◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (68)

For a moment, Lian couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

‘Sayla… … Count Arachman.’

An extraordinary genius from the Arachman family.

He is a person of great standing who made the Arachman family, which had never risen above the rank of baron, into a count family in an instant.

furthermore…….

‘One of the seven pillars supporting the Artian Kingdom.’

Although there may have been those higher up in terms of power or rank, he was the top man in one of only seven legions.

A being who can be called Artian’s general.

The person that Lian dreams of and aims for is right in front of her.

Gulp.

Lian swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

Why is she here… …?

Lian looked at her, unable to hide her surprised expression. Seila immediately looked straight at Lian and asked.

“I heard that the company commander next to you was praising you for organizing Bieltona?”

“It wasn’t just my strength alone. It was possible because the soldiers in Bieltona, including Captain Varus, and the Eagle Company with Captain Raymond helped me out.”

The moment I said something, the tension strangely seemed to disappear.

Lian, who had finally returned to her usual self, spoke calmly. At this, Seyla burst into laughter.

“You don’t seem selfish, that’s funny.”

Then he looked at the division commander standing next to him and said.

“Give all the soldiers who worked hard to subdue Bielton a proper reward, of course. And among them, those who have performed exceptionally should be properly rewarded. According to the laws of the kingdom.”

According to the laws of the kingdom.

It means that awards should be given based solely on performance, regardless of status.

To that the division commander replied:

“All right.”

“Then everyone, leave and you sit here.”

Seyla pointed to Lian.

At that, Lian’s eyes widened.

“Me, just me?”

Lian asked, unable to hide her surprised expression, but there was no answer.

Before leaving, Raymond just looked at Lian with a look of encouragement before leaving.

Lian, who was suddenly left alone with the commander, had to hide her bewildered expression.

Is there such a thing in the world…?

Lian couldn’t hide her bewilderment at being in such an unprecedented situation, something she had never experienced in her past life.

Saila said to Lian.

“I’m going to look up so I’ll sit down.”

“Yes, yep!”

Lian sat down right away. Then Seila looked at Lian and asked.

“First of all… Now that you’ve congratulated me, let’s get to the main point. Something pretty big happened in Bieltona, right?”

“……yes?”

For a moment, Lian tilted her head.

Soon I could figure out what Seyla was asking.

‘Master-level… … Are you talking about someone who uses aura?’

Well, you could say that it’s a pretty big deal.

Because it was completely unpredictable.

In fact, the number of soldiers who died because of it is well over a hundred.

Saila said quietly after seeing Lian’s expression.

“It must have been a disaster. But I heard they killed him.”

“……yes.”

At that memory, Lian felt her mood sink.

Saila said in response to Lian.

“I’m sorry about what happened. But there’s one thing you need to know.”

“What is it?”

“It means that the event was planned and intentional by someone.”

“……!”

For a moment, Lian felt her buttocks shake.

Yeah, it was definitely weird.

It may not be a mere trick, but doesn’t it make sense that the leader of the Horde, who was a mid-level Aura user, would suddenly use a Master-level Aura?

This is something that could not have happened without someone’s intervention.

No, before that… … .

“Is that possible with someone’s intervention?”

I can’t believe it.

Ceyla let out a small sigh, then spoke with a stern expression.

“It’s Marquis Dwayne’s doing. And… I can guess roughly what he did.”

“……yes?”

Dwayne Marquis?

Who the hell is he?

Lian frowned at the name, which sounded familiar.

‘Marquis Dwayne… … Marquis Dwayne… … .’

It just doesn’t connect.

At that moment,

“Marquis Dwayne……?”

His pupils widened as Lian muttered.

The title of Marquis didn’t last long, but the moment it was changed to Archduke, it felt like it was right on the tongue.

‘Marquis Dwayne!’

The de facto ruler of the Artian Kingdom, who elevated Prince Byron to the throne and became the Archduke.

In fact, after Byron became king, there was a fierce bloodbath, and at the center of it all was the Marquis Dwayne.

‘But why did he… …?’

When Lian looked at Seila with a surprised expression, she said to Lian.

“He is watching you.”

“Me? Why?”

“Well, if I had to give a reason, I could probably give a few.”

Then he looked at Lian and continued speaking.

“Rian, born a commoner with no surname…… After joining the army for only six months, he distinguished himself in the Battle of Pelon Valley and became a Ten-man Commander. He crossed the Isis River and made a great contribution in the Battle of Saleron. He then became a Hundred Commander of the independent unit…….”

As Seila continued speaking, Lian’s expression hardened.

Even though he is only a centenarian, Seila, the ‘commander’, knows him in such detail.

“This time in Bieltona, I have practically finished the kingdom’s long-standing homework with my own power.”

“…….”

“This is the testimony of those who fought alongside you. They all say that you were the greatest hero who ended the Battle of Bieltona.”

After receiving a report about Caen from Telfon, I investigated those at the center of it.

Raymond’s Eagle Company, of course, and even Varus in Bieltona.

But surprisingly, an unexpected character popped out in common.

Lian.

It didn’t take long for that short name, without even a surname, to become so engraved in his mind.

‘In the history of the kingdom… has there ever been a guy like this?’

He is truly a peculiar fellow.

No, should I say it’s great?

Looking at the path he has taken so far, I can’t picture his future.

Honestly, I couldn’t imagine how it would change.

“Rian.”

“yes.”

Lian answered Seyla’s call briefly.

Before he knew it, Lian’s expression had taken on a military air.

Saila asked at that sight.

“Where are you headed?”

“…….”

Lian remained silent at that question.

‘Where I’m headed… … .’

In both her past life and present, Lian dreams of only one thing.

To become the strongest general on the continent.

There is no change to that goal.

Lian answered.

“My goal is… to become the strongest general on the continent.”

“Continent? Are you dreaming of becoming the strongest on the continent rather than a kingdom?”

“Yes.”

Seila burst into laughter at Lian’s answer, which was given without a shred of hesitation.

“Are you, a commoner, dreaming of becoming a general?”

“yes.”

“That’s interesting.”

At Lian’s answer, Seyla stood up from her seat. Then she looked at Lian and said.

“It will be a very difficult road to achieve that dream. And one more thing.”

Suddenly, Seyla’s eyes looking at Lian flashed sharply.

“You must be careful of the knife pointed at you.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

At Lian’s answer, Seyla looked toward the door and shouted.

“I’m going back!”

With those words, the door opened and the division commander came in.

“I will serve you.”

“egg plant.”

As Seila went out with those words, the division commander looked at Telfon and said.

“I’ll leave the rest up to you.”

“Don’t worry.”

The conversation had already ended.

Soon the corps commander and division commander boarded the carriage that was waiting outside.

And as she boarded the carriage, Seyla saw her men saluting outside.

Sigh.

“That’s interesting.”

“yes?”

The division commander asked. But Seyla just looked at the blue sky.

‘I thought it would just end like this… … .’

Is it possible to change the flow?

Or has it awakened an even more dangerous seed?

It was a completely unpredictable and chaotic situation, but because of that, Seyla felt her body boiling with a strange excitement.

“Army… Commander?”

And looking at the smiling Seila, the division commander just swallowed and looked at her quietly.

“……It looks like a storm has come.”

“I think the same.”

After Seyla left, Raymond, who was next to her, answered Telphon’s muttering.

Raymond in particular was very surprised, although he didn’t show it on the outside.

Because I never thought that I would meet the corps commander so closely while serving in the military.

Seyla Arakman.

Because the weight that name carries is that great.

“Come inside for a moment.”

And as the carriage carrying Seyla disappeared from sight, Telphon looked at Raymond and Lian and said.

“Come in and let’s talk.”

Raymond and Lian followed him inside without saying a word, feeling the serious atmosphere.

Lian went back into Raymond’s office and sat down in front of Telfon.

Telpon naturally took out a thick cigar and lit it.

“Whew… I feel like I can live now.”

The rich aroma of cigars lingers in your mouth and turns into smoke before dissipating into the air.

Then Telfon spoke to Raymond and Lian.

“I’m sure you know the gist of it, but this time, there was a plot by Marquis Dwayne, who follows the Second Prince.”

“But honestly, I don’t understand. How could something like that be possible through a conspiracy?”

Raymond asked Telfon.

Lian was also the most curious about this, so she waited silently for Telpon’s answer.

Telfon took a small breath with his cigar in his mouth.

“Whew, if it’s Kaen, then maybe it’s possible.”

“Who is Caen?”

“I’ve never actually seen it. I’ve only heard the name.”

Even within the military, there aren’t many people who know that.

The reason Telfon knew about Kaen was because he was completely in line with the three princes.

“Honestly, there is no exact information about him. However, based on the facts that have been revealed, it seems that he is an excellent user of black magic and…….”

Telpon continued with a stern expression.

“I guess we’ll reach the seventh circle by then.”

“Chi, are you talking about Chil Circle?”

Raymond couldn’t hide his surprised expression.

The same was true for Lian.

It can’t be helped because the 7th Circle is a realm that is on par with Master-level Aura users.

Even if you look at the history of the kingdom, or even the continent, there are only a handful of magicians who have reached the 7th Circle.

Isn’t there only one officially on the continent at present?

“How could such an enormous power… not have been revealed until now? It doesn’t make sense.”

“I don’t know much about him, but it’s something I can’t explain without his involvement.”

Then Telfon looked blankly at Raymond and Lian.

In fact, what he wanted to say was something else.

“You know the current atmosphere in the kingdom, right?”

“…….”

Raymond couldn’t answer because he knew what the question was.

Lian just waited silently for Telfon to speak.

“Now you too have been forced to step into this place, whether by your own choice or by being forced into it.”

Raymond hates fighting over political issues.

That’s why this situation might be so painful for him.

But it was a problem that Lian had been thinking about continuously.

In my past life, I was just a lowly soldier and had no choice.

But now, there are many people who are looking at Lian, who has already stood out.

“The direction may be different, but you too will be given a moment to choose. The Second Prince’s side is already paying attention to you.”

Perhaps there will be actions on the part of the Second Prince to recruit Raymond and Lian.

If not, they might try to kill you again.

Depending on the choice you make at that crossroads, the direction you want to go may change.

“……I’ll think about it.”

Telfon nodded at Raymond’s answer.

Given his temperament, he might need a little more time.

Telpon looked at Lian.

Lian seemed to hesitate for a moment, then spoke carefully to Telfon.

“Are you asking me to choose between the Second Prince and the Third Prince?”

“Kukukuk, that’s a bold question. Yeah, if I had to put it simply, that’s what I mean.”

I thought it was a presumptuous answer.

Even though Lian is emerging as a dark horse, he is still just a white general.

Telfon’s answer made Lian think of the two princes from her past life.

The 2nd and 3rd princes have clearly different personalities.

However, in the previous life, the third prince was eventually defeated and the second prince, Byron, ruled the Artian Kingdom.

I know all too well what happened after that.

Many people died, and endless wars of conquest began.

“……Can I ask you a favor?”

“Tell me.”

“Please give me a chance to meet the Third Prince.”

“……what?”

Telpon’s eyes began to waver for the first time at Lian’s request.
