Chapter 147 – Big Brother
I was the first to target those who seemed to be of Baron Aslan’s lineage during the first raid, and Triana was in charge of the rest of the lineage.
It is no exaggeration to say that the lineage of Baron Aslan has practically ceased.
Remember, Baron Aslan has no children.
In other words, those in the remaining surnames were collateral or viscounts who went under him.
There is no one to stop us.
Go go go go go go go!
To be honest, I was tired, but I continued to keep the huge sun behind my back while breaking through Baron Aslan’s territory.
The use of suppressing the surroundings and subduing those who look upon it with just overwhelming magic power without any ability.
Having already passed through several villages through Georg’s Basin, it was announced that the owner of this land had changed.
The sun, so huge that it could be seen from the ships leaving the city with the port, ran through Aslan’s territory, and finally the huge city of Aslan, visible in the distance, began to appear.
Those who are sensitive to magic use magic power, and others look at the night sky slowly brightening with the dazzling sun and watch the noisy castle, and the army finally stops.
“Lord.”
Triana looked at me and came forward. I look at the figure and look at the wall far away.
I saw several people already climbed up the wall.
Most of the magical power that can actually be felt is collateral. None of them seem particularly noteworthy. I nodded.
At my signal, Triana walks between our knights and the wall, shouting loudly.
“This is the coming of Count Leoric Franz, the incarnation of the sun, the shining one who has become the rightful ruler of this land! Seeds of the sword! This is the final mercy for you who have been defeated by the sun! Open the gates right now and welcome them!”
Triana’s voice echoed through the city.
The voice that spread with magical power informed all the people in the city. Now the owner of this land has changed.
I turned my head to look at Aslan, who became even more tumultuous.
Aslan, a trading city that trades by river.
As her eyes turned golden, she began to glimpse the port city of Barheun Kingdom, where Aslan traded.
As if to prove that my magical power is slowly ruling this area, the cities that became noisy after noticing the abnormality of the night sky slowly brightening.
Even in the middle of the night, the flames of the port, which were somewhat bright, gradually came on, and before long, the magic power of the nobles was dimly visible.
Indeed.
Is that noble the lord over there?
It was for a while that our eyes met each other.
He looked away when he saw a man appearing on the walls of Aslan talking to Triana.
“I am Karak, a vassal of Baron Aslan! Has Lord Aslan really been defeated?”
“It is true! Mercy ends here! Now open the gates!”
A man named Karak put on a bewildered expression at Triana’s words.
In the territory battle, the nobles with the same title, and the lord, had to be marked, but the opponent’s lord suddenly appeared in front of the castle. It didn’t even appear alone, it was because he led the knights.
In fact, as Triana said, it was difficult to have positive expectations about Baron Aslan’s life or death.
“…”
But even so.
Is there a sense of psychological resistance to hastily opening the castle gate?
They were still hesitating.
Realizing that, Triana’s voice grew even louder.
“Are you going to ignore the mercy of Count Leoric Franz!”
The gradually growing voice must have put pressure on them as well.
Amidst the increasing turmoil. I stopped Triana from shouting once more.
I understand.
If Baron Aslan were alive, the person responsible for opening the gate would be decapitated.
When I think about that, I know that I cannot open the door hastily. But that’s your situation, and to be honest, I’m starting to get a little pissed off now.
Homelessness in this world is inconvenient even with science, magic, and mysterious tools made of monster materials that are more advanced than expected.
Traveling adventurers and merchants, of course. Compared to the soldiers and knights who are subordinates, there may be a world difference, but as I used to live in modern times, uncomfortable things are uncomfortable.
Kwak!
I squeezed my hand.
The magic power in the body was also moderately restored.
“You don’t have to step out directly, Lord.”
“Done. Anyway, now we have to tell who the ruler of this land is.”
Not just them, but from the people to rule in the future, to the merchants working in this land.
And to the red blooded bastards.
Watching Triana nod at my words and step back, I took a step forward this time.
Immediately feeling the gazes around me, the moment I took another step, I walked up into the air.
Climb higher than the gates and walls and look down.
The man named Karak was looking at me with a bluish face. You’re doing your duty, too, but unfortunately I’m pretty annoyed. Therefore.
Kwajik!
He forcibly broke the castle gate, which was a mixture of iron skeletons, hard processed wood, and magic stones.
“Kneel.”
Dump!
Starting with Karak.
Countless commoners starting to come out of their homes, including those staring up blankly from the wall, came out onto the street and began to kneel.
“I am your new master.”
Walking slowly through the air, I gazed at the huge castle of resistance.
A huge decorated iron sword that seems to be stuck at the top of the castle that seems to be where Baron Aslan lived.
He reached for the iron sword.
Deed Dede Deuk!
The iron sword that should have ruled this land forever shook, and the huge sword began to appear in the air.
Lifted it up
A sword the size of an apartment.
I would have spent quite a bit of money just making this.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung!
He raised the sword and looked down at the city for a moment.
Where should I put it?
It must be shown that the sword that ruled this land for a long time has succumbed to the sun.
“… Hmm.”
Center.
This place also boasts a large floating population, so the infrastructure is well decorated in its own way.
In the first place, I admit that the buildings themselves are more colorful than Müller or Franz, but the huge fountain in the center of the city is in the shape of a sword.
“Your swords have succumbed to the sun.”
My voice echoes through the city and the sword falls.
After all, a device that shows that a sword is just a tool made by people.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
The huge sword stuck in the fountain could not support itself and broke.
The sword body was stuck, and the handle fell broken.
It will now be one of the city’s proud landmarks.
Name, yes
It is a broken sword.
* * *
“It’s gorgeous.”
After all, it is a city that eats money properly.
Leading the knights across the splendid resistance.
Regardless of the night, everyone is already out to greet me.
“Yes. Who is currently in charge?”
“The captain of the guard is Karak. There are no direct descendants, and there are a few collaterals, but they participated in the Territory War. The collateral currently staying in this castle is a man named Allen.”
A man with a bad complexion speaks while bending over at his waist. At the words of the man who said he was the head of the castle, a man who looked similar to Aslan approached with a bow.
“I am Allen. I have an older brother, but he participated in the Yeongji War. … So, that…”
“Oh, is that him? Triana. How did it go?”
“He is dead.”
“Right. From now on, you will be the temporary manager of this castle.”
“… Yeah.”
Allen made a strange expression.
Are you sad or are you happy?
Well, that’s not what I know.
“Here.”
Entering the meeting room at the end of a long, ornately decorated hallway, I looked at the seat of honor with the design of numerous swords.
It’s not what I’m going to say, but the nobles of this world like things like this. Come to think of it, is Müller unique?
“Put that away later. I hate to see you.”
“Yeah.”
When Triana said what I said, the expressions of the people around her darkened.
“Therefore. Now I am the ruler of this land.”
While sitting in the seat.
I looked at most of the main retainers of Aslan’s territory that I could gather at present.
Everyone hangs their heads in silence.
How long have you been in Müller, so you’ve been able to eat one more manor like this.
… Come to think of it, it seems that you have expanded your land more recently than your father did?
In the first place, it is quite rare to rule a territory this far straight away.
First of all, it must have been great that it was one-on-one with the baron.
If the war really starts, it won’t end as easily as this time… Also lack of people.
“Tell me in advance. If anyone wants to follow Baron Aslan for his honor, let him know. Let it go with honor.”
At my words, I looked at the pale blue face.
“Even if I don’t catch up very much, I don’t mean to say anything. It’s just because I wanted to solve the troublesome things in advance. If you don’t have it, let it go.”
At my words, sighs of relief flowed from all over the place.
“Then let’s decide what to do starting today.”
A sigh of relief went in immediately.
I looked at the guys who were looking at me with nervous faces again.
“From now on, you guys are dead. The deadline is one week.”
“… Yeah?”
I said, looking at the guys who didn’t understand my words and looked up blankly.
“If you want to live, prove to me that you are capable.”
After my words, the knights waiting next to me drew their swords.
I looked at useless guys in a conference room full of cold life.
“Terrorist red blood. Among them, those who have contacted the clique called Purple are killed.”
Also kill those involved.
Report and live.
“I will also kill anyone who takes a bribe from a merchant and tells me the back road.”
Report if you want to live.
Pay a bribe, donate your assets.
Punish merchants, guilds, and merchants who pay bribes.
“No way, but you must have managed the Changgwan properly, right? To submit information about it. If the slightest point is found, the neck will be blown off.”
If you want to live, show up with the weaknesses of your incompetent boss.
“The one who disturbs public order. Those who bully the weak. The one who took the bribe.”
Or something else.
“Look after each other. Eavesdrop on each other. If the other person is suspicious, report it.”
The period is until I say I’m done.
“You yourself will become the prison that entangles you.”
