50. Establishment of the Human Federation! (3)
The East Continent was excited by the alliance formed by Kariel and the heads of the countries on the East Continent.
It was certainly impressive that the heads of the two continents, who were at odds with each other, had a meeting and decided to move together by making a public enemy.
Nevertheless, the confusion was due to the public enemy of Roman, who had reigned as the head of the East Continent for a long time.
It was because the unified country of the Western Continent and the countries close to half of the Eastern Continent had formed an alliance, so for the remaining countries, it was like a fire in their feet. Then, the countries in the central region had sharp internal disagreements.
“Join the Human League!”
“Sign up!”
Protests began to break out all over the countries in the central region, except Roman.
It was to join the Human Federation before you know when you will become an enemy of mankind and start a war.
However, the kings who had already signed a contract with the demons could not accept it.
If it were only them, they would have joined the Human League even by committing treason, but since all of the high-ranking nobles signed contracts with the demons, they were ignoring the people’s demands.
Some countries even forcibly suppressed people who came to protests.
Then the demonstrators resisted even more fiercely.
What used to be peaceful protesters has turned into a resistance force.
And just at this time, Ignit moved.
“The Empire is offering help?”
“exactly. You have started a fight for humanity, so of course, as the Human Federation, we must help.”
At the suggestion of the empire’s shadow, the rebels in a small country on the eastern continent looked bewildered.
“What is that… … ?”
“It is proof that your king made a contract with the demons.”
At the words of the shadow, the leader of the resistance faction examined the data he handed over. And it started to tremble.
I honestly had my doubts.
Most people in the East Continent thought that the central countries had joined hands with the demons. However, I couldn’t hold back my anger as the vague doubts came to reality.
“Are other countries like this?”
“I will.”
At the words of the shadow, the leader of the resistance gnashed his teeth.
“Why didn’t the Human League announce this?”
To be honest, even if Ignit announced it, it was enough.
However, the effect is halved. The biggest thing is to make the resistance groups in each country aware of this fact and encourage the people to join the rebels more.
As a result, the central region of the eastern continent falls into chaos, and in the meantime, the empire attacks Roman.
This was the best way.
“Because you want your country to get out of this crisis on its own.”
“What is that… … ?”
“Of course I will help. However, it is the will of His Majesty the Emperor that a country’s sovereignty is valuable when it escapes a crisis on its own.”
When it was revealed that it was Kariel’s will, the head of the resistance opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the shadow.
It is meaningless to rely only on other countries.
If they truly want their country to be free from the corrupt king, they must stand up for themselves.
“Please tell Your Majesty that I am grateful.”
When the leader of the resistance lowered his head and spoke, the shadow also lowered his head and spoke one last time.
“Support materials will secretly arrive at this base over the course of 15 days.”
“All right.”
“Please achieve what you want… … .”
The shadow said so and disappeared.
* * *
The head of the resistance, who had been staring blankly at his spot for a while, finally moved.
In order for their country with a long history to survive, it is justified that the current king must be overthrown.
it was secured
The reason why most of the people were confused, but couldn’t easily join the resistance.
That is because their king may have made a choice for the country, and because of the long history of working with Roman.
However, the situation changed when the announcement of the insurgents broke out.
“Good luck.”
Hearing the shadow’s report, Kariel smiled.
Fortunately, resistance forces emerged in time and secured an area in which Kariel could move.
“If it had been a little later, this kind of confusion would have been difficult.”
Kariel nodded as if agreeing with Tarion’s words.
In fact, from the perspective of the imperial officials, they did not rush, but slowly tried to launch a strategy on the central power of the eastern continent.
This is because there was a record of failure after recklessly hitting funds without preparation.
But Kariel pushed on.
And that the judgment was correct was confirmed by the report just now.
“We need to move more boldly before the demons resort to countermeasures.”
“Yes.”
Tarion bowed his head in response to Kariel’s command.
From the perspective of bureaucrats who value stability, they pursue a more perfect operation.
However, in the eyes of Kariel, who was receiving all the reports and grasping the overall flow, it was necessary to move a little faster.
“Looking at his actions these days, he doesn’t seem like the emperor of Rome.”
At Tarion’s words, Kariel also nodded slightly.
The one who tormented him countless times in his previous life was the current emperor of Rome.
A yangban who was clever enough to resemble a pope is being helpless like this?
That means there are other plans.
“Maybe I’m drawing a bigger picture… … .”
“You mean the big picture?”
At Tarion’s question, Kariel nodded slightly.
If he was the Roman emperor he knew, he wouldn’t be so weak. But leave it to the demons and leave yourself behind?
I had to see that I was drawing a bigger picture.
“Looking at the big picture drawn by the Roman emperor, the current problem was seen as trivial.”
“Even though the fate of your country is at stake?”
Kariel smiled at Tarion’s words.
“It’s fate… … . That might not be it.”
“… … Yes?”
“The conviction that we can survive even if we attack with all our might. It must be because of that that I am standing by like this.”
At Kariel’s words, Tarion tilted his head with an expression that he did not understand.
“I need to put more power into the iron wall.”
“In that case, there could be a security vacuum.”
“You have to accept that much.”
Saying that, Kariel took out a notebook from the drawer and drew out the plan she had made with a pen.
“Fortnight. We will launch an all-out attack in it.”
“Isn’t it too urgent? It would be good to wait for the central region of the eastern continent to ripen a little longer. In addition, there is confusion within Roman.”
Tarion’s words made sense.
Outwardly, the circumstances were absolutely advantageous to Ignit.
However, looking at Roman’s previous steps, he had no choice but to think the opposite.
‘I can’t play as Emperor Roman intended.’
Kariel frowned at the thought of Emperor Roman, who would be laughing while passing the time, and asked Tarion.
“How is the contact with the nomadic tribes going?”
“Currently, consultations with the nomadic tribes in the eastern end are over. Most of the other tribes in the vicinity are also sympathetic to the danger of the demons. The problem is the Golan.”
At Tarion’s words, Kariel nodded as if expecting.
“Isn’t it attached to demons?”
“Yes, but they say they don’t know why they have to fight Roman.”
At Tarion’s words, Kariel nodded as if she knew that.
The current head of the Golan was a guy who knew how to roll his head.
From his point of view, it was better for the demons to appear.
All tribes comparable to the present Golan are near the Roman border. However, the area suspected of having demons was around that area.
“Golan later. It’s enough to keep reminding other tribes that demons are dangerous.”
The Golan will think that the moment the tribes comparable to them are defeated by the demons, there is a possibility to unite the nomadic tribes that were torn into hundreds.
So, there is absolutely no way to move until the demons start moving.
It was certain that he had already shown similar movements in his previous life.
“Will this be okay?”
“They will move on their own when demons appear. They stop at this line.”
“Yes.”
After finishing the problem with the nomads, Kariel sighed.
“What is Roman’s intention?”
Cariel muttered like that and thought about it from Roman’s point of view.
‘The risk is too great to simply attract the legions of the demon realm.’
Kariel thought for a moment.
In the notebook, the detailed military power of the demons that Kariel had seen in his previous life was already written.
You can think of the Demon Realm that made the ancient times terrible in the past, but surprisingly, it wasn’t that powerful.
Although it relied on the existence of Glenn, it was at a level that a half-shattered empire could withstand.
‘If the emperor of Roman is shrinking like this, it means at least that’s more… … .’
Since he couldn’t figure out what it was, it was difficult to hastily determine Roman’s strength.
So, there was only one thing I could do in this situation.
“Tell Marquis Sicario to join forces with the Pope. Glenn also leads the Imperial Palace Knights and some of the Capital Defense Knights to the Iron Wall.”
“Then the only Master left in the Empire is Sir Archelio and the Duke of Wilkshire.”
“Not enough.”
At Tarion’s worried voice, Kariel nodded as if she had had enough.
However, from the standpoint of Tarion, there was no choice but to worry.
Two masters remain in the capital, but the Duke of Walkshire was in a position to wander around because of the magic workshop.
In fact, when faced with a crisis, it is not possible to run immediately.
“There may be raids through the air as before.”
“In order to prepare for that, the Empire’s main air force is staying in the Central Army.”
“still… … .”
As if not to allow any objection, Kariel shook his head firmly.
In most cases, it was Kariel who accepted the opinions of ministers and bureaucrats, but he made decisive decisions in special circumstances.
And by this time, those decisions had hardly changed.
It was the same this time.
“Tarion, go and get ready. The chamberlain summons the foreign minister. The time has come for the Human Federation to move.”
“All right.”
“Yes.”
After receiving the order, Tarion and the chamberlain went outside.
And after a while, Kariel announced through the foreign minister that it was time for the Human Federation to move.
“At last the time has come to punish the enemies of mankind! We will punish the traitors who have betrayed humanity and are attached to the demons, and will not allow the demons to cross the continent!”
* * *
When Kariel directly declared that he would strike Roman at the square where the people of the empire gathered, other nations of the Human League also raised an army and declared that they would strike Roman.
Then, the first to move were the countries of the eastern continent.
The southern kingdoms began to attack the eastern countries.
Eastern countries resisted when they attacked under the pretext of punishing the royal family for making the wrong choice.
But they were bound to collapse quickly.
As the resistance inside caused chaos inside, it could not hold out for long and collapsed.
“It seems that the king and high-ranking nobles have already left.”
“Chit! Too bad.”
A man who seemed to be the commander clicked his tongue at the report of a knight.
This situation was the same in other small countries.
As if they knew this would happen, only they pulled themselves out and bounced off Roman.
But the problem is that they aren’t the only ones who jumped out.
Most of the troops in the occupied area were the only ones in the occupied area because they took all the elite troops of the small countries and bounced back to Roman.
All the riches were also carried and bounced, so it was not rewarding to occupy it.
Under these circumstances, the Empire’s attack finally began.
“You started faster than expected.”
“It seems that the Emperor of Ignit noticed.”
When the Emperor of Romans laughed and said that he was having fun, the kneeling wizard lowered his head and said.
“It’s a little disappointing, but this should be enough. Go and inform your chieftain. It’s time to move.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
