Mae and her generals also did the same, capturing the seven dukes and other rotten nobles. Things are going smoothly, but I doubt that.
At 6:00 am, the sun rises, and the public execution of the emperor and other nobles begins, with Duke Ian and the Crown Prince leading the execution.
From afar, Siah and the others are watching. "He really did it; to think he managed to defeat the emperor in just one night... he's really something," Kathy said.
"It might work in humans, but in other races, I doubt it might work like this," Brod said.
"Correct, other races have magic, abnormal strength, etc.; that's why this strategy only works in humans; however, when it comes down to fighting other races, we still have the chance to win," Siah said as he walked to them.
They are watching from a tall building near the execution, watching them as they execute the nobles one by one.
Shouting and asking for forgiveness, these nobles are rotten to the core; they even betray others just for them to survive, but it just makes things easier for us.
The families of the nobles got strict from their nobility, giving them no choice but to leave the country. Those who were bad, like the nobles, got also killed, while those who were good got released and were forced to leave the country or start a new life.
Things are going pretty smoothly, but usually things like this are where the actual battle begins.
"I, Arthur, the crown prince, declare myself to be the emperor of this empire!" Using his sword, he slashes his father's head, and people cheer for him by saying his name.
[Name: Arthur]
Title: The Emperor

"Arthur! Arthur!"
"Long live the emperor!"
"Long live the emperor!"
In the faraway hill near the capital, a man stood looking at the big capital and smirked, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! to think that the emperor will die, how foolish!" The man was the guy who is the secretary of the emperor.
"Well, it doesn't matter; the plan might change a little, but that still matters. Rise! My undeads!" He shouted, having two hands up in the air.
A dark cloud appeared in the capital; it's the same cloud that Brod used in the battle with Siah.
"This," Kathy said. She didn't expect to see the dark clouds.
"Fuku, are you seeing this?"
"Yeah, it's an undead magic formation; it is used to revive the dead."
Siah and Fuku are talking via blue screen, like a video call; they use the same method as when Siah contacts the Duke.
In the dark and frightened clouds, an army of undead dragons appeared!
Undead dragons are a type of dragon that has been resurrected from death by dark magic.
An undead dragon is a dragon that has been reanimated by a spell that infects its body and mind. An undead dragon is mindless and feral, acting on its primal instincts to feed and spread the infection.
An undead dragon has a decaying and rotting appearance, with wounds, scars, and missing parts. If I were to describe it in two words, then it's like a zombie dragon. The system provided information.
"Fuku... this..."
"We may be the same race, but they are already dead; however, for someone to use the corpse of dragons is unforgivable!" Fuku said angrily.
"Fuku, don't let this anger you. I understand why you're angry, but you must stay calm, send us reinforcement, and don't leave the base. I have a bad feeling about this."
"Understood"
"Duke Ian! Quickly organized the army! My citizens! Run!" The emperor Arthur shouted, leading both his citizens and staying calm while dealing with the undead dragons.
"Soldiers! Evacuate the citizens! Royal Mage, distract the Undeads while we evacuate!" The duke said.
Dozens of mages start chanting and attacking the undead dragons; however, the undead dragons come out unscathed from the smoke!
"How can this be?" the duke said. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"We only just won the empire and are about to start a new path. Is this how the empire's end?"
"Duke! Do not lose hope! Focus on evacuating the civilians! Royal Mages! Scatter and attract the undead zombies to create an opportunity for the citizens to escape!"
"Princess, may I request to help them?" Brok asked.
"You may, but please be careful," Kathy replies.
"As the princess ordered"
Mae divides her troops into two, one focused on evacuating the civilians while the other is attacking the undead dragons.
"Your Majesty, are you not going to help them?" Kathy asked.
"This is good training for Mae, to test her leadership, while also a chance to see how the emperor will handle this situation. I'm not inhumane to let ordinary people die just to test people; I already sent some of my robots to fasten the evacuation," Siah replied.
"His Majesty sure is kind," Kathy said.
"..." Siah didn't say anything and continued to watch.
Brok starts to help them, fighting those undead dragons head-on. "Black knight! Thank you for your help! We owe you!" The emperor said.
Brok just nodded; on the other hand, Mae
"Focus on evacuating people using the vehicles his Majesty provided!" Those vehicles are trucks that can carry tons of people at once, evacuating them outside the capital.
Jet fighters are also using missiles to fight and attract the undead dragons; it's effective enough, and stealth helicopters are also flying around and fighting back! While tanks and other war vehicles Siah takes out of his item box are being used to fight the undead dragons,
Undead dragons are revived through black magic; to counter the black magic, holy magic is needed; however, with the hundreds of Undead dragons, the empire's royal mages can't kill them all.
Not only that, every time they kill one, it will just revive itself, making it impossible to kill without holy magic. The undead dragon carries lots of diseases, making it a virus that can spread to whoever touches it or comes into contact with it.
Breathing fire, destroying buildings—it's a catastrophe! More and more of them are coming, nonstop! "Is this really the end of the empire?" Arthur said, looking at the hundreds of undead dragons charging towards him.
"Your Majesty!" The duke tries to save him, but it's too late.

However! Before the fire could even reach Arthur, Mae appeared, shielding him with a blue-like shield, like a hologram.
"Who... are you?" Arthur asked.
"They are the ones who help us, your majesty! It's Major Mae!" Ian said.
"Don't just keep standing there! Run towards the helicopter!"
"Helicopter! What the hell is that?" Arthur asked, shouting
"Your highness, it's that weird vehicle! We should follow what she said!" Ian replied.
"Okay." Arthur and Ian then ran towards the helicopter. They got in, and it immediately flew. "Hey! What about her!" Arthur asked.
When the helicopter got away, Mae immediately caught up, jumping from building to building and immediately jumping towards the helicopter's rope ladder.
"So that's the reason why we're flying so low," Ian said.
"What? This can still fly higher?" Arthur asked.
"Yeah, it's a great experience. This is also the vehicle we used when we got here, but it's much larger."
Suddenly, an undead dragon appeared in front of the helicopter, but the pilot used the missles and destroyed the corpse of the undead dragon.
"So powerful..."
"I was also amazed at how powerful they are."
"Who are they anyway?"
Mae climbed up and appeared before them. "We are the people of His Majesty Siah," Mae said, having a strong appearance to them.
"Thank you for saving us," Arthur said, thankful.
"Don't thank us yet; the problem is still there."
Mae and the others then arrived outside the capital. Mae then jumped down while they were still high up. "WAAAAA!! She jumped!"
"Your Highness, please look down."
"She's... alive? Even jumping from this high?"
"Well, there are many things that we also can't understand about them."
"Figures"
Mae then reported to Siah, who is also outside the capital now, "Your majesty, all of the people inside have been evacuated; everyone from top to bottom has been successfully evacuated thanks to this solar his majesty gave."
Siah then smiles, "Good! Now fire!" Outside the capital, there are dozens of rocket artillery vehicles. The rockets are blessed with holy magic, thanks to Kathy.
Later that time, Kathy and Siah were left alone by Brok.
"Hey Kathy, I believe those undead dragons won't be killed unless it's holy magic."
"That's correct. The undead will continue to attack you no matter what you do; even if you cut them or destroy their whole body, they will just form again."
"Can you kill them all?"
"Nope, even I can't kill those many undead, and besides, holy magic isn't our specialty; we're demons after all."
"Hmmm, but can you still use holy magic?"
"Yup, I can at least kill dozens of them."
"That won't do; that isn't enough."
"Yeah, I'm sorry."
"You don't have to apologize; I have a plan."
And at the current time, the plan of Siah is to bless with holy magic the rockets that will be used for the rocket artillery. With this, the missiles can kill those dragons immediately.
However, this will result in the destruction of the capital. However, we have no other choice; blessing mass weapons such as rifles or swords won't do anything; it will only drain Kathy's mana before they even kill every undead.
"Fire!!"
As the eerie silence enveloped the besieged capital, dozens of rocket artillery units positioned themselves strategically along the city's outskirts. The air crackled with tension as the crews meticulously prepared for the impending assault. The night sky, painted in hues of ominous shadows, contrasted sharply with the fiery glow emanating from the rocket launchers.
In a synchronized dance, the artillery pieces unleashed a barrage of rockets that streaked across the heavens, leaving trails of smoke in their wake. The once serene atmosphere shattered as the rockets roared towards the looming undead dragons circling above the city.
Explosions erupted in a chaotic symphony, each detonation sending shockwaves through the air. The night momentarily turned to day as the fiery blossoms of destruction illuminated the darkened landscape. The relentless onslaught created a dazzling display of destruction, with the rockets' fiery tails weaving a tapestry of chaos against the canvas of the night.
The undead dragons, caught off guard by the ferocity of the attack, roared in defiance. Some dragons fell from the sky, their undead forms disintegrating in the inferno below. Yet others resiliently weathered the storm, unleashing retaliatory breaths of dark, otherworldly flames.
As the echoes of the rocket barrage reverberated through the capital, the city stood at the crossroads of salvation and ruin, the outcome hanging in the balance as the conflict between the living and the undead dragons raged on.
Many citizens start crying; there may be no casualties, but their home, business, and those they worked hard for were being destroyed in front of their eyes.
Meanwhile, the man is watching from the hill. "Splendid! How magnificent! You never failed to amaze us! Siah!" He said, shouting like a mad man.
