Became the Greatest Crazy Emperor – Episode 265
Became the Greatest Crazy Emperor 265
“The story got long, Emperor. Now, I shall give you what is due.”
Galvar’s hologram ended the story about the Creator God and pointed to one side of the armory.
Weapons had already appeared on one side of the armory when he showed up.
“You weren’t talking about those?”
“-There’s also something specially prepared just for you. However, it can only be completed with that sword of yours.”
Upon hearing Galvar’s words, I drew Silver Rose. Then, Galvar pointed to one side and said,
“-Go towards destiny. Even if it’s arduous. It seems that suits you better.”
Leaving Galvar’s words behind, I entered a huge modification device on one side of the armory.
[Connected to Silvatein’s upgrade server.]
Silvatein was activated from Silver Rose.
Although Silvatein was shaped in humanoid form, in fact, Silvatein’s armament was weak.
Except for the Silvan Cannon, there’s virtually nothing. The armaments that were there had already been exhausted, and the technology lost.
[Re-arming Silvatein. Current recovery rate 34%]
[From now on, Silvatein can share the abilities of other forms.]
Weeeeeeng-
What Galvar prepared was the restoration of Silvatein.
The sharp sword once made by the Empire, used in the War of the End, was being reforged.
[Silvatein rearmament complete]
“Now it’s back again.”
It was time to fight again.
* * *
“Your Majesty, the troops have been reorganized. We will advance the second unit soon.”
“Do so. We must obtain everything in that armory.”
Queen Minerva advanced the Celestial Tribe army with confident eyes.
The vanguard, the first unit, was annihilated, but it didn’t matter. It was a force mainly composed of slave soldiers that had been deployed expecting losses anyway.
The second was an elite force. Combat golems with concentrated celestial technology, powerful flash cannons, and soldiers composed of celestial champions.
If it weren’t for the defense system at the front gate, which was impossible to resist, victory was as good as secured.
“Hmm? Hey, what are those over there?”
At that time, someone was coming out of the secret entrance they were about to enter.
“They appear to be humans and dwarves, but they are heavily armed.”
“The dwarves are one thing, but who are those humans? Where did they come from?”
These humans were unidentifiable at first glance.
It was because they were wearing very thick and large armor. It was perfectly sealed armor with no room for even a needle to penetrate.
“There’s a flag. It’s the Imperial Army’s flag.”
“The Empire… those wretched bastards have come this far.”
The Empire that had inflicted defeat on her… It seemed the hateful Emperor had come on an expedition again.
“Good. I’ll finish them off this time! All troops, charge! Annihilate them!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
At Minerva’s command, the Celestial Tribes moved immediately. The first to attack were the Celestial Tribe’s artillery.
The Celestial Tribe’s artillery didn’t fire projectiles using gunpowder or magic, but rather medium-sized or larger beam cannons.
Many artillery units had been sent to the ground, but Minerva thought it wasn’t enough, so she even ordered shelling from the floating island!
Kwaaaang!
A beam struck where the Imperial Army was, and a huge explosion occurred.
“Good! They were acting cocky, but it’s over in one shot!”
Minerva, who was watching it from the command room of the floating island, was pleased to see the shelling hit its mark.
She thought that the enemies couldn’t possibly be safe after a full-force shelling.
But that was too early of a judgment.
“Y-Your Majesty. The enemies are intact!”
“No, why……!”
“A huge shield protected them. It seems to be a defense system from the armory…….”
“Damn it! Then send the soldiers quickly!”
Due to the nature of the shield, it blocked ranged attacks but not melee attacks, unless it was a method of completely blocking the outside and inside.
But the Imperial Army showed that it wasn’t such a shield.
Bang! Kwabang!
Tudududududu!
While counterattacking, the legions at the forefront of the Imperial Army fired machine guns attached to the sealed battle armor re-armed from the armory.
“Uwaaaaak!”
“T-The firepower is too strong!”
“Fly into the sky! To the sky!”
“Even if we fly into the sky, they’re chasing and shooting!”
Among the Celestial Tribe forces, those rushing to the ground were caught in the shelling.
The firepower of the shelling alone was considerable, and if they flew into the sky, the legions’ firing was relentlessly inflicted.
They fired machine guns that ordinary people had to shoot using large mounts as if it were nothing, attached to their arms.
Yet, that firing was very accurate.
“Counterattack! We also fire back!”
The Celestial Tribes also raised the beam guns they were holding and counterattacked.
But the celestial lights they shot didn’t do proper damage to the medium-sized battle armor worn by the legions.
Tutatata! Bang! Kwabang!
Without even knocking down a single legion, the Celestial Tribes became desperate as unilateral damage continued to increase.
“Get close! Get close somehow!”
Since they couldn’t compete in a firefight, the only option was close combat.
They desperately performed evasive maneuvers and flew to get close to the legions.
Fortunately, the battle armor worn by the legions couldn’t completely defend against the spears made of celestial particle cutters, which were the Celestial Tribes’ weapons.
“The bugs of the sky are coming! Soldiers, draw your swords!”
“For the Empire!”
But what they had momentarily overlooked was that close combat was one of the Imperial Army Legion’s specialties.
They drew greatswords that were taller than a person and faced the Celestial Tribe champions.
The greatswords, almost the size of spears, were not particularly disadvantaged in terms of range even against spears. Furthermore, those greatswords had already been modified in the armory.
Chaeng! Chang!
“Keuk, they’re not ordinary. Fly back into the sky and-”
“Die! Enemy of the Empire!”
Shuuuuuk, Seokeok!
“Keheok!”
All the greatswords were imbued with Aura Blades [blades made of concentrated magical energy]. Moreover, a device was connected to the armor in an integrated manner so that the Aura Blades could be easily launched as sword winds.
The Celestial Tribes, who felt disadvantaged in close combat and tried to escape, had to lose their lives to the flying sword energy without exception.
“Retreat! We have to retreat!”
The only option left for the Celestial Tribes, who had already begun to be overwhelmed, was retreat.
“Keep shooting! Show no mercy to the parasites who exploit the souls of other races!”
Of course, relentless attacks continued to pour down even during the retreat, and a disorderly rout ensued.
“Retreat! How dare they retreat without orders! General! Order them to advance again!”
Minerva was furious at the sight. But it wasn’t a rational judgment at all.
“Your Majesty, the defeat is too obvious! It’s useless to order an advance now! We must not lose them!”
“Damn it… Then attack using the floating island! That should be possible!”
The barrier was neutralized during the engagement. As Minerva said, they would be helpless against the floating island’s shelling.
“But if we do that, our allies might get caught up in it…….”
“Follow my orders, General! Otherwise, I will execute you first!”
“A, understood!”
At Minerva’s intimidation, the floating island’s shelling was eventually carried out again.
Kwaaaaaaa-
A thick beam cannon split the sky and flew towards the battlefield where the Imperial Army and the Celestial Tribes were intertwined.
If it exploded as it was, everyone would be swept away in a huge explosion.
Seokeok-
“…L, light beam vanished! Someone intercepted the light beam!”
“What?”
But the light beam flying towards them was intercepted as if something had cut it off.
Minerva didn’t know what was going on for a moment, but she gritted her teeth when she saw who appeared in her sight.
A person wearing silver armor was floating there.
“…Emperor.”
She remembered him. The leader of the humans who had driven her out of the Celestial Realm.
“Pour all the shelling on that guy-”
“Y-Your Majesty! He’s aiming at us! Shelling is coming first!”
“……!”
The moment she was about to pour all the floating island’s armaments on the Emperor, the Emperor was already aiming the Silvan Cannon.
It was a powerful means of attack that he had been using for a long time, but what was flying this time was a little different.
“Energy analysis results are the same as the armory’s main armament! We must immediately evade the floating island!”
“E, Evacuate quickly!”
The Silvan Cannon, which had been replaced with a railgun [an electromagnetic projectile launcher], the main armament of the armory, to further enhance its firepower.
Kwaaaang!
When the power was increased by adding the Imperial Spirit to it, the power was enough to cut the floating island in half with one blow.
“Your Majesty! We must evacuate immediately! The island is collapsing!”
“This… I’ll get you for this!”
With the floating island destroyed, the only option the Queen had was to escape.
* * *
“It’s over.”
The Celestial Tribes were defeated. Since the enemy’s main force was defeated, the influence in the entire New Continent would be greatly reduced.
There may be floating islands, but…….
“Since we have the railgun, those are over now too.”
The floating island, which was an overwhelming strategic weapon, was helpless against the railgun, so it seems that its effectiveness is over.
Of course, it seems that the railgun is not something that can be easily mass-produced, so if the floating islands run away, there is no answer, but just making them run away means that the strategic advantage has shifted to us.
“The problem is that the enemies have taken away considerable technology.”
The adjutant also mentioned what we had not been able to prevent.
I nodded willingly but didn’t attach much significance to what he said.
“Even if they hadn’t stolen the technology, in fact, the Creator God could have created such things.”
“Then why didn’t he create it? He could have destroyed us at any time?”
“He… thinks of this as a game. So he doesn’t want to destroy the rules he made.”
This game of gods. That itself reflected his will.
“Even civilizations filled with the wishes of countless people are just toys for his amusement. The past, the future, have no meaning to him.”
“Then… then what should we do, Your Majesty? How can we defeat such an omnipotent being?”
“I don’t know either. But if I face him, I might know the answer.”
What he wants to get at the end of this game, and what his identity is.
“Will we face him soon?”
“It won’t be long. But it seems like there’s still a little left.”
According to the picture the Creator God wants, there were still adversaries to be cleared.
If we defeat them all, the Creator God will probably appear himself, even if he doesn’t want to.
Then I won’t have to go find him.
“We must be prepared by then.”
Otherwise, the Empire will fall back into the cycle of destruction.
