571 Chapter 554 The Birth of the House of Dukes

The war with the demons, led by the demon king, was over.

The entire continent was engulfed in battle, and the human race, after sacrificing so much, succeeded in victory.

But the souvenirs left behind by the demons were huge.

"After the hole is closed by the brave." The Knight Emperor has asked our dragon people to investigate the power of Wepal. Instead, the Empire helped us find a safe haven. ”

Looking for a safe place to live?

"Even though you are a prince, you must understand the true nature of people." When there are no more outsiders, we start to fight inside. That's the human race. "

The place will change again.

The war with the devil exhausted all the nations of the continent.

There were many countries that were exiled, and the power map of the continent had changed since before the war with the demons.

"It was an empire that also fought against the devil, but it was mobilizing all its national forces to fight the devil." Although the whole continent was caught in the crossfire, some countries suffered less. Such countries pushed for territorial expansion on the basis that now was a good time. There was no empire that fought through the war to stop it. ”

An empire that became the leader of the continent during the war.

Both manpower and supplies were concentrated in the Empire. Hopefully, a unified nation around the Empire would have been completed.

But I wasn't the sweetest opponent I could win with all my strength.

The Empire has truly lost its strength.

As a result, the great powers ceased to exist and were no longer deterrent.

The continent entered the era of war.

"Even the Empire did everything it could to protect its territory." A new country has emerged, and many wars have broken out in various places. In the process, during the war with the demons, the discrimination against the sub-humans that had been sealed was beginning to return. To escape such persecution, many sub-people came to their respective countries. But we couldn't do that. "

"It's the power of Wepal..."

"Yes, a virus that might eventually reach us." If we don't do something about this, we won't be able to get out of the world with peace of mind. I would have studied it without a request from the Emperor. The Emperor then secretly arranged for a ship to transport us to the Far East. As far away from the fire as possible. "

The place changes.

That's the middle of the continent. It is now the territory of the Empire.

The middle of the continent is a strategic point for everyone. Hold it here and you'll see the way to conquer the continent.

Many countries have advanced to the center in order to get there. And the center of the continent changed into a fierce battlefield.

The faction chart was changing day by day.

However, the great flame that wrapped around the center came to a halt.

"What happened...?"

“It's a historic event. Of all the emperors, the Knight Emperor must have done the feat of putting his fingers on his thumb.”

In the middle, the wars were gradually disappearing.

And in the aftermath, war disappears from all over the continent.

It may have been a temporary event.

Still, there was no more war from the continent.

The place will change again.

A brave man stood beside the emperor.

"After closing the hole, the brave went on a journey." He was talking about what to do with the Holy Sword. Too much force calls for strife. The hero who defeated the Demon King was more threatening than the Demon King. You must have understood that. Maybe he was looking for his missing best friend. Anyway, the hero went on a journey. That's a couple of years. "

And then... came to the Emperor.

From there, anyone who lives in the Empire knows it.

The Emperor wished to keep the hero in the Empire, but the hero said that he did not need the status of Duke, Marquis or Count.

The Emperor decided to give such a brave man the title of the only one on the continent to stay in the Empire.

The name of the title is "House of Dukes".

"After the first journey, the brave first came under us." The content was that I wanted you to keep the Holy Sword. It was not very easy, but it was a shame that the brave man seemed unable to defend it. And he looked very tired. And the heroes have been asking if the power of the virus will stop if they risk their own lives. "

"Were you going to die..."

"Growing poison. The aim was obvious." Therefore, the hero tried to lose the objective. But we didn't know that. So I explained that it was a dangerous bet and suggested that we talk to the Emperor. At that time, the Emperor was looking for the whereabouts of the brave. "

"And the Knight Emperor succeeded in keeping the brave at bay..."

"There is no guarantee that the poison will disappear." It can even be said that it is more likely that it will not disappear. Then you decided to entrust it to the future. And left his own bloodline. As the bearer and guardian of the Holy Sword. It was a big deal from all over the continent. Because when a brave man becomes a nobleman of the Empire, he becomes the emperor's lord. "

"Is that why the war stopped?" Fear the Holy Sword. "

The hero defeated the demon king.

The most powerful person in the world. If it were to work for the Emperor, no country would think of waging war near the Empire.

I didn't send a brave man to keep the peace.

"Nevertheless, the brave did not wield the Holy Sword during his lifetime." For the rest of my life in the Empire, I leaned on the seal of the Holy Sword. And with the death of the brave, a powerful seal was created that no one could break. "

There was no mention of the Holy Sword anywhere.

It was said that it was in the tomb of the First Lord Yong, or underneath the Imperial City, but it wasn't the usual way to hide the Dragon Man Clan.

"However, in the future, the demon invasion was also expected." So the Hero left a way to summon the Holy Sword. Not everyone is fine. It was the hero's residual thoughts that made the difference. Only those recognized by the brave could summon the Holy Sword. Of course, the assumption is that you have enough power to handle it. "

"Looking at the seal, even the first Yuuki couldn't destroy it..."

"I heard you tried, but it seemed impossible." The brave man was afraid. As I have appeared, mankind occasionally appears out of standard. No one knows if he will use the sword correctly if he has it. "

I understand the danger.

In fact, even the occasional summoned Holy Sword was destroying the continent's balance of power.

"After the death of the brave, the nations began to fight again. But the time the brave bought was enough for the Empire to regain its might. It was originally a country against the devil. They swallowed up the emerging countries that had made their way to the center of the continent one after another. And with the empire reigning in the middle of the continent, other nations had to give up advancing to the middle of the continent. Of course, the Empire itself was terrifying, but by that time, the descendants of the brave had begun to summon the Holy Sword. The war period on the continent began to converge.”

The place changes to the sky again.

The map of the continent's forces gradually moves and changes into a form I know well.

"And to this day." This is the end of the world five hundred years ago. Even mankind at that time could not defeat the devil without exerting all their might. No, since we couldn't prevent Wepal's virus in the end, we won't win..... "

"We know they're strong enemies. It was a pretty tough fight now that the first Yuuki was gone. But... there was no demon king either. Moreover, in terms of human resources, we are still not beaten. Without the demon king... we'll be able to do something even with the strength of the continent we're fighting today."
