Munchkin of the Summoning Academy

king of the night (3)

We quickly ran out of the dormitory and headed to the capital city court without delay.

Where I had been hearing before.

As the carriage carrying us passes through the main gate as if flying, other carriages arrive one after another.

It was last night that the Night King was summoned to Einclad.

And Ainclad and Korea are dizzyingly close.

Especially if you don’t use the sea road!

If the Black Dragon has the ability to fly, even if you travel with an army, you will reach the capital within 10 hours.

The Guards, who arrested Albion and other international students, began interrogation to see how much time was left.

At the top of the courtroom, Eshas and Fresia seemed to have arrived a little earlier than us.

And in the vicinity of them, three-dimensional images of the heads of the four families were summoned.

They didn’t even have time to start the ultra-long-distance transmission gate, so they filled it with something like that.

While some guards inspect the communication devices of international students.

Albion answered Esshas’s question directly.

“Tell me everything you know.”

“We really don’t know anything. It is true that we were investigating the Black Dragon in our home country, but we had no plans to summon Jinshin. At least that’s how I knew.”

Eshas didn’t believe Albion’s words, but…

In fact, two large cities in Einclad were destroyed to an irreparable level.

The capital city is fine, but even if the kingdom is destroyed as it is, it is not unusual for damage.

The price is too high for some kind of conspiracy.

“I don’t think I’m lying.”

“But it doesn’t mean that summoning the Black Dragon makes a momentary mistake…”

While the personnel in the hall were carefully guessing.

The demon lord in his heart began to doubt the side of the celestial temple.

Can any of them be manipulated to summon the Black Dragon?

While I was confused, the watch commander’s briefing began.

“Currently, the Black Dragon is moving across the sea to the western border. As you can see, it’s heading straight for the capital here.”

“Are you coming after the pieces kept in the royal palace…”

“Estimated arrival time is within the next 8 hours. I spent a lot of time in Einclad, but I got flying power instead.”

I clicked my tongue slightly as I recalled the undead griffon I was operating in Einclad.

It seems that he had abandoned most of his troops in the process of crossing the sea.

The troops left on the island are said to be indiscriminately attacking the surrounding area.

Einclad would be doing all he could to fix them.

The barbarians outside the Western Great Wall cannot stop the Black Dragon.

If we keep going like this, he’ll sweep the whole west and arrive in the capital.

Westwall Marquess, who had drawn the tragic scene without difficulty, urged urgently.

“Esha, the Black Dragon currently has few troops with it. Westwall is an invincible fortress that has not allowed enemy invasion for hundreds of years! ..”

It goes against Duke Beltern’s plan to send troops into the capital using the Black Dragon as an excuse, but…

If all of the capital’s main forces, including Essha, move to Westwall anyway, there’s no big problem.

Can’t we just let the western part burn like this?

In addition, Westwall’s defense is not much lower than that of the capital.

As it is a border area, there are many fortification weapons such as fortifications, and the terrain is just right.

The right choice for a strategist as well as the Great Lord of the West.

However, Esshas refused without hesitation the earnest request of the Westwall Marquess.

“No. The decisive battle with the Black Dragon will be held in the capital. The Westwall Marquess must evacuate the citizens in time.”

“Eshas-sama!”

It is rare that Marie Baek clings to her while screaming as if she is using evil…

Eshas never overturned.

In her eyes, even the smile of ‘Do you think you will enter the heart of your rebels?’ is young.

As long as they have already obtained information about the rebellion, it is natural that they do not want to leave the capital.

It’s an attitude that doesn’t care whether the whole of the West goes to ashes or not.

Swallowed by her reaction, Marshal Westwall looked at Fresia for help, but…

The benefit dragon did not intervene.

It looked as if she had already talked with Essha.

‘Isn’t it a strategic mistake to defend the capital?’

“That’s right. Eshas must have prepared something in his own way. If you leave the capital, you won’t be able to use it.”

In the end, even the Demon Lord understands.

This time, the Duke of Beltern spoke.

“Then transport the train guns and troops to the capital right now…”

“Wait. I will assign a separate mission to the Duke of Beltern. You must intercept the Black Dragon outside the castle.”

The Duke of Beltern was the main culprit of this rebellion.

Therefore, his troops were not even allowed to enter the castle at all.

Thanks to him, Duke of Beltern was laughing in vain.

Fresia, who had a solemn expression on her side, stepped out.

“It’s too much of a joke. To waste our troops in vain in a country where even the best use of Mercury’s advantages isn’t enough. Can I just ignore what I just said?”

“No, you’re joking! I’m serious…”

Eshas, who was struggling to protest, saw Fresia’s reaction and kept her mouth shut.

If she does, she growls wildly, as if she is going to join the rebels right now.

It also seems to stop if it goes over the limit.

With her, you can be relieved of issues such as deploying troops.

After finishing urgent matters, he returned to the dormitory.

While preparing for battle, such as changing clothes and collecting artifacts, the Royal Palace Guard came to pick up Elena.

Apparently, she and other high-ranking nobles from the capital will be evacuated.

You must have thought of using it as a hostage when you are in the car.

“Wait, whoever you want…”

“No. It’s fine. Don’t worry about me and make a big deal out of it. You know?”

Elena voluntarily shows up to dissuade Medusha from raging.

I went to see Christine and Maria, who were gearing up in their respective rooms.

This battle is so big and important, it seems that the heirs of the great clan are also participating in the war.

Christine, who misinterpreted my intentions, strikes first.

“Anyway, if this battle loses, not only the northern part, but the whole kingdom…”

“Wait a minute. I want to give them different roles.”

“What?”

Maria pulls Christine’s puzzled arm and points to the carriage outside the window.

They both understood what I was saying and nodded their heads.

After leaving, Elfriede joined them as well and continued preparations for the competition.

As if today was the last day, I headed to the fortress wall with Persia, who stole snacks full of sheep’s cheeks.

While they were busy walking, the gates of the academy and the royal palace were already shooting up magical lights high in the sky.

The Westwall Marquess, walking out from the main square, approached me.

Accompanied by Michael, he was trembling with rage.

It must be because Eshas rejected his request earlier.

“Is this the price of loyalty for hundreds of years of succession? There’s no need to hesitate anymore.”

“Look at that. A person who helps in difficult times is a true friend.”

“Sir Westwall, the evacuation order is…”

“That’s already in effect. Whether we fight at Westwall or not, we’re going to evacuate the civilians anyway… And now call me Grandfather.”

He also seemed to have completely hardened his mind toward the rebellion.

Actually, I and the Duke of Beltern were going to doubt him until the very end… I’m glad.

It is said that the evacuation work in the western area is easy because the gates are already open and the trains are mobilized.

Thanks to this, I was able to leave the academy with a bit of peace of mind.

While Westwall Marquess, who was really badly offended, complains in an unappealing way.

The dean, accompanied by the academy’s professors, joins us.

“It looks like 20% of your territory is going to be blown away, but you insist on defending the capital. Don’t you know that retreating on the ground is impossible here?

“You still look gloomy. Have you made up your mind?”

The dean smiled sheepishly when he showed a tired expression on the words suggesting a rebellion.

“Hey, I joined before you.”

“Isn’t Esshas’ subsidy cool?”

“Yeah. The new king will spend more than him. Doesn’t it?”

“Let’s try.”

Even the dean, who was the biggest source of anxiety, was successfully transferred.

Laurie approached him secretly and whispered in his ear.

The dean nodded with a slightly shaky expression on his face.

I don’t know what it is, but it’s not going to be a silly joke since we’re about to go to a decisive battle.

Before long, when we reached the wall, a full-fledged army was complete.

A long line of summoners filled the street.

The Duke of Beltern and the Ice Castle greeted warmly by using the gate of the royal palace.

Even before the battle with the Black Dragon, his expression is quite bright.

Then, upon arriving at the leisure states of Collingwood, Eshas, and Presia, the wide walls of the capital feel cramped.

Far away, from the train station side, even unwelcome faces join in.

“What, what elves…”

“The master has called you.”

The maid, fearing that I would hesitate, rushes forward.

Fortunately, there was no village chief I saw last time.

The elf who took the lead instead of her was a warrior with a sense of skill even by pretending to be.

The number is roughly around 100.

As all of them are high-ranking Summoners, it is by no means a small number.

Much better than the power of any count-level estate.

‘Actually, it’s funny that the Black Forest, which should be treated as a separate kingdom, is compared to one count-level estate…’

As we struggled to hide such thoughts, the scout commander who arrived in front of us greeted us.

“Two units of the Black Forest patrols. I will participate in the war as Count Elcloud’s reinforcements.”

“Thank you for coming.”

As I arrived on time, it seemed that the maid had contacted me separately.

Watching the troops constantly rushing in from all directions naturally gives me peace of mind.

The sound of Persia’s breathing wrapped around the nape of her neck also became noticeably easier.

How long has it been since you had a light meal to relieve tension?

As the Capital Defense Forces were busy inspecting old fortifications and replenishing arrows, a report came from the scouts remaining in the West.

The King of the Night, who landed earlier, passes through Westwall.

Fortunately, the central fortress used by the border guards and his family was evaded, but his path was said to have been completely devastated.

“The Western Great Wall can’t last even 30 minutes…”

“We’ve crossed the border, so it’s not long left.”

“It doesn’t seem like he’s in a hurry to see him smashing him so meticulously.”

Mikael, who had been poisoned, carefully grinded his teeth while watching the data sent by the scout.

A video of small stone fragments rolling over the ground.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s said to be the site of the Westwall Wall.

Fortunately, the evacuation was completed in time as planned.

However, it will cost you a lot to fix later.

Thinking that donations from the West would be cut off for a while, the dean, with his shoulders drooping, flew down the wall.

“Then let me prepare soon.”

“Hey, dean?”

The dean draws a complex and bizarre summoning circle, whether the people on the fortress wall are shaken or not.

At first, it was impossible to interpret it at all… The fortress is partly recognizable because I am also learning Dimension Summoning.

A large-scale technique that could completely cover the capital city.

However, the dimension that is set as the summoning target is quite daunting.

“Huh? Principal?”

“El Cloud. Give me one dragon heart.”

“yes?”

“You have two anyway. I can’t handle this with my amount of mana.”

After a moment’s hesitation, darkness began to gather from beyond the horizon.

There’s still a little bit of time left until the sun goes down…

As the sunlight fears the black dragon, it runs away from it.

“Hey, already…”

“Did you speed up because everyone was coming?”

“shit.”

I quickly opened a short-range portal and sent the Magic Eye Dragon’s heart.

The dean, who was provided with the highest quality summoning reagent and magic power source, puts it in the center of the summoning circle without hesitation.

“I want to summon Earth, but if there is a death, I can’t take responsibility for it…”

A large body approaching at high speed beyond carefree worries.

It is covered in thick darkness, so even the outlines cannot be seen properly.

The sun has long since disappeared completely.

Immediately after, the presence of Essha and Fresia appeared from behind me.

“Okay, finally…”

“Then let’s begin.”

A dean who activates dimensional summoning without hesitation from the start of the battle.

I clicked my tongue slightly as I watched the scenery around me change to that of the spirit world.
