Episode 226
“Inspiration.”
“Tell me.”
“Let’s use the knights of the Duke of Ascension and the magic troop called Valencia, the private soldiers of the old man.”
“How do you mean?”
He pointed with his finger at the guys lying on the floor, groaning.
“First, I’m going to destroy all of those bastards’ circles. Don’t worry about the high-circle mana users, acquaintances, or anything like that. I’m going to make every single one of them into losers.”
“… … .”
“And put a collar around their necks and cross the kingdom once. And on foot.”
“… … .”
“Go around every single territory in the kingdom. From the ones in the mountains to the countryside, everything. I want to give them a death they can’t even imagine as a high-circle mana user. A death that will be extremely humiliating and shameful.”
Pick a smile and everyone, including the inspiration, gulp.
“You’ll get stoned, you’ll get beaten, you’ll get food thrown at you. Let them hit you. Don’t let them wash, and make them like dogs, like garbage that can’t be recycled, and make them suffer as much as possible, and when they’re close to death, let them recover. You know what I mean?”
“What if someone dies while crossing?”
I burst out laughing.
“Oh, I forgot. Let’s do this. If you survive until the end of your journey around the kingdom, I will restore all the broken circles and spare your life. Tell them that.”
The inspiration asked.
“Are you serious?”
no way.
“I’m not crazy or serious? It’s just a false hope. I’m not the type to say two things, but there are exceptions sometimes. Those guys are one of those exceptions. It’s fun to play with those guys like that. After the crossing is over, kill them all. Cut off the heads of the bodies and dismember them. Bury the rest in the mountains or feed them to the dogs. Oh, I forgot that. Just break the hearts. It shouldn’t be that hard, right?”
The old man, who had been silent for a moment, finally nodded.
The atmosphere is roughly organized.
“It was bound to happen sometime anyway. Of course, it wasn’t like this, but what can you do? You have to deal with what happened.”
That was when.
Gray, who had been quiet, asks in a cautious tone.
“Your Majesty, may I ask you something?”
“What is it?”
“I know that Confucius is not afraid of things like rumors.”
Don’t be afraid, that word was a bit inappropriate.
It would be more accurate to say that I don’t care what rumors are going around.
For once, I nodded.
“First of all, if the fact that the punitive force was annihilated becomes known throughout the kingdom, then it will become known why they made that choice.”
Pick, I ended up laughing.
Because I’m not stupid, I understood exactly what Gray was trying to say.
“Many of the nobles I killed were closely related to those who held the command of the punitive force, and when I killed the nobles, those who held the command of the punitive force rebelled and pushed for naturalization to the Tulcan Empire, and committed the crime… … So in the end, this happened because of me?”

I raised my head and looked at Gray.
in other words.
“Let’s make a proper arrow catcher instead of just me and the 99 over there?”
“Yes, it just needs to be a little bit more refined. Duke Malone was actually alive, and he secretly ordered Shushair Malone, the commander-in-chief of the expedition force and his adopted son, to instigate internal strife in the expedition force and kill them all. And the Duke, who ‘too late’ noticed it, took revenge on them, if we just package it a little bit… … .”
He raised his hand and stopped Gray from speaking.
“I understand what you were thinking when you said that. I felt it and understood it. Let’s just manipulate what happened a little, spread lies to people that aren’t true, and make the lies seem true.”
Let me be honest.
As soon as I heard that, I got a little, really a little angry.
“Do you know what the first thing Julius Teslan did when he founded his country was his aides?”
Judging by my tone, it seemed like everyone there knew how I felt.
Gray’s tone also became a little heavier.
He answered.
“… … I don’t know.”
Said.
“Valentine Milos, the great hero and the true hero who opened the world, asked to erase her name. The funny thing is, those who asked for it were originally those who had been incited by Julius. You know this because you’ve been involved in politics. The reason why they set up a Go-Stop game is because it’s politics. Because it’s the justification.”
He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then continued.
“Naturally, Julius gave the okay sign as if he had been waiting, and the others did not spit it out. That’s how history was falsified. Valentine Milos became the greatest demon in the world, and the black magic she used became a cursed magic. All the students who learned black magic were killed, and everyone related to Valentine Milos died. Except for one person who went missing.”
That one person.
It wasn’t specifically mentioned.
“But do you tell me to see the things that the guys who erased my name now?
“……sorry.”
Gray acted quickly, but that was it.
“Everyone, open your ears and listen carefully.”
Roland Lynch, Harold Lynch, Gray Shearan, Lagrem, Rommel Einhard Assenble, Bellamy Cragg, Galadinah Lafayette.
All of them, except for the Lynch family, Bellamy the tower owner, and Lagrem the informant, are my people.
The four people who are excluded are at least directly or indirectly connected to what I am trying to do or all my actions.
So what I’m saying now applies to all of them.
“I absolutely hate it when people package things that aren’t there as if they are, and manipulate things that are false into seeming true. I absolutely loathe it.”
“… … .”
“I have to leave the truth that I have to do with the truth. I do it.
I turned my head and looked at Gray.
“But you want to manipulate it? Gray, are you suffering from some kind of mental illness that I don’t know about?”

“No, absolutely not.”
“I know, you said that because you were thinking of me. I know everything, but I’m just feeling dirty right now. Do I look like a punk who needs to manipulate something to you? If that’s the case, tell me now. I’ll just kill them all so they won’t say anything else. Isn’t that easier? Just kill them all and cover it up. You can just live like that piece of trash. No?”
“… … My lord, I am sorry. I think I made a slip of the tongue.”

I slowly turned my head and looked at my inspiration.
“Rommel.”
“Tell me.”
“Start today.”
“… … Okay, I see.”
He raised his hand and tapped the table.
“Everyone else, just leave Gray.”
Chapter 2
Many were heartbroken by Jack’s actions, but here in the imperial palace of the Tulcan Empire, there was a different type of person.
“Hahahaha.”
Crown Prince Iskandar Tulkan was smiling.
Things happening right before your eyes.
Even though countless blackened ghosts were destroying, tearing, and killing everything around them, his laughter did not stop.
“Spread the shield!”
The wizards deployed their shields.
“charge!”
The knights rushed in.
Tens of thousands of blackened ghosts.
The pointed spires that were the symbol of Tulcan collapsed, and the corners of the spires flew all over the palace.
Boom-!!
Kuung-!!
Also hitting the shield.
There were also buildings that were destroyed in the same way.
“ha ha ha.”
The crown prince’s laughter did not stop.
Because it was really fun.
“Ghosts? This is the gray army from the sky that appears in the novel. Oh my god.”
By his side is Heynckes Beckermann.
He was being guarded by the man known as the strongest man in the human race.
So maybe that’s why I can laugh while looking at the knights and wizards dying right before my eyes.
No one could say anything to the crown prince, ‘except one person’.
“Are you laughing now?”
Iskandar Tulkan was the leader of the hardliners.
The opposing force.
Moderate.

The one leading them is Tamar Tulkan, Iskandar’s younger brother and second prince.
He scolded the crown prince.
“What on earth are you doing? How can the crown prince, who is supposed to ensure the stability of the country, be laughing in this situation?”
The crown prince, with a smile on his lips, slowly turned his head.
“Ghosts? I have never heard or seen anything like this. By any chance.”
“if?”
Tamar Tulkan’s expression was cold.
But both eyes were filled with laughter.
As if he had found my weakness.
Eyes that seem to have found the distance to attack.
What on earth are you trying to say?
Tamar said.
“Isn’t this the work of a dragon?”
“Dragon?”
“I know you experimented with baby dragons not too long ago. What if the legendary dragon knows about it and wants to retaliate? What if this ghost is just the beginning of that revenge? And yet you’re laughing.”
There certainly was some truth to it.
Oh, it’s different, it’s a different law.
Now there was some solid evidence.
It’s true that they experimented on baby dragons, it’s true that the lab was blown up, and it’s true that this happened shortly after that, so all it takes is a few reasons to turn a simple continuum of events into something more plausible.
Tamar was after that.
This is a political fight.
It was an impromptu attack concocted by the leader of the moderates to politically attack the crown prince.
“My, lovely little sister.”
But every attack is an attack.
The crown prince was reading everything.
Because he was a genius.
“I’m starting to get bored now. Your stereotypical nonsense, your childish self-control that can’t control your desires. My dear little brother. How many more chances do I have to give you?”
Iskandar thought about this.
How can a person move exactly as planned without going off the rails even a little bit?
Should I say that it is like a novel that flows as it is written?
Iskandar certainly felt that way.
But look at the situation now.
A ghost.
And what was it like before?
Kronos returned to the palace as a Death Knight and blew himself up.

I guarantee you this, but it’s something you wouldn’t expect.
It was just an absurd variable that I never even thought of.
That’s why I laughed and why I’m still laughing now.
‘Jack Balantier’.
Because that person was absolutely unpredictable.
Then Iskandar slowly raised his hand.
So naturally.
The mana in the air vibrated, and at the same time, thousands of ghosts stopped in their tracks.
Perfect bondage.
A knight who stopped swinging his sword, and a wizard who was holding a staff.
Tamar, the second prince, and numerous vassals and high-ranking nobles.
Their eyes all open wide.
“What is this…? What is this?”
There was no one who could answer.
Because everything was in progress.
The crown prince’s hand was naturally grasped.
Kwajik-!
The ghost disappeared from that spot.
To be exact, the mana in the air that responded to the crown prince’s gestures simultaneously bound the ghosts, completely crushing them while bound.
In other words, it has disappeared.
The crown prince slowly lowers his hand.
