The Prince Wants To Retire - The Prince Wants To Retire chapter 196

Gaiden 7. Invasion of another dimension?

After calming the empress’s anger with the summoning entities, she stayed by her side throughout the evening to relieve her anger.

That night, for the first time, I begged the now-disappeared god to let me enjoy my honeymoon for a month or two.

However, it was proven the very next day that God was gone.

“Did you really have to report today?”

At Kariel’s question, Tarion glanced aside and broke into a cold sweat.

The next morning, Kariel, who came with the empress to the emperor’s palace, was walking in the garden, but Ayla’s mood, which was barely resolved by Tarion, who came to say it was urgent, began to sink to the bottom again.

“… … I apologize.”

Seeing the empress’ expression, Tarion barely spoke in a voice that went through a mouse hole.

The empress’ expression as she looked at Kariel from afar was ‘Why did I marry this man?’ It had cooled to the point where I felt like I could hear the same inner thoughts.

It was because it became a daily routine for a husband to stand out during his honeymoon, and to go out of the palace on a fictitious day when he tried to enjoy his newlywed life after returning.

‘Quickly report and get out.’

After seeing the shape of Kariel’s mouth, Tarion hurriedly handed over the report and said.

“A very large gate has been created in the southern provinces.”

At Tarion’s report, Kariel’s expression hardened.

“How big is it?”

“It is as big as when the demon king descended.”

At his words, Kariel bit her lip.

only one month

He said he would rest only that much, but this guy called fate couldn’t wait for that and he did it.

“… … Summon the ministers.”

“Yes.”

After hearing Kariel’s command, Tarion hurriedly disappeared. Ayla, who had been waiting for him to disappear, quietly approached Kariel’s side.

“Is this serious?”

“perhaps?”

After saying that, Kariel grabbed both of Ayla’s shoulders and said.

“Maybe we have to assume the worst.”

“… … Is that enough?”

Cariel nodded at Ayla’s question.

“A demon lord-class gate has appeared.”

“ah… … .”

Ayla’s eyes began to tremble because she knew how fiercely Kariel fought against the demon king during the Great War.

“Maybe I should be prepared just in case.”

Looking at Kariel speaking with a serious expression, Ayla nodded heavily.

The little hatred she had for her husband, who went out, had disappeared before she knew it.

“If the worst comes, you might have to evacuate to a safe place. I am preparing my heart.”

Ayla’s eyes trembled at Kariel’s words, but she had no choice but to nod slightly.

Unlike the others, Ayla was weak.

So, if you don’t want to become a burden, it was right to evacuate first.

“I’ll stop by in the evening.”

“… … yes.”

Cariel leaves Ayla, who nodded slightly, and heads for Daejeon.

Then Surt, who had been silent, appeared and spoke quietly.

-Are you good at lying?

“It is not a lie.

Kariel refutes Surt’s words.

In fact, it was necessary to keep in mind that the capital could be attacked at any time if it was a demon king level gate.

It was true that the Demon King, who was clearly close to God, was a fearful being.

But will it be as difficult as when he was a student in Daejeon?

– tt! If it’s the current Ignit, it’ll take care of itself even if you don’t go.

Kariel smiled without refuting Surt’s words.

Maybe it can be stopped without Glenn or Marquis Sicario being put in.

Since they made a contract with the remnants of the past for a day like today, they and Ignit’s main force would be more than enough to stop them.

“What… … It may be, but there is something called.”

Kariel, who eventually admitted it, smiled and headed to Daejeon.

* * *

Arriving in Daejeon after a while, Kariel sat on the highest chair.

“As everyone has heard, in the end the expected thing happened.”

At Kariel’s words, everyone nodded with serious expressions.

“Seriel, how are you preparing?”

“We’ve concentrated most of the Confederates at the gate.”

“What about the remnants of the contract?”

“We are only gathering in the southern region.”

Kariel nodded her head with a satisfied expression on Seriel’s measures and looked at Rufiel and said.

“Lupiel.”

“Yes! your majesty.”

“From now on, you will do all the duties for me.”

“Yes? Haona, Your Majesty… … .”

Luffiel looked at Kariel with a surprised expression.

However, looking at Kariel, who was making an expression without a single point of play, she couldn’t open her mouth any more.

“This is just the beginning. I don’t know how many more gates will come out.”

“… … .”

“I, Glenn, and Marquis Sicario will be on standby from now on just in case. So, Seriel.”

“Yes! your majesty.”

“Work with Tharion to gather as much information as possible and use us in the right situation.”

Seeing Kariel telling her to use her, Seriel’s eyes widened.

And it was the same for all the ministers, including Luffiel.

“From now on, think of me as a master-class being, not an emperor.”

“Haona… … .”

“This is not the time to argue about this and that.”

Even at Kariel’s words, Seriel couldn’t easily answer.

It was because he would be beaten by the people of the empire if he recklessly moved the emperor of the empire, especially a being revered as a god.

“We need to stabilize the western continent as soon as possible.”

At his words, the others nodded slightly.

Even on the East Continent, like Ignit, they are preparing for an invasion from another dimension while attempting to make contracts with a number of remnants, but their power is too strong.

Although they say they have been buying the latest weapons from Ignit lately, if the huge gate opens like now, the possibility that they will be pushed back could not be ruled out.

“After stabilizing the main base, we put gates across the continent under our control.”

When Kariel said the final goal, the ministers swallowed their saliva and lowered their heads.

After stabilizing Ignit, the main base, he planned to extend his influence to the southern islands and the new continent while keeping the entire continent under control.

“I said before, let’s use the invasion from another dimension as a foundation for humanity to advance to the next level, not for war.”

Having said that, Kariel looked at Luffiel and Seriel.

“Let’s do it. A powerful world that dares not cross any dimension. to make it.”

Ignit has already surpassed the continent’s strongest and has become the world’s strongest nation.

I thought I had accomplished everything, but the next goal was created semi-forcibly due to the invasion of another dimension.

To protect the world and become a dimension that no one can surpass.

To show that you can protect the world without God.

“Can you?”

“Yes!”

“yes!”

Cariel smiled brightly at the answers of the two younger brothers and nodded.

“I believe everyone can do well without any burden.”

Having said that, Kariel got up from the throne and came down. For the duration of the war, he showed himself that he would be a soldier rather than an emperor.

After seeing it, Luffiel and Seriel bowed their heads slightly and then stood on either side of the throne.

As it was during the Great War, Luffiel was in charge of the interior and Seriel was in charge of the war, and prepared to prevent the invasion of other dimensions in earnest.

Luffiel and Seriel discuss the details of the invasion of another dimension as they lead the ministers.

After sorting out the most urgent things, Luffiel said the final agenda.

“I’m thinking of creating a dedicated team to prevent being identified as an express gate.”

Luffiel stopped talking and looked at Kariel and the two Grand Masters standing in front of him.

“I will build a team around these three in front of me, and they will be put on the most dangerous battlefields.”

Those who have reached the highest level will enter the most dangerous battlefield.

If it had been another country, they would put their best effort to the forefront and break the enemy’s forefront at an early stage.

In order to spare the Masters during the Dark Ages, Ignit tolerated even the defilement of the borders by enemy countries and hordes of demons.

Ignit changed in order not to go through such times again.

In order to make the most high-ranking person devote themselves, the power of the Empire’s Master level or higher has always been at the forefront of action.

And it was Kariel who created such an atmosphere.

As an emperor, he always moved without choosing a dangerous battlefield.

Then again, he wanted to go to the most dangerous battlefield for the people of the Empire.

“The Special Gate Task Force will be composed of Grand Masters and above, and it will be the most honorable organization in the Empire.”

A place more honorable than any other organization in the Empire, let alone the ministers.

An organization where heroes who helped establish the nation during the time of the first emperor in the past gathered.

Everyone gathered in Daejeon realized that they wanted to revive that very organization.

“Soshin wants to call this the ‘round table’.”

Luffiel asks Kariel for permission.

Seeing his expression like that, Kariel smiled and nodded.

The Round Table naturally disappeared as it was an organization that was created during the time of the first emperor and rotted from generation to generation.

That was the moment to resurrect as a more honorable organization.

“I will allow the resurrection of the Round Table by my own authority.”

The moment the round table was officially announced, everyone in Daejeon applauded.

Also, the Masters gathered in Daejeon looked at the Grand Masters including Kariel and looked at them with envy.

The conditions were simple.

“The only condition of the round table is powerlessness. If you want to get in, go over the wall.”

Kariel, who made simple conditions, said while looking at the Minister of Home Affairs.

“We will reopen the Palace of the Round Table. to prepare.”

“I take orders.”

When the Minister of Home Affairs walked out of Daejeon with his head bowed, attendants followed.

This is because the dirty and dilapidated building had to be resurrected after being closed for a long time.

With the revival of the most honorable institution in the Empire, the war to prevent invasion from another dimension began in earnest.

* * *

“Invasion from another dimension! What was predicted is happening!”

Now, as many gates began to be created that even ordinary citizens could see, the empire did not hide and honestly announced everything.

“An invasion from another dimension has begun.”

Perhaps a war that could be more terrible than the Great War broke out.

“How long has it been since the war ended… … .”

“Can I survive this time?”

Many people who had just emerged from the crisis of destruction read the newspaper with a worried expression.

How many people were killed in the Great War?

Also, how much suffering they suffered during the war.

Even before the pain was completely gone, a global crisis called the invasion of another dimension occurred.

But miraculously, Ignit did not experience a major crisis in the invasion of another dimension.

“The huge gate that appeared in the south!”

“A gate built on the western coast of the empire. Logistics are disrupted!”

“A gate has occurred near the Eastern Railway!”

Clearly, the newspapers were making haphazardly graded gates here and there.

However, the people of the Empire did not feel much.

“We have completed the blockade of 23 gates in the west.”

“great.”

Seriel, who blocked the dozens of gates that appeared in the West, lit up.

Although it was close, the Empire grasped all the gates that appeared in the Western Continent and was closing them down close to perfection.

Therefore, the people of the Empire could not easily determine whether they were at war or not. So some of them even thought that the gate might not be very dangerous.

But it didn’t take long for this to change.
