How should I attack the next invasion routes?

  The black priest Pangnilin suddenly rushed in to report to Sungjin, who was strategizing. “Master Sungjin. It’s an urgent report.”


  Sungjin watched the priest ring the summoning stone as he positioned himself leisurely on his chair. “What is it?”


  “According to the information obtained by the Eyes of God, the golden king is preparing to desertize all four regions.” The Eye of God was a spy organization run by the black priest in Rupellion.

  “Desertization? What do you mean?”


  “I’ll explain.”


  After Pangnilin explained, Sungjin pressed his fingers against his temple. “He wants to ruin invasion routes by destroying his own lands? Is that possible?”


  “Yes. It’s been possible since the Green Land became a desert.”


  “So it’s not a normal occurrence. To think it wasn’t just a natural disaster but a reproducible phenomenon.” Sungjin mumbled. “Ha……This is beyond my limits to the extreme.” You are planning to burn hundreds and thousands of people, too? He knew Kapitle was a ruler who exploited all of the extras to the extremes of poverty in order to accumulate wealth.

  Zakiya smiled next to him. “Did you not know that he would annihilate millions of extras?” Only those who can do that can dominate the continent. It’s the truth. One can’t win with morals.

  “No. What I didn’t know was that he could use the Eye of Ra without you. Didn’t you say otherwise?” Sungjin’s presumption wasn’t simply because he believed Zakiya. He had thought that if Kapitle could use the Eye, he would have already used it on other countries.

  “It’s not normal, but it’s been a long time since he last tested his powers. Perhaps he set up a response magical formation that works only within his territory.”


  “Makes sense.” Sungjin nodded.

  If Kapitle could handle the Eye by his own for his goal, he would have already attacked them. Since he hadn’t, that meant he needed to prepare something special for his targets for slaughter. But if left unattended, Kapitle will make a move even if it burns and kills the extras of his territory and land. Millions of lives now depended on his choice.

  “The Eye of Ra.” Sungjin sent a piercing glance at Zakiya.

  “What is it?” Zakiya smiled lightly and put her hand on the hem of her chest.

  “Is there a way to stop its activation?”


  “If you’re going to steal it for your own use, the preparation will become too complicated.”


  “What if I just want to stop it?”


  “There is no choice but to destroy it. Fortunately, that’s possible too.”


  “Hmm?”


  “My family has a secret weapon that’s been handed down: a self-exploding enchantment.” Zakiya smiled charmingly, saying she would use her secret to do whatever Sungjin wanted. She did not bring up a word of her conversation with Kapitle. “But it also means that once you use it, you can’t use it again. A weapon that’s destroyed completely after a single touch: would you mind losing it?” It’s a waste. Zakiya smiled. A mighty power makes a mighty ruler. There couldn’t be a monarch who didn’t know the value of such a weapon, which could have more uses.

  “It’s better for it to be gone for future generations,” Sungjin declared shortly. Things like that shouldn’t exist. Later, a new war may break out. But, even then, heroes will compete against each other on the battlefield. But battles had to stop at the battlefield. If the destructive weapon landed in the hands of the wrong person, it could cause another tragedy.

  If there’s one thing I like in this world more than Earth, it’s that the civilians aren’t involved in the war. How cruel wars were on earth to its civilians, wars beyond the battlefields and soldiers, with the development of science. He would remove the forbidden weapon so no one would ever feel the temptation to use it.

  “Is that so? I understand, but you must be determined. The desert of illusion will always be a part of Kapitle’s powers. He’s probably predicting that we’ll be looking for the Eye of Ra, and we don’t know what traps he may have prepared.”


  “Possibly.”


  “But, because Kapitle doesn’t know what’s hidden in the Pyramids in the Sky, he will be wary and not approach us directly.”


  “It’s prudent to worry about a counterattack, is this it?”


  “Yes, it is.”


  “Then that prudence will become an opportunity for us.”


  “Yes. I will be your guide inside the pyramid.” Without a word of mention of Kapitle’s instructions, Zakiya smiled as if nothing had happened.

  “Good. Then I will prepare a way to infiltrate the entrance to the pyramid. ”


  “Yes, Your Majesty.”


  Sungjin stood up recklessly, saying that he wouldn’t let Kapitle kill millions of young people.

  But it might be a trap…… a lure…… His servants were concerned, but they didn’t try to stop him. It’s probably Master Sungjin’s decision after having considered all of those possibilities.

  He had a sharper mind than theirs. Of course he would have already calculated the likelihood and nevertheless planned to go. As far as this matter was concerned, the man did not budge.

  Only the results would tell if his competitive spirit would be his destruction against his greatest enemy, Kapitle, or something to his advantage.

  They could only sit by and watch.
