prepare for civil war
The nobles also stopped and looked at him.
It does not intimidate or lash out violently. It doesn’t even tickle your nerves terribly. It just quietly announces that he is there. But no one could ignore him.
Rivetran felt it too, but he confidently looked ahead without looking back.
She headed towards the rather crude-looking mansion. Before they could even get close, the soldiers opened the door. Because of Hyeon-jun, he was able to immediately recognize that they were coming from afar, so he opened it immediately after seeing the Turaion pattern.
Rivetran, Hyeon-jun, and the attendant, who nodded as the soldiers took the example, entered the mansion, the door closed, and the street became noisy.
“Come this way.”
Hyeon-jun and Rivetran, who left the horse with the attendant and entered the mansion, were ushered into the drawing room.
A well-dressed elderly gentleman greeted them with a smile.
“welcome.”
“Thank you for inviting me like this.”
Rivetran shook his hand firmly. He chatted with Rivetran for a while and looked back at Hyeonjun.
“…….”
Then he stopped and looked into Hyeonjun’s eyes for a moment before smiling softly. However, he couldn’t hide the fact that his face had become a little pale.
“A manly spirit who made a name for himself on the eastern mountain front.”
“thank you.”
Hyunjoon smiled and shook his head slightly.
It is a feeling that makes you feel dizzy in front of your eyes. Is this what it feels like to stick your head into the guillotine and wait for the blade to drop?
All of the people who were talking in groups of threes and threes in the drawing room were all staring at this place before they knew it. They are members of a knight family, and it was impossible not to know Hyeon-jun’s momentum. Hyeonjun even used mana to create a huge wave in this wide space. It was not possible to maintain the flow steadily due to lack of mana handling skills, but it was enough to give everyone a strong shock.
There was silence for a while, and then the conversation started again. Rivetran took Hyeon-joon around and greeted and shook hands with many people. All of those who have already gathered here are families who have given a definite answer to Turaion or have had a conversation with Duvan. There was no Turaion mansion, so I came to another family’s mansion like this, but this seat is for Turaion. You cannot neglect a single person.
Hyeonjun silently kept his seat behind Rivetran. At first, some people came up to him and started talking. But he just smiled and let the story slip away, so I had no choice but to go to Rivetran in the end.
Moreover, Hyeon-joon didn’t look too great when he was still, but when our eyes met, I felt a tingling sensation as if I had been hit in the head with a flaming mace, along with an eerie feeling as if I was going to dig my spine with an ice pick, so most of them didn’t want to make eye contact with him. .
‘Don’t talk to me because I’m going to die of annoyance.’
Hyunjoon had only thoughts like that. It was because I wanted to avoid getting my head broken by politics because all I had to do was look at the goal and run. Now I just need to show who he is.
Hyeonjun silently listened to Rivetran’s story and nodded inwardly.
‘Certainly, politics is much better in Devan.’
Rivetran’s inability to do this was evident, as he could not hide his upright disposition. Speech is short and without embellishment. Truly a dealer. But now it’s rather good. Because what those gathered here need is trust, and Rivetran can best demonstrate that. The complicated story had already been greased by Dvan.
“…….”
Hyeonjun neatly ignored the gaze staring at him. If the opponent was a knight, he would hit him with force and drop his gaze, but he was not a proper opponent.
A boy who looks younger than La Hansen is looking at him persistently to the point of being rude. He eventually got up as Hyeon-jun continued to ignore him. The person who seemed to be his father looked back, and the moment his eyes widened slightly as if embarrassed, the boy opened his mouth.
“Are you really a wire hawk?”
“It was called that.”
Hyeonjun calmly looked down at the boy and said. The air cooled down. Because the boy spoke too rudely. Hyeonjun looked at the man who seemed to be his father with half-open eyes. His lips trembled as he felt a knife stabbed into his heart.
“…Sorry, I’m still immature.”
“it’s okay.”
Hyeonjun smiled and replied, but no one could open his mouth. The reason why this wild guy dared to be arrogant was because Hyeon-jun didn’t send his energy to him. It was because I was a kid. But the others were on the verge of wanting to pull out their swords right now. Anyone would do that if their sharp teeth gently scratched their necks and hot breath struck them.
Hyeonjun lowered his eyes again and looked at the boy. He looked like he couldn’t understand the other people’s reactions.
“It’s better not to do anything you can’t take responsibility for.”
The moment the boy raised his eyebrows and tried to open his mouth, his father ran over and grabbed him and pulled him back. He was drenched in a cold sweat and looked pitiful. Hyeon-joon probably wouldn’t show his strength here, but he couldn’t bear to stay still. Any child who gets their hands on a ticking time bomb will freak out just because there’s plenty of time left.
Hyunjoon smiled softly and took a step back. The tense tension was relieved at once, and the man took a deep breath. The boy seemed to notice that something was wrong, but Hyeon-jun did not pay any attention to him.
“… I’m sorry.”
“I’m still young, so I can.”
Hyunjoon laughed softly. A child can do that. But adults have to take responsibility.
Hyeon-jun, who silently watched the man talking to Rivetran while brushing his sweat-soaked hair, sighed inwardly.
‘You must be having a hard time because of the child.’
From the child’s point of view, the man who is called the hawk of the front line and is said to fly over the castle wall to snatch and kill monsters was so slender and didn’t show any energy.
Hyeonjun didn’t even know that the kid would come out. I didn’t want to threaten the child, so I just let it go, and it crashed. It is truly an action beyond imagination. If it wasn’t for this kind of place, Hyeonjun would have accepted it with a smile, but it’s not a place where he can pass on like that. Hyun-joon must show his strength here.
Rivetran took advantage of that momentum and seized the people with a bonus speech. In front of Hyeon-jun’s existence, her momentum as heavy as a mountain, and her open and confident speech, even the families of knights secretly made promises. Every time I see it, there is no reason not to reach out to a stock that shows a steep upward trend and soars and is safe. Hyeonjun and Tureion showed their worth, and the princess and the marquis are giving strength, what would they be afraid of?
The story progressed as quickly as the shock Hyun-joon created. Soon after, Rivetran spoke to everyone gathered here and received an appointment. Originally, I would have made a hole to escape without saying it clearly like this, and I would have walked a little bit, but Rivetran was so honest that I had to choose between coming in or leaving.
The atmosphere calmed down a bit. Embarrassingly, it is thanks to the fact that the story ended from the beginning. Now is the time to talk about friendship and profit.
‘I want to go back soon… .’
Hyunjoon grumbled inwardly. It’s just annoying because I don’t have to do politics anymore.
***
“ha…….”
Hyunjoon sat down and let out a sigh. In the past two days, Hyun-Jun has been to 3 social gatherings and been invited to 2 baron families to spend the damn time with Rivetran and Devan.
If I hadn’t been promised freedom, I would have cheated in the middle. It was so annoying and irritating. He would have beaten everything and showed his strength if he had even quarreled with him, but now there was no one left to give a damn to him, so we had to deal with him with a smile.
But it wasn’t all that annoying. Because he went around and exerted influence in all places, his karma had risen considerably. As always, the more karma, the better.
“Now you don’t have to move.”
“I’m glad.”
At Dvan’s words, Hyeonjun buried himself deeply in the chair and said.
He’s shown enough of what kind of person he is, and now he won’t be bothered anymore if he only shows his face at nominal meetings for civil war or military campaigns.
Wilhelmina arrives in Benting today. Tomorrow, in Wilhelmina’s presence, a huge meeting will be held where all the Benting families will gather. And in the near future, a place will be prepared to declare war on Lucan, who attempted to assassinate Hyeon-jun, and from then on, only civil war remains.
It is said to be a declaration of war against Lucan, but in reality it is only an excuse for civil war. If we send an army from Benting, at the northeastern end of the southern kingdom, to Lucan, which is lower than the center, will the lords in between send them off their heads? The orthodox will try to stop it somehow, and inevitably a massive battle will ensue.
If the aristocrats go to kill the orthodox faction and ask to open the road, they will open it. It has already come too far to do anything with politics. The aristocrats were also preparing for a civil war and preparing to clash.
“I didn’t even ask because I didn’t have time. Is Taxis well organized?”
“I saw the benefits of Benting. I was able to dispose of all the property that I could not take care of right away.”
“Did Taxis just let you go?”
“Not only Taxis, but also the power of Venting hidden in the nearby manor rose up at once. I got out of the gap when I was busy with the probation.”
“hmm….”
Well, Benting wielded great power even in Scanden. It wouldn’t have been difficult to get rid of a small knight’s family if he was determined and moved. However, the wave would not have been enough to miss a small family name.
“Taxis… . The whole aristocracy must have been shaken.”
“Yes. I got out thanks to Benting, but it wasn’t a very good situation. If I hadn’t joined the knights led by Sir Anton in the middle, I would have died.”
It doesn’t end when Turaion comes out. In the immediate situation right before civil war breaks out, Taxis’s loyal hound bites the owner and heads for the innovators. Moreover, isn’t that hunting dog Turaion, who made a name for himself by killing Tantares?
‘There was also the Henen family who turned to the orthodox school.’
Two vassals of Taxis betrayed. It must have caused tremendous political repercussions not only in Taxis but also in the aristocracy as a whole. Since the two families were not fools and judged that the aristocratic faction had no chance of winning, wouldn’t they have turned their backs? Or did the other factions promise something big enough to make your mouth water?
“For a while, the aristocrats will be busy mending their wounds. In the meantime, if you crush the orthodox faction overwhelmingly, the aristocratic faction will be greatly shaken, so you just have to smash it and disintegrate it.”
Hyunjoon nodded. By the time he came to his mind, he was already drawing the overall composition of the civil war. As far as he knew, he could clearly see how the Marquis would behave.
‘From the standpoint of the innovators, even if it wasn’t for me, they would have gladly accepted Turaion if they said they were coming.’
In the past, he had only thought about himself and the mercenaries, so he hadn’t thought about it, but it was truly an amazing move. There must have been a reason for the Marquis’ willingness to accept the deal.
Hearing footsteps approaching from outside, Hyeonjun turned his head slightly. Devan soon heard the sound. An attendant waited in front of the door and opened it the moment he heard a knock. A well-dressed man politely bowed to Devan and Hyeon-jun.
“His Excellency told you.”
Then, he handed the parchment in his hand to the attendant. Upon receiving it, the attendant immediately bowed and left. You are acting very hastily. It doesn’t seem like a light thing.
Devan smiled as he unfolded the parchment the attendant had brought. It is the laughter of a beast watching its prey.
“The temple gave me the answer.”
Hyeon-jun, who received the parchment from Devan, read it calmly. There was no guilt or anxiety about the temple people anymore.
From noble mtl dot com
“… … more than you think… .”
“Yeah, it came out great.”
The temple will not be deeply involved in the recent attempted assassination of Jun Turaion. It is a human affair, and the temple cannot intervene. However, without expecting any reward, he helped the temple in Scanden to raise the light, received the temple armor, and in Taxis, attempted to assassinate the good and righteous man who contributed greatly to driving away the darkness that fell over the Southern Kingdom. For the Askan family, the Temple of Karios and the Temple of Behbine cannot hide their regret and disappointment. I hope that things will be resolved amicably.
To sum it up, that was it.
“You mean to end the civil war quickly.”
“…….”
Hyunjoon let out a sigh. He gave strength not only to the temple of Karios but also to the temple of Behbine. I tried to carry the temple on my back, but I felt bitter when they pushed me openly like this. This is because the words of the temple act as a force that incites civil war.
‘But it’s a fight that must happen.’
No one can stop the civil war now. Can everyone nod their heads now that the king has come to his senses and pointed out a successor? It will stop only when the one who walks the path made of blood and sits on the throne comes out.
Soldiers are already withdrawing from the eastern mountain range one by one. A huge number of elite soldiers were going down to various places in Benting, and they were located in each of the key points. The move alone consumes money beyond imagination. Even the materials pulled tight for war there. Who would pay that astronomical amount instead? Even to make up for this, a civil war must break out.
‘… Do you think you’d rather give strength to the innovative faction to reduce the damage?’
The longer the battle is slow, the greater the damage. Rather, it would be better for everyone to put an overwhelming force on one side, destroy them all at once, and end the civil war quickly.
In this civil war, the innovative faction is the most dominant due to the military power of Marquis Benting, and there is a clear cause. It also has legitimacy because it has Leitzharn’s gold. The innovators, who were once considered the weak ones, were actually the strongest. In this situation, it is difficult to estimate how long the civil war will continue if the orthodox faction or the aristocratic faction are given power.
“We have to live up to expectations and win overwhelmingly as soon as possible.”
“Of course it should.”
Hyeonjun tilted his teacup and quietly organized his thoughts. Devan looked at him and tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips.
