Chapter 949 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (7)
“Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Empire is said to be using a bizarre trick.”
“Couldn’t it be that he was frightened by that ridiculous rumor and didn’t attack? Jim has heard about him too. It’s obviously a lie. It’s painful to lose your family name so absurdly, but it’s a ridiculous will spread by an enemy country. Isn’t it a bit scary to believe in Beer?”
“Your Majesty, this is not a rumor at all unreliable. A video of the scene at the time remains.”
“…Do you have a video?”
“Yes! The Emperor of the Empire may have made a pact with the devil!”
The growth of an empire developing at a breakneck pace.
No matter how smart the emperor was, it was an unusually fast development.
And if it is related to the devil, it becomes an understandable situation.
“The rumor that the emperor of the empire who made a pact with the devil invaded to destroy the Geos Empire may be true.”
The nobles were afraid of dealing with the emperor of the empire who had contracted with the devil.
How great was the scar left by the existence of the devil in the human world from ancient times?
“The Emperor of the Empire may not be something we deal with.”
“Your Majesty, announce to the whole world that the devil has appeared and seek help from the temple.”
The nobles of the Geos Empire were thinking of driving the emperor of the empire to a demon contractor.
Before I could gather more reinforcements, I didn’t want to run into an army led by the devil and be torn apart.
“…Do you think it’s possible?”
It couldn’t be easy to make the emperor of the empire a demon contractor.
However, if this succeeds, the Geos Empire may not only win the war, but also turn crisis into opportunity.
Then, in history, wouldn’t he be evaluated not as an incompetent king, but as a wise emperor who saved the world?
“It’s possible. As long as there is a video, priests will have no choice but to come forward.”
“Okay. Instead, move as quickly as possible. Even now, the lives of the people are defending the empire.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve believed in a noble.
Emperor Geos disapproved of the nobles and found it hard to believe, but he was relieved that he was still willing to do anything to win the war.
‘I was worried that those incompetent guys wouldn’t move their heavy bodies even if the country collapsed, but they do.’
It was a problem that they considered their own safety more important than that of the country, but the method they brought was a move that the emperor thought could change the game of war, so he decided to acknowledge it.
‘If only I succeed…’
It seemed that he could change his thoughts about the pathetic nobles a little.

“The Emperor of the Empire is someone we have been keeping an eye on for a long time.”
“You were watching?”
“Because there was something strange about the things he did, starting with his appearance.”
It’s a neatly organized past, but rather suspicious because it’s so neat.
And after becoming the emperor, he even did something unusual by taking in 3,000 women and making them his concubines.
“I think there was a time when I thought that the emperor of the empire might have colluded with the devil.”
“It just went well. If the one who shows such bizarre power is not a demon contractor, what is it?”
Even at the words of the Geos nobleman, the priest spoke in a calm voice.
“We kept an eye on the 3,000 concubines of the Emperor of the Empire. How they are doing in the imperial family. Somehow, they don’t go missing without anyone knowing.”
“If he’s a bastard, he certainly wouldn’t have left the concubines unattended. It might be an offering to the devil!”
“Yes, I suspected that.”
If they made a contract with the devil, the 3,000 concubines would have become the devil’s prey unconditionally.
“Fortunately, this was a misunderstanding. The concubines are still doing well within the imperial family, and not a single one of them has lost their lives or suddenly changed their personality.”
Rather, there were people who ate and lived well in the imperial palace and gained weight.
He even secretly let a woman in as a spy, but there was a time when he was in trouble after spending a night with the emperor and completely falling in love with him.
“Of course, there was no problem with the emperor’s children. I checked each and every one of them on the pretext of baptizing them. They were healthy babies with no problems.”
“Mystic!!! So what do you want to talk about with me now!!”
The Geos Empire listened to the priest’s words and felt that things were going badly.
“I know very well why the Geos Empire wants to drive the emperor to become a demon contractor. But don’t you see us too easily?”
The gentle priest’s expression became fishy.
“You’re thinking of moving our temple just this much.”
“That, that…Is this not enough!?”
“This is a game-changing event. If we don’t act, the defeat of the Geos Empire is virtually certain!”
Trying to get out of the country’s crisis with just a few pennies.
The priest couldn’t help but laugh at the aristocrats of Geos who were too clumsy even for clumsy people.
“Even if you bring me half of the country, it won’t be enough… Tsk tsk. You don’t even know how to trade. I’ll give you one more chance. I hope you come with proper trading conditions then.”
Bang-!
The Geos noble could not easily get up from his seat in the office left alone.
“How could a priest called… How could he!!!”
The Geos nobleman had his face red as if he had been severely insulted.
On the subject of the priest being corrupt and accepting money, didn’t he bargain for the country?
“Give me half of the country? A thug like a robber… A guy who’ll be struck by lightning and fried to death…!!!”
It was never something he dared to say in the temple, but the Geos noble did not care and expressed his resentment with abusive language.
Anger surged up, but unfortunately, the priest’s words like a sharp robbery had some truth.
What will happen to the future of the Geos Empire if it loses this war?
The splendid and great Geos Empire will become a vassal state of one country, and all glory will be taken away by the empire.
‘There is no other way. There’s a way…!’
I thought the temple was too easy.
Judging from the wealth brought by the aristocrats and their refusal to take notice of them, it seemed that they were not planning to make the emperor of the empire a demonic contractor unless they really gave away half of the country.
‘Is it good for the temple if the empire wins? No, there is no benefit. But the problem is that prolonging the war itself is an overwhelming benefit to the temple.’
The temple had no reason to end the war early by siding with the Geos Empire for just a few pennies.
The longer the war lasts, the greater the amount of money each country will receive.
‘I’m not really asking for half the land. They say they need a bigger justification to move them…’
What the hell should I bring to the greedy temple?
Since the temple is well aware of the difficult situation in the Geos Empire, you probably know that there are many parts that can be eaten.
All kinds of wolves were approaching to devour the flesh of the Geos Empire.
The nobleman was at a loss as to how to tell the emperor that the temple was greedy for much more than he thought.
The anxiety of the Geos nobles was growing.
“…So you were rejected? Does that mean the temple won’t move even if he’s a real demon contractor?”
“At least that seems to be the case now that the war has begun.”
“It’s not even funny to see the servants of God blinded by riches.”
It was nothing short of embarrassing.
The only promising way to win the war was to win the temple to the side.
“Covering half of the real land is probably not what the temple wants.”
“What if?”
“It’s probably asking for more. That’s not enough.”
“I have to invest a little more…? How greedy will the temple be?”
“Actually, the corruption of the temple is not a matter of a day or two. The people do not know much about it, but their greed is increasing day by day.”
“Imperial people are bleeding and falling, but the temple guys are filling their pockets to their stomach.”
When you go to war, there are wounded, and you need a priest to treat those wounded.
The temple was one of the groups that made the biggest profit in the war by holding hostages called ‘cures’.
Even when the war broke out this time, the organization that cheered the most was probably the temple?
It was too bullying to be a temple that enshrines a god.
‘The temple is hard to touch. How can I touch the overwhelming monotheistic religion of the people?’
If we stay still, the country will be taken away by the empire, and in the end, the only place Emperor Geos could hold hands was the temple.
“If they really want to split the country in half and get it, we have no choice but to say we will.”
“Your Majesty! Such nonsense! You don’t have to take the temple bastards seriously!”
“No, you have to seriously think about it. Of course, you can’t give away half of the real land. But it’s certain that you have to prepare an equivalent reward.”
“I’d rather be defeated by the Empire!”
Emperor Geos sighed at the nobleman’s words.
I wasn’t sure if it was right to protect the country of Geos even if I gave the temple half of the empire, or if it was better to lose the war against the empire.
“I don’t know what the Empire wants from us.
Furthermore, contact with Bianca, who defected to the Empire, was suddenly cut off.
Emperor Geos was so worried about it that he was in trouble lately.
‘If he even laid a hand on Bianca…!!’
I will never forgive the Emperor of the Empire.
As the noble said, it might be better to just lose the war and become a subject with a huge amount of reparations.
If half of the country was taken away by the temple, would that be the end?
The greedy ones will be in a hurry to eat the rest.
Nevertheless, there was one reason why Emperor Geos did not cut off the connection with the temple.
Before choosing between the two, he needed to make sure that Bianca was all right.
