Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans

‘Obviously, I am changing.’

Make fire at the point of your sword,

As if it raised the light from the spire,

A power that is different from the power given by level and magical power is being added.

That’s something the system can’t mark.

That’s probably why the characters are broken.

‘It’s not that the armed force has increased.’

I picked up the Oroko gold coin with three fingers and pressed it hard.

Of course, he didn’t even budge.

‘What has changed is not the body, but the soul.’

I remembered the words I exchanged with Rod.

– Do you know the saying that the closer death gets, the more it goes beyond the senses the body gives?

– As the soul separates from the body, the process by which the senses that were bound to the body bloom.

This is the change I am going through right now.

Death isn’t even close.

The reason is understandable.

‘Iron man, the price of the soul.’

Likewise broken property descriptions.

How far will this change lead?

He tapped the desk with his index finger and narrowed his brows.

“Duke.”

Elder Helmut entered the office.

“Is this a damage report?”

“yes. It’s not an exact number. You see, the damage is so great… it will take time to be certain.”

“I guess so. Roughly?”

“Looking at the trend, it looks like it will be close to 100,000.”

100,000 people.

I pointed to the injured in this incident.

I pressed my temples again.

“For now, focus on repairing the damage.”

“All right.”

Helmut left and I asked for the beginning of the year.

‘It’s close to 100,000.’

What was the population of the Great Plains?

‘Not even 200,000. However, in less than an hour here, half the population of the Great Plains died or were injured.’

There was nothing else to say.

The damage is too big, the damage is too small.

‘Funny, I have to avoid enemies.’

Archbishop Gottlov’s magic was a kind of hallucinatory magic.

It was a hallucination that stimulated fear and faith in the dark to see people as monsters, and the more fearful and deeper the faith, the more it was a magic that drove them into madness.

‘It is a world where there is no one who does not believe in Horvid. It is a world where magic exists and gods exist. The level of faith is incomparable to that of Earth.’

In such an environment, how many people do not fall into madness?

‘I’m sure it took a lot of damage, but considering the situation, it’s small.’

To say that this can only be said with the word, fortunately.

I snorted because I was dumbfounded.

‘I guess I didn’t like it very much. Looking at what they’ve done this far.’

It was magic that cost a lot of money.

The jewel that the archbishop took contained a part of Horvid’s soul, and even that was not enough, so thousands of followers had to sacrifice their souls.

The soul was used as an expendable item just to activate one magic.

‘Does it hate me to the point of devoting my soul to it, or is it that I can’t make a normal judgment?’

I bit on a cigarette and smoked three or four times in succession.

Smoking did not relieve the headache.

The fatigue I’m experiencing right now is the blood of the soul.

Instead, the smell of blood that covered the mansion was slightly less.

This is the place where the uproar happened just a few hours ago.

Even after the blood was removed, the smell remained strong.

‘You have to assume that I can’t make a normal judgment.’

Some souls are souls.

Using souls as consumables?

Can I be a mortal enemy?

I’d rather see that my judgment is clouded and I’m throwing it away.

Indeed, there was evidence to support such an inference.

‘The magic that attacked me right after Horvid’s magic disappeared.’

The darkness I pushed back with the fire I raised from the tip of Calliope’s sword.

Similar to Tiamar’s magic, but not hers.

It can be seen as the magic that surrounds her.

Just as the light of my soul wraps around the body of my family in darkness.

That magical power is the cause of the corruption surrounding Tiamar.

From noble mtl dot com

‘I thought it was over with the setting, but it wasn’t.’

I recalled the background setting in my memory.

‘The cause of Tiamar’s fall.’

“…”

I got up from my chair and looked out the window.

Evening came and darkness fell on the city.

It was not magical power, but darkness brought by nature, but citizens came out on the road, lit a bonfire, and sat around it.

It reminds me of what I’ve been through in the dark, and it’s scary.

‘It’s only about sticking out your head for a moment. If I had been able to truly project power, it wouldn’t have ended there. It must have been that the archbishop’s earnestness touched some of it. Because I have Horvid and the soul of a follower. The scent of the soul he likes attracted him.’

I put out the smoked cigarette and sat down again.

‘Yes, it’s not yet time for him to be active.’

Not yet.

I swallowed the afterword.

smart···

Rachel came in.

“are you busy?”

“no. What happened?”

She placed a bowl full of peanuts on the desk.

“If it’s okay, I thought we could talk.”

I motioned for a chair, picked up peanuts, and cracked them one by one.

“The soldiers at the garrison decided to follow my father.”

I nodded.

What to do if you don’t follow

The Duke of Sudret is dead, and I am the only one with the right of succession.

To put it bluntly, there are several relatives left behind, but they are meaningless.

Because their influence is inferior to Helmut’s.

How dare you claim the title of duke?

Of course, the first to swear allegiance.

“Are you going to drive to the capital like this?”

“okay. Occupy the capital and take the throne.”

“It’s fast. Were you aiming for an opportunity that Germania couldn’t prepare for?”

I shook my head.

“Germania must have already prepared. The church government was trying to keep me in check to the point of using Horbide’s soul, but I wonder if they issued a convocation order.”

“Ah, I guess. It was easy to go, but… in the end, I have to stick together.”

“Because you won’t be able to avoid a fight with persuasion anymore.”

I should show more than just defeating the knights of Sudret.

“What next? Wouldn’t that end there?”

“end? It’s a start.”

Would it be the end if Germania was not a city-state, but had its capital city taken over and even its throne taken away? Even Sudret has countless territories and vassals?

“Wolf Cult members and those supported by the different races will rise up. It’s not over until we catch them all.”

“It’s a mole catcher.”

“right. It’s not easy and it will take a long time. Conquering Germania itself would be easy and quick, but a lot of small and troublesome things will continue for a long time.”

Because Germania has a deep relationship with different races as much as its long history, and is the only country in contact with the Church, the home of the Wolf Church.

The further west the capital is, the more west the religion is, the stronger the resistance will be.

“So, as soon as possible, as many as possible, we must destroy the relationship and faith with the alien race from humans.”

“yes.”

“I will return right after I get the throne of Germania. You will be the only one left in Germania for a while. Your responsibility is great, can you do it?”

“Me?”

“There is only you. Because things are getting worse.”

Tok, tok, tok

I looked out the window

A kite knocked on the window.

– I did as ordered.

“What orders?”

“Sejak.”

I instructed Sejak to publicize today’s events.

Since Grif’s three sons are active all over Germania, he ordered them to spread all about what happened in the city today.

“Wouldn’t it have been better not to tell you what happened today? Knowing that Kyoguk came out to such an extreme, I think there will be more people who will say that we should follow Kyoguk more.”

“No, it would be more surprising that Horvid lost to me. It is only natural that God punishes. But it is no wonder that I defeated the bee.”

Those who follow with faith have the same attitude.

However, those who follow Lee Yoon will notice.

– Mr. Edar, you must return as soon as you get the throne.

“Is it serious?”

– The provocation level is rising. It’s an atmosphere that will come soon. We will not disband without incident after mobilizing so many.

I thought for a while as I tapped the desk with my index finger.

An extreme response to the point of using Horbid’s soul.

The possibility that the orcs gathered at the border will come down is not low.

“Issuing an evacuation order at your discretion. You may vacate all settlements except Olymus. The important thing is people, and there is only one Olymus.”

– All right.

I tapped the desk with my index finger and pondered for a while before asking.

“Where is Gehard?”

– I am marching almost non-stop. It should arrive soon.

“Let’s say we join in the capital. I will wait there.”

He even contemplated whether to turn Gerhard’s army to the Great Plains.

However, it was clear that looking back would not mean much.

Most of the soldiers were mercenaries hired from Wallochia, and the number was also during the civil war, so there was a high demand here and there, so we couldn’t gather many.

Even more so, if the opponent was of a different race, there was a high possibility that it would be a hindrance due to a decrease in morale.

I said firmly to Grif.

“Never overdo it. Make it your top priority to hold on until I go. I will definitely go back.”

– Don’t worry. will i die?

The kite chirped loudly.

I chuckled and picked up the peanuts.

And the car that was about to peel again,

[Waiting time has been reset.]

[Time remaining until next use: None.]

[You can use the clan creation skill.]

[Do you want to use it?]

Creates 4 clans per day.

It is not possible to create 4 followers at once.

It must be activated as soon as the standby time is reset.

Otherwise, the passing time is wasted time.

‘If Vlad’s ring hadn’t energized me, I would have had to wake up.’

I laughed inside again.

What will happen if time gets shorter in the future?

What if it was in minutes rather than hours?

I probably won’t have time to sleep.

‘I have a ring, and as my soul grows, so does my body’s influence on me. Sooner or later, there will come a day when I don’t sleep.’

It is very strange to escape human beings.

It’s neither good nor bad, it just feels like something is changing.

Shall we say that the limits tied to the body are gradually disappearing?

‘I hope a member of my family who can only use strength comes out.’

I took out a new tobacco from the tobacco pack and used the skill while holding it.

ping-

A rare light broke out.

Purple light spread in all directions, then turned to gold.

I jumped up because I had been through this twice before.

The kite eating the peanuts I peeled and Rachel looking out the window in a daze.

I was surprised at the same time and saw a golden light drawing a circle.

iron lord

Skadi

[management]

This characteristic is given to those who have professional management skills such as administrative, judicial, and business management.

————————————

A woman who remains in the place where the light has disappeared.

She stood crookedly and scanned her surroundings with red eyes.

The kite, passing through Rachel, paused from me, and then into my hand.

Seeing the tobacco in her hand, she raised the corners of her mouth.

“You’re smoking pretty good stuff. father.”

Iron Chancellor, Skadi

I saw my smiling companion coveting my tobacco.

‘Iron Prime Minister.’

‘Even the characteristics are perfect for the tinnitus.’

I looked at the status window and moved my gaze to her.

The most notable thing about her appearance is her tall height.

He was tall enough to match me.

To the extent that Rachel standing next to her looked like a child.

‘It wouldn’t be suitable for battle.’

Looking at his nickname and characteristics, he is a typical bureaucrat.

Just as Pasimea can wield magic but is not professional, an S-class, level 90 base will certainly have the power to beat a fairly high level, but it will be difficult to show overwhelming activity.

‘What I needed right away was a combat-specialized member, but this side is also good in its own way.’

Isn’t there a saying that you can’t rule the world on a horse?

After conquering Germania, the system must be overthrown.

Because Griff, Gerhard, Pasimea, and Rachel couldn’t just leave the duties that were given to them as acting lords, governors, or manufacturing managers as temporary measures.

‘I said I would dismantle the feudal system.’

For now, I understand the reality, so I accept the vassalage under Duke Sudret as it is, but if I have the time, I will erase the feudal lord as it does in the Great Plains and Northern Wallochia.

And in place of the disappearance of feudal lords, a centralized bureaucracy will be planted in place of bureaucrats who receive orders and green salaries from the central government.

‘To do so, what I need is an administrator who can understand my plan and has the ability to realize it.’

‘Even with a few issues, things are going smoothly. The number of members created has also increased from 4 to 6 every day, and the number of people with skills suitable for management will increase as well.’

I saw Skadi, the Iron Chancellor.

smile

When she met my eyes, she smiled.

Red eyes like the color of your hair.

Eyes resembling a rod, like a snake.

The corner of the mouth is raised there and a smile is seen, the eyes looking at the prey.

I smiled and handed her the tobacco.

“Will you smoke one?”

“Good.”

Skadi lit a cigarette with his index finger.

“You know how to use magic.”

“little bit. I can’t write well. Please refrain from engaging in combat as much as possible.”

She pulled out a chair and sat down in front of me.

He rested his chin on his left hand and held a cigarette in his right hand.

He looked at me in a very crooked position.

‘Father, this person is a little spoiled.’

Rachel frowned and glared at Skadi’s back of the head.

“You can hear everything.”

Startle

Rachel turned her head.

Red eyes glared at her.

The eyes of a snake looking at a rabbit must be like this.

Skadi turned her head and let out a long puff of smoke.

“I am Skadi. As you probably already know.”

She put down the cigarette and picked up the peanuts I had peeled.

“Iron Chancellor, that is my nickname. The talents you have are also suitable for management. If you are or wish to be a lord or higher, you will have to moderate me. Otherwise, you will be wasting a lot of time.”

A tone that oozes pride.

Rachel looked at her from behind with a huh expression.

“My father knows me, but I don’t know him.”

“Tell me about me,” his red eyes flashed.

I put down the tobacco and looked into each other’s eyes.
