◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (80)

There was a momentary silence in the room.

As soon as Lian finished speaking, Ceyla also looked a little surprised.

Because I never expected that they would hit me head-on like this.

‘This guy… … .’

A silence as if frozen in ice continued.

Ethan just looked at Lian with a sunken look in his eyes. And,

“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, hehehehehehe!”

Ethan’s shoulders shook as a laughter escaped his lips.

“Wow, Your Majesty.”

Ethan’s laughter, which might have seemed somewhat frivolous, made the attendant next to him call him over urgently.

But Ethan raised his hand slightly to stop him.

Ethan’s gaze was directed at Lian.

“It was a completely unexpected question.”

“……I’m sorry.”

“No, there’s no need to do that. It was just your question.”

Ethan slowly got up from his seat and muttered something.

“Do you have a dream of conquering the continent……”

For a moment, Ethan’s eyes were filled with memories.

Now that I think about it, I remember having a dream like that when I was very young… …while looking at my father’s manly back.

This refers to the status of the Artian Kingdom, which stretches out toward the vast continent.

But at some point, things like that stopped being important.

Because taking care of my people, my subjects, who were right in front of me, was my priority.

‘If I become king… …’

If I become king… … If I become king… … .

I asked the same question countless times in my head.

What am I like now?

Do you still have that dream from when you were young?

Sigh.

Ethan’s mouth corners went up as he looked out the window and pondered his thoughts.

As if his thoughts had come to his senses, he slowly turned around and looked at the people present.

Those who could be considered his closest confidants. His sharpest sword. And… … .

“I think you’re the first person besides Abamama to ever give me homework, even if it was only for a very short time.”

Soon Ethan’s expression hardened into a serious expression.

“So, you asked me if I were king and wanted to stabilize the kingdom and further conquer the continent?”

“……Yes.”

Lian bowed her head. Ethan spoke to her.

“If I become king…….”

A small breath followed his words, which paused for a moment. Then Ethan continued speaking without hesitation.

“I will unite the continent.”

* * *

“A clever guy.”

It was something I had already expected. But unlike other guys, he seemed to have prepared quite thoroughly.

“The actual destination was revealed to be Kurtain.”

“Kurtein? What’s there?”

“This is where the 3rd Battalion of the 6th Corps is located.”

“A battalion? Then it would only have 1-2 thousand soldiers at most… Why did you go to a place like that?”

“……Shall we find out?”

Marquis Dwayne said, bowing his head slightly.

There are only two people in the kingdom who treat Dwayne like this.

The King of Artian, who is currently bedridden, and his second son, Byron, whom he is serving.

And the dark brown haired man sitting on the chair in front of him fiddled with his chin.

The kid who had been stuck in the territory and playing house until now has been moving around a lot lately.

If you are satisfied with just that one territory, I am willing to leave it alone… … .

“It’s Kurtein.”

Something was tickling the back of my head. Byron said to Dwayne.

“Find out if there is anything that could cause a change. Even the smallest things.”

* * *

Heart pounding.

Lian felt her heart pounding suddenly.

But it seemed like it wasn’t just Lian who was surprised.

Seyla, who was next to Lian, also looked at Ethan with a slightly surprised expression.

I’ve been watching the Three Princes for quite some time, but this is the first time I’ve seen them like this.

Swish.

Seila turned her gaze to Gilbert, who was standing next to Ethan.

Gilbert clenched his fists without saying a word.

I never would have thought that a stone-like guy would react like that.

Ethan’s words had the power to light a fire in the hearts of those who were long-lived.

“then…….”

Ethan, who had answered, looked at Lian.

“Then this time I will ask you, Baek In-jang Lian.”

“I await your orders!”

Ethan asked Lian’s words.

“If I become king, the first thing I will do is stabilize the situation in this chaotic kingdom and create a kingdom where the people can live with smiles.”

This is the biggest difference between Byron and Ethan.

Byron chooses the quickest path to satisfy his greed and selfish desires.

That is why, after becoming king, he did not care about the situation of the kingdom and only extended his sword to the continent and began to conquer it.

That was the ‘era of great wars’ that unfolded after Byron became king.

Perhaps Byron wanted to become a king whose name would be greatly remembered in history.

Because of that hasty war in the previous life, the people of the kingdom were literally suffering from taxes and war, shedding tears of blood and dying.

It was a time like a plague for which there was absolutely no preparation.

But Ethan chose a different path than Byron, which is why Lian asked that question.

It is true that the stability of the kingdom should be the priority, but if the stability of the kingdom is the only goal, then it does not align with Lian’s goal of becoming a general.

Ethan continued, looking at Lian.

“But after that… in the great undertaking of unifying the continent, can you become a general and help achieve that goal?”

thud!

The moment that question was finished, Lian knelt on one knee and bowed her head.

It was as if something solemn was hiding the others from the two of them.

In the quiet atmosphere, Lian slowly raised her head and looked at Ethan.

“God, Lian.”

Actually, I had a lot of worries before coming here.

What actions of yours will change the future? And what will that changed future look like?

That’s why I thought it would be better to go with the history that I know as much as possible.

Even though the situation was bloody and full of screams.

But the moment she saw Ethan, Lian was sure.

If the future changes, there may be a bright future for the kingdom.

Lian answered.

“I will become Prince Ethan’s arrow and pierce the enemy.”

Ethan smiled slightly at those words.

“……That crazy guy.”

Seyla muttered as she looked at Lian standing in front of her.

But Lian just pretended not to hear and stood there silently, absorbed in her work.

At that sight, Seyla let out a small sigh,

Sigh.

He said, raising the corners of his lips.

“Still, it was pretty cool.”

“thank you!”

“So what do you plan to do?”

I know what Seyla’s question is.

Lian remembered what Ethan had said just before he left.

-You want to be my arrow? Hmm… … Then I have to give it strength. Then it will fly strong and far.

Ethan did everything he could to empower Lian.

The rank of second lieutenant was increased to captain.

The rank of Baek In-jang was changed to Cheon In-jang.

And Ethan said.

-I’ll give you three months. It may be a short period of time, but within that time, use all your abilities to create the perfect unit you can imagine.

Cela looked at Lian silently, who was struggling with her question.

Because I was strangely curious about what kind of answer the guy would give.

Finally, Lian said.

“I’m thinking of going to Bieltona….”

“Bieltona?”

That’s an unexpected answer.

Lian nodded in response to Seyla’s question.

“The soldiers and officers I met there were all veterans of combat. The long battles had made them tough and experienced.”

“Well… recovery is more important than fighting there now.”

Seyla nodded to Lian’s words and asked again.

“So, are you saying you will merge the soldiers in Bieltona?”

“If they want.”

“If it’s the army of Bieltona, I can force it with my authority.”

Lian shook her head at Seyla’s words.

“This is homework that the prince gave me. I think it’s meaningless if I don’t solve it on my own.”

They told me to build a perfect unit in just three months.

Time was very pressing for Lian.

But that doesn’t mean I wanted to get help from others.

‘If I can’t even do this… … it would be meaningless.’

In that sense, the soldiers in Bieltona are definitely certified.

Moreover, since they fought together on the battlefield, their camaraderie is strong.

It means that you can trust someone with your back even in the moment of life and death.

“Well, then I guess there’s nothing I can do.”

At Lian’s answer, Seila stood up from her seat.

Before she knew it, a rather satisfied smile appeared on her face.

“Then I look forward to the future. Do your best.”

“All right!”

Lian answered loudly.

And all of them, including Seyla, left the unit.

A sense of silence and desolation filled the unit, as if a great storm had passed through.

“……A thousand-man army.”

I thought I could become a 500-man if I did well. But how many stairs did I jump up at once?

Of course, it’s still a long way to go until you reach the level of a general, the Five Thousand Seals…

Unlike the past, which seemed like it would never be possible to see, now it felt like I could see a faint light.

After quietly gathering her thoughts, Lian returned to the barracks.

It was to meet Isaac.

“Isaac, I have a place to go with you.”

“All right.”

“……Shouldn’t you at least ask where they’re going?”

“I’ll go wherever the captain tells me to go. But… where are you going?”

Lian burst into laughter at Isaac’s answer.

“Bieltona.”

* * *

“…….”

Barus, who was standing on duty at the guard post, looked ahead in silence.

Peace had come, but at some point I felt a strange sense of emptiness.

“Phew.”

The pass through the Porhen Valley was destroyed and the number of raiders on Bieltona was greatly reduced.

It’s a given.

The reason the barren lands are invaded by the barren tribes is to supplement the food shortage or to find shelter from the harsh weather.

However, as the canyon road disappears, you have to go around the Porchen canyon to get to Bieltona.

Even if you take the shortest route, it takes half a month just to return to the Porchen Gorge.

Without wild animals or sufficient food, it was virtually impossible for them to pass through the Porchen Valley to Bieltona.

Because it would be much better to go somewhere else at that time.

In fact, since the Porhen Gorge pass was destroyed, there have only been two attacks by the Hulks.

It was also an inevitable choice of a group that was pushed out in the power struggle within the clan.

Since the number of people was less than a hundred, it wasn’t that difficult to stop them.

“Were you here?”

Homel approached Barus, who was working alone.

Then he looked in the direction Barus was looking.

It was on the side where the Porchen Canyon was.

“Are you on duty again? What do you do when the commander is at the guard post like this every day?”

“There’s nothing special to do, right? And the view is nice here.”

“……Good.”

Homer gave a short answer to Varus’ words.

A brief silence followed.

Within a moment, Homel saw people moving busily below.

It is a movement to change Bieltona, which was not properly equipped due to the long battle.

Now the houses were being built properly, and work was being done to bring water from the river around the castle.

Bieltona has a lot of work to do, but now everyone is smiling.

“It’s peaceful… so it seems good.”

“yes…….”

It’s true that it’s nice to see people smiling more than before.

I also feel a sense of accomplishment and pride in what I have created.

But Varus has lived on the battlefield for over ten years.

Aside from this happiness, the emptiness that felt like a hole had been ripping through my chest seemed to be weighing on me more recently.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just then, someone came running up the stairs in a hurry.

“Captain Barus!”

“Hmm? It probably isn’t shift change time yet.”

Varus tilted his head and asked the soldier who approached him.

“What’s going on?”

“A guest has arrived.”

“customer?”
