The Establishment of the New Empire (1)

Situation Room, Western Front.

I opened a gate in the Central Front and dropped about a thousand napalm bombs.

Previously, I dropped about 300, and they retreated for a while then. But, misjudging that this was a short-term attack, the Magic Kingdom mobilized its entire army to attack the Central Front. It’s obvious, but it’s a miscalculation.

They should have retreated and reinforced the walls.

Until now, the Magic Kingdom was the invader, but from now on, I am. They were now in a position to defend.

Kwaaaang!

Explosions erupted across a wide area.

Duke Russell and the other nobles watched the scene being broadcast on the monitor, utterly amazed.

“How on earth is such a thing possible…?”

“It’s the power of science.”

“You mean it’s not supernatural power or magic?”

“That’s right. The world I live in has reached the pinnacle of scientific civilization. We have a system where war would lead to mutual destruction, so we focus all our efforts on preventing it.”

“…Mutual destruction?”

“If a total war breaks out between two countries with great power, the planet will be destroyed. In your terms, the entire continent would be devastated. The land would be contaminated with radiation, and even an ice age could be predicted. All life would be wiped out.”

“…”

What I said was common sense for Earthlings.

Nuclear war is the most likely scenario for the end of the world. Even if only a fraction of the nukes on Earth were released, the planet would be destroyed. In other words, modern humanity possesses enough nukes to blow up the entire planet countless times over.

Nuclear weapons are the ultimate weapon.

“I-Is such a thing possible?”

At Duke Russell’s words, I shrugged lightly.

“It’s more than possible.”

“It’s truly an amazing thing. Weapons that can wipe out not only humanity but all life.”

“So, this is nothing, really.”

“Haha. The Magic Kingdom has brought disaster upon this world.”

“It’s a disaster from their point of view.”

I didn’t think we’d lose to the Magic Kingdom.

However, if the Emperor of the Magic Kingdom reaches the 7th Circle [a high level of magical ability], it will be very troublesome.

It was expected that he would use the 7th Circle through some trick, but that is unknown. The Emperor of the Magic Kingdom was not moving yet.

The nobles said.

“At this rate, victory will be easy!”

“Ah, yes. Victory is not difficult. The aftermath is the problem.”

“With such powerful force, unifying the continent wouldn’t be impossible!”

“Yes.”

The nobles breathed a sigh of relief.

What would have happened if they had sided with someone other than me? They would certainly have met their deaths.

A wave of hell had swept through.

The drones were transmitting that hell through infrared cameras.

When it was judged that the heat had subsided to some extent, the gate was opened.

200,000 soldiers prepared to advance.

“Wipe out the enemy!”

Marquis Arden led several subordinate nobles and crossed the gate.

He could check the situation on the Western Front, but he wanted to see the strength of the Celestial Army with his own eyes.

Their lord had stated that he was not a Celestial Army himself, but the soldiers did not think so. Because of that, the nobles also decided to simply call themselves the Celestial Army.

A hill overlooking the Central Front.

The nobles who had taken their places here could see the troops pouring in detail.

Pang! Pang!

Flares exploded in the sky.

The surroundings became as bright as day. In a wide area, too.

A sight that is absolutely impossible with the technology here.

Because of that, they were able to vividly capture the scene of our troops sweeping through the enemies.

To be precise, it was not that our troops were sweeping through the enemies, but merely suppressing the remnants.

Here, their lord stormed into the enemy headquarters and swept them away.

Lee Yoosung’s shout was heard.

[I have defeated the enemy commander!]

“Waaah!”

Buzzing!

The venue was in an uproar.

The Central Front was where cheers erupted.

The soldiers of the Tense Duchy, who had barely been holding on, were excited and shouted when the Central Front was completely suppressed.

Such excitement was being reproduced here as well.

The nobles were just as overwhelmed.

Duke Russell approached.

“I never knew that swearing allegiance to His Majesty would be the chance of a lifetime.”

“I often think so too.”

“Although it was an unavoidable choice, if you have this much power, conquering the continent will be a piece of cake.”

“That’s right, Your Excellency.”

“Are we just helping?”

Those powerful Celestial Army warriors don’t seem to take any damage.

They split the undead legions with one blow.

In particular, that weapon called a rifle is impressive.

When fired once, dozens of undead fall.

A weapon that crossed dimensions.

It was such a weapon that could be commonly referred to as an ‘overpowered’ weapon.

“In fact, with just those 50,000 troops, we could wipe out the Magic Kingdom.”

“I agree.”

Those armed with various advanced military weapons.

For an army that mainly uses cold weapons, the appearance of a modern army was nothing short of a recreation of hell.

It took less than two days to clear the Central Front.

Even that was because the main force was destroyed at the same time as the war started; it took half a day to suppress the remnants, and a day to chase them.

Most of the undead soldiers met their deaths, and the number of those who entered the territory of the Magic Kingdom was negligible.

The nobles of the Central Front, who saw this shocking scene, all swore allegiance to me.

And three days later, the Eastern Front could be cleared as well.

All the nobles of the Western Front, Central Front, and Eastern Front came under my command.

There were also nobles under Grand Duke Ried who did not come under my command, but they had no choice but to flee with only some of their property.

I swallowed 30% of the Empire and immediately ordered expansion.

100,000 more dummies came over, 150,000 rifles were supplied, and more weapons came in.

As unmanned drones and attack helicopters, and now even tanks and fighter jets were mobilized, the Empire and the Magic Kingdom were helplessly pushed back.

When half of the Empire was swallowed and 30% of the Magic Kingdom’s territory disappeared, I stopped advancing further. It was time to consolidate.

And Brontia, which will become the capital of the Empire.

A huge imperial palace was built in the Tense Duchy of the Central Front.

100,000 android workers were mobilized and built it in less than a month.

Reinforced concrete, which cannot be seen in this world, was used, and the form of the building was mixed with the style of this continent.

It was built as high as 30 floors, and Brontia began to function as a planned city and capital.

New technologies were introduced, road networks began to be built, and the walls of each territory began to be restored.

And today, the day has come to declare the Empire.

The coronation will have to wait more than a month, but already, judging by the size of the Empire alone, it has swallowed about 40% of the continent.

The newly built imperial palace.

A meeting was held in the sky lounge of the building called the Emperor’s Palace.

The grand hall was blocked by reinforced glass on all sides.

The throne was completed, and the vassals were kneeling below it.

Soojung was sitting next to me.

Soojung was beaming with joy.

Soojung also seems to have never imagined that the Empire would be established and stabilized so quickly.

I looked around the audience and declared.

“I declare a new Empire on this land!”

“What will be the name of the Empire?”

“Crystal.”

“Waaah!”

An exclamation flowed from Soojung’s mouth.

Soojung’s name is just right.

Crystal.

Soojung’s role was the greatest during the formation of the Empire, so it seemed okay to take her name.

Soojung jumped up and down.

“Woah! Daddy’s the best!”

“Because you suffered the most.”

“Hehe. Soojung really became a princess?”

“Let’s call you an imperial princess.”

The Crystal Imperial Family was established.

Two imperial princesses and one empress.

The nobles’ eyes gleamed.

Since I had no sons, the man who could marry Soojung had the potential to become emperor. Of course, Soojung could become empress herself.

In any case, marrying Soojung would bring tremendous wealth and glory.

Moreover, this is a polygamous country.

It was common to have three empresses and numerous concubines, so if they could send their daughter as an empress, a tremendous jackpot would be hit.

It seems necessary to drive a wedge here.

“My lifespan is about 300 years. And if I reach a higher realm, I will be able to live for over a thousand years. So, it’s best to stop the unnecessary power struggles. Also, in the new Empire, nobles cannot own territories. All are owned by the imperial family, and the imperial family dispatches managers to govern.”

“Hmm!”

It was truly the introduction of an absolute monarchy that broke the common sense of this world.

Since I started the war to rule this world anyway, I had no intention of giving power to the lords.

“However, you will be able to wield power. If you swear allegiance to me, you will enjoy wealth and glory.”

“I pledge eternal allegiance to Your Majesty!”

“I pledge allegiance!”

“Let the families participate in the business. Make money and develop the Empire. A time of peace will come, so it will be good to challenge various businesses.”

“I will keep that in mind!”

“Prepare for the coronation! The coronation is in 10 days.”

“I will obey Your Majesty’s orders!”

I simply finished the declaration of the Empire and prepared to return home.

Now that the imperial palace has been completed and various barriers have been installed here, it seemed okay to bring Sooah and my wife.

And there was work to be done at the company as well.

I need to pump up oil from the desert in the eastern part of the Empire and sell it.

I stand in front of the gate with Soojung.

I decided to leave this place to Kalburn.

“Kalburn. Make sure there are no disruptions to the coronation.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Send a surrender document to the Calin Empire. If possible, tell them to join the Crystal Empire.”

“They are strongly refusing that much.”

“Is that so? Then it’s war.”

I decided to think simply.

There’s no need to think about this and that in a complicated way.

I have the power, so I advance without hesitation.

There’s no reason to hesitate.

And with that amount of time, I can consolidate the internal affairs to some extent. Of course, it will take more time to fully enter a stable period, but at least the foundation of the country could be laid.

The teleport gates installed everywhere will make that possible.

That’s enough.

“Have a good work.”

“Come back safely!”

I crossed dimensions with Soojung.

I’m finally back home.

The stale air rushes into my lungs.

“Dad, but what kind of reaction will the Magic Kingdom show?”

“The Magic Kingdom guys?”

To be exact, I’m curious about the reaction of the Emperor of the Magic Kingdom.

I could predict one thing.

“The entire country will be on high alert. And they will have to make a choice.”

Either bury all the undead and crawl under me, or resist to the end.
