Claude licked his back molars, feeling a little cold in his heart.

"Not to mention, that huge war preparation plan has survived to this day at the empire level, and it still produces effects in all aspects of the empire, and it is even implemented very smoothly-this is simply impossible! Because a plan, the people who made it After death, no matter how good the heir is and how understanding he is, the final result that the two of them really want to achieve must be far behind!"

"At least eight feet away!"

[...Indeed, there is only one possibility, so that this plan has been going at the pace that the empire wants so far, and even every emperor in the middle is willing to become a cog in it, paving the way for the next generation—because They can witness and even participate in the beginning of this plan! 】

"Although this explanation is horrifying, it is indeed the most reasonable explanation... Every emperor is alive, and they all stay in the most secret place of the empire, teaching the later emperors how to continue planning, and at the same time Waiting for the war to end all wars."

Claude took a deep breath.

"...Bad news, I may not be able to continue with some weird secret plan."

"I have to think about whether I want to become [the real Claude]."

Group 17 &'⑥ bar ② [-] ⑦ a slip

Learn from me: Chapter 228 Chapter 210 Who can use a flagpole as a weapon?

Pretending to be pure in front of an emperor is different from pretending to be pure in front of dozens of emperors.

After all, time is experience, and the emperors have seen a lot of ghosts and snakes, and there will always be people like him haunting them.

Think again about the emperor's temptations and methods for his sudden increase...

"No way, let's add a layer of camouflage in the middle... Let me think about it, point on xenophobia, militarism, what else... Let's add another layer of xenophobia, extreme Exclusive and militaristic, the emperors should like it very much, right?"

That's how Claude decided on a solution.

【Are you going to rely on the empire to win this war? 】

"Because of the current situation, I have no choice - after all, only two opponents who are evenly matched can maintain a balance of power. Faced with the unreasonable situation of the empire, you think you can fight him against the Holy Kingdom for a thousand years, you should What is it like?"

【...You mean, the Theocracy is the same?The popes of all ages have survived to this day, so that they can maintain a balance of power with the empire on the mainland? 】

"Jung told me that the number of mages in the Theocracy even exceeds that of the Empire, so by the same token, it is impossible for the Theocracy to fail to do what the Empire can do."

Claude analyzed calmly.

"But...it might be a good thing for us."

[Good thing? 】

"You think, the internal circulation of this world must be conserved, right? Now that the Empire and Theocracy are using magic power and mithril to extract things from this circulation, then this circulation will only become thinner and thinner. It may even be broken—does it fit the definition of your graduation project?"

【...Indeed, if the incongruity of the world is here, then it can be explained. 】

The system is thoughtful.

[This kind of thing should have happened after the last time traveler came here. This is indeed a good way, but why hasn't it been stopped...]

"Block? By whom?"

Claude asked casually.

【...】

Ok?

Not right.

Claude put in a little thought right away, and then...

"...I said, the last time traveler, didn't he also bring one of your seniors?"

【Um......】

"..."

Claude raised his forehead.

"No, didn't you say something so important?"

【You...you didn't ask. 】

"Will you tell me if I ask?"

【Um. 】

"...So, you, uh, let's say senior, are you still in this world?"

[I don't know, I just received a notification when I came here, this is a world of failures, let me follow you to solve the problem, so I just know that there have been combinations like ours before, but I don't know about the others . 】

The system whispered.

【Theoretically speaking, it should be because he is gone. After all, the failure to deal with it means that the other party has postponed his studies. He will resume his studies and wait for the next opportunity. That's why I came to this world. According to the rules, we are in a In terms of the world, we must communicate and communicate with each other to prevent meaningless internal friction. 】

"So you didn't come into contact with... the same system as yours?"

[No, when I first came to this world, before I was stuffed into your thinking space, I conducted a routine search, and found no existence of the same race, and I also sent a worldwide communication, and did not receive any any response. 】

The system has said everything honestly.

"I was taken aback. I almost thought that the Theocracy might be under the control of a system—otherwise, it would be unreasonable for them to win against such an empire."

Claude let out a sigh of relief.

"So now the situation is basically straightened out. My senior probably wanted to use this method to retain some knowledge, and then it was abused later. As a result, both sides of the Theocracy and the Empire became outrageous at the same time-although I don't know what it is. Not really a problem, but at least there is a direction."

[A method like this, logically speaking, should not be taken... According to our method of action, this kind of behavior that almost cuts off the foundation of the world is strictly prohibited. 】

The system is still very confused about this matter. She couldn't figure out why the previous traveler took such a behavior, and why the fellow of her own race didn't stop it.

[This kind of world in the world bubble is gradually growing in the cycle. The energy absorbed from the outside becomes the soul through new life, and then transforms into the original power that this world can integrate into in the body—after all, the number of souls Will be more and more, birth, death, return.Expand the source power of the world, so that the world can continue to grow and expand. 】

"So the cycle itself is growing, right?"

Claude got the point.

【Yes. 】

"Then this means that if only a few people's souls are missing, the inner loop of this world will not collapse, at most it will grow a little slower-then there is no hesitation, why not use such a good method?" ?”

Claude said casually.

【Why?Why? 】

"Just like you, as long as you see more, you will definitely be able to graduate—as long as you keep the souls of all the emperors, it means that you can form a youthful version of you, right? They can solve all problems and see through everything Flaws, prepare all plans, no middlemen to make the difference, how could it be possible to derail the empire?"

The Cavaliers appreciate such behavior very much.

"This means the sustainable growth of wisdom and experience. If the other party is preparing a huge plan, then this kind of slight overdraft in advance should be very effective. It just reduces the growth of the world a little, and the exchange is a Eternal Empire - if they want to use the power of the world to do something, it means that they can integrate the power of the world to complete their mission."

[But... Even so, there shouldn't be no records at all. 】

The system is still struggling with why its own clan doesn't say a word.

"For example, if I say now that I need to do this to pave the way for the future, will you reject me?"

Claude chuckled.

【......Won't. 】

"Then will you report me?"

[...Neither will. 】

"So it's not difficult to understand that trust is the foundation of all behaviors."

Claude shrugged.

"This is a good thing. At least it tells us that what is related to this behavior must be an anomaly that the world needs to solve. So be happy, we have at least found the direction of our efforts, haven't we?"

【...Then what are we going to do now? 】

"Go kill people first, the emperor's order is very clear, isn't it—"

Claude waved his hand, signaling his own soldiers to follow.

"He wants to see rivers of blood flow."

-------------------------------------------------- ------

The nobles have been compressed into Maximilian Avenue, which was originally a street commemorating a certain emperor of the empire, but now it has been painted with boundless black and red.

The nobles who wanted to flee ran into the blockade of the Ninth Guards Knights on horseback, and the latecomers could only turn around quickly, eager to find a possible escape route.

However, it is a pity that due to the particularity of the upper city and to keep a distance from the civilians, the buildings here are tall but sparse. The flat and spacious streets made them feel very comfortable to ride in a carriage, but now they are being madly criticized in their mouths. The curse—why is it exposed to the eyes and swords of the knights at a glance.

Coupled with the fact that the Third Guards Knights were counterattacking and the wind knights were watching from the sky, these nobles were gradually approaching this street.

There is no other reason, simply because this street is located in the city furthest from where they originally ambushed the emperor.

Originally they wanted to defend those tall buildings, and wanted to rely on their strong building materials and complicated internal passages to fight desperately, but soon the mages of the court mages told them that this was a very wrong decision.

Already a large group of nobles, with their knights, were buried together in the ruins that were blown up.

Street fighting can be scary, but if the attackers have overwhelming firepower and don't care what needs to be destroyed, it becomes a game of keeping mice out.

But they still had to occupy some buildings—because standing on flat ground and being bombarded by spells would obviously make them die even more ugly.

When Claude arrived here, the Ninth Guards Knights had teamed up with the Third Guards Knights to block the street and surrounded it, waiting for the mages to recover their magic power, and then continue to push all the way.

"Can we attack now?"

Claude asked Heinrich who was resting.

"We can only support one spell to blow up the first line of defense, but we can't continue to attack in the future. If we want to continue to advance, please wait for our magic power to fully recover."

Heinrich replied.

"No need, just blow up the first line of defense."

Claude said lightly.

"I will rush in with my troops—His Majesty is getting impatient."

The mage nodded, and immediately stood up and began to give orders, preparing to cast their last magic power.

"Ninth Guards Knights, assemble!"

Claude looked at these recruits who were facing the battlefield for the first time. Obviously, such a battle could give them confidence in combat. At least he didn't see emotions such as fear and exhaustion.

However, they still need a more difficult battle before they can be considered barely sharpened.

These desperate knights and nobles in front of them are very good-they have no hope of surviving, so they will inevitably fight even more frantically.

"Knights! We are the imperial guards! We are the sharpest blades of His Majesty the Emperor! We are the most loyal eagle dogs of the Emperor!"

Claude was doing pre-war mobilization loudly.

"And now, those rebels who dared to raise their swords against the emperor still live luxuriously in this world, they can still speak, they can still open their mouths to breathe, they can still take up their swords and fight - this is a shame! This is a disgrace to us as Guards!"

The eyes of the knights became fierce.

"How should the shame be washed away? Use the sword! Use the teeth! Use their blood to pour over every piece of imperial territory they stepped on to wash away this shame! This is the only end for these rebels!! "

"Yes!"

Claude picked up the military flag made of pure steel flagpole, and led thousands of soldiers behind him.
