Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans - Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans chapter 65

There was nothing strange about running right away.

Kkeukreuk?

However, the monster only tilted his head for a moment.

Without fighting them, I looked around and climbed the wall.

cried Calliope, who could not have known what it meant.

“Stop!”

The family followed the monster.

The monster was not strong, so it was easily captured by his followers.

However, there were too many of them, and most of them left the temple.

Since the number of corpses was in the thousands, the number of monsters was also in the thousands.

Thousands of mysterious monsters have spread through the city.

“Shall we pursue?”

“I will protect Edar. chase.”

She gave instructions to her followers and stood by her master’s side.

The darkness created by the jewel disappeared immediately after creating the monster.

The flames of the blades also faded as the darkness faded.

The flame of the soul that filled the Archbishop and the jewel was also extinguished.

But the darkness that hung over the city remained with the monster.

“Edar.”

Calliope called out to the immobile master with her sword on the ground.

Edar sighed briefly and straightened his back.

“Horvid, stupid thing.”

He murmured as he watched the archbishop crumble like dust.

“He won’t even know what I did.”

Edar reached into his clothes and took out the pendant.

A jewel with a pupil in the middle of a pendant in the shape of an eye.

The round jewel that glowed blue vibrated violently.

With the ring on the hand holding the pendant.

‘A jewel containing Tiamar’s soul.’

Calliope remembered the identity of the jewel.

Edar opened his mouth while looking at the jewelry and the ring.

“The arrogant kind approached her, believing that they could rule her. But it is they who are ruled. Because I don’t know why she turned away.”

I hardened my expression and looked out the broken window.

“Let’s go to the tallest spire in the city. To a place large and high that could be a lighthouse, for all in the city to see.”

what is human

###

Hills outside the city, out of reach of the light-swallowing fog.

Two elves sat on the hill and watched the city leisurely.

“It works.”

The blue-eyed elf smiled as he watched the young darkness in and around the city.

“I know. I was hoping it would be fine.”

The black-haired elf took the horse.

“Can you make a few more? I want to use it on dwarves as well.”

“It will be difficult. Looks like the wolf used a lot of energy while making it.”

The black elf clicked his tongue at the blue elf’s words.

“Tsk, sorry. I wanted to take a bite.”

“Even if I feed it, it’s no use.”

“why?”

“At best, it’s blinding and hallucinating. Don’t you know they work without lights when mining? With the protection of the ancestral spirits in every city, they are working even with their eyes closed. Will that work?”

The black elf sighed ah.

“That’s right. Well… if it was something that could be solved so easily, there wouldn’t have been this damn confrontation.”

He shook his head wildly.

Elves and Dwarves were in a hostile confrontation.

As the debate over whose fault the seal of the dragon, Tiamar, was damaged, emotions escalated into a confrontation between the races.

“I really want the prince to kill his temper too.”

“Because I am still young. It’s in full swing.”

The dragon was once a being that almost destroyed the world.

If the seal is broken, disaster may come again.

Of course, the responsibility was great, so the countries and tribes involved in it strongly protested to avoid responsibility, and in the meantime, the elven prince Raeragon took drastic action.

“I am saying this because it seems to be getting worse. You didn’t even have to draw the knife this time, did you? What’s the mortgage on Tiamar, why are you so upset?”

Laeragon drew his sword in the meeting room.

I didn’t cut anyone with the drawn sword.

The problem was that the dwarves were held accountable, and as they continued to make intimidating remarks, the situation turned into a matter of pride between the races rather than ‘why and how did the damage to the seal happen and whose fault was it?’.

“Maybe it’s because he doesn’t like dwarves.”

“Uh… it could be.”

In fact, it was extremely rare that the two races hadn’t quarreled in their nearly 10,000-year history.

Because they were a race competing for world supremacy, there were countless incidents that started out as trivial and spread to bigger ones.

Therefore, Raeragon’s act of intimidating the dwarves in the first place was not a special event.

At best, it was to the point of passing it off, saying, “I couldn’t suppress my youthful blood.”

“The problem is timing. This has not happened once or twice. It was going to fizzle out again soon, but the monkey started rampaging at this time.”

Damn, I tasted it.

“There is a representative system to prevent this. But look at what’s going on now.”

The role of representative system is to adjust the balance of the world.

If a superiorly powerful force emerges from among humans, or if it shows behavior that goes against the plan of the representative system, suppressing it in the first place may have been a balance that the representative system had to adjust.

However, the movement of the representative system is far from the role.

“There are only two negative votes. Load and Mosquito. There are also two abstentions. dwarves with us. Did everyone take some medicine and get drunk?”

The Lord said that Tiamar’s power remained,

Vlad said excessive intervention is not good,

Because of the confrontation between elves and dwarves,

He moved lukewarmly, making all sorts of excuses.

Even that lukewarm movement was a disaster for humans.

“At best, you want to erase what the monkey chief is aiming for before you get your hands on it? It’s not even kidding.”

The blue elf snorted.

“If we don’t intervene directly, that’s the only way.”

“It’s frustrating. I don’t like the way the representative system works these days. especially loaded. When I die, my judgment is dead. I heard that Tiamar’s magic remains? Almost no more left?”

The black elf took out a palm-sized leaf from his bosom.

A fresh scent wafted from the fresh green leaves.

She held the leaf to her nose, smelled the fragrance, and smiled.

It was the leaf of the World Tree.

An invisible force was caressing the elf.

“At this level, it was okay not to have to bring the leaves.”

“Well… the words you hear don’t just tangle the flow of magical power. There’s nothing wrong with being careful just in case.”

“That’s right.”

Laughing, the black elf pointed to the city.

“I feel sorry for the monkeys too.”

“what?”

“I feel sorry for living under Tiamar’s influence.”

“Because monkeys are insensitive to magic. It will be less affected.”

“It’s less talkative. Maybe they’ll get into trouble too.”

“well.”

The blue elf tilted her head.

He shrugged his shoulders, showing no interest.

“Anyway, that’s over now.”

Because Tiamar’s magic that covered the ground has almost disappeared.

From noble mtl dot com

There was no reason to leave fertile land for livestock.

Soon the discussion on the representative system would come and go.

The time has come to lift the ban on this land.

“Ah, but that’s a bit unfortunate.”

The black elf said to his colleague who was tilting his head.

“Sudret. Since he is an obedient guy, there was talk of handing over the next throne to him. In fact, it even brought benefits. But it goes like this.”

“Because the prince told me to kill him. And I gave you a chance Edar, I said that if the monkey dies and survives after killing the guys who sent it to the Great Plains, I will leave the sudlet behind.”

The blue elf laughed out loud.

He gestured toward the darkness.

“Have you used that?”

“It’s a big deal to fly through a city. How much land do they own?”

The blue elf stroked his chin.

“How many will die?”

“We’ll have to see how many survive.”

They giggled and bet.

And soon, he raised his head.

“for a moment.”

“what?”

The magic that flowed from the darkness that swallowed the city changed.

Magic that is different from the magic that flows from Horbid and human souls.

The elves recognized the owner of that magical power.

“Tiamar?”

It can’t be.

muttered stupidly.

There were no signs.

What is Tiamar’s magical power?

“The seal…wasn’t it fixed?”

“What did we feel a while ago?”

I said earlier that Tiamar’s magic has almost disappeared.

The magic I felt now was rather stronger.

Touched by magical power, they felt dizzy and pressed their foreheads.

Staggering, he stood up from his seat.

“Dae, you have to inform the representative system.”

Blades flew at those who turned their backs and tried to leave.

hooked!

“Ouch!”

The blue elf collapsed.

The dagger that flew from behind pierced the heart accurately.

The elf tried to stand up on the floor, but collapsed.

“Which break?”

Three humans surrounded the remaining elves.

The people who were hiding in the bush right behind the hill.

Standing among the attendants was Nuadil, an old man on the mountain.

“On the subject of monkeys!”

The elf rushed at the person in front of him.

The follower immediately raised his sword and tried to block her downward attack, but the elf cut the follower’s body in half with the sword.

She is an observer dispatched directly from the representative system.

When discovered, they had to kill the witnesses and leave no traces.

She had to be a strong person that humans couldn’t dare to touch.

Awesome!

But that was all.

A gap she made while killing one of her followers.

That gap was enough time for Nuadil to kill her.

Nuadil’s dagger cut her throat from behind.

“…!”

The elf slowly turned around, holding the severed nape of his neck.

I opened my mouth to say something with my eyes wide open.

However, instead of words, all that comes out is an airy sound.

dump···

The elf soon fell to the plain.

Nuadil confirmed her death and saw the city.

A light that shines from the highest point in a city covered in darkness.

A smile appeared on his face when he saw the light.

“Go into the city.”

###

Rachel entered the city of Kiruna.

Tens of thousands of people followed behind her.

They were the servants, the conscripts, and the soldiers of Sudret.

The number of soldiers who followed her exceeded half, even though the number was considerably reduced because the wounded and the disabled were put in the garrison.

“Don’t rush! Do not scatter!”

The gates of the city were wide open and no one stood in the way.

In the first place, there was darkness that made it impossible to see even an inch ahead.

There was no way to stop it even with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

“never! Never fall alone! You must be by our side unconditionally! Stay where you can see the light!”

There are many people who shine in the dark.

His family, conscripts, and those who received the holy relics, all totaled 2,000 people.

However, this is the big city Kiruna.

A large city of 800,000 that calls itself the capital of Germania.

The light from 2,000 people in such a place was too small.

“Here! here! People are crushed!”

“You’re not trying to bite me, are you?”

“Quaaa! Do not come! Do not come!”

The situation in the city was even worse.

It’s only natural for fanatics to run amok in the dark.

An earthquake hits the city just before the light fades.

“fire! It’s fire!”

“where? I can not see!”

People were crushed by the collapsed building and a fire spread.

Acrid smoke covered the city, but there were no flames to be seen.

I could feel the heat, but I couldn’t turn off the light because I couldn’t see the light.

‘It’s worse than Sodomora.’

At least Sodomora was able to distinguish between enemies and allies.

Even if the building collapsed, you could tell where it fell.

Even when there was a fire, I was able to find out where it started.

But nothing was known here.

Kreuk!

Even scaly monsters like lizards.

I’d rather be in Sodomora, where the dead roam.

At least the corpse was in human form.

“We divide our troops around family members and conscripts. We become torches and go around. It will save more people than walking around together.”

“I will go west.”

“We are east.”

“Then I will go all the way up this road.”

Rachel saw the road that began at the city gates.

The central road is covered in darkness and it is impossible to see ahead.

At the end of the road was the mansion of the Duke of Sudret.

It was the heart of the city, and Daeshinjeon was also nearby.

“I’d like to leave it alone, but I’m sure it’s not irrelevant to this darkness.”

She led the group forward.

It felt like a very long road even during the day, but it felt so long that I wondered if there was an end when darkness fell.

This was because they weren’t just walking.

“Tear down the surrounding buildings! Don’t let the fire spread!”

extinguishing house fires,

“I can hear it from here.”

Rescuing people from rubble,

“If you don’t come back, I’ll beat you up.”

It took time as she made her way, saving people from being attacked by the fanatics, and the number of her followers gradually dwindled.

Nonetheless, the servants, freed slaves, and Sudret’s soldiers arrived at the mansion of the Duke of Sudret, accompanied by Rachel, with vigor.

“…”

It is said to be a mansion, but in reality it is a palace.

As I passed through the open front door, the strong scent of blood clung to my nose.

“Ugh…”

“Hey, here…”

The wounded and downed people saw the light and reacted.

Wounds from being stabbed, cut, and bitten by teeth.

Fanatics ran amok even in the mansion.

And I could still hear the roar.

visor!

Tung—! Tung!

Clink!

The sound came from the hallway.

Rachel moved quickly.

Bodies were strewn all over the hallways and blood was dripping.

There were only a few people alive, regardless of whether they were vassals or servants.

“…Who are you?”

A wary voice was heard in the darkness.

This was followed by a cry of despair.

The fuss ceased.

Kwaak…

Rachel grabbed the mace and stepped forward.

As the light illuminated the front, the owner of the voice was revealed.

He was Svein, Duke of Sudret.

He stood alone, soaked in blood from head to toe.

“Don’t come.”

The duke stretched out his hand to block it, then raised his other hand to cover his eyes.

The light dazzled me, frowning, then slowly lowered my hand.

The duke’s eyes met Rachel’s.

No madness could be seen in it.

“You are a vassal of Edar.”

“Are you all right?”

Rachel asked in a firm tone.

“Does it look like that?”

An answer mixed with sarcasm, resignation, and mixed emotions.

She saw the wounds on the duke’s body.

His whole body was full of large and small wounds, but the fatal one was his left arm.

His left arm was torn to the bone below the elbow.

“…”

The Duke saw the body lying next to him.

The corpse was Eric, the duke’s first… no, the second.

He must have been the one who had quarreled with the duke right before.
