How to Subdue the Masochist Princess 389

Chapter 389 – Invocation

Wolfgang has become a messenger of peace without even realizing it.

It was a peace that was preserved by sacrificing half of one’s 20s, the most brilliant youth in one’s life. As he worked harder for peace than anyone else, he also quite liked the atmosphere that had recently arrived in the empire.

‘It’s not that bad. It’s not bad, but… It’s a bit boring.’

Of course, I’m feeling bored these days because the unified command hasn’t given any missions to the special operations commander in the past few months.

As a soldier, the best thing to do is when you are bored because you have nothing to do.

When performing my duties as a knight commander, I had the option of taking care of the unit’s stability as a field commander, but now that I have been awarded a star, there is no need to do even that.

His job itself was still that of a commander, a top-class commander whose shoulders were weighed down by the weight of three stars.

A three-star general with a dignified name who commands an army in actual combat and can command an army of over 10,000 troops with a single wave of his hand.

Usually, it is said that even if you have only one star on your badge, you have achieved great success as a soldier, but if you become a three-star general, you can count the number of superiors above you on one hand.

An almost divine being to ordinary soldiers and middle and lower-level officers.

A 4-star general who oversees the military authority of the entire region or has the final command authority for various operations, and a 5-star general who commands the entire imperial army, is the commander-in-chief.

And there is none other than the general, the only six-star general in history who is the guardian deity of the empire and symbolizes the power of the empire itself.

Of course, as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility, so when you become a three-star general, you are bound to be busy with various official and unofficial events and strategy meetings.

Wolfgang’s position within the military was close to special treatment, so the story did not apply to him in any way.

The person himself is a kind of strategic weapon.

Although he has the same authority as other generals, his position is very heterogeneous. He does not normally belong to any unit, and if a special mission is assigned that only he can handle, he will be assigned to do so.

Because he possessed overwhelmingly strong military power, his presence acted as a kind of deterrent to the enemies of the empire, and it did.

How many Eclipse plots has he thwarted so far?

From the perspective of the imperial leadership, Wolfgang was a magic sword that could be wielded at any time. If he swings, the enemy will fall and die.

However, there is a risk that if such a magic sword is released, the damage to the surroundings will be too great, so it is usually kept in its sheath.

He couldn’t use a dragon-slaying knife to kill a chicken.

There is another reason why his position stands out so much.

In a world where superhumans exist, rank and strength are somewhat directly proportional within the military. The title of knight commander is equivalent to the requirement of a strong person who can alone create a variable even in unit-level battles.

The rank of general, which is higher than that, is a position that can be promoted only if one has not only strength but also practical ability and good reputation, based on the evaluation standards of the Imperial Military Personnel Office.

Of course, there are many people who intentionally refuse promotion and remain in the position of knight commander due to their own wishes or other factors.

Even taking that into account, on average, the higher your rank, the stronger your military power.

But in the case of Wolfgang.

“You know what? It is said that General Wolfgang could destroy a mountain with a single punch of his fist and split the sea with a single blade.”

“When I said something, Won, it wasn’t even a child, it was just childish. “How can a disciple who is not just a great general be that strong?”

Even by those evaluation standards, he is out of the question.

In terms of strength alone, he possesses a force that overwhelms not only those who are said to be stronger than the Commander-in-Chief, but also those who are superior in experience or rank.

Even though it is strong, it is so strong that it is difficult to dispose of it.

In many ways, we are in a position where we have no choice but to receive special treatment.

“Poo-eup!”

Wolfgang, who was quietly enjoying tea time while wearing the artifact containing Alicia’s distortion magic, almost spit out the tea in his mouth when he heard the conversation coming from the seat next to him.

No matter how much he likes being alone, sometimes he just wants to get some fresh air. Since he was also human, it was natural.

But the problem was that it was now too famous.

It was like that before, but after the engagement ceremony, there was no one in the empire who didn’t know his face, and because Wolfgang had such a distinctive appearance, it was impossible not to attract attention.

That’s why I asked Alicia to pick up any pocket watch that was lying around, turned it into an artifact, and then enjoyed a leisurely outing alone.

“This is a little… It’s hard to hold on.”

Coincidentally, in the seat right next to him, I saw a group of gentlemen wearing monocles and tailcoats discussing his strength as if they were ten-year-old children.

Wolfgang couldn’t bear it because his face was so hot.

The two nameless nobles began to talk even more enthusiastically, not knowing that Wolfgang, who was suddenly holding his forehead while drinking tea, was the main character of their heated discussion.

“I had exactly the same thoughts as you at first. Looking at recently released records, that statement seems close to the truth.”

“… What is it? Isn’t General Wolfgang still less than 30 years old? “If only I had reached that level at that age.”

The conversation gradually reached a point where it reached a boiling point.

“Okay. Maybe another transcendent person will appear in the empire soon… “

“Oh my god. “Are you saying that the number of gods who live in royalties is doubled?”

Now it’s almost a cult.

—Jump!

“Master! Calculate here.”

Wolfgang, who couldn’t listen anymore, immediately got up from his seat.

To be honest, if I were to say that it was uncomfortable to hear praise for myself, it wasn’t, but that goes to a certain extent.

Isn’t this too much to do?

The moment when she was about to go outside after roughly putting a gold coin into the hand of the café owner who was looking embarrassed.

—Wooow!

Another pocket watch, a military communication device, in his pocket began to vibrate slightly and emit a magic field at regular intervals.

Wolfgang, whose face was red, instantly changed to a serious expression and checked his communication. It was a kind of encrypted message.

I deciphered it and found that the sender was the Imperial Palace. It was a call requesting the highest level of security authority and a request for a response as quickly as possible.

Originally, it was literally an artifact capable of only simple communication, but thanks to the recent entry into the military industry by the Telephone Factory, of which Wolfgang is the largest shareholder, it has been actively modified, and various functions have been added.

Now it can truly be called an all-purpose tool.

By the way, whatever.

‘What on earth is happening, a sudden call from the imperial palace?’

I don’t know what’s going on, but it wasn’t the time to relax.

—Cludly… !

Wolfgang gathered all the strength in his legs and leaped straight into the air.

The combination of strength and magic that far surpasses that of humans lightly twists the laws of physics. A large object over 2 meters quickly rises into the sky and begins to roam above the clouds.

—Pang, pang!

Wolfgang, who gained momentum by spurring the air a few more times, confirmed the direction of the imperial palace and descended straight toward his destination.

If you have overwhelming power, there is no need to go back a long way.

Wolfgang used to use movement methods only occasionally when he was in a hurry, but now he used them without even thinking about it.

There was no other reason, it was just that it was more convenient that way.

—Shuuuuu… Bang!

Wolfgang landed at the entrance of the imperial palace in an instant with a roar like a meteor.

“Huh!”

“Who are you?”

The imperial guards, who noticed the abnormal phenomenon, immediately went into alert mode.

“Let’s fly.”

“Ah, you are General Wolfgang.”

As soon as Wolfgang revealed his identity, he relaxed his guard and cleared the way.

Now, even without Alicia’s company, she even slightly bows her head to show respect.

Although he was an imperial guard who served only the imperial family and bowed only to the imperial family, Wolfgang was already half-officially recognized as a member of the imperial family.

He was already being treated no different from royal family.

“General Wolfgang, this way.”

As soon as he entered, an official wearing an official uniform embroidered with gold thread came out to greet him.

It was a face I knew from seeing Wolfgang a few times. A person similar to the chief of staff who oversees the internal and external affairs of the imperial palace.

Compared to Alicia’s Palace of Light, she was a person of equal status to the head maid Leon.

“What do you mean, emergency call?”

“Please follow me first. We will discuss the details when we arrive.”

Of course, he is someone that even Wolfgang cannot treat lightly.

As business was business, the two of them skipped all the little etiquette and headed straight to the inner palace.

In the imperial palace, which has a complex internal structure, it is not strange to be ejected anywhere at any time while walking without a guide.

As I walked frantically following the official, I eventually reached the place.

“This is the place.”

“This is…”

—Gooooo…

It was in front of a dungeon where black energy was flowing out.
