I returned to Castle Townsend with the magic of moving Katrina's space.

I was reluctant to save the Aeteria all the way back, but I returned with my own satisfaction.

I got rid of the Aetheria for a while. It meant I could lead this civil war on my own for a while, excluding Kronos' influence.

Of course, the problem is that Italy can recover with healing magic and come back, so it was very welcoming for me.

Which means we have another chance to send her away.

And I had my own confidence.

I have discovered the magic of a new faction in the last battle.

It was an attack that leapt beyond the space chamber.

With this skill, Italy was able to withstand combat mode. It can hurt anyway.

But in order to win, I had to make space travel clear with my skills. Accidental techniques don't help you in the fight of the living.

Later, I was stuck on my personal training ground and focused solely on learning how to navigate space.

The only variable I have in this civil war is the exterior that might come back. If I eliminate her, I win.

Wheeing.

The wind blows through the battlefield.

I gently shake my hand, picturing a candle behind a wooden plank holding the lumbar. It was exactly how I felt when I defeated the Itheria.

A candlestick with two pieces of wood splitting apart in an instant. After putting the yoke back into the scabbard, I made a dissatisfied look and headed for the wooden plank.

As I intended, I should have cut down the candlestick, because the wooden planks were cut down together.

However, when we looked closely, it was a reasonably satisfactory result. The front of the plank was cut in one piece, but only the back.

“Good this time. We can keep going. ”

Space charm was a fairly difficult magic technique to control.

The spacing between each cut was different, and there were occasionally times when cutting objects that were much further away than the conscious distance.

Even when you cut a fixed object, you can imagine how hard it is to control when you cut a moving enemy.

But on the bright side, it was very encouraging.

It means you can slaughter enemies no matter the distance if you have control.

“It's a crossroads attack, so the streets are meaningless. ”

Distances exist in space. It means that the distance has nothing to do with jumping over space.

For example, the portal magic or space movement magic could be heard.

These are magic that travels across space, allowing you to travel long distances in an instant.

The same is true of space, and space does not care about distance beyond space. It will only affect the limits of my consciousness.

“Commander Jan! ”

Milton jumps into my training ground. Recently, he was in charge of joining the military.

I wiped the sweat off his face with a dry towel and looked at him.

“We have a magical transmission from Prince Brian. ”

“What did you say? ”

“We've arrived in Cloud Territory and are receiving Lord Refent. ”

I smiled gladly.

If I hold Lord Refent's hand, the trend will harden for me. He had an army of close to 70,000 men. Combined with our troops, it reaches 150,000.

On a scale like that, I will never be outdone by the Royal Air Force. No, if my father moves too carefully, it will increase to 210,000 and surpass the Royal Air Force. The army in Karl's territory has over 60,000 troops.

“Yes. What did Lord Refent say? ”

“As promised, you will leave the rest to us along with the nearby lords and some of the Gangnam lords. ”

“Even the lord of the surrounding area? ”

“Yes.”

It was very encouraging news.

Although the surrounding territories were originally under the Cloud family, some of the coalitions of the southern territories were unexpected.

“You mean Gangnam is starting to move. ”

“Yes, it seems that the propaganda from the Supreme Rufet Air Force and the excessive supply demands from the Gangnam defense forces have spurred their minds. ”

Lately, the Royal Air Force has marched into the barren city through Katrina's absence.

In the past month, 17 castles have already fallen into the air force's siege, and more than that territory has asked the Air Force to negotiate their surrender.

In this hardening yard, Earl Higgs and Earl Mihart plundered the supplies of Gangnam territory in order to maintain the defense forces reaching 150,000, and the lords of Gangnam couldn't help but complain.

Money is also money, but it could have been a huge scourge from Duke Rufet in the future because he provided supplies to the Gangnam defense forces.

“It's time to hit and run. ”

“Yes.”

It was Milton who understands my intentions and strikes back. He was good at office processing, but he was quick to notice.

“Gather everyone together for a meeting. This time, we will summon the Marquis of Chamberlain and the other nobles. Now I eat Gangnam. ”

“Yes!”

As Milton hurriedly left, I glanced around the arena with my regrettable gaze. I haven't mastered the magic of space yet, but I was afraid to leave for Gangnam.

But we have to go now.

If Grand Duke Rufett takes Yosrahim Hwang before me, then the battle with the Air Force that will follow will be very painful. By then, the next generation will be with Duchess Rupert.

The completeness of the space charm was not so bad anyway, so I thought I should focus on eating Gangnam now.

* * *

The large meeting hall is full of nobles.

It was the lords of the Chamberlain, the lords of the Forrince Plains, and the Duke of Jekyll, Erisa, etc.

They call me suddenly, sober, just waiting for me to open my mouth.

“Are you all here? ”

“Yes.”

“Then I'll start an emergency meeting. All right, everybody be quiet. ”

When everyone is silent, the late Chamberlain opens his mouth first.

“Grand Duke. Why have you gathered us? ”

“You've all heard the rumor that the Grand Air Force of Rupert is advancing rapidly towards Hwang Sung. ”

“Yes.”

“So I'm going to pursue the Imperial Gangnam in line with my troops. ”

As if everyone had expected. They also knew that this was the best time to hit Gangnam.

But I didn't have any sense at all. This is because there were 150,000 troops led by Earl Higgs and Earl Mihart in Gangnam who were wandering around like they were chasing after Earl Brian's manoeuvres.

I asked him about the late Chamberlain.

“But there are 150,000 defenders in Gangnam right now. ”

“Yes, I know. ”

“But my guess is that when the sulphur becomes dangerous, they seem to cross the Lumenox and head north to the river. · · · · · · They will value the archipelago of Gangnam and Hwang Sung more than they do here. ”

I nodded. Although Gangnam is a large territory that occupies four halves of the Imperial territory, it could not be more important than Hwang Sung.

Even if we lose Gangnam, the empire will remain, but if we take Hwang Sung, the empire will collapse.

After all, the Gangnam Defenders are wandering around without much work, so it shouldn't be too strange if the Emperor calls them in to defend the Emperor.

“Yes, you can. ”

“Then why? ”

“Earl Mihart and Earl Higgs, when they cross the river north with 150,000 troops, are that burdensome to the Air Force. After all, we are allies of the Air Force, so we must stop them. ”

“Yes, but. ”

I looked at the Marquis of Naasid Chamberlain.

“Earl Chamberlain. ”

“Yes.”

“When this war is over, the erl will have nothing to lose, but nothing to gain. You know, the conversation between us. ”

The agreement between me and the Marquis of Chamberlain was a promise to ensure neutrality, not just a name.

Nevertheless, neutrality can survive a difficult age, but nothing can be gained. We can only guarantee survival from the winners.

“Yes, I know. ”

“What will you do? Will you stay in Gangnam like this? Will you come with me? For your information, the path of peace awaits, but a rather dangerous and glorious future awaits. ”

Earl Chamberlain examines the countrymen's faces. Even though the Marquis is the leader of the forces, I couldn't ignore the opinions of the alliance nobles who believed in him.

“What do you think? ”

“It looks like you'd better get going. ”

The majority of the Chamberlain aristocrats voted in favor.

Katrine, who now supports the Emperor's army, is no more, and the Air Force is marching along with the Northern Lights.

Now that we can also see that the trend has leaned toward us, it's time to bend to me.

“We will also stand by your side. ”

The Lords of the Plain of Forrince continued. They couldn't have known we had a new generation. If they make good use of this opportunity, they will be able to move away from the local forces and enter the center with confidence.

“You thought well. Now, in your future, there will only be light. ”

That's when Erisa walked in.

“Commander Jan. ”

“Why?”

“You'll take Gangnam after you hit the defenders, right? ”

“Right.”

“What are you going to do next? ”

Erisa seemed concerned about my treachery. When I take over Gangnam, I have the power to fight Duke Rufet.

I lift one lip slightly.

“Depends on the will of heaven. ”

“Who is that sky? Is it God, or is it my grandfather, the new emperor? ”

“If your grandfather were emperor, it would be him. ”

“Okay, I'll believe you. ”

As Erisa sat down, I smiled bitterly.

Because Duke Rufet can never be emperor without me. Duke Rufet will kill him with my own hands before he ascends to the Emperor.

I glanced at the bird of prey.

He also greets the Grand Duke. I'm sure you've heard something from Duke Rufet. It's very quiet.

No, I was not focused on the meeting thinking at this important time.

“Bird of the Jack. Do you have anything to say? ”

Zack doesn't answer any questions, as if he's been sold out somewhere. Soon, Erisa presses her thighs together and then raises her head.

“Yes?”

“Is there anything you want to say? ”

“Nothing.”

I narrowed my eyes to the suspicious behavior of the creature.

Jack is a man of great faith in his mission. I was never the one who was going to be distracted elsewhere on the same day.

“Have you been worried lately? ”

“No, I don't. ”

“Are you sure?”

In my repeated questions, the subject took a long sigh.

“Actually, I'm worried about the Gangbuk front. ”

“Why? Gangbuk is better than us. That's why we're also going to Buryburia to keep up with the auxiliaries. ”

“Yes, but. ”

Erisa gives a message of relief to the bird.

“Birch, my father is running the North Bank right now. Don't worry too much. ”

“That's what worries me. ”

“Why? Are you questioning my father's command? ”

The jackal waves his hand.

“That's not what I meant. ”

“Really?"

“I'll speak quietly later. ”

Erisa looks around and nods. This place is full of other alliance nobles. There was nothing good to worry about in front of them.

“Okay."

I looked around at the nobles gathered at the council.

“It's no big deal. As you know, the North River front is flowing in our favor so much that it's no longer good. And don't worry, I'll find out first and stop going to Gangnam. If there's a problem with the Gangnam front, there's no reason for me to go to Gangnam right now. ”

“Yes.”

I followed up on the Operations Conference.

I was going to surround the east and west to suppress the Gangnam defense forces. The forces of the west are the noble army and 10,000 mercenaries gathered here, including me. And the army to the east was more than 12,000 troops led by Birch Brian and Lord Refent.

Of course, splitting the troops like this poses a risk of being defeated individually, but I wasn't so worried. I have a manoeuvre led by Birch Brian.

Even though there are 150,000 defenders in Gangnam, we cannot defeat the maneuvers led by Birkhoff, and even if we defeat the Western forces with me, the maneuvers led by Birkhoff will advance quickly and attract the followers of the Gangnam defenders.

Besides, I had no intention of fighting the Gangnam defenders.

In fact, as the trend gets stronger, they have to choose one of three options: the first to go to war with the Air Force to rebuild the fallen Empire, and the other two to surrender to either Duke Rupert or me.

But surrendering to me, the first and third option, is common.

I am a noble blood heir to the imperial bloodline and intend to work with Duchess Rupert later.

In other words, if they surrender to me, the empire of Josrahim will naturally survive.

They might all be my henchmen, but there was no reason to fight.
