episode 708 the unanswered kingdom (1)
guided by the knights of the kingdom, ray entered the great hall and was able to have an audience with the king.
“i heard you called.”
“ugh. i want to hear more about what happened in the capital. can you tell me?”
“what a difficult thing.”
ray readily told what had happened to king gleiman.
the thing that the bishop and priest accompanied one’s outing.
after that, when the fighters from the black room invaded and even talked about the uproar in the capital, the king’s expression was gradually distorted.
“what kind of insolence is this in the royal capital, which can be called the heart of the kingdom?”
an enraged grip tightly grips the seat of the throne.
it seemed that he was very hot.
but.
those who don’t even know who they are are messing with the royal capital, but which king wouldn’t be angry?
ray advised the king.
“you can’t stop them with mediocre troops. please increase the king too.”
“jim wants to do the same. it’s time for the nobles’ factions to fight, so we can’t hand over our troops.”
“oh, is it his clique fight even at a time like this?”
now i’m very sick of it.
i don’t even care if the kingdom is ruined or not in order to take advantage of it.
‘it’s an opportunity when the heukbang is organizing the demonic church.’
if the black room was intercepted while the two were fighting bloody, it would surely do a lot of damage.
in order to do that, a military force was essential.
even in a situation like this where all you had to do was sit still and put a spoon on it, i couldn’t be this pathetic because there was a clique fight going on.
king gleiman drool and opened his mouth.
“would you like to come forward? if you do, i’ll let jim give you temporary authority.”
in other words, it means to take troops and go to the battlefield.
it was an offer that others would be reluctant to offer, but ray couldn’t offer a better one.
the temporary powers of the king are sufficient to mobilize the nobles.
those who don’t listen can roll as they please, so there’s never been a better situation like this.
but ray didn’t like it right away.
droop your shoulders
he lowered his head and let out a deep sigh.
“haa... i can’t help it. if the others don’t move, i’ll do it too.”
the king finally admired the soldier’s courageous will to go to the battlefield even knowing it was dangerous.
“a person like you can truly be called a knight. i ask for my kingdom.”
“please leave it to me. there will be no failures.”
aristocrats who fail will be all screwed up themselves.
the king, who did not understand the meaning of the words, was delighted.
“thank you, thank you! this grace must be...”
“no. don’t think of it as grace, forget it.”
“but...”
“if you really care, it’s enough for you to invest in my principality.”
“ugh. is it? got it. then take this and leave.”
the king handed it over with a seal on parchment embroidered with gold trim.
there was nothing in it, but the nobles wouldn’t be able to object just because the king’s seal was stamped on a blank piece of paper.
at the king’s decree to celebrate, ray gave a short greeting and then withdrew.
he wiped his heart as he almost fell for his grace again.
why did i get so impatient with not being able to repay the favor?
i wouldn’t know again if i gave him money, but it was burdensome because there was a desire to keep his feet tied by bestowing him with a title.

after completely escaping from the great war, ray went straight to klein that way.
no matter how many times he had visited, klein asked incredulously, as ray had never visited in person.
if such people become commanders of the tens and command the soldiers, they will be able to hold out for a while.
but even so, it did not seem easy to overcome the numerical inferiority and drive out the heukbang.
“is this really all?”
i asked with hope, but the answer that came back was still the same.
“...i apologize.”
“i can’t move like this.”
because it will be dog death.
ray managed to swallow his words behind him.
no matter how much he was by his side, he couldn’t protect everyone.
when a battle takes place, there will be injured one by one, and there will also be casualties.
at least the damage should be reduced to a minimum.
ray thought for a moment, then shook his head.
“it seems that one day was not enough. i’ll give you two more days, so let’s convince the other nobles.”
“yes. all right.”
the nobles who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two burst into dissatisfaction one by one.
“hmm. archduke even though he received temporary authority from his majesty the king, it is clearly rude to gather nobles on the same day.”
“may i ask why?”
although they were counts of the kingdom of gleiman, they were inferior to him in terms of title.
in addition to that, even though he has the temporary authority of the king, this kind of attitude.
he could clearly see how careless the nobles of this kingdom were.
ray nodded and explained.
“the demonic cult is being targeted in the kingdom.”
“i heard the news. but who are you targeting?”
“black room.”
“black room?”
it’s like hearing it for the first time.
what would be natural
hiding in the dark is the main specialty of the black room.
it would be long to explain in detail, but it would be embarrassing to just let them know.
ray spoke roughly about the black room.
“it is a powerful force that has never revealed its identity. you know that the demonic church in the periphery has been swept away, right? sooner or later, all demonic cults in the capital will disappear.”
“so you want to stop it before that happens?”
“no. let that happen and we play black rooms.”
at the unexpected words, the nobles tilted their heads as if they did not understand.
“isn’t that a meaningless action?”
“if you don’t follow the demonic church, why are you moving troops?”
at this point, laughter comes out.
their royal capital is being violated.
it is said that the demonic church suffers the most damage, but they do not feel the need to move their troops when the enemy is holding a sword in front of them and attacking them.
are they the ones who will come to their senses only when their limbs are cut off?
“an enemy has come to the capital. it was also attacked by unknown enemies. do you think your bed will be comfortable today without dealing with them?”
the word “destroyed in the royal capital” is in line with the saying that the front line has already been breached and the enemy has entered.
at ray’s words, the nobles came to their senses one by one and thought about it seriously.
“certainly so. but...”
“um. shouldn’t we request troops from the kingdom at this time?”
i couldn’t believe it, but i thought i was still thinking about my own interests.
ray hit the platform hard with his fist.
kwaaaang-!
even the royal knights gulped down their saliva as they saw the unbroken platform with clear fist marks.
it couldn’t be more than a detailed mana control that made me admire it.
“are you all crazy? the enemy has already invaded the capital! what are you going to do with your army? at a time like this, you should stand up and shout loudly!”
however, despite his cries, the nobles only remained silent.
