Chapter 189 – Enclave (01)

The letter returned from Duke Davin was as follows.

I cannot accept the conditions, but I would like to hold a meeting with representatives of each faction within the Davin duchy to avoid causing internal strife with members of the royal faction.

Naturally, most people reacted negatively, but this was actually what they had hoped for.

From the beginning, I assumed that he wouldn’t accept it, but in order to take the snacks out of the hands of the child who was holding them in both hands, I would have to scold him to tears or hold something else in his hands.

Duke Davin, if he wants to educate that little boy properly, how useless it is for him to just keep the royalist soldiers he has raised lying around in his fiefdom.

And there was a need to show how easily their sense of superiority, which they had formed by simply scraping together troops, could be breached by the elites of other powers.

“Let’s send representatives from each faction.”

Everyone had already reached an agreement.

There was no need for each faction to select a separate representative.

In [The Master of the Sword], Marian Dnevarin, the eldest lady and in charge of the Marian guerrilla force, was appointed as Sir Andre’s agent.

In [Shadow Clan], Inori, the head of the small family, was appointed as the representative of the Shadow Clan.

In the case of the [Alphyrio Caravan], The owner of the caravan, Hollio himself, decided to go there.

In the case of [Golem Factory], The current external representative was Melissa, so while she selected me as her agent her her her, she was selected as a co-agent as well as Golem No. 2.

“Is Melissa going to be okay?”

“I can’t go into battle yet because my equipment isn’t complete. I’ll be waiting here.”

Melissa, whose perpetual motion mechanism was missing, was unable to power the golem’s parts as she wanted before.

If she had the previous polar syllable constitution, she would not have lacked power, but since I had cured her constitution, Melissa could not be used as a combatant until she developed the next generation power source.

However.

Crash.

“…Can I use it?”

“Because Aren can emit power. If you run out of power, hand it over to No. 2 and he will recharge it in no time.”

They were attaching metal backpack-type equipment to my left arm.

She was able to fight Marian before, thanks to her timely use of the Mana Cannon, so she did receive it.

Spurrrr…

When I looked at the bracelet with [Golem Maker]’S ability, I found that when the bracelet is deployed, it is a self-defense tool that uses power from my arm to fire air bullets, and an air shield that protects against projectiles by condensing the function of firing the air bullets. It was a tool that could be made.

“I’m sorry. My hands haven’t loosened up yet, so I can only give you this much equipment.”

“This much is enough.”

Anyway, a sword from a famous family is enough as a weapon.

From the famous sword family, we head to the place where Duke Davin’s family is based.

It was originally a castle built to protect the territory during the great war of the past, but was abandoned as the era of peace continued. However, when the civil war began, Baron Davin, who survived in his own way, used it as a base and built up his power by attracting royalist soldiers.

‘The number of soldiers is considerable’

The moment you enter the Duchy of Davin, the approximate number of troops here is displayed, and the number of troops is 5,000++.

The only number that can be identified currently is 5,000.

Of course, since 5,000 men cannot be gathered in this place, the rest would have been sent to the rear to serve as a defense. If they were all gathered together and all the soldiers associated with each force were summoned, the number of troops for the royal faction as a whole would be 15,000 to 2. It will be around 10,000.

Of course, that’s the number that can be used as a force right now, and if the royal family is restored and the troops are summoned on a large scale and the deserted soldiers are reunited, the number will be almost double.

This is the limit now that the royal family has collapsed.

The reason why Duke Davin desperately claims that they are descended from the king is because they want to revive the royal family and mobilize soldiers who have not yet joined each faction to obtain a force of more than 40,000.

‘The number of soldiers in the communist faction is estimated to be approximately 20,000, but…’

The duke faction’s soldiers must be defeated at three times the normal strength, but they are not impossible to deal with as long as you plan your strategy well and bring in various allies.

As we passed the soldiers in the outskirts and saw the relatively ornately decorated castle of Duke Davin, and the knights who guarded it tightly, we all clicked our tongues in the same spirit.

“Tsk.”

It was almost like obtaining items or decorations used in the royal family and decorating them.

Of course, it is inferior to the actual royal palace, but it is decorated to this extent while using this place as a front-line fortress.

‘Of course these guys can’t do it’

I clicked my tongue and went inside, and the knights were on guard as they saw the swordsmen of the famous family that followed me, or the elite mercenaries who had contracted with Alphyrio’s caravan, but perhaps they had received news in advance, so they did not stop us and let us in.

Tiring-

– Global event [Unification within the royal faction] Begins –

‘Is this also an event?’

Originally, due to the nature of Celestial Academy, an SRPG game, it was just something that would be mentioned once as an event and be over, but since I have to actually be the center of it, it’s quite… Burdensome.〈 Br〉

“The guards should wait here and only representatives of each faction can enter.”

The knights blocked the road and threatened, but surprisingly, the swordsmen of the famous family did not get angry and retreated obediently, but the elite mercenaries of the Alphyrio caravan looked anxious.

“You are here.”

At Hollyo’s suggestion, we went deeper inside, leaving Mr. Jesu and the mercenaries behind, and now we stood in front of Duke Davin, who was dozing off in a high chair that almost resembled a throne.

And I could also see Gordon standing next to him, guarding him.

“…Hmm.”

Gordon was looking down at us with an unpleasant expression, and Duke Davin was smiling brightly when he looked at Inori’s face her as if he was annoyed.

“Ah, the head of the shadow family’s small family! Have you come to visit me?”

Inori was next to me with her face covered with a mask, and Duke Davin looked disappointed in her cool-headed appearance.

“So… Why did you come?”

“Duke Davin.”

Marian, who came as a representative from the famous sword family, stepped forward and spoke.

“This is your final warning. Stop impersonating the royal family and disband your troops.”

“What… Impersonating?”

“We already know that your bloodline does not contain royal blood, and this has also been confirmed by the [Shadow Family] In charge of information collection.”

“Adjutant, what does that mean?”

In response to Duke Davin’s question, his lieutenant approached him at the time and presented a pedigree chart of the Duke Davin family.

“I can’t believe that the information gathering skills of the famous sword family and the shadow family are this high. Before that, the princess of the 8th great-grandfather King’s life was with the ancestor of the Duke of Davin…”

“Rita.”

At Marian’s words, Inori took out a long scroll from her [Her her shadow her pocket her her her] Her between her her breasts her her her her.

Sigh.

The scroll she brought was the royal family tree, confirming how far the lineage that started in the royal family had spread.

“There is no such fact. And if we have to proceed in that way.”

Ji-Ik.

“The Dnevarin family is closer because it married the princess of the 4th great-grandfather and continued its lineage.”

However, the sword master swore loyalty and said that he would never go beyond the royal family, so he is not included in the line of succession to the king.

If the Duke of Davin says they will take the royal family at any cost, they are threatening that priority will go to the famous sword family.

“…”

While the adjutant was looking angry, the pig nobleman who seemed to be his partner was glaring at us with a strange expression.

In fact, even if Duke Davin gathered troops by pretending to be of royal blood, other forces failed to step forward for their own reasons… Namely, because they were superiors, intelligence units, or because they were famous sword families who had pledged loyalty to the royal family.

In other words, since they couldn’t do it themselves, they didn’t bother to question it even when Duke Davin came forward on their behalf.

“Are you trying to tell me that at present no one has the authority to gather royalist forces?”

In principle, the story was correct. Actually, let’s do that.

If we’re going to gather troops like we are now and lock them in the territory like this, we’d rather let them go.

“It’s complicated. I don’t know, Gordon.”

“Your Majesty the Duke, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Of course, Duke Davin had no of accepting it, and Gordon began to slowly show his intimidation towards us by pressing intention down on his helmet.

Seeing the knights stationed at the rear also reaching for their weapons, Golem No. 2 increased the output of the permanent engine drive attached to its chest a little and began to warm up its armament, and Marian also placed her hand on the sword of the famous family. It was put on.

Inori seemed defenseless, but her shadow was already spreading out in all directions, waiting for an opportunity.

“No, it is.”

The pig noble suddenly came between us.

“Among the current survivors, isn’t there at least one person who inherits royal blood?”

‘Are you talking about Cylians?’

When the pig nobleman suddenly appeared, the lieutenant told him to get out of the way, but unlike usual, he did not waddle around and stood between us and Duke Davin with a confident step.

“She is a direct descendant of Princess Esmeralda, the older king’s older sister.”

I looked at the royal family tree that Inori was holding.

Princess Esmeralda, she actually exists. She is the great-grandmother of Sailian, if she is the previous king of the generation before the deceased father of Sailian, the current king.

And the place where she got married is the Duke of Renellian.

“Traitors are exempt from the right to succession to the throne.”

The pig nobleman responds with a sneer to Inori’s cold objection.

“No. In the current situation, he is the rightful heir to the throne.”

“Gordon… I’m scared…”

When the Duke of Davin began to fear, Gordon entrusted the Duke of Davin to his adjutant and approached the pig nobleman with sparks flying from his eyes.

“Are you now claiming the legitimacy of a traitor?”

“It is the legitimacy of the royal family.”

“Then I guess we can say you are the enemy.”

As he received Gordon’s murder, the pig noble rolled up his mouth and smiled.

“I was a Duke from the beginning. It’s just that Davin is not that kid.”

“-Charger. Dangerous energy detected-“

Beetle.

Inori suddenly retreated to my side with a startled expression, her shadow, her blurring.

The lights in Duke Davin’s house were all filled with the jewels of Demon World that I had seen before, and at some point, they began to glow red and turn the surroundings into Demon World.

‘To draw them here from the beginning?’

It is difficult to bring the Demon World’s jewels to us and make them influence us, but there was no answer to making them come into a place where hundreds… Maybe thousands of jewels had been installed in advance.

I also knew that Inori was installed, but I just thought it was to prevent assassinations due to [Shadow Ninjutsu], So I didn’t even suspect it!

‘If it’s this level of Demon Realm… It’s dangerous!’

If you are an untrained, non-combat force, your body will be contaminated with demonic energy just by being in this place.

In fact, not only us but also the knights were polluted and began to fall down.

“Ooooo!!”

Whisk.

About half of the knights fall and about half begin to reveal their true identity by spewing out magical energy from their bodies.

The equipment they were carrying was a royalist sword, but their identity was clearly recognizable due to the magical energy emanating from their bodies.

“Thank you everyone for gathering here.”

The pig nobleman’s body began to melt like wax.

Inside the melted body of the pig nobleman, a middle-aged man of the same height as him but with a skinny body was smiling, and his face was familiar to the students from Class F here.

Although his appearance had changed a lot, perhaps because he was eroded by demonic energy or because he had accepted the devil’s abilities, he was the man who attacked us that day as the Four Heavenly Kings of the Duke Sect.

“These bodies are the four henchmen chosen by the duke, currently called the Four Heavenly Kings.”

“It’s called Berdot. Then I want you to die now.”
