130 – Permanent Peace – 1

After Emilia was arrested on charges of devil worship, Princess Leonia took over the Grand Duchy of Chronor. The process of taking over the Grand Duchy of Chronor was not difficult. In the first place, Emilia had come down to Binevia with her entire army, and the entire army had suffered great damage during the defeat, so she had almost no troops to defend the Grand Duchy of Chronor.

After taking over the Grand Duchy of Kronor so easily, Princess Leonia von Arcadia received a coronation ceremony. Princess Leonia, who received the crowns of the Empire of Arcadia, the Kingdom of Taspilia, and the Grand Duchy of Chronor, completely occupied the center of the continent and created the largest empire in history.

Arcadia – United Empire of Taspilia. This dream-sized empire had about 70,000 troops, occupying more than half of the world. Even if you combine all the troops from the remaining Kingdom of Swadia, Kingdom of Illya, Kingdom of Silonia, and Grand Duchy of Kazan, it does not amount to 70,000.

Of course, it might be possible to combine the East Continent, but it was too far from the East Continent to begin with, so there was no exchange. Therefore, in the original game, world conquest meant ‘conquering the West Continent.’

In short, the Arcadian Empire had surpassed the world’s most powerful nation and was at the stage of dominating the world. Now, if I conquered just a little more, I could truly take control of the world.

And I finally received the award that Leonia had mentioned.

“Duke Charles Jean Rochepol.”

“Yes.”

“I appoint you as the king of the Kingdom of Taspilia.”

King of the Kingdom of Taspilia.

The Kingdom of Taspilia was able to mobilize the third largest number of troops and was the second wealthiest country in the world. It was also the first country to develop scientific power.

In other words, the king of the Kingdom of Taspilia became the official number 2 of the Arcadia-Taspilia United Empire.

As I looked surprised, she added her explanation.

“You led a large army of 24,000 soldiers to victory in a battle that seemed impossible to win. This was a feat that no one but you, Duke of Rochepol, could have accomplished. Therefore, in recognition of your merits, I will appoint you as the king of the Taspilia Peninsula. “Let’s do our best in the future.”

“… “

“Are you disobeying?”

If you ask me if I disobey… To be honest, I wasn’t very happy.

However, if I openly disobeyed here, it would be like creating an internal crisis.

Even if I disobeyed in my heart, I needed to say that I would obey here.

Because it was politics.

“I will accept it.”

Princess Leonia bestowed the crown of the Kingdom of Taspilia upon me. That’s how I got to wear a crown on my head for the first time in my life.

—–

King.

A word meaning the monarch or king of a country.

Most nobles envied me for receiving the throne of Taspilia. It was a natural story. This is because Taspilia was the second wealthiest country in the world after Arcadia.

There is a symbolism of being able to put the Holy Kingdom of Lydia under actual control.

When the time was right, religious legitimacy could be achieved.

The princess’s intention in giving me the Taspilia Peninsula seemed clear.

They appointed me as number 2 of the Arcadia Empire.

I would have thought it would be the right time if Dian, the original number 2, died and took over as commander-in-chief and made great contributions.

However, my mind after receiving the throne was not very peaceful.

That’s because I have to return someday.

Conquer the world.

To be honest, it’s like it’s already been done. Even in games, when you get to this point, you can roughly assume that you have conquered the world and just turn off the game.

Our army occupied more than half of the world, and all the outstanding talents were gathered there. In this situation, I was confident that I would never lose no matter what force I competed with.

In the end, it is only a matter of time whether we will conquer the world or not. And when I conquer the world, I return to Earth, to Korea.

Into my dark, narrow, and comfortable single room.

So, what will happen to the Arcadia Empire after I return?

When I was number 4 in the force, to be honest, it didn’t matter whether I went back or not. Even if number 4 disappears, it won’t be noticeable.

But number 2 is different. The king of the Kingdom of Taspilia is different. If the person in charge of this position suddenly disappears, Leonia will suffer great political damage.

“Ha… “

Did I get it for no reason? Should she have said no?

But for what reason?

I couldn’t think of any reason.

“I can’t help it.”

First of all, I felt like I had to do my job as king.

To be honest, there was nothing to touch on the internal affairs of the Taspilia Peninsula.

Leonia von Arcadia was superior to me when it came to her internal affairs, and Leonia had greatly boosted the economy of the Kingdom of Taspilia so far. I just need to maintain what Emperor Leonia has done.

Then the rest was military and supply. I was determined to recruit and train as many soldiers as possible in Taspilia so that I could be of great help to Leonia when the war against foreign countries began.

There are still four countries remaining: Swadia, Silonia, Illya, and Kazan.

That meant that there was still time to go to war. That’s why I didn’t relax.

Then one day, when I stopped by Arcadia for a national event, I spoke to Emperor Leonia.

“Your Majesty, would you like to get married soon?”

A year has passed since we completed the conquest of Vinenevia, and Leonia and I have turned 27 years old. Of course, in my case, including the time I have lived on Earth, I was 34 years old.

“Marriage?”

Leonia asked back with a slightly red face. Her expression was colored with anticipation for some reason.

“From now on, the remaining enemies in the world will be Swadia, Illya, Silonia, and Kazan. The most powerful of these is Swadia, with 25,000 troops. The combined forces of the three remaining countries are less than 40,000.”

“Huh? “Wasn’t it about marriage?”

“It’s true that you are talking about marriage. Of these, if only Swadia is eliminated, it would be no problem to occupy the other three countries. You can literally advance at the speed of an army. “Because the quality and quantity of soldiers are overwhelming.”

“What does that have to do with my marriage?”

“A marriage partner worthy of your Majesty would have to be at least the king of Swadia or Silonia. However, in the case of Cylonia, it is too far from the Arcadian Empire to be of much help militarily, while Swadia borders the empire. So, marry Philippe de Swadia, the king of Swadia. By matrilineal marriage. This is no loss to either His Majesty the Leonian Emperor or King Philip of Swadia. Because the child between these two people will have the world. And the rest of the countries just need to be pushed out by force.”

“… “

“First, we can push out the Grand Duchy of Kazan while Swadia is blocking Ilya and Silonia, and then advance to Silonia through Swadia. Lastly, if you place a blockade on the entire continent to block trade with the Kingdom of Illiya and cause the Kingdom of Illiya to wither away on its own, they will surrender first.”

“… “

“According to my calculations, the world will probably be within our grasp within 10 years…” “

“Shut up.”

At that moment, for some reason, I felt desperate and had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.

“I’m tired today, so please leave.”

Leonia glared at me with an obviously angry voice, and I had no choice but to back down. Why? Why are you suddenly angry?

—–

The next day, Leonia gathered her subjects. And we started discussing our future policy.

“Now our army has become a country that rules more than half of the world. Right now, our army has about 30,000 troops, but in just 5 years it will increase to 60,000, and in 7 years it will exceed 70,000. Needless to say, the army created in that way will be the strongest army in the world.”

With those words, the mood of the nobles improved. Leonia’s analysis was correct. Our army that was created in the future would become the world’s strongest army.

“We have good relations with the Kingdom of Silonia and the Kingdom of Illiya. Cylonia and Illya do not want Swadia to take over the world. Because they believe that their survival rate will decrease in a Swadia-centered society. Meanwhile, they recognize Arcadia’s hegemony. “In the first place, since Arcadia, Silonia, and Illya are far away, they probably think that there is little chance of us invading them.”

That was also correct. The countries furthest from Arcadia were Silonia and Illya. Isn’t it called Wonkyo muscle work? So those two countries are trying to be friendly with their allies.

“For this reason, I plan to give them peace as they wish.”

At those words, the crowd began to stir. It gives peace. Does that mean there will be no conquest?
