Chapter 579 – Salvation War! #10
As Keum Ha-rin became my woman, her self-affirmation stabilized.
Yuseong-gun, who swore allegiance to me but was a little wary of the monster army, also followed me when their commander-in-chief, Keum Harin, fully cooperated with me.
As a result, the people and soldiers in Jahu Castle were completely in their hands.
This is a huge benefit.
Isn’t it a situation where the troops with high morale have rolled in without being properly trained? Besides, Yoo Seong-gun knows how to deal with the military as he is the general’s disciple.
As it is, you can give orders to Yuseong-gun to clean up the surrounding cities. It will be over simply Because there is no place in the empire that is not corrupt. Even if there are guys who resist decently, it’s enough to send my main unit.
“Geum Harin. Bring out the map of the surrounding area.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Harin Keum took out her military map and spread it on her desk.
“From now on, you and Yoo Seong-gun must scatter in all directions and save the suffering people as soon as possible. Can you do it?”
“Yes!”
A confident answer.
“Please! I will make sure to exterminate these corrupt officials!”
“Yes. The level of the enemies is very low. If a well-armed army attacks, they will surrender right away. So it will be okay to divide the troops into small pieces.”
He even supplemented the explanation that my main unit would move at any time if there were any difficulties during the battle.
“Then there’s nothing to be afraid of. I’ll summon Yuseong-gun right away.”
Yuseong-gun was quickly summoned to see if Harin Geum was gaining trust as a great disciple.
I give orders to the guys gathered like that.
“Advance in all directions and save the city that is suffering from the tyranny of the officials! Save the people with your own hands and gather soldiers!”
“All right!”
“Leave only enough soldiers to maintain the minimum level of security in Jahu Castle! If you spread out in all directions anyway, you won’t be attacked!”
With Geum Ha-rin becoming my woman, I will be able to occupy the empire more quickly. At the same time, Vera’s army and elves were also entering the empire.
The more troops you can move, the faster it goes.
“Then I will tell you the military discipline that must be enforced in the occupied territory!”
Finally, military discipline training.
“Those who plunder the people must be beheaded in public! Even if they are famous soldiers or generals, it doesn’t matter! Those who witness this will also be beheaded in my name! We have come to save the people! It has nothing to do with management!”
“You’re right!”
When Geum Ha-rin shouted out in emotion, Yoo Seong-gun also nodded.
“Don’t touch the occupied people. And if you catch the official, arrest him and throw him alive to the people. We have to give him a chance to take revenge.”
“Yes!”
“Keep the property of the captured officials. Originally, it was right to distribute it to the people, but realistically, you can’t research and distribute it one by one during a war! Rather, it would be better to use it to destroy the imperial family to save more people. There is a way!”
“Yes!”
“Of course you have to help the starving people, so use that wealth to distribute food! Also, do everything you can to help them earn a living! The tax is fixed at 40%!”
That’s how I taught everyone strict military discipline, and ordered Geum Harin to prepare for her departure immediately.
“Then I’ll be back! Your Highness!”
“Save the world and come!”
Yoo Seong-gun was given command of a divided force of about 200 men each. Given the level here, 200 people is enough. In addition, I ordered Neckri to attach appropriate Dark Elf warriors to each unit.
If Dark Elf warriors who are stronger than Geum Harin, who trained in martial arts, assisted the troops, the occupation would be very easy. It would be possible to infiltrate the castle right away and open the gate.
“Jingun!”
Yuseong army, which left Jahuseong, began to march in all directions. They will occupy this area to organize their forces and strengthen their internal stability.
Meanwhile.
“I have to march toward the ecliptic with my children.”
My rear is Yuseong-gun and Vera-gun. And leave it to the elves. All I had to do was continue commanding the troops and head toward the ecliptic.

A large-scale rebellion continues.
Countless cities fell, which caused a noticeable drop in revenues for the court, but the officials did not want to be held accountable for this, so they manipulated the books.
So, according to the books, there was no change in revenue, and the imperial family was still richer than normal.
However, it is only on the ledger, and in reality there is no in-kind. The Emperor, who does not know this, is issuing all sorts of orders while using money he does not have. Officials, of course, are immobile beings without falling money.
The Emperor’s instructions were implemented only through fabricated paperwork, and news of victory was heard from everywhere that the rebels were defeated.
As such was repeated, chaos eventually came. After accumulating corruption and lies, the real world finally had an impact.
“Jim’s army! Where is Amcheondae!”
Finally, when the manipulation could not blind the emperor, the emperor went half-mad.
“He instigated a rebellion!”
“No, it’s them!”
The imperial palace was dotted with chaos.
Ministers who did not want to die screamed and screamed that this situation was all a disaster stemming from that guy’s infidelity. Everyone is blaming others, and no one is trying to solve the situation.
They had little interest in the rebellion itself. What is more important is the silence in front of you rather than the presence of rebels who may have been manipulated.
The ministers manipulated documents every day to accuse the opposing faction of being the main culprit of the rebellion, and if that did not work out, they would send an assassin to assassinate the other party, while carrying out large-scale arson and other aggressive attacks.
Of course, the assassination was only done on paper, as is the case with the manipulation-ridden empire. The ghosts are about to weep when the minister who must have been assassinated the day before returns alive.
Thus, this shady partisan fight turned into something akin to an arena. Even the assassins could not be trusted, and the ministers now began to kill each other nightly with swords.
“The ministers are dying!”
In the emperor’s view, it appeared that rebels had infiltrated the court and assassinated the ministers.
Now that even the palace has proven unsafe, the Emperor has gone insane, unable to read due to his diminished intelligence, and has lost sight of falsified ledgers at all.
The emperor, dumbfounded, did not think to use his head and began to move his body directly. Instead of issuing orders in written form, he went to the officials directly and shouted at them, telling them to do things quickly, like a child.
As a result, the confusion of the adjustment was reduced a little.
* *
The three imperial princesses, Tae Ra-hee, laughed out loud.
“Ahahaha! It’s a chaotic world!”
She, the most beautiful in her empire, clutches her belly and lets out her uncultured laughter.
Haha!”
He already knew that the rotten empire would soon perish.
But the further you go, the worse it gets.
The emperor went mad and his ministers scuffled.
The ministers sent assassins to each other, but the assassins, who never existed in the first place, were all fabricated beings and could not harm real people at all. The interesting thing was that, as expected, the non-existent payment was paid only on the ledger, as expected of an unreal existence.
Of course, the officials who died on paper acted brazenly, earning death compensation and death pensions. Even that was not enough, and they received tax exemption benefits just because they died. People have to pay taxes even when they become corpses.
“Nothing is true!”
Everything is rigged
What people breathe. Even the opening of the eyes seems clearly rigged. If you look at the ledger, the empire is running at its peak, revenue has increased by 70% compared to last year, and rebels are being successfully subdued in various places.
Summarizing the documents sent from each region, it is stated that the generals of the Empire have slain 17 billion rebels.
Of course, they didn’t kill a single person.
Above all, even if the entire population of the empire was combined, such an absurd number would not come out. This is because stupid generals falsely reported that they subdued from a few million to a billion people in order to inflate their achievements.
It’s a world you can’t believe unless you’ve seen it with your own eyes.
“But the original woman is happy with this troubled life!”
Tae Ra-hee wanted to dance.
She has been preparing for this time for a long time,
Using the characteristics of the corrupt empire, it has built up a huge amount of wealth and military in the rear of the empire, and erased their existence from the world by manipulating books and documents.
Faithful soldiers and generals who were raised by seeing with their own eyes. And clever civil servants are waiting with bated breath to take over the empire.
That’s the situation, but officially there are only rural villages and old peasants. It can be said to be an independent country that has already formed within the empire, but the court knows nothing about it.
This is absurd, but it is possible because in the empire everything can be manipulated.
His fortress there is a thatched-roofed house, and the numerous soldiers who have learned martial arts are about three old and sick grandmothers.
Tae Ra-hee thought.
Perhaps there might be beings who created a force like himself in the rear of the empire. So she took advantage of this situation and said that she might be harboring thoughts of becoming emperor.
But it doesn’t matter.
She had absolute confidence in her, who had worked secretly as the third imperial princess. She is now thanking the rebels.
Tae Ra-hee, who has a strong military that she raised herself, has been studying the art of war since childhood and has built up a reputation among her subordinates. All in order to devour this corrupt empire and reign as the true emperor.
There’s nothing like losing to rebels.
However, one unfortunate thing was that he was unable to obtain proper information about the rebels because of the prevalence of fabrication.
Although they continuously send trained spies, the rebels are really new and there are even rumors that they are possessing ghosts, so it is unreliable.
“You’ll find out later.”
Whatever it is, the time when the rebels attack the imperial family is the best time.
