Chapter 265

TL: Zimmings

Boom! Boom, boom, boom!

A meteorite fragment came out of the air. A tent hit by the meteorite.

The Amity army did not even have time to protect it. They worked hard to avoid meteorites and the tent was ruined.

In the meantime, Dubblede’s soldiers attacked them.

When Eston Marche saw them appearing, he clicked his tongue and shouted.

“Mages!”

The maves rushed out. However, there was no one who made a proper barrier due to the lack of time. Rather, they couldn’t avoid Dubblede and focused at making it at the same time.

A mage, who faced the fierce Dubblede soldiers in front of him, could only shout inside and close his eyes.

‘Damn-!’

But it was weird.

They didn’t feel the pain over time. Even his shoulder strap was not cut off. When the mage opened her eyes,

“Oompfh?!”

Her body was stuffed into a bag. And Dubblede’s soldier began to run away while carrying her in the bag.

“Mpfh!”

The mage struggled with bewilderment, and in front of her, she could see Eston Marche’s mages who was also kidnapped.

But the mages was not the only one who were kidnapped.

“Huh? Huh? Our mages…”

“What are you doing to my mages!”

Dubblede soldiers kidnapped the mages and ran away as if it were planned.

Eston Marche and Jonathan looked at Dubblede soldiers running away, amazed.

‘What kind of trick are they pulling?’

Rather than attacking them, they ran away with the mages?

Eston looked at Leblaine in the distance. She was covering her mouth with her hands and giggling.

‘That crazy person…!’

Eston shouted after much contemplation.

“Catch them! Don’t miss it!”

However, the soldiers quickly headed to Leblaine, and when Leblaine tore up the teleportation scroll, they disappeared in front of his eyes. The attack was also cut off.

As the surroundings became quiet, the commander of the Amity army asked Jonathan who hardened.

“What? Why did she run away with mages?”

“Replace those who have been taken away right away. We have to hurry up!”

“What? But there is no substitute. I only picked those people and paid them a hefty sum.”

“That’s why they took them. They didn’t have any attachment to the family, so they will easily change your mind. They took them to make them on her side!”

The commanders’ eyes widened. When they rushed for a replacement…

[Dubblede, replace one soldier]

[Dubblede, replace two soldiers.]

[Dubblede, replace one soldier]

[Dobblede. A total of 5 soldier will be replaced. I’ll notify again. Dubblede will replace 5 soldiers]

Boom!

The magic tool for announcement in the battle, which was hanging in the sky, exploded at once.

“Huh?”

As soon as someone shouted, the face of the Amity’s army became dark.

‘If there is no such thing, how do we replace the soldiers?’

The pale commander asked Eston Marche.

“What do we do now, lord… lord?

“…….”

“Lord, please be strong. Our defeat is not yet determined. Why do you look so grim?”

“…making fun of me.”

“What?”

“She was mocking me when she dragged our mages!”

When their eyes met, Leblaine stuck out her tongue.

How dare he mock this Estom Marche? Me, the successor to the Duke of Marche?

Eston Marche shouted.

Meanwhile, in the imperial palace

[…making fun of me.]

The hall of the imperial palace is turned upside down. Most people grabbed their stomachs and laughed loudly, forgetting their manners, and even those famous for their decency shook their shoulders after covering their mouths with their hands.

There were only a few people with grim expressions.

Cardinal Reginald and the people who are allied with Marche family.

People glanced at Duke Marche, who clenched his fist.

“He looks ridiculous.”

“Hush, His Excellency could hear you.”

Reginald coughed and talked to him.

“The number of the mages stolen is less than twenty. On the other hand, the number of our soldiers is over 150. Don’t worry.”

“So it isn’t a big deal that Marche’s name has become tainted?”

“…… I didn’t mean that, sir.”

The Amity allied family members looked at the Cardinal Reginald with cold eyes.

“I hesitated to cooperate because I was afraid that this would happen. How can the child of fate from other world know about battles? Why would a woman who doesn’t understand battles became the commander?’

“Jonathan will come up with a solution.”

“After Lord Marche and my son’s name was tainted?”

Reginald remained silent, and people burst into anger.

“You should definitely tell the pope. Nothing will be able to compensate for the loss of the honor of my family and successors.”

If those allied families were defeated by Dubblede who was alone, the aftermath would be considerable.

At that time, the Duke of Amity and Theodore Dubblede, who were silent all along, looked at each other.

As Theodore’s mouth went up, Duke Amity said,

“Did you forget the chivalry? Don’t make fun of children who are fulfilling their responsibilities just because they have the upper hand.”

“Don’t worry. Since the one I’m mocking you.”

At last, the Duke of Amity’s expression crumpled.

I glanced at the mages, who kneeled down in front of me.

“Change your mind.”

“Even though we’re not tied to them, we have a reputation to uphold. If we break a contract that we’re blinded by money, who will come back to us?”

“I’ll give you ten times more.”

“I’ll make them admit defeat!”

I looked at the mage who was blind to money with a happy face.

‘That’s why I like greedy people.’

They’re easy to handle.

I beckoned to the commander of Irie, leaving behind the cute greedy people who were burning with enthusiasm.

“Those allied people are annoying. I have to break them up.”

“Are you going to attack them?”

“No, I’ll just poke them. I don’t want to be entangled.”

“Even if they stick together properly, there is a chance of winning. Don’t we, lady? If the lady comes out-”

I glanced at the magic tool in the air, then lowered my voice.

“I can’t do that.”

“Huh?”

“They’ll break even if they get hit just once.”

“What?!”

This is a hastily modified version of Lane’s body to resemble mine, so it is weaker than the original Lane. In order to properly speak here, my voice had to go through the magic tool every time you speak. In other words, my already weak body is in a state of overload.

Lane will recover when it is broken, but it will take a considerable amount of time.

‘Then it will be revealed to the whole world that I participated in the game through the doll.’

It’s easy to notice that I have a problem because I took a leave of absence from Odis.

‘If they dig behind and find out that I have become younger, I’m doomed.’

There are people who know I’m younger, but there’s no evidence. If I grow up again and deny it, they can’t do anything about it.

But if there’s any evidence…….

‘The temple will pretend to be worried about my body and do everything, saying they have to investigate my body.’

The results of the investigation will be manipulated to declare that I have called out the devil, and they will replace me with a doll that listens well outside the reach of my family.

That was the reason why I didn’t want to participate in the battle with Lane’s body from the beginning.

The commander gulped.

“What will you do?”

“Don’t worry. There’s a way.”

“How could you say that?”

I whispered with a cunning smile.

***

A few hours later, at another barracks in the Dubblede camp.

Mina was trapped in a barracks away from Leblaine. A faint light came out on the tied wrist, and a cold sweat formed on her forehead.

‘A little more. A little bit more.….’

Mina clenched her teeth. Soon after, the rope on the wrist broke.

‘Controlling the divine power is harder than I thought.’

It was more difficult to burn the rope slowly so that no one could notice it.

The difference is like a child pouring water into the floor at once or controlling the water and pouring it gradually with a small cup.

‘Leblaine had trained a lot longer than me right now. Even though my divine powers are stronger than her, I can never defeat her.’

If I hadn’t gained my previous life memories, I wouldn’t have been an opponent, as the girl said.

Mina, who raised her body, looked around the barracks where she was trapped.

‘I have to get out of it now, but the barriers are extremely strong. Is there any good way?’

“Huh?”

If she looks closely, she can see some sacks everywhere. She looked inside and saw a bunch of thin pieces of wood.

“Jonathan, what’s this?”

[Supplies. This is a virtual battle in preparation for the real one. The indispensable thing for battle is supply. However, we can’t waste valuable supplies, so we use this as the supply for virtual battle.]

[Ah! I think I learned it in school. An army whose supplies ran out will be defeated.]

[Yes, soldiers have to break this every certain amount of time, and those who haven’t broken it for more than a day will be eliminated even if their shoulder strap is not cut off.]

Dubblede hurriedly moved to prepare for the attack.

Dubblede, who doesn’t have manpower, won’t be able to make two strong barriers at the same time.

They were just building a barracks, so they set up a temporary barrier for a while and put supplies together with her, a hostage.

‘I never imagined I’d untie the string myself. Leblaine doesn’t know I had memories of my past life.’

They’ll think I had a dream at best.

‘If I burn all this supply, I can turn the table around.’

A fire broke out from Mina’s hand.
