79 – Outing to the West

The solemn imperial family has fallen upon the quiet Grand Duchy of Shrelitz.

Finally, the time has come for the empire to once again demonstrate its prestige to the world.

Honey, you too wake up from a long sleep. Get ready to do your duty once again.

“It’s a war.”

Yeah, for some reason, I thought the Empire was too quiet lately.

It is said that excessive swordplay is worse than not doing it, but it has been silent for a long time.

In the end, everything comes down to the taker and the taker.

In the process, a very good justification was created, so how could I be patient with it?

“The Ministry of War is already on the move.”

“It seems that the emperor already intended to do this.”

“What do you mean, sir?”

One of the three grand dukes of the Empire, as asked by his vassal.

Kendrick Gloucester de Schrelitz thought for a moment and shook his head.

No matter how close a vassal is, it is burdensome to mention the part about the imperial family.

‘He must have been aiming for this.’

The union of the kingdoms of the west did this. I crossed the line myself.

But I wouldn’t have done such a stupid thing for no reason.

It seemed to him that the emperor had induced this situation very secretly.

Pressure in moderation, act in moderation, pretend not to know in moderation.

I had to properly lead the coalition to err on the side of impatience.

Thanks to that, unlike before, everything is working in our favor.

Doesn’t it seem that the empire has been hit in the back of the head while striving for peace?

‘Allied people are also foolish. Not even one of them was successful. Even so… Anyway, you’re still scared. A person sitting on a throne is a hundred times more terrifying than a person holding a sword.’

Hey, how can you run this huge empire without that part?

For the sake of the country and its people, sometimes a despicable cheater must be able to become a cruel slayer.

If the sword can make the empire fat and feed its people, then it should be done.

That is the unavoidable fate that politicians must have.

“Did anyone come from the War Castle?”

“Yes. I’ve been told they’re going to move the legions right away. It is said that a magic corps is also put in there. It’s been a while since we’ve had such a large-scale expedition.”

“We should prepare before it is too late. In a hurry You’re not going to like it if you’re late.”

At the words of the Grand Duke of Shurelitz, the vassal nodded his head with excitement on his face.

30 Years. It had been silent for as long as 30 years.

From the position of the Grand Duchess of Shrelitz, who is the sword of the empire, it is inevitable during peacetime.

The time had gone on too long, so I was worried that the grand duke’s prestige might be waning.

There were minor frictions, but it’s embarrassing to even call it a battle.

So Shrelitz couldn’t fall into silence and fell into a long sleep.

But at this very moment, all those worries are gone.

All that remains is to once again announce the glory of the empire and the greatness of Shurelitz.

I’ll let everyone know. That the imperial sword still has not lost its spirit!

You will regret it the moment you finally vomit that ghastly light onto the battlefield!

I thought he would lead the legions of the empire and move right away.

From what I’ve heard, it was also said that it was a gigantic march that even mobilized the magic corps.

I thought I would be at the forefront, flying the flag of Shurelitz.

“Get the people ready.”

Until the very next day, Archduke Schrelitz said that.

“Yes? Your Excellency the Grand Duke. Suddenly what….”

“A new emperor has descended.”

It hasn’t even been a few days since the emperor descended, yet another one descended.

An even more surprising thing happened in succession after that.

The corps and magic corps that were preparing to go out were returning to their places.

Has it been said that only one corps out of so many corps moves with Shurelitz?

They were vassals who couldn’t understand the situation.

So Archduke Schrelitz quietly informed the reason why the situation suddenly changed.

“In the procession to the west, John Nassen joined.”

“… Yes?”

“I don’t know what strategy Your Majesty used, but all three of his direct relatives are heading west. So we changed our plan to go with them.”

“….”

The moment they heard that, everyone shut their mouths and nodded.

The family of the Grand Duchess of Shrelitz still has the experience of going all the way to the north in the past.

Thanks for remembering. North, what beings he fought on the edge.

I wonder if I met people there who were more terrifying than any other nightmare in the world.

‘I’m looking forward to this.’

Even though a war of enormous scale, an opportunity for my family to play an active role, has been unfolded.

The Archduke Schrelitz didn’t show any regrets or regrets.

Because he clearly remembers the power of the northern fighting races he witnessed when he was young.

Rather, going west with them felt like a reward from the emperor.

The Confederacy won’t stand it anyway and will fall to its knees, John Nassen wants no glory.

Instead, you, Shurelitz, become the victor of the empire and accept their surrender.

He seemed to say that this was a reward for Shurelitz who had waited for so long.

“Nice to meet you, Grand Duke Schrelitz.”

And the Grand Duke met the person involved in the academy anti-palace incident.

“Nice to meet you. Leah John Nassen.”

This woman is the very rumored woman.

The Grand Duke of Schrelitz looked at Leah carefully with his curious eyes.

Now that he’s aged too much, though he gave it up to his juniors.

Twenty years ago, as one of the top 10 in the empire, he was widely demonstrating his innocence.

Although he has become an old man full of gray hair, he can still deal with two or three knights without any problems.

When it comes to martial arts, the first thing that comes to mind is the family of the Grand Duke of Shrelitz.

“… hahahaha.”

But even the Grand Duke of Shurelitz let out a laugh the moment he saw Leia.

The neat yet endless inaction that ordinary knights would not even dare to read.

Beyond that, there is a ferocious spirit that will crush quite a few monsters with its spirit.

Archduke Schrelitz, who grasped his general level, was convinced.

Right now, the 10 members of the Empire would have a hard time dealing with this woman in front of them.

Even if you can’t do it, the two of you have enough, and the three of you have to match the sum to be able to deal with it.

‘Even compared to my younger days….’

I have confidence as a martial artist. He has pride as the Grand Duke of Shrelitz.

Even considering all those aspects, the words ‘I can deal with it’ did not come out easily.

Even in his prime, he seemed unable to handle it alone.

‘It is true that the academy anti-crime incident was not exaggerated, but rather minimized.’

I think I know why the emperor stepped in and buried the matter in a hurry.

I thought it was because the pride of the imperial family was hurt or the prestige of the empire was falling.

But as it turns out, it seems that he was trying to prevent a great fear from coming upon the empire.

“I heard that you are going west with me this time. I look forward to.”

Another curious thing is that I can’t believe that he did such an outrageous thing.

The appearance is already beautiful enough, and the self-confidence figure is also very good.

There’s nothing arrogant or rude about it. Rather, she is a very genuine woman.

‘If I had a daughter-in-law like that, she would have been very nice.’

Grand Duke Shrelitz shook his head after thinking such an ordinary thought for a moment.

If you marry Jon Nassen, you will not be able to escape the check of the imperial family.

I wonder if my family will be able to handle that woman.

And, anyway, all of my sons are married and have children.

“Older brother. Here you go.”

Leah gesticulates and calls for someone.

After a while, a man appeared who seemed to be able to subdue three or four knights with one finger.

“Nice to meet you, Grand Duke.”

“… Nice to meet you You are the heir of Baron John Nassen.”

Unbeknownst to me, it was the grand duke who suddenly gave out a hard voice.

As someone with a certain level of skill, he has a natural wariness towards strong opponents.

Even though I was old, that habit popped up in an instant.

“This is Lear John Nassen.”

Compared to the previously introduced Leah, there is only one review for Lear.

‘Crazy.’

Already Leah alone was admirable, but this man named Brother was stronger.

Since he’s not even thirty yet, he’ll become more mature with time.

I couldn’t even imagine how strong it would become as a grand duke.

“… I have to go to the academy.”

Lear nodded slightly at the words of Archduke Schrelitz.

Originally, it was only the two of them, Leah and herself, but after seeing Kyle, I changed my mind.

It’s not a ‘battle’ that can be experienced at any time, so it would be better to let them experience it.

Above all, you have to move your body properly so that the fat you gain will fall off.

“Okay. Since you’ve already received the emperor’s name, send someone to the academy. I will lead the army and stay on the outskirts, so bring his brother out.”

“I understand, Your Excellency the Grand Duke. See you later.”

The Grand Duke of Schrelitz, separated from his brother and sister John Nassen, left the central area.

The corps were already preparing to head west.

Originally, it was only right that a large-scale expedition was much more than this.

But plans suddenly changed, leaving only one legion to move.

Duke Schrelitz, who says that the sword of the Empire will lead the legion.

Also under his command is the Knights of the Brotherhood of the Sword, which boasts an undefeated record.

When it comes to the victory of the empire, it is the grand dukes and knights who have always been there.

Thanks to this, there was no great confusion among the Imperial Legion.

“Your Excellency the Grand Duke. The wagon with the people of John Nassen has arrived.”

He said he would bring his younger brother, but he did so right away.

There didn’t seem to be any explanations, preparations, or anything like that.

“Hmm.”

As soon as he saw the young man, the youngest member of the John Nassen family, from a distance, Archduke Schrelitz thought.

Still, Jon Nassen isn’t all about monsters wearing human masks.

I wondered if there had to be people like that at least once in a while to be seen as having some humanity.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that the maknae is weak.

It was just a problem because the older brother or sister standing around him was too strong.
