“I declare myself as one of the Twenty-Two Faithful in Eden. Lord Protect is the true king of Casar, chosen by the gods! ”

Scared and shocked, the nobles hit their heads.

Even the lazy nobles had an idea of digging into the brain late, no matter what had happened. The reason Arc locked up the Shrine and pretended that the Shrine didn't exist in Casar was because he was a legitimate king.

“I'll make it clear now. ”

The guard stood up and said,

“A young and talented king like Arch went mad and massacred his people in an instant. Casar, the great nation that once ruled the continent, was destined to wait for destruction without defeating Abyss. Why do you think this is happening? Yes. We were off to the most basic premise. The king who had not received divine revelation was ruling the kingdom. ”

“…… I can't do that! ”

For the people of Eden, "God" was absolute. He did not worship God, but believed in his existence, and was reluctant to disobey God's set doctrine. In the everyday life of the people of the continent, this spiritual culture was deeply rooted, so the king who was guaranteed by the High Septon gained the enthusiastic support of the people and gained ‘authenticity’.

“Then is Arc's madness a curse from God? ”

“…… I had no idea! I can't believe you had such a hidden background! ”

The nobles grumbled.

And among the nobles, some well-oiled realities faced various interests rather than "God." Arc's death, the appearance of the shrine Arc had imprisoned, and his shrine acknowledged him as the true king.

Excellent.

‘God's will.’ Who better to convince the people than this? For these nobles, it didn't matter whether or not God really chose protection. To protect their lives and property, it was more important to find ways to stabilize the situation.

Protect the horse.

“I was really embarrassed when I heard the truth from the Finance Minister here. But I've made my decision. If it is God's will that I ascend to the throne of the cursed king, I will not escape his fate. Even if it means killing your best friend! ”

The guard looks around the weight and raises his voice.

“Casar is in more danger than ever because of the foreign invasion and the tyranny of the Mad King! But now the blessing of God is upon us. What are you afraid of? We are Caesar!”

The last words engulfed the hearts of the nobles. Yes. Since when did Casar, the greatest nation, become obsessed with Abyss, the underlying country of drifters? In fact, it was a matter of pride.

The guard lifts the sword overhead.

“It's not too late! Come with me! Together we shall restore the glory of Caesar! ”

Wait.All the nobles and knights pulled their swords together and put them in front of their hearts.

The birth of a new king.

*

Rod, who was sleeping comfortably in the gateway room at the garrison, opened his eyes to the notification in the commander's window.

He rubs his eyes and removes the blanket.

‘…… What's this in the middle of the night? Where were they destroyed? ’

In a lying position, the expression of Lord Lord pressing his finger against the commander's spear froze instantly.

‘...... Arc is dead? ’

The rod's eyes move downward.

‘... If it's protection, it's Casar's Master Knight! What is this? ’

The road that rises from the bed opens the window wide. I had to check this out quickly.

'Activate Bandegas' eyes. '

Bandegas' Eye, an Abyss player's spear skill, was a technique that could be viewed remotely anywhere on the continent, although it had a long reuse time.

As you activate the commander's spear, an enormous amount of magical power gathers in one eye. And shortly after, Lord opened his eyes again. My body trembles with a tingling sensation.

‘I can't get used to it a few times. ’

Like a god looking down at the earth from the sky, everything in Empire is looking down.

Rod used the Zoom feature to scour the territory. In the middle of the night, the streets are full of settlers. The Confused Territories and the armed forces surrounding the royal palace.

‘You're right.'

Rod pulls out of Vandegas' eyes and closes the commander's window with a hollow smile. Then I lay back in bed.

‘... Farewell, arc. ’

In the end, betrayal in this world was an unfortunate fate.

Rod stares at you with his palms spread and thinks. You drove the enemy lord mad and had his men kill him. In my view, I was the best at what I did as a counselor, but I didn't feel good. But he was an admirer once.

But in this world, we met enemies. That's all. Arc also plotted to put Lord on death row.

The weaker side just goes down.

‘... Please live well in your world...' ’

Lord mourns in his mind, then slowly decides on his strategy. I had to make changes to my future plans.

Now there is no need to hesitate. If Arc were alive, he would have waited a little longer, but a new royal family centers on protection. The answer was to strike first before gathering.

The Destruction Bonus is still in Casar, so the effect of the Commander's spear and the national unique abilities will still apply, but the difference between having and not having players is significant.

I pushed him to the edge of the cliff. It was time to launch an attack on Empire, Casar's final gate.

*

As soon as the sun was up, the protection moved quickly.

First of all, he declared himself the true king of Casar by divine revelation to the people and the entire continent and ascended the throne himself.

Then I went out to the palace and gave a speech in front of a large group of colonists. The colonists, who were terrified by the tyranny of the arc, gave a shout of encouragement when they heard that there was a king who had been "chosen by the gods." The reputation of the master knight's protection was also very good, so there was no reason to hesitate. Whatever it is, at least today is better than yesterday.

Protect did not emphasize its authenticity as king in this speech. Instead, you chant Casar's glorious history in a powerful voice. From the little to the old, everyone was greatly impressed and yelled. Even if it wasn't a knight, the people of the territory took great pride in being Casar's people. After the protective speech, they raised their arms high with tears of inspiration.

“To Casar! ”

It was a new awakening since the Dark Ages. I vowed to fight with all my heart to restore the honor of Caesar. It was enormous.

Protect put the Shrine back in the crown jewel, and the next Master Knight made him Aaron Dye. A new kingdom was about to rise again.

“…… I can't go back now. ”

The guard mutters.

The place used to be Arc's office was now occupied by protection. You look down at the ground. There are no marks left, but just days ago, the head of the arc you dropped was rolling.

The templars insisted on relocating the king's office, but the guard decided to continue using it. To avoid feeling overwhelmed by guilt.

“Your majesty, I am very grateful for your decision. ”

The bystander sitting across from me said,

“Your loyalty to your country is a true patriot. ”

“... Phew. ”

The guard sighs as if thrown out.

“But I eventually deceived all the people. The one chosen by God was Arc, and all these excuses were lies to raise morale. ”

“But isn't that something you have to do? The gods will also nod their heads at the decision of the Lord. ”

The guard looks at the Praetor.

“Are you sure you're okay? Even if the High Septon is lying. ”

“My heart aches too, but everything is for the greater good. Your Majesty."

“…… I see. ”

Then I heard a knock on the door outside. The guard told me to come in.

“Hello, Your Majesty. ”

“You still are, Lord Aaron Dyte. ”

A master knight, Aaron Dyte was dressed in a gorgeous cape on his armor.

“I'm here to introduce you to a new power source. ”

“Oh, come on in. ”

Knights in spectacular blue armor come into the office and bow their heads.

“Founded by the Wave Knights this time."

The Wave Knights of the King were specialized in the Cultural Era of the spleen prepared by Arc. All of them have mastered the ‘Wave Sword’, considered to be the next generation of swords. Wave swords that are more focused on magical emissions than simple swords are so devastating that they undermine the system of existing knights. It was a great intention that the advancement of the sword allowed only geniuses like Percival to train wave swordsmen.

The Wave Knights were not ready at the beginning of the Abyss, when Casar had just entered the Cultural Age, and were ready at the recent Gateway, but were waiting for him at Empire. They are now the direct line of protection.

‘I originally wanted to make it a personal knight of Percival.... I can't help it. ’

However, the protection was a little relieved to see the strong appearance of the Wave Knights. Aaron Adite also explained with a excited face.

“The quality of Elite Soldiers is overwhelming by their joining forces. It won't be as easy as the gate. ”

“I see. I have high hopes for you, too. ”

“Your Majesty! ”

Protect said a few more words to the Wave Knights before backing off.

When there were only three of them left, the Guardian, the Praetor and the Aaron Diet, the Guard slowly told the story.

“Have you been to Lily's? ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. I'm on my way to the dungeon. ”

“What did he say?”

Aaron Dye shakes his head.

“I was completely blown away by the news that Arc was dead. She was stunned. She didn't say anything. ”

The guard sighs.

“…… I see. ”

She would be relieved if she could lend her strength to the new Casar. If there was an officer in the cabin, an athlete in battle, and Lily in the military, there was some royal distinction.

“But that's okay. The former royal family also started with me and the arc. If you start building a country, you'll see some of the best talent like Percival. ”

“Yes.”

“You are absolutely right. Your Majesty."

The two nod.

“How's the castle defenses going? ”

“Of course!”

“Things aren't good, but we just need to overcome this crisis. The nobles of other provinces, Glaciers, and the people of Carfri are watching over us. If we can stop Abyss' attack here, we can regroup under Casar's banner. ”

The guard's gaze is towards the gateway beyond the window.

It's a decision I've made with so many sacrifices. If we can't protect Casar, we won't see them in the afterlife.

Defend it.

@ Niallatothep/Not a bad idea blah blah blah Not the king but the rebels

@ Kulera/Aha, I see. I'm not saying I have to put it in, I'm saying it sounds really persuasive! The authenticity of protection, in the book, is powered by the credentials of the neocortex, which have a strong influence on the continent. Moreover, because the arc is so fierce, it can be compared, and because it is a crisis threatened by Abyss, it will also be aligned with the interests of the nobles who want peace and ascend to the throne. But it's true that there's no more authenticity than the credentials of a good eunuch. If Casar survives after the war, I think the verification of the king's protection will begin.

@... (-1).../Guard Assassination Theory! Arc was assassinated in some way, so maybe protection is the same thing.
