I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

322. Demon Dragon Subjugation Battle (3)

“Welcome.”

“Has something happened already?”

“That’s not true. It’s just that… I have something to tell you.”

Principal Merlin said that and placed a small box in front of me.

“This is…”

“I don’t know how helpful it will be, but I have been scraping up all the mithril that is available on the market.”

“No, it’s this precious…”

You scraped up all the mithril? If the price of mithril is not a penny or two, but the amount of a box that can fit a gold bar…Is this a waste of the academy’s budget?

When I looked at him with doubt, Principal Merlin smiled and answered my question.

“This old man saved his money his frugally. “How long do you think you will save money, no matter how long you have left to live?”

“Principal…”

“Hehe, don’t be impressed. Isn’t this all investment? Anyway, if I can’t stop the demon dragon, the academy and everything else will be over, so the best I can do is to increase my chances even a little.”

“Aren’t you participating in the war?”

“Of course I plan to do it. In the meantime, the faculty and student council will protect the remaining students at the academy and their families.”

Does that happen as expected?

Unlike the original work, where the seal was suddenly released and chaos ensued, the subjugation was carried out under the thorough preparation of the imperial family, so it was running much more stably.

Because in the original work, the village near the volcano where the demon dragon was resurrected was literally destroyed. Just looking at the casualties, hundreds of thousands of people would have disappeared.

It was fortunate that such a situation could be prevented in advance.

Even if you are a stranger, dying is a bitter taste.

“I will use Mithril well. “It will help me make a weapon to kill the demon dragon.”

“It’s a weapon to kill the demon dragon… Are you trying to recreate the dragon slayer that was only told in legend?”

“It’s an improved version of that. If possible, I would like to make all soldiers’ weapons dragon slayer, but I don’t have enough time and budget to do so, so I can only make two or three.”

“…Being able to create multiple Dragon Slayers is a great thing in itself.”

I wrote it in the original to the point of exhaustion, and I’ve been analyzing it here for almost a year, so I’m trying to make it somehow. The imperial family didn’t even know that the Dragon Slayer’s fragment was in their warehouse.

Just looking at the outside, it’s a strange-looking piece of metal, so it’s only natural…

“As soon as the Demon Dragon wakes up, I plan to smash the Dragon Slayer in the head. No matter how dragon it is, it will hurt if a dragon slayer sticks in its head.”

I don’t want instant death, I want to get seriously injured.

That’s because I’m a dragon slayer.

“I hope it ends without any damage…”

There’s no way that’s possible… But if possible, we should make it happen. Because it is the original knowledge for that purpose. I picked up the box and stood up.

“Principal. I’m going to go use this mithril first. If you see anything, please contact us through Milia.”

“I understand. Then go back.”

A mithril monster. I received a truly valuable gift. I left the principal’s office thinking about how to use this mithril.

————————-

“What is the condition of the seal?”

“Your Highness Killian! The seal is currently quiet, but it is breaking little by little!”

“Is the demon dragon about to wake up? “

Prince Killian looked at the volcano with worried eyes. If the demon dragon awakens, the damage will be enormous. If the demon dragon had been allowed to escape the volcano, the empire, or even the entire continent, could have been engulfed in flames.

It was not an ordinary dragon, but a demonic dragon that was unusually strong among dragons, so it could have been possible.

‘The evacuation is almost over…But perhaps we may have to postpone the planned evacuation location to a later date.’

The information about the demon dragon was only information from hundreds of years ago, so it was impossible to accurately estimate the damage that would occur when the demon dragon actually awakened.

For now, everyone within a 100 km radius was evacuated, but if the demon dragon starts running rampant, it may easily cross even 100 km.

However, this was not a problem he could decide on his own.

‘I should make a suggestion during the meeting.’

It will consume manpower, but subjugating the demon dragon is a battle that requires quality rather than quantity, so it doesn’t matter if regular soldiers take a position in the rear.

Having experienced the atmosphere of uncertainty in conference rooms many times, he assumed that his opinion would receive some sympathy.

“Then I will go back.”

“Yes! Majesty! Take a look!”

He left the barracks after being seen off by the wizards. The next destination is a barracks where elites selected from across the continent are gathered. In fact, it was necessary to become somewhat familiar with the warriors who would be the core personnel of this subjugation.

Even though he did not participate in the battle, as he was the commander after all, he could promise compensation to those who risked their lives to battle the demon dragon.

“Lord Carlinz.”

“Your Highness Killian, are you here?”

“These people…”

“You’re right. “They are warriors of outstanding skill from all over the continent.”

Prince Killian scanned the warriors spread out around the barracks with his own two eyes. From young people to old people. In the battle, warriors with outstanding prayers that even Prince Kilian, who was almost a layman, could feel, were gathered in one place.

‘That’s amazing. Is that person Haakon, the so-called master of the great sword? That person is Ulan, the master of spearmanship…Influential people have gathered in one place.’

“A great group of people have gathered.”

“That’s right. Warriors gathered from all over after hearing the news that they could fight the demon dragon. Each and every one of them is a hundred warriors. It will help us subdue the demon dragon.”

‘I don’t think it can cause significant damage, but it’s better than nothing.’

In the end, the only thing that could cause significant damage to the demon dragon was the Dragon Slayer or equivalent weapon, and the rest were merely used to distract the demon dragon’s attention.

Nevertheless, the reason so many talented people came was to gain the honor of fighting the demon dragon, to protect their hometown, and to fight a powerful enemy.

“Your Highness Killian, if you have anything to say, I will gather everyone.”

“Good.”

Sir Kalintz immediately summoned the warriors in a loud voice, just as he had done during his days as the Knight Commander.

Although they are free-spirited warriors, they began to gather one by one in the wide open space between the barracks when they were called by Kalintz, the former commander of the Imperial Knights, whom no one on the continent knew.

Geren, who was standing at the front among the dogs, asked Kalintz a question with a grumpy expression.

“Okay? What. What’s going on?”

“His Highness Killian has come to visit.”

“Yes? “Is this your Highness Killian?”

“Be polite to Your Majesty. Geren.”

“I live in the mountains, so I don’t know manners.”

Geren, who had abandoned common sense a long time ago, blurted out the words with a sour expression on his face. Kalinz’s beard trembled at the sight of him being rude in front of the second prince, but Prince Killian didn’t care and spoke to Guerin.

“Are you Gwonseong Geren?”

“That’s right. “I didn’t learn much, but this old guy told me that a demon dragon would wake up, so I came running right away.”

“Geren, can you please be polite?”

“I’ve never had anything like that in my life, so I don’t know!”

A wrinkle appeared on Kalinz’s face. Geren laughed cheerfully, whether she knew it or not.

Haha! “It’s worth taking a look at your face!”

Kalinz sighed deeply. It was foolish to hope to communicate with someone who couldn’t communicate, so it would be better to introduce him to other warriors.

“Your Highness Killian, please ignore Geren and talk to the other warriors-“

It was then.

A tremor shook the ground so much that everyone lost their balance and stumbled. Naturally, everyone’s eyes turned to the volcano. Unlike before, the black pillar, which was a dormant volcano, was visible to be slowly leaking red liquid.

“Lord Carlinz!”

“I think I need to check the seal!”

“Oh! It’s a demon dragon!”

Geren looked at the volcano with a face full of joy. As a natural combat fanatic with zero social skills, he was so happy to see the terrifying presence of the volcano that he almost went crazy.

“Everyone, get ready to fight!”

“Are you really waking up?”

“This suddenly?”

“God.”

“I wonder if my spear can reach the demon dragon.”

The warriors held their weapons and looked at the volcano. Prince Killian, who was staring blankly at the scene, turned his gaze to Lord Kalinz.

He spoke to Prince Killian with a stern face.

“Majesty. Please go to the rear. “I will…Call him.”

The core of this battle.

And the hope of the empire.

Whether he can come before the seal is broken will be an important turning point.

Kalinz filled his toes with mana and kicked the ground.

To call the best forces of the imperial army to the volcano.
