Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans

They will try to find a new balance in their new environment.

“There is no need to intervene deeply. If the wind blows lightly, it will ride on its own. Aren’t nobles such a family?”

While giggling, Pavé nodded his face broadly.

I nodded to Nuadil, the Old Man on the Mountain.

“Protect him and subdue the underworld of Sodomora.”

“Okay.”

Sodomora’s underworld was a business run by blood relatives.

The work done by Hugo and Agathon to rule Wallochia.

I couldn’t openly promote in the sun, so I reached out to the dark.

Assassination, smuggling, slave trade, finance, gambling, etc…

The arena was dirty enough to look cute, and there was a lot going on.

‘Assassinate impure elements, supplying blood bags to blood relatives, intimidating and conciliating nobles, these are things that blood relatives have done through the underworld.’

The underworld also suffered great damage from this incident.

Because it was blood relatives and their servants who ruled them.

He must have been caught up in sending the servant back to ashes with the power of the ring.

“Cut out all the sinful acts they are committing. All I need are the eyes and ears they have. You must rule Wallochia from the shadows and become my eyes and ears.”

You need money to keep your business going.

You have to do dirty work to get money.

But am I short of money?

Money could be printed at any time.

Therefore, there was no need to do dirty work.

I just need to get eyes and ears all over Wallochia.

‘Walochia is over.’

Like a representative system without a mediator, Wallochia will be engulfed in civil war.

And when time passes, it will be properly filtered and swallowed by me.

“Edar.”

I turned my head.

Griff and Gerhard came with the slaves.

Despite the chaos, most slaves survived.

There would be no need to kill livestock.

He survived because life was worthless.

“I’m going to have another hectic period for a while.”

Griff laughed.

“That would be very rewarding.”

I climbed on top of the castle wall and looked down at the slaves.

In front of me, I saw a brother and sister who had been taken from a slave trader.

The wounds from the whip had washed away, and no pain was visible on his face.

The eyes of the children who held each other’s hands trembled.

“…”

The slaves looked up at me with bated breath.

They will know I am the new owner.

Recognizing the master is the most necessary virtue for a slave.

I said to the slaves who stood at a distance and waited for their master to speak.

“You are no longer slaves.”

It has been quite some time since I returned to Olymus.

The short spring has passed and the long summer that has come has come to an end.

The crops planted in the spring were being harvested for the harvest season.

From all over the place, the sounds of farmers singing for joy could be heard.

‘I’m always happy when my hard work pays off.’

I saw peasants dancing while drinking their rationed wine.

Thanks to the fertile soil of the Great Plains, the harvest is bountiful from the first year.

He promised duty free, so the harvest was entirely his.

~♬

The farmer was agitated by drunkenness, and tripped and fell.

Farmers sitting around laughed loudly and teased.

I inadvertently laughed at the sight.

“Isn’t Edar-sama also with you?”

The attendant, who had been walking slowly, said.

It was a guy with a straw hat and a foxtail in his mouth.

His job is a dragoon soldier, and he usually doubles as a pasture manager.

“done. Just throw away the atmosphere.”

“I don’t think so.”

The mischievous smile resembled someone.

‘This guy is Griff.’

I divided the personalities of my family into three.

This guy resembles Griff, Gerhard, and Rachel, among them Griff.

“Is there anything lacking?”

“Is it not enough? To put it bluntly, I lack manual dexterity. Look over there.”

The guy pointed to the sheep shearers.

A member of the family who clipped the sheep quickly and accurately while it was grazing, and Young Ji-min, who stomped around after laying the sheep down, and then fathered him as the sheep struggled.

“I am training. There is no speed.”

“hmm···.”

There was no such thing as me.

I can’t develop my lack of dexterity.

It would be a little better if I let my family members do the work instead of Young Ji-min, but if it is not a family member with a related job, the speed of learning is different, but the things you have to learn from the beginning are the same.

‘But it’s not like I can decide the job of my family.’

As if the pasture was entrusted to this guy, the Dragoon, he was somehow solving it by arranging appropriately related jobs here and there.

The guy knew that too, so he scratched his head without saying more.

“Sheep shearing expert, I would like you to make a brother like me.”

“If you can.”

He gave me an appropriate answer, looked at the fields and meadows, and returned to the city.

Now, after two seasons, Olymus’ transformation has been amazing.

The city was formed within the outer walls built over the course of several months.

In terms of area, it was wider than Sodomora.

Population density was quite low.

“Fresh fruit! It is a fruit from Germania!”

“We sell sweets, sweets! These are the cookies I baked this morning!”

After crossing the gate, the main street continued.

Just like Sodomora, the street leads straight to the permanent residence.

We set the width wide by calculating that the floating population will increase in the future.

Thanks to that, even though there are many people on the roadside now, it seemed quiet.

I stopped by one of the stores where my family members were located.

“Oh, Your Majesty! What are you doing in the early hours? I was grilling veal, would you like to taste it?”

“Take it next time.”

restaurant, or

“If you decoct these two, insomnia will go away.”

“Thank you.”

pharmacy,

“Edar-sama, are you really not going to do fortune-telling? From what I’ve seen, Edar is—”

“done.”

Whether it’s a fortune teller,

“Does it sell?”

“It’s all black, so will it be sold?”

all the way to the bookstore.

I checked the life of my family once.

‘Looks like he’s adapting well on his own.’

The reason I checked it was because I was worried about adaptation.

In the meantime, I’ve been working on my family as a worker.

Even his subordinates, who were not in combat-related occupations, were mobilized in battle.

As if there were no jobs in the family, they worked at random.

‘From the beginning of my appointment, my hands were too short.’

The job didn’t suit me, I wasn’t in a position to cover the same cold or hot meal.

Only level was the criterion for assigning roles.

It was now that the problem was resolved.

[Time remaining until next use: 5 hours 23 minutes.]

‘The waiting time has been significantly reduced to 6 hours, so I can afford it.’

Because it creates 4 followers per day.

He fulfilled his family’s demand twice as fast as before.

As Vlad weakened, the duke of the representative system also weakened.

The basic framework was also set for the development of the estate, so the urgent fire was turned off.

‘That’s why I thought I should give my family a position suitable for their job…’

I smiled when I thought of that time.

It felt like I was setting up an employment agency.

It wouldn’t be a big deal if there was a clear job and a suitable position, but there were many cases where it wasn’t.

– Your occupation is a military purveyor? I think it would be better to go to the transport unit.

– That’s good. I’ll go.

This case was the best

– professor? Well… I don’t have school yet.

– Please set up a bookstore.

Fortunately in this case,

– Indulgences salesman.

– The chapel is perfect for me. Send it that way—

– no.

This case was embarrassing.

Indulgences seller, highwayman, drunkard…

Where should I refer them?

‘In the end, we compromised by sending the indulgences seller to Rachel’s chapel, the highwayman to Nuadil, the old man on the mountain, and the drunkard to the tavern.’

can i not worry

Whether they would adapt well afterwards was another matter.

That’s why I went around to check it like this periodically.

It was reassuring to see that he was still adapting well.

‘But there’s a little bit of a different problem.’

I stopped.

“father.”

Looking back, Sister Rachel was approaching.

“Are you on a walk? It’s meeting time soon. let’s go together.”

“hmm.”

I narrowed my eyes as I looked at Rachel.

###

Conference room in Yeongju Hall.

The people who arrived first were exchanging conversations.

When I came in, I got up and said hello.

I went through them one by one and asked.

“What about Griff?”

“They say it’s late.”

I nodded and sat down.

Not long after, Grif entered the conference room with a smirk.

“Oops, am I a little late?”

【Lv. 69]

I watched Grif’s level while tilting the teacup.

On the day he hunted Vlad, his level rose significantly thanks to his active activities.

Since the previous level was 60, it was like a 9 rise.

“little? Shouldn’t have been late in the first place.”

Gerhard, who shoots Griff, climbs up again at 76 to 78.

“I also think being behind the owner is a problem.”

Nuadildo, the newly summoned old man on the mountain, is 82, up two levels from 80.

“…”

“Okay, let’s get started.”

【Lv. 93]

【Lv. 91]

Calliope and Pasimea went up a notch.

At that time, all the members of the family who participated in the battle had risen in level.

‘Honestly, I’m a little surprised.’

I thought Calliope and Pasimea were difficult to climb.

‘I killed Vlad, but I didn’t completely kill him, and I thought it would be difficult to climb higher because the levels of the two were so high.’

After reaching level 90, an invisible wall will appear.

As if there are several levels in between.

‘Anyway, good things are good, but…’

I looked down at the teacup.

‘The damage was quite large.’

The number of deceased family members was 66.

Among the more than 200 people in the family, the death rate reached 30%.

Compared to the time of Ugdash, it was a huge damage.

Even more so, even though the power was higher than before.

‘The power difference between blood relatives and subordinates was too great. The gap was so great that there was no serious injury.’

If you touch it, it’s either dead or alive.

Even though it has already been several months, the damage was so great that it hurts to the bone.

But there was value and reason to make that sacrifice.

‘Because it was an opportunity to catch Vlad.’

I looked down at the ring on my index finger.

– Inherit my power…

A murmur heard when our eyes met.

Ignoring it and covering the ring with the other hand, the voice cut off.

‘It’s useless even if he borrows the body of a blood relative and resurrects. Losing the main body will drastically decrease the level, but since I have the pieces of the soul, the drop must be significant.’

Presumably, the level drop occurred around 85.

It is a drastic decrease to the metabolic level of the representative system.

Not to mention the loss of several blood relatives.

‘The Mycena Empire is still mighty. It’s a country that maintains the top 3 along with elves and dwarves. Even if you lose the best of your blood relatives, there are plenty of blood relatives equal to Gerhard and Nuadil.’

However, it is fatal that Vlad, the focal point of the blood family, has weakened.

The relationship between Vlad and blood relatives is not an absolute master-servant relationship.

He could have harbored resentment toward him who had weakened.

‘He brought key people who shouldn’t be brought to the fore. A blood relative with the highest level of ability and loyalty in the Empire. On the other hand, the remaining blood relatives lack both the ability to manage the empire and their loyalty.’

The loss of the pillars that supported the administration of the empire,

The loss of the royal guards who regarded him as their father and devoted their allegiance to him,

This was as great a damage as Vlad losing his physical strength.

‘Now, Vlad has no choice but to focus on strengthening his internal stability while hiding the fact that his strength has weakened.’

I grabbed the pendant around my neck.

A blue jewel containing Tiamar’s soul.

Originally, I intended to drop it under the guise of a coincidence.

However, the line was cut without any delay.

‘You’re going crazy wanting to kill me. but how would you kill me You’re weak, and I’ve got everything you need Your soul and Tiamar’s soul are with me.’

Vlad will definitely come back to me.

Because you need to get his soul back to restore his strength.

I have no doubt that if I take Tiamar’s soul, I will be able to rule the world.

‘But it must not be taken away by someone else before you have both souls in your hands. I have to make sure I don’t lose my soul to someone else.’

You want to kill me, but you have to protect me at the same time.

I smiled softly.

‘You’ll have a pretty headache, mosquito.’

“hmm.”

I took out a cigarette and tapped the table.

The family members who were talking to each other drew attention to me.

“Let’s start slowly.”

“yes. Then we will start the meeting.”

Griff cleared his throat.

“This call was a little faster than usual. Since Edar-nim is going to go to Sudlet soon, I had to vacate for a long time, so I summoned him early.”

“Sudret?”

Pasimea tilted her head.

“Edar’s song.”

“Ah, it was.”

“Did you live in a monastery rather than a studio? You have completely forgotten the world.”

Pasimea, her cheeks slightly reddened, widened her eyes.

“I might have forgotten.”

Grif shrugged away from her gaze and continued.

“Then, like last time, I will report the current status of the Great Plains first. First of all, the biggest change is the population. As of last month, the number exceeded 160,000.”

“160,000?”

“How much did you accept?”

The attendants stuck out their tongues.

Before going to Wallochia, the population was less than 20,000.

It was an eight-fold increase in just a few months.

“Well, you all know why, right? That he brought freed slaves from Sodomora and settled them. Thanks to you, I suffered a lot.”

Gerhard snorted at Griff who was showing off.

“Where was it that you were alone? The Government General also died.”

“So are we. How hard it was for my children to fill the gaps left by my brothers and sisters.”

Grif clicked his tongue as he watched the clamoring crowd.

“Yeah, I forgot. You all suffered a little too.”

“…”

Griff spread the map on the table.

The map is a map of the entire Great Plains, and among them, it was noticeable that several village markers were added to the places that belonged to my territory.

“Continuing the story, it is 160,000. 16 million. That’s a lot, but the migration isn’t over yet. It will increase for a long time.”

“yes. There are still more than half left in Sodomora, and there are many people who want to migrate from the north as well.”

Gerhard nodded.

Grif pointed to the town markers he added around Olymus.

“Accommodating them all to Olymus is overkill. Everyone knows how sparsely populated the Great Plains are, right? So I built several villages in the vacant lot to distribute and receive them.”

“Is that the town you marked here?”

“yes. The number is 31. About three to four thousand people were settled in each one. Migration continues, so I think there will be more.”

The family members swallowed their words while looking at the map and documents.

Among them, only Gerhard and Griff were directly in charge of administration, and the others were in charge of different fields, so there was probably nothing to say.

“More than half of the villages are clustered around Olymus.”

“Later, as we grow the village into a city, we will strengthen the outer walls. I’d say it’s an outlying fort. Wouldn’t it be quite helpful for defense if there were several fortified cities around the capital?”

Gerhard shook his head.

“With an increased population of over 100,000, is there enough food?”

“Enough. Preparing several large food warehouses in the past has been quite effective. In addition, a window is open on the German side as well, so food income is quite stable.”
