Chapter 387 Ambitious Family
"How could it be possible... that His Majesty... would treat his country's people like this?"
Everyone's emotions collapsed again.
Kira turned to look at Jura: "Did you hear that? It seems that the king knows about this."
Jura was silent.
Princess Emerald was furious: "How heartless! Is this what it means to be a king?!"
"Yes, he is such a heartless person! Are you sad? Are you disappointed?"
As if someone had said the same thing as her, the Chancellor of the Exchequer opened his arms and could not stop mocking, "Don't worry! You won't see him soon!"
"That blind guy actually naively believed that my orc army was just wild beasts that only obeyed orders and fought crazily. He turned his attention to some technological weapons. There is no need to keep such an idiot!"
As soon as the Chancellor of the Exchequer said this, everyone vaguely understood his ambition.
Kira slowly complained to Jura: "Well, the king probably doesn't know about this..."
"What on earth do you want to do, you guy?!"
"What are you doing? Hehehe..." He sneered and boasted to the captives, "Soon, a wizard ranked among the 'Holy Ten' will become your companion! He will be my strongest subordinate in the future. With his help, I can become the king of Bosk without any effort!!"
Kira whispered and smiled teasingly: "Hey~Jula-san, he is talking about you, right?"
Jura scratched his bald head awkwardly: "Kira-san, you don't have to keep reminding me, I will take revenge myself later!"
The words of the Finance Minister caused the captives below to exclaim: "What?! Even the 'Ten Holy Wizards'... Aren't you afraid of attracting a blow from the Council of Judges by doing this?!"
"What the hell is the Council? How dare they interfere in the affairs of our kingdom? Not only do I have the 'Ten Holy Wizards', I also have the Princess of Fiore in my hands. With this hostage, even Fiore Kingdom won't dare to do anything to us!"
Kira-sang turned his gaze to Emerald again, and the other's face immediately flushed with embarrassment: "I know, you are talking about me! There is no need to remind me again, Kira-san!"
"Hahaha... well... you have a really good memory!"
The Finance Minister's voice came again: "By the way, aren't there guards here sent by the Kingdom of Fiore to protect the princess? Let's start with you!"
Princess Emerald could no longer hold back: "Oh no! They are in danger!"
"I know, so it's time to attack!" Kira rubbed his hands, "Jiula-san, I'll attract attention, and you'll be responsible for saving people!"
Jola's eyes narrowed, his mind focused, and he entered a state of preparation: "I understand!"
"On the count of three, we'll start... I'm talking about me and Jura-san, Your Highness, just stay here! Three!"
Without any hesitation, Kira lifted his invisibility cloak and rushed out like an eagle!
"What?! Who is it?!" The Minister of Finance saw a dark shadow coming towards him and wanted to resist, but he was unable to react in time.
"Gravity Field Hell!!"
With a loud shout, Kira punched the ground with all his might. A huge amount of magic power exploded, and the ground cracked instantly, then spread to the stone pillars, walls, and ceiling...
Boom!!!
There was a sudden loud noise in the orc town. The castle in the center of the town, which symbolized the identity of the owner and was the holy place used for the transformation ritual, collapsed under a huge force from an unknown source!
This movement attracted the attention of all the orcs. After a brief pause, they swarmed over like birds returning to their nests.
Jellal and the others hiding in the alley stared at the scene in a daze: "This magic power... is it Kira?"
"Why is he here? Is he here because of the 'devil' as well?"
"It's still as crazy as ever... Fairy Tail's way of fighting!"
"Let's go! Let's go and take a look!"
The castle seemed to be pressed down by a huge mountain. It could not bear the weight and fell into pieces in an instant.
The foothold was destroyed. Not only the captives tied with chains, but even the Emerald Princess, who was able to move, fell uncontrollably along with the rocks and pillars.
“Uhhhhhh!!!”
"Your Highness, be careful!!"
Jola lived up to the name of "Holy Ten". He reacted quickly, stretched out his hand to grab Feicui and jumped into the middle of the captives who could not move freely, then waved his hand continuously.
Driven by magic, the large and small scattered stones in the air quickly gathered into thick rock pillars. The rock pillars overlapped each other, forming a huge and heavy square safe house in the blink of an eye, covering the unable to move.
"I'm saved..."
"What's going on? What just happened?"
"Your Highness, Lord Jura?!"
"Nani? You said they are the princess of the Kingdom of Fiore and Jura from the 'Ten Holy Wizards'?"
"Didn't the Chancellor say they were arrested?"
"Idiot! How could such a powerful wizard be captured so easily? He must have pretended to be captured in order to save us!"
"So we are saved?! That's great!"
The voices of the prisoners and the guards discussing something could be heard, making Jura and Feicui blush with embarrassment: "At least everyone is okay!"
"Mr. Jura, the shock just now...?"
"It's Kirasan's magic !"
Princess Emerald was confused: Didn’t he say that his magic made very little noise?
Jola saw it clearly: Haha...you believe this kind of thing?
With a thud, a large hand lifted the rubble from the ruins, revealing the scene inside:
Dozens of orcs were neatly stacked to form a physical protection tower. Although they had thick skin and flesh, their internal organs were damaged by the gravity, the pressure of the boulders, and the fall from the high altitude. Some were even seriously injured and unconscious. However, the Chancellor of Finance stood steadily among them, holding the magic book. He had no injuries on his body, not even a speck of dust on him.
It was obvious that in the critical moment just now, he controlled his subordinates to block the falling rocks for himself.
"You actually sacrificed your subordinates without hesitation? This really fits the setting of a chapter boss!" Kira slowly fell from the air, looking at the Finance Minister on the ground and complained, "How can someone like you have such a position? "
"It's you!" Seeing Kira appear here, the Finance Minister didn't look surprised. "When they didn't catch you, I knew you would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so soon!"
After that, he smiled contemptuously and said, "You just said to sacrifice subordinates? Aren't these guys used for this kind of thing? They are just orcs, and we can have as many of them as we want! Moreover, they are sensible beasts, in this case, they are not considered 'humans' at all! Anyway, they are defective products, so we can deal with them however we want, right?"
Kira interrupted him unhappily, looking at him as if he were a dead man: "Hey, hey...what do you mean by 'defective products'? They will turn into irrational beasts, but it's all your fault!"
"Yes! So I gave them the most honorable death!" The Finance Minister was even more proud. "Saving my life is already the most glorious way for them to die! The ones I sent to attack you yesterday really died worthlessly - no, they at least measured your strength! Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent out such an attack today!"
Kira took a deep breath and said, "You are really a heinous man! You use this kind of black magic recklessly, and you are planning to kill your brother and betray your country?"
"Oh? It looks like you've heard a lot!" The Finance Minister was obviously a little surprised. "Then you should have heard it too, right? That guy isn't a good person either. He's also involved in my plans!"
“Hehehe… After all, he got his current throne by stealing it in this way! I generously gave him the throne, but that bastard is now trying to replace my orc army with those machines!!”
"How can I bear this ?!"
What what?? What is he talking about?? I feel like I heard something incredible!!
Kira was stunned for a moment, then changed his expression to one of watching melons: things seemed to be developing in an interesting direction?
