Episode 184 Flip the board (4)
Canburg Kingdom troop garrison.
Inside the central barracks where the command staff resides.
With many nobles sitting in their seats with their mouths closed.
Horok-.
Lois was sitting comfortably on one side of the barracks, sipping tea of unknown origin.
And that too alone.
But no one said anything to Lois.
I was just busy swallowing dry saliva and looking at Lois’s thoughts.
That’s because their minds were complicated with how to accept the miracle of God they had seen.
Horok-.
At that time, in the silence, the only sound was the sound of Lois sipping tea.
King Rokhan VII spoke on behalf of everyone.
“Sect leader, that was… … .”
“why?”
“that… “What was it?”
There was no one present who did not know what ‘that’ the King was talking about.
While everyone was waiting for the answer, Lois asked Lorcan VII back.
“What did it look like in your eyes?”
“… … .”
After pausing for a moment, King Lorcan VII opened his mouth.
“Hello… Did Carlos come to this land?”
“In your eyes, did it look like Carlos?”
“I am… That’s how I saw it.”
“Then that would be correct.”
“… … ?”
“If you deny the miracles he performed even after seeing them in person, there is no God, but doesn’t God exist for those who fully believe and accept the miracles?”
“What does that mean?”
“Well, what does it mean?”
The king as well as other nobles were busy trying to figure out what Royce’s words meant.
Seeing that reaction, Lois smiled softly.
‘What does it mean? It’s just bullshit.’
In reality, all Lois did was transform the space appropriately to create the appearance of the god.
It was just such a high-level technique that no one recognized it.
‘How can I summon a god who I don’t even know exists in the first place?’
To those who witnessed the miracle of making tens of thousands of monsters retreat with just a single word, the illusion created by Royce would have seemed like the descent of God.
There was no need to explain this, so Lois just threw out random words for them to imagine.
As a result, steam rose above the heads of the nobles as they tried to interpret words that had no particular meaning.
Meanwhile, Rokhan VII.
“her… … .”
His slightly sighing face looked a little complicated.
He never believed in the existence of God.
But now the miracle shown by God was too great to deny its existence.
‘Hello… ‘Does God exist?’
While he was thinking about it, Duke Hughan looked at Royce and asked.
“What happens to the Snow King and the monsters? Now, the telegraph said they have temporarily retreated, but when… They might come back. If that happens, bloodshed will blow across this land again.”
Lois shook her head.
“I guess so.”
“so… “If you use your strength again, wouldn’t you be able to bring them back to the Idiot Mountains?”
The words were long, but the gist was simple.
Just like before, use some force and drive them out.
Lois smiled softly and shook her head.
“no.”
The complexions of Duke Hughan and the other nobles, who expressed their opinion in a firm voice, darkened.
I thought I would be able to drive them out without any damage if the telegraph came again like today, so I was quite disappointed.
While everyone had somber faces, Lois’ bright voice was heard.
“Why are you sending them back to the Idiot Mountains?”
“… yes?”
“He wants to go crazy, so I have to let him go crazy.”
“That’s not possible! Then the kingdom… … !”
“Who lets people run wild in the kingdom?”
“yes?”
“Shouldn’t we just make it run rampant somewhere else?”
“… “What do you mean by that?”
Lois smiled as she looked at the dozens of pairs of eyes focused on her.
“I have been praying to our Carlos for several days and have been speaking very carefully to him.”
“what… “You mean?”
“Please drive those monsters out of this land…” However, please drive west instead of east.”

“… … .”
There was silence in the hall.
And that moment.
“… West?”
King Rokhan VII repeated the word west, and then laughter and laughter burst out of his mouth.
“Haha! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
The nobles were momentarily puzzled by the loud laughter.
One by one, they also began to realize it.
What lies west of the Kingdom of Kanburg.
“If it’s the west, the empire… … ?”
“Dominant Empire?”
Lois’ voice covered the voices pouring in from all over.
“It was the empire that attacked our church this time.”
“… … ?!”
sniffling-.
Lois took another sip of tea and began to unravel what she had discovered in front of the nobles of the Kingdom of Kanburg.
One by one, the kingdom’s nobles fell in love with Royce’s story.
“… “That’s how it happened.”
As soon as Lois finished her story, angry murmurs were heard from all over the place.
“These guys are going to kill you!”
“How dare you treat us like that!”
Lois’ voice continued as if she had expected such a reaction.
“The friendship between the common sect and the Kingdom of Kanburg will continue in the future. Well, actually… “I had no intention of breaking the alliance with the Kingdom of Kanburg in the first place.”
The nobles looked slightly moved by Royce’s assurance.
Even Marquis Percilus, who is said to have had a bad relationship with Lois.
At that time, Duke Bliss intervened, his eyes shining.
“So, driving the Snow King’s army westward… … .”
Lois answered that question with a sneer.
“Shouldn’t they feel it too? “How precious is the peace that was achieved thanks to the Kingdom of Kanburg and the Church, and the peace that was created through the blood and sweat of the eastern warriors.”
The nobles’ eyes changed.
The feeling of anger disappeared and I was filled with exhilaration and joy.
“cancer! Of course! Thanks to someone, they were able to be safe from monsters and demons! “I didn’t know such grace!”
“Why did we pour so much money into building a wall? Is that all we did for the good of us? “This was done to ensure that everyone on the winter continent is safe!”
King Lorcan VII stuck his tongue out as he heard the voices of nobles pouring in from all over.
‘That’s why it was like this!’
Lois said a while ago.
There is a way to relieve both the Snow King and the Empire’s pressure.
And everything turned out as he said.
He handed over to the empire a bomb called the Snow King that would devastate the Kingdom of Kanburg.
“Hehehe.”
Even though I tried to keep my body in check, a sinister laugh kept coming out.
He was going crazy with curiosity.
What will the empire that thinks so proud of itself do with the bomb?
Also, how can you not laugh when you think of a person stomping around hugging a bomb that might explode at any moment?
Lois opened her mouth as she saw Lorcan VII grinning like that.
“So, I have something for you in the Kingdom of Kanburg.”
“What is that, cult leader?”
Royce smiled and said, hearing the tone of King Lorcan VII that had suddenly changed to a polite tone.
“Please mobilize the forces of the Kingdom of Kanburg and vacate all the private houses on the shortest route from here to the empire.”
“… … ?!”
“The Lord will lead the Snow King Legion to the Empire through that path.”
Currently, the Snow King’s army was running around nearby, with the twins taking turns.
However, no matter how monsters are, they have physical limitations.
The Snow King Bomb had to be handed over to the Empire through the shortest route before their stamina ran out.
As soon as Royce’s request was finished, King Lorcan VII responded with a big smile.
“I will be happy to do so!”
That day, the 40,000 troops gathered to fight the Snow King spread out throughout the kingdom.
* * *
Around the time when the Snow King’s army was running rampant within the Kingdom of Kanburg.
Marquis Samuel was leisurely working in his office.
‘Feel so good.’
Everything went according to plan.
The church was quiet, and it would not be strange if the monster army and the forces of the Kingdom of Kanburg faced each other at any time.
Now that a large-scale war had broken out, all the empire had to do was deal with the remaining monsters and take the Kingdom of Kanburg back.
And part of the Kingdom of Canburg that the Empire had picked up was scheduled to fall into its own hands.
‘Effort is rewarded.’
In the past, the Kingdom of Canburg was classified as a dangerous area, but with the completion of the Great Barrier of Calun, it became a safe territory.
The emperor of the empire recognized the marquis’ contribution and decided to hand over the land.
No, in fact, the duke requested this.
[Give me Kanburg? Would that be enough? It won’t be easy to deal with those Kanburg guys, right?]
[This is something I created with my own hands, so I want to finish it perfectly. If you entrust me with the rule of Canburg, I will make that arrogant Canburg your subject.]
[hmm… … .]
[Also, I will definitely uncover the secrets of the Canburg royal family and bring them into your majesty’s arms.]
[When the Marquis says that… Let me try my best.]
[thank you! I will do my best!]
[and… Eat in moderation. If you are overly greedy, you will end up in trouble.]
[I will keep that in mind.]
The secret of the Canburg royal family.
It was an endless flow of financial power.
The Marquis assured that he would find out the source of the money.
‘This must be found!’
Perhaps, if he were to reveal the source of the Kingdom of Canburg’s funds, it would go into the emperor’s thoughts rather than the national treasury.
Moreover, the emperor acknowledged.
If I find out the source of the Canburg royal family’s funds, I will turn a blind eye to a certain amount of money being taken from them.
As long as it’s not excessive.
And that was exactly what the Marquis wanted.
‘If you have enough money to build a great wall for generations… Even if you take just a little bit out of the middle, it will be several times the amount of money that the duke’s family runs.’
And if you can obtain it, your family will become one of the wealthiest families in the empire.
‘In my generation, our family will be reborn as a duke’s family!’
Marquis Samuel’s heart rose with excitement at the golden future that was now within sight.
“Feel so good.”
A deep smile appeared on Marquis Samuel’s lips.
A perfect and peaceful life found after a busy day.
It was definitely a day that would end that way.
If it weren’t for the last report that came in hastily in the evening… … .
[The monster army passes by the troops of the Kingdom of Kanburg.]
[No damage to the Kingdom of Kanburg.]
When he first received the report, the Marquis was confused.
‘what?’
Monsters just pass by adjacent human troops?
Does that make sense?
His heart pounded at the unexpected report.
‘something… There is something.’
It was a simple feeling.
But that feeling has made me who I am today.
Feeling ominous, Marquis Samuel began to move quickly.
“right now… Send all reserve personnel to Kanburg immediately! “The entire information network is always on standby!”
At the thunderous command of Marquis Samuel, the Black Frost Rat headquarters was put on alert.
And the next day.
[Disbanding of the troops of the Kingdom of Kanburg.]
[Purpose of dissolution unclear.]
[The current location of the Snow King Corps cannot be determined.]
Marquis Samuel gritted his teeth at the successive reports.
‘the feeling is… not good.’
And this ominous feeling was always right.
From that day on, Marquis Samuel could not come to his senses due to the steady stream of reports.
[The location of the Snow King Army has been determined. Current location near Zarun Territory in the Kingdom of Kanburg.]
[The Snow King Army continues to move.]
[The Snow King Army passes by the Kingdom of Kanburg.]
[No damage to the Kingdom of Kanburg.]
[The Snow King Corps ignores everyone and advances west at high speed.]
[Afterwards, there was no confirmed engagement between the Snow King Corps and the Kingdom of Kanburg.]
Marquis Samuel’s face became gaunt as the reports came in day after day.
I couldn’t even sleep because I was waiting for the information to come out.
The bleeding continues day after day.
It is the 10th day since the Snow King came down from the Baekchi Mountains.
A report that dealt a decisive blow to Marquis Samuel, and indeed to the empire, was delivered.
[If the current situation continues, the Snow King Army is expected to reach the country’s border in 15 days.]
Marquis Samuel’s expression turned pale as he clutched the report.
Meanwhile, at that time.
Lois watched from the sky the Snow King’s army stampeding in fear.
“Well, then the table has been turned…” … .”
A joyful smile appeared on his lips.
“Is it now time to make a new plan?”
