Chapter 734



Shortly after the Noll raid ended .

“Won’t the soldiers need a break? Let’s take a break in Reidan . ”

"Thank you for your deep consideration!”

Chris encouraged the soldiers to take a break before returning home .  The soldiers were in tears from the consideration .  The soldiers marched without a break because they thought Grid was in danger, then they fought the vampires after crossing the desert .  They were physically and mentally in a difficult state . Their eyes were dark at the thought of crossing the desert again to return home . It was recommended that they take a break . It was a break in Reidan, the second capital . It was obviously sweet honey .

"Leave the rest to me and return . ”

Chris told Grid as he smiled at the cheering soldiers .

Grid expressed his appreciation . "Thank you for taking care of the soldiers . It will cost a lot of money to provide accommodations and meals to tens of thousands of people . . . "

"It’s natural as a duke of the Overgeared Kingdom . It isn’t something to be thankful about . ”

“ . . . It feels good . ”

Grid was fulfilled . The presence of strong colleagues made him happy . The melancholy of the days when he was alone was washed away .

“What? What force is that?”

"Is this the power of the Overgeared Kingdom?”

‘If you want to interview me, come to Reidan . ’

This was the words of Chris, the hope of Canada .  Since he was busy as duke of the Overgeared Kingdom, he refused to hold a press conference in reality . He couldn’t afford to waste that much time .  Canada’s media agreed to his position . They dispatched reporters to Reidan .

At this point, the reporters’ only concern was the National Competition .  The most prominent Canadian ranker, Chris, received overwhelming support from the Canadian people .  He had been in the top position in the rankings for more than a year . They wanted to know what he thought about the 3rd National Competition, what vision he had and how much he could achieve . The reporters had hundreds of questions to ask Chris, many of which were related to the National Competition .

But now .

"Duke Chris is returning in triumph!”

Tuong! 

Tung! Tung! Tudong!

The procession of tens of thousands of soldiers following Chris as he returned changed the interest of the reporters .



'The total force of the Overgeared Kingdom was estimated to be 60,000 . . . ?’

‘The information was wrong . . . ! Rumor has it that the Overgeared Kingdom only has 60,000 troops . Yet how could there be 40,000 troops in Reidan when it isn’t the capital . . . ! The Overgeared Kingdom must have at least 100,000 troops!’

‘The Overgeared Kingdom . . . ! How can a new kingdom have this much power . . . ? This is Grid’s power!’

The media paid attention to the great procession of soldiers following Chris .  They were excited to find proof that the power of the Overgeared Kingdom was more than the rumors . It was a scoop . But the real scoop occurred afterwards .

“An envoy from the Saharan Empire has arrived!”

“What?”

“Huh?”

Chris and the reporters were surprised . The empire sent an envoy? Why?

‘Haven’t the two nations become completely hostile since the tributes stopped being offered?’

Chris looked troubled at the sight of the envoy .   He was already worried about what the dog of the empire would talk about .

‘The reason why an envoy was sent here might be to test a reconciliation . . . Of course, it will be accompanied by threats . ’

It was upsetting now that he was targeted by the empire . Chris was extremely worried about how the empire would pressure him .  He was feeling anxious when the empire’s envoy came up to him .  The people of Reidan and the Canadian reporters paid attention .

The envoy declared to Chris, “I came to tell you the will of His Majesty the Emperor . ”

“What . . . ?

Chris’ voice was filled with tension .  The tens of thousands of people gathered around him, the people of Reidan and the reporters of Canada were all nervous .  It was a message from Juander, the ultimate person who could change the map of the continent with a few words .

What did he want to convey? It didn’t seem to be anything good .  They could only assume the worst . The moment that everyone was feeling uneasy .

“His Majesty the Emperor wants to make peace with the Overgeared Kingdom . If the Overgeared King doesn’t want the empire to invade Valhalla, the empire will make an immediate truce with Valhalla . ”

“ . . . ?”

"?????"

The buzz in the air suddenly died down . Reidan fell silent .  It was difficult to believe even when they heard it from the empire’s envoy .  The empire wanted to make ‘peace’? They would make a truce with the enemy if the Overgeared King wanted it?

Was there ever such a big event in the continent’s history? No .  The empire’s emperor always exercised absolute power . Everything was resolved according to his will . He only knew how to give commands . He didn’t look at the will of others . This was Emperor Juander .  

Due to that . . .

‘A scoop . . . !’



‘This is be an overseas topic!’

The reporters were convinced . The story of the empire’s envoy would be a featured article .

“Um . . . Let’s go to the great hall . ”

Chris belatedly noticed the atmosphere and led the envoy elsewhere . Due to this, the reporters didn’t know what happened afterwards but it wasn’t a problem .

“Logout!”

The reporters forgot about their original purpose of interviewing Chris and started to leave .

[The Saharan Empire’s emperor, Juander has requested to make peace with the kingdom!]


[The power of the Overgeared Kingdom is much more than revealed . ]

[(Column) For the first time in history, the empire is engaging in ‘diplomacy’ . . . The meaning of this incident is much greater than imagined . ] 

The world was overturned .  The presence of the Overgeared Kingdom, which made even the absolute ruler of the West Continent aware of it, overwhelmed the public .  The media was shaken . Every day, they were busy talking about the greatness of the Overgeared Kingdom and Grid .

Grid thought it was absurd .

“What’s this situation?”

Why was the emperor doing this? Why was he requesting to make peace with them? In order to make peace, he was even willing to sign a truce with Valhalla .

"In fact, isn’t there an ulterior motive?”

The Overgeared King’s office .  The uneasy Grid was making underwear with the God Hands . He was feeling confused when he heard a knocking sound .

“It’s Lauel . ”

“Good! Come in!”

Grid welcomed it .  The situation had changed recently so he thought that Lauel could resolve his questions .  Grid wanted to know the truth and be rid of the confusion . Lauel gave him a thumbs up .

"Great . ”

“What?”

"It’s a result of Your Majesty assembling an army in Reidan in a matter of days . ”

“ . . . ?”

Grid made an expression like he couldn’t understand .

Lauel smiled and explained, “Your Majesty convened an army to raid Noll, but the timing was exquisite . It’s because the empire gathered most of their troops in Valhalla, while you gathered a force in Reidan, the rear of the empire . The emperor thought you were a threat to the empire . ”

“ . . . ”

“This is the result . The empire recognized that it was dangerous to deal with both Overgeared and Valhalla at the same time, making them pull out a carrot . The emperor had to start diplomatic actions . I am sure that the name of Your Majesty will remain in the history of the empire . ”

“Um . . . ” Grid understood the situation after hearing Lauel’s explanation . But he was stunned . "I can’t understand why the empire felt a threat? Can’t the power of the empire destroy both Overgeared and Valhalla? Why do they feel threatened?”

"That is also because of Your Majesty . ”

“Because of me?”

Lauel laughed .

"Didn’t the descendent of the Undefeated King appear in Valhalla and push the Red Knights to the point of collapse? The emperor is frightened of the Undefeated King’s descendant . ” 

“Ah . . . ”

The moment he used 100,000 Army Massacre Sword in the war, Grid was misunderstood as the descendant of the Undefeated King . This was the repercussion .

"The rumor that the empire is afraid of the Undefeated King’s descendant is true . ”

"Maybe it’s more than rumored . ”

“Indeed . . . They’re afraid . ”

Grid was reminded of the Undefeated King’s death knight and his body shook . Grid couldn’t imagine how strong the Undefeated King was when alive . He felt pity for the imperial army who fought with the Undefeated King .

"It all worked out in the end . We won’t have to fear any problems during the period where we’re at peace with the empire . The minimum period of a truce is two years . We have to build up maximum power during this period . ”

"The period of peace is so short?”

“No . It can go from one year to twenty years . Up to twenty years . ”

"Then isn’t it possible for us to set the period of peace as long as possible?”

“Long-lasting peace requires a good talker with a high diplomatic stat . They need to use diplomatic skills and conversation to negotiate with the opponent . Unfortunately, there is no one with this talent in the Overgeared Kingdom .

“Huroi?”

"He is unchallenged in the art of communication but . . . He doesn’t have the diplomatic stat . ”

“It’s too bad . It would be useful in many ways if Huroi has the diplomatic stat . ”

Lauel’s eyes shone .

"Then will you give the command to Huroi?”

“What command?”

"A command to proceed with the diplomatic quest . ”

"What is the diplomatic quest?”

"It is one of the quests for high ranking nobles . ”

“Those who perform this quest can gain a diplomat’s status and open the diplomatic quest?”

"Yes, that's right . Of course, the degree of difficulty of the quest is very high . It will take at least half a year to complete the quest . ”

“Kung . . . ”

Grid couldn’t say anything .  Huroi was also a ranker . Grid knew better than anyone how much effort Huroi put in to be by Grid’s side .  Grid didn’t want to force Huroi to stop levelling up and to go on a difficult quest . It was likely that Huroi would lose the ranker position that he worked so hard for . After a moment, Grid shook his head .

"If no one has done the diplomatic quest so far, it means they don’t see the merit in being a diplomat . It’s okay . I have no intention of interfering with Huroi . I would rather pick a new person . ”

"Is that so . . . ? I understand . ”

Lauel was inwardly disappointed, but he already anticipated Grid’s reaction . The moment that Lauel nodded and bowed .

“My Lord! Nooooooooo!”

The door of Grid’s office burst open and Huroi ran in .  Huroi was someone who tried to stay by Grid’s side as much as possible . Even today, he was guarding the front of Grid’s office in the name of an ‘escort . ’

"I heard the two of you from the front door! Leave it to me! A diplomat! I will become one! I will make excellent conversation with foreign diplomats and make them puppets of the Overgeared Kingdom!”

“ . . . Is that a diplomat?”

He didn’t think a diplomat would use such methods . Grid’s eyes were red with anxiety but he smiled . The appreciation he felt for Huroi was always big .

‘Before the start of the National Competition, I need to create a new item for Huroi . ’

Grid decided .  

The National Competition was approaching .
