Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans

I mentioned a hint of a civil war the orcs were going through.

The orc, who had shrunk from the wrath of the strong, opened his eyes wide and began to tremble like mad.

“What are you talking about again?”

Raeragon asked with interest.

The gaze that had been focused on the orc returned to me again, sending me suspicion.

A provocation that I would have just sneered at if another line had said the same thing as me.

The weight will be different because I have already revealed many secrets that others cannot know.

The orc’s eyes, shaking as if an earthquake had struck, met me in the air.

“Everyone seems to be curious. Need an explanation?”

“All right, all right! Don’t tell me!”

ok, one over.

After seeing the other lines, I shrugged my shoulders.

There’s no way that each of us doesn’t have a secret.

It’s so nice to know the secret the other person is hiding.

I smiled softly.

“I informed you before the dragon’s seal was broken. This is how I saved you. Wouldn’t it be enough to get that kind of reward?”

“Don’t you think you touched the seal?”

Raeragon sent suspicion.

“Then why did you say that? If I wanted to break the seal, I wouldn’t have revealed it, and if I wanted to boast of my strength to you, would I have done it in such a pathetic way?”

The boy raised his head with a groan.

He backed off without saying anything, as if he had just been stabbed.

“Are you going to pass it on or not?”

I hit the map louder than before.

“Who was the culprit who broke the seal?”

Gotava asked.

“I do not know. If I had known, I would have stopped it in the first place.”

Silence ensued, without further protest or questioning.

After exchanging glances, Laeragon opened his lips to say something.

He must have been protesting that he could not give the land, but Gotava stepped on it first.

Raeragon winced and looked down, and Gotava tapped his mouth with his hand.

“···sh*t.”

It’s small, but it’s a curse that everyone can hear.

That was the end, and Gotava spoke on behalf of the representative system.

“good night. I won’t hand it over to you.”

“Thank you.”

Several disgruntled breaths were heard.

None of those present here have not had their territory taken.

However, even if they express their dissatisfaction, they do not reject the decision of the representative system.

This is the content of the agreement between Laeragon, Vlad, and Gotava.

They are on a different level from other tribes in terms of nation and race.

Not to mention elves, dwarves, and vampires had an undying legion.

If even one of them turns into an enemy, human civilization will perish.

In the representative system, there is nothing different from heterogeneous people who are on the weak side.

“However, the only thing we guarantee is the territory inside the Great Plains of Oroko.”

‘Does this mean that other human realms will not be guaranteed? He has retaliation in mind for the Duke of Sudret.’

From the perspective of the representative system, it was as if the duke of Sudret had signed a contract with both me and Raeragon.

Originally, that in itself wouldn’t be a big problem, if it were originally.

‘If I were weak, as soon as I claimed ownership of the frontier, Laeragon would have struck me on the spot.’

But my neck is intact, and Rhaeragon has lost his ground.

Is it only Laeragon? All the countries that participated in the representative system were taken away a little bit.

Even if it’s just a frontier where only humans live.

Should I leave the sudlet who made me suffer like this?

“Also, if it is false that the seal was broken, then this will be dismissed as nothing.”

To give permission before confirming the truth.

Even if the bluff worked, it worked too well, so I replied with a smile instead of words, telling me to do as I wish.

“Dissolve the representative system.”

###

Raeragon invited me, so he must send me back.

I stood in front of the same gate I had crossed when I came and looked at Laeragon.

Not only did the plan go awry, but the expression on his face was bad because he ate the taffy.

“Get out of here, monkey.”

The boy got up in a fit of temper and growled with a rushing momentum.

Thought prevented Calliope from stepping forward.

It was no different from a dog that couldn’t bite.

The representative system has come to a conclusion, and no matter how good I am, I cannot go against the entire representative system.

‘I’m sorry if it ends here. You didn’t get any compensation from the guy who tried to f*ck me.’

If you look at it coldly, it’s just that what is mine is recognized as mine.

Even if Raeragon feels taken away, this land was originally mine.

I just added little by little the territory of other countries participating in the representative system besides Laeragon.

‘I’ll tease you a little more.’

As I stared at him quietly, I was wary.

“What is it, monkey?”

“Don’t trust the dwarves.”

“what?”

Raeragon frowned.

He sent me another glance asking what he was talking about.

I passed him without a word of recompense.

‘Elfs and dwarves are on bad terms here too. If it’s like the original, it’ll be big someday. If I add more suspicion here, wouldn’t the timing come earlier?’

There will be many suspicions about who broke the seal of the dragon, Tiamar.

I’m the one who gets the most suspicion, but of course it’s not me, so we have no choice but to doubt each other.

I decided to plant a small spark in this greedy idiot here.

‘A guy who thinks he’s smart is the most stupid.’

As if they were planning to invite me to the representative ceremony and take away the territory.

If you instill a little suspicion, you will become self-indulgent and convinced.

‘It’s not that the dwarf has nothing to do with the seal breaking.’

Of course, that’s not the case if you’re entirely responsible.

“I made it clear. Don’t trust the dwarves.”

I didn’t miss the twinkle in his eyes.

‘Doubt, antagonize, kill each other. Dirty aliens.’

I laughed inwardly and crossed the gate.

###

“…”

When the gate disappeared, the scenery of the Great Plains came into view.

As if that splendid and daunting sight had been a dream just a moment ago.

I let out a long sigh while looking at the simple rural landscape.

‘It’s not easy.’

He raised his right hand and touched the goal.

Thanks to the iron man’s effect, there was no tension at all.

Still, it was a situation where I was risking my life on a single line.

I was in a situation where I would have died if I had to, so I was mentally exhausted.

“You worked hard.”

Calliope came over and draped her coat over my shoulders.

I noticed the regret in her heart.

Because my followers are connected with thoughts, I can read their minds at first glance.

Perhaps he is blaming himself for not taking care of me properly.

I sighed and laughed as I punched the armor with my fist.

“When there is an uphill, there is also a downhill. If you don’t like what you’re doing today, why don’t you make it tomorrow?”

“I will keep that in mind.”

“hmm.”

I saw the man standing behind Calliope.

It was Griff, a member of my family whom I summoned and surprised the attendees at the conference hall.

“You suffered too.”

“no.”

Griff placed his right hand on his chest with an exaggerated movement, narrowed his eyes slightly, and bowed his back slightly.

“Isn’t it the duty of children to serve their father, the Creator?”

His speech was formal, but his accent was playful.

The seriousness shown in the representative system was not seen at all.

It was acting then, and it must be what I saw now.

I smiled and tapped Griff on the shoulder.

【Lv. 59]

If you look at the level, it’s close to three times the amount of Anton who died at Raeragon’s beckoning.

However, compared to the participants in the representative system, they are the weakest.

It was a gambler who summoned Grief when he was under pressure at the Great Council.

If I hadn’t created a situation where they would misjudge, they would have been seen through.

It was a risky move, but the return was great, so it was worth the bet.

‘The territory I obtained in Sudlet is only here, one Olymus.’

Considering that Olymus was less than twenty households, there was nothing to say even if he was called the village chief rather than the lord.

‘But now, since I’ve obtained territories dozens of times larger than the representative system, I’ve got an assortment to be called a lord in terms of area.’

I turned my back and looked at Kistler.

He, the chief of Olymus, stayed with a few people after I left, waiting for me.

“Edar-sama…”

At sunset, silence hung over the frontier village.

Most of the pioneers abandoned the site and fled.

You must have been convinced that I would never come back, that only hunters would return.

When the elves left, many of them must have fled to save their lives.

“It’s only natural given the state of this world, but it’s bittersweet.”

“Cow, I’m sorry.”

“Why is it your fault? It’s because the people who have the duty to protect you are weak.”

The lord is a king in the territory, but he has the duty to protect the people of the territory.

However, in this world, human lords are the only ones who do not know what their duty is.

It was reasonable for them to run away while the newly appointed lord became bait.

It was surprising that fifteen people remained and waited.

“Kisler.”

“yes. Mr. Edar.”

“Do you know of any other settlements around here?”

“I know. Since it is a frontier area, we often interact with each other…”

“Good.”

He told Calliope to give it to Kistler.

“When the sun rises tomorrow, ride a horse and tell all the frontier villages within your realm. Now I, Edar, are your master.”

“yes?”

“The non-human races have acknowledged that this land is mine. There is no human hunting in my land. Because you are afraid of hunting, you do not raise livestock, you hide grain, and you do not sacrifice your own family.”

###

Kistler raised his bowed head and looked up at Edar.

At first, I was dumbfounded, opening my mouth.

After a while, I realized the meaning and asked myself several times that I couldn’t stay in my head.

“Can you really protect us?”

“okay. Didn’t you feel anything when you saw that I disappeared with the dwarves and came back alone? What does that mean? They can’t do anything about me, and I have been recognized as the owner of this land.”

Elves never sit a human at the table.

Kistler was a monk before becoming the village chief, so he knew their arrogance.

I also knew that with that arrogance, I never saw humans as human beings.

‘That is why Sir Anton died. Because a mere monkey wanted to sit at the table equal to man. But this person… sat in the same seat as them? how?’

A knight who fought an elf and came close to defeating it, and the owner of that knight.

A human who was more confident than anyone else in front of an elf left with the elf, and returned after being seen off by the elf.

Have humans ever been on equal terms with elves?

No, beyond the elves, there were no other races.

“…!”

The sunset was sinking behind Edar’s head.

The intensely burning orange light seemed to reveal a sacred light, and Kistler was shocked to see Edar’s face hidden in the backlight.

A spiritual response that I had never felt while serving the god of wolves.

Kistler realized that it was a shock when the old brethren of the monastery received the god they were talking about.

‘How can a human being…how can a human being have such a status…’

The lost faith began to wriggle deep within.

Kistler lowered his head, afraid that the agitation might reveal his ugliness.

Edar put his hand on Kistler’s shoulder.

“I will protect your lives more than any human lord. good. When the sun rises in the morning, go and tell them my will.”

Isaac left behind

’46.’

I looked down at the map spread out on the table and counted.

The map was taken from the corpse of the mercenary commander, and it was cheap and crude.

Since it was roughly written that the mountain is here, the river is there, and the village is there, the information that can be obtained from the map is that the village is beyond the mountain? Is the river to the east? was about

‘The distribution is pretty good.’

But is a deceased person a deceased person for nothing?

The experience of numerous rounds was not in vain.

It was enough to overlap the clear memory in my head with the empty space on the map.

“It’s quite small.”

Grif scratched his chin while looking at the mark on the map with narrow eyes.

The notation was pointing to a frontier village within my territory.

Kistler pointed out and there were 46 of them.

“It’s a pioneer, so it’s worth it.”

As I tapped the map with my index finger, I remembered what Kistler had left.

‘Each of them is equal to or larger than Olymus?’

The original population of Olymus was about one hundred.

The fact that there are more than 50 settlements in my territory means that the population of the territory is about 5,000.

‘It’s not a small number considering that there are so many small estates in the world with a population of less than 1,000. Considering that the area of the territory is equivalent to a duchy, it’s too small.’

Compared to the Duchy of Sudlet, there was a difference of hundreds of times.

Of course, Sudlet is one of the first areas to be settled by humans.

This is an extreme example, as there are many cities with more than 10,000 residents.

The pioneering history of the Great Plains of Oroko is less than half a hundred years long.

Until then, humans had not even thought of crossing the border to the Great Plains.

It was because the representative system hunted humans who crossed into the neutral zone.

The hunting was over before the dissolution of the Neutral Zone.

Slaves were needed to pioneer the undeveloped land, and humans were considered suitable as slaves.

‘Even at the right time, it was easy to find a slave. Inland development is over, and the population is saturated. As tyranny was added to this, deserters appeared and began to cross the border in desperation.’

So the number of 5,000 is by no means a small number considering the history of the frontier.

‘But I wonder if the guys I’m going to deal with in the future will consider that.’

Is it possible to do that without going crazy?

They were the kind of people who would drool and rush at it.

The sudlet who expelled me or the great agent who ate me.

Either way won’t let me go.

In the near future, a sinister hand will be extended.

There was never a time when he didn’t do that in Deus Ex.

‘However, this is the Great Plains. It’s like a bridgehead that we must pass, whether we’re heading towards humans or other races. It is targeted first.’

I glared at the map.

Oroko Great Plain was exquisitely in the center of the map.

Even the territory I obtained is a position that is different from the entrance to the Kingdom of Wallochia.

‘We need to increase the population. It’s not enough right now.’

No matter how large a land is, it is meaningless if there is no one to manage the land.

Unmanaged land is only a gap for the hostile.

Filling the gaps must be people, and to do so, the population must increase.

‘Raise the skill to increase the number of people and accept the immigrants as much as possible. We must finish our defenses before the cataclysm begins.’

I looked up and saw my family waiting for my words.

Calliope’s level is 92.

Grif’s level is 59.

The levels of the other three clans are barely 36 when combined.

It is revealed by the level that all members of the family are not of the same class.

‘of course. If I can make a follower of the same level as Calliope every time, I’ll be able to conquer the world in a month.’

I smiled bitterly inwardly.

“Tyler, you said you were a carpenter. Can you build a house?”

“of course. What will a carpenter do if he can’t build a house?”

Tyler pounded his chest with his fist.

“Harley, if you were a legionnaire, you would have built an encampment.”

“Of course! Just leave it to me!”

As if Harley had been waiting for me, I cut off and yelled out loud, then blinked belatedly.

“Uh, um, sorry.”

I said okay and looked at Calliope.

It’s better than being too hard on me, right? I was going to ask

Calliope slightly wrinkled her expression, which hadn’t changed, and looked at Harley.

Harley’s face turned blue at the gaze that made my heart grow colder from the side.

I shyly turned my gaze to Griff.

Grif smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

“anyway. Building an encampment requires basic building skills such as wooden fences and watchtowers, so it would be nice to work with Tyler.”

“yes!”

“And Mason…”

There was nothing that immediately came to mind when I saw the name patrol.

Mason himself was also scratching his head.

“To assist the two of you.”

“yes.”

“good. When the sun rises, the three of you get the wood, and Tyler leads the building.”

“Are you building a place for Edar to stay?”
