Earl Aubrey's treason concludes what happened last time. Earl Meier rose to full authority over the Grand Duke of Cars for the timely deterrent of the insurgency, and the hardened Independents who have occupied key positions have been foretold of the incompetence and negligence of their work to detect the insurgency in the future.

And to Earl Aubrey and his followers, I have decided to strongly question the sin of treason.

Collectively, this is a gesture of friendship to the Empire and a warning to not involve the car in the territory. To interpret it, I'll do what you want, but it was a political sign that it wouldn't be interesting if it kept going on like this.

During this time, Shra and Armida sister accompany Duke Brendel to the territory of Karl.

The visionary father greets Shra first, then approaches Duke Brendel.

“Welcome. Duke.”

“Grand Duke. I hear there's been an unfortunate incident within the territory. First, I will put up a word of consolation that is boring. ”

“No, there was no major damage with proper action. ”

After a brief hello, Father and Duke Brendel are separated from the group and have a deep and intimate conversation. It was an alliance between the conservatives and the Karl family. It was a very delicate matter, but perhaps the Duke of Brendel was very aggressive because he was threatened by Old Cloud.

Armida's sister trembled at me and said,

“Brother, you said there was a rebellion. Are you hurt?”

“Yes. I'm done without a knife. ”

“Oh, yeah? I guess it's really no big deal. ”

“Hehe, it's no big deal. A lot of people are dead or hurt. ”

I sent a wink to Shura. It was a sign that the quest was completed well.

Shura approaches and says.

“Master, well done. ”

“Well done. Well, first, let's greet the people of Karl. ”

I point my hand at the crowd gathering in front of the portal tower gate. It was the colonists who came out to welcome Shra, the Grand Duchess. I escorted her in units.

When Shura started speaking, Armida's sister approached me and said,

“Brother, what do you mean, Karl's territory will accept Yin Yang's doctrine? The Imperial Empire is quite noisy because of this news. ”

“Noisy. It's the moment when the defectors of the empire and the repairman join hands. ”

“What's wrong with that? ”

“Thanks to this, the nobles from Karl can easily advance to the military and the conservative nobles can enter a central regime other than the military under the protection of the Grand Duke. ”

“Isn't that the same thing? You're exchanging seats anyway. ”

“Different. It's synergistic for pushing and pulling. ”

Armida shakes her head.

“What's there to care about? It's a different country anyway. ”

“But it's not about someone else. ”

“Huh?"

“The repairman of the Yosrahim Empire listens to us, Shra. It's a lot to use. ”

“Is that so?"

“Well, that's just a problem with the mainstream faction in the Empire. ”

“What about the alcoholics? ”

“Five to six percent of the forces of light went to the repair team for this. Duke Carr may not have been a mainstream, but he was a force of the same light, so it won't have any effect. ”

Armida tilts her head.

“Maybe the emperor doesn't like it? Emperor Yosrahim believes in the doctrine of light. ”

“There's no such thing. Pretend you don't like it on the outside, but you're gonna love it on the inside. ”

“Why?”

“So far the mainstream has dominated the state, and now the conservatives can control them. It also means that Emperor Yosrahim is gaining power. The emperor doesn't have to be preoccupied by the rise of mainstream political power. ”

Armida rolls her eyes.

“Really?"

“Yes.”

“Oh, I think humans live in complexity. I don't understand how that could happen. ”

“Yeah, that's what politics is all about. ”

Anyway, this incident has given me a deeper understanding of the politics of the empire. I was tired, so I didn't want to do it right away, but it seemed like it would help a lot when the age of destruction was near.

We can deal with the imperial chaos that will arise after Old Cloud.

At that time, if the empire is united, it is good in many ways. We can send a lot of reinforcements to defend Polkin Gateway, as well as fortify the Great Wall of Materia.

The Great Wall of Materia is a 900-kilometer long barrier that crosses the Empire's northern border and Orc territory. It collapsed in vain at the time of its destruction, making it of little use to humanity. This is because the Rebel defenses were so hollowed out that they became meaningless structures.

However, if the empires are united, the story is different. The wall of the Materia Wall is a fairly solid wall that is directly in front of it and has a wall height of 25 meters. With systematic defenses, I was able to hold out for a long time.

‘The surest way to do that is to keep old Cloud alive. ’

If Grandpa Cloud is alive, there will be no rebellion. Honestly, I don't think they're gonna start a rebellion. If we want to live, we all have to stay bent.

Then the meteoric maturity would have lasted that long, and humanity would have survived that long.

Thinking about Grandpa Cloud leaving yesterday, it seemed unlikely at all. It looks like you found a clue for the Soul Master, but I'm looking forward to it.

The only thing that bothers me is that my grandfather's life is short. Five years now. I wondered if Grandpa would make it to the Soul Master in such a short time.

The wagon carrying Shura arrived at the Grand Duke's house, welcomed by the colonists' streets. Helen's aunt, who was at the door, was impressed when she saw Shura coming down and ran out to pay her respects.

“Lady Yingyang. I will never forget the grace of saving my car's family. ”

Shura was embarrassed, and my father and I caught a cough. This lady really believes that.

Shura grabs her hand and picks her up.

“No. God's grace is in the Grand Duchess' house. ”

“Yes, of course. ”

I poked Shura in the side. Actually, there was something I asked her to do.

“Grand Duchess. ”

“Yes?”

“In fact, God's grace comes with a reason. Madame Grand Duke has work to do. ”

“Just tell me. I'll do anything.”

Shra pauses and opens her mouth. She's not very good at deceiving others.

“As an apostle, preach Yin Yang doctrine to the people of the territory of Karl here. ”

“An apostle?”

“Yes. The apostle from behind the Codex of Creation is right. ”

Helen's eyes are wide open.

The apostle was a clergyman preaching the doctrine by the command of the holy woman. It appeared and disappeared during the early days of the human civilization, and was reborn by Aunt Helen today after a long time.

“How could I be so stupid? ”

“Don't say no. It's God's command and destiny. ”

“Yes. I'll take it, then. ”

Aunt Helen marked her permission at the end of her one-time courtesy. I usually go three times, but only once. He was that greedy for an apostle job. It was understandable enough that it was a truly glorious place for the believers.

Anyway, she'll just step back from the political front and be a religious apostle. I realized from what I've been through, Aunt Helen should never have politics. I just want to go forward with my pure heart and faith.

Then we took a day off from the mansion and went on a pilgrimage the next day.

‘Hmm. Well done. ’

Barracks are being built all over the territory. There are countless warehouses going up, and the old fortresses stand firmly refurbished.

It is to provide military facilities and defenses for the next year's battle with Grolmog. Karl's territory should serve as the last supply base in the war.

I didn't see it that way, but you're pretty good. In my day, the funds from the central government were not enough to be wasted, but the manuscript was very clean. You're so clean and diligent, you've done well.

‘If there isn't a war, this is perfect. ’

At the moment, the Yosrahim Empire was building a large military facility near the Great Wall of Meteria in preparation for the war against Orcs. He was gathering vast supplies of war and was preparing for a million regular troops.

If this condition continues into the age of destruction, it will greatly help humanity. We can stop a horde of horseshoes from circling the Orc plains and invading the Prosia continent with a million troops from the beginning.

The only problem was that the economy had a bad impact on the central government's finances, which resulted in tens of millions of Imperial populations, so I thought it would be enough just to maintain its military strength.

‘But I still want to stop the water from rising. ’

Honestly, it doesn't matter whether the army is one million or two million, unless there is a rising tide. In fact, the economy is more turbulent because the military consumes it. Once the money is released on the market.

Then the merchants would make a lot of money, the lives of the people would be better, and the washing would be more and less crowded to maintain an army of a million.

I thought I'd have to find a way to increase production. Increased production will suppress rising water prices, enhance human life, and in times of destruction, massive war supplies will pour out from here.

And there was no way around it. It is the mass production of magical spinner-like objects.

A magical spinner is a machine that uses magical power to automatically produce textiles, with the advantage that a small workforce could produce large quantities of textiles.

It's just that it costs a lot of money to build. Items like the Magic Spinner are difficult to popularize unless the era of destruction in which essence is commonplace comes.

"Oh, my God, everything is blocked by the essence. ’

Again, all problems result in essence. Without essence, I can't do anything I want.

Thanks to this, I was unable to make large volumes of machined iron horses, and had a big impact on the production of horsepower launchers and machete guns. Perhaps the biggest rapid mission at the moment is the acquisition of a large amount of essence.

I drove a horse for a while and stood beside Armida.

“Sister?”

“Why?”

“You know Uruvos who appeared before Divinum. ”

Armida's eyes are slightly sharper. Thinking about that time, he seemed to be furious.

“Yes, but? ”

“What do the humans have to do to get Urubos down from Kronos? I've sent it down a few times. What are the criteria? ”

“What kind of criteria is that? We shouldn't have sent him down there. ”

“But you sent her down, right? ”

“I just sent him down because I was angry. Same thing happened to Nemisona the other day. ”

I froze my chin. I send you down when I'm angry. It was a very ambiguous and clean standard.

“But when does the Valkyrie get angry? ”

Armida's sister looks odd.

“Brother, what are you thinking? ”

“Just, be careful. No matter how hard I try, I have to make sure that doesn't happen again. ”

“Brother, is something fishy? ”

“No, we're just trying to do it right. ”

Armida turns her head to pack.

“I don't know. How do I know what someone else's heart is? ”

“Then can't you get me a list of dirty Valkyries like Nemiso or her? ”

“Brother!”

I had a taste for it. I don't know why you're so grumpy.

It's a shame, by the way. Chronos isn't the best, but it doesn't look easy. Not every time I wanted lottery luck, I came.

‘Maybe we should settle this in the human world first. ’

The world is wide and full of magic. Qasim is heating up the hunt for maritime horses these days, so if we can get the right support, we should be able to obtain a substantial amount of essence.

And there was another place to go. The Northern Orc Meadow, the home of Orcs, and the land of ice above it.

Orcs rarely have a thirst for water. They either hoard Chaos pieces from the hunt or just throw them away. Of course, Orc groups located around the allied Kingdom of Calico trade Chaos Pieces in a barter mode, but not the majority.

By absorbing them, I was able to obtain an enormous amount of essence.

‘I should ask Padilla to trade with the Orcs. ’

Orcs want food and weapons for their trade. I thought Kara would be happy to hand over Chaos Pieces if she brought me Magic Shotgun Launchers and Grains.

“Brother. Looks like we're all here. You can see the long castle there. ”

Armida told me that I woke up from a thought.

Now we have a long, tall wall in front of us. It was a meteorite. It, along with Polkin Gateway, is the lifeblood of humanity's future.

“Yes, there you are. ”

“Then why did you ask to come here? ”

“Sightseeing. The stream of the Meteria overlooking the Wall is worth a look. ”

“Really? When have you been here? ”

“Yeah. I've been here for a while. ”

Later, I wandered around the wall and searched for suitable Holy Land candidates. They were planning to build the largest Yin Yang War in the world.

The reason is simple.

Instead of entering the shrine, there is a large square and a large chapel where pilgrims and pilgrims stay, which can be made into a great barracks. The plaza can be changed to a military cadet trained by soldiers, a pilgrimage to a military residence, and a chapel to a strategic meeting room.

Moreover, if a sanctuary is built here, it will greatly help the alliance between the territory and the Imperial Conservatory. The conservative aristocrats of the empire who left the pilgrimage must have visited the car's territory, because religious exchanges were also active, in addition to the chapter of politics.

I then ordered Shrah to declare the sanctuary in the heart of the defensive zone, and announced plans to build the temple.

Instead of Divinum, he sent a message to the Central Church of the Yingyang Cult to dispatch one paladin and a large force to protect the shrine. That's roughly a thousand. They will play a role in guarding the frontier of the human land during the next year's attack and the coming apocalypse.

I also granted Carr a boat washing license for 10 tons of spices, spices and other specialties in the territory, a year. Permission to give someone after all. It meant operating the temple and improving the territory with the proceeds from here.

The Karl territory is my homeland, and in the age of destruction, it serves as the front-line defense base. I didn't want to hand it over easily to the magicians.
