Chapter 228: The Siege
In that place, where six court mages had once conducted research and held meetings, there was now a woman.
After observing the training ground, they continued walking down the corridor.
They were heading toward the mages’ laboratory.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
She had pointed ears and dark skin, but that did nothing to diminish her beauty.
Her name was Linne.
She belonged to the race once known as the Dark Elves, and now she was the last of them.
“Have you arrived?”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“You created the Traumas exactly as I wanted. agent You have my thanks.”
“Traumas……?”
The woman who had previously been known as the Director of the Research Institute.
At Curved Demon’s praise, Linne looked puzzled.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“Names that are too obvious aren’t any fun, are they? anchor The interesting thing about a name is what people eventually end up calling it. antique Trauma. album Doesn’t it sound good?”
“Those masses covered in eyes.”
“But I already named them Mental Jammers……”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
She let the matter pass and continued with her report.
Linne did not care what they were called.
“I suppose so.”
“With the materials you provided, we managed to mass-produce 525 Knight-Class demons. armor They are currently awaiting orders.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
It was not a particularly large number.
A smile appeared on Curved Demon’s face.
“525……”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
But were they really just ordinary Knight-Class demons?
There were 525 of them, yes, but those 525 were not the same as any other 525.
They were demons blessed by Legion, a land where all lives existed under the principle that they were equal.
Even with a force of that size, if an army of one hundred thousand soldiers descended upon them, they would inevitably be crushed.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“However, there is an anomaly……”
If they managed to catch the army of one hundred thousand men by surprise, annihilating it would not be difficult at all.
They possessed dozens of hearts and dozens of heads. arena No matter how many times they died, they could rise again and return to the battlefield.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“If you mean that man……”
“There is one person who continues to stubbornly resist the blood.”
Linne glanced at the King of Heinkel.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“According to Heinkel, he is his friend.”
Despite declaring that they would fight until the last one of them died, the overwhelming difference in power quickly shattered their will to fight.
Perry Yurei.
He had arrived at the head of an army of more than ten thousand men, but naturally, he had suffered a crushing defeat.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
And it only took two minutes for them to disappear.
The remaining eight thousand became citizens of the Heinkel Kingdom.
They lost two thousand men.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
All except one.
“How strange. harbor What is usually done when something like this happens?”
“It is unusual, but there is no need to obsess over a single individual. absorb As an organism, he is no different from a second-rate knight, so at most he could become a Knight-Class demon. artist It would be better to expose him to Trauma until he breaks, or simply kill him……”
Curved Demon stroked his chin. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

The King of Heinkel reacted immediately.
“Perry…… must see what I am seeing. echo And for that, he must remain alive.”
“That cannot be done.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“I already have enough work with what I am doing. crystal Do I also have to indulge that whim of yours?”
“It must be done. legend Yurei is my friend.”
Linne frowned and glared at him.
“How insolent. acoustic And you are nothing more than a human.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“Do not take me for a fool. crystal I know you are different from the demons created here. attic You are neither a demon nor an elf. abandon You are nothing more than an existence miserably clinging to life in order to survive.”
“That is nothing more than obsession. alien You have that kind of attachment because you have not walked the path of demons.”
“But you are not truly a demon either, are you?”
The King of Heinkel’s empty eyes pierced through Linne.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“Do you want to fight me? Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. ability It seems becoming an Archmage has given you too much confidence.”
“That is enough.”
After organizing his thoughts, he addressed Linne.
Curved Demon intervened with a faint smile.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“Yes.”
“Linne.”
“Let me make one thing clear. adapt Keep that man named Yurei alive no matter what happens. atomic And continue working to turn him into a demon.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“That is an order.”
Curved Demon brought his index finger to his lips, making it clear that he would say nothing more.
“Understood.”
“That is…… far too inefficient. arena If you truly want to do something like that, we will have no choice but to use the Mental Jammer… no, Trauma, to break him……”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
A doubt she should have let pass.
“Then I will ask you to keep working a little harder. athlete They will not take much longer to attack either.”
A doubt had arisen in Linne’s mind as she watched his back.
“Lord Curved Demon.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Curved Demon did not answer.
But in the end, she asked him anyway.
“I…… am I still useful?”
Linne’s clenched fist began to tremble.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
He simply left the place.
In the end, Linne’s question merely echoed into the emptiness before disappearing.
Nor did he give her any sign that could serve as an answer.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Finally, they received their answer.
Since she had used magic of extraordinary destructive power, both the allied forces and the imperial army had gathered at the Empire’s outpost and were waiting to learn what would be done with her.
***
Everyone watched as Erdes, President of the Magic Association, was taken away by the Tower Master of the Blue Eyes.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“Have you lost your mind, Regent!?”
Perda sat at the table with those who had just learned the outcome.
Perda felt as though he had gone through something very similar only a few hours earlier.
Ureas shouted at the top of his lungs.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Perda calmly explained what had happened.
“There was no other choice.”
The only difference was that this time, Ureas was not the only one furious.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“Tower Master Lorga learned what happened, came here personally, and requested that Erdes be placed in her custody.”

“And you just handed her over because of that!?”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
The other kings seized the opportunity to pressure Perda as well.
“The President of the Magic Association caused enormous damage to our outpost with what she did!”
They were all looking for some way to profit from the incident.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Ureas’s brain, in other words, Olivia, intervened with a question.
“Do you truly think so?”
“How about leaving the diplomatic issues for later and focusing on the problem in front of us? canvas Let us deal with the demons first. ability Afterward, we can determine responsibility. admire At this moment, that is the best option.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Olivia was also glaring at him as she joined those pressuring him.
“What benefit does the Empire gain from releasing a criminal who, acting on her own, nearly destroyed half of our forces?” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
It was something Perda had not expected.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Perda observed her with a slightly puzzled expression.
Olivia continued.
Why was she doing that?
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“I am certain you know that the President of the Magic Association is allied with the Crown Prince. avalanche Can you assure us that you are not trying to play both sides between Alexander and us?”
Olivia was deliberately pointing out a suspicion that would have arisen sooner or later, pretending to keep Perda under control.
A hypothesis arose in Perda’s mind.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
One only had to look at those satisfied eyes.
And if he had to find a reason for her doing so, it was undoubtedly related to Ureas.
He was delighted that his sister had taken his side.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Olivia would never side with Ureas, even if she someday came to betray them.
“Nothing of the sort will happen. armor The Crown Prince intends to put pressure on the Far East. apron What glory could I gain by swearing loyalty to him?”
But Perda knew.
Perda decided to play along.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Olivia’s gaze was fierce.
“Then I am telling you not to do anything unnecessary. anchor I do not know what great cause you are pursuing, Regent Perda, but if you continue acting this way, our Empire will have no choice but to question both the support it provides you and the autonomy of your territory.”
Perda was sincerely grateful that she was not his enemy.
The pressure emanating from her was enough to crush even the impulse to answer back.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“That is not what I mean.”
Olivia, seemingly frustrated, spoke directly to Perda.
“The President of the Magic Association will not be able to evade responsibility for what happened. alpha Furthermore, because of her sudden intervention, her insults, and her use of magic that was not part of any plan and ultimately caused damage to our own forces, I obtained her promise that she will not intervene again until this matter is over. armor If you also believe it necessary to hold her accountable, you may do so through the Grand Council.”
He continued explaining himself.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“That would be the proper course, but……”
Olivia raised her voice as though she found the idea inconceivable.
“That cannot be! atlas Would it not be more appropriate to force her to apologize for acting on her own and make her participate in this war to reinforce our forces?”
“Demons are involved in this conflict, and demonic magic is involved as well. atom And yet the way you intend to hold the President of the Magic Association accountable is by removing her from the war?”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“There is no need to go that far, Sister.”
The kings’ faces immediately took on uneasy expressions.
The one who contradicted those words was Ureas.
The satisfaction he had displayed until moments ago had been replaced by bewilderment.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“To begin with, the President of the Association acted on her own. arrow And we believe we are perfectly capable of handling this even without her intervention.”
Olivia discreetly glanced toward Perda.
“But if a force of such magnitude exists, would it not be proper to mobilize it through the Grand Council, even if it does not specifically involve the President of the Magic Association?”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
She was signaling him to play along, but it was difficult to know exactly what answer she expected from him.

Perda decided to take a chance.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Perda continued.
“No.”
It seemed he had guessed correctly.
Olivia showed such a faint smile that only Perda could notice it.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“Exactly!”
“Regent Perda is right this time.” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
“I believe that, in this case, it would be better to continue with the current plan rather than allow the arrogant Magic Association to participate and create confusion in our strategy.”
“I do not understand how you can reach such a conclusion when we are facing a place infested with demons……”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Olivia muttered those words with apparent disappointment.
“Are you finished with your emotional arguments?”
The voices that had been criticizing Perda lost their momentum, and Hurdret naturally changed the subject.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“We can discuss the release of the President of the Association later. antenna For now, let us focus on the problem in front of us.”
“The President of the Magic Association has already decided not to intervene. sphere What about the dragons? sphere Did they not say what they intend to do?”
Throughout that entire shouting match, he had not said a single word.
He tapped the table several times with one finger.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Perda answered.
“I specifically asked Tower Master Lorga about that. aluminum She believes that we humans are capable of resolving this problem and expressed her intention not to intervene unless necessary.”
The enemy had demonstrated that they possessed far greater power than expected, so there was now even a possibility that the dragons might intervene.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“Then, if we will not have the dragons either, that means we can continue with the operation as it was communicated to us.”
Hurdret stood up, and the other kings prepared to do the same.
“Then there is nothing more to discuss. ability We can return.”
“That is correct.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
There was a ferocity about him befitting the true leader of a wolf pack.
“Tower Master Lorga left me with important information before departing.”
“What?”
“There is still something we need to discuss.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
And also that inside that place, they might be continuously producing large numbers of mages with Red Circles.
What kind of explosion the King of Heian’s infiltrator had caused.
He explained how Curved Demon had managed to stop Erdes’s attack by himself and even counterattack.
Perda told them about the conversation he had held with Erika and Erdes.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“So they stimulate emotions to mass-produce mages with Red Circles and then use them as sources of mana……”
“We already suspected that this magic called Legion would be troublesome, but combined with the demons’ schemes, it has far exceeded our expectations.”
“Then that is why that Curved Demon was able to stop such an attack by himself.”
Everyone stared in astonishment at the method the demons had used to stop the strongest magic of the strongest mage on the continent.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Hurdret added.
Perda took advantage of the atmosphere to raise an issue.
“Now that we have new information, I believe it is necessary to modify our strategy.”
“Yes, we will have to modify it.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“Instead of remaining grouped together, we would have to spread out as much as possible.”
“Let us think of it simply. attic Imagine that what we are facing is not an ordinary castle, but a giant. silence A giant named Heinkel capable of using magic. adjust Now imagine that we are germs entering that giant’s body. athlete What should we do to bring it down?”
“We need to attack much more boldly.”
“What do you mean by more boldly?”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
That meant that if they killed those loyal to him, the king’s power should also weaken. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Legion, Gamigin’s magic, obtained the loyalty of every being within its territory and converted it into absolute power.
Based on those assumptions, the most effective strategy was to leave no survivors.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Hurdret, who seemed to have become excited by the conversation, clicked his tongue.
“If we spread out even further to attack…… would that not be dangerous?”
In fact, the original plan had already been moving in that direction.
“The King of Heinkel will send the inhabitants of his kingdom to their deaths to keep himself alive. antique And we already understand that we cannot give him any opportunity. arctic If we do not intend to leave survivors, we must act quickly, spread out widely, and mercilessly cut off his sources of power.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
The man who had asked only managed to embarrass himself.
“Did you come to war thinking this was a children’s game? atom What kind of question is that?”
Although there was not much to plan.
“Let us work on the strategy a little more.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“I think it is a good idea.”
“The full-scale attack will begin in three days. agent Until then, let us keep sending them a few gifts with the siege weapons to wear down their forces. crystal What do you think, Second Prince?”
They had barely gotten close enough to strike the gates of the outer wall. orbit They had no information about what tactics the enemy would use or how many troops were inside the inner castle.
They could only establish a general plan and trust that each unit would know how to adapt to the circumstances.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
They exchanged greetings out of courtesy and left the command post.
Hurdret, leader of the allied forces, rose from his seat, and all the other kings did the same.
“Then, if no one has any objections, let us end things here.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“Who would have imagined that we would have the opportunity to meet the Princess on a battlefield like this?”
“It has been an honor to meet you.”
Nor did they forget to bid farewell to Olivia.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Finally, Hurdret stopped in front of her.
Olivia also greeted them one by one with a kind smile.
After so much tension, the presence of something gentle seemed to restore the kings’ youth, and they smiled cheerfully.
“I hope that next time we can see you in a banquet hall as the flower of a celebration, rather than the flower of the battlefield.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
“Excuse me?”
“I hope you return safely as well, King Hurdret.”
“Unfortunately, I am already taken. orbit No matter how much charm you exude, I will not fall for you so easily.”
“You do not need to try so hard.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Olivia put on a hurt expression.
Hurdret smiled as though even that seemed adorable to him, then turned around.
“My, why would you say something like that?”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Perda could not help but consider him a truly peculiar man.
‘He is faithful to his instincts, and yet at the same time, he seems not to be.’
As he watched his back, Perda could not help but think that the man was difficult to understand.
A wild man, and at the same time, a rational one.
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
Two days before the full-scale attack.
A dark-skinned woman named Garnet entered Perda’s tent.

“I have come to present my report.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
In addition to being the leader of the Merchant Guild, she belonged to the upper class of citizens and, during this expedition, held the position of supply officer.
Her true mission was to act, together with her subordinates, as a liaison for transmitting information about the situation of the allied forces and the imperial army.
Of course, that was nothing more than a cover.
“The twenty trebuchets deployed among the allied forces and the imperial army began bombarding with projectiles today.”
Translation of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 228: The Siege by Indra Translations.
The siege of the Heinkel Kingdom had officially begun.
