Do Your Own Revolution

Chapter 173

#173

“Take aim.”

Whoosh-

The white-uniformed royal guards raised their gun barrels toward the sky in unison.

After a moment’s pause, as if reflecting on time passed.

“Fire.”

One week after blowing away Prince Meldir’s coronation ceremony.

With that quiet command, the royal guards’ ceremonial shots shook the gray sky above the imperial capital.

The first thing I did after occupying the imperial capital was to hold Emperor Friedrich’s funeral.

And to recover the bodies of the Imperial Guard Knight Order knights and royal guards who had been branded as traitors and discarded.

“Ah…!”

“General Eugene!”

I thought this when I first got my stars, but I still can’t get used to being called ‘General’ no matter how many times I hear it.

But regardless of how I felt about it, I maintained a solemn expression and bowed my head.

“Thanks to everyone here, we were able to recover the bodies of the loyal subjects abandoned in the palace underground. On behalf of the entire Kalhyram Army, I express my gratitude for your dedication and loyalty.”

“Ah, no!”

“Please raise your head. We…”

The people bowing their heads humbly at my words.

I heard they were palace servants who had escaped from the palace before Buckenheim invaded the imperial capital.

Those who didn’t leave the capital even during the Knight Order and magic nobles’ occupation.

I met them while

“We’re going to crash-!”

Other knights who grasped the situation screamed.

Too late to do anything now.

Count Drexler, gritting his teeth, shouted to the knights on the train.

“Everyone, brace for impact-!”

And then the imperial armored train that had been charging at full speed crashed right into their train.

Crash—!

With a massive explosion, the derailed armored train cars tumbled chaotically across the barren field.

“Kuhek! Kheuk…”

“Damn… ramming a train, what kind of crazy…”

“Get it together! Maintain formation!”

A situation where normal people would have been pulverized by the impact of the collision.

But the knights who quickly regained their senses immediately began finding their positions and forming ranks.

A knight who hunts knights.

Living up to that reputation, these were the most battle-hardened mages among the mage families.

“I didn’t expect you to approach first, Eugene.”

The one standing at the vanguard of these knights.

Count Drexler spoke while watching Eugene slowly walk out of the smoke.

“However, you’re rash.”

Whoosh-!

Following the Count’s movement, Blue Lance Knight Order members positioned around aimed their spears at Eugene.

The core Count Drexler would take the firepower while the other knights supported him.

The following armored train would prepare bombardment, and the train cannon would also be ready in the meantime.

If they could hold him until then.

Victory would be theirs.

“Letting Buckenheim escape and giving the nobles time to gather.

That was your fatal mistake…!”

“Escape?”

Cutting off the Count’s words, Eugene opened his mouth.

“What?”

“Thanks to Buckenheim running away with his tail between his legs, I don’t have to go hunting them one by one.”

Thanks to that, they’ve gathered in one place, making it convenient to wipe them out all at once.

Saying that, Eugene activated the imprint sealed in his right arm.

Whoosh-!

“…!”

“Damn, what magical power…!”

The pressure felt just from activating the magic circuit.

“I didn’t let Buckenheim escape.”

In the midst of the knights gritting their teeth, Eugene showed a faint smile.

“I let him go on purpose.”

Now Eugene had only one thing left.

To clear away these idiots and kill Buckenheim.
