Dragon Poor

199. Destiny (4)

Kim Sun-hyuk secretly looked at a hundred foreigners.

Contrary to his playful attitude, he had a nervous look on their faces. Strangers were very proud that Kim Sun-hyuk might refuse their invitation.

Seeing his desperate appearance, Kim Sun-hyuk sighed.

Until the first discovery, many survivors included foreigners with minor illnesses. However, those who are relatively weak in combat cannot endure the endless violence of the magical creatures, and they all die.

Survivors were only superhumans who woke up from the mid-life illness or the advanced illness.

A hundred foreigners with more power than just plain knights, and the warriors of the Hundred Wars who had passed through the Wasteland, were overwhelmingly steamed by the regular knights who made the apprentice knights seven.

It was definitely a coveted power. But he was also a threat.

Survivors of the western continent were unable to avoid the impersonation of the rebellion. The mark of the rebellion that was once captured was not erased.

The rulers of the continent will be more vigilant and afraid than happy with their power.

I had no choice. Even the most merciful Monarchs, it is natural for those who participate in the rebellion to destroy the three tribes.

How many times has the continent suffered from a summons in the past? The superhuman forces belonging to the kingdoms were significantly degraded due to the damage they suffered, and they have not yet been fully restored.

In that situation, who would take pleasure in the foreigners of the west?

Except Adenberg, at least.

Ofelia's gonna love this.

‘I'm impressed. ’

I can see the young Princess who will already be happy, and she smiles.

“Salary thieves are fired. ”

I remembered the bright smile on the faces of the foreigners who were waiting for his reply with a nervous face.

“Thank you! I'll do my best to be loyal! ”

After suffering from exhaustion and exploitation in the west, it was only until I finally found a place to settle that a hundred foreigners looked down to impress me a few times.

“Well…. ”

Baron Adolf Hotchneck and other members of the Church looked complicated.

It was natural.

Their allegiance and the meaning of their allegiance were never the same.

The attitude of foreigners who say they will be loyal with their mouths, but never kneel down, and Kim Sun-hyuk's attitude to meet the standards, rather than rebuke them, will be hard for them to understand.

No, perhaps they think it's a mild act, like the impure hordes that waged the unseen flag of democracy and caused revolt.

But it was a good thing for Kim Sun-hyuk.

To show hesitation here was like making the estramorwn who barely held the last hope in their hands nervous.

For those who have endured many years of abuse, what they needed was a fence they could rely on. And he was willing to be one of them.

“The king of Adenberg, the rightful ruler and head of the royal family of Adesden, Theodore Tiberius, who appointed King of Adesden as his rightful ruler, gave me a seat of honor earlier. ”

The moment his will rose, his tone changed. His sarcastic tone lifts the laughter out of his mouth, and his presence starts to dominate everywhere as he climbs on his courage.

Good boy.

The knights of the expedition, who were watching the situation in a somewhat arrogant posture, were overwhelmed by its majesty and fell to their knees without my knowledge.

“And I am here today to exercise the authority of the ball granted by the regent, for the first time. ”

Strangers who were impressed and delighted were also overwhelmed by his presence, instinctively straightening their posture.

“Kneel down. ”

Without even realizing it, he was relying on words and they became words.

“And pledge allegiance. ”

I pledge allegiance to the estramorwn who kneel before me.

“I, Duke of Legends and Lord of the Rhinepearls, Sunghyuk Lin Pearl Kim Drahon, hereby bestow upon you the title of knight by royal authority. ”

The Gentiles looked down again without a word, and Kim Sun-hyuk declared, looking down at them.

“As long as you remember the value of the oath, I will always be your fence. ”

* *

“As long as you remember the value of the oath, I will always be your fence. ”

Lee Su-hyuk insisted, and the foreigners from the expedition, including the Giant Swordsman, sent him a message.

“Hey, when did the commander say that? ”

“It's the same with the lines! Dignity is different! Dignity! ”

Despite the teammates' provocation, Lee Soo-hyuk was excited.

“Anyway, that really creeped me out. I still haven't let the chicken die down. ”

Not just saying that, but Lee Soo-hyuk's arm saying that, there was voodoo chicken on it.

“It's pretty cool. ”

Strangers were once again amazed at the knighthood ceremony they had just seen.

Although it was not a gorgeous and clean environment like the formal ceremony prepared over the weeks, its solemnity and majesty were no less than that of the royal household.

“I will be your fence. Kyaah. This is what I would do if I did it, but the commander... ”

The sight of the knights in heavy armor and a hundred strangers on their knees and looking at only one person was truly a spectacle they would never see again.

“Ah. It gives me goose bumps when I think about it. ”

They were genuinely admired by Kim Sun-hyuk's magnificence that even the award ceremony of the title would seem to be a shameful thing for them to pass from the modern world.

“Is that why you're a duke? ”

I didn't know if it was a person or a person, so I didn't know if it was a person. It was only important that Kim Sun-hyuk did not seem to lack any place in the Duke with the idle name of a legend.

“Ha. I envy you. I wonder how good it would be for us to be knighted on Line Pearl. ”

“You said you never wished to stand in the battlefield together, but you're sly. ”

Strangers, including Lee Su-hyuk, felt even jealous of the Western foreigners who received the title of knight from Kim Sun-hyuk.

It was not for those who received the position in the royal court to say, but I was envious.

“Well, it's not like there's no way. ”

A word from someone changed the mood of the strangers. It later dawned on me why they applied for war in this far-off country.

“Let's start with the ball. After the settlement, we're free, too. ”

* *

“Winner. Diplomatic problems may arise. ”

Baron Adolf Hotzneck was an unusual man.

“It is likely that we do not deserve our kingdom to accept them from the surrounding countries. ”

“Well…. ”

If this aristocratic knight had at least the slightest hint of concern for the royal power to expand, Kim Sun-hyuk would have pressed firmly with authority and power.

However, there was little compassion in Adam Hotchneck's face. It seemed to him that this middle-aged knight was genuinely concerned about the future of the kingdom.

Perhaps this is what the royal family of Adesden wanted, which made all sorts of noble knights serve in the Central Knights.

Adolf Hotzneck was a knight and a bureaucratic figure.

“I don't want to get rid of those who have already accepted it. Just take back what you said about returning them to the kingdom first. ”

The middle-aged knight suggested that they stay in the west and give themselves a chance to wash away their mistakes and mitigate the repudiation of other kingdoms.

It was reasonable. It was a moment to learn why Ofelia chose Adolf Hotzneck as the leader of the expedition.

But just because it was rational wasn't necessarily the best choice.

Adolf Hotzneck was wise, but had no war experience. In the head of a theoretical knight, he had no experience of how long a war would expose soldiers to the terrible consumption of mental power.

And Kim Sun-hyuk saw that the survivors had been persecuted by Western nobles for too long. He also had to fight on the Demon King's land for far too long.

He decided that rest was desperate, apart from the survivors' strength and will, so he had no intention of leaving them on the front lines.

“There is no turning back to the plan. ”

“Winner... ”

Adolf Hotchneck once again tries to persuade him of his determined attitude. But Kim Sun-hyuk was a major floater.

“If the other kingdoms complained about Adenberg and pulled some kind of stunt, maybe it's because their flock is truly impure. Or is it because we're worried about adding more than a hundred seconds of power to Adenberg? ”

Of course it was the latter.

“They don't deserve another big leap forward for Adenberg. I'm gonna try and squeeze some of those bellies off my feet. Am I wrong? ”

The middle-aged knight nods.

“That's because our kingdom is still worth it. ”

You fought an overwhelming battle against Nochtein, called the Eastern Wolf, and dug knights in the skies of Griffindor's pride. However, this did not mean that Adenberg was actually more powerful than any other kingdom.

He gained the upper hand, but he was rebuffed by the surrounding countries. It was more likely that the deterrent would change more prominently.

“But you know what? ”

Despite knowing this fact, I did not see any worries on Kim Sun-hyuk's face.

“What if Adenberg is no longer viable? ”

“What do you mean... ”

Adolf Hotzneck looks like he doesn't understand what he's saying.

“I intend to absorb all survivors from the west and send them to Adenberg. ”

If it was a hundred more to be wary of, it was enough to add more power to make them afraid.

“But…. ”

He expressed concern that Adolf Hotznec, who later understood his intentions, would receive even more deterrence to the extent that he recruited the number of estramorwn who had gone astray.

He was right.

However, there was a fact that the late expedition did not know. Kim Sun-hyuk made a deal with the Queishas.

If we successfully relocate Mother's Tree Sapling to the land of Adenberg, many fairies with more power than a higher knight will stay in Adenberg.

And by then, the fairies will have no hesitation to become his powerful friends.

Kim Sun-hyuk announced the plan to the Ades' court. The expedition included a high level wizard for contact, and it also had enough contact stones.

[You always give the royal court a headache.]

After hearing all the explanations, Ofelia sighed. However, unlike what they said, they were happy to join thousands of superhumans.

[But it's worth it.]

Ofelia expects the continent to change completely after the terrible war in the middle. And then Adenberg decided that he needed more power to stay the way he is.

[The kingdom supports you as it has always been. Thou shalt not be swayed by the pressures of those around thee, nor indulge in them.]

Naturally, he was willing to support his plan, which could be considered a bit excessive.

[But you won't listen to me.]

It was the same tone as usual, but Kim Sun-hyuk could tell.

Ofelia is angry now.

“Ah…. ”

Then Kim Sun-hyuk, who remembered how the last communication ended, later looked hot.

[Clearly you're not alone in the middle, but you still act like you're the only one.]

Apparently, someone told me about his behavior when he went deep into the Demon King's land alone.

[You are not a hero.]

It was neither mocking nor criticizing. It was just a word to ease the burden. Kim Sun-hyuk smiled unknowingly at the attitude of Ofelia who cares deeply even when he's angry.

“I'll keep that in mind.”

However, that relaxed attitude further angered Ophelia.

[Your words and actions make no sense at all. If you had listened to me, you would have refused the favor of that fairy.]

Kim Sun-hyuk, who seemed to care about Najma secretly, took out the words he had prepared in a hurry.

“But even if it's not bringing Queisha power into Adenberg, doing them a favor is essential. ”

[Explain.]

After expressing his feelings for a moment, Ofelia quickly returned to her usual state of mind as he became serious.

With a sigh of relief in his mind, he looks to the Wizard, who is the magical subject of communication that stops as he continues to speak.

[He is trustworthy. So don't hesitate.]

Ophelia, who knew why Kim Sun-hyuk hesitated, guaranteed the Wizard's identity. He said, only to ease his worries.

“Queishas tend to outlive humans. And it's not just because they were the blood of spirits. ”

I learned something unexpected while talking with the Queishas to cure the Contaminated Dragon.

“The secret to keeping them young for so long is that they received the blessing of the Mother Tree. ”

It may seem a bit sudden, but Ophelia quickly guessed what he was going to say.

[No way...]

“As I expected, the Queisha may be able to solve the King's problem. ”
