Episode 411
Jack continued. Now is when it really gets important.
[All the heads of each race and all the kings of each race accepted, except one nation.]
Those who looked at Jack felt a strange sensation.
wonderfully.
His expression was definitely expressionless and overflowing with intimidation, but it looked like he was smiling.
Or maybe it just seemed really fun.
[The Tulkan Empire has rejected the order of the Milos Empire. Because of this rejection, I, the guardian of the Milos Empire, have made a decision based on my own rational judgment. Today, January 1st, year 1 of the Milos calendar, 1:00 PM. As of this moment.]
It was a truly ironic and rare phenomenon.
The entire continent was plunged into silence, the atmosphere was subdued, voices were muffled, and even breathing was hushed.
Instinctively, everyone knew what was going to come out of Jack’s mouth by now.
[Start a war.]
This was a thousand.
A declaration to erase the name of Tulcan from the continent.
The entire continent let out a gasp.
War, huh?
War!
Anxiety has taken over everyone’s mind and has engulfed the world.
But that was only for a moment.
[Residents have no need to be anxious.]
What are you trying to say?
[There will be no conscription, and the existing military will remain in place. There is nothing more for you to do.]
This is a situation where the word irony naturally comes to mind.
You’re going to start a war and there’s no conscription?
You’re not going to mobilize the troops? And you’re telling them to stay in their positions?
[I fight the war alone.]
Crazy guy.
psychopath.
It was a situation where those words just came out naturally.
Could it be that my pride has taken over my brain?
How can he say such cringey things so earnestly, when he neither lives nor dies by form?
And yet I thought, maybe it could be possible with that guy.
Jack just turned around.
The residents felt that the back of the person with the black robe fluttering was strangely solid, and so the communication port was turned off.
It was certainly a shocking founding ceremony.
In many ways.
* * *
The moment war was declared.
If my senses were not mistaken, the entire continent would have shaken once.
That means there are a lot of surprised people.
Of course, the numerous envoys sitting below me were equally surprised.

How can you declare war so blatantly?
And there’s no conscription? You do it alone?
Crazy guy.
It was a new feeling, but the rumors were not wrong, and this feeling was written all over the faces of the delegation.
They completely accepted the system of abolishing the title of King and unifying it with the title of Grand Duke, and did not raise any objections, but this time it seemed a little different.
“War, huh?”
The one who asked the question was King Tem-Samit Ismael of Ishmael.
First of all, the guy’s speech has changed.
The minute consideration of being careful about the title, because the nation that was abstractly believed to be founded at this moment has actually been founded.
But there was a hint of doubt in the guy’s tone.
Judging by his personality, I guess he doesn’t like the idea of not being drafted and fighting the war alone.
Judging by the way his eyes are blazing, I think he’s full of thoughts of wanting to fight Beckerman again.
Unfortunately, I have no intention of changing my mind.
“I said this at the previous summit. Let’s select about 200 of the best from each country.”
The kings of each country, or now the ‘archducks’ of each country, nod their heads.
“Call everyone by today. I’ll give you a dragon.”
Everyone looks at me with eyes full of doubt.
You said you were doing it alone? Where would you use them? That was the look in his eyes, but I just ignored him.
He raised his hand and pointed to one side of the seat.
“The final authority is Gray Cierran over there.”
Of course, I’m not stupid.
I had this moment in mind since the time I was told to have 200 high-circle mana users on standby.
“Their role is to surround all borders of Mercury, the ‘Milos Empire’, and immediately capture and confine anyone who escapes from the Tulcan Empire. Your role is to do so. There will be no enemies that are too difficult to handle, but you must still be prepared. If they do appear, call the dragons. I will install communication ports at each stronghold.”
There is only one formidable enemy to speak of here: the Masters of Tulcan.
But it’s very unlikely that they’ll show up.
Because you’ll have to deal with me.

Crown Prince? He never shows up.
If it appears to people around me, I don’t know, but at least ordinary people won’t be harmed.
My head and heart were convinced of that, but I still had to reassure the people around me.
So I plan to prepare to some extent.
“And Dennis Gunnar.”
My uncle, who was sitting next to Gray Sheeran, raises his head.
There is a law that requires a distinction between public and private, and this place is now a public space.
It’s enough to treat your maternal uncle like an uncle in private.
“Choose the best of the Taoist sect and help the ‘Commander-in-Chief.’”

“If you say you will help, what is our role… … ?”
It’s obvious.
“Border closures, what else is there?”
There wasn’t any.
That’s the role of the conductor.
The elite of the Taoist temple mentioned here refers to the great warriors including Saxon and high-circle mana users.
The number is at least one to two thousand, which is enough to seal the border. But is it one to two thousand? I think there were more. Hmm.
Anyway, the chief warrior Antonio Senna was excluded here.
I have to give it to my older sister.
“If you understand, then answer.”
“… … I understand. I will take action accordingly.”
The lower half was natural and the return bow was even more natural.
“There will probably be a lot of soldiers running away, Commander-in-Chief.”
Gray Shearan raises his head.
Even though it was winter, his face was tanned and his muscles looked firmer.
“yes.”
“Remember, looting is not permitted. If anyone loots or kills prisoners without a justifiable reason, kill them regardless of their rank. It doesn’t matter if they are ordinary people or people around me. I will leave all of that up to your discretion, so handle it as you see fit.”
Gray nodded confidently.
“The rest… … is there anything else? It starts today, so get ready right away.”
Leaving those words behind, I walked away.
A long and bitter relationship.
I was going to let it sit a little longer and wait until it was fully cooked before I could cut its throat, but that didn’t work.
From my perspective as someone preparing for an expedition to the Eastern Continent, waiting any longer would be nothing more than a waste of time.
Iskandar.
This long-standing feud with that guy is enough.
Me and my teacher leaving the conference room.
There was no one following us.
As we said in the conference room, each person has a role.
The same goes for our children.
The master asked me.
[It seems like the direction is a little different.]
When I showed an unknown smile, our teacher seemed quite curious and immediately spoke.
[Where are you going?]
My body felt quite light now.
It’s not that my body grew or anything, it’s that I didn’t have a weapon.
It wasn’t like my whole body was a weapon or anything like that.
I am a prosecutor. A prosecutor, not a wizard.
Advertisements
However, Silarion has already been passed on to Charlotte.
That means I don’t have a sword right now.
No, where in the world is there a prosecutor without a sword?
That’s why I needed a sword.
There was no need to broaden one’s horizons or anything like that.
Because very close by, a sword lies dormant in the Academy Report.
The exact name of that sword is Durandal. The divine sword Durandal.
But in my previous life, when I used it, it was called by various names other than Durandal.
At first, it was called Guimyeong, which means the cry of a ghost, and later it was called Heukcheongeom, which means an ominous sword that dyes the sky black. After that, it was called Cheonmaggeom, which means the devil in the sky uses it, and finally it was called Cheonmasingeom, which means the devil in the sky who has reached the realm of gods uses it.
A sword that is always dyed black. A sword used by demons.
I finished my final revenge with that sword.
Now, I have to go find that sword.
I walked towards the Academy Report.
* * *
The president’s office is a three-story building.
And there are three more floors underground.
To put it simply, it was just a six-story building.
Headed underground.
As you go down the stairs, you will see the door to the first report.
Opened.
The sight inside is revealed with a creaking sound.
Greatsword, rapier, claymore, flamberge, shortsword, dagger, spear, tonpa, halberd, spear, bow, etc.
There were really many types.
There were a lot of them, but the quality was poor.
Should I say that it is no better than the weapons sold on the market?
There were rusty, chipped, and even broken weapons.
Oh my, are you still out of your senses?
Who manages this place? What kind of management did they do?
I ignored it and just walked across the basement floor.
And at the end you see another door.
When I opened the door, a passage leading underground was revealed again.
Went down.
The door appears again.
Report from the 2nd basement floor.
The door opened.
Advertisements
If the first basement floor was decorated with weapons, the second floor was the complete opposite.
Because there was only armor here.
Specifically, leggings, chainmail, and linen armour and breastplate, cloth armour, leather armour, plate armour, leather armor, helmets, leather gauntlets, and metal gauntlets.
Naturally, nothing caught my eye.
This place was created as a formality from the beginning, nothing more, nothing less.
[It’s worse than I thought.]
Finally, our teacher said something.
It’s pathetic… … so appropriate.
This is a story that often comes up among academy students.
There’s nothing special about the academy report that gives you entry after graduation, so don’t expect anything, your senior said so, etc.
Are we just going to watch this go on? That can’t be happening.
“I’ll clean everything up and fill it with dwarven weapons and proper equipment.”
[Oh, are you serious?]
“Of course I’m serious.”
I didn’t plan on filling it all with dwarves.
The academy is going to grow enormously and the number of graduates is going to increase enormously, but how are they going to accommodate it all?
So, you have to mix them.
Bad things and good things.
To some, it’s a trash can, to others, it’s a coincidence. Something like that.
[It will take more ingredients than you think. Is that okay?]
I ended up laughing.
“I work. The dwarves work.”
This report would be pretty good if we just mixed in some dwarf-made stuff.
However, the weapons made by dwarves mentioned here refer to weapons made of adamantium.
Honestly, that’s not enough.
“I also plan to hide weapons made from dragon bones here and there.”
The teacher paused for a moment and then smiled similarly to me.
[You want to pretend to be a coincidence and make the Academy report a mysterious place?]
“If you’re lucky or have a keen eye, you’ll take it. Of course, I don’t intend to set a fair standard. Only those who have reached a certain level, those who have a certain level of insight and reasoning ability, will notice it. You can’t make a pearl necklace around a pig’s neck.”
The master was still smiling.
I know that too.
If these behaviors pile up, those who stand out will eventually receive more attention.
But isn’t that obvious?
If you put in effort, you should be rewarded accordingly.
How unfair it would be if we were to receive the same compensation as those who graduated just by breathing.
Anyway, my teacher and I crossed the second floor and opened the door at the end.
There was another staircase leading down like before, so I went down it.
There was a door and it opened.
