Adolf’s death.

With that death, the battle in Naesong ended.

‘The 5th Corps must have held it well.’

If we hadn’t stopped it, there would have been chaos a long time ago.

No resistance.

The place where the succession ceremony was held was filled with corpses.

The upper-ranking knights and Adolf did not even leave behind corpses, but those of lower rank did.

Now, Abel’s knights were burning the corpses of the knights under Adolf’s command.

Rebels.

There was no need to respect their bodies.

So, I guess it’s going to burn hot.

Of course, the bodies of those who died on Abel’s side were being buried very respectfully.

In the meantime.

“Kyle!”

I heard a voice calling me.

It was the Duke’s voice.

Behind him, the members of the Sword Demon Corps were following along with the public opinion.

Duke then approached me and said:

“I guess you’re not hurt anywhere.”

“Well, I’m a wizard. I can just use magic comfortably from behind, right? I’m not really hurt anywhere. What about you, hyung?”

“I’m pretty okay too.”

“Thank goodness. Seron. What is the damage situation of the Sword Demon Corps?”

“Some escaped, some died. Now, about half of us remain.”

I see.

Looking at the numbers, they had decreased from thirty to about fifteen.

“Who ran away?”

In response to my question, Seron recited the number of people.

Two advanced and three intermediate.

According to the remaining gladiators, they were the ones who immediately tried to escape when the situation became serious.

It was half expected that there would be a fugitive.

‘Well, I guess things will be fine from now on.’

I had no intention of chasing them.

Because this was no different from half-hiding the jade.

“Then what about the other ten?”

“……Died. The number of dead is… seven intermediate and three advanced.”

Most of the casualties were mid-level gladiators.

In a time of chaos, those who lack skill are the first to close their eyes.

“Did you collect the bodies?”

“……yes.”

They were people without a map or family.

Material compensation would be impossible.

Even so,

“I’ll make a suggestion to my father. At least you should go with honor.”?

At the very least, I was planning to speak out strongly so that I could be treated like the knights who closed their eyes within the family.

They were no different from people who gave their lives for me.

So, of course, that much had to be done.

Se-ron slightly bowed his head at my words.

“……Yes. Thank you.”

“What? It’s something that should be done. Everyone, please pay attention to me for a moment.”

At those words, the remaining members of the Sword Demon Corps looked at me.

“You must have been very flustered because something suddenly happened today. I was the same way. I didn’t know that my second eldest brother would rebel.”

“…….”

“A considerable number of people died today. Ten people, so almost two-fifths of them lost their eyes. As time goes by, the number of people like that will increase, not decrease.”

I didn’t plan on including the five who ran away in the personnel, so ten out of twenty-five were dead. The members of the Sword Demon Corps remained silent at my words.

“You who stayed here until the end and the ten who died, you stood by your posts until the end even in such an unexpected situation. First of all, I would like to say thank you. I have no intention of thanking you in words. I intend to teach you all the swordsmanship and mind techniques of my family.”

Hans, the deputy commander of the Sword Demon Corps, glared at my words.

“……Your Majesty! Is that true?”

“I told you, I don’t expect loyalty without a price. It probably won’t take long.”

Give and take.

Good words are meant to be put into practice.

All twenty gladiators’ eyes lit up at my words.

It was like a golden rope being lowered down to them.

I think this is enough to pay for risking one’s life.

‘Two at the top level. Seven at the upper level. Six at the intermediate level.’

A total of fifteen people remained, including Seron.

Now I thought about growing them and creating a loyal guard.

“There will be good news soon, so everyone stay tuned.”

“yep!”

“Then keep doing your work.”

At those words, the members of the Sword Demon Corps seemed to be excited and began to lift the corpses diligently.

Illegal dumping ground.

You must have seen countless corpses in it.

That’s probably why no one vomited or grimaced at this level of scene.

It was the same for me.

Even though it was a game, I had seen this kind of scene so many times. I was far past the point where my mentality would be shaken by just seeing corpses.

That’s how the internal organization was completed.

“Kyle.”

When I turned around at the sound of a voice calling me, I saw Abel.

“Yes, big brother.”

“……I don’t know if I should call this good news or not. Phew. They say the 5th Corps has been subdued.”

He started talking with a bitter smile.

5th Corps.

If they had been subdued, it would have been a definite blessing.

And yet, he makes that kind of expression.

“Is there any significant damage?”

“Yes…… Even though they effectively destroyed the formation using magic bombs, they say there were over 5,000 casualties. If it weren’t for the 1st and 2nd Corps who heard the commotion and joined the battle…… they would have suffered fatal damage. They say the soldiers rushed in like madmen…….”

Five thousand.

The combined strength of the 3rd and 4th Corps was about 12,000. So, almost half of the soldiers were killed.

Considering that there must have been some damage to the 1st and 2nd Corps as well.

The damage was more severe than expected.

‘Is that a given?’

The soldiers, consumed by madness, would not even fear death?

So, it was obvious that they would have charged forward regardless of whether the formation collapsed or not.

“Still, it’s fortunate that we were able to subdue him.”

“……Yeah. That’s a blessing in disguise. If those guys had started running wild inside the castle, countless people would have died.”

“How much damage did the 1st and 2nd Corps suffer?”

“……They say that about four thousand soldiers died on that side. If you count all the wounded……the casualties will increase, not decrease.”

1st and 2nd Corps.

These two legions were the direct subordinate units of the Marquis.

In other words, it means that they are the most elite force within the family.

Even those two legions suffered considerable damage.

The 5th Corps disappeared in an instant.

There were four remaining legions, each with half its strength.

The loss of troops the Marquis suffered in this battle could be said to be enormous.

‘Adolf, you son of a bitch.’

Even after death, he continues to spread diarrhea in a flashy manner.

After calming down, I looked at Abel.

“……But isn’t that fortunate? If we hadn’t known in advance that they were going to move, the damage would have been truly horrific.”

“……That’s right. Thank you, Kyle. You saved the Marquis.”

“I just did what was natural. This is my family.”

“……Yeah. Oh right, I heard you achieved the 2nd circle. Congratulations.”

A 2nd circle magic used in the process of suppressing the rebellion.

Those who witnessed those magics numbered in the hundreds.

The news that I have become a 2nd circle will spread quickly.

‘Well, I guess I got it for cheap.’

Since I saved my family, it would not have been a loss to reveal my circle.

“thank you.”

“I’ll take care of the cleanup. You must have had a hard time, so get some rest.”

“Would you please do that?”

Abel nodded at those words.

Dark circles were firmly established around his eyes.

It seemed like he was feeling tired from the processing that would pile up like a mountain in the future.

I’d like to help, but…

‘I don’t think that’s necessary.’

Wouldn’t it have been better to just leave him to figure it out on his own?

Abel.

It was the first major event he faced as the official successor.

Even though the Marquis has given in, it will be difficult for him to quickly shake off the shock of having cut off his own child.

It was likely that the post-processing process would be left to Abel.

This could be said to be both a crisis and an opportunity for Abel.

He was officially appointed as the next head of the household today, so the loyalty he will receive in the future will clearly depend on how cleanly he handles this matter.

‘If you do well, you might even be able to get the recognition of the three old knights.’

So there was no need for me to help.

If power is quickly concentrated in one place, the process of restoring the family’s power will also become smoother.

“Then let’s go in first, big brother.”

“Yeah. I think the meeting will be held sometime tomorrow morning… I’ll call you then.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

After exchanging greetings with the Duke, we entered the annex with our group.

Inside the annex.

The attendants inside looked terrified.

“Do…… Master?”

“What on earth happened?”

I slowly explained the situation to the attendants who were asking me questions with trembling eyes.

They nodded their heads in relief at the news that the rebellion had been suppressed.

“So… does that mean it’s safe now?”

“Oh. So, just live your life as usual. There’s nothing really different. Oh, right, everyone here is taking a deep breath, so if you’re going to do it, move quietly.”

I smiled faintly as I saw the attendants nodding their heads.

A bunch of rascals with a talent for espionage.

Because all those bastards were gone.

It seems like they were called in separately to be used in a rebellion.

By now you probably know the rebellion has failed, so you’re either diligently ducking the hatchet or something.

‘He must be dead.’

He must have found eternal rest on the cold ground.

After finishing my thoughts, I looked at my companions.

“You all worked hard. Get some rest. Leonhard, you should get some rest too. It must have been quite difficult.”

“No, my lord.”

“Just rest. We’ve already wiped out all the relevant forces. Nothing much will happen, but this is the time to rest.”

It was now about twelve o’clock at night.

A post-processing meeting will probably be held sometime tomorrow morning.

Leonhardt’s face showed a rather tired look.

It seemed that he had expended considerable mental energy, as all the opponents he faced were not easy.

So, I need to let him rest for a while.

“It’s an order.”

He eventually nodded quietly to my words.

So my escort knight and the rest of the party went into their respective rooms.

Soon, the inside of the annex became as quiet as a mouse.

Everyone must be sleeping soundly.

It was the same for me.

As soon as I laid my head down on the soft pillow on the bed, my eyes closed on their own.

* ? ?* ? ?*

dripping.

At the sound of a knock on the door, I lifted my heavy eyelids.

?Your Majesty, I have received a call asking you to attend a meeting.

Leonhard.

I opened the door to his voice.

Outside the door, Se-ron was seated with my escort knight.

“Huh. Wait a minute.”

After simply washing your face.

I looked at the two people.

He looked much more refreshed and energetic, as if his fatigue had subsided.

“Did you both get enough rest?”

“yes.”

“Okay then, let’s go.”

So the two of us moved towards Naeseong.

The sky was already dawning.

I closed my eyes at midnight, so I must have slept for more than six hours.

As I entered the conference room in the inner castle, I saw Abel and his vassals.

Three old knights were also present at the meeting.

Articles that participated in the meeting.

Their eyes were all filled with fatigue.

Adolf must have stayed up all night trying to get rid of his cheap diarrhea.

‘I need some help.’

Mental cleaning.

The magic that came out of my hand began to approach Abel and his vassals.

As magic was applied, the eyes of the vassals began to shine brightly.

It was the same with Abel.

“……Thank you. Kyle.”

“No, big brother.”

“Sit here.”

Abel’s seat of authority was right next to his own.

If you were sitting right next to the next head of the household, you could practically be considered second-in-command.

Are you going to treat me this highly?

It seemed like Abel was very grateful to me.

Perhaps because they heard my performance, the servants were quietly nodding their heads.

This performance certainly earned him recognition from his followers.

Now no one will treat me like a loser anymore.

It was a pretty good achievement.

As I sat down, Abel began to speak.

“……Since my father has given me full authority, I will host today’s meeting. Now, let’s begin the meeting.”

Post-processing.

Now it was time to discuss the matter.
