“I’m sorry everyone. “This was an operation known only to Your Majesty and me.”
Plan to destroy the Akashic Drive.
Carol worked hard to turn Reppenhardt’s absurd plan of destroying the Akashic Drive and, if that was difficult, the backup system, into a realistic one while the two of them fought, saying that Sayer would also show up in awe if he showed up.
The plan to target a backup system rather than an Akashic drive remains intact. Instead, they devise a well-structured power composition that can respond to enemy attacks, and also take Gerrard out separately to prepare for the presence of Banatel. In this way, each person targets backup systems on all sides.
In this way, Leffenhardt’s group was divided into four. Even if Gerard is out of luck, if only one of the three teams succeeds, the Akashic Drive will be temporarily halted.
But Carol wasn’t that satisfied.
“The enemies were strong, so there was a good chance that all three teams would fail.”
So he planned the existence of a separate unit.
The remaining Auror users and strong players of Antares were eliminated because they did not match the tactics of the match against Sayre.
Clearly, they are not qualified to work hand in hand with Reppenhardt. But that doesn’t mean they suddenly become weak. He is still a powerful auror user and an excellent elementalist.
“Why would you make fun of such a capable force?”
Following the Prime Minister’s orders, the remaining forces gathered around Stella in secret. And about half a day later than Leppenhardt’s group, he left Antares and secretly followed them. This was possible because Serpel and Shailene hid their presence using the Styrian clan’s unique elemental magic.
“I didn’t just cook and relax when I came here. “Recovering physical strength is recovery, but I had to give them time to catch up.”
When Reppenhardt and his party were digging into the Maserada Dungeon, Stella and his party also secretly entered the dungeon. And I stayed at the beginning of the dungeon and waited to move.
Since they were on the same boat(?), of course they also came to Frozen Land together. Leppenhardt and his party, who had left the dungeon, ate a meal and quietly hid inside the dungeon while waiting for the meteorite to fall. Thanks to this, even when Reppenhardt made a mistake and one Meteor shot fell, he suffered no damage at all.
Afterwards, when Reppenhardt and his group were causing trouble on the ground level of Sayre Temple, they approached the outside of the building using stealth techniques. No matter how excellent the Styrian clan’s stealth elemental skills were, it was difficult to avoid the surveillance system on the surface of the Sayre Temple. This is where Reppenhardt tried his hand.
“We temporarily obscured the surveillance system with jamming arcane chat.”
Russ and the rest of the party knew that they used that magic to prevent their secret techniques from becoming known to the Silver Sage, but if that was the reason, it makes no sense that they could use their secret techniques as much as they wanted underground. In the first place, the purpose was something else.
While the surveillance system was stopped, Stella and the others succeeded in secretly entering the Sayre Temple. After that, he continued to move within the underground in a state of hiding.
There were no enemies standing in their way. The Silver Sage’s side was already concentrating all of its spirit and power on Reppenhardt and his group.
“I kept moving quietly like that without being noticed, and eventually arrived at my destination. I’m really glad things are going well. ha ha ha!”
Everyone looked at Carol smiling and looked at them in bewilderment.
Oh my god, this happened without anyone noticing?
Iniya was dumbfounded and criticized him.
“Doing such a dangerous thing… … If they were here, Antares would be as empty as anything, right? Who will prepare for the Empire’s attack?”
Carol responded calmly.
“The Empire doesn’t know that, right? Besides, even if you notice, the results aren’t much different.”
Suddenly, with victory in sight, all forces are withdrawn from the battlefield? Even if you’re not a strategist, there’s no way you wouldn’t know how stupid that is. Moreover, Carol is called the sage of heresy and has used all kinds of advanced strategies and tactics. Even if that fact becomes known, it is normal to wonder whether it is a trap.
“Of course I know it’s dangerous.”
Although the Imperial Intelligence Service is suspicious, there is definitely a possibility of launching a military operation. If such a situation occurs, the Antares army, which has lost its main force, will be pushed back from the front line, and in the meantime, a great deal of blood will be shed.
Even though he knew everything, Carol made this plan.
“Anyway, as long as Sayre exists, there is no future for Antares. And Sayer is an absolute being whose victory cannot be guaranteed even if we use all the cards we have.”
Even though many Antares citizens were dying due to the absence of Starla and his party, he chose to increase his chances of defeating Sayer even a little.
“You can accuse me of being ruthless. But for the future of Antares, this was best.”
Iniya was convinced. It was a cruel but understandable choice. Nevertheless, she did not relax her expression yet.
“What would you have done if the Silver Sage had even noticed their presence, Prime Minister?”
Repenhardt and his group managed to survive the attacks so far, but if it had been Starla’s side, there is no way they would have survived. I would have died a meaningless death without being able to do anything. Anyway, it is true that their power is relatively weak.
“Isn’t it too irresponsible to call it an operation, leaving too much to chance?”
However, Carol didn’t just leave it to chance and planned this plan.
“So we didn’t make a big fuss?”
In other words, Leppenhardt and his party were themselves a raiding party and also a decoy.
The group is divided into three, four if you include Gerard. Are you concerned about the simultaneous battles and suspect that there may be another intruder?
“That’s not easy. “Unless you’ve always been on guard.”
If Reppenhardt had attacked alone, or with the three of them accompanied by Iniya and Atilka, the Silver Sage would have also had a third intruder in mind. Antares’s power was strong, and there were many powerful people besides them that were a threat.
But now Reppenhardt has brought all those threatening strongmen with him. From the Antares side, the Silver Sage side, and the perception of the entire continent, all the well-known superpowers that everyone recognizes.
Now that they are all mobilized, everyone, including the Sage of Silver, has no choice but to think the same thing.
This is all-out war, mobilizing all possible power.
“On the other hand, I’m sorry, but Mr. Stella and his group don’t have a very high reputation, right?”
Stala and the others were relatively weak and did not have a high strategic importance, so people and the Sages of Silver paid little attention to them. Didn’t even Reppenhardt and his group, who were on the same side, forget their existence?
That’s why they can become a dagger that secretly pierces the other person’s heart more than anyone else!
Carol smiled in remorse.
“Originally, the back of the head hurts the most when hit by someone you can’t see.”
☆ ☆ ☆
There is a saying that when deceiving your enemy, you must first deceive your allies.
Carol did not inform anyone of the existence of Starla and her party at all. So everyone went into battle with the determination that if they failed, it would be the end. That desperation was fully conveyed to the Sages of Silver, so they could not even guess that there would be a third force.
Thanks to this, the Sattar backup system was destroyed.
The Akashic Drive was also silent.
Carol calmly commanded the Starla group who had achieved this amazing feat.
“The system appears to be sufficiently broken. “Everyone, please exit carefully.”
Then Stella frowned and asked.
“Isn’t it better for us to keep destroying this place than that, Prime Minister? “Looking at it, it seems like something is still going smoothly and being fixed.”
The Akashic Drive, which was still in a dormant state, was restoring the shattered Sattar backup system to its original state at an astonishing speed. So, even during magic communication, there is an occasional argument and Maloid blows out an aura, destroying the part that has been restored.
“So, the longer we keep Sayer’s power tied down, the better we’ll be, right?”
Repenhardt answered Eustea’s question instead.
“This is enough. According to calculations, it would take about three hours for the destroyed system to restart. “That’s enough time to settle the matter.”
In tales and legends, there are often stories of warriors and wizards fighting to the death for three days and nights, but in reality, this is impossible. The energy and stamina consumption during battle is more extreme than you can imagine. No matter how much of a master he is, he cannot actually fight for hours without resting. So didn’t Reppenhardt and his party take a breather and rest after alternating between fighting and fleeing?
“Whether Sayer dies or we are annihilated, it won’t be that long.”
Still, Stella and the others could not leave easily. Now that I’ve come this far, I want to lend a helping hand even more.

But Reppenhardt was adamant.
“As the king of Antares, I expect you to risk your lives for Antares.”
So, Stella and his party risked their lives to infiltrate this place and eventually achieved their goal.
“But that doesn’t mean I want you to give up your life for Antares.”
With the face of a true king, Reppenhardt gave orders with dignity.
“Please retreat. “You have done your job well.”
Unable to refuse any longer, Stella and the others bowed their heads politely.
“I understand, Your Majesty!”
“Then good luck!”
As Stella and his group left the backup system, their video was turned off. Leffenhardt shrugged his shoulders.
“Anyway, everyone is so stubborn… … .”
I click my tongue and look at the other party members reflected in the crystal panel.
“Then let’s join.”
Atilka and Iniya responded simultaneously.
“I understand, Your Majesty.”
“Yes, Mr. Leffenhardt! “I’ll be there soon!”
Chapter 81 Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
One
It doesn’t matter about the confrontation between humans and gods, or about the survival of the world.
The future of humanity, the paradigm of the continent, and changes in the world are all out of the question.
Only one thing is important!
All you have to do is defeat the opponent in front of you, your lifelong enemy!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
The explosion echoes endlessly. In the explosion, Sword Saint Vanatel swings his sword and Emperor Gerard holds out his fist. The crimson and golden auras collide again and again, continuously emitting shock waves. There are holes in every wall, the ceiling is collapsing, and the floor is sinking here and there.
It was a cosmic egg, a defensive building with a particularly strong structure even in ancient times. Although it was a strong material that could not be compared to the modern world, it was still not enough to withstand the clash between these two. Every time the two light auras pass by, the surroundings become a total mess.
“I’ll crush you, Banatel!”
“That’s what I’m going to say, Gerard! “I’ll cut open that proud belly and pull out the intestines!”
Their entire bodies were soaked in blood, but neither of them were even aware of it. I just fight and fight again, mobilizing all the skills I have honed throughout my life.
It was in the meantime.
Suddenly, the light that illuminated the surroundings went out and darkness fell.
“huh?”
“What is this?”
Gerard and Vanatel stepped back for a moment and looked in all directions. After a while, a faint red light came on and the darkness faded away. Banatel frowned. It felt somehow ominous.
Gerard grinned.
“It looks like the brilliant student did something.”
I haven’t heard of the operation, but it’s not like I don’t know that Reppenhardt and Karl came here without any plan. In the first place, wasn’t his student a guy who thought too much and was slow at martial arts?
‘… … But that guy is in his late 20s and already has 6 stacks, right? Actually, it’s not even slow, is it?’
Vanatel looked around and thought coldly.
“I guess the situation is unusual.”
A huge crimson aura spreads out around the sword. In an instant, the vast underground space was overflowing with the aura of red flame. It was Banatel’s special move, the pillar of the true sword Atlas.
“I will settle the matter, Gerard!”
The overflowing crimson aura was extremely compressed and turned into a club of light. Seeing Banatel preparing for a penetrating strike, Gerrard also brought his fist to his waist.
“Is it the Apocalyx Stinger? “You know it’s hard to do that, right?”
The two had already clashed once with their ultimate skills, Apocalypse Stinger and Calamity Horn. When they first collided, they didn’t know each other’s power well, so they both became rags in the aftermath of the amplified destructive power, but since they had already experienced it once, they avoided a situation where they fell together like before. Well, no matter what, the damage gradually piled up and eventually I became a rag.
“This time it will be different!”
Buzz buzz buzz!
Banatel’s sword makes a loud noise. Normally, when a sword cries, the expression is used to say that it is soft, but the energy it has accumulated is so vast that it is so loud that the sword cries.
Vanatel smiled in remorse as he aimed his sword.
“Take a look, Apocalypse Stinger Revision!”
“hmm?”
Gerard raised one eye. Revision? What does revised version mean?
‘What do you mean by a revised version? It’s just the same?’
The Apocalypse Stinger is a technique that ignorantly gathers together a large number of Blade Auras and then attacks them without any hesitation. Banatel’s posture and momentum now are no different from before.
