Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 142.1

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟒𝟐.1: 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐖𝐚𝐫 (9)

Commander Gracas von Zanen Solcrushid, the leader of the Central Military District, was advancing westward, leading a total of two field armies. The remaining field army and one corps were left behind to defend the capital.

Despite this, the Central Military District had been granted special permission by His Majesty the Emperor to incorporate the air force into its subordinate units for this expedition. As a result, they possessed one Metatron-class aerial magic carrier and three Superior-class aerial magic battleships.

While the numbers might seem insignificant, considering the power of the carrier and battleships, this was by no means an insignificant force.

In response, Oswald and the United Military District? Command had commenced their northward advance, leading two field armies and their entire air force.

‘𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘵, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 1.2 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘱𝘴? 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨.’

With its vast territory and significant development in agriculture, commerce, and industry, the population had also experienced tremendous growth.

‘𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘞𝘢𝘳. . .’

Mobilizing such a large force would have been difficult. Of course, it would have been equally challenging for the enemy to gather a comparable number of troops. . . Ultimately, the total number of personnel available to fight Chaos would have been reduced, so providing weapons during the Great War had been the right decision.

‘𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵, 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺, 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘵.’

If the main storyline of the original game had unfolded as intended, the New Continent would likely have fallen to the forces of Chaos, becoming the Chaos Continent. With the Chaos Continent as a foothold, a full-scale invasion of Century would have followed. . . ultimately leading the world to its demise.

However. . . Oswald had already thwarted the enemy’s plans multiple times and stolen their weapons, weakening their forces more than anticipated.

‘𝘖𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺, 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘥𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘰𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘴. . .’

The Empire was embroiled in a civil war, leaving them unable to do anything but watch as the elven continent confronted Chaos. The fall of the Elondil Empire and the Saharan Empire resulted in the destruction of half of the Gigas Continent.

Fortunately, the wood elf empire of Orion had managed to halt the enemy’s advance through guerrilla warfare in their jungles. Otherwise, with the entire Gigas Continent fallen, the western part of the Titan Continent would have been left to face the enemy’s offensive alone.

‘𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘯𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴. 𝘚𝘰, 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘭 𝘸𝘢𝘳.’

If necessary, Oswald was even considering flying over and personally eliminating Douglas. However, due to his royal status, he had refrained from doing so for now. . . But if the situation worsened, he was prepared to disregard Douglas’s royal lineage, kill him, and secure the surrender of the remaining troops to end the civil war.

‘𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦. . . 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘈𝘳𝘸𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩. . . 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥, 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯. . .’

His father, Wilhelm, and the Eastern Lords’ Coalition had been relentlessly driving back the Northern Military District forces, forcing them to retreat to Riga City.

‘𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘥. . . 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘱𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦. . .’

They were seasoned soldiers, having been tempered through numerous local conflicts, and they had to contend with monsters descending from the Dragon Spine Mountains in the east, making them inevitably strong.

Moreover, most of the mercenaries were concentrated in territories adjacent to the Dragon Spine Mountains, allowing them to leave their posts without much concern, leaving only a minimal force for maintaining order. They could simply hire mercenaries to handle the subjugation of the mountain range, ensuring their safety for a while.

While his United Military District? Command was traversing the Pyrenees Mountains, the troops he had sent via the transport fleet would have landed on the northern shores of Nantes and Normandy. Oswald had dispatched one corps to each location.

‘𝘌𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘙𝘰𝘺𝘮𝘢𝘯, 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵.’

Royman, who had been forced to retreat due to the 3rd Prince’s aerial magic battleship, was preparing to confront him with gritted teeth.

‘𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘐 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵, 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘫𝘰𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘙𝘰𝘺𝘮𝘢𝘯. . . 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘸𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘺. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘭.’

Meanwhile, the citizens of Paris, upon hearing the news of the approaching Iberian United Military District? and Central Military District punitive forces, decided that they couldn’t simply sit back and wait for the rebels to retreat.

If things went wrong, they could be caught in the crossfire, not only risking the destruction of their homes but also their lives.

In response, the councilors of the Paris City Council held a secret meeting and planned a collective uprising. During the Empire’s Unification War, the regular troops of Britannia had suffered a swift defeat, leading to their rapid disintegration. As they disbanded, they took their weapons with them, resulting in a proliferation of firearms among the populace.

Fortunately, these were Piper series firearms manufactured by the Revolver family, so under imperial law, as long as they were registered with the Sword and accompanied by a firearm ownership certificate with a unique serial number, they could be legally carried. Of course, there was a firearm tax associated with firearm ownership, so not everyone carried a gun.

In any case, there were still many Britannian remnants in Paris, and some citizens possessed firearms out of necessity for their livelihoods.

“There are still many former members of the Britannia regular army among the citizens,”

“Most of them have left for the east to work as mercenaries, but a significant number remain.”

At that moment, the Sword superintendent discreetly presented a list of firearm owners that he had brought from the Sword Paris Branch.

“Among them, there are approximately 40,000 individuals currently residing in Paris. We have identified the locations of around 30,000. . . This is a sufficient number to stage an internal uprising.”

“The problem is how to contact and gather them.”

In response, the Sword superintendent offered a solution.

“Use the sewers. By utilizing the sewers, we can avoid the enemy’s gaze. While there are patrol units in the sewers, they are Sword officers, so I can handle them.”

“Superintendent Levallois, we are truly benefiting from your assistance.”

“Isn’t this for the sake of our Paris?”
