Chapter 84
#084
The death of Count Elcryer.
And the discovery of his secret experiments.
When these major incidents that shook the entire family occurred in succession, the Elcryer branches remaining in the homeland immediately showed their reactions.
Shock, disbelief, despair.
There were countless people trying to leave the family, and some nobles had already denied their relationship with them, prostrating themselves before the Emperor.
However, here in the Elcryer territory.
Among those gathered in the conference hall of the mansion, there were none who could do that.
The direct line of Count Elcryer’s family, its branches, and the Knight Order under them.
For those who directly inherited the count’s imprint, abandoning their family was nonsense.
“The final report has arrived. Lord Martin is officially deceased. The magic imprint… was lost along with the body.”
“…!”
“Ah, such a thing…!”
At the sorrowful voice flowing from the mansion’s head butler’s lips, sighs escaped from the nobles in attendance.
“Lord Martin… Perhaps it was a mistake to elevate him as the head of the family.”
The one who spoke those words was a noble with three stroke imprint.
Following him, the ones opening their mouths were the elders of the Elcryer family.
“The Elcryer magic imprint is without exception passed down to the one with the most outstanding magical power. Isn’t that tradition the very reason he became the head of the family?”
“To think that someone who ascended to the position of family head would do such things!”
“There’s too much evidence. The Imperial family won’t stay quiet, how should we explain this…!”
“Explain? Don’t make me laugh.”
Unlike the count himself who was a fanatical re
Corpses of people with their stomachs ripped open, monsters eating them, even scenes of those monsters killing people.
When he picked up the newspaper with such explicit photos on the front page, Martan crumpled it and screamed out.
“Y-you crazy bastards—!”
He mulled over the contents that flowed from the airship.
The Emperor declared them enemies of the state at 07:00.
They led their army here and completely surrounded this territory at 18:00.
In just 11 hours after the Imperial order was issued, they had surrounded the entire territory with an Imperial army brigade and Special Magic Unit.
“This is… this is…!”
There was never any time to respond from the beginning.
Countermeasures? Compromise? Political deals?
The other side hadn’t even considered such things from the start.
Their purpose was just one.
Complete annihilation without leaving a single ant alive.
Fear belatedly crept across Acting Head Martan’s face.
When he realized that the enemy’s gun barrels had reached right in front of his nose, everything was already far too late.
