133. In the dream of the defeated king.
The Wars of Barco and Akan, and the Great Beyond.
All of this was done by Akan, the Mad Ruler.
And now King Lloyd of the Kingdom of Barco cannot raise his head.
The whispers of the people of the kingdom of Barco are heard around you.
"The King of the Foreign Kingdom honors the hearts of the victims before he takes away the joy of victory."
"Have you seen the men who fought desperately for him? The only reason it's possible is because the king is great."
"I've heard every time that the kingdom of heaven is a weak country, it's as good as the empire and its officials, right? No, better than our kingdom."
"Even the kingdom of heaven is very small, but its power seems unpredictable."
King Lloyd is unable to raise his head any further in the voices of the people.
'I…'
As the king of a country, he somehow tried to stop it for the kingdom he was living in and for the rich movies that were to come.
But what of the King of the Foreign Kingdoms?
I fought only to protect the precious.
In a way, the king of the kingdom of heaven is foolish.
But it was enough to shake the hearts of the people.
Even King Lloyd had a second thought about himself by the strong foreign king and his officials.
Without lifting his head, he sees those who have recovered from the white light.
In that gap, he saw the warm Americano in his hands.
'It really smells like good coffee.'
I took that warm Americano to my mouth and drank a sip.
Warm yet cheap, smooth Americano goes over the back of the neck, clears the mind and relieves the fatigue of the body.
King Lloyd has begun to make his way towards Minhyuk.
* * *
"Sa, the wound is healed!"
"Oh my God, what an amazing effect!"
"It doesn't hurt anymore!"
People admire the effects of the greatest and most amazing beans produced by a barista van.
Min-hyuk, who wanted a cool americano, was immediately gorging himself on a warm americano.
King Lloyd was leading hundreds of nobles and knights to the frontier of Minhyuk at that time.
There are executives from foreign countries who naturally stand behind the reform.
Min-hyuk was also a king, so he did not bow down to him.
Rather, I reasonably saw King Lloyd.
King Lloyd is in front of Minhyuk.
"With the help of the heavenly kingdoms, we were able to defend our kingdom of Barco."
I heard loud noises everywhere.
And the commentators quickly interpret it.
[Amazing scenery is unfolding.]
[The king of one country admits that his army was weak and that the army of another country helped him overcome this situation. This is a fact that King Lloyd of the Barco Kingdom is about to fold into the hands of a reformed user and recognize the king of the kingdom of heaven and that country.]
Yes, it is.
One word from the king had the power to change many things in that kingdom.
The wavelength of a few words that King Lloyd said could be very large.
"Accordingly, our kingdom of Barco will repay you without forgetting the grace of the kingdom of heaven and seek a smooth exchange with the kingdom of heaven."
Yet again, King Lloyd said something amazing.
Currently, all the kingdoms of the Asgan continent have not acknowledged the foreign kingdom of heaven.
Because of this, no country had any interaction with foreign countries in heaven, and no matter how much they made excellent goods or specialties, there was a limit to their income because they were not just sold.
The Kingdom of Barco is a country with 8 times more territory than the Kingdom of Heaven.
Again, says King Lloyd.
"One. I don't think I can carry weapons for a foreign kingdom. I hope you understand this."
Again, commentators interpret.
[You cannot carry weapons for the kingdom of heaven. Diplomatic exchange is proceeding, but for the sake of foreign countries, soldiers cannot move.]
[As soon as the military intervenes, the Kingdom of Barco can also be preyed upon by other kingdoms who do not acknowledge their own foreign country.]
Indeed, the king was a king.
King Lloyd is the king of a country, only for his country.
There was no point in calling him bad as a citizen of that country.
We're taking the risk out.
But what's the answer to that?
"King of the Barco Kingdom. King Lloyd."
King Lloyd smiled a little.
Foreign exchange!
This was also in return for the assistance of the foreign kingdom of heaven, and given the disappearance of the profits that the kingdom of Barco and Bondi Baras had gained in the exchange, they offered to each other a financial distress.
King Lloyd thought he was considerate enough.
However.
"I never said I was diplomatic with the kingdom of Barco."
King Lloyd was startled.
This was an astonishing story for others who were watching.
Yes, for Min-hyuk, the coming King Lloyd is just pathetic.
King Lloyd has made a decision for his country, not just for the kingdom of heaven.
King Lloyd's face is red.
"Soldiers in the kingdom of heaven are not willing to support us, and we will make a smooth deal. This is true for both sides."
However, the kingdom of Barco does not intend to take any risks.
And...
"Is that your reward for our foreign kingdom?"
It's a deal, not a reward.
King Lloyd realizes.
'This interest is also not pleasant...!'
When I saw the Genie in the heavenly realm, I thought I was going to bury him in my bones.
But what of the King of the Foreign Kingdom?
"You're about to get very upset. The Kingdom of Barco needs to repair the damage caused by the war and will have significant funding for the time being. But are you okay with not diplomatic with us?"
The more the merrier, the better.
Yes, Min-hyuk takes all the parts he can benefit from.
He is a person who never loses.
Rather, King Lloyd was more relieved than angry.
'I support the troops for a while, but I can trust this foreign country.'
At least if they are computational in this way, they will survive longer.
Later.
'Perhaps the Alliance will consider it.'
Rather, it's applaudable.
"What do you want?"
"A 2% increase in the price of merchandise sold by foreign countries. 2% off when we live. And then there's the compensation for the war."
It can take enormous gains from the 2% price increase and the 2% price decrease of foreign goods in heaven.
The kingdom of Barco loses four percent.
"20,000 platinum and 2,000 horses in return for supporting the war. I will support 50 tons of Minerals for Weapons and Armor Crafting."
"How about 23,000 platinum?"
Oh, what a thief.
But King Lloyd raised his head.
"I see."
The moment the deal went through, everyone was amazed.
The king is one, and in a way, he has succeeded in dealing with the king of a country.
At that moment, a notification rang out.
[The Kingdom of Barco has promised to pay 45% of the total taxes this month with the help of the Vice Guild Master from a foreign kingdom of heaven.]
[You will be able to receive payments at the end of the month.]
[Pursuant to King Lloyd's order, he is supported by 23,000 Platinum, 2,000 Horse Pills and 50 Tons of Minerals.]
[You will be able to diplomatically with the kingdom of Barco.]
[However, the Kingdom of Barco and its military support are unavailable, and at times both countries will be able to reach an agreement.]
[All transactions will be able to be sold at 2% cheaper in the heavenly world and 2% cheaper in the purchase.]
This deal with the realm is truly satisfactory.
In addition.
[You are the only king in one country and have been recognized by other kings!]
[Earn title king.]
The title The effect of the so-called king was much more grown-up than I expected.
Kings of other kingdoms are interested.
The title effect is the title effect, but the title effect improves every time the kings are recognized.
One by one, you can bring other kingdoms to your side.
And there was something important that wasn't done yet.
Min-hyuk turned away.
A land of godlessness there. Prince Boto of the Lumai Kingdom was taking off the mask he was wearing.
Since then, there have been roughly 1,000 troops from the Lumai that have survived the hardships.
'My greed has tarnished the reputation of the Lumai Kingdom and has taken away my people.'
Many died and gained nothing.
I was just being teased.
"Sovereign of heaven, condemn him now!"
I am appalled by King Lloyd, the biggest victim.
Then Prince Boto looks back at the death squad.
"I will kill myself here and now, King of the Foreign Kingdom. Instead, do not drink their lives with a broad heart like the sea."
"Wow, Prince!!"
"No!!!"
"Ha, I'll die with you."
"That's an order."
Prince Boto grips his sword backwards, decisively speaking to the roaring troops.
Min-hyuk's eyes frowned as he saw it.
'Lumai is a godless kingdom. Prince Boto must die. However...'
Is it now?
I thought that Min-hyuk was at two crossroads.
It feels like a fight.
Something big is going to change depending on the choices you make here.
As soon as Prince Boto tried to stab the abdomen, Min-hyuk quickly moved his hand and grabbed it.
"Enough."
"……?"
Prince Boto looks curious.
Min-hyuk's decision.
It was not to kill Prince Boto immediately.
It's literally "right away."
"If you are a prince who bears the responsibility of at least one country, forgive your people and kill yourself."
"……."
Prince Boto's arms tremble when he hears it.
The grumbling of the people has already been heard. One, if you die like this, you really only die as if you were running away.
'Yes...'
You're right.
At least forgive my people and die.
And Prince Boto interpreted it differently.
'He did not tell me not to die.'
Instead, I just told him not to die now.
Is it giving them time to count their own people?
Thank you very much.
That's what I'm saying.
"I see. And... I have one request."
Min-hyuk thought, 'As well.'
Prince Boto's death was like two crossroads.
And a fork in the road will lead you there.
"The Lumai Kingdom is collapsing rapidly. I think you know why."
Of course I know.
The reason was because the pagan king Lardo fell into a deep, unknown sleep.
'He is strong against Elle's sister.'
That's when he fell asleep.
Clearly something is hidden in the system.
"You are a foreigner, king of the heavenly realms. I understand that foreigners have powers we do not possess. Can you check on your condition?"
At that moment, Min-hyuk remembered the quest window.
Tiring!
[Hidden Quest: Sleeping Martial Arts Lardo]
Rating: SSS
Limit: those invited by Prince Boto.
Reward:?
Penalty for Failure: Decreased Amity with Lumai and Barco Kingdoms.
Description: Lardo in Lumai, the godless kingdom, is now in deep sleep. Investigate the cause of his deep sleep.
Immediately, King Lloyd was more excited about the situation.
"Why is that?!"
At this point, Min-hyuk took a small step.
"King Lloyd. Look broader. We are at war and we are victorious. But if you slap Prince Boto in the head, what do we get?"
It's a lonely victory.
On the contrary?
King Lloyd's head spins fast.
What if he wakes Lardo up?
You can ask King Lardo for his reward, his reward, and his reward.
What Prince Boto has done at the moment.
It's hard to ask Lardo for his sins.
But what if he wakes up? It becomes possible.
King Lloyd.
He sticks out his tongue.
'Why are you staring at the thousand leagues...'
The crown jewel of a foreign kingdom.
In his eyes, King Lloyd was impressed.
And it is the moment when another destination of the kingdom of heaven is established.
