Dragon Poor

The seasoned monarch of Iberia went to work to inform the entire continent of the duality and prevalence of the Church immediately. But the church moved one step faster than that.

‘The Viceroy conspired with the Demon King to endanger the warrior. ’

‘In the process, the Archbishop of the Church was killed, and the Sword was stolen. ’

A short specialist spread all over and the continent turned upside down.

The corruption of the continent's hero, who announced the fall of the west and put a great deal of work into alerting the central kingdoms to the Demon King, was enough to confuse people.

“This can't be happening! ”

Of course, there were those who expressed their disbelief in this incredible news. They strongly disagreed with the Western Demon King because he was a companion of the newly born empress of Adenberg, whose title and reputation were not lacking.

“How many survivors in the West did the Grand Duke save with his life?" How many others on the front line were saved by the Grand Duke? I can't believe that kind of hero conspired with the Demon King. ”

The heroic and dedicated walk of the Grand Duke supported their words.

“The victorious Grand Duke's dragon was already blackened. In front of me, a dragon tried to chew the Archbishop of the Church, and the Archbishop was killed by a victorious Grand Duke. ”

However, when witnesses stepped forward and testified to the hero's corruption, those who supported the monarchy and watched for a moment had to shrink their voices.

“There is more to Margie's horror than meets the eye, so let's not forget how the eroded Magi have changed. ”

“It's not unusual for Margie to erode after she has been a victorious duke who has fought in the western lands for a long time. ”

“Unfortunately, because he was more dedicated and just than anyone else, he was eventually corrupted. ”

The rumors that spread in time were quite reasonable.

The Grand Duke spent more time in the West than anyone else, and it was clear that Magi had been exposed for that long.

Moreover, after testifying to the Grand Duke's corruption, their identities were not unusual. Each one of them was a group of commanders, and each one of them was an accomplished figure in the war against the Demon King.

They swore a dozen times that they saw the Grand Duke murder the Archbishop and flee with the Sword in their honor and faith.

That wasn't the end.

“The Grand Duke was not as great and just as rumored. A dedicated knight who doesn't spare his body.How can I just watch an ally die in a safe airspace? ”

“I left my successor, but I've seen the Grand Duke assault many times in the past. In light of what happened back then, unlike the rumors, there are doubts that the relationship between the warrior and the monarch has been wrong for a long time. ”

A bad rumor spread about the Grand Duke as if he had waited.

Soldiers claiming to have been on the battlefield with the Grand Duke appeared, testified that the Grand Duke was not a righteous man like the rumors, and created all kinds of rumors about the atmosphere.

“Wrapped in the light of the Empire, the Grand Duke is nothing but a murderer. The number of soldiers and knights slaughtered by him cannot be counted. It is absurd to think that such a monarch is a merciful and dedicated hero. He's a murderer and a war buff. ”

There was no longer an atmosphere that was enthusiastic about the heroic walk of the former Grand Duke and did not hesitate to call him the continent's greatest hero.

In all sorts of forgeries and rumors, the Grand Duke was chosen as a fake hero created by the Duke of Shenzhen of the Adenberg Empire.

“Anyone who hides or holds a monarch as a traitor will be treated as hostile to the Church and paid a great price. Conversely, if anyone informs us of where the Grand Duke is, or leads the new recruit to the church, we promise a great reward in the name of the church. ”

It was a long war with the Demon King that consumed a lot of power, but its influence has been at its peak since its inception. It was natural for the leaders of the central kingdom to be filled with people of all kindred spirits during the war.

Such characters were leaning forward, looking for the Grand Duke's whereabouts, and the whole center seemed to be in the blood to catch the Grand Duke.

But even in that hostile and blinded atmosphere, some still expressed their disbelief in the monarchy's corruption.

It was the men and women of the battlefield who had actually fought alongside the monarchs who had fallen under the tyranny of the Church. They don't believe a word of vain gossip, and they suspect there may be a hidden lining.

I was just taking care of myself because I didn't know what the lining was.

But their silence was not long.

“The alliance with the Demon King is not with the Grand Duke, but with the Church. They made a deal with the Demon King to stop the Liquor of Warriors, and blasphemy denounced the owner of the Sword of God. ”

Iberia denies the insistence of the Church.

“The Grand Duke was asked by the Church to cooperate in the search for a warrior, and headed west to look for a warrior alone thousands of kilometers away. And in the process, he struggled with the Demon King, who was dug a trap and was waiting for him, and was wounded unwashable. ”

Once again, the continent has turned upside down. The patrons of the late Duke who had remained silent came forward and questioned the insistence of the Church.

However, the opinion of the once hostile was not easily changed, and the Central Cultists listened to nothing but the words of the church. For them, the Grand Duke was already a traitor to the Demon King.

Even Iberian fanatics considered themselves traitors to the Demon King. Compared to such fanatics, few people questioned rationally or expressed concern about the conduct of the church.

There was a commotion, but in the end, the middle seemed to mark the Grand Duke as a traitor. At least not until Iberia turns over another barrel of magic.

“The Grand Duke is a hero. You announced the fall of the West for the first time, and made a great accomplishment alone in the rescue of survivors that no one had attempted. And finally, the Grand Duke succeeded in exterminating the Demon King and eliminating the Seed of Evil. Selling such a victorious Grand Duke is an anti-human procedure, and it is extremely ungrateful. ”

Another poll turned upside down after news that the Viceroy had eliminated the Demon King. Of course, he did not look at it quietly.

They say the Demon King's absence is due to the struggle against the warriors, and they push Iberian claims with an ingenious specialty snatch.

Continuing with the shocking allegations, people blamed the Grand Duke for his understanding and belief, but they were completely unaware of what was true.

Meanwhile, the Church moves the central kingdoms. The imperial troops who were on the border with Iberia immediately threatened Iberia by the Great South.

“Iberia will lay down its life to defend the monarch who built a great deal of peace on the continent. ”

Iberia does not budge. It was the same in Iberia that prepared for war while the public opinion was overturned several times.

“There is a Grand Duke in Granado, Iberia. ”

During that bold response, people learned that Iberia was protecting the Grand Duke.

“Thank you for coming. ”

The hero we met again was so different from what he looked like in his memory. Looking at that pale face, John felt like a hot mirror was rising from his heart.

“I couldn't help but overhear them. ”

A great knight who has not lost his majesty among many magical objects. However, this was not different from the appearance of patients who were all dying from the disease.

But that's all because of those damn heathens.

John tightly gripped the spear that had been fast-forwarded and scorched with fierce hostility. Turning around, other refugee men, as well as themselves, looked the same.

Those who had never fought with their spears properly in their lives look fierce as a soldier who had gone through the entire battle before.

Perhaps it was because of the debt to the great Savior who had finally been turned away from bringing them out of despair. I realized it was too late because all I knew how to do was argue that I wouldn't take a small piece of bread in my hand.

Still, I'm glad we were able to help, John was grateful.

“Thank you enough for your heart. ”

The Grand Duke once again thanked me. John and the men didn't even look up because it was so frustrating.

“I'm so sorry about that. And thank you."

I turned back, looking at his back and expressing my gratitude in a small voice. I didn't even know if he heard it.

Be volatile.

I just looked down again and again, looking at the unshakeable gesture of hands shaking without turning my back.

The Grand Duke of Iberia did not understand why the Grand Duke had so determined his position that he focused on the interests of the church.

But it was all for a reason.

News of the Grand Duke's arrival in Iberia has only just begun to spread.

One of them was a refugee named John, who had just come to visit.

Dozens of Western refugees who came bearing crude spears who didn't know where they had come from wanted Gear to surrender to the Iberian army, even though they were afraid of war.

There were already hundreds of such refugee volunteers.

“Huh. Grand Duke, what a figure you are.... ”

The Grand Duke of Iberia was truly impressed with the Grand Duke. I had known that I had built countless balls for the continent, but when people who knew the dangers and came to visit the continent, I was even admired.

Since then, countless people have gathered.

The only thing they had in common was that they owed their lives to the previous Grand Duke and now they want to repay their debts.

Of course, they were not actually a big help to the power.

Even if thousands of refugee soldiers were gathered, I wondered if I could handle a couple of infantry troops from different kingdoms.

But as they joined forces, Iberian morale soared to the ends of the sky. The suspicions about the monarchs that had sprung from propaganda and forgery have been cleared away.

It was possible for refugees without what they had.

Even the lowest refugees could not be as sinister as rumor has it, a man with enough manpower to risk my life and gather there.

“If the Grand Duke hadn't stepped up, we'd all be dead. Can you imagine the reign of the victorious Grand Duke who stood alone in that hellhole to stop the Demon King? ”

“None of the nobles of the Middle Kingdom are merciful enough to carry a worm like us into battle. Even the lords abandoned us to block the wire, and he stood up and protected us. ”

Through the mouths of refugees, the heroic walk and sacrifice of the Grand Duke spread. And in their story, the Grand Duke himself was a glorious hero just before the propaganda and forgery of the Church were corrupted.

There was no longer any doubt that the Church, Iberia, or anyone's words were true. Hundreds of witnesses have been talking about the righteousness of the Grand Duke all day long.

“That's a relief. ”

The mercenaries who were hesitant about being branded as fighting for the devil accepted the deal with Iberia.

So the mercenaries who signed the contract left Granado for the fortress at the border.

However, there was still not enough troops.

As many of the central kingdoms had already agreed to help the country, the absolute heat of the troops could not be easily overcome. It was an overwhelming gap that could not be filled with mercenaries hired through vast wealth.

A large fleet of reinforcements have departed immediately from the mainland of the Adenberg Empire, but it will take time for them to return with reinforcements. Preparing for war wasn't just a day or two.

However, the Grand Duke was so relaxed.

“If things get urgent, you're not the only one willing to pull yourself out. ”

The Grand Duke thought it was impossible, but the situation was so urgent that he asked me in a standing tone without even knowing it. Despite the circumstance, the still silent empires and the eastern kingdoms were also agitated.

“I try to keep what I say as much as possible. ”

The illness was pale because the injury had not yet healed, but I felt an unknown power in the Grand Duke's voice.

“I'm sorry. I made a statement because I was nervous. I know the Grand Duke is not like that. ”

The Grand Duke of Iberia apologized for his late mistake.

“I understand. You must think I'm holding out too much. ”

The Grand Duke accepted the apology.

“If not, it's time to come. ”

An urgent specialist flew in from the fortress on the border even before he understood the unknown meaning.

“Only 20,000 Northern Cavalries have breached the siege of the central kingdoms at the border and reached the border fortress! ”

“What! Why are they suddenly! ”

The messenger leaping in with his expertise shouts in an excited voice.

“20,000 North Cavalry! You've expressed your willingness to help! ”

Surprised, the Grand Duke of Iberia looks at the victorious Grand Duke. The Grand Duke looked so naturally as if he knew they were coming.

“The great chieftain of the North, Dawland and his cavalry are my brothers whom I spoke of. ”

Another messenger finds the Grand Duke of Iberia before the first messenger leaves.

“The Alliance of the Eastern Kingdoms, which were dispatched for support, has been hiding behind the front lines as a whole! ”

And shortly thereafter, the entire Adenburg empire flew to Granado.

[Iberia is not alone.]
