Chapter 98 – 98. Return of the Empress (12)
-6 hours passed-
“Tsk, that’s really messed up.”
“?”
“No, I’m talking to myself.”
After hearing what Dick said, I tilted my head and Dick waved his hands as if it was nothing.
The chaos was soon suppressed.
The fire that burns down the forest was also evolved using the power of Sylphid.
First, it says to use the Wind Spirit King to extinguish the fire.
When I was told to use the wind to extinguish the fire, I had Silphid cover the area where the fire was and was able to extinguish it without allowing air to pass through. I saw the burned bodies of about a thousand people inside, but I couldn’t tell who they were.
And judging from that, it seems like there was something lurking around this border territory, and of course, a messenger came from Elvenheim and started yelling at her, but seeing Elizabeth standing proudly in front of her there and immediately running away in horror was truly a treat. .
What on earth did they do to those gangsters that made them run away as soon as they saw Elizabeth’s face?
-Are you curious?
And as if Elizabeth had sensed my doubts, she smiled and said, she really wasn’t making a fuss, and it seemed like this woman was at a very high level in hitting on the gangsters just as much as her older sister.
Even if they wanted to be damned in the first place, they could get away with it by securing evidence that they and Edward had arbitrarily entered into an agreement.
If you keep fucking up, I will help you, and of course Elizabeth will never leave you alone.
That’s what she meant by making a fuss with Elizabeth about her tampering with Phrygia and her border territory, which she was supposed to protect.
There are a few incidents like that, and eventually the fire is extinguished and the burned down mansion is left behind.
In a situation where the mansion burned down, windows were broken here and there, and walls collapsed, a temporary residence was created, and within it, Dick began to explain the situation to Elizabeth based on what he had discovered.
This is useful information that Elizabeth, who knows the situation in Frisia better than me, should hear, and why does Dick look like a skilled officer as he organizes the situation in a surprisingly logical manner, deduces the expected situation, and explains it to Elizabeth? Is it?
If there had been an officer like this in Magia, would I have felt that it was worth serving in the army?
I already had a few bullshit requests from Magia asking me to join the army, but I refused them all because I had no intention of behaving like a dog under those damn officers without going crazy.
To some extent, the soldiers went so far as to say that the enemy of the soldiers was the cadres, and due to the asymmetrical power maintained mostly by magicians, military discipline was weakened and most of the incidents were caused by officers.
Anyway,
Looking at Dick’s appearance, it seems like he was a very capable officer in the past.
That’s the case if you look at his behavior.
If I told you, would you probably get angry?
“These have been prepared for a long time. Based on the circumstances, it appears that they have been prepared for more than 50 years, but it seems that about 10 of them were delayed due to you, Margrave. After you disappeared, preparations began in earnest, and after you became near-dead, I started working openly.”
“I see. So Edward was selling out the country for his own survival.”
“Not even Edward. Anyway, putting that aside, based on the information that was in his head right now, Elven Haim’s detachment is crossing the border and causing trouble in each territory, while simultaneously shaking up the capital and eliminating influential figures. Among them is Pan. Duke Tallone is also included. They will have to operate simultaneously with the detachment, but they will try to push through with the plan in order to inflict damage somehow.”
“That’s right. For the sake of Elvenheim, they don’t think anything of their lives, or they take it for granted that they sacrifice them.”
“…”
And Carnesia, who is quietly listening to those words, is silent, and she just knows that she almost got caught in it, and she stays quietly among us.
And Anna, Lucy, and even Nia were glaring at her.
…
For now, we somehow ended up going together.
I hope there are no major problems.
Edward is dead, and at the same time, there are a lot of Elvenheim wizards and elves in the capital. They are already ready to commit the task.
And based on what Elizabeth heard from Dick, the Great Forest of the Eastern Frontier. Pantalone Frontier Territory on the eastern border here with the burning Great Forest.
And large and small cities such as Spartal, Aterna, Theiba, and Mycenae, as well as the lords and small and medium-sized fiefdoms located there.
The fiefdoms that had to be passed through to reach the capital Vergina were Teiba and Spartal, and in addition, there were small fiefdoms and medium-sized fiefdoms, and a total of four fiefdoms.
By marking each location, we are calculating the route and where to go quickly.
Because it is not Magia, exact coordinates were not given here, and there is no teleportation facility.
Naturally, you have to travel only on foot, and this is where influential figures, including the capital’s Duke Pantalone, reside.
If an attack takes place here and chaos continues in Frisia, of course a full-scale invasion will begin in Elvenheim as well.
There is a situation where the advance team waiting there was completely burned down thanks to the fireworks I threw into the forest, and of course it would cause a major setback to their plans, but that is none of my business.
It’s better to be able to be fucked.
“Then we’ll have to move quickly.”
“There is no need to move quickly. In fact, in times like this, it would be better to move leisurely. Anyway, in the current situation, there are three people of extreme interest here. First, the Sheep Witch.”
“What, why me?”
“Hey, are you asking because you don’t know that the Kampf girls are watching out for you?”
“At first, you always called me Clark’s sister, but now you’re showing your true colors.”
“Fuck you.”
“Wow, you can’t believe I’m giving a fuck to a woman. Inseong.”
“She’s not mine, so what?”
He is such a consistent guy. He too. Naturally, at first, he treated his sister with some respect, calling her his sister, but now he thought it was annoying, and now that his age was already revealed, he decided to treat her openly and disparagingly.
Moreover, even Machina-sensei is clinging to her side.
After giving me what I need, I always stay by Dick’s side for the rest of the time. What is Mine smiling about?
It seems like the two are a precious relationship to Mine. So, it can be like that.
Well, whatever it is, it’s good.
“Next is the Golden Sun, that damn guy over there, and lastly, the returning Empress of Phrygia! There’s Margrave Elizabeth Pantalone. Right, Margrave?”
It’s been a while since reporters dispatched from Uruk have been covering the story. Of course, considering that it was their first time meeting journalists from Uruk and their reactions were unfamiliar, it is likely that newspapers will be delivered to each subscriber shortly.
“Now, these three are coming back. But these people with unimaginable power are coming, so will they block the road or not? If you don’t block them, you have to be careful, and if you do, it’s actually better.”
“If they don’t stop it, they have the power to match it. If they block it, they don’t have the power to fight back, so they will try to trap it somehow and kill it.”
“That’s right. But if that happens, front lines will be erected in both directions. The most important thing in war is not to expand the front lines arbitrarily. Even the damn country I know full of fascism stretched the front lines without a plan and went crazy without being able to suppress either side. “They advanced north.”
“North? Room?”
“If you look at it from this perspective, Phrygia wasn’t able to subdue Magia, but they increased the battle line to capture Urus. You can’t do something crazy like that, and since the frontier here is blocked again, the special forces there are rats in a dog.”
“Then it won’t be easy to annihilate-“
“No, if that happens, you will die and I will die!!”
And I commented on it, and Dick also commented on it at the same time.
“Even a rat bites a cat when it is cornered. So the basic condition for encirclement and extermination is to somehow open its pores.”
“How?”
That’s simple.
“You just have to let them in on purpose.”
“…Hah? Clark, what is that?”
“No, that’s the correct answer. In the end, if you are isolated without support, you will end up being destroyed one way or another.”
Just as Dick said.
Naturally, the same applies when subduing monsters.
When subduing monsters, you should never surround them and try to kill them all.
Especially when you try to kill them all, they go berserk as a group and attack you more violently than usual, and many people get hurt in the process.
This is what I felt when I was learning and practicing magic, and of course, when the things that were full of pride tried to blow them all away, saying that even if they were told that fact, they would all be blown away with magic, medium-sized monsters, trolls, ogres, etc., Deflected the magic and ran away. If you come out and cause trouble, you’re lucky if you get hurt, but if you make a mistake, you could even die.
The method of extermination is, of course, baiting, creating a corner to escape to, and laying traps where they can escape.
I thought I would survive that way, but I ended up dying without any resistance in despair at having entered the jaws of the enemy.
Even if they resist, it is a trap created to thoroughly kill the enemy, so it can be made so that they cannot escape, so they can be annihilated without much damage.
“The ones with no backs are the scariest. You, the Margrave here, the Golden Sun over here, that witch with paranormal sexual desires…And the maids, the dragon guard, and the spider woman behind you. The forces here now are quite a bit of the National Knights. “It’s more power than anything else. Do you know that?”
“Gawain too-“
“If you’re thinking of borrowing the power of Gawain or Eris, stop. If you do it wrong, we could get caught up in propaganda.”
They will accompany us, but we decided not to know each other in case of emergency.
At least Gawain can make an excuse by saying that he barely survived and came back as a dark knight, but he can’t steal Carnetia, let alone Eris.
No, you idiot, I know it was because of that accident, but what is that monster next to you? If you criticize it, you won’t be able to get away with it and will be caught up in a public opinion war.
Remember, these are Kanfs.
These people compete with propaganda and fabrication. They will be spying on us, and of course we cannot count on their power.
“…It’s a shame. But on the other hand, it’s also good. Hehe. Clark, it feels like I’m traveling with you alone~”
“Hey, are there other people?”
“Yes~ I can’t see anyone else but you…Mummy Dawn Bringer!! Again!!”
Mulkyung-
And before I could finish those words, my older sister pulled me in from behind and showed off to Elizabeth. And half of my head is absorbed in my sister’s ample breasts.
Ah – it’s really healing.
Is this paradise?
My sister’s jizzi is really reassuring.
“Clarke!!! Again with those ugly breasts!!! Why are you so big?!”
“The reason men are fascinated by breasts is because my woman is a dick.”
“…If that’s the case, then I too-“
“Ah, okay, let’s put this fucking love fight aside and go back to our original opinions. Hey, Clark.”
And Dick calls me.
“You, don’t use magic for a while.”
“??What is this crazy guy talking about?”
Are you telling me to become incapable of magic? What a eunuch.
I can’t believe I’m a eunuch!!
Of course, this means becoming a magic eunuch who can’t use magic.
I know the reason, but it’s a bit much.
“What are you talking about, you crazy person? You can’t believe you’re going like that again.”
“I know you’ve been through a lot for two years, but this is the biggest way to deceive you. Isn’t it strange that you fought such a powerful being and then walked around without any penalty? Besides, what if you got injured as a result? What if there were aftereffects?”
“…Ah-“
Only then did I know what Dick was talking about.
So, they are intentionally trying to lure me in by making me look weak.
Do you think we can kill him if we put in a little more troops? As I do this, I’m being drawn more and more into this direction.
“And then, what do you think about using magic while saying, ‘Surprise, you bastard!’, Geumtaeyang.”
“…It’s not bad, but then I have to be a mite among my women?”
“I rather like it.”
“??”
Elizabeth, why are you giving me a nosebleed? Also, why are you breathing so hard?
My older sister also hugged me tighter and smiled.
“Uhuhu- If only I could have gone to look for you Clark two years ago… Haha, really- I only trusted my older sister while taking care of my younger brother who couldn’t use his powers properly… Ugh. – Just thinking about it makes my lower body…”
“What are you talking about when your lower body is always wet, ready to be fucked by men?”
No, Mr. Machina.
Naturally, Mr. Machina is next to Dick and scolds Elizabeth and her older sister as if they were rude.
Naturally, no words reached the ears of my sister and Elizabeth, who were already lost in their own imaginations.
At the same time, Anna’s eyes also change.
“Master, I will do my best to help you. So please leave the use of magic to the fire maid.”
“…What is it? I decided to teach Aris magic. Is that possible?”
“Do whatever you want. Anyway, from what I’ve seen you teach, you’re not teaching with magic, right? You’re teaching by making yourself realize it, aren’t you?”
It should be so.
If you use magic and you can’t teach it just by speaking, that means your quality as a professor is poor.
Moreover, since there are magic instructors, Anna, and Tio, it is possible to teach as much as you want.
And Lucy too…
“…Yes, Clark. Lucy will protect you once again.”
“…Master, yes, Nia is there too.”
And even Nia.
It just so happened that she was surrounded by all of them, and when Makina-sensei saw that, she clicked her tongue and said,
“Looking at me like this, I really look like a golden sun. I’m the type of girl with blonde tan among women.”
“Don’t say that. Even if he looks like that, he’s a fashion gold taeyang.”
“You’re putting a deal on this, you bastard.”
“Correction, newbie Geumtaeyang who is finally starting to follow the path of Geumtaeyang.”
Isn’t that what it is?
When I see him always teasing me like this, I wonder if this is really his hobby.
Anyway, Elizabeth unfolded the map of Frisia once again and spoke to me.
“The cities it takes before returning to Vergina… Spartal, and Teiva. At the same time, the territory is the Barony of Romaine and the County of Carlos…”
…
The cases where he hesitates like this are just because he’s a bit too much of a dick. He’s not the type of person like me to jump right in and say shit, and he doesn’t spit it out, and he tries to maintain his culture at all costs, but he has a temper and I have to suppress it.
Naturally, there is a very high probability that the last one is a bit of a dick.
“Are you going to take a break at the end?”
“It’s a place I don’t really want to go to.”
Understood.
Hmm.
“Elizabeth, it’s okay if I skip one in the middle, right?”
Of course, if you’re such a bastard, it’s a justification for punishing you as much as you can.
And I’m sure they won’t even make way for you as they pass by. If it disturbs you, just soak it.
And Elizabeth also laughed and said.
It was as if he had been waiting.
“Of course. I would like you to soak it.”
He spoke confidently with very dead eyes.
This is the first time he speaks like this.
In particular, she is not a woman with no temper at all, seeing as how many times when Alicia trolled her, she would openly shoot her with this look in her eyes, asking if you really use your hair as an accessory.
No, the party was almost destroyed, so it’s natural for anyone to be angry, but I’m even more curious because I’ve rarely seen people openly show their contempt for people like this.
And I asked her in her playful way.
“Hey, you’re a noble of your own country, so shouldn’t you defend yourself?”
“Clarke, if you weren’t the man I love, I would have said fuck you. So please don’t say that.”
In the meantime, he throws a fastball. She’s never been this woman in the first place, but she says she loves her in the meantime.
“No, that’s it…”
Really, how should I talk about this?
Well, as she says that, the sight of Elizabeth touching my cheek speaks to me with her face looking at something lovely.
“He’s a guy who annoys me in many ways because there are a lot of people who look after his back, but he doesn’t do anything that stands out, so the center doesn’t even think about catching him. Plus, he keeps flirting with me… Plus, what happened? “I don’t understand how it is possible to be a nobleman and still be fat.”
Do you think that if you are a noble, there are a lot of fat kids who play and eat? If so, I hope you will put aside such prejudices. Including my father, me and my sister-
Naturally, it is an armed group that can legally arm itself under the name of the nobility. A being given the power to protect what has been given to it.
That is nobility.
Naturally, this world is like a lawless world. In a place where there are so many damn bastards who will try to cut off your nose at the slightest opportunity, using force is tantamount to death.
Self-discipline is essential, and naturally, lazy people are eliminated.
However, those who are still alive are either forgetting what their predecessors have built up, maintaining their power by stealing from their subordinates, begging those in power, or turning down outsiders, or by bribing those who will protect them with money.
This reminds me of the eternal truth that money is always right.
Naturally, nobles who lack personal military power are despised, and most do not even treat them, but when their fortunes begin to decline, the opposite story becomes true.
When you think about wars failing and nobles going bankrupt or collapsing while maintaining their troop numbers, it’s something you can’t help but laugh about.
When wealthy merchants buy noble genealogies and start pretending to be nobles, that is a real problem in its own way.
Dick mercilessly says what he has been thinking but has not said.
“…The fact that such things have started to appear means that the country is in ruin, right?”
“…Yumma Dick.”
“…No, it’s true. After the death of Emperor Alkeides, it continues to claim to be a strong and prosperous nation, but in reality, Elven Haim continues to try to invade right next to it, and even failed expeditions to Urus and Camelot…In many ways, the country’s national power is declining.”
And on top of that, Elizabeth also fell during the expedition.
Naturally, they are attacking this moment, thinking that the odds are against them. But no matter what, if Elven Haim invades a human country, that would be a problem of its own.
The method they have chosen is to use puppet kings or nobles as regents and interfere in internal affairs, and most of them will be corrupt nobles.
People with dirty personalities who would sell their country to make money will not hesitate to enrich themselves by eating away at the country.
“Actually, for my purposes, it doesn’t really matter whether you solve this or not.”
“But you also gave me good tactical advice and advice on operations, right?”
“Yes, we’re already at odds with each other so much, but you’re not the type of person to just throw it away and tell me I don’t know. Of course, I helped you out. Plus, it’s somewhat confirmed that reincarnated people and things like that are causing trouble in this case, and just like Edward, you’re the Elder Gods’ expert. “You’re even moving under orders from the enemy. It’s up to you whether to deal with this or not.”
“In the end, you’re telling me to deal with it, so what’s new?”
“It is the godfather’s wish for our golden sun to grow well. Eat it with all your might.”
Am I the only one who thinks there’s something strange about telling people to eat?
Of course, with one more drink –
“Ah! Dick Johnson Marine! I wonder if it’s appropriate to report that I have doubts about asking for permission to taste your big, beautiful fire bat…”
“You crazy bitch, what are you talking about!?”
Of course he’s my teacher, but he’s so fucking crazy.
If I’m between those two, I feel like my mental power will suffer, so it’s right for me to stand out.
Anyway, we’ve done everything we discussed and made all the schedules and plans, so the story is over now.
“Ack! Dick Johnson, you idiot! Tahheuk-“
…
“Let’s get out quickly. Let’s make sure we have a good time.”
“Hey, hey! Where are you going when you leave me? You’re so ungrateful… Ugh!”
“This is the woman you chose. Eat her evilly.”
“No shit, I didn’t choose!?”
“I chose you, so I’m fucking you, you idiot?”
“That’s so novel, you crazy bitch!”
Hmm.
If there’s more, I’ll even take off my pants. These two.
I felt like I was going out for lunch because I was surrounded by all these crazy high-tension people.
And as a bonus, the workers who are repairing the broken Margrave Mansion and Batistan who are leading it. And the appearance of Elizarote.
At the same time, as soon as we come out, Elizarote spots us and approaches us.
“Ah! Sister! And… Brother-in-law!”
…No, by the way, this isn’t even confirmed.
“Yes, yes, I will call you often from now on. That’s right.”
And Elizabeth, with a very satisfied look on her face, was holding my face in her arms and pulling me to her own chest.
Of course, my sister does the same.
And it’s no secret that Elizarote’s eyes turned to lobster eyes for an instant when she looked at it.
…
Write.
Is there anything else?
It’s something you just have to accept as a golden sun.
