Chapter 224 – 223. Regroup (2)
After lunch.
A lot really happened in a short period of time.
Okay.
Either the gods tried to drown me by poisoning their followers, or Hector was stewed. And I fucked Cassandra and Polixene in one night. To be honest, it’s hard to believe that this really happened in three days.
After lunch, a woman and a man with blue hair appeared with Odyssey in Ithaca.
Penelope and Telemachus? It’s a bit annoying that they’re giving me a strangely hostile look, but it’s past time to criticize them for just staring at me.
“What are you talking about, Telemachus? Do you want to search?”
“Oh.”
And it was Liz who hit on it right away.
Do you know each other?
“No, Margrave – that’s not it –”
“What? Looking at someone else’s man like that means asking for a fight? Huh? Do you want to go after him?”
“…I’ve certainly never done anything that would make you look hateful, but I’m curious as to why you’re looking at me like that. Do I have any enmity with you?”
I’m curious about this.
What did I do?
And it’s natural for me to give a guy who acts like shit for no reason a reason to be shitty.
“Otherwise, if I’m a dick, I’m willing to respond if you pick up a glove and throw it at me right now. They say that’s what happens in this country, and Paris did that too, so why don’t you try the same?”
“…Tsk, damn it, Golden Sun.”
And looking at Polixene… Aha-
This is true. I was in a position where I couldn’t help but be hated. But even if that happens, what can I do?
Looking at Telemachus, who is here now, I put spit on these two… No, in any case, getting drunk was the best condition for them.
That’s exactly what you see when flirting is being thrown around like this.
“To a wizard who can’t fight properly without magic-“
“Uh, uh, don’t do that. You’ll end up hitting the floor.”
It’s real.
I can pin Telemachus to the floor right now without using any magic.
Of course, it seems like this idiot doesn’t know who he’s provoking, but unfortunately, everyone around him knows, and what should I do with this guy who’s still glaring at me even though Odysseyra is glaring at me?
Naturally, Cassandra’s eyebrows seem to be sore, and it is only after Hector’s sharp eyes reach Telemachus that he finally stops looking at me and towards Polixene.
“I probably didn’t come here to start a fight.”
“…Sorry.”
“Don’t say you’re sorry, just stay quiet. I never gave you the right to speak. Don’t act rashly while your sister is still there.”
Well, that’s right. I came here today as a reference. That’s why Odyssey brought them here, saying, “Please take care of them.” They have no say in this. They are non-combat personnel, and of course they are personnel who should be waiting in the rear.
Hector’s knights follow him in.
Roland.
A knight with blond hair, green eyes, and a beard, and was as large as Hector.
Next is Ricardo.
His full name is Mandricardo, and he is also one of Hector’s generals. He is a man with impressive black hair and white bridge.
The way Roland and I make eye contact makes it seem like these two are rivals.
Looking towards Odyssey.
Diomedes, a knight with gray hair, blue eyes, a strong jawline, and a muscular body belonging to the same Gawain family.
Besides that, one more thing.
Aias.
…
This guy is over 2m tall.
Hmm.
As expected, is the article physical?
Naturally, he appears to be wielding an equally enormous sword.
Who is behind me? Elizabeth Pantalone, Gawain, and Arash Kamanga. There is Mira Dawn Bringer, my sister.
Apart from that, Anna, Carol, and Oinone are taking a step back to prepare refreshments, and the rest of them probably have no interest in such a stiff situation.
Lastly, Eleuod Pantalone, my father-in-law, takes his place at the center table. Everyone in the hall shows respect to him.
I also greeted him, and he also accepted everyone’s greetings.
As for what my father-in-law was doing up to this point, to put it simply, he was directing traffic.
In effect, the King has been cursed by me and has left, and they should not and cannot exist in the first place.
The king’s body is in Vergina, Vergina is occupied, and all the guards are attached to the old man, but there is only one person left to prove that the old man is the king.
And that person is my father-in-law, and my father-in-law was betrayed all his loyalty upon hearing the bullshit declaration of resignation from me, who was already his last hope, but he still refused to listen to those who did not listen or betrayed for the sake of the people who would survive in Frisia. By chopping off all their heads, they eliminated all the useful ones among those who remained.
…
He was doing the most dirty and dirty work, and naturally he had a lot of blood on his hands.
Broadly speaking, those who are here now are divided into four categories.
First, external forces.
Talk about me
First of all, those who depend on me. Starting with my older sister, Ilias, Nia, Lucy, etc. In many ways, there are many of them here, and in fact, they are the most powerful force here.
That’s right.
“…”
This uncomfortable feeling that all eyes are focused in this direction, and especially on me.
When I glanced sideways at my sister, she smiled and spoke.
Hold on with your wickedness, hehe.
…Tsk.
Sometimes it’s shitty because it’s not well-known, but the shittyness that comes from being well-known is also a problem.
Next is Scherwitz.
Hector, Roland, and Ricardo. In fact, there were many younger brothers here, but those younger brothers also helped to drown the older brother and remained silent, so now Cassandra is preparing to catch them all and punish them. Those who have changed their minds will ask me to save them by putting Geass on them, and those who have not come to their senses will beheaded.
There is a traitor in the family, and I, too, have been betrayed by a lover, so I know that betrayal by someone close to me is an indescribably cruel and shitty thing.
“…”
And, now, looking at Scherwitz, who has a half-faced face like this, I can see his eyes implicitly looking down on him, but as soon as he makes eye contact with Hector, he immediately looks away, which makes me realize that Hector is still a top-ranked powerhouse among them.
Next is Odyssey.
Needless to say.
If I had to choose the most decent group here, it would be Diomedes and Aias. With these two as her lieutenants, she and her troops under her will be the strongest. Of course, if I had bad intentions here, I could have done something wrong…
Now that she had already been blocked from doing such things by me, all she could do was hit Telemachus on the back of the head, who was still looking at me and making an expression of displeasure, and the silver-haired woman called Penelope was talking to Polyxene and Cassandra. They just looked at each other and then stared at me intently.
“Why are you looking at someone else’s man like that?”
“Excuse me, I’m sorry if you made me feel uncomfortable.
Penelope apologized to Liz by bowing lightly, and Liz also stepped away without further nitpicking at her quick apology.
Of course, it doesn’t seem like they are the ones behind it.
Aias, that big guy looked at me and Liz and said, it was clearly intended as a provocation.
“…Huh, really. The princess knight’s man was you, Geumtaeyang? Plus… Scherwitz’s forbidden jade leaves-“
Of course-
Don’t say anything after that.
There is probably no one here who doesn’t know what happened overnight, but it must be said that expressing it publicly shows intent.
“I know what you want to say, so don’t say the next word. Unless you want to get caught. What you think of me is none of my business, so shut up, you bastard.”
“Fuha! I don’t even think this is a swear word from a wizard. I like it. It’s very exciting.”
Pestilence.
Is this what Frisia’s culture is like in the first place? Naturally, she clicks her tongue when she sees Cassandra and Polik Sene, who appear as representatives of Sher Vitz.
He didn’t say anything after that, but he must have looked down on him.
“Now, be quiet. Let’s be quiet for a moment… We will all be able to see that a cataclysm has occurred in this short period of time.”
“…I can’t hide my surprise that it happened because of just one person. Well, that’s how a man should be! Haha!”
When I tell him to be quiet, I see a big man shouting louder. Who is this person? The owner of the Macedonian castle.
He was a middle-aged man with dark brown hair, a muscular body, and a beard. Wounds all over his body and scars across his face proved that he had fought a difficult battle. Unusually for Frisian knights, he was equipped with enchanted armor. Two knights who appeared to be under his command, wearing magical protective armor.
Each man and woman were also wearing armor that provided limited magic protection.
Marquis Alexandros Megas.
He is the lord of southern Macedonia.
…
Hmm.
Just like that, he is really big. He is just as tall as Aias behind the Odyssey, but he is also over 190 cm tall.
It is a place where masculinity is evaluated based on muscularity, size, and strength. In that sense, he looks like a Frisian man.
And this guy’s Macedonia is located in the southern region, and there were problems there too.
Simple.
“…Those little bastards, where did they learn how to build ships? They were scouting the Macedonian coast on a ship, Excellency Duke. I’m asking this because everyone who knows everything knows, but is there any hope for Phrygia?”
They are ears.
Ha, yes.
It’s almost time to start worrying about them.
They say they came by boat to southern Macedonia and the Canfs were terrible.
It’s only in the forest, but it’s true that this is an annoying situation in its own way because the Kanfs are talking shit.
And my father-in-law questions what Alexander said.
“…In what sense?”
“That is the whole point, Your Excellency. There is not a single person here who does not know that Your Excellency has been publicly insulted. How do you feel?”
But.
…
Of course, I was surprised that a ducal family that had maintained loyalty for generations could be so easily defeated, and that the person who held that bullshit was the current king. And he tried to put a dog leash on me.
Most of the knights here now seem to have heard about me, and although they look somewhat disapproving, they at least do not look down on me, and my strength and abilities are acknowledged.
Just knowing what happened to such a person, and the fact that they tried to betray the prestigious operative family that guaranteed such a person’s identity, filled their hearts with distrust, and – should they run away for their lives? It was enough to fill me with these thoughts.
Of course, that’s not the case, but my father-in-law is someone I have come to respect.
“My heart and my life exist for this land that used to be Phrygia, and for the lives of its people. And that hasn’t changed in the past or now. Now, it’s nice to have a title, and my son-in-law offered me a good job after retirement. “I’m thinking of going there. Since you publicly fired me, isn’t it up to you wherever I go after that?”
That’s right.
And with those words, attention is focused on me once again. And Alexander looked at me, smiled and said.
“I heard you’re a wizard, but you don’t look like a wizard at all. The wizards I know are weaklings who are sick of seasickness on a ship and ask you to check what they ate for breakfast… I heard you faced a demon lord. How was the demon lord, and was he strong? “
“…It was a hideously monstrous thing.”
If nothing else, I can answer this.
It was a hideous monster.
What I remember is silver hair, eyes full of purple madness, focusing on defense while slashing with a huge sword, and a crazy battle in which the team would be wiped out unless all attack magic was destroyed, and even in this situation, if I were to encounter that, I would win. It was the kind of opponent where you couldn’t be sure whether you could do it or not.
Why are her gods afraid, even until this moment I have not been able to find her stronger than her, and at the same time, it is also the reason why I am not afraid of the gods.
I don’t want to die, so I tell the humans to go and die, and why should I be afraid of the bastards who drove them out to death?
“…Well, it ended up like this anyway. Can I just leave it at that? I’ll call you Alexander.”
“What are you saying when you’ve already let it go, Marquis Alexander?”
“Haha, that’s hot. These days, he’s just a manly man in words and has no spirit. I like him more and more, but if he weren’t the duke’s son-in-law, I’d be quick to take him away. You are thinking of becoming the master of Macedonia. Is there any silver?”
Why is this guy acting like this all of a sudden?
“If you have any intention of giving me something, please do not hesitate.”
“By any chance, do you have somewhere to go?”
“…A certain blond-haired emperor of Uruk is after his son-in-law.”
“…Oh my god. Isn’t this bigger than you think?”
Alexander chuckled, and only Telemachus, who was still filled with disbelief towards me, seemed in disbelief…
Well, it’s nothing special.
“First of all, I would like to make a suggestion to you all.”
“What are you proposing?”
“Under the current situation, it is impossible to fight head-on. And, if you gather troops in a head-on fight, there is a very high chance that you will be screwed.”
“The reason is?”
Alexander asks.
“I am a body marked by the gods. I am a dangerous molecule who survived after capturing the Demon Lord. And… There is a high probability that the troops gathered to recapture Vergina will turn into troops who will kill me.”
“…So, is this because you yourself are a plague?”
“It’s more than a plague. That’s why I can’t intervene directly in the battle. I can just leave at any time, and it’s inefficient to bring troops that are far away from me, so of course I’ll aim for a time when I’m directly among the troops, and that’s it.” “There is one thing you must do for a reason.”
Widely-
I took out a map.
Draw an X for each region, and for Ithaca, Scherwitz, Macedonia, Teiba, and the North. And marks the regions of Arcadia, Phthias, and Lycia.
And it refers to those who are there, the warlords.
“Atalanta of Arcadia, Peleus of Phthias, and Bellerophon of Lycia… We need more support from these three armies. Currently, Cadmus in Teiba is facing the army of Camelot, but if the stalemate continues, it will be this side that gets tired. “There are lumps of metal on that side that don’t eat or sleep, so this side is at a disadvantage as time goes by, and of course, this side is the one that needs to gather more troops and break through.”
“There is a problem, but even so, that side has secured a king. Yes, a [King] That no one will suspect. There is a justification, too. We are in a situation where we will directly see the birth of a puppet state, and there is no way. ?”
“Just think of the person in Vergina as dead. I wasn’t there to begin with, but he can’t be saved with his loyalty, and what’s more, there needs to be a more legitimate king.”
“…How do you mean that?”
“This is top secret. If this doesn’t work, it’s much better for your mental health to just suck it up. If you feel like you’re screwed, I’ll have a way and means of escape, so get to that and make a plan. “I would like you to proceed, but if you have an opinion on this, please speak up.”
“We have no opinion. In the first place, we know better than anyone else that the current situation is hopeless. Here… There is no one who does not know that His Majesty the King has been victimized by a changeling.”
“…”
Seeing that Telemachus was not surprised, it seems that Odyssey had given him a hint in advance. She tells me to prepare for it somehow. In other words, there is no legitimacy or justification here. The king is captured, so what are you going to do?
Of course, the only way is to establish a new king.
“We need to secure both justification and legitimacy, but when it comes to that – what do you have?”
“Power comes from God. I don’t know if you know that.”
Also known as the divine right of kings theory.
Kingship comes from God. And, of course, this means that it is related to God, and a being chosen by God more than anyone else, or a being related to him, is bound to be more authentic than any other being. That is why kings manage brothers and sisters who have different legitimacy than themselves, and if they fall into the hands of disobedient elements, a very troublesome civil war can break out.
A descendant or recipient of a person related to God who is greater than the current king.
“…Huh, that is truly blasphemous. The King is still alive.”
“No way, if you’re going to follow that crazy old man, I’ll leave. Just be thankful that I saved the life of the person who tried to put a dog leash around someone else’s neck and didn’t kill him.”
“Ha! Yes, only someone who killed the Demon King and returned can say such a thing. Pahaha!”
Alexander reacted like that, and the rest of the knights seemed to be repulsed by my words. Is it possible that there would not be resistance to the idea of abolishing the existing king and installing a new king in the first place?
Don’t understand.
However,
Do you understand the situation?
“This is information from Cadmus, the lord of Teiba. The walls are still strong, but the injuries to the troops are getting worse. There are absolutely not enough knights to cut down these damned pieces of metal. The magic siege…Ah, I don’t know because I belong to Magia, but is this a water-based weapon?”
“It’s a water-based weapon. It’s a weapon created by Teiba’s magicians. I don’t know about anything else, but it can definitely blow up one of those cans.”
“What is the cost?”
“Uh… First of all, the cost won’t be cheap.”
Odyssey answered that question, and I sighed.
“What are the Teiba wizards like?”
Jerk the.
I don’t even think about efficiency.
And just looking at the restraints, distraction devices, and control devices that were made to subdue me, they are completely far from efficient.
Okay.
Does it mean anything if your belly button is bigger than your stomach?
Tsk.
“Then, can you make something better?”
“…Let me show you a prototype. To be clear, with this, I blew up the reinforced version of the cans that invaded Phrygia, the gigantic thing that came here to kill me. Please judge its magnificence for yourself.”
Of course you can do it?
Okay.
I can do it.
A wizard is the one who answers such questions, and it is a wizard and magic engineering that proves that they can create something more efficient than you can in this way.
And I’m going to prove it today, and I will prove it.
