Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans

“Humanity did not build a civilization by itself. It’s a greenhouse made by the different races for their plans. Therefore, the saying that it is the second nation established by mankind does not simply mean that it has a long history.”

“That’s why you’re saying it’s related to the different races.”

“okay. To begin with, Germania was not a country created by humans. It is nothing more than borrowing something designed and made by a different race.”

“But… I don’t think I see any other races around here.”

I laughed.

“I don’t go out in public. Even though Tiamar’s energy has almost faded, a little of her energy remains in Germania. It would be unpleasant for a different race to come to this land.”

But, I added.

“There is obviously a deep connection. The agreement of the representative system is ridiculous.”

Just like what Vlad had done in Wallochia, the representative system was collapsing.

Germania was a country where the representative system was officially, directly or indirectly intervening and influencing even when the representative system was running smoothly.

I’m going to erase the poison that the mosquitoes sprayed, but what’s happening in this land is more complicated than mosquitoes.

“So, even if it’s annoying, you have to approach it while cutting off each thorn.”

“The thorn in front of me must be a mosquito attached to the Marquis of Loizene.”

“well. Is it just mosquitoes?”

Rachel tilted her head to the side.

I didn’t bother to answer and continued.

“Anyway, the number of 6,000 is not enough to excite the whole of Germania. It’s an ambiguous scale, neither too little nor too much.”

However, it is not a sadlet.

“Enough to threaten Sudret. It’s not just the military, it’s because the country even exists.”

Like it or not, I inherited Sudret blood.

Using this, the nobles of Germania will regard my return as a family quarrel, not an invasion, and my threat will be entirely focused on one Duke of Sudret.

As a duke, wouldn’t it feel like a group of thieves had appeared, targeting only him?

“These two are to make the duke collide with me. At most, the duke and I gathered an army, but if we just confront each other, there will be no meaning, right?”

This was the reason why only a small number of soldiers accompanied the Marquis.

If I fully equipped the military, there would be hesitation.

“No matter how many troops the duke brings. Even if it is a relatively large number, 6,000 people in absolute numbers is by no means a small number.”

It is a number where even if you fight and win, the damage cannot be small.

Also, the cubic value for large rotations will also rise.

Either way, it wasn’t a situation Sudret would welcome.

No matter how high his authority is, he is only one of the nobles of Germania.

“By the way, how many people am I leading now?”

“All together, there are only about 600 people.”

“Rachel, you said. Too little.”

Rachel laughed out loud.

“Even if most of the army is outside its borders, it will be equally threatening to the duke. It was proven that Roesene had no will to fight me when the gates were opened.”

From the Duke’s point of view, my army will not be reduced to 600, but will look like a detached unit of 600.

This was also true of the deal between Julia Roesene and myself.

“If you think so, wouldn’t it make you want to join the advance team before the second team joins the advance team?”

“It’s bait.”

“A savory bait.”

The duke must be quite tempted.

“I will stay at the mansion of the Marquis of Loisene. To give the duke ample time to collect the tax. That way, they will look down on me even more and they will want to catch me for sharing the military.”

All I had to do was return to my country as a sudlet.

I brought an army, but even left it outside the border.

If you attack me like that… whose fault is it?

###

“…”

“Edar.”

I woke up from a flashback.

Yulia, who was riding a horse next to her, chinned.

“Stay the military here.”

“hmm.”

Rachel raised her hand and set up an army.

On either side of the conscripts, Loesene’s army split.

They set up a temporary garrison in the form of a siege for my soldiers.

I promised there would be no work, but a promise is just a promise.

Yulia put a guard on in preparation for an unexpected situation.

“How long will you be staying?”

“why?”

She looked over my shoulder.

A splendid carriage followed in the procession behind us.

“town! Ughhhhh—!”

A voice leaked from inside the carriage.

The owner of the voice was my second brother, Haral Sudret.

Immediately after treating his hand injury, he was bound and locked in a carriage.

“If this situation goes on for a long time, I will be in trouble too.”

“I think Sudret will be suspicious of your relationship with me.”

“Then isn’t it? They opened the gates, bound my son, and even invited me to the mansion.”

He clutched his forehead and let out a long sigh.

It was a sigh that naturally felt the stuffiness that had been lingering for a long time.

“I won’t let you go if you’re really lying.”

“do not worry. I don’t lie to humans.”

‘For humans.’

I smiled inwardly and looked ahead.

It was approaching the central city of the Marquis of Loisene.

The name of the city is Zauritz, a large city with a population of 100,000.

As I approached the city, I noticed the ring on my index finger reacting with a quiver.

‘As expected.’

He covered the ring with his other hand and looked at Rachel.

Looking at Zauritz, she exclaimed wow.

“100,000? It is quite big.”

“depending on? There is no bigger city than this in the neighboring estates.”

Julia Rozene shrugged as she corrected Rachel’s words.

There was pride in her voice.

‘Walochian border towns rarely exceed 10,000.’

In Wallochia, right before the opening of the Great Plains, low-level alien races such as Orcs and Goblins often crossed the border and plundered.

The border was stabilized only after the great plains were opened and humans migrated en masse, creating a sacrifice called the buffer zone.

On the other hand, Germania was located to the west of Wallochia, and because of that, it was relatively safe because it was separated from the eastern part where Orcs and Goblins lived.

In addition, the national power was strong enough to surround the entire border with a wall, so a large city could be formed near the border.

‘The Marquis of Loisene is the most powerful family among border lords. From the title of Marquis, it was originally given to rule the entire border.’

It has only been divided by inheritance and so on through several generations.

The lords near the border had the Marquis of Loisene as their founder.

Since Zauritz started with the later family, the influence remains.

So, it was regarded as a kind of small capital for the Marquis of Loisene and its descendants.

It was natural for Yulia to be proud.

“It’s still smaller than Olymus.”

wince

Julia responded to Rachel’s indifferent remarks.

“Where is Olymus?”

There was a little force in his voice.

“It is the central city of the Great Plains. It is huge.”

“There are more people there than here?”

“It’s not population, it’s size. size.”

Rachel spread her arms wide.

At the same time made the face of a smiling girl.

“Olymus is a planned city designed by my father. I planned bigger than Sodomora. There are a lot of empty places here and there because of the underpopulation, but… it must be ten times bigger than this city?”

“Ten times?”

“Ha,” Yulia laughed.

“That is great.”

His face and voice were full of disbelief.

“Is it real?”

Julia’s reaction was natural.

In common sense, how many people would the total population of the Great Plains be?

The entire population of Oroko Great Plains before I took office.

Immediately after taking office, 5,000 people obtained neighboring territories from the representative system.

Even if you add up all the pioneers spread across the Great Plains, it would be less than a few times.

No matter how many there are, the total is not in the thousands.

‘Who would believe, that it increased to 100,000 units in less than a year.’

Rachel glanced at me to say something.

Will she believe what I say?

I smiled.

Upon entering the city, the ring began to shake so strongly that it could not be stopped.

“…”

###

“Are you here, lady?”

At the front door of the mansion, the butler bowed deeply.

“Are these people…?”

“Edar Sudlet.”

The butler widened his eyes.

“Are you the master of Sudret?”

“When you give him a last name, call him Lundlingen, not Sudret.”

“Lundlingen?”

Julia tilted her head.

I didn’t bother telling him, I just smiled.

She frowned slightly and turned her back.

“My father?”

“He’s waiting inside.”

“Tell me you will see me now. This person will go with you.”

“All right.”

The butler glanced at me.

He seemed to have a lot to ask, but he seemed to hold back.

Isn’t that the reason why the illegitimate son who was exiled came with the army?

So, preparing for a turn, I hurriedly gathered the troops and went, but I visited the mansion as a guest as if nothing had happened.

It would be really strange to point out that the illegitimate child was her ex-fiancé.

‘It’s like becoming a monkey in a zoo.’

Not only the butler but also the attendants peeked at me.

“Father, I am here.”

Julia knocked on the door smartly and cautiously.

There was no response from beyond the door, but she opened it.

A musty smell mingled with the heavy air and drifted down the hallway.

“father?”

“You were quick.”

An old man was lying on the bed in the room, with only bones remaining.

I saw him for the first time, but I knew he was the Marquis of Loisene.

“Did you finish your work well?”

The Marquis looked up at the ceiling and spoke in a weak voice.

Julia knelt beside him and took her father’s hand.

Slowly, the Marquis’ head tilted to the side.

The pupil passed Yulia and turned to me.

“Are you…?”

I opened my eyes wide and closed them tightly.

“father?”

Yulia touched the marquis’s forehead.

It was a cold hand, worried that he might have a headache.

“no. It’s okay.”

The Marquis lightly pushed Yulia, who was resting on his forehead.

When she moved in front of me, she narrowed her eyes and looked at me again.

He struggled to see me like the sun was shining.

It is long past noon.

How much sunlight penetrates the room?

I knew why he reacted this way.

‘He’s dying.’

【Lv. 59]

The Marquis was close to death.

The soul began to separate from the body little by little.

It was a clear feeling of my soul.

“Who are you?”

Yulia was taken aback by the polite tone.

“It’s Edar, father. Don’t you remember?”

“Edar? Edar of Sudret?”

I opened my mouth and closed my eyes.

Since I was her fiancé, he, the father, must have seen me a few times.

“No way···?”

I brought a chair in front of the Marquis who muttered blankly and sat down.

“It’s been a while. Marquis of Rogene.”

“Is it really Edar?”

“Well, what do you think?”

“I don’t know.”

The more he looked at me, the more confused he shook his head.

“Tell me what happened.”

Yulia explained how she came to Zauritz from the border.

After hearing the story, the Marquis laughed with a mixture of coughing and coughing.

“so? You brought your ex-fiance home? Are you leaving your fiancé with a hole in his hand in the room?”

The Marquis laughed in an absurd tone, then continued to cough.

“And you… have really changed.”

Clear, undisturbed eyes turned to me.

He didn’t seem to be bothered to look at me anymore.

“As if it was overwritten by another entity. Isn’t it?”

I smiled without answering.

The Marquis tried to speak later, but coughed again.

Blood phlegm came out of the cough so loud that the upper body jumped up.

“father!”

Julia shouted urgently.

“Edar! You said you could cure it, right?”

Heal now, she shouted.

I stood still and watched the marquis, then said.

“First, I want to see how you usually treat yourself.”

“Bring Bishop Bowler!”

With the sound of busy footsteps, the god of wolves, Bishop Bowler of Horbidism, entered.

【Lv. 31]

A pale light emanated from the bishop’s fingertips and scanned the body of the marquis.

As the light penetrated his body, the Marquis’ breathing quickly stabilized.

The Marquis exhaled a long breath.

“Thank you. I wonder how I will survive today.”

“no. It’s the Marquis’s own virtue. How can this be possible if the Marquis does not receive Lord Horvid’s favor?”

I grabbed Bishop Bowler as he was about to leave the room after saying hello.

“Wait, wait a little longer.”

“Excuse?”

“Edar of Sudret.”

The bishop trembled for an instant.

“Yes, yes… if you want…”

I looked at the Marquis who was breathing evenly and said.

“You are seriously ill.”

“The time has come.”

“father···.”

Yulia called out to the marquis with a tone mixed with rebuke.

The Marquis shook his head.

“The bishop is only preventing death from coming to me by borrowing the power of God, and my body is gradually becoming no longer mine. But, can you heal me?”

I nodded.

“how? Are you saying you know what this disease is?”

“It must be the emperor’s curse.”

“Then is there nothing more to say? Their blood that seeps into my body is killing me. Only the emperor, the owner of all blood, can bring out this blood.”

There’s nothing you can do about it, the Marquis assured.

“well.”

I saw the ring on my index finger.

The ring glowed bright red and whispered to me.

– Rule over my children on this land. So you—

“There is nothing I do not know about the Emperor, Marquis of Rogene.”

The Marquis was stunned when he saw the seal engraved on the ring.

“that···.”

“as you see.”

I smiled and grabbed the Marquis’ wrist.

His bony wrists looked like they would break the moment he grabbed them.

“Do you know that the emperor’s curse is not actually an illness?”

“Illness, isn’t it?”

“yes. The emperor’s curse is not a disease.”

it’s a parasite

“Ugh!”

The Marquis grabbed his chest and clenched his teeth.

The ring containing Vlad’s soul fragment generated magic.

Magical power permeated through the Marquis’ wrist.

bubbling…

Then the skin on my wrist that I held bubbling up.

A thick stream of blood gushed out of the dark froth.

Smack!

A sound that never comes out of flowing blood.

The blood wriggled in a semi-solid form like jelly.

It repeated contraction and expansion like a heart beating.

“That’s…”

Julia covered her mouth with her hand.

“The identity of the curse.”

And a light rose from my hand.

Light, an aura completely different from Vlad’s magic, enveloped the Marquis.

The Marquis sighed as he breathed evenly in the light.
