Chapter 368: The Order of the Black Twin Princes
We are stillalive?
Seems so.
I answered Chars muttering.
After collecting herself, Char rushed to the children.
They seem to be pretty debilitated but their lives dont seem to be in danger.
Judging so, Char sighs in relief.
Passing by Char, I proceeded forward.
To be honest, I am about to collapse because of the amount of blood I lost but I still have something to do.
The battlefield was in chaos.
After all, the Flying Dragons that were flying at low altitudes all fell to the ground.
Flying Dragons use their magic power to fly. If that is erased, it will naturally affect their ability to fly.
The 6th Corp were not affected probably because they knew that I would use the Imperial Flag and fled to the sky. The same is true for the Dragon Knights on our side.
Thats why the time is now.
We now held the advantage on both ground and the sky.
Its time to play some trick.
Char. can you amplify my voice?
Un.
Then lets get started.
The enemy is still confused.
But there is confusion on our side as well.
Thats why I have to calm them down while directing them to the enemy.
How was it? Gordon. It seems that your trump card has been taken out of the picture now though?
.KILL HIM! ALL SOLDIERS! KILL ARNOLD AND EVERYONE AT THE HEADQUARTERS! ADVANCE! THEIR DEFENSE IS THIN RIGHT NOW!
Thats right. We forcibly broke through the enemys line of defense with a small number of elites.
There are still many enemy soldiers around us. And they are enough to surround us.
However.
I am addressing every soldier on the battlefield. Let me explain what just happened. Earlier, at the enemy headquarters, there were multiple children with odd-eyes whose magic power were running wild. To be precise, they were rigged to run wild. The same thing happened once already in the south of the Empire. An experiment on producing a magic weapon using children as tools. We just countered it with our national treasure, [the Imperial Flag]. If we failed, this whole battlefield would have already been turned into a crater by now.
ITS NONSENSE! DONT BE FOOLED!
I dont really mind if you dont believe me. However, I want you to think twice about your commander who just abandoned you here. I want the Dragon Knights who selflessly charged at us without knowing the whole plan to think about what just happened. You have no cause to fight for. Let me tell you something that anyone should be able to understand. Humans are creatures that continue their bloodline through their children. Thats why children are our future. Taking advantage of those children and using them like a tool is the same as compromising our future. If you do not care about that then just come at us. We will not forgive anyone who would tolerate such a thing.
The whole battlefield was still.
They should already know that Gordon was planning to activate some kind of trap. They knew that they were abandoned even if they didnt know what for.
Thats originally how a battlefield is.
Some may have been wanting to fight with their lives on the line. However, they shouldnt desire the cause they are fighting for to be one that is fine with using such inhumane weapons.
It seems that the enemy Dragon Knights who were up in the sky and managed to avoid the effect of the flag are also confused.
They are wondering if the enemy is lying to them or not but they cant decide.
How dare you spouting such lies!? Everyone! Do not be fooled by him! Just crush the enemy!
Alright, then what were you trying to use just now?
What?
What was the trap that guaranteed your victory? How did we stop it and what did your men fight to protect? If you are saying that I lied then explain yourself.
I HAVE NO NEED TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO THE LIKES OF YOU!
Well, of course, he couldnt explain it.
However, it is still necessary to clear up doubts in his allies.
He probably couldnt come with any good excuse so he doesnt even attempt to deceive his men.
After all, if he says something wrong, his lies will be called out.
Having no consideration for others, taking things for your own. Using force to rob, using force to make others obey. Never listen to the people around you and take them all for granted. Let me put this clearly, you are unsuitable to be an emperor.
WHAT DO THE LIKES OF YOU KNOW!? ADLER IS A CLAN OF CONQUEROR! WHAT WE DO IS CONQUER! IT IS EXACTLY BECAUSE WE NEED A TRUE CONQUEROR AS A RULER THAT I AM THE MOST SUITABLE FOR THE THRONE.
So he started trying to justify himself huh.
Fool.
Now, what Gordon should do is not talk about how he should be an emperor.
He should have tried to calm down his subordinates.
How does he deserve to be an emperor? That is pointless given that anything he brings up can be countered.
Above allhe is mistaken in his interpretation of Adler.
Sure, Adler is a clan of conquerors. We couldnt stand being robbed so we decided to rob everything and keep them under our protection. We vowed to protect everything under the wings of the golden eagle. To do that, it is true that we have to be aggressive at times. That is undeniable. But the will of Adler isnt what you just described.
AND YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU BASTARD UNDERSTOOD WHAT ADLER STAND FOR!?
I am also an Adler after all. So I will tell you. The true meaning of Adlers conquest is [to Conquer through Admiration and Devotion]. Only a second-rate conqueror would rely on brute force to make others submit. To fascinate people is to be an Adler. Dont you dare talk about Adler with that narrow insight of yours, Gordon.
We have invaded those that we couldnt have come to an understanding with.
However, we kept moving forward with our cause in mind.
Many bend their knees in front of the Adlers because of that.
We will not take everything by force.
Through our ideals, we gain allies.
Sometimes we conquer by force and other times we conquer by words. That is Adler.
The idea of conquering everything through force alone is not Adler.
Power is needed but you also need the ability to fascinate people.
Naturally, either is not enough by itself.
I dont know if that was the right thing to do but the Adler has conquered and put many under our wings. The Adlers still remain the guardian of the conquered. If there is a vassal in need, we rush to their aid. If there is a vassal who was wronged we will right it. Never! Would we use children as weapons, we would never abandon our subordinates to use that kind of weapon! Someone that rebelled against your own country and brought disasters to the people who you are supposed to protect is not an Adler at all! If you say that you are still suitable to be an emperor then show me your resolve!!
When I said that, I raised the Imperial Flag high.
So that Gordon can take a good look at it.
To all soldiers that sided with Gordon! If you think that your action is wrong even a little then immediately surrender! But if you think that there is still a future waiting for you at the expense of these children then stay in place and tremble! Now, our whole army will go over to take your heads! To everyone who belongs to the Imperial Army and the Northern Lords army! BE ANGRY! BE FURIOUS! LET YOUR EMOTIONS EXPLODE! WHAT YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW IS CORRECT! NO ONE ON THIS CONTINENT SHOULD FORGIVE SUCH AN ENEMY!
With that said, I tilt the flag to the side.
Leo who was on my left held the sword in his right hand and raised it to cross the flag.
At the same time, the twin sword standards were raised by both armies.
The morale of the soldiers is at an all-time high.
BY THE ORDER OF THE BLACK TWIN PRINCES! DEFEAT THE REBELS!
Me with the Imperial Flag and Leo with the sword.
We swing both down.
With that as a signal, the entire army began an offensive.
The first to move was the Northern Lords army.
Leading is Duke Lowenstein.
At the forefront, the duke wields his lightning.
Then.
[FOR HIS HIGHNESSES-!!!!!!!!]
He raised such a warcry as he head for the enemy army with the twin sword standard banner raised high.
