Earl Holland did not just attack Rufett Air Force Command and Castle Rufet.

You ambushed and captured supply points from Castle Rufet to Dagon Plain, and after persuading Duke Rufet to surround the major territories he had brought to his side, you entered the operation of pressuring their lord, who was captured alive during the commanding officer raid.

It was a very tight and organized occupation operation for insubordination.

This large-scale operation will require a large number of people, and eventually it will be easy to spot Earl Holland, without anyone noticing, was perfected.

It seemed to allow you to look at the connections you had established and the overall line while perhaps being a long-time general commander.

And there was absolutely no way that Grand Duke Rufet, who had just died here.

Earl Holland, the general commander of the army, was despised by Italy.

This caused many military personnel to complain to Duke Rupert, which led to a phenomenon in which numerous military personnel easily aligned with Earl Holland's cause.

But there were many who were loyal to the Grand Duchess of Rupert.

A typical case was Baron Probe guarding Fort Jodam.

He was defeated at the end by the rebellious forces who raised an uprising inside Jodam Fortress. After that, the dead Baron Royan's forces marched in, locking the gates firmly and entering the city.

“Baron Probe. You defended Fort Jodam. You've done a great job. But what about injuries? ”

Magic Communications. I was communicating with Baron Probe, commander of Jodam Fortress.

He was leading Fort Jodam's guards with determination, even though he suffered a major injury that required half his face to be bandaged.

“It's okay. It's okay. No, I feel full of energy knowing that the Grand Duke is helping us. When I heard about the occupation of Lupette Castle a few days ago, I thought it was over. ”

“Don't worry about Rufet Castle. The castle is now fortified and Mr Trichev is leading the army against the rebels on the territory. ”

“Glad to hear it.”

“Anyway, keep guard of Fort Jodam. Fort Jodam, along with Castle Rufet, is one of the key points in determining the future of war. So you have to protect it. ”

“Don't worry. I will do my best to save my life. ”

“Then I'll believe you. ”

“Yes.”

I got up from my seat after I hung up.

This gives me control of Rufet and Fort Jodam. Thanks to this, I was able to move forward very advantageously, but on the other hand, I had a little anxiety.

It was due to the closeness of Earl Holland's recent movements.

I heard from my friend Hubeio today that Earl Holland has sent an envoy to offer his uncle, the emperor, an alliance with the power outage.

As I ate Rufet and Jodam Fortress, I quickly made my way to the other side of the fence.

‘Earl Holland. It's not incompetent.’

Earl Holland has allied himself with the Empire to receive supplies from the Empire.

I ate Rufet and Jodam Fortress, and there was a new supply route to replace the lost stream supply routes.

The problem was that the emperor's uncle was reviewing it positively.

Now that your uncle is in dire need, I'm willing to consider an alliance with Earl Holland, of course, but if you do, you're making a big mistake.

You work with the Rebels to defeat the Rebels? This doesn't make any sense.

It seems the Emperor himself can't defend the Empire without the help of Earl Holland.

In other words, the authority of the empire falls to the ground.

Of course, I don't know if my other uncle would now consider this a strategy or a partisan and accept Earl Holland's proposition, but let's see.

The fallen empire is doomed. You will never defend this empire.

Perhaps you should try to divide it into three nations, or perhaps it will be me and Earl Holland who will devour all the empires.

‘Of course I'll be the winner. ’

The reason I am so confident is that the production facilities for the cavalry and nonengineering equipment are right here in Lupette territory.

In the case of horsemen, they had already secured dozens of finished goods and are now being manufactured in hundreds of workshops.

I also put a non-engineering equipment production facility in my hands, and got a chain of command system, a non-engineering personnel training facility, to put an additional 250 new non-engineers under my command.

Moreover, I gained a large amount of essence by robbing the Grand Duchess of Rupert's underground vault.

It was like an essence left behind by Italy, but the quantity was enormous.

I could trade roughly 20,000 of the finest essences for 65 million leafs of gold in the current era.

I secretly swallowed it all up in my pocket.

If you return this to the Grand Duchess of Rupert and release it to the market, the price of the essence will plummet.

For the stability of the Essence market, I have to take it, even if I'm a bad guy.

From the Magic Communications Center, I headed straight for the Grand Duchess of Rupert.

“Grand Duke, welcome. ”

The Grand Duke welcomed me to his palace and was no other than Earl Caleb.

He had recently ceased his military service and was in a hurry.

It was just an instant Grand Duchess of Erisa, but it was like an instant Grand Duchess.

This is because during the immediate process, Erisa will declare her place in the Grand Duke after victory.

“Yes. How's your immigration going? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“You have to be generous. It's an important event.”

Earl Caleb looked at me anxiously.

“But I don't know if Erisa's doing so well. Still choosing someone else. ”

“Why? It's a tradition. And all three of your sons, who are under His Majesty's rule, are dead. ”

“But don't they have children? Among them are male brothers and cousins. ”

I have tasted the taste of it and have once again looked to Earl Caleb.

“How can you trust them? How do we know he's working with Earl Holland? ”

“Is that possible? For them, Earl Holland is the enemy that killed his parents. ”

“There are no parents or children in power. Never overlook the benefits. What if he made someone else Duke, and he's the one who's working with Earl Holland? We're all doomed. So it's a good idea to make Erisa the Grand Duchess. I know, but she's not. I've been watching you the whole time.

Don't. ”

“Of course, but other brothers may protest. ”

I snap one lip up.

“It's the same with other people. They have nothing but complaints. Why? Because he has this unsubstantiated belief that he's the only Grand Duke heir. Maybe if you took someone other than Erisa as a Grand Duchess or a Grand Duchess, you'd think you could do something about the scarecrow that we built and attack us in some way. ”

“No way. ”

“That's the way the world works. What's wrong with someone who knows you well? Anyway, the other successors are the dangerous molecules. Earl Holland is in trouble for spreading treachery so quickly, they will not respond. That's why I recommended Erisa as the Grand Duchess. Between the school and the engagement, I'm gonna kill her with my own hands.

I couldn't do it. ”

Earl Caleb opens his eyes wide.

“Yes? Kill him? ”

“So you want to keep him alive? We're not leaving behind any aftermath. We are at war. It's enough to leave behind the aftermath of what Duke Rupert did. Please don't make Earl Holland second. ”

“That's... ”

I waved my hand.

“Do it secretly or openly. If something like the last insurgency in the Grand Duke happens again, I'm out of here. Honestly, you don't have a plan, do you? How many times has this been treason? I'd rather lose my hand and fight a hundred times by myself. In this state, I can't fight because I'm itching behind my back. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

I spoke to Earl Caleb, who had no answer.

“So, shall I do it? It's probably easier for me to do something I don't know than you do. ”

Earl Caleb shakes his hand.

“No, I'll do it. ”

“Really?"

“Yes.”

I glanced at the Earl of the Caribbean.

This little mind is small, but one notices it fast.

If I do, I won't end up with one heir. Kill all those who oppose me on this occasion, leaving Grand Duchess Rufett in my hands.

“You thought well. This will hurt, but Earl Caleb's decision today will save the Grand Duchess of Lupett. ”

Of course he survived me. Earl Caleb's decision left the Grand Duchess of Lupett with a name.

“Yes.”

Later, I took a stroll down the hallway to the room where Erisa became a hermit, not a hermit. The knights guarding the front of the visit bowed softly as I appeared.

“Grand Duke, are you here? ”

“Yes. And the Grand Duchess? ”

“He's inside. ”

“Got it. Keep up the good work. ”

“Yes.”

I entered Erisa's room, greeted by the knights. She gives me a sharp look as soon as she sees me.

“Jan. Why are you keeping me in this room? ”

I walk over to the window with the curtains hanging loose, checking for security.

“You said you were going to have a Grand Duchess Immediate. Until then, I'm protecting you. ”

“Do you expect me to believe that? ”

“Believe it or not, it doesn't matter. You just have to trust me. ”

“Why?”

“That's the only way the Grand Duchess of Rupert can survive. ”

Erisa jumps up and shouts.

“Jan! ”

I said, tossing the curtain.

“Erisa. You studied history a lot, right? ”

“Yes.”

“What usually happens when this happens? ”

“My boss will slowly drain our Grand Duchess Rufet and swallow it up. You have that kind of power now. ”

I raised my thumb to Erisa.

“That's right. The Grand Duchess of Rupert will finally be swallowed up by me. ”

She stared at me like she was going to kill me.

“Hey!”

I approached Erisa.

“But this is somewhat different from a universal historical event. It's different, but it has a very important element. ”

“What's that? ”

“Rufet territory is not an empire. ”

“Really?"

“Yes. My goal is the entire empire, not Rupert territory. If I serve as a footstool for the Empire, it means that the Lupets will survive through you. Why? The Duke owns Lupette territory, not the Emperor. Do you understand now? ”

Erisa shakes her head, her eyes fluttering.

“Yes.”

“So play the scarecrow until the day I take over the empire. After that, you'll be the true Duke of Rupert. I'll be hanging out in Hwang Sung by then. ”

Erisa said in a resigned voice.

“So our Grand Duke's dream is gone? ”

“Yes, we should. You guys are the best at keeping things going. If you get greedy like this, your family will explode. In my hand. And you can't betray me if you want to. If I die, you die. To Earl Holland. Of course, pretending to be crazy and working with Earl Holland would be possible, but the result is the same. For Earl Holland, you care.

It's a boil.Of course you want to squeeze it out. As long as your family exists, the Earl must continue to bear the burden of treason against his master. You know? ”

“Yes, I know. In the future, any excuse will be used to wipe out my family. ”

Erisa shakes her head.

The Grand Duchess of Lupett has no choice but to me.

We cannot join forces with the Emperor, nor can we join forces with the erl Holland.

I laughed bloody.

“Good. My Erisa is smart. Let's do this. House Rupert will be rebuilt for sure. I have no reason to wipe out the Lupets. ”

“But I'm not sure. ”

“Huh?"

Erisa faced me straight.

“How do we believe your promises? ”

“You have to.”

“I can't believe you're saying that. ”

“Then?”

“Please leave a document. Then I'll work hard for ambition. ”

This beast is playing a prank. He seems to be leaving a document to burden me, and I don't give a damn about it.

I burned the paper lying on the nearby table.

“Documents are meaningless. I can burn it. ”

“You won't do it? Then I can't trust you. ”

“Let's make this a more conclusive arrangement. ”

“Yes?”

I took a look at Erisa's condition some time ago.

“No matter how much power I have no parents or children, I don't give a shit about my children. Usually.”

“Sun? ”

I approached Erisa with a sly smile.

“It's for the Lupets. It's what you want. Let's do our best until the day the Token of Promise is made. ”

I hugged the frightening Erisa and fell on the bed.

Erisa first rebelled greatly, but eventually resigned and accepted me.

Honestly, there's no token of promise between me and her as sure as making a second year.

I don't know what to do, by the way. If this had been known to Kara, it would have been a chessboard on my face.

But I can't help it.

For the world and for humanity, I must sacrifice myself.

No one knows my noble sacrificial spirit.
