0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 138
“You are the savior of this continent, and the great One whose grace reaches the heavens and the earth to benefit the nation and its people!”
The servants of the Gazar Kingdom knelt in front of me and shouted.
“Please rule over our kingdom and spread its greatness even more!”
Something… the atmosphere is getting weird.
As the Kingdom of Shana surrendered to me and handed over the sovereignty, the kingdom of Gazar, which had suffered great damage from Rylakan and was about to collapse, also came to me directly and knelt down.
“The kingdom of Gazar is yours now! Please do not abandon us.”
In a word, these guys also opened their hands to me to live right away like Shana Kingdom.
The funny thing is that following Shana and Gazar, even the Mann Kingdom expressed their intention to surrender to me.
“Oh oh. King.”
“Reduction!”
“With this, the King has come to rule the Five Kingdoms!”
The servants were overjoyed.
If I were a normal player playing the game, I would have accepted and ate this as a windfall, but now I couldn’t say that this was unconditionally good for me.
‘He’ll be asking for money here and there.’
You can see that the threat has disappeared as they surrendered to me.
But what if they take my money, eat it, grow their strength, and turn against me again?
At that time, it was no different from raising an enemy with my own hands.
‘Is it because I’ve been so good to Shana Kingdom?’
The fact that these two kingdoms suddenly bowed towards me was largely due to the kingdom of Shana.
When the Kingdom of Shana surrendered to me, I promised my full support, intending to imprison Ryla Khan there forever.
Workers have already been sent to Shana Kingdom to begin restoration work, and support has already begun in many ways.
And the construction of the Mage Tower, which can be said to be the biggest project, is also under the direction of the Dwarves.
Since magic and science and technology became one, the construction speed was very fast and the recovery speed was also progressing rapidly.
The problem is that upon hearing the story, the kingdoms of Gazar and Mann surrendered to me with a white flag.
“As of today, the people of the Gazar Kingdom are my people.”
“A great honor is coming!”
That’s how they bowed to me and it was time to stop going back.
“one more.”
“······Yes?”
“If you betray me, or harbor an evil heart…”
Koo Goo Goo-!!
As I released my power, the inside of the palace shook like an earthquake.
They were startled and immediately fell to the ground.
“I will personally descend and blow away your entire kingdom without a trace.”
“Here, keep in mind. I’ll keep that in mind!”
Having received a strong warning, they rushed out of the hall.
Would you like to do something like this?
[The progress of the main quest ‘Road of the Emperor’ has been updated.]
[Kingdoms conquered so far]
-Halaz, Ainsof, Shana, Gazar, Mann
– Conquer all kingdoms and become emperor.
[Because you conquered the five kingdoms, you receive 20 gold as a reward.]
As the two kingdoms came into my grasp, I received a whopping 20 gold.
And this was enough money to use the store.
“They will not betray you.”
As I stared blankly at the information window for a moment, Horace spoke to me.
“is it?”
“The King defeated Lailakan, who was called the strongest man on the continent. And they have a deep-seated fear of Rylakan. Because of that fear, you won’t even dream of betrayal. If you do, the King will truly descend and completely destroy their homeland.”
Well… it’s not like I can do anything just because I’m descending alone.
As Horeth said, they were properly intimidated by Lyla Khan, so I thought they would obey my words unconditionally for the time being.
“Is the construction of the mage tower I entrusted to you in Shana Kingdom going well?”
“Yes. Completion news will come soon. Aren’t the best wizards and artisans eager to build the Mage Tower?”
I hope the mage tower is completed soon and you take that troublesome piece.
Even if it’s not, I’m nervous because I don’t know when the demons will come in. Should I stress myself to that prison?
“And… I have something to tell you about the Kala Kingdom.”
“Speak.”
“Currently, the Kala Kingdom is said to be fighting a battle with Rylakan’s Ghost Knights.”
“Didn’t you say that you were in battle the other day?”
“Yes. At first, it was thought to be a light clash, but it seems that the battle has become serious enough that the commander of the Kala Kingdom’s Grand Division and elite knights sortie.”
The Knights of Vengeful Spirits, raised by Ryla Khan from the Eternal Fire.
Their power is so great that it hurts to talk about it.
However, when Lailakan was detained in our kingdom, a battle with the Vengeful Spirit Knights suddenly took place in the Kala Kingdom.
‘It’s unimaginable in the original story.’
I had never seen a scenario in which the Knights of the Vengeful Spirit battle the Kala Kingdom.
‘The Ghost Knights must be very useful when fighting demons.’
In this way, the precious Knights will disappear at the hands of the Kala Kingdom.
It was as obvious as seeing fire that the Vengeful Spirit Knights were annihilated by the Kala Kingdom.
‘Could the Kala Kingdom Knights lose?’
Thinking so, I opened the shop window.
* * *
“Everyone is ready, Grand Division Commander.”
“yes. What about the magic corps?”
“All preparations are complete.”
Minuel, the Grand Master of the Kala Kingdom, and Levian, the Archmage.
According to the king’s order, these two men led their forces and confronted the Ghost Knights.
“Tsk. The owner also got into trouble, and in the end they are the same.”
The Knights of the Vengeful Spirit led their forces without permission from the kingdom.
Karman sent troops to stop it, but the Knights of the Vengeful Spirit mercilessly trampled the forces of the Kala Kingdom.
Karman, greatly enraged by this, sent an elite force to stop them.
“But sending them to Eli Kingdom doesn’t seem too bad.”
At Levian’s words, Minuel turned his head.
“What does that mean?”
“Think about it. The Kingdom of Eli has become too strong. Following the kingdom of Shana, Gazar, and even the bay. They all surrendered. What about the kingdom of Omer? Isn’t Elberstein who rules there a very famous servant of Aslan?”
As he said, the color kingdom was no longer the strongest kingdom on the continent.
The kingdom of Eli, which ruled over five kingdoms, was the strongest.
“If the Knights of the Vengeful Spirit invade Eli Kingdom and destroy it here and there, wouldn’t it be to our advantage?”
“If that happens, the Kala Kingdom is in full-scale war with the Eli Kingdom.”
“That’s when you go and get away with it. It’s not what we did.”
“Are you saying that our Kala Kingdom should pay attention to the Eli Kingdom while using such dirty tricks!?”
“Wow. Calm down. It’s not going to be that emotional.”
“Noisy! Hide behind you and use magic! You nasty bastard.”
“after-. yes. You have to follow the orders of the commander-in-chief. What will this coward do?”
Watching Levian step back, Minuel bit his lip.
“Aslan…”
The day before, since we met at the Round Table of Swords, Aslan had grown to the point where I couldn’t dare to look at him.
On the other hand, the status of Minuel and the Kingdom of Carla is declining day by day.
Perhaps, as Levian said, it might be better to send the Ghost Knights to Eli Kingdom…
“no. It can’t be.”
It is the Kala Kingdom that defeats the Kingdom of Aslan and Eli.
I didn’t want to beat them with cowardly tricks.
Like a knight, I wanted to see the match with honor.
“All forces charge!!”
Minuel drew his sword and bravely stood in the forefront and ran towards the Knights of the Vengeful Spirit.
* * *
‘This day has finally come.’
I barely resisted the urge to hum.
Several archmages including Raphael and many other magical manpower were mobilized and poured everything into constructing the mage tower. As a result, the mage tower was completed very quickly.
As soon as the report came in, I transported the prison where Rylakan was imprisoned and headed for Shana Kingdom.
It was to make sure the mage tower was properly completed while transporting it.
If it looked unfinished to my eyes, I was going to have them build it again from scratch.
It’s a mage’s tower that confines Ryla Khan, so why not make it roughly?
However, there was one piece of news that bothered me.
“It is said that the 10,000-strong army of the Kala Kingdom was eventually annihilated while fighting the Vengeful Spirit Knights.”
The fight between the Kala Kingdom and the Vengeful Spirit Knights lasted for 15 days.
I naturally thought that the Kala Kingdom would win, but the Vengeful Spirit Knights won.
‘but. They’re tricky to catch.’
The fraudulent advantage of the Ghost Knights is that they do not die even if stabbed in the body.
There was a condition that these guys could only be killed by cutting their throats like zombies.
If not, the ghost knights will not fall no matter how much magic and swords are thrown.
‘No matter how it is, did the color kingdom lose?’
I don’t know if they’ve weakened, or if the Ghost Knights did more than I thought.
‘They’ll try to save Lylakan.’
Although the color kingdom lost 10,000 troops, that much death did not mean the kingdom would perish.
And because of Karman’s pride, he wouldn’t be able to stand still and watch the ghost knights slip away.
I just wanted to know how to block it.
It’s difficult if they try to attack Shana Kingdom to save Lailakan.
‘by the way······.’
I stared blankly at the shop window from the top of my horse.
A gold shop opened by collecting more than 50 gold.
The problem is, again,
[Philharmot Pendant]
-An ancient artifact created to defeat the power of evil.
-It is said that if you put six pendants together, you can obtain legendary power.
-It is a pendant with the protection of Mobiros, the god of purification.
Pendants appeared in stores.
‘Why do pendants keep coming out?’
I wanted to buy other items, but I couldn’t because of this pendant.
If you buy other items without buying the pendant, you will not be able to obtain the pendant forever.
‘Now that I know that Rylakan has the key, can I stop collecting pendants?’
The purpose of collecting the pendant was to completely seal the Techina tribe.
So, didn’t Alexander, the main character, collect all the pendants and completely drive the evil power out of the continent?
This was a normal, normal story.
But what’s the point of collecting this now that we know that Ryla Khan holds the key to closing the world’s end?
‘Of course, it’s questionable whether that Ryla Khan will act according to our wishes.’
The moment I was so worried.
Chow-!!
Suddenly, a portal opened in front of us.
I even got a creepy feeling from the gloomy aura that flowed from it.
and there,
Dagdak-.
The knights appeared with the sound of their hooves and the flames of the spirits were roaring all over their bodies.
‘What, what is it? Why are they here?’
That’s why it appears through a portal.
If you have the ability to open a portal this large…
‘Tercana. Is it this bastard again?’
Why does he keep interrupting me?
“We’ve come to see our master… Rylakan.”
[Dvorak]
The head of the Knights of the Vengeful Spirits, a knight who remains loyal only to Ryla Khan, as he was 300 years ago.
It is said that 300 years ago he was one of the continent’s sword masters.
‘I’m almost there!’
no. How does the color kingdom manage the kids?
They said that 10,000 people were killed, did they really just give up?
But,
“You mortal. Surrender if your life is worth it.”
The confused head soon returned calmly, and the fast-beating heart also regained its coolness.
“Did you say mortal?”
The bravado rising from under the horse’s hooves was instantly filled up to the top of my head as soon as I heard those words.
“You are cheeky.”
Of course, I, who was at the forefront, slowly moved my horse forward.
“How dare you say that a guy whose bones are so disorganized that not even his bones remain has a pierced mouth.”
Then he raised his head arrogantly and continued.
“Did you say you wanted Lylakan? Then come and see for yourself.”
