Price of Management

Even after the conclusion was reached, I had to think a lot alone.

Civil War of the Horn Empire by the Nomadic Independents.

This was something that had never happened before in my life. In his past life, of course, Emperor Kars was the first to subdue and absorb the nomads.

At that time, however, the nomads were unable to systematically resist the Horn Imperial Court because they were supported after the landscape as they are now.

The nomads, divided into hundreds of tribes, did not join forces to the very end, and succumbed to the swift military action of Emperor Kars.

Now, however, the Horn Empire has joined forces with rebellious tribes around the Tallac tribe. The ease of food acquisition in the material support of post-abortion makes it easy to attract other tribes.

Despite this change in history, it was important for Emperor Kars to show his military talents.

Of course, history has changed. His ability doesn't go anywhere, but war depends on luck, other than the commander's ability.

Well, I can't imagine the defeat of that psychotic emperor.

* * *

The Horn Empire.

Isabella's palace.

Dozens of people gathered in the hall on the first floor. They were gathered by sudden summons of imperial officials.

The summoned emperor Kars has not yet arrived, so he is gathering to chat. Most discussed why the summons were dropped.

“If this is the time of the summons, of course it's about the nomads. ”

“I see. Then the Emperor has finally decided to subdue the defiant nomads. ”

“It's a fixed sequence, and it's all about the meridian. It doesn't matter who will be appointed as the Punitive Force Commander. ”

“Well, that's right. ”

“I think Earl Halstein will be commander. I think the Emperor is the closest thing he has to a stooge, and I've never taken Castel Castle with 100,000 troops before. ”

“This is not the same as taking Castel Castle. These are the nomads. If you're going to subdue the nomads on the prairie, you'll need to appoint a commander who has more proven his military and mercenary skills. ”

“How hard is it to contain the rebellion? Among the nomadic tribes, 42 tribes participated in the rebellion, whereas 64 tribes came under Imperial command. If we deploy 100,000 to the Imperial Army there, it won't be too much of a difference. ”

“You keep forgetting they're nomadic. They are a people who move constantly without settling in one place. I don't want the war to prolong itself. Our imperial family doesn't have any money right now. ”

The fierce debate of the officials continued.

But it was then.

“The Emperor is entering! ”

The hall immediately lowered its solemn silence.

Soon I saw Emperor Kars. In a splendid robe of red and gold, Emperor Kars walked into the shadowy corridor of the Earl of Master Halstein. It was the appearance of the most powerful person on earth.

The perpetually awkward and expressionless face gave everyone a strange feeling. The monarch who does not reveal his feelings at all makes his officials afraid and nervous because he can't guess inside.

When he sat on the throne, the attendants plunged to the left and to the right.

Emperor Kars looked around the stoop.

The expressionless gaze swept through the officials' faces one by one. It seemed like they were trying to read what they were thinking.

Then I opened my mouth.

“The Tallac tribe. ”

The officials swallowed the saliva.

There you are!

I'm coming.It was also about the nomadic rebels. It's about to start a war.

“Some of the depraved nomads who had committed treason by pillaging this Imperial Army supply corridor before were desperate to build an Independent nation. You must be thinking about fighting for treason. ”

Emperor Kars chuckles. It was a distinctive distorted laugh.

“Not bad. The worst case when cleaning household pests is that they don't come out of corners, and the best case is that they come out in droves. Jim will watch for time until the rebellious tribes unite to reject the imperial authority. ”

One of the officials walked forward.

“Your Majesty, it is the late lord Shin Handerwood. ”

The late Henderwood was already an old man looking at 70 years old, a loyal servant who had long been in the Horn Empire.

Emperor Kars has a jaw.

“Tell me.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. There is a growing number of tribes aligned with their absurd delusions of building a Imperial or Independent nation. He is also expanding his power with funding from the lords of the Kingdom of Leaden called Jehovah. With more time, it is clear that it will grow to a dangerous level, so you should never let it stand in your way. ”

“I know.”

Emperor Kars responded lightly.

“But I'm not afraid. No matter how big they are, they are not the enemy of burden. When the time is ripe, Jim will lead the army forward and prove it. ”

“Yeet?”

The Earl of Handerwood embarrasses me a little.

The same was true of the other officials.

The young emperor has now declared that he will lead an army.

It is a friend.

I didn't know that the Emperor himself would declare himself unhealthy, so the officials were surprised and murmured. Their opponent is none other than the wandering nomadic breeze of the meadow. A small number never underestimates the opponent.

Emperor Kars watched the officials' reactions silently.

At that time, an elderly man with a strong figure among his officials took the courage to take a step forward and bowed down to Emperor Kars.

“This is the van of the late Earl Caisson family. Please allow me to speak.”

Earl van Kysson was a soldier who had recently served as the commander of the 5th Army of the Horn Empire. He was strong and straightforward, so many people trusted him.

“Speak, Earl Kaison. ”

“Thank you."

Earl Caisson said to Emperor Kars with a stiff face as if he was preparing for something.

“Your Majesty, do not step aside and leave the rebellion to a talented man with experience in war. ”

The officials changed their faces at the words. Everyone wanted to say it, but I couldn't say it in front of the scary young emperor.

His expression remained unchanged.

“Why?”

“Your Majesty is young and has yet to command an army. If the nomads are opponents, we are concerned that they may pose a direct threat to your honour. ”

“In summary, how are you going to lead an army into war on a subject with no military command experience? ”

The officials were frightened to hear the emperor's blatant question. Everyone thought Earl Kaison might die.

Earl Kaison is so nervous that his forehead is covered in cold sweat, but he nods with a clenched fist.

“Yes, Your Majesty! Of course, I know His Majesty has a deep intention, but all armies are not one thing, they are a multitude of human groups. There are many difficulties in controlling them because they do not follow the commands as they are intended. So with intense training, we can teach our soldiers to do what they want to do well. Now that we all know your unwavering will and courage, why don't you leave it to others to carry out their will? ”

After hearing the story, Emperor Kars grinned nervously as he distorted his face.

“Let me ask you something. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty! ”

“Jim is an inexperienced child and cannot control his army. Are you capable of leading 100,000 troops blindly? ”

Earl Kaison's body was covered in sweat.

I feel fear. Even the barren eyes of King Kars, without emotion, were frightened of Earl Halstein standing behind him like a shadow.

But he held on to his heart.

“I never dared to think of the great emperor as a child. But if you ask me if I can command 100,000 troops, yes! I can do it. ”

“ ……. ”

There is heavy silence in the hall.

Shortly after, Emperor Kars opened his mouth.

“Good. I like that honesty and confidence. ”

Earl Kaison looks up in amazement at his anticipation and the reaction of the other emperors.

“Earl van Kyle. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty! ”

“You are the Deputy Commander. ”

“…… Yes?! ”

“I understand doubting Jim's ability to command has not yet been proven. So you become a burden and lead a great army instead of a burden. It is your only role to ensure that you communicate the will of Jim accurately to numerous soldiers and to control them to carry out their duties. Do you understand?”

Later on, Earl Kaison understood what he was saying.

“Yes, I understand! ”

“I'll give you a month's end. Until then, prepare to clean up the rebel molecule. Be prepared to lose the war, and report every day to Jim about your preparedness. ”

“I'll take a name! ”

Earl Kaison replies softly with a fierce fist.

The other officials looked at Earl Kaison as jealous of his important role. When he put his fear on his knees and uttered his last words, he gained the emperor's faith. They were all jealous and admired his courage.

“Then we're done here. Dismissed.”

After a gentle sigh, Emperor Kars rises from the throne. Then he disappeared with Earl Halstein.
