Episode 231

“No, it won’t work!” “You give such authority to someone who has no merit!?”

“you’re right! It’s not a barbarian land or a frontier, so it’s extraterritorial!? “This is absolutely unfair!”

Ministers of the aristocratic faction who cry out against suicide.

King Henry Belcarte, watching him, let out a small sigh.

‘I expected it… … .’

Their reaction is natural.

There is no way I would hesitate to accept that they would give me such ridiculous authority without any justification.

Extraterritoriality refers to a place where the power of the king and the central political world cannot reach.

And, it is the same as a weakening of the royal authority, and it is not only the aristocratic faction that wants it the most.

Leaving behind the noisy ministers, Henry Belcarte looked at Yukiel, who was standing silently on one side.

‘I wonder if I can do well.’

Even if he was originally a monarchist, extraterritoriality is nonsense.

If you give them permission once, they will try everything.

But, that’s just a general story.

He and his territory have some special characteristics.

If such authority were given to central nobles who had great influence in central politics, it would pose a significant threat to royal power.

And, it is the same regardless of whether it is the noble faction or the royal faction.

However, his territory is slightly different in nature.

Because it is located on the border far from the royal capital, it does not pose a major threat and is not suitable for gathering troops and starting a rebellion.

That’s because most of his vast land, which will become extraterritorial, is the Estelle Mountains.

In other words, since it is land that the royal family does not care about anyway, giving it extraterritorial rights makes no difference.

Of course, even that would be difficult for the aristocratic faction to accept.

“It is true that his level is extraordinary. “He cannot afford to give a cold shoulder to someone who would be of great help to the kingdom in times of emergency.”

“No, it works! Isn’t he from a noble family from another kingdom!? “I don’t understand what you believe and why you give such an award!”

“Despite their origins, they are from a family that has already fallen and disappeared. Also, aren’t we now rooted in this kingdom?”

“First of all, he has no merit, does he? “Before praising an award, there must be corresponding merit!”

Henry Belcarte snorted and nodded slowly at the words of an aristocratic faction.

“yes. “Before praising an award, you need to acknowledge the contribution you made to the kingdom.”

“if… … .”

“Do it! I order him to conquer the Ers Plain! Numerous monsters are rampaging and the innocent people of the kingdom are being killed! The vast territory of the kingdom turned into a dead land, a wasteland infested with poisonous insects. And, the dead land is still growing in size and eating away at the kingdom. So! “I want to give him the credit he deserves.”

The King’s exasperated voice.

All the ministers of the King faction frowned at that.

I had expected it since you started talking nonsense, but I never thought they would actually bring up the Ers Plain.

“If we had quickly formed a punitive force and suppressed it in the beginning, this would not have happened! One, what happened! Didn’t things end up like this because each minister’s selfishness dragged the unification of the punitive forces?! So, I want to give him a chance to contribute to the kingdom.”

“Your Majesty the King!! one… … .”

“Otherwise, would you support troops even now? of course! Unlike in the beginning, as the situation worsens, more punitive forces will have to be formed. In addition, because of your lukewarm actions, the kingdom’s territory has turned into a dead land, so a punitive force will have to be stationed in the Ers Plain to restore it.”

Marquis Arha gritted his teeth at King Belcart’s words.

‘This was the target.’

Extraterritoriality is just a bait.

It’s just something I said knowing that everyone would reject it anyway.

What is really important is recruiting troops to subdue the monsters in the Ers Plain.

As time goes by, more troops will no doubt be required.

However, there is no way that a central noble would not know its meaning.

It is not easy to return troops once deployed.

Even if the subjugation is completed, the deployed troops will not be returned to each noble.

‘In the end, we will subjugate it to the 1st Corps.’

The justification is to recover the territory, but stationing the punitive force in the Ers Plain means that they want to take time.

It is not easy for a land that has once died to return to its former state.

It is obvious that they will drag on for a long time and try to increase the power of the King faction by absorbing the punitive forces into the 1st Corps.

‘Damn… … .’

There is no reason to refuse.

If he steps down like this, he will be given a weapon called ‘extraterritorial power’ to the king’s faction.

Although it is a useless land due to its location, there is no telling what the King faction will plan there.

And above all, there is a risk that the initiative will be lost to the King faction.

If he voluntarily resigns like this, the morale within the noble faction will drop significantly.

However, accepting the king’s request is also problematic.

That could have weakened the power of the noble faction right now.

At the same time, the ministers of the noble faction began exchanging glances with each other.

And at that time, the Marquis of Arha, one of the great pillars of the noble faction, spoke with a determined expression.

“if! He will have to conquer the Ers Plain alone, without any military support.”

The Marquis of Arha’s counterattack.

Starting with that, all the ministers of the noble faction agreed with his words and presented their respective opinions.

Seeing this, the ministers of the King faction all protested and raised their voices.

“What do you mean? “Does that even make sense?!”

“That’s right! No matter what! Did you dare to go alone?! “Think and speak!”

Daejeon is a place where everyone and everyone gets into arguments like a market floor.

It was a time when we exchanged shouts and our emotions deepened.

The Marquis of Arha raised the corner of his mouth and turned his head to the ministers of the royal faction.

“Isn’t it obvious? It is outside of extraterritorial jurisdiction. Throughout history, even war heroes have never been granted such authority.”

“… … .”

“The soldiers are all citizens of the Belkart Kingdom! How dare you sacrifice so recklessly? “If he leads the army in a subjugation, can it be considered entirely his achievement?”

“what!? If I do that, I have to go through that wide swamp and destroy all those gates by myself!? “Do you think that makes sense?”

“Whether it makes sense or not, wouldn’t such an achievement be a justification for receiving an award?”

At his words, all the ministers of the king’s faction and even the king gnashed their teeth.

Isn’t that the same as saying just go and die?

Even if he is an excellent mage, there will be limitations.

As long as you are human, your magic power, physical strength, and mental power are not infinite.

In addition, it is not an ordinary monster wave, but monsters that all jump out of the gate.

Aren’t they the ones who expand their specific areas and become more powerful?

King Henry Belcarte frowned and glared at the Marquis of Arha.

“Marquis Arha. Don’t you know the seriousness of the situation? Monsters are constantly pouring out of the gate. Even if you defeat it quickly, it won’t be enough, so if you try to solve it on your own, it will take a long time. Are you not thinking about the suffering the people will experience and the damage to the kingdom?”

The king’s cold voice.

The Marquis of Arha smiled slightly and continued speaking.

“Baron Agnes says there are quite a few undead. Even if he doesn’t need to support the military, wouldn’t it be enough for him to be the Baron’s undead?”

“Marquis Arha!”

“your majesty. The Ers Plain is a muddy field soaked in poison and poisonous insects. And there are a lot of monsters hiding under the mud. If we mobilize the military, our hopes will only increase and the pace of advance will only slow down.”

“… … .”

“but! Aren’t his undead any different? Since he is not alive, he will quickly walk out of the muddy field without sacrifice, and as your Majesty is concerned, we will be able to defeat him as soon as possible.”

King Henry Belcarte clenched his fists.

It may seem far-fetched, but it makes sense.

If you are undead, you will be able to advance quickly without sacrificing your soldiers.

However, the Marquis of Arha was aiming for that.

‘The idea is to reduce his power and influence.’

Regardless of whether you succeed or fail in subduing the undead, the number of undead can be dramatically reduced.

This will drastically reduce his power and influence in the short term.

If the subjugation fails and dies there, all the better, and if it fails and does not die, the earldom and extraterritorial rights can be made non-existent for the sake of name.

Even if the subjugation is successful, fatal damage will have already been incurred, so it is a matter of buying time.

The message was that they would minimize the damage no matter what.

It was a moment of cold silence with the king’s silence.

“Anyway, I’m afraid I’ll play around with my mouth because I’m afraid these guys are using their tongues as weapons.”

A voice that fills Daejeon.

It was a rude and disrespectful tone of voice.

The moment everyone’s heads turned to one direction, Yukiel stepped forward and raised his head.

“your majesty! Do whatever they want! “There is no need for military support.”

“I understand how you feel, but it’s a race against time. “What I’m saying is that we need to subdue them quickly.”

“So there is no need for it. “Don’t we need time to reorganize the military and form a punitive force?”

“Can you do it on your own?”

“That is enough. also! “That way, guys like Seungnyang won’t talk back, right?”

Yukiel’s provocation.

At this, the ministers of the noble faction all got angry and uttered one word at a time.

“Oh, that!”

“Only about the Baron… … .”

“You have a rough mouth!”

At a time when the ministers of the noble faction were swearing, the Marquis of Arha secretly smiled.

‘You idiot.’

It doesn’t matter whether it’s confidence or arrogance.

It would be even better if he died there, and even if we subjugate him, all we have to do is kill him on the spot when he is exhausted.

Considering the state of the Ers Plain, even if they are subjugated, they will also suffer fatal damage.

“As expected, your loyalty is surprising.”

The Marquis of Arha nodded with a smile.

Yukiel also raised the corner of his mouth and continued speaking.

“That snout might say something else later.”

“… … .”

There is no courtesy or respect for a nobleman.

Remarks that seem like they are trying to completely confide in the aristocratic faction.

“Young man has a rough mouth. “Not anywhere else, but in His Majesty’s presence.”

“Do you think the Marquis would be better off?”

“dare… … .”

“By the way, where is Marquis Nari’s territory?”

“What? “Why are you asking that?”

“I’m in a bad mood, but I’m going to use some magic before I go to subdue him.”

Obvious provocation.

At Yukiel’s words, Marquis Arha’s expression turned red and he let out a roar.

“Yes you bastard! There is nothing I dare not say in front of you! “Don’t you even know etiquette!?”

The Marquis of Arha could not control his anger and his fists were shaking.

And, looking at the Marquis like that, Yukiel picked his nose and threw the booger at him.

“You should work hard on that. “As you know, I am a hillbilly from the outskirts.”

“Hey, hey… … .”

The Marquis of Arha grits his teeth.

Yukiel smiled brightly at him.

‘You idiots. Rather, I say thank you.’

I was wondering what to do because there were so many eyes watching, but they cleaned him up on their own?

And, give them a chance to fully enjoy all that experience.

You might think they’ve beaten you to the punch, but they’re actually helping you.

Thanks to this, I will be able to do my best without having to worry about others.
