Inside the Broken War of Bahara.
juggling
Ian put on the robes of the king of Bahara and walked along the red carpet.
Behind him, the cloak of the first king stretched and dragged to the ground.
It had not yet been properly repaired and was half broken, but at the end of the red carpet, the warriors of Bahara were lined up in a long line.
That was the moment.
“Hold on!”
His warriors raised their weapons against him.
chuck!
Axes that were cruel to look at soared into the sky.
that[Blood Path] is also famous in the silver Bahara.
It was heading for the coronation through the ax dripping with goat blood. But it wasn’t just a ceremony. From the real warriors, I could feel the strong momentum that seemed to cut Ion at any moment.
I had no choice but to do so.
‘Are these the surviving royal warriors?’
From https://noblemtl.com
Most of the warriors died at the hands of Arak.
However, there were survivors among the personnel who were outside. These are the last gates that test who will become kings.
He was doing his best even for his colleagues who had died first.
Oooh!
However, Lee Eon rather suppressed the momentum of
‘This is a test given to me. You must not seek help from anyone.’
It was the same no matter what
I don’t know if it’s a battle with the Seven Great Master Musicians or the 2nd Prince who uses the [Sword of Domination].
I couldn’t get any help from him until this point.
It was the same with the newly acquired
‘He who will become a king must prove himself.’
Thanks to
I had to endure this test on my own.
So, Ion moved forward with an expression of no problem.
bum bum.
With every step he took, the ax rested on his head shook.
It’s like an atmosphere that won’t be strange at any time.
No, in reality, Ian was just giving up his head now.
‘Some of the kings of Bahara have died at this moment.’
Take a step forward, but never be vigilant.
It shouldn’t be slow either.
‘Passing the [Blood Path] without knowing when it will be aimed at one’s own neck.’
It was to see the qualities of a strong king that Bahara wanted.
Had it been that long?
It was when Ian soon reached the door at the end of the [Blood Road].
“Haab!”
An ax fell over his head.
A blow aimed at Ion’s negligence.
But his hand was already holding the dagger from his waist.
visor!
Ion’s dagger reached the neck of the warrior who was about to hit the ax at him.
If you swing the ax like this, both of you might die.
But the warrior did not move.
creepy
It was because Ion was staring at him with a cold force. It was as if he knew everything.
At that glance, the warrior lowered his ax to the ground.
thud!
Then he knelt down, grabbing the hilt of the ax with both his hands.
“Honor our king!”
No, it wasn’t over.
All the warriors who were making [Path of Blood] put their axes down on the ground and knelt down and shouted.
“Respect!”
Ion did not stop his steps even in front of the goddamn axe.
He was not vigilant in the sudden attack.
Even more so, as if predicting that the warrior would attack, he drew his dagger and fought back.
So it was recognized by all royal warriors.
“The one who walked the bloody road!”
“You have proven yourself. Anyone objecting to this decision! You will not be unharmed before our axe!”
The warriors bowed their heads, not just their knees.
“I swear allegiance to the new king of Bahara!”
He recognized him from the depths of his heart.
Seeing this, Ian put his dagger back into his waist. And he was polite to them as well.
He gave a brief bow to the warriors.
nodding
And without hesitation he turned back.
‘Is this the end of the [Path of Blood] trial?’Becoming a king now had only one final step left.
Ion, leaving his warriors behind, stood at the door and shouted.
“Open the door!”
Good profit!
At his command, the door at the end of the [Blood Road] began to slowly open.
*
“Your Majesty is entering!”
It was the royal terrace where Balrog could be seen clearly.
It was also the place where major royal ceremonies were held. waiting for him there.
“Waah
“Long live His Majesty Ian!”
Tens of thousands of Baharan people are screaming. It was the people waiting for Ian’s coronation.
And Chief Antum raised his voice in front of Ion.
“Ian Kai Stein, come forward and get down on his knees.”
Ion slowly passed Antum chieftain and knelt before a man on one of his knees.
He is the one holding the crown.
It was because of the tradition that the strongest warrior wore the crown.
But there was actually one problem.
‘Usually, the previous king or the first warrior takes over the position.’
But now both are down.
There is no one left to hand over the crown to Ion.
At least there was a Yamanta lord that everyone in Bahara could recognize.
[sorry. I have already lost once to your Majesty. That’s a fact that the whole Bahara already knew. I am not qualified.]
The same was true of the twenty-five chiefs.
[It would be a disgrace, not an honor, to crown him who broke us and our army. It can never be.]
Thanks to this, an unexpected person had no choice but to be crowned.
It was only natural for the people of Bahara to cry out at the person who brought the crown to Ian.
“The author is that…”
“It is a blue storm! Kaistein’s blue devil is being crowned!”
“Oh My God! Is the author the best knight on the continent?”
The Duke of Lavaltor.
Because the man most feared of the Baharans was holding the crown.
A foreign person crowns a Baharan, even a non-Baharan.
But no one followed it.
“The strongest knight!”
“The greatest knight on the continent has recognized our king!”
“It is an achievement that no other king has ever achieved!”
Rather, they were cheering.
I had no choice but to do so.
‘The Bahara worships the strong.’
In addition, the heroic side of Ion and the legend that warms his heart.
Rather, because it was Lavaltor, who was called Kaistein’s blue devil, the coronation ceremony had to be hotter.
Of course, it was the same for Duke Lavaltor.
‘I hope I will be able to do this.’
The Duke of Lavaltor did not like these formal occasions.
He is a knight.
‘Cause I was just disgusted with politics.
And yet he was here now.
It was because of what Ian said.
[Please take care of my coronation.]
At first, of course, I tried to refuse.
But Ian made it impossible to refuse.
[Do you have to pay off the debt?]
[Am I still in debt to you? I think that’s all I paid for it.]
[Let’s call it future debt. If the Duke intends to subdue Cantum.]
[!?]
It is the long-cherished wish of the Duke of Lavaltor.
continental unification.
Because he was the Duke of Lavaltor, who helped King Elaine in the past to unify the continent.
[Is he not satisfied with being king of the Bahara?]
[The Bahara is only a middle bridge. I will become the king of Kaistein.]
[!?]
[And uniting this continent into one. And in the vanguard, the peacockI wish there was Lavaltor.]
From https://noblemtl.com
More than anyone else, his heart could only be shaken.
Although he was a duke who would have wielded his sword if anyone else had told him not to gossip. He couldn’t ignore Ian’s words.
He actually conquered Bahara, and of course he also captured the Crown Prince of Cantum.
Ian’s words were enough to warm his heart again.
‘I thought it was a vain dream, but now I can hear it again…’
When Kaistein united the continent, it became an empire of the kingdom. And become the number one country on the continent.
Then, of course, the Duke of Lavaltor also became the best knight on the continent.
Now it’s just words. In fact, it could have been.
Duke Laval Thor shook his head.
‘You certainly know how to deal with people.’
Is it his father’s son?
Still, it was something to look forward to on the other side of his chest.
‘Even at this age, my heart will still tremble.’
His shaky eyes turned to Ian, who was waiting for the crown.
‘I really miss you. With my own two eyes, you are unifying this continent.’
However, Duke Lavaltor has not forgotten his mission now. He focused on the words of Antum, the Bahara chief, who was heard next to him.
“Now put your crown on your majesty.”
And at that very moment.
The crown that was in the hands of Duke Lavaltor was placed on Ion.
Then Chief Antum cried out.
“A new king of the Bahara has been born! Ian Kaistein! worship him! Shout out the name of our king!”
Then a loud noise shook the Balrog.
“Long live His Majesty Ian!”
“The new king of the Bahara! hurray!”
As a result, everyone recognized him as the king of Bahara.
Ion smiled and waved his hand toward the people.

The coronation ceremony ended quickly.
But it wasn’t all over yet.
While sitting on the throne, Ian summoned all the key personnel.
“Are you all gathered?”
“Yes. your majesty.”
Beside him, Bahara as well as the key members of Kaistein who were with Ian bowed their heads.
All the ones he called.
Nathan was surprised to see that.
“Are you going to see government affairs already? How about taking a little break? You must not have been tired yet.”
“I have no time to rest now.”
“!?”
Because he wasn’t going to be in the Bahara for a while. So he had to quickly pick a replacement to take his place.
So he called the one in the most corner.
“Prince Olak. I will entrust you as regent.”
“!?”
For a moment, the battle roared.
Olak is the one who will hand over the throne to Ion and dethrone the princely position.
He entrusted a regent to such a man.
‘What the hell is this?’
‘This is absurd…’
Of course, Prince Olak had proven himself in the Bahara.
He has a heart for the people, as well as the abdication of the throne.
But his position as regent was special.
‘A regent is a place that takes the place of a king. To give it to Prince Olak in such a place.’
But Ian’s attitude was firm.
“Prince Olach is the one who cares and loves Bahara more than anyone else. Then he can be trusted even in my absence.”
“Hey, hey. your majesty.”
“If not, would you assume the position of regent? Chief Antum?”
“!?”
Antum quickly bowed his head.
No matter how he was, he could not bear the weight of the position of regent.
But it wasn’t Olak.
“your majesty. A body that I had to give up as a warrior.I can’t stand such a heavy seat…”
“Don’t worry. I won’t let you do it alone.”
Ian immediately announced the next appointment, as if he had expected Olak to object.
“In addition, I will raise the Yamanta Castle Lord to the first battlefield, and recognize the position of the 25 chieftains as they are.”
It was a series of extraordinary greetings.
Usually, when they conquer a country, they take up a major position as their henchman. It was because Ian jumped over that and kept the existing Bahara.
Everyone couldn’t help but be surprised by Ian’s distribution.
“Can you trust us?”
“If this happens, the second Arak may come out again…”
It could be dangerous for Baharans who were not Kaystein’s to take on key positions.
But Ian smiled.
“You swore allegiance to me. And I believe in it. Or should I doubt you?”
Ion slowly picked up the royal sword that was next to him.
No, it didn’t end with just picking it up.
Shreung!
Above all else, a heavy and hard sword was revealed.
If you’re thinking of treason, do it quickly.
The chiefs waved their hands at the will to make them just like Arak.
“Well, that’s not it.”
“Then wouldn’t that happen? I believe in you more than anyone. They just have to focus on their work.”
The chiefs quickly agreed to Ion’s words.
Everyone saw Ion fighting the devil. He was greedy, and he knew for sure what was going to happen.
Ian put a sword into their figure.
‘It’s not completely done yet.’
There was something more important.
That’s Kaistein’s contention and Kantum’s handling of the Crown Prince.
‘By now, everyone must be vigilant knowing that I gave up on Kaistein’s throne.’
Everyone will.
Now that he has become the king of a country, he is probably thinking that he has forgotten about his homeland.
In fact, it was not the end of appointing a regent, but there was much left to be done here as a king.
‘It doesn’t matter because I thought of a different way.’
What was important was how to quickly return to Kaistein.
Fortunately, he had a very special means of transportation.
So there was only one thing to do now.
“Bring the Prince of Cantum.”
“Yes. your majesty!”
His enemy aimed at the resonance of Kaistenin and Bahara.
And it was to bring the first public servant who would make him gain his throne.
