487 Abundant x sacrifice (6)
After confirming the battle, Harwick looked at the Duke and said.
"I've never heard that those who lose on the battlefield blame the enemy for not cooperating. You've fought before, but at that time, did you blame the enemy for not cooperating with you? ”
The Duke did not answer immediately.
"As a leader, you failed to properly assess the situation on the battlefield and lead them to victory, resulting in their senseless deaths."
"That's because I thought you were still part of the kingdom!"
The Duke shouted. This time, there was no phantom on his sword. "You're so desperate to destroy everything! I didn't think of this, can it be considered a mistake? ”
"Of course!" Halwick said confidently. "Aren't we enemies? Isn't it normal for --- enemy to do whatever he does? ”
The Duke was silent for a moment. "What exactly do you want?"
"Guess?" Halwick asked rhetorically.
"I don't know." The Duke said. "If you want power, you should have agreed to my terms before--- even if you are not satisfied with those conditions, you can negotiate. If you wanted more power, I would have made some concessions, but you simply refused. ”
"Yes, it's not this, guess again." Halwick said.
"I have also imagined that you are truly selfless, and that everything you do is for the sake of the whole kingdom, for the sake of all the people, and for the sake of saving everyone...," said the duke.
"If this is the case, then I will let you plunder, manage, and command without any resistance." Halwick said. "You're actually expecting me to be like that, aren't you?"
"Later, I imagine you being a pure magician." The Duke said. "All I care about is research, it's just something that is within the scope of magical experiments, and I don't care about anything else. For a long time, this was also the unanimous opinion of the nobles about you. ”
"Even if I had given the order to resist you, many of you would have thought so." Halwick said. "That's why you used that attack, and then sent Joey, who was unconscious, along with a few other people who were killed---- so I could study it, right?"
"However, it turns out that you are not a pure magician either." The Duke looked at Halwick. "While you've had a lot of success, you're not putting all your attention into the study of magic. Otherwise, you would have died in the means I had prepared. ”
"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Halwick said simply.
"If you want to be Prime Minister, then, after defeating a few nobles, just show this ability to destroy castles, and some people will give in to you," said the Duke. "What you want, it's not power---- what do you want to do?"
"Anyway, there must be a reason." Halwick said. "What exactly, guess?"
"There's another possibility." The Duke said. "You're a little person at all, and although you've had some successful experiments, you're not really thinking about anything in the process, you're just acting randomly."
"The success of those experiments was nothing more than a coincidence. And the explosion of the castle was not caused by you, but for some other reason..."
"Maybe, that's really the case." Halwick said. "Before, you didn't guess that something would happen to the castle, and as a result, the entire army was destroyed. This time, you can guess again, what is my purpose? What is the truth? If you're wrong, you may not even be able to save your own life. ”
"I don't think it's a good idea to guess." The Duke said. "It's better to catch you and force you to tell you."
"Hahaha!" Harwick laughed. "If you think it's possible, you can give it a try."
"Hehehe." The Duke laughed too. "For half a day, you're asking, I'm guessing. So why should I cooperate with you, do you think? ”
This time, as soon as his words fell, a virtual image of an officer appeared next to Halwick. The vanity was unarmed, holding a huge shield in both hands, and slammed it down on Halwick.
Halwick was knocked to the ground again, this time, as he fell, with bits and pieces of light escaping from his body.
"To buy time, of course." The Duke said as he walked towards Halwick's place. "Give my men a chance to infiltrate you."
At the end of Harwick, another officer's virtual --- also holding a large shield smashed into the professor's body.
This attack did not cause any harm to the bones in Harwick's body, but when it hit, many fragments of light escaped from Harwick's body again--- much like magic.
"They're so loyal to you." Halwick, who fell to the ground, reluctantly said.
"Of course!" The Duke said. "Do you think that if you stir up a few random words, they will betray? And they're not fools! ”
"You know what? Your escape is entirely within my plan. The first mage of the dignified mage group, if he can't even do this, it will disappoint me too much. ”
"When you were spying on me, why didn't I spy on you? Isn't what you used to escape, what you used to recover, and what you used to form this outfit and this wand all that you later used to form this outfit and this wand? ”
"Okay, then we'll destroy and disintegrate the magic on you through continuous attacks. Even if the magic power in your body is huge, I think there will be an end to it. ”
As he said this, the duke appeared next to him with the image of a third officer, still striking Harwick with his shield.
This time, a faint golden light floated around Halwick. Then, when the shield hit him, the golden light lasted for a while, and with a 'bang', it dispersed. But after that, not much magic escaped from him.
"Come out." The duke, who was not far away, said. "Work harder, try to kill him."
As soon as his words fell, four more phantoms appeared around Halwick--- this time, dressed as soldiers, they were not armed with weapons, and they were holding shields in both hands.
After these virtual images appeared, they took action. They worked well with each other, striking Harwick from all directions with their shields in succession. The Great Magician, like a bouncy ball, tossed up and down in their blows, without stopping for a moment.
