Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans

Should I humiliate you?

He didn’t say anything behind the scenes, but he must have understood the meaning.

If I made up my mind, it was possible to return the thunderbolt or storm that he called, so there was no way he didn’t know that the reason for not doing so was to negotiate with him.

Burr…

Sumontema trembled with humiliation.

However, there was no rush to eat in anger.

‘There are three kingdoms of Lizardmen. Similarly, three incarnations. The three incarnations have different personalities and are at odds with each other. Sumontema is the most timid among them.’

Unlike the other two incarnations, he is a guy who can communicate. No, it’s because he’s a guy who needs to do things like this rather than being able to communicate.

A timid person won’t play unless he’s certain of winning or losing.

Sumonthema must have realized it by now.

that it does not overwhelm me in power.

“Tell me again. free the humans I will pay the price.”

I saw the army lined up behind Sumontema.

The group of Lizardmen, which seemed to be the Royal Guard, numbered around 6,000.

Bondi was a small number of Royal Guards, and even considering that the lowest level was 40 and the highest was 70, the number was really small. It must be because the main force went to Vlad’s Mycenae Empire.

It was an opportunity to destroy a country that had maintained the Samgang system for thousands of years and to eat rice cakes. Can I not participate?

‘If I don’t have a gunpowder weapon, it’s a power I can’t win.’

An expeditionary force of 60,000 regular troops.

Among them, there are a little over 700 people in the family.

To fight 6,000 Lizardmen with these incarnations?

Even if you win, you take massive damage. God’s power is a scary thing, wasn’t Horvid descending darkness or creating monsters even in the fight against the Kingdom?

What if the lizardmen were blessed like that and rushed?

‘That’s why he must have judged that he could beat me despite his lack of numbers.’

But I had my family and gunpowder weapons.

If you mobilize artillery and musketeers against enemies who have not experienced gunpowder weapons, you can easily defeat them. Conversely, it wasn’t easy to say, but if you keep spinning like this, you will win unconditionally.

But what if you win?

If you win, what will you do after that?

Are the 6,000 Lizardmen in front of you a full force of Lizardmen?

Are you sure you can kill Sumontema? If I kill him, will Theokal Kingdom surrender? Or will there be no war with other kingdoms?

‘It is certain that they will suffer considerable damage if they undergo a rotation, and it is certain that the main force that went on an expedition to the Mikena Empire will return. Before I clear the human ranch, I’ll face Theocal’s entire army, so I can handle it?’

It is a problem no matter how you conquer Theokal.

There were two more kingdoms of equal national power.

If you fight the other two kingdoms as well, what is the difference between conquering the three kingdoms of Lizardmen with 8,000 muskets and 700 followers?

In the first place, one of the reasons I started the expedition now was because the three kingdoms were empty fighting the Mycenae Empire. Because power is empty, it is easy to force negotiations.

‘That’s why I occupied the fortress, provoked Sumontema, offset the disaster he caused, and showed that I am equal to him.’

If you compete with me, you’ll see blood, right?

If you know how to roll your head even a little, you can never do it.

###

‘Is there a reason why the Great Emperor left him alone?’

Sumonthema thought to himself.

I’ve heard the story about a human called Edar.

A human who obtained the ninth place in the representative system with three chi tongues.

A human who is still alive even after threatening to burn the World Tree.

The man he had heard and casually called a madman was now standing in front of him.

‘Damn it.’

swallowed saliva

he was an incarnation

An incarnation of a god dwelling in the body.

He had a huge soul from birth, and was able to handle the magic of the soul as the subjects of Theokal Kingdom served him.

That individual’s power was weaker than that of elves, dwarves, and even Vlad, the emperor of vampires, but because he handled the magic of the soul based on faith, not the magic of nature, on the outside, he was as strong as them.

So why don’t you have any pride?

‘You mean his soul is the same as mine!’

I let out a scream close to screaming inside.

I don’t know why, but Edar was hiding his power.

I was suppressing the energy that naturally flowed from my soul.

Because of that, Sumontema didn’t notice until right before the thunderbolt struck. That Edar is the owner of a soul of the same level or higher than him.

‘It doesn’t feel like I forcibly pushed my magic power. My body wouldn’t have been able to stand it if I had forced it. But look at that figure. That figure looking down at me as if nothing happened…’

I wasn’t afraid of humans, whether it was 100,000 or 200,000.

Even though he sent a large-scale expedition to hunt down vampires, Sumontema had his own guards by his side, and he was confident that they would annihilate the human group enough.

However, when the basis of his pride was broken, he was unable to make a decision. He was not prepared to give orders to kill humans or slaughter invaders.

I wonder if it was the other two kings.

He had no intention of participating in a fight in which a sure victory, a complete victory, was not guaranteed. Even if he fights here and wins, if the damage is great, the winner will be the other two kings, not him.

“mmm…”

An old man approached him, who was looking uncomfortable.

“majesty.”

He answered without turning his head.

“Speak.”

“Just say you’ll give it to a human.”

“what?”

I turned my head and looked at the old man.

Even when he saw the old man’s frown, he said calmly.

“Hand over the humans of the ranch to him, and put a condition on him instead. ‘While I’m bringing the humans from the ranch, you go see the work with the other two kings.’ I mean.”

“for a moment.”

Sumonthema raised a hand to interrupt the conversation.

“Are you saying that you two should hand over that human?”

“That’s right. We don’t have to fight with him, do we? Apparently, he doesn’t want an all-out war with us either. If you wished, wouldn’t you have already spun?”

“hmm.”

“So tell me. If you rescue a human from the other two kings, I will free the human ranch in Theokal.”

The human ranch was not unique to Theokal. The ranches in the other two kingdoms were several times as large as Theocal’s.

If the Imperium of Man had come to save all humans, it would inevitably have to visit the two kingdoms.

“If you ask me why, if he shrewdly saves Theocal’s humans and leaves, then you’ve deceived Your Highness, so you can just leave saying that you can’t trust him.”

“indeed. If the Empire truly came to save all three kingdoms’ humans, they would accept it, and if it only targeted Theokal’s humans, they would reject it.”

“That’s right.”

There was no need to actually gather humans.

All he had to do was pretend to bring a human from the ranch.

Why? The other two kings won’t let the invaders go.

“Other kings are different from you. Since they do not know the concept of concession, a collision will inevitably occur, and what damage will it do to Your Highness?”

Even if a human wins, the damage will be great, and even if the two kings win, the damage will be great. Seeing the extent of the damage, Sumonthema could have swallowed the two kings or aimed at Edar, who suffered great damage.

“But, doesn’t he know this?”

“What would you do if you knew? Is there any other way?”

“that’s right. There is no other way.”

Sumontema patted his knee and nodded.

He handed over the proposal to Edar as it was.

Edar accepted without hesitation.

“good night. Ranch in Theokal. I will give you all the humans I have. When you return through the two kingdoms.”

Instead you will have to fight two kings.

Sumonthema’s eyes said so.

“I will.”

But Edar was calm.

Instead, a smile formed on his lips.

I expected Sumonthema’s proposal.

‘Why did I find you first among the three? because you are the easiest I found you because I can capture the other two if you are greedy.’

I crossed Theocal’s territory while being escorted by Sumontema. It was kind of like getting permission to enter the territory, which gave me a huge advantage, and that advantage was the reason I targeted Theokal in the first place.

A mountain range southeast of Theokal.

The mountain range is so cold and high that the highest peak is 4,900m and there is a glacier on the mountain, but if you cross this place, you can reach a big city right away.

That is my second destination.

It was the capital of the second Lizardmen kingdom, Uakan.

###

“Are you going to cross the mountain range?”

Theokal’s king and incarnation, Sumontema, asked back.

He followed, wary of the imperial army passing through the kingdom, and laughed when I told him that I would cross the Spra Mountains and go to the capital of the Uakan Kingdom.

“Are you saying this knowing how steep that mountain is?”

know. can you not know

Higher than the highest peak of the Alps, there is a glacier on top of the mountain, and it is a heavenly fortress where not even a single lizardman has crossed. So it must be absurd to hear that I will cross that mountain.

But I was able

Because I’ve already gone through it several times.

I remembered it so clearly that I didn’t even need a guide.

“It is said that you humans are less sensitive to temperature changes than we are, but it is reckless. go somewhere else now Advice from my generosity.”

Sumontema stopped me.

If the imperial army died in vain, there would be no benefit. It was because he wanted them to collide with other kingdoms while maintaining full power as much as possible.

I firmly took the advice.

“My advice will come to mind only after greed has gone awry. human.”

Sumonthema growled, looking uncomfortable.

“Everyone said so.”

As the guy said, crossing the mountain range is not an easy task.

Why is the title “Over the Alps” emphasized even though great masters such as Hannibal, Suvorov, and Napoleon have achieved numerous achievements?

Since the military maneuver itself to cross the mountain range is very hard, it is to praise the ability and will to overcome the hardship.

“There will be quite a few non-combat losses.”

Military Minister Gerhard and Army Chief Jekt also warned.

“I guess so. However, it must be overcome.”

Hannibal, who had crossed the Alps, lost about half of his army, while Suvorov and Napoleon had less, but suffered considerable damage. But did they cross the mountain range without knowing?

While anticipating the damage, he crossed the mountain range because he knew the benefits beyond that. So did I.

“If you pass from Teokal to Huacan through the border where the fort is, the same thing will happen over and over again. As in Theokal, you must occupy the border forts and wait for the enemy leader to come. This kind of thing only works for Sumontema.”

I knew the character of Sumonthema and the other two incarnations.

The Sumontema I knew was not the type to start an all-out war just because a border fort had been captured. On the contrary, they will feel threatened by my actions in occupying the fortress and try to approach them cautiously.

However, the other two incarnations were different.

Unlike Sumontema, as soon as he realized the appearance of the imperial army, he recalled the expeditionary force in the Mycenae Empire and had a personality that was enough to fight an all-out war.

“All-out war must be avoided. But a show of force at the border, as was done at Theokal, will lead to full-scale war.”

How about aiming for the heart of the enemy, the capital of the kingdom of Uakan?

What if it drives away without even having time to recall the expeditionary force?

“If you press the palace rather than a distant border, the enemy has no time to respond. We should be able to bring our opponents to the negotiating table with the upper hand.”

Didn’t Sonwu say it in the law of war?

The best victory is to win in advance and fight.

It’s great to overturn an impossible fight and win. But it’s more important not to make a fight impossible to win. Or make a game that can win overwhelmingly.

Even if you win the battle, what is the value if the damage is great?

“There was a time when I never doubted that I was safe beyond those mountains. They don’t know that we quarreled with Theokal, and they don’t know that we’ll come before them.”

Imagine that an army suddenly appeared in front of the capital one day.

Even if that number reaches 60,000?

What do you think?

“No matter how strong your temper, you wouldn’t dare to fight.”

So, I crossed the mountain range with 60,000 imperial troops.

“It’s cold, it’s cold…”

The cold of the snow-capped mountains.

“be careful! It slips!”

A natural path untouched by human hands.

An army of 60,000 men, excluding supply units, had to pass through it.

It would have been better if there were only people, but they crossed the mountain range dragging military supplies, including siege guns weighing in tons.

“Let the wind subside.”

I opened the way by using the magic of the soul.

After clearing the blizzard of late spring, I crossed the mountain range, following the road that remains clear in my memory.

As a result, non-combat losses were less than 10%, and it took less than 10 days to cross the mountain range.

“Occupy the city at the beginning. Half a day’s drive from here is the capital of Huacan. There is a lot of traffic between the two bases, so if you leave it alone, they will immediately notice our presence.”

As soon as they crossed the mountain range, they occupied a small town at the mouth of the mountain.

As soon as you come down from the mountain, the day becomes warm, so it was a city built by using the mountain range as a fortress. However, because of this, the defense was poor, so when they entered with their people at the forefront, there was no resistance at all.

“Once the occupation of the city is over, the musketeers will first descend and go directly to the enemy’s capital. The follow-up troops will be led by Ject and follow.”

“Are you going to attack with only musketeers?”

“It will take several days for the artillery and spearmen to descend. That’s enough time for the enemy to notice our presence. Then there is no surprise effect.”

I led an advance party of 9,000 people, including my followers and musketeers, and headed for the capital of Uakan. Perfectly caught the enemy off guard.

The situation that the imperial expeditionary force did not even receive the news that it appeared in Theokal. However, since the human army arrived right in front of the capital, the shock would be multiplied.

dang— dang—

The city that I sent my familiar to witness was chaos itself.

Citizens who were going about their daily lives without knowing the approach of the Imperial Army tilted their heads at the sound of the bell from the spire, and soon the guards shouted, ‘The enemy! It’s human!’ I cried out and widened my eyes.

“Human! A human army has appeared!”

I heard screams mixed with the bell through my familiar’s ears.

Citizens within the city screamed and hid in their homes, while those outside the city froze at the sight of the rising Imperial army on the horizon.

The city was in such chaos that the imperial army was a long way from approaching the gate. Even though there were countless citizens outside the city, the city gates were locked.

“Open it!”

“You couldn’t get in!”

Citizens who could not enter outside the gates cried out.

“Are you going to surround me?”

“no. Gather at the front gate and wait.”

The only forces that reached the capital were his subordinates and musketeers.

If the number is less than 10,000, how can they besiege a city with nearly a hundred times as many citizens? They didn’t even have siege equipment.

“Gehard remains here and commands the army. If the enemy attacks, or shows signs of attacking while I am away, respond boldly.”

“All right.”

I led Calliope and the guards near the gate.

As at Theokal’s frontier fortress, every attack was made against me, but was stopped by Calliope. After a while, when I realized the futility of the enemy and calmed down, I said.

“I am Edar Lundlingen, Emperor of the Human Empire. I have come to meet and talk with your King Coamick, so open the door.”

The enemy was silent for a moment, then tried to shout at me.

“It’s not funny—”

– Let it in!

A voice that rings in your head.

It was a voice emanating from the magic of the soul.

The defenders on the ramparts flinched and shut their mouths.

You may want to curse at me, but you cannot disobey my master. They hesitantly opened the gate slowly.

###

I moved to the palace while being surrounded by Wukan’s soldiers.

As I remember, the city of Lizardmen was like a kind of anthill, so the class belonging to the workers had to go around busily. However, it was eerily quiet.

There were hardly any people on the road.

Who would think this city is the capital of a kingdom?

‘Because no race other than Lizardmen would have ever led an army to this city. It’s to be wary of me.’

Not to mention, am I not a human being treated as a livestock?

A worker-class citizen hid inside the building and spyed on me. Those on the road are only human slaves left behind and unable to hide along with their masters.

The slaves looked up blankly at me passing in front of me.

“…”

The atmosphere in the palace was brutal.

The moment I entered the throne room, the king’s bodyguards lined up on either side of the throne room were intent on killing me as I walked among them.

【Lv. 83]

【Lv. 81]

But I didn’t feel anything.

He was no longer an ordinary human being, and had iron man traits. I just knew by feeling that strong momentum was coming out and putting pressure on Calliope and the guards.

“A monkey…”

Some of the SS, outraged by my indifferent reaction, withdrew their feet. With her hands on her hips and her intent to kill, she was ready to cut me down if the need arises.

Because now I didn’t have a few escorts.

It would have seemed good to kill or oppress me.

“Don’t do anything stupid.”

However, the guards did not set foot.

Just as they had taken their steps, Calliope saw them.

Her cool eyes trembled as she glanced once.

It seemed belatedly that she realized that the spirit she exuded overwhelms the murderous intentions of the SS. It wasn’t easy to read the lizards’ expressions, but I could read the bewilderment on their faces.

“Back off.”

【Lv. 90]

Coamic, the incarnation of Uakan who was sitting on the throne, said.

The guards lowered their heads and stopped walking.

I set up an escort and stood in front of Coamic.

“What did you do, human?”

what a trick

I waited for the right question to come out.

“How did you get to this city?”

“It’s a question where the word ‘without being caught by me’ is omitted.”

Koamik looked down at me without saying a word.

You wouldn’t have heard anything from the border.

You must be wondering how the hell did the army come to the capital?

“Sumontema opened the way.”

“Are you Sumontema?”

Comic blinked.

It was a question that was still unanswered.

“But, even if he opens the way, the border is—”

From noble mtl dot com

“Border refers to the boundary that divides the territory of a country from a country. Is there a law that the boundary must be a fortress? There are rivers and there are mountains, aren’t there?”

“mountain? Did you cross the mountain range?”

Instead of answering, I smiled.

Koamic muttered, “This is nonsense.”

However, you will realize that there is no other way.

I forgot to speak for a while.

“…what is the purpose? Why did you come to see me?”

“You should already know.”

“You are human.”

“okay. I want to buy a human from you. You have a ranch, and you know how to oil humans there. Also, I know that you are selling humans for a high price.”

“…”

“Sumontema promised to hand over humans to me. What will you do, Koamic?”

Koamik frowned deeply.

Originally, he would have threatened me that he would never do it.

He would have tried to kill me by threatening me like Sumonthema.

But now he was not prepared for anything.

“···good night. don’t sell But not all.”

I replied that I would only sell half.

I snorted.

“I want all the humans you serve.”

“Can not be done. In the first place, I planned to dispose of half of the humans. Unlike the others, I had no intention of disposing of even the bottom line. Even if the transaction partner is not you.”

“Even if I offer good conditions?”

“Under any conditions.”

Comic said.
