Daid Yorgil felt his head throb.
Even in this situation, what kind of mind is it that you are persistently weighing it?
‘How can a person called the crown prince show such an appearance… … !’
Half a year ago, when I first started trading, I liked it in many ways.
It was like the quick negotiations or the delivery of materials like knives according to the promised period.
Of course, I didn’t like the appearance of meeting with the forces that were hostile to each other.
But they say that it is for the benefit of the kingdom.
I liked the way the negotiations were handled smoothly without dragging them out.
It’s a little selfish, but I thought it was worth it because I overtook my brothers and became the crown prince.
‘So I decided to hit Henrik based on the kingdom’s resources… … .’
This is partly due to the excellent quantity and quality of supplies from the kingdom.
This was much more profitable than drawing from family territory.
‘Should I save it as much as possible in case I hit the kingdom later?’
The problem was after that.
When it was time to make up my mind and move in earnest, the deal dragged on.
Suddenly, the number of trading partners increased, and the number of evasions such as miscalculations and mistakes increased.
At first, I wondered if it was really like that, but I realized that it was all a lie through the situation and spying.
They were just procrastinating as much time as possible at Henrik’s request.
‘Isn’t this too lacking without a concept?’
I didn’t receive anything material from Henrik.
It seemed that it was just because a lot of goods could be sold if the war was prolonged.
The longer Henrik is given, the longer they can last.
If it was the other time, I would have just ignored it and moved on… … .
It was burdensome because the kingdom was no longer a power that could be ignored.
“If Your Highness does, the Yorgil family will have to reconsider their deal with the kingdom.”
“The same goes for Solstad. It’s a specification that takes more time than this.”
“I understand how you feel, so I would like to make a new proposal.”
“What is?”
“I’ll take half of the amount I was originally supposed to get.”
At my suggestion, the eyes of the two heads of families sharpened.
There is such a thing as a proposition that arouses interest, but since it was such a good story, doubts arose.
“Of course, there are conditions attached to this.”
“Please tell me.”
“I’ll give you half of the promised supplies in a week. The remaining half will be given in a month.”
“Can you tell me why?”
“I don’t know what you guys think, but it’s true that the kingdom is struggling to produce goods.”
It was the first time I had done a transaction like this, so I made a mistake in my plan.
It’s not that the amount to be handed over isn’t insufficient, but it’s true that a little misunderstanding caused a problem.
… … He went on with the excuse that it was.
It was also a situation where I tipped off the kingdom to make it look like that.
“This is my fault. It happened because I expected that this would be sufficient supply.”
“In other words, you are saying that you will receive half of the original price as compensation for that.”
“Yes.”
Their suspicious eyes were still there.
I’ve done all sorts of things for the benefit of the kingdom, but I’m sure you’re suspicious because I’m here.
“The Alexander clan values responsibility. This is entirely due to my inexperience.”
“You mean you’re going to take responsibility for it in this form.”
“That’s right. It is also a promise that I will not show such immaturity in the future.”
“I understand what you mean.”
Deid and Schwein thought for a moment.
They were running their own calculators.
They must be thinking about whether it is okay to prepare for war immediately after receiving only half of the scheduled supplies.
“I will obey your will.”
“Then the payment will be received after a week. You don’t have to give it to me after a month.”
After the two of them left, they went to Shardan, the head of Rien.
When I told him the foregoing, he naturally put the current situation into his mouth.
“Then, you can proceed with the work with Henrik as scheduled.”
“There’s not much time left. Are you okay?”
“Yes, no problem. We should be able to hit them on schedule.”
The Lien family had no intention of holding hands with Henrik.
They were planning to put a knife into Henrik’s back at the designated timing while fending off the offensive of the giant families together.
“Ever since, I have discussed Your Highness’ proposal with the people closest to me, but they all agreed to follow it.”
Even the Rien family, who had bad feelings for them, did not blindly commit such betrayal.
It was a judgment that came out because they were sure that the kingdom would fight with them afterwards.
“Then, it will be a month later when we deliver the remaining supplies to them.”
“Yes, until then, I will prepare with all my heart.”
“You know, but it’s not enough to just deal a big blow. The seeds will have to be dried and destroyed.”
This was not a judgment based purely on my bad feelings.
If the war lasts longer than expected, you don’t know what will happen to Henrik’s relationship with the great families.
In that case, Rien and the kingdom would be in trouble.
‘… … Well, it’s not a judgment without personal feelings at all.’
In my previous life, I had several failed missions and was in danger of my life.
Most of them were traps of family elders and brothers.
This was also possible because of the assistance of other large families.
How many lives of those who followed me were lost because of that… … .
“Even for the sake of our allies who died because of them, we shouldn’t have mercy.”
“of course.”
A week later, Solstad and Jorgil finally raised an army.
The supplies were given a few days ahead of schedule, but the invasion began as soon as they were received.
This time, Ronberg said he would not go to the front, so it was safe to say that it was actually the allied forces of Solstad and Yorgil.
“It’s been a while since we all got together like this. Was it just a month?”
“It’s been two months, brother.”
“Wow, time goes by so fast.”
All the elite members of the SS were gathered in front of me.
It was the last inspection before the operation of a few weeks later.
“Felix, what is the size of the kingdom army that has entered the continent of Feyer?”
“Yes, 5,000 SS and 4,000 Cheongsa. And 10,000 additional Royal Palace Knights are scheduled to come in.”
“Are these the Royal Palace Knights who will be mixed in under the pretext of material support?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
For half a year, the SS only focused on training.
As a result, not only individual prowess, but also the strength of the unit unit has significantly improved.
The leader of the Blue Lions, Kielus, was surprised.
“The armament preparation is perfect, so you don’t have to worry about this part.”
“Good. Next, report the status of the mage unit, Hella.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”

Listening to the report about the SS, I was lost in thought for a while.
It was none other than Ronberg.
‘This has made it clear. They’re intentionally conserving power.’
The proof was that he did not participate in the subjugation of Henrik.
Not getting a spoon in a war where victory was certain was also giving up the spoils of war.
‘Their real purpose is to weaken Yorgil and Solstad’s power.’
Perhaps, I thought that Ronberg might have understood my true intentions to some extent.
By not participating in the war, it may be possible to induce the kingdom to participate in the war.
‘It doesn’t matter anyway. As long as I know their true goal, the probability of attacking the kingdom is low.’
First of all, it had to be done successfully.
Only then can we contact the Western Warriors and investigate the Old Gods.
Since he’s even considering stepping on other giant families, it’s probably not an ordinary power.
percussion.
After the report was over, I tapped the table lightly to draw attention.
“After the raid a month later, the kingdom will face a long war.”
It was bound to be different from when dealing with the Resurrection Church and the Gangma Tribe.
At that time, it was about how quickly the enemy could be cleared, and it was far from a war on which the fate of the kingdom depended.
“So far, the kingdom has rapidly increased its power by filling in the missing parts, but it is still not enough.”
This was all the more so because it was a fight taking place on the Feyer continent.
It was because it was not a situation where they were simply concentrating on defense to protect the kingdom.
“So, make sure everyone is prepared and prepared.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“The number one reason we fight shouldn’t be past grudges.”
It was also a declaration to himself.
It was a kind of pledge to not become buried in emotions and become a vengeful demon.
“Let everyone keep in mind that the first step is to stand up to protect the future.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
* * *
A month and a week had passed since the war with Henrik began.
Although the delivery of the goods the kingdom had promised to give was delayed than planned.
Here, Savalun’s chief of defense, Rohil Yorgil, did not complain much.
“But it seems like you’re trying to tell it to me.”
“Of course I have to do it. No matter how lowly the eastern continent bastards don’t know the subject, they’ll keep what they say.”
At the subordinate’s words, Rohill nodded without saying a word.
It was a war that started on the premise that it would not be received, but it could not be denied that receiving it was a great benefit.
“No, actually, what do you call a benefit? Because of the Kingdom guys, Henrik has prepared quite a bit too.”
“Don’t talk like that outside, there was an order from the head of the family not to pretend to be with the kingdom.”
“Yes, chief.”
“It gets tricky when they change their minds and get in the way.”
“That’s right, the Lonbergs aren’t even stepping out… … .”
He meant that he would strike the kingdom anyway, but not now.
“Are the guards okay?”
“Of course, I have increased the range and troops more than usual.”
“The enemy may be targeting the supply line. Don’t let your guard down.”
“Yes, chief. Then let’s go.”
Sabalun, which Rohil Yorgil was in charge of, was a kind of intermediate base.
The allied forces of Solstad and Yorgil had to pass through this place to hit Henrik.
In other words, if there was a problem here, it was as good as breaking the waist.
“Captain, the Kingdom Army has arrived.”
“Okay, I’ll be leaving soon.”
Rohil Yorgil, who took an escort out, faced the 2 princes.
Then, naturally, he looked around.
It was because the atmosphere felt from them somewhere was cheap.
2 Even if the prince is coming, is it necessary to bring this many soldiers when he is coming to deliver supplies?
“Nice to meet you, are you the captain of the defense here?”
“Yes, Your Highness. It is called Rohil Yorgil.”
“I’ve heard of Rohill. He said he was the second cousin of the head of household.”
“It is an honor to be recognized.”
“Somehow, the size of the National Guard is smaller than I heard. What’s wrong?”
“Yes, it’s the day we bring in supplies, so we’re more concerned about the outside boundaries.”
“It’s good, you mean the inner boundary is less than usual.”
“… … yes?”
Cheak-!
Rahoth’s sword, suddenly swung, cut through Rohill’s body.
At the same time, the other guards also started attacking the soldiers around them.
Rohill, with a gaping chest, cried out, bleeding.
“What is this now… … !?”

As if there was no need for a conversation, Lahos cut Roheel in two with a sword wrapped in a red aura.
