Albrecht leads his army and the prisoners down the hill. A short distance from the garrison, you look up at the sky.
Even though it was morning, the sky was dark with clouds, and it was likely to rain soon.
The golden armor did not sprinkle bright light because it was not illuminated by the sun, but the intricate work of the Dwarves who were invisible to the light made it appear fascinating.
A good autumn wind blows through the battlefield and blows to Albrecht. As the red cloak shifts, the smell of blood passes through Albrecht's nostrils.
It was all the blood of those who died or were injured in the last battle. Smells familiar to Albrecht.
“Hey! I got your fangs! Heeheehee.”
“Holy shit. I'm so fucking jealous.”
Soldiers are clearing the battlefield from afar. I used Velez soldiers who were disarmed as labor force, and they were searching the corpses for gold and silver.
One of the dogs opens the mouth of a dead Velez soldier and digs his gums out roughly with his dagger.
You gather the missing soldiers in one place by one, and you hear the sound of the supplies and the groaning of the wounded throughout the camp. Everyone sounds familiar to Albrecht.
Albrecht tries to look at the sky, avoiding familiar smells and sounds, but the sky doesn't allow him to cover his face with clouds.
“Your Majesty, Zigmunt and Louis are here. ”
A knight approaches cautiously and reports to Albrecht. Albrecht continues to look up at the sky as if he hadn't heard.
If only there were a slight gap and a clear color could be seen. However, the sky did not remove its thick hands to the end.
Albrecht didn't answer, and there was no tree. In this world, there was nothing left to say to Albrecht. If he's still alive.
Albrecht glanced up from the sky and turned to the knight and said,
“Tell them to come here. ”
“Yes.”
The knight leaves, politely answering.
Albrecht relaxes and sits on the right rock nearby. You see hundreds of Veles nobles kneeling before you.
Over 2,000 security guards and guards surrounded them, gazing at them with an indifferent gaze.
They looked at Albrecht with a terrifying look on their faces. Among them was King Henry and Reynald. Rolling his eyes back and forth, he seemed to be looking for a way to live.
Because the enemy had brought all the gasoline, including the family, to the garrison, the prisoners were close to 100,000 civilians in total.
Albrecht's army did not kill anyone before or now, but it was inevitable that the treasure would be taken.
I was making a mess of fences, gathering tens of thousands of nobles and civilians there, all looking like livestock from the slaughterhouse.
They were all looking at Abina's brother, brother, and husband together. The reason we kept them nearby was to prevent the prisoner lords from rebelling.
Albrecht lowers his gaze slightly and thinks with one hand, immediately approaching the many lords who were taken captive by Zigmunt and Louis.
“You've won a great victory to make me forget my father's words. ”
Louis speaks first. Albrecht glances at him and just smiles for a moment.
Sigmund's expression was as cold as ever, but he was very surprised.
I knew Albrecht was a combat genius, but the terrain was overwhelmingly disadvantaged and I didn't expect to crush twice as many enemies and almost never fully destroy them. I couldn't think of a word to say to Louis.
Albrecht rises from his seat, looking over Zigmunt and Lewis. Then I approached the captured lords.
The lords of Velez feel Albrecht's expression as if he were the Demon Lord.
The scar, starting from the chin, through the lips and down the left eye, felt much more terrified.
They finally understood why the Veles who fought in the war in Anglia called Albrecht the Demon King.
Then the world flashed, and thunder came out of the sky.
Grrrrr!
As the sound of the sky being torn apart resounded throughout the world, the lords who were holding frightened breasts instead became colourful. My heart was beating in shock.
Rrrrrrrr!
After the thunder, the sky roars as if a beast was roaring.
The small lord looks like he's about to collapse, even if it's just a matter of time.
The world is dark, thunder strikes in the sky, and Lysen's knights and guards surrounding them feel like fellows from hell. Albrecht was like a golden prince.
At that time, the golden devil opened his mouth and said: Hundreds of people can hear it in their ears, even though it was a loud noise.
“I, for one, am the king of kings, the emperor of the world. ”
Albrecht himself existed, and Orlot became emperor by his own declaration. The hearts of the Knights, including the nearby Randolph, begin to pound.
The lords of Velez simply open their eyes and look at Albrecht. Even though I had heard of the emperor for the first time, the word "king of kings" and "master of the world" crossed my ears.
Even though I was saying such profanity, it sounded like a perfectly natural sound, rather than a rebuttal.
Several lightning strikes the earth this time, and thus the world flashes several times.
The lords foresaw the coming thunder and prepared their minds. However, the thunder was more than I could have imagined.
Blah, blah, blah! Grrr!
Among the lords of Gekko, a man comes out with his ears blocked or his head wrapped around him. I just wanted to get away from this horrific scene for an hour.
“King Henry, come forward. ”
There was no way out. However, one of the guard hurriedly rushes through the lords and enters the crowd, grabbing King Henry's hair and pulling him out roughly.
“Ahh! Now, wait a minute! Okay, I'm out! ”
The knight brings King Henry to Albrecht and throws him to the ground, and he falls to the ground powerlessly.
“Ugh!”
Albrecht looked down at King Henry with clear eyes.
“Do you have any last words? ”
Last thing you want to say? Henri looks up at Albrecht and shouts in a hurry.
“I'll give you a golden cup, flower flower! Ah, no, I'll give my life for the King of Veles or Ile de Velesgan...! ”
In fact, Henry didn't do anything wrong. At Albrecht's request, she sent her sister, and it was Albrecht's administrative neglect that she escaped, not her own.
But the owner of the world didn't need a reason. If Henry did anything wrong, it was that Albrecht was the stone that walked the path. It wasn't even a stone in the way.
I thought Albrecht's arm was white. Henri's neck falls off. You cut it clean and quickly, and there was no blood on the Illudian drawings.
A body without a neck fell down and bled out from the cut. The gust of blood starts to diminish, and momentarily, you feel a tingling sensation.
Henri's head tightens his eyes for a moment, even though it was separated from his body. I opened my mouth as if to say something, but I couldn't say anything. Immediately, the flames of life were extinguished from my eyes.
Grrrrr!
The thunder struck again. The nobles of Veles simply froze with their mouths wide open.
Randolph and Luis, Erbin and Richard were just indifferent to Henri's dead body. A short distance away, Prince Einhard and Prince Alfred simply breathed and watched Albrecht do it.
Albrecht snatches the golden chalice from Henri's neck, lying flat on the floor. I refused to offer it myself, so I killed him and took it.
Albrecht wiped out hundreds of Velez nobles who were on their knees.
“If you have a complaint, speak now. ”
Who will tell the judge that his complaint is insane? It was merely a shock to Albrecht's overwhelming charisma and endless power.
Reynald grunts as if to say something, but is silent. I thought of hundreds or thousands of negotiations to survive, but I knew that if I spoke now, I would die.
“Put it away.”
Albrecht says the two guards cleared Henry's body. The last and most disgraceful of the kings of the realms. All the rich were killed by Albrecht.
“Richard, come forward. ”
Henri's body is removed, and Albrecht calls for Richard. Richard steps forward to Albrecht and kneels to the right where Henry's body was.
Albrecht glances down at Richard with an indifferent gaze.
“Appoint you Duke of Ile de Velez, and at the same time seal you as King of Veles. In honor and duty, you must be faithful to me above and take care of the service and the people below. Do you swear this?”
Ile de Velez was also the name of the capital of the kingdom and the name of the region. Velez could be divided into eight areas, all of which were as big as the north.
The areas Albrecht is currently substantially underfoot were Ile de Velez, Champagne and Burgundy and Berry, which supported Reynolds. It was east and south of Veles.
Picardi is currently in rebellion, and Herman is dealing with him. And Ygraine rebelled against the lords of the north and west of Veles, such as Tednor, Anjou and Blua.
Of course, not all the local lords joined him. Velez has not yet established a stairway system as secure as the Risen Kingdom.
These days, like Zigmunt or Reynolds, there was only a lord, depending on his individual abilities.
The Wiegran was not in fact a lord of such good footing as Zigmunt or Reynald.
I didn't know if I had made a commitment to avenge the war on Anglia purely, or if I had any political plots.
In other words, Richard is Ile de Velez, and the rest of the country should rule as best as they can.
Albrecht will clean up once and for all, but it wasn't easy to control the lords in their own way.
Albrecht slaughtered the nobles of the north to make sure the north was supported, and the middle was cleared by Zigmunt. Velez had to be taken care of by Richard.
Whether the emperor Albrecht was actively utilizing the dense, harsh lords, or cleverly using carrots and whips, it was now all Richard's.
They were all methods with pros and cons. Albrecht's overconfidence makes him look like a vanguard. If he deals with rough lords, he can press them right away, but he makes me react. It's an effective way of making carrots and whips, but it's just an animal that cares about people.
Richard bows his head and pauses for a moment. You dodged the territory again, avenging it and reclaiming it.
From now on, it was living in the present and the future away from the past. It was the second act of my life.
Maybe the second act of life was harder and harder than it had ever been.
During this time, I spent time in Wrightingen as Albrecht's assistant, and saw both the light and the shadow that the king should be in charge of. Among them, there were many things that had to be closed and unsettled.
Richard raises his head and looks at Albrecht, answering heavily.
“I swear.”
Albrecht stares at Richard with a solemn look on his face.
Richard was smart, bold, and brave. I held the pain of the past, but I thought I could distinguish between the construction. Of course, love didn't seem to work out.
It was like the genius of the century compared to the common foolish and ignorant knights and lords of this age.
Albrecht gives the golden cup to Richard without a word. While the imperial ordinance or the imperial ordinance of Veles would have to be separate later, it actually established a relationship between the emperor and the king.
Prior to his reign as King of Lysen, he was in a similar context to what he was called the King in the North.
The substance and form combined would make him a true emperor and king, but blindness was the substance. Formality was of course important, but the world order was first.
Richard carefully accepts the golden cup with both hands. Albrecht gently raises up Richard. Then I looked down at the nobles of Veles, kneeling with him.
The nobles of Veles are confused that the old order is changing. The head, which had been frozen in horror, quickly began to return.
This scene was viewed from a cold perspective by Zigmund. Then Randolph picks up Iliya and shouts to the sky.
“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!”
Then Herbin and the knights drew their swords and shouted aloud.
“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!”
The world flashed and thundered again. The Lords of Reynald and Velez, who were about to become breathless, were overwhelmed by the power of the licensees. Save me, Emperor or Empire. I understand. Please.
Soldiers clearing the battlefield from afar shout aloud as they hear the Knights shout.
“Long live the Emperor! All hail Lord Albrecht! ”
“All hail!”
As the sound of the first emperor's sympathy resounded in history, it finally began to rain heavily.
Albrecht looks up at the sky in the rain. The indifferent sky seemed reluctant to show its blue-face. I soon gave up hope and left.
The Licencians continued to admire the Emperor without being overwhelmed by thunder and rain.
“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!”
