Hero without Blood or Tear

Pushing and pulling is always important.

When it happens between men and women, we call it love, and when it happens between political groups, we call it diplomacy.

I pushed and pulled with the Emperor of the Empire to get what I wanted.

“General Tilly, I'm going into Vienna. ”

Dare to march to Vienna, the heart of the empire, with an army of 25,000. The whole empire was shaken by this.

One Empress raised an army to intimidate the Emperor. It was a reaction that the Empire had finally reached its destination.

That doesn't mean there's a lot of blame against me. It is because few of the Empire's Emperors have any respect for the Emperor. Only the Emperor's Faction makes a loud noise.

First of all, Hessen-Kazel's commander Morritz has sent a warning. He is under orders to raise an army to take Wurzburg. I'm the only one who can stand up to me.

“Would you please refrain from misunderstanding the Empire? ”

I laughed at the letter the messenger brought.

“I came to seek His Majesty's command, which is suffering from the Holy Ghost King's army. The governor misunderstood my intentions. ”

I lied to the Apostle without spitting on my mouth. As he gets bold, he seems to be speechless for a moment.

“Hmmm! How can you not know your loyalty? One is misleading behavior. ”

“A misunderstanding?”

“The President should not be discouraged. ”

You're coming out pretty hard. The owner of Hessen-Kazel's Battalion Morritz wants to be named a hero, so the Apostles are tough.

But I've dealt with many more than that. I threw the letter into the mud.

“No! What a diplomatic document! ”

“Tsk!”

You even drooled? The messenger trembles in fury as he tramples on them with his boots.

“Go and tell your master. Do whatever you want."

“You will regret this! Mr. President!"

Instead of answering, the messenger draws his pistol and shoots him in the leg.

Taang!

The envoy jumps up and down as the bullet hits his feet.

“You'd better go back while it's still alive. ”

He turns away in horror, but as he falls and rolls in the mud, our soldiers chuckle.

I didn't give a damn about Hessen-Kazelle. He was bluffing at everything he said to me because he had to go to the Emperor's office.

“How dare you. ”

I took a light warning and continued east along the Donau River. The nearby lords were amazed at our troops and stood up on their own.

“Your Excellency, this is a tribute to you from our Bells. ”

“Mr. President, I want to help you on your journey in Amsterdam.... ”

“Mr. President, the city council in Steyr would like to support you with grain... ”

In the meantime, a diplomatic envoy has been busy between Bin and us. Last minute negotiations left diplomats speechless.

When we finally arrived in Melk, a city just 50 kilometers away from Vienna, the emperor put himself in a situation where he had to make a choice.

An ally sits at Melk's Monastery School and waits for the Emperor's envoy.

“Here we go. ”

As I was forking a dry dinner served by the monastery, a special envoy from the emperor arrived, as I expected.

“Your Excellency. ”

“Do you have some good news? ”

“Your Majesty has been most forgiving. ”

Not generosity, but tearful concessions.

“Tell me.”

“Yes, Your Majesty, you have placed him on the throne of Duke Vitenweir-Basel. ”

“Again?"

He sweated as if he was under considerable pressure from another horse.

“The title of the Imperial official has also been approved. However, the Bible says that jobs in the North are difficult. The Northern Emperors are opposed, so if you solve this problem, I can reconsider. ”

“I see.”

I kicked my tongue in. From what I can tell, the Northern Emperors have already swiftly intervened and opposed. The emperor who gained their confidence in their intervention said he would not resign from the regime in the North.

In the beginning, I thought the North Regency might be difficult. I'm satisfied with my position as Duke and Imperial Enforcer, and I have no choice but to wait for the next day.

“You can't afford to lose the North when you're fighting with the Emperor. ”

I nodded at General Tilly's advice.

“Very well. Thank the Emperor for his kindness. ”

After sending out an envoy, I thought to myself. What is the Emperor's purpose? Why would he want to balance the empire?

I thought about it, but I could hardly find the answer. In my previous experience, the emperor did not give up the empire until the end. Obsession was to protect the altar well enough.

I had no idea what had bound him to the Empire so deeply.

“Congratulations! Merge! ”

“Congratulations on your win. Merge.”

As I returned to Munich, congratulations were pouring in everywhere. Now that I have the position of head of the Empire, I am able to write the title "Harmony." In fact, it was only an honour with no power, but it was important that the foothold was a platform that could lead to the future.

- Congratulations, you're up.

- Thank you, Your Grace.

I was congratulated by Beowulf.

- It's time to go back.

- Is that so?

I wanted to keep him as long as I could, but I couldn't.

- I got a call to come back. Looks like there's a lot of fighting going on over there, too. You need the power of the overlord.

His power defeats the incarnation, so it would be a shame from the boiling abyss. I had no choice. I asked him a question before he left.

- Didn't you die with a dragon incarnate in the past? But in Munich, you dominated the Maximilians.

- Oh, you mean that? Well, maybe you're wondering. That's because the power of the incarnation depends on the causality.

According to Beowulf, power depends on the level of cause of the incarnation.

- In Maximilian's case, the incarnation had a cause that could affect a city called Munich. On the other hand, the dragons defeated by the past have a cause that could affect the entire kingdom. That was a different level of power.

It is the first knowledge I have learned. The power of the incarnation depends on the cause. From there, I got a defining hint.

- Your Grace, in order to deal with future incarnations, it is important to reduce the cause of rigor.

Beowulf was surprised.

- You're very wise. Yes, rather than beating the incarnation itself, if you can control the source of the stiffness, you can greatly reduce its power.

I stumbled across clues to deal with the incarnate. It seemed to be much more efficient than attacking directly.

- But we must remember that intervening in causality cannot be easy for even the divine, Duke.

- Yeah, I bet.

- Ah, causality makes sense. Maybe that'll help.

There seems to be some kind of clue. I cut off my ear.

- Do you know why he fought the dragon?

- Yes, but didn't the dragon explode and attack the kingdom because he lost his golden cup?

Come on, think about it here. It's the incarnation of a great dark army. Isn't that just a treasure?

From what I hear, yes. I felt goosebumps at the moment.

- Your Grace, it is remarkable that a mere treasure has given us cause to destroy Yates. even though Maximilian had tricked the Dark Army into postponing its promise.

- Yeah, it doesn't make sense. But that's how dangerous it is for the Dark Army.

It was amazing.

- How well do you know what it is?

- The overlord knows it's a mythical creature created by a great army of darkness. I don't know what it's for. I know the Dark Army is only there to ward off the other Dark Ones. Then I was wondering if I could be involved in controlling the causation rate.

It doesn't make sense that the Cup is some kind of devastating weapon. Nevertheless, if the kingdom is treated as doomed to destruction, it may be a reluctance to engage in causality.

- Actually, I hadn't considered that possibility before. But talking to you reminds me.

- Your Grace, if that's true, you have given humanity a great gift. Where is the golden chalice now?

If one of the Dark Army has it, it's bullshit. You can't defeat them and take them away from them with human power.

Apparently, after he died, the dragon's treasure, including the Golden Cup, was buried beneath the ground. Because I'm afraid of disaster. Gold to sand, jewels to stone.

I can't. I found clues about how to deal with the incarnate. But Beowulf said you'll find it in the ruins of Yets.

- Okay, thank you. Your Majesty.

- Well, goodbye then. I'll see you again if you're lucky.

Beowulf is gone with greetings. Now he will go somewhere where the forces of darkness and their dominion will fight. To the battlefield of mythical beings.

It was not my place to be involved. My battlefield is full of matter.

But I found two vital clues against the Dark Army or the incarnate. One is the sword left by the coral princess, and the golden glass of the dragon.

It is anticipated that the former is the ultimate swordsmanship that even a great army of darkness can slaughter, and the latter can be involved in the causality.

We definitely needed to get them both before the worst fight broke out. If something like Munich happens again, I won't be able to handle it.

As soon as I reached the duc, I headed to Heidelberg, the capital of Pfalz. Pre-elect Pfalz and talk to Friedrich. The practical coordination was already done with Liechli and others.

I, the Imperial Enforcer and Duke Vitenbier-Basel, march boldly ahead with a glamorous party. Only 500 horsemen followed the march.

This visit brought all kinds of talk to the entire empire. If it was because of the matter of the imperial decree, there was no one else who could control it.

“Welcome aboard, combined. ”

The bureaucrats came out of the gates of Heidelberg and welcomed me. I felt quite concerned about the ritual, seeing how even the elite guards were plucked from the glamour.

“Thank you for the welcome. ”

“You are honorable and noble, and it is natural for us to do so. ”

I smiled inside. He used to cut grass in the Supandau countryside. I think it was taken by the witches yesterday.

“Come, let's go to the palace. ”

He was one of the Dukes of the Pfalz family who was in charge of the guidance. I thought Friedrich and I might be able to work things out with him because they care about me.

“I'll stay here. ”

I had to look at the guided place and make a bitter smile inside. It was Philipp's palace after the Iron Fist. Perhaps the usurper Friedrich has taken up residence in another palace.

“Your predecessor will return tomorrow because you have gone hunting. I'm sorry, but please wait one day. We'll give you everything you need. ”

Well, there was no hunting. Well, I wasn't supposed to speak today, so I smiled softly and said yes.

“Got it. Can you get me something colder?" ”

“Of course. I'll bring you the strawberry juice Heidelberg boasts. ”

Strawberry is a specialty of Heidelberg's famous strawberry warfare.

“Well…. ”

Hunting, that's a little absurd. The target appears while the target is contemplating its intent.

“Congratulations on your win, team. ”

“Thank you. Is everything all right? ”

Daltagnan was in Heidelberg with my bureaucrats a week ago. To gather the information I need in advance of a meeting

“I have someone I'd like you to meet. He has an important clue about this meeting. If we don't get his help, the conference will fail. ”

I don't think he's ordinary enough to be convinced that he's a moonlighter. Obviously, there was a suspicious angle as well as a hunting excuse for Pfalz.

“Who?”

“Oh, you're here now. ”

I wanted to hear something, but she gestures at the maid who just walked into the room. She was the maid who brought me the drink I asked for. Sweet strawberry scent pierces my nose.

“Hmm?"

As I look at the maid, I nod at her. I don't think you're an ordinary person.

“Merge.”

The servant bowed her head politely. It was a face I couldn't see anywhere on the outside. But soon I was surprised. He saw the maid chewing off her face.

“Oh, my gosh. ”

It's like an inflatable sphere. I was surprised when I saw a completely different face. This was an agent's technique.

“The girl will greet you as one. ”

An elegant greeting that seems to fly away. She was a beautiful girl with eyes returning. Since the ordinary maid had no time zone and a good household girl appeared, I felt possessed by a ghost.

I still had a very lovable face. But I didn't fall for that beauty. I just laughed bitterly.

“You must be Deon de Beaumont. ”

Because the opponent was a man.
