Price of Management

Chapter 3. Civil War Launch

The next day, I heard that an alliance agenda with the Kingdom of Lerdon was discussed at a meeting in the Palace of Orien.

And that afternoon, I was summoned to the Orient King.

This is the decision of the Orient King.

“The alliance still seems to have a little more to worry about. However, I will accept a customs agreement with the Kingdom of Leaden. The two countries' economic cooperation was the sea that Jim also wanted. ”

“So you want to collect from customs and hold off the alliance? ”

In my question, he nodded.

“Yes, but the alliance problem is also positively thought out, and I will answer shortly. ”

“If you're in such a hurry, you mean after the Civil War in the Horn Empire?" ”

My gentle question made the Orient King smile.

“You know what I mean. ”

I laughed too.

“Very well. Your Majesty will be pleased with your customs agreement once you have established an economically close relationship. ”

The alliance did not succeed, but the situation was positive.

There is no international relationship as close as the two sides are economically win-win. When it comes to helping each other economically, we naturally have a cooperative relationship in terms of security. Customs agreements and fantasy schemes are a beneficial system for the Oriental Kingdom as long as there is a Kingdom of Leaden.

“You should discuss the details with Earl Ricciado. I delegated the matter to him regarding the customs agreement. ”

Earl Rica was the one who fooled me while trying to take me to Daryl's priesthood.

“Very well. I commend your valor. ”

“The Dragon Clan? Hmph, the horses are spreading. Jim's greatest failure in decision-making has failed to bring you back as his son-in-law. The more I think about it, the more I'll die.”

That said, I smiled.

Of course you are.

I am a Spirit looking to the highest possible level (but I am also a Son of the Master)!

It was also today that I heard that my father had become a master.

As soon as I heard the story, I was excited to dance.

My father is finally on the verge!

He has become capable of shoulder to shoulder with controversial powers such as Duke Meutt, Duke Britain, and Earl Halstein.

The error master proved to be a knight at the peak of nothingness, despite the devastating power that directly influenced the battle, and that alone was enough to be respected.

My father's ascension to such a state, the Kunts have finally begun to come.

In my past life, I was overwhelmed by my father's success. This means that the status of our family has been elevated to a position that cannot be ignored even after the physical uprising.

Now it's just Rick and his former mercenary king, Patrick Condolman, to be masters. If these two are the only ones to reach the Master, I will no longer have to worry about the Horn Empire.

I then met with Earl Ricardo to negotiate the details of the customs agreement.

Earl Ricciardo, a diplomatic bookkeeper for the Orient royal family, was a man of immeasurable knowledge of the economy. It made sense to put him in front of diplomacy.

The negotiations were swift because the story worked. However, it took some time for us to compete to lower customs duties on our specialties. But I was able to finish it in three days.

In closing, Earl Ricardo said:

“And the king wishes to entrust your merchant guild with the export of his grain to the Horn Empire. ”

“How much is it? ”

“300,000 sacks of wheat, 50,000 sacks of barley. ”

At that I whistled. There was a lot of it. If I had grain the size of that in the Great Plague, I would have bought some territory. Well, it's useless to say that now that the grain market has gone to shit.

“We'll divide the net income by six to four. Of course, our Caroc Merchants Guild is 6. ”

“Isn't it fair to divide it five by five? ”

Lika shakes her head at the Earl, who wants to negotiate.

“I'm too tired to negotiate further. I'm not going to give you any of this. ”

“Well, I've been arguing at the negotiating table for three days.... Let's discuss it again tomorrow. ”

“No, I'll give you 10 seconds. Decide.”

“What?"

“Here we go. 10, 9, 8, 7……. ”

“Now, hold on! Where is this law……. ”

Earl Lika was also bored with the idea that he was a madman.

Rinse, it's my heart. Why? Your king would know better if I were this kind of man. If you don't like it, just keep floating around the grain.

“6, 5, 4, 3, …. ”

In the end, Rica shakes her head as if she couldn't stop him.

“Okay, okay, six to four. Let's just write the contract.”

“Heh heh, good. ”

“I felt it the last time I was fooled, but you, bastard ligand, are a freak. ”

“Hahaha!”

I burst into laughter.

Many people call me a freak these days, but the most appropriate word to describe my life in my past life was "mediocrity."

However, after living for 90 years, I still regret that I tried to live with the universal normality.

It was unnecessary to care about other people's eyes and to live and not be free of their actions, and to be trapped in a certain frame.

I don't have to do that anymore, so I can live on my own terms. It doesn't matter what you hear, whether you're a nerd or not.

As a result, all negotiations were concluded.

“Well done.”

“Well done.”

We shook hands.

It was a negotiation process, but it was a satisfactory outcome for both parties because they both benefited.

“Now I need to get the Egyptians ready to make their way to the Horn Empire." ”

On second thought, the role of the eggs was quite important this time.

The grain of the Orient Kingdom should be exported to the Horn Empire, as well as the grain of the author Houdini, who owns the largest grain cellar in the Kingdom of Leaden.

That is, hundreds of thousands of sacks of grain hanging on his shoulders.

Moreover, the grain vendor is Chief Talak, who leads the nomadic rebellion.

It was not only important, but it was a fairly dangerous ascent.

Given the risks, of course, I was going to escort Patrick to all of the Condol Cavalry.

I hope Patrick comes back with a whole bunch of drifting nomads. If Emperor Kars did this to gain the power of the nomadic people, I'm also going to put a spoon on it and recruit the nomadic warriors to reinforce the Condol Cavalry.

I wrote a letter to the Eggs right away.

Then who should I send the letter to?

This was the problem.

I came here without a single attendant, and no one sent me an errand.

You can't.

I thought I'd have to hire a mercenary to send a letter.

“If you see a prosperous talent among the concierge mercenaries, you should scout it as a cold knight. ”

I took a joyful step toward the mercenary guild.

… jumping out of a window and joyfully strolling up into the sky, the palace guards lifted another pincup.

* * *

The Horn Empire is in chaos.

Emperor Kars, who occupied Castel Castle at the Baden River negotiations, expressed his will to return the nomads to the Imperial Court, saying that 'some uncouth nomadic tribes have interfered with the supply route and failed to conquer the basin of the Baden River.'

More than half the tribes surrendered under the command of Emperor Kars.

In addition to fearing treason against the Imperial Court, those who pride themselves on scouring the continent with the former Duke Bezalius were outraged by the fact that nomads, like themselves, interrupted photocopying of the Horn Empire.

However, the hardened tribes opposed the emperor's claim.

It was that the imperial court tried to control its own freedom by craftsmanship that did not become imperial. I could not abandon my habit of killing and taking away the grasslands freely.

A typical tribe was the Tallacs.

Chief Tallack has secretly stepped up to independence with funding from the aftermath.

Chief Tallac is ferocious, but he has definitely begun to increase his power. If we give out a large amount of food and make it unilaterally, the tribes who wouldn't listen conquered with force and took revenge.

After the bloodshed on the grasslands, the combined number of Independents with their will increased to 42 tribes under the command of Chief Tallack. The number of warriors who could fight was 60,000.

Given that 60,000 of them had experienced combat and slaughter on horseback together, it was truly a terrifying force.

The whole continent is attracted to them, speculating that there will be a great Satan in the Horn Empire.

And the man in the center of the storm, Chief Tallac, finally declared that he had assembled 41 chiefs and 60,000 warriors under his command.

“In the past, we have scourged the continent with the great Duke Crost. Bezalius. With victory and victory piled up, we finally reached the eastern side of the continent. But what about now? Imperial foolishness has failed the Eastern Continent expedition, resurrected the Oriental Kingdom as a successor, and as it reappeared to the Kingdom of Leaden, we were driven back to the western part of the barren continent! ”

An Independent warrior cries out in a furious speech by Chief Tallack.

Chief Tallack yells in anger.

“Look at us now! Where did all that fertile land you and Duke Bezalius acquired go?! Why should our great Wind Clan, who have scoured the continent, spend a hard day here? After creating this circumstance, the Imperial Court is now calling us traitors! ”

“Oooh!”

“The Imperial Court is a coward! ”

“Let's destroy the incompetent Emperor! ”

A frenzy of rage erupts from 60,000 insurgents.

It was obvious that the incitement of Chief Tallac was easily swallowed up by the ferocious warriors who used to live on slaughter and plunder.

“So I decided! We no longer submit to the Imperial Court! We will build our own free country, and we will call it the Wind Kingdom! ”

“The Kingdom of Wind! ”

“Long live the Kingdom of Wind! ”

“Let's build our own kingdom! ”

Chief Tallac raises his fist high above the sky with his fist clenched.

“Let's show them! Punish the true sinner, and gain true freedom!" ”

“Whoa!”

“Hail Chief Tallack! ”

“Long live the Kingdom of Wind! ”

“Punish the incompetent Imperial Court! ”

The nomads are surrounded by the Frenzied Dagani.

It was an incident that formally declared the construction of an Independent state under the direction of Chief Tallac.

* * *

“The Kingdom of Wind. ”

Emperor Kars smiles.

I wasn't laughing.

The smile is distorted like a puppet smiling forcefully, with no emotion in it.

Earl van Kysson, the deputy commander who bowed down before him, said:

“As you ordered, we have assembled the rebel insurgents. A combined Imperial Army of 150,000 awaits your orders to march. ”

“Is the supply of munitions following my instructions? ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“Good work.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. And…… 64 chiefs are asking His Majesty to meet them. ”

“Chiefs?”

They refer to 64 tribal chieftains who were brought under the command of Emperor Kars.

“They want to join the uprising and build a ball. There are only 80,000 nomadic warriors with them. ”

Emperor Kars considers for a moment and nods.

“I'll see you. Send everyone in." ”

“Yes!”

Earl Kaison is out of the war to retrieve the chiefs.

Shortly thereafter, Earl Kaisson and 64 chieftains entered Ur.

Many people entered the war at once, but they did not say a word in front of the cold majesty of Emperor Kars.

As the heads of the nomadic tribes who didn't know the imperial manners, you could say the same thing, but you were overwhelmed by the peculiarity of the emperor without any emotion.

Emperor Kars said.

“You want to join the war? ”

The question led an old chieftain who appeared to be the oldest of the chiefs to walk forward.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Chief Tallack is a disgrace to our family in the wind. This is our chance to prove our valor to the Emperor before we take them down. ”

The other chieftains nod as well.

Emperor Kars looked at everyone's faces with expressionless eyes.

Then Najik opened his mouth.

“I don't need it. ”
