Tower of Karma
Final War: To The Next Era
"Don't let him open his mouth! It's just smoke in your mouth."
There were many who nodded at Adam's words. Hundreds of generals, especially those of older age, almost concurred with that opinion. The words of a man who is the enemy of Garias, no matter what he says, there is no sardine to help him. I don't care how you attach it to King Julius' weakness, and I was a little disgusted with the king who attached it. There is no way that a man who knows his predecessor's king will be satisfied when he sees his present king.
"Master Gaius once said: Recent wars are boring."
That's why the name works.
"Don't you want to know the boring, funny, measure of that one? what he enjoyed about the war, and how that part was lost."
Adan grabbed his fist tightly. My words were used. Half the people on this scene have direct knowledge of William. Few were in a position to beg him to teach. It was only a few hours, but he kept his nail marks tight. If they're just talking, you can listen, it will be a natural consequence.
Adan's words are for other endorsements. The biggest of those forces is the followers of the former king who do not feel comfortable with Julius. If the age group is higher, it applies here. It was the form that was successfully used to try to open it up and let King Julius decide.
They are vulnerable to 'Gaius'. And the man who had a strange crush on him was the enemy in front of him. There is resentment for it, but it can rather be their weekpoint when it comes to the story of the Innovation King, which he alone knows more than that.
"An era of warfare that lasts more than half a century. Technological developments were lost. Martial arts, weapons, tactics, novel things just stopped coming out. So boring. The funny thing about that one is simply the opposite. Novel, innovative is where it is. End of it."
Some of them nodded loudly.
"That one looked at me the way I did, because I had the same opinion in that part. War is boring. Then let's end the era of war. What can I do to do that...... Me and Master Gaius gave the same answer. Drop a giant star, take a glow from a battlefield hero, and drop it to the ground. People dream because there's romance there. Destroy that dream and people will get their normal thoughts back. No development, just foolishness that drains lives, what an inefficient competition. He said it would be better if we let him fight on Strachez's behalf."
"You, one of the giant stars, say it."
Boltose opens its mouth rarely in such a setting. So much so that Loran stood next to him for opening his mouth.
"That's the human paradox called me. It takes a lot of 'power' to destroy a dream. To gain that 'power', I discussed 'black gold'. As a result, after a twist, I gained 'strength' but became a hero on the battlefield. The contradiction that I have become to the existence to be driven down. To get rid of it, I have to drop a giant star without laying my hands on it."
"It's like if you were in the war, you could have won."
"... in my way, I have to ask for the means"
William affirmed, albeit cloudy.
"... you think you can win"
"Either way, it's impossible to rewind in the present situation. A story that doesn't make sense now. With the help of Garias, it won't even be a fight. If, on the contrary, we could use the help of Galias, we wouldn't be fighting in the opposite sense."
"Well, leave it out. How many White Knights do you want?
Loran's question. William didn't have time to put his hair in.
"Half a million."
Loran, who asked the question, goes out of his mind. There was even something to laugh at through the shadows.
"What kind of joke is that? There's a limit to how big a superpower you are."
Lütes spoke with an uncomfortable face.
"Are you kidding me? I mean it, Lütes. If you put slaves in your accounts, that's a realistic enough number. More than that, Geheim, their total fighting power, which they call 'justice', is about 200,000, and there are Wolves and Apollonia. Other armies with crooks. You can squeeze a few more people if you just want to fight it. If it's enough to fight it, I'd rather not let it out from the beginning."
Lydiane narrows her eyes to the words of a man who knows his total power. Because I didn't know why he had it figured out.
William looked in the direction of his gaze, towards Lydiane.
"Have you ever imagined the king's brains, before Arcadia perished?
"Whatever, I've been thinking about it lately."
"Are there innovations there? Funny future picture, huh?
…………
Lydiane holds her mouth.
"If you look at it at the moment, Garias's best is to get a bunch of money, and to discuss the 'justice' that Arcadia wore out after her demise. This should be held by all of you as recognition. But in that circumstance, for example, if you have 500,000 troops at your disposal, you can't drop a giant star. Geheim does not disintegrate. Because they have an escape. If you just run away, you have the power to pull out half a million. They should then be discrete to the rest of the world and aim for the opportunity to consider Garias, who absorbed Arcadia and became a supermassive nation. Garias must take care of the original land and the old Ostberg, Arcadia. There's a gap to attack."
William does not distract himself.
"It's a time of war. Garias vs. the world, still has the power to cross. That's a superpower. But I don't have enough power to let 'Justice' do nothing. It'll be a long time. That's just like Master Gaius kept getting his feet pulled by three stars"
Lydiane knew those too. If you take the best you can right now, the times will return to battle again. The battlefield, which has been increased in size by the lifting of the slave ban, should be more burdensome to the state than ever before. The production population will be dwindling.
"We should make this our last fight. Then we should not spare the serving, we should also coordinate with Arcadia. Even if Arcadia just stands, they lose one escape, and neither can they achieve the goal of destroying Arcadia. By not being able to accomplish a single purpose, they come looking for victory, not escape. Kill there in numbers. That's it. End it in barren times. Think about it. The king's brain. What's 'Best'"
Lydiane does not answer. I can't answer that. Her thoughts had finally reached that point. But I still couldn't choose that because the current Julius administration is not the cornerstone. I don't really want to take measures to irritate my surroundings.
"I would like to give you a vision of a new era"
It was the brains of previous generations, Salomon, that broke in there.
"This is the time to use money to wage economic wars. Even now, the world is doing so, but more conscious of it and with the exception of the shackles of war. In order to earn more of this guy, there is a greater added value. Making just wheat is not enough. Read tasty wheat, sturdy wheat, inexpensive wheat, needs Individuals compete. Sometimes that ingenuity will turn into innovation. Competition becomes everyday and new things are always explored. Every time it is filled with need, it becomes the mother of need and development. Circulation, where new things lay new things, is what we call a new era."
"Some lives will be lost with money."
"No matter, it's competition, so losers can die. But not adjacent. It's not like the battlefield. More importantly, life is not that important. The value of life goes down more than more people who don't die. Cheap, can buy and beat"
Eleonora gives an uneasy look to William's words.
"That this is not the time for human life"
"This is the time for development. Beyond that I think there is light… well, it's probably not something we should talk about now, whether it's a hundred years away or a thousand years away"
Salomon stared at William and opened his mouth even further.
"Why would William von Lewis choose that path? It would be more interesting there if you were Your Majesty, and you would follow the same path. How's it going? Interesting or something else?
In Salomon's eyes dwelt a sincere light. You simply want to know. The sincerity of Gaius' chosen man. William puts his hand on his chin and thinks, "Hmm." Word play probably doesn't make sense to such an old man. What I want to see is sincerity and sincerity. If only it was the other way around.
"I am not as strong as Master Gaius. I'm weak. Far more than you think."
Then let me show you.
"I remember the face of the first man I killed. Slash, fit, shoot, and bloody enemies and allies. My overlapping sins have grown uninterrupted. Think on a tower stacked in distortion, not knowing where you were anymore. How can I ask them to forgive me?"
My King's Road.
"I thought people didn't have light. I thought kindness and all that disappeared from this world. Take everything away, then I'll take everything away from you, that's what I thought. The end of my foolishness, when I realized it, was already so full of business that I couldn't help it."
All of a sudden, the surroundings stared surprisedly at William as he began to say things he wasn't sure about. Some people just stare at it intriguingly. They know.
"I think about how I can make amends, that's all. Not yet, I don't know the answer to that. So unobstructed, I'm going to do what I can. You don't need salvation, blame yourself. I just want forgiveness. Let's make something more than what we took. Change the times, go through innovation, someday now. Go a little further into the light awaiting future. So forgive me. Even if I know I can't, I do."
Salomon laid his eyes down.
"You think redemption is the path of William von Liwius?
"Yeah, a man with an unforgivable sin runs to be forgiven. Is it a comedy?"
"... would be a tragedy. I didn't know the successor of the king of innovation would be the king of business. No, it's human again, and Gaius chose not to."
The brainchild of the former king who bows his head.
"I have no authority whatsoever. I have the brains of an ex-king, somewhat one or two armies that can move, even if they rot. Expect to be the bearer of the next era and keep everything."
Everyone was out of line. Neither the man sitting on the throne, nor the brains of the present day to refrain next to him, nor the lords in line, can react to Salomon's remarks. The foolishness to blame. It is an overstatement, albeit the brainchild of the former king. I underestimate my current king too much. Successor should be Julius or Lydiane.
"I don't know. But the last word echoed in my chest. I want to fight this man for the last time."
The next speaker was Boltose. This is another remark that everyone is stunned by. Boltose was famous for not giving a single mouthful to politics, just like Strakles and others. The man opens his mouth and, like Salomon, follows his enemies.
"I guess I won't be able to relax. Wouldn't it be easier?"
Everyone was also surprised that Jan denied it. Anyway, he'll agree. There is a verse that even William thought so. Only a few facial expressions had changed.
"I'm a no-comment. If you do it, I will, and if you don't, I won't."
"And so am I."
"Same with me."
The left and right of the three kings had no opinion. But they already knew. The trend is set when Salomon drips his head in the first place. It was he who worked by Gaius more than anyone else, and who knew his king more than anyone else, who chose the path he would make.
A few, politicians' civilians rush to start going right and left, or the trend doesn't cover up.
This country is still the land of the Innovation King. Then the funny one wins.
"... Your Majesty and Opposite Pole, Ha, I knew you wouldn't mind eating, Adon. And I want you to forgive me. You don't hate weak people."
Even Adan creates an air of tolerance.
Now...
"Be quiet. Your Majesty can give the answer. White Knight, do you agree with William or not?"
It makes sense. All you have to do is get what you want.
"For the rest, Garias should work with Arcadia. And let's pull a new era together. The two countries build a new era under a strong alliance united by blood!
Now we have decided to win or lose the battle.
○
William was quietly standing on the hill. Again today we build up a huge business. Bear it, too, and he will live. Until you get forgiveness while you know it's unacceptable, that is, you even go down that path until you die.
"Glitter, That's Far Away"
"Oh, that's a long way to go"
Today brings the age of war to an end. To put an end to it, to move on, the king of the business will do one more thing.
