Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage Chapter 1143

Chapter 1143

How unbearable! How unbearable! How unbearable!
Ludwig XII was pacing back and forth in his study like a crazed ant, his hair turning white at a visible speed.
The emperor of the grandest nation in the continent, reduced to seeking help from his niece, Queen Sia.
The Leviathan Empire, a group of rebellious individuals who split from the Sia Kingdom!
Ludwig the First, the founding emperor and the greatest knight in the continent, had sworn never to bow to the Sia royal family in his lifetime.
In his generation, they were one step away from annihilating the Sia royal family. Their armies were right at the gates of the Sia capital, and they had even arranged the time for the surrendering insiders to open the city gates.
He held a personal grudge against the former king of the Sia Kingdom, but he didn't actually dislike Queen SiaAin herself.
When Ain came to study at the Royal Academy in the capital of the Leviathan Empire, he visited her several times and could faintly see traces of his first love in her face.
The reason why the Leviathan Empire wants to invade the Sia Kingdom has nothing to do with any personal grudge between their emperor and the Sia king.
Even though that darn guy married the girl he loved the most in the world, he only secretly roared in anger a few times.
"Damn sis-con!"
As for himself, he was actually a very gentlemanly person.
The one who decided to invade the Leviathan Empire was actually his teacher, who was currently the Imperial Sage Poincar.
The part of the ancestral emperor's diary that contained information about the divine era tower sparked an unprecedented interest in the imperial sage.
Only by obtaining those gemstones can the empire build the strongest magic armor and even create Poincar's ideal and most powerful titled machine.
That would be a power comparable to a "legend." The current Black Overlord is only an experimental model of that perfect titled machine, still far from the power of legends.
It must be said that Ludwig XII was tempted because Imperial Sage Poincar's calculations have never been wrong, and the distance between his [Field] and ordinary people is like that of a monkey and a wise man.
Poincar's calculations helped the Leviathan Empire to embark on the path of science.
The imperial sage never made mistakes, and some even confidently claimed that his eyes could see the future.
If Poincar had not been born in this era of declining magic, he would surely have been one of the most powerful red-robed mages dominating the continent.
His achievements in the study of magic armor far surpassed the peak reached in the divine era.
Even in the case of the failed nuclear explosion experiment, he was confident that he could replicate it as long as he had enough materials.
Therefore, Poincar has always maintained that it is impossible for Queen Sia to use a nuclear explosion forbidden spell.
Even if someone can truly use a nuclear explosion forbidden spell, it definitely wouldn't be Queen Sia. The power of a nuclear explosion is not something modern humans can control.
He repeatedly used calculations to tell Ludwig XII that the so-called nuclear explosion forbidden spell is simply an invalid topic.
Even the group of red-robed mages who stood at the pinnacle of the continent during the divine era had no knowledge of the nuclear explosion forbidden spell.
Nuclear explosion is a dangerous experiment that is not fully developed. It killed many unfortunate people wearing red robes, which was considered forbidden.
There is no such thing as a nuclear explosion forbidden spell. It was the result of the red robes going too far in their actions.
"Are there really no other options besides this method?" asked Ludwig XII, a talented and strategic ruler, unable to bring himself to ask his niece, Queen Sia, for help.
Not to mention, he had almost conquered Sia Kingdom not long ago, indirectly causing the death of the former King of Sia, who was once his close friend, and the Queen, his first love.
"This is the best method," said Poincar. He never questioned the process, only cared about seeing the results of his calculations.
Invading Sia Kingdom was a necessary step for the Leviathan Empire, just like the steps needed to solve an equation.
Mathematicians don't need to consider politics or emotions. They only focus on right and wrong, and whether something is true.
In the world of mathematics, there is only the purest truth. All the advice he gave Ludwig XII was based on this truth.
"I understand..." sighed Ludwig XII.
It won't change, his teacher and Imperial Sage Poincar's calculations are always accurate and not compassionate.
Apart from the incident with the nuclear explosion forbidden spell, including the attack intentions, tactical directions of the ancient weapons in the Underground Cemetery, Poincar figured it all out clearly, even the method to defeat the ancient weapons was so simple and easy to understand.
Cut off the enemy's source of power, then overpower them with equal force.
It's as direct, simple, and perfect as one plus one equals two in the world of mathematics.
However, the process to achieve this result required countless lives to be sacrificed, making the entire empire run like a huge machine.
This machine called "science" is the most powerful weapon created by the alchemist warlocks led by Poincar and Asmid for the Leviathan Empire. It's also the foundation that allowed the Leviathan Empire to become the strongest country on the continent.
At this point, there is simply no way to stop.
Even as the emperor of the empire, he has long been tied to this war vehicle called "science," driven by the will of the entire empire, and can only keep moving forward.
Science allows for failures, but it absolutely doesn't allow for retreat.
The noble folks who long for victory, the people who have absolute confidence in the Empire, and the scholars and alchemist warlocks who put everything on the path of science, all of them together, have made the Leviathan Empire what it is today.
If the Empire loses this will and spirit, it will collapse and be defeated completely.
When Ludwig XII drew back the curtains of his study, he saw the magic army legions inside the royal city, undergoing rest and replenishing their new equipment.
Many of their members were severely injured in the battle against the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast, and some even lost their limbs. They were now getting temporary mechanical limbs created by the alchemist warlocks who were working tirelessly.
Many clenched their teeth in anger, some drank heavily, and quite a few cursed aloud.
But no one shed tears. They still believed in their emperor and Imperial Sage Poincar, knowing they would bring them victory.
The Empire's morale remained high, and the spirit of determination stayed strong. Even though this was the largest defeat the Leviathan Empire had ever suffered since entering the era of science, these knights of steel remained the Empire's knights.
Leviathan Empire has not yet lost!
