Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans

Just dealing with the parasite and ending it is a complacent ending.

Therefore, I demonstrated the treatment in front of a crowd.

“This wasn’t a curse…”

“Has the scar gone too?”

“The light…”

The crowd marveled at the sight of blood coming out of my skin when I touched it.

I was surprised again to see the sick man with a clot of blood regaining his strength.

I was astonished at the sight of the wounds disappearing from the body of the sick, not the curse.

“A miracle, a miracle.”

“The priest works miracles!”

“The real priest has arrived!”

‘Cause my spirit was growing

I, who had only cured one child in Sodomora, now healed all the sick in this city, but my spirit was not lacking.

“Priest!”

“Forgive us for our ignorance!”

The crowd who witnessed the treatment exclaimed.

The number of the sick was not great, but the crowd saw.

I saw that their wounds were healed and that my hand was shining.

Knowing that light was not magical power, but similar to the divine power emitted by the priests of the church, they regarded me as a priest and gave me the sign of the cross and praised me.

“That power, after all, you are…”

On the other hand, the Marquis of Loisene noticed part of my strength.

“I have seen Horvid. If you’re a prestigious noble, you should go see Horvid. I saw him too.”

“Were you satisfied?”

“Satisfaction? It was more than that. Seeing him was so… so blindingly daunting. Yes, it was a really daunting light.”

The Marquis raised his head and looked up at the sky as if deep in thought.

“But it wasn’t as bright as when I first saw you.”

He narrowed his eyes and looked at me.

“For some reason, I can’t see the light from you anymore. I can no longer see the glare that I saw a moment ago.”

“Well, maybe I was hallucinating because my energy was waning.”

“Do you really think so, Edar?”

The Marquis faced me.

It wasn’t the eyes that I believed were hallucinations.

Instead, he looked at me with confident eyes.

I responded by raising the corners of my mouth without speaking.

“What do you want from me? It’s not like he just took pity on me and helped me. It’s not like he killed the bishop just to ask for military passage.”

What do you want? he asked.

“I want Germania.”

The Marquis’s confident eyes trembled for an instant.

“As expected. It’s strange that it doesn’t. So did you help me To gather comrades.”

“Germania is too big to rule with 6,000 people.”

“Because the interests are so intertwined.”

“Germanians have high self-esteem.”

“Very high. Sometimes to the point where I want to stand above my master.”

He scratched his forehead and spoke.

“It won’t happen if I alone raise your hand. Even if you don’t know, I’m like a candle in front of the wind. No matter what I try, it won’t help much.”

“One, ramen.”

“okay. If there are several, it will be a little different. But that’s a little different, too. This country is not something you can have because you want it or because you are strong.”

The voice changed to a firm voice.

“The owner of Germania is different. A king is just an agent of his master… no more than a servant.”

And he laughed lowly as if mocking himself.

“Even that sudlet was not chosen by the master. But, do you think it’s possible? You who killed the bishop lost a lot of trust.”

“It’s a trust…”

I asked with a smile.

“Do you know who the owner is?”

“Don’t you know? The races that have created civilization in this world elect their representatives and rule the world. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I do know that representatives of civilizations conspire to rule the world.”

He let go of his voice and lowered his head.

“There are no humans among them. Therefore, the fate of human beings is determined under their discussion, and Germania is one of the positions given to their most trusted lineage.”

“It’s called a representative system.”

“A representative?”

The Marquis raised his head.

“A place where the representatives of the civilization you mentioned gather. that’s the representative. Dragon, Elf, Dwarf… This is a place to discuss how the eight races will rule the world.”

I let out a low laugh.

“And the Wolf Church, no, the Horbid Church, is a governing body created by a representative system. I have to rule over humans, but they can’t come to this land directly. I set up a representative who can handle this, and that representative is Horvid.”

To be precise, Horvid is the manager of the seal.

A selected custodian to manage the seal of Tiamar.

And as humans were needed to maintain the seal, Horbid also managed humans, and for easy management, he became a self-proclaimed god and established a church.

“Did you say you lost the trust of the delegates for killing the bishop?”

I laughed out loud.

I couldn’t hold back the laughter that came from deep inside my body.

It was so funny that I laughed until my waist fell backwards.

The Marquis didn’t know why I was laughing so he blinked.

“There are eight races of the representative. But did you know that there are nine seats? Who do you think the seat belongs to?”

He put his hand on his chest and said with a smile.

“It is mine.”

The Marquis widened her eyes.

“The ninth seat of the Grand Prix belongs to me.”

I am the CEO, do I need trust?

I put my hand on his shoulder and said.

“Therefore, I give the order as the representative of humanity. Please do not send bounties to anyone in the future. Also, stop buying and selling humans.”

###

I cleaned the city over several days.

He grabbed servants hidden throughout the city and robbed temples of the Wolf Church.

The temple was infested with parasites called the Curse of Servants and Emperors.

There were more oak barrels hidden than were broken in the square.

“Are you going to erase the border altogether?”

Upon receiving the report, the Marquis of Loisene stuck out her tongue.

A small city can be razed to the ground with a single oak barrel.

There were over twenty canisters full of parasites.

‘Why? Why did you increase the number of parasites?’

I had my doubts.

It was an unforgettable act.

Has so many parasites ever been used?

It was the amount that the Marquis literally made the border into no man’s land.

In my memory, the emperor’s curse had never been so prevalent.

‘The future has changed.’

They also found correspondence between the bishop and his servants.

A more recent letter from Nuadil, the Old Man on the Mountain, from Waloka.

It contained a conspiracy not revealed in the previous correspondence.

‘Are you trying to reduce the number of humans?’

When, where, and how can the emperor’s curse be spread?

The discussion about it was contained in the correspondence.

It is not specific or precise.

But it was quite extensive.

‘Right now, it’s limited to Germania. However, we also discussed ways to spread the parasite throughout Wallochia, neighboring countries, and human territories.’

I frowned.

‘At least it’s just the beginning.’

If you’re lucky, fortunately.

The person leading the plan in Germania was Bishop Bowler.

And the place where parasites are farmed is also here, Zauritz.

Both were problems I solved.

‘It will be difficult if I don’t root it out quickly.’

The plan has already begun.

Catching Bishop Bowler is not the end.

It wasn’t something led by some priests and servants.

‘The only thing that can do this is the representative system.’

It was Vlad who created the emperor’s curse.

However, it is the servants and priests who are spreading the curse.

Horbid’s Wolf Cult cannot be controlled by Vlad alone.

‘Establishing the Wolf Bridge is a representative system.’

The power that Vlad can project into the Wolf Cult is only part of it.

Doing this with only a fraction of it?

Outright violating an agreement in Wallochia?

‘It’s not Vlad’s will, it’s the representative system.’

It was clear that the representative agreement was being made behind the scenes.

Ignoring me, who has the ninth seat.

Even if they were in the same place, they were not treated the same.

‘A movement that hadn’t been done before. for the purpose of killing humans. The target area is the route I move and its surroundings.’

Isn’t it obvious

The intention is to turn the bar you hand over to me into ashes.

Knowing that I was targeting Germania, I tried my hand.

‘This viciousness, this boldness. This is the representative restraint.’

still holding back

Because Tiamar’s influence remains.

He would not project his power directly on Germania.

But indirectly, they will try to kill or sabotage me.

in a way that is called proxy warfare.

‘The Wolf Bridge and the Servant joined hands. Is there any guarantee that those who claimed to be slaves of other races would not hold hands?’

Not all nobles are slaves of a different race.

Priests and servants are absolutely loyal to Horbid and Vlad, but nobles who give gifts to other races show great differences depending on their individual tendencies.

Just as the great nobles of Wallachia, Duke Magenkin and Count Hugo, fought for different purposes even though they served the same race.

Unless they were priests or servants, the relationship between the nobility and the other races was close to a feudal relationship in which loyalty was given to one’s own interests.

Loyalty to a different race was so sweet that even if the depth of loyalty was deep, it was just too deep.

‘The Marquis of Loisene is such a case. That’s why he became a scapegoat, was cursed, and even created a parasite farm.’

If I had been a little late, the marquis would have died and the city would have perished as well.

‘At this rate, Germania will perish. Many people in this country will also be exterminated. No one will survive except those who are loyal to the other race as if they would dedicate their souls to it.’

I narrowed my eyes.

‘That said, if I go through all of Germania by myself, I’ll only be swayed by the words of the different races smearing honey on their lips.’

How can the influence of the representative system be eradicated in Germania, which is vaster than Wallochia with hundreds of followers and thousands of conscripts?

‘You must avoid being considered an aggressor.’

If you are seen as an aggressor, you will be resisted, and will only create a deeper allegiance to you, seeking help from a different race.

The different races are the masters who have been loyal for generations, and I am just an invader who was kicked out of my family and became a vassal of a rival country.

A different race is conspiring?

I’ll pretty much believe it

‘We have to embrace people who haven’t completely fallen for the great emperor.’

It’s because the different races aren’t directly active in Germania.

The influence of the representative system is the activities of those who are loyal to the different races.

Therefore, this fight is more like a proxy war between me and the representative system.

I’ll have to fight in person, without using an agent.

‘A follower of Horbid, a servant of a blood relative, and a voluntary slave of other races. They are the ones who project the influence of the representative system. This is the enemy I have to deal with in Germania.’

Before they can keep me in check and achieve their plan by enlisting every human being who does not realize the reality or watching the situation, I must conversely gather my forces in Germania and confront it.

‘To do so, the first thing I need to get is a sudlet.’

Because Sudret has the most justification for me, and is the one with the most practical interests.

If the authority comparable to that of the King of Germania makes Sudret mine, the enemy will decrease to that extent, and the power to oppose the representative system will increase.

‘The purpose is the same as the beginning. But I’ll have to change the course more drastically. I don’t have time to visit and convince the nobles one by one.’

I pondered for a while.

While making the sudlet mine,

A way to quickly subdue all the other nobles.

“I think the founding festival is an opportunity.”

I woke up from my thoughts and raised my head.

The Marquis put the letter down and continued.

“You told my daughter. If I ask you why you came to Germania now, I will answer that I came to participate in the founding festival.”

“It was.”

“Because the founding festival is an event in which all nobles of Germania participate. It’s not an obligation, but if you’re a noble, not being able to participate or not will hurt your pride.”

indeed.

I stroked my chin.

“If you don’t have time to visit and convince everyone, you can gather them all. That’s what you said.”

“okay. It depends on how well you speak.”

I chuckled.

“If that’s the case, no problem. The reason I was able to come this far is because of these three tongues.”

The Marquis also smiled and nodded.

“Then what’s left is…”

Buu————

The horn sounded.

Dung- Dung-!

A harsh drum sound followed.

Rachel opened the room door and saw me.

Reading her thoughts, I left the mansion.

As we headed up the wall, the trumpets and drums grew louder and louder.

The city was in an uproar as if it had been attacked.

“…”

On the other hand, silence fell over the walls.

Everyone was looking at the front of the city, at the horizon.

It was noon in the summer heat, and there was a haze.

A light shimmered on the distant horizon.

The light did not contain power, but was a reflected light.

The light illuminated by the armor worn by humans walking towards the city.

The number of lights was legion, so it was impossible to count them.

“Stop, Sudlet! It’s Sudlet!”

A flag with two golden eagles intertwined.

A huge flag embroidered with gold thread fluttered in the wind.

The flag received a stronger light than any other weapon, giving off a golden glow.

A soldier who discovered it from the watchtower exclaimed urgently.

Buu————

Again, the trumpet sounded for a long time, and dust rose.

Dust came running between the twinkling lights.

They were knights, thousands of knights driving horses.

“The sudlet is coming!”

someone shouted.

“Run away! Run away!”

someone screamed

It wasn’t just the horizon that they could see in front of them.

There was a temporary garrison built between the horizon and the city.

A garrison divided into three, me and Loesene’s soldiers in it.

Soldiers rushed out from the garrisons on the left and right.

“Open the gates! hurry!”

“Come quickly!”

On the walls of the castle, people stomped their feet and shouted.

The distance between the fleeing soldiers of Loegene and the gate,

The distance between the fleeing soldiers of Loisene and the rushing knight,

Of the two distances, the one that narrowed faster was the distance to the knight.

“Me, those idiots!”

“Why are you still!”

Meanwhile, the garrison in the middle was quiet.

No one looked towards the city.

They gathered their armaments and lined up in front of the garrison.

The number was only 500, so it was very shabby.

Deed deed deed——

The ground trembled with so many horses spurring it.

Even from a distance, the vibrations caused by the horse could be felt even on the walls of the castle.

The horse increased its speed as it got closer to the city.

And as I got closer to my men, I pointed my lance.

“It’s over…”

Someone murmured in pity.

How could hundreds of foot soldiers stop thousands of knights?

The moment he touched the lance, his body would be torn apart and his shape would be unknown.

There was no one who did not think of such a future.

“…”

In front of the enemy who rushes and shakes the ground,

The servants fearlessly wait for their master’s command,

Freed slaves pointed cannons made of bronze.

And in front of them, the wandering knight Calliope stood alone.

take the initiative

###

The horse ran across the plain.

The knight spurred on his horse.

I inserted the lance into my armpit and aimed forward.

There were hundreds of soldiers in front of the lance point.

With the knights rushing forward, they formed a wall in formation.

However, the knights were not alone; they numbered in the thousands.

“Speed up!”

“Keep your ranks!”

The knights roared with excitement.

Knights gathered in response to the summons of the Duke of Sudret.

Each of them with different armaments and crests gathered under the Sudret’s banner.

“Speed up! more!”

The speed at which the horse runs increases.

Thousands of horses rushed in, raising the dust like a tidal wave.

When the human wall spread thinly in front of you is approaching,

The knights recalled what their lord had said.

– Don’t bump into them, just scare them.

someone snorted.

The sound of the horses’ hooves deafened my ears, but I heard it.

They all had the same reactions to the same memories.

‘It’s easy.’
