Chapter 248 – Sangvis Marquis
Currently, the South was being quickly cleared.
Maya Thoth ascended to the throne, and the Thoth family was rapidly recovering from chaos.
The remaining Confederate Nobles are also unable to recover from the damage they suffered during the Christ Tote War. In that state, the war began without proper preparation for the fast movements of Aidan and Earl Harry, and they were eventually defeated.
In fact, there are families that started a war and perished, but the number is by no means large.
Baron Aslan and Baron Larson were both killed by me, but there was also a problem with red blood, and in this case, if you end the lineage of too many aristocratic families, the power of the entire South will be cut.
In fact, they do not touch the estates of nobles who have surrendered.
Of course, reorganization is essential, so there are cases where their territory is reduced, but they proceeded by force for a quick cleanup in the south.
The reorganized South ended the war with this.
And the question of the principality remained.
“The founding of the country.”
Make the country
It becomes a vassal of the kingdom of Baheun, but is not directly governed.
There’s also the geographical issue, but the southern… The pride of the aristocrats of the Kingdom of Brahms found it difficult to accept such a form.
“Actually, accepting this country as a whole is a burden even in Barheun Kingdom. It is natural.”
As Amelia said, existing political issues or factions formed within the kingdom will be shaken, so only the form is subject to the end, and we walk our own path.
It is not simply the strength of magical power that divides the ranks from count to royalty, but the difference in the characteristics that make up magical power.
It’s just a matter of individuality, where there are times when you’re at a disadvantage because your characteristics are strong.
“You can call me king right now.”
The conversation between the aides has already ended.
I looked at the people around me.
“Marquis of Agrylppa.”
“Hamyeong-eul.”
The Marquis of Agrylppa bowed his head at my call.
A sign that you are dealing with a new lord, no longer the same noble.
“Please prepare new laws and rules for this country.”
“I take orders.”
“And Count Franz, Count Bohrin.”
Two people whose eyes met at my calling.
These two should be the new pillars of this country.
With a slight smile on his lips, he spoke as if teasing the two of them.
“I won’t be a count forever.”
“It’s hard to pretend to be proud just because your younger brother has been elevated to the title by himself… Great. A little bit Let’s try it.”
Haha. It’s good. Not good It’s a family whose names are side by side, but it tastes like it should go up to the duke. Let’s try it!”
The two of them answered my words with a grin.
Both the Franz lineage and the Boring lineage have maintained the count level for a long time.
In fact, the time has come for both families to rise from the ranks of counts.
“Step. Right now we are just Confederacy.”
The story of the founding of a nation came out, but in fact, a nation is not created in a day or two.
There is also the problem of the capital, and even the problem of internal factions and external forces.
There is a particularly big problem.
“This is the day we found our country.”
Pointed to the capital.
“The day we defeat King Bastien is the time of the true founding of the country.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused.
“Until this day comes. We need the strength of all of you.”
Nod your head at my words.
The day to truly rule this land.
That is the day to defeat the ruler of this land.
Still of royal blood. Brinear’s name touches the hearts of everyone in the land to the deepest depths.
Even if I found a country here, the influence would not be properly exerted.
To become the true ruler of this land, you must defeat the current ruler.
“The capital has not yet moved.”
The Boring family in charge of the capital reports.
The gates of the capital are still closed.
“As expected, the king is waiting.”
I nodded my head at Marquis Agrylppa’s words.
“You’re waiting for someone who can truly oppose you to appear.”
“Hunting smallfish only increases hunger. He now awaits a single prey that will end the chaos of the land.”
The new ruler of this land.
Or is it that hunger cannot be quenched unless it is a person whose name should be raised like the Grand Duke of the North?
“Then I have to show you.”
He becomes the ruler of this land and decides.
The first goal for that was set.
“The Sangvis Marquis of the East, Kilias.”
The time has come to confront.
* * *
Blood is life.
Blood is important.
It is also blood that separates the possession of magical power.
“Ahhh… !”
She is a beautiful beauty
Flowery age. Her appearance bloomed like a gorgeous flower, and she was a maiden who begged her breasts to the village youth who met her eyes whenever she passed her way.
But the girl was dying now.
“Please…”
Crawling across the slippery floor with her trembling hands, she stretched out her hand as if begging for help.
Although she was a village girl, her skin, which had been decorated in her own way, was white to the point of turning pale, and the withered girl moaned helplessly.
Took.
Her outstretched arm caught on something in her.
The frog-like pupils tremble to confirm its identity.
“Hick… !”
It was also her virgin.
A beautiful, blooming young girl.
The girl, too, was slumped on her floor, her white face, looking up at her ceiling.
Her eyes looking up were unfocused.
“Ah… Ugh… !”
It was dead
The woman’s body felt so cold in her maiden hand.
A fear that would happen any moment enveloped her maiden.
“Save me, save me… !”
How did it happen?
Before she could even think of that, the strength in her maiden body was gradually draining.
In the place where the important blood vessels in her body passed, her blood was gradually draining due to a very thinly carved wound.
Without pain.
Only the sensation of the blood flowing out of her body was so sensitive that it was deeply imprinted in her soul.
Tears are flowing in her maiden eyes.
A gradual cooling sensation. She feels her body lose strength. In her fading consciousness, her maiden, like the woman she had touched, stared at the ceiling in a fading consciousness, she collapsed helplessly.
“Mom… ! Dad…”
The maiden, whose consciousness was fading away, died like that.
The blood imbued with fear and despair flows along the traces on the floor.
Drop, drop… !
The blood produced in this type of blood factory is gathered in one place.
Sangvis Marquis Kilias holds a wine glass and turns the valve.
Jureureuk-!
Kilias, who poured the blood flowing through the open space into a cup, smelled the scent.
Even the disgusting smell of blood smells like the finest cooking scent to him.
Blood magic.
Why is it called the Iron Blooded Marquis?
Blood is his life and magic.
“Hmm. Good, good Don’t you think so?”
Smelling the fishy smell of blood, he swallows the blood with a cruel smile.
I took a sip and savored the blood rolling in my mouth like wine.
It comes into his body with vitality and strength.
One person was watching such a disgusting appearance.
“Your Excellency, Marquis.”
“How is it? Would you like a drink too?”
At the words of Marquis Kilias, his retainers shook their heads.
“Thank you, but I think I should report it now.”
“Report? Is there anything I can do now?”
Marquis Kilias said while looking at the blood dripping from his wine glass.
“The South is definitely a threat, but it hasn’t been cleaned up yet, right?”
I’m not being careless.
The Marquis of Kilias was also thinking of a way to deal with them.
“Tsk. I had to deal with it before the South was cleared. All because it’s not your turn to act rashly for that mad king.”
“… Sorry.”
At the words of Marquis Kilias, the vassal bowed his head.
It was the choice of the Marquis of Kilias to hide himself, feeling nervous about what kind of move the mad king would make.
However, even if I said that, it wouldn’t work, so the vassal stayed still.
“It is said that the Marquis of Agrylppa went that way too, and it won’t be defeated by the sidelines…”
Although the eastern part is deserted and the population is small, he is still in charge of a province.
The number of nobles under the Marquis of Kilias was by no means small.
“As expected, we have to move before the mad king moves.”
Marquis Kilias said, drinking from a cup of blood.
As he said, Dongbu has already started to move.
Sooner or later, the invasion of the South was planned. All preparations were completed accordingly.
Looking at the Marquis of Kilias, the vassal opened his mouth.
“There were traces from the direction of Serot Church.”
“What? Why are they?”
At the report of the vassal, the Marquis of Kilias frowned.
Kwajik!
The wine glass in his hand shatters and falls.
“I’m looking into the details, but… Maybe.”
“It must be obvious. Southern guys… !”
Drops of blood flowed down his hand and slowly seeped into his skin.
The Marquis of Killias clicked his tongue.
“Done. They’re starving anyway. No matter what the South paid, there will be few forces that can actually move.”
It doesn’t matter if the land is taken away from there.
“We will get our hands on it. Can’t we live in a place where only dust blows?”
“That’s right.”
Marquis Kilias looked at the map.
The preparations for dealing with the southerners are over.
“The Serot Religion has decided to moderate the confrontation. What matters is the south. Once I get the land in the capital and the south, I will become the true king of the land.”
Marquis Kilias smiled.
A smile that smells like blood.
