229 Poop tea.

The punitive force sent by King Calico began a subjugation campaign as soon as he crossed the Mio River. They march first into Baron Rusben's territory, and as soon as they arrive, they stumble upon resistance. Baron Rusben and the rest of my troops have joined forces to build an aquatic temple.

The punitive forces hesitated for a moment to hear the news of Baron Rusben's resistance, but soon after receiving orders from the central government, they started attacking. Although the civil unrest subjugation has turned into a rebellion subjugation, their mission has not changed.

Eliminating those who oppose King Khaligor.

But it was never easy to conquer a man named Rusben. A nobleman with a sword to protect his people. Soldiers and people who take their lives in obedience to him. Moreover, the baron was armed with a large number of magical grenade launchers and mace guns unlike the punitive force.

Eventually, the workshop for several days ended with only major damage to the Punitive Force, and the subsequent battle continued only in boring confrontations.

The punitive force set up camp on the Mio River.

It was a strategy to starve everyone to death by cutting off supplies and waterways into Leuven's manual writing.

But this was a huge mistake by the Punitive Force. Earl Taien, commanded by Shra, joined forces with the Western lords to lead a force of 40,000 to subdue the punitive force.

The punitive force was very surprised to hear that 40,000 insurgents were advancing and was about to retreat. The Punitive Force is 20,000. Fighting against the Allied forces in the western territory of the ship was largely a suicide.

However, behind the punitive force, it was blocked by the Mio River. In the end, the punitive force was caught up with the late Duke of Teia on the banks of the Mio River and largely condemned to captivity without proper resistance.

“This is the order of the Lady Shrah. I condemn King Calligo, the wicked one, who tried to brutally slaughter innocent people in the name of God. ”

A full-scale civil war has begun within the Kingdom of Calgo since the Declaration of the Duke of Teia.

Suddenly, the rebel King Kali tried to reorganize the Punitive Force, but it was not easy. I was aiming for a spear sword at the Lumen Kingdom and the border, so I didn't have the strength to withdraw from the rear.

Moreover, the number of Allied forces in the Western Territories was blowing differently every day. A large number of mercenaries were hired with unknown sources of funds, and many of them joined the military as well.

“Analysis of several pieces of information suggests that the Caligo Empire has faced an unprecedented crisis in history. ”

Statue of the Meeting of Livers. In Baron Leon's report, I hesitated.

“I was stabbed in the middle of a war with the Lumen Kingdom. ”

“It's not even a permit stabbing. It's deadly enough to turn the tide. The Allied forces of the Western Territories are stronger than the combined forces of both the Kaligo and Lumen Kingdoms. because our war supplies are being supported. ”

“I know. In the end, you're doomed. ”

Baron glances at me.

“But, Master Oogway, can I ask you a question? ”

“Yes, ask. ”

“Do you intend to help the world? ”

“Huh. Conquest of the World? ”

“Yes.”

“That's what I thought in the middle of the day. ”

“Then? No? ”

“Yes, it's a coincidence. The Kingdom of Caligo interfered with my work and paid for it. ”

Baron gives you a reassuring look.

“He said it was strange somehow. ”

“Why?”

“If you are willing to conquer the world, the Kern and Hard kingdoms will prevail over the Caligo kingdoms. ”

Baron's opinions were accurate. If I wanted to conquer the world, I had to go south before the east. Conquest of the Caligo Kingdom will stretch the border between the Yosrahim Empire and the Enoch, but if you go south, you will be protected by the border of Heavenly Hye, the Jorgante Mountains and the Bronos Mountains, with a stable bow

It was because they were able to go out.

“Well, the rest of the policy comes first. ”

Milton grunts and opens his mouth.

“So this letter came from Kern Kingdom. ”

“What letter? ”

Milton answered my question briefly.

“They want you to keep your marriage pact. ”

“Marriage agreement? ”

“Aren't you and Princess Sierra betrothed? ”

I laughed because it was ridiculous.

“What the hell are you talking about? When did our engagement break up? I thought you said they canceled, too. ”

“At the time, Gannung was declared Duke of Virtue, so he had no choice. But it was a misunderstanding, and it seems that the engagement is still valid. ”

I scratched my eyebrows.

“By the way, how do you come up with that kind of force logic? ”

Baron stepped forward and said,

“A struggle for survival. The Yosrahim Empire is advancing rapidly, and you are at the center of the empire. ”

“You say you will protect the kingdom with your wedding allies. ”

“Yes.”

Hubeio twitches his chin.

“Is that so? ”

“Why?”

“More spies have increased rapidly to steal the empire's magic skills. Intelligence reports that he's willing to risk his life to recruit one of our horse-drawer engineers. ”

I spilled my laughter.

The first time I asked you to take a technology for a cheap price, you told me that people who didn't snore and now want to steal it with their lives. I had no choice but to be ridiculous.

“Oh, my God. These guys need a knife to their throat." ”

“Huh?"

“No. What exactly is the situation? ”

“It's very serious. Intelligence is on the run, requesting backup. ”

“Then give me more. I don't want to give it away for free. ”

“Got it.”

I looked at Milton.

“And the engagement to Kern Kingdom has been broken off. Tell them not to discuss it again." ”

“That's a little... ”

“Why?”

“Isn't Princess Sierra the Great Mother of Earth? ”

“If this engagement goes through, the saint or whatever, I'm dead. ”

“No, I mean, who would hurt you? ”

“Yes, chessboard artisans. ”

Then Baron smiles strangely, and Hubeio smiles strangely. Unlike Milton, they knew I was a backpack and they had three saints in love.

Especially Hubeio was well aware of the chessboard case.

“Anyway, finish the engagement to Princess Sierra quietly. Okay?”

“Yes, I understand. ”

“Well, then it's over. ”

When I get the paperwork organized and ready to stand up, Duke Brian calmly approaches.

“Grand Duke, I actually have something to tell you. ”

I had a embarrassing face. Soon I will have to go to war instead of divinum.

“I'm busy. Is this important? ”

“In a way. ”

“Then do it. ”

Duke Brian looks around and answers.

“The Grand Duke is at my house. ”

“What are you talking about? Why am I in the Duke's house? Oh, little guy? ”

“Yes.”

“Why would he go to the Duke's house? ”

“After quarreling with the Grand Duke, he came to get some air. ”

I rolled my eyes.

“Did you run away? ”

“I think so. ”

“No, how old is he? How old is he? Did you run away and shit? ”

“That's a little... ”

Duke Brian looked at me closely with a meaningful gaze. I didn't run away at all, though.

“Duke. You don't want to tell me you have family history, do you? ”

Duke Brian stoops at his heels.

“No, I'm not.”

I shake my head.

“Anyway, get rid of him. You run out of money, you go home. ”

“But you don't seem to want to go back easily. ”

“Why?”

“Grand Duke Josef would like this opportunity to break His Majesty's stubbornness. ”

I snorted. Joseph, I don't know how stubborn my father is, but he's trying to break it.

“Josef, I knew he was smart, but he's a fool. How do you break your father's stubbornness? ”

“I believe so, but it makes sense what Grand Duke Josef said. ”

“No, why? ”

“Grand Duke Josef, it seems the Grand Duke of Ca 'il is not fit to stay on the estate at this time when the Ca 'l family can do great things. ”

Obviously, it was the time when House Karl could rise to greatness, just as Josef thought. Because I, the firstborn of the Karl family, am the true owner of the empire, and the empire has yet to escape the transition period.

If I use the people of the Karl family at this time, the power of the Karl family could grow dramatically. However, the only force from the Karl family to the central regime of the Empire was the scorpion Independent who presided over Duke Brian.

As a Josef, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

“What a child. I didn't think much of it. ”

“Yes?”

“No. Let me see your face, since your brother's here." ”

I left, frowning. Even if I complain to my father, Josef needs to understand, but I don't know what the hell this is.

One of the most loyal factions in the family was the hardened Independent. And now they're coming under me. I was fascinated by my ability to swallow an entire empire and serve me as a true master.

If this were an Independent group of disciples with one belief, would the other members of the family of Car with a more flexible mindset be mistaken?

They serve me, not Josef, the moment they step into a central politics with my attention. Not only have I proven myself, I'm strong.

My father is not going to let go of the Kar family to stop that from happening. If the people of the Karl clan continue to enter the central regime, they will remain by Josef's side, and the Karl clan will be absorbed by me in the end. Besides, they could take down Josef with their own hands, blink.

Not only do I not, I don't feel guilty. The true owner of the Karl family will think I'm a firstborn and a worthy heir.

Yes, my father is struggling to save his brother Josef and his family.

* * *

As I enter the Duke Brian's mansion, I can see Joseph on the way out. The last time I saw him, I saw a glimpse of the youth, but he seemed to be all grown up.

As soon as he saw me, he hurriedly approached and bent at his waist.

“Sir, are you here? ”

“Hey, how have you been? ”

“Yes.”

“Good. Let's go inside. We need to talk." ”

“Yes.”

I asked Duke Brian to arrange a small conversation. It was a reception room where refreshments could be enjoyed, but it was closed and small and suitable for conversation.

First, Josef begins the conversation by thanking him.

“Thank you for saving my life with your mother before. ”

“What?”

“Isn't that the case of your father's treason? ”

I remember stuttering my head, drinking tea. In the past, the Yosrahim empire tried to wipe out Yosef along with Helen, who was carrying a hardened Independent on her back in pursuit of Karl's independence, but I saved her once.

But I did it as a backbone.

“What did my father say? ”

“No, I have a feeling about this. I thought it was weird when I saw it before. ”

“Be silent.”

“Though it's a conspiracy theory, there are rumors. ”

“Still.”

“Yes.”

I confronted Josef.

“But you ran away? ”

“Yes.”

“Why do you think my father would do that? ”

Josef is silent for a moment and barely speaks.

“The Karl family is facing the biggest crisis in history. than when the Duke of Cloud brought an Imperial army into our lands. ”

I opened my eyes sharply. Yes. The Karl family is in danger of being absorbed by the Empire because of me. Without any resistance.

Of course, the family will survive, but autonomy and identity will disappear.

“You know what you're doing? ”

“But it's also an opportunity. ”

“Ahhhh. You can outrun me? ”

Joseph bows his head.

“No, I'm not.”

“Then?”

“The Cars will lose their identity anyway, so let's choose the next lane. ”

“Why would you think that? ”

“Because you're white. Honestly, isn't the Duke of Cloud the closest you've come to 200 years? ”

“I did. So? ”

“Will my family's identity survive 200 years? ”

I scratched my nose.

“Probably not. ”

“So let's make a name for ourselves. ”

“But the Karl family is already famous. ”

“Yes, he's half-famous. an insecure plutocrat who could be wiped out by the Empire at any moment. ”

This is also true. The Karl family has been seeking independence in secret for nearly 80 years, so it has been heavily deterred from the empire. Moreover, I was now the central authority of the empire with the highest bloodline. In other words, I could see now that the Karl family was in danger of being absorbed by me.

“But if it is as you wish, many of my nobles and talents will be absorbed by me, along with Karl. ”

“We have a lot of talent. It's just buried in darkness. ”

“You'll fill in the blanks again with four? ”

“Yes. My father's man is going to you anyway, not mine. ”

I frown on one side of the mouth. Instead of giving up the identity of the family that was going to disappear, Josef seemed to be thinking of turning Karl into his own kingdom.

“Hmph. My father's in a bad place, too. ”

“Own it.”

“Why?”

“About last time. What would have happened if you hadn't stepped up? ”

I think Helen went to the other side with an Independent scorpion under my father's seal.

“What do you think happened? ”

“My mother would have died. ”

“But I was determined to save your life. He didn't want Aunt Helen to die either. ”

Josef opens his eyes sharply.

“But she's my mother. I would have done everything I could to protect it. Just like you.”

“Didn't you let your father die instead? Hmmm.”

“I would have done the same thing. because my younger father was an adversary of the Karl family. ”

Just like Josef in the past, there was a rather logical and profound answer going on.

I crouched my chin thinking about how Josef helped me overcome the crisis of death many times in the war. I don't mean because he's my brother, but he's really smart. But I didn't intend to. The reason is simple, sucks. I instinctively don't like Joseph.

“So what are you going to do? ”

“I'm going to do some more math under my teacher, President Bilke. ”

I shook my hand. While Bilke was the best scholar of his time, he was also a thorough theorist. When Joseph was a child, he had to study, so his teachings were helpful, but not anymore.

Joseph's talents needed to learn reality in order to blossom.

“Never mind. Just follow me and learn your lesson. I needed someone to calm me down anyway. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

Josef looks pleased. He seemed to think there was more to learn from me than President Sue Bilke. Anyway, that sliness hasn't changed before or now.

“Your first job is a religious reform. Be sure to study thoroughly. ”

“Yes.”

When I finished speaking, I left.

“And soon I will arrange for your punishment. Now that you're old, you should get married too. Nothing is as null as growing up to be unmarried. ”

Josef opens his eyes wide.

“But that's... ”

“Why don't you like the wife I introduce you to? ”

“No · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Then what is it? ”

“Poop car in front. ”

“Do you wanna die?"

“No, I'm not.”

I changed my teeth as I left the reception room. Gandhi came out of the boat because he hadn't seen him in years. How dare you speak to me? I would have killed you before.

The end.
