All Warriors Are My Disciples

67. Determining the King’s Row

According to the settings in the game, there is only one official country on the continent.

Of course, there are some autonomous districts in areas where elves and beastmen live.

However, in a broad sense, they all belonged to one kingdom.

And a place like the heart of the kingdom, ruling over its huge territory.

The capital city, where the owner of the kingdom, his family, and loyal servants reside.

Of course, it has to be the most important of all places.

If the king dies suddenly, the royal family is scattered, and the royal castle collapses.

The chaos will be so great that words cannot describe it.

But there’s no way the warriors and my disciples don’t know that.

The monsters are summoned from the castle and the demons are playing.

I couldn’t move right away while the fragments of the Demon God appeared.

It sounds like you weren’t prepared in advance or even vigilant.

At first, I was curious about the reason, but soon I was able to predict the situation right away.

“Of course, the royal palace would not be happy with you. For the continent, for the kingdom. For people, for justice. And they say they are fighting to keep the peace!”

“….”

“After all, a hero is a powerful being who is not controlled by the royal palace. Because those who follow the hero are also a military group that is loyal to individuals, not to the royal family. Am I wrong, Gerard?”

“You saw it correctly. That is why.”

It’s not that I don’t understand the position of the royal family.

Originally, all negative revolutions proceed in this way.

A militant faction that is more popular and more popular than the royal family.

At first, it might not have meant that way, but later it was either voluntary or unintentional.

In the end, the moment the spear is held upside down with a different intention, the country turns upside down.

And if the country turns upside down, the former Narat will be blown away.

It should be, but the atmosphere inside and outside is so vicious that even the public is shaken.

Those who are called warriors who have fallen from nowhere are holding back the public sentiment.

Even armed groups that follow them have emerged and are following them.

In this situation, what if they had a different mind?

I assure you, the country will turn upside down and the owner will change.

Because warriors have the power and social prestige to deserve it.

“They are stupid. I hope they just step out like us and catch some monsters.”

Iris, who was sitting next to me, grumbled in a bolmen voice.

“That sounds silly, Iris.”

“Why do you say you are stupid, the death penalty?”

“The royal family doesn’t just have to kill monsters or monsters like we do. If the royal castle’s troops are taken out right away, other nobles can plan enough other things, and even if that’s not the case, the defense of the royal castle itself will be weakened. So, conversely, it makes it easier for hostility to invade.”

“So what? I can’t do this, I can’t do that either. So, aren’t we going to take care of everything? Then you should be thankful. Even though you can’t, are you wary of us?”

“… I am just as frustrated about that part.”

“Master. Am I the only one who wants to break the heads of those bastards?”

Obviously. Maybe only Iris is like that.

I want to clap my hands at the stuffiness and just go and beat them all up.

But there are rules of the world that work here.

Where there are still kings, nobles, and commoners who support them.

The safety of the king and the firmness of the royal family are the stability of the country. Furthermore, it is the stability of the whole community.

I can’t say anything about crouching down to protect it.

Indeed, if the king dies, the chaos and collapse will not be able to be prevented by even a hero.

Because everyone in the castle knows that, the first thing to do is to protect the palace.

“I, senior Iris. That’s all there is to it. Therefore, the authority to formally punish seniors and others. Didn’t they even give you something to punish nobles in the name of the royal family?”

Iris cleverly points out that part.

The authority to punish not only commoners, but also nobles in the name of the royal family.

That means that no matter what the warriors do, the royal family will protect them at least once.

It means that the royal family will endure the resentment even if they do something shameful.

Even though the backlash from the aristocrats must have been tremendous, it could undermine the authority of the royal family.

The fact that they did that much is proof that the royal family is treating their warriors in their own way.

Nevertheless, because of the power structure, he hates approaching the royal castle.

Even if the warriors came without any intention.

If you look at history, when you were careless like that, things broke out and the country collapsed.

“This is quite a headache.”

“So, Master. If you are going to head to the capital, it would be better to reduce the number of people.”

“Tell me exactly, Gerard. How do you want to reduce it?”

“It’s simple. Putting all the attendants behind them.”

“Will that alone make the Royal Castle feel at ease? It’s not that the hero can’t fight because he doesn’t have followers.”

“Actually, the next one is for real… To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend it too much….”

No matter what it is, you have to listen to it first before making a decision.

When I asked him to speak quickly, Gerard cautiously continued.

“Notify the king in advance, and together with the king’s troops when they reach the vicinity. In addition, I will move with the royal knights.”

Kwaang!-

As soon as Gerard finished speaking, Iris jumped up from her seat.

I got up so hard that my willpower fell backwards.

“Death penalty. What does that mean now? We, no, even Master. Being watched by those weaklings. Let’s take the shape of taking some kind of criminal, what are you talking about?”

“… If I had to compare it, it would be something like that.”

“What nonsense! Master. Are you just going to listen to this? You have to make sense!”

Iris keeps glaring at Gerard while whimpering.

The strong bow down to those who are much weaker.

About that part, Iris probably won’t understand even if she dies.

“Gerard.”

“Yes, Master.”

“I can roughly understand what you were thinking when you said that. He must have wanted to show it to the King’s side. I bow my head and bow my pride. He had no other thoughts. Called.”

“… For now, yes.”

“It’s not like we’re going to do something bad, should we?”

“Master is right. I’m never happy either. Rather, I hate it so much. However, this is the best way to head to the capital without incident while minimizing confusion.”

“Ah, death penalty! Really! Master! I’d rather just go straight in. Why Master, why should we? What have we been through so far? How strong! Why are you sleeping!”

Thong-.

There is nothing good about raising your voice for no reason.

So I lightly tapped the table with her fist, and Iris flinched.

And then ah! She does, and after some temper tantrums, she eventually straightens her chair and sits her down.

“I am not happy. I don’t even want to.”

“That’s what Iris does, Gerard.”

“I understand. I don’t want to do this either. However, if Master insists on heading to the capital, isn’t it because something happened there?”

“… Perhaps.”

“If you don’t want to, you might be able to enter the castle, but in that case, the method I came up with is the best option. The palace knows anyway. They are at a level where they can barely block a single warrior with their own strength. It is said that there are countless number of powerful people in the kingdom deployed in the capital, but even if all of them are combined, it is difficult to predict a victory against one of us.”

“Are you trying to give them a plausible picture and justification? After all, if we make a mistake, we can throw off all bridle by force.”

“Isn’t Master like that? Being a hero isn’t just about being strong. He said that we must end the world’s enmity and put an end to confusion.”

As Gerard said, he definitely said that to his disciples.

No matter how well you fight, you’re only half a warrior after that.

You have to know how to take care of people, and you have to know how to lead.

Even if both of those things are impossible, you should at least ‘pretend’ to do so.

For the world to lean on and rely on its champions, lest it succumb to hostility.

I had to be able to act at that level.

“Iris.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Guess why I’m going to the royal castle now.”

“… Yes?”

“Why, of all things, do I want to go to the capital, where the warriors are uncomfortable. Tell me why Whatever the answer, throw it at random.”

“Uh uh…. Uh….”

Iris vigorously shakes her head.

You may worry about whether you will be able to pick out the right answer.

But the Iris I know will eventually reach the right answer.

He has a strangely high luck level, but he has a good sense of humor.

“Maybe, Master. Will a strong enemy ever appear?”

Yes, like that. In such a way, it is absurd to arrive at an answer.

“Right.”

“Huh? Really?”

“It is very likely. Since the capital is the most important place on the continent, it is also the most solid place. But if you pierce it properly just once, the next one will go smoothly.”

“If the capital collapses, not only the area but also the entire kingdom may collapse.”

“Yes. I am concerned about that part and want to go to the royal castle. So, what about Iris? Enemies strong enough to be on my guard may appear in the castle. If this is the case, would you like to go to the royal castle? Or would you like to go?”

It’s a question you can ask.

Even if you have a han to bow your head to the weak.

Even if they become a spectacle for disgusting bastards who live for their taste.

Iris was never the kind of guy who could give up a fight with the strong.

“I have to go. Absolutely have to go This is a must go!”

Where is the guy who just said he never wanted to go to the royal castle?

The only thing left is that he’s going to run to the castle right now with his face reddened.

All that was left was the bull, who literally wanted to run into it and let out a rough breath.

“That’s right. Then, for now, let Iris go. Iris?”

“Of course I have to go. Even if it means lowering your head, for more than that.”

According to Iris’ memories, the warriors and I will arrive only after the castle collapses.

In the meantime, Xenia managed to prevent the situation with Daisy and Lily.

Instead, they all said they were injured, so this time we must reach before that point.

Knowing that, Iris agreed to bow her head.

“Gerard? Are you okay The knights under your command will be very disappointed.”

“What can I do? If it’s to avoid unnecessary suspicion, I’ll understand.”

“Yes. Then Iris and Gerard, both of you, talk to your subordinates. As soon as that is over, we will immediately depart for the capital.”

“Me, Master?”

I was about to get up, but Iris grabbed me.

When I look at him, he mentions a person I had forgotten.

“What about Master Tae?”

“… Master? Why Master?”

“Wouldn’t he be the one who would be most offended if I told him to give his hands and feet to those in the capital?”

… Ah.
