Chapter 287
Although they form the only and unique political system on the continent of Arcadia, they are so contradictory stupid, foolish, selfish and narrow-minded that they even create the illusion of seeing a democratic society with a primitive and uncivilized system.
“Then let’s start the discussion now. Everyone knows what the agenda is, right?”
A place where leaders representing dozens of cities and masters of each school divided into countless branches gathered together. However, there was no dignity or dignity to be found in their appearance. All I see is those who babble with loud voices and insist that everything they say is right.
“Just give mana stones to the Shoen Empire or whatever?”
“Is this man crazy! The amount we give to the Mage Tower and the Saint Empire is staggering, but to give those precious mana stones to those who don't know where they came from?”
“that's right! And those greedy ones don't even ask for a little! Provide 100kg of the highest quality mana stones a year? Ha, this is just crazy.”
The amount the Gael Federation takes in a year is less than 500 kg, but the Shoen Empire demands 20% of it. This alone was an outrageous request that many people hated, but that was not all.
“Is that a problem? You're demanding everything our school has developed! I'm not just selling inventions, I'm just passing on everything from magic theory to crafting blueprints! If not, they say they will take it by force, but this is just for war, are we going to trade face to face? uh?”
The Gael Federation caught spies sent by the Shōen Empire.
They were very indignant at the fact that sensitive military information and classified materials were being secretly stolen from their territory, and went to the Shoen Empire's envoys to formally protest, but they stood out proudly.
[Isn't this kind of covert information collection and covert work done between countries? It seems that the Gael Federation is also carrying out secret operations against the Shoen Empire, or plans to do so, but I wonder if it is something to visit and argue with such resentment
. He quickly changed his stance to the point where even Udyr would raise both hands and feet without his previous benevolent and docile appearance.
[Now that this has happened, we can discuss the future more honestly. I'll tell you straight forward. Come into the arms of our empire. If you do that, even if it's not the Gael Federation, I'll guarantee the safety of the city and its citizens. It would be impossible to tolerate the current method, but if you wish, you can be granted the title of lord and maintain the existing dominion.] [
What is it?]
If you don't kneel and surrender, revealing your ambition to devour the Gael Federation without hesitation. The Shinigami who has been threatening bloodshed. It was too violent and threatening to be said by the representative of the delegation who came for peace, but he spoke in a sincere tone as if what he was saying was not a single lie.
[Deliver to all cities in the Gael Federation. The great emperor of our empire has already made a great decision. Beyond this small city, the entire Federation of Gael... and to present the glory of our continent to the entire continent you belonged to. And I hope you don't dare resist that honor.]
After delivering the requirements for surrender and subjugation, the Shōen Empire's delegation left the Gael Federation. And right away, at the urgently convened Gael Federation leaders' meeting, Junkrat, the master of the steampunk school, opened his mouth with a serious face.
“I am well aware that what they are asking for is absurd. But everyone knows that the atmosphere outside right now is worse than expected.”
The meeting room became quiet at those words.
And soon, some people started to nod their heads.
“that's right. There are already signs that some adventurers are planning to attack our city in groups. At first there were only a few of them, but lately the group seems to be increasing.”
“Is your city like that? Even so, the border area is already the limit. We are in desperate need of support from other cities.”
An abnormal phenomenon seen in several cities bordering the Shoen Empire.
It was the appearance of a group of angry adventurers who hadn't been seen before.
“You damn Josenjins! Do you think we'll be watching you in silence?”
“Wait and see! One day, we will completely take over your city!”
“Chick Show! How dare you insult our Japanese empire? Do you know how to be safe! You guys!”
“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire of Japan!”
Extreme right-wing groups who are paralyzed by hatred of Korea, pouring all sorts of curses and curses at the NPCs in the game, revealing their hatred without hesitation. Those who voluntarily flocked to attack the Gael Federation, already heightened by the gunshotless cyber war taking place on the Internet, were appearing little by little, but the number was not so great.
However, there were enough numbers to arouse fear among the NPCs gathered here.
That's why Master Dumble of the Steam Main school, sitting among those seriously gathering and discussing, looked around as if he had discovered something and asked with a frown.
“Wait a minute... Come to think of it, where the hell did the carrier bastard go?”
The master of the Graffiti School, a fierce enemy of the Steam Main School and an enemy, and the head carrier who controls the city in the immediate vicinity of Mechanium, a city ruled by Dumble.
All of them looked bewildered when they noticed that they had not attended the urgent convening meeting, which is a must for a representative of a city and a school, but none of them knew the exact reason.
“under. It's really varied. In such a precarious and urgent situation, there is a representative who neglects his duty.”
“That’s right. You must be held accountable for this neglect of duty.”
“Let's reduce the allocation of mana stones to the maximum to be handed over to the Gravity School next time.”
Representatives were in a hurry to rush at this opportunity and bite it. However, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut as they suddenly opened the conference room door and saw three people appearing.
“Sorry for being late. It took time because I had an urgent matter to deal with.”
The Master Carrier of the Gravity School, who appeared out of breath and busily appeared.
Everyone at the meeting table knew his face, so no one was taken aback by Carrier's appearance, but Dumble was shocked when he saw the two people following him.
“You are you?”
“Long time no see. How have you been?”
“Oh hello.”
Jaeyoung greets them by waving as if they are happy, and Haimer cautiously greets them, paying attention to whether they are still a bit awkward.
Thinking of what happened in the Mechanium, it wasn't that comfortable and pleasant, so Dumble, who was full of discomfort, soon mumbled and turned the arrow toward the carrier.
“Why did you bring unrelated strangers to this important emergency meeting? Besides, what was the reason for coming so late alone? Do you know that we are so leisurely?”
“I couldn't help it. It just took me some time as I have some basic checks before I bring these two here.”
Carrier's face looks tired. Where did that original ferocious face and warlike spirit go? Dumble and others all looked at the two with half-curious, half-questioning eyes, as if they were aware of his behavior as he only looked at the two of them while crouching down like a toothless tiger. I looked up.
“First of all, since I don’t have time, I’ll tell you directly. As the master of the Gravity school and a member of the representative of the Gael Federation, I request all representatives to certify the creation of the new magic engineering Cannonphilia and the subsequent birth of the master.”
“What?”
“A new magical technology...?”
At that, everyone was startled and turned their heads toward the carrier with round eyes.
“What does that mean? Founding a new magical technology? Is this kid?”
“gibberish! That bastard was part of our Steam main until just a month ago. How can a newbie who has not yet fully mastered the theory of our school...?”
The creation of a new magical technology.
This was not an easy issue for them.
Magic that is more difficult and dangerous than any other discipline.
Although the risk is significantly lower than that of real wizards who accumulate mana in their hearts, it is true that magic engineers always risk their lives in response to unpredictable mana. That's why he couldn't believe the fact that he had created a new magic technology, and that the owner who would wear the title of master was a young man of 20 years old, Heimer.
“It's hard to believe, but it's true. Even the artifact he created based on his knowledge of magic has been confirmed. I'll bet my all and guarantee it here and now. This child has a level of magical engineering knowledge and skill that is comparable to me and everyone else here.”
“Huh.....”
“That can't be.....”
Even though they swore to risk everything, those who didn't erase their eyes of doubt. Their faces wanted to pour out questions with curiosity about what the hell they were doing, but no one could get the questions out of their hearts out of their mouths.
“Are all the people who can be said to be representatives of the Gael Federation gathered here?”
“yes. That's right.”
An adventurer who naturally treats the carrier and asks.
And Carrier, who is responding politely to him with a very cautious attitude.
Everyone had their mouths wide open with a bewildered look at a sight that would never have been seen considering his tyrannical nature, but they were shocked by Jaeyoung's subsequent declaration.
“I’m only going to tell you once, so open your ears and listen carefully. From this moment on, I will take over the Gael Federation.”
“...?”
“...?”
Representatives looking at them with expressions as if they were asking what the hell they were talking about. However, Jaeyoung continued to say what he had to say so calmly.
“From this moment on, mana stones held by all cities in the Gael Federation are forcibly requisitioned to protect the borders of the outlying cities. Also, we plan to gather all the magical engineers and forcefully recruit them, so please select people who are at a usable level and send them all to the border cities.”
Forced requisition of mana stones. And he declares the forced conscription of the magic engineers of each school.
At the absurd demand, which has never been seen before, burials immediately erupted here and there.
“What what? Forced conscription?”
“You want me to spit out all the mana stones?”
“why. I know that I have enough because I received a lot of mana stones because some kind of academic conference was over recently. Don't complain and bring it back.”
“Huh bullshit! Do you think our city will do that?”
“What does it matter what happens to other cities! It's just a matter of defending our city well. Each of them should take care of their own work as they normally do...”
The city that received good grades at the academic conference and took a lot of mana stones reacted strongly. However, they had no choice but to shut their mouths firmly after pouring out strong negative words.
Woo woo woo.
Powerful mana rising from Jaeyoung's body.
Jaeyoung, who drew the power of Merlin, the great wizard of the 8th circle, explosively released mana at a level close to violence that overwhelmed everyone and asked with a bright smile.
“Do you want to die here or do you want to listen to me when I say nice things?”
The Gael Federation survives as a federation while pursuing a republic.
But at this moment. A mighty tyrant was born that no one dared to resist.
He has grand ambitions to realize self-reliant national defense on this land.
An absolute monarch of iron man rule that is close to the ideal who exists only in the imagination.
