Success.

success.

succession of successes.

Will the arrogant muzzle stay still?

“It’s new.”

Wouldn’t it look like you’ve done a really great job in the eyes of others? Especially from the position of the imperial soldiers, I’m sure there’s no such thing as an archmage who suddenly jumped out of a portal.

“I don’t know how to say this…”

The bushy-bearded Imperial Army officer Bones blurted out his words.

Even when I look at it, I am speechless.

The castle walls collapsed in less than half a day.

No, because it rose more magnificently than before.

“The magic I knew was not like this…”

Yes.

Arcana Continent where magic exists, but not all magic is the same. I’m sorry for the wizards belonging to the Empire, but if you evaluate them by the standards of the Mage Tower…

‘Do you have to treat them well?’

No, most of them were not as good as apprentice wizards.

Of course, that’s because the Mage Tower, which is said to be the strongest armed group on the Arcana continent, is so proud. It is absolutely not that there is a shortage of wizards belonging to the Empire.

“I don’t know how to express this grace.”

Bones and the Imperial Army who express their gratitude over and over again.

And in front of the survivors, I wasn’t puffed up.

That’s what it’s like, it’s hard to be proud of yourself here…!

‘I didn’t know that struggling would come back like this.’

A past that didn’t matter.

I never thought the experience of building a wall to survive, destroying it again with reverse magic, and even embroidering the stairs would be helpful. Besides, it wasn’t the first time I had such an experience.

Even if you witness it once, the granfel that perfectly manifests itself has repeatedly manifested itself?

Of course, that manifestation power…

‘Maybe I can create another one, it’s called architectural magic.’

I have no choice but to be amazing.

Admire the majestic fortress walls.

It is not simply built up.

There is a saying that a person who has eaten meat knows the taste.

‘It means that a guy who has built walls can build them firmly.’

Even if the catapult throws rocks.

Wouldn’t this be able to last for a few dozen?

That’s what I was thinking.

Not only that.

‘In addition to aesthetics.’

The reason for adding [simmi] is simple.

Wasn’t it me who looked around the imperial palace as if I was evaluating it with my aesthetic eyes?

It was a splendid castle wall like an imperial palace.

It could be a symbol of the empire’s territory.

To put it simply.

“Action speaks louder than words.”

It’s just Grandfel’s self-satisfaction.

‘…so who do you blame?’

In fact, the fact that he was able to waste his mana like this was thanks to the halo of the handsome Cloudy. What’s more, I can’t be sarcastic forever. I also got something

A lot of that too!

──────

─Current Contribution: 300723000p

──────

Even if you round down from 100,000 units, it is a whopping billion billion billion.

‘It’s more amazing than the crack clear reward.’

I’m not new to the attribution system.

I’ve experienced the contribution system even just in recapturing Frost.

However, such a contribution unit was the first.

If Arcana was just a game…

‘I thought it was a bug.’

But it’s not a game.

Let’s roll our heads.

In order to do that, I must first eat my heart shamelessly.

I muttered to myself.

‘It’s all thanks to my pride.’

self-praise.

This is thanks to learning that people don’t die from shame alone.

Thank you again everyone at Antonium…!

anyway.

When you change your perspective and look at it, it starts to make sense. It wasn’t really a grandiose thing for me, so I didn’t think it was a big deal.

‘It’s something that can’t be accomplished with the power of the empire alone.’

You can tell just by looking at the scene unfolding before your eyes.

“Goddess…”

A survivor who knelt in front of the wall and prayed with his hands together. It is truly something that cannot be explained except by the grace of God.

‘Neither I nor Grandfel are religious.’

He is not so ignorant as to speak of atheism to the thrilled survivors. The soldiers of the empire were watching the survivors, who were just as thrilled as I was. Bones spoke on behalf of them.

“I will make sure not to become a victim of the miracle you gave me.”

You can recognize it because it’s a demon hunter.

Those eyes are alive.

I really won’t break no matter how many demons come to me.

‘but.’

I answered.

“No, you guys have been doing well so far.”

“…?!”

At my words, Bons put on a puzzled expression.

What do you want to say all of a sudden?

For a wall to be a wall, it needs soldiers to guard it.

Bones and the soldiers must have been prepared to defend the wall even at the cost of their lives.

That’s what it was.

“You no longer have to risk your life.”

“!”

Bones asked with a puzzled expression.

“…Did your lord give an order to withdraw?”

Then he looks around with a complicated expression.

Zero Mountains.

Nearby is the small town of Polestar.

Now that Zero Mountains have flooded reality.

Polestar was as if it had been thrown to the continent.

Bones was also aware of that.

So, he said in a firm voice.

“Even so, I cannot comply.”

Chuck—

The Bones and the Empire’s soldiers soon lowered their heads.

What the action meant was simple.

“If I and my soldiers withdraw from Polestar, the new walls will be overshadowed. Polestar straight to the devil. Or it will be captured by the wicked again…!”

That’s not wrong.

As you can see, the majority of Polestar’s survivors are only elderly people.

I was able to understand and respect Bones’ decision to rebel.

It’s not just me who understands it, Grandfel probably does too.

No, beyond understanding.

“I know your pride.”

“…?”

It was Bones’ actions.

From a positive point of view, it is correct.

That means you don’t have to risk your life any more.

“and.”

…thud!

A deafening noise as I speak.

Kugoong!

No, I guess the expression “ringing” is more accurate.

Why was my body shaking every time the roaring sound rang out?

‘It’s really hard to say with my own mouth…’

Now the legend of Lee Ho-yeol, the Dark Dragon, is circulating.

An existence that moves with such a roar on the Arcana continent?

Also, there will only be one.

I spoke.

“Akkshan knows your pride.”

“!”

Yes.

Legacy of Akshan.

This is the Kürnberg Machine Tower.

I asked the dwarves through Highel.

The number of Kürnberg mechanical towers currently in operation.

Can you figure out the condition?

The answer came back through Highel.

‘The mechanical tower currently in operation accounts for 70% of the total.’

It was a battle achievement that was not called Akkshan’s legacy for nothing, considering that the arcana continent had been overturned by the devil. But looking at Sword Saint Shagwin, I realized.

The Kürnberg Machine Tower was also an Akkshan after all!

Most of the Kürnberg Machine Tower is made of silver.

Thanks to this, he was more of a natural enemy than a demon hunter to demons, but he was relatively weak to those other than demons.

Simply put, the screw is missing. Like demon hunters against non-demon enemies.

‘In that sense.’

Deploying the Kürnberg Machine Tower in the recaptured city was the best decision. The Empire has the strength to withstand fighting any enemy except demons, and one demon is the Kürnberg Machine Tower to hunt down.

‘We can make up for each other’s weaknesses.’

The only thing that matters is.

It was only the approval of the picky pride.

It was a bit of a worry.

Those without pride would have abandoned the Empire long ago, because it was the current situation.

Still, someone will ask.

Will Akshan allow that?

“Akkshan… are they…?”

Bones hesitated in embarrassment at the name.

Thanks to your position, you seem to know the situation at least roughly.

The moment when Akshan was destroyed.

The fact that the empire was of no help whatsoever.

That’s why I’m going to be worried about it.

“…How can we, the soldiers of the Empire, get help from Akkshan?”

But don’t overlook Akshan.

Our sunbaenims don’t have such a long backlash.

In the first place, such private feelings in the personality of the nobles must have been blown away while training their bodies? Besides, above all, if you can hunt demons, you will be in favor of anything, seniors.

With that in mind, I said it like me.

“Akkshan does not turn a blind eye to those who are tormented by demons.”

“…!”

“Even if it’s an enemy who let go of one’s hand.”

From the point of view of the last surviving Akkshan, it makes sense.

You can hunt demons more efficiently.

There is no reason not to cooperate with the Empire.

[The Kürnberg Machine Tower protects ‘Polestar’.]

Kung!

like a watchman.

Starting with the mechanical tower stopped in front of Polestar.

Similar messages appear one after another in front of my eyes.

[The Kirnberg Machine Tower protects ‘Hold’em Wood’.]…

‘It seems that they have arrived in another city.’

finally.

Contribution flickers again.

Let’s see, let’s guess before confirming?

Since I got 300 million points in architecture

I was the one who inhaled the kimchi soup.

soon.

I checked the message again.

I was astonished.

One hundred and

ten billion

….

Nash put his hand on the magic tool of the empire, the Astrologer’s Crystal Orb.

It was to confirm the story Ho-yeol had conveyed.

Dry saliva passes by itself.

‘Let’s calm down.’

worry ahead.

The opponent was a dark dragon and a living legend.

‘…what if I seem suspicious?’

Maybe I’m living the Dark Dragon’s wrath?

If my older brother in the Mage Tower heard it, he’d say he’s not a frog in a well… but Nash himself was the best wizard in the empire. thanks i was able to figure it out

High-purity magic flowing from Ho-yeol!

still thirsty

‘What’s more surprising than the amount is the regenerative power…’

Isn’t the surging magic power infinite?

enough to give the illusion.

He had such magical powers, so he must have declared it with confidence.

– “I alone am enough.”

I don’t know what about His Majesty and the others.

Nash was well aware of the wizard’s abilities. For a mage with a high fever, rebuilding the city walls and returning in half a day was not a big deal.

So, this situation was inevitably disappointing.

I understand that it is a rule and procedure that cannot be omitted.

‘But if I had to, I’d do the procedure…!’

The problem was that it was his job.

The moment the dark dragon left the imperial palace.

His Majesty said,

– “Listen to the ministers. What I conveyed to Lord Hoyeol was a request, not an order. It must be the law that a reasonable compensation must be followed. I believe you will think the same as me.”

His Majesty said so, but no one objected.

Besides, there should be a reasonable reward for everything.

It was like the rules of the empire.

‘Even if it can’t be helped because it’s a necessary procedure for compensation…!’

It must be very burdensome.

The luckiest thing is the dark dragon.

that he understood.

He nodded his head benevolently, not like a wizard.

“If that is the procedure, I will gladly follow it.”

Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

Then he moved his trembling hand.

He carefully opened his mouth.

“then…! I will use the astrologer’s crystal ball.”

You don’t have to check every city.

If you only look at Polestar, which is the farthest from Antonium, you will be able to guess the outline of other cities. At that thought, Nash’s face went white as he looked into Polestar.

“Uh… what?”

What is it?

in front of the Emperor and the Legendary Ministers.

He was so surprised that he said something informal.

It had to be.

“This is nonsense….”

Beyond the walls of Antonium.

Because the tall, thick, and splendid castle wall perfectly surrounded Polestar. Not only that. Even the Kürnberg Machine Tower standing as if escorting such a Polestar.

Nash touched the crystal ball.

“I’m sorry, I’ll check again…!”

I thought it was enough to just check Polestar.

After checking, I was rather suspicious.

If you simply built a castle wall, you could understand.

But isn’t that a ‘simple’ castle wall?

Maybe he gave all his time to Polestar…

“!”

However, Nash froze as it was.

I couldn’t express the shock in words, so I looked at the emperor.

The Emperor followed Nash and placed his hand on the crystal ball.

“Ah…”
