47 – Meanwhile in the North – 9
“Catch Grand Duke Cronor!!!”
Those with swords rushed. Grand Duke Cronor took out the sword he was wearing around his waist and immediately started fighting against the enemies, but he was pushed back due to a large number of enemies.
“This, these small puppies!!!”
Archduke Cronor swung his sword frantically and rushed towards the enemies. The Assassins were instantly pushed back by the momentum of Archduke Cronor, but were unable to overcome their numerical superiority. Small wounds began to increase one by one all over Grand Duke Cronor’s body, and Grand Duke Cronor’s bleeding was getting worse.
‘Blood… !’
The lack of blood made my head spin and my body staggered. The assassins who saw Archduke Cronor stumbled shouted.
“One step forward! With just one step, the Countess is in your hands… ”
But he couldn’t speak any more.
– Hurreuk
This is because the huge flames swallowed dozens of assassins in an instant.
And where the flame has gone.
“Abunning~ Are you okay?”
Dorothea von Cronor trotted toward Grand Duke Cronor with her wand pointed at the sky.
“Daughter… !”
Grand Duke Cronor lost his senses for a moment and almost burst into tears. It was because I felt so grateful for Dorothea who suddenly appeared. Dorothea was standing behind Grand Duke Cronor, looking at the few remaining assassins. Grand Duke Cronor felt that the strongest wizard in the north behind him was very reassuring.
“They are really bad people. Trying to kill my father like this… ”
“Daughter… !”
The moment when Grand Duke Kronor was thrilled.
“I will kill you.”
-Pushuk
A sharp thing protruded from his chest. Dorothea, who was behind Grand Duke Cronor, stabbed the stiletto (thin assassination sword) that was clinging to his waist precisely into the heart of Grand Duke Cronor.
“Just for this moment, I bought a dagger unsuitable for a mage, and practiced stabbing it right through the heart thousands of times. Just for this moment, I endured disgust and fell flattered by the most hated and hated person in the world. I bought thousands of opium just for this moment. But my prey is barely intercepted by such small puppies? I will never forgive you.”
Having said that, Dorothea shouted at the still living assassins.
“You know what I mean? all off! This is my prey!”
“Come on, daughter! what the hell are you talking about… ”
“You still don’t know? Children grow up the way their parents raise them. You made us monsters. So this is all what you caused.”
“… ”
Grand Duke Cronor in his youth had been thinking. I wanted to leave strong genes in the North. He wanted his children to leave a name for posterity. So, in order for their children to become strong, they repeated the training they had to risk their lives for.
But too many children died because of it. Thirteen out of sixteen died. That was a larger number than Chronor thought. Although the remaining three children had become monster-level strong, all the remaining children were as good as having been killed by herself.
“You mean it’s all my karma… ”
Having said that, Archduke Cronor sat down. Behind her, Dorothea was muttering something like an incantation.
“Rinbey, Roland, Torgunda, Torgils.”
At first I didn’t know what he meant. But as the conversation continued, familiar words began to appear.
“Torgos, Tokesen, Margresen, Brock.”
Grand Duke Cronor knew the name. That was the name of the children who could not stand the training and died.
“Have you waited long? I’ll drop him off in the same place as you.”
Only then did Grand Duke Cronor realize why he was being killed. It was revenge for the dead children.
“Ashes.”
Fire. Dorothea used her long-term fire magic once again, and then Grand Duke Cronor’s figure turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.

When the news of Grand Duke Cronor’s death spread, Dorothea and Rohan gathered the remaining guards and surrendered to Emilia.
As a result, Emilia acquired a knight named Rachnar von Skone, a tactician named Usami Arca, a wizard named Dorothea von Kronor, and finally an assassin named Rohan von Kronor.
Emilia, who unified the north in this way.
However, the northern part Emilia unified was not a complete northern part.
A state in which the southern part was occupied by the crown prince after losing a lot of troops in the previous chase for Seizu Castle. In addition, in the north, revolts by small factions were still continuing.
Emilia thought. Although the northern part is still very weak, he said that he would recover the lost Goto someday.
To do that, the first thing you need to do is Arcadia Academy.
Although the academy took a break to deal with the civil war in the north, it was time to go back.
At Arcadia Academy, talented people from all over the world gather.
Even Charles Jean Rochepole, who thoroughly destroyed the army of the former Archduke Cronor, was a student of Arcadia Academy.
First of all, I go to Arcadia Academy to gather talented people.
And based on that talent, he raises up the North.
That was Emilia von Cronor’s plan.
—–
One month after the civil war in the north was settled.
While walking through Arcadia Academy, Charles suddenly hid behind Glacia.
“… What are you doing?”
“Shh. quiet. Hide me now.”
“According to common sense, since Charles is taller than me, there’s no way he won’t be seen hiding behind me.”
“… Should I have hired a bigger escort?”
The absurd Glacia. Meanwhile, Charles continued to hide behind Glacia.
I followed Charles’ gaze, wondering what happened to Glacia, and there…
“… ”
There was a fearful presence. Her name is Emilia von Cronor. The strongest in the world and the Sword Master who defeated Diane de Balboa. there was that woman
However, the appearance was a little strange. First of all, the outfit was not an Arcadia uniform, but a rather revealing mid-century dress, and her hair was much shorter than Emilia’s. While Emilia’s hair reached her back, the hair of the woman in front of her only reached her shoulders.
Definitely facial expression. Compared to the usual expressionless Emilia, the woman in front of her was smiling all over the place. A face like Emilia’s, but a sense of heterogeneity as if she wasn’t Emilia. However, since it looked the same as Emilia’s, he hid for now.
And Emilia looked at Charles for a moment, then left with a puzzled expression on her face.
“Go, did you go?”
“I’m gone, so please stop being stupid.”
“What a fool! What if we rushed to get revenge after we destroyed his family!”
“It seems that it was Charles, not us, who broke the wind. I was only an escort. Please don’t take me as an accomplice at will.”
“I really don’t like it!”
After arguing with Glacia for a while, the bell announcing the first period rang before long.

At Arcadia Academy, there is a system that gives many extra points to your credit score if you are active on the battlefield.
The reason such a system exists is simple. This is because Arcadia Academy was basically a military academy.
Of course, Arcadia Academy wouldn’t have wanted the cadets to go to a large-scale war. It must have been the intention to just pick a suitable territory and build a small ball. It is to introduce the name of the school.
However, because I led Leonhard to victory in the battle between Crown Prince Leonhard von Arcadia and Archduke Carl von Kronor, my credits have already been confirmed for promotion.
The person who created this system probably didn’t know that cadets would lead a huge war with tens of thousands of units to victory. How would a professor feel when he had to give an unrealistic score to a cadet at once for an unprecedented historical event?
So, I was running around school. Attend moderately and listen to classes moderately. Anyway, the grades are enough.
Meanwhile, I had about 12,500 ducats in my bank account.
The money received from the prince was 10,000 ducats, the money received from the princess was 3,000 ducats, and the money spent was 500 ducats.
“Twelve thousand five hundred.”
What can you do with 12,500?
It was a difficult story. You can buy 6 mansions in the capital, 4 small castles on the outskirts, and 5 villas like the one the princess shared with me.
That’s a lot of money. 12,500 ducats is an amount that should be seen at the national level, not at the individual level.
That amount is in my hands. If I’m going to live in this world, it’s okay to play and eat with this for the rest of my life.
But what I want is to return to the original world. Of course, since I have a lot of money, it wouldn’t be bad to play and eat in this world for the rest of my life. However, in the original world, there are family and friends.
Most importantly, there are games. [The age of gunpowder and magic] I hadn’t tasted it yet and hadn’t even played it properly, but I had no intention of giving up and living in this world.
In order to return, he must eventually conquer the world. It was that we had to think of unifying the world as one. Then, the use of these 12,000 carts is clear. You can’t waste it in vain. I write for world domination.
“Let’s take over a useful mercenary.”
When he participated in the prince’s military march, it didn’t matter because he was moderately unknown, but he had already made a name for himself with previous victories. In other words, it was a story that if you go around as a guest bookkeeper like you did before, you could be kidnapped to be a part of our faction or killed for not giving it to other forces.
Even to prevent such a situation, I need my forces. Let’s take over a useful mercenary group and act as a very mercenary.
