Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans - Chapter 100
Should I say it’s too arrogant or extreme? It seems that even those who hate the different races and boil their fighting spirit can’t accept it easily.
“Are you afraid of the word destroying this race? Aren’t you afraid of humans going back to livestock? Are you praising that the imperial expedition just returned after punishing evil? Do not be mistaken. This is a tribal struggle!”
I kicked the floor vigorously with my foot from my standing position.
The crowd looked at me with wide eyes in amazement.
“Will humans be raised as livestock and then disposed of when their use is over, or will humans survive as the only dominant species in the world? Only that. Because the destruction of this race is the only way to protect you, not for any other reason.”
The extinction of this race.
This is a non-negotiable goal.
‘Humans and other races cannot coexist. never.’
Of course, a parasite called a vampire is natural, and it is natural that Orcs and Goblins, who do not view humans as livestock for food or breeding, cannot coexist.
‘Naga, Lizardman, Dwarf, Elf. Will they forget the days when humans were domesticated animals? they don’t forget They will always remember these days when they lived intoxicated with glory and long for it.’
If we show mercy and leave this race behind, humans will someday become slaves again. Like those glorious old days.
‘It would be a little different if generations change and individual grudges are buried in the flow of history.’
It can’t be like that.
However, this species is different.
Unlike humans, they live a very long life.
And that difference prevents coexistence.
‘Human life is short. Only twice, even if generations change, you can’t realize history. But elves, dwarves, and longevity species remember grudges not through history, but through life.’
The Pyramid of King Khufu in Egypt was built around 2560 BC. It has a history of nearly 4000 years in modern times.
4000 years is a long time in human history.
How about this tribe?
Which of the elves live the longest?
It’s a long time even for elves. But not history.
For the elves, 4000 years is not history, it is only personal experience, and it is not a time to crumble into oblivion. No matter how much time passes, they will remember. That they ruled the world, ruled humans, and humans were mere cattle.
And they will tell their descendants about those days and cry out that they must find the glory of the past.
‘The different races can hold on to one grudge for that time. The resentment of history that humans cannot even realize. Elves can say that it is a personal grudge.’
When the day comes when humans throw their resentment into history, lower their vigilance, and the heterogeneous race rises up shouting revenge, will humans be able to overcome it again?’
‘Never, I can’t overcome it.’
Humans will be enslaved again, never to be free again.
“I tell you, no other race in this world, other than humans, will be granted freedom without the permission of humans. I will make you, the human race, the only ruling race in this world. That is the purpose of Jim.”
I scanned the surprised expression and smiled in the light.
There were quite a few tribes in the crowd who were not subjects.
I looked at them, feeling the ring tremble.
###
Even if the triumphal ceremony ended on the same day, the festival continued for several more days.
However, as soon as the improvement ceremony was over, I headed to the office.
“Isn’t life too boring?”
Skadi grumbled and followed as if he knew that.
I smiled shyly and sat down.
What can I do, this is my personality.
“Well, I knew your father would do this.”
Skadi gave a small sigh and handed me the papers.
“To report just a few key things, we first disbanded the German government-general. Just like when we dissolved the Viceroy of Wallachia, we abolished all the privileges of the nobility, and we also disposed of the rebellious nobles.”
Expedition period of more than half a year.
In the meantime, the empire went through another change.
One of the biggest changes was the dissolution of the Government General.
“In effect, an empire with three governments is finally left with only one central government.”
Skadi glanced at Rachel.
Rachel is the head of the Catholic Church. The Congregational Church was directly subordinate to the emperor rather than the executive branch, but because of its size, it operated more like an independent government.
Skadi, who belongs to the head of the administration, would be reluctant to look at it.
“We are not affiliated with the administration, but we are doing everything the administration requests…”
Then Rachel shook her head and complained.
As if he had suffered a lot from Skadi, he kept a low profile.
“Anyway, now the nobility has officially disappeared from the Empire. There are nobles, and they still own the land, but they are just landlords who cannot enact laws, enforce laws, or mobilize armies as they did in the days of the feudal lords.”
“It was faster than I thought. It wouldn’t have been easy.”
It is not difficult if you assume suppression.
It was difficult because we had to take away the privilege while stopping the rebellion.
It must have been successful because Skadi’s skills were not ordinary.
She shrugged.
“Of course it wasn’t easy. But what, what will they do? You said it before. Shall we now rebel and wait for help from the other races?”
The prestige of the empire must have also played a part.
Fighting on all sides, they were reaping a winning streak.
From the small southern kingdoms supported by the representative system to the republics and the great plains descended by orcs and goblins, there has been constant fighting since the founding of the empire, but there has been no defeat.
In addition, even the first expedition of mankind leads to victory.
If you are not a race that aspires to become a slave of a different race on a genetic level, there is no reason not to ride on the prestige of the empire.
“The slaves who did not mount were taken care of by Nuadil.”
The security forces did their job in an invisible place like this.
I smiled while looking at the next document.
‘Rosene rode the rope well.’
Although the empire took away the privileges of the nobility, it did not wield a stick without a carrot. Depending on the opponent, he gave various benefits and induced them to give up their privileges.
It was an unusual case for the Marquis of Loisene to voluntarily give up privileges. Skadi told me that he would give up his status as a nobleman before he even presented him with a carrot.
‘As expected, he’s quick-witted.’
Marquis of Loisene.
The family of Yulia, who was once my fiancée.
Before the privilege was abolished, Julia and Rachel suppressed the uprising of the Wolf Cult, and had a good record.
Although he did not join the formally established Imperial Army because he was leading the privates of the Marquis family, according to the documents, he applied to join the newly established military academy.
“I’d say my father’s eye for trends is as good as that of my father’s.”
I flipped through the papers while touching my smiling lips.
After the disbandment of the Government General, there was a report about the prisoners of the Republic.
“Most of the nobles who had a strange dream of becoming a subservient of the naga also converted. He looks pretty shocked from the expedition.”
“I guess so. You must have seen the lizard hunt right in front of you.”
The prisoners of the Republic were all citizens.
Citizens of the Republic have a chance to become subspecies of the naga if they do well, and that’s why they have more blind faith than even the Wolf Cultists.
They were a race that was almost impossible to convert, so I didn’t consider them human. It was because they did not value their lives, whether they were forcibly mobilized during the attack on Tishreddon or as a support unit for the expeditionary force.
However, even if he is blinded by fanaticism, he seems unable to completely ignore reality. I’ve seen them go out of the human realm and hunt Orcs, Goblins and even Lizardmen.
The impact must have been quite large.
“Franz, the Minister of Finance, felt sorry for me.”
Skadi smiled bitterly.
It’s like losing manpower that can be rolled for free.
Doesn’t it feel like the treasury’s magic wand has disappeared?
“I can’t help it. If they really want to live as human beings, there is no reason to reject them. The Empire knows no forgiveness. For humans only.”
Other than that, there have been many changes.
Agriculture obtained potato and turnip seeds from the Lizardmen’s territory, and machinery was introduced in earnest in industry. In particular, the mechanical equipment was about to stick out my tongue even for me.
In the field of agriculture and commerce, Pasimea gathered people who were talented in research and development like her, set up a research institute, and made various facilities, and the results were coming out one by one.
The representative achievements are steel mills and steam engines.
Both were in the stage of demonstration, so their use was limited. Steelworks is the prerequisite for mass production of small blast furnace technology and cast iron cannons. The steam engine is installed in the drainage pump of the coal mine to slightly increase the mining efficiency.
“Personally, I like weaving and spinning machines more than steel mills and steam engines. It is said that by improving the existing one, the production efficiency can be increased by 8 times.”
A spinning machine is a machine that makes yarn by processing fibers.
A weaving loom is a machine that weaves fabric by intertwining yarn.
The improvement of the two means the same thing.
“This is the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.”
“yes?”
He waved his hand saying he was talking to himself.
Blast furnaces make steel, coal is used to power steam engines, looms and spinners increase the production of textiles, these are all signs of the Earth’s Industrial Revolution.
The Imperium of Man was at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
‘A dwarf’s siege cannon from the south. It needs to be checked at what level it is technically, but no matter how much it has been improved, it probably won’t get ahead of us.’
When you think of technology, you probably think of dwarves.
However, in fact, the Dwarf’s skills were not very high.
The word dexterity was more accurate than the comprehensive word skill.
‘And the craftsmanship is just as amazing as that.’
Individual talent was very high, but as an artist, it was a race with excessive pride. Because he had a strong dislike for division of labor and mass production by machines.
If the Empire’s arsenal produced muskets through the division of labor, the dwarves would lock themselves in their workshops and cut every single stitch.
Not only that, but if you can afford to carve a musket with the same design, you will try to differentiate yourself from other craftsmen by engraving the pattern by hand.
‘Other races will be less repulsive, but by the time they embrace science, not magic, the Empire will be several steps ahead.’
Therefore, the siege guns that appeared in the south were not a problem.
From noble mtl dot com
Rather, who raises Mersephone is a bigger problem.
“your majesty.”
I heard the gaze directed at the documents.
I opened the door to the office and Raimondo entered.
“A blood relative?”
“yes.”
The ring was shaking, so I knew without listening.
The ring containing Vlad’s soul reacts to blood kinship and servants, so it meant that there were mosquitoes around, and the ring whispered to me that it was my blood relative.
“A vampire who volunteers to be Vlad’s envoy wants to see Your Majesty. Would you like to call in? If you don’t want it, I’ll dispose of it.”
“It’s worth listening to the story. Bring me.”
It is obvious why he was sent as an envoy.
Aren’t you asking me for help?
Vlad must have reached his limit as well.
No matter how huge the Mycenae Empire was, it lost many of the pillars that supported it. I must have lost some of my soul and weakened myself.
I was attacked by the representative system without any time to deal with such a situation, how can I withstand it?
‘However, I don’t know what kind of help to seek.’
If you want a military dispatch, we can’t accept it.
Doesn’t this mean that the government should wage an all-out war against the representative system?
Vlad won’t be unaware of this, so he’ll want some indirect help.
‘I can use the Orc to defeat the enemy forces like I hit the goblin, or I can ask for other support.’
As for other support, there is one thing that is certain.
‘But that’s…’
Soon, the messenger of the Mycenae Empire, Vlad’s blood relative, came in.
【Lv. 76]
As a blood relative, the level is high.
It would be difficult to send a blood relative higher than this.
In the middle of the war, I couldn’t send a high-ranking blood relative, and there was a possibility that I would kill the god of death.
As a guy, I made the best choice for myself.
“My name is Mihai. He is the fifty-sixth descendant of his father, Vlad. Your Majesty the Emperor.”
Mihai bowed to me.
The magic power emitted by the ring imprisoned him.
I must have realized that the leash had been squeezed without my knowledge.
“Why did you find me?”
He trembled and opened his mouth quickly.
“My father has sent me to seek help from Your Majesty.”
“Help. Yeah, what help do you want?”
“I want a weapon.”
For a moment, I hit my forehead again on the floor.
“Give us the weapons Your Majesty used to conquer the Naga Parasites and punish the Lizardmen incarnate. Then we can survive the crisis.”
Is it too
I avoided an immediate answer and stroked my chin.
Handing over the musket is no problem.
Gunpowder is not a great skill because even the dwarves know about it.
Didn’t Vlad plant blood relatives and servants in each race?
If you tried to get it, there was nothing you couldn’t get.
‘But asking me to do so means I don’t have enough time. They must be seeking help from me because they can’t afford to go through research and development even for a few months, and they can’t afford to undergo improvement while experiencing combat.’
Skipping all the trials and errors and needing help.
‘Trying to turn the situation around with a new weapon.’
It’s like the end of the Nazi Empire.
I snorted.
“Vlad is mistaken. Do you think this could be a divine weapon? If you think so, go back. I don’t want to shatter your pathetic dreams.”
“no. I know. Gunpowder is originally nothing more than something dwarfs use for entertainment.”
“Do you still want to?”
“yes. Because it makes up for one of our weaknesses.”
Weakness.
I narrowed my eyes because I knew the meaning.
“We use corpses as servants instead of living slaves. The dead don’t talk, and they don’t need to be fed. Also, a living person must die, and when he dies, he leaves behind a body.”
Therefore, corpses are cheaply scattered around the world.
Vlad built an empire out of corpses. Orcs and goblins must have been aiming for Vlad for no reason. It’s because there’s not much to eat even if you stare at the empire of corpses.
“Of course, there are many limitations to the technique of disarming a corpse. There are too many weaknesses. Above all, corpses are fragile and stupid.”
That was the reason why even if there were no corpses, even if there were so many of them that they could cover Mt. Because they can only do simple labor, and the intensity of labor is lower than that of ordinary humans.
Sending a rotting corpse or skeleton into an army is the same as sending a level 1 farmer to the front line.
‘But I understand orders to pull the trigger.’
The act of loading the cannon is not difficult.
What Mihai was aiming for now was clear.
‘When I first recruited the conscripts, why did Rachel target freed slaves?’
Because you have blind allegiance.
Its loyalty to its master was so great that it could not even think of fear, and it was only because it was fit to be a being willing to sacrifice its own life for the sake of mankind.
Think of a freed slave as a corpse.
An army that knows no fear and outnumbers Mount Tai.
Arming them with gunpowder weapons to fight the representative system?
“I’m going to make an army of lions.”
I saw the ring on my index finger.
Vlad’s spirit whispered to me to call me.
Vampire Consulting (1)
“That’s right. We want to build an army out of corpses.”
an army of lions
I tapped the armrest of the chair with my index finger.
“What is the price? If I help you, what will you give me?”
“I heard that you dismantled the lizardmen’s ranch and saved humans. We will also return all humans within the Mycena Empire to Your Majesty.”
“hmm.”
To vampires, humans are food, not slaves.
Simple tasks can be left to the undead.
Human use is bound to be limited.
“It’s hard to believe. You guys are going to give up on humans.”
However, even without being mobilized for work, human values are high.
This is because Vlad and other major blood relatives are of human origin, so he likes human blood, and because of that, he raises humans like pigs for nobles.
In a way, they’re more like a Lizardman.
Lizardmen raised humans as offerings to the gods and used them for simple labor or as arrow holders, but vampires only treated humans as food.
It’s just that there is no facility like the Lizardmen’s human ranch, and what they do is more toxic than the Lizardmen.
“Please consider us as desperate as that.”
I found out through the report that it was not a lie.
According to Nuadil’s report, the war would not have lasted even a year.
It’s a shame because I recalled the expeditionary force of the Elves and Lizardmen.
Otherwise, Vlad would have chosen to surrender unconditionally by now.
“We have nothing to offer you, except humans. You know that Orichalcum and Mithral are in a position where even blood relatives cannot supply them, and even if they want to give them their territory, they cannot.”
Orichalcum and Mithral are strategic items.
It’s meaningless if you take the gunpowder weapon and hand over the two.
There is no way to maintain the territory without receiving it. The distance between the two empires was far, and the sea route was blocked, and if the two empires were openly shown, there was a high possibility that the power of the representative system concentrated in the Mycena Empire would bounce to the human empire.
“Above all, His Majesty, the fact that we fight against the representative system is important.”
yeah that’s the most important thing
At the bold words, I laughed lightly.
After sending Mihai out, the minister gathered and discussed.
“I agree.”
Gehardr answered.
“If this proposal is not Vlad’s trap, I think we should support the Mycenae Empire. Support Mycenae to make the representative system prolong the war—”
“wait for a sec.”
Pasimea, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, cut off her words.
“What the mosquitoes are asking for is a gunpowder weapon?”
Pasimea crumpled her teeth.
To think that he had to hand over his hard-made equipment to mosquitoes.
It’s because I don’t like it, so my thoughts are fluctuating.
“The number of musketeers in the Imperial Army is less than ten thousand. The stocks accumulated by expanding production facilities in Germania and Wallochia during the expedition are not enough to arm half of the imperial army. By the way, you support mosquitoes?”
Her concerns were valid.
It’s because it means giving others arms that I couldn’t do.
However, Gerhard did not break the claim.
“If a vampire fights against the representative system on our behalf, isn’t it the same as blowing our noses without touching them? I think the benefits are greater than training the same number of musketeers.”
“I think so too.”
Nuadil also agreed with Gehard’s argument.
“Wasn’t one of the reasons the owner went on an expedition to the Lizardmen to help Mycena? It’s because Micena has to endure for a long time to cut off the power of the representative system.”
I nodded.
It was nice to fight each other and cut power, but there was also the fact that the Imperium of Man could grow unhindered while the Great Empire floundered in the mud of war.
“Not only that. If the gunpowder weapon we provided to Mycena is effective against elves and dwarves, they will see it differently.”
Gunpowder is something that the Dwarves developed a long time ago.
Canvas is also a weapon that can be made quickly if you know the concept.
Just like the appearance of siege guns on the southern border.
“Putting aside the other races, let’s say elves and dwarves use gunpowder weapons. Then, what will cause the gap between humans and other races?”
This race is more sensitive to magic than humans.
The word sensitive to magic means that there is a high possibility that an individual will grow into an existence that can overwhelm hundreds or thousands of people.
What if these races intoxicated with the convenience of gunpowder weapons? What if you realized that gunpowder weapons can capture long-trained beings with the snap of a finger?
Gradually, more and more people will use the same weapons as humans.
The disparity in armed forces between races will gradually narrow.
“I think we should send an advisory group here too.”
“Isn’t it just providing weapons?”
Gerhard answered instead.
“Even if you hand over a weapon, you don’t have to know how to use it. The operation of muskets is simple, but the way to operate an army with muskets is not simple.”
Even if you give thousands of muskets, the opponent can use them mixed with melee infantry without dense fire, or the accuracy rate can be long because you don’t know gunnery.
It is only then that water is poured into the bottomless embankment.
If they gave you a fishing rod, you should also teach them how to fish.
“Ah, I don’t like it.”
Pasimea scratched her head nervously.
Gehard and Nuadil, two people with military authority within the empire, voted in favor, so it was difficult for her to just oppose it. Glancing at me, I tried to say something, but I ignored it.
I also agree with both opinions.
“The advisory group.”
I didn’t answer right away, I thought about it for a while.
If you send an advisory group, of course you have to send a follower.
Do you know what will happen if you send an ordinary human?
“There are a few good people. Shall we put the list up?”
“no.”
Suddenly, I had a better idea.
