Lispiia Continent
Leon, and the wizards of Veritas he led, reclaimed the border that bordered the Kingdom of Panim.
As the war began to flow strangely, the border baek opened the gate wide and tried to run away, but he could not escape Leon’s hand.
After capturing him, Leon executed the beheading by his own hands while his family and residents were all watching.
The act of giving way to the enemy by the border guard who was supposed to protect the border is the worst act of treason that will destroy the three generations, so their family should also be treated as the same sin.
If we leave the seeds of controversy that have sprouted the spirit of rebellion as they are, one day we will get sick.
However, Leon made eye contact with the children of Byeong-baek and said.
“If I am resentful, I can take revenge at any time. But your wrath must be directed only at me.”
Looking at Leon with his father’s head falling off and the blood all over his body, the children looked at only Leon, breathing harshly with expressions of anger and fear.
The right to succession to the titles of those children was forfeited.
Now, as commoners, they will do their own work and live from day to day, from place to place to eat and stay for one day.
For those who lived their entire lives as aristocrats just because they were born aristocrats, it would be a hellish life for them, but if they survive and develop the power to take revenge on Leon, even that is their free will.
Leon decided that the world was wrong and was acting to fix it.
But if you force it by force and turn your head and deny it when responsibility for the action returns, there will be no one to point out when Leon is on the wrong path.
And Leon marched again.
But this time, he went alone.
The damage from the wizards was greater than expected.
Nearly 10,000 Reeves wizards had been sacrificed.
Most of them were victims of the battle between Leon and Gale, but they did not want to lose the people any more.
And with a single magic, Leon destroyed the fortress guarding the borders of the Panim Kingdom, destroyed the lord’s castle where the frontier stayed, and slaughtered the soldiers holding up their swords and staffs against Leon.
But nothing could stop Leon’s steps.
The Titans and Reeves wizards, who arrived late, dig through the gap in the border that Leon had opened and expand their territory.
It has secured a supply route, which is the basis of military operations.
In fact, considering Leon’s ability to open portals, a long-distance movement magic with magic, there was absolutely no need for that, but in the process, the power of Veritas’ weapons and troops became widely known around the world.
Only after the supply route was completely secured, Leon was able to join the forces of Veritas and proceed again to reach the capital of the Panim Kingdom.
As the Titans destroyed the walls, and the sun that Reeves wizards fired brightly colored the sky like firecrackers, Leon reached the castle alone.
The king, who was sitting proudly alone in the audience, was trembling thinly.
However, he maintained his dignity as a king who ruled a nation until the end.
“Welcome.”
He opened his mouth like that to Leon with a trembling voice.
His voice was trembling softly, and he smiled a little and said to himself that he himself was aware of it.
“I am determined to face the end proudly at the end, but this body does not follow my spirit. I will soon die at your hands. But will you understand? Did I just have to do what I was supposed to do as the king of a country?”
He joined hands with the nobles who rebelled against the Philo Empire, and led the neighboring countries to war.
Leon hates war.
Who really likes war?
From the memory of dying as a child soldier at the end of a grueling battle against demons as a child soldier,
The experience of living comfortably in an armistice country in the modern Earth, far from war, made Leon like that.
But if someone infringes on Leon’s rights, Leon will fight.
The king of Panim Kingdom, Dante Paul Liante, was saying so.
The relationship between the Kingdom of Panim and the Empire of Philo was so deep that it could no longer be repaired.
In the meantime, if the military power grew due to the merger and acquisition of the Philo Empire and the Veritas Kingdom, the rights of the Panim Kingdom were inevitably violated.
so acted.
Of course, the goal of the sediment was due to the one-sided actions of the Kingdom of Panim.
By unilaterally invading and taking away the borders of the Philo Empire and agricultural land, the Kingdom of Panim was able to enjoy a prosperous life for the past 100 years.
But how could Leon blame him for the same king?
From the point of view of the Philo Empire, the Panim Kingdom’s reckless aggression deserves to be condemned, but at least the people of the Panim Kingdom were able to enjoy a prosperous life thanks to it.
“But now the moment has come to hold them accountable. That’s all.”
“Aren’t you afraid?”
“what?”
“The moment when responsibility will find you.”
Leon immediately thought of Gale.
Was it Leon’s fault?
Leon didn’t think so, but at least Gale seemed to think so.
Not only that.
There were countless people who suffered damage from Leon.
The reason why Leon has to wage this war right now is that he suddenly expressed his opinion that he would change the Philo Empire, which had achieved a civilized feudal society, into a democratic society.
The nobility had their rights violated, and a will of resistance was raised to resist it.
If so, this is Leon’s responsibility.
“If that moment comes, I will humbly accept it.”
conformity?
No.
If that moment comes, Leon will certainly fight against it.

Just as one’s own free will should be respected, so should the free will of others.
If the free will of others should be respected, then one’s own free will should also be respected.
“Then I will humbly obey. I think I lost this time.”
He closed his eyes and sat comfortably on the backrest.
“Thank you for your mercy.”
“mercy?”
“The reason you led the Reeves to invade the Panim Kingdom was to minimize the sacrifice of the Panim Kingdom people.”
In war comes sacrifice.
It is not just the story of soldiers who participated in the war.
Leon has been through numerous battlefields and has seen how the people of the land that have been invaded and ruined by demons suffer.
Women who sell their bodies because they have nothing to eat, and girls who are forcibly taken away by soldiers.
People whose lives are taken without hesitation in trivial disputes, and people who have been deprived of clothes, food, and land to live in.
But Reeves are not greedy.
If there is, is it about the level of revenge of ‘returning what has been suffered is more than that’?
There is no need to infringe on the rights of the people who are living a good life for nothing if they win the war and the other side just surrenders.
Thanks to this, the Panim Kingdom suffered the most intense war in history since the demons invaded the human world, but the damage was kept to a minimum.
“That was the only regret I had left. What kind of face should I face in the face of the people who will be sacrificed because of my choices? But, thanks to your mercy, I think I will be spared.”
And he opened his eyes.
“Now do what you have to do. I will humbly obey.”
Leon beheaded him.
And his face rolling on the floor slowly closed its eyes.

The kingdom of Panim was defeated.
It happened less than a month after the war started.
The countries geographically distant from the Philo Empire and the Panim Kingdom had only heard the news that the war had just begun, but the war had already ended.
At the same time, the allies of the Panim Kingdom, who were advancing towards the Philo Empire, stopped their advance.
If the powers of the three countries were combined, the military power would be slightly higher than that of the Kingdom of Panim, but nonetheless, it showed overwhelming power to the extent that the result was clearly expected.
The power of the Reeves wizards who manipulated the sun, the Titans, and the world’s greatest arch mage, Leon Farostel Veritas, was widely known around the world.
While the allies stopped the troops heading for the Philo Empire and prepared a place for discussion to reconcile their views, Leon personally visited their king.
If he wanted to hide himself, he would have been able to meet the kings of his allies secretly, avoiding the public eye.
But Leon didn’t.
At the time when the sun rose in the middle of the sky, he floated in the air that everyone could see, and wrapped around his body in the form of a crown that sparkled in the shape of a crown and wings of thunder, and received everyone’s gaze and headed for the royal castle.
Naturally, the soldiers resisted Leon with all kinds of magic and martial arts, but nothing could harm Leon’s body.
Quang!
The walls of the royal castle are torn down, revealing the king’s state office.
In the midst of them, the king of the ally, having only just heard the news that Leon Farostel Veritas was heading towards him, stiffened his body just as he had received the soldier’s report, raised his eyes and met Leon’s gaze.
“Now stop surrendering. It doesn’t matter if I kill you and continue the war like this, but you don’t want to die like this, do you?”
As if taking a walk, Leon appealed that he could come back whenever he wanted, and that played a decisive role in his decision.
The other two countries also accepted the recommendation to surrender, just as the kingdom of Thrend followed suit.
But Leon just didn’t want it to end like that.
“It was not a direct war, but the fact that you aimed your swords and staffs at the Philo Empire does not change. We will continue the war as long as we are not subordinated to the Philo Empire.”
In front of that threat, the three countries that had formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Panim had no choice but to fall into unprecedented chaos.
It was natural.
The fact that he could not resist Leon’s power was deeply felt as he watched the situation in the Kingdom of Panim.
So, the only option left for them is to bow down to the Philo Empire and follow them thoroughly.
However, the problem was the fact that the Philo Empire was abandoning the feudal social system.
If the other three countries, which bowed their heads, followed the path of the Philo Empire, of course, the royal family and nobles had no choice but to resist.
With that in mind, Leon was ready to inflict great magic to set an example if they eventually made an irreversible decision.
It was intended to imprint fear in everyone’s soul and force them to follow, rather than just harming ordinary people living their daily lives due to infighting within their country.
However, unlike the nobles of the Philo Empire, they were already well aware of the power of Leon.
Even if they resist, it will escalate into war and eventually strangle themselves.
The nobles of the allies quickly prepared asylum and left with the assets and vassals they had been summoned to, and Leon was able to absorb the three countries into the territory of the Philo Empire through a relatively peaceful process.
And Leon was able to inherit the throne from Emperor Feirn through official procedures.
The name of the Philo Empire was changed to the Veritas Empire.
Even the Millennium Empire, Ibrium, and the Holy Empire, Saint Lane, could not follow in terms of the size of the land or military power.
Of course, Leon had no intention of justifying the aggression of neighboring countries according to imperialism.
Humans in management positions who thought of the name of the Great Empire might have intended to do so from the beginning, but at least for now, it was too much to just rule the Philo Empire and the three newly expanded countries.
Now, it was necessary to take a break to stabilize the national tax.
“But I will never be allowed to rest.”
As Leon sighed and lamented, the office door opened and Sahara Leonhardt walked in.
A secretary, now dressed in a suit, after abdicating the queen’s throne, embracing a large pile of papers.
“There has been a report that a suspicious movement has been witnessed on the Lispia continent.”
Leon sighed once more with a face like that.
Lispia continent.
A home for dragons where humans no longer live.
It was a report that demons were observed there.
