New World (1)

“So, in the end, it means we have to persuade them.”

“It’ll be simpler than Dad thinks.”

“Why?”

“Because the Empire is collapsing. And what people need most right now is survival, and Dad can provide that!”

“Oho.”

Rumble, rumble!

The surroundings stir.

No one could refute Sujeong’s words.

What is the most prioritized desire for humans?

There may be a desire for wealth, or a desire for procreation. Also, appetite cannot be left out.

But the greatest of them all is survival.

Once you die, you can’t do anything. Everyone wants to live and doesn’t want to die.

‘Is this the principle of all things?’

Since no one wanted death, Sujeong said that I had the most powerful force.

“Okay. Then let’s bring the nobles.”

“Okay!”

Soon, it was decided to persuade the nobles in this area.

The nobles began to gather.

Count Amon, Count Luyan, and Marquis Arden.

Count Amon’s territory was burned down, but Count Luyan and Marquis Arden had considerable territories on the frontier.

Having a frontier territory meant that it would be quite easy to expand into the land occupied by the Undead.

In other words, having at least the territories on the Imperial border was essential for future power struggles.

Even if we reached a resolution, I didn’t think that all the nobles of the Empire would turn away. Of course, they would welcome an army that kills enemies, but if it became known that the army was seizing power and embedding itself in the Empire, the probability of war would be high.

Of course, the human army can be stopped. It can be pushed back with overwhelming force.

In the future, there may be a situation where we occupy by force, but such things can be considered later.

Not long after, the three nobles entered the barracks.

The atmosphere inside the barracks was somewhat serious, so the three nobles were quite intimidated. In particular, they seemed even more intimidated because they knew we were the Heavenly Army.

Who will initiate this issue first?

Surprisingly, Sujeong spoke first.

“Have you ever dreamed of a new empire, uncles?”

“Pardon?”

“What do you mean by that…….”

“I’m asking what you think of the current Empire.”

Sujeong passed the baton to me.

I was agonizing over how to speak, but since Sujeong started, it was right for me to handle the rest.

Since I would be the emperor of the Empire anyway, it was right for Sujeong to play a supporting role.

“The Empire… is corrupt.”

“Corrupt?”

“To be exact, it’s divided. Everyone should unite and drive out the demons first, but after the current emperor fell, they are showing rapid signs of division. The central army has been partially withdrawn, so they are rapidly being pushed back.”

“Marquis Arden is right. The current Empire does not have the power to overcome the crisis facing humanity.”

He was criticizing very coolly.

Even if they didn’t say it, the nobles had a lot of pent-up feelings. They couldn’t possibly look favorably on the power-hungry individuals even in the face of humanity’s imminent extinction.

Now is the time for me to step in.

“Then, have you ever thought about a new empire?”

“……!”

Emotions stirred.

I figured that all sorts of thoughts would flash through their minds now.

A new empire meant overthrowing the current power structure and establishing a new dynasty.

Arden said, sweating profusely.

“That’s an impossible dream. In the capital of the Empire, they don’t fight directly, so the nobles have fat in their bellies, but the nobles at the front always had to risk their lives on the front lines. Also, the nobles with the strongest military power have territories at the front, so there was no room to get involved in power struggles.”

“What if the conditions are right? If we can stop the demons from advancing, if we have the ability to maintain a two-front war.”

“If such a Heavenly Army sets its mind to it, it is something to think about.”

“Good. Then think about it.”

“Yes?”

“I also think that the Empire won’t work as it is. We need to build up power anew. The Empire is corrupt, divided, and has lost its power. It is better for a new dynasty to be established before it collapses further.”

“Hmm!”

“A new dynasty!”

It was something that no one had ever thought of.

Establishing a new dynasty in the midst of this. If done wrong, humanity could be wiped out. But that depends on how you think about it.

“I’ll give you an answer by morning.”

“Then step back.”

The nobles bow and step back.

Calvern, who had been watching the nobles from the side, expressed concern.

“Master. Won’t they contact the regent?”

“I don’t think so.”

“I’m a little worried, though.”

“Maybe they’ll see it as an opportunity.”

“Grandpa! Dad is right!”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah! So don’t worry too much.”

Sujeong smiled brightly.

Everyone was worried, but Sujeong was indifferent. It was because she believed without a doubt that things would go according to her will.

Count Amon and Count Luyan visited Marquis Arden’s barracks.

Now they were facing a major decision.

Everyone had a serious expression on their faces. Today, they received a notice from the Heavenly Army. It was a very huge notice.

The Heavenly Army was trying to establish a new empire here.

This would normally be treason and a critical matter that could lead to the destruction of humanity.

But the Heavenly Army assured that they would stop the demon front.

The nobles who had seen their skills so far judged that it was possible enough.

Marquis Arden opened his mouth.

“The Empire is corrupt.”

“It would be better to express it as hopeless.”

“Yes. It has endured for hundreds of years, but no empire lasts forever. Isn’t it the nature of humans to repeat alliances and separations?”

“If a Holy Empire is established…”

“A Holy Empire!”

They were thinking of the Holy Vivian Empire.

A country ruled by the Heavenly Army.

The goddess Vivian swept away the demons and sent an army to help humanity reborn. The prophet was in command of the army, sweeping away the enemies from the frontier.

If it’s the Heavenly Army, it’s possible.

Count Amon said.

“I don’t have an army or a territory, but I’ll say one thing.”

“What do you mean? If it weren’t for you, Marquis Arden’s territory would have been occupied and lost a long time ago, too.”

“That’s what Your Excellency [referring to Marquis Arden] said.”

“Your Excellency. This is an opportunity. You must know that too.”

“An opportunity!”

“Yes. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We can seize this opportunity and move forward.”

Anyone would have made that decision.

Rather than holding on to a collapsing empire, it is better to open a new world. Thus, to eradicate corruption and be reborn as a true Holy Empire.

They made a decision.

“Still, let’s think about it until tomorrow morning.”

“I will.”

They said this, but they decided to go back to the barracks and sleep soundly.

After making the decision, they couldn’t feel more refreshed.

Four moons were shining brightly.

It was a truly brilliant sight, but in fact, it could have been a planet rather than those moons. The Karen continent was a satellite [a celestial body orbiting a planet].

Just because it is a satellite does not mean that the environment is not suitable for humans to live in. Even on Earth, they were finding planets and satellites with environments similar to Earth.

I came out of the barracks with Sujeong.

Today, too, I am going out to train.

Sujeong rubbed her slightly sleepy eyes and said.

“Dad. Now we need to bring in Earth’s weapons.”

“Earth’s weapons?”

“Yeah. It’s going to be difficult with reconnaissance alone. We might have to fight the Empire and the demons at the same time. A two-front war. But if we have modern military weapons, wouldn’t we be able to sweep them away easily?”

“Hmm. That’s true.”

“Weapons are essential for Sujeong’s plan!”

“Are you talking about a properly trained army?”

“Yeah!”

It’s easy to say.

Arming the army with cold weapons was excused by the movie, but properly arming them with modern chemical weapons was a different matter.

“I don’t know if that’s possible in Korea.”

“Wouldn’t it be enough to know the president? It would be good to know the Minister of National Defense and the Prime Minister.”

“If we tell them about this place.”

“If we’re going to sell the crafts here, Earth might find out someday. And they say they’re doing dimensional trade, so would the president try to stop it? If necessary, we can just bring him here.”

“…….”

Sujeong was having a very bold idea. Bringing the president of Earth here?

It is truly an amazing idea.

But as Sujeong said, in order to go beyond maintaining a two-front war and aggressively pressuring them, the help of the modern army was essential.

If only the Minister of National Defense and a few instructors come over and train the androids, they will be reborn as a great modern army.

No, beyond the modern army, a multi-purpose army will be born.

“I have no choice.”

“Shall Sujeong go with you?”

“Hey. You always have to be with me.”

“Hehe. I wanted to command the army once.”

“You’ll get to command the army to your heart’s content, so move with Dad.”

“Okay!”

I stroke Sujeong’s head.

I don’t know how such strategies come out of this little head.

Is it because my genes are so excellent?

The next morning.

I woke up to Calvern’s call.

“Master. You need to come to the conference room right away.”

“Has the time already come?”

“Yes.”

Yesterday, Sujeong was able to fill most of the circles [referring to a level of magical attainment].

It was already a world full of mana enough to feel a thick energy, but here, we opened a gate to Amon’s territory where the undead had died in groups. The efficiency was enormous when we installed a magic circle there and trained.

In other words, Sujeong reached the perfect 5th circle.

I get up and stretch once.

“They came?”

“Yes! They said they made a decision!”

“Oho, really? Let’s go.”

I wash my face roughly and head to the conference room.

When I opened the barracks and came in, the three nobles with tense expressions were kneeling on one knee.

As Sujeong said, we decided not to force them with black magic. There was a possibility that it would cause problems.

Marquis Arden said as a representative.

“Prophet! We have sworn to risk our lives to establish a Holy Empire! Please accept our loyalty!”

“Once you decide, you can’t turn back.”

“Of course. I’ll give you a token of that!”

“A token?”
