"Eh, did you kill him?"
The battle started fast and ended fast.
Just as Shiran appeared from behind the wall, the black boundary had been untied by me, and the undead follower who was released from the [Silent Undead] slowly rose from the ground.
(Undead follower, directly transformed from a corpse into a servant of the undead through necromantic contamination, inherits the original combat power and memories, but has no ability to think. If control is needed, direct mental control of the opponent's actions is required.)
"Yeah, this guy almost killed me. There's no reason for me to let him live, right? And making him an undead memory wouldn't be missing, would it?"
"Well...you're a scary guy sometimes..."
"Eh...yeah?"
Strange, then again...why do I want to just kill someone whenever I'm cornered?
Eh? It's true, I hadn't paid any special attention to it before, but... it seems like I've reacted this way in these incidents.
The idea of killing the other party to put an end to the aftermath somehow popped up in my mind, why exactly....
"...Well, don't show that expression, I won't be soft if someone tries to kill me, even though I used to be a snow elf, but then I also killed countless enemies to be called a [Holy Maiden] ah."
"Really? It seems that this [World] isn't completely fair either. But let's get out of here for now, even though shielding magic is applied, there's a possibility of leaks, let's go."
"En."
------LAODING-------.
"So that's everyone here."
Back at the base, the room was already crowded with people, but no one else joined except for the extra Falan, Lanya, Yabai and Hill.
But inside this room, it was already the strongest fighting force inside this academy.
No, not only the strongest fighting force, but also all the fighting forces from the otherworld inside this academy.
"Very well, since everyone is here, let's explain what's happening inside the academy right now~"
"Everyone actually knows about that kind of thing, right~"
Fran smiled next to him.
"Or whoever doesn't know raise your hand now~ so we can make a special note of it~"
"........"
Everyone just kept silent, so it seems like they all know.
It must be that the ones standing here are people who have already received relevant information from me, or are nobles themselves. There's no need to explain even if you've already received the necessary information.
"Well then, let's move past the incident and go straight to the next explanation. We know there are three of our enemies, so let's let Yaling, who used to be in the Doka Academy, explain this."
"[Black Prince . Edward] [Blue Sea Knight . William] and [Scavenger . Johns] These three knights are the three club-like mercenary groups that were established inside the Duo Ge Academy through faith and were recognized by the school. It will soon be announced at tomorrow's commencement ceremony that they will represent our academy in the [All Continent Academy War], but..."
"But we're going to make sure we're one of the seats, aren't we~"
Princess Cheryl, who was very excited next to him, said, and then slapped the table.
What an image of a princess....
"Well, but now there's a problem."
I pushed up my glasses.
"Even if we apply to fight directly like this, we may not be able to qualify, after all, this academy is still ruled by a large number of nobles..."
"What's wrong with that! Just rush straight over and protest."
"Please spare us, Princess-sama, this isn't the Aether Empire, if we do that, we'll definitely be surrounded and annihilated by three knight groups ah, even if we're strong, we won't be able to withstand such a wheel fight, right?"
"...It seems like that too."
"Hey hey hey, please think about it and say it, we're kind of operating as a team now, so of course we have to act in our best interest... Of course, even if we have to go up there and make a scene I'm all for it. Honestly this is sort of our plan A, the positive breakthrough plan."
"Eh?"
"As the saying goes~ Just interesting."
"Eh eh eh? So what the hell were you talking about those theories for just now!!!"
"But it's only a last resort to do the next best thing, after all, then we'll be in a passive position."
And although we Trekkies can just come back to life, the people of this world will become undead when they die and come back to life... No, although I can make a resurrection potion with my core, how come it's too late for me to dig up the core immediately and then find someone to make a potion or something....
It's more practical to say that's almost impossible rather than too late.
So we'll be in a passive position if there's a head-on conflict.
"Or we... might have the same effect with another method~ Dale, how's the intelligence set up?"
"It's already gained the support of all the small kingdoms and principalities including the Aether Empire already it's surrounding, thanks to the Aether Empire's great influence in the Western Continent, we've already gained the support of 15% of the Western Continent countries."
"Including which of those countries that can't use the terminal?"
"Of course, there's also the remote mage towers, independent battle groups, and knights who are completely uninvolved in such events, and their slots have been completely taken up by us."
While this simple terminal was easy to crack, if you wanted to manipulate large amounts of data at the same time... you'd have to rely on Dale.
"Data already voted on...locked."
"Not bad for Dell, well done! Now we'll definitely be on top of tomorrow's battle list... No, we'll be a target, and if we can make up a larger percentage, we'll definitely be able to avoid the possibility of being attacked by the three Knights in a pinch. That's Plan B, the Intelligence Strategy Plan."
"But there are no more units that didn't participate in the vote..."
"Then save the meeting and all that, all of you, now go out and get the units that can vote over here before dawn tomorrow!"
"You guys are really messing around..."
Even Fran's next to her couldn't help but spit out.
"Messing around is the way we deal with problems oh~ Anyone else have any suggestions? If not, let's just go out and threaten those who have already chosen sides to join us!"
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, Yabai, who had been silent, actually opened his mouth.
"I have a way to gain the support of the church!"
"Let me join the church? Even if you don't join, you'll owe the church a big favor."
The church's terminals were still semi-closed, receiving external data for only one minute a day, and there was no time to upload the virus.
It's only at this stage, but it's already giving us enough headaches.
"A favor?... Never mind, if you win our church will be worshipped even more too, it's a win-win game."
"Really? So why me?"
"Because within this academy, you're the only one other than me who can spread the wings of an angel."
"........"
So that's the way to put it....
"Well, that's on you... Well, the two of you eavesdropping outside, since you're here in person, aren't you going to join our seminar?"
"...Eh? Klein, I thought you said this was a cloaking suit made using the latest alchemy and strange technology? How did they find out?"
"How do I know? Didn't we sneak out in our sneaking clothes before and not get caught?"
The door to the courtyard slowly opened and Klein and Princess Anne walked slowly through the door.
"Is it really okay for you guys to have a midnight rendezvous together?"
I laughed as I watched them take the cloaks off their bodies.
"No it doesn't! How could I possibly have a rendezvous with such a cheapskate!"
"Ohhhh, someone who finds me sneaky shopping has some nerve to say that, what a princess of a country."
Annie. Claudia, Princess of the Witt Empire - [Ice Blue Maiden], Her Highness who had this side of the story during her internship.
Klein. Kelly, an extreme observer in the class, had been in contact before but hadn't had much information, only knowing that this guy's family was a large chamber of commerce.
But after the terminal became popular, I found out something very serious. This guy's home ran the largest union in the Western Continent, the Morning Glory Guild.
Although this guy is hiding deep, but if you trust the internet too much, you will suffer, such as meeting hackers of our level.
This guild isn't just about business, it even has a department responsible for developing new magic items.
For example, these two invisibility suits they're wearing are their latest products....
But as for why I know then....
"Ah, that cloak is made in reference to the magic circuit I developed [Optical Camouflage], oh, and I added a special back door so I can see every piece of the cloak."
Next to him, Dale laughed.
"Eh? You're the one who provided technical support to Father at the terminal?"
"That's right."
"Of course, do you think you're just going to stand out there and Ojado won't notice?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Oyado's figure brushed up behind me.
"I'm very aware of your every move out there through Oyado."
"........"
They looked at each other and then laughed at the same time.
"Looks like...we didn't run out in the middle of the night for nothing."
"Yeah, I think my father would approve of such an investment, too."
"Phil, thanks to us, you have the support of another superpower and a super guild in the Western Continent, which now accounts for a percentage of..."
"27%"
Dale laughed and tapped the terminal's screen.
"We're over half the Order's support."
"The intelligence war is over, so next...it's battle time!"
