Chapter 1250
The sight of the dam collapsing and the water gushing out was the most shocking thing Grand Duke Neighdelberg had ever witnessed in his life. This operation was the second and final chance Emperor Stuttgart was granting him, so Neighdelberg staked everything—even his life—on it.Why? The answer was obvious. Neighdelberg’s entire household would be annihilated if this operation failed.
If his punishment last time merely ended with him losing his status as a noble and being branded as a slave, then this time, his kin and everyone he knew would be executed for treason.
“Huff... Huff...!”
Grand Duke Neighdelberg struggled to breathe as he looked at the torrent of water surging toward the Marchioni Empire’s territory. The vast volume of water was about to crash down upon the nearby cities like a tidal wave.
If that much water falling from a high place crashed into the cities down below, millions of people would drown in less than an hour.
“...”
The Marchioni Empire’s soldiers engrossed in their work suddenly came to a standstill, staring dumbfoundedly at the collapsed dam. The mages drawing the magic circles to topple the mountain all stopped and looked at the torrent of water rushing toward the cities.
At that moment, the exact same thought popped into their heads.
‘I’m dead.’
‘We will be executed.’
‘We’re all doomed.’
