Honj waves down a stupid big axe. In one swing, the surrounding enemy soldiers break flesh and bones unbroken and desperate.

And when the path opens, we storm many of our enemies.

He's a real battle maniac (Battle Junkie).

But Honj makes it easier than I thought, so I'm not stopping Honj.

Drop this town and you'll have all the Bridgild area in your hands.

This Brigid area is a vast area on the south side of the Kilpath River. The land is also fertile and ridiculously rich compared to the Hon Kingdom.

Even the population will be several dozen times more than the Kingdom of Hong Kong, so consolidating the ground on this land and going further south will be the goal for the future.

The Kingdom of Holy Bandam is marching to Crist. Azibasda with the impetus to crush St. Orion, but I will crush the rotten outsiders of St. Orion in this land.

Doing this will attract the St. Orion population south of the Kilpath River, or alert them and make them consolidate their defenses.

This was requested in advance by the Duke of Brute Ease. I decided to take that request because it would be beneficial for me too.

The national territory of St. Orion is vast. It's huge.

It is divided between north and south across the Kilpas River, but the population is large on the north side and smaller on the south side.

Still, the population of the south amounts to millions, and the land is vaster in the south than in the north.

And the Kingdom of Saint Bandam has cut north over the Kilpas River, and the south has no hands on the southern hinterland just to proceed to contain the harbour along the Kilpas River.

I mean, the hinterland is untouched, so you can cut it all you want depending on my strength.

It's not like there's just no problem.

Whatever you say, religion governs people in spiritual terms, so the challenge is how to govern this land where Orion is rooted. It's just... the resistance of the people has diminished since that dream was about Angel convicting the Saint Orion soldiers.

That dream must have been a shock to the faithful, as Angel is worshipped as God's Messenger as a very sacred species in Orion.

Besides, then I dreamed again, and it looks like I'm away from Orion because the holy sword of the brave men of St. Orion has broken the hearts of many people as well.

"We're done sweeping."

"Yeah, but that's not the end of it. A vast area of land awaits us further south than this Brigid region, Honduras."

"Looking forward to seeing what strong enemies you have."

"You're the same."

"Ho, ho, ho"

Don't laugh in a weird way.

A few days later, until now, it was us who ruled the land with thousands of inhabitants, so it's good to have acquired a vast area of Brigid, but it's struggling to govern.

It's hard to grasp the population because there's not even a proper resident ledger, really St. Orion is not a busy country.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The royal family sent deputies for the Brigild area.

The royal family, who was negative about joining the war, has spoken out for the rule of this vast land.

I'm kidding, though you guys wouldn't be doing anything!

I've made up my mind, I will build my kingdom independently on this land!

"Lord Lee, what did you fall asleep for!?

"I fell asleep! That's you!

I scowled and yelled at the man sent as deputy. He freaks out and backwards.

"Where did you ignore the request to join the war while keeping your alliance with the Kingdom of Holy Bandham?

"Oh, that's..."

"Who cut this Brigid area to fulfill his covenant with the Kingdom of Holy Bandham?

"Lord Ri, Lee..."

"Who covered that war cost, all the personnel?

"... is Lord Lee"

"So, what did you say to me?

……

I threw out my self-proclaimed deputy and soon thereafter declared my independence from the Kingdom of Hon.

I think I acted fast because I had decided that my country would be independent if it came to that fuzzy thing.

In the meantime, my country has set up a messenger several times and told me to be respectful, but I drove it all back.

But the Kingdom of Hong Kong cannot conduct military operations or anything else.

I don't give magic items to those people who questioned the effects of the demon-free magic items I received from Lord Brute Ease, and I have them, so I can't go to Japan to crusade me with nothing but a fight against demons.

Even if the Hon Kingdom sends out soldiers, I'll pay them back.

The first thing I did to rule this Brigild area was to free the beasts, elves, dwarves and other people who had been unfairly enslaved.

My tensions are already skyrocketing because the residents of the Hon Kingdom are mostly humans so I didn't see other races such as beasts and elves first.

From now on, my time! And to say it's my time...... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha, ha, ha, hey, calm down, me!

This emancipation policy has allowed me to gain a lot of strength. I'm too suspicious to be an Orion human to be an immediate subordinate.

Ex-slaves, who were exhausted at first, were also able to feed and rest well enough to be trained by the military these days.

The content is pretty harsh because that honju does the training, but they still seem to think it's better than going back to slavery again. They eat their teeth and endure the training.

Until the force was ready, territorial expansion would be difficult, so for a while it was decided to concentrate on internal affairs.

The money came from the fanatics. Oh, Gohon, I collected it, so it's in the luxury. Now I'm going to expand my armament.

That's why I asked Lord Brute Ease for assistance by approving (approving) the letter.

Then what an immediate response. Swords, spears, armor and food were delivered. It's a lot.

Whatever happens, I'm not gonna make a difference with Lord Brute Ease, I thought.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

It's been quite a few months since then.

The march of the Kingdom of Holy Bandham will also be well under way and will soon besiege the church capital of St. Orion, Christ Azibasda.

I was busy intercepting the Saint Orion National Army from the south, not just internal affairs.

But thanks to this, the resistance of the St. Orion nation is almost gone and the internal affairs are quite well.

This will be close to the day we go south.

Honj remains keen to train his soldiers, and these days the beasts and elves, who were former slaves, have also lost their expression. And I guess I'm eating well too, my muscles have been lying about my previous skinny body shape.

Well, they'll definitely be good at training Honduras. I hope one day the day will come by their hand to annihilate the St. Orion nation, but this land will be difficult because it is a long way from St. Azibasda.

It's already an immediate year old, but it won't snow in this land.

Let's get our minds together to the end so we can look back on what a good year this has been.
