Chapter 390 – Extraversion. The Princess of Mercy and Character.
+++
Seorae, who revealed her true colors to her, was truly unstoppable.
There were several tests that no one knew, only a few quick-witted people noticed, and except for a few nobles who passed the test, they began to beat them mercilessly.
Most of them were to the extent of lowering their title or taking advantage of them, but those who were thought to be severe were guilty of reproach and slaughter their entire family.
Tens of thousands of nobles died like that.
At this point, the nobility could unite and do something, but it was not easy because they were already torn apart by the followers of Seorae.
In the end, the number of aristocrats was definitely reduced compared to before, and only those who followed Seorae or were quick to notice and lined up well survived.
The problem is that it doesn’t end there.
Even if you survive now, there is no guarantee that you will survive in the future.
In the end, while discussing alternatives, the aristocrats agreed with Seorae’s words as much as possible without opposing them.
At the same time as sorting out the nobles, Seorae intensified the war.
If the border was reached, they attacked once, and while unable to respond to the sudden invasion, they advanced at a rapid pace.
Most of them collapsed helplessly because they were caught in a gap of carelessness, and among them, there was a country where the capital fell within a month.
In a way, it was a very cowardly trick, and there were actually many people who cursed at it.
However, Seorae did not care at all and even provoked them.
It’s your fault for being careless….
Her people her, of course, became more angry, and her backlash her against her her intensified.
However, it was too weak compared to the general trend, and there was no force that could resist Seorae.

“Did I tell you? Deception is the best strategy.”
“I don’t like the attitude, but I’ll admit it.”
Seorae had a meeting with a woman alone.
A woman who is beautiful when it comes to makeup.
She is Seorae’s teacher and now a noble woman.
“Tactics change, but strategy is eternal. Since ancient times, deception has been indispensable on all fronts. She plots her own intentions, tricks her opponents her, and strikes them unexpectedly … No one can stop this.”
“Certainly, I didn’t know that the nobility would collapse so easily. And to believe in me among many people.”
“It is truly unfortunate.”
“What?”
“That’s what you said. The truth is the truth, so accept it.”
“I don’t like it.”
Even as she said that, she only tipped her glass of her, but she did n’t kill like everyone else.
Even if there are parts of her that she doesn’t like, it’s an undeniable fact that if it wasn’t for Mayo, she would have been weeded out.
In a way, she is her Seorae’s lifesaver.
“What are you going to do next anyway?”
“What?”
“The East Continent is virtually the same as having been obtained. Are you going to focus on your domestic affairs?”
“It’s my job… Hmm….”
There are not many countries that have yet to surrender or conquer, but if you look at the war situation, you can conquer them without too much difficulty.
It will probably drop in a few months.
Then, most of the eastern continent would fall to the Mei Empire.
“Shall we aim for the central and western continents?”
“I don’t know about the West Continent, but the Central Continent would be difficult. If you do something wrong, the empire you’ve worked so hard to build can crumble from the inside out. I don’t want that either.”
“Yeah, but I’m too annoyed to leave those religious bitches alone. It is also the gateway to the western continent.”
“It would be better to hit the western continent first, but… That won’t be too hard. There are considerations.”
“I wish I could unify the world in my generation.”
“It’s hard. Give up.”
“You say that very annoyingly.”
“The only way to develop is to accept reality. You taught me that all along, but you still haven’t realized it?”
“Okay. Got it.”
Seorae waved her hand as if she understood.
“More than that, pay attention to the Vasa area.”
“Vasa? Why in such a rural area? Wouldn’t it be better if it was Throdia?”
“It’s a shame because they’re fighting among themselves. If they unite, it will become a scary town. The total population alone is over 28 million, and the territory is large. After the civil war, there will be a terrifying revival.”
“Hmm… Could that be possible? It’s easy to say, it’s been years since we’ve been fighting now……And in terms of population, we have a lot more.”
“Ha….”
Mayo sighed.
“Is this an extremely annoying reaction?”
“War… And combat isn’t just about numbers. Of course, if there are overwhelming numbers, the chances of winning will increase, but the most important thing is the skill of the soldiers. Having been in the civil war for so long means that the soldiers have accumulated real combat experience. On the other hand, our Imperial Army has been in peace for a long time. Although we are fighting a war recently, we are far short of them.”
“Hmm….”
“So be careful. It’s better if you keep it in check.”
“Once I got it. Then, are there any other children I need to watch out for?”
“There is nothing else. If I had to pick one, it would be Macedonia. Being a nomadic people, the speed at which they collect bottles is very fast, and their basic fighting skills are excellent. Besides, it’s cavalry. However, there aren’t many excellent knights, so if you fight properly, you’ll be able to win with as little as Throdia.”
“Okay?”
“Of course, Macedonia could suddenly become stronger based on some pivot. In that case, you have to subdue them early.”
“You can’t just hold it in from now on. You can interfere with this and that through Throdia.”
“Ohh. It’s an excellent trick. By interfering through Throdias, their anger is turned against Throdias, and we take the real profit… Also, you’re an evil person. The disciple’s clearing of the water makes this teacher happy.”
“Shut up.”
Seorae threw the marshmallow she had brought to Mayo.

The war ended in victory for the Empire.
Seven countries succumbed and became vassals of the Mei Empire,
In the three countries that shouted for a decisive battle, all royal families were executed and a new dynasty was established.
Seorae opened an era of blood by betraying those who had no doubt that the era of peace would last.
She became the emperor who killed the most nobles in history in just one year, and soon after, she became the emperor who subdued the most countries.
The history of defeat has only just begun.
However, even in that short period of time, she stained the entire continent with despair, causing countless wars and repeating annexations and demands for tribute.
She also excelled in her domestic affairs, strengthening her own power by being a direct descendant of the six ancestors (六曹直啓), while she also showed interest in the arts such as poetry and song, creating countless works of her own .
She also paid a lot of attention to the treatment of the common people, opening the door for anyone with talent to become a wizard or knight, and an education center where they could receive the most basic education so that they would not be ignorant of reason. . Made.
People of the time, especially the nobility, refer to this period as the Dark Ages.
However, later generations, especially commoners, refer to this period as the golden age.
An era in which the power of the aristocracy was weaker than at any other time in history, and there was strong protection and welfare from the emperor.
