Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans

‘I’ll call you right away if it’s dangerous.’

‘All right.’

The back story was conveyed with thought.

“Have you really been here before?”

Laeragon muttered as he stretched out his feet on the table.

He seemed to be showing off a lot of things he wanted to ask me, but I ignored him.

“Isn’t there anything served to guests here?”

If the words are too long, the bottom line may be revealed.

I had to take the time to keep Raeragon from grasping me.

“I’ll give you a tobacco as well.”

Each time Laeragon spoke to me, I ordered one more.

“It tastes good. Can you bring me more?”

While tasting the sweets in the tea brought by the attendant, the ambassadors came in right away.

【Lv. 67]

【Lv. 64]

【Lv. 72]

【Lv. 69]

Orcs, goblins, naga, lizardmen, and different races sat down.

Although the level is much lower than that of Laeragon, it is an escort level, but it is a huge level in human society.

If it was a human society, it would have been enough to become the king of a great country rather than an ambassador.

However, it is not enough to say that it is enormous for the different races.

‘These are the guys who melted and used iron when humans changed stones. There is bound to be a gap.’

Still, the gap is so great when you see it in person.

To think that a strong man who plays the role of the king of a country is eating and serving as a loudspeaker or speaker.

It’s a very different world, even if it’s a different class.

‘This is why humans are treated as uncivilized.’

Civilization in this world is judged by how strong or weak it is.

A human civilization that cannot send an ambassador suitable for its class is treated as a barbarian.

‘But even though it’s so small and weak, it fights inside and eats my flesh.’

Just like Ibella tried to kill me.

“hmm?”

“human?”

That must be why I was surprised to see myself sitting here leisurely chewing on a snack.

It’s like monkeys, who should be in a zoo, sitting in their seats and pretending to be humans.

However, there was no ambassador who asked this openly.

Because he is an ambassador, he is quick-witted.

I noticed that Laeragon, who was sitting there with a puzzled expression, had invited me.

“Two are not enough.”

As he clicked his tongue, Laeragon looked at the two seats that were still empty.

“Ah, you two will be back soon.”

“Do the inspirations come directly, not the ambassadors?”

“yes. You’re right there, so…”

“oh! That’s great.”

Raeragon smiled widely.

‘As expected, he’s plotting something.’

One of the vacant seats is for the Dwarven ambassador to sit.

It’s an obvious story that elves and dwarves don’t get along.

But he welcomes the arrival of a dwarf of the same class as himself?

Don’t you hate that someone who will die for no reason will come?

‘Are you thinking of crashing into me? To put pressure on you?’

“hahahaha, everyone was there.”

Soon the two people who were waiting came in.

The two were dwarves and humans, no, vampires in human form.

【Lv.92】

【Lv.90】

It felt like the space was full just by the two of them entering the meeting room.

The inherent magic naturally leaked out and filled the meeting room.

If you are strong, you will naturally push away the magic that oppresses you, but I am weak.

I put on a calm expression, not trying to show that my chest was tight.

“Ohh. It’s the first time I’ve seen a human being in this place.”

“Doesn’t it look like you put food on the chair?”

The vampire flicked its long, pointed tongue like a lizard.

I nodded slightly diagonally and gave a small smile.

He pursed his lips as if he had seen something very interesting.

“Little boy. Did you gather them to show off your prey?”

The dwarf scratched his long beard and looked at Raeragon with a pitiful expression.

Laeragon frowned at the word kid, then snorted.

Then he explained, swinging his arms with his legs still on the table.

“The reason I urgently convened this representative meeting is because of the redistribution of territory.”

“Isn’t it already agreed to divide the neutral area?”

“that’s right. I was going to.”

Laeragon raised only one corner of his mouth.

“But variables intervened. A strong man on the same level as us wants this land.”

Same class, everyone’s eyes were fixed on me at those words.

[Time remaining until next use: None.]

representative system

###

“Equivalent?”

The king of vampires, Vlad, twitched his cheeks as if he was ridiculous.

He became a vampire when humans were hunting in the past.

Because he became a vampire from a human, he liked human blood the most, and he knew most about humans because he had the most contact with them.

That’s why I didn’t believe Raeragon’s words.

‘Human beings are an inferior race. If you don’t transcend race like me, how can you become strong?’

“gibberish.”

“Why don’t you ask yourself?”

Raeragon pointed at Edar with his chin.

Edar lifted a piece of bread from the silver platter in front of him and put it in his mouth.

The only sound was heard in the silence of the conference hall.

“It’s delicious.”

“Let’s call it Mauvrang. It’s a cookie made in honor of the Brang battle.”

“I made a shape of bread by comparing the symbol of the enemy at the time.”

“Do you know me well?”

Raeragon’s eyes widened.

Edar ran his finger over the crumbs on his lips.

“Is there anything you want to ask? Vlad von Holstein?”

Vlad looked at Edar with open eyes.

‘You know me? how?’

Glancing at Raeragon, he shrugged.

What if it wasn’t Raeragon?

There was no one here to introduce Vlad.

‘It’s strange.’

No human who had ever seen Vlad ever returned to human society alive.

The only time Vlad, who has settled outside of human civilization, sees humans is when he is looking for humans to eat.

Vlad wasn’t a mosquito satisfied with a few drops of blood.

It was a monster that would fill its stomach without leaving a single drop if its teeth dug into its flesh.

Seeing Vlad meant being eaten, and prey never survive.

“Who the hell are you.”

“Edar. The first son of the Duke of Sudret.”

“Sudret?”

Aren’t they the greatest nobles of Germania, the most powerful of the human kingdoms?

Humans have never built an empire, but if they do, the country closest to it is Germania.

Sudret was a nobleman with power comparable to that of the king in Germania,

‘Anyway, it’s just a human.’

Among the ants living in the garden, the most powerful ant can become a person.

For Vlad, Germania and Sudlet were treated the same.

Ants are not humans, and because they are not humans, they cannot understand human affairs.

‘But this person knows me even though he’s a human.’

Humans were an inferior species, as if their bones would be crushed and blown away if blown from their mouths.

However, the words spoken by the human beings in front of him are only unknown to the weak.

‘Feeling too. It also feels strangely unhuman.’

Shall we provoke him and see how he reacts?

He stretched out his index finger and let blood form at the tip.

If Vlad’s will is added, it will shoot like a needle and pierce a human head in an instant.

“Do you have something to say, Vlad?”

Edar’s eyes met in midair.

He folded his extended fingers back.

An ominous feeling that is felt strangely from the moment you enter the meeting room.

I realized that it came from Edar.

‘It doesn’t seem like he’s simply a fearless guy.’

There are two ways to check the opponent’s strength.

Fight it yourself or guess with your gut.

Vlad couldn’t read the depth in the gaze they met.

The sixth sense said that Edar’s depth was deeper than his own.

He never ignored his sixth sense.

“How do you know me?”

I didn’t bother to say ‘Sudret doesn’t know me’.

Edar gently turned the teacup in his hand and raised one corner of his mouth.

It was a mockery, as if he knew Vlad’s intentions.

“well.”

Vlad felt as if an unresolvable suspicion had become a huge wall erected in the middle of the table.

With the wall in front of him, he was unable to step forward and just exchanged glances with Edar in the air.

###

‘Geuk, even the baby mosquitoes don’t know what to do, so they whimper.’

Watching the confrontation between Edar and Vlad, Laeragon twisted his hair on his index finger.

Seeing again a similar situation to Edar’s confrontation with him in Olymus made him laugh.

‘As expected, he’s a guy with something.’

Raeragon looked at Edar with open eyes.

He also saw humans as an inferior race that would be crushed if blown.

Unfortunately, they are similar to elves, but they are ugly and do not live a hundred years.

It was a manifestation of displeasure to call a human being a monkey.

‘I said he was on the same level as me, but there’s no way he was.’

Raeragon liked to fight, but he was no fool.

With a history of more than 10,000 years, there was no one stronger than him among his own people.

Even more, humans had a shorter history than Laeragon’s age.

Such an inferior animal gave birth to two strong equals?

Reason and emotion all shouted that it was nonsense.

It was evident that the inferior animal was bluffing.

‘Though that armor guy was real.’

He clenched his fists as he recalled Calliope.

It was the first time I was simply overwhelmed by power.

It wasn’t that I fell for a bluff and withdrew.

I realized in my intuition that if I had continued on the spot, I would have died.

That’s why I bowed my pride and called to this place.

‘If this monkey is bluffing… I’ll kill him here.’

There were two more strong players of the same level as him in this position.

Even Callioper, who overpowered him, will never be able to defeat the three.

That was the biggest reason for inviting Edar and Calliope to the great ceremony.

‘But what if it’s real?’

He knew things that a mere monkey could not.

Information about Laeragon and Vlad, prayers for Maubran, and more.

‘It’s too natural to see it as a bluff that this is not the first time.’

It was also strange to see him being calm even after receiving the attention of the powerful.

‘It’s a monkey that gives off a really reluctant feeling.’

It feels like standing in front of the world tree.

How can a monkey be like the world tree?

An inhuman aura flowed from him.

It would be more accurate to say that it was more spiritual than energy.

Just as an elf felt the depth unknown while looking at the world tree.

It was on a different level from the sensation that a strong person feels when facing a strong person.

Because of this feeling, he was hesitant to step forward, even believing that Edar was bluffing.

And this feeling must have been felt by the mosquito cub and the dwarf as well.

Because there is no way they can’t see what they see if they’re on the same level as you.

‘How did he know about the wound?’

A wound caused by a fight against a strong person equal to himself who is not here.

It was only scratched by his fingernails, but it did not heal easily, as if the curse had permeated.

The wound seemed to have opened due to a violent movement a moment ago.

‘Damn it… It hurts terribly.’

Edar’s gaze went through each person in the seat.

“The dwarf over there must be Gotava, the owner of the Red Mountain. The rest will be, in order, nomic, chalet, bamaha, whitan.”

gulp.

The already heavy stillness became heavier.

It was just a name, but the opponent was a monkey.

The inferior animal that he regarded as a monkey pretended to know himself.

“…”

Everyone’s expression hardened.

‘Sudret, there’s no way that monkey told you.’

Since the representative system was created, humans have never participated.

None of the human beings have experienced it, so how do you know who is in attendance?

‘Who is leaking our information? no. Are you really human?’

He revealed that he was the son of the Duke of Sudret, and it looked like that from the outside as his appearance was nothing more than a contract.

However, in terms of appearance, doesn’t Laeragon himself look the same as the human in front of him? If even the ears were short, there would be no difference from humans.

“Are you human?”

Vlad asked the question on behalf of everyone here.

Edar put down the teacup and smiled softly as he intertwined his cup.

“Vlad. He was the one who coveted the blood of your family when humans used stone tools. You have a human form, but are you a human?”

“…”

Vlad shuddered.

‘This is… I’ve never heard of it.’

Vampires’ skin is originally pale, but now Vlad’s skin is losing its color enough to be thought to have turned bloody a little while ago.

Laeragon realized that Edar’s words were true and that Vlad had sucked the blood of his family and killed them.

Vlad opened his mouth to say something, but after a couple of squeaks, he closed his mouth.

“under! It’s fun.”

Hitting the table with his right arm, Dwarf Gotava burst into laughter.

Gotava raised his chin, brushed his beard, and glared at Edar with eyes burning like a brazier.

“Don’t you think it’s too old a story for a monkey who can’t live even a hundred years to know?”

“I guess so.”

“Don’t talk nonsense about me. I don’t know how far you know.”

The momentum emitted by Gotava enveloped Edar.

It was an intense force that might have caused his heart to explode if he had been weak.

‘Gotava is an old man stronger than me. Enduring the energy of that old man means that he is strong enough, or that he has no fear.’

Edar sat still and met Gotava’s gaze while receiving momentum.

Eddar raised the corner of his mouth at Gotava, who snarled and showed his teeth.

To Raeragon, that smile meant that no matter how much mana and how powerful the energy was, it would be laughable.

Gotava must have had the same idea.

Heh, I snorted and took the pressure.

‘Apart from the baby mosquitoes, did the old man step back?’

Laeragon’s expression crumpled.

If all went according to plan, Vlad or Gotava would have to subdue Edar.

Even if the prince of the elves claimed to be of the same class, there would be no fool who would naively believe it.

However, the two people he trusted withdrew without much success.

Laeragon chewed on the sweets with a look of discomfort.

“You don’t have to ask me. Isn’t this place just for that in the first place?”

“Yes, it is.”

At Gotava’s glance, Laeragon lowered his feet from the table and clapped his hands.

Soon the attendants came in and unfolded a giant map that filled the table.

The map was a world map that detailed the world to match its size.

“As you can see, the areas of each country are colored. Here is the reason why this representative festival was convened. Oroko Great Plains. It’s colorful, so it’s a bad feeling.”

The area called the Oroko Great Plain was mixed in color because the tribes belonging to the great cause split the land and ate it.

The place Raeragon pointed out was painted the same color as the elves’ kingdom.

Olymus was but a village within it.

“Everyone knows. What I decided to receive this land But when I went today, there was a human who said he was the owner.”

“What happened?”

“I don’t know. According to this human here, Sudret gave it to him first.”

“I have a contract with both sides.”

Gotava let out a laugh in a way that was absurd.

The reaction of the other ambassadors was also the same.

“so? How do you want me to handle it?”

It was Edar who took the question.

“According to the custom of the representative ceremony.”

“It’s a custom…”

Gotava stroked his beard.

“you. Do you know why the representative system was created?”

“When there is an argument between each other, it is to persuade rather than fight.”

“that’s right. Then, how do you think that persuasion is done?”

“You just have to show that there is more to lose than to gain, isn’t that the tradition of representation?”

“I know that too well.”

He laughs and gives compliments, but his eyes don’t smile at all.

He shot an intense eye light as if he were about to wield an ax on his back.

“human. Oroko was originally a neutral zone. The Neutral Zone Treaty is gone, so whoever plants the flag first becomes the owner. If you want to claim territory for the dwarves, you just have to plant a flag or show them the power you deserve. If you don’t hand it over to me, you’ll be beaten badly.”

To say that you have to show your strength in a system created to avoid using power.

It seems incoherent, but the Daejeon system has been running like that for a very long time, and at least it is still running well.

‘Even a dwarf can be helpful sometimes.’

Laeragon put his mouth together as if to whistle.

Even if elves and dwarves don’t get along well, they recognize each other as equals.
