Chapter 588

Episode 588. (7) + Declaration of

war by those who are coaxed (1)

Perhaps her plan was induced by Harial spilling the basic theory.

It is to induce the completion of a similar theory and to snatch it.

It was intended to reduce time by parallelizing massive tasks.

“But there is something I don’t understand. Why are you a former life? Wouldn't it be much better to be immortal like that warlock?”

“I know yeah... ...

In terms of utility, as pointed out, the immortality decorated by the leader of the Dark Church might be better.

There is only one answer I can give you.

“That's why he's crazy.

He is eternal and has no interest in anything.

I am only bound by that one reincarnated person.”

“Any other reason?”

“The city.”

I mentioned once again the city ruled by reincarnated people.

“Isn’t something strange?”

“What do you mean?”

“I've been hiding for a thousand years. But how did they thrive until now? How did you keep the posterity going?”

Their population size is below average metropolitan units.

Of course, humans are different from livestock.

There is a problem in carrying on the next generation for a thousand years just by dividing it.

“But it doesn’t seem like they introduced humans from the outside.”

“???? no way.”

“Yeah, that’s unlikely.”

Harial wasn't practicing governance by reincarnated people.

It was clearly a different experiment.

“At first, he must have taken captive humans from the country he destroyed a thousand years ago and forcibly settled them.”

However, this is a common occurrence in human history as well.

Being absorbed by the side that destroyed your country is a common occurrence.

It's sad, but it's common.

“The problem comes after that.”

If it was simply exploitation or for the purpose of annexation, I had no intention of criticizing it more than necessary.

It's because I'm aware that I'm not in a position to curse at that.

However, his purpose is only to conduct an experiment in his own city.

The goal is to complete and put the secret arts to practical use.

“He cast a secret spell from his previous life on the residents who allowed him to stay in his city.”

for an experiment

A test of the mystic arts of the previous life for many.

to collect the results.

After that, they continue to live their lives in the city.

Die, born, die... ... .

It has been continuously circulating for a thousand years with the soul bound.

How to maintain a society where only reincarnated people exist? What are the side effects? research using them.

When I explained it this far, of course, everyone was not convinced.

yeah because it doesn't make sense

“What's the point of that... ... not before that? What about them?

Are they still living their lives?”

“If you look at it closely, you’re not living a normal life.”

Of course that can't be possible.

Even the records he left behind say that the first hundred years were chaos.

If you don't get used to it, nothing will be as difficult to accept as your previous life.

For example, parents are born as children's children.

How many people can really accept it with their sober minds?

Moreover, it is unavoidable if the number of people in such a small space is limited.

Knowing that, we, who are professional reincarnations, have no choice but to express our doubts.

However, Harial went ahead with the experiment.

After all, their mental well-being won't matter anyway.

In order to complete the secret art, he used other means to calm the confusion.

“Heriel made some modifications to the arcane technique. You purposely blew their memories.”

“Remember?”

“Yeah remember.”

I tapped my head hard with my fingertips.

“The soul still repeats the previous life, but only the memories are wiped clean.”

By analogy, it can also be referred to as a format.

When the memory was emptied, the confusion disappeared.

Everyone sighs.

There's no need to guess what news you've heard, but since it's necessary, we said at the same time.

“It’s a declaration of war.”

You don't have to say who did what to whom.

Declaration of war by those who were appeased (1)

“Felsen Kingdom, Zelnian Kingdom. And besides that, declarations of war have been sent at the same time from all the places that have expressed support for the Principality of Caduceus.”

The first king of Ernesia Kingdom did nothing but hide his embarrassing feelings while citing this fact.

At least it's proud of me to keep my composure.

In fact, all the nobles who heard this fact were gasping for breath.

“Declaring war... ... Is it true?”

“It is true.”

I don't even say this as a joke.

Even nobles know that much, but asking would be a kind of escape from reality.

“A declaration of war flew at the exact same time.”

Jeil also had to doubt his eyes and ears at first.

After the establishment of the Kingdom of Ernesia, there had never been such an astonishing phenomenon in history.

“I've heard reports that countries that have already declared war have held military dispatch ceremonies.”

All over the world, troops have already been sent to Ernesia Kingdom.

Even now they are marching towards the frontier.

fast. too fast.

It means that it is not important whether it is simply coincidence or impulsive.

“... ... Are you colluding?”

“There is nothing else to say.”

Is there any other reason for multiple countries to declare war at the same time?

“What did they say?”

I couldn't understand.

If a declaration of war is to be waged, there must be a cause.

Whether it's forced or not, they must have their own reasons.

“That was really hard to understand.”

their declaration of war.

It is truly incomprehensible.

Each country gave a common cause.

“They say they're sending troops to fulfill their duty with the Principality of Caduceus.”

To be precise, it seemed that the envoys of the Principality of Caduceus condemned the selfishness of the Kingdom of Ernesia and insisted that they be made public.

There were also reports that spies sent by them from other countries carried out the same agitation.

“... ... Speaking of them, they are the rootless bastards who hosted the last meeting.”

No wonder the nobles frowned upon hearing the name.

Because the ideology they advocated was not very welcome from the point of view of those who belonged to the kingdom of Ernesia.

“It seems that you have revealed your true colors.”

It is true that they committed acts that violated the interests of Ernesia Kingdom.

And at the actual meeting, he was condemned by Arelborn.

As a result, it is not considered strange even if it comes to the conclusion that it is a declaration of war.

“It would be good to tell them to arrange corresponding arrangements at the border.”

“I already warned you.”

By now, the Margraves in charge of the frontiers would have hastily mustered their soldiers and entered into wartime mode.

The response was rather quick.

In any case, the kingdom of Ernesia had to experience several wars recently.

Unwillingly, I got used to the way I dealt with and set my mind before the wartime situation.

But no one is happy about that fact.

The best thing is, after all, isn't war not happening?

“I don’t understand... ... The Kingdom of Felsen was still the Kingdom of Zelnian.

Were they able to raise soldiers?”

Most of the countries just mentioned will currently only have enough national strength to barely keep themselves safe.

They would never have the energy to march soldiers outside.

Even if they win the war, will it be good for them?

No matter who you ask, the answer is no.

War is often used as a means to seek revival.

But that's also something that needs to be done to some extent.

What's the point if they run out of strength after the war?

“... ... It seems there is some kind of support.”

Military and massive supplies were provided from an unknown source.

Such intelligence came in.

I guessed the source without even researching it.

Caduceus.

That's what the monsters did.
