With the two imperial guardians under his command, Atomus has finally made his move to take over the empire.
First, he detained Luxent, his older brother, and then his younger siblings who were likely to become rebel forces, either by detaining them or by coercing them. However, some of the younger siblings were able to escape, but we left them alone as there was nothing we could do.
Finally, the emperor and the empress were the last two remaining. Atomus decided that he would now take them, his own parents, into custody.
"'I didn't realize you had grown so powerful."
"Hahahaha! What do you think, father!"
' Unlike brother, I've expanded my power and gained control of the two guardians of the empire!"
All that remains is Setsuna and Father, no, Your Majesty! You are the only ones left."
"You can resist me if you want. You won't stand a chance, though."
Behind Atomus were two of the empire's guardian gods, Zephyr the Disastrous Wind and Glenn the Flame Emperor. The last imperial guardian god who stood protecting the emperor, the eternal Setsuna, tried to protect the emperor until the end, but could not win alone.
" Should I praise him or lament him?""
The emperor, who smiled fleetingly, was imprisoned along with the empress.
Thus, Atomus took control of the empire and reigned as the new emperor. As for the rest, as we all know, Atomus declared war on the kingdom at his coronation, boldly stating that he would unite the continent.
And now, in the empire that was to be ruled by the new emperor, preparations were underway for war with the kingdom.
"How is your progress?""
"Well! The formation of troops is already in place. Our supplies are ready, so we should be able to go to war soon.""
"Hmm. How are the new weapons coming along?"
"The development team is putting the final touches on it."
"Then hurry it up. The kingdom has transfer magic. , and we don't stand a chance in the speed of information. So now is the opportune time, when the kingdom will be in a hurry.""
" As you wish!"
The soldier who had come to report to him did exactly what Atomus said They went to tell the people who were developing the new weapon that the emperor was in a hurry.
The next to report was one of the operatives. Atomus had infiltrated the operatives in an attempt to bribe the nobles of the kingdom near the border.
"Your Majesty. As ordered, we have completed the acquisition of the kingdom nobles near the border!"
"How many?""
"More than half, with the exception of Leolde Herbst."
Athemaus complimented the grinning operative.
"It's a great achievement. t, I'll give you that.'
"Thank you your majesty !"
In a good mood, Atomus promised the agent a reward and then sent him back. Then, leaving Zephyr and Glenn as his guards, Atomus began to smile broadly.
"The kingdom is no longer an threat ,and my goal is to go beyond that. After overrunning the kingdom, I will overrun the Holy Sea and unite the continent! If I do that, I will go down in history as one of the greatest person !
"Your Majesty. I have a question."
"What is it? Tell me"
I have a question for you." Zephyr asks Atomose, who was smiling broadly about his dream.
" I'm sure it's easier to attack from the Holy Land if you consider the strength of your forces.
"You have a good point. But the Holy Sea is a religious nation. It is natural that the Holy Sea has more followers than the Empire and the Kingdom. These believers are a nuisance. In a way, they are worse than soldiers."
Do you know how many soldiers in this empire are willing to lay down their lives to protect their country?"
"Probably only 30 percent, maybe even 10 percent."
But if you're a believer in the Holy Sea , I'd say 90%. They follow the teachings. They justify themselves by saying, "If the Lord says so, God will guide me, and I will be blessed."
"How scary is that? If it's just one or two people, it doesn't matter. But when there are ten, a hundred, a thousand of them, there is nothing you can do. t."
" That's the kind of country it is. That's why we can't deal with it until we conquered the kingdom and gained more power."
"I see. It is true that I once fought a fanatic. They said that their actions were ordained by God, and they were raging like crazy. They never listened to what we had to say and insisted on their own things. In the end, we couldn't understand them, and we had no choice but to annihilate them."
"I suppose so. That country is terrifying in a way.""
Atomus turned his head in the direction of the Holy See. I think it was as frightening as I had just said. Atomus shuddered slightly.
While preparations for war were underway in the Empire, a messenger came to Leorde from the royal castle.
"Count Leolde. Please accompany me to the royal castle immediately.
". All right, I'll be right there."
Leolde was on his way to the royal castle with the messenger who came with transference magic.
(I'm pretty sure they mean the Empire. The mere fact that a new emperor has ascended to the throne is a big deal, but this is a declaration of war. I'm sure the capital is in a panic right now.)
(I knew about it, so I didn't panic, but I still wanted to avoid a war.)
The fate that has begun to move will not stop. Leolde walked behind the messenger into the royal castle, thinking about how to confront it.
