Episode 237: The Departure of the Punitive Army

A noisy royal palace with whispers.

After scanning the ministers around him, the Marquis of Arha narrowed his eyes and glared at Yukiel.

‘It’s already this much influence… … .’

It has a bigger impact than expected.

If he succeeds in subjugating and returns to the capital safely, his influence will never be ignored.

In that situation, if you accept the position of palace archmage and add strength to the king’s faction, it will be quite a hassle.

‘You must not enter the royal capital alive.’

I have to kill it somehow.

However, his level is problematic for that.

No matter how low you put it, he is above a mage and even has a huge army of undead.

Unless there are undead, it is not at all easy to kill him who is protected by undead.

‘I must kill him. Even if it means making great sacrifices.’

His military power and tens of thousands of undead seen in the last war.

If he receives the title of palace archmage and settles down inside the palace, it will be a headache.

It is not simply because of the ripple effect and influence, but because the pressure from the king and the king’s faction disappears.

The power of the King faction is mostly concentrated in the royal capital, including the royal capital and its nearby territories.

In comparison, the noble faction is larger and much stronger, but is dispersed here and there.

When an unexpected situation occurs, the king can quickly concentrate his power, but the noble faction takes some time.

If the king wants to attack the noble faction, the noble faction will also have no choice but to rebel and plot a rebellion.

However, what if he holds on as the palace archmage and deploys tens of thousands of undead inside the palace?

Honestly, there is no answer. If you had tens of thousands of soldiers, you could buy time and hold out until you ran out of food, but your opponent was the undead.

There is no need for food. It just means that you can protest indefinitely.

‘That will never work.’

If a treason has occurred, the king must be brought down quickly.

The longer it goes on, the more centrists can form forces under the pretext of suppressing rebellion.

Therefore, his presence can never be tolerated in the noble faction.

The moment the king thinks he is safe, the influence of the king’s faction will begin to grow uncontrollably.

“Tsk, that pathetic guy… … .”

The Marquis of Arha swore, remembering Count Belto.

It would have been much more reassuring if the person who would have been a headache to meet as an enemy had become an ally.

Because of that idiot, the possibility of becoming an ally was completely ruled out and they became unconditionally hostile.

“You look like a pain in the ass.”

* * *

Under the pouring gaze, Yukiel bowed his head at the parade ground inside the palace.

King Henry Belcarte looked down at Yukiel from a high platform.

And below, descendants of the royal family, including each minister, greeted Yukiel, who was about to depart.

The King, seeing Yukiel dressed in formal etiquette, opened the teaching book and read its contents.

“Baron Agnes Yukiel. He must uphold the teachings of the church.”

“god. Agnes Yukiel. “I accept Your Majesty’s teachings.”

“Recently, the situation is chaotic and full of confusion. The reality is that countless gates are being created and countless monsters are pouring out. Tragically, the people suddenly become prey to monsters and are wandering in a swamp of despair.”

“… … .”

“I feel devastated because this kind of phenomenon occurs not only in the main kingdom, but throughout the entire country.”

“… … .”

“Baron Agnes Yukiel, follow my orders and clear out the Ers Plain and all gates in its vicinity, and restore the land of the kingdom that has turned into a land of death.”

“god. Agnes Yukiel. “I accept Your Majesty’s command!”

“Although, due to the difficult situation in the kingdom, I cannot grant you a punitive army, there are a large number of undead under your command. Therefore, as the king of this kingdom, I temporarily grant you a title equivalent to ‘commander’ and an appropriate name plate.”

King Henry Belcarte presented Yukiel with a school magazine and a luxurious, shiny name plate.

As Yukiel carefully accepted the school newsletter and name plate, the Marquis of Arha suddenly spoke, bowing to the king on the podium.

“your majesty. He is suspected of destroying a minister’s mansion and killing his family. “If we appoint him as commander of the punitive force and send him out of the capital without conducting a thorough investigation, the rules of the palace will be disrupted and the palace’s reputation will be tarnished.”

The Marquis of Arha is biting and drooping.

The King’s Marquis Carlin frowned at that and raised his voice and shouted.

“Marquis Arha! What are you doing now that you’re about to go to war? “Don’t you know that 1 o’clock is urgent now!”

“Yes! We must send it to you after conducting a thorough investigation and revealing the truth. Moreover, if you are going according to the king’s orders and not for anything else!”

“under! “Is there any evidence that he did it!?”

The Marquis of Arha raised the corner of his mouth at the Marquis of Carlin’s anger.

“Isn’t it called ‘suspicion’ because there isn’t one yet? If so, wouldn’t he be beheaded according to the law of the land?”

Even the Marquis of Arha knew that they were nothing more than a flock of raw fish.

However, that didn’t mean it didn’t make sense at all.

‘We have to take our time.’

I don’t know how much I can hold on to.

However, there is no harm in taking time.

As time passes, the monsters in Ers Plain will become more numerous and stronger, and it will become more difficult for Yukiel to subdue them.

Additionally, while he is stranded in the royal capital, he can gain time to move his forces secretly.

They say there is nothing bad about tripping and falling.

In response to the Marquis of Arha’s response, King Henry Belcarte spoke with a voice that swallowed his anger.

“Marquis, this is the place to see off his departure. “It is not too late to resolve the suspicions after subjugating them.”

“Hana, Your Majesty! he is… … .”

“marquis! Can’t you even hear the people’s screams? I will not support the punitive army either! I will not send anyone who wants to subdue me! “Are you a great noble of this kingdom and a minister?”

Henry Belcarte roared.

However, the Marquis of Arha nodded indifferently, as if he had already expected it.

“your majesty. He is a person who obeys the king’s commands and receives teachings. How can you leave doubts behind and tell the king to carry out his orders? He is tarnishing Your Majesty’s name and shaking up the discipline of the country!”

“Marquis Arha!”

“your majesty. You give the title of commander to someone who harbors suspicions? “If we make a mistake, some people may think that His Majesty has something to do with this.”

As soon as the Marquis of Arha finished speaking, all the nobles gathered under the podium came out in unison to defend the Marquis of Arha.

Meanwhile, centrist ministers also began to whisper and waver in the overheated atmosphere.

They, who are also the lords of each territory, build mansions in the royal capital and stay there to attend to state affairs.

But, you boldly tried to kill a minister in the royal capital, which should be completely safe?

It wasn’t an assassination, but an attempt to kill the entire family by destroying the mansion without a trace.

It was something that could never be felt like it was someone else’s business.

At that moment, Yukiel let out a small sigh and threw the nameplate given to him by the king straight at the Marquis of Arha.

Whirly lick-

A plaque flying at high speed.

The Marquis of Arha was not embarrassed and quickly snatched up the nameplate.

“Baron Agnes, what are you doing?”

“Is that nameplate and the title of commander the problem? In that case, I will not accept the title of commander.”

Hearing Yukiel’s cold words, the Marquis of Arha smiled softly as he touched the sparkling nameplate.

“Baron, do you seem to be misunderstanding something? “I am saying that you, who are suspected of murdering a minister, are not worthy of receiving the king’s orders.”

In response to Marquis Arha’s criticism, Yukiel slowly walked in front of him.

“Then, after I went to subdue it! “You must conduct a thorough investigation in the royal capital without me and find evidence that I did it.”

“… … .”

“If there isn’t one! “It’s okay to fabricate evidence.”

At Yukiel’s words, all the ministers opened their eyes wide and tilted their heads.

I’m not saying don’t fabricate it, but fabricating evidence?

Yukiel glanced at the ministers with questioning expressions and continued speaking in a cool voice.

“step! I will declare it right here. If you try to frame me, who is innocent! “There is absolutely nothing that cannot be done.”

It was a clear threat.

If you can, try it.

However, if the evidence is manipulated and driven into a corner, they will kill everyone just like if the evidence was really fabricated.

The ministers immediately reacted to Yukiel’s threats that went too far.

It was extremely rude for a baron without any title in the palace yet.

At a time when the atmosphere was about to become even more heated, King Henry Belcarte Henry Belcarte took control of the royal palace with a loud roar.

“This is outrageous! “Can’t everyone just be quiet?!?”

There was silence for a moment.

The gaze of all ministers, whether aristocratic or centrist, was focused on the king.

In response, King Henry Belcarte put pressure on the ministers with a cold and cold voice.

“Jim has already issued a notice to Baron Agnes and a royal order. Are you ignoring and rejecting my king’s orders?”

There was a cold silence.

The ministers could not say anything in response to the king’s words.

It means to push for royal power, but if you say something wrong here, it will be an insult to the king, and at worst, it could be accused of treason.

“The suspicion of attempting to murder the minister is something that must be thoroughly investigated and the truth clearly revealed. However, it is true that subduing monsters is a race against the clock.”

“… … .”

“As the king, I cannot sit idly by and watch the kingdom being eaten away by monsters. Therefore, it is right to end the subjugation before deciding whether the suspicions are right or wrong. “Anyone who ignores the burden more than this and refuses the king’s orders will be considered to have harbored a traitor.”

The King’s stubborn will.

When the Marquis of Arha saw him, the corners of his eyes trembled.

He hasn’t even set foot in the palace yet, but the king is already going out strong like me.

If he succeeds in subjugating and enters the royal capital, the king’s attitude will be obvious even without looking at it.

It is obvious that they will become even more arrogant than they are now and will try to put pressure on the noble faction.

‘As expected, his very existence is a threat to the noble faction.’

It doesn’t matter how much it costs.

Regardless of white magic or black magic, they had to receive secret support from major schools.

In fact, this is the last chance to kill him with minimal sacrifice.

If you want to kill him after he returns to the capital, you must prepare for all-out war.

Because the King and the King faction behind him will not just watch his death.

Meanwhile, Yukiel snatched the nameplate from Marquis Arha’s hand and turned his steps.

“your majesty! “I will follow the king’s orders and subdue all the monsters in the Ers Plain and reclaim the land.”

Yukiel, showing utmost respect, got on the skeletal horse next to him.

Only a few people, including Stoll, are with Yukiel.

It was too shabby to be called a punitive force.

As Yukiel, riding on the skeletal horse, paid his respects to the king for the last time, the princess under the podium took a careful step.

“… … ?”

Yukiel looked up at the king with a questioning expression.

However, the king avoided Yukiel’s gaze.

Yukiel laughed at the obvious action.

Meanwhile, the princess, who arrived in front of Yukiel, smiled as she hung a small accessory on Yukiel’s collar.

“I hope you return safely.”

“I will definitely do that. “Your Majesty the Princess.”

Yukiel, who put the accessories the princess gave him in his arms, shook his head.

It looks like the king must have ordered it to brighten his face.

Starting with him, Yukiel slowly raised his hand.

“Undead Dimension.”

At that moment, the black space opened and the undead began pouring out.

The shabby appearance was transformed into an army full of majesty.

“Oooh… … .”

“Well, that… … .”

At the thousands of undead that filled the parade ground, the royalist and centrist ministers each let out an exclamation.

Now it really deserves to be called a ‘subjugation force’.

Sensing their gaze, Yukiel turned the skeletal horse’s nose and moved forward with a faint smile.

To monopolize the large amount of experience points in the Erha Plain.
