The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Chapter 382: Rain Storm – Second Part

Chapter 382: Rain Storm – Second Part

Good grief

I wipe my soaked hair with a towel.

Currently, I am inside the carriage specially prepared for me.

A number of carriages were connected along the riverbank to create a temporary foundation.

For the time being, I couldnt say how it is holding up unless I saw the situation with my own eyes so I looked at the river and found that the water level was higher than I expected.

The area near the bridge in the middle of the territory is about to flood.

It was a place where people didnt expect water to rise so the situation is quite bad.

Currently, the knights are constructing an earth wall along the river and reinforce them.

It is not an end-all solution but we cant do anything more unless we reinforce the weak points first.

When I was thinking about that, Char and Elna entered the carriage.

While arguing with each other.

This is unbelievable! The prodigy of the Brave house is afraid of water?

Im not afraid of water, Im just not good at places with a lot of water!

That isnt any different! Why did you tag along here in the first place!? You cant even get close to the river!

Th, There are things that I can do without approaching the river!

Your voice is already shaking!

I sigh and give them a clean towel.

Char was instructed to command the knights while Elna was instructed to collect anything that we can use to reinforce the wall.

The fact that they are here means that the work is done for the time being.

How did it go?

For now, the foundation of the earth wall has been completed. All that is left is to reinforce it.

What about your end, Elna?

I carried the stones in the surroundings here as much as possible. Once we process them, they should be usable.

Good, do that as fast as possible. Honestly, it doesnt look like we have much time.

The rain is not falling any heavier but it has not decreased either.

If it keeps raining like this, the river will surely flood.

If that happens, not only the houses, the crops will also be damaged.

That will significantly delay the reconstruction of the north.

Such a thing is unacceptable.

Alright. Lets go. Now is the time we do our best.

With that said, I went out to face the storm again together with Char and Elna.

Your Highness! The rain is getting stronger! Please stay away from the river!

Marc said so and tried to stop me.

However, I stand on the completed earth wall.

Despite being a quick work, it is made quite well. Moreover, the stones Elna collected and processed reinforced it even further.

The weakest part was somehow reinforced.

However, the rain doesnt stop.

Of course, this is not the final solution.

The reinforcement is done! Lets leave the rest to fate, Your Highness!

I hate leaving things to fate!

Even if Your Highness says that, we have already done what we can! What are you doing up there Your Highness!?

You dont know!?

Not a clue!

Sebas! Do you know what I am about to do!?

Well, I can somewhat guess, sir.

Sebas who was a little distance away answered.

I grinned at Sebass answer.

So he can guess it huh.

I beckon Marc.

Having no choice, Marc climbs the earth wall and approaches me.

Do you want to know my plan!?

Yes! I do. But please tell me that later! For the time being, please get down! It is dangerous here!

Its dangerous but it will be fine with you at my side right?

I also have my limits, Your Highness!

Is that so?

While smiling at Marc, I slowly leaned over toward the river.

Marc hurriedly grabbed my arm.

Your Highness!! His Highness is falling! Help me!!

HaHaHa! Its the third time Ive been helped by you huh?

Is this the time for you to laugh!? Please get back up!!

Nah, that would be impossible with my strength. Pull me up.

Seriously..! Support me! I am pulling His Highness up!!

With the knights around him grabbing his body, Marc pulls me up with both arms.

As expected of an Imperial Knight.

Marc who brilliantly pulled me up fell on his back with a rough breath.

.that was too scary.

Is that so. Well, it was a big pinch after all.

Why are you being so carefree, Your Highness!? Do you understand your position!? You are His Majesty the Emperors representative in the north! You are effectively the ruler of the north you know!?

Yeah, that is absolutely correct. It would be really bad if I die right?

Exactly! If you understand that then please get down! The river is too dangerous right now!

With that said, Marc drops me off the earth wall.

To that Marc, I post a question.

Marc, can you use voice amplifying magic?

Yes? I can but

Then Im counting on you. I have to say something to Elna.

Elna is waiting in the sky a little away from the river.

Her job was to observe the situation in our surroundings.

It was me who ordered her to be there

My real purpose for her is different though.

No one other than the hero can play the heros role after all.

[[Can you hear me? Elna von Amsberg.]]

[[I can! Al!? Its dangerous there so get away quic.]]

[[By the authority vested to me as the Warden of the North, my position is the equivalent to the Emperors here. Earlier, I almost died. This situation is extremely dangerous. It would not be strange to call this a national crisis.]]

I stopped Elna mid-sentence.

It would be troublesome if she says something unnecessary here after all.

Seeing my grin, Sebas shook his head.

This is a situation where Silver can not interfere. However, even without Silver, there is still an alternative.

Its a situation where I need someone else to do the job. So, I let her do it.

The reason I came out here personally was to clear the conditions.

[[During this crisis to the Empire, I, the Warden of the North, Seventh Prince Arnold Lakes Adler, hereby order you by the authority of Emperor Johannes Lakes Adler. Hero, take the holy sword into your hands!]]

Perhaps she saw through my intention, Elna raises her hand to the sky.

Then.

[[Hear me and descend! O brilliant sword of the stars! Now, the Hero needs you!!]]

White light gathered in Elnas hand.

With a dazzling light, it transforms into the holy sword.

Far from being limited to the Empire, it is the strongest weapon on the continent.

A trump card that should not be used outside of a crisis.

Thats why reinforcing the river was the highest priority.

It would be a laughing matter if the river flooded afterward after all.

That being said, that worry has disappeared.

The rest is to execute the plan.

[[I permit you. HeroSplit the Heavens!]]

[[HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!]]

At my command, Elna swung the holy sword up toward the sky.

A huge torrent of light immediately cut through the huge rain clouds that cover the north.

It was a slash that literally split the heavens.

A little later, the aftermath of the holy swords blow assaulted us.

I was about to be blown away by the blast but the knights formed up around me and withstood it.

Then, when it passed.

The dim rain clouds that covered the sky disappeared leaving behind a clear blue sky.

The illusion-like ray of sunlight touches the ground.

As expected of the holy sword. Even nature is nothing before it huh.

Since the blow was directed to the sky, Elna wouldnt hold back.

The power is clearly different from before.

Is this the result of unconsciously turning off her limiter?

While such a question was raised in my mind, I greeted Elna who came down from the sky with a smug grin on my face.

TLN: SO IT WAS YOUR FAULT!!! ELNAAAAAAA!!!!!
