“You mean the land transfer?”

Iris seemed taken aback by my words and hurriedly asked back.

“It’s not as grand as it sounds, so don’t worry too much.”

“……You said it was a land war.”

That little thing is so scared.

Since they have only beaten scarecrows in their comfortable estates, there will be fear of war.

I thought I’d take this opportunity to give her a solid education on what a battle mage is.

“Don’t worry too much. The one fighting us is much weaker. To put it roughly, it’s about the same difficulty as twisting a child’s wrist.”

“Where is it?”

“I am a prinus.”

“If it’s Prinus… isn’t it the city ruled by Viscount Remington?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Why is it suddenly different from that place……”

“There was something going on with Viscount Remington. There was a bit of a grudge, and he couldn’t stand it anymore, so he sent assassins.”

The little boy’s eyes grew wide at those words.

“An assassin?”

“yes.”

“Did it come directly to you?”

“That’s not it. They targeted my subordinates in the annex, including Erciel. It happened when I was away to participate in the magic competition.”

The guy nodded, as if he roughly understood why the battle of the spirits was going on.

Then he asked a question with a curious expression.

“Do you have any evidence? Even if you are a Marquis, if you wage war without any evidence, you will be subject to sanctions from the royal family and the noble families.”

“Of course I do. I have a magic regeneration orb with a scene from when Count Remington himself asked them to do it.”

This was irrefutable evidence.

“Whew… So you’re really going to start a war over territory.”

“Of course we should do it. It’s a chance to take advantage of a nice city for free.”

“…….”

As I said this with a sly smile, the little boy gulped.

I guess my smile looked quite bleak.

“……So, you’re saying you’ll take me too?”

“Of course. Young-ae is practically a greenhouse flower. Even if you continue to learn magic, it will only be a burden. So you should try some real-life experience. It will probably be a good opportunity.”

“……Um…… Then…….”

“Go ahead.”

“……Maybe…… there’s someone…….”

It was obvious what the guy wanted to ask.

You’re asking whether people should be killed too.

Why teach this guy.

That was to get help in the upcoming crisis.

It might be different later, but the villains that appear at this stage are just puppets of the real ones.

It was okay to think of them as mostly human.

Unless you use excessive force like Adolf, you won’t have the appearance of a monster.

Of course, most of the people this kid had to deal with were humans.

The faster you gain experience, the better.

I nodded when I saw the guy.

“…….”

“Are you afraid?”

“……What about you?”

I’ve already rolled around like a ball.

Of course, the answer was already set.

“I have experienced a lot. Didn’t I tell you? The current Yeong-ae is a flower in a greenhouse. That’s what I meant when I said that. Is Yeong-ae’s dream to be a simple assistant magician?”

Assistant wizard.

He was literally a wizard who only cast auxiliary magic.

Since people are a collection of various types of people, it is only natural that there are magicians who are reluctant to kill.

Such wizards sometimes went into research positions, or took on the role of assistant wizards.

Roughly speaking, the word assistant wizard was a synonym for a half-wizard.

‘It can’t be helped.’

The Alton Empire and the Holy Empire.

And the five kingdoms gathered in the central continent?

Although they have maintained peace for quite some time, that does not mean that they do not value strength.

This was the same in the modern society I lived in.

Aren’t there more than a few countries that are madly building up their military power even though there aren’t any massive wars or nuclear weapons being launched like before?

It was the same in this neighborhood.

Because it had a more primitive social structure than the modern one, it would be fair to say that this tendency was even more severe.

A society where force is prioritized over dialogue.

That was this neighborhood.

At my words, the guy’s face gradually began to turn red.

“……no!”

“If not, are you dreaming of becoming a battle mage?”

“……that’s right.”

Of course it should be like that.

It wasn’t that I was teaching you my magic just to raise an assistant wizard.

He said with a firm look at the little boy.

“If Young-ae dreams of becoming a battle mage, then she must naturally become accustomed to the act of killing.”

“……that…….”

“Let’s face it. Is there a battle mage of any note who avoids combat? Not a single one. The moment you do, you’ll be branded a coward.”

“But…… the soldiers are innocent.”

Yeah, right.

Isn’t this guy’s imagination too rosy?

There is sin, there is no sin.

If we examine each of these things, how are we going to survive in this difficult world?

It was really worrying.

Fortunately, there was enough time to correct it.

If you raise it well for about a year, it will be able to fly in real combat.

That’s why they say early education is important.

First of all, I thought I needed to correct this kid’s mindset a little.

“Young-ae.”

“……why?”

“As Yeong-ae said, those soldiers may not be at fault. They may be acting as soldiers under the Viscount without knowing anything. But… do you think the world really works that kindly?”

“…….”

“There are more than a few people who die even if they are innocent. Did I just say that those soldiers were innocent? In fact, it’s different. Those guys are guilty.”

“……What is that?”

“It is the sin of following a bad master who commits evil deeds. Another sin is the sin of following a powerless master… and lastly, the sin of being under a master who dared to rebel against the Marquis.”

Brown pupils.

I met his pupils and eyes and continued speaking firmly.

“That’s how the world works. If you have no power, you die, and if you have power, you live in power. Everything in life is terribly unfair. That applies even to death.”

“That’s… nonsense.”

What is sophistry?

I smiled and looked at Iris.

“Well, isn’t Young-ae’s life the same now?”

“……What does that mean?”

“Young-ae was born as the youngest daughter of a wealthy count’s family, so didn’t she live a life without any shortcomings? As far as I know, Young-ae wasn’t a very affectionate person. Everyone, from the servants below to the people, must have suffered from Young-ae’s actions. Am I wrong?”

“…….”

“There is only one reason why Youngae was able to do that. It is because she was born to good parents. If Youngae had been born poor, would she have been able to do that? Absolutely not.”

“……So?”

“It’s similar to the way soldiers die. They were not chosen.”

He continued speaking to the little boy who was quietly silent.

“If you really want to be a battle mage, you’d better abandon such lofty thoughts as soon as possible. I can tell you this. If you ever need to cut someone’s head, just do it without hesitation. Other than that, there’s no need to give any reason. That’s the life of a knight and a battle mage.”

This is also the mindset that you need to have in this neighborhood.

The moment the words were spoken.

Iris’s eyes fluttered.

“……Are you really…… planning on killing them all?”

well.

I guess I’ll have to judge that after seeing how things go.

Still, it didn’t seem like he would draw his sword right away.

“That won’t happen right away. There are procedures in the spirit world.”

The procedure was simple.

First, after clearly explaining why they were waging a war of attrition, they recommended surrender.

We have a cause, so you should hurry up and hand over your neck, right? That’s about it, I guess?

Viscount Remington.

Since I have no intention of showing mercy to this filthy bastard, it is only natural that he should sacrifice his neck to bring the battle of the land to a clean end.

Of course, the same was true for his family members.

This is because this is a neighborhood where the joint liability system applies.

This is a world where it is common sense to behead all of the elders of a family if they do something wrong.

‘Well, I guess it’s not necessary to go all the way to the final stage.’

All I have to do is take care of all the members of the viscount’s family in Naesong. Even if I didn’t push for it, it was obvious that Abel and his vassals would do it.

In order to let people know that the Celtarion family was not to be trifled with, such a process was necessary.

“We will make recommendations. We have the justification, so we will tell them to lay down their weapons and surrender. If they do, they will live… If they don’t… “

If that happens anyway, Abel will give the order. The order to wipe everything out.

“…….”

He whispered quietly to Iris, who was speechless.

“Young-ae. War is not a game where you have to look after other people’s circumstances one by one. Do you understand?”

“……Then…… surely all the people within Prinus…….”

I chuckled at those words.

This kid, who knows who the crazy murderer is.

It didn’t matter whether the soldiers were killed or not, but touching ordinary citizens was one of the forbidden acts.

This is because the lords were like workers who had to regularly pay taxes to the nobles.

That’s why it was one of the unwritten rules not to touch it unless there was a really serious reason.

“Are you saying we’re crazy? The moment we win the battle for territory, Prinus will become our territory. Why would we massacre the people who regularly pay taxes when there’s no plague?”

“……Really?”

“You don’t seem to know much about territory warfare, but touching the people within the territory is clearly illegal. It is an action that deserves sanctions from the imperial family.”

The little boy sighed as if he was relieved by what I said.

Yeah, right.

Since when did you start taking such good care of the people of Yeongji?

I wonder if that’s why he’s acting that way because he’s going through a correction process due to the contract.

Then the guy looked at me and asked.

“Then… when is the territory battle scheduled to begin?”

“It won’t take that long. Maybe a week at most.”

Viscount Remington.

From the Marquis’ point of view, it was not a burden at all. Even though it was currently in the maintenance period, he was able to send out enough troops.

Even if we dispatch only five thousand soldiers and two hundred knights, it won’t be difficult to swallow that place.

“……Do I really have to go?”

“If you refuse my request, you won’t suffer from stomachache for the rest of the war, right?”

If you refuse, you will have stomach pain from the beginning to the end.

The clauses written in the highest level magic contract were bound to be fulfilled.

“I won’t tell Youngae to use attack magic. Just follow me and use only support magic. For now, it’s important to get used to the act of fighting.”

It was a kind of consideration.

Although his actions and speech were said to be precocious, he was still a young child, only eight years old.

I had no intention of forcing this child to commit murder.

It is not something I force you to do, but something that is meaningful only when you make your own judgment and put it into practice.

The guy bowed his head at my words.

“…….”

“Well, Erciel, who Youngae had ignored so much, will participate well in battles.”

The moment he brought it out as if adding that remark.

The guy’s face turned red.

The silence did not last long.

“……I will join the fight too. So……don’t ignore me.”

The eyes of the guy who brought up the subject were burning brightly.

I think my pride was a little hurt when I measured my fighting power earlier.

‘also.’

For a proud little kid, provocation was the best.
